"Exactly."
Zhao Jingyan smiled proudly and said, "Use the imperial guards and ground them for a month; they have meritorious service in recruiting mountain bandits and are appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry. In the end, we took advantage of this matter."
Qingguan secretly complained that he had taken advantage, but he had relapsed into an old injury. Although she thought so in her heart, she looked at him with deep admiration in her eyes.
Being able to turn a disadvantage into an advantage in a short period of time is definitely not something ordinary people can do. This person is extremely intelligent, has the appearance of an emperor, and is considerate of the weak, which is a blessing to the people.
Qing Guan said lightly: "After joining the Ministry of Industry, the prince will become an important chess piece as soon as you are idle. The prince is worried that he will not find the opportunity to submit his name to the wise king. This is an opportunity."
Zhao Jingyan thought, "The Ministry of Works is in charge of various projects, such as water conservancy, land storage, and transportation. It is a place where money is spent like water. The third child holds the Ministry of War, and what is lacking is money."
"You give him money. As time goes by, he will naturally trust you."
"That's good." Zhao Jingyan nodded.
Qingguan lowered his eyes and moved his fingers slightly: "The slip of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry is in the emperor's heart. If Tinglin wants to ascend to a high position, the powerful ministers can make friends secretly."
She actually thought of the same thing as him. Zhao Jingyan was appreciative in her heart and couldn't help but tell the whole story.
"I asked Gao Xiaofeng last time because I intended to make friends with Gao Shangshu through him, but now it seems that this step can be omitted."
Qing Guan answered, "Don't worry about it. As the saying goes, you must control your heart first. Gao Xiaofeng is the eldest son of Gao. He is quite talented. Apart from being criticized in that regard, he is a good successor."
Zhao Jingyan admired and praised, "This is a wonderful statement. I already have some clues about his affairs, it only takes time."
Qingguan took a deep breath and said: "As for Prince Qing's Mansion, Prince Rui's Mansion... Tinglin, I think we should start with this."
Zhao Jingyan's eyebrows jumped, and the look he looked at the woman became deeper and more complicated.
"you mean?"
"Wu Yanling's marriage is definitely not hers to decide. Who do you think it is?"
Zhao Jingyan thought carefully for a moment, "It should be the meaning of Prince Qing's Palace."
Qingguan then asked: "Why is it not what King Rui meant?"
Behind King Lao Qing is King Rui, and the meaning of King Lao Qing is King Rui.
Zhao Jingyan smiled faintly, "Absolutely impossible."
"Why?" Qingguan asked immediately.
"Just because Hongwen injured Qin Yukun, the Jiang family would not have any idea. In fact, the Qin family hates Hongwen to death."
Qingguan was waiting for him to say this, "So, marrying Wu Yanling to the Jiang family should be King Lao Qing's intention. What is the purpose of King Lao Qing's move?"
These words stopped Zhao Jingyan. He shook his fan a few times and suddenly stopped, looking at the person on the bed like a sword.
"Could it be that... he wants to leave a way out for himself."
Qingguan nodded, "The Jiang family is independent and does not fight with factions. It is the clear stream in the capital. At critical times, relying on our ancestors and the contributions of the Jiang family in teaching and educating people over the years, we may not be unable to speak in front of the emperor."
Zhao Jingyan's eyes flashed and she smiled, "The prince has not yet been decided, the prince is vacant, and the throne will not matter until the end. Even if the prince is established, he can still defeat defeat with one blow and turn defeat into victory. He is afraid that King Rui has thousands of people. One, so…”
"So, he wanted to get his granddaughter into the Jiang family so that he could provide a backup plan for Prince Qing's palace."
Zhao Jingyan and Qing Guan's eyes met, and a smile flashed in their eyes, "So, the old King Qing is not dead-set on King Rui, he has his own selfish motives."
Qingguan nodded, "Since they are not of the same mind, why don't we use a divorce plan to make the monarch and his ministers deviate from each other and go in opposite directions step by step, and then defeat them one by one."
"Great idea."
Zhao Jingyan was so happy that the fan in her hand trembled. He suddenly wanted to hold the woman on the bed into his arms. Among the many counselors in the palace, there has never been one like her who could guess the following sentence just by saying it herself.
Qingguan saw the excitement on his face and remained unmoved. He said lightly: "What we have to do is to plant the seeds of doubt between the two of us. This seed was planted by the old King Qing. We will not Pour some water and let the seeds grow into towering trees for everyone to see."
Zhao Jingyan held Qingguan's hand on the edge of the bed and said, "What are you going to do?"
Qingguan was thinking about his thoughts and didn't notice that his hand was in someone else's. His expression was calm: "Although those three people are dead and there is no real evidence, we can treat them in their own way."
Zhao Jingyan leaned forward a few inches closer and said: "A lot of words make gold, but accumulation of bones will destroy the bones."
Qingguan laughed at himself, "You need to find more people."
"Don't worry, I will make it popular in the city."
Qingguan let out a long sigh of relief. The broken hair beside her ears fell in front of her eyes, blocking her sight. She raised her hand, and then she realized that her hand was being held in someone's palm. She was startled and hurriedly shook it off.
Zhao Jingyan was thick-skinned and seemed completely unaware. She shrugged and said, "Qingwan, I'm really sorry. I got a little excited talking to you and used your hand as a fan."
Gu Qingguan looked at the shaky face and wanted to slap him, but the guy looked innocent and gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please, I really can't hold it anymore."
Zhao Jingyan frowned, as if she couldn't figure it out. It was just a small handshake. Does this woman need to chase people away in a hurry
However, this hand is really soft, soft and boneless, and quite smooth. Zhao Jingyan smiled and said: "Qingguan, for the sake of your illness, I have one more good thing to tell you."
The more Gu Qingguan looked at him, the more he felt that this man's face deserved a beating. He didn't want to speak and just nodded.
"Mr. Zhu went to the Gu Mansion early this morning. According to the schedule, it is probably time to arrive."
Qingguan was surprised, "What is she going to do?"
"First of all, I will know your whereabouts. Secondly, I originally wanted her to make a fuss for you and strike first. However, this time it's going wrong, I'm afraid someone will be shocked."
Qingwan was speechless. These words sounded a bit chewy, and they were vaguely meant to protect her. They were like a gust of wind, blowing away the haze in her heart.
Zhao Jingyan took in the woman's expression, lazily took a sip of tea, and said surprisingly: "I still want to ask something, do you know that man?"
Qingguan was stunned for a moment, and then she realized who the man Zhao Jingyan was talking about was.
She nodded and said simply: "I saved his life when I was practicing medicine in Suzhou Prefecture."
"Do you know his name?" Zhao Jingyan was curious.
Naturally, Qingguan couldn't say the word "Sheng Fang", so he casually said: "He said his name is Hu Yong, but I don't know his real name or pseudonym."
Hu Yong? Come to think of it, it's not his real name. Don't worry, wait until that person comes and take a closer look. A flash of light flashed in Zhao Jingyan's narrow phoenix eyes.
The inner residence of Gu Mansion.
Gu Yanqi paced back and forth in the main room with his hands behind his back, and everyone in the room was silent.
Suddenly, Gu Yanqi flicked his hands and said furiously, "This kind of evil that affects the elders, parents, and the ancestral family, I will have my hair hanged and sent to a nunnery."
Everyone was shocked.
Liu Yatou was defiled by a thief and lost her innocence. The Gu family was also criticized. How could such a woman stay in the house? She could only be at peace after being castrated as a nun.
Sigh... It is true that the sky is unpredictable, and people are prone to misfortunes and misfortunes. In this way, the marriage with the Jiang family is completely ruined. It is really pitiful!
Gu Qingzhi's face was covered with tears. She waited all night, but what she never expected was the news. Liu Mei's life would be over.
Wei was also filled with sadness, but she couldn't refute it. She stayed in the bandit's den for a night, and Liu Yatou, a weak woman, was blessed by God to survive. How could she care about such an innocent person.
Forget it, donate more incense money, this is the fate of this child.
Zhao Huayang was suspicious. He only rescued the person at two o'clock last night. Why did the news spread so early this morning? But that's good. The lunatic's reputation is ruined, and it saves her and the Jiang family a lot of talking.
Second Master Gu said solemnly: "Father, the matter has not been found out yet, Liu Yatou..."
"Don't mention this guy to me."
Gu Yanqi said sternly: "Get the person back immediately and send the nun to be castrated immediately, without any delay."
"Who does Mr. Gu want to send to a nun?"
A charming woman came in with a layer of frost on her face. Who could she be if she wasn't the eldest grandma of the Jiang family
Everyone was shocked. It's over. The Jiang family must have heard the rumors outside and came to cancel the engagement.
Mrs. Zhu walked in gracefully and wished Gu Yanqi and his wife a long blessing.
Wei's face was sweet but her heart was bitter, and she hurriedly greeted her: "Grandma is here, please sit down quickly."
Mrs. Zhu sat down and the maid brought the tea. She picked up the tea lid and plucked the tea leaves. From the corner of her eye, she took in everyone's expressions.
Putting down the tea cup, Mrs. Zhu cleared her throat, "Master, Madam, our ancestors have heard about Miss Sixth."
Everyone in the Gu Mansion felt a little nervous. Looking at their faces and hearing these words, they really came to cancel the engagement.
In order to show that he was reasonable and courteous, Huayang said with a sad face: "It's the sixth girl in my family who is not so lucky. You said it would be fine... but something like this happened. Grandma, don't be embarrassed. Although I am her aunt, I still can't. You know what’s appropriate. If you have any demands, just ask them and we’ll all comply.”
Gu Yanqi and Wei looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Obviously the marriage can't be done, so why not put it in a nicer way? If there is no business, benevolence and righteousness will remain.
Seeing that the time was almost here, Mrs. Zhu said coldly: "My ancestors ordered me to send a message that Miss Sixth was seriously injured. Our ancestors sighed at her pity and ordered her to be taken to Jiang Mansion to recuperate. After she recovered, Miss Sixth was sent back. "
It was like a thunder exploding in my ears.
Everyone in the Gu Mansion was dumbfounded, believing that this grandma was not here to cancel the engagement. Could it be... Could it be... or... Liu Yatou's innocence is still there. Otherwise, how could the ancestor bring people into the house
"The ancestors said that if the sixth lady hadn't been young and had to wait two years, she would have married someone now, so she wouldn't have to worry about being harmed accidentally in this house. "It was like a loud thunder exploded, and everyone in Gu Mansion looked at each other in shock.
