Chapter 284 Surrender and Exploration

The Anthology Department is in charge of the promotion of officials from all over the country, and it is a very important place.Although Zhang Chang's seniority is only an errand in the Wenxuan Department, his father is the chief assistant, so it is not very difficult to secretly get the list.It's just that although the list is available, Zhang Chang's current official position is impossible to tamper with it, but it is more than enough to dredge activities for Prince Jing.

Prince Jing nodded, "Have all the officials from all over the country arrived in Beijing after their term of office has expired?"

"Except for those who have traveled far and haven't arrived yet, basically all of them have gone to the Ministry of Officials for filing."

"You don't need to fiddle with the promotion. Prince Ning's family is eager to catch something here. You just need to reveal some plausible news." King Jing ordered.

Zhang Chang listened to Prince Jing's words and thought for a while with his head bowed. Then he realized that the prince meant to use rumors of retention or promotion to divert the attention of the people from King Ning's family to the Marquis of Beijing, and to take their eyes off Kan Zhiyi. In this way, the pressure on their side will be relatively small.And it was just a rumor, even if King Ning finally found out that they did it, but there is no way to catch this kind of thing, they can only stare blankly.The prince's thoughts are indeed meticulous and difficult to guess, and in such a passive situation, he can calmly arrange without panic.

"Yes, my subordinates know."

Ji Qiyu nodded and looked at Wei Liyan and Guo Linghua, "You two just say or act the same as before."

Guo Linghua worked in the Qin Tianjian, subjective astronomy.Wei Liyan had a hard working experience in the Imperial Academy. These two places basically belonged to the Qingshui Yamen. Usually, he couldn't exert great strength, but when the critical moment came, he could indeed exert great strength.So you can't move easily, and you can't be discovered by others.Even if they are in-laws, they may not be on the same road. Guo Linghua has maintained a close relationship with Prince Jing in the past few years, and Wei Liyan is even more common except for walking around with his female relatives, and he has not had much contact with Prince Jing on the surface.

"Yes." The two responded at the same time.

In the end, Ji Qiyu looked at Dong Yunji with a more dignified expression than before, "Kan Zhiyi can't be found for a day, and Xiuming will bear all the doubts and pressures. Your burden is not light, let alone be looked down upon by others." Let's go."

Although Prince Jing and Dong Yunji are very close, but in front of everyone, they are extremely upright subordinates and subordinates.Prince Jing expressed his closeness to everything he was doing, and Dong Yunji was no exception.

"Don't worry about this, my lord. I have rough skin and thick flesh. In addition, others think that I am the one who cuts three times. I don't dare to push too much for a while. Who knows if I will?" Turn your face and expose your old self."

Listening to Dong Yunji's words, everyone laughed, and the atmosphere in the room became more relaxed for a while.Dong Yunji really has a nickname in the officialdom. When he was in Jiangsu, there was an official who forced Dong Yunji to make concessions like a hob. Unexpectedly, Dong Yunji secretly sent someone to take his criminal evidence and directly stab the emperor. , was dismissed within a few days.No one has ever dared to do things like this without hesitation about his own position and consequences, and he does not leave a way out for himself, so Dong Yunji got the nickname of a gangster.There is a saying that people with bare feet are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Dong Yunji is the one with bare feet. Although those who wear shoes want to poke his skin and drink his blood, they are really afraid of Dong Yunji's way of doing things.Anyway, Dong Yunji has the big tree of Dingguo Mansion behind him, even if he is not a good official, at most he will be dismissed from his post and go home to be a rich young master, but others don't have his strong background, once he gets out of the official position, Don't even think about turning over in this life.

In fact, although he has such a nickname, Dong Yunji himself is very clear that such a thing must never happen again.The reason why the emperor approved his proposal for the first time and directly took down the offending officials was because the emperor really needed him to open up the situation in Jiangsu, and secondly, there were also reasons for the Marquis of Bei'an and Duke Dingguo's mansion. .So he used this method to frighten people, but this thing is just a precious item that is placed high and can only be used once.

Ji Qiyu showed a rare smile, and finally his eyes fell on Dong Yuncheng, and after some consideration, he said: "He Guang, have you thought about it on your side?"

Dong Yuncheng looked at Prince Jing's looking eyes and nodded slightly, "I will unswervingly follow the prince. As for my father, I think it will only take some time. As the actions of Duke Linguo and Duke Xinguo grow stronger , the more embarrassing the Dingguo Mansion's position on King Ning's side, then my father will naturally make a decision."

Once Duke Ding is determined to stand on King Ning's side, then Duke Zhao's mansion will inevitably make a choice immediately.The only trouble is that the eldest lady will have to make a lot of trouble for her daughter, after all, the Zhaoguo Duke's mansion is the eldest lady's natal family.But in the same way, the Duke of Zhao has become more and more low-key in the residences of the four major kingdoms these years. One reason is that there is no princess in the residence of the Duke of Zhao, and there is no concubine in the palace to be favored by.Relatively speaking, Duke Ling's Mansion is much better than Duke Xin's Mansion and Duke Dingguo's Mansion, but this does not mean that Duke Zhao's Mansion is in decline.On the contrary, Duke Zhao's government decided to keep a low profile and preserve its strength under such a wave, so that it can fight with all its strength in the future.

If it weren't for Dong Yuncheng, the much-loved grandson of Duke Zhao's mansion, Prince Jing might not be so clear about Duke Zhao's plan, so he would ask such a question now.

Dong Yuncheng's words undoubtedly gave King Jing great confidence.Even if Prince Jing was from the royal family, the power behind the four major families cannot be underestimated.It can only be seen that Princess Ning is still safe and sound after all this tossing, others can't even say a word of complaint, even if they are watching jokes, they can only secretly enjoy it.

Dong Yuncheng's name as the son of the Duke's Mansion, coupled with his calm and low-key behavior, and his popularity during King Jing's attack, everyone still has a lot of trust in his words.Hearing what he said, everyone smiled in relief. It would be a good thing if they could have the full support of Dingguo and Zhaoguo.Dong Yuncheng has a good relationship with Qin Yang and Qin Ding. Although Dong Yuncheng is a quiet person, Qin Yang has a bright personality, and Qin Ding treats others very sincerely.It can be seen from the fact that Qin Yang is the eldest son of the concubine but has a brotherly relationship with Qin Ding, the eldest son of Zhaoguo Duke's Mansion.

Dong Yuncheng paused, glanced at everyone, and then continued, "A few days ago, Qin Yang came to me in private, held a cup and had a chat with me, and wanted me to introduce him."

Not everyone can easily go to Prince Jing's side to serve him. Without the recommendation of someone close to him, it may take a lot of trouble to do this step.Qin Yang approached Dong Yuncheng and wanted to surrender. It was just a few days ago. Everyone couldn't help but think that it had something to do with the fact that the princess in the palace was very popular with the emperor during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she cleverly tricked the little monkey away.Of course, it's not because of Sister Zhao's actions that others will take a look at Jing Wanggao. The most important thing is what is behind the emperor's liking for Sister Zhao.King Jing is not favored by the emperor. Although this matter has been settled for more than ten years, why did sister Zhao become the emperor's favorite granddaughter?

Sometimes simple things are ten times and a hundred times more complicated in the eyes of others.Especially when the emperor's mind is as unpredictable as a thousand-foot pond, everything around him will become everyone's focus.In the past few years, Prince Jing has gradually gained real power, which has also made many people more concerned.

King Ning was already liked by the emperor, even though the palace of Prince Ning had been in a mess for the past two years, the emperor treated King Ning very well except for a few occasional reprimands.The errands of the Household Department have always been in the hands of King Ning, and the Household Department is in charge of the world's money and food. Needless to say, the importance of this position has passed. Over the past few years, King Ning has been deeply rooted in the Household Department.King Jing is also used by the emperor, but none of the six tribes has his own direct descendant, so comparing the two now, King Jing is still at a slight disadvantage.

But at such times, those who stand in line need to be very cautious.Standing up at this time, no matter whether it is for King Ning or King Jing, it is really a timely help.In the future, if they can get their wish, these people will become important ministers of the new emperor.

King Ning was born with the attribute of being followed by a family, but Ji Qiyu has nothing.

Even though Ji Qiyu married Huiyu, she was only the daughter of the second wife of Dingguo's mansion who had no real power.Of course the Marquis of Bei'an stood behind this daughter, but Marquis Bei'an was only loyal to the emperor, no one in the world knew, so who could guarantee that Marquis Bei'an would follow Prince Jing for a granddaughter?
Now, Dong Yuncheng's utterance of this sentence undoubtedly caused a great shock, and everyone's faces were filled with smiles from the bottom of their hearts.

Although Qin Yang is the eldest son of the Duke of Zhao, he will not inherit the Duke of Zhao in the future.However, everyone in Duke Zhao's mansion liked the eldest son very much, and his status was not low.Especially his close relationship with the prince, it's hard not to think whether Qin Yang's actions represent the meaning of the prince of Zhaoguo's mansion.

Ji Qiyu was also a little surprised at this time, the Zhaoguo government had never done anything, and now he suddenly showed his favor, he was also a little cautious, and said to Dong Yuncheng: "I will leave this matter to you." It is still very reassuring, after all, it is not the first time that the two have cooperated like this, and the tacit understanding is quite in tune.

Dong Yuncheng nodded to show that he understood, "I will ask Qin Yang to meet in a few days, and then I will test it out. If this is the case, I must show my sincerity." Such a major event, even if it is a cousin who is a direct cousin, cannot be taken lightly. Just nodded.

Everyone listened to Dong Yuncheng's words, and they really admired him. He, Qin Yang and Qin Ding are cousins.

After Ji Qiyu settled the matter, he discussed with everyone how to behave after Kan Zhiyi returned safely.From whom and how to start in the officialdom of Jiangsu can we expel all the direct descendants of King Ning cleanly.At noon, these people ate at Prince Jing's Mansion, and they didn't leave until dark.

This winter, Kyoto was extremely lively. Firstly, Concubine Pan, King Yi gave birth to a daughter, and then Princess Huai also gave birth to her eldest daughter, and then in December, Princess Jia gave birth to another daughter.Counting the daughter born to King Jia's side concubine in August, the royal family has already had four daughters in a row.For a while, everyone was guessing what Princess Jing would give birth to next year, and would it be a daughter?

Huiyu didn't think there was anything strange, after all, many such situations happened in later generations.If there were many sons in the previous generation, there are many such examples in the generation of sons who gave birth to daughters.Now everyone's attention suddenly falls on whether her child is a boy or a girl, and it is quite helpless to say that she was shot innocently.However, Huiyu doesn't care about these things. If she marries someone else, she may worry about having a daughter. It's a bad thing if the main wife can't have a son. After all, it has something to do with her status in the family.But now she doesn't have to worry about this at all, so there is no burden.Whether it's a daughter or a son, I think Ji Qiyu likes it very much.

"Sister Zhao likes younger brother or younger sister?" Hui Yu suddenly thought of this matter one afternoon and asked her daughter casually. When she looked up, she saw Ji Qiyu on the opposite side who listened to Hui Yu's question with a somewhat disapproving expression.She just asked casually, if Ji Qiyu thought it was a big deal, but it didn't really matter at all.

Sister Zhao was rolling on the couch with the little black monkey. When she heard her mother's words, she rolled over and sat up. The little black monkey jumped into her arms and nestled still. The monkey's paw even grabbed a candy and stuffed it into its mouth. Squint your eyes and enjoy it.

"Brother." Sister Zhao replied without hesitation.

This was the first time Huiyu asked her daughter such a question. She did not expect her to answer so simply. Even Ji Qiyu was a little surprised, so Huiyu asked, "Why?"

"Brother Cheng from the third aunt's family is very fun." Sister Zhao replied very seriously.

Ji Qiyu: ...

Huiyu: ...

It turns out that I want a younger brother for fun!
However, Chu Ke's son is not funny, he is clearly a little devil, okay?I don’t know how Chun Wang taught the child. Anyway, when Chu Ke came to visit Huiyu last time, she said that her son has long stopped following her, and she is always behind his father’s ass. She is known as Chun Wang how to teach her son. No matter.This kind of words surprised Huiyu very much, so she asked her if she was not afraid that King Chun could not teach the children well?As a result, Chu Ke replied domineeringly. Anyway, if the result of teaching poorly is to be demoted by the emperor, King Chun would not be so courageous.

Hui Yu really didn't know how to answer, Chu Ke's temper is really amazing.Only someone like her can be so lenient. In fact, later Huiyu thought that Chu Ke couldn’t help but be lenient. King Chun is not a great material at all. Instead of letting him mix with his brother and younger brother, it is better to take his son to mess around Well, at least it can keep you safe for the rest of your life.Although Chu Ke has a cold temper and doesn't like to talk, she understands what's going on.Everyone knows that King Chun is greedy and lustful, there are many beauties in Prince Chun's mansion, and everyone knows that Princess Chun doesn't like to take care of things, but just like this, there has never been any indecent incident in Prince Chun's mansion. If Chu Ke really doesn't care about anything, Huiyu didn't believe it either.

Now hearing that Sister Zhao wants a younger brother who is as mischievous as Brother Cheng to play with her, Huiyu feels that there is a long way to go.What's more, she obviously felt a lot lazy when she was pregnant with this child, and she felt more and more that no matter whether it was a daughter or a son, I was afraid that Sister Zhao, who was an older sister, would not be able to get a sibling like Brother Cheng.Huiyu had never felt so lazy when she was pregnant with Sister Zhao, and Sister Zhao was very lively in her womb, and she was also lively after birth. It can be seen that Huaiyu has something to do with the child's personality .

"No." After a short silence, Ji Qiyu happily rejected her daughter's whims.

Huiyu and Sister Zhao looked at Ji Qiyu who spoke almost at the same time, and looked at the questioning eyes of the mother and daughter, and he said very calmly: "Judging by your father's excellent conduct, it is absolutely impossible to produce sincerity." A kid like my brother."

Huiyu:! ! !
Sister Zhao:? ? ?

Looking at her daughter's puzzled eyes, Ji Qiyu continued to explain, "Sister Zhao is such a smart baby, how can she have such stupid siblings?" His pride would not allow it!

Sister Zhao lowered her head and thought for a while, seeming to understand, looked at her father and said, "Brother Cheng is so stupid."

You must not let King Chun know, or you will fight desperately with your father!
Huiyu felt that it was impossible to have a pleasant conversation, and immediately changed the topic wisely, "Sister Zhao, can you tell a story to your younger brother or younger sister?"

Sister Zhao happily agreed, her eyes scanned the furnishings in the room, and finally landed on a long-necked and thin-mouthed enamel vase, "Then tell me the story of this vase..."

Huiyu decided to listen to it as a lullaby. She really couldn't understand how a beautiful vase could have such a long story. Anyone who can tell a long story with the patterns, shapes, and colors on a vase must be angry. human.

Nothing to do with her!
Huiyu soon fell asleep. Ji Qiyu carried her daughter aside, covered his wife with a brocade quilt, and whispered to Sister Zhao, "Shall we go to the next room and play a game of drawing?"

Sister Zhao nodded excitedly, and said in a low voice, "This time, I started small."

Ji Qiyu was very disgusted and lifted Xiaoxiao from the couch, and carried her daughter to the next room.The drawing game is very interesting. For example, Ji Qiyu draws a little girl, and sister Zhao adds a few strokes to draw a fruit or a forest next to it, indicating that the little girl wants to eat fruit or go to the woods to play.Then Ji Qiyu continued to draw, what would Xiaoxiao do after eating the fruit, just like Solitaire, sister Zhao Shicm likes this game, and can play it for a long time every time.

As a disgusted monkey, Xiao Xiao followed with his head bowed and his face drooping. Prince Jing can't afford to offend him, the monkey really wants to cry.
