Recently, the second brother also introduced her to the cousin of the second sister-in-law, saying that it was to let them know each other in advance before the election of the show girls.

But he thinks that women are too troublesome, and he is already busy enough to manage the business every day, where is the time to deal with difficult women?

Unexpectedly, the second brother hadn't finished dealing with it, and Jiang Liangdi actually wanted to introduce her cousin to him!

Alas, it's just that he is too good and makes those warblers and Yanyan targeted.

"......" Facing such a confident and narcissistic Seventh Prince, Jiang Shishi was quite speechless, "Where do you want to go, I am not giving you a red line, but a business line for you." ”

"My cousin's family runs a weaving workshop in Jiangnan, and they specialize in producing all kinds of fabrics and velvet flowers, and I heard that you just had this need, so I brought her."

Do you think that you just want to make money, and Lin Zhiyao is still worried that men will affect her speed of making money!

"Huh?" The Seventh Prince was still a little unconvinced, "Is it really just to talk to me about business?" ”

Before this, the second brother knew that he was focused on business, so he asked the second sister-in-law's cousin to get along with him under the pretext of cooperating in business.

As a result, before he could talk a few words, he revealed his true face of wanting to marry him.

"It's really just about business!" Jiang Shishi looked at Lin Zhiyao in the guest room, "If you don't believe it, you can go in and talk to her now." ”

The Seventh Prince didn't go in immediately, but said to Jiang Shishi: "Don't rush in first, let me tell you, our new autumn pants, shoes, and glasses business has been selling more and more hotly recently." ”

"Especially the autumn pants, slim and warm, when the women of the dynasty are thin and beautiful, they all like those autumn pants very much, and the guys are almost unable to control it." As he spoke, he handed Jiang Shishi a stack of ledgers and a large envelope, "Hey, this is last month's ledger, and your share of the profits." ”

Before coming here, the Seventh Prince knew that Jiang Liangdi was there, and he had already prepared the account books and silver tickets.

Now that he saw Jiang Liangdi, he handed over the account book and silver ticket to Jiang Liangdi.

Jiang Shishi knew that this would be the result, but she was not very surprised, and took the account book and envelope very indifferently.

After whispering, the Seventh Prince re-entered the guest room and exchanged a few casual greetings with Lin Zhiyao, "I heard that your family runs a weaving workshop?" ”

Lin Zhiyao: "Yes, from weaving to dyeing, to weaving and other processes, we do it ourselves, in addition, we also have a velvet flower workshop. ”

Immediately afterwards, the Seventh Prince asked Lin Zhiyao about some business situations, and Lin Zhiyao answered them fluently.

According to Lin Zhiyao's answer, the Seventh Prince believed that Lin Zhiyao was really here to discuss business with him.

Jiang Shishi saw that it was not too early, so she said to the Seventh Prince: "Seventh Prince, it's not too early, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and I are going back to the palace, as for my cousin's business, you can't take advantage of people too much." ”

"Since it's your cousin, I will definitely negotiate the right price, and besides, there is no need to say so much, this king will cooperate directly with her." The Seventh Prince is very happy.

Lin Zhiyao disagreed, "Lord Wang, you haven't seen my family's fabrics and velvet flowers, why did you directly agree to cooperate?" ”

While speaking, Lin Zhiyao asked the maid to bring her cloth and velvet flowers and show them to the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince is a knowledgeable person, and when he saw that the fabric was good and the velvet flowers were exquisite, he asked more about the situation.

Lin Zhiyao: "For these velvet flowers, we specially invited some skilled masters to select natural silk, and then use brass wire hook strips to shape, and after more than a dozen processes can finally be formed, the ...... can be finally formed."

Jiang Shishi saw that the Seventh Prince and Lin Zhiyao were discussing business, and instructed the Seventh Prince to take good care of Lin Zhiyao, so she returned to the palace with the prince.

As for the Seventh Prince and Lin Zhiyao, they chatted until the evening.

Originally, he was looking at Jiang Liangdi's face, so he took care of Lin Zhiyao.

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhiyao introduced the fabric and velvet flowers to him very seriously, and also took out various samples to show her.

It was the first time he had seen such a serious and sincere little girl in business, and he was impressed.

In addition, he did fall in love with the Lin family's fabrics and velvet flowers, and the two negotiated the price on the same day, and then prepared to cooperate.

**

It's the wax moon in a flash.

At the end of the year, the officials of the various ministries of the Eastern Liang State took a small test every year and a big test every three years.

At the end of the year, the summit of the heads of various ministries evaluated the officials according to the five aspects of morality, ability, diligence, performance, and integrity.

Where there are more than three A's, there is no C-D, and a commendation is given.

Five A, promoted and promoted.

More than three dings, downgrade.

Five dings, deposed.

On this day, Pei Xuanling called Song Fu to the study of the Ministry of Rites and handed Song Fu a booklet, "According to the performance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites this year, they were graded. ”

Song Fu took the booklet and handed a booklet to the prince, "This official has also listed a booklet of official ratings, and asked His Highness to take a look." ”

So, Pei Xuanling and Song Fu began to look at each other's lists.

After reading it, Song Fu smiled and said: "Your Highness, I found that the list we have listed is roughly the same, and your one is more comprehensive than mine, and I will gather all the officials of the Ministry of Rites in a while, and follow your proposal." ”

Pei Xuanling nodded and let out a faint "um".

Then, he handed another letter to Song Fu.

When Song Fu took the letter, he saw the word "Dictionary" written on the envelope, and his expression suddenly became solemn.

He immediately opened the envelope and took a closer look at the contents.

After reading it, he looked at the crown prince with a shocked expression, "Your Highness, you actually want to ask yourself to be removed from the Ministry of Rites?" Transfer the Ministry of Rites to the Six Princes? Are you going to leave the Ministry of Rites behind? Why, do you think that the Ministry of Rites is something you can manage if you want to, and you don't care if you don't want to? ”

Pei Xuanling didn't expect Song Fu to react so much, "Didn't Lord Song always admire the talented Sixth Prince, and asked the emperor many times to let the Sixth Princes take over the Ministry of Rites?" Isn't this just what Lord Song wanted? ”

"Your Highness, that's all in the past." Song Fu hurriedly explained: "Yes, I did admire the Sixth Princes at the beginning, so I rejected you from the bottom of my heart, but that was because I didn't know you well enough. ”

"Now that you have been in charge of the Ministry of Rites for a year, I have been subjugated by your talents, your statecraft, and your responsibilities......"

Speaking of this, Song Fuchao knelt down to the crown prince and kowtowed to the ground, "Your Highness, Your Majesty begs you to continue to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

Several times before, he was surprised by the scheming and decisive His Royal Highness the Prince, and secretly admired the Prince.

Until the last time the emperor's birthday, there was such a big thing, the prince was removed by the emperor from the right to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and when the emperor wanted to severely punish the Ministry of Rites, the prince took on the matter on his own, and he completely surrendered to the prince!

Pei Xuanling was a little surprised by Song Fu's sudden surrender.

Because before this, Song Fu had never shown this in front of him.

"Lone didn't want to leave the Ministry of Rites, but the situation forced me to let go for the time being." Pei Xuanling tried to persuade Song Fu, "The sixth child is his own person, and the Ministry of Rites will take care of him, Lone is very relieved, if there is anything important in the Ministry of Rites, he will also tell Lone." ”

At present, he is in charge of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites, which is indeed a bit eye-catching.

Last time, his father handed over the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War to him, King Mu, and King Kang respectively, but he turned his head and left a hand, and the final decision belonged to his father.

Now that there are two departments in the six ministries in his hands, my father will definitely not be at ease.

Rather than wait for his father to take measures, it is better for him to abdicate and make way for Xian.

Anyway, the sixth brother is his own person, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders.

If you wait until your father hands over the Ministry of Rites to someone else, it will be a big loss.

Song Funeng became the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he was also an old treacherous and cunning person.

Although the prince did not say it explicitly, he still heard something wrong from the prince's words.

The prince didn't want to leave the Ministry of Rites, but he was forced by the situation to leave the Ministry of Rites.

Thinking of this, he tried to ask the crown prince: "Your Highness, I want to confirm with you again, are you sure that you really don't care about the Ministry of Rites, but hand over the Ministry of Rites to the Sixth Prince, and you will continue to secretly pay attention to the Ministry of Rites, right?" ”

Pei Xuanling nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.

Hearing this, Song Fu was relieved, "In this case, Xia Guan can help you!" ”

Speaking of this, Song Fu walked up to the prince and whispered to the prince.

It didn't take long for the sound of the prince and Song Fu arguing from the study, which stunned all the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

In the end, the two also made trouble with Emperor Jianyuan's Longyuan Palace.

At this moment, Emperor Jianyuan was sitting in the study of Longyuan Palace, and the crown prince and Song Fu were standing in front of him, each with their own reasons.

"Your Majesty, the crown prince uses his power for personal gain, and specially promotes officials for his use, and for those who refuse to rely on him, he will demote him!" Song Fu was indignant and reported this matter to Emperor Jianyuan.

Here, Pei Xuanling also said: "Father, the sons are just promoting a few officials who are really talented and hardworking, and Lord Song said that the sons and daughters use power for personal gain, but those officials are the first in the five aspects of morality, ability, diligence, performance, and integrity, so why do you use power for personal gain?" ”

Song Fu: "Since you didn't use your power for personal gain, why do you pay more attention to them on weekdays?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "Who doesn't like subordinates with real talents?" ”

Song Fu: "What about those officials who refuse to attach themselves to you, what do you say about them everywhere?" ”

Pei Xuanling: "They have turned their backs on the public and the private, and the officials are deceitful, so of course they don't want to see them!" ”

“......”

The crown prince and Song Fu quarreled with them, and Emperor Jianyuan looked at what he wanted to see.

He looked at the prince's rating of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and found that the people the prince wanted to promote were indeed excellent officials.

As for the people who were demoted by the crown prince, it is really not good to be an official.

However, he didn't say it, but Song Fu and the prince continued to quarrel.

Regardless of whether the prince quarrels with the prince, or the officials quarrel with the officials, or the officials quarrel with the prince, Emperor Jianyuan likes to see it.

This shows that his weighing technique has worked, and the reason why he handed over the Ministry of Rites to the prince at the beginning was that he knew that Song Fu was not satisfied with the prince.

In this way, even if the prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites will not become the prince.

Otherwise, if the courtiers are in harmony, they will think about how to deal with him.

Song Fu: "Your Majesty, since the prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, the minister has always disliked what the prince has done, after a year of working together, the contradiction between the minister and the prince is deepening, yes, the minister implores the emperor to remove the prince's right to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, otherwise I have no prince in this Ministry of Rites, and there is no prince in this Ministry of Rites, and there is no prince without me!" ”

In the end, Song Fu gritted his teeth, his face was red, and he was very angry when he saw it.

Pei Xuanling also said with a calm face: "Father, the son has also endured Lord Song for a long time, I just rated the officials of the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the rules, and he is here to push back and smear the ministers." ”

"It just so happens that Erchen has just taken over the Ministry of Crafts recently, and he can't take care of the two departments for a while, hasn't Lord Song always admired the sixth child, and refused to cooperate with Erchen to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, the father and emperor found the sixth to take charge of the Ministry of Rites, or find someone else to manage the Ministry of Rites, anyway, this Ministry of Rites, Lone doesn't want to take care of it for a long time!"

"Hmph." Song Fu snorted coldly, "Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, don't say it, maybe, the Sixth Prince is really more suitable than you to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

Emperor Jianyuan saw that the crown prince and Song Fu were arguing, so he said loudly: "Since the two of you have reached the point where water and fire are incompatible, it is better not to work together." ”

"In this way, Song Aiqing will continue to be the secretary of your Ministry of Rites, and the prince is in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and he can't take charge of the Ministry of Rites for the time being, so the sixth child will be in charge of the Ministry of Rites."

In fact, even if the prince and Song Fu didn't get into trouble to this point, he planned to find a way to take back the rites in the prince's hands.

Now that the prince and Song Fu are not in agreement, he is also saved from finding a reason, and he just took advantage of this matter to remove the prince's Ministry of Rites.

For now, apart from the sixth child, he can't think of anyone to take over the Ministry of Rites for the time being.

Although Song Fu admires the sixth child, and the sixth child is also a princeling, once he is contaminated with power, it is difficult to say anything about the relationship between brothers and sons......

In this regard, Pei Xuanling responded "yes".

Song Fu: "That's great! ”

**

On the same day, the prince and the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had a big quarrel, and the two quarreled so much that they couldn't work together, and the news that the emperor handed over the Ministry of Rites to the six princes spread in the capital.

When the Mu Wang Party and the Kang Wang Party learned about it, how gloating was Sensei.

In the following days, the princes were busy with the year-end summary of their respective departments.

After the prince handed over the Ministry of Rites to the six princes, he was in charge of the Ministry of Works.

The Ministry of Industry is in charge of Shanze, Tuntian, craftsmen, and the affairs of paper, pen and ink.

The Ministry of Industry is responsible for building all kinds of tools, building city embankments, and repairing palace yamen.

There are also hunting, felling of wood and stones, charcoal, medicines, and the harvesting of gold, silver, copper, iron, lead, and tin, which are also under the control of the Ministry of Works.

The prince's year-end summary has already been written, and he is already thinking about his plans for next year.

I heard that the military salaries at the border pass were tight, and I thought that the end of the year had arrived, so I now ordered Tuntian, and the border pass could start spring plowing early next year.

As for Jiang Shishi in the East Palace, in addition to reading the account book, she is enjoying delicious food, exercising, and then asking for peace to the side concubines.

The sixteenth day of the lunar month is Jiang Shishi's birthday.

On this day, except for Chun Xing, who gave her a bowl of longevity noodles early, the rest was no different from usual.

In the afternoon, Jiang Shishi held the soup woman and sat in the inner room to read the account book given to her by the seventh prince.

Now, she is a little rich woman.

Jiang Shishi was happy to count the money, but Chun Xing on the side was thinking, at the end of the year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very busy, and he hadn't come to see the little lord for a long time, and he didn't know if the little lord's birthday would come?

Under normal circumstances, only when the two side concubines of the East Palace celebrate their birthdays, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be attentive and send someone to reward them with birthday gifts, or let them sleep.

A good woman like the little master, it is estimated that His Royal Highness does not remember the birthday of the little master.

At dusk, Jiang Shishi saw that it was already dark outside, so she instructed the servants, "Chunxing, it's almost time to go to the imperial dining room, right?" ”

"The slave is going to the imperial dining room." Chun Xing tried to ask: "Today is your birthday, do you want to spend money to add a few more dishes?" ”

Jiang Shishi: "I can't eat it alone, you let them boil a lotus root stew in bone broth, and then get a salt and pepper prawn." ”

It's too cold in winter, so I like to drink some soup to warm my stomach.

After Chun Xing responded, she carried the food box and prepared to go to the imperial dining room.

As soon as he walked out of the yard, he saw Huang Dechang coming in with a whisk.

"The slave wishes Jiang Liangdi a happy, safe and healthy life." As soon as he entered the house, Huang Dechang gave Jiang Liangdi a big gift.

Jiang Shishi put down the account book in her hand and called.

After Huang Dechang got up, he smiled and said, "Jiang Liangdi, Your Highness knows that today is your birthday, so I specially asked the servant to invite you to the front yard to talk about it." ”

------Off topic------

Emperor Jianyuan: I like to watch them quarrel, otherwise if the courtiers are in harmony, they will think about how to deal with me.

Pei Xuanling & Song Fu: We quarreled just to deal with the emperor.
