Chapter 89: Acceptance

The emperor asked Sushun and Shankui to get close to each other, but Sushun didn't know the details, but the emperor's words naturally had a profound meaning. Since he could not be slandered, he could only do it according to the order.

From Rehe, to Guangrenling, cross Sanchakou, pass Shuangtashan and reach Luanping. Walking forward, you will enter Gubeikou and reach the territory of the capital. The road to rest is this long way from Rehe to here.

It is a renovation. In fact, how can it be repaired in such a snowy season? Second, the emperor moved to the Rehe River last year, and the road had been renovated. What he did this time was just to lay the groundwork and clean it up to allow the Empress Dowager's coffin to pass.

Even so, Luanping County still tried his best. The eldest master of Luanping County was surnamed Song and a Jinshi in the 30th year of Daoguang. He was born in the third grade and could not be named a Shuji scholar. He was used as the magistrate here.

In the 11th year of Yongzheng's reign, Rehe Hall was changed to Chengdezhou. Luanping County was the first major county under the prefecture and the first county. The area was the Jingsui Channel, and the rush was complicated. There were more than 300 Yima horses alone. Therefore, although it was a first-class county, it was a shortage that was difficult to deal with.

Mr. Song was very young and didn't think it was bitter. In the second year of Xianfeng, the emperor decided to move to Rehe in May of the following year. This time, Mr. Song was really busy.

During the Daoguang period, the emperor never visited the palace. The dilapidated and desolate scenery had nothing to do with Master Song. However, when he was running around, he had to rely on Luanping County to manage his journey. That's all. There was also a palace in the north of Luanping County, which had been disrepair for a long time. These had to be reorganized, painted, and framed.

When the officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Works arrived in the county, they were arrogant and took the name of "Emperor's Discipline" to search for the big business. It is a very harassed thing about local affairs. If you have money and work hard, you should be freed up which house is good; if you have antique calligraphy and paintings, you should borrow decorations - they are all right and you will never be allowed to return the ticket.

Lord Song pleaded with all his complacent words and demanded his compassion and comforting the people and gentry. After a few months, he felt exhausted. He finally sent the imperial guards out of boundaries, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He was also sent to the imperial decree: The Empress Dowager passed away and repaired the roads and invited the Empress Dowager's coffin to return to the capital. He followed the roads along the way, and received the support and received the courtesy.

Lord Song had no choice but to prepare to come again. He invited the gentry from the county to the county government, gathered together to discuss, and everyone was whispering. It was obvious that he was still scared of what he encountered in the last year's imperial envoy. This kind of dissatisfaction and vigilance was only waiting for the county magistrate to make excessive requests, and he was afraid that he would immediately resist.

Master Song knew it well and hurriedly said in a comforting tone: "You don't have to worry that the coffin is just passing by, staying for one night. As for the officers and soldiers who are accompanying you, it is easy to deal with it. Moreover, the Tao has been repaired a year ago, and this time it is just a little prep and can be used. As for the conscience of each family to respect you, the Empress Dowager has the benefit of the people. I think the emperor is the emperor's sage for the sage and kindness of the Empress Dowager, and the people below will not be too disturbed."

These words were incoherent, but everyone felt relieved. The chief elders responded to everyone: "You can do this kind of misfortune and you must obey the order."

So the county was ready to come, waiting to receive the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Rites. When the person came, Mr. Song unexpectedly discovered that the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had changed their past arrogant and domineering nature, but instead were respectful and concise. He did not have any accommodation prepared by the county. He rested in the offices that the county worshipped as usual, and no longer acted like before. When discussing the matter with the county, he was even more polite. He seemed to be more knowledgeable than himself who was the best at learning a saint, and he had to learn to be well-educated, which made him a little confused.

After finding a free time, he asked Su Shun, the new head of the Ministry of Works, in a tactful manner: "Sir Su, why is this?"

Su Shun smiled and called him by the general name of the above and above the capital officials, "Master Song," he said: "Last year, the emperor re-condemned Zhao Shuangshan, the chief doctor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and Diao Qingyuan, the clerk of the Ministry of Works. Do you know?"

One sentence really makes me feel like I'm looking for a pearl. Mr. Song said with a long "Oh": "The officer of the Interior Department is afraid that the emperor will find a mistake in the work..." He regretted a little. Sushun had also worked as an errand for the Interior Department. In this way, he would definitely be hated by the people who were nearby by his mouth. For a moment, these people were still respecting the emperor's serious punishments and did not dare to do anything to him. What about the future? His eyes turned and he deliberately said slander: "If you have the chance in the future, you might as well talk to the people who are nearby."

Su Shun was also very alert, "I respect this, thank you, but I don't know," he rushed to answer, "I never like to pass messages behind people's backs. How many right and wrong will be caused by no reason will harm others and be useless to yourself, so why bother to come?"

Mr. Song was impressed by his expression and thought to himself: This person is indeed versatile and can rest assured. Since his psychological guard has been completely lifted, he has no scruples in his conversation and his interest has improved. Speaking of the greed of Zhao Shuangshan and others in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, he has many things copied from the residence. After listening to Sushun's explanation, Mr. Song was so happy that he didn't know what to do, but kept looking at the sky and bowing: "Heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the heavenly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earthly and the earth

Sushun and Mr. Song said perfunctorily, stood up and said goodbye. His mind was not on the last time when Dagong met the king, the emperor said something that he wanted him to get closer to "Shankui". After returning home, he said it to Long Rulin, but the other party was not sure about it. Only one ambiguous and inexplicable sentence, how could Long Rulin tell him the meaning?

On the way here, I had dated Shankui, but Shankui's temperament was like a dull person. He might not say a few words a day. It often asked questions and answers one by one, which made it difficult to guess thoroughly and even more difficult to get along with.

However, Su Shun was so smart, he didn't read much, but he had great ability to recognize people. In a few words, he fell in love with him and saw that Shan Kui probably lacked some experience in treating people and things. When he occasionally spoke, he often didn't think about it.

In other words, what he said never takes seriously. As a result, he will regard it as a daunting thing to communicate with others.

Shankui is exactly this. He was not born to Guarja. His biological mother died early. He Shitai felt sorry for his son's mother since he was a child. He knew very well what Xiaomin said, "There is a stepmother before there is a stepmother." So after Xu Xian married Guarja, he took care of his son in every way, and refused to let go easily, and placed it under his wings to care for him in various ways.

But He Shitai has a bad temper. Whenever Shankyu makes a mistake, he will get angry and beat his son heavily. Afterwards, he regrets it even more and more caring. This goes on and on until Shankyu gets married and has a son, he has been better off. Over the years, Shankyu has become such a temperament that only knows how to bow his head and do things, but doesn't know anything about treating people.

However, Shankui also has two strengths. The first is to hand over the things to him, and he can always do them properly. Therefore, he is a very helpful helper who is highly appreciated by Shangguan in official business; the second is to make him never quarrel with others, so that no one wants to have private contact with him.

Whenever he had a break, he would return to his mansion and sit alone to spend his days. I heard that Shan Kui had nothing to do, did not smoke, played cards, did not like gold and stone antiques, did not sing the wind and the moon, did not linger in the teahouse and the wine shop, and did not do anything to drink and drink. Therefore, he would never find him for the sake of the court's greed for Zhao Shuangshan and others.

"So what do he do on weekdays?"

"Do nothing." An official from the Interior Office said to Su Shun, "At first, everyone didn't know, but later when they found out, they joked with him and asked him if he had a male pet in the mansion? Shan Kui was so anxious that he blushed, but he just shook his head and said nothing. When everyone couldn't ask, they made an appointment to join and came to the door rashly. Only then did they know, guess what?"

"How about it?"

"Only when we arrived at his mansion, everyone realized that Lord Shan had something good. One was to clean the house, and the other was to personally put the stove and make soup for others."

"Ah?" Su Shun felt funny: "How could this happen?"

"Yes, you have never been to Lord Shan's mansion. It's really a clean window. Not only in the main hall, but also in the kitchen where the maids stayed at the stove are much cleaner than many people." The official and Su Shun said, "You didn't see that there was no oil or dirt in the kitchen, and the pot was washed like a brand new one. It can be seen that it can be seen."

"Where is his family?"

"It's not a family, and I don't go into the family. Shankui's wife is like him, but his son," said this, the official even more energetic. "It's really amazing. Her name is Chengxiang, but she is thirteen or fourteen years old, with a dignified appearance and a very good brain. She has lost all her child? (sound cancer) looks very adult. Whenever a guest comes, if he is not at home, he will be welcomed by him. In his words and deeds, he is not as timid and submissive as his father."

The man said, "Sunkui and his wife also regard this son as their hearts and souls. They are extremely respectful and extremely powerful."

Su Shun nodded and said, "Well, the young phoenix is ​​clearer than the old phoenix."

"That's what it said. Everyone said that even if Shankui had nothing to do, his son would never be taken lightly." He lowered his voice and said, "Everyone said that Chengxiang will have a great future in the future. Therefore, even if Shankui occasionally loses his integrity in his words, it is better not to blame too much for a long time."

After several replies, Su Shun knew it well. He felt sad for Shankui. He was in the world's best "profit" place like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he had to receive a meager salary. It is said among the people: Before the age of 30, his son respects his father, and after the age of 30. Hearing that Shankui did not respect his colleagues in official affairs, he was afraid that he would have no status at home?

With the profound predictions of Sushun, he was even more flattering when getting along with Shankui. In less than a few days, Shankui regarded him as a very close friend.

During the relationship, Su Shun discovered that Shan Kui was not as bad as many people say, but because his temperament was different from other people, he always said whatever he said, without taking into account the feelings of the listener at all. He offended people in his words and knew nothing about it. Over time, others no longer wanted to pay attention to him, which caused him to become increasingly silent.

During the conversation, Su Shun realized that Shankui was not careful about the details. Even when it comes to family affairs, he was not shy about it: "The last time he went back to Beijing to see the old lady, the old lady told me that the most feared thing among the royal family was the insecurity of the house. Once it was found out, it would be a laughing stock."

Sushun didn't know what he said, so he asked in confusion: "What's wrong with peace?"

"I heard from the old lady that the emperor is a little admired by the concubine of my husband. Lord Su, you said, what should we do if we are slaves encounter such a thing?"

Sushun suddenly realized that the old and the grandfather, Jin Jia, were beside the concubine, were thinking about the emperor's holy heart. He had heard his sister-in-law talk about it, but it was about the emperor. Fei Mo was vague and he did not understand it very seriously. This time, when he heard Shankui mention it, Sushun remembered the previous love and immediately understood why the emperor said such ambiguous words to himself.

Sharing the emperor's worries has always been the first priority for Su Shun to do it. Since the emperor intends to let himself solve this matter through Shankui, those who are slaves must do it properly and satisfy the emperor. Thinking of this, he said: "This matter is too worrying, isn't it? If the old lady is the emperor's elder, but there is no such a layer, will the emperor really do anything to the old lady? It's okay, it's okay."

Shankui also felt that Guarja's words to him were clearly a worry, but he was very confused and said whatever he thought of, "Brother Yuting's words are reasonable, but what if it is true?"

Su Shun's bright eyes flashed, "Brother Chengzu, you can respect me, I will talk to you about my friendship with you. Su is a few years older than Chengzu's brother, so I will take some words without any presumption."

"Of course, of course. I think Brother Yuting's words are all good things, and there is absolutely no intention to harm me."

Su Shun sighed in his heart. He really didn't like Shankui's tone of speaking like this, as if he was really meant to do evil. He also knew that he was so mean that he was not angry with him. He said, "Brother Chengzu, we are slaves, always serve the king sincerely. It is not a big deal to speak like you and have a heart to me in the dark room. If it is spread and falls into the ears of those who are interested, I will impeach you for a 'chaotic speech in the palace, and I will hang my best intentions'. Brother Chengzu, you are guilty of being guilty."

Shankui sat there blankly, stunned for a long time, and suddenly said, "Brother Yuting, Shankui has never been disrespectful to the emperor, and he has a vague intention of making a fool of himself."

"I know, I know." Su Shun said: "But, Brother Chengzu, you should pay attention when you speak."

"But, I don't have much interaction with people on weekdays, so I probably won't say anything to the ears of people next to me, right?"

Su Shun was furious and Shankui said this clearly, saying that if someone knew this, he must have spread it himself. How can such accusation be patient?

He was so angry that Sushun's tone became cold: "Brother Chengzu, please rest assured. If I intend to spread what I said today, how could I make such a heart-to-heart talk with you?"

"Oh, then I'll feel relieved."

When Su Shun heard that he was like this, he was no longer angry. Shankui was such a type of person who completely ignored the feelings of others. He was angry at him and his tone became cold, so he couldn't hear it at all. In short, he was a confused person.

It is hard to talk about such people - because after you have been wandering around for a long time, he will only understand it directly. It is better to express his feelings with him if you waste time and energy.

He said, "Brother Chengzu, I ask you, what do you want to do if what you said is true?"

Sure enough, Sun Kyu is a straightforward person, and the person he likes the other person the most is as straightforward as he is, "What should I do?"

"Just as you said just now, what do you think about the matter between the Emperor Yu is true?"

"Ah, what else can I do if I do this? He is the emperor. Can I still fight with the emperor?" Shankui's tone seemed to be complaining, but in fact it was not. "But if the emperor really wants to me, the concubine's mother, I don't believe it."

"Why?"

"You think? The emperor is rich all over the world, so how could he be interested in a new widow like my old lady?"

Sushun knew it and continued to ask, "What if the emperor really wants it?"

"I don't know. If that's the case, let the emperor issue an order. Anyway, I can only meet the leader's order."

Su Shun was shocked when she heard this, and there was no way to continue talking about it.

Until he met the spiritual driving in the Empress Dowager's Codon, he returned to the capital and held the spirit ceremony in the Zhengda Guangming Hall of the Old Summer Palace, Sushun returned to the Rehe Palace. After asking Sheng'an at the palace gate, he returned to his mansion and ordered someone to invite Long Rulin over.

Listening to Sushun’s experience of working in this business and dating Shankui, Long Rulin nodded and expressed his understanding, “Students’ footprints are all over the Yangtze River. In Sichuan and Shaanxi, I have heard people say that there is such a person who can be said to be a shiny person for a while with Shanchengzu.”

Su Shun frowned and asked, "Then, is there any good way for someone like him?"

"Of course there are some solutions, and there is no need to spend a lot of money on his lips and tongues." Long Rulin said, "I heard from the Lord that Shan Chengzu was very afraid of his inner self, but there are some?"

"You mean, let his wife come forward and persuade him to adapt?"

"No. On the contrary, Shankyu's wife must not know about this."

"why is that?"

"Women's family always feels panicked when they hear such things. Shankui is a coward again, so they have to discuss with others. After word of mouth, it is still the second thing to do if it is broken. If it is spread, it will hurt the emperor. Sir, you will be very guilty."

Sushun reminded Long Rulin and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes.? What my brother said is very yes. Then, how should we catch this matter?"

"There is no hurry now. The concubines of the left and right and the prince are also welcomed to the Empress Dowager's coffin and returned to the capital. Let's make a decision after the emperor returns to the palace."
