After the end of the early dynasty, Mu Ziqin came directly to Zhaochun Palace.

Luo Ge, who came back early because the Queen Mother was physically poor today, was already waiting for Mu Ziqin in the courtyard. She waited while admiring the nine-rank lotus flower that was beginning to open slightly.

Mu Ziqin had just arrived outside the door when he heard the waiter outside the door announcing in a loud voice: "The king has arrived." ”

Luo Ge immediately stepped forward to greet him and saluted. After Mu Ziqin helped her up, he immediately said, "This morning, I demoted Na Anxiu." Then promoted Yun Lan's father. ”

After listening, Luo Ge immediately asked Yun Lan to come and thank him.

"Yun Lan thanks the king for his grace."

After Mu Ziqin smiled and motioned for her to get up, he immediately turned his face to Luo Ge and said, "When did you also learn this set of false and unjust things?" ”

Luo Ge smiled and said, "This is to let her remember your goodness, after all, this is a good thing for their whole family." Of course, everyone who can thank you has come to say thank you. ”

Mu Ziqin raised his hand and scratched her nose lightly and said, "Naughty." ”

Luo Ge just smiled, and then pulled Mu Ziqin into the Hanxiang Palace. Walking to the study, the two put away their relaxed expressions just now.

Mu Ziqin asked, "Is there a rumor in the harem that I have passed on my holy decree this time?" ”

"I haven't received it yet. But according to An Wanqiu, who wants to climb into your bed so much, how can she let go of all the news about you? Now, though, she cares more about her father. ”

"Why don't we make a bet?" Mu Ziqin suddenly played sexually.

"What bet?" Luo Ge looked at him curiously, "What's there to bet on such a definite thing?" ”

"Let's bet, how long will An Xiu be kicked out by An Wanqiu?"

"What's there to bet on?" Luo Ge glanced at him, and then began to prepare the tea set.

"What's not to bet on?" Mu Ziqin smiled, "I think this An Xiu will be kicked out in a moment." You tell me? ”

"In that case, then I'll guess for half an hour." Luo Ge saw that Mu Ziqin was in high spirits, so he had no choice but to accompany him to the meeting, so he should pass the time.

"Then I'll send someone to wait."

After Mu Ziqin finished speaking, he went out like a child and arranged for someone to wait outside the Yiyu Palace.

When the chamberlain came to Yiyu Palace, An Xiu happened to be summoned to Yiyu Hall by An Wanqiu.

According to the rules and regulations of the harem, An Xiu is not allowed to enter the inner hall of the harem, but today is just the day when the families of the palace ladies enter the palace for reunion every month, and An Xiu can naturally come.

When she saw An Xiu, An Wanqiu immediately asked, "What's wrong with you!" Didn't you listen to what you said before? Why was the early dynasty demoted by the king today! ”

Facing her angry daughter, An Xiu carefully comforted: "What you said, my father listened to it." But I didn't expect to be discovered by the king. ”

"Tell me what you did?" An Wanqiu clasped her hands and looked at him with an expression of disbelieving.

"When the Father received your letter, he immediately transferred all his money and sold all the goods that had been sent by others. And all the money that was looted because of King Zi this time was returned. ”

"Then tell me, how did you transfer? How to sell? How did I return it? ”

"How can I get back?" An Xiu shook his hand angrily, "Isn't it just to find the housekeeper to do it directly." Do you want me to go there myself? ”

"Stupid!" An Wanqiu slapped the table and said loudly, "I told you to go in person, and now tell me the deal that you let the next person do!" This kind of thing is originally most afraid that the king's eyeliner will know. You're afraid that others won't know! Sell it with great fanfare! Why don't you tell the world? ”

Seeing her angry face turn blue, An Xiu knew the importance of the matter. He immediately asked nervously, "Now that the king has discovered it, what should I do?" ”

"You can leave your petty officer like this now. Peaceful, don't think about turning over. Don't even think about making any more money. An Wanqiu said helplessly, "After all, since I became this beloved, the king has never come to Yiyu Palace." I tried to go to Qingxia Palace to curry favor with the Queen Mother, but I ran into a wall several times. There's hardly any opportunity to help you right now. ”

"What about Concubine De who sponsored you before? Why don't you go about walking around? ”

For Luo Ge, it's okay if An Xiu doesn't mention it. Only then did Thian Wanqiu turn her face directly and said, "Do you really think that Concubine De will miss the love of master and servant?" Judging from the fact that she asked me to help her get things and make me a harem concubine as a condition, it can be seen that she has always just treated me as a chess piece. Now for her, I'm just a waste of chess, how can she take the chess pieces to heart? ”

"This ......" An Xiu embarrassedly digested what An Wanqiu said, "so...... You've only slept once. And then there was no then? ”

"Yes." An Wanqiu nodded.

"How can it be!" An Xiu was upset for her daughter, "I didn't expect this Concubine De to be such a scheming person." You'll have to be more careful in the future. ”

"Hmm." An Wanqiu nodded.

"Since your situation is so difficult to open at the moment, why don't you go to the end palace to find the queen?"

"I tried. Useless. "An Wanqiu had actually tried to contact Su Qingyu when she became a good person, but every time she sent someone to send it, she would be driven away by the guards guarding outside the palace. After doing this a few times, An Wanqiu also gave up.

"But the queen is your only hope, if you can't catch her, then you can really only die alone in this palace."

"Although it's hope, but she can't protect herself now, how can she help me?"

After An Wanqiu entered the palace, the first three days were to find out the news from everywhere and understand the situation in the palace. So she knew early that Su Qingyu had been locked up in the palace by Mu Ziqin.

"Can't you just find a way to get her out? And then let her help you? She is still the master of this harem. She is also the rightful queen of the king. ”

"And what do you think I should be?"

"Find a way for the king to go up to the queen and know what the queen is doing, and at the same time send a message to the queen so that she can follow the situation. Isn't it the best of both worlds? ”

An Wanqiu thought about it in her heart, she nodded with satisfaction, and said, "Then bother my father to find a way to get in touch with the queen now." ”

An Wanqiu only said this, and An Xiu understood. She asked him to use the chamberlain she had bought in the palace, and then find a way to pass the word between the two palaces for her.

"Okay. Now Wechen is retiring. ”

An Xiu just exited the Yiyu Hall and immediately walked to the inner chamber. And the little chamberlain who was waiting for him outside the door immediately turned around and returned to Zhaochun Palace to resume his life.

Hearing the report from the chamberlain, Mu Ziqin took a sip of the tea in his hand and said disappointedly: "Alas." I didn't expect you and me to be wrong. ”

"I just didn't say what I wanted to bet on. Wrong is wrong. Why should the king bother? ”

"Why don't you get entangled, if you win, then you can find a way to find you something that you want?"

The waiter who was kneeling on the ground, listening to Mu Ziqin's tone of voice, immediately got up and quietly retreated. And Luo Ge, who watched him leave, said, "Senior brother, don't hold it, the person has already gone out." ”

"Uninteresting." Mu Ziqin saw that her mind was not on what she said just now, so she didn't deliberately hold it.

"What's so boring?" Luo Ge smiled instead, "You definitely didn't come here simply to find out these news. Just say it. There must be something that you can't decide, so you deliberately came to me early at the end of the dynasty. ”

"I'm thinking...... Will this promotion attract public resentment? Mu Ziqin saw that she had made it clear and didn't hide it, and said: "And from the Great Jin State to the present, except for such a large-scale talent promotion when my grandfather first inherited the position, there is only today." ”

"Then senior brother, let me ask you first, do you want to hear the truth or lie?"

"Truth."

Luo Ge nodded clearly and said, "Since you said that your grandfather did it before, it means that you are not the only one." That would not constitute the displeasure of the courtiers. What's more, most of the old ministers in the court will not be so stupid as to find themselves bored. Even if there is, it is like An Xiu, and the gap between official positions is too large. So, can you tell me how many people are so surprised by their official position? ”

Mu Ziqin pondered for a moment and said, "This one after that." And just now in the court, he raised an objection, so I refuted him. ”

"If that's the case, then there will certainly be no more objections after that. But...... You can't avoid people not having two hearts. So, at the same time, you have to do a good job of reassuring the ministers. ”

"I understand that." Mu Ziqin said proudly, "I have already thought about the appeasement of the ministers. In addition to the subsidy for money and food, I also asked the cabinet to draw up a proclamation that promotion could be examined at the autumn equinox. ”

"Then what else is Senior Brother worried about?"

"I'm worried that someone will get in the way. After all, three people become tigers. ”

Luo Ge actually understood Mu Ziqin's worries very well, for such a large change of courtiers, it would have been inherently ineffective for the stability of a dynasty, but if it was not for such a large-scale change, then he would have no chance to promote those who were originally capable and sincere to him. There are no vacancies for high grades, and there is never a chance for low grades.

Luo Ge comforted him with a smile and said, "When did my senior brother who took care of me everywhere become so cautious? ”

Mu Ziqin sighed and said, "It's not because since the end of last year, Dao has undergone two major eradiations, otherwise there would not be such a situation of internal and external troubles." There is an urgent need for someone inside and outside the palace to fill the various places that were originally empty. And it has to be competent. Otherwise, it will only bring more trouble later. ”

"But, senior brother, aren't you done today?"

"But the harem doesn't." Mu Ziqin's eyes were still full of sadness.

"Isn't it okay to be the new maid who was selected into the palace before? After all, it was good to look at it when I picked it. ”

"That's not enough." Mu Ziqin shook his head, "With the current number, if the show girl enters the palace next year...... Where does Lone go to find someone to meet the needs of the palaces? ”
