Chapter 874: It's Not the Same as It Used To Be

If Li Mian encounters this kind of thing in the past, regardless of whether there is evidence or not, even if he turns over the place where his subordinates were killed and turns it upside down, he must let the person who started it know that the people in the guard battalion are by no means killed casually without bearing the consequences.

But the direction of this case is the prince, and it involves sensitive iron. If one is not handled well, it is the result of father and son cannibalism and brotherhood, so he can't be careless.

The emperor didn't know what he thought, and the hand that wanted to slap the case angrily slowed down, and then put it down and pressed it on the table. yes, do you want to look it up? Looking at Li Mian's expression, the results of the investigation will fall on the heads of King Fu and the Ministry of Works.

It is not a simple matter to shake one of the six departments of the imperial court, and there is also his son who has always been proud.

Thinking about the almost festering household, the emperor was silent for a long time and asked, "What is the movement of Jinrong?" How much is in this? ”

He replied with great consideration: "...... King Yu is building a garden on the outskirts of Beijing these days," he paused and continued, "When a subordinate of the minister investigated the case, he once got a clue that was a little strange, and after the minister found it, when he went to track it down, he could no longer find a trace. The minister was not sure if it was His Royal Highness King Yu. ”

The emperor hummed noncommittally, frowned and said to himself: "Why did he build a garden again?" ”

He was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked: "I heard that Your Highness wants to rent out the garden, if Your Majesty wants exact news, the minister will go to check." ”

The Emperor groaned, not speaking for a moment.

I don't know if the Great Xia Dynasty is lucky, he feels that he has done a good job as an emperor, and his sons have also been smart since childhood.

Even if the prince doesn't seem to be a weapon now, he was also keen and quick when he was a child, and he was familiar with history books and classics, so he was involved in political affairs early and was in charge of the household department. Probably it was because he was in charge of a department too early and went smoothly that he gradually lost his scruples.

After that, he put Jinyi in the Ministry of Industry, in fact, it was mainly to urge the prince, so that he had some pressure and urgency, who knew that not only did not have the desired effect on the prince, but made Jinyi ambitious.

Nowadays, the forces in the court are complicated, not only the forces cultivated by the prince and King Fu, but also the officials close to King Yu.

Li Mian said this, he really can't discuss with the courtiers.

The emperor waved his hand and said to Li Mian: "No, you continue to investigate the case at hand." Possession of iron for private use is a big deal, and this kind of thing cannot be taken lightly. Don't make a noise first, check quietly, and report anything that is difficult to decide. ”

Li Mian hurriedly agreed.

Zhang Cunhai, who was accompanying the emperor, also breathed a sigh of relief, what a little bit of a matter, isn't it that the prince used iron ore and iron materials privately? If the sky is gone, even if the Ministry of Industry is convenient, and you can make weapons privately without knowing it, someone has to dare to use it, right?

The generals in charge of military power are all loyal to the imperial power, what are you afraid of?

…………

Five days later, Ye Xinyan dressed up carefully and took the post of the county palace to participate in the spring banquet of the Anping county palace.

King Anping is not of high grade among the princes, and his age is not very old, but he never participates in political affairs, and he is good at dancing with long sleeves.

Therefore, there have always been many people who cheer for the banquet of the county king's mansion, and as long as they make a post, there are few people who can't shirk it.

Jiang Yifan's grade is not high, and it is common to carry the identity of Grandma Jiang. is not like before marriage, in the name of the eldest lady of the Anguo Mansion, you can run rampant.

And she has a task in her body, so she is very conscious, and puts her identity as the eldest lady of the Guogong Mansion back, and ranks behind with peace of mind, waiting for all kinds of ladies and ladies to go in first.

When it was her turn, the subordinates of the county king's mansion greeted her, and when they heard that it was Grandma Jiang in the carriage, they immediately picked up a caution, apologized repeatedly, and introduced the carriage into the mansion.

As soon as Ye Xinyan got out of the car, the princess of the county king happened to send in a lady, and turned to greet her.

This princess is not very old, less than thirty, with a good appearance and a fair face. Dressed in a crimson dress embroidered with peonies. The long jacket embroidered with a light purple peony on the moon white background on the upper body, and the hairpin ring on the bun are luxurious, which looks dignified and graceful, and demure and elegant.

When the princess of the county prince saw Ye Xinyan, she was stunned at first, and then she came forward with a smile on her face, and praised it very exaggeratedly: "This is Grandma Jiang is here, and she really looks like a fairy, I almost didn't dare to recognize it." ”

There were a few women around who had not entered the inner door, and Ye Xinyan had a rough impression of them, but she was not very familiar with them.

When these ladies and the maids and women beside them looked at Ye Xinyan, they also looked a little surprised. The female dependents quickly glanced at Ye Xinyan, then glanced at each other, and walked towards the inner door together.

Ye Xinyan hurriedly saluted the princess and was polite and humble.

In order to better complete the things Jiang Yifan explained, she really dressed up. But for the princess to praise her so exaggeratedly, she really didn't feel a little uncomfortable.

Fortunately, the princess was also busy, so she sent her a few steps to the inner door, handed it to her brother-in-law, Mrs. Qiao, and explained what was going on, although she instructed the maid who was waiting beside her.

Mrs. Qiao is an elegant woman in her twenties, and her clothes and jewelry are not as grand as those of the princess, but she also has another gorgeous reserve.

She took Ye Xinyan and walked in, and politely introduced her to today's arrangements and what the guests were invited.

The whole pattern of the county king's mansion is very clean and elegant, but the mental state of the maids and servants seen along the way is very good, all with a humble smile on their faces, enthusiastic and rude, and curtsy to the guests who come all the way, so that the guests who come in all the way are also a little more happy.

The garden of the county king's mansion is a typical courtyard structure, and Madame Qiao led her out of the verandah, and in front of it were several houses and palaces, and the windows of the cornices were beautifully carved.

Mrs. Qiao pointed to a wide hall in the middle, and asked Ye Xinyan with a smile: "Princess Yu and Princess Fu are in Yajing Hall, do you want Grandma Jiang to go over and see them?" ”

To meet Han Yufang? Forget it.

Ye Xinyan hurriedly excused herself: "Mrs. Qiao laughed, I want to come there is a place for you to gossip, I still want to go to the ordinary women's relatives, it is convenient for each of them." ”

Mrs. Qiao smiled and nodded, and led her to the flower hall on the side, but she was very surprised in her heart.

This Grandma Jiang is really different from the past, if it is in the past, she has such a high temperament, how can she have to tilt her chin and go over to show her heart that she is not afraid of all kinds of powerful people.

No wonder the king of Anping has a reputation for being good at dancing with long sleeves, and everyone in the palace has such qualities. Mrs. Qiao's arrangement of Ye Xinyan is also very intimate. In the side flower hall, there are Ye Xinyan's two cousins-in-law, Yuan and Wu, as well as cousin Yin Yuanfang.

Yuan is the wife of Yin Xiao's eldest son Yin Yan, and she has long been advised by Yin to take care of her cousin. At this time, he saw Ye Xinyan come in, and hurriedly beckoned her over.

The ladies of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion have a lot of contacts with Ye Xinyan, and they are no stranger to her makeup and dress changes after marriage.

But the others are different, in the past, they only heard that this Miss Ye is more beautiful than in the past, but there are not many who can see it with their own eyes, and some people only glanced at it a few times on the day of Ye Xinyan's marriage.
