I don't know if he was persuaded by Wen Mingxuan to leave, but Wen Qingzhu felt that he was a bit mediocre.
News came back from the imperial mausoleum that Princess Yijia's mausoleum has been opened and construction is ready to begin.
After Wen Qingzhu read the letter, he knew that Pei Yu would definitely be uneasy.
But there is also good news from Lu Tao.
"Fu Shiyi has been very close to Miss Pei in the past two days. Today he took Miss Pei to his house to see Zhang Yao. Miss Pei is a smart person and immediately expressed that if she likes Zhang Yao very much, she hopes she can go to Pei's house to spend more time with her. Stay with yourself.”
Wen Qingzhu curled up his lips: "Pei Yu is very smart. In fact, he could directly assassinate Zhang Yao, but he was worried about losing Fu Shiyi, so he gradually tried his best."
Wen Qingzhu frowned as if he thought of something.
Lu Tao was a little puzzled: "Didn't the matter settle smoothly? Why is the lady still frowning?"
Wen Qingzhu looked out the window attentively and said: "I always feel that something is wrong. Things are going so smoothly that I feel like I have fallen into someone else's trap."
"Trap? Is it Prime Minister Pei's?" Lu Tao was a little confused.
Wen Qingzhu shook her head. The appearance of a person appeared in her mind, but it was not Pei Yu's appearance.
As soon as Fu Lie left, the military power of the capital was naturally handed over to the prince.
In addition to some veteran generals from the capital's nobility, the prince re-appointed Chi Yu to be in charge of the camp on the outskirts of the capital.
This incident caused quite a stir, led by Fan Rong, who strongly opposed it.
There was a quarrel in Xuanzheng Hall, and the Lei family, which used to be neutral, was unfortunately involved.
The reason why Wen Qingzhu, who lives in the Hou Mansion, knows so clearly is because Jin Yuanbao came to Xi'er to complain and his voice was too loud.
Wen Qingzhu could still hear it even if he closed the window.
Lu Tao was helping her sharpen ink, glancing at the door from time to time: "Why do you feel that Mr. Jin came to tell Madam on purpose?"
"Jin Yuanbao is also familiar with the officialdom. Although he is straight-tempered, he still follows the rules. If he dares to come like this, Master Lei must have asked him to come."
Wen Qingzhu finished writing the last stroke.
There were four big words written on the paper: stop with stillness.
Anyway, Pei Yu and the others' attitude was very obvious. If they didn't want her to interfere in government affairs, it would be better for her not to interfere.
As for the previous matter, she took the initiative. Jiang Yuanhan knew the pros and cons and would definitely carry it out.
Wen Qingzhu planned to completely ignore the process.
After five or six days of this, Pei Yu finally got someone who made a mistake and said that Jiang Yuanhan was just the prince and had no right to decide such a big matter.
Jin Yuanbao was so angry outside the door that his voice got louder and louder: "We at Yushitai don't dare to say that, so how dare Mr. Sun say that! It's really life-threatening! I wanted to impeach him on the spot, if not For the sake of the royal censor, there is no way I can let it go!"
With a clang, the door opened, and Wen Qingzhu appeared at the door.
Jin Yuanbao and Xi'er sat on the steps and both turned around.
Wen Qingzhu was a little helpless. At first, Jin Yuanbao was sitting in the corridor on the west side of the room, but these days he simply sat directly at her door.
"Madam." Jin Yuanbao stood up, his attitude instantly gentle.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and went in: "Come in and talk."
Jin Yuanbao laughed and quickly stepped in.
Xi'er followed him and complained: "I told you to tell the lady directly, why are you so roundabout!"
When they got to the room and sat down, Xi'er wanted to pour tea. Jin Yuanbao took it and poured it for himself.
Unexpectedly, Xi'er grabbed it and said, "I poured it for the lady! What are you doing!"
Jin Yuanbao smiled honestly and only touched the back of his head but didn't feel anything was wrong.
After pouring the tea, Wen Qingzhu raised the cup, blew the tea gently, took a sip and then asked: "Tell me, what exactly did Master Lei want you to say?"
"It has something to do with the imperial mausoleum, but Prime Minister Pei and the others want to get a piece of the pie in Kangcheng." Jin Yuanbao had a look of disdain on his face.
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "It seems that the operation in Kangcheng is getting better and better?"
"Well, Mr. Liang Hui has gone to Kangcheng to give personal guidance. The results are very good. Big merchants from Jiangnan and coastal areas have come over to open branches one after another."
"It seems that Master Liang is indeed a talented person as the eldest princess said." Wen Qingzhu sighed with emotion.
Last time she just talked it over with Jiang Wuyang, but within a day she turned around and went to the palace to meet Jiang Yuanhan.
Then Liang Hui also went to meet Jiang Yuanhan and put forward many plans based on Wen Qingzhu's ideas.
Unlike ordinary Beijing officials, Liang Hui's mobility was extremely fast.
Where Jiang Yuanhan agreed and allowed him to develop freely, Liang Hui made a plan the next day and implemented it that day.
By the time the Beijing officials came to their senses, all matters in Kangcheng had been taken over by the Ministry of Works.
Since the end of March, the number of people in Cannes has increased instead of decreasing.
Under Ningping's strict management, no major problems occurred.
By April, the tax revenue on the books of Kangcheng had exceeded that of Luocheng.
And this is just the beginning.
"Of course Mr. Liang is powerful. If he hadn't married the eldest princess, I think he might even be able to join the cabinet!" Jin Yuanbao is a very pragmatic person, and his likes and dislikes are made clear.
After several years of observation, Wen Qingzhu also discovered that Jin Yuanbao had good eyesight.
He praised Liang Hui so much, was he really special
"Then I'll go meet him." Wen Qingzhu became a little curious, and even began to think about the circumstances why Liang Hui married Jiang Wuyang back then.
Who knew that Jin Yuanbao stood up and said, "Liang Hui won't be returning to Beijing for a short time. You'd better go see Mr. Lei first. He has something to ask you."
Wen Qingzhu did not agree directly, but looked into his eyes and asked, "The Yushitai doesn't care about these things, right?"
Jin Yuanbao solemnly said: "Pei Yi entered the Yushitai."
In the afternoon of that day, Wen Qingzhu tidied up and arrived at the door of Lei Xiao's house while Lei Xiao was away from the office.
Lei Xiao seemed to have guessed that Wen Qingzhu would come, and he came back on time today.
After getting off the car, he followed Lei Xiao to his study.
He ordered his servants to serve refreshments and then let everyone go down.
The two of them were sitting on the couch by the window. Lei Xiao asked directly: "Have you told you everything Yuan Bao should tell you?"
"Yes." Wen Qingzhu couldn't wait, "I know everything else, why did Pei Yi come to Yushitai?"
Lei Xiao's eyebrows knitted together: "Li Wu passed away, and he recommended Pei Yi. In addition, there was a small problem in the Yushitai. Pei Yi found out and made an excellent suggestion. Prime Minister Pei will be the guarantee. I He had to be let in.”
"Wait! Pei Yi was recommended by Mr. Li?" Wen Qingzhu clearly remembered, wasn't it Li Ran who was helped by Pei Yu
Could it be—
"You are right. Li Ran was able to leave the Li Mansion and persuade Li Wu not only because of Prime Minister Pei's intervention, but also because of Pei Yi's advice behind the scenes."
Lei Xiao's tone was slightly solemn, and his eyes were looking at the teacup in front of him in a daze.
Wen Qingzhu also fell into brief thought.
In the past, Pei Yu and Pei Yi could not deal with each other, and they were almost in a life-or-death situation.
But at this juncture, they suddenly reconciled.
If Wen Qingzhu didn't live two lives, he might think that they would really reconcile.
But Wen Qingzhu had experience in his previous life and knew Pei Yu's character very well.
Temporary regression is okay, but permanent regression is absolutely impossible.
Wen Qingzhu suddenly remembered Zhang Yao's matter. If Pei Yi really interfered, then Zhang Yao would not be safe living in the Pei family, but Pei Yu would be completely in control.
In this way, it would be difficult for Fu Shiyi to have two minds.
But how come Pei Yu knows Luo Chan's actions so well
Even if Pei Yi intervenes, how on earth do they know so much about the affairs in the palace
"Qingzhu, before Fu Lie left, he asked me to try not to involve you in the struggle in the capital. But now that Pei Yu has won over most of the courtiers, we at the Yushitai are also forced to take a stand."
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, looked at Lei Xiao and asked, "Then what do you want me to do?"
Lei Xiao took out a rectangular box from the ladder cabinet next to him.
After placing it on the table, when it was opened, there was a bright yellow scroll inside.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the box and then at Lei Xiao: "What do you want to do?"
Lei Xiao did not answer her directly, but took out the imperial edict and spread it out. It turned out to be a blank imperial edict. In addition to the seal of the jade seal, there was also the personal seal of Emperor Shunde.
Judging from the dark color of these two seals, they look old.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at Lei Xiao: "What did the emperor say?"
"Your Majesty told me that if Pei Yu becomes too ambitious, you can use this blank edict to remove him from the position of prime minister. I discussed it with the prince and the eldest princess, and finally decided to use this edict on you. On the body."
Lei Xiao's tone seemed as if he had made a huge decision.
"Use it on me? Haven't I stopped interfering in government affairs?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little uneasy when he thought of Jiang Yuanhan.
Judging from the last Zhaoxingzhaoer, Jiang Yuanhan was very decisive and killed with one move.
What do they want to do this time
Lei Xiao looked into her eyes and said word by word: "We have decided to make you the eldest princess and listen to the government behind the curtain!"
"You—" Wen Qingzhu was prepared, but he still found it unbelievable.
It took her a long time before she said: "I have nothing to do with the Jiang family. What reason do you use to canonize me as the eldest princess? Also, I just said a few words in the Xuanzheng Hall before. Mr. Lei should know Pei Yu's reaction. .”
"I know, but you saved the prince's life. Doctor Gan can testify to this, and Lu Lei can also testify."
Lei Xiao seemed to feel much more relaxed and tried his best to persuade her.
Wen Qingzhu looked at his expression and knew that Lei Xiao was serious, but she still found it incredible: "Master Lei, not to mention that Concubine Wei is still alive, there is also Princess Dejia! Master Wei doesn't know about this, right? The Wei family is now Your attitude is also very important, let alone Pei Yu and the others."
"Madam." Lei Xiao said solemnly, "We have considered this matter. The palace has been deployed. There have been two incidents of palace maids climbing into bed in the past few days. If Lord Sinless were not here, I am afraid that The deal is done, and Wan Hongyu of the Hanlin Academy made a mistake a few days ago and handed over all the affairs he handled. The prince is isolated and helpless in the palace. Only you can deal with all this head-on."
Wen Qingzhu also calmed down and retorted one by one: "They put them in, you can also put people in. The Hanlin Academy is responsible for the emperor, and in the future it will be liberal. Don't underestimate Fu Yu. Although I don't like him very much, he even has Fu Yu." Everyone in the family can resist, let alone outsiders.”
At the end of the sentence, Wen Qingzhu laughed: "The prince is isolated and helpless, isn't Mr. Lei the best minister of the prince? Besides, the Wei family is also dedicated to assisting the prince. In the short term, Yushitai may be involved in disputes, but in the future Yushitai You can still return to your duties as a censor."
