Chapter 5 Martial Arts Conference 2

Let's finish talking concisely about the old man Zhang Cheng of the Yan Guo Zhang family, and the next thing we want to talk about is the current head of the Zhang family, Mrs. Yurong's father-in-law, Zhang Cheng's son - the current head of the Yan State Household Department - Zhang Qijue.

Its daily work includes reclaiming land for immigrants, recruiting and relocating displaced people, and restraining the annexation of the wealthy people on the basis of the fish scale atlas and the yellow book; restricting land to cut down heretical people; using arboriculture to teach agricultural officials; raising horses and grazing horses on grassland; summoning tenants to make the most of their geographical advantages by means of electric seeds; exempting them from paying compensation for arrears accumulated over many years according to the situation; adjusting surplus and shortages according to the income and expenditure of various provinces; reducing and exempting errand labor; providing pension relief to the poor and elderly in disaster areas, and rewarding meritorious people; assessing prices in the market and assessing prices; levying the collection of mountains and slopes, ponds, and closing markets; Taxes for pit and metallurgy; supporting the army's losses, supervising the transportation of the troops, supporting and transferring the tun seeds, opening the middle of the country to the real side, and paying the taxes of hundreds of officials; regularly compiling household registers, adjusting households, etc., to understand the changes in population and land; and promptly stopping and correcting illegal acts such as concealing household registration and embezzling land.

In short, the head of the household department is mainly in charge of the national economy, including household registration, taxation, agriculture, commerce, and the overall planning of state funds. It's a position with real power in the real power.

And whether it is in the history of Yanhuang's origins, or in this otherworldly Tiancheng Continent, in every dynasty and every generation, almost all the officials who have been the secretary of the household department are fishing for oil and water to get a fat brain! What's more, fishing for oil and water to the point where it can be called a rich country!

Why is there such a phenomenon of greed for ink that has been repeatedly prohibited? It is only because the position of this household secretary is really too powerful, too much oil and water, and people who do not have the slightest perseverance cannot stand such temptation.

So, in the face of great temptation, these people embarked on the wrong path of greedy ink one after another.

Of course, as the so-called Skynet is restored and not leaked, whether in history or in modern society, the vast majority of officials who are greedy for ink have not escaped the punishment of the law in the end, and have paid the corresponding tragic price for their greed!

Let's get back to that.

Zhang Qijue is a person, although he is in charge of the treasury of Yan State, in charge of the economy of Yan State, and holds real power, but because he is a little taciturn, and he lives without any special outstanding, even those people who have been born and raised in Donglin, Kyoto, Yan Country since childhood, there are many people who do not know their parents in Beijing.

But Zhang Qijue is the founder of Yan State, and even in the entire Tiancheng Continent, so far, he has sat the most securely and most trusted by Yan Guo, the emperor of Yan Chang, the emperor of Yan Kingdom!

The reason why Zhang Qijue was able to sit firmly in this position of Hubu Shangshu, which is very easy to make people greedy and go astray, has nothing to do with the fact that his father Zhang Chengnai is the teacher of Yanchang, Emperor Yanchang, the son of Yan Guo. All this is just because Zhang Qijue is very self-denying and law-abiding, and he is so responsible that he doesn't even want the opportunity to use his power to make oil and water to enrich his own purse!

Therefore, Zhang Qijue, who is also the secretary of the household department, did not become a member of this huge team of greedy ink because he firmly held the heart of serving the country and the people when faced with the huge temptation brought by the post of household secretary.

And this Yan Guo's first-class wife, Mrs. Yuling, is the youngest daughter of this Zhang Cheng, Zhang Qijue's younger sister, and Mrs. Yurong's sister-in-law. Moreover, Mrs. Yuling's husband's family is the current official of Yan State, who also holds real power and has the right to appoint and dismiss officials......

In this way, it means that even the uncle of this Zhang family is also one of the powerful ministers of the Yan Kingdom!

Although the Zhang family is very low-key, they never do anything to play with power and oppress the people. Although even many people who have been born and raised in Donglin, Kyoto, the Yan Kingdom since childhood, do not know the people of the Zhang family. But it is undeniable that the Zhang family holds real power in the court of Yan State, and the power is monstrous!

Putting aside the husband family with such a powerful position, just talking about the maiden family of Mrs. Yurong, it is the longest-standing, noblest, most authoritative and most powerful Nanming Mansion among all the royal families in Yan since the founding of Yan Kingdom!

To sum up, it is conceivable how complicated the living environment of this Mrs. Yurong is. Therefore, Yan Ziming, who was also born in such a complex environment, knows too well that this Mrs. Yurong is by no means as simple and humble as she appears on the surface.

Moreover, although Yan Ziming is extremely shrewd, Yan Ziming is very bad at dealing with women. And, in the face of outsiders, Yan Ziming has to rein in all his shrewdness and turn on his mode of pretending to be stupid...... The most important thing is that Yan Ziming couldn't figure out what this envoy of Yan Kingdom suddenly came to visit him the day before his wedding to Princess Haoyue of Yan Kingdom?!

So, when Yan Ziming was changing clothes in the apse of the Qingxin Palace, after thinking about it again, Yan Ziming decided that he would take Leng Qing, a living think tank, to the Weide Hall with him, and meet with him the two envoys of the Yan Kingdom. At that time, he Yan Ziming will deal with Ouyang Ye, the mighty general of the Yan Kingdom, Leng Qing...... Let's go and deal with Mrs. Yurong of the Yan Kingdom!

To sum up, as a result, there is now a scene where Yan Ziming and Leng Qing appear in this Weide Hall together......

At this time, Yan Ziming took Leng Qing into the Weide Palace, and after Leng Qing closed the hollow and carved palace door behind them, Yan Ziming walked straight towards Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye, who had been waiting in the Weide Hall for nearly an hour.

When passing by a large pillar carved with a vivid four-clawed dragon in the Weide Palace, with the help of the block, Yan Ziming quickly looked back, lowered his voice to Leng Qing who was following him, and smiled: "Remember what I told you before, I am now a 'fool', and it will be up to you Xin'er when necessary!" With that, Yan Ziming turned his head and walked out of the cover of the big pillar.

Leng Qing was reluctant to come to this Weide Hall to get involved in the affairs of Yan Ziming and his future wife and family, but Yan Ziming had too many excuses and was too abrasive, and Leng Qing was really grinded by Yan Ziming, who had reached the realm of perfection in his work, so he had to agree that Yan Ziming would come with him.

It's just that Leng Qing didn't expect that after she agreed, Yan Ziming actually kicked her nose and disliked her makeup and clothes, and then Yan Ziming "logically" semi-forcibly re-embellished her, which made Leng Qing extremely depressed in her heart. Even at this moment, Leng Qing's heart is still full of energy!

Yes, Leng Qing, who still had residual anger in her heart, didn't bother to answer Yan Ziming's such improper words and deeds, and only avoided the angle of the other three people in the hall, and replied with a big white eye from the back of Yan Ziming, who was walking in front of her.

In that room, Mu Wen, who was standing at the shelter from the entrance of the Weide Palace, saw that Yan Ziming and Leng Qing were about to walk to the center of the Weide Palace, but the two envoys of the Yan Kingdom were still standing firmly and did not move, Mu Wen's mind changed, and then he saw Mu Wen immediately kneeling on one knee, bowing his head, clenching his fists, and calling (reminding) loudly in a respectful tone: "My subordinates meet His Royal Highness the Prince!

Although in private, Mu Wen shouted Yan Ziming one by one, but when outsiders were present, Mu Wen was still meticulous about the title and etiquette that Yan Ziming could shout.

On the other hand, Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye, who were standing still, heard this, and immediately reacted, the man who could be called the golden boy and jade girl turned out to be the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom that they were going to visit on this trip-Yan Xu!

Seeing that this Prince of the Red Ice Kingdom had finally appeared, Lady Yurong and Ouyang Ye immediately gathered all their thoughts and saluted towards Yan Ziming, who was walking towards them.

Because Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye came on this trip as the envoys of Yan State, therefore, Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye did not need to kneel to Yan Ziming, who only had the position of prince, so Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye only bowed their heads slightly, and said respectfully to Yan Ziming Fushen, who was about to walk in front of them, and said respectfully: "Yan Guo sent his envoys, Mrs. Yurong (the second rank of the great general Ouyang Ye) to meet His Royal Highness Prince Xu!"

As soon as Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye finished speaking, Yan Ziming happened to stop two steps in front of Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye. Leng Qing naturally stopped behind Yan Ziming.

Regarding the salute between Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye, Yan Ziming only smiled meekly and stupidly, and said in a loud voice: "No courtesy, no courtesy!"

When Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye heard this, they didn't procrastinate, and immediately stood up straight.

After Mrs. Yurong and Ouyang Ye stood up, they only heard Yan Ziming's voice change, and they smiled so stupidly: "Are you the envoys of the Yan Kingdom that Muwen said they want to see me?"

When Mrs. Yurong heard this, she habitually pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "His Royal Highness Prince Xu, the two of us are here for the sake of His Royal Highness Prince Xu, the pianist you recruited into the palace some time ago, Red Peony!"

Leng Qing, who was standing behind Yan Ziming, looking down at her own reflection on the swarthy floor tiles under her feet, was immediately stunned: Yan Ziming recruited the pianist Red Peony in the palace some time ago?

Without waiting for Leng Qing to raise her eyes to look at the person who was asking, Leng Qing saw Yan Zi, who was standing in front of her, deliberately holding her left hand behind her back in order to better cooperate, and she made a slightly calmer gesture.

Leng Qing, who was about to raise her eyes, saw this, so she had to be silent.

Immediately, Leng Qing heard Yan Ziming, who was standing in front of her, ask, "Piano Master Red Peony??, do you have anything to do with my luthier?"

Because standing behind Yan Ziming, Yi Leng Qing couldn't see it, and Yan Ziming had a stupid expression on his face at this moment. Coupled with such a simple and straightforward question, Yan Ziming really interpreted "a fool with low intelligence" to the fullest.

It's just that no one knows that at this moment, Yan Ziming's heart has already become a little defensive against Mrs. Yurong who asked questions!

On the way to this Weide Palace, Yan Ziming expected many reasons why the envoys of the Yan Kingdom came to ask to see him, as well as the countermeasures for various reasons, but Yan Ziming never expected that the envoys of the Yan Kingdom came to the door today, and they actually came to find Leng Qing...... What did they hear from those who had a heart?

As if to confirm the precautions in Yan Ziming's heart, he saw that Mrs. Yurong in the room heard this, and said softly in such a tone: "His Royal Highness Prince Xu, I heard the palace people in your palace last night say that His Royal Highness Prince Xu, you recruited a female luthier with excellent piano skills into the palace some time ago.

His Royal Highness Prince Xu likes silk and bamboo Yale, which is understandable. Moreover, Sizhu Yale also implies the way of governing the country, which should be advocated. It's just that...... I also heard that the female luthier named Red Peony, who was born in the land of flower buildings, is the top brand of a flower house in Kyoto, Daliang Kingdom......

Regardless of the origin of the violinist Red Peony, the status of this violinist alone is extremely low. However, Your Royal Highness Prince Xu, you disregarded etiquette and let the red peony, who was a lowly violinist, live in the pure heart hall of this Weide Palace with you, as the prince of the Red Ice Kingdom......! I'm afraid it doesn't conform to the etiquette and rules of your country!"

Whether it was Mrs. Yurong or Ouyang Ye, when they set off from Yan Country, and even when they arrived at the capital of this Red Ice Country and stepped into the palace of this Red Ice Country, they all planned to wait for Yan Qingqiu to marry Prince Xu of this Red Ice Country in peace and honesty during their stay in the Red Ice Country, and then return to Yan Country when they could stay for almost the same time.

It's just that Yan Guo sent more than 500 relatives on this trip, including Yan Qingqiu himself, no one expected that on the night they arrived at the palace of the Red Ice Country, they overheard the palace people who were waiting for them chatting and said that not long ago, the prince of the Red Ice Country actually recruited a woman from Hualou and a humble status into the palace of the Red Ice Kingdom to be a violinist!

Moreover, this prince also let the woman in the flower house called Red Peony live in the dormitory of this Red Ice Country, where only the previous princes can live - the Qingxin Hall of the Weide Palace!!

The dignified Prince of Chibing likes to listen to people stroke the qin, and recruits a woman from Hualou into the palace and gives him the position of a violinist.

But if this is ugly, it means that the dignified prince of the Chibing Kingdom did not do his job, and actually recruited a lowly Hualou woman into the palace and gave her the position of a violinist! Such an absurd move is really not in line with etiquette and rules!!

Not only that, the dignified prince of the Red Ice Kingdom actually lived in the same hall with a lowly Hualou woman, and ate at the same table!

Although the Qingxin Hall is large, there are as many as three dormitories for people to live in, but after all, it is easy for a pair of young men and women to live in the same hall. The birth of this young man and the future king of this Red Ice Country makes it even easier for people to reverie! )
