Chapter 19 The Yongzheng Hall of the Early Dynasty
Mo Cui summoned six second-class girls, and each helped Jiang Shu and the three of them back to the room.
Jiang Shu saw that it was not easy to toss Bai Su and Bai Tan this morning, so she left Mo Cui to wait closely, and let Bai Su and Bai Tan go to bathe and change clothes.
Jiang Shu changed out of sweaty clothes and soaked them in hot water, feeling much more comfortable.
My martial arts skills are really poor, and if I continue like this, I am afraid that how to exercise is to strengthen the body.
"Mo Cui, with your experience, do you think my foundation can learn kung fu well? Answer me truthfully. Jiang Shu asked.
"Miss, with today's progress, Miss may be able to get started if she persists for three years, and there may be no problem in dealing with a three-legged cat thief. If you meet someone who practices martial arts, there is almost no chance of winning. Mo Cui replied truthfully.
"You...... Mo Cui, Mo Cui, why are you so honest, don't you say that you can make me happy. Jiang Shu knew that Mo Cui was telling the truth, so she could only make a splash unhappily.
"It was Mademoiselle who asked me to answer truthfully." Mo Cui said honestly.
At this moment, the honest Mo Cui only made Jiang Shu feel that it was more difficult to deal with than the sharp-toothed Bai Su.
Forget it, Jiang Shu closed her eyes and enjoyed the moisture of the hot water, but her head began to think.
In this case, his self-protection ability is still a little worse, although Mo Cui will follow him inch by inch, it should not be a big problem, but there is always an exception to everything.
What to do.
That's right.
Jiang Shu suddenly thought that when the second brother secretly went out of the house, he would always give sweat medicine to the little guy at the door, let them sleep, and when the second brother came back after a day, he woke up the little guy slowly, pretending to be a serious day of reading, and deceived his father and mother.
Jiang Shu thinks that there are a lot of prescriptions for drugs in his head, so what if he combines medicine with martial arts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shu was excited: "Mo Cui, if I practice my kung fu diligently, hide the drug in my purse or cuff, see that the situation is not right, see it quickly, and scatter it to the other party, is this feasible?" ”
"Attack it unprepared, take it by surprise. Yes, it does. In addition, it only takes hands-on work, if the young lady can exercise diligently. It shouldn't be difficult to make a small success in March. Mo Cui said, "Miss, what are you going to do?" It is good to hand it over to Mocui, and the slave and maid will definitely bow down and die. ”
"No, no, you think too much, I said in the book, be prepared for danger in times of peace, be prepared for danger in times of peace." Jiang Shu perfunctory Mo Cui's question.
It's just that in the late part of his previous life, he was too cowardly and at the mercy of others, so he craved power.
"Then from tomorrow onwards, you will accompany me to practice the basic skills for two hours, and practice the hands of one hour." Jiang Shu said.
"Yes, miss." Motsui replied.
"By the way, today is Qi Xuan's first day in the court, from now on, you send a few people to keep an eye on him secretly, and come back to me if you make any moves. If something big happens in this court, if you know it, you will have to go back and forth to me. Jiang Shu said that only by grasping the news can she take the initiative, and in this life she is not a chess piece, but a chess player.
Mo Cui is not only her mother's guard, but also the captain of the secret guard, and she has one of the private soldiers of the county lord's mansion in her hand. This private soldier is different from the secret guard of the Jiang family, because it inherits the eldest princess of Changqing and belongs to the county lord of Changmin, so this private soldier has men and women, and it is the easiest to use for reconnaissance and detection.
"Yes." Mo Cui clenched her hands into fists and took the order.
…………
Yongzheng Palace, early dynasty
Emperor Yongqing has finished discussing today's important matters with the courtiers, and there is still one happy event to announce, and the early dynasty will be over.
I saw that under the court, three young talents, the jade tree was in the wind, the spring breeze was proud, and the eyes were full of expectation, waiting for the king's will.
Today is the day of the first three royal seals of the new department.
Emperor Yongqing looked at the three heroic young men in the hall, and only felt that he was a little younger.
His gaze swept to Qi Xuan in the middle, the champion of the new department, the son-in-law of Jiang Guogong's Mansion, and indeed a handsome and extraordinary young man, no wonder Shu'er was such a picky girl who could abandon the young talents of the entire Dayong and choose him.
Because of the relationship between the eldest princess of Changqing, Jiang Shu often entered the palace when she was young.
The heirs of Emperor Yongqing were prosperous, and the queen and a group of concubines were born as princes, until later, after Concubine Liu gave birth to a daughter as the tenth princess, the palace had princesses born one after another.
Therefore, when Emperor Yongqing was young, he loved this glutinous rice dumpling that often entered the palace.
Until the little girl grew up, Emperor Yongqing gradually began to be a little troubled.
Dayong's foundation has been around for a hundred years, resulting in some families with deep roots, and the Jiang family is undoubtedly the thickest one.
Although the Jiang family has been loyal since the beginning of the dynasty, they have to guard against it, after all, as an emperor, they can't rely on the loyalty of their courtiers to guard the country.
Therefore, since Jiang Shu grew up, Emperor Yongqing began to worry.
If Jiang Shu marries a talented person who grew up with her in the capital, these people are also from extraordinary family backgrounds, if Jiang Shu marries, Emperor Yongqing is afraid that the Jiang family's power will expand again, and the impact on the court will be deeper.
If Jiang Shu is married to the royal family, it will also be distressing.
If he marries the prince who thinks he can succeed to the throne, then when he is a hundred years old, can the new emperor live in the Jiang family, and if he leaves the queen's Jiang family, will his relatives be autocratic.
If you marry an idle prince and become a princess, the two husbands and wives will live freely.
However, in the royal family, who does not wear a mask to people. He couldn't be sure if those princes who didn't care about the throne on their faces were really unscrupulous about the throne.
If he just hibernate and deceived everyone, after marrying Jiang Shu, this prince will have the support of the Jiang family and a bargaining chip to compete for the throne.
In both cases, Emperor Yongqing did not dare to bet.
Emperor Yongqing didn't think that it would be good if Jiang Shu married a minor official in Kyoto. It's just that Jiang Shu's identity is so noble, how can the Jiang family and the county lord of Changmin be willing to give it.
If the indiscriminate marriage makes the Jiang family unhappy, it will also make the families feel cold, and they are afraid that the Jiang family will be followed by themselves, after all, who doesn't have a distressed daughter.
I didn't expect that this little glutinous rice dumpling would be so worry-free when it grew up, just when Emperor Yongqing was heartbroken about Jiang Shu's marriage.
There was news outside the palace that the concubine of Jiang Mansion and the new champion fell in love at first sight, and they would not marry.
Emperor Yongqing hurriedly asked the Hanlin Academy to transfer Qi Xuan's examination case to take a look.
Origins are remote, poor champions, good! didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately went to Jiang's house.
What are you going to do, you ask?
Of course, it is to express his love for his uncle and grandmother, knock on the Jiang family, and complete the little glutinous rice dumplings with sincerity.
With Jiang Shu's initiative, everything fell into place.
didn't hurt the little glutinous rice dumplings in vain, the selection of people does not look at the family background only depends on the appearance, such a good character, how worth carrying forward, if the nobles of Dayong all learn, the royal family can have less trouble!
Of course, Emperor Yongqing is just thinking about it, after all, there are not many noble daughters with a status as valuable as Jiang Shu. For other people, Emperor Yongqing can still handle it accurately.
Moreover, yesterday, Marquis Jiang entered the palace to meet him, but he didn't expect to make a request that surprised Emperor Yongqing a little.
