Pingyang Fu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 69 The Wang family misses Jinling
Dawu Pingyang County City, Luoyunhou Mansion.

After Zhang Jinyu finished his trip to Luoyun Lake, he settled the important matter on his mind, and his confidant cavalry finally found a place.

In the early morning of the second day, I woke up in a good mood.

Now that I have nothing to do after breakfast, I just read the latest palace newspaper of the imperial court in Dongyun Tower to learn about the policies of the Dawu imperial court and the developments in other regions.

Mrs. Wang also sat there with her to embroider a handkerchief and didn't bother, knowing that her son was no better than before, and he was regarded as a prince.

Only by knowing enough information can we avoid whether the next step is right or wrong, and Zhang Jinyu didn't ask until he finished reading;

"After reading it, what do you think?"

Zhang Jinyu stretched her waist, knowing that the Dawu Empire is relatively stable now, but the initial separatist forces have faintly formed, but they are still begging for food under the brand of Dawu, so they replied,

"Military power is still military power. The noble families under the great martial arts have already divided up the elite of the great martial arts. Those who have military power are the top nobles. If they don't have military power, they are also out of the super rank. I want to complete the 25 army in the shortest possible time. Recruit and train, make sure there are enough soldiers."

Mrs. Wang didn't say that she judged Zhang Jinyu's right or wrong, but continued to ask,
"Recruitment is easy to say. Dawu has plenty of people. As long as the money and food keep up, you can find 100 million. Didn't you write some training minutes for training, and you can't see the results now. What else?"

Zhang Jinyu also understands her mother's intentions, not only looking at the military, but also taking care of the internal affairs,

"Consolidate people's livelihood and develop internal affairs."

"That's right. As long as the people's hearts are solid and the military power is in hand, even the emperor can't do anything about you. Now there is only one heir who is your son. It seems that the emperor will definitely recruit you to Beijing this time. There are also those old foxes. , mother will accompany you on a trip to see what the capital is like."

"Well, if my mother goes to Beijing, it will be difficult to figure it out, I'm afraid."

Zhang Jinyu was a little hesitant, this is going to Beijing as a hostage.

"I'm afraid that the imperial court will take me as a hostage, as long as you have the heart, but the capital can control others, but not me, don't worry."

"Mother, do you want to think about it in the long run!"

Zhang Jinyu still didn't feel right, and didn't want her mother to accompany her to Beijing in person, and she didn't know what the attitude of the court or the royal family was.

"No need to persuade me, I just don't want to go. Those wealthy ladies, Princess Xungui will not let me sit here safely. After reading so many palace newspapers, do you know the biggest drawback of the Dawu court?"

Zhang Jinyu was surprised to hear her mother's thinking was so clear.

But remembering that my mother came to the outside of the pass alone back then, needless to say, this courage. As for the shortcomings of the court, it is really like the end of the Ming Dynasty in Lanxing, and it is as bloated as the Song Dynasty, but the shortcomings of the country did not happen overnight.

"Mother, the current imperial court is like a serious illness. It needs to be cured everywhere, but it can't be cured everywhere, so no one wants to change even though they know it's wrong."

"Yes, it's very vivid. Today's Great Wu Dynasty Hall has been in a state of depression for a long time, and both the inner and outer courts are hanging in the air. Now the central government is slowly losing its military power. The four kings and eight princes who were so prominent back then have long since faded away, and now they are dead! "

Mrs. Wang showed a look of reminiscence again, Nannan said,

"Do you know, in Jinling, how much I like Jinghu, how much I like my house, but when I met Jia's old and powerful, they were able to persecute me like this, and I realized the gap between power and reality."

Wang Shihan stood up and walked to the window, opened the window, and took a deep breath. This era is so unfair to women.

But there is no way, the world is like this, so what can I do, I look at everything outside, the wind blows the willows, the garden flowers are fragrant, it is too beautiful to behold.

Everything here is still the way I like it, and I turned around and said,
"Seventeen years have passed in a flash. The historians back then, the Wang family, the Jia family, the Xue family, and the Zhen family hidden under the water, none of them were powerful families, and which were not royal relatives. As far as I know, they are now relying on Marriage depends on the marriage of women to maintain the glory and authority of the family."

Zhang Jinyu listened to what her mother said, it was deafening!

These words pointed directly at the status quo of those aristocratic families in the imperial court, and the temperament of her mother's speech was absolutely extraordinary, as if she was facing those company bosses. Zhang Jinyu was also very surprised, and listened respectfully.

"Another example is my Wang family. I know that the head of the Wang family has two younger sisters who are in full bloom. One is married to the Jia family. In order to win over the Beijing camp, he has secured his position as Jiedu envoy, and the other is married to the Jinling family. The Xue family of the local imperial merchant, that middle-aged man, in order to obtain financial resources, relied on them to make the Wang family overwhelm the old enemy and prevent the Wang family from falling."

When Mrs. Wang said this, she would go back to the house and sit down, quietly made a pot of tea, poured a cup and handed it to Zhang Jinyu, and then said,

"In order to consolidate the military power again, I heard that I married my own niece into the Jia family again. Such an act is extremely shameless. However, although the practice is disgraceful, the Wang clan must not forget the protection of the Wang family until it violates its own interests. It is only when you eat back at yourself, that you feel remorse."

Zhang Jinyu heard what her mother meant. There are some things that I despise but I still have to do them, but I have to be careful to retaliate when I do them. However, Zhang Jinyu disagrees with some things. Although marriage is the best way to get married, this is not what a man does.

"Mother, what you said makes sense, but one thing is undeniable. This is all for your own benefit, for your own family, and even for your allies. Marriage in Dawu is all about getting power and money. I didn't see it. To the act of getting married for the sake of the world."

Zhang Jinyu also stood up, thought about everything about Dawu, combined with the history of Blue Star, and continued to speak clearly;

"Dawu is not so much the world of aristocratic families, it is better to say that it is the world of everyone. In today's world, if there were no martial arts and literati from poor families who worked hard, and without us frontier generals desperately defending the city, Dawu would have been in chaos. Such absurd things can also increase officials and ranks, which shows that the imperial court has accumulated a lot."

Mrs. Wang looked at her son in shock, looking so strange and wise.

"you,"

Zhang Jinyu said again;
"This move is the acquisition of military power by the Dawu court and even the royal family, so I know that we must leave enough room for promotion and wealth and glory to the poor children, otherwise they will only be prosperous for a while, and they will still be defeated in the end. The rest depends on the timing. Now as long as Dawu does not Moving outside the customs, I will definitely not go that far, the timing is not right, Guochao has not lost its deer, so I will temporarily avoid the edge."

After Zhang Jinyu finished speaking, she looked at Wang steadfastly, and Wang stood there for a long time without saying a word.

In the end, Mrs. Wang smiled gratifiedly. Only when her son has grown up can he have the courage and ambition of a lord.

"I was afraid that you would forget yourself when you came to Beijing and saw the luxury of the capital, and tried to remind you. I didn't expect you to see farther than me. I am very relieved. This time I want to show my deterrence when I return to Beijing. The face of the imperial court, especially the face of the royal family, must be grasped at a certain degree, and it is understandable."

"Yes, mother, it depends on whether the court will give you a chance."

"Yes, now don't you feel that the powerful families in the pass are starting to get anxious, but it's too late, the elites of the great martial arts are in the frontier army, and the elites of the frontier army in the nine provinces have long been divided up, and no water can be poured in. Only the outside of the pass is still surrounded by you Picked peaches, so families without military power are in a hurry."

Those local Jiedu envoys in the pass are also fragrant buns, and those noble families look down upon are occupied by those small families, and now they can't move a bit.

"You must have a lot of troubles when you return to Beijing this time, so the purpose of my going back with you is to block those rich and noble ladies, and secondly, I want to go back to Jinling to have a look, my Mirror Lake."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help her eyes turning red when she said this, and she shed tears. Zhang Jinyu felt deeply sad when she saw Wang's tears, and thought about changing the topic.

"It will be fine. I will go with you and see how beautiful Jinghu Lake is. It can be as beautiful as Luoyun Lake. I am also curious. They all have the same lake water, so I can tell the difference between the good and the bad. .”

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said nothing. It was not because the lake itself was beautiful, but because of her childhood memories.

And my best memories, I haven't been back for so many years, I don't know if the house is there, and what my boudoir looks like, it's looking at the hometown, missing.

There are also the lonely graves of my father and mother, which have not been cleaned for so many years. I don't know if the parents who know the ground will forgive their daughter's unfilial piety.

Father's favorite sea bass and mother's favorite lake shrimp were not enshrined, thinking of this, Wang Shihan felt sad.

Zhang Jinyu also saw the sadness of her mother's nostalgia and homesickness, so she silently walked behind Wang and helped her mother to comfort her, Wang said in a low voice;

"It's okay, I just miss my family in Jinling City a little bit, but the family is gone, only you can have a home."

"Don't worry, mother, I will accompany you to visit Jinling."

"it is good."

When Zhang Jinyu heard her mother's soft response, she also hated the Jinling Jia family in her heart. This time, she went to ask for an explanation anyway, those bastards.
