King Kang glanced sideways at Mr. Han, who was very utilitarian.
He originally selected Mr. Han as his staff because he was ambitious and could stir up the atmosphere in Prince Kang's palace.
But now, he feels that Mr. Han is a little too unscrupulous.
"Mr. Han, I know what you mean. You want me to take advantage of the opportunity when the Shen family goes to Jingxian's mansion tomorrow to show my face. However, my father has already beaten me. Princess Xian's mansion is Princess Xian's. The Lord’s Mansion, Prince Kang’s Mansion is Prince Kang’s Mansion, Princess Xian is Princess Xian, I am me, Father, I have a reasonable excuse to go, but if I go, I am just rushing to put a hot face on a cold butt.”
As soon as these words came out.
Mr. Han's expression changed drastically and he quickly apologized.
"Your Majesty, I didn't think carefully. This matter is indeed disrespectful. I will pay attention to it in the future."
He said it respectfully, but Mr. Han was inevitably anxious.
The greatest help to Prince Kang was that he was favored by His Majesty and had good relations with Ning Huangshang and the Shen family, Princess Xian.
Now Princess Xian is treated as a separate individual by His Majesty, and Prince Kang's Palace is not allowed to get involved. What does this mean?
This shows that Your Majesty does not value Prince Kang's Mansion at all, or in other words, who will win in the final battle for the crown prince, in His Majesty's opinion, cannot affect Princess Xian.
Mr. Han regretted why he did not choose to stay with Princess Xian, but chose to work for King Kang.
"Mr. Han, I think you have been too busy and tired recently and it's time to take a rest. It just so happens that Jingxian is short of a manager and things are easy. Why don't I recommend you to her?"
King Kang is not stupid.
There are some things that he just doesn't want to do, so he simply doesn't want to do them, but that doesn't mean that he can't see the selfish intentions of the people under his command.
Mr. Han knew that Prince Kang was dissatisfied with his performance just now, but because he was an old man in Prince Kang's palace, he had to be handled properly in order to convince the public, so he took advantage of the situation and suggested: "Your Majesty, why don't I go to the princess and serve as her adviser?"
"Jingxian has her own opinions. I can recommend her. Whether she succeeds or not depends on your performance."
King Kang's words made Mr. Han very satisfied.
In Mr. Han's opinion, Princess Xian is simple-minded and very easy to handle.
After leaving Prince Kang's Mansion, although he might lose one of his servants, Prince Kang was happy to give him away, so there was nothing to miss.
If you become Princess Xian's right-hand man, you will be more likely to be reused in the future. No matter how bad it is, the treatment in Princess Xian's Mansion will be better than that in Prince Kang's Mansion.
Most of the current income of Prince Kang's Mansion still relies on the saltpeter mines in Lingnan. With the increase in personnel, expenses have also increased, but Mr. Han's salary has not improved. This is why Mr. Han is anxious for Prince Kang to consolidate his power.
If you are powerful, you will have more opportunities to make money and become more powerful.
But King Kang's mind is too simple. If you put this kind of thing lightly, it is like scratching an itch, but if you put it deeply, it will only feel tacky.
It is better to first open up the relationship with Princess Xian, and then help Prince Kang's palace gradually gain power. This is the best shortcut to achieve success and live up to the original intention.
Mr. Han was ready to pack up and leave without any regrets.
When King Kang learned about Mr. Han's performance, he had no intention of blaming Mr. Han.
After all, people's ambitions are different.
But he still couldn't help but ask himself whether he knew how to control his subordinates.
"Why is it that Prince Jin's Mansion is able to retain so many people? Even if Prince Jin loses power for a while, he still stays with me. On the contrary, the people around me who originally gathered were all talented people who wanted to run the country and govern the world, but in the end they left me? "
King Kang didn't understand.
Neither the people he has been exposed to since childhood nor the knowledge he has received can help him solve such doubts.
The staff around him all came from poor families. Not to mention his subordinates, he felt great that they could endure hardships with him and restrain their natural desire for enjoyment.
He had no answer to this difficult question and didn't know where to look for the answer.
"This is probably the real difference between King Jin and I when we decide the outcome."
King Kang thought about it and decided to talk to his sons.
Since Prince Kang's Mansion was taken seriously, his sons did not have to worry about being seriously injured on the way to the study one day when a frightened horse fell, and then they would stay in the mansion all day and not dare to go out. Chance.
I don't know if I can teach the king's royal methods like this in the study room.
If that doesn't work, just find a smarter son and ask this question implicitly when the imperial masters in the study are giving lectures.
“I feel like it’s not my sons who really should go to study, but me.”
King Kang couldn't help but think of Hua Yi.
If Hua Yi was not dead, he could still be shameless and ask Hua Yi to be his teacher.
Nowadays, there is no other master who can speak to his heart and has the status of a national teacher.
…
It's just dawn.
Since he knew in advance that Zhou Qian was coming last night, Ning Wushan could only get up early, wash and dress.
Although it was a private daily visit, the Shen family came to visit soon after.
Of course, it was not possible to dress too homely and casually, but the wound on his back could not be rubbed. In order to choose decent and suitable clothes, the maids of Princess Xian's Mansion were busy until midnight.
When he only had a blue cotton-padded gown on, Ning Wuhuang couldn't help but secretly complained: There seemed to be no difference between this dress and the one he had picked up before going to bed last night.
"Master Ning looks so energetic in this dress."
"It's not in vain that we followed the princess's instructions and stayed up until midnight."
Although Ning Wuyan felt that there was no difference from usual, he still echoed the praise.
Since all the maids felt that he looked energetic, Miss Shen should not be able to find out how serious his injury was.
that's enough.
After a simple breakfast, in order to prevent anyone from smelling the smell of blood, he sprayed perfume all over his body and the room.
When the morning light poured into the room through the glass window, Su Peiyuan's shout finally sounded outside.
"The Holy Spirit has arrived!"
It's time to pick up the driver.
Although Ning Wuchang can move around, he can't leave the room to enjoy the cold air.
Naturally, I could only stand at the door to pick him up.
When Zhou Jingxian welcomed Zhou Qian in, he was just about to kowtow, but Zhou Qian had already taken a step ahead of him and helped him up.
"Aiqing's injury has not healed yet. Don't make any big movements to avoid opening the wound. Quickly, take off your boots and sit on the couch."
Ah...this...
In fact, you can also sit on a chair.
If you take off your shoes and sit on the highest seat on the couch, isn't that just like sitting on an equal footing with His Majesty?
Ning Wuyan knew that he was the popular person in front of His Majesty at this time, but he did not dare to forget the proper etiquette, lest one day he went to the morning court on a whim and smashed his memorial like snowflakes on his head.
If you can have fewer setbacks in life, let it be more smooth.
Ning Wuyang followed Zhou Qian, but did not sit on the bed after all. After Zhou Qian sat on the couch, he signaled Yunfei to move a chair and sit down at the bottom with Zhou Jingxian.
Zhou Qian felt even more satisfied when he looked at Ning Wuyan who was sitting upright.
Rely on favor but not arrogant.
Sitting next to the calm girl Jingxian, it is a perfect match.
When Su Peiyuan made tea with the tea set brought from the palace and served it, Zhou Qian turned his back on the guests, rewarded the two with tea, and started talking.
"When will Master Shen and the others come?"
