"Asshole!"
Angry roars resounded in Zhaoyang Palace.
For Concubine Shu, who was born into a wealthy family and had been pampered since childhood, she could care less about many things, as long as Concubine De was not benefited.
But this time, Concubine De not only got the benefits, she also got it by stepping on their family's heads. How could she not be so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.
Leaning on the couch, breathing heavily, his chest heaved violently, making the auspicious clouds embroidered on his clothes seem to burst.
"Empress!"
A maid came in and said, "I have already chosen the clothes I will wear when I go to Changle Palace to pay my respects tomorrow. Do you want to take a look?"
Greetings?
Concubine Shu suddenly realized, yes, that bitch is in charge of the Phoenix Seal, and I have to pay her respects!
This is too much!
"Drag her down for me and slap her twenty times!"
Concubine Shu angrily vented her anger, the palace maids cried out in fear and begged for mercy, and the Zhaoyang Palace was in chaos.
——
"To pull out the teeth from the tiger's mouth, the future life will be terrible!"
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, in a waterside pavilion, a slender and lean man was stroking his beard and sighing with emotion.
He is about sixty years old, but nourished by power, he does not look old at all. Especially his eyes, like a deep pool, calmly facing the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the changes of wind, frost, rain and snow seem to reflect the reflection of the opposite side of him. of thousands of hearts.
This man was Prime Minister Qin Weizhong, who was under one person and over ten thousand people in the Great Xia court.
He succeeded the old Prime Minister Su and held the position of Prime Minister for several years. As the head of a hundred officials, he successfully united another faction in the court besides the Prince, Shu Fei and De Fei, the Prime Minister Faction.
The staff on the side smiled and agreed: "No wonder Xia Jingyun dared to refuse the young master's mediation at that time."
Mentioning his son, Qin Xiang also showed a somewhat proud smile on his face. Everyone said that he was a traitor, but his son was famous all over the world and praised by everyone. With a son like this, the Qin family should be proud of it. It is a century-old family.
But the current situation is not a good one!
He looked at the sky and sighed: "Heroes emerge in large numbers and heroes rise together. I don't know how long this world can be stable."
The expression on the staff's face changed slightly, and they immediately laughed, "You are Mingjun, and you have the Prime Minister and the Assistant. The young master is extremely talented. You and your son, one after another, should be able to suppress all the enemies in the world. That Xia Jingyun is just an occasional majestic figure, just like the river. Compared to Young Master, Zhongduo Duohua is still far behind. There can be no chaos in this world."
Prime Minister Qin was silent for a moment, obviously agreeing with these words.
After the accidental sigh, he immediately put away his carelessness and his tone became calm again, "Go and arrange for someone to make a recommendation and recommend the candidates for General Huben and the Minister of War."
The staff nodded in agreement, and then asked doubtfully: "Don't we need the Central Guard Army?"
Prime Minister Qin turned to look at him and said nothing. The staff quickly changed their expressions and bowed to retreat.
——
Mingyu Tower, top floor.
A maid walked up quickly, stood in front of a curtain, and said respectfully: "Miss."
The curtain is as light as cicada wings and dreamlike, reflecting the vaguely graceful silhouette of a woman.
"What's the matter?"
"That Mr. Xia was released from prison safely last night, and there are rumors that the British Mr. suffered a great loss. He was called into the palace by His Majesty and lost many important positions."
The curtain swayed gently in the breeze. After a while, a voice came from behind the curtain.
"Go to the Marquis of Jiang'an Mansion and give Mr. Xia a white jade plaque."
The maid was startled when she heard this. The white jade sign in Mingyu Tower is not an ordinary thing. With this sign, you can eat and drink at Mingyu Tower without spending a penny, regardless of the floor or time limit.
A meal in a private room on the third floor of Mingyu Tower costs at least a hundred taels of silver, or at most a thousand taels of silver. In addition, Mingyu Tower is known as a place where dignitaries are welcomed and sent off, so this white jade plaque is worth no less than three to five dollars. Ten thousand taels.
And the most important thing is that money can't buy this. You say that others have to pay for a treat, but you treat them for free as soon as you show your brand. Can this level and style be the same thing?
Many important officials in the DPRK do not receive this kind of treatment.
"Miss, is this too much?"
A soft voice came from behind the curtain, "If it's just a song from Ming Yulou presented to Wang Langzhong, it might still be open to debate, but now that we know he is Xia Jingyun, it's completely different."
"Whether it's the Ode to Autumn or the Qing Ping tune, as long as I write a similar poem, I will definitely be worthy of Ming Yu Tower. Not to mention the Shui tune song and the Yueyang Tower."
"I, Ming Yulou, did not intervene that day. Although he did not suffer any harm, after all, we did not do a good job, so we should apologize."
"Don't worry, make sure he picks up. If he can pick up, it's our Mingyu Tower that takes advantage, not him."
The maid never doubted her young lady's business acumen, so she immediately agreed, "Yes."
——
Just as the outside world was making a fuss, Xia Jingyun walked out of the palace, stroking his slightly bulging belly.
A visit to the palace yielded a lot.
There are some things that you cannot establish an accurate understanding of unless you see them in person.
Now that I have experienced it personally, my feelings in my heart are naturally different.
At this moment, he was soothed by his sister's smile and the delicacies in the imperial kitchen, and his mind gradually calmed down. He couldn't help but think that His Majesty has such a powerful mind and is so proficient in power. How great it would be if he could use it in national affairs!
But he was just obsessed with enjoying himself, and as a result, the world was in chaos.
But because of his emperor-like nature, few people dared to put the truth in front of him. As a result, he was intoxicated in the dream of a prosperous age by himself, and he didn't know whether to pity him or the whole world.
However, after this incident, he had a rough idea of His Majesty's temper. If anything happened in the future, the layout would be much more secure.
The carriage drove slowly back to Jiang'an Hou Mansion. Following the announcement from the servants, Su Yuanshang, Gongsun Jing and others immediately came to the main hall.
"Sir, what's wrong?"
Gongsun Jing couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked directly.
Xia Jingyun took a leisurely sip of tea, feeling relaxed and comfortable in his own territory, "What else can I do? Of course everything goes smoothly, otherwise I won't be able to come back!"
He teased with a smile, and Gongsun Jing on the side looked happy, "So, the captaincy of Jingzhao Mansion has been decided?"
Su Yuanshang was expressionless, and Xia Jingyun smiled, "Mr. Gongsun, do you think I have the courage or qualifications to bring this kind of matter to the table with His Majesty?"
Gongsun Jing smiled and said hesitantly: "What about this?"
Xia Jingyun drank the tea in the cup and stood up, "Just wait. If there is no news within a day, I will go find Han Fuyin."
This was just his speculation, but after all, Emperor Chongning had tested him so much, and it was impossible for him to express his thoughts. He didn't even leave it to his sister to persuade him in a roundabout way. He could only wait for this majesty, who was first-rate in power and skills, to Reward yourself.
Gongsun Jing frowned, doubtful, and looked at Xia Jingyun who was walking out of the main hall, "Sir, where are you going?"
"Mr. Gongsun, please prepare a carriage. I will go out later."
After walking out of the main hall of the mansion, Xia Jingyun went directly to the courtyard beside the white clouds.
In the yard, he looked at the book boy who was as weak as a girl and asked curiously: "Where is your young master?"
The book boy pointed to the inner room, and Xia Jingyun pushed the door open and walked in. He saw white clouds with hair standing high on end, tied by a rope hanging from the beam, holding a book, and nodded repeatedly as he read.
Xia Jingyun couldn't help but snicker, walked over and lifted the rope around Bai Yunbian's head.
"ah!"
Bai Yunbian's scalp hurt. He quickly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked at the book in his hand. Then he found Xia Jingyun standing next to him.
"what are you doing!"
"What are you doing?" Xia Jingyun said speechlessly: "Before, I taught you privately with your maid there every day, striving for excellence. Now that you come to my place, you start to play with your head, right?"
Bai Yunbian blushed, looked at Xia Jingyun, and said seriously: "Don't think that you are great just because you have achieved something now. In the future, I will definitely be far better than you! I have never been weaker than others in my life!"
Xia Jingyun rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him, "I want to go out to talk to someone about something. Do you want to go and see them together?"
"I won't go! I come from a family of officials. How can I be seen by an idle person?"
"The other party is the current Minister of Household Affairs."
"Brother Gao Yang, wait for me! Ouch!"
Bai Yunbian was so anxious that he forgot to untie his hair and staggered as it was pulled.
After struggling for a while, he freshened up again, walked out of Jiang'anhou Mansion with Xia Jingyun, and boarded the carriage.
Chen Fugui and Bai Yunbian's guards naturally followed behind them on horseback.
The coachman was from the Marquis Mansion, and he was naturally familiar with the roads in the capital city. He drove the coach steadily all the way to Jinli Lane, where the Hubu Yamen was located.
Then he passed a large group of queuing cars and parked directly outside the main entrance of Hubu Yamen.
"What are you doing! Didn't you see the queue? Do you understand the rules?"
Just as Xia Jingyun was about to get out of the car, the guard at the door stepped forward with a spear and scolded him!
Xia Jingyun turned his head and glanced at the still conspicuous mark of the Marquis of Jiang'an on the carriage, and his face turned cold.
