Chapter 432 Three Imperial Edicts
Rong Yan pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek, thought for a while and said: "The little girl is still young, wait until she grows up."
The incident happened last time, and now he tries to avoid suspicion as much as possible, not to embarrass Jiaojiao, and not to anger his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Old lady Rong choked, seeing her grandson's serious expression, so she could only smile, "Forget it, grandma will also go out on the street in two days, maybe I will run into Xiao Jiaojiao."
Rong Yan pursed his lips and let out a "hmm".
"By the way, Yan'er, how is the situation in the palace?" Mrs. Rong asked cautiously holding the Buddhist beads.
She knew she shouldn't ask these questions, but rumors spread everywhere, and today there was even rumors that the faction of Prince Yang's mansion was going to fight for the throne. There are so many family members in the mansion, so if there are any changes, it's better to prepare in advance.
Without changing his face, Rong Yan poured a cup of tea for his grandmother, and replied: "Grandmother don't need to pay attention to the rumors, how can there be chaos, the emperor has woken up today, but his body is weak and he can't speak well, wait a little longer, there should be a decree .”
Old lady Rong smiled when she heard this, patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, and said with emotion: "The world is peaceful, and the people are blessed."
…
After dinner, Rong Yan asked about Xuan Liu Jiaojiao.
"Did Princess Shengyuan contact the Wang family?"
Xuan Liu shook his head, and hurriedly replied: "Master, the hidden guards are always protecting you, and there is no trace of Princess Shengyuan's subordinates."
Rong Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, and said in a cold voice: "That woman Sheng Yuan is full of bad things, she might be holding back some big moves, always pay attention to their movements, once they appear, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Yes!"
Xuan Liu frowned afterwards, and told the master about the marriage between the Wang family and the Sifu, and the second lady's purchase of good medicine, and about Jian Jia's involvement.
Rong Yan frowned when he heard that, from yesterday to today, Prince Gong convened ministers to discuss matters all day long, he was busy in the palace and couldn't take care of Jiaojiao, so many things happened in just two days.
His voice was indifferent, "Where is Jian Jia?"
Xuan Liu bowed his head and replied respectfully: "Master, Jian Jia is still in Wang's house now, and Miss Baojiao is very kind to her, so she found an excuse to let Xuan Qin take her place. She'll be back then to take the punishment."
Hearing this, Rong Yan's handsome face was still indifferent, and his eyes were full of coldness.
She was doomed to lose sight of the light when she came out of Prince Yang's mansion. She was originally there to amuse Jiaojiao, but now she worried the master and almost planted a disaster.
They all forget their own duty, so what is the use of such slaves.
"Come back tomorrow and ask her to go to Xuan Yi to receive the punishment. For the time being, she will hang her life and wait for Jiaojiao to adapt to the new slave."
"Yes, master."
Rong Yan said casually: "Tomorrow, I will carry two boxes of jade calligraphy and paintings from the storeroom to the Sifu. This should be a celebration gift."
Xuan Liu leaned over and replied: "Yes."
Rong Yan rubbed his temples,
As for the second sister's purchase of medicinal materials, he secretly purchased a batch of medicinal materials as early as a month ago, and prepared them for others at Qingma Pass. give her.
In the past, the second sister bought medicine on the way back, but this time she never wanted to go to Good Medicine.
He naturally knew that Wang Qiusheng was behind the good medicine, and he also understood Qiusheng's temperament, so he agreed to the second sister's request.
Forget it, after all, the Great Jin Regulations will be changed after a while, so it's not a big deal.
…
Two days later,
The emperor suddenly appeared in the court hall and issued three imperial edicts.
The first way: Strictly investigate the thieves who colluded with the country, strictly arrest the remnants of Yang Wang, and severely punish those who confuse the public with rumors.
The second way: Regarding the provocations of the small countries in the border towns, I ordered General Luo not to be merciless.
The third is also the most shocking one: the emperor used the excuse of physical discomfort to cultivate, and specially ordered Prince Gong and Wang Shi to assist the government, and the empress dowager kept the jade seal until he recovered.
Although everyone was shocked, they felt that this incident was justifiable. After all, the emperor was assassinated and damaged the dragon's body so much that he had to rest for a few months.
Prince Gong has the deepest qualifications and the longest seniority, and the national teacher has a high reputation in the hearts of the people. No one would gossip and object to these two people assisting the government.
With these three imperial decrees, the rumors disappeared in an instant, and no one dared to discuss it. The restless and frightened people seemed to be reassured, and the streets returned to their former bustle and bustle on the second day.
The most lively thing recently is the marriage between Zhuangyuan Mansion and Shangshu Mansion.
The common people just chatted about the excitement after dinner and tea, and the noble ladies in the Beijing circle ridiculed one after another, saying that it was Princess Jinyuan who lost power, so Miss Si Jia picked up the leak, and she didn't pick up a precious one, but she could read when she was free. A poor scholar, if he marries in the future, he may be trained by his mother-in-law and aunt in the countryside.
Especially the young lady of the prime minister's mansion suffered a loss in the hands of Jiaojiao Si Mingyue, and even spread ridicule wantonly. The old lady of the Si family fell in love with her face and married into the countryside at the expense of despicableness.
Everyone was talking about it. On the second day, the champion of the new department wore an official robe and entered the Zhongshu Province to take up a post. He was still the third-rank minister.
Everyone shut up in an uproar. The Zhongshu Province can be said to be the gathering place for the confidantes of the emperors of all dynasties. Even the prime minister is a little bit afraid, and the others dare not easily offend.
Palace,
After the morning court, Qiu Sheng walked out with Uncle Si.
"Master Si is very lucky to have such a fast-paced son-in-law."
"The assistant minister's proposal just now is very wonderful. He is worthy of being praised by Prince Gong. He is really a fearsome young man..."
The oncoming officials all smiled and flattered them.
Wang Qiusheng's face was indifferent, with a gentle appearance that was neither humble nor overbearing.
Master Si couldn’t get used to what they said, yesterday he was ridiculed behind his back with a sarcasm and sarcasm, but today he suddenly changed the direction of the wind, and now he came over with a thick skin, as if each face was thicker than the city wall.
"The old man hasn't eaten yet, he's been hungry all morning, please make way!"
As he spoke, Master Si pushed away the surrounding guards unceremoniously.
Wang Qiusheng nodded and left.
The officials looked at each other. Although they were dissatisfied with their ignorance, they did not dare to speak too much. They all smiled and said to people: "Si Shangshu, Wang Shilang, go slowly..."
Prince Gong has always liked Si Shangshu's straightforward nature, and Si Shangshu and the national teacher are also on good terms. Now that his son-in-law has entered the Zhongshu Province again and has become a third-rank servant, he is not easy to offend.
Out of the palace,
Mr. Si also said to Qiu Sheng in the carriage: "Don't lose your head when you are a third-rank official. Do things in a peaceful manner. You must be clear of your heart in everything. You don't have to be intimate with those who don't agree with you. Those individuals are just profiting from you. , You don’t have to be too talkative, if you are too gentle, one by one will trip you up, be majestic when you should be majestic, and let them maintain their respect for you at all times.”
Qiu Sheng nodded and responded with a smile: "Thank you for your teaching, Uncle, Qiu Sheng understands."
