Speaking of which, it's time for Shen Yi to come. Su Cheng went to Zichen Hall to report three things to Emperor Longzheng.

Among them, he put Xu Li's news in the third item, which is his habit, and the important things are left for the most detailed explanation at the end.

No, just after finishing the second thing, Shen Yi arrived. Su Cheng left Xu Li's news to him.

Su Cheng is the slave of the Son of Heaven, and he knows much more about the energy of Tongzhou than Shen Yi. Although the old lady is also in her nineties, she is deaf and clear-sighted, and she is definitely not an existence that will be fooled by future generations.

Then it is intriguing that she participated in such a major event that kills ordinary people.

Emperor Long Zheng didn't have time to ponder the careful thinking of his two intelligence leaders now, and he had a headache now.

"Go down first." Emperor Long Zheng waved his hand. drove Su Cheng and the others out.

After pushing the contradiction to Emperor Longzheng, Jia Lian easily completed the day's work. There are too many old monsters in this era, Mrs. Fengsheng in Jinling, Jiang Ze in Shenjing, Princess Changqing in Tongzhou, Guangzhou in the south, and one more terrifying. Jia Lian thinks that with such a small body as him, it's better not to be too positive.

But there was no way, and when he was about to release the ya, an order from the palace still called him into the harem.

Wang Xifeng had another ordinary and busy day today, but in the afternoon, a foreign steward from the Rong Mansion suddenly came to Rongxi Hall to see her.

"What?" Wang Xifeng looked at this for a long time before he remembered that he should be from Cuizhu's family. That's right, it was the person in the room before Jia Lian's marriage, and on the night she and Jia Lian got married, Jia Lian walked through the wrong door and walked to the cuizhu in the cuizhu room.

Although it was later learned that it was a misunderstanding. also knows that Cuizhu is actually an honest person. But since the heart knot exists, Wang Xifeng can't tolerate her. Jia Lian was consciously connived, and Wang Xifeng married Cuizhu to a widowed foreign steward, Laien.

By the way, to be precise, it should be called Cuizhu's family.

"It's Lai'en, you have always been busy with foreign affairs, I heard that the second master is now very dependent on you, and most of the outside affairs are handed over to you. It is a few points more important than Laiwang. ”

Laien was originally a small steward of Rongguo Mansion, because he didn't like the original big steward Lai Da, a person in his thirties, and he has always been in charge of things like cleaning and taking out garbage.

Later, he married Cuizhu, Jia Lian remembered the old love, and promoted him very much, and when the Lai family, the Zhou family, and the Lin family were taken down, Lai En took over the original Lin Zhixiao's work.

However, Lai'en is a loyal person, and he knows that it was Jia Lian and his wife who promoted him. So he insisted on following Jia Lian's instructions.

Jia Lian's side, now in addition to the Qing'er who follows him, the first thing he has to use is Lai'en. There is also a Laiwang, which was brought by Wang Xifeng from the Wang family, and he also married the maid of the Jia family.

"I heard that you have been in charge of the back garden during this time, and you came to me today, but is there something?" Wang Xifeng originally just asked casually, Jia Lian handed over the matter of the garden to Jia Yun, and Wang Xifeng didn't ask again.

"Second grandmother, the old slave came this time for this."

"Oh, where is the garden useful for me?" Wang Xifeng was really puzzled, supposedly, Jia Lian didn't say hello, but there was no place to show up by himself.

"Before Master Yun went to Jiangnan, the second master arranged for the second master of the East Mansion to have a garden. He had instructed that if there was anything difficult to solve, he could come to Rongxi Hall to find you when he was away. ”

"Oh, what's the matter that Brother Qiang can't solve?" Jia Lian arranged for Jia Qiang to temporarily prime minister Yuanzi Wang Xifeng knew, and for this matter, Jia Rong also ran to Rongxi Hall to complain to her.

However, Wang Xifeng understands Jia Lian's choice, after all, Jia Rong is the heir of the Eastern Mansion, and the stakes are too big to move lightly. Jia Qiang doesn't have this scruples.

"That's right, Second Grandma. I also want to start with the master craftsman Shan Yezi who presided over the garden construction for our family. He is the first-class garden construction master of Dazheng, and he is the only one in Manshenjing. was invited by our family, but the Wu family was not invited.

In addition, although the Wu family is a Dali temple, their own financial resources are far inferior to ours. Therefore, the progress of the garden built by the Wu family outside the city is far less than that of our family. ”

"Isn't that great?" Wang Xifeng didn't hear anything wrong.

Lai En smiled bitterly: "That's the case, but the Wu family saw that they were so far behind us, and they played a trick behind their backs, and just received the news that a cart of timber prepared for the garden was intercepted by the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, and even the people and cars were detained." ”

"What!" Wang Xifeng stood up suddenly: "What is the reason? ”

As a serious Mrs. Rongguo, Wang Xifeng can have access to a lot of foreign affairs. Jia Lian Pingsu will also tell her some information that she needs to know. After all, there are many things, and many times, it is necessary for the Lady of the Decree to come forward.

Therefore, Wang Xifeng knew very well that without enough reasons, Qiu Liang would not dare to intercept the goods of Rongguofu.

Lai En also smiled bitterly: "The imperial history of Dali Temple reported that there were contraband in our goods. Solid evidence was presented. ”

"What contraband?" Wang Xifeng became curious.

"Golden Silk Nanmu!"

Da Zheng had a rule that was different from other dynasties, that is, it was forbidden for anyone other than the Heavenly Family to use golden silk nanmu. Therefore, the discovery of golden silk nanmu in the building materials of Rongguo Mansion is indeed prohibited.

Wang Xifeng's face became grim. This can be a big or small thing, but it can be very cumbersome to deal with. Although it will not hurt the foundation of Rongguofu, if the law enforcement department deliberately, it will not be a problem to delay for a few months.

Wang Xifeng frowned: "Then do we use golden silk nanmu or not." "This is particularly important and will determine what happens next. And Wang Xifeng remembered that he had indeed seen golden silk nanmu on the construction site of Jiajiayuanzi.

"Yes, there is, but this is reported to the Soshoji Temple and the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Because we are building a provincial hospital, the main building of the courtyard is for the concubine Niangniang.

In the future, when the province is over, it will have to be closed. It can only be opened the next time the concubine comes again, so you can use the golden silk nanmu. ”

"Since this is the case, then it is not enough to let the Five Cities Terracotta Division and Dali Temple send people to see it. Although his Wu family is Dali Siqing, my Jia family is not easy to bully. I don't believe that he Wu Tian can still reverse black and white.

Besides, the provincial courtyard built by the Wu family outside the city has also begun to build the main building, don't they use golden silk nanmu?

Laien, what are you worried about? Let's get straight to the point, I don't have that much time to talk nonsense with you! ”

Lai'en was shocked in his heart, and the second grandmother was really extraordinary: "Second grandmother, we did it." But there are two problems.

First, the Wu family questioned that we used Jin Si Nan not only in the main building, but also in other places. Naturally, we also questioned the Wu family. Then the Five Cities Terracotta Division required the two governments to stop work at the same time and wait for inspection in accordance with the rules. This is undoubtedly beneficial to the Wu family.

Second, I just looked at it with Shan Yezi, and in addition to the main building, there are two other places in the garden that do use golden silk nanmu. And the amount is a lot, if we dismantle it, it will be very troublesome to rework, and if it is reworked, it will be seen by the imperial history, and it is even more difficult to speak. ”

Wang Xifeng walked back and forth several times, and suddenly calmed down: "Let all the work in the garden be stopped, so all the construction personnel will withdraw and monitor it temporarily."

In addition, send someone to the yamen to see if the second master is there. ”

Lane nodded, turned around and went out to make arrangements. Wang Xifeng himself tried to think about what Jia Lian had told him before.

The illegal use of golden silk nanmu can be big or small. If it must be investigated, it is a sin of transgression. It is possible to remove the knight.

Of course, the dignified Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian is just popular, and the saint is prosperous. It is absolutely impossible to be removed from the knighthood because of such a trivial matter, at most it will be applied for by the emperor, and no matter how much it is, Yuan Chun in the palace will lose the first opportunity to go out of the palace and save his relatives.

Wang Xifeng didn't care about this, and she believed that Jia Lian didn't care either. But what needs to be considered is how those places were used in golden silk nanmu.

"Come on, please come to the master of Shanyezi. In addition, please come when you see that the tongueless offering is not there, and is there. ”

Wang Xifeng has always been well protected by Jia Lian, but it doesn't mean that she can't stand things. Since he was a child, he was raised as a boy, and he thought that he was not a woman and did not let his eyebrows be shaved. She hadn't been afraid of any intrigues.

Jia Lian entered the palace and was taken to Fengzao Palace again.

This time, Yuan Chun was not here. Since being canonized as a virtuous concubine and becoming one of the best existences under the queen in the palace, Yuan Chun has also become the lord of the first palace and is in charge of Yanxi Palace. and Concubine Wu, who is in charge of Chuxiu Palace, is opposite to Fengzao Palace.

However, because he was named the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, it is actually equivalent to having the power of the six palaces of the assistant. Therefore, during the day, Yuan Chun usually stays in Fengzao Palace to assist the queen in handling complicated palace affairs.

"Don't look at it, your eldest sister is not feeling well today and has taken a leave. Concubine Wu was here just now, but the emperor knew that you were coming, so let her go back first. ”

Jia Lian scratched his head, why did he feel so awkward: "Emperor, I don't know what you ordered you to call me over." Besides, I'm in my twenties, and I have four children, so let's see if we're in Zichen Hall next time. ”

Emperor Long Zheng laughed when he heard this, but Queen Song glared at him: "What, come to this palace, I wronged you?" ”

"Niangniang, how dare the minister, but this harem is not a place where a foreign man like a minister should come, you see that because the minister is here, the emperor has to let Concubine Wu avoid it, and it's not suitable."

Emperor Longzheng glanced at Empress Song, scolded Jia Lian with a smile, and then began to get down to business: "Jia Lian, today I want you to enter the palace for the sake of Xu Li's case." ”

Hearing that she was going to talk about business, Empress Song saluted Emperor Longzheng and left. As soon as he walked out of the door, his eyes that had a gentle smile flashed with two inexplicable lights.

"Xia Shouzhong, is the news accurate?" Empress Song asked the head of Fengzao Palace, the eunuch of the six palaces.

"Yes, Niangniang, it is said that the emperor is very persistent, but Jiuhua Palace has always disagreed, and the emperor is very angry about this."

Empress Song nodded, glanced at the room again, nodded and left.

"Emperor, what's wrong with Xu Li's case?" Jia Lian decided to pretend to be stupid first. What if it works?

Emperor Longzheng glanced at Jia Lian: "If you don't pretend to me, I don't need to check to know that Shen Yi must have seen you before he came to see me." Even blame me for this, which you taught him. ”

Jia Lian was dumbfounded, he never imagined that Emperor Long Zheng would say such a thing, as if he had made a confession after Shen Yi had been tortured. Fucking accurate.

"The emperor sees thousands of miles, and the ministers admire it." Now that it has been exposed, Jia Lian does not intend to quibble. Sycophants come first.

It's one thing to hide it from the emperor, but if the emperor knows about it and deny it, it's a bully.

Emperor Longzheng was most satisfied with Jia Lian precisely because of this. If it weren't for Jia Lian's outlier, Rongning Jia's family, he would definitely be killed.

No way, the Jia family is too special. As an emperor, Emperor Longzheng knew many secrets that even historians did not know.

When Jia Daishan was at his peak, there was the words of the Zheng family and the Jia family. This is known to everyone, but what the world doesn't know is that the Holy Ancestor once said to Jia Daishan: "In this world, I and Qing share, my Zheng family is responsible for governance, and your Jia family is responsible for protection." ”

The influence of the Jia family in the army can be seen.

Later, although the descendants of the Jia family were not good, as long as the Jia family was still there, this influence was there. The Vermilion Bird Battle Flag and the Black Cloud Clan Emblem of the Rongguo Jia Family will always be legends in the Great Zheng Army.

Moreover, the ability of the descendants of the Jia family to die is still first-class. He has ascended the throne, but no one in the Jia family is willing to be loyal to him.

Jia Jing of Dongfu was a confidant of Emperor Taishang, and later found out that the palace of King Yizhong was unclear. Although Jia Zhen is a waste, she is also very close to the Yizhong Palace.

Xifu Jia Zheng is just a waste, but he is in charge of the family business, and he gave birth to a son who was born with a jade title.

Who would have known that after learning the news of the birth of the Jia family's piece of jade, Emperor Longzheng had been unable to sleep at night more than once, and he was furious for the Jia family's ignorance. even drafted the holy decree over and over again, intending to desperately lock up the two mansions of the Jia family and destroy them all.

But in the end, Emperor Long Zheng controlled the surging killing intent in his heart. Because he knows very well that no matter what, it is not a good thing to kill meritorious people without authorization, or even the national honor family.

He is not Liu Bang, nor is he the founding ancestor, and he does not have such a high prestige to control the backlash of the military.

Especially when Jiuhua Palace is still there, he will not allow himself to kill the descendants of the Jia family, after all, when his father was in the most difficult time, he received Jia Daishan's help.

Therefore, Emperor Long Zheng did not make a move in the end, of course, because of this, when he knew that someone was plotting against the Jia family, he did not stop it.

Jia Lian's appearance changed all this, and as soon as he debuted, he stood on his side clearly. Now that he has become his confidant, although the prestige of the Jia family has increased again, this prestige has now become the emperor's help.

And Jia Lian never does things behind Emperor Longzheng's back. Although he was often bold, he did it rightly.

As he himself said, he doesn't want to deceive the king. As long as Jia Lian remembers these four words, he always maintains this kind of open-mindedness.

Emperor Longzheng was willing to have a relationship with Jia Lian for a lifetime.
