Jiang Yankun knew that today's scolding battle, which ended as quickly as possible, would reach the emperor's ears sooner or later.
Two idiots came here to impress him in front of the emperor, why wouldn't he do it?
The person the emperor can use with the greatest confidence is the lone minister, because the lone minister has no way out, and only by being loyal to the emperor can he survive.
The Jiang family was previously considered a wealthy businessman's family. They only had money but no power. They still had to rely on money to bribe officials from various places so that the family's business could run smoothly.
Later, Jiang Yankun became the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple in Beijing. However, this official position could also bring in money and wealth, but the official position did not have much real power and could not help the family much.
Just to put it bluntly, the Jiang family has an official, not a low-level merchant.
It wasn't until Jiang Xinyue entered the palace and received the emperor's favor alone, and Jiang Yankun was promoted to the second rank of Minister of Punishment, that only one member of the Jiang family achieved enlightenment, and their chickens and dogs ascended to heaven.
Even people from my hometown often write letters to thank Jiang Yankun. To be precise, they write to ask Jiang Yankun if Sister Yue in the palace needs anything.
As long as she needs it, just ask, even if it is a star in the sky, they can try to pick it for her.
When he was about to walk out of the palace, a reckless little eunuch suddenly bumped into Jiang Yankun. Just as he was about to help him up, the little eunuch picked up something on the ground and ran away while apologizing.
Jiang Yanxi clicked his tongue: "Why are there such slaves in the palace who don't understand the rules? Even if they bump into someone..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Yankun pulled him back: "Brother, I'm fine."
There was disapproval in his eyes, as if he had something to say.
Jiang Yanxi had no other abilities, but he was still good at observing people's emotions. He quickly shut up and hurried out of the palace with him and got into the carriage.
"Yan Kun, what happened? You just..."
Jiang Yankun lowered the car curtain to block the prying eyes of the outside world before taking his hand out of his sleeve. Along the sleeve, a letter slipped into his palm.
The handwriting on the envelope is...very sloppy...
If Jiang Yankun hadn't been Jiang Xinyue's father, he probably wouldn't have recognized that this was a letter written by his daughter.
Jiang Yanxi frowned and took the envelope from his hand. He looked left and right, up and down, and then looked at the oil lamp in the carriage and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What is this? What is written on it?" Is it a word? It’s like knocking over an inkstone, it’s all lumpy and you can’t tell what’s written at all.”
To be honest, the handwriting written by the three-year-old child of the Jiang family is easier to read than this.
Jiang Yankun was a little ashamed. He pointed at the four balls of black ink and said confidently: "Isn't this written? Father signed it personally."
Jiang Yanxi's eyes widened: "Is this...a letter written by Sister Yue to you?"
Jiang Yankun nodded with a dark face. She really didn't want to admit that her daughter could learn everything quickly, but she couldn't practice this handwriting well.
Before entering the palace, her handwriting was already somewhat elegant. He thought that given time, Sister Yue would be able to write beautiful hairpin regular script.
How come it’s only been two years since I saw her writing, and it’s already abstracted like this?
She doesn't belong to the feminine and graceful school, she is clearly bold and rough, her main focus is unrecognizable, she is a school of her own!
After finally reading the letter despite Jiang Yanxi's incomprehensible expression, Jiang Yankun became serious.
Jiang Yanxi looked at it for a long time and finally recognized only a few sentence fragments. He looked at the letter and then at Jiang Yankun's expression: "What does the letter say? Why do you look like this? Is Sister Yue here?" What happened in the palace?"
At least there are two officials in the Jiang family. Maybe they can help Sister Yue by cleaning up.
The glory of himself and even the Jiang family is tied to Sister Yue. One will be prosperous and one will suffer!
Jiang Yankun took a deep breath: "Sister Yue said that the sixth prince was almost killed by a conspiracy on the night of the full moon. It was the Zhu family who sprinkled white phosphorus powder on the nanny's clothes. She asked us to help her with something."
"What?"
Jiang Yanxi gritted his teeth and said: "The Zhu family is too arrogant. Their daughter is a queen, and our sister Yue is also a virtuous concubine. She is no worse than her. How dare they harm the sixth prince? That's too much! Yan Kun Tell me, what do you want us to do? Even if we, the Jiang family, use all our strength, we will help the sixth prince to avenge him."
"You don't need to use the whole family's efforts. I will send a dead soldier to sneak into Chang'an. You just need to make it convenient for the Jiang family merchants in Chang'an."
"Have you started raising death warriors?"
"Sister Yue asked me to raise her. She said there are some things that need to be done by a dead soldier to ensure absolute safety and privacy."
Jiang Yanxi suddenly looked like he had a sudden realization: "The Concubine Xian is really far-sighted. Even at my age, I am not as thoughtful as her. No wonder she can monopolize the Emperor's favor."
"Where did you start talking about this?"
"Look at her words..."
Jiang Yanxi snatched the two thin pieces of letter paper, pointed to the handwriting on them and said: "Even if this letter fell into the hands of the queen, the queen would not be able to recognize a single word. But you know Yan Kun, isn't that right? Has it become an exclusive text between you? In my opinion, there is no need for her to send it secretly. She can just send it in front of the Queen. If someone can recognize it, I will chop off the head and give it to her. Play like a football. Isn’t that thoughtful enough? Isn’t that awesome enough?”
Jiang Yankun was speechless for a moment...
Since it was Sister Yue who asked her father to raise dead soldiers, Jiang Yanxi thought, he would have to raise a few so that they could always come in handy in the future.
He rubbed his hands: "Yan Kun... where did you buy that... that dead soldier? Introduce a few to me!"
"You think that a dead soldier is just a cabbage! I..."
"Are they Mr. Jiang, the Minister of Punishment, and Mr. Jiang, the Young Minister of Honglu Temple, on the carriage?"
A soft male voice came from outside the carriage. Jiang Yankun quickly fell silent, coughed twice and said, "Exactly."
"This servant belongs to Chengqian Palace. In the name of the Emperor, I invite Mr. Jiang Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to go to the Imperial Study Room to discuss matters."
I didn't say it when I went to court just now, and I didn't say it when I left the court. I had to wait until everyone was gone before I said it quietly.
Jiang Yankun winked at Jiang Yanxi and signaled him to go quickly.
The emperor was also so mysterious when he asked him and Jiang Shangshu to bring down the Song family last time. This time he probably asked his cousin to do the same thing again.
That means that a corrupt official randomly selected by the emperor will be in bad luck, and his cousin will be promoted.
The weather in May is already a bit hot. Concubine De was given the right to co-manage the Sixth Palace yesterday. Early this morning, all the concubines from the harem came to Yanqing Palace to pay their respects to Concubine De.
Compared with Concubine Zhenxian who was still young when she was just a fledgling, Concubine De was obviously more powerful and popular.
Concubine De smiled and said that she did not dare to entrust her to the throne. Whoever holds the phoenix seal will be in charge of the harem.
So, while Jiang Xinyue was still teasing the child happily, word came from outside: "Your Majesty, the concubines from the harem are here to greet you."
