Chapter 223: Calm (Subscription Requested)
"The old lady doesn't need to panic!"
The old man and the old god were there, ignoring the dissatisfied looks of the people in the room, and said leisurely: "This is what the emperor meant!" ”
What, what the eldest lord did this time was instructed by the emperor?
"Boss, don't bluff people!"
Jia Mu's heart suddenly relaxed, and she said coldly: "How could the emperor let you do such a thing?" ”
"Not long ago, dozens of felons detained in Shuntianfu Prison committed suicide en masse on the day of the Chung Yeung Festival......"
The eldest lord didn't hide it, and directly explained the reason why he became the Shuntian Mansion, and finally said: "With this ability and motivation, how many people are there in the capital?" ”
Shock!
Including Jia's mother, the people in the house were all shocked when they heard this secret.
This is the embodiment of the top power struggle in the imperial court, and the people who have never seen or even heard of it are so shocked that their hearts fluctuate and they can't help themselves.
Mother Jia sighed, and the reaction of her juniors made her feel disappointed and lost.
Rongguo Mansion has been far away from the inner circle of power in the capital for too long.
It's just that......
"Boss, even if this is what the emperor meant, but you have also offended Prince Zhongshun fiercely, how about he deliberately targeting Rongguo Mansion?"
Jia Mu is quite calm and has seen the world, so she quickly cleaned up her mood and expressed her worries.
Jia Zheng and the others' hearts sank violently, and they couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, even if it is the intention of His Majesty the Emperor, this time it is too impulsive!" ”
"That's it, no matter what the other party says, he is a dignified prince, even if the relationship with the emperor is bad, it is still easy to deal with us, or I will go back and ask the second brother to help me talk about peace with one or two?"
Mrs. Wang also followed with a wave of presence, which seemed to be well-intentioned but actually showed off her proposal.
"Brother and sister, don't bother, Wang Ziteng doesn't have the strength to meddle in the disputes between the royal family!"
The eldest lord smiled lightly and teased unceremoniously.
"Hmph, my second brother is a dignified envoy of the Jingying Festival, even if he is the Prince of Zhongshun, he has to give some face!"
Mrs. Wang sneered and shot back, and said arrogantly: "I believe that the second brother will come forward, and Prince Zhongshun will always have some scruples!" ”
"Tsk, if Wang Ziteng really dares to come forward, then he can basically only stop at the position of Jingying Jiedu!"
The eldest man chuckled, too lazy to continue to talk nonsense with the palace, and saw Jia Mu looking at him with a serious face, and the hand on the armrest was lightly forced, and in the surprised eyes of everyone, he broke off two pieces of wood, and shook his hands hard.
After two muffled sounds, the handrail wood in his hand turned into a pile of sawdust and fell to the ground.
The people in the room were all shocked by the old man's murderous methods, and they were all stunned for a while, and they didn't know what the big master meant?
"The old lady can rest assured that with my current martial arts, Prince Zhongshun will not dare to fight the idea of the palace before I am sure that I will be killed!"
When he said this, the eldest lord was full of confidence, as if this was what happened.
"Boss, have you practiced the family heirloom martial arts?"
Mother Jia's eyes flashed, and she spoke earnestly: "If that's the case, you really don't have to worry about the pressure of Prince Zhongshun!" ”
"Almost!"
The eldest man smiled lightly, without admitting or denying it, but Jia Mu thought that he had acquiesced, and suddenly showed an inexplicable complicated look on his face.
"Okay, well, so the old woman will be completely relieved!"
Mother Jia's face was full of joy, and she nodded again and again and said yes, and sure enough, she didn't mention the matter of the eldest master again, as if he hadn't appeared at all.
……
The eldest lord strongly scolded each other with a wave of Prince Zhongshun, and the Prince of Zhongshun was not embarrassed, and the momentum was great for a while.
Even the prestige of the Shuntian Mansion seems to have increased.
In such a situation, in the eyes of outsiders, the eldest lord will definitely have some violent actions, and it is even likely to target another big man in the clan, Yizhong County King.
The reason is very simple, the eldest lord has a bit of today's henchman's posture, and he was strong and tough against Prince Zhongshun before, if you want to say that there is no secret instruction today, a fool will not believe it!
It's a pity that they all guessed wrong, and after the big man took a hand, he suddenly fell silent.
As a result, the guys who wanted to watch the excitement were quite dissatisfied, which was completely contrary to what they had in mind.
It's just that the eldest lord has no intention of cooperating at all, and he doesn't continue to be arrogant and domineering, but returns to calm.
Every day is to preside over the normal operation of the Shuntian Mansion, as long as it is roughly passable.
This is also the case, as time goes by, new things in the capital appear one after another, and soon the history of the majesty of the old man is forgotten, and only some guys will come out and talk about it when they are drunk and chatting about eating cows.
It's just that no one is aware that the Shuntian Mansion's control over the entire Jingcheng is being strengthened little by little.
There is no vigorous big operation, it is all trivial things, and the number of thieves and thieves arrested is average, but for some reason, the overall security of the capital is slowly improving.
The eldest lord did not imagine that he was diligent in official duties, and every day he went to the court on time to sit in the office, and if there was no special matter when he went to the office, he would also go home on time to rest.
According to the old man, the work is inexhaustible, he is really not interested in dealing with those trivial things that involve entanglements of interests, and he is definitely not stiff when he can be the shopkeeper, and he will disperse the power in his hands.
That's right, after the eldest lord became the prince of Shuntian Mansion, he lived in another courtyard for most of the time, and only Xiu Mu and a few others would return to the east courtyard of Rongfu to stay for a few nights, which was also Jia's mother's request.
The reason is very strong, I don't want outsiders to think that there is internal turmoil in Rongfu, maybe some guys who can't see the situation clearly want to attack Rongfu.
Hehe......
The eldest lord does not deny this possibility, but he is more worried about Jia Zheng's career.
Not long after the eldest lord slashed the face of Prince Zhongshun, the second political elder also returned to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to sit on the cold bench, and it was funny to see his happy appearance, but the eldest lord did not have the idea of making fun of him.
It's just a pity that waste dim sum is waste dim sum, there is a good card but it is played poorly, and the road to promotion is still far away.
Yuan Chun, who was pinned on high hopes, was still working as a female official at Concubine Zhen Gui at this time, and there was still about half a year before the implementation of the plan, and the house and the second room spent 50,000 taels of silver in just half a year for Yuan Chun's expenses in the palace, which is not too crazy.
Ya's mere female official in the palace of a noble concubine has the courage to sprinkle gold and silver in the inner palace, which is simply slapping those concubines with insufficient family background.
The family in the second room is willing to spend a huge price on Yuan Chun, and the eldest lord will not directly oppose it, but it is impossible to want the big house to pay for it.
"How can the eldest brother be like this, in the future, Yuanchun will be the concubine, won't the eldest brother get benefits!"
In the matter of asking for silver for Yuanchun's activities, Jia Zheng was quite active, and when he saw that the big house family didn't want to give out the money, he was immediately dissatisfied and found the eldest master to question directly.
"Second brother, about Yuanchun, I'll tell you about it!"
The eldest lord smiled and said: "If Yuanchun can successfully seal the concubine, Dafang and I will not ask her for the slightest benefit, and Dafang will not spend money on her, so it will be done!" ”
"Big brother, how can you say that?"
Jia Zheng was stunned at first, and then dissatisfied; "Rongguo Mansion is a whole, and when Yuan Chun ascends to the throne, it will be beneficial to naturally the entire mansion will benefit!"
"If I say I don't want the slightest benefit, I won't ask for it!"
The eldest lord said categorically: "At that time, the second room has the support of Yuanchun, and there is no need to continue to nest in the house, and after you move out, the benefits of Yuanchun will naturally be enjoyed by your second room!" ”
"Big brother, you still want to drive me away!"
Jia Zheng looked unhappy and said sadly: "Big brother, don't worry, when Yuanchun has Chinese New Year's Eve, I will move out of the mansion, and I will not touch the light in the mansion again!" ”
Lying on the grass!
Seeing the second political brother with a look like a wounded little beast, the eldest master had an urge to scold.
Now that the raiders of Rongguo Mansion and the family members are Lian Er, it is not suitable for you to live in the mansion with a second-room uncle, not to mention how many small actions your daughter-in-law Mrs. Wang has made?
Since you think like this, the eldest master won't say anything, just wait for the results of Yuanchun to come out, but I just hope that the second child won't put the responsibility on the eldest lord at that time.
Speaking of Mrs. Wang, this is really a strange person, and the greed in the eyes of losing money exists.
is no longer in charge, and from time to time I will use Jia's mother's relationship to make trouble, not to mention, this person has done a lot of illegal and undisciplined things in private.
The work of putting money in printing and taking on lawsuits, I really don't want to do it too hotly.
The eldest lord secretly found out many of her problems before, and during the period of the official family of Rongfu, he embezzled a huge public treasury, and he didn't know how to restrain it.
The most excessive thing is that this person doesn't know what dark thoughts he has, since he lost his stewardship, he even faked Lian Er's name sticker and took it out to show off, and the officials next to him either looked at the Rongguo Mansion or the Xungui Group, but also gave some face, so that Mrs. Wang used this means to make a lot of black-hearted silver.
It's ridiculous, Mrs. Wang thinks she is doing it secretly, but she doesn't know how rough her methods are, and many maids and women in the house have clear hearts, but they don't have the courage to report it.
The eldest man is angry and funny, and Mrs. Wang is really "gloomy", not only throwing all the charges to Lian Er and Wang Xifeng, but also making a lot of money.
It's just that she really thinks that such a rudimentary method can succeed, it is simply impossible.
As for why the eldest lord is eyeing Mrs. Wang, there is no other reason, that is, when the official of the Shuntian Mansion was on patrol, he saved a family that was almost forced to death by Yin Zi Qian, and the bully who came forward to force Yin Zi Qian was the son of Mrs. Wang's right-hand man!
