The Wife is First - 91 Chapter 91 Power

Mu Hanzhang felt that it was a waste of time to sympathize with this guy, so he pushed away the big head that was rubbing against his chest: “The imperial court is not a school. How can I not go just because I don’t want to go? I still have a lot of things to do. I don’t care what I say. With a sad look in his eyes, Jing Shao stood up and walked out.

Summoning Yunzhu and asking him to go to Prince Rui’s Mansion first and inform him about Jing Shao’s suspension, Mu Hanzhang didn’t care about his own prince who was still sitting on the carpet and went straight back to Dongyuan’s small study. The regulations that the emperor said must be written out as soon as possible.

Jing Shao watched helplessly as his princess abandoned him, feeling a sense of sadness in his heart that he had lost his career and had to rely on his daughter-in-law to support the family.

When Jingchen heard the news, he came over in person before dinner time. Emperor Hongzheng’s order was that Jing Shao was not allowed to go anywhere, but he did not say that others were not allowed to see him.

“Gu Huaiqing asked me to give this to you.” Jing Shao handed the booklet with the list of officials to Jing Chen.

Jingchen’s face suddenly looked strange: “He has already given me a copy of this.”

Jing Shao: “…”

Jingchen: “…”

“What a Gu Huaiqing, I was so moved for a long time!” Jing Shao was furious, that guy actually used the same thing to deceive the two brothers.

Jingchen looked at the booklet in his hand carefully and found that the list in it was somewhat different from the one he got. He took out the other copy in his sleeve and looked at it, only to find that the two copies together were a complete one. list of contacts. Gu Huaiqing’s move may be to test whether the two brothers are of the same mind. After all, whoever gets such a thing has a lot of power. If the brothers are not of one mind and each takes their own share, they will definitely use it wrongly. When the time comes, the news will reach Gu Huaiqing’s ears, and then this cooperation may be open to question.

“He has so much on his mind.” After hearing his brother’s analysis, Jing Shao was a little confused.

“After all, it is the inheritance left by our ancestors. If I use Dachen Jiangshan as a bet, naturally I will not believe it easily. Jingchen put the two lists together and put them back in his sleeves. There is nothing wrong with Gu Huaiqing’s actions. Resentment, after all, when it comes to cooperating with the vassal king, if their brothers are not of the same mind, something will definitely go wrong, and then the King of Huainan will also suffer.

“Also, Zhao Jiulin, the minister of etiquette, has joined Jing Yu.” Jing Shao took a sip of tea and suddenly remembered the man who followed the fourth prince to search Zuixian Tower today. This was what Gu Huaiqing specially told before leaving.

Jingchen frowned. The Ministry of Etiquette told him that he was in charge of the department. He didn’t expect that Jing Yu’s hand had been stretched out so long.

“Brother, let’s bribe someone in the Ministry of Justice.” Jing Shao said angrily, getting angry when he saw Jing Yu’s proud look.

Jingchen glanced at him: “The Minister of Punishment is my man.”

Jing Shao almost spit out the tea in his mouth.

“From now on, if you don’t understand something in the court, just ask Hanzhang.” Jingchen put down his cup and stood up. It was getting late and King Cheng had just been punished. It was inappropriate for him to come to visit in such a grand manner. Naturally, he couldn’t Stay for dinner again.

After sending his brother away, Jing Shao went back to Dongyuan to find his princess. It seemed that since Jun Qing could go to court, his brother no longer counted on him for matters in the court.

Mu Hanzhang was lying on the desk writing the articles of association for trade, when suddenly a large piece of warm body came from behind: “Are you hungry? Why don’t you eat first, and I’ll finish writing this page.” He patted his shoulder. With his big head, he kept writing in the book and quickly wrote beautiful and powerful words on the paper.

Jing Shao shook his head and watched him finish writing this page before he said, “Jun Qing, how powerful is my brother in the court?”

Mu Hanzhang put down his pen and turned to look at him: “I don’t know how many of them there are, but from what I have seen in the past few days, it seems that at least 30% of the officials in the DPRK are on his side.

However, most of these people hide themselves well, especially those in high positions, like the Minister of War, who often oppose Jingchen’s proposals in the court. So when he came into contact with such a huge force, Mu Hanzhang was also shocked.

It sounds incredible that officials in the court are loyal to a prince. After all, for a monarch with real power like Emperor Hongzheng, most of the court should be in his hands. Just like the four princes, if they want to get half of the cup, It is very difficult to make soup, let alone occupy 30%.

Jing Shao just nodded when he heard this. This was what he expected.

Mu Hanzhang stood up, but the brown candy hanging on his body did not go down, and was still stuck to his back. He had no choice but to drag the big tail to the dining room: “Brother left the palace and built a mansion less than ten years ago, why is he so powerful?”

Jing Shao carried his princess and moved unsteadily. From the study to the place where they lived, he only had to pass through a flower corridor. The surroundings were empty, and he was not afraid of being heard: “Most of them are the influence left by my grandfather.”

Grandfather? Mu Hanzhang frowned and thought for a while. Empress Yuan was not born into a prince’s family. Her father was the prime minister in two dynasties. I heard that when the late emperor died, several princes were in chaos for a while. It was this prime minister. With the help of adults, Emperor Hongzheng was able to successfully defeat those wolf-like brothers and secure his current position. However, I have never heard of the Prime Minister’s faction in these years, and even Jing Shao rarely mentioned it.

“Actually, it’s not that I can’t mention it, it’s just that there’s nothing to say.” After dinner, Jing Shao hugged his princess and sat in the yard to enjoy the cool air. The weather was clear tonight and the stars in the night sky were very bright.

The Empress of the Yuan Dynasty’s mother’s family name was Qu, and she was the youngest and only daughter of Prime Minister Qu. Jing Shao’s two uncles died young and have never been seen in his memory. Later, after the death of Empress Yuan, Prime Minister Qu was very sad because of the loss of his daughter in old age, so he followed him soon after. Fortunately, Jing Chen was able to take charge of his own affairs by then, so the Prime Minister’s faction was not completely collapsed.

Emperor Hongzheng has not established a prime minister in these years, but has divided the prime minister’s duties among six ministries. Could it be to show respect for his father-in-law? Mu Hanzhang frowned, feeling that things were not that simple: “Then what happened to the Zhuo family?”

Jing Shao lowered his head and looked at the head lying on his chest. His fair chin was resting on his heart. His beautiful eyes were very bright reflecting the starlight at night. He couldn’t help but stretched out his hand and rubbed it: “Zhuo Shangshu belongs to my maternal grandfather.” The Zhuo family has a strict family tradition, so my mother chose Zhuo Yunji as my brother’s companion.”

I recall that when Empress Yuan was still there, Jing Shao basically walked sideways in the palace.

The Qu family, the Empress Yuan, the Zhuo family… Mu Hanzhang felt that he seemed to see something unspeakable, and couldn’t help but reach out and touch the corners of Jing Shao’s green mouth: “I will protect you from now on.”

Jing Shao looked at him quietly, then pulled the warm body over and kissed those two soft lips deeply. God took away his mother who loved him, but gave him such a beautiful Junqing. In fact, God has always been kind to him, and he is really satisfied.

The fourth child in Prince Rui’s residence had a high fever and invited Nun Mobei from Biyun Temple to take a look. The old nun gave her a pack of yellow powder, saying that if she mixed it with milk, she would be fine. Mrs. Xiao doubtfully asked the nanny to feed her. After drinking it, the child’s condition actually improved, so she immediately gave him a generous gift. The master was convinced.

“When this child is under one year old, he can see things that ordinary people cannot see. If he cries at night, he is probably caught in something.” Mo Bei, wearing a gray hat, clasped his palms together, said mysteriously.

“Master, look, what is it?” Xiao asked seriously.

“Most of the things that can cause serious diseases are evil things, but maybe they are not,” Mo Bei turned the sandalwood beads on his wrist and said while looking carefully at Mrs. Xiao’s expression, “Forgive me for speaking frankly, but look at the young prince’s The situation may be that something has sucked away the luck, which is what people often say, being overcome by someone with a hard life.”

“A person with a hard life?” Princess Rui frowned, “Can the master figure it out?”

“This…” Mo Bei hesitated.

Mrs. Xiao motioned to the maid beside her to bring up a plate of silver: “As long as the master can find it, the sesame oil money will not be a problem.”

Mo Bei glanced at the silver in the plate and then relaxed: “It will take some time to figure out the origin of this thing. Princess, why don’t you light some everlasting lamps in the nunnery first, so as to ensure peace for the time being.”

When Jingchen came back from the next morning, he saw several nuns standing in the main courtyard. When they saw him coming back, they all blushed and moved aside. They couldn’t help but frown. After thinking about it, they finally didn’t step in. They rolled up their sleeves and went directly to Went to the study.

A few days later, the eldest prince returned to the court.

When the eldest prince Jing Rong returned, it was not as glorious as Jing Shao’s triumphant return. The war was not over yet, and it was really not a glorious thing for the prince to escape before the battle. The eldest prince only took a dozen of his trusted followers with him and entered the city in dejection while there were few people at the city gate in the early morning.

First, he went to the imperial study room to report. Naturally, Emperor Hongzheng would not give him a good look. He went to Fengyi Palace to say hello, and then he greeted her with some greetings.

“You have been away from the capital these days, and it has been hard on your Fourth Emperor brother.” Jihou smiled and rewarded the eldest prince with a bunch of tonics, “It will be nice to come back. It seems that the Qing Dynasty has been reduced a lot. It is really hard. These days are hard.” You have to take good care of it.”

The eldest prince’s face is not very good, with a sickly pale look. Since he was infected with miasma last year, and then contracted a serious disease, his health is getting worse day by day. If he doesn’t come back, he may have to confess to being in Tibet in Yunnan. .

The eldest prince came back, but King Cheng was grounded. There were three princes in the court again, but the situation had changed.

In the palace where King Cheng was banned, only Mu Hanzhang went to court every day, while Jing Shao had nothing to do and could only ravage the tiger at home. He repeatedly tried to persuade his princess not to go to court, but was ruthlessly rejected. What made him even more unhappy was that when he saw him at home, Duofu would ask him about matters that were difficult to deal with. Asking him to handle these trivial matters as a prince really made him furious.

As a result, Xiao Huang’s life became increasingly difficult.
