Nie Frame has made a book, and the people of the entire Ministry of Industry and Yamen are overjoyed, and they are finally looking forward to such a day.

However, Nie Jian knew that because of his uncle, the emperor should not really want to promote him to be a scholar.

The emperor looked at Nie Frame, who was thankful below, and said, "In the future, you must be more diligent and live up to your Nie family's loyalty and goodness for generations." ”

"Thank you for the grace of the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Nie Frame knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and then exited the imperial study first.

Coming out of the imperial study, Nie Jian saw Qin Huaijin who had just arrived outside the door.

"Lord Qin." Nie Frame clenched his fists.

Qin Huaijin returned the salute and did not say congratulations.

Nie Jian knew that his uncle's father told him that when the emperor hesitated about the position of Shangshu, it was Qin Huaijin who recommended him.

"I also want to thank Lord Qin." Nie Frame didn't say much, but Qin Huaijin would understand.

Qin Huaijin shook his head: "Lord Nie doesn't need to thank me, as a member of the Cabinet Council, it is also my duty to find talented people for the emperor." "The affairs of the court cannot be favoritism, the law is there, the rules are there, and the key to the long-term stability of the court is the residence of the capable. Therefore, Nie Frame's ability to sit in the position of Shangshu is his own struggle, and it has nothing to do with him.

Zhao Xin came to the door to pass Qin Huaijin, Qin Huaijin went in first, Nie Jian looked at Qin Huaijin thoughtfully.

Nie Yuanhuai also entered the palace at this time, and seeing that Nie Frame happened to be there, he asked, "What are you looking at?" Shane over? ”

Nie Frame nodded: "Well, uncle, I suddenly understood what you meant." ”

Nie Yuanhuai raised his eyebrows: "What did I say?" Which sentence are you referring to? He can usually say it, but he doesn't know which sentence it is.

Nie Jian said slowly: "The eldest uncle said that among the young courtiers of this generation, Qin Huaijin is the first. ”

Nie Yuanhuai did say such things, and he also knew Nie Yuan's expectations, he entered the court to become an official in order to make a career, and he was older than Qin Huaijin, but now Qin Huaijin is young and promising, not to mention the younger generation, these old guys are not as bold and capable as others.

A few days later, Qin Huaijin succeeded Qian Xia as the head of the household, and the holy decree was announced to the world.

Everything is so logical, even if many courtiers are angry, but there is no way, even now, Qin Huaijin is considered a "yellow-haired boy" in the court at this age, and the result is that people are powerful. Many people think that the emperor will be promoted repeatedly after listening to Qin Huaijin's slander, but no matter what comes out, they all have to say that Qin Huaijin's errands are dressed up beautifully, and they are so impeccable.

"People are terrible, don't be sour with our old guys!" Nie Yuanhuai watched these ministers say those sour words in front of the hall early in the morning, and they didn't make a sound at the critical moments one by one, and at this time, the thieves who were horning one by one could speak!

If everyone is not convinced, there is no way, so they can only sour behind their backs. As soon as Qin Huaijin came here, everyone shut up.

With a few whips, the ministers entered the main hall in turn, Qin Huaijin looked around and noticed that the official Shangshu was staring at him.

Kou Qin, the secretary of the ministry, is also the biological father of Xin Chang in the palace now, Xin Chang heard that he was not in agreement with the queen when he entered the palace, and he heard that the queen wanted to marry Qin Huaijin, and it was naturally unpleasant to see Qin Huaijin at this time.

Qin Huaijin himself didn't know about marrying a family, and he didn't understand why Kou Qin looked at him as if he was going to eat people.

As soon as the emperor arrived here, after the ministers finished the big ceremony, the Yushitai directly went to the recital, and directly participated in Qin Huaijin's collusion with the harem, intending to shake the country.

Qin Huaijin, who was involved in such a crime, was also a little blindsided, when did he collude with the harem?

The emperor was also a little confused, so he asked Yu Shitai: "How did you collude with the harem?" ”

Yu Shitai is actually grasping that bit of groundlessness, now everyone knows that the queen wants to marry the Qin family, Qin Huaijin is capable, and he disdains to form a party, and he doesn't even have the crisis of his relatives, not to mention the queen, these ministers all feel that the Qin family is too suitable for marriage. It's just because of that

At this time, Su Beiyuan stood up directly and said: "Your Majesty, there is no real evidence for this Yushitai to participate in the performance now, only relying on empty grounds, then in the future, this court can let the people live and work in peace and contentment only by relying on empty grounds, and it can also rely on these empty sources to frame Zhongliang!" ”

The Yushitai side is all in a hurry, and they really have no real evidence, but as the discipline department of the imperial court, they have to report truthfully even if there is a little wind and waves, so even if Su Beiyuan makes sarcastic remarks, they still have straight waists.

Qin Huaijin stepped forward at this time: "Weichen did not collude with the harem. "I've been busy lately and I'm about to ascend to heaven, could it be that he can still come out of his body and collude with the harem to move the country? Now the Imperial Historical Observatory is becoming more and more spiritual, but the department of the Imperial Historical Observatory must exist, the emperor needs his subordinates to check and balance each other, who is too prominent, that is, it is not far from death, and having a Imperial Historical Observatory in the middle and the mud is also a good cycle.

The emperor naturally knew that Qin Huaijin was innocent, but now the queen did want to win over Qin Huaijin. Yushitai is not groundless, even he heard that the queen has been secretly combining eight characters these days, so he wants to see if the prince and the daughter of the Qin family are auspicious.

"It's all nothing, and I don't need to say it again!" The emperor said directly, he actually has no opinion on the marriage between the East Palace and the Qin family, but now that the prince is still young, the queen is a little too anxious.

The ministers saw that the emperor had spoken, and they didn't dare to say more, and it was the emperor's decision on who the prince would marry, but the ministers also had experience in the selection of the previous palace. There are no daughters of the right age in the family to be sent to the harem to be the imperial concubine, but they have granddaughters and granddaughters of the right age, who will marry the prince in the future, and when the prince ascends the throne, she will also be the imperial concubine, although the process is different, but the result is the same. If the daughter of the Qin family is given to the crown prince, then their granddaughter and granddaughter can only be regarded as concubines, and they will fight for such an opportunity, and strive to extinguish this possibility before Qin Huaijin's daughter becomes the crown princess!

In the matter of fighting for power and squeezing Qin Huaijin, even the courtiers who usually pinch each other can quickly reach an agreement.

Qin Huaijin actually really doesn't have any idea about the position of the crown princess of the East Palace, his daughter is still young, and now the prince looks quite clever and cute, but who knows if the prince will be inferior in the future? Will you grow up stupid? You can't marry your daughter so hastily.

After the early court, Qin Huaijin went home and told Shen Xiaoyu about the affairs of the court, which made Shen Xiaoyu a little vigilant.

"Then what does the emperor think? You don't really think that our family covets the position of the prince, right? Shen Xiaoyu was still a little worried after speaking: "Does our daughter look up to the prince?" ”

"Who's to say it isn't!" Qin Huaijin also said the same, and when he finished speaking, the two looked at each other for a while, were silent for a while, and then laughed.

The prince was told by them as if it was not good, it was just a matter of marriage, and the two still wanted to listen to the child's own opinion, and everything would be said when the child was older, as for the palace, how to love.

As soon as Qin Huaijin became the head of the household department, he was a little more relaxed, most of the time he was at home, and he only went to the yamen to deal with affairs at a fixed time.

"Why did you become a shopkeeper as soon as you became a scholar?" Shen Xiaoyu said, wouldn't this be the beginning of corruption?

Qin Huaijin smiled bitterly: "If you really want to be corrupt, there are still many opportunities before, but now that I have become a scholar, how many people's eyes are staring, but whenever I pick up a classmate from the household courtyard, it is estimated that there will be people who participate in my use of power for personal gain!" ”

"Then why don't you go to the Yamen?" Shen Xiaoyu said: "You don't go like this, aren't you afraid that others will criticize you?" ”

Qin Huaijin was speechless: "I just want to go, but I can't go, now all the yamen want some money, and they all come to me, before Lord Qian relied on his old age to beat people out directly, and I can't do this now." "If he is in the yamen, there will be people who want to take shortcuts and not go through the process.

Shen Xiaoyu naturally didn't know as much about being an official as Qin Huaijin, so he smiled: "This is quite good, and I have more time at home." ”

Now that the children are about to be five years old, and they are about to be educated, the husband who taught Qin Qingyue before continued to teach the two little ones, and Shen Xiaoyu felt that the life in this family was a lot more peaceful.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, the weather was getting cooler, and when Shen Xiaoyu thought that the year was about to pass, Liaoyang City sent a message, saying that Master Qin had flashed his waist and had been in bed for many days.

When Qin Huaijin heard this, he said, "When did it happen, why did you send the letter?" ”

The messenger said, "The lord won't let us come, but there is no competent person in Liaoyang City to serve, and it has been almost two months, and we have also secretly come to deliver the letter." ”

Shen Xiaoyu said: "Then take your father to Kyoto City to recuperate, and let Gu Siyan give your father a look." "People are old, and they definitely don't like it when they are injured, they have been bedridden for two months, and they don't even let people tell them.

Qin Huaijin said: "Dad probably doesn't want us to know. ”

"It's all my fault, if I hadn't been angry with my father, my father wouldn't have left." Shen Xiaoyu said that at the beginning, Father Shen always picked on her thorns, so that she was always at odds with Master Qin, but now that she thinks about it, she is really too ignorant, otherwise she wouldn't be in bed and wouldn't tell them.

Qin Huaijin shook his head: "It's not your fault, it's all because I didn't take care of both sides." "His father is like this now, he must be disappointed in everyone. The son is not filial, the daughter-in-law is not satisfied, and the wife is indifferent, so he will leave.

Shen Xiaoyu hurriedly asked the red dates to prepare, and then said to Qin Huaijin: "I'll pick it up in person, otherwise the old man will definitely not want to come." "Qin Huaijin is not easy to leave Kyoto City, so she will handle this matter.
