"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict: Now there is Wen Shengjun, a disciple of a famous teacher with both ability and political integrity... appointed as the treasurer of the Ministry of War. He will take office today to serve the country and the king. I admire this..."
Wen Shengjun received the order in a daze, "I thank my emperor for his kindness. Long live my emperor..."
Although the Treasurer of the Ministry of War is not a high-ranking official, he is so young that he neither participated in the imperial examination nor was recommended, so he got an official position inexplicably...
It was as if, while walking on the road, I suddenly picked up a golden rice bowl.
Daliang has both imperial examination and recommendation system.
The imperial examination was intended to give poor students a chance, but it was still quite opposed by the family.
Wen Jin took advantage of the emperor's opportunity to compensate her and asked the emperor to choose her eldest brother to serve as an official in the court.
The emperor initially wanted her brother to go to the Ministry of Industry, after all, her father was already the minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Wen Jin said that her father and her eldest brother had many disagreements, and it was inevitable for father and son to have conflicts when they were together.
Originally, family scandals should not be brought out.
But Wen Jin confessed that her mother's family also had "discord between father and son", which comforted the emperor as an old father... In the family of a minister, a bowl of water could not be balanced and father and son could not live in harmony. What's more, his heavenly family has many sons, but only one throne?
He suddenly felt much more balanced, and the look in his eyes at Wen Jin became more intimate.
In other words, the fastest way to bring two people closer is to share "one's secrets."
"If he were to be appointed as a minister upon coming up, Wen Shengjun would be too young to convince the public. Instead, he would have difficulty in the Ministry of War.
"Let's appoint him as treasurer and let him familiarize himself with the environment of the Ministry of War first. If given the opportunity, he can show his talents and be promoted very quickly. Then there will be less resistance."
The emperor patiently explained to Wen Jin.
In fact, this is exactly what Wen Jin thinks. She just wants to shorten the journey for her eldest brother to enter the official career.
Once he sets foot on this road, the eldest brother relies on his own ability to move up, which is not only an affirmation of his strength, but also a way to make him walk more steadily.
…
After Wen Shengjun received the order to thank him, he also came back to his senses.
He had long wanted to enter an official career, but he had not found the opportunity to recommend him.
Mr. Qi also said, "Don't worry about this matter. The boat will go straight to the bridge. When the court selects officials, I will recommend them to you."
"Jin'er is really my lucky star." Wen Shengjun held the imperial edict in his hands and looked down at his legs.
A voice from the side echoed him: "Yes, the master is also a turning point in the slave's life!"
Wen Shengjun turned around and saw young Wen Yuanjie's eyes sparkling with stars.
The matter was settled by the emperor's forcible intervention.
The third prince was scolded, and when he returned, he took away the housekeeper's rights from the third prince's concubine, and ordered her to stay at home and copy Buddhist scriptures.
The third princess felt aggrieved, "I also think about Alang...Why doesn't he understand my painstaking efforts?"
Xiao Yuchen was dismissed from his post, his military power was taken away directly, and he was made idle for a year. The punishment was not light.
But when the prince and his brothers were wary of him, taking away the military power from his hands was also a good time for him to "hide his strength and bide his time".
Xiao Jinglou and Wen Jin each received compensation, which meant they had both lost and gained.
The worst one is Wei Yilan...
Xiao Jinglou already had a problem with her, and Wei Yilan also wanted to repair their relationship.
Unexpectedly, before the relationship was repaired, Xiao Jinlou was slapped with a cuckold on his head, which made Xiao Jinlou very angry.
The man is extremely sensitive to this. Not only is it an insult to his dignity, but the other person is the eighth brother he hates the most...
He didn't kill Wei Yilan directly, he just wanted to torture her even more.
Xiao Jinglou married two concubines in a high-profile manner.
These two concubines are not simple. The Li family and the Cui family are both from high-ranking families and have big families. Where there are many people, there are also many fights. Both of these two men fought their way out of the inner-house struggle.
It can be said that he has been immersed in house fighting since he was a child, and his methods are ruthless and skillful.
On the first day when the two concubines came together, they gave Wei Yilan a warning, making her, as the mistress of the Hailing Palace, severely lose face in front of the servants and Xiao Jinglou.
Xiao Jinlou looked at her embarrassed expression, and instead of helping her out, he felt very happy in his heart.
It was very difficult for Wei Yilan to deal with the two concubines. First, the other party is very clever. Secondly, the Li family and the Cui family are not unknown people. The natal family behind them is powerful, and Wei Yilan has no advantage at all.
Ever since the two concubines came in, they had won Xiao Jinglou so much that they didn't even go to her courtyard... Everyone in the house looked at her face with less respect than before!
Wei Yilan held her breath in her heart. When the two concubines came to greet her, they were respectful to her on the surface, but in fact they were mocking her...
Wei Yilan cut off two of her nails that she had grown for a long time before she could hold back her composure.
She didn't want to be passively beaten all the time and have her concubine ride on her head!
Wei Yilan thought of her mother's family and Wei Chao.
She returned to her parents' home for help. Little did she know that her uncle, who had always loved her, could not even see her face.
Even her brother Wei Chao said he was sick and avoided her!
"Is my brother seriously ill? Let me go and see him!" Wei Yilan thought at first that her brother was really sick.
The servants of the Wei family resisted and refused to let her visit, "I've already asked the doctor to take a look. I'm afraid that the princess will be sick after she gets over it... The princess has a daughter's body and is very precious. Don't embarrass the Wei family!"
"I went to visit my eldest brother, why did I embarrass the Wei family?"
Wei Yilan was angry at Prince Hailing's palace, but she didn't expect to be angry again when she returned to her parents' family. "If I marry into the Wei family, am I no longer a member of the Wei family?"
The servant looked at her meaningfully...
Ah! She really doesn’t regard her as a member of the Wei family anymore!
Wei Yilan was so angry that she coughed out a mouthful of blood...
Mrs. Wei arrived late, but when she saw this, she had a frightened expression on her face, "My child, what's going on? How did your body become like this?"
The eldest lady is good at acting, she is both concerned and frightened, and more importantly, innocent.
It's as if Wei Yilan came to her parents' house with an illness and wanted to blackmail her...
"I know, my father is gone, but you are enjoying the glory that my father brought to the Wei family by dying in battle! But you treat his children poorly and don't treat me as a member of the Wei family!" Wei Yilan said angrily.
Mrs. Wei looked at her with an even colder look, "If Princess Hailing talks like this, it will be too hurtful. Ask yourself, how will the whole family treat you after the second brother is gone? Among the sisters, uncles and aunts at home, who dares to Talking loudly in front of you? I’m afraid you’ll be sad, and I’m afraid I’m sorry for your father’s spirit in heaven!
"But what have you done to the Wei family? Do you care about so many people in the Wei family? You only have yourself in your heart! Let alone us, do you ever care about your brother's future?
"Wei Chao was expelled from Chongwen Academy! His former classmates and friends cut ties with him one after another! How can he find a foothold in the world in the future?
"She is also a sister, and she is also a princess. Wen Jin healed her brother's legs, studied with famous teachers, and bought a big house near Chongwen Academy! Now she has obtained the emperor's favor and allowed her brother to enter an official career!
"What about you? What did you bring to Wei Chao?"
Mrs. Wei was very convincing and hit the mark.
Wei Yilan trembled and fell backward on the chair.
Mrs. Wei said this not only to question Wei Yilan, but also because she glanced at the boy in front of Wei Chao, eavesdropping outside the door.
What she said was mostly meant for Wei Chao!
Wei Yilan left the Wei family in despair. In the end, she didn't get to see her uncle, let alone her brother... She was belittled by her aunt and lost all face.
She never thought that one day, in the eyes of others, she would be inferior to Wen Jin? !
…
Xiao Yuchen was dismissed from his post as Jinwu Guard. He lived in seclusion, and he happened to have some free time to take care of the "big rats" at home.
