Xia Yanqing didn't go with them in the end, and in the scattered sight of the subordinates of the county king's mansion and a few ladies who were walking late, she boarded the carriage by herself and left alone.

After the carriage started, Xia Yanqing glanced back at the backyard of the Junwang Mansion. The carved railings and green tiles are not the slightest brilliance and prosperity in her eyes.

She said this to Xia Yanrong and the others, not only to warn and shield them, but also to let the servants of the palace hear what she said and pass it on to the county lord of Zhirong.

With her attitude at the moment, I think that no one will post to her in similar activities in the future.

It's safer to stay away from villains than to be with them.

Just as Xia Yanqing hoped, not long after she left, a mother-in-law reported her words to Xia Ruiqing and the others at the second gate to the county lord of Zhirong.

In the study of King Chengjun, the county lord of Zhirong was a little annoyed: "These words are for me, right?" This Xia family is too ignorant, but she is just a village girl, she can be treated like this, not only is she not grateful, but she also uses the trick of killing chickens and monkeys in our house, who does she think she is! ”

At the age of 30, King Chengjun is handsome and gentle, with an elegant temperament, and has the demeanor of a literati.

He was not as angry as the eldest daughter, but only said in a deep voice: "This woman is really not ordinary, it seems that she has become wary of today's events, and her father still underestimates her." ”

The county lord of Zhirong took care of the summer banquet at the chrysanthemum banquet and praised it, but he didn't think so in his heart. If it weren't for her father's great cause, how could she be so courteous to a country girl?

She was unwilling, "Father, Xia Ke is just a branch abandoned by the Xia family, even if he can make the official bigger, the foundation is too shallow." Is it necessary for us to woo him like this? ”

"You don't understand that." King Chengjun tapped Zhirong with his finger before continuing, "Xia Ke is not comparable to any four-rank official. I heard that his political performance was mediocre when he first joined the company, but in recent years, he has shown his edge. According to investigation, many difficult files in Dali Temple, as long as they are given to Xia Ke for a look, only once, the crux of the problem can be found immediately. It's not just hard work, it's his keen sense of insight. Such a person must not be taken lightly. ”

King Chengjun is instructing his daughter.

Zhirong is his first child, although she is a daughter, but compared with the eldest son and the second son of the grandson, Zhirong is the smartest, ambitious, and courageous, not inferior to the outstanding sons of other families.

After all these years of teaching, Zhirong really lived up to his expectations and helped him a lot.

If he intervenes in many things, it will definitely attract the attention of many people, but it is much simpler for Zhirong to do it for him.

Nowadays, everyone says that although King Chengjun is obsessed with poetry, books and songs, he has a good daughter who can manage everything in the palace for him, so that the prestige of Chengjun Wangfu can be raised to a higher level.

And Zhirong's chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in recent years has successfully become close friends with a woman who is very optimistic about the future. When the husbands and families of these women ascend to high positions, it is easier to persuade them from the perspective of women, so that these people can follow him and find a career from the dragon.

Zhirong heard that King Chengjun had such a high evaluation of Xia Ke, and frowned even more, "Hasn't my father tried many times before, this Xia Ke is not a group or a party, is it difficult to win over?" In this case, then use the power of his father's hand to pull him off the horse and let him never die. ”

King Chengjun shook his head with a smile and said, "The Xia family is not only Xia Ke, Xia Ke also has two sons. ”

Xia Ke's son?

Zhirong listened carefully, what she knew was that Xia Ke's two sons were not like the children of other official eunuchs, either following the rules, or being talented, or stubborn.

When people mention Xia Ke's two sons, they usually have mixed reviews.

But no matter which of these two people is, they are not outstanding characters, so they have not received Zhirong's attention.

Chengjun Wang's words at this time, it seems that these two people still hide some inside information that is not known to the public.

King Chengjun continued: "Yunshan Academy is well-known in the capital and even in the world. Xia Zixi was young and had a place in the academy. In addition, he is wise and hearty, over the years, many students have been admitted to the university, and they still maintain a relationship with Xia Zixi as a teacher and friend. This kind of network, if Xia Ke is framed, as long as there is a trace of suspicion, even if there is no need for conclusive evidence, it can still make the main envoy anxious. ”

King Chengjun paused and sighed: "We can't bear this kind of questioning, even if we chase the wind and shadows." ”

King Chengjun and the current Emperor Qingyuan are cousins.

King Chengjun's father, King Cheng, was the youngest son of the emperor of that generation, and was said to be the emperor's preferred heir to the throne.

It's just that the first emperor used conspiracy to ascend the throne and seize the world that should have belonged to King Cheng.

Of course, this is all what King Cheng thinks.

King Cheng has a soft personality and acts forward-looking. Throughout his life, when he just talks to his son, he will remember how orthodox and noble his bloodline is, and how unjustifiable the throne of Emperor Qingyuan is.

It is probably because of King Cheng's indecisive character that he never showed his desire for the throne in front of outsiders, so that King Cheng and King Cheng's mansion were preserved.

Since he was a young man, King Chengjun has been exposed to it and thinks that the great rivers and mountains of the Celestial Empire should have belonged to his father and belonged to him.

It was also from a young age that he was ambitious, using celebrities as a cover, making friends with poets and scholars, and maintaining a better reputation and momentum than ever in the many county kings' mansions.

In private, King Chengjun is actively planning and cultivating wings, trying to take back the country that belonged to his father with one blow when the time is ripe.

It's just that the Celestial Empire was governed like an iron bucket in the hands of the first emperor, and Emperor Qingyuan was as shrewd as his father and as diligent in political affairs, which made King Chengjun feel difficult, for fear that if he was not careful, Emperor Qingyuan would detect the clues, not only fell short, but lost the lives of hundreds of people in the mansion.

After more than ten years of careful management, he still can't infiltrate his own power into important positions.

It wasn't until his daughter showed that she was more talented than a man that he remembered that his daughter would take the lead and win over important ministers of the court or future important ministers by befriending female dependents.

Of course, the county lord of Zhirong understood what it meant that the king of Chengjun couldn't afford it.

She frowned, if Xia Zixi really had this kind of connections and influence, the Xia family's father and son would not be able to move easily.

King Chengjun continued: "There is also Xia Ke's second son, Xia Zitang, who has been criticized by many civil official families, saying that he is not doing his job properly and is not successful. Xia Zitang left the school at a young age, and entered the Soldiers and Horses Division under the guidance of his classmate Wei Guogong's young son. ”

"It's Xia Ke, the son of Xia Ke, who has spent seven years from a small soldier who is not in the stream, to be promoted all the way, and now he is a six-rank captain. Xia Zitang is a righteous person and attaches great importance to righteousness, it is said that Xia Zitang's friends have a lifelong friendship with him. ”
