Chapter 913: Far in the sky, close at hand...
Walking out of Aunt Zhao's courtyard, he heard that the crying not only did not weaken, but became louder. Sun Shaozong could only sigh helplessly.
Just now he had used both coaxing and intimidation to finally get Jia Zheng to relax a little, but he didn't expect that all his efforts would be in vain .
"Lord Sun."
Just as she was thinking about what to do next, a person suddenly appeared from behind the shade of a tree. It was Yuchuan, Mrs. Wang's maid.
Yuchuan came closer and bowed deeply, then her eyes moved between Sun Shaozong and Aunt Zhao's courtyard, her eyes full of inquiry.
Sun Shaozong shook his head at her and asked about Mrs. Wang's behavior.
"It is my wife's order that I would like to invite you to come over and talk to me." Yuchuan said, and bowed slightly: "Please follow me, sir."
No conversation along the way.
After walking a short distance, we arrived at the three side rooms near Rong Xi Tang.
Before Sun Shaozong arrived at the door, a maid had already gone in to report, so Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to greet him - accompanied by Aunt Xue and Li Wan.
This combination is really...
Sun Shaozong didn't dare to look any further, and hurried forward to bow. But before he could say anything, Madam Wang held him back and asked anxiously, "My dear nephew, has the old man let go?"
"this……"
Sun Shaozong hesitated, and the hope on Mrs. Wang's face suddenly dimmed. She let go of her hands dejectedly, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
Seeing this, Sun Shaozong hurriedly said, "But my nephew just thought of someone who should be able to persuade Uncle."
“Who is it?!”
Mrs. Wang became excited again.
Sun Shaozong said confidently: "This person is far away in the sky, but close at hand..."
“Pah~!”
"I don't know why," Aunt Xue suddenly spat. When Mrs. Wang turned her head subconsciously to look over, she quickly lowered her head with a red face.
Fortunately, Madam Wang was eager to save her son and did not think too much about it. She hurriedly asked, "Who is it, Erlang? Just tell me. No matter how difficult it is to invite him, I will invite him!"
“It’s not that difficult.”
Sun Shaozong shook his head and said, "This person is none other than Uncle Sheshi of the mansion. As long as he is willing to come forward and explain the righteousness, the problem will be solved."
"Uncle?"
Mrs. Wang was stunned. Because the eldest and second houses were not on good terms, and she looked down on Jia She the most, she had never thought of asking Jia She for help.
However, now that Sun Shaozong has enlightened me, the more I think about it, the more I feel it is appropriate.
The person who is most capable of checking Jia Zheng in this mansion is naturally the old lady.
But this powerful woman has been bedridden recently. Baoyu does not want to make her condition worse, while Mrs. Wang cannot afford the consequences of letting her mother-in-law become seriously ill.
So neither the mother nor the son can use this trump card.
But Jia She is different. Under the current situation, even if he does not expose the matter, relying on his status as the eldest brother and using the name of filial piety, it is enough to suppress Jia Zheng and Aunt Zhao.
Thinking of this, Madam Wang nodded as if she had just woken up from a dream and said, "Yes, yes, this matter should be handled by my uncle. I will go find him now!"
Having said that, he didn't care about etiquette and hurried straight to the east courtyard.
Most of the maids and old women had gone with them, leaving only Aunt Xue, Li Wan, and her servants, who stared at Sun Shaozong for a long time.
…
Before the two brothers Jia She and Jia Zheng could come to a conclusion, Sun Shaozong took his leave and left Rongguo Mansion.
After all, there were some barbarians blocking the door and causing trouble yesterday. In such troubled times, it would be inappropriate for him, the second-in-command, to keep asking for leave.
However, when we arrived near the yamen, we did not see the group of Jurchens from yesterday - according to Hong Jiu, who was temporarily guarding the gate, they seemed to have gone to the Ministry of Rites.
It seems that there are still a few smart ones among these Jurchens who know that the key to the matter is not how the Dali Temple handles it, but in the court's positioning of the Later Jin envoys.
If he was regarded as an envoy of a country, the most the Dali Temple could do was to suggest to the court that Alin Qi Tu, who had injured someone and resisted arrest, should be expelled.
On the contrary, if the imperial court refuses to recognize the Later Jin Dynasty, then the case can only be handled according to the rules.
Of course, not everyone can think of this. At least many people, led by Right Shaoqing Li Wenshan, believe that the reason why the Jurchen Tatars moved the battlefield was because they were afraid of Sun Shaozong's unparalleled bravery.
For this reason, at lunchtime, Li Wenshan was very disappointed and sighed: "Scholars are really useless!"
"Brother Li, what are you talking about?"
Sun Shaozong said incoherently, "Once the "Popularizing Law in the Countryside" project is approved, it's all up to you to take the lead in compiling the textbooks. If anyone dares to say that scholars are useless, I will be the first to disagree."
As he spoke, he extended his chopsticks to the crystal pork elbow in the middle of the table.
Cut open the soft and glutinous pork skin, and the rich and crystal clear soup will immediately flow out. Wait until the shrimps below are soaked, and then wrap them with the cut skin and meat. It tastes indescribably fresh and fragrant.
This is the best place in the world, but the canteen in this government office doesn't dare to serve any delicacies. If they want to please their leaders, they can only make some fancy dishes with ordinary ingredients.
Only in this way can the pork and mutton be cooked most authentically.
However, Li Wenshan obviously had no appetite. He used chopsticks to comb his beard, muttering to himself, "Speaking of this "Popularizing Law in the Countryside", it's been half a month, so there should be some news, right? How come there's not even a whistle?"
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Shaozong anxiously, "Could it be that His Majesty has detained me?"
"It shouldn't be. After all, it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Even if there are some flaws, it should be discussed at the court meeting."
Sun Shaozong responded casually, but he knew it clearly in his mind - there was a change of mind in the cabinet selection, so the bigwigs in the court and the emperor would not care about the "Legal Education in the Countryside" project.
It is estimated that this plan will not be implemented until the candidate for the second assistant is decided.
perhaps……
We should find an opportunity to communicate with Xue Pan's father-in-law. If we can convince him to promote "Legal Education in Rural Areas" as his main political achievement after taking office, we will surely achieve twice the result with half the effort.
"That's right."
After chatting for a while about "Popularizing Law in the Countryside", Li Wenshan turned around and thought about what was happening in front of him: "When are you going to bring that Liaodong Tartar who hurt people to court?"
"No rush, just lock the urine bucket for a few days first."
Sun Shaozong said nonchalantly, "Didn't the Censorate send a few more cases over the past two days? We have to follow the principle of first come first served."
As he was speaking, Zhao Nan came in holding an invitation. Before Sun Shaozong could open his mouth, he had already recognized the style of the invitation.
An invitation from the Prince’s Mansion?
Could it be because Lord Xu was blocked from entering the cabinet?
Then Zhao Nan reported: "Master, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent an invitation to you to go to Sun Jijiu's residence to celebrate his birthday on the 23rd of this month."
So it was because of this matter.
Tsk~
Now the gift is a bit troublesome, it can't be too shabby, but it can't be better than the gift from the prince.
Or...
Send someone to communicate with the Crown Princess in advance?
