Chapter 50 Aunt Kang

"The reason why the official family lost its ambitions was certainly due to the betrayal of Xianggong Han, but it also had a lot to do with the fact that the official family had no heirs. In the past, the official family had no children and only wanted stability, and did not touch Xianggong Han. Meaning, but now that the official family has an heir, if a prince is born, the official family will definitely pave the way for him."

"With the current physical condition of the official family, it is very likely that the prince will not be able to survive until he reaches adulthood. If Mr. Han is still in power at that time, he is likely to become a powerful minister. This is something that your majesty cannot tolerate. Mr. Han's move is because he wants to Provoke a civil-military dispute and see how many people are of the same mind as him." Yuan Weichang said.

Yuan Wenshao said in surprise: "The emperor has not yet been born, and it is still unknown whether he is a prince or a princess. Isn't Mr. Han a little too anxious to do this?"

He knew the plot. The heir of the official family would either die in childbirth or die young. It was impossible for him to survive anyway.

Master Han doesn't know the future, but there is no need to rush to act before the men and women are determined, right?
"Haha, this is the brilliance of Mr. Han. Few people who can be ranked in the court are fools. If when the dragon son is born and the officials intend to do something to him, all the princes in the court will be aware of it. Who dares to associate with him?"

"The situation is unclear now, and the officials have no intention of doing anything against Mr. Han. Most people still dare not offend Mr. Han. It will be difficult to think about it after boarding the boat." Yuan Weichang said.

"Dad, let's not talk about this for now. I want to know if there is any way to save Balang Lang. Before coming to Bianjing, Duke Ding asked me to take care of Balang. Duke Ding is kind to him, so he can't ignore him," Yuan Wenshao said. .

In the past, he had always felt that his father was very weak and did not have the demeanor of a head of the family at all.

But now it seems that he underestimates his cheap father.

Among other things, being able to analyze so many things just based on the course of the incident shows that Yuan Weichang is very well-mannered, and he is very clear about the affairs of the court.

Through this incident, Yuan Wenshao also realized many of his own shortcomings.

After he was awarded the title, he was a little complacent. Now it seems that the court is a place that operates cunningly and has too many calculations.

The higher he stands, the harder he may fall. He will have to ask his father for advice in the future.

But he didn't have time to think so much now, he just wanted to know if there was any way to rescue Sun Hao.

Yuan Weichang shook his head slightly: "Every time you face a major event, you have to be calm. The bigger the matter, the more calm you are, so that your judgment will not be affected. I have said so much for my father. In addition to letting you know some secrets in the court, I also want to tell you , Grandpa Sun is just a chess piece to provoke a civil and military dispute, it is not important. No matter how the fight is fought tomorrow, Grandpa Sun will be released."

"Don't worry, it's impossible for the officials to chill the hearts of the lords." Yuan Weichang affirmed.

After Yuan Wenshao received a positive answer from his father, he went to find Liu Lei, hoping to tell him the news so that he would not have to run around.

When he found Liu Lei, Liu Lei also told him how he went to the British government for help.

After he arrived at the British government, he met the British government after being notified.

After the British minister finished listening, he just asked him to go back first and wait and see what happens next.

After hearing this, Yuan Wenshao felt that the British father should also have seen the secret, and he was completely relieved.

In the early morning of the next day, a military general took the lead in impeaching Xue Qi, the governor of Kaifeng, for overstepping his authority and detaining the son of Duke Ding.

Then Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment stood up and refuted, saying that Xue Qi's actions completely agreed with the regulations.

The civil and military officials were divided into three camps, one of which was the military commanders, and the other was the civil officials headed by Han Daxianggong.

The two sides started a fierce quarrel in the court hall.

The third camp is some neutral officials, including Yuan Wenshao.

Last night Yuan Weichang called him to his study and told him for a long time not to get involved no matter what happened during the morning court.

Although Yuan Wenshao was puzzled, he still did as his father said.

The official family sat high on the throne and did not stop them, allowing them to quarrel.

Grand Prime Minister Han had not spoken a word from the beginning. Seeing the quarrel becoming more and more fierce, he stepped out of the queue and cupped his hands and said: "Please, your majesty, judge to calm down the fight."

The official said calmly: "You think of me now? When you and I were quarreling, did you take me seriously? All the gentlemen in the house are like scoundrels in the market, and they are not afraid of being laughed at by everyone in the world!"

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

When all the officials heard what the official said, they quickly bowed and confessed.

"Ha!" The official sneered and said, "It was just a small fight, but it turned up in court. Xue Qi, the governor of Kaifeng, neglected his duty and was fined half a year's salary."

"I'm terrified, thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" Xue Qi didn't have the slightest thought of refuting.

The official looked at the general again and said calmly: "I often hear that meritorious children cause trouble. From now on, all the ministers should restrain the children in the family. I don't want to hear about such things again."

"The ministers obey the order."

In the end, the official ordered Xue Qi to release Sun Hao, and Sun Hao had to compensate the person who was beaten 100 taels of silver, which brought the matter to an end.

It can be said that the officials each played [-] big boards, and no one had a preference, but the decision to release Sun Hao in the end undoubtedly made the generals feel that they had the upper hand, so they were a little proud.

Yuan Wenshao felt that this matter was a little too anticlimactic, and he did not figure it out until after the dynasty dispersed.

On the carriage, Yuan Weichang looked at Yuan Wenshao, who was frowning and thinking hard, and said, "Do you think this matter has some meaning?"

"Yes." Yuan Wenshao nodded.

"Haha, things in the court are like this. It's impossible to get into a big fight over such trivial matters. Most of the time it's just to show an attitude. The generals are like this, the Grand Prime Minister Han is like this, and the officials are like this too." Yuan Weichang said with a smile.

"The child still doesn't understand."

Yuan Wenshao felt that the officialdom was too complicated, and he even had the urge to resign.

But after thinking about it, he still restrained himself. The title only determines the status of the family, and the position is the expression of the status.

Besides, his current title is not hereditary, so he has to get a hereditary title in order to enjoy life with peace of mind.

"Some things have to be understood slowly by yourself. Even if others tell you, you still don't understand the same thing next time you encounter it." Yuan Weichang said with deep meaning.

Yuan Wenshao always felt that his father was playing tricks, but since Yuan Weichang didn't want to say anything, he didn't bother to ask any more.

"Dad, I have to go to the Kaifeng government office to pick up Ba Lang." Yuan Wenshao said.

"Yes." Yuan Weichang nodded without objection.

Yuan Wenshao stopped the carriage, got off the carriage, took the horse held by Zhang An, and rushed to the Kaifeng government office.

When he arrived, Liu Lei and the servants of the Sun family were already waiting at the gate of the government office.

"Liu Lang, I envy you because you don't have to go to court every day." Yuan Wenshao said.

"You envy me, and I envy you. I am just the deputy commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and you are not only knighted, but also in charge of the Heroic Guard." Liu Lei said angrily.

Yuan Wenshao also knew that what he said was a bit Versailles, but he really didn't want to go to court and got up before dawn every day. Summer was okay, but this winter was too torturous.

"By the way, when are you going to report to the Wucheng Bingma Division?" Yuan Wenshao asked.

"It's almost here, it's only a few days." Liu Lei said with a smile.

"I will be under your jurisdiction from now on, so you have to take more care of me." Yuan Wenshao said.

The Wucheng Bingma Division is not a single yamen, but five, divided into southeast, northwest, and middle.

Among them, the four yamen in the southeast and northwest are in charge of the four areas of the outer city, while the Military and Horse Department in the middle city is in charge of the inner city and is also the most powerful of the five yamen.

Liu Lei went to the Zhongcheng Military and Horse Department as the deputy commander, starting from the fifth rank.

"Haha, it's easy to talk. Which one of us will follow the other?" Liu Lei agreed with a smile.

The two waited for about half an hour at the gate of the Kaifeng government office, and Sun Hao was released.

Except for some mental problems, Sun Hao had no problems in other aspects.

"Balang, I booked a box in Fanlou, and I'll cleanse you up, let's go!"

After chatting for a while, Yuan Wenshao spoke.

Sun Hao was still thinking about Guangyuntai, but he was in jail last night and didn't sleep well, so he didn't mention it.

The three of them ate a meal in Fan Lou, drank some shochu, and separated.

As soon as Yuan Wenshao arrived home, Erniu came up to him and said, "Second Young Master, I told you to go directly to the front hall when you come back."

"But what guests came to the house?" Yuan Wenshao asked doubtfully.

"Back to the second son, the eldest lady of the Kang family came to visit the eldest lady, and the eldest lady left her to eat at the house at noon." Er Niu said.

"Ms. Kang's family?"

Yuan Wenshao was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that this is not Aunt Kang, right?

This woman has caused troubles for Gu Er a lot, so she's going to get her idea on me now, right?
Yuan Wenshao entered the house with doubts.
