Three hundred and fiftieth chapters pit nephew
Tong Tuchang sat down at the bottom and looked at the uncle who was smiling with his beard twisted, and he secretly cried in his heart. He and this uncle were desperate for more than ten years, and it can be said that his relationship is as close as a father and son. When this uncle was lying, he had this kind of virtue, and he looked at you with a lewd look.
Tong Tuchang thought it would be better to leave early. Thinking of this, he stood up and said, "Uncle, I'll go back if I have nothing to do. Prefect Yu is waiting for me to discuss the matter in Nancheng!"
Tong Yangjia smiled and said, "Chang'er, sit down! Uncle has something good to tell you!"
Good thing? Uncle, what good thing can you do if you smile so sly!
But I didn't dare to ignore my uncle's words, so Tong Tuchang had to sit down again and listen to what bad things did Tong Yangjia have to do.
Tong Yangjia took a sip of tea and said, "Chang'er, you are a fifth-rank Tongzhi now!"
"Yes, thank you for your uncle's blessing, I will take on the position of Tongzhi in March!"
"Okay, Chang'er, do you want to take the lead?"
Nonsense, who doesn’t want to be promoted? When Tong Tuchang heard his uncle say this, he felt a little angry. It’s better for his uncle. He had just been promoted to Tongzhi in Guangzhou for a few months and wanted to be promoted to his official position.
"My nephew thanked him for his uncle, but his nephew was promoted as soon as he arrived in Guangzhou. I'm afraid the rumors in the court are... "
Tong Yangjia waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about other things. His Majesty the Emperor has agreed that as long as you do something, you will be promoted to magistrate when you come back. This is a fourth-rank high-ranking official, and you can wear a red robe!"
Tong Tuchang was overjoyed when he heard this. He was the fourth-rank prefect. He originally thought it was impossible to get to the fourth-rank for less than five or six years. Unexpectedly, his uncle was very powerful. In just a few months, he got a fourth-rank red robe for himself.
Tong Tuchang cried with joy, knelt down and saluted Tong Yangjia, crying: "Thank you, my nephew, for my cultivation. I thank my uncle for my dead father and mother for my unemployed father and mother!"
When Tong Tuchang mentioned his unlucky elder brother and sister-in-law, Tong Tuchang felt depressed and sighed and said, "Chang'er, you, my uncle and nephew escaped from the road back then. You and I have been dependent on each other for more than ten years. I have always regarded you as my biological son. I won't help you whom I will help you!"
Tong Yangjia talked about the sad uncle and nephew who hugged his head and cried bitterly.
After crying for a long time, Tong Tuchang remembered that the emperor had something to arrange for him. After painting tears, he asked, "Uncle, didn't you say that the emperor had something to tell me? What's the matter!"
Tong Tuchang thought it was just a matter of mining or military farming, and nothing was wrong. Tong Tuchang still had the ability and he was confident in completing the tasks assigned by the emperor.
Tong Yangjia also applied tears, yes, there is still something important to do!
"Chang'er, the emperor wants you to go to Fujian once!"
Tong Tuchang didn't hear clearly, go to Fujian? Isn't Fujian the territory of the Qing Dynasty?
"What? Uncle, I didn't hear it clearly?"
Tong Yangjia said word by word: "Go to Fujian! Encourage Li Chengdong to surrender!"
This time Tong Tuchang heard it clearly. After hearing this, he knelt down for Tong Yangjia without saying a word and shouted: "Uncle, you just said that you were like father and son with your nephew. Are you just cheating on your son?"
Tong Yangjia also knew that the task was a bit arduous and said, "Chang'er, listen to me!"
"Uncle, I know that you have a new son. Your nephew is not as good as your son's relatives. In the future, you don't want your nephew. Please let my nephew go for the sake of my dead grandfather and parents!"
The more Tong Yangjia listened, the less he became. Tong Tuchang said everything he said.
"A bastard, what are you talking about? You are my nephew. Can I push you down from the fire pit?"
"Uncle, how much difference is this from the fire pit? Yes, this is even worse than the fire pit. This is Daoshan!"
Tong Yangjia was so angry that he was so angry that he called his family.
"Tong Fu, go and ask for family law!"
Tong Fu saw the uncle and nephew making a big fuss, and he heard the master say so, but he didn't dare not go and take it. In a while, Tong Fu brought the three-foot family method.
Tong Yangjia held a three-foot-long stick and pointed at Tong Tuchang and said, "Bastard, sit down quickly, or I will beat you to death today!"
Seeing that his uncle was serious, Tong Tuchang didn't dare to act like a scoundrel, so he quickly closed his voice and sat down again.
Seeing that Tong Tuchang stopped crying, Tong Yangjia calmed down and said earnestly: "Chang'er, Uncle has no choice! Qian Qianyi contacted Jin Shenghuan from Jiangxi. It is very likely that this year will come. If this matter is done, Qian Qianyi will definitely enter the cabinet. But you know that the cabinet is full, and if there is a superior, you must have a subordinate. Uncle, I am the least powerful in the cabinet. If you don't do it well, you will be overthrown by Qian Qianyi. You are also an official. Do you know what the result will be if your uncle comes down!"
Tong Tuchang is also a fifth-rank magistrate. As an intermediate official, of course he knows some dirty things in the court. His uncle was bad, and the rest of the cabinet made him offend him. If Qian Qianyi really defeated him, the result would definitely not be good. That guy Ma Mingyuan would not help him in time. He would send him shit in time and even give him shit in time!
"Uncle, but what does this have to do with Li Chengdong from Fujian!"
"Silly kid, Qian Qianyi can contact Jin Shenghuan anyway. If we contact Li Chengdong anyway, the credit will be much greater than Qian Qianyi. Wouldn't our status be solid?"
"But uncle, isn't it all over to find a messenger to deliver a message in Fujian? Why do you have to ask your nephew to go there!"
Tong Yangjia sighed and said, "Chang'er, our Tong family looks prosperous, but think about how many people really join our Tong family? In addition to Gong Dacheng, Liu Dalin, there are also the prefect of Qiongzhou Prefecture Lu Shiyuan and the others? The others are just a few small fish, which is not a good weather! Such things must be done by trusted people. Who do you think your uncle doesn't arrange for you? Who can you trust?"
This is because Tong Yangjia is so bad that everything is perfect. In addition, he is a scholar, and he really doesn’t have much prestige among scholars. Those who come to join him are all unsatisfactory fish and shrimps.
Tong Tuchang also knew what his uncle was doing. What his uncle said just now was right, but it was really difficult to let him die!
"Uncle, then Li Chengdong just killed the queen and snatched Princess Yuyang. Now he will go and persuade him to surrender. This is simply an impossible task!"
"Chang'er, only if you can't do it, the emperor can reuse you. Think about it, you have no fame and fortune, the fifth grade is already at its peak, and it is not easy for the uncle to speak of if he doesn't have any credit for his success. After all, there is Ma Mingyuan, a messenger in the court!"
Tong Tuchang lowered his head and thought about it. This is a fact. He is not a scholar. If he had no uncle's help, he would not have been a fifth-rank Tongzhi, even an eighth-rank county magistrate would not have been able to become a fifth-rank county magistrate.
Tong Tuchang gritted his teeth, it's better to be rich and powerful. If this matter is really done, the fourth-rank prefect will be a senior official. If he goes up, he will be a governor and minister. If he wants to be an official, he will not be able to make any contributions to his actions!
After making up his mind, Tong Tuchang said, "Uncle, I can go, but I won't go alone. You have to arrange personnel for me!"
After hearing his nephew's agreement, Tong Yangjia was overjoyed and quickly said, "Chang'er, the manpower has been arranged for you long ago. Qian Lide, the Jinyiwei, agreed to send you four hundred Jinyiwei, all of which will be assigned by you!"
When Tong Tuchang heard this, it was not bad. At least four hundred people could protect themselves from running away.
"Okay, uncle, tell me about Fujian, and where should I start with?"
"Chang'er, Jinyi Guard secretly reported that Princess Yuyang has married Li Yuanyin, Li Chengdong's son. You have to start with Princess Yuyang, first contact Li Yuanyin, and then act according to the opportunity and contact Li Chengdong, do you know?"
Tong Tuchang nodded and asked, "Uncle, how can Li Chengdong agree to such a major rebellion? What if he doesn't agree?"
"It depends on your methods. The governor of Fujian in the Qing Dynasty was Tong Guonai, the nephew of Tong Yangxing. Go and see if you can create a crack between Tong Guonai and Li Chengdong. If you can do it, you can kill Tong Guonai and avenge your grandfather, parents, uncles and brothers first!"
When Tong Tuchang heard that the governor of Fujian was Tong Guonai, his eyes turned red. If it weren't for Tong Yangxing's defection, could he and his uncle go into exile? Could his grandfather and his parents die?
"Uncle, don't worry, even if Li Chengdong doesn't succeed anyway, I will kill Tong Guonai and avenge our family's death!"
Tong Yangjia shook his head and said, "No, your first priority is to ensure your safety. Don't care about anything else when there is a threat. You must come back safely! Now we are the only two of us in our family!" Tong Yangjia and Tong Tuchang have been desperate for more than ten years, and they have a deep relationship. They are really like father and son. What Tong Yangjia said is completely heartfelt.
Seeing Tong Yangjia's feelings reveal, Tong Tuchang was also moved and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely get this done!"
Tong Yangjia patted Tong Tuchang on the shoulder. "Chang'er, if the Fujian affairs are done, the emperor will be able to counterattack Nanjing immediately. At that time, you will be the first achievement, so you must come back alive!"
Tong Tuchang is still an intermediate official and doesn’t know much about the senior management. He heard Tong Yangjia say this and quickly asked: “Uncle, do we have the strength to counterattack Nanjing?”
Tong Tuchang nodded and said, "The emperor didn't say it, but your uncle was in charge of the Ministry of War. He guessed from the transfer of troops and equipment. In the past six months, the emperor prepared a large amount of weapons and gunpowder, and all of them were transported to Ganzhou, Chaozhou and Zhoushan in Nanzhili to stock up. The food was enough for 200,000 people to eat for half a year. Why did you say that the emperor was not going to counterattack Nanjing and prepare so much food for?"
Tong Tuchang was overjoyed when he heard this. If the emperor occupied Nanjing, he would have drew a river with the Qing Dynasty. At that time, he would have a large territory and he could take the lead with his contributions to Fujian. Thinking of this, Tong Tuchang became more and more determined to become prosperous and achieve success.
"Chang'er, go back and prepare, and go north with the Jinyiwei in three days!"
Tong Tuchang nodded and said he knew, but he was still sitting there with something to say.
Tong Yangjia asked, "Chang'er, do you have anything to do?"
"Uncle, if I succeed, can you win me over in front of the emperor? The prefect is a little small. Can you get a governor or something?"
When Tong Yangjia heard this, he laughed and scolded: "You bastard, let's do it well. If the emperor succeeds in counterattacking, let alone the governor, you may be the governor!"
After hearing what his uncle said, Tong Tuchang was overjoyed and went home to prepare for his trip to Fujian.
