Snow overnight.

The entire imperial city is like a layer of silver makeup, quiet and peaceful.

Today's imperial city is probably the most peaceful time since the establishment of the dynasty.

A great victory in northern Xinjiang seems to have stabilized the stormy national fortunes.

The cabinet ministers, who were already strong to the point of aggressiveness, became more and more confident to clean up the rule of officials.

A large number of officials with little reputation but extremely pragmatic were excavated from the corners and served as the chief officials of various yamen.

And by taking advantage of this east wind, it swept out of Shenjing in one fell swoop and blew to the eighteen provinces of Daqian.

The ministers of the world, all follow!

Most of the 300,000 nine-sided troops also gathered in Yongcheng, and Xiao Jinjun was in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, dispatching grain and grass, surveying geography, and waiting for the opportunity to send troops.

What is the timing of the troop?

The big cadres and businessmen wantonly purchased grain in Annam, Siam, and other countries, although it was carried out in a low-key manner.

But after two months, no matter how sluggish the authorities in both countries were, they also discovered the skyrocketing prices at home.

Because later, the big merchants bought not only grain, but also vegetables, fruits, and meat.

Even cloth and herbs were bought in large quantities.

A large amount of silver poured in, but the goods flowed out like a bottomless pit, and the small country was widowed, and in just one month, Annam and Siam were stunned by soaring prices.

When they discovered the problem, they immediately began to arrest the big merchants who were still sweeping goods in their country.

However, before they could figure out what to do, the Great Cadres had already sent envoys to warn Annam, Siam, and other countries to immediately release the Great Cadres and strictly demand that they open up trade freedom.

The heads of state of the two countries have long been confused, how can they bother to pay attention to the envoys?

At this time, the news that Anguo, Siam and other countries were originally the homeland of the Han family, but were seized by gangsters at a time when the country was in trouble, and now they are unreasonably oppressing the people of the homeland, blowing like a hurricane through the 18 provinces of Daqian.

How can the people of the great cadres who are in the midst of a great victory in northern Xinjiang endure such humiliation?

Fueled by many storytellers, a just national war gradually kicked off amid the surging condemnation of the whole country......

However, the driving force behind all this is hiding in the Ninefold Deep Palace, and he has a headache about the palace draft......

……

Outside the Eight Phoenix Palace, the cold wind is cold.

Inside the hall, it is as warm as spring, and the fragrance is permeated.

On the bed of the red acid branch inlaid with shell carved landscape concubine, there is a cloud silk yarn tent hanging.

Inside the tent, the thin brocade of the bright red Danfeng Chaoyang was undulating like a wave......

I don't know how long it took, with a coquettish moan, a snowy arm stretched out the brocade quilt, clenched the brocade quilt, and finally calmed down.

The brocade was slowly stretched out, and I saw a piece of green silk scattered on the pillow with an autumn fragrance pigmented brocade.

A pretty face full of shy and flushed eyebrows and picturesque eyes, biting the corners of his lips and slowly revealing them, the hair on his forehead was wet with fine sweat and sticking to it.

The brocade was slipped off, revealing a thin but athletic body.

"Hoo ......"

After exhaling lightly, seeing that Baochai had put on his middle coat and the spring in his apricot eyes was still strong, Jia Cong raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

At this time, Ying'er, who had been waiting behind the ebony carved and embroidered screen, blushed and came in with the clean water prepared in advance.

Baochai took the handkerchief first, wiped it for Jia Cong in person, went around to the screen, cleaned it himself, and returned to the couch.

Jia Cong was shirtless, leaning on the brocade pillow in contemplation.

In the time of the sage, the mind is extraordinarily clear.

On the land of Qilu, a large number of construction projects and factories are being built, mainly shipyards that can build sea ships, and the development of iron ore and coal mines is supported.

Although the victims are constantly being moved to the southwest, Qilu is a province with a large population, and immigration alone cannot solve the problem at the root.

Therefore, replacing vibration with work is the best way out.

When the shipbuilders and iron-smelting craftsmen brought by Rosa Capet from the south arrived in Beijing, they immediately sent them over to preside over the shipbuilding.

Shandong Linhai, the old forest of Heiliao is more than hundreds of years of giant trees, cut down and thrown into the sea to be dragged to Qilu by boat, can be used as a shipbuilding keel, extremely convenient.

With him, the research and development of firearms will continue to be deepened, and the northern grasslands will no longer be a major problem for the Central Plains.

And with the continuous deepening and innovation of the new law, the lives of the people at the bottom will continue to improve, and even in a year of disaster, they will not be unable to survive.

The people of the Han family have always been the best people, as long as they can survive, almost no one wants to rebel with their heads.

In this way, the internal and external troubles have been calmed, and the next thing to do is to open up the ocean with the strength of the whole country and compete for the luck of China in the next three hundred years!

In later generations, many sheepdogs envied the wealth, freedom and elegance of the West, but never thought about where the West's heritage came from.

If there were no hundreds of years of bloody colonial plunder, plundering back endless resources and wealth, and even slave populations, how would those Westerners whose ancestors were mostly islands use the Bible to disguise them as symbols of civilization?

Even a few hundred years later, the rogue faces of those Western civilizations are still based on the foundation laid by hundreds of years of looting and accumulation.

Therefore, Jia Cong should take advantage of this last and best opportunity to do what he can!

The only regret is that it is impossible for him to personally board the ship and cross the ocean.

Even with his current status as a man of his word, it is impossible for the courtiers and the palace to allow it.

Jia Cong fell into deep thought, and Baochai wore a palace robe and sat on the side and looked at him quietly.

Seeing that he sometimes frowned lightly and sometimes showed pride, Baochai seemed to be fascinated......

It is said that men who do things seriously are the most attractive, and Jia Cong, who is already handsome and talented, is even more obsessed with girls by his contemplative appearance.

Not to mention who he is now......

It's just that when he finally showed a touch of regret on his face, Baochai felt a pang in his heart, and saw that Jia Cong shook his head slightly and sighed lightly, and he had recovered from his contemplation, so he couldn't help but ask: "Master, but what's wrong with it?" ”

Jia Cong stared at her, and when he saw that she was full of concern, he smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and said softly: "I was going to take you to sea together, find an island to spend the rest of your life easily and happily, I didn't want to come to this point." If you want to board the ship and go to sea again, I'm afraid it will be difficult......"

Hearing his full of regret, Baochai pursed his lips and smiled: "What are you still thinking about?" Now it's impossible, the lord bears the weight of the world, the son of ten thousand gold, it's not easy to even get out of the palace, let alone mention the sea. ”

"yes......"

Jia Cong shook his head and smiled: "Jia Jiazheng's birthday, I originally wanted to go to celebrate my birthday in person, but I didn't expect such a big reaction......"

October 26 is Jia Zheng's birthday, and Jia Cong wanted to go to Jiafu to celebrate his birthday.

As a result, as soon as the words came out, the Queen Mother couldn't pass the pass in the first place.

The cabinet got the letter, and Zhao Qingshan left so many government affairs behind, and he also entered the palace to advise.

In the end, there was no way, Jia Cong could only write a letter of worship and send a birthday gift to Jia's house.

Fortunately, perhaps satisfied that he could listen to the advice, not only did the Queen Mother send someone to Jia's house to give gifts, but even the cabinet ministers all sent words or pen and ink scrolls, and one person sent a gift to Jia's house.

Not to mention the harem ladies......

Such a grand style attracted the noble and high-ranking families of the Manshen capital to look sideways.

Although the title of the Jia family has not yet been decided, Jia Zheng has not been rewarded with an official and a half-knight.

But the transcendence of his identity is no less than that of the Zhen family's Fengsheng Lady back then.

Hearing Jia Cong's words, Baochai put his face on his shoulder and smiled softly: "The master is now supreme and noble, if he really goes to Jiafu in person, the old man is not comfortable, and the old lady is not comfortable, hehe...... Oh yes, there's one more thing I forgot to tell my grandfather. After Qin'er entered the palace, I sent someone to let my second uncle and aunt go back to the south with my mother and brother. ”

"What are you doing in such a hurry?"

Jia Cong frowned and asked.

Baochai sighed lightly and said, "The Xue family sent another person into the palace, and they were handpicked by the Queen Mother, and now the Xue family is treated outside very differently than before." In the past, although the Xue family was the same as the Jia, Shi, and Wang families in the south, they were the four major families in Jinling, but in this generation, in addition to being rich, they had already been defeated. After entering Beijing, it is even more difficult to enter the eyes of Gaomen. But now, the world friends who have not been in contact for many years have also resumed contact, and there are more people who come to ask for this and that. Invite my brother to dinner all day long, my brother's temperament, where can he withstand such a battle, if he doesn't leave Beijing, something will happen sooner or later. The second uncle is a knowledgeable person, and after getting the letter, he led the Xue family south on the second day. The same master said this, I want the master to say hello to the officials in the south, and don't tolerate their misdeeds just because the Xue family has a daughter in the palace, if so, not only will I not be grateful, but I will annoy them. ”

Jia Cong smiled when he heard this, and when he saw Baochai's solemn expression, he bowed his head and said, "Okay, I know about this." It's hard for you to be so virtuous......"

Baochai soothed her face and said with a smile: "What kind of virtuous is this, the Queen Mother taught us before how to really protect our mother's family." With us in the palace, no one will bully them. This is already a great favor, if you are not satisfied and want to bully men and women, you will not hesitate to be blessed, such a person will not last long. The Queen Mother, her old man, has never done anything for the Ye family in her life, and we should follow suit as younger generations. ”

The two talked for a while, and the sky outside was about to reveal the white of the fish's belly, but Baochai was already about to get up.

Although Jia Cong persuaded two sentences, Baochai didn't listen to this matter, and said with a smile: "Sister Ping'er now has a body, she can't manage palace affairs, if I am lazy again, only three girls and one person, where can I hold it?" ”

Jia Cong said: "Isn't Zijuan also helping?" ”

Hearing this, Baochai twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "She is staying there on behalf of Feng'er, how can she speak when she is idle?" ”

Jia Congqi was surprised and asked, "Why is she so difficult to speak?" ”

Baochai glanced at Jia Cong with disgust and said: "Most of the things in the palace are handled by the female officials of the Sixth Bureau and the Palace Zhengsi according to the palace rules, and only those that are difficult to decide will be reported to us." The three of us discussed and discussed together before making an idea, just in time to see if any of the rules were no longer appropriate and changed. If Zijuan opened her mouth, there was no need to discuss this matter, and she could only do what she said. ”

Jia Cong smiled dumbly and said, "You are so serious? ”

Seeing Baochai coming over, Jia Cong hurriedly waved his hand and smiled: "It's a gaffe, there are tens of thousands of people in the palace, you are right." But only you and the third sister can't be busy, let Yun'er and Baoqin help you together. ”

Baochai was satisfied, and when he saw that the time was not early, he no longer delayed and went to work first.

……

When Jia Cong returned to Mingde Palace from Cining Palace and Xian'an Palace, he saw Daiyu and Ye Qing talking and laughing at breakfast.

He was not polite, he stepped forward and sat down, Zijuan was not there, and Luzhu smiled and sent porridge to Jia Cong.

Daiyu smiled and peeled a chicken for Jia Cong, Ye Qing reminded: "Eat quickly, what to eat, Sister Lin will let you make up for it." ”

Dai Yuqi's pretty face blushed, there was no way to take this sister.

That's what she means, can she still let Jia Cong "eat eggs and make up for eggs"?

Lu Zhu couldn't stand it either, and took the opportunity to add porridge to Ye Qing and ran away.

Jia Cong didn't bother to pay attention, ate the eggs in two bites, and ate the spring rolls with side dishes.

Ye Qing saw that he didn't react, so she stopped sneering, and she said with a straight face: "The founding prince's mansion ordered the Guo family to ask Mrs. Song Guo to enter the palace and hand me a letter, begging me to intercede. The life of the Li family has been difficult recently, and the friendship with the Zheng Guogong Mansion is broken, although Liu Zhi, the Duke of Song Guogong, explained that he does not blame Li Daolin, but the nobles and military ministers are all waiting for the attitude in the palace, waiting for you to speak. If you don't open your mouth for a day, no one will dare to be next to the Li family at this time. Qingchen, you and I both know what this matter is all about, but you still have to make the decision, whether to completely suppress the Founding Mansion or stop here, you must always give an accurate word. ”

On the day when the great victory of Northern Xinjiang was transmitted to the capital, Li Daolin did not throw out a palm thunder, and gave away the lives of him and Zheng Guogong Tu You, and also abolished Liu Zhi, the Duke of Song.

Maybe outsiders only thought that Li Daolin had missed once, and even the Li family's own soldiers said so, because they had witnessed it with their own eyes.

But Jia Cong and Ye Qing can conclude that there must be cause and effect in it.

It's just that King Wu didn't say it, they didn't ask, and there was no need to ask......

After this incident, not only did the founding government lose its pillars, but most of the influence in the army was cut off at once.

and the intimate Zheng Guo Mansion has become a stranger......

And the reason why Liu Zhi, the Duke of Song, was able to be preserved was because he was originally a minister of Zhenyuan on the side of Zhao Chong, the Duke of Xuanguo, after two rounds of cleaning by Emperor Chongkang and King Wu, the foundation of the army had long been excavated, not to mention that although Liu Zhi saved his life, he also lost a pair of eyes, and there were many shrapnel left on his body, making it difficult to leave the sickbed.

Zhen Yuan Xun is a complete end......

Ye Qing understood this, so he didn't help them intercede because of his friendship with the Founding Mansion and his friendship with Li Hu.

Right and wrong, sometimes she is more clear than Jia Cong.

Jia Cong ate the bijiao porridge with side dishes, was silent for a while, and asked, "Is Li Daolin buried?" ”

Ye Qing nodded and said, "Buried hastily, it's very deserted." I'm afraid that you will hold a grudge, and no one will come to the door to hang your filial piety. The son is heavy on him...... Alas. ”

Sighing slightly, Ye Qing didn't continue.

Jia Cong took the spring rolls handed by Daiyu, took a bite and chewed them all, then looked at Ye Qing and asked, "Do you think Zizhong will understand this?" After all, there's nothing new under the sun......"

Ye Qing's expression turned grim when he heard this, he blinked his bright eyes, looked at Jia Cong and asked softly, "You mean, you want to ......?"

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

Jia Cong saw that Ye Qing's face was faintly shocked, and said with a smile: "Where do you want to go, don't ...... like this" After a pause, he said again: "You let Luzhu go to the Founding Mansion and tell Guo and Zizhong that the matter of that night is over." Since the father said that he would not blame the Li family, Lone would not blame. When Liu Yaolun returns, Zizhong's will will be given together. Then Zizhong Dai Xiao went out on an expedition and rushed to the southwest. The sons of the generals, the brothers and brothers put on armor, and the fathers and sons go on the expedition. Whether the lintel of the founding prince can be restored depends on Li Hu himself. The heavenly family will not give preferential treatment, nor will it suppress, it all depends on what he can do. ”

Hearing this, Ye Qing looked at Jia Cong and smiled, and asked, "Aren't you afraid that he will know the truth?" ”

Jia Cong raised his eyebrows and said, "The truth? What truth? Where is there so much truth in this world? At the beginning, Li Daolin sat back and watched the soldiers of the Long Forbidden Captain surround Long Shouyuan, and he was already doomed to his current fate. If anyone wants to come to me for the truth, let him come to me, and the Father will pay the debt, and I will fulfill him. ”

Daiyu sighed on the side, a pair of beautiful eyes that seemed to be filled with morning dew, and stared at Jia Cong with radiant eyes.

Ye Qing pursed his lips, and after saying "domineering", he had a great appetite, and asked Luzhu to add porridge to her, and glanced at Jia Cong from time to time, as a meal......
