Chapter 521
What exactly does Fu Qionglin mean? It is reasonable to say that Su Jingchen is a number one scholar and should have entered the Imperial Academy at the beginning, but the emperor did the opposite and asked Su Jingchen to go to the north to start as a county magistrate.

According to the laws of Great Liang, officials are not allowed to return to their hometowns to serve, because they are afraid that officials will be involved with the family power in their hometown, and they will not be able to clearly resolve the lawsuit, or they will become local bosses, local emperors, and the like.

I don't know what Fu Yi told the emperor at the time, anyway, Su Jingchen's official career trajectory is completely different from that in the book.

Failure to enter the Hanlin Academy meant that he would have no chance to enter the cabinet in the future, so Su Jingchen would probably end up as a third-rank official for the rest of his life.

Just when Su Jingchen and Yu Xiaolian thought so, Fu Qionglin said that Su Jingchen had a chance to return to Beijing to be a Beijing official, which...

Yu Xiaolian always felt that Fu Qionglin and the emperor had some conspiracy waiting for them, but she still couldn't guess what it was.

In the evening, when Su Jingchen came back from the Salt Transportation Department, Yu Xiaolian shared his worries with Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen only reassured Yu Xiaolian not to think too much, and told her to take care of herself and her children during this time, and not to go out casually.

Yu Xiaolian knew that in addition to Fu Qionglin's letter, Su Jingchen should have also received a secret letter from the emperor, but it was a court secret, and Su Jingchen could not tell her.

Since Su Jingchen reassured her, Yu Xiaolian no longer worried.

"I knew it would be so embarrassing to come to Yangzhou. When I was in Luzhou, I might as well go back to Yuzhou with my fifth aunt." Yu Xiaolian missed her parents very much after not seeing her parents for several years.

Su Jingchen glanced at Yu Xiaolian, and suddenly said, "Yangzhou is not very far from Yuzhou, if you want to go back, I'll let someone escort you back?"

Yu Xiaolian stood up with her eyes lit up, and sat back with her shoulders slumped after a while, "It still doesn't work, the situation on your side is uncertain now, and if I leave, my heart will not be at ease!"

In fact, Yu Xiaolian was already struggling on the way to Yangzhou. She didn't like officialdom, and thought that the best and happiest life would be for a family to live steadily and happily together. However, Su Jingchen had a With such a lofty and ambitious heart, she really couldn't open her mouth to stop him.

Originally, she was not sure about her determination to stay away from officialdom, but after reading Fu Qionglin's letter, she had already made up her mind.

She didn't want to be a lady for some princess at all, and she didn't want her daughter to do reading companions and handkerchiefs for the princess.

Maybe this is an opportunity that many people can't even ask for, but Yu Xiaolian doesn't want this kind of opportunity.

A companion is like a tiger, and the people in the royal family are the most complicated. She only wants her daughter to be safe and happy, and grow up without any worries. She doesn't want her to participate in the intrigue.

Yu Xiaolian looked at Su Jingchen, "If the emperor calls me into the palace, I don't intend to accept the order!"

Su Jingchen was a little surprised, "Why?"

If you don't accept the decree, you are resisting the decree!
After Yu Xiaolian expressed her thoughts, Su Jingchen was silent for a long time.

He couldn't get away for the time being, but he was already approaching Cheng Wang's mansion, and he believed that Kou's family would come to him soon.

"Three years, no, two years at the most, give me two years, and I will take care of everything." Su Jingchen gently pressed his hand on Yu Xiaolian's shoulder.

He had to take revenge on his mother's revenge, and if he didn't take revenge, he would be in vain as a son of man!
Yu Xiaolian also understood Su Jingchen, but what should I do if the emperor's imperial decree comes?
It would be best if there is some way to make the emperor dispel the idea of ​​calling Yu Xiaolian to Beijing.

There are quite a few female gentlemen in Daliang, but it can be said that almost none have received the emperor's attention in their official careers. Yu Xiaolian does not want to be the No. 1 in this age.

Moreover, she didn't think that a country like Tangtang would lack such a garlic, and there might be other deep meanings in it.

The emperor asked Su Jingchen to stay in Yangzhou to manage the Lilianghuai salt field, but asked her to take the child to Beijing. Yu Xiaolian always felt that she was going to be a hostage.

Su Jingchen was silent for a long time, and said, "The Lianghuai Salt Farm is the emperor's pocketbook. The emperor has suffered a loss for a while, and it is understandable that he does not want to suffer a second time, but it is really too much for us to separate our husband and wife."

Seeing that Su Jingchen wanted to go with her, Yu Xiaolian quickly asked, "Then what should we do?"

She doesn't want to go to the capital at all!
Su Jingchen comforted Yu Xiaolian and said, "The emperor just has this idea, and may not really call you to Beijing."

"What if the emperor comes for real?" Yu Xiaolian stared at Su Jingchen.

Su Jingchen said in a low voice, "I have my own way, don't worry!"

Yu Xiaolian frowned and asked, "What can I do? Can't you tell me?"

Su Jingchen pulled Yu Xiaolian over, sat on his lap, and whispered something.

The more Yu Xiaolian listened, the more frightened she became.

It turned out that the officialdom in Yangzhou was so complicated, no wonder Su Jingchen kept those bandits under custody and refused to confront Cao Guangqiao. It turned out that Cao Guangqiao was the one who made money for the prince, Jun Tingye, in the early days.

No wonder Cao Guangqiao collapsed when Jun Yi'an was the emperor, but Cao Guangqiao was spared when he became the queen of Jun Ting Ye.

Those who belong to the emperor will have to wait for the emperor to deal with them, so Su Jingchen has already mentioned in the secret letter to the emperor that Cao Guangqiao sent people to assassinate him, and only wait for the emperor's sage to make a decision.

"Then why didn't the emperor continue to use Cao Guangqiao as an envoy to transport salt from the Huaihe River to the Huaihe River, instead of sending you to Yangzhou?" Yu Xiaolian was puzzled.

"The king's heart is unpredictable, I'm afraid the emperor has his own considerations."

Su Jingchen avoided Yu Xiaolian's gaze, he couldn't tell her that the emperor sent him here to kill all directions, and kill all those who threatened his throne in the end.

Just understand it in your heart, and you can't say this kind of thing.

As for letting Yu Xiaolian go to the capital, Su Jingchen knew that the emperor wanted to hold a handle, but as long as he took the initiative to send another handle to the emperor, he believed that the emperor would not hold on to Yu Xiaolian.

After all, the weight of the Zhongyihou Mansion may be even heavier in the emperor's heart.

On the surface, it seems that the Zhongyihou Mansion is now in the sunset, and it is not a climate, but the Zhongyihou Mansion has a gold medal for avoiding death bestowed by the former emperor. The weight of this gold medal for avoiding death is unique in Daliang.

As long as Su Jingchen reveals that he is the descendant of Marquis Zhongyi, the emperor will definitely step forward for him and let him replace Kou Siyu.

In this way, the death-prevention gold medal returned to the emperor, and there was no threat to him.

"Didn't the former emperor only allow three generations of the Kou family to inherit the title, and Kou Siyu's generation is already the last generation, why is the emperor still worried about the Kou family?" Yu Xiaolian asked suspiciously.

Su Jingchen smiled faintly, "It's just that Kou Siyu and Prince Cheng's Mansion are too close!"

A family of generals, even though they have no military power now, still makes the emperor fearful.

After all, Kou Maonian's reputation in his early years was too loud, so loud that people dare not underestimate his descendants as incompetent.
