Chapter 197: Lobbying

Although Mrs. Chen had been in the capital for less than a month, she had done a lot of work before she settled down, and she bought more than 20 new people, lest she be teased by the nobles of the family who came and went in the Protector's Mansion, and she was busy making fashionable clothes for the upper and lower levels.

In addition, the Gu family is also an official family, although it has declined in recent years, there are still some old ones. Gu Er was born as a scholar, and there were many people in the same family and subject in the past, and many old acquaintances are now working as officials in the capital. Taking advantage of the current temporary residence in the Huguo Mansion, Mrs. Chen also went out to socialize.

Gu Lianhan hurriedly came to ask Zhou Qin to visit Huiyuan with him, because Mrs. Chen re-established a relationship with Zhang, the wife of Zhongwei Changyang of Zuo Shilang in Shangshu Province. The Wei family has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son has already started a family, and the second son is eighteen this year, which is the time to say goodbye.

The two families went back and forth several times, and Zhang said that the spring flowers were just right now, and invited Mrs. Chen to take her daughter to Huiyuan to enjoy the flowers. I heard that the Gu family is currently temporarily living in the Huguo Mansion, and they specially sent a post to Mrs. Zhao and Zhou Qin.

Gu Lianhan just told Zhou Qin about this, and the post of the back foot guard family arrived. If it was the past, Zhou Qin would definitely not agree to this kind of unfamiliar invitation, but he couldn't stand the cowardly Gu Lianhan's hard pleading.

Gu Lianhan is already seventeen years old, and she vaguely feels that she knows what she is entering Beijing for this time. After all, she was a newcomer, and her temperament was soft, so she guessed that she was going to see each other, so she was a little weaker in her heart, and she just begged Zhou Qin to be a companion and strengthen her courage.

Zhou Qin was so entangled by her that he had to ask, "Have you asked your aunt?" ā€

Gu Lianhan nodded hurriedly and said, "My mother asked me to come over!" ā€

Zhou Qin was helpless, so he took the post and asked Mrs. Zhao.

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she thought about it, so she said: "In the end, it is a guest, and it is the first time to go out, you can accompany Cousin Gu, I won't go." He told Zhou Qin not to run around, pay attention to safety, and chattered for a long time.

Zhou Qin smiled: "I'll go in a few days, don't worry." ā€

Mrs. Zhao gave up at this time, and said to Zhou Qin: "I heard that Cheng Engong suddenly startled the horse two days ago, you help Yanzhi prepare some gifts, and I will let him send it over another day." ā€

Zhou Qin responded, but couldn't help but feel a little strange, "It's so decent, how can you surprise the horse?" ā€

"I heard that it was an incident in the middle of the city, but fortunately, there were many guards around him, and the horse was restrained, and in the end he only broke his arm, and there were some bruises, so it was no big deal." Old Madam Zhao said, "You should be careful when you go out, and bring a few more waiters." ā€

Zhou Qin nodded.

In the past, there was no friendship between the Protector Mansion and the Chengen Mansion, and when you encounter this, you can just give a gift. But now after the war in Guangnan, Tian Chu is still working with Zhou Yan, so it is reasonable for Zhou Yanzhi to visit him in person.

Two days later, Zhou Yanzhi came back from the Cheng'en Mansion, and the family finished dinner and talked about Tian Bing's injury.

"It's not very serious, I heard that when I just walked to Junyi Bridge Street, someone was fighting and causing trouble, Cheng Engong didn't pay attention for a while, so he startled the horse." Zhou Yanzhi said, "I also met the palace attendant to give medicine today." ā€

Old Madam Zhao said with a smile: "The saint is just this younger brother, if it is not inconvenient, I am afraid that I will have to run out to take a look." ā€

Empress Dowager Tian is indeed inconvenient. Although she is worried about her brother's health, she really doesn't have much energy to care about it recently.

In the Ciming Palace, the Empress Dowager Tian was holding the battle report sent back from the front line in her hand, and there was an urgent letter from the Yin of Kyoto Prefecture on the table, but she was thinking about irrelevant things in her heart.

A talented man died in the palace.

If you can burn down a Minghua Palace silently today, you know if the Ciming Palace will go to the water without warning tomorrow. If she doesn't find out the mastermind behind it, she won't be able to sleep well.

The inner servants checked and checked, except for finding that the Minghua Hall was deliberately carried out, and there was no progress. All the people who were on errand in the Minghua Hall that day either had an alibi or were dead. However, there was a rumor in the palace, saying that someone had seen the palace maid of Shangrong Hall go to Minghua Hall that night.

Shangrong Hall is Yang Miaofang's residence.

Empress Dowager Tian never believed that Yang Miaofang, the daughter of Hanlin, could have a way to do such a thing after only a few months in the palace.

The more things are handled so cleanly, the more it shows how well the other party knows about the palace.

This kind of selfish behavior made her can't help but suspect someone.

Empress Dowager Tian called Wang Wenyi over and ordered, "Let people go and see what An Ning has been doing recently." ā€

After explaining the matter, she picked up the Jiaozhi battle report sent back by the Protector of the Kingdom.

Zhou Yan led an army of 80,000 to recover all the states and counties all the way, and then went straight to the Fuliang River.

More than 400 warships of the Jiaozhi column blocked the river, and the two armies were facing each other.

The battle has been fought so far, with Zhou Yan leading the troops, and victory is only a matter of time.

The trouble is how to arrange Zhou Yan's reward when he returns to the court.

Beidi definitely can't let him go back, let alone let him stay in Quang Nam. After this time, Empress Dowager Tian can be regarded as understanding, Zhou Yan, a general like Zhou Yan, is superbly used with soldiers, and there is no stain on his body, if he is allowed to stay in one place for many years to operate, and live for more than ten or twenty years, he will be a soil emperor.

Whether to transfer him back to the capital to fight with Chu Zhen in the ring, or let him go to the west to keep an eye on the restless feudal people, Empress Dowager Tian has not yet thought about it.

Putting the battle report aside, she picked up the fold handed by Kyoto Prefecture Yin again.

Since the Shangyuan Festival, Kyoto Prefecture has caught more than 3,000 brawls, and there are countless thefts.

Because the matter is confidential, Kyoto Prefecture Yin Te folded and asked for a drop.

After reading this excerpt, Empress Dowager Tian was slightly surprised.

It is no wonder that in recent days, the court has begun to advocate the suspension of the war in Jiaozhi and the wind of the two countries ceasing to seek peace.

The Thang Long Mansion was in danger, and Jiaozhi actually became smart this time and came to lobby the courtiers of the Great Wei.

These courtiers, seeing real money and treasures, left behind the tens of thousands of people who were slaughtered in Yongzhou, and the hundreds of thousands of people who died in Guangnan were just a number to them.

Empress Dowager Tian immediately gritted her teeth with hatred.

As a person from the Great Wei Dynasty, he took the money from the court and the central government, and he had to eat inside and outside, these people are really hateful.

Thinking of Chu Zhen, who was faintly standing in the armistice and seeking peace, the idea of transferring Zhou Yan back to the capital was a little heavier in her heart.

Carefully calculated, at most until May, the battle of Jiaozhi should also come to an end, and Zhou Yan will be transferred back to Beijing at that time, and another person will be sent to take over.

There are also field reserves.

I didn't think that after going for a long time this time, Empress Dowager Tian realized that some things were still easy for her nephew to call. If Tian Chu was in the capital at this time, many tricky things could be entrusted to him.
