Meritorious Service
Qin Bai can also understand his wife's longing for her son. In fact, he himself has always been thinking about his eldest son very much.
Qin Ping has refused to remarry for many years, and as an old father, he is worried about his son. However, marriage is not something that parents can do in a hurry. Qin Ping has to be willing to achieve a happy marriage. Even if Qin Ping is willing to do so, he will not marry again.
You can't marry a wife who is in love with you. The principle of life is to have harmony between husband and wife and a harmonious family. Since Qin Ping is unwilling, forceful melons are not sweet, but will cause trouble to the eldest son, and the daughter-in-law who comes in will also be unhappy.
Grief, isn't it tiring for others and tiring ourselves?
Therefore, Qin Bai always advises his old wife Niu not to push her eldest son too hard. Maybe Qin Ping just hasn't met his fate yet? Maybe he just hasn't forgotten his late wife? He is only in his thirties, so his age doesn't count.
Big, he can still afford it in just a few years.
The death of his eldest daughter-in-law Guan was indeed unjust and made everyone feel very sorry. Qin Bai sometimes felt regretful in the dead of night. He should have paid more attention to He's words and deeds and disciplined him more harshly so that his old wife could have more time.
To appease Mrs. Guan, she should arrange for someone to be there to listen when she meets her natal family members. This can at least prevent the Guan family members from saying too much. The couple really valued their grandson too seriously at the beginning.
Since Qin Ping was "dead" and Qin An only had one son, he somewhat tolerated the grandson's biological mother. But the grandson and the grandson's biological mother were completely different things. Why did the couple have to treat them as one in the first place?
What? It was obvious that the eldest granddaughter and eldest daughter-in-law had suffered more injustices. They really shouldn't have been immersed in the pain of "losing their son" and ignored the bullying of the Guan family by the He family.
The people they had seen in the past, no matter how vicious and cruel they were, had their limits. They never imagined that there would be a vicious woman like He in this world, who would put innocent people to death for a few trivial things.
?
Qin Bai secretly sighed, remembering that his eldest granddaughter Qin Hanzhen had stayed with the couple in the past few years. Although she was always a little lax about the rules and would make remarks that were inappropriate for her status from time to time, she was generally raised to be cheerful, filial and polite.
She is diligent and studious, and is a very good child. She obviously resents Qin An in her heart, but she is still willing to tolerate it for the sake of the old couple. She is also very friendly to Brother Qian and Hanzhu, the two children of the He family.
Kindness is really rare. How can one not like such a granddaughter?
It’s just the eldest son Qin Ping...
Qin Bai really doesn't know how to comfort his son. He can only hope that he can gradually forget the pain caused by Guan's death in the future and open his heart to accept new people. The deceased has passed away, but the living must continue to live.
Go down. Since granddaughter Qin Hanzhen can do it, Qin Ping, as a father, should not be compared to his daughter.
Qin Bai thought about it all night, and when he was summoned by the emperor the next day and went into the palace to chat with the emperor, he mentioned his eldest son Qin Ping. He said that his old wife had been talking about Qin Ping's new official position in the future, and she didn't know if he could stay close to home.
Some, so that the family can send him some things from time to time, take care of his daily life, and make it more convenient to say goodbye to him.
The emperor smiled: "Your wife is still thinking about marrying Qin Ping? Qin Ping is also true. Although he has a deep love for his former wife, now that they have been together for seven years, it is time to let go. He still has
If you don’t have a son, you will have to marry again and have heirs. Now Hanzhen has been promised to Guanglu and will get married next year, but there is not even a stepmother in the family to help with the marriage, and Qin An’s wife is a Xiaomen
Coming out of a small household, I don’t know how your wife will worry about it.”
Qin Bai smiled bitterly and said: "She relies on a few nuns to help her now. Although Brother An's daughter-in-law does not have a prominent family background, her family is also a scholarly family. She has studied for several years and can help out. It's just that
She also had to take care of the children, so her resources were limited. Now Hanzhen was helping her grandmother more. Her grandmother now only took care of her dowry and the family income, leaving Hanzhen to discuss it with her aunt.
Sometimes we talk privately, and we feel that we have wronged our granddaughter. But her father has a bad temper, and we cannot force him to marry again. We only hope that he can return to the capital to take up a post in the future, and go home every day to listen to
If his mother persuades him more, he might be able to change his mind."
The emperor smiled, sighed, and said: "Your family Han is such a good child. She and Guang Lu both lost their mothers when they were young and had a hard time. Fortunately, both children managed to survive. In the future, they both
Once we get married, we can support each other, and life will only get better and better."
The emperor didn't say much about Qin Ping's marriage. Not even his parents' persuasion could make Qin Ping change his mind. The emperor claimed to be a good uncle, so how could he force his brother-in-law to do something he didn't want to do? But he could also help.
Where he is busy, such as Qin Ping's new official position, he can make some adjustments.
Qin Ping did a good job in the garrison of Guangzhou. I heard that in the past year, he also discovered that a Western businessman had shipped a poisonous object from overseas to Guangzhou with the intention of selling it to his own countrymen. That object
Although it can be used as medicine and has good effects, the businessman obviously did not transport this product to Jokhang to cure diseases and save people. Qin Ping took his soldiers and demonstrated it publicly in front of the people, so that the people in prison would be executed.
A criminal who attracted something called "opium tablets" died within a day, making the people aware of the harmful effects of those opium tablets.
Although some people pointed out that the death row inmate died because he took too much, which is not the normal situation, Qin Ping also used other death row inmates as examples, proving that people who are attracted to opium will become addicted and will only take more and more.
, until death, there is no possibility of stopping. The so-called saying that smoking opium tablets can make people stronger is simply nonsense. It is just a story compiled by businessmen in order to get people to buy more opium tablets.
It's just a lie. Although opium tablets are indeed medicinal, the dosage is very small, and a doctor has to check the pulse to determine whether it can be used. And how many patients can there be in Guangzhou, and how many patients are needed?
A whole boatload of opium pills coming to the rescue?
Those who objected could no longer argue.
The Guangzhou prefect joined forces with the guards and led officers and soldiers to confiscate all the opium tablets brought by the Western merchants, transport them to the beach, dig pits, and sell them with lime. At the same time, they also found several prohibited items on the Western merchants' boats.
So he severely punished the other party, the ship owner, and the boatmen, expelled them all, and ordered them not to be allowed to enter the country again. The other foreign and local merchants, and those who sold opium, were also severely punished. From now on.
, only a small amount of opium is allowed into the country every year for medicinal purposes. Once this number is exceeded, the people from the Guangzhou Shipping Department will expel the merchants from the country with their ships and goods, and they will not be allowed to come back in the future.
In order to gain recognition from the imperial court, the prefect of Guangzhou and Qin Ping, the Guangzhou garrison, submitted the official documents at the same time. The emperor had already asked the people at the Taiyuan Hospital and received a positive answer, so he approved these official documents and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to add an article about this in the relevant regulations.
There is a ban on opium and opium, and it is strictly forbidden for its own citizens to grow and sell this item in the country.
The emperor was a very wise old man. From the official memorials, he could sense the harmfulness of opium and tablets. He was very satisfied with the local officials in Guangzhou for cutting off the large inflow of this commodity from the beginning.
He deeply felt that Qin Ping had fulfilled his duties in his garrison duties and was not only capable but also very visionary. It would be too much of a waste for such talents to be placed far away from the center like Guangzhou for a long time.
He was planning to transfer people elsewhere. He originally thought that Tianjin was good, but there happened to be a shortage of Tianjin guards next year, but next year the Xuanfu envoys of the Xuanfu Department in Liaodong and Shaanxi would also have to be replaced. That of Tianjin Guards
Chu is an official of the fourth rank, while Xuanfu Envoy is from the fourth rank. In terms of rank, Qin Ping may be more suitable to be promoted to Xuanfu Envoy. From the fifth rank to the fourth rank, it may be okay if he has merit, but
After being promoted to the fourth rank, no one can gossip. Liaodong is where Qin Ping's son-in-law Zhao Mo was born, and Shaanxi is where Qin Ping grew up and was stationed for many years. No matter where he goes
, Qin Ping should be able to adapt well, and be able to win opportunities to make meritorious deeds, and then move up the ranks.
The emperor was worried about where to transfer Qin Bai next year. Now he suddenly heard his brother-in-law Qin Bai talking about it, and he hesitated again. Qin Bai and his wife were old and had been separated from their sons for many years. They wanted their sons to be able to
It is human nature to have Cheng Huan at his knees. He would think twice about promoting his brother-in-law to another official position, but he was just transferring the junior back to the capital so that his brother-in-law could reunite with his family. What was the difficulty? What was wrong with Qin Bai?
They owe too much, and Qin Bai has always been cautious and reluctant to make any requests. Now Qin Bai and his wife only have such a small wish, how can the brother-in-law not satisfy him?
It's just that if there is any shortage in the capital next year, he has to ask his subordinates first. He can't just bring his brother-in-law back to the capital. He must give the junior a good position and have the opportunity to rise in the future.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it ruin my brother-in-law’s good future?
The emperor showed a gentle smile, chatted with Qin Ping for a while, and then asked him to leave the palace and go home. He planned to surprise his brother-in-law when there was good news.
It's just that the emperor went back to the ministers of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel, but couldn't find any suitable official vacancies that could be vacated next year. There are good jobs in the civil service, but they are probably not suitable for Qin Ping. Although Qin Ping has one
My father is very knowledgeable, but he joined the army at a young age and did not settle down to study for a few years. He is probably only a little more learned than the average army lieutenant and can barely compete with a Confucian general. Really
He might not be able to give up martial arts and become a civilized person, and he lacks the relevant qualifications. He is afraid that he will be in an embarrassing situation among his colleagues.
The emperor was a little troubled, so he went to discuss it with the prince. Apart from the prince, he could not find anyone else with whom to discuss such family matters.
Unexpectedly, the prince gave him a surprise: "There is no suitable vacancy next year, what about this year? I remember hearing Guang Lu mentioned it just before, saying that he heard from Yunyang Hou Shizi that there was an old man who commanded the affairs of the city guard.
He is seriously ill and is afraid that he will die. His brother is also working as a governor in the city guard. The two brothers may have to worry about it at the earliest by the end of the year and at the latest by the beginning of next year. Both positions are vacant and there is no one to fill them for a while.
Well. These two positions, one is from the fifth rank, and the other is from the fourth rank, they are both capital officials. No matter which one can be given to cousin Ping, right? It’s just that before his term expires, these two vacancies will have to be replaced.
Now that he’s here, why don’t we call him back to Beijing in advance?”
The emperor's eyes suddenly lit up.
The protagonist who doesn’t appear, but can’t hide his presence... have you discovered it?
