Chapter 253
"Congratulations, Master Xu!"

"Master Xu is the fastest promoted in the history of the Hanlin Academy. She is indeed a talented woman who is famous all over the world!"

When the officials of the Imperial Academy saw that Xu Miaoyun had received the imperial decree of promotion, they had different reactions, some were envious and some were jealous.

"This is wrong. The person who is promoted the fastest should be His Royal Highness, who has only entered the Imperial Academy for less than a month, and was conferred the title of son-in-law by the former emperor. Now that one person is below ten thousand, who can compare with it?" he!"

There are quite a few good scholars here who have stayed for many years and still have no rank, but Xu Miaoyun has only been in the Imperial Academy for two months, and has no obvious achievements.

What's more, although the position of teaching assistant in Guozijian has no real power, it is a good place for women to relax.How many Hanlin female officials are staring at the Guozijian, and once there is a vacancy, they will let the family find ways to move around, send themselves there, and enjoy the rest of their lives in peace.

But Xu Miaoyun was different, she was holding the imperial decree, facing those sincere or false congratulations, she didn't have much joy on her face.

Going to the Guangwen Museum means that there will be almost no chance to face the saint in the future, so forget it.The Tai students in the Imperial College are either the children who are blindly sent in by various families to eat and wait to die, or the children from poor families who have passed the provincial examination based on their ability. Faced with these people all day long, what kind of future do they have!
"His Royal Highness is the emperor, Miao Yun is just a courtier, how dare he be compared with him!"

The people around Xu Miaoyun were slightly unhappy when they saw her cold face.

The literati are lofty, and immediately a scholar said: "Don't mention His Majesty, just say that the current Yin Luji of Shuntian Mansion only got a sixth-rank Xiuzhuan almost half a year later. After more than a month, he became a representative The governor of Shuntian Prefecture is now a fifth-rank governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Master Xu is even faster than him, and his future prospects are limitless."

This remark made Xu Miaoyun even more angry, "Everyone knows how Lu Ji's officials were promoted. It was the road paved by the bones of the Lu family. They even compared me with him. You hope that my Xu family will die as well." !"

With a "bang", Zhou Cheng slapped the table, "Okay, stop arguing, do whatever you have to do! You are all famous people, bickering like women in the market, what do you look like!"

Zhou Cheng became angry, and those who wanted to argue with Xu Miaoyun fell silent, and the people in the lobby returned to their office rooms in twos and threes to work.

Xu Miaoyun returned to her seat, and many people who worked in the same room as her had been humiliated by her just now, and now they ignored her.

Thinking of Lu Ji, Xu Miaoyun raised her eyes and looked at Qingchi who had been standing there wondering what she was thinking about. She was now of the same rank as her, but she showed her face in front of the empress and the emperor's husband twice a day, and it would be difficult for her to see the sky in the future once.

They are also from the sixth grade, why is there such a difference in fortune!Just because her Xu family didn't have a family background, she was not selected by the late emperor as the princess' companion, so no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't catch up with Yan Qingchi?

Sensing the slightly unfriendly gaze, Qingchi looked up, Xu Miaoyun had already retracted her gaze, she looked around, but found nothing.

On the way to the Imperial Academy this morning, she ran into an elder from the Ministry of Officials who was acquainted with the Yan family, and revealed in words that there was a vacancy for the head of the Armed Forces Division of the Ministry of War, and she was worrying about who would take over.

Qingchi knew that this position belonged to Luo Feng, who had rebelled before, and it would be used to take care of the imperial court's military expenses in the future.Although now Xiao Jingtian no longer contradicts the Empress, but everyone knows that there are rough people in the Ministry of War, some of them will reason with you, and everyone avoids this position a bit.

Qingchi was also a little distressed, how should she speak to His Majesty?And daddy... hey!

As the Qianqiu Festival was approaching, the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were busy with work.The list of congratulatory gifts to be offered by civil and military officials and vassal kings has been handed over to the case of the Yizheng Hall.

Jiang Nian glanced at it briefly, then put it aside.He didn't want to spend a lot of time to celebrate his birthday, it was only necessary for state affairs.

Compared with the Qianqiu Festival, he is more concerned about how to spend a special day in the future.

Ning Yuezhao was different. This was her and Jiang Nian's first birthday after marriage, and she tried to make it grand.At this moment, she was holding the gift list and looking at it carefully, "Tsk tsk, these courtiers of mine are really generous!"

The news that the empress has entrusted all the general affairs to the imperial husband has spread quietly in the imperial capital. Regarding Jiang Nian's injury, people still have different speculations. Although they don't know the specific situation, it is obvious that the empress still attaches great importance to this imperial husband.Although some people think that the empress is just a bluff to appease the Jiang family, after all, for a person who may be incapable of writing or martial arts, even if you give him the right to make decisions, what's the use?

Jiang Nian buried his head in the official documents on the case without even raising his eyelids, "Well, these things belong to His Majesty too, and you can dispose of them as you like."

He did not set up his own warehouse in the palace, and moved all his things to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Even now that Ning Yuezhao is going to order to build some fortifications, the opposition can no longer stop them on the grounds that the treasury is empty, after all, there is the emperor's rich private treasury to support it.

Some time ago, the Ministry of Households reported the taxation situation in the first half of the year in various places, and the tax burden of businessmen was reduced at the beginning of the year, but in the state capitals along the coast, the tax paid was higher than that of the same period last year, which made the Ministry of Households People are overjoyed.

Ning Yuezhao was also very happy with the dragon's heart, and rewarded everyone who was able to do things well.

After reading the scriptures, she thought of another thing, and turned to Jiang Nian, "You asked someone from the Ministry of Officials to promote Xu Miaoyun? This seems to be against the rules."

Jiang Nian raised his head and looked at her with a slight smile in his warm eyes, "If we keep her going to the imperial court from time to time, I won't be able to bear His Majesty's jealousy."

"Come on, you are clearly venting your anger for your younger brother, don't use me as a shield."

Ning Yuezhao said this on the lips, but in fact she was full of affection in her heart.Although Xu Miaoyun's rank has been raised by half this time, Jiang Nian's move is really a promotion and a demotion.It's not that she is narrow-minded, but that Xu Miaoyun is really wicked.The last time Feng Shiyang murdered Qingchi, although there was no evidence pointing to Xu Miaoyun, but she had a friendship with Feng Shiyang for no reason during that time, how much was she instigating this matter?

Xu Miaoyun thinks she is smart, and if she does it without leaving any traces, no one will know that she is targeting Qingchi, but she forgot what the result of confronting the imperial power is, she can do small tricks, and they can deal with her calmly, so that others can't make mistakes place.

"I hope that after she goes to the Guangwen Museum, she will read more poems and books on etiquette and righteousness, cultivate her self-cultivation, and stop being jealous of the virtuous and capable."

Regarding Ning Yuezhao's words, Jiang Nian was noncommittal.

"In my opinion, Xu Wu is the only one in the Xu family who understands."

Xu Congxiao's identity, Zuo Ming has already found out, and his life experience is placed in front of the two of them.

"His business in the south of the Yangtze River is inextricably linked with Prince Kangyu's mansion, and now he quietly left with his wife and children, all the way to the south." Ning Yuezhao still has lingering fears about Ming Han's previous series of calculations.Now that Xu Congxiao approached Jiang Ye anonymously, she was a little worried that it was another conspiracy.

Jiang Nian turned his head to look at her, and her worried face was reflected in his black eyes, he couldn't help but chuckled, "If he really wanted to plan something, he wouldn't go south, but should stay in the imperial capital like Ming Han did. Make plans slowly, and wait until Prince Kangyu arrives in a few days, wouldn't it be better to meet in secret before proceeding further?"

Having said that, Jiang Nian stretched out his hand to gently grasp her catkin, "I know you are worried about me, and now Zuo Ming has sent someone to follow along, and will report back immediately if there is any change."

The matter of Yuquan Mountain, Jiang Nian was supposed to be famous all over the world, but he escaped from death by accident, and now he is given the name of being incapable of writing or martial arts. How can Ning Yuezhao not feel sorry for this? regret.

She sat on Jiang Nian's right side and gently rubbed his right arm. He has been writing for a long time today.

"Why don't you ask people to clarify the matter, obviously your right arm is not that serious, and it is recovering well now."

Jiang Nian looked at her with gentle eyes, pretending to be resentful and said: "Hey, I'm afraid I'm going to be disgusted by His Majesty..."

Ning Yuezhao looked at him with slight resentment in her beautiful eyes, and her subordinates deliberately increased her strength, "I despise you very much for looking like you!"

I despise him for being such a rascal, and despise him for always making fun of her!
Jiang Nian pretended to be in pain, "Well, I know I was wrong, my wife is merciful!"

Seeing him begging for mercy, Ning Yuezhao returned to normal strength.

Taking advantage of her gentleness, Jiang Nian said in a calm tone, "How about the head of the Armed Forces Department of the Qingchi Bubing Department?"

Ning Yuezhao frowned slightly, "Qingchi intends to go to the Ministry of War, if you order, she will definitely go there happily. It's just that the Taifu needs to nod for this matter, otherwise I'm afraid he will be unhappy in his heart."

The Yan family had already sacrificed a son for the imperial court. As Yan Zhenglang's most beloved daughter, if she were to be transferred to the Ministry of War, it would have to be approved by him.

Jiang Nian said: "Brother sent someone to tell me that Qingchi has already submitted a post to the Ministry of Rites, recommending herself to be the head of the Armed Forces Department. She should be able to handle it properly on the Taifu's side."

At this time, in the back garden of Lu Mansion.The big green trees cover the sky and the sun, and the pavilion built near the lake isolates a cool world.

There are veils hanging around the pavilion, and a man and a woman in the pavilion are sitting opposite each other across a round table, which is Qingchi and Luji.

"I ran to Shuntian Mansion for several days and didn't find you, so I went back to live in Lu Mansion." Qingchi complained slightly while drinking the tea made by Hangbaiju, "But the pavilion in Lu Mansion is really a good place to cool off , It’s perfect for a nap at noon. Just now I walked all the way, every flower and grass in the mansion are carved with ingenuity, much better than the back hall of Shuntian Mansion.”

There is a chaise longue in the gazebo. It can be seen from its warm armrests that are touched by people that the original owner loved to lie down and take a nap here.

Lu Ji hooked the corners of his lips, "My aunt liked to take a nap here before she was alive."

Qingchi originally wanted to drink tea, but when he heard his slightly sad words, he couldn't help but pause.

She forgot that the whole family of the Lu family was executed at this time last year.
