In the evening, in the Ming'an Palace.

Gu Xi and Gu Jin sat opposite each other on the kang, the windows facing the courtyard were wide open, and the courtyard full of lanterns was bright and warm.

Gu Jin sipped his wine, listened to the uproar coming from outside the Chenhui Gate, and laughed: "The Shangyuan Festival is getting more and more lively every year,"

"No, at this moment, it's already bustling outside."

Gu Xi laughed along.

"Just after noon, there are people waiting to see the lottery around Aoshan, and there is more than an hour before the lottery, and the surrounding water is crowded.

As soon as I arrived at the Shangyuan Festival, I realized that there were so many people in Jianle City, the streets and alleys were crowded with people everywhere, and I didn't know where so many people usually went. ”

"For several years in a row, the harvest was good. Looking at this year's timing, it is likely to be another bumper year. "Gu Jin is in a better mood." Yongjiaku this year's new replacement, you quietly go over to take a look, and then draw a few warehouses to come out to see, if anyone dares to reach out to the granary, there is no mercy. ”

"Okay." Gu Xi responded simply.

"I'm going to transfer the household to you.

When you spent two years, you thoroughly inspected the granaries in various places, as well as a few places that we discussed before, and repaired the granaries in these two years and filled them with new grain.

The East and West workshops and weapons were handed over to Pan Xiang. ”

Gu Jin's voice fell.

"The household department is the deputy of Yongping Hou." Gu Xi's eyebrows raised slightly.

"Transfer him to act as the Ministry of Rites, the prime minister, hasn't he been looking at the phase." Gu Jin chuckled.

"To thoroughly inspect the granary and hold the grain, the household department has to change a lot of people, and this is another battle." Gu Xi looked at Gu Jin and raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Well, it's Shen Yun who takes care of the household, not Shen He.

Two years ago, I was going to take the household department over, and I tried it a few times, but Shen Yun held the household department tightly, and it was extremely difficult to start.

Shen Yun is a person who is silent and has a lot of ideas, and he has been unmoved by the opportunity to move back to him a few times.

Now that Shen Yun is dead, this matter can be done.

When the yamen is opened, let's start with the household servant who Shen Yun emptied.

You go back and pick out the right people to meet with Shouzhen, and the people you should see will start to meet from tomorrow. ”

Gu Jin smiled.

"Good!" Gu Xi happily agreed, and raised his glass to Gu Jin.

The two drank the wine in the cup, Gu Xi leaned over to pour wine for Gu Jin, lowered his eyes and said: "After the New Year's Day court meeting, I see that the emperor's face is not very good. ”

Gu Jin sighed lowly: "Well, the emperor's body is not getting better every year.

Yesterday I saw the emperor and said about the canonization of the crown prince, the emperor was a little hesitant, and said that in the second half of the year, if his illness has not improved, he will be canonized as the crown prince at the end of the year. ”

Gu Xi frowned, "The emperor has been dragging it out, not being justified, saying that he doesn't want to wronged the eldest brother, it's really ......"

The three words of fake coy in the back, Gu Xi swallowed hard.

"But this prince is not registered for a day, and the group of bastards in the Yongping Marquis Mansion will not be at ease for a day, not worrying about the eldest brother, not worrying about me, trying every means to make trouble, and the emperor will protect them.

If we want to get it, we have to give them a benefit.

But we're not doing it for ourselves! ”

"Give them the officials." Gu Jin lowered his eyes and said.

"Officials?" Gu Xi glared.

"The ministry is in charge of the Wu Xiang, and there is Wu Xiang according to him, and there is no big mistake.

Besides, the officials of the Beijing Dynasty were just transferred to the examination last year, and they took the exam every three years, and it was still early before the next exam.

As for routine grinding, Shen Yun is already dead, and if Shen He's father and son want to sort out some clues, it will take two or three years to say the least, and besides, they may not have this patience.

After opening the government, the household department was moved first, and then the officials were released to him after the Yongping Marquis Mansion was noisy for a while.

In between, there can be room for two or three months.

In the past two or three months, let Shouzhen sort out the people on the side of the Marquis of Yongping, be familiar with the officials, or if the people are smart and fast, pick a good place for them, and it doesn't hurt to raise them a little by one liter, and transfer them out of the capital. Gu Jin smiled.

"Okay." Gu Xi agreed, was silent for a moment, and his voice fell extremely low, "Two or three years, what do you think?" ”

"The emperor has been by the side of the emperor since he was a child, fighting for the heirs, nine deaths and one life, the physical loss is terrible, and the disease is deeply rooted, alas, it will only be two or three years." Gu Jin sighed a few times.

Gu Xi moved, sat more comfortably, and raised his glass to Gu Jin.

……………………

Li Sangrou, the dark horse, and the golden retriever, ate and drank slowly in Yuxian Shop, ate and drank well, and walked along Zhuquemen Street to Yu Street.

Today, the lights are on the mountain, the huge Ao Mountain is lit up, and the world-famous Jianle City Shangyuan Lantern Festival officially begins.

The dark horse and the golden retriever were on one side, next to Li Sangrou, squeezing out dozens of steps, the black horse couldn't help it, pulled Li Sangrou, and said in his ear: "Boss, you look at so many people, if you stab you coldly and kill a few people, it is very easy." ”

"You two are so tight with me, are you afraid that I will be stabbed?" Li Sangrou stopped.

The dark horse and the golden retriever nodded together.

Li Sangrou raised her hand to wipe her face, sighed, reached out and grabbed the arms of the black horse and the golden retriever, and pushed the two in front of her.

"Look at the red men and green women all over the street, if you kill someone on the street at this time, the flesh and blood are blurred, will it be chaotic immediately? What is going to be like this? ”

"That's going to have to kill a lot of people." The dark horse replied very quickly, and the golden retriever kept nodding.

"Not only did you step on someone, but you knocked over the lamp, and you might have walked out of the water.

If you really want to make such a fuss, in the eyes of the government, then you are not a killer, you are a thief!

The old gang in Pig's Head Lane had a killer when he was young, so this killer must have been in business for a long time, and it has been fine for so many years, which means that they are very smart and know what they can do and what they can't.

Learn to see the subtleties! ”

"Boss, I know ...... this way" The dark horse looked embarrassed, and the golden retriever answered seamlessly: "It's too difficult to learn!" Can't learn, boss! ”

"Then don't worry, I ate a little too much just now, eliminate food, and let's take a shortcut back after shopping."

Li Sangrou walked forward with her hands behind her back.

The two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and then they began to stare widely, looking at the lanterns and the excitement.

Crossing the Longjin Bridge along the Royal Street, Li Sangrou looked sideways at the black alley behind the Lingguan Street, and asked, "Does this alley have a name?" ”

"Yes, it's called Pear Blossom Lane." The Golden Retriever replied very quickly.

"Can you take a shortcut from here?" Li Sangrou said, walking diagonally towards Pear Blossom Lane.

"Yes!" The golden retriever responded happily, rushed to the front of Li Sangrou in a few steps, and plunged into the dark Pear Blossom Alley.
