Chapter 189 I’m going back to Chang’an
The sun shone into the house through the window lattice and fell on Zhang Ruo, dyeing a pure cyan robe into patterns. He half-squinted He closed his eyes and enjoyed the massage of his daughter behind him.
When I was still in Chang'an, whenever I was exhausted, my youngest daughter would always appear in the study at the right time and give me a massage before I was exhausted.
In the blink of an eye, almost a year has passed.
After being demoted from Chang'an and traveling thousands of miles outside the customs, I thought that it would be difficult to fulfill my ambition, so I left in despair, but I didn't expect that there would be a sudden turn of events and I would actually come back to life.
In this year, there have been ups and downs, great joys and great sorrows, and it has really allowed me to see through this world.
Things that have been missed can be repeated, but people who have passed away can never come back to life.
Fortunately, my little daughter is with me.
He gently patted Zhang Qingyun's hand behind him, and said softly: "Qingyun, come, sit down, let us father and daughter have a good talk. Let's talk about the last time we met in Tai'an City. After our meeting, we haven’t seen each other for several months, right?”
Zhang Qingyun moved a stool and sat next to Zhang Ruo. Looking at the crumbling bookcase beside Zhang Ruo, she couldn't help but smile and said: "No matter how poor Duxian County is, it is impossible to find a book. A good desk?”
"The desk is not important!" Zhang Ruo shook his head and said: "When I was in Chang'an, your father's desk was probably worth a thousand taels of silver, but what happened in the end? External possessions are not worth mentioning. !"
Zhang Qingyun nodded and said: "Dad is right."
"When I came here last year, your dad and I were still prisoners, but now, I have established a foothold outside the prison. "Although this Du County is small, it will be the starting point for your father to take off again. Qingyun, come and help me, I know your talents. What my father needs most now is people like you!" Zhang Ruodao.
Zhang Qingyun smiled slightly: "I'm living a good life now, and the work at hand is also critical, so I can't let it go."
"You are in Tai'an Don't think that your father doesn't know what Cheng is doing!" The smile on Zhang Ruo's face faded: "I have been in Anxi Protector's Mansion for a long time, and Li Dachui didn't deliberately hide it from me. What does Zhi Qiuyuan do? ? That’s the same thing as the Black Ice Platform. What can you, a girl, do there? ”
Zhang Qingyun said: "What can I do when I come to you?"
"The Supervisory Envoy Yamen will be established soon, and your father now has a solid ally. Going forward, I want to truly exert my power." You are here to help me as an inspector, just like you did in Chang'an!" Zhang Ruodao: "Your best analysis, combined with these things, will be of great help to me!"
Zhang Qing! Yun shook his head firmly.
"Dad, I will not come to supervise the Yamen!"
Zhang Ruo was a little surprised by Zhang Qingyun's attitude. He looked Zhang Qingyun up and down, his eyes flashing suddenly. After a hint of anger: "Qingyun, Li Dachui didn't do anything to you, right?"
Zhang Qingyun was stunned at first, then her face turned red. She looked at her father angrily and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Have you ever said that about your daughter? You don't know what Deputy Governor Li is like." "People, don't you understand what kind of person your daughter is?"
Zhang Ruo sighed, "There are rumors outside. What did Li Dachui say when he took you away?" ? You have been living in Li Dachui's mansion in Tai'an City for so long, and you look more majestic than your father when you go out! If you really like Li Dachui, and Li Dachui also likes you, I won't stop you, no matter what. He was once a horse bandit, but now he has changed his ways and become a court official, and he is the mainstay of Da Qin outside the Pass! "
"Dad, stop talking nonsense," Zhang Qingyun said angrily. : "I have no relationship at all with Deputy Protector Li. Even if we do, it is only a superior-subordinate relationship."
"Is there really no love between men and women?" Zhang Ruo asked forcefully.
Zhang Qingyun nodded firmly and said: "No, dad, even if you ask a hundred times, I will give you the same answer. Moreover, I have no plans to get married in this life."
< br>
"What nonsense are you talking about? It's time for men to get married, and for women to get married!" Zhang Ruodao said. "Since you and this Li Dachui have nothing, it's even more important to come back. Otherwise, the longer you stay, the more gossip there will be. Come back to help dad, and dad will help you find a young hero in the future."
Zhang Qingyun sighed and said: "Dad, do you want to become a third-party force outside the customs when you set up a government office in Dushan and win over Xuanwu Cai Qi?"
"Of course!" Zhang Ruodao. "You chose to continue serving Da Qin, but I don't want to!" Zhang Qingyun's soft words sounded like a bolt from the blue to Zhang Ruo's ears.
"Qingyun, do you mean that Xiao Changche and Li Dachui are the same people as Linghu Ye, and they also want to bring trouble to the Qin Dynasty?" Zhang Ruo asked.
"Dad, you are overthinking. From what I have seen, what Xiao Changche, Li Dachui and the others want to do is to defeat Linghuye first, and then attack the Yuan Dynasty in the north. With these things alone, Li Dachui's plan is already there Ten years later, who can imagine what will happen in ten years?" Zhang Qingyun said: "But now you are only thinking about how to check and balance them, how to balance the power, you can't think about how to help them. Destroy Linghuye and destroy Beiyuan? "
"What about in the future? If there is no more constraints, we will lead the troops of tigers and wolves outside the pass, and let the beautiful mountains and rivers in the pass be filled with smoke?" Zhang Ruo asked. .
Zhang Qingyun laughed: "Without the power from outside the Pass, will there be peace within the Pass? Moreover, if they can really do this and send troops inside the Pass, what's the downside? You see Look at Tai'an City, look at Aquarius State today, and you have also been to Helanyuan. Are those people living a much better life than the people in Chang'an, which you are so proud of? Dad, I can't forget it? I can't forget the way my mother died of fear, and how miserable my brother was when he was tortured to death in prison. Have you forgotten all of this? Or did you choose to forgive them because of Wei Yi's sorry words? "
"Your eldest brother died a worthy death for the sake of the Dao!" Zhang Ruodao: "Your father was loyal and loyal throughout his life and never thought of changing his family."
"So Dad, I won't advise you because I know you. "Zhang Qingyun said: "But I have no intention of taking this path."
Zhang Ruo breathed out a breath, "In that case, what are you doing here today?"
"Dad, I'm going back to Chang'an!" Zhang Qingyun's words made Zhang Ruo stunned again.
"Go back to Chang'an?"
"Yes!" Zhang Qingyun said: "I won't hide it from you. I know that Qiuyuan has decided to deploy forces in the pass. This matter has always been easy. I am in charge. After half a year of operation, it has begun to improve. I need to go back and take charge of the overall situation."
"You also said that Xiao Changche, Li Dachui and the others have no intention of rebellion? The tentacles have reached Chang’an!”
"Dad, when we deploy forces in Chang'an, we do not necessarily want to rebel against the imperial court! Firstly, the Anxi Protectorate now has a lot of business in the pass and needs people to run it. Secondly, we also need to understand the trends of the imperial court and know in advance. Some of the policies and even personnel changes of the imperial court can be prepared in advance," Zhang Qingyun said: "In the past, Li Dachui and the others did not pay attention to the management of Guan Nei. It was not until I joined Zhiqiuyuan that I started to focus on management. Now I am. I have to go back and reap the fruits I have sown!"
"We have no relatives inside the customs. Dad is outside the customs. How can you go back alone?" Zhang Ruo knew his daughter's character at this point. , I'm afraid that whatever I say will be in vain.
Fortunately, Zhang Qingyun said that they were not preparing to rebel. For him, this was the greatest comfort.
Just get some intelligence. As long as you can hold back the troops outside the customs from entering the customs, how can some intelligence personnel shake the overall situation?
"Poor in the busy city and no one knows about it, rich in the mountains with distant relatives!" Zhang Qingyun said calmly: "Believe it or not, when I go back this time, I will find a large family of relatives again! You are now a third-grade person. Deputy Capital Censor, given your recent achievements outside the customs, as long as you return to the court, the Capital Censor will hold on to you, maybe return to your profession and become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue!”
Zhang Ruo fell silent.
"Dad, I'm afraid you won't be able to go back for a while. When I go back, I can also clean and repair the tombs of my mother and brother. You have to do your best for the court here, my daughter. I won’t stop you, but I just want to advise you. , No matter how hard you work, you will end up in vain!"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because Da Qin is rotten at its core! !" Zhang Qingyun sighed: " It can be seen from the fact that you directly remonstrated and was demoted, that the current Great Qin is just struggling to maintain itself. As long as there is a slight disturbance, a fire will definitely ignite. This fire does not start from outside the pass, but. It ignites from within them Come. I learned the real reason for the defeat of Xiangcheng from Wu De, and I knew that Da Qin was hopeless!"
"The defeat of Xiangcheng was just a punishment officer? , what does he know?”
"Haha!" Zhang Qingyun laughed: "Dad, Wu De is the fourth figure in the Black Ice Platform that you are so scornful of, and outside Xiangcheng, our Great Qin suffered tens of thousands of elite casualties, not because of Nan Chu How powerful it is, but because we in Da Qin hope that Da Qin will lose, because only if Da Qin loses can they eat up the huge body of Da Qin!"
"This is impossible, this is impossible! "Zhang Ruo murmured.
"It is temporarily stable outside the pass, but a war will break out soon inside the pass!" Zhang Qingyun said: "If dad doesn't believe it, you can wait and see. There will definitely be a report from the imperial court. You see You can probably guess who will die. However, Li Dachui said that Wei Zhengdao and the others wanted to kill the chickens and scare the monkeys, but they were afraid that in the end they would have the opposite effect and the world would be in chaos in the past two or three years. .”
