Chapter 19: I Want to Enter the Palace
"Brother He Jin, Brother Ji, I'm sorry to keep you waiting!"
At the gate of the mansion, Liu Huayun had already heard Yang Jiajun, who was guarding the door, said that the prince was waiting for him in the living room, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he came quickly, and he smiled and said to the two people in the house and the authentic tea.
"It's okay, Brother Liu, come on, sit down and have a drink!"
He Jin was still the same as when he was in Hangzhou, with an indifferent smile on his face, he beckoned, asked Liu Huayun to sit down, and talked with him.
Of course, the topic is nothing more than the corrupt officials in Yulu and the resettlement of disaster victims.
According to He Jin, the current saint He Yu loves the people like a son, and when he received a report from the local government about the disaster two months ago, he allocated relief food, thinking that the people had been properly resettled;
But the result was that Wang Han, the governor of Yulu, and others deceived their superiors and subordinates, and embezzled hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, causing the people to be displaced.
Liu Huayun was not present, and he could also imagine how the emperor's old man was furious in the imperial study.
Several Shangshu waiters in charge of the household department and the criminal department were scolded by He Yu, who was furious, and ordered him to arrest Wang Han, Zhu Jia and others as soon as possible, recover the stolen silver, and appease the people;
Tao Zeyu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, because he was an important minister of the Fu King's lineage, was dismissed from his official position by Emperor He Yu on the grounds that the supervision was not strict, causing Yin Xu Yun of Kaifeng Mansion to be wronged, and let Han Zhong, the squire installed by the prince, take the throne.
At the same time, Chu Jun, the head of the household, although he was a neutral old minister of the two dynasties, was inevitably scolded by a bloody meal, but fortunately, Emperor He Yu cared about the old feelings, and this old official position was finally not lost;
But the two servants under him were not so lucky, because they were usually close to King Fu, and they were all dismissed and investigated.
A little girl and the account book she brought brought made such a huge change in the court, which was already in a glued state, and several of her cronies took the opportunity to take the position, how could the prince He Jin not be in a good mood.
However, at the root of it, all this was brought by Liu Huayun, without him meeting Xu Li'er on the way and escorting her all the way to Beijing, there would be no good situation today;
At this time, He Jin couldn't help but believe that his brother Liu was his lucky general, so he didn't say anything about his attitude.
"Brother He Jin, I will take Ruoping back to Hangzhou to get married in a few days, I don't know if you can agree to this?"
After He Jinlang finished speaking with a smile, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was good, Liu Huayun nodded at Ji Xiaolan, and mentioned the ultimate purpose of coming to Beijing in a timely manner.
"This~~~, Brother Liu, there are still some things for you to deal with in the court, and you can't take Miss Ruoping out of the capital now," Hearing him mention this matter, the smile on He Jin's face slowly faded, and he said solemnly.
I'll rub, is it true that the prince He Jin is really the villain who backtracked, when my brother helped you in Hangzhou, you promised that you would never force me.
While slandering in his heart, Liu Huayun asked with a smile: "I don't know what it is?" Brother He Jin just said clearly......"
The emperor's order cannot be violated, and for the sake of today, there is only one way to dismantle it, so although Liu Huayun is a little speechless in his heart, there is no good way.
"It's a good thing, it's about my ninth sister and recruiting horses? Master Ji, you and Brother Liu talk about the specific situation! ”
Hehe smiled, He Jin said playfully.
"That's right, in a few days, the envoys of Goryeo, Dongying, Jurchen, and Mongolia will come to Beijing, and our Princess Yunling of Dafeng has also reached the age of leaving the cabinet......"
Ji Xiaolan took over He Jin's topic and told Liu Huayun about the things about harmony in the court this morning.
"Duke Yunling mainly chooses the horses in public, the princes of the four countries and the junjie of Dafeng, all have a chance? Brother He Jin, but I already have Ruoxi, Ruoping, Tingting, and Yushi, and they don't meet the conditions of the concubine~~~"
Looking at the eldest brother of the prince in front of him, the mysterious smirk, after listening to Ji Xiaolan's words, Liu Huayun scratched his head a little inexplicably;
At the beginning, he wanted to flatly refuse, but in the dark, Liu Huayun had a feeling that if he refused, it would be a lifelong regret for himself, so he wanted to stop talking.
"Well~~~, this is indeed a problem, or else, since you can't give up, so many confidants, you and I finally talked to my father and the emperor and the quota for you, forget it......"
It turned out that after learning that Liu Huayun was in the capital, He Jin proposed to use the method of openly recruiting horses to solve the truce with his relatives proposed by the Mongolian king;
In the face of the envoys of the four countries, if they lose in the competition, not only will the Mongols have nothing to say, but they can also rub their prestige.
In this matter, after inquiring about the ninth princess, she learned that Ailang could also participate, and she had readily agreed;
After all, this is a great opportunity for the two to be together.
"Wait, I don't know what Princess Yunling's surname is? Big brother, Brother Ji, don't fool me, tell my little brother quickly, just let me beg you! ”
Suddenly, thinking of the white-clothed figure that glanced at the first time when he first arrived in the capital yesterday, Liu Huayun asked anxiously.
"Don't look at me, I really don't know, you better ask His Royal Highness the Prince!"
Ji Xiaolan is not an imperial city guard, she has no right to walk in the harem, she has never seen the ninth princess who lives in a shallow way, shook her head, and he kicked the ball to He Jin.
"This? My father has an order, and I can't say it now...... Okay, I won't tease you, take it, Ninth Sister, she asked me to give this thing to you, saying that you will know it at a glance! ”
He Jin still had that faint smile, he saw that Liu Huayun was so anxious that he rubbed his hands, so he laughed, took out an object from his arms, and handed it to his eyes.
"Lingxin, it's really Lingxin, Brother He Jin, I want to enter the palace, I want to see Princess Yunling now......"
Liu Huayun took this hosta, which was not very valuable, but the ecstasy in his eyes could no longer be hidden, because he was too familiar with this hosta.
This is the original Jinling, the two left the Yuelai Inn, on the way to Xuanwu Lake, Liu Huayun, who did not have too much money on his body, casually on the side of the road, for the chivalrous sister on a date, to buy jewelry.
"I'm afraid not, the palace is heavy, without the summons of your father, once you set foot in it, it is a felony to trespass into the forbidden palace, if you want to see the ninth sister, you still need to have an official position......
It just so happens that there is a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials now, are you interested, Brother Liu? ”
Liu Huayun has never wanted to enter the court as an official, but this time he finally grabbed his life, and He Jin was willing to meet his requirements easily;
The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, in charge of the promotion and demotion of officials, Dafeng's Ministry of Officials Shangshu Ge Hongqin, is equivalent to Liu Huayun's previous life of some dynasties, one person under ten thousand people above the prime minister.
Now as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, he is old, and once he has a good job, the position of the first minister will be born from a few servants;
Liu Huayun is his most trusted brother, and let him hold this important position and assist him in his own affairs, He Jin thought that he had already planned it.
"This, the younger brother is only a shallow learner, I am afraid of living up to the expectations of the eldest brother, besides, what about the 30,000 garrisons in Zhejiang, the brothers are still waiting for me, the acting commander, to raise military salaries for them?"
In Liu Huayun's impression, the servant of the ministry is equivalent to half a Heshen, which is an absolute fat difference, but he is free and easy by nature, and he can't stand to get up from the warm fragrance of nephrite every day to go to the early dynasty;
And Jiangnan still has many fetters, and being a self-respecting businessman is the life Liu Huayun wants to live.
