Jiang Yankun was sitting behind his desk, sighing for the 80th time. Jiang Junze took a Western magnifying glass and looked back and forth on a topographic map: "Dad, the land in Lingnan is too vast. Where can we find Miao people who know how to do witchcraft?"
And there are only four days left.
Officials from Pei Zhongshu's faction were eyeing him, not to mention helping him. Not standing in the way was the result of the emperor's warning.
"Sir, the Imperial Concubine is here."
The attendant reported outside the door, and Jiang Yankun immediately got up to greet her. At this time, if her daughter was not with the emperor, she had more important things to do, and she could not delay for a moment.
In the front hall, Mrs. Ruan and Jiang Xinyan accompanied Jiang Xinyue, and her aunt Sun and her two cousins accompanied her.
When Mrs. Sun saw Jiang Xinyue, she took her hand: "Sister Yue, how is the emperor? Are you okay?"
The Jiang family's incredible wealth is all due to sister Yue's favor. If the emperor dies, it will not be good for them!
The fight for the right to inherit the rightful son was a matter of life and death. Sun believed that the Jiang family did not yet have the strength to compete with the Chengguo Duke's Palace and the Pei family.
As long as the emperor is alive, it will be good if he can develop a few more times.
This idea coincides with Jiang Xinyue's.
"If something happens, I won't be here."
The entire Jiang family was in panic, but because of Jiang Xinyue's words, they seemed to be calmed down instantly.
"Why are you here?"
The garden was full of servants. Jiang Yankun didn't want any small details to ruin him, so he quickly saluted. Jiang Xinyue quickly supported him: "Father, there's no need to be polite. I'm here to give him directions." of."
What direction did she come to point in?
Jiang Junze reacted faster than the cheap dad. When he said he was here to give directions, he hurriedly handed over the rough map in his hand.
"Bring me a pen."
Jiang Junze ran to the study again and personally brought the inkstone and wolf brush: "Sister, here they are!"
The young man's eyes were bright, and he did not distance himself from his sister just because she was the imperial concubine that everyone respected. In his heart, his sister would always be the anchor of their family.
My sister will always protect my mother, my second sister, and him.
But now that he has grown up, one day he will be able to protect his sister and her children and become her support and confidence.
Jiang Xinyue touched his head, took the map, and barely found the route from Qinzhou to Jingzhou.
Jingzhou at this time was the Hunan area in later generations, and the Miao Village in Xiangxi, Hunan was also a must-visit place on the way to Fenghuang Ancient City in later generations.
Before entering the Miao village, the tour guide also gave numerous warnings. After entering the village, you are not allowed to accept food and water from others, you are not allowed to chat with the local residents in the village, and you are not allowed to talk to the residents when entering their homes. Feet on the door frame.
It is said that this is a taboo for the Miao people and will be considered disrespectful and provocative to them.
Drawing circles on several Miao gathering places passed down from later generations, Jiang Xinyue said to her father: "Father, please send people to search separately, and leave this route to Tang Shiliang and let him find it."
Wang Dequan was a royalist through and through. Tang Shiliang was young, ambitious, and not crooked in his thinking. When neither the emperor nor Wang De knew about it, Jiang Xinyue had already formed an alliance with Tang Shiliang.
It's just that the cooperation between them is very secretive, because until now, Jiang Xinyue has been promoting and helping Tang Shiliang, and she has never asked Tang Shiliang to help with anything.
The emperor is not a fool, and Wang Dequan is also a thief. Once she asks Tang Shiliang to help, she will be discovered soon.
This knife buried under the emperor's nose will come in handy at the most critical moment.
For the rest, there is no need to use a knife to kill a chicken.
Now, she wants to give Tang Shiliang another credit and let him try his luck.
"How did the empress know the location of the Miao people?"
Cheap dad's officialdom sensitivity is really used in the right place, and he is very good at focusing on key points.
The cheap dad also suspected that she wanted to slay the dragon, send the sixth prince to the throne, and govern from behind the curtain?
I really admire her. Her plan for herself is to be the most noble woman in the Yan Dynasty, and she can comfortably eat and die for the rest of her life. Why should she suffer from that?
Every day I watched Emperor Xuanwu deal with memorials, meet with ministers, allocate funds and conduct investigations for the development of various places. I worked hard and was exhausted.
There are very few long-lived emperors in history. Most of them died of exhaustion, right?
She worked so diligently in her later years just to make enough money and then just lie down.
Jiang Xinyue responded to Cheap Dad's question: "The palace has a rich collection of books, including all the rare books in the world. I have always liked reading miscellaneous geography, local customs and customs. In the two years since I entered the palace, I have read through all the libraries in the palace. After reading it all, you will naturally know more.”
She turned to Jiang Junze: "Brother Ze, if you have any books you want to read, you can tell me and I will give them to you."
As the emperor's favorite concubine, she still had this right.
Jiang Junze nodded: "When I need it, I'll ask dad to tell you."
He is still young. When he is older, he will be able to gain fame and become an official in the court, and he will be able to visit the palace frequently.
After a few words of greeting, Jiang Xinyue left in a hurry. There was no one in front of Emperor Xuanwu, so she was still worried.
Mrs. Sun looked uneasy: "My darling, is that Sister Yue? I see that she is completely different from the previous Sister Yue, tsk tsk tsk... Look at her demeanor, I don't know. I thought she was already the queen!"
She sighed and shook her head: "That's amazing! Yan Kun, I was in a hurry just now and forgot to say hello to the queen. Wouldn't the queen mind?"
Ruan smiled: "Sister Yue is not such a stingy child."
In the past, I took brother Ze back to his hometown to worship his ancestors, but he never looked down on people from the direct lineage like the Sun family.
Nowadays, everyone has learned to read their faces.
Sister Yue is right, as long as you can endure it, good times will come.
"Why don't you let me in? The emperor is in danger now. As the emperor's concubine, can't I even look at him?"
Outside the palace gate, Concubine Yu was arguing with Wang Dequan: "Why is the emperor sick? Is she, Jiang Xinyue, the boss? Does she have the right to decide for the emperor whether to see us or not?"
Outside the dormitory, headed by Concubine Yu, followed by a large number of concubines from the harem, even Liu Guiren, who had broken his waist, was carried over.
"Where is the Emperor? Did the Emperor say that he won't see us? This is not the royal concubine's room. Don't forget, Mr. Wang, that the Emperor is your master."
"Somebody come!"
Jiang Xinyue walked over quickly and supported Wang De, who was holding his back and being forced to retreat: "If you dare to disturb the emperor's recovery, kick them all out."
Yu Bin, this tough guy, was stimulated by someone's words and came here to act wild.
