Chapter 238: The Genus of Shangshu
Speaking of this, Concubine Qin's heart was in turmoil, and her palms were drenched in cold sweat without knowing it.
She was scared.
Boundless fear almost overwhelmed her.
If Lian Ji gave birth to a son, then how should her daughter, who has become a prince, deal with herself?
Will it be abandoned?
What happens when you are abandoned?
It took almost no thought for Concubine Qin to know that if she could not keep the crown prince, then her poor daughter would only become a victim of the royal family.
After hearing Concubine Qin's voice, Emperor Jin An looked back at her, taking her fear into his eyes.
And he can only be silent.
Then she mentioned the crown prince, and Emperor Jin An looked at it.
He was a little curious about what the prince would think now.
Will it ...... Self-defeating?
Thinking about it, Emperor Jin Anhuang's eyes became darker and darker, making people dare not look at him.
On the contrary, Qi Changrong was fearless and fearless, and greeted him calmly, without the slightest fear and worry in his eyes, and he was still as calm as ever.
She didn't even care about the news of Lianji's pregnancy. It seems that a fetus still in the womb does not think that it can affect her position.
Such a bearing is something that very people can have.
After figuring it out, Emperor Jin An's mind suddenly opened up, and the Lingtai was clear, and after that, no matter who toasted, he politely refused.
The dinner lasted more than half an hour.
Until everyone's cheeks turned red from drinking, Emperor Jin An looked around and suddenly said, "While all the courtiers are here today, I have something to announce." β
"Your Majesty, please speak." Jiang Bowen's long sleeves were lightly raised, although he drank wine, his demeanor still existed.
"Since it is a happy event, if Your Majesty speaks, it can also make everyone happy." Yang Yishu followed closely and did not want to fall behind.
Immediately, Emperor Jin An seemed to be very pleased, and opened his mouth to call a person's name.
"Where's Pei Ji?"
Hearing this, Pei Ji, who was sitting at the end of the banquet and was drunk, had not yet reacted.
In his heart, he is the most inconspicuous person at the New Year's banquet, eating and drinking, he is a crowd.
Therefore, he was especially serious when eating and drinking.
As soon as I was serious, I accidentally drank too much.
Seeing that no one answered, Emperor Jin An frowned and called again: "Where is Pei Ji?" β
This time, half of the eyes fell on someone who was dazed.
The eunuch behind him couldn't bear the pressure, and secretly whispered in Pei Ji's ear: "Master Pei, Your Majesty called you." β
Hearing the words His Majesty, Pei Ji woke up halfway.
finally sobered up for two minutes, and as soon as he raised his eyes, he faced a lot of scrutiny, and the deep meaning in his eyes made his other half of the wine also wake up.
At that moment, he hurriedly got up and went out of the ranks, knelt down straight with a 'plop', and kowtowed to Emperor Jin An above: "The minister is here." β
"Pei Qing investigated the case with all his heart, and he was very meritorious, and I was very relieved."
Until these words came out, everyone's eyes became strange.
It is precisely because Pei Ji investigated the case so hard that he turned over some old sesame seeds and rotten grains, that His Majesty had to issue an 'edict of guilt' to calm down the people's grievances and force the emperor of the current dynasty to this role.
Not only did the courtiers have such thoughts, but even Pei Ji was terrified.
When he first investigated the case, he completely relied on a brute spirit to insist, and there was no reward or punishment afterwards, and he didn't know what he was afraid of until everything settled.
Now that His Majesty mentioned this matter in public, he could only prostrate himself on the ground, anxiously waiting for the announcement from above.
Heaven or hell, right now.
Emperor Jin An said: "Pei Ji not only has the merit of investigating the case, but also has made great contributions to the governance of Jianzhou, I have been thinking about Pei Qing to be a few officials, but now I think about it, since Pei Qing was the assassin of Jianzhou before, and the governance of Jianzhou is in good order, and now when he returns to Beijing, he should not be subservient." β
As soon as these words came out, everyone's appetite was raised.
Yang Yishu and Jiang Bowen, who were faintly aware of it, glanced at each other, and both saw the solemnity contained in them.
Everyone present, only Qi Changrong knew what would happen next.
Looking at the scene in front of her, a comfortable smile was hooked on the corner of her mouth.
Pei Ji does have real talent and learning, and he was intended to be the chief judge before, just to promote his position.
With this springboard, he will soar into the sky.
Whether she planted willows intentionally or unintentionally planted willows, her purpose finally achieved another one.
When he thought like this, the first Emperor Jin An continued:
"I remember that a few days ago, Pu Ting, the head of the household department, was sentenced to death for corruption, and the position of the head of the household department has been vacant so far, since Pei Qing's talent is outstanding, he was named the new head of the household department, and he is in charge of one of the six departments, I hope that Pei Qing will remember the lessons of the past and not live up to my expectations."
After Emperor Jin An finished speaking, everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Pei Ji.
From the former pity to envy.
After all, before today, who would have thought that a disaster that everyone avoided before would suddenly become a pie in the sky?
The explosiveness of this news is not inferior to the previous announcement that Lian Ji was pregnant with the ministers, and everyone was dizzy.
When the rest of the people regretted that they didn't dare to be the chief judge, Jiang Bowen suddenly lifted his eyelids and looked at a particularly quiet position tonight - the position of the prince.
It just so happened that Qi Changrong over there was also looking at him.
The moment the eyes of the two met, there were no sparks, no confrontation, and it was extremely bland.
After a while, Qi Changrong raised his glass to Jiang Bowen Yaoyao, and smiled extremely arrogantly, as if to say that this time she won.
Seeing this, Jiang Bowen looked away expressionlessly, lowered his eyes to hide the different colors.
It seems that this 'accident' is inseparable from the East Palace.
Similarly, seeing that the fat that was almost in his mouth was taken away, Yang Yishu hated it to death, but he had to smile hypocritically.
Emperor Jin Anhuang was very satisfied with his arrangement.
After finishing speaking, he saw Pei Jicheng kneeling at his feet, and reminded in a light voice in a good mood: "Pei Qing, it's time to kowtow and thank you." β
Hearing this, Pei Ji woke up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed and received-
"Thank you, Your Majesty, Weichen will live up to Your Majesty's entrustment."
Emperor Jin An smiled heartily, personally walked down to help Pei Ji get up, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Pei Shangshu, I believe in you." β
The word 'letter' made the courtiers' hearts churn.
Don't look at it as just a word, but it is a grace that many people cannot ask for in a lifetime.
Successfully solved a major matter of his confidants, Emperor Jin An was happy and drank a few more glasses, and even drank a lot with Pei Ji.
It's just that Pei Ji, who suddenly received the pie in the sky, drank to the end one after another, and he didn't see the slightest drunkenness.
When the banquet dispersed, the slightly drunk Emperor Jin An was supported by Concubine Qin's order to leave.
The rest of the officials also left one after another.
When everyone walked to the second palace gate, there were already many carriages waiting outside.
After a few brief greetings, they each got into the carriage.
After everyone, Yang Yishu strode out angrily, and was about to get in the car and go home, but he saw Jiang Bowen not far away who didn't seem to care, and he still had the heart to talk and laugh with the people around him.
When passing by Jiang Bowen's side, Yang Yishu slowed down, ignoring the presence of others, and sneered with an ugly face: "A position of Shangshu, the Taishi and I are fighting for life and death, and in the end, I even cheapened a little-known foreign official, which is a great shame!" β
Angry voices exploded in his ears, and the conversation between the two was interrupted.
Seeing this, Guanglu Temple Qing Zhong Guangyou looked embarrassed, and he didn't know what to do, so he stiffly greeted Yang Yishu: "Mrs. Yangββ"
"You go home, I have something important to discuss with the Taishi!" Yang Yishu didn't look at him, and said coldly.
Hearing this, Zhong Guangyou's face was blue and white, and it was ugly and tight.
If it were someone else, he would have already thrown his face and left.
But of the two in front of him, none of them he could afford to provoke.
Zhong Guangyou felt aggrieved, but he could only be aggrieved.
On the contrary, Jiang Bowen's face was as usual, and he was not angry at Yang Yishu's rude offense, and bowed slightly to the person in front of him: "You go first." β
After receiving the order, Zhong Guangyou was relieved, bowed goodbye to the two, and then turned around and left without hesitation.
He didn't want to be caught between those two powerful ministers.
Anything is wrong.
There were fewer and fewer people around, and the loneliness at the palace gate gradually appeared.
Staring at the person in front of him, Yang Yishu's tone was slightly cold: "For today's things, Taishi doesn't have anything to say?" β
Jiang Bowen looked back and looked at the brightly lit inner palace: "The skills are not as good as others, and I am willing to bow to the wind, what is there to say?" β
What he said was willing to bow down, but he didn't lose in the hands of Pei Ji.
Instead, he lost in the hands of Prince Changrong, who lived in the deep palace and grew in front of the palace.
In this battle, he lost completely.
However, Yang Yishu couldn't hear what he meant.
A good skill is not as good as others, and the broad-mindedness of the master is what I have seen in my life! Yang Yishu laughed angrily: "Even if you know this, why did the Taishi reject my words in the first place?" β
Jiang Bowen retracted his gaze, paused on Yang Yishu for a moment, and then shook his head: "The so-called peace is just Mrs. Yang's self-deception. β
"If you deceive yourself, how can you deceive your own officials?"
Jiang Bowen said slowly, but Yang Yishu could hear the disdain in his words.
It wasn't until this moment that Yang Yishu completely understood that this person had never regarded himself as an opponent.
Yes, let alone put it in the eyes.
Yang Yishu took a deep breath and said in a calm tone: "What does the master mean, is he looking down on me?" β
This time, Jiang Bowen didn't sell Guan Zi again, and said directly: "If Taifu is worthy, it will naturally be in the eyes of this official." β
If it is not worth it, it is useless in his eyes.
Compared with Yang Yishu, who can see through at a glance, what makes him even more jealous is the one in the East Palace.
A fifteen-year-old boy originally thought that he was not to worry about, but now he knows that he has become a big problem.
The words fell, and there were only two of them left at the palace gate.
Before the palace people opened their mouths to expel him, Jiang Bowen had already turned around and walked first, leaving Yang Yishu alone to curse angrily at the empty night.
The scolding spread far away along the long alley until it reached Jiang Bowen's ears.
Tonight's Mrs. Yang is especially graceless.
