After the banquet was dismissed, the second aunt and grandmother Gongsun Wanyan glanced at the old lady, asked the girl to leave a message, and followed Li Qingyi to the east courtyard, and stopped her halfway.

Li Qingyi was not surprised to see her catching up, and saluted, "Auntie."

Gongsun Wanyan was a little embarrassed.

Last time in Jingyuntang, her mother said that she didn't let go of anything to beg Qin Zeng, she was disappointed and returned, and then her mother asked someone to send her money, but what was the use, now if she wants to send silver, she doesn't know who to give it to!

She looked at Li Qingyi, pondered her words, and said, "Niece and daughter-in-law, I don't know if Brother Zhen has revealed anything to you about what I said in Jingyuntang last time?"

"Auntie, there are some things that we women can't figure out with all our efforts, and it may be a matter of a few words to put them on the man, at this time Brother Zhen is in the east courtyard, you go back with me to sit down for a while, I will let him come back and ask, why bother so much?"

Of course, Li Qingyi knew why Gongsun Wanyan was afraid of Qin Zeng, because when the old lady made things difficult for the first princess, the eldest aunt and grandmother helped the eldest sister-in-law speak, but the second aunt and grandmother breathed out from the old lady's nostrils, and naturally her heart was weak.

But Li Qingyi's expression was natural at this time, as if it was really just an aunt asking her nephew about a trivial matter.

Gongsun Wanyan was also forced to lose ground, gritted his teeth and agreed.

The two went all the way to the east courtyard, the weather was hot, Li Qingyi was sweating on his forehead, and Gongsun Wanyan was even more sweaty.

Lu Wu lifted the curtain for them, and said, "It's really too hot this day, so the slave maid will go to fetch water to clean the faces of the second aunt and grandmother."

Gongsun Wanyan secretly said that Li Qingyi's girl really has the ability to see, and she doesn't want to see her nephew so embarrassed.

Li Qingyi looked at her expression and knew that she was really afraid of Qin Zeng's prestige.

But then again, apart from a few people close to Qin Zeng, who is not afraid of his prestige?

After a while, Lu Wu fetched water and asked people to bring two more ice basins.

After the two of them sweated, Li Qingyi said, "Chang Yan, you go and ask the uncle if he is free, and if he is free, let him go back to the backyard."

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Gongsun Wanyan waited restlessly for a while, and then heard a different footsteps from the girl outside.

She immediately tensed.

Li Qingyi got up to greet him, "Master."

There were outsiders there, Qin Zeng said "um" lightly, and didn't say anything else.

Gongsun Wanyan hesitated again and again, but still stood up, and hesitantly shouted "Brother Zhen".

Qin Zeng nodded at her and sat down on the side.

Li Qingyi also pulled Gongsun Wanyan to sit back, and took the initiative to ask for her: "I heard my aunt say that my aunt has been waiting at home for a long time because of the transfer of the officials, and there is no news, I don't know if there is any letter from the officials?"

Qin Zeng glanced at Gongsun Wanyan, and Gongsun Wanyan's heart instantly tightened.

But Qin Zeng didn't say much else, and told her the answer straightforwardly, "The left deputy imperial envoy of the Imperial Inspectorate was transferred to the secretary of the ministry, and now he is gradually taking over the affairs of the ministry, presumably my uncle's appointment will be settled soon."

"Really?"

Gongsun Wanyan was so excited that she almost cried.

Qin Zeng looked at her and nodded indifferently.

Li Qingyi was very surprised.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is one of the clearest institutions, when the family is the left capital imperial history, in addition to the left and right deputy capital imperial history, the left and right capital imperial history and the 13 imperial history, responsible for supervision, assessment and supervision.

On the face of it, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is not as real as that of the Six Ministries. Because the six Shangshu are in charge of real errands, but the imperial history is relatively empty, but this is not the case.

As for the scope of the imperial historians' supervision, there is basically no restriction. From the minister's marriage of a few more concubines to the emperor's behavior, it was all within the scope of the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate belonged to the base camp of Qingliu officials in the imperial court, and was basically not afraid of retaliation. If an official takes revenge on the imperial history of the Imperial Prosecutor's Office. The next day, hundreds of impeachment letters were sent to the Cabinet.

The so-called "impeachment of ministers and women who engage in evil, villains who form the party, and those who act as prestige and disorderly politicians, impeachment of those who are obscene and corrupt in official discipline, and impeachment of those who are not academically correct, who write and make statements into chaos, and who want to use them."

Even the elders of the imperial court and the six scholars have a lot of headaches for the impeachment of the imperial historians.

Therefore, the strength of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Ministries is almost equal.

The Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court and the Six Books of the Imperial Palace, known as the "Great Seven Qings", but the six departments are also divided into 369 and so on.

What's more, the left "deputy" imperial envoy was transferred to the secretary of the ministry, and he was almost promoted to three levels in a row.

Obviously, the emperor's decision was beyond everyone's expectations, but at the moment, no one dared to say a word, for fear that the wind of the Mu family would blow on him.

Li Qingyi is almost certain that this new official secretary is a person who has been cultivated by the emperor for a long time, so that almost all of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the six ministries are in the hands of the emperor, and it seems that Wei Shicheng's entry into the cabinet is not without benefits.

The emperor is really shrewd enough.

When Gongsun Wanyan heard the news, her reaction was much more direct, she hooked her fingers and paced a few steps in a tangled way, and asked carefully, "That...... What do we need to do? Do you want to ......?"

"No, I've seen my uncle's evaluation, and there won't be any major problems, you just have to go back and wait."

Qin Zeng's words were undoubtedly a reassuring pill, and Gongsun Wanyan's chest suddenly became tighter, and her breath was even out, "Brother Zhen, my aunt doesn't know how to thank you......

Qin Zeng said, "It's not necessary, my aunt can help me take care of Qingqing more."

Gongsun Wanyan paused, Qin Zeng's words didn't understand, but he understood very well, he paid attention to this matter, and specially went to see Song Zhenhe's evaluation, to see Li Qingyi's face.

She has been a wife for many years, and she has experienced a lot, and she is no longer a boudoir woman from her predecessor, and she said very sensibly when she heard this: "Brother Zhen, don't worry, don't mention the pain of this child, if you don't say it, I will love her everywhere."

Qin Zeng's attitude relaxed a little when he heard this, "In that case, aunt will sit for a while longer, I still have something to do, so I will go to the study to deal with official business first."

It's not early, if it weren't for something at home asking to go to her mother's house, Gongsun Wanyan wouldn't have gone back so late, she got the good news and was going to go back to report the news, but when she heard Qin Zeng ask her to sit again, her ass involuntarily moved back.

"You go and get busy, I'll talk to my niece and daughter-in-law for a while."

Qin Zeng went to the study in the front yard, and Li Qingyi beckoned Xianglan to come with those fruits and snacks, "Aunt Fang Cai doesn't seem to have eaten anything, so it's better to use some snacks."

Gongsun Wanyan was a little surprised that Li Qingyi was so careful, and she was in a mess at the dinner table, and she also noticed herself.
