It's another year of firecrackers to welcome the new year.

Wei Qian received many gifts from ministers. casually wrote a list and left it for Situ Yun, and Wei Qian'an accepted the things with peace of mind.

Inspecting the daily utensils sent by Jia Mei, Wei Qian smiled with satisfaction: "I can use these things with confidence because my mother sent me." ”

Wei Qianren's immortal body is not afraid of the plots of others, but Xiangling and others cannot. There are things that the palace people secretly sent over to add materials through the court, and Wei Qian directly ordered someone to throw it away.

Let Jia Mei bring things in from outside the palace, and the clothing and food are all purchased by the Wei Mansion.

At first, Ye Ting still had a lot of complaints, but the Queen Mother laughed at her on the grounds of "Wei Qian's love family" and helped her block it.

As for who will start, everyone knows in their hearts, but the current front dynasty is too chaotic and too lazy to care.

Now that the harem is maintaining peace on the surface, Empress Dowager Chen and Wei Qian have begun to let themselves go. Although he acted according to the rules, he was a little out of line, and others couldn't say anything. There is no emperor, no queen, no one can control them at all.

Only for them, of course. If those Baolin nobles make mistakes, the two of them will not be merciful.

To put it bluntly, we have a love for a few years together. Even if it was Yuan Chun, Concubine Wen and others, as long as they didn't make too much trouble, Empress Dowager Chen would turn a blind eye.

Then, opening the purple jade Ruyi sent by Jia Yu Village, Wei Qian muttered: "What news is there in Chang'an City now?" ”

Hearing this, Hongchun went out to inquire with Yang Kai.

Yang Kai has been very close to the Qingbian Palace since Jinling followed Wei Qian. Now he is walking in front of the palace and looking for a companion to report to Wei Qian.

"In the past two days, there has been a scandal in the Mei family. It is said that the son of the Mei family had an affair with a certain widow. ”

"The Mei family?" Wei Qian straightened her waist: "According to the pedantic style of the Mei family, his son dares to do this?" ”

The rotten Confucian of Mei University has long infiltrated the etiquette into his bones, and their family style will make his family go to the widow?

The person who knows you best will always be your enemy.

Wei Qian immediately said: "Impossible! ”

"It's true." Hongchun said: "Yang Kai said it at a glance, and it spread very quickly outside. It is said that they were made fun of when they went to court in the past two days. ”

Wei Qian stretched out her hand to touch Ruyi, and frowned: "Ruyi is as I wish, is this Jia Yucun helping me take revenge?" ”

"Speaking of which, Lord Jia is really destined for you, he came out of Jinling and has been helping Niangniang, which can be called a descendant."

Hearing this, Wei Qian fell into deep thought.

Regarding Jia Yucun's character, Wei Qian didn't dare to report any confidence. Jia Yucun is like most officials of this era. was born in the imperial examination, and then he was full of enthusiasm and ambition, and then he was hit by the dark officialdom, and finally degenerated into the same stream and became an old oilman in the officialdom.

Officialdom has the rules of the game of officialdom, and some people see that officialdom is dark, abandon the officialdom, live in seclusion, and watch coldly on the mountain. Some people choose to go along with the same stream and devote themselves to officialdom to blacken themselves. There are also people who choose to fight against the darkness, burning their own candles to illuminate the darkness, and eventually being engulfed in darkness and turned into ashes.

The original trajectory of his life, Jia Yucun was conceited because of his scholarly spirit, and finally entangled with his boss and left. Until after the resurrection, he handled the case of Xue Pan as an official in Jinling and slowly degenerated.

Discouragement or assimilation by officialdom is the choice of most people, and few people really choose to fight.

But now, there is no so-called Xue Pan case, Jia Yucun is still assimilated by officialdom, but he chooses to stand in Wei Qian's camp. Although he was a little selfish, Wei Qian put up with him if he wanted to use someone.

Over the years, he has done things tactfully and helped Jia Lian a lot. Wei Qian's promotion of new agriculture is also inseparable from him. It's just that in private, Jia Yucun still accepts bribes like other officials, and there are some problems with behaving as a person.

For him, Wei Qian has always maintained a love-hate relationship. If you want to talk about ability, Jia Yucun has it. But in terms of heart, Wei Qian really couldn't believe it, for fear that he would bite back. So in recent years, Wei Qian has also been cultivating her own people.

This year, Enke is Wei Qian's opportunity to send her people to the palace, aiming at the positions of the living room and the living room, wanting to control Situ Yun's situation in the previous dynasty.

The few people she supported joined a special organization, the Plum Blossom Club. That organization was founded by Jia Mei, and she was looking for suitable people to fund it. In the future, we will help each other and grow together. It can be said that it is a small interest group.

Some people are officials, some people are in business, and everyone gathers several times a year to exchange information and take care of each other.

At present, the best situation for officials is only to be an official in the local area, which opens the door for the convenience of the Weifu business. As for places like the Hanlin Academy, there is no way to place people.

"The requirements of the Hanlin Academy are too high, and I can't take too much of it when I take care of it. The temple test can only be relied on by themselves. Wei Qian thought of the two students who would take the exam this year. All she can do is arrange their daily life in advance and provide them with a good environment.

As for stealing exam questions or something, Wei Qian didn't dare to think about it at all. Situ Yun was too cautious, even she couldn't do it.

"Niangniang, you said that Lord Jia did this, do we want to respond?"

"It should." Wei Qian thought for a while: "Summoning the wife tomorrow, you will leave his wife behind, and I will find her to have something to say." ”

An official like Jia Yucun can either beat him to death with a slap, then he can only be co-opted and appeased. Now Wei Qian still needs him to help his family, so he needs to win over their family.

"It's nothing more than inducing people to gain and moving people with power." Wei Qian was in charge of the kingdom in Southern Qin, and gradually became familiar with this way of power scheme.

For the emperor, it is good that the eyes can't rub the sand, but it is really better to choose a few people who are tainted but capable of doing a lot to leave an incorruptible and useless official.

However, fortunately, at present, Nanqin is in the stage of active development. At this stage, in any dynasty, it is generally honest and open-minded, because of the determination to forge ahead and unite as one, the environment at the beginning of the dynasty is the least.

It was only as time progressed, and the dynasty slowly decayed from its roots, eventually collapsing and being ruined by a new dynasty.

Wei Qian thought about it a lot, and finally smiled: "What's the use of thinking about this, if I have the right in my hands, Jia Wei's second mansion is strong, and Jia Yucun can't help it." ”

This is the heart of the emperor, as long as the power is in hand, a few turbid fish are mixed in the clear water, as long as it is under control, it doesn't matter.

The desire to control is the essence of the emperor's mental technique.

Wei Qian and Situ Yun are both people with a strong desire to control, otherwise they would not be so like-minded. But fortunately, a man and a woman, as the old saying goes: "A mountain has two tigers, unless there is a male and a female".

On the second day, Wei Qian and Yuan Chun accompanied Empress Dowager Chen to invite her to the palace for the New Year.

After the banquet, Wei Qian deliberately left Jia Yucun's wife Jiaoxing. Speaking of which, this steproom still has some relationship with Xiangling.

When Xiangling was not bought and sold, Jiao Xing was her maid.

Now that the two of them met, Jiao Xing recognized Xiangling at a glance, and her expression was very excited, and she unconsciously remembered what her master said.

"You stay and catch up with her, and give her those things that the palace has prepared." Wei Qian took the folding fan and gently touched Xiangling's head, smiled and asked her maid to meet.

Xiangling has the position of a female official, and she is not inferior to Jiao Xing, the four-grade lady.

Wei Qian took Xue Baochai out of Changle Palace.

Walking in the wind and snow, Wei Qian said to Xue Baochai beside her: "Speaking of which, this spring is the time for you to leave the palace, what have you thought about what to do?" ”

Out of the palace to get married? Or stay in the palace?

Xue Baochai gritted his teeth lightly, hesitating.

In the past three years in the palace, what is the current situation in Jiafu, she really has no bottom in her heart.

And Wei Qian asked the Queen Mother to give her marriage, and she went to stir up the situation? Her self-esteem couldn't do that.

I have to admit the importance of rights. Originally, the sisters were a little scheming in Jiafu, but they were useless in front of Wei Qian, and a holy decree immediately broke a qiē clearly, even if Mrs. Wang was unhappy, she didn't dare to resist the decree.

"I haven't thought about the concubine yet."

"Then you go home first another day, this palace will give you a privilege to choose for yourself." Wei Qian stroked the cold plum in the snow, and her expression was calm.

"Thank you, mother."

"Don't thank me, we both grew up in Jinling, and we met a few times when we were young." Wei Qian said, looking at the other corner. Jia Yuanchun took the princess and the prince to enjoy the snow in the imperial garden.

"It's windy, let's go back first." Wei Qian's afterglow caught a glimpse of the yellow-clothed figure on the other side who was leaving quickly, and a series of small footprints left the Imperial Garden.

That direction is...... East Palace?
