Mu Hanyang feel that they sympathize with this guy is a waste of time, pushed away in his chest rubbing the big head: "The court is not a school, how can you say not to go on not to go, I still have a lot of things to do." Said also do not care Jing Shao sad eyes, get up and go out.
Summoned Yunzhu let him first go to a Rui Wang Fu, the matter of Jing Shao was grounded to know a, Mu Huanzhang also do not care about the carpet is still sitting on the carpet of his own prince, directly back to the East Garden small study, just Hongzheng Emperor said the constitution, but also must write out as soon as possible.
Jing Shao watched as his own princess left him, and a feeling of sadness arose in his heart that he had lost his career and had to rely on his daughter-in-law to support his family.
When Jing Chen heard the news, he personally ran over before dinner time. Emperor Hongzheng's order was for Jing Shao not to go anywhere, but he didn't say that no one else was allowed to visit him.
"This is what Gu Huaiqing asked me to give you." Jing Shao handed the pamphlet with the list of officials to Jing Chen.
Jing Chen's face suddenly looked a bit strange: "This, he has already given me a copy."
Jing Shao: "......"
Jing Chen: "......"
"Good Gu Huaiqing, I was moved for a long time!" Jing Shao was furious, that guy even coaxed both of their brothers with the same thing.
Jing Chen took a closer look at the booklet in his hand and realized that the list was a bit different from the one he got, so he took out the other one in his sleeve and looked at it, only to realize that the two together were a complete list of contacts. Gu Huaiqing's move might be to test whether the two brothers are of one mind or not, after all, this kind of thing in the hands of whoever is not a small power. If the brothers weren't of one mind, and each took their own share, they would inevitably use it wrongly, and then the news would reach Gu Huaiqing's ears, so I'm afraid this cooperation would be open to question.
"He thinks a lot." After hearing his brother's analysis, Jing Shao was a bit confused.
"After all, it's the foundation left behind by our ancestors, if I were to use the Da Chen rivers and mountains as a bet, naturally I wouldn't trust it so easily." Jing Chen put the two lists together and put them back into his sleeve. There was no resentment towards Gu Huaiqing's approach, after all, when working with a vassal king on something like this, if they were not of one mind as brothers, something was bound to go wrong, and when that time came, King Huai Nan would also suffer with him.
"Also, that Minister of Rites, Zhao Jiulin, has defected to Jing Yu." Jing Shao took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered the person who had followed the Fourth Prince to search Drunken Immortal House today, which was what Gu Huaiqing had specifically explained when he left.
Jing Chen frowned, the Ministry of Rites made the department he was in charge of, he didn't realize that Jing Yu's hand had already reached so far.
"Brother, let's also buy off someone at the Ministry of Criminal Affairs." Jing Shao said indignantly, seeing Jing Yu's smug look made him angry.
Jing Chen glanced at him, "The Minister of Justice is my man."
Jing Shao almost sprayed the tea in his mouth.
"In the future, if there is anything you don't understand in the courtroom, go ask Hanyang." Jing Chen put down his cup and stood up, it was getting late, King Cheng had just been punished, it was already inappropriate for him to come to visit in such a grand manner, so naturally he could not stay for dinner.
After sending his brother away, Jing Shao wilted and went back to the East Court to look for his own Princess, as if since Jun Qing could go to the court, his brother no longer counted on him for matters in the courtroom.
Mu Hanzhang is crouching on the case to write the constitution of trade, suddenly behind the back of a large piece of hot body: "Hungry? Why don't you eat first, I'll finish writing this page." Patting the big head on his shoulder, the pen in the book did not stop, quickly writing down a single elegant and powerful word on the paper.
Jing Shao shook his head and watched him finish the page before speaking, "Junqing, just how powerful is brother in the dynasty?"
Mu Hanzhang put down his pen and turned his head to look at him, "How many of all of them I don't know, but from what I've come into contact with in the past few days, it seems that at least 30% of the officials in the court are on his side."
However, most of these people were well hidden, especially those in high positions, like the Minister of War, who from time to time would also oppose Jing Chen's proposals in the courtroom. So when he came into contact with such a huge force, Mu Hanzhang was also startled.
The officials in the court have three times the effectiveness of loyalty to a prince, this sounds very incredible, after all, Hongzheng Emperor such a real power in the hands of the monarch, the dynasty should be in his hands for the most part, just like the fourth prince, if you want to get half a cup of soup in this is very difficult, let alone occupying thirty percent.
Jing Shao just nodded at his words, these were expected.
Mu Hanyang got up, hanging on the body of the cowhide but did not go down, still sticking to his back, helpless only to drag this big tail to the dining hall: "Brother out of the palace to build a house less than ten years, why would this be so powerful?"
Jing Shao grasped his own princess, wobbling and moving his steps, from the study to where they lived, only need to pass through a flower corridor, surrounded by emptiness, and not afraid of being heard: "Mostly the forces left behind by maternal grandfather."
The first time I saw you, I was in the middle of the night, and I was in the middle of the night. Mu Hanyang frowned and thought about it, the yuan queen is not from the family of public officials, her father is the prime minister of the two dynasties, I heard that when the late emperor died, several princes struggling for a period of time really chaotic, it is the prime minister of the Lord's efforts to assist, Hongzheng Emperor was able to successfully defeat those few like tigers brothers, sitting in the current position. However, these years have never heard of the Prime Minister's faction, even Jing Shao also seldom mentioned.
"It's actually not that I can't mention it, it's just that there's nothing to say." After dinner, Jing Shao hugged his own princess and sat in the courtyard to cool off, tonight the weather was clear and the stars in the night sky were very bright.
Yuan queen mother's family name is Qu, she is the youngest and only daughter of Prime Minister Qu, Jing Shao's two uncles died at an early age, in his memory has never seen. Later Yuan died, Qu Prime Minister old age loss of daughter is very sad, not long also followed, good at that time Jing Chen can already be a unique, only did not make the Prime Minister faction completely collapsed.
Emperor Hongzheng hadn't established a prime minister all these years, but instead divided the position of prime minister among the six ministries, could it be that it was to show respect for his father-in-law? Mu Hanzhang frowned, feeling that things were not that simple, "Then what's going on with the Zhuo family?"
Jing Shao looked down at the head lying on his chest, his white chin resting on his heart, his beautiful eyes reflecting the starlight of the night was very bright, he couldn't help but reach out and rub: "Zhuo Shangshu is the disciple of his maternal ancestor, and the Zhuo family's style is strict, which is why the mother's wife picked Zhuo Yunji to be her brother's companion."
Thinking back to when Empress Yuan was still around, Jing Shao was basically walking sideways in the palace.
The Qu family, the Yuan queen, and the Zhuo family ...... Mu Hanzhang felt that he seemed to see something unspeakable, and could not help but reach out and touch the corners of Jing Shao's greenish mouth, "In the future, there will be me to protect you."
Jing Shao quietly looked at him, then pulled over that warm body and deeply kissed those two soft lips. God took away the mother who loved him, but gave him such a wonderful Junqing, God treats him actually has not been thin, he is really very contented.
Rui Wang House in the youngest son of a high fever, asked the Biyun nun Mo Pei nuns came to see. The old nun gave a packet of yellow powder, said it is mixed with milk and drink it will be good, Xiao's will be skeptical to let the nanny fed, after drinking the child's condition really improved, immediately gave a generous gift to the master that is convinced.
"When this little child is not full of years old, he can see things that normal people can not see, and when the little child cries at night, he is mostly haunted by something." Mo Bei with a top gray hat, closed his palms, very mysterious Road.
"Master take a look, what exactly is it?" Xiao asked seriously.
"Those who can cause maladies are mostly Yin and evil things, but they may not be," Mo Pei turned the sandalwood beads on her wrist, carefully looking at Xiao's expression as she spoke, "Forgive the poor nun for speaking frankly, but judging from the condition of the young prince, he may have been sucked out of his luck by something, or as they often say, being hardened by his life ."
"A person with a hard life?" Princess Rui frowned, "A master might have calculated that?"
"This ......" Mo Pei was a little hesitant.
Xiao signaled the maid on the side to bring up a plate of silver: "As long as the master can find out, the incense oil money won't be a problem."
Mo Pei glanced at the silver in the plate, which loosened his mouth, "To figure out the origin of this thing will take some time, why don't you first point some long bright lights in the nunnery, or to keep the peace for a while."
Jing Chen came back from the court, he saw a few nuns standing in the main courtyard, see him back, are blushing to one side to avoid, can not help but frown, thought about the end is not stepped into, flung his sleeve directly to the study.
A few days later, the Grand Prince returned to the court.
The big prince Jing Rong returned, can not have Jing Shao triumphantly returned to that kind of scenery, the war is not yet over, the prince fled from the battlefield, really is not something honorable. Great Prince only with a dozen or so close friends, taking advantage of the early morning gate less people, gray slipped into the city.
First went to the Royal Study Room to report, Hongzheng Emperor naturally will not give any good face, to Feng Yi Palace to ask for peace, following the Queen is pulling some hush hush.
"You are not in the capital these days, can be bitter your fourth emperor brother," after the queen smiled and rewarded the eldest prince a bunch of supplements, "back on good, look at the reduction of quite a lot, really is suffering, these days can be well nourished."
The big prince's face is not very good, with some sickly pale, since last year in the miasma, and then contracted a malady, the body is not as good as a day, if not come back, I am afraid that will be accounted for in Dianzang.
The eldest prince came back, but King Cheng was on grounding, and the imperial prince in the court became three people again, only the situation changed.
When King Cheng was grounded in the royal residence, only Mu Hanzhang himself went to court every day, and Jing Shao, who had nothing to do, was left to ravage the tigers at home. And his repeated attempts to persuade his own royal consort not to go to court were ruthlessly rejected. What made him even more unhappy was that when he saw him at home, Duo Fu would come to him with matters that he couldn't handle well, making him, the titular Prince, deal with these trivial matters of chicken and garlic, which really made him furious.
So, the days of Yellow got worse and worse.
