The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 252 Promotion
At this time, on the carriage back to the imperial capital, the ice tray placed on the small table was emitting cold air, and the sweltering heat in the carriage eased a lot.

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, "Xiao Jingtian actually came back before Yan Mo, and sent someone behind him, what do you mean?"

Leaning on the soft pillow, leaning against the carriage, Jiang Nian said while waving the folding fan: "Didn't he promise earlier that after the northwest rebellion was put down, he would return the military funds you allocated earlier? Isn't that what it is now."

Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "This kind of thing could have been brought back by Yan Mo at the time. Now it seems that Xiao Jingtian will no longer trust Yan Mo. I am afraid that Yan Mo's future is uncertain when he goes back this time."

Jiang Nian looked up at her, half closed his folding fan and said with a smile: "Yan Mo was going to leave yesterday, but he hasn't left today, so things should turn around."

Thinking of this, Ning Yuezhao felt a little relieved, and looked at Jiang Nian jokingly, "It's a pity that this matter came in such a hurry, I didn't hear it as Jiang Ye and Xu Miaoyun's sidekick, and I don't know if he sold your library or not!"

Jiang Nian slammed open the folding fan, and said in a calm tone, "If he dares to sell, then sell it. I promise not to kill him."

At the beginning, Jiang Nian made up his mind to let go, so he gave Jiang Ye the land deed of this mountain. If Jiang Ye was deceived by lard and wanted to give it to Xu Miaoyun, Jiang Qixi would be able to do it without Jiang Nian's hand. Kill him, Jiang Nian just needs to watch.

It has nothing to do with money, if this matter is unclear, what business is there!Just go back to Jiang's mansion and wait for death. The Jiang family will not send him a bite of food.

At this time, Jing Ming, who was originally sitting outside the car, lifted the curtain, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the guards who just stayed outside the building to wait for the news have caught up. The third son did not fall into the trap of a beauty, and Miss Xu left angrily." " When talking about the news, Jing Ming's tone was obviously gloating.

Jiang Nian nodded, and Jing Ming put down the curtain of the car and retreated.

Ning Yuezhao pondered for a while and said, "That Yu Congxiao..."

Before she finished speaking, Jiang Nian said: "I'll let Zuo Ming find out who he is from in a while. Brother Ye said that he came back from Jiangnan, but he spoke with the accent of the imperial capital."

The area around the south of the Yangtze River is the sphere of influence of King Kangyu, and people from the south of the Yangtze River have to be on guard.

In a blink of an eye, the carriage had already driven into the palace.

General Zhao Qianwei, who was ordered by Xiao Jingtian to escort the military capital into the imperial capital, had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, but there were ice cubes in the hall to cool off, and the maids offered iced sour plum soup to cool off, which made Zhao Qian, who had been traveling all the way, was not greatly comforted.

"The emperor is here, the emperor is here!"

Accompanied by the announcement from the inner prison outside the hall, Ning Yuezhao and Jiang Nian, who had already changed into the official robes in the palace, walked in hand in hand.

"My minister sees Your Majesty, Your Highness!"

Zhao Qian saluted respectfully.After the grand parade at Yuquan Mountain and the mutiny of the Northwest Army in the outskirts of Gyeonggi, the imperial husband's decision to kill and the empress's tolerance have already convinced these Northwest generals, and now facing the two of them, they can only surrender from the heart.

"Pingshen, bestow a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After taking his seat, Ning Yuezhao asked, "General Xiao sent you back, why?"

Zhao Qian didn't take the next seat well, so he clasped his hands and replied: "Rebel General Luo Feng was greedy for the military funds allocated by His Majesty earlier, and in order to suppress the rebellion, His Majesty allocated military funds. The general promised that after the traitor general was captured, The general will return all the funds, and this time I returned to the imperial capital just to fulfill the original promise for the general."

"Xiao Jingtian is really serious!" Ning Yuezhao shook her head, "Now I have entrusted the emperor's husband to make all decisions about military affairs, you just need to report to him."

Zhao Qianwei looked at Jiang Nian in surprise, and his eyes fell on Jiang Nian's right arm unconsciously. Before he left the imperial capital, the news that the emperor's husband's right arm had been disabled had spread all over the streets and alleys. All decisions are entrusted to him... Is the empress supporting the imperial husband?

Jiang Nian naturally noticed Zhao Qian's undisguised gaze, and he smiled lightly and said, "Now that Luo Feng has been executed, who will take care of the Northwest Army's logistics?"

Zhao Qian didn't shake his head, "The general is now on his way back to the northwest with the soldiers, and the border affairs have not been settled properly. Before I left, the general explained that the emperor's eyes are as bright as a torch, please arrange a reliable candidate .”

Jiang Nian smiled, "General Xiao thinks of Gu, but Luo Feng is dead, and now there is a vacancy for the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Ministry of War. Gu will ask the Ministry of Officials to select a few candidates and submit them. Then we will think about it and then do it." Decide."

In the past, because of Xiao Jingtian's rebellion, the Ministry of War was almost not under the control of the cabinet. Now Xiao Jingtian's move undoubtedly showed that the Ministry of War was no longer independent.

Someone is willing to hand over authority, how could Jiang Nian refuse?

As early as the moment he got Wang Liyou into the Ministry of War, he had already planned to take down the Ministry of War. After Luo Feng died, even if Xiao Jingtian didn't mention it, Jiang Nian would arrange for people to go there.

Xiao Jingtian led the army and fought well, the military department was in his hands, and almost all the real positions in it were empty and weak warriors.The head of the Department of Armaments of the sixth rank is just the beginning, and it is only a matter of time before it is replaced.

Zhao Qianwei said: "Your Highness, please allow me to return the general fee."

Jiang Nian looked at him and raised his eyebrows slightly.

He explained: "It's not easy to transport the military supplies, the general ordered my ministers to convert those supplies into silver and return them to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"You can send it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs later."

According to Jiang Nian's calculations, the military expenditure previously allocated to Xiao Jingtian was enough to feed the existing Northwest Army for another year.The military expenditure allocated to the Northwest Army's southward march was not large.So when Xiao Jingtian returned these things, Jiang Nian was not polite to him.

Zhao Qianwei said: "The general also ordered the minister to bring back some medicinal materials, hoping that it will be beneficial to the recovery of His Highness's right arm."

Jiang Nian put his left hand lightly on his right arm, and said with a smile, "When you leave for the northwest, please thank General Xiao on your behalf."

Zhao Qian didn't know that Xiao Jingtian felt guilty towards Jiang Nian because of the Yuquanshan incident, but now that the empress and the emperor's husband are in harmony, it seems that the original rift no longer exists, and the general can feel at ease now.

"After I hand over the money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, I will leave for the northwest. General Xiao asked Weichen to bring a message to the imperial husband. On the Qianqiu Festival, he will present you with a congratulatory gift."

Xiao Jingtian's gift?Jiang Nian suddenly looked forward to it.

In Xu Mansion in the evening, Xu Miaoyun was sitting in Lingxiao Garden, waiting for her fifth elder brother to return.

Mrs. Xu Wushao's wife, Feng Caiyu, was patient at first to entertain this cold-faced sister-in-law, but Xu Miaoyun always said "hmm" coldly to her words, and after a few times, Feng Caiyu simply ignored her, I do embroidery work by myself.

When Yu Congxiao stepped into the main room, what he saw was Xu Miaoyun's face was tense, and his wife was still sewing his son's clothes.

"Little sister."

Anyone who saw Xu Miaoyun's face couldn't be interested.

"Fifth brother is really good at it. He rushed to hug the thigh of the third son of the Jiang family so quickly."

Hearing her eccentric tone of voice, Yu Congxiao was also a little displeased.

"Jiang Sangongzi and I are friends of gentlemen."

"Then why did you use a pseudonym to approach him? What's your idea?"

For this elder brother who left home when she was six years old, Xu Miaoyun didn't have any feelings for him, because she was spoiled by Xu Zhi, and she didn't care about his decency when she spoke.She feels that she is a person with fame and fame, and this unsatisfactory fifth brother is a low-level businessman.

"This is my personal business."

Yu Congxiao, no, Xu Congxiao was also a little depressed about Xu Miaoyun's tone as if he was interrogating a prisoner.

"Fifth brother." Xu Miaoyun's tone slowed down, "I'm doing it for your own good. After all, you also know that father and Jiang Ge have disagreed for many years, but you have made friends with his concubine. If father finds out, I'm afraid you will have to kill him again." scolded you."

"Difference in political views?" Xu Congxiao smiled strangely.

If it's just a matter of political disagreement, why would he hide his surname to make friends with the third son? He doesn't want to say too much about some things.

"Okay, you go back!"

Xu Congxiao impatiently issued the eviction order.

"Fifth Brother!" Seeing his frosty face, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help slowing down her tone, "I just had a bad attitude, but you don't know how Jiang Ye used to tease me. You got close to him, didn't you slap me in the face? ?”

Xu Congxiao smiled, "Since that's the case, why do you have to walk a few miles to find him?"

Xu Miaoyun's expression changed. She never thought that Jiang Ye would tell Brother Wu about this matter. I'm afraid that her going to the building outside the building today has become Jiang Ye's boastful talk!
Thinking of this, Xu Miaoyun felt unstoppable.

Seeing her face change, Xu Congxiao said: "Don't think about it, I saw your carriage when I went up the mountain, and the third son didn't say anything."

Xu Miaoyun stood up with a cold face, "Since fifth brother doesn't welcome little sister so much, then I'll leave!"

After finishing speaking, she left Lingxiao Garden with a white face.

Jiang Ye, just wait for me, I want you to look good!
Seeing Xu Miaoyun's leaving back, Fengcaiyu put down the embroidery needle in her hand, and said with a little worry: "Husband, these few days have been arguing with my father-in-law, and now you are so ruthless with my little sister again." say……"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Congxiao sat beside her and held her hand, "Caiyu, let's get ready to leave. I thought I could change my father's mind when I came back, but now it seems that he is already stubborn. I can't change him, I can only choose to leave."

His business in the south of the Yangtze River has grown in recent years. King Kangyu attaches great importance to businessmen, and many of the purchases of the palace are through his shops.King Kang Yu also knew his identity, so he used the fact that Xu Zhi had formed an alliance with him to further win him over.

He thought that his father was only interested in power, but now he colluded with the ambitious King Kang Yu for the sake of power.

As a child, he can't expose his father righteously, so he can only choose to stay away from these things he hates.

Fengcaiyu is the daughter of a merchant, her parents died young, and she supported the family independently. She and Xu Congxiao had been fighting against each other for many years, but later they gradually fell in love, fell in love with each other, and formed a marriage alliance.

This time the couple brought their son back, hoping to use family affection to convert Xu Zhi, but they didn't want Xu Zhi to be so stubborn.

"Shall we go back to Jiangnan?"

Xu Congxiao shook his head, "Jiangnan can't go back no matter what, let's go to Minzhou."

Before leaving, Xu Congxiao wrote a letter to Jiang Ye, explaining his identity and Xu Miaoyun's resentment, reminding him to be careful.

When he saw this boy in Tingfeng Teahouse, he felt like seeing himself ten years ago, so he kindly reminded him.I thought that the two could become close friends, but I didn't expect him to be the Jiang family, which is a pity.

A few days later, when Xu Miaoyun went to the Hanlin Academy again, Zhou Cheng, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, told her, "There is a decree from the palace, and you will be appointed as the sixth-rank assistant teacher of the Guangwen Academy of the Guozijian. This is a document from the Ministry of Officials. I will report it tomorrow." Bar."
