Li Yuan didn't have much contact with those officials in the capital, let alone those officials' wives.
She knew only a limited number of people, except for Miao Lisang, Ji Ming and Meng Peng.
Can't they go there and take office?
However, Ji Ming and Meng Peng were both third- and fourth-grade officials in the capital, and it was impossible for them to go to Dongfeng Mansion to serve as fourth-grade prefects.
Could it be Miao Lisheng?
I heard from Chen Miaomiao that she had been planning to escape, but it was impossible!
In his assessment years ago, he still stayed in the Hanlin Academy, but was promoted to a fifth-rank official.
The emperor just wanted to give her Xie Gela someone to help him, so he should also consider regional issues.
They were both from Xinyang Mansion, and one after another they went to Dongfeng Mansion.
Even if he agrees, those people below should not agree!
If it's not them, who could it be?
Just when Li Yuan was full of doubts, Xie Yanzhi held him tightly in his arms, and after a while, he said in a deep voice: "The person who went to take office this time is Brother Yun Jing, but he is not in his own name."
Li Yuan was startled, struggled out of his arms, and then asked repeatedly: "Brother Xie, what do you mean by this? You won't mess around, right?"
As far as she knew, Ying Lei had also participated in the joint examination and the palace examination before, and ranked in the top ten.
How come one of the top ten Jinshi became the prefect of a prefectural city, and it was not in his own name.
Could it be an imposter?
Wouldn't that be the crime of deceiving the emperor? If it is exposed by then, everyone will have to leave with a heavy bag.
Xie Yanzhi looked tired. He didn't even change his clothes. He just lay down on the bed, opened his eyes and stared at the top of the bed in a daze.
After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Yun Jing's situation was not very good after he returned. He has an elder brother in the family who previously served as a foreign minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Xie Yanzhi really didn't want to talk about the Ying family's affairs, but now he couldn't help it, so he revealed a few things.
"His brother took a beautiful concubine some time ago. The concubine was born in a flower house and had many tricks. She died immediately after that. This was a disgraceful thing, and the Ying family couldn't bear the position of a member of the household department. They also I want to push him up in two years, and then he will be the minister of the household department, and then the minister of the household department. In short, the Ying family attaches great importance to this heir. "
Li Yuan still doesn't know what house Ying Lei is from, so she asked: "Brother Xie, what house is Master Ying from?"
"Prince Anlin's Palace is the only remaining palace with a different surname in our Yun Kingdom. Although Yun Jing is not very old, he is a direct descendant. The one who died was the eldest son of a concubine."
"The concubine's eldest son's aunt is said to be the murderer of Yun Jing's mother. After that, King Anlin never married again, and all the food and clothing expenses of the palace were controlled by that concubine."
Li Yuan was a little confused. As far as she knew, these high-end mansions valued legitimate concubines. Before the eldest son is born, concubines and concubines are not allowed to be born.
Just like Zhenguohou Mansion.
Her aunt also gave birth to her cousin Zhou Caijing after Mrs. Hou gave birth to a son and a daughter.
Obviously Xie Yanzhi also understood Li Yuan's confusion, so he said: "Yun Jing had an eldest sister before him, but she died when she was seven years old. As for the eldest son of the concubine, he is the second in the family, so he is older than Yun Jing. Three years old.”
Li Yuan couldn't figure it out, so she said directly: "Brother Xie, don't talk about this first, just tell me directly what's going on. According to what you just said, Mr. Ying wants to go to Dongfeng Mansion in place of his brother. When you take office, you are still the prefect, right?"
"right!"
"Then he did it to someone else, but what about himself? How could he be willing to do this without fear of being exposed?"
"This matter is a bit complicated, but the emperor knows it, and it is also the result of the discussion between the emperor and King Anlin. The reason why Yun Jing agreed is that King Anlin agreed to remove his mother's bones from the Ying family's ancestral grave. Move out.”
When Li Yuan heard this, she didn't need to think about it. There were so many women, and then there was a big drama in the back house.
But when I think about him having to live in someone else's identity for the rest of his life, I can't help but feel a little distressed and feel sorry for him.
"Brother Xie, does Mr. Ying have to take over his elder brother's wives, concubines, and children? Can he marry another wife and have children? What about his original identity? He can't tell the outside world that he died, right?"
"Prince Anlin had many wives and concubines, but he only gave birth to two sons, and the two brothers looked quite similar. Now his body has long been hollowed out, and one of the two sons is gone, leaving only one who is not wanted. They want to To ensure the future prosperity of the palace, what choices do you think they will make?"
"I think it's a bit ridiculous. It's even more ridiculous that the emperor actually agrees."
"This matter was discussed by King Anlin when he entered the palace to discuss with the emperor. It is said that when he entered the palace, he also brought a gold medal for immunity from death. As for taking over his brother's wife, concubines and children, it was only for the outside world. This time Yun Jing set out, so he brought A maternal grandfather and his mother’s ashes and an old servant.”
Li Yuan suddenly felt that something was wrong. She remembered that her brother Xie said that diseases spread quickly in Dongfeng Mansion.
And it just so happened that Ying Lei's maternal grandfather was a doctor with excellent medical skills, and I heard before that he and his father's family were not at odds with each other.
The more she thought about it, the weirder she felt.
Couldn't these be designed by a few people jointly?
Then Ying Lei would agree, for what purpose? Is it just to retrieve his mother's bones?
While Li Yuan was thinking about this, Xie Yanzhi lay on the bed again, looking at the top of the bed and letting himself go.
No matter what, just appoint the prefect.
It doesn't matter that Yun Jing's health is not good, Yuan Niang has that kind of fairy water here, and when the time comes, he can feed him some without leaving any trace.
Li Yuan thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out some things, so she asked: "Brother Xie, why did the emperor agree to this ridiculous behavior? Is it just for the gold medal to avoid death?"
Hearing this, Xie Yanzhi turned to look at her: "Of course not! Brother Ziran said that the emperor had been dissatisfied with Prince Anlin for a long time, but it was just because he had the gold medal for immunity from death that nothing happened. Now that something has happened in Prince Anlin's palace, the only thing left is My son is not close to them, and he is forced to this point by them for the so-called glory and wealth. What do you think this palace will do in the future?"
When he said this, he said sarcastically with his eyes: "Maybe they are still complacent, thinking that because of Yun Jing's status, he must be filial to them, otherwise he is unfilial, etc. Maybe it's like giving alms and telling him. Everything he has now, It's all given by them. They can give it to him, and they can take it back, and then rake it up..."
When Li Yuan heard this, she already understood and asked immediately.
"Brother Xie, did you plan this? I want to know why King Anlin agreed to this matter of replacing identities? He doesn't understand the relationship between it?"
Xie Yanzhi looked at Li Yuan with a smile and suddenly said: "I wonder if Yuan Niang still remembers the master who was next to Qian Lianghui?"
