698: Where did you go?
Nalan Jinxiu is thinking about Ji Hongye in Northern Xinjiang, and Ji Hongye is also thinking about her in Jinling. If it weren't for the new emperor's accession to the throne and the fact that the cabinet had a lot of official affairs, he would really have to go to northern Xinjiang to pick her up in person.
"When is Madame's giving birth?" asked Ji Hongye.
Long Yi and Ye Bing were by his side at this time, two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one has an answer. Ye Bing gestured to Long Yi, probably asking, when did Mrs. get pregnant?
Long Yi thought about it and gestured for a while. Ye Bing shook his head, feeling that he must not remember correctly. He tried to think about it and couldn't remember, but he remembered that it seemed to be on a hot day.
"Now that winter has begun, my wife's due date is not far off. Ye Bing could only reply like this.
Ji Hongye actually just casually asked, when Nalan Jinxiu was pregnant, and when she gave birth, all of which were in his heart.
As the delivery date drew nearer, the more worried he became. But now is an extraordinary period, Emperor Jiayu was not a person who liked to form gangs in the past, and now in addition to some old ministers in the court, only his faction is supporting.
King Xun was-for-tat in the court, and there was a great deal of Emperor Jiayu's incorrect name and disobedience. Xiangguo has always been a faction of King Xun, so naturally he acquiesced to this.
King Xun can be said to be deeply rooted in Jinling, and how many people have decided that he should be the lord of Daning. He gave Emperor Jiayu a problem, and it was simply easy.
If there is only one Xun King, it would be fine, after all, they have been fighting for so many years, and Ji Hongye can be regarded as knowing them. It's just that everyone is trying to play with power.
However, although a small number of the people Peng Jing had captured before, none of the information they provided was useful information. That operation was not exhaustive, and many people were still secretly observing.
Gentile spies have never stopped, and they have long been accustomed to it. It's just that this time there are too many spies and the countries involved are too extensive, so we have to guard against it.
There is also one thing that gives him the most headache, and that is King Hui. King Hui nominally came back to guard filial piety, but since he was in the tomb of Emperor Yonglong, he fell ill after seven days of sleepless watch.
His external illness is very serious, and his interpretation of filial piety can be said to be perfect. Now there are many old ministers in the court, saying that King Hui is virtuous and virtuous, and putting him in a remote area to be an idle prince is really a bit tyrannical.
Ji Hongye didn't know if King Hui would return to Beijing in the end, because it all depended on King Xun's attitude. King Xun and King Hui have been fighting for so many years, and this time they are unusually united, brothers, friends and brothers, which is really enviable.
"Third master, Master Sun is in front. Long Yi said in a low voice.
"Is he going to climb the car again?" Ji Hongye was helpless, he really couldn't understand why Sun Wenjie had a soft spot for climbing cars.
"Looks like yes. ”
Ji Hongye rubbed his temples, Sun Wenjie is now a household secretary, not the same nonsense as before. Since he stopped the car in the middle of the road, there must be something important.
"Let him come up. Ji Hongye commanded.
Sun Wenjie quickly got into the carriage, and as soon as he saw Ji Hongye, he said: "Peng Jing asked us to go over, saying that there was a major breakthrough, you said that the two of us are now, why do we have to go to the interrogation in person!"
"Looks like he's got important information. ”
"Even if there is important information, then he will tell you directly, why should he let me follow? He thinks that I have not played enough recently?"
Speaking of which, Sun Wenjie has been really busy recently, the new emperor ascended the throne, and many accounts have to be re-liquidated, after all, everyone wants to determine how much silver is in their money bags.
Of course, Sun Wenjie is a clean official, and since he succeeded the household department, the account book and reality have always been clear. But this does not mean that his predecessors are also innocent.
He's been dizzy lately from the rotten debts they had before. Every time he picked up those account books, he couldn't help but sigh that this world was really wonderful.
There are so many bad debts, so many favors, you owe me, I owe you, everyone owes everyone, and it is really unclear for a while.
"He called you over, and naturally he had a reason. Ji Hongye's expression was very calm, and he could see that he might be busy until late in the future.
Sun Wenjie glanced at him and said sourly, "I think you are quite partial." ”
Ji Hongye glanced up at him, and his tone was light: "Master Sun, how can you say this?"
"I think you treat Peng Jing better than me. "A person as big as Sun Wenjie didn't blush at all when he said such a thing.
Ji Hongye listened to his unnutritious words, and he didn't want to look at him more. He leaned back on the soft couch and slowly closed his eyes, wanting to rest for a while.
Sun Wenjie was restless, he looked at Ji Hongye with ill intentions, and said: "Look at the blue mark in your eyes, I see that you just didn't rest well last night." I remember that your wife is not in the mansion, and there are no other concubines in the mansion, where did you go last night?"
Ji Hongye wanted to retract his previous opinion, this Sun Wenjie was just on the surface, and he looked more stable than before. In fact, in his bones, he is still the same as before.
"Why aren't you going to drink flower wine?"
Ji Hongye still chose to ignore it.
"You never go looking for flowers and asking willows, the first time you go out, how do you feel?" Sun Wenjie approached him very kindly, sniffed beside him, and said, "The girl you ordered last night used green bamboo incense." ”
Ji Hongye was as motionless as a mountain, as if he was really asleep.
Sun Wenjie scratched his heart with a hundred claws, because the taste on Ji Hongye's body was indeed a little different from usual. It is impossible for a person to change his or her incense habits for many years.
"Tell me quickly, what does the girl who accompanied you last night look like, Yan is thin and fat, which one do you like?"
Sun Wenjie was naturally ignored again, but he was very resilient and unwilling to do this. So he said: "You love your wife so much, it seems that you like the young, and you are weak and supportive." ”
Ji Hongye was finally willing to pay attention to him, he slowly opened his eyes, and said lightly: "Where do you think my wife is weak?"
"How thin is your wife! That waist is only so thick!" Sun Wenjie didn't even think about it, he replied directly, and his hand was a thick shape.
Ji Hongye was originally leaning on the soft couch, he slowly sat up straight, and his voice was a little dangerous: "How do you know that my wife's waist is so thick?"
Sun Wenjie was still in the excitement of where Ji Hongye went last night, he flashed his eyes and whispered: "It's not that you don't know, I know women best, you don't need to measure it yourself, just use your eyes to know how this person's posture is." ”
"You're not afraid that I'll gouge out your eyes. Ji Hongye's voice was cold and clear, without any temperature.
Sun Wenjie was awakened by such a voice, he turned his cheeks mechanically, and said with a smile: "Ha, I'm just joking at random, don't take it seriously." ”
"Casual?" Ji Hongye's voice was still very dangerous, he approached Sun Wenjie and said slowly: "I think what you said is the Tao, but it doesn't seem like you said it randomly." ”
Sun Wenjie finally reacted afterwards, Ji San was jealous. I didn't expect him to look calm and breezy usually, but he was such a possessive person in his bones. He just glanced at his wife a few more times, and he didn't want to do anything to his wife, so that he would be jealous?
Ji Hongye saw that Sun Wenjie didn't speak, he only looked at him stunned, and said in a low voice: "Master Sun, my nursing department has been very idle recently, why don't you go and collect Huiyin as soon as possible!"
Huiyin is the first policy to benefit the people after Emperor Jiayu ascended the throne. The general rule is to let the officials of the court and the central government support the ordinary people who are living in difficulty.
In this system, responsibilities are divided according to rank. That is to say, the bigger the official work, the higher the income, and the more poor people need to be supported.
The silver taels that the officials took out as a result were called Huiyin. Huiyin is collected by the Ministry of Households, recorded in the register, and then distributed to the common people. After the money was distributed, the household department would send someone to teach the poor how to use the money, hoping that they would be able to get rid of poverty and live a good life.
It stands to reason that this is a good thing, and the cabinet announced the specific regulations after finalizing them, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty also agreed with it. However, when it came to implementation, it was difficult.
It is the responsibility of the household department to receive the preferential silver. Therefore, Sun Wenjie also set up a special agency to be responsible for this task.
But the people who were sent out soon came back in disgrace, saying that they looked like they were going to perform official duties, and it was obviously like they were going to fight the autumn wind. When he entered the door, he did not get much money, but was driven out.
To put it simply, it was the court officials who agreed to implement this policy, but it was the wives of these officials who managed the money. They were forced to take the money out, and they were naturally unwilling to do so, so they had a bad attitude and could not give all the money.
When this matter was reflected in front of the adults, they seemed to have discussed it in advance, and they all said that the women were ignorant and that they would definitely teach a good lesson when they went back.
That being said, no one took the initiative to send the money to the household. The household department sent someone to the door again, and Mrs. Gong was reprimanded by her husband, and all the anger in her stomach was sprinkled on them.
Don't say that you are taking the money out of them, but also chase the household staff, saying that they want to take back the previous silver. Some well-bred ladies are better, but as for those who are fierce, they have to complain a lot.
Originally, the household department was sent down from above, and there was also an official document in his hand. But the bad thing is for the adults.
They are all high-ranking and powerful, and it is okay if this official document is not presented, but if they take it out, they will think that it is Liwei. In the end, the money must be taken out, but the household department has offended people.
