605
On this day, when night fell, Xiao Ming came back from town. As soon as she got off the carriage, she saw a figure standing outside the gate.
Jiang Xiangyuan, who then got off the carriage, was overjoyed, "It's Yifeng who's back. It's great." After that, she took her two junior sisters to the Yi family in the yard next door. They had never been to the capital, so they asked Liu Yu to bring them some supplies from the capital. After more than half a year away, the fun objects in the house came back, and they were finally back.
In the evening, a group of people sat around the yard, not feeling cold. They all listened intently to Liu Yu's experience of the capital's trip. They were all curious about the capital, describing in their minds what the capital was like, and from time to time. He pulled Liu Yu to ask questions, it was so lively.
The eldest Wang family, Ming Shen and Wang family were sitting together, chatting from time to time, their eyes eagerly and excitedly staring at their daughter who was surrounded by the crowd.
Where is the capital! It took more than two months to travel by carriage and boat.
How far is this?
The emperor lived there.
What a sacred and distant place, a place that people yearn for, a place that she had never dared to imagine in her life, but she didn't expect that it would come true when her daughter was born.
Look at the fabric her daughter brought back for her. She had never seen it in her life. She was reluctant to touch it for fear of damaging it.
The thought of Da Wang and You Rongyan makes me excited. Among the capable people in the village, who has ever been to the capital? Her girl went there and stayed in the capital for a few months.
Look at you who have lived for most of your life, you can't go as far as a little girl.
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but stare in the direction of the study. She had a keen eye for talents and chose a good son-in-law for her daughter.
In the study, Xiao Ming sat on a chair, and the sounds of play in the courtyard could be heard endlessly. What she focused on was the transcript that Yi Feng handed back.
There are two houses in the capital, one large and one small, two shops in the north and south, and three farms each outside the city. The 100,000 taels of silver I brought with me were used to buy these seven houses.
As expected, living in the capital is difficult and the prices are high. Fortunately, except for the shops, every other location occupies a large area, so the one hundred thousand taels of property purchase money can be considered well spent.
Now Ming Sheng stays in the capital as usual to take care of the property, decorate the shop, repair the house, and arrange the land.
Yi Feng stood aside and saw Xiao Ming reading all the deeds before telling Xiao Ming what he had seen and heard in the capital. The capital in his mouth was very different from what Liu Yu saw. There were no famous buildings in the capital. The temple does not contain the precious and rare items of the capital, but only the important events that have happened in the capital in recent times, the changes in the situation in the court, and the intricate and intricate relationships between various famous families and famous merchants.
The focus of this is the Liu family.
Liu Ce, who was over forty-five years old, was the first-rank imperial tutor of the dynasty and the chief minister of the cabinet. He was in charge of all the affairs of the dynasty. He could be said to have a high position of power, and he was under one person.
When the fifth prince was pregnant and forced to go to the palace, Liu Ce was able to gain momentum due to the power of the dragon. Later, he sent a daughter to the palace to give birth to the prince, and he became more and more favored. With him, as a royal relative, he gradually entered the center of power in the court. In recent years, due to the long-term illness of the emperor, who was even critically ill, the government had to be handed over to the cabinet assistant. Liu Ce was promoted to the chief minister of the cabinet in just a few years because of Lady Liu in the palace, and seized the power. Secure in the palm of your hand.
It can be said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. Due to the strong rise of the Liu family, all the relatives of the Liu family have become capable people and entered official careers, and have become famous.
Among them was his son-in-law Liu Jiashan, Mr. Wu's former beloved disciple. He carefully trained him to become an official in high school. Unexpectedly, Liu Jiashan was ungrateful and married Liu Ce and Li's daughter, and entered the door of Prime Minister Liu. Ce was promoted to the Imperial College, forcing Mr. Wu to resign and return home. When he left, Liu Jiashan was only an official of the sixth rank of the Imperial College. Four years later, Liu Jiashan has been promoted to the official position of the fourth rank of the Imperial College. .
It really is a leap-forward growth in life.
Not only the Liu clan, but also Liu Ce's disciples are all over the government and the public, and he has many capable advisers in his mansion to advise him. These people will be sent out by Liu Ce to serve as officials when opportunities arise. Of course, These people will also pass the official imperial examination. After high school, they will start from the lowest rank of ninth-rank officials and climb up step by step.
He is also a person who loves talents. He will travel thousands of miles to visit famous people personally, and even invite them to become officials in the court. Therefore, Liu Ce recommended many capable people to the Dayue Dynasty, and they were quite famous among the government and the public.
Seeing this, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sneer. With Liu Ce's protective umbrella, even a fool can get the top prize, and even a ninth-grade sesame official will soar smoothly.
Liu Ce had two sons and three daughters in his life. The eldest son died early, leaving only one son. The second son was the number one scholar fifteen years ago. Now he followed his father's path and entered the Hanlin Academy as a fifth-rank Hanlin bachelor.
If you don't enter the Imperial Academy, you won't enter the cabinet. The Imperial Academy is the only way to enter the cabinet.
His eldest daughter married Zhu Zi, Marquis of Yong'an, a noble family, and his second daughter reconciled, and later Liu Ce took the initiative to marry Liu Jiashan, a scholar from a poor family. The youngest daughter was Concubine Liu who entered the palace and raised the emperor's only son, the second prince.
Because of the eldest prince, the queen had been in bed for many years and was mentally depressed. She had been staying in seclusion. Therefore, all affairs in the harem were taken care of by Concubine Liu, who had a son.
It can be seen that the Liu family has unattainable power.
Due to the rush of time and the fact that he could not be too conspicuous, Yi Feng only grasped the tip of the iceberg of the situation in the capital, and he did not dare to dig deeper into the secrets of the wealthy family buried deep in the depths.
But these did not prevent Xiao Ming from understanding that on the other side, Jiang Sihai's escort agency also kept records without leaving any trace.
Of course, Yi Feng has not forgotten what happened to the Shi family. Today, only the old marquis and a widowed second young wife are left in the Shi family. Xiao Ming can't help but sigh. The family of a generation of famous generals has dedicated their lives to generations. He went to the frontier, but ended up with such a miserable ending.
She also felt sorry for Shi Tingyu, who had to wear a battle array at the age of sixteen. In modern times, this was just an age worthy of high school. It took a lot of courage to carry a mission on the battlefield and face life and death.
One step forward is life, one step back is dusk.
Therefore, she somewhat understood Shi Tingyu's ubiquitous low mood and age-biased maturity. It turned out that these were qualities that could only be developed after experiencing life and death.
He and she both had a lonely childhood.
Fortunately, she is no longer lonely now, and hopefully he is no longer lonely either.
As the patron saint of the Dayue Dynasty, the Shi family has sacrificed too much. He hopes that this time it will be what he thought, and it can bring peace to the Dayue Dynasty for a hundred years.
After reading this, when they calmed down a little, they talked about the fool who was thrown into the capital by Xiao Ming.
