The Jiangnan Salt Affairs incident was not just in Suzhou. Secondly, similar things happened in various river sections in Yangzhou, Xuzhou, and Jinling.
For a time, all the prefectural yamen were shocked. You must know that in Jiangnan, salt and iron determine most of the local tax revenue. Once these two things are damaged, it will have a great impact on the entire county.
The prefectures and county governments heard that similar things had happened in other places in the south of the Yangtze River, and immediately realized that there was something behind the matter.
However, the salt and iron affairs were very sensitive. Once something happened, it would not be a trivial matter. Even if they wanted to take care of it, they dared not, so they filed memorials one after another, reported the matter to the court, and asked the court to send commissioners to investigate the matter thoroughly in the future. thing.
In the morning of the next day, the ministers discussed some work matters after the beginning of spring. Jia Qi listened and did not interrupt. These matters were not of interest to him and were not what he was good at, so he did not speak.
Later, when Emperor Mingkang discovered this situation, he couldn't help but smile and said: "The champion prince and the ministers are all working together, so you don't have any objections?"
When Jia Chu heard this, he was a little surprised. What did Emperor Ming Kang mean?
This is not a war, nor is it counterinsurgency. If you ask him to say something, such as promoting those officials, judging those officials' outstanding performance, or discussing spring plowing, why not leave it to professionals? Besides, what is involved? The relationship is very complicated. Maybe one of the officials is a relative of these people. Although he is not afraid of those officials and the forces behind him, he is not stupid, so how could he do such a thankless thing?
Jia Chu came out of the queue, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I am a warrior. Regarding the affairs of my family and country, I am just a layman. I will not do anything in front of you, so as not to make the magistrate laugh!"
After hearing what Jia Qi said, Emperor Mingkang laughed, and then continued: "My lords, listen, this little bastard has become humble at this time!
Last time, the prisoner of Qintian Prison was stunned! "
Hearing this, all civil and military officials in the court couldn't help laughing.
Jia Qi was young and vigorous, especially in the more than a month after returning to Beijing. Except for a few people, everyone felt as if a little ancestor had come to the capital. They were so suppressed by Jia Qi that they could not lift their heads. Now when they heard Jia Qi's words , everyone couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. They thought of one thing wrong. No matter what, Jia Qi was just a young man. He only had two fists of strength in his hands, and he still held some armor in his hands. He is not a perfect person without any shortcomings.
Even Emperor Mingkang thought of this. Fan Yuanhe and Zeng Shutang couldn't help but feel annoyed. Maybe they shouldn't have been like this in the first place. They shouldn't have been so impatient when dealing with such a young boy. From the beginning, they used softness to overcome strength, so they wouldn't be so passive.
Several other people who had crossed paths with Jia Qi were also secretly annoyed at this time. Above the court, it was easy to defend against real swords, but it was hard to avoid those hidden swords and cold arrows. What happened to them during this time? It's like he's possessed, why are he just thinking about confronting this stupid young man from the front? ?
In an unknown place, in a huge hall, there is a statue of the Sanqing Taoist ancestor in the middle of the hall. On one side are several incense burners, with several pillars of extremely magical incense inserted in them. The incense body is green, and the cigarettes are It's very dull, but it still lingers. There is a cloud of smoke directly above the main hall, which is extremely magical.
The smell of cigarettes is also very strange. There is an indescribable smell. Several people in the main hall are meditating with their eyes closed. Two wisps of extremely clear smoke extend from the smoke cloud above the main hall to the nostrils of several people. of. After several people took a few puffs, their expressions became very comfortable.
The smoke seemed to be very useful to the people in the hall.
Suddenly, the blue incense stick and the cigarette wafted out, shuddering slightly. Several people meditating suddenly opened their eyes. One of them, a woman with extraordinary beauty, said with some surprise: "The court." The Feng Shui pattern has been broken!
"
Then another man in a green robe said in a deep voice: "No, if the feng shui pattern of the court was broken, it wouldn't be like this!
"
"There should be some turmoil in the human dynasty. That person once said that our Chu Dynasty still has hundreds of years of luck, and it is impossible for the Feng Shui pattern to be broken at this time!
"
"In the current situation, I guess someone has broken free of the dynasty's own luck-protecting power."
"It seems that a very powerful figure has emerged from the human dynasty, otherwise there would not have been such a big turmoil."
After saying this, the man in green robe stopped talking and fell silent.
The woman who just spoke couldn't help but said after hearing this: "Then do we need to inform the world?"
At this time, a man with white hair and beard sitting in the middle said: "No, Chimu Immortal Palace, what happened just now, the Immortal World is not peaceful now, contacting the lower world at this time may attract criticism. Many people are already jealous that our Chu family has such luck!"
"Since Li Hentian predicted that our Chu family would enjoy the incense of the world for hundreds of years, then this matter will definitely not go wrong!
"
"After all, strength is the most important thing in this world. If we can all become Immortal Lords, then even if we forcefully prolong the life of a human dynasty for hundreds of years, what else will anyone say?"
Several people couldn't help but sigh when they heard the old man's words. After that, several people nodded one after another. Strength has always been respected in the immortal world. A big shot before went to the lower realm in a grand manner. Those patrols of the two realms could not make I just didn't dare to fart.
Just as the man in green robe said, after he finished speaking, the cigarettes in the hall returned to their original state not long after, and the feeling was not affected much.
If Jia Qi and Emperor Mingkang were here, they might know what is going on in the world.
Why did Fan Yuanhe and others deal with Jia Qi like this? Logically speaking, this matter is very strange. The old fox who runs the court should not be like this, but those few people don't even talk about strategies on weekdays. Most of the methods They were all very rough, and they looked like they were done by a Zaifu who was able to control the officialdom.
They were affected by the luck of the Dakang Dynasty. After it became aware of Jia Qi's existence, it affected Fan Yuanhe and others who did not belong to the same camp as Jia Qi, asking them to try their best to eliminate this possibility. People who will have an impact on the great health.
After several people were influenced, when targeting Jia Qi, they lost their sense of proportion and became much more impatient, so their methods became much rougher.
Just like dealing with other political opponents, the cold arrow without a sword is their strongest method.
Instead of such a simple frame-up like dealing with Jia Qi, he even risked his own life. This is absolutely not the case in other matters.
But when all the civil and military officials in the court were laughing, a carriage in the Lin Mansion slowly drove out of the gate.
After Lin Ruhai returned home yesterday, she talked about the incident with Daiyu. Mother Jia wanted to take her over to stay for a few days.
Although Jia Qi took her away from the capital in the past few days, the marriage proposal between her and Jia Qi did not calm down. Instead, it became more and more intense because of the disappearance of the two. In the past few days, the Lin Mansion often Just caught a few trail-cutting thieves in the middle of the night.
Most of them are young girls disguised as men. Most of these people are young ladies from wealthy families in the capital, and a few are even the daughters of officials in the same dynasty.
After Lin Ruhai saw through the true colors of several people, he was very helpless. He could not deal with these people at all. Ordinary people simply did not dare to raid the residence of the Minister of Etiquette. However, no one who dared to come was simple, so in the end, He could only send these people out.
Regarding the purpose of these people, he accidentally heard a young lady say that they just wanted to see what was so great about the woman who could be chosen by the champion.
As for the Champion House, I heard that there are a few thieves climbing the walls, but the defense there is tighter and they are really ruthless towards those uninvited guests. The girl named Cai Luan doesn’t know who is among those people. What was shown in front of them, those who came out later were very secretive about the affairs of the Champion House.
This morning, not long after dawn, people from the Jia family had already arrived. They were ordered by the old lady to pick up Daiyu.
Daiyu already knew about this last night, so she didn't delay it intentionally. She packed up and got on the carriage.
She didn't have much resistance to this matter. She heard her father say before that during the few days she was in Jia's house, she would ask Jia Baoyu to come to the house and teach him his lessons. This matter was her second uncle's. Already agreed.
She also wanted to share what she saw along the way with that little girl. The books they read together and the book thieves they did together, now that they have actually seen it, how could they not share it!
She is still thinking about what expression that little girl would show if she really knew about this!
Is it surprise, dullness, or envy? ?
It was better to pester myself to tell her what she had seen and heard along the way. The past few days she and Jia Qi had been together, now that she thought about it, it was really thrilling!
If she were in the capital or in the mansion, maybe she would never see this.
Duke Rong's Mansion, Lixiang Garden.
Ying'er walked in from the outside, put the gold thread in her hand into the exquisite small bamboo basket, and then smiled and said to Baochai: "Girl, I heard from the maids outside that Miss Lin is coming today! The government has already sent someone to pick him up!
"
Baochai is still dressed in the same outfit today, including a honey-colored cotton-padded jacket, a rose-purple gold and silver-colored rat jacket, and an onion-yellow silk cotton skirt. However, the clothes are new, not the same ones as before.
Sitting aside, doing female celebrities.
Listening to Ying'er's words, her eyes were a little gloomy. Daiyu was pretty good, whether it was life experience or figure. In terms of figure, she thought she was still up to par, and she thought she was better than Daiyu when it came to dealing with people. Excellent, but lost in the end.
The hazy feelings that had just arisen in her heart were completely shattered by Jia Qi's words. Therefore, she was not as happy as she imagined for Daiyu's arrival, and of course she did not show disgust. She was very calm. Dan, since Jia Qi has not made it clear that he likes her, she does not want to set up a difficult opponent without authorization.
"Oh! Got it!
"
Ying'er was slightly startled when she saw Baochai's reaction. The girl's reaction was different from what she imagined!
