Poor Family Chapter 706

  Chapter 706 Unexpected Visitor

   People who can ride in a carriage are not ordinary people. Li Yanqing hurried out to greet him, only to see a young **** help out a person from the carriage. It was Liang Shicheng whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

  Although Li Yanqing was very reluctant to see this person now, he still stepped forward and bowed, "Teacher, long time no see."

  Liang Shicheng looked a lot thinner, his complexion was very bad, and his voice was very low, "I have been in the palace recently, I heard that Yanqing went to my house yesterday?"

   "Yes, I went to visit the Taifu yesterday, and said that the Taifu is in the palace."

  At this time, Li Daqi said from the side: "Yanqing, quickly invite the master to sit in the back room. The river wind is relatively strong here, don't catch cold."

  Li Daqi had a good impression of Liang Shicheng. At the beginning, Li Yan withheld the hundreds of thousands of rouge money he sold to the palace. It was thanks to Liang Shicheng that he wanted to come back. Li Daqi always remembered this incident.

   "Teacher, please!"

Liang Shicheng nodded, and followed Li Yanqing and his son into Baoyanzhai. He was no longer the powerful inner minister. Zhao Ji became increasingly dissatisfied with him, causing him to lose all power. He only manages clothes in the palace, no different from an ordinary old eunuch, and his figure has also been lowered a lot invisibly.

  Liang Shicheng stayed in the palace and did not come out. On the one hand, he wanted to hug Zhao Ji's thigh tightly as Gao Qiu said, but the more important reason was that he had lost all his power. He was afraid of his enemies coming, so he dared not live outside.

  Liang Shicheng sat down in the lobby, smiled at Li Daqi, and said, "The capital of Baoyan Zhai has moved to the south!"

  Li Daqi said cautiously: "It has not completely moved to the south, and it is still operating in the capital."

"In fact, everyone knows that if the Hangzhou palace is completed, the official family will also go south for the winter, and those who stay will be in response to the occasion. To tell the truth, my family has also moved south, and most of the property has been shipped to Suzhou. If the official My family is going south for the winter, and I'm afraid I will go with them too."

  Liang Shicheng sighed and said again: "Two months ago, I had an illness and my health has been bad. The imperial doctor repeatedly told me not to stay outside for a long time, so I said a few words to Yanqing and left."

  Li Daqi understood, and said with a smile: "Teacher, sit down for a while, I'll go and look at the account. I just came back, and things at home are a bit uneasy."

   "Li Yuanwai is free to do so."

  Li Daqi left, and only Liang Shicheng and Li Yanqing were left in the room. Liang Shicheng smiled slightly and said, "Yanqing should also serve as Tongzhi of Jingzhao now!"

Li Yanqing smiled, "I don't know what happened. I went to the Ministry of Officials to resign. I only resigned from the post in Taiyuan, and none of the posts in Jingzhao Mansion. Not only Jingzhao Tongzhi, but also the general manager of Yanfu Road , The officials said that there is no arrangement from above, and they don't know."

   "This is actually the official's intention. He is also very worried about Xixia. If there is a change in Shaanxi Road, I'm afraid you have to go back."

   "In this case, just let me go to Jingzhao Mansion directly, why do you want to go to Beijing?"

   "It's a good thing to go to Beijing! If you leave the country for too long, your contacts in Beijing will gradually fade away, which will be very detrimental to your future career."

"I see!"

  Liang Shicheng took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "You performed amazingly in Zichen Palace this afternoon!"

   "But some people say I'm crazy!"

"No! No! No! Only ignorant people would say that. Today, the officials originally planned to merge the General Assembly Hall into the Zhizheng Hall, and let the Zhizheng Hall directly manage it. In the end, you forced the palace with the refugee issue, and Wang Fu was suspended. , disrupted the official plan, and completely reversed the prince's decline in the past two months. Today, you are the prince's meritorious minister. If the prince rewards you for your merits in the future, you will at least be ranked among the top three."

   "I really didn't expect this result, but I was too angry at the time, and I wanted to settle the score with Wang Fu, but I had no other ideas."

Liang Shicheng knew that Li Yanqing's words were insincere, so he didn't say any more, so he handed Li Yanqing a cardboard box he carried with him, "This is some old things that the prince used when he was young, please Yanqing give it to the prince for me, and then give it to Li Yanqing for me. Say a few good words, and I will leave this matter to you."

  Li Yanqing nodded, "I will definitely do it!"

   "Then I'm going back, and I have to serve the officials at night. I can't do it without me, Yanqing stays!"

  Li Yanqing sent Liang Shicheng out of the house, and watched the carriage go away before returning to the yard.

   "Yanqing, what is Mrs. Liang doing here?" Li Daqi came out of the account room and asked.

   "I want to entrust me with the prince's relationship."

   "Hasn't he been on good terms with the crown prince's Guan Xiu?"

  Li Yanqing smiled and shook his head, "That was before, now he is going the wrong way."

   "Then does he have anything to do for the teacher?"

   This is what Li Daqi is worried about. The identity of the teacher has always been a sword hanging over his son's head. Li Daqi has been worried about this for many years.

  Li Yanqing sneered, "Father, don't worry, he is still afraid that I will leak this matter, but he is the one who is unlucky, not me!"

  Li Daqi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile: "So that's the case, then I really don't have to worry about it anymore."

   "You really don't have to worry about it anymore."

  Li Yanqing saw that the night had fallen slightly, so he smiled and said: "Daddy, go to bed early! I'll go and see Mr. Mo, there are still a lot of things to deal with tomorrow."

   "You go! Say hello to the old man for me, and tell Cao Yan that the ship is ready and they can leave Beijing at any time."

  Li Yanqing nodded, and quickly left Baoyanzhai.

In the morning of the next day, Li Yanqing brought Mo Jun and Cao Ying to the Kaifeng government office. Cao Ying is the son of Cao Xu, the eldest son of the Cao family. It was the first civil servant arranged by the Cao family after Cao Xing and Cao Meng followed Li Yanqing, as Li Yanqing's staff.

Li Yanqing walked into the Kaifeng government office, and Zhao Hui greeted him with a smile on his face, "Just now, news came from all the counties in Kaifeng Prefecture that the relief of refugees has all started yesterday. Renqiu County has set up three relief centers, and the county magistrate Jiang promised that, No refugee will die of illness and starvation in Renqiu County."

  Of course Li Yanqing is well aware of Zhao Hui's past and present, but he is too lazy to argue with Zhao Hui, and his own thoughts are not in the Kaifeng mansion.

  Li Yanqing nodded, "Young Shaoyin has worked hard. Let me introduce to Zhao Shaoyin. These two are my aides, Mo Jun and Cao Ying. If you have anything to do, you can go to them directly."

Zhao Hui hastily greeted the two of them, and hurriedly sent someone to arrange a staff room for Mo Jun and Cao Ying. The two's official room was also in the backyard of the Plum Blossom Hall, next to Li Yanqing. According to the division of labor, Mo Jun was in charge of the court and Kaifeng County Cao Ying is in charge of the affairs of the other 15 counties under his jurisdiction. In addition, each person is equipped with two staff, plus a tea boy who is in charge of running errands for sencha, which is complete.

At this time, Nie Shan, another minister of the Kaifeng government, came to meet Li Yanqing. Nie Shan was nearly fifty years old and was a student of Cai Bian, the former prime minister. The case of Fan Dang was demoted by Wang Fu to the prefect of De'an, and at the beginning of the year, he was transferred back to the capital by Cai Jing to serve as Shao Yin of Jingzhao. He was mainly in charge of the counties in Kaifeng Prefecture. He happened to go to Chenliu County on business two days ago, and he only came back last night.

  Li Yanqing asked Nie Shan to sit down and asked, "How is the situation in the counties of Kaifeng Prefecture?"

Nie Shan shook his head, "The situation is not very good, mainly due to the high prices and low income, coupled with the panic in recent months, many wealthy families have moved south, and most of the young people have flocked to the capital, making the counties look very depressed , the law and order is not good, there have been several cases of interception, robbery and murder. This time I went to Chenliu County, a businessman was murdered. Seven members of the family were killed and more than 5,000 taels of silver were stolen. "

   "Is the case solved?"

   "Basically, it was found out that it was a group of thieves from Caizhou. There were five thieves in this group. However, after the incident, these five people escaped. Now they are missing, and arrest warrants have been issued to various states."

Li Yanqing pondered for a while and said: "There are 40,000 to 50,000 refugees who have fled to the capital from various prefectures in Hebei. , and the cases of the counties are handed over to the officials."

   "The humble job understands!"

Li Yanqing introduced Mo Jun and Cao Ying to him again, and said to Nie Shan: "Tomorrow, I will strengthen the training of the guards, and I have to disperse some of my energy. Maybe I won't have too much time to take care of the Kaifeng mansion. What's the matter?" Just discuss it with my two aides, if you can handle it, you can handle it yourself, if it doesn't work, I will come forward to solve it.”

  Nie Shan said solemnly: "Training troops is the most urgent matter. Please do your best, and try not to disturb the governor as much as possible."

  Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "Then Nie Shaoyin has worked hard!"
