Chapter 256

A few days later, the candidate for the head of the Armed Forces Department was finally decided.

Zhao Qian didn't hold the imperial edict, looked at Jiang Nian with a slight frown, and said after deliberation: "Your Highness, do you want to reconsider?"

Jiang Nian said casually: "Didn't General Xiao say that this matter should be decided by Gu? This is the person chosen by Gu!"

Zhao Qianwei said with a bitter face: "It's not that I can't trust His Highness, but this is a 17-year-old girl, how can she take the position of the head of the Armed Forces Department?"

Jiang Nian's final candidate was none other than Qingchi.

"The staff has had a headache for a long time about the candidate for the head of the Armed Forces Department, and Qingchi took the initiative to post a self-recommendation to the staff."

"What?" Zhao Qianwei was surprised, "How could a girl volunteer to go to the Ministry of War?"

Could it be that he saw that Luo Feng was greedy for money during the time he was in charge of military resources, and thought it would be beneficial?

Of course, Zhao Qianwei didn't say this idea.

Jiang Nian looked at Zhao Qianwei who looked suspicious, and said: "Qingchi is His Majesty's companion, she was a court lady when His Majesty was still a princess, and she was in charge of palace affairs for a long time. I think she can handle the deployment of military resources. Come."

Zhao Qian didn't hold the imperial edict tightly in his hand, "If there are omissions in the affairs of the palace, they can be repaired in time, but the battlefield is changing rapidly. If there are omissions, the city may be ruined and the family may be destroyed. She will not be afraid of such consequences even if she dies a hundred times." Sorry!"

Although Xiao Jingtian told him not to have any objections as long as it was Jiang Nian's choice, when he saw that Jiang Nian had chosen a young girl, he couldn't help but speak up.

Jiang Nian looked at the resolute Zhao Qianwei, suddenly smiled, and threw another imperial edict on the case at him, "Look."

The edict came towards Zhao Qianwei's face, he reached out to receive it without paying much attention, he didn't want a thin roll of edict to be mixed with internal strength, he was caught off guard, and took a few steps back before standing still.

Who said that the imperial husband's martial arts were useless, Zhao Qianwei didn't know how much power he used, anyway, if he used all his strength, it would be impossible for him to compete with the person in front of him.

Facing the noble man with a calm smile in front of him, Zhao Qianwei reluctantly opened the edict, and the content inside surprised him——

"Your Highness, do you want Wei Chen to be the doctor of the Ministry of War?"

Zhao Qianwei is now just a general without a real job, how can he not be surprised that Jiang Nian actually promoted him to be a military attache of the third rank.

Jiang Nian said indifferently: "Feng Yuzhang, the former doctor of the Ministry of War, has been demoted by His Majesty, and now this position is vacant. I feel that General Zhao is thoughtful and cautious, and he deserves this position. General Zhao has been in the army for many years, assisting General Xiao You have handled many affairs, so it is very suitable for you to take up this position. Although Qingchi intends to study military affairs, she is too young after all. With General Zhao to guide her, she will grow into a qualified chief in no time."

Before Zhao Qian opened his mouth, he wanted to say something but couldn't say it.

The imperial husband has already decided to let Yan Qingchi be the head of the Armed Forces Department. If he resigns from the position of doctor, who knows what kind of troubles will be caused by a yellow-haired girl with no one watching.

The imperial husband's methods are really superb. He appointed the person he likes to be the head of the Armed Forces Department, and promoted him to an official position, which made him unable to refuse the appointment.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your appreciation!"

After all, Zhao Qianwei knelt down to thank Jiang Nian for his decision.

When Zhao Qianwei left the Palace of Political Affairs with two edicts in mind, a tall and handsome figure walked out from the back of the palace.

Jiang Nian glanced at the man indifferently, "Gu originally wanted to transfer you to the Ministry of War to be the doctor, but you refused. Now that the order has been issued, don't come to beg Gu if you regret it."

This person is none other than Lu Ji.

He went to see Jiang Nian in the palace today and told him about his engagement to Qingchi.

Jiang Nian immediately asked him, "Have you thought about it, you really have no objection to Qingchi going to the Ministry of War."

Although there is nothing to do at ordinary times, Qingchi only needs to deal with affairs in the court, but once there is a war, in order to ensure that the military resources reach the front line safely, she will inevitably accompany her.

Lu Ji had made up his mind before entering the palace, and he nodded firmly, "I have made up my mind, if Your Highness thinks Qingchi is okay, I will not object. I entered the palace today to convey to Your Highness that neither the Yan family nor my fiancé has any objections. "

In this way, Ning Yuezhao no longer has any worries.

Jiang Nian looked at Lu Ji with a firm face, as if he saw himself who had just been married.He pondered: "How about this, the position of military officer is still vacant, so Gu promoted you, so that you can get along day and night."

Lu Ji shook his head, "Your Highness's kindness is appreciated, but I don't have military qualifications. You have already faced huge criticism for appointing Qingchi as the head of the Armed Forces Department. If you let me be promoted two ranks to become a doctor of the Ministry of War, then Your Highness You are really going to be on the cusp, and others will say that you are nepotism. What's more, I don't have the ability to be qualified for this position."

Considering that Lu Ji was still in his filial piety period, and because Qingchi and Lu Ji got close before, Feng Shiyang would hate Qingchi because of jealousy, and frantically wanted to kill Qingchi.So Yan Zhenglang and Lu Ji discussed it, and made a verbal agreement in advance, with tokens as proof, when Lu Ji's filial piety period was about to expire, he would write a marriage letter and submit it to the government for record, so that the marriage could be done.

Jiang Nian had this idea because he was afraid of having long nights and dreams. After all, Qingchi still pretended to be Yan Mo in his heart.

Lu Ji was quite calm, "I think that the post of doctor in the Ministry of War should not be held by someone with military experience. General Zhao came here under the order of Xiao Jingtian. This person is safe, so let him take it." He has received His Highness's favor, and he will definitely not go against His Highness's decision again."

Jiang Nian smiled dumbly, Lu Ji's thoughts were consistent with his original one.He originally preferred Zhao Qian not to be a doctor of the Ministry of War, but when he first heard that Lu Ji and Qingchi were engaged, he became selfish in helping his friend.Unexpectedly, Lu Ji and him thought of going together.

When Zhao Qian came, Lu Ji retreated to the apse first, and everything went smoothly as they expected.

So facing Jiang Nian's narrow words at this moment, Lu Ji responded generously, "Since Qingchi has promised me, I will definitely not go back on it. I have confidence in her. If you push her too hard, it will be counterproductive."

Thinking of how he was forbearing step by step back then, Jiang Nian smiled and stopped entangled in this issue.

"Let's go, your daughter-in-law and the lonely daughter-in-law have been visiting the Imperial Garden for a long time, find someone to go!"

At this time, in the gazebo of the Imperial Garden.

Ning Yuezhao leaned on the railing of the bench, took fish food from the porcelain bowl held by Lan Sha, and fed it to the koi in the pool under the railing.

"Unexpectedly, you would take the initiative to ask to marry Lu Ji!"

The koi in the pond scrambled to eat the fish food sprinkled by Ning Yuezhao. For a while, the calm water in the pond was disturbed by red, yellow or white koi, just like the thoughts of Qingchi sitting opposite Ning Yuezhao.

She angrily took fish food from Zhu Yun who was standing beside her, and sprinkled it heavily into the pool.

"I figured it out later, my father had already taken a fancy to Lu Ji, and he set up a trick and waited for me to take advantage of it!"

Ning Yuezhao blinked, "The marriage letter has not yet been written, but the edict for your transfer to the Ministry of War has been issued. If you want to go back on your word, there is still time."

She and Jiang Nian knew Lu Ji's thoughts long ago, and they also knew Qingchi's thoughts about Yan Mo.In any case, there is little hope for Qingchi and Yanmo to bear fruit, not as good as Lu Ji.

Of course, Ning Yuezhao herself has suffered from being influenced by others in her marriage. Although she and Jiang Nian are now in the rain, Qingchi has no affection for Lu Ji, so she will become a resentful spouse in the future. She never intervened in the matter from beginning to end.Now she is afraid that Qingchi is a temporary brain fever and regrets it afterwards.

Qingchi shook his head, "The words have already been spoken, how can we go back on it. Besides, there is nothing wrong with someone who treats me wholeheartedly, just like His Royal Highness and you."

Thinking of seeing the lonely figure in white clothes in Lu's mansion that day, she felt a little sour in her heart.It is true that Lu Ji treats her well, and that is enough.Isn't that true of most couples in this world?Respect each other as guests and carry each other for a lifetime.

When Jiang Nian was mentioned, Ning Yuezhao unconsciously smiled.

Meeting Jiang Nian and marrying Jiang Nian were the luckiest things in her life.

God treats her kindly, let her join hands with such a man who is whole-hearted and purely good to her for the rest of her life.

Seeing the two people walking together on the cobblestone road in the distance, Ning Yuezhao bent her lips, "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."

Qingchi turned his head and looked in the direction Ning Yuezhao was looking at.

Two tall and slender figures came side by side, one in a green shirt like bamboo, the other in a vermilion official robe, isn't it Jiang Nian and Lu Ji they are talking about?

Meeting that focused gaze, Qingchi pressed the white jade swan pair next to his body.

Why was she so stupid before, thinking that the person Lu Ji liked was Ning Yuezhao?The person he has been looking at is himself!
Thinking of this, the uneasiness in her heart gradually subsided, and a smile slowly bloomed on her lips in response to that gaze.

"My minister sees Your Majesty!" Lu Ji saluted Ning Yuezhao.

Qingchi also got up, and was about to salute Jiang Nian, but Jiang Nian waved his hand, "Okay! Lu Ji, take your wife away." So as not to hinder him from getting close to Ning Yuezhao.

Lu Jijun's face flushed slightly, while Ning Yuezhao took Qingchi's hand and pushed the person towards him.

"I still have important matters to discuss with the emperor, Lu Ji, send Qingchi back."

Qingchi, who felt like being thrown into a pile, was very speechless to these two people, it was obvious that you guys were trying to get bored, and you still used me as a shield.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Lu Ji took Qingchi's hand along the trend, and calmly withdrew.Lan Sha and Zhu Yun also retreated outside the gazebo tactfully, leaving space for them to be alone.

Seeing Qingchi stiffly follow Lu Ji away, Ning Yuezhao smiled and pulled Jiang Nian to sit beside him.

"When you see them, you think of us last year."

Jiang Nian took her by the shoulders, "My husband was in a much more difficult situation than Lu Ji at that time, but the lady was stingy with giving even a smile, thanks to my husband's thick skin."

Ning Yuezhao gave him a white look, "You are quite self-aware."

Jiang Nian smiled heartily, lifted her chin, and pressed a kiss on her lips.

Just when he wanted to deepen the kiss, an untimely voice came from outside the pavilion——

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, it's not good, the building outside the building was smashed by Mr. Jiang Ge, and the third son was taken back to Jiang's Mansion!"

 happy New Year to all!Happy new year, safe and sound!
