Chapter 104 Houmen is as deep as the sea(1/2)
After a vivid and profound education class, Wu was about to leave.
Although the eldest son Song Xian had the desire to retire, being forced to retire and voluntarily retire are two different things.
She wanted to prepare more things and send them to her old son with Song Yan's letters to comfort her...
However, after Jia Cong explained his purpose, Wu refused to leave again.
He looked at Jia Cong dumbfoundedly, not knowing what to say at all.
I just thought that the Marquis's door was as deep as the sea.
Even Song Yan was caught off guard and frowned and said, "Why did it reach this point? Are you still worried about the lives of Ru Gaotang?"
Jia Cong shook his head and said, "The disciple was arranged by Brother Zhen of Dongfu to explain and clarify the matters in each family, but I don't know the details yet.
However, after the incident, the disciple asked the old doctor from Tongjitang to treat him in time. Although the master and wife were a little dangerous, they thought they would not have any worries about their lives for the time being."
Hearing his tone was plain, even his biological father's life and death were like a passerby, Song Yan could only sigh inwardly.
How much kindness is the wealthy family.
However, he didn't think it was Jia Cong's fault, he just blamed the Jia family for being too flimsy.
At this time, he actually tried to eliminate the disaster and did not let Jia Cong serve his parents.
Thinking of this, Song Yan frowned again and said, "Your position as the prince..."
After Jia Cong explained the story, Song Yan nodded slowly and said, "If you keep your mind and morality, you will naturally not do anything to seize the title. Besides, there are still teachers and Mr. Yu Min behind you..."
He frowned again and said, "Although the Jia family is now only a clan's title, not a relative of nobles, and does not command the army.
Even if you have a title, you will not delay the journey to the imperial examination.
But……
When I enter the cabinet in the future, I am afraid I will suffer some obstacles.
After all, it is the foundation of Wu Xun.
I am afraid that I can only rotate in the Ministry of War in the future, and I will be the Grand Sima..."
Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said, "My teacher, my disciple is only twelve years old this year, and he doesn't even have a reputation as a Juren."
Entering the cabinet? Are you thinking too far...?”
Song Yan frowned and said, "With your character, talent and diligence, the road to imperial examinations is difficult, but not difficult for you.
Why don’t you dare to think about it?
Now it seems that your title may not be a blessing...
During the peaceful season, even if you are a relative and noble, your status is more valuable and your real power is limited.
You, the title of your relative, only has a false reputation, which is very boring.
Unless you join the army and fight.
Although the Jia family has been silent for many years, they still have a strong foundation in the army.
The Jia family has two family members and two men, and the remaining wealth is rich.
If you advance, it will be smooth.
But, it's a pity after all.
Be a military official alone…”
Song Yan shook his head.
Military generals who simply lead troops usually do not even have the qualifications to go to court.
Even if there is a bonus for martial arts, the real power is still limited.
Compared with the cabinet ministers who hold the world's authority, it is too far apart.
Wu saw it and said, "What's so great about the cabinet ministers? Ge Zhicheng, Sun Jingxuan, and Chen Xiyan are all major scholars of the current dynasty and cabinet masters.
But they are cowardly now and don’t even dare to say anything more.
The court struggle was so serious that it was often moved to officials and exiled.
Ning Zechen is so powerful, why don’t he dare to touch the Jia family directly?
If I want to say, Sehun is better. Not to mention the wealth of generations, as long as you are more careful in your words and actions, even the Tian family will give you a little decent. Who dares to act lightly?
It's not as dangerous as being a civil servant."
Song Yan shook his head and said, "Ge Zhicheng and the others have all been glorious... Ning Zechen is not afraid to touch the Jia family, but he is now clearing the land in the world, and selling acres to earn acres, and integrating the new method of paying grain.
The new law has offended most of the local giants, gentry and scholars. If the nobles are punished again, the pressure will be even greater.
The Jia family is now indifferent to the world in terms of official positions, power and wealth, and is protected by the second Duke of Rongning. The Supreme Emperor just celebrated the century-old birthday of Xianrong Kingdom.
Anyone who dares to touch the Jia family at this time will cause a rebound in the entire noble system.
It's not easy to move for the time being..."
At this point, Song Yan's expression moved slightly and he thoughtfully said: "It is not entirely a bad thing for Qing ministers to have such a title as a base."
At least, after I retire, no one dares to oppress you.
Even Ning Zechen must think about it...
It is a temporary means of self-protection."
Upon hearing this, Jia Cong immediately widened his eyes and said, "Sir, are you going to retire too?"
Song Yan waved his hand and said, "I am close to the age of being a slaughter. Are you still in love with me? If I am a new law today, I am still tolerant of our old ministers, but...
You must have self-knowledge.
Moreover, it has been nearly a hundred years since the nomination of the Emperor's List.
He also left the countryside for several years.
I still remember the kindness of my parents' sincere advice when I left home and went to Beijing to take the exam.
The local accent has not changed, and the hair is weak, so it is time to go back..."
"gentlemen……"
After hearing what Song Yan said, Jia Cong called out worriedly.
Song Hua and Wu were also concerned about it.
Song Yan smiled silently and said to Jia Cong: "You still need to worry about your teacher's state of mind? Well, I'm fine. This time I retreat, so I can return to my hometown, take care of my body, and watch the ups and downs of the new policy.
Secondly…”
At this point, Song Yan's face gradually became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Ning Zechen's actions are cruel and stubborn and domineering."
Although he expected that this person would not have a good end, he was unwilling to fight with him any more.
Qingchen, do you know why?"
Jia Cong thought for a while, lowered his eyes and said, "Sir, I think Ning Zechen can think of things that he can think of.
But he still bet on the whole family's wealth and life, and what he did was not himself, but for Daqian.
The gentleman disagrees with his actions, but respects his heart.
I don't want to fight against it with personal grudges."
When Song Yan heard this, he was relieved and said, "The high qualifications of the Qing ministers are actually the only ones I have seen in my life.
Not bad, that's exactly that.
This person is a great man with a beautiful and talented strategy, which is a pity...
Forget it, it's too early to say this.
The new party is now in full swing, and the Ning family is also cooking oil with fire, and the palace is rewarded endlessly...
But the more this is, the more disaster it is!
The most unsustainable person in the world is the holy family..."
When Jia Cong heard this, he nodded slowly, but Song Yan couldn't know what to think about in his heart.
Even if you have all kinds of righteousness, it is not the reason to deceive me and insult me...
Seeing Jia Cong so solemn, Song Yan smiled and said, "Don't think too much, you know these things too early now.
It's getting late, so it's not convenient for you to stay outside for more. After taking the people from Jiumeiyuan, you'll go home to serve your parents."
...
Xingdaofang, Ningxiangfu.
In the small study, Ning looked at his sister's angry eyes and said with a headache: "Good sister, I have said a hundred times. I moved Song to Qiongzhou first, not to take revenge on anyone.
What a person, Master Dad, how could he act like this?"
Ning Yuyao was not willing to believe it, and said angrily: "Brother, don't think I'm a girl in the boudoir, so I'm just ignorant.
To be continued...
