Imperial City, Fengzao Palace.
As soon as Emperor Long'an arrived outside the east warm pavilion of the side hall, he stopped Zhaorong Caipin's greetings when he heard strange screams coming from inside...
Today... I drink a celebratory wine... I have not fulfilled my ambitions... I will never stop!
This unpretentious and strange voice made Emperor Longan twitch the corners of his mouth, and his face gradually became strange.
He listened to the voice again, and his bastard son Li Xuan cursed: Jia Qiang, I asked you to sing if you don’t sing, let me sing first. Is your sing so beautifully, and you are still making fun of me?
Hahaha!
Jia Qiang's laughter burst out, and then, Queen Yin's gentle and slightly charming laughter also sounded.
Li Xuan was obviously angry and angry, and was almost angry, and screamed: Mother!!
After all, Queen Yin was partial to her son and said: Jia Qiang, it’s your turn!Since you said it just now, let Xiao Wuer sing first. After he finishes singing, it's your turn.
Jia Qiang's helpless voice sounded: Empress, I didn't say I wanted to sing... It was the prince who was happy and insisted on showing off!
Li Xuan quivered: You pushed down King Zhongshun Li You and left the palace and sang happily!
Jia Qiang said aloud and reminded: Prince, you can eat randomly, and you can't talk randomly.Prince Zhongshun saw that the Embroidered Yiwei collected treasures from his bank bank, which were presented to the emperor by foreign countries, and he dared to keep them privately.After being revealed, he was so angry that he came up and beat me. As a result, he accidentally tripped his left foot to his right foot, and then fell down, and had nothing to do with me!
Li Xuan laughed and said: "It's good, you said it's okay, it's okay, you're not good, and you're tripping your left foot to your right foot... Just think it's my master's push!Sing quickly, my mother's words are also the will and the decree!Jia Qiang, can you still dare to resist the order?
He also said to Queen Yin: Mother?Today, you can hear that my son has seen the arrogant ones?I've never seen such an arrogant person!Listen!
Queen Yin smiled and said: Jia Qiang?Sing and listen.There are no outsiders here, who can laugh at you?Look at Li Xuan, just sing.
Jia Qiang obviously couldn't help but refuse?After clearing his throat, he spoke: Empress?Are the ministers different from the princes?I still want shame...
Jia Qiang!Look at you, you are just trying to die!
This turning point almost flashed Li Xuan's old waist, making him furious.
With his mother in front of him, he was obviously willing to be a son who was entertained by the colour.
Because the more people who live in this world's most noble and noble deep palace, the more they know how cold and ruthless it is in this palace.
so?Is Li Xuan really willing to give up his face?Make Queen Yin happy.
At Yin Hou’s request, Jia Qiang finally started singing:
Today I drink the celebration wine, and I will never stop until my ambitions are fulfilled!The future will show your skills and be willing to shed your blood to write about the Spring and Autumn Period!
Just four short sentences, very simple plays? In fact, it can't even be called Peking Opera, it's just a model opera from a certain period...
And what you often hear in the palace now?A Kunqu opera can be divided into seven or eight allusions in one sentence, not to mention one table.
but?Although the words are simple, they express the pride and will in the chanter's heart.
Queen Yin looked at Jia Qiang? He smiled with a pursed lips: Jia Qiang? Your ambitions are not fulfilled? What ambitions are not fulfilled?
Li Xuan covered her head and said: Mother, don’t ask, please ask, you are overseas. This guy is crazy!
Queen Yin immediately laughed, but Jia Qiang was dissatisfied and said: Going overseas is just a means. Being able to bring those powerful Western means back to the Great Yàn can also be considered beneficial to the country and the people!Isn’t this ambition?
Yin Hou smiled and said: In ancient times, Master Sanzang learned from the West to seek scriptures, and now he has mastered skills in the West to obtain skillful skills... Your ambition will not be known whether it will be a good story in the future.
snort!
As soon as he finished speaking, Emperor Long'an walked in and said: Where have you been here, you started drinking the celebration wine?
When Queen Yin saw Emperor Long'an coming in, she was obviously surprised. She stood up to greet her. After celebrating, she said: These two people have made great contributions today. She said that the errands assigned to them were completed in just two days. She was planning to go hunting outside the city in two days.
When Emperor Long'an heard this, he looked at the two of them with scrutiny.
Obviously, both of them became restrained, not as happy as they laughed and sang...
Emperor Long'an looked at Jia Qiang and said: Are you still going to hunt?I was ambushed and killed last night, so why don’t I have a better memory?I didn’t even rush to go like this even if I was dying?
Jia Qiang said: Your Majesty, I am not going now.After a few days, the prince straightened out the royal family, and after he straightened out the honorary ministers, he would go there if he wanted to assassinate the ministers!In order to make money, they have too little time to protect their ministers, so who is willing to kill them?
Looking at Jia Qiang's young face, he was full of confidence, and Emperor Long'an didn't know what to say for a moment.
As Jia Qiang said, he would give those people a dividend every year several thousand taels of silver, which would be worth seven or eight large farms in a year. Those people really wanted to give him three points...
only……
Emperor Long'an frowned and said: Are there so many?They can share three or five thousand taels if they own a share, and one percent of the shares is three or five hundred thousand taels. I account for 80%, wouldn’t they have to collect millions of taels a year?The Ministry of Revenue’s treasury only collects 40 million taels of taxes per year. Can you, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, get 10% of the treasury?People fight against a hundred, but they are amazing against a hundred. Do you dare to think about paying the taxes of tens of millions of people?
Jia Qiang waved his hand and said: Master, this is actually nothing new, nor is it a minister able to do it. If you invite the owner of the Thirteen corps of Yangcheng, Guangdong Province and delegate power with great trust, he will probably do better than what he has done. I am just a half-baked business method, and in the eyes of Shanxi merchants, Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants and Guangdong merchants, I am afraid that I can't even be considered Zhongping.
Emperor Long'an turned black and said: You can't even be a Zhongping, so what are the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Are they all stupid as pigs and dogs?
Li Xuan: ...
He looked at Jia Qiang with a bad look, feeling deeply offended.
Seeing Jia Qiang a little embarrassed, Yin Hou smiled and comforted: "After all, you are young, although your husband and Han Xiang are committed to reforming the government and urge officials from other provinces to collect taxes by taking the exam to fill the national treasury."But the money the court wanted was not the kind of money the merchants had.If they take the merchant's money and pay the officials a salary, letting them know that someone would rather starve to death than take a look at the money.
Jia Qiang, even I understand this principle, why should you underestimate yourself?The emperor wants you to be the Minister of the Office of the Interior, not only because you can make money, but also because you favor and trust you. Don’t put the cart before the horse.
What else can Jia Qiang say? He can only thank him, and then he said truthfully: Emperor, I really have the confidence to make the Ministry of Internal Affairs the number one business in the world. But the emperor also needs to send someone who is really greedy, corruption and randomly reaching out to the money shop to urge the money shop to strictly abide by the rules, even to the point where even the Military Affairs Office and the Emperor cannot change it at will. As long as you do this, I can guarantee that within a hundred years, the Tian family will no longer have any worries about being short of silver. I actually suggest that the Empress be the supervisor...
Queen Yin was obviously shocked when she heard this. After opening her eyes wide, she looked at Jia Qiang, then turned to Emperor Long'an and smiled: Is there anyone more bolder than him?
Jia Qiang hurriedly added: Empress, I am not talking nonsense, and Empress has such strict requirements on the Yin family.Today I went to the Prince's Mansion of Kehuai County and Kerong County Prince's Mansion. The prince beat the Queen and told the Queen that the Queen was a little disappointed when she knew what they had done. They did not say a word and returned the money taken from the Ministry of Revenue, and stated that they would cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a land investigation of the Wangzhuang.Therefore, I believe that if the Empress is the chief owner of the money house of the Interior Government, she will definitely prevent others from reaching out to the greatest extent.
What else Queen Yin wanted to say, but Emperor Long'an waved his hand and said to Jia Qiang: Since I have handed over the Office of the Internal Affairs to you and Li Xuan, what should I do? Which one should I ask to be the owner of this boss... You can do it yourself. Anyway, don’t make trouble for me... I’m relieved if there is a queen watching you. For Emperor Long'an, there is nothing big about it except the new policy.
The so-called master of the boss seems to him to be no different from a child's play.
Now that the great power of the six palaces of Yin Hou has been handed over to Jia Yuanchun, there is no need to accompany him to read the memorials at night. He is organizing various light medicinal meals every day, or asking him to go to the back garden on time to exercise his muscles and bones.
He saw all these and was very satisfied with them, so he was so happy to see Li Xuan and Jia Qiang, two juniors, making some fresh things to entertain their relatives.
After a pause, Emperor Longan glanced at Dai Quan and asked Jia Qiang again: At this point, you send the Jia family's family and the daughter of Lin Aiqing to the ship to go south. Jia Qiang... Those people even dare to surround and kill my embroidered guard commander.Until now, the case has not been solved and it is difficult to find clues... Are you not afraid that someone will lose his mind and attack your ship?
Jia Qiang smiled when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, if you travel by land, then I really don't dare." But walking the waterway... I am now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I have recently sent three thousand households, twelve hundred households, and their most profitable confidant assistants to the south. In addition, over the past year, I have invested more silver in the canal than a mountain of gold, and have a good relationship with the Cao Gang... After all, the thief cannot be on the table, and it would be fine if he doesn't show up. If he shows up, I will definitely get rid of this great harm for the emperor and avenge Wei Yong! I don’t believe that those ghosts and monsters who hide under the ground and dare not show them can become a great climate!
When Emperor Long'an heard this, he looked at Jia Qiang who was full of energy and nodded slowly, and said to Queen Yin: Looking at them, I always feel that I am old...
Li Xuan rarely gave up his courage to comfort Emperor Long'an and said: Father, either you are old or even if you go back for another thirty years, you will not be as bragging as he does!
Emperor Longan hummed, and after Yin Houze glanced at Li Xuan, he smiled and advised: Your Majesty, don’t blame the children. It’s rare that he can be so honest and tell the emperor everything he thinks.Although I don’t know the affairs of the government ahead, I think those ministers will definitely not be like Jia Qiang, and are willing to tell the emperor all their plans clearly.I think it's rare and really good.She looked at Jia Qiang, and it was obvious that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Emperor Long'an smiled and said: OK! Since the queen speaks for him like this, I won’t say much.
After saying that, he looked at Li Xuan and asked: Are you still going to Li Xiao and Li Shi’s mansion today?
Li Xuan laughed dryly and nodded and said: Several old Wang and Duke in the royal family were talking sarcastic, saying that the third brother and the fourth brother were not much in the Interior Office. Let’s see if the son minister and Jia Qiang can deal with it impartially. The son minister had no choice but to ask for the third brother and the fourth brother’s mansion.Fortunately, they are both reasonable and supportive of Erchen and Jia Qiang's chores.Father, now there is no need to issue treasury bonds. The money collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is enough to lend it to the Ministry of Revenue.
Emperor Long'an whined without comment and asked again: What do you say from Prince Ning's Mansion?
Ning Li Xi was the previous minister in charge of the Office of the Interior. When the Emperor was still alive, Li Xi and Li Chun and Li Ming, sons of the Prince of Yiping, were both regular guests of Jiuhua Palace.
In contrast, except for Li Shi, the other brothers, Li Xuan, were not favored by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
King Ning Li Xi was the most favored, so he took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even after Emperor Long'an ascended the throne, his position did not change. Until a few months before the death of the Supreme Emperor, he resigned from the position of General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It is conceivable how much Li Xi has made in the Interior Office...
After hearing what Emperor Long'an said, Jia Qiang was silent. Li Xuan whispered: Father, Jia Qiang was originally planning to take the embroidered yarn guard, but he was forced to stop him...
When Emperor Long'an heard this, he raised his eyebrows gently, and Yin Hou's eyes were also condensed...
Emperor Long'an asked in a deep voice: Why did you stop Jia Qiang?You even dare to take people from your third and fourth brothers’ mansions, but you dare not go to the Ning Prince’s Mansion?
Li Xuan hurriedly explained: When Father, Erchen and Jia Qiang went to the third and fourth brothers' mansions, they did not dare to bring the embroidered guards. Erchen borrowed the sign of his mother's queen, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten them?As for Brother Ning... I always feel that Brother Ning's identity is different. Many people in the court treat him differently. Didn't the father treat him three more than other royal children?The son-in-law couldn't figure out the situation with Brother Ning, so he pressed Jia Qiang and refused to let him go there.
Emperor Long'an narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Xuan for a moment, turned to Jia Qiang, and asked: Are you going to go to Prince Ning's Mansion?
Jia Qiang nodded and said: I also know the so-called title of the so-called emperor's son and grandson... But I am a little confused. Prince Lao Yizhong was deposed for his mistakes. As the son of a sinner, the emperor gave him the title of king and treated him kindly. It has been considered that the benevolence and righteousness have been done. What else should I do? He was greedy and went to the Interior Office to corruption, which made him disappoint the emperor's kindness. Could it be that he would let him go? What's the point!
Li Xuan cursed in a low voice: You know nothing!Li Xi… In short, it’s very troublesome!It’s not important to beat King Zhongshun, but if King Ning is moved...
Jia Qiang asked: He violated the national law, so what can I do if I touch him?
Li Xuan laughed and scolded: Apart from being smart about money, your mind is not as good as me!He turned around and said to Emperor Long'an: Father, my son said he was not convinced by Jia Qiang, please teach him a lesson!
Emperor Long'an shouted, although there was no smile on his face, there was a rare smile and said: It is rare that Xiao Wu also teaches others... The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in deficit, so that's all. What should be recovered is recovered and all those who should be compensated. You can also discuss how to adjust the officials of the Third Hospital and the Seventh Department. In addition, support the money house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You don't need to pay attention to the rest. Jia Qiang, when dealing with matters of honorary officials, be sure to be cautious. I believe you understand what I mean.
After saying that, Emperor Long'an said to Queen Yin: I'm going back first, and there are still a few not approved.
Queen Yin hurriedly led Jia Qiang and Li Xuan to see him off. After Emperor Long'an left, Queen Yin turned around, stared at Jia Qiang with a phoenix eye, and said with a smile: You bad thing, why didn't the emperor tell me that I would invite me to be the head of the Money House of the Interior Government?
Li Xuan said unsatisfiedly: I will flatter my father... Dragon fart!Such a thing should be said by my master!I am the first general secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you can be ranked second at most!
Jia Qiang ignored this grandson and said to Queen Yin: Empress, I have also had a sudden idea, not deliberately planning it.But now I feel that the Empress is becoming more and more suitable for this position.
Queen Yin returned to the phoenix couch and sat down. The moment she bent down, Jia Qiang lowered her eyes...
After sitting right after Yin Hou was sitting, he saw Li Xuan staring at Jia Qiang, and couldn't help but say curiously: What are Wu'er looking at?
Li Xuan smiled and said: Mother, Jia Qiang actually blushed. It can be seen that he was saying flattering words, and even he felt ashamed!Otherwise, how could you blush?
Jia Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth and said: It’s the earth dragon that burns too hot!The prince is thinking too much... Doesn't the prince think that the queen is the most suitable position?
Li Xuan shook his head and said: I don’t want my mother to fall into a dispute. The money house will inevitably provoke many lawsuits. Why bother my mother’s quietness?
Jia Qiang didn't say much when he heard this. Queen Yin looked at the two of them and said with a smile: I will think about this matter. It's getting late, so you can leave the palace.
……
After leaving the imperial city, more than a hundred personal guards beside Jia Qiang and more than a hundred royal guards beside Li Xuan, protecting the front, back, left and right.
In the dark, there are also embroidered guards and guards from the CRRC Mansion hidden, waiting for the appearance of an assassin who is unknown if it exists...
Li Xuan ignored this kind of thing. Seeing Jia Qiang frowning a little impatiently, he advised: Just bear with it, the people behind the scenes will not be able to hide forever. Sooner or later, be more brisk after killing them.Jia Qiang, after finishing this time, will you really go out to hunt?
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Of course, I haven’t hunted well yet.As he said that, he squeezed at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately reacted, chuckled and said: Interesting!Such a stubborn thing, I naturally have to go there too.
Jia Qiang laughed and said: Let’s finish the errand first...
Li Xuan laughed, but tied the reins, moved the yellow horse to Jia Qiang for a moment, and lowered his voice: Jia Qiang, when are you going to do it over the Yun family? Don’t be too late. What if the girl is suffering from lovesickness and can’t sleep even if she misses her food, what can she do?
Jia Qiang smiled angrily and said: It’s not that I won’t go, I really can’t think of how to get that Yun family girl out.Prince, this is not a joke!
Li Xuan said anxiously: Why can’t you think of it?Your imperial concubine is very good to the nobles of the Yun family, and I think I will come to the Yun family and I will not know about it.If you come to ask for it, the Yun family will not refuse to give it to you!As expected, the head of Xunyun family went to hint that his family would definitely give it.Jia Qiang, this matter has been done. I promise to give you three top wet ladies!
Fart, don’t get any bad!
Jia Qiang cursed angrily.
Li Xuan smiled and said: In this way, if you do this, I will find a good job for the big fool of the Xue family in the Office of the Internal Affairs, so that he will not be able to jump around like a headless flies all day long. What?
Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment and said: How is the prince going to settle the girl of the Yun family?If you abandon it all the time, or turn back and let the princess kill it... then I won't do this unethical thing.
Bullshit!
Li Xuan cursed: Who are you? No matter what, I will not treat my woman badly, let alone the woman I like! The reason why I can't take it back to the palace is because of the relationship between the people of Yungui. Their generation is wrong. This is the sister of Yungui... If my father knew about it, I would probably be able to kill me with one hand... Didn't you tell you that you can buy a house near your house and take care of you, so I'm more at ease. However, you are not allowed to go when I am not here.
Jia Qiang said angrily: You need to say this?
While speaking, when he reached the fork in the road, Li Xuan reminded him: Hurry up!
Then he took people back to the palace.
Jia Qiang also took people to the west city, but did not go back to Ning Mansion directly, but went to Xue's house.
……
Ningfu Back Street, Xianger Hutong.
Xue Yue's house.
When Jia Qiang lifted up the half-old red soft curtain and came in, Baochai was the only one in the room.
Jia Qiang was not easy to sit down and asked: Why is the only sister at home?
Baochai was doing needlework on the kang, holding a dark and greasy bun on her head, wearing a honey-colored cotton jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver mouse shoulder jacket, and a green onion and yellow silk cotton skirt. It was half new and not old, and it looked luxurious.
The lips are red without touching, the eyebrows are green without drawing, the eyes are like water apricots, and the skin is like snow.
Hearing the voice, Baochai raised her head and looked at her in confusion. After seeing that it was Jia Qiang, she hurriedly got up and smiled: Why is Brother Qiang coming?My mother was called by the old lady to wipe her dominoes, and my son hasn't come back yet.My brother also went out and said he had gone to have a drink with a man named Feng Ziying, and he had not come back yet... While saying that, he also looked at Jia Qiang quietly and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown, a bullfighting suit, a sword hanging on his waist, and a blue satin dragon-weaving pattern soap boots.
Her eyebrows and eyes are handsome, her face is as tall as jade, and her body is as straight as pine, with a heroic spirit. Finally, she smiled: Brother Qiang has something to do?Sit down quickly.
Jia Qiang hesitated for a while, and sat down next to the kang. When he saw Baochai go to the table to pour tea, he said: I just met Ying'er, and she didn't say that only her sister was at home.
Baochai smiled and said, Ying'er has been scolded by you, and has always been afraid of you.
As he said that, he brought tea over and gave it to Jia Qiang.
A faint fragrance came recently. Jia Qiang smiled, took the tea and ate it, and then put it on the kang table. He said strangely: Have I been scolding her?She is your girl, and you should train her if you want to.
Baochai smiled and said: It was because of Xiangling's affairs. She had misunderstood, but later I scolded her.
Jia Qiang remembered and smiled: Xiangling was given to me by Brother Xue at that time. She served me to rest at night, but in fact she didn't do anything... I got up early and went out for morning exercises, but when I came back, I saw Ying'er beating Xiangling. It was also for the sake of my sister that I didn’t beat her.
Speaking of this, Baochai had a pretty face and shook her head and said: I really don’t know how to mention the things my brother did.Brother Qiang comes to find my brother. Is there anything wrong?
Jia Qiang nodded and said: I just came back from the palace. The Office of the Interior has some good jobs, so I want to come and ask Brother Xue, but I want to work as a job in the Office of the Interior.It's about to be a wedding, and it's not a serious matter when I'm always swaying outside.If you have an errand, your concubine and Bao sister will feel more at ease.But since Brother Xue is not here, I will come back and ask.
When Baochai heard this, Qingming's eyes stared at Jia Qiang in a daze until he was about to get up and leave. She was inexplicably panicked and her heart was filled with the words her brother had said. When Jia Qiang left with a smile, she blurted out: Brother Qiang, wait.
……
As soon as Emperor Long'an arrived outside the east warm pavilion of the side hall, he stopped Zhaorong Caipin's greetings when he heard strange screams coming from inside...
Today... I drink a celebratory wine... I have not fulfilled my ambitions... I will never stop!
This unpretentious and strange voice made Emperor Longan twitch the corners of his mouth, and his face gradually became strange.

At Yin Hou’s request, Jia Qiang finally started singing:
Today I drink the celebration wine, and I will never stop until my ambitions are fulfilled!The future will show your skills and be willing to shed your blood to write about the Spring and Autumn Period!
Just four short sentences, very simple plays? In fact, it can't even be called Peking Opera, it's just a model opera from a certain period...
And what you often hear in the palace now?A Kunqu opera can be divided into seven or eight allusions in one sentence, not to mention one table.

Queen Yin looked at Jia Qiang? He smiled with a pursed lips: Jia Qiang? Your ambitions are not fulfilled? What ambitions are not fulfilled?

Queen Yin was obviously shocked when she heard this. After opening her eyes wide, she looked at Jia Qiang, then turned to Emperor Long'an and smiled: Is there anyone more bolder than him?
Jia Qiang hurriedly added: Empress, I am not talking nonsense, and Empress has such strict requirements on the Yin family.Today I went to the Prince's Mansion of Kehuai County and Kerong County Prince's Mansion. The prince beat the Queen and told the Queen that the Queen was a little disappointed when she knew what they had done. They did not say a word and returned the money taken from the Ministry of Revenue, and stated that they would cooperate with the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a land investigation of the Wangzhuang.Therefore, I believe that if the Empress is the chief owner of the money house of the Interior Government, she will definitely prevent others from reaching out to the greatest extent.
What else Queen Yin wanted to say, but Emperor Long'an waved his hand and said to Jia Qiang: Since I have handed over the Office of the Internal Affairs to you and Li Xuan, what should I do? Which one should I ask to be the owner of this boss... You can do it yourself. Anyway, don’t make trouble for me... I’m relieved if there is a queen watching you. For Emperor Long'an, there is nothing big about it except the new policy.
The so-called master of the boss seems to him to be no different from a child's play.
Now that the great power of the six palaces of Yin Hou has been handed over to Jia Yuanchun, there is no need to accompany him to read the memorials at night. He is organizing various light medicinal meals every day, or asking him to go to the back garden on time to exercise his muscles and bones.
He saw all these and was very satisfied with them, so he was so happy to see Li Xuan and Jia Qiang, two juniors, making some fresh things to entertain their relatives.
After a pause, Emperor Longan glanced at Dai Quan and asked Jia Qiang again: At this point, you send the Jia family's family and the daughter of Lin Aiqing to the ship to go south. Jia Qiang... Those people even dare to surround and kill my embroidered guard commander.Until now, the case has not been solved and it is difficult to find clues... Are you not afraid that someone will lose his mind and attack your ship?
Jia Qiang smiled when he heard this and said, "Your Majesty, if you travel by land, then I really don't dare." But walking the waterway... I am now the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and I have recently sent three thousand households, twelve hundred households, and their most profitable confidant assistants to the south. In addition, over the past year, I have invested more silver in the canal than a mountain of gold, and have a good relationship with the Cao Gang... After all, the thief cannot be on the table, and it would be fine if he doesn't show up. If he shows up, I will definitely get rid of this great harm for the emperor and avenge Wei Yong! I don’t believe that those ghosts and monsters who hide under the ground and dare not show them can become a great climate!
When Emperor Long'an heard this, he looked at Jia Qiang who was full of energy and nodded slowly, and said to Queen Yin: Looking at them, I always feel that I am old...
Li Xuan rarely gave up his courage to comfort Emperor Long'an and said: Father, either you are old or even if you go back for another thirty years, you will not be as bragging as he does!
Emperor Longan hummed, and after Yin Houze glanced at Li Xuan, he smiled and advised: Your Majesty, don’t blame the children. It’s rare that he can be so honest and tell the emperor everything he thinks.Although I don’t know the affairs of the government ahead, I think those ministers will definitely not be like Jia Qiang, and are willing to tell the emperor all their plans clearly.I think it's rare and really good.She looked at Jia Qiang, and it was obvious that the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Emperor Long'an smiled and said: OK! Since the queen speaks for him like this, I won’t say much.
After saying that, he looked at Li Xuan and asked: Are you still going to Li Xiao and Li Shi’s mansion today?
Li Xuan laughed dryly and nodded and said: Several old Wang and Duke in the royal family were talking sarcastic, saying that the third brother and the fourth brother were not much in the Interior Office. Let’s see if the son minister and Jia Qiang can deal with it impartially. The son minister had no choice but to ask for the third brother and the fourth brother’s mansion.Fortunately, they are both reasonable and supportive of Erchen and Jia Qiang's chores.Father, now there is no need to issue treasury bonds. The money collected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is enough to lend it to the Ministry of Revenue.
Emperor Long'an whined without comment and asked again: What do you say from Prince Ning's Mansion?
Ning Li Xi was the previous minister in charge of the Office of the Interior. When the Emperor was still alive, Li Xi and Li Chun and Li Ming, sons of the Prince of Yiping, were both regular guests of Jiuhua Palace.
In contrast, except for Li Shi, the other brothers, Li Xuan, were not favored by the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
King Ning Li Xi was the most favored, so he took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even after Emperor Long'an ascended the throne, his position did not change. Until a few months before the death of the Supreme Emperor, he resigned from the position of General Manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
It is conceivable how much Li Xi has made in the Interior Office...
After hearing what Emperor Long'an said, Jia Qiang was silent. Li Xuan whispered: Father, Jia Qiang was originally planning to take the embroidered yarn guard, but he was forced to stop him...
When Emperor Long'an heard this, he raised his eyebrows gently, and Yin Hou's eyes were also condensed...
Emperor Long'an asked in a deep voice: Why did you stop Jia Qiang?You even dare to take people from your third and fourth brothers’ mansions, but you dare not go to the Ning Prince’s Mansion?
Li Xuan hurriedly explained: When Father, Erchen and Jia Qiang went to the third and fourth brothers' mansions, they did not dare to bring the embroidered guards. Erchen borrowed the sign of his mother's queen, otherwise they wouldn't have beaten them?As for Brother Ning... I always feel that Brother Ning's identity is different. Many people in the court treat him differently. Didn't the father treat him three more than other royal children?The son-in-law couldn't figure out the situation with Brother Ning, so he pressed Jia Qiang and refused to let him go there.
Emperor Long'an narrowed his eyes, looked at Li Xuan for a moment, turned to Jia Qiang, and asked: Are you going to go to Prince Ning's Mansion?
Jia Qiang nodded and said: I also know the so-called title of the so-called emperor's son and grandson... But I am a little confused. Prince Lao Yizhong was deposed for his mistakes. As the son of a sinner, the emperor gave him the title of king and treated him kindly. It has been considered that the benevolence and righteousness have been done. What else should I do? He was greedy and went to the Interior Office to corruption, which made him disappoint the emperor's kindness. Could it be that he would let him go? What's the point!
Li Xuan cursed in a low voice: You know nothing!Li Xi… In short, it’s very troublesome!It’s not important to beat King Zhongshun, but if King Ning is moved...
Jia Qiang asked: He violated the national law, so what can I do if I touch him?
Li Xuan laughed and scolded: Apart from being smart about money, your mind is not as good as me!He turned around and said to Emperor Long'an: Father, my son said he was not convinced by Jia Qiang, please teach him a lesson!
Emperor Long'an shouted, although there was no smile on his face, there was a rare smile and said: It is rare that Xiao Wu also teaches others... The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in deficit, so that's all. What should be recovered is recovered and all those who should be compensated. You can also discuss how to adjust the officials of the Third Hospital and the Seventh Department. In addition, support the money house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You don't need to pay attention to the rest. Jia Qiang, when dealing with matters of honorary officials, be sure to be cautious. I believe you understand what I mean.
After saying that, Emperor Long'an said to Queen Yin: I'm going back first, and there are still a few not approved.
Queen Yin hurriedly led Jia Qiang and Li Xuan to see him off. After Emperor Long'an left, Queen Yin turned around, stared at Jia Qiang with a phoenix eye, and said with a smile: You bad thing, why didn't the emperor tell me that I would invite me to be the head of the Money House of the Interior Government?
Li Xuan said unsatisfiedly: I will flatter my father... Dragon fart!Such a thing should be said by my master!I am the first general secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and you can be ranked second at most!
Jia Qiang ignored this grandson and said to Queen Yin: Empress, I have also had a sudden idea, not deliberately planning it.But now I feel that the Empress is becoming more and more suitable for this position.
Queen Yin returned to the phoenix couch and sat down. The moment she bent down, Jia Qiang lowered her eyes...
After sitting right after Yin Hou was sitting, he saw Li Xuan staring at Jia Qiang, and couldn't help but say curiously: What are Wu'er looking at?
Li Xuan smiled and said: Mother, Jia Qiang actually blushed. It can be seen that he was saying flattering words, and even he felt ashamed!Otherwise, how could you blush?
Jia Qiang pulled the corner of his mouth and said: It’s the earth dragon that burns too hot!The prince is thinking too much... Doesn't the prince think that the queen is the most suitable position?
Li Xuan shook his head and said: I don’t want my mother to fall into a dispute. The money house will inevitably provoke many lawsuits. Why bother my mother’s quietness?
Jia Qiang didn't say much when he heard this. Queen Yin looked at the two of them and said with a smile: I will think about this matter. It's getting late, so you can leave the palace.
……
After leaving the imperial city, more than a hundred personal guards beside Jia Qiang and more than a hundred royal guards beside Li Xuan, protecting the front, back, left and right.
In the dark, there are also embroidered guards and guards from the CRRC Mansion hidden, waiting for the appearance of an assassin who is unknown if it exists...
Li Xuan ignored this kind of thing. Seeing Jia Qiang frowning a little impatiently, he advised: Just bear with it, the people behind the scenes will not be able to hide forever. Sooner or later, be more brisk after killing them.Jia Qiang, after finishing this time, will you really go out to hunt?
Jia Qiang smiled and said: Of course, I haven’t hunted well yet.As he said that, he squeezed at Li Xuan.
Li Xuan immediately reacted, chuckled and said: Interesting!Such a stubborn thing, I naturally have to go there too.
Jia Qiang laughed and said: Let’s finish the errand first...
Li Xuan laughed, but tied the reins, moved the yellow horse to Jia Qiang for a moment, and lowered his voice: Jia Qiang, when are you going to do it over the Yun family? Don’t be too late. What if the girl is suffering from lovesickness and can’t sleep even if she misses her food, what can she do?
Jia Qiang smiled angrily and said: It’s not that I won’t go, I really can’t think of how to get that Yun family girl out.Prince, this is not a joke!
Li Xuan said anxiously: Why can’t you think of it?Your imperial concubine is very good to the nobles of the Yun family, and I think I will come to the Yun family and I will not know about it.If you come to ask for it, the Yun family will not refuse to give it to you!As expected, the head of Xunyun family went to hint that his family would definitely give it.Jia Qiang, this matter has been done. I promise to give you three top wet ladies!
Fart, don’t get any bad!
Jia Qiang cursed angrily.
Li Xuan smiled and said: In this way, if you do this, I will find a good job for the big fool of the Xue family in the Office of the Internal Affairs, so that he will not be able to jump around like a headless flies all day long. What?
Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment and said: How is the prince going to settle the girl of the Yun family?If you abandon it all the time, or turn back and let the princess kill it... then I won't do this unethical thing.
Bullshit!
Li Xuan cursed: Who are you? No matter what, I will not treat my woman badly, let alone the woman I like! The reason why I can't take it back to the palace is because of the relationship between the people of Yungui. Their generation is wrong. This is the sister of Yungui... If my father knew about it, I would probably be able to kill me with one hand... Didn't you tell you that you can buy a house near your house and take care of you, so I'm more at ease. However, you are not allowed to go when I am not here.
Jia Qiang said angrily: You need to say this?
While speaking, when he reached the fork in the road, Li Xuan reminded him: Hurry up!
Then he took people back to the palace.
Jia Qiang also took people to the west city, but did not go back to Ning Mansion directly, but went to Xue's house.
……
Ningfu Back Street, Xianger Hutong.
Xue Yue's house.
When Jia Qiang lifted up the half-old red soft curtain and came in, Baochai was the only one in the room.
Jia Qiang was not easy to sit down and asked: Why is the only sister at home?
Baochai was doing needlework on the kang, holding a dark and greasy bun on her head, wearing a honey-colored cotton jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver mouse shoulder jacket, and a green onion and yellow silk cotton skirt. It was half new and not old, and it looked luxurious.
The lips are red without touching, the eyebrows are green without drawing, the eyes are like water apricots, and the skin is like snow.
Hearing the voice, Baochai raised her head and looked at her in confusion. After seeing that it was Jia Qiang, she hurriedly got up and smiled: Why is Brother Qiang coming?My mother was called by the old lady to wipe her dominoes, and my son hasn't come back yet.My brother also went out and said he had gone to have a drink with a man named Feng Ziying, and he had not come back yet... While saying that, he also looked at Jia Qiang quietly and saw that he was wearing a purple gold crown, a bullfighting suit, a sword hanging on his waist, and a blue satin dragon-weaving pattern soap boots.
Her eyebrows and eyes are handsome, her face is as tall as jade, and her body is as straight as pine, with a heroic spirit. Finally, she smiled: Brother Qiang has something to do?Sit down quickly.
Jia Qiang hesitated for a while, and sat down next to the kang. When he saw Baochai go to the table to pour tea, he said: I just met Ying'er, and she didn't say that only her sister was at home.
Baochai smiled and said, Ying'er has been scolded by you, and has always been afraid of you.
As he said that, he brought tea over and gave it to Jia Qiang.
A faint fragrance came recently. Jia Qiang smiled, took the tea and ate it, and then put it on the kang table. He said strangely: Have I been scolding her?She is your girl, and you should train her if you want to.
Baochai smiled and said: It was because of Xiangling's affairs. She had misunderstood, but later I scolded her.
Jia Qiang remembered and smiled: Xiangling was given to me by Brother Xue at that time. She served me to rest at night, but in fact she didn't do anything... I got up early and went out for morning exercises, but when I came back, I saw Ying'er beating Xiangling. It was also for the sake of my sister that I didn’t beat her.
Speaking of this, Baochai had a pretty face and shook her head and said: I really don’t know how to mention the things my brother did.Brother Qiang comes to find my brother. Is there anything wrong?
Jia Qiang nodded and said: I just came back from the palace. The Office of the Interior has some good jobs, so I want to come and ask Brother Xue, but I want to work as a job in the Office of the Interior.It's about to be a wedding, and it's not a serious matter when I'm always swaying outside.If you have an errand, your concubine and Bao sister will feel more at ease.But since Brother Xue is not here, I will come back and ask.
When Baochai heard this, Qingming's eyes stared at Jia Qiang in a daze until he was about to get up and leave. She was inexplicably panicked and her heart was filled with the words her brother had said. When Jia Qiang left with a smile, she blurted out: Brother Qiang, wait.
