Chapter Two Hundred and Nine: The Western Land
She smiled at Qu Jing and asked, "Didn't the master hear it?" How to ask the concubine again? β
"Daddy!" Another bang.
"Dad, Dad, Dad......" was heard several times in a row, and Qu Xinghui seemed to be addicted.
"Brother Hui...... Brother Hui can speak, this ...... What's going on? Come on, Brother Hui, shout dad again! β
"Daddy!"
"One more word!"
"Daddy, beard, prick!"
"Hahaha...... My son can speak, haha, don't let Lao Tzu go to the West now, even if Lao Tzu takes off this official robe and goes back to his hometown to plant crops, Lao Tzu is willing! β
Qu Jing's laughter almost shook the snow off the roof.
"Now you can tell me, what the hell is going on?"
Xie Yan looked at Song Xiaochi with a smile and asked slowly.
"Guess?" Song Xiaochi is also smiling, she is in a good mood, and her good mood has been maintained since Qu Xinghui said the first word, and it has reached its peak today.
"Is it that the reinforcing pill has been successfully refined?" Xie Yan guessed it, but he was still a little surprised.
"Miss Liu sent the Leaves of Ximu over so quickly? You also successfully refined the Restoration Pill in such a short period of time, and then cured Brother Hui so quickly, you really didn't waste any time! β
After listening to Xie Yan's exclamation, Song Xiaochi pursed his lips and smiled: "If it's not like this, how can I surprise you?"
"Yes, what a big surprise, Ah Chi, my father-in-law wants to thank you well, say quickly, what do you want, as long as your father-in-law can do it, I will definitely satisfy you!"
Qu Jing also knew what happened from Jiang and Qu Wenshu at this time, so he said to Song Xiaochi with a smile.
"Father-in-law, Brother Hui is also my younger brother, I can cure Brother Hui, I don't know how happy I am, I don't need my father's thanks." Song Xiaochi said with a smile.
"Hey......" Qu Jing shook his head, "If you want to give, you have to give, if you can't think of it now, save it first, when you think of it, tell your father-in-law, this matter is valid for life, even if your father-in-law dies of old age, Brother Hui will remember it." β
"Father-in-law......"
"Okay, okay, it's my father-in-law who is so happy, his mouth is bald, and he said the wrong thing, anyway, that's what it means, you just need to understand it in your heart."
Qu Jing was in a good mood, and after finishing speaking, he turned his head to tease Qu Xinghui to speak, Qu Xinghui's little person seemed to be able to sense his father's happiness, a pair of big eyes and a crooked smile, and he said word by word with a pair of big eyes.
It wasn't until he had passed this that Jiang asked, "Master, you just said you were going to the West, what's going on?"
Originally, Qu Jing was still depressed when he mentioned this, but now because of the great joy of Qu Xinghui speaking in front of him, Qu Jing should not take this matter seriously.
"That's the case, this morning there was a holy decree to the guard, saying that Fan Chengshao, the commander of the Yunzhou Mansion guard, was killed by a group of horse thieves on the way to Shacheng to inspect, and the second-class member of the dignified house, or a military attachΓ©, was killed by a group of thieves, Fan Chengshao's killing was a loss for the imperial court, and it made the imperial court lose face, so ......"
"So the Holy Majesty ordered you to be the commander of the Yunzhou Mansion Guard?"
Jiang interrupted Qu Jing's words and asked.
Qu Jing nodded, "Gonggong Qiu sent by the Holy Lord told me privately that since Fan Chengshao's death, the Holy Lord has almost gone through all the military attaches above the fourth rank in his heart, and also invited Dingguo Gong, An Dinghou, Meng Shoufu, Guan Cifu, and several cabinet ministers to discuss who should be the commander of the Yunzhou Mansion Guard, Dingguo Gong, An Dinghou, Meng Yudi, and Guan Xinlu all recommended candidates, but four people and four candidates, only Shang Ruchun recommended me. β
"Shang Ruchun? Is it the old Shangge who entered the cabinet in Ningkang in the nineteenth year? Jiang asked.
Qu Jing nodded, "Shang Ruchun is the heir of the first year of Ningkang, he was raised by the saint, first in the Hanlin Academy, then in the sixth department, and then transferred to the locality, from the county order to the prefect to the governor, and now he is the secretary of the Ministry of Works, in fact, the saint wants to install him in the ministry, but it is just ......"
It's just that today's first assistant Meng Yudi is sitting steadily in the seat of the Ministry of Officials, even if it is Emperor Ning Kang, he can't move at will for no reason, Meng Yudi is an old minister of the two dynasties, and there are countless old friends in the court, so Emperor Ning Kangdi can only retreat to the second, and first arrange Shang Ruchun to the position of the Ministry of Works.
Even the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Ning Kangdi took a lot of trouble to let Shang Ruchun sit in it.
Jiang said: "It's just that the old Shang Ge recommended you to go to Yunzhou Mansion, even if it is in line with the emperor's wishes, if the emperor wants to appoint him directly, there should be a lot of resistance."
Qu Jing smiled meaningfully, "Listening to what Gonggong Qiu meant, in the end, Duke Dingguo also agreed with the emperor's wishes."
"Dingguo Gong? Who was he recommending? Jiang asked.
"Pyeongchang Bo Zhu Ding." Qu Jing said, "Zhu Ding is now the commander of the Duwei Office, and if he is transferred to the command of the Yunzhou Mansion Guard, he will be promoted to three levels in a row. β
Jiang said: "How can a foreign official be compared with a Beijing official."
Qu Jing shook his head and said: "Ordinary foreign officials naturally can't be compared with Beijing officials, but Yunzhou Mansion is different, not to mention that although Shacheng has a guard, there has never been a commander, and the commander of the Yunzhou Mansion Guard has always been the commander of the Shacheng Guard, which means that one person is in charge of two guards, and more importantly, about Yunzhou Mansion and Shacheng, do you know what is more than other places?"
Jiang Shi thought for a while, and said angrily: "It's more dangerous!"
Unexpectedly, Qu Jing nodded in agreement, "Well, it is true that there are many dangers, bandits are rampant, there are frequent frictions on the border, small wars are continuous, and big wars will come every few years, but what coexists with danger is merit, and only when there is a battle can you make meritorious service, what Pingchang Bo values should be the position of the commander of the Duwei, and even go one step further, I am afraid that the military department Shangshu has also thought about it, and even mention the title again, these ideas cannot be achieved in Yudu." β
Jiang Shi suddenly looked at Xie Yan, "Ah Yan, I remember that Uncle Pingchang has a good relationship with the prince?" β
Xie Yan nodded, "They have played since they were children, and their friendship is indeed good." β
"Then who is the prince recommending this time?" Jiang asked Qu Jing.
Qu Jing said: "In order to avoid suspicion, the prince did not recommend candidates this time."
Jiang didn't understand at first, could it be that King Qian avoided suspicion because of his brother-in-law relationship with Qu Jing, and what he originally wanted to recommend was also Qu Jing?
But speaking of which, the ministers in this court have nothing to do with whom, and if so, no one can speak out.
As soon as Qu Jing saw Jiang's expression, he knew that she had misunderstood, and said: "This time, Ah Yan will also go to the West with him and let Shacheng command the affairs, which is directly decided by the saint, without consulting the cabinet and other courtiers."
