Lu Yunzheng's mind also became clear at this time.
“It would be terrible if this was all a bureaucracy.”
Yes, if the Pei family deliberately found a man who looked similar to Lu Yunzheng to seduce Princess Mingxin, and after the two got married, General Zhenbei would have no choice but to give power to his son-in-law.
Pei Yuanshan is the Third Prince's man, which means that the Third Prince has obtained the military power of the General Zhenbei.
If all this is a setup, and Princess Mingxin is the one they are using, then all the feelings are fake, and what they ultimately gain is power.
Liu Qiaoer didn't dare to think further, this world was too dangerous.
"Why don't you quickly get someone to investigate Pei Yuanhai's background and find out whether this is a trap set by the Third Prince."
Lu Yunzheng looked at the anxious Liu Qiaoer and hugged her distressedly: "Okay, don't worry, I'll ask someone to check it out right away, but Qiaoer, even if we find out now that Pei Yuanhai is just using Princess Mingxin, it's too late..."
Yes, Princess Mingxin is with Pei Yuanhai.
Liu Qiaoer narrowed her eyes slightly, revealing a fierce look.
"If Pei Yuanhai really dares to let Mingxin down, I will kill him."
Who knew that what happened later was even more abominable than they had imagined.
Lu Yunzheng finally managed to calm Liu Qiaoer down, and it was almost midnight.
The prince would set off fireworks at the gate of the imperial city at this time every year so that both the emperor and the people could have fun together. At this time, many people would gather at the gate of the city, waiting to watch the fireworks.
Lu Yunzheng and Liu Qiaoer's room is in a good location and they can see the fireworks by opening the window.
After the flower boat stopped, some people got off the boat and some stayed on the boat.
Liu Qiaoer saw that the brothers Pei Yuanshan and Pei Yuanhai had also gotten off the boat, and there was a woman from Zuiyuefang in their room.
Pei Yuanhai has been holding a bright and beautiful woman in his arms, but she is not from Zuiyuefang.
The woman snuggled in Pei Yuanhai's arms, affectionately and passionately, with her clothes half-opened to reveal her snow-white skin. As Pei Yuanhai walked, he would occasionally touch the snow-white part of her waist.
That ridiculous look doesn't make him look like a weak scholar at all, but more like one.
Liu Qiaoer became even angrier. She rolled her eyes and pulled Lu Yunzheng off the boat.
"No, I have to vent my anger today. I am really uncomfortable. He already has Princess Mingxin, but he is still not chaste and is flirting with other women..."
Lu Yunzheng couldn't persuade her any more and could only follow her off the boat.
"Hey, isn't this the talented and famous Mr. Pei..."
Liu Qiaoer greeted Pei Yuanhai with a half-smile, and Pei Yuanhai was a little drunk.
But when he looked closely, he realized that the woman in front of him was Liu Qiaoer, and he hurriedly pushed the woman in his arms away. His flustered look was visibly visible, which made Liu Qiaoer look at him with contempt.
"Miss Liu, Mr. Lu." Pei Yuanhai was still able to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor in front of them.
Liu Qiaoer looked the woman up and down with a sharp gaze and said sarcastically: "The Pei family is a famous family in Luzhou, and I didn't know that Master Pei had such a refined taste..."
Pei Yuanshan saw Pei Yuanhai's embarrassment and hurried to help: "It turns out that Miss Liu and Master Lu also came to watch the fireworks. I think Miss Liu must have some misunderstandings about my brother. This girl is just a maid that Master Song gave to me."
"I think Miss Liu will not talk too much in front of the princess. After all, she is just a maid. The princess will definitely not take it seriously."
The nobles in the capital would give young and beautiful women as gifts to each other.
If Liu Qiaoer continued to investigate, the woman might be sold or killed by Pei Yuanhai. She couldn't ignore the life and death of others just to seek justice for Mingxin.
She was so angry that her face turned gloomy. She couldn't help but say something harsh: "Okay, after all, it's a matter between them. I won't say anything and I won't pursue it. If I knew that Master Pei bullied Princess Mingxin, his fate would not be as good as yours."
Pei Yuanshan smiled politely, but a hint of ferocity flashed in the corner of his eyes.
He has always been brooding over the fact that Liu Qiaoer poisoned him. Last time, he found someone from Medicine King Valley to detoxify him. If she poisoned him again, he would never be able to find anyone from Medicine King Valley to detoxify him.
Liu Qiaoer is now Prince Yi Zhao Ziyu's person. If something happens to her and Prince Yi pursues the matter, the Third Prince will not be able to protect him.
As the saying goes, beware of gentlemen, not villains. Pei Yuanshan really has no way to deal with Liu Qiaoer.
After politely sending Liu Qiaoer away, Pei Yuanshan reminded Pei Yuanhai not to be too arrogant.
Pei Yuanhai didn't care at all and hugged the woman beside him and rubbed her again.
"She looks quite decent on the surface, but in reality, she is crazier than the other. She is just a maid. I don't want Lu Yunzheng to treat her as a human being. My lord, believe it or not, I will be able to take her down in a few days."
Pei Yuanshan recalled the days when he was tortured by Liu Qiaoer's poison, and felt so miserable that he immediately warned him: "Don't mess around. That girl is different from other women. She is very vicious."
Pei Yuanhai raised his eyebrows, as if he heard it, and as if he didn't hear it.
With a 'pop' sound, the fireworks exploded in the air, like a flower, pleasing to the eye.
Liu Qiaoer never thought that Pei Yuanhai would set his sights on her.
The next day, the court announced the positions assigned to these Jinshi scholars.
Gu Mubai was going to a county under Liangzhou in the east to serve as a sixth-rank county magistrate. He was going to set off three days after receiving the document from the Ministry of Personnel.
This time, Gu Mubai not only brought Xia Ying with him, but also his old mother. Lu Yunzheng asked Qi Ze's brother Qi Yuan to bring a few guards to follow Gu Mubai and protect him.
Lu Yunzheng stayed in the capital and worked as a seventh-rank governor in the Ministry of Public Security.
The Tongzhengsi was the department that managed memorials written by court officials to the emperor.
Not all officials could submit memorials directly to the emperor.
After the memorial was submitted to the Ministry of Public Administration, it would be sorted out by them and written out in a simple and clear manner according to the general writing style of memorials before it could be presented to the emperor.
After the emperor's review, it will be distributed to various officials through them.
This official position may not seem important, but it is the place with the most news and information.
Lu Yunzheng knew that this official position was requested for him by Prince Yi Zhao Ziyu who went to provide disaster relief.
Its main function does not need to be explained explicitly, Lu Yunzheng also knows it.
Pei Yuanhai also got his official position down. As expected, he benefited from the help of Princess Mingxin and became a member of the Capital's Commandery, in charge of the capital's public security. He rode his horse around the streets every day, looking very impressive.
This position was considered a sixth-rank military officer. Pei Yuanshan appointed a weak scholar as a military officer, obviously wanting him to get closer to the General Zhenbei.
The Minister of Personnel is the third prince Zhao Yangxu's man. It can be seen that the arrangement of this group of Jinshi was painstaking.
Almost all those who had connection with the third prince were settled in the capital.
Those without background, like Gu Mubai, went to remote places to serve as county magistrates or something like that.
Some who were won over by the prince and others went to work in the civil service, in unimportant positions such as editing and compiling.
However, the prince did not care about these things because the academy he established started recruiting students after the New Year.
As Liu Qiaoer expected, the academy was run by several old teachers and was personally run by the prince. The first batch of 200 students were recruited, and the places were snapped up as soon as they were released.
Among them were many children of prominent families in the capital, as well as children of wealthy and aristocratic families.
