Chapter 427: The Old Fox's Wisdom
On the way back to Shangshufu. Li Zhen has always been listless.
In my mind, I was circling about being transferred out of Guangzhou.
After entering the Shangshu Mansion, Li Zhencai put away his emotions and had a faint smile on his face.
This is the first time he has come to Guiliang's mansion, and Li Zhen followed Qi Shan into Beijing in the past and has been living in the post house. Even though Li Zhen and Zhilan were playing outside when they were dating, Li Zhen never had contact with Gui Liang. This time he returned to Beijing with Zhilan, and Li Zhencai saw Guiliang's residence.
Shangshu Mansion is not luxurious, but it is spacious and simple, revealing an atmosphere.
Li Zhen entered the mansion, and Gui Liang came out to greet Dafujin and his two sons.
In the hall, everyone took their seats.
Gui Liang and Da Fu Jin sat directly above, and below was a large family. The family got together to chat, and it was lively. Li Zhen is only in his early twenties now, and he is already a feudal official of the imperial court, and his power is not much worse than Gui Liang, so Gui Liang's two sons did not give birth to the arrogance of the sons of heaven, but there was a closeness in their tone, and they talked with Li Zhen very happily.
After talking in the hall for about ten minutes, Gui Liang was already impatient.
Gui Liang got up and said, "Hongyi, go to the study with the old man." ”
After finishing speaking, Gui Liang was already walking towards the study with his hands behind his back, taking figure-eight steps.
Li Zhen greeted everyone and left, and left with Gui Liang.
Dafu Jin said: "The son-in-law just came, and before he finished speaking, he took him to the study to talk about it, how can there be so many national affairs, and he is worried about it." Da Fu Jin also shook his head, got up and walked towards the backyard.
Gui Liang's two sons left with their families and went their own way.
In the study, Li Zhen and Gui Liang sat down.
Gui Liang asked solemnly, "Hongyi, what did the emperor say to you?" ”
Li Zhen's expression was neither humble nor arrogant, his demeanor was decent, and he said without arrogance or impatience: "The emperor praised me, and then asked about the matter in Guangzhou, and the rest didn't say anything. ”
Gui Liang frowned and said, "The emperor really didn't say anything?" ”
Li Zhen nodded and said firmly: "The emperor really didn't say anything, only mentioned a little about me in Guangzhou, which is still a superficial taste." When I left the Heart Cultivation Palace, Gonggong Han chased after me and asked me to prepare to lead the troops. I asked about it, and learned that bandits were rampant, and my father-in-law predicted that I might lead troops to suppress bandits, but I don't know what my father-in-law thinks? ”
As the central minister of the court, Gui Liang can stand tall, not only because of his relationship and background, but also because of his own wisdom. Li Zhen became Gui Liang's son-in-law, and he was also very promising, and Gui Liang had no reason not to help Li Zhen. For this reason, Li Zhen asked unceremoniously.
He just asked questions, and said that it was Gui Liang's business.
After Gui Liang heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Gonggong Han told you quietly, but to some extent, he represents the emperor. He dares to say this, which proves that it is a sure thing for you to lead the troops to the battle, which is a good thing, and it shows that the emperor still values you. With the support of me and Yi 60 in the DPRK, you will definitely be able to rise to the top and become the pillar of the military. ”
Li Zhen frowned and said, "I'm not worried about marching and fighting, but ......"
Gui Liang immediately interjected and asked, "What else are you worried about?" ”
Li Zhen took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Father-in-law, I have paid a lot in Guangzhou. After half a year, Guangzhou has developed and become more and more prosperous. Subsequently, Guangdong will also begin to take off. I didn't want to leave at this critical time. As long as I stay for another three or five years, Guangdong will definitely become the most prosperous and wealthy province, and I will be able to have a complete resume. When the time comes, I will be older, and I will have to pay attention to it, so that I can lay a solid foundation for entering the center. ”
After Gui Liang heard this, he nodded frequently: "What you said makes sense, Guangzhou has made political achievements, but you have been transferred, it is indeed a bad thing, it is easy to be picked up." ”
Li Zhen said: "Is there any way for my father-in-law to let me continue to stay in Guangzhou? ”
Gui Liang said: "Go with the flow and do nothing. ”
"Ah, let it be?"
After Li Zhen heard this, he immediately wondered.
If he was transferred by Xianfeng and other officials went to Guangzhou to pick peaches, wouldn't he have died? Do you want to send people to intercept and kill them halfway, or find someone to rob the officials who went to Guangzhou? Li Zhen's heart was in turmoil, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that Gui Liang could not be untargeted. He had already made his intentions clear, and it was impossible for Gui Liang not to understand it.
Li Zhen calmed down and said, "Father-in-law, how can it be regarded as going with the flow?" ”
Gui Liang saw that Li Zhen quickly calmed down, a smile hooked up at the corner of his mouth, and he nodded secretly.
He took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly: "Guangzhou has begun to develop, whether it is now or in the future, it is inevitable that there will be foreigners and Japanese criminals, and whoever takes over Guangzhou may be affected." The princes of the court, except for you who can suppress the scene, who dares to confront the foreigners? Who would dare to lead an army to attack the Japanese Invaders? ”
Gui Liang said confidently: "If the foreigners don't become extinct for a day, and the Japanese don't be exterminated for a day, the emperor won't transfer you away, so you don't have to worry about it at all, just let it be." Even if the emperor asks you to lead troops to fight, he will only lead troops from Guangzhou to the north, and will not deprive you of your rights in Guangdong. Not only that, but the emperor will also reward greater rights, you are destined to be honored! ”
After Li Zhen heard this, he nodded again and again.
After Gui Liang's reminder, Li Zhen also thought of the key, and with Gui Liang's suggestion, Li Zhen had a plan. Even if Xianfeng really unexpectedly removed him from his official position, Li Zhen could also use foreigners and little devils to make a fuss and drive away the officials who went to Guangzhou to take office.
Li Zhen knew it in his heart, and a smile immediately appeared on his face.
The haze that shrouded my heart dissipated.
Gui Liang smiled and said, "You have already received the news of preparing to go on the expedition, go and prepare well." However, I estimate that in the next month or two, I will not send troops for the time being, so I will accompany Zhilan well. ”
Li Zhen said goodbye and left, and came to the courtyard where Zhilan lived.
The courtyard where Zhilan lived was clean, Li Zhen looked at the grass and trees in the yard, and was quite happy in his heart, after all, this is the place where Zhilan once lived.
The two of them sat in the courtyard and whispered something very sweet.
"Step! Trample!! ”
Outside the courtyard, there was a sound of footsteps, and the housekeeper of the house came. The old housekeeper walked into the courtyard, looked at Zhilan and Li Zhen, and said respectfully: "Uncle, the fourteenth young man from the Duanjun Wangfu sent someone to deliver a message, saying that you are returning to Beijing, and he will set up a banquet for you to catch the wind and wash the dust." The time is set for tomorrow at noon, and the venue will be at the 'Natural Residence'. ”
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, you go and tell the messenger that I will go to the banquet on time tomorrow." ”
After the old housekeeper left, Yang Banhou walked in again.
Yang Banhou said: "Dashuai, the old father is still in the Duanjun Palace, I want to go to see my father, please ask the Dashuai for approval." ”
Li Zhen said: "When I took you back to Beijing, my plan was to let you go back to Beijing to reunite with Yang's seniors. Now that the opportunity is in front of you, what is there to hesitate about. Go ahead and get together with Yang seniors. ”
Yang Banhou thanked him, turned around and left quickly.
