Mu Zhixin lowered his voice and said, after looking left and right, he pulled Qin Niang and walked to the inner room.

After everyone was dismissed, she whispered: "This matter is the internal affairs of the Li family, and I shouldn't have talked too much, but now that the situation is changing, I'm afraid that if you don't know that you will be calculated in the future." ”

Qin Niang raised her eyebrows: "What the hell is going on, so mysterious?" ”

"Do you remember the Miss Gao who played polo together last time?" Mu Zhixin asked.

Qin Niang carefully recalled the appearance of Miss Gao in her mind, and then nodded, waiting for her to continue.

Mu Zhixin saw that she remembered this person, so she continued: "That Miss Gao's sister-in-law was carried into the Li family a few days ago. ”

Qin Niang half-opened her mouth, and her mind turned for a while before she came back to her senses, which family was the Li family she was talking about.

"Is it the Jingzhao Yin Li family?" Qin Niang asked, "For whom?" ”

It can't be what she thinks, right?

She has only been in the palace for a few days, why are things outside changing rapidly?

Mu Zhixin knew that she had guessed as soon as she saw her reaction, and immediately nodded and said, "It's for Sister Yuanyuan's husband, Li Yifan." ”

Qin Niang looked at her with wide eyes, and it took a long while before she said loudly: "Why? Since the Li family married Ah Yuan and entered the door, hasn't they never accepted any concubines to enter the door? Why do you suddenly want to take a concubine, and she is still the daughter of the Gao family? ”

Everyone knows that Li Dashao has always been romantic, and he likes to touch flowers and grass outside on weekdays, but he has never brought any grass back to the house, so Fang Yuanyuan is also very satisfied.

Everyone thinks that it is because of the Li family's family style, and now they are suddenly going to take concubines, can this not be surprising?

"It's not that the Gao family is shameless, what kind of poetry banquet was held, but Li Dashao drank two more cups, and accidentally bumped into the concubine on the way out of Gong, and it didn't take long for the Gao family to order a sedan chair to carry people into the Li family, and the Li family was not easy to deny the account, just like that, the concubine of the Gao family became the concubine of the Li family." Mu Zhixin said and sighed, "Anyone can see that Li Dashao is most likely calculated, but the Gao family is not an ordinary family, and Jing Zhaoyin really doesn't dare to refuse." ”

Qin Niang really didn't know about this matter.

She has been in the palace for more than a month, and she is not clear about the things outside the palace, not to mention this kind of matter related to the internal affairs of the house, and no one will hype it up, and the Gao family and the Li family are also considered to be figures with heads and faces in the capital, so no one will discuss this matter.

"I want to come to Sister Yuanyuan, I'm not in a good mood these days, I heard that Miss Gao is not a good stubble, after entering the Li family, she hasn't stopped, I'll tell you first, it's to let you have a bottom in your heart, I heard my eldest brother say, someone wants to tie up the Li family and force the Li family to stand in line." Since the matter of beating the prince and forming a party was exposed, all the ministers in the court and the central government have clamped their tails one after another, for fear of being caught by the emperor.

At this time, whoever is caught forming a party for personal gain will be unlucky.

The Gao family forcibly wanted to tie up with the Li family with a concubine, and at this time, if someone didn't know the situation, I was afraid that they would get into trouble.

"Why is it that every family is not peaceful." Qin Niang sighed.

Cheng'an Houfu is now for a Xie Lin, and the Lu family still comes to the door every day to ask for an explanation, and it is a pillar and a splash, and the Li family is forcibly tied up again, it seems that in the future, the situation in the capital will be even worse.

"Now that the crown prince has lost power, those princes have begun to stir again, as long as these courtiers are not determined to be pure ministers, who will not follow the commotion? In the future, I am afraid that a family like ours, even if we don't want to get involved in the struggle for succession, we will not be able to escape the fate of being manipulated. On Mu Zhixin's baby face, a look of sadness appeared in his eyes, "Just look at my named uncle." ”

At the mention of Xie Lin, even Qin Niang couldn't help but sigh.

Although Lu's words just now were a bit exaggerated, if Xie Lin was really convicted, Cheng Anhou would be somewhat implicated, at least, he would not have the Sacred Heart as before.

"Your uncle can be mediocre, presumably Your Majesty also knows, and he is timid, at this time, the Xie family had better keep to themselves and stop making trouble, if it continues to make trouble, I am afraid that Your Majesty will wonder if the Xie family is a thief." Qin Niang looked at Mu Zhixin and said seriously, "Although our daughter's family is not qualified to ask about the affairs of the court, the survival of the family is closely related to us, you still have to find a way to make the old lady Xie stop." ”

As far as the brains of the Xie family are concerned, if they are left alone and let them die, soon, the matter will reach the ears of the emperor, and when the time comes, the emperor originally did not plan to dispose of Xie Lin so quickly, so he will deal with it in a fit of anger.

A third of the grain and grass was lost, which is not a small amount, and if you really want to dispose of it, it will be considered a small amount to take off his official position.

"Sister Qin, you have also seen it, my cheap grandmother is so fierce, she is crazy like a market woman, if it weren't for my grandfather recuperating outside and ignoring the government, where would she be able to toss and turn like this." As soon as Mu Zhixin's words came out, he was stunned for a moment.

That's right, grandfather.

Mu Zhixin's eyes lit up, and she looked at Qin Niang happily and said, "I'll send someone to take my grandfather back." ”

With that, she ran out quickly.

Qiu Tao and Qiu Xue came in with a curtain, and looked at Mu Zhixin, who soon ran away, with a curious expression.

Qiu Tao asked, "Miss, Miss Mu Er has picked up a treasure?" ”

The little girl in Mu Zhixin's courtyard saw that her master and Qin Niang had finished whispering, and immediately brought up the snacks and tea that had been prepared, Qin Niang pinched up a piece of delicate peach blossom cake, took a small bite, and the fresh peach blossom fragrance immediately overflowed her mouth.

She swallowed it with satisfaction, licked her teeth with her tongue, nodded and said, "This cake is well done, I'll ask Ah Xin if I can give me the recipe later, and I'll make one later." She took a sip of tea and wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before answering Qiu Tao's question just now, "She is not only picking up treasures, she is happier than picking up treasures." ”

After all, there is no one else in this world who can control the Lu family except Jian Guogong.

Even if the Lu family is a concubine again, she is now the Duchess of Jian Guo, the second grade, and she has also given birth to children for the Duke of Jian Guo for so many years, no matter how unhappy these people are, they are also nominal elders.

Donglin has always ruled the country with filial piety, and if the juniors have to teach the elders, it will not be good to say it.

Therefore, it is more useful to bring back Jian Guogong, who is raising his body in the suburbs and does not listen to anything outside the window.

After Mu Zhixin came back, the two chatted for a while, and the head of the Gu family reported outside the courtyard, saying that Gu Chen was waiting for her at the Yimen, so she got up, left Mu Zhixin's courtyard, and left Cheng'an Houfu with Gu Chen.

"What's going on in the southwest, how is Cheng'an waiting to find out?" The carriage left the Cheng'an Houfu, Qin Niang asked.

"As I expected, there is only a little change over there, and it has not reached the point of riot, but it is true that the military salary has been deducted for a long time, Hu Zongbing has written to the court several times, but the letter has been stopped halfway, Your Majesty has never received any report about the southwest side about food and salary, so Hu Zongbing was in a hurry, so he made such a move." When the southwest is in chaos, those who have a heart will always be ready to move.

If they want to take the opportunity to subdue Hu Dalun, they have to poke the matter in front of the emperor, so that the long-term detention of military salaries in the southwest can no longer be hidden.

Song Huai wanted to go to the southwest in person, just to take the opportunity to get the military power in the southwest, but the emperor sent Cheng Anhou, Cheng Anhou was only loyal to the monarch, and he was bound to thoroughly investigate the whole truth of the matter.

Therefore, along the way, Song Huai sent many people to assassinate him.

However, fortunately, everything went well, and Cheng Anhou finally came back alive.

"The specific report has been presented to His Majesty, and the relevant evidence has also been handed over, presumably Song Huai can't sit still at this time." This time, he asked Song Huai's first big arm, Yan Shangshu, to also dismount, otherwise, the food of the border soldiers would be deducted again in the future.

As long as he thought of the tens of thousands of soldiers at the border crossing fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and these people in the imperial court were pulling their hind legs for their own selfish interests, a cold light burst out of Gu Chen's eyes.

Sure enough, less than two days after Cheng'an returned to Beijing, he heard that Zuo Shilang of the Shangshu Household Department pushed him out, saying that he had done something about military salaries, greedy for a large amount of military funds, and presented the emperor with a copy of the guilty plea, saying that he was not strict with his majesty, and was guilty of negligence, and was willing to be demoted.

When Gu Chen came back and talked about it, Qin Niang was stunned: "They have used this trick of losing the car and protecting the handsome many times, and they also take retreat as advance, Your Majesty will not be confused again this time, you really believe him, right?" ”

How can a small four-grade squire have the ability to be greedy for military salaries for so many years?

As long as the emperor is not a fool, he can figure it out.

"Your Majesty naturally doesn't believe it." Gu Chen tugged at the corners of his lips and said mockingly, "Yan Shangshu and the prince are now in-laws!" In less than a month, Miss Yan will be the crown princess, and the prince has colluded with Qi Hang before, and the bribery is in front of you, you say, will Your Majesty believe that Yan Shangshu and the prince are not colluding with each other to steal from themselves? ”

Qin Niang thought that if she was the emperor, she would definitely not let go of the prince.

With such an obvious retreat as advance, they are afraid that they will not treat the emperor as a fool!

"And then?" Qin Niang asked curiously.

Since the emperor is not stupid, then Yan Shangshu will not really want to demote himself and give up the position of Shangshu in his hand, right?

"Then His Majesty agreed, demoted Yan Shangshu by two levels, demoted to Zuo Shilang, as for the position of Shangshu, it was given to Cai Ming, and the military department was handed over to Cheng'an Houguan, and the two major departments that the prince had to use were all taken away at once." probably didn't even expect that the emperor would really belittle him.

This household department is very interesting to say, everyone has only one book, but the household department has two common affairs.
