Chapter 803 Extra Extra (1)
When Chen Jinyu wanted to take up a foreign post, the one he was most reluctant to give up was not Prime Minister Chen, but the Emperor of Liang.
Jiang Shaohua held Chen Jinyu's hand, reluctant to leave, calling her old nickname: "Sister Jinyu, it will take at least five years for you to leave. Are you really willing to let me go?"
Chen Jinyu has been by her side since she was ten years old. It’s been eleven years this year.
She has become accustomed to calling Chen Sheren whenever she opens her mouth. I was also used to chatting and joking with Chen Sheren after working hard on government affairs.
To be honest, she can't live without Cui Du, but she can't live without Chen Jinyu.
Chen Jinyu was amused by Jiang Shaohua's rare stickiness: "It's not like I'll never come back. I'll just serve for one time, and I will return to the capital in five years and be transferred to the sixth department. By then, the emperor will look at me every day, and he will definitely be annoyed by me. ”
Yes, if Chen Jinyu wants to be a real Daliang official, he must start step by step in a down-to-earth manner.
No matter how reluctant she was, she had to let Chen Jinyu leave the capital.
Jiang Shaohua sighed: "You must write to me often in the future."
Chen Jinyu smiled and said: "That's natural. I'll write a letter once a month. Then you just don't think I'm noisy."
Jiang Shaohua finally laughed: "How could that happen? By the way, just tell me where you want to go."
This is the benefit of being close to the emperor.
Wherever you want to go, just tell the emperor.
Chen Jinyu had already made plans: "I want to go to Yuzhou. The previous corruption case started in Yuzhou. Sheriff Zhuo was beheaded and the post of governor was vacant. I want to take over."
"The local people have had a hard time for several years. After I go there, I will take good care of people's livelihood and make their lives easier."
"I also have some selfish motives. My father works as governor in Yuzhou, and I go to Yuzhou as an errand. From now on, I will be closer to my father and mother. I can also go to the state capital to meet them after a while."
That's what it's like to be an official in a foreign country. It's a world apart. Governor Chen and his wife are in Yuzhou, Chen Haoran and his wife and daughter are in Bowang County, and Prime Minister Chen is in the capital. The three generations of grandparents are far apart and can only communicate through letters.
Chen Jinyu wanted to go abroad, so she wanted to be closer to her father.
Jiang Shaohua nodded in agreement: "Okay, you go to Yuzhou." He smiled and joked: "Ma Yaozong will go with you and be your deputy. You will take care of him both in public and private affairs."
Chen Jinyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Since the day I became the princess's servant ten years ago, I have always been on his side. He has long been used to it!"
Jiang Shaohua laughed happily.
In fact, Cui Du is the same. Yu Gong, she is the empress and Cui Du is the minister. Personally, Cui Du is the son-in-law, who is also a head shorter than his wife.
The trend of marriages in which women are strong and men are weak has quietly spread among female officials. For example, Lu Qingqing and Cui Yun'er, when they reached the age of getting married, they both recruited sons-in-law. The Lu family and the Cui family are not stupid at all. If the female officials carefully trained by the family get married, it will be in vain to give an advantage to outsiders. Just recruit a son-in-law into the house.
None of the three young ladies in the palace got married. They are busy working as errands during the day. Will they get married, raise husbands and raise children, serve their parents-in-law and take care of the house?
From the moment they passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom, their life trajectories were destined to be different from those of ordinary women.
Chen Jinyu wanted to take up another position, and all the errands in his hands were divided between Lu Zhen, Wang Shu and Li Fangfei.
Before leaving, she also told Lu Zhen privately: "Lu Zhen, you are from Nanyang County, and the emperor has special respect and trust in you. You also represent the face of Ye County Women's College. When you are in the palace, you must be better than others." More cautious and careful.”
The others are Wang Shu and Li Fangfei.
The two of them came from wealthy families and had strong backers, but they were both suppressed by Lu Zhen. How can I be convinced in my heart? On weekdays, they are quite harmonious in public, but in private they often argue with each other. Lu Zhen had experienced a lot in the palace for several years and had grown a lot. His vigor and vigor that refused to be accepted by anyone was quietly replaced by composure. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, Chen Sheren, I will do my job well and won't embarrass the academy."
Chen Sheren patted Lu Zhen on the shoulder: "Okay, I just like your spirit."
Then he lowered his voice and said: "The emperor is busy with political affairs on weekdays. Occasionally he likes to chat when he is free. It is not only a pastime but also a way to relieve stress. I am leaving, and I will leave the tasks of chatting with the emperor to you in the future."
Lu Zhen straightened his back and opened his mouth to answer.
Chen Sheren gave detailed instructions for a long time before leaving the Zhaohe Hall. After walking for a while, Chen Sheren couldn't help but turn his head and take a look.
A familiar figure appeared at the palace gate.
It's her lifelong best friend Jiang Shaohua.
Chen Jinyu's eyes became hot and tears welled up.
Jiang Shaohua waved to Chen Jinyu from a long distance away.
Chen Jinyu couldn't help herself, turned around, rushed to Jiang Shaohua, and hugged her.

Jiang Shaohua's eyes were also moist. She patted Chen Jinyu's back gently: "Sister Jinyu, we are going to high mountains and far distances, so take care of yourself along the way."
……
Chen Jinyu got into the carriage with red eyes and cried all the way. When she returned to the house, her eyes were almost swollen from crying.
Ma Yaozong looked very distressed and put his arms around his wife: "What's going on? Didn't you enter the palace to say goodbye to the emperor? Why are you still crying?"
Chen Jinyu choked with sobs: "I can't bear to leave the emperor."
Ma Yaozong patted his wife's back gently and coaxed softly: "If you really don't want to leave, we won't leave. We'll stay shamelessly."
Chen Jinyu wiped away tears and said: "How can that happen? I don't want to live my whole life relying on the protection of the emperor and my grandfather. I want to be a real important minister of the court."
Ma Yaozong just talked casually. The change of personnel in the court is a major matter and should not be treated as a trivial matter. Chen Jinyu wanted to be an official abroad, not only for the sake of his future career, but also to avoid the suspicion that his ancestors and grandsons were both the emperor's confidants and wielding power in the palace.
Prime Minister Chen is now more powerful than one person and more powerful than ten thousand people, and the power in his hands is astonishing. Chen Jinyu can no longer stay in the palace and should avoid leaving the capital.
When he returns to Beijing in the future, it is not appropriate to be a close minister of the emperor. The right path is to transfer to the Six Ministries.
Chen Jinyu cried hard and calmed down a little.
The couple packed up their belongings, said goodbye to their grandfather, and left Beijing while Kang Geer was still sleeping.
After leaving the capital and traveling for a few days, Chen Jinyu finally broke away from the sadness of separation and had a smile on his face: "I used to travel around with the princess and stayed in the capital for several years, and now I finally go on a long journey again."
Ma Yaozong grew a short beard, and his handsome face was reddened by the sun. He had the outstanding demeanor of a Daliang official: "When we arrive in Yuzhou, we will first visit our father-in-law and mother-in-law."
Chen Jinyu smiled happily: "That's what I planned too. After five years of separation, I miss my mother's nagging."
Ma Yaozong grinned: "This is the time to think about it. Once we meet, you will complain of a headache in two days at most."
