Chapter 198: The Great Gift

The rain was falling again, and I was walking around the room feeling a little depressed. In the past few years, with the careful care of Lan Ling, leg diseases have rarely recurred, even on rainy days, except for a little dull pain, there is no other discomfort. However, I still don't like rainy days.

As early as a month ago, Qin Siyi handed over the excerpt, asking for the change from four to six, with sincere words and a sense of reason. At the same time, a large number of newcomers were also promoted, and two people were selected from the previous four ministries as the Shangshu of the newly established two departments. The emperor praised it and almost unanimously agreed. It was only when the early dynasty was announced, that Jiang Yunxiu, the ninth prince, proposed to replace the newly established Ministry of Industry Shangshu with the original Hubu Langzhong Wang Amber. Because Wang Amber had a number of successful experiences in the construction of large projects when he was in the household department before, the emperor allowed to play.

Qin Siyi understands that this Wang Amber was only a five-grade scholar in the household department before, but this time he has become a third-grade Shangshu, in fact, many people are not convinced. And Jiang Yunxiu's promotion of him this time shows that he is Jiang Yunxiu's person, so he can be regarded as an opponent on the surface. Besides, several servants in the new Ministry of Industry are all our people, so our advantage in the Ministry of Industry is still slightly greater than Jiang Yunxiu's, so we didn't do much entanglement. The emperor handed over the criminal department of the two new ministries to Qin Siyi on the spot, and the Ministry of Works was managed by the right minister.

And this great victory in the court has made Qin Siyi's status in the court a major change, two of the six departments have been completely controlled by him, and the other four departments dare not underestimate him anymore, at least he should be in charge, and they still respect his orders on the surface.

I asked Qin Siyi not to show closeness to any prince at this time, even worse. He also often came to the court with the four and nine princes. I understand that the emperor's almost complete acceptance this time shows that Qin Siyi's performance in the court made the emperor very satisfied. Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the military attachΓ©s were mostly towards the Nine Princes. Most of the civil officials are towards the four princes, but there are too few who are really only towards the emperor except for things. Now that the emperor is less than forty years old, he has no idea of delegating power, so it is normal for him to cultivate a force independent of these two princes.

"Miss, Miss......" Lan Ling's voice interrupted my train of thought, I frowned slightly, and responded, "What's the matter?" ”

"Princess Jinnan asks to see." I was taken aback. I didn't expect Ding Muyun to come to me directly, why don't you go to Huixian Yaxu? It's just that I told her where I lived in order to gain her trust at the time. But if it is seen by someone who cares, I am afraid that the actions in the future will be affected.

Lan Ling seemed to understand my expression, and added, "Miss, don't worry, this Princess Jinnan came in through the side door after being modified." No one should be paying attention. ”

I breathed a sigh of relief. "I hope so." ”

I entered the front hall and saw Ding Muyun dressed as an ordinary woman. Ding Muyun sat there drinking tea, although she was dressed as an ordinary woman, she could not hide the luxurious style around her. I thought to myself, if I really want Ding Muyun to be quiet in the back half of her body, I am afraid that she will be quite uncomfortable.

I raised my eyebrows and said, "Why is the eldest sister here?" ”

Ding Muyun raised his head, his face was happy, and said, "Naturally, I came to say hello to my sister." ”

I was surprised, "What's the joy?" ”

Ding Muyun said with a straight face: "During this time, the auxiliary minister Qin Siyi is going to be in the court. If it rains, my sister still says it's not your masterpiece? ”

I feigned doubts. Laughing: "What does this have to do with me?" "I don't want to admit my relationship with Qin Siyi, at least not yet.

Ding Muyun also doubted: "Qin Siyi's mansion is next to my sister's Zhuangzi, doesn't my sister still say that he is not your person?" ”

I covered my mouth lightly and sneered before I said slowly: "Eldest sister said this, is it my person who lives closer to me?" At the beginning, I wanted to build my Zhuangzi next to Huixian Yaxu, but the owner of the Zhuangzi said that the Zhuangzi was an ancestral property and said that he would not sell anything, so I retreated and bought this Zhuangzi. Later, I learned that it was the ancestral home of Lord Qin. Although our two families are neighbors, we have never met. If the eldest sister had asked a little, she would have known that we had never visited each other. Besides, if it is really my person, then I should let him live far away from me, so as not to have unnecessary associations with good people. With that, he squinted at her again.

Ding Muyun was skeptical, but he didn't dwell on it too much, and said, "Really? I saw him move so much in the court, and I thought it was my sister's instructions. I said, if it's really my sister's person, why hasn't the prince made any moves now? ”

After saying that, his eyes were staring straight at me. I understand that she came this time to ask the teacher to ask about the sin. She must have guessed that Qin Siyi might be my person, but seeing that Qin Siyi's power is growing day by day, and I didn't make any moves except for the last time we met, I was afraid that we would leave them behind after gaining power, so I couldn't hold my breath, so I had this direct visit.

I also looked directly at her, and didn't let me say anything: "I don't understand what the eldest sister said." Since I chose my eldest brother-in-law, then I will support him to the end. It's just the current situation, the eldest brother-in-law is an idle prince at home, and he has not discussed politics for a long time. If you participate suddenly, it will make people suspicious, and the gains will outweigh the losses. When the time comes, I'll naturally arrange it. Besides, when I chose my eldest brother-in-law before, I didn't see how powerful he was, or how much effort I could save by supporting him, but just considering that he was the son-in-law of my Ding family. Now, as long as this condition does not change, there will naturally be no other changes. ”

I said it very implicitly, in fact, I was telling Ding Muyun in disguise, whether I choose to elect King Jinnan or not, I have the final say, and she has no possibility of negotiating conditions. And, until now, they haven't helped anything with how things are going, so, don't mess with me.

As smart as Ding Muyun, how could she not understand what I meant, she gritted her teeth, and her face turned into a smile in a blink of an eye.

"Sister, don't be angry, it's just that my sister said last time that the prince was emotional, his blood was boiling, and he wanted to do something big right away, so there was no movement for so long, and the prince was inevitably a little anxious. That's why I wanted to ask my sister what she was going to do. ”

I sneered, "Maybe you really want to do something 'big'!" But a smile also gathered on his face and said, "Eldest sister...... The husband is in a hurry, why is my sister not in a hurry, but the affairs of this court are changing rapidly, and a little caution will lead to a failure. Therefore, the time for my brother-in-law to enter this bureau is very important, and the eldest sister can rest assured, as long as the time is ripe, I will definitely let the eldest brother-in-law enter the court again. ”

Ding Muyun nodded slightly after hearing this, and suddenly smiled again: "However, my sister is by no means a person who sits back and enjoys her success, so this time my sister is also ready to give my sister a big gift." ”

I looked at her with a somewhat gloomy smile, and suddenly there was a faint uneasiness in my heart, I forced a little rapid breathing and forced a smile: "I don't know what the big gift the eldest sister said?" (To be continued......)
