Chapter 291: Sitting on the Fisherman's Profits
Ji Changye looked at the emperor's more haggard face in recent days, and knew how worried he was about Ji Qirui's affairs, but it was not easy for him to interfere in this matter, so he said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that are better to say, always in your heart, and it is easy to fall ill over time."
"You're right, but I can't speak easily, and that's where I don't get it. Speaking of which, there are some things that still have to be troubled for you to do, and others really can't believe me."
"Your Majesty will not hesitate to open his mouth." Ji Changye opened his mouth respectfully, which was also to show his loyalty, so that the emperor could trust him more.
Listening to his words, the emperor was very satisfied and said, "Since those people can be on the cusp of the crown prince's storm***, it means that they are more or less involved with the prince's party. You go and secretly collect evidence of their crimes, no matter what the crime is, it is their handle, and then we will have the hole cards. When all of them have been collected, and then reveal them to one of them, they will definitely conflict over their own interests, and then they will be able to reap the benefits of the fishermen without us having to go out."
Because those people participated in Xiao Jianyuan's banquet and stood in line with the prince's party, they basically didn't interact with each other before, or they didn't know each other at all, and now they are suddenly in the same camp, they will definitely not be sincere, so as long as they are slightly behind their backs, they will have dog-eat-dog, black-eat-black actions when their interests are touched.
After thinking about the meaning of the emperor's actions, Ji Changye felt that it was a good idea, so he spoke: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, this matter will definitely be handled by the ministers. But when the time comes, who should I reveal it to?" Not to mention that they are not familiar with each other, Ji Changye rarely interacts with these people, and if he doesn't understand their details, he is afraid that it will be self-defeating.
"Don't worry, I've already found a candidate. Taiwei Yu Chong is a wall grass, when you were not in the imperial capital before, the prince of the court and the king of Heyang fought secretly, he paid attention to both places, and befriended him, and when he got the power, he would please which side. If it weren't for the fact that he was involved in too many things, I would never have been able to keep him." Unexpectedly, now, he has also become a breakthrough and can be used by them.
Yu Chong's name, Ji Changye has heard of it. Since the emperor was so sure that he could attack this person, he didn't think much about it.
After leaving the palace, Ji Changye asked Changfeng to investigate Yu Chong, after all, he knew himself and his opponent, and he was invincible in a hundred battles, and only after learning about Yu Chong's living habits could he find an opportunity to reveal these incriminating evidence to him, otherwise he would definitely attract suspicion if he suddenly appeared.
Unexpectedly, after He Yujin learned about this matter, he actually volunteered to go, but Ji Changye was not at ease, after all, Yu Chongke was an old fox, like a person who had no contact with Yujin in political affairs, he would definitely not be able to deal with it, and it would not be good to startle the snake again.
"Brother Ji, don't worry, don't forget, this Yu Chong was my father's subordinate at the beginning, although he used means to climb up, but after all, he has to remember some old feelings, and it is logical for me to find him, right?"
He Yujin's father was kind to Chong, saved him when he was about to starve to death, gave him two silver taels so that he could take the scientific examination, and finally entered the court as an official, at first when Yujin's father was still alive, Yu Chong's sleeves were clear, but he didn't expect that after the death of Yujin's father, he would show his true nature more and more, and no longer pretend, but he still has a lot of respect for Yujin.
Listening to He Yujin's explanation, Ji Changye thought for a moment and felt that it made some sense, so he agreed, but he still didn't feel at ease and said, "If something goes wrong, you must stop the loss in time, don't be caught by him, and let yourself be in danger, you know?" After all, He Yujin is still too young.
"Since he is confident that he wants to go, believe him and let him go." Song Qian suddenly walked in with hot tea and fruit, apparently she had heard a conversation between the two of them.
Because Ji Changye felt that since he and Song Qian had already married, there should be nothing to hide from her, so he was not surprised and panicked about her appearance.
After hearing this, He Yujin immediately agreed with Song Qianlai: "What the second sister-in-law said is good, Brother Ji, you can rest assured." I have also been a prince in the imperial capital for so many years, even if I don't usually participate in court politics, it is impossible to be calculated by those people." He's just pretending not to care about anything on the outside, and he's a hanger
It's just a gentleman who eats the family of the Jin Wangfu for a lifetime, but in fact it's not. Otherwise, how could he be alone in the bloody imperial capital and still be safe and sound?
Ji Changye naturally knew that He Yujin's ability was not small, and seeing that he insisted on going, he didn't say anything more in order not to hit his self-confidence.
He Yujin immediately became happy when he heard this, and hurriedly went back to the Jin Palace, and began to prepare for this matter.
Ji Changye looked at his back and smiled, "After all, it's just a child who hasn't grown up." I really didn't expect that He Yujin would change so much during the time he lived in Sulou Town.
"Is this Your Majesty's intention?" Song Qian asked.
"Yes. Many ministers above the court, regardless of the size of their official positions, are all of a sudden, speaking for the prince openly and secretly, how can Your Majesty not suspect that there is something strange in it? But there are many people involved in this matter, and because their position is not good for punishing them, I want to use this to defeat them." Ji Changye replied.
Song Qian listened to it and thought about it, and felt that the emperor was taking a risk, as long as some of them found out what they had done, it would be known to others, and then Ji Changye and He Yujin, who were investigating in front, would be in danger.
Ji Changye naturally knew what Song Qian was worried about, so he comforted and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, Ah Jin and I are measured in this matter. And since this matter was ordered by His Majesty, I believe that His Majesty will have a countermeasure and will not put me and Ah Jin in danger."
"That's the case, but I'm afraid that those people will secretly do it and take it by surprise, and no one knows what to do?" Song Qian frowned slightly, and then said, "That's it, since you have decided on this matter, it means that the prince is measured, and it is true that I am worried too much." She shouldn't get too involved in it.
Listening to Song Qian's words, Ji Changye hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, Lady Song, I know you care about us. But someone has to do it, and Ah Jin and I can do it more conveniently than everyone else, so let's do it, it's not that we don't take your words to heart."
"Lord Wang, you just misunderstood. I don't think you don't take my words to heart, but I just think that there are too many uncertainties in this matter, and I am worried that something will happen. But now that I think about it, since the prince and Ah Jin are confident, I believe that you don't have to worry about this matter. Okay, don't think about it. Come and taste this fruit, I went to the market with Yuan Bao this morning to pick it up. I'm thinking of coming back and making some dried fruit." Song Qian changed the subject.
Ji Changye also took the opportunity to pick up: "I haven't eaten the dried fruits made by Song Niangzi for a long time, speaking of which, what is Song Niangzi's plan for the dessert shop in Sulou Town?" He also suddenly thought of this matter, after all, they had been away from Sulou Town for such a long time, and the dessert shop had been closed, although now Song Qian had become a princess and stayed in the imperial capital, but it was not a solution for the shop to be abandoned all the time, so it was always necessary to discuss what to do.
In fact, Song Qian often thought about this question, so he replied: "The dessert shop had a good business before, and it was run single-handedly, so it would be a pity if it was closed like this. So I thought about teaching the craft to others, so that they could go back and help watch the dessert shop and reopen, what do you think?" But there is no one to trust, and few people can learn her modern dessert recipe, so what should I do if I smash the sign that I have made so hard to make when the time comes?
"That's a good idea. Then Song Niangzi has a candidate?"
Song Qian shook his head.
Seeing this, Ji Changye thought about it and said, "I will pay attention to this matter, Song Niangzi can rest assured."
This topic ended here, and suddenly Ji Changye thought of Yuanbao's matter and asked, "Yuanbao has a satisfactory teacher?" He originally wanted to let Yuanbao go to the private school of the royal family, but he was afraid that he would not fit in and would be bullied by those princes, but he didn't expect that it would be so difficult to find a teacher now.
Song Qian was also worried about this matter, so he shook his head: "Still not. The child grew more and more withdrawn, and he didn't know what was going on. I thought I didn't take good care of him, but he was no different from me before, but he was so indifferent to others." Could it be that ingots have puberty at such a young age?
Changfeng, who was guarding outside the door, took in the conversation between the two people, and muttered in his heart when he heard Song Qian's words, what else could it be, just because his father was Ji Changye. Ji Changye has also been trusting since he was a child, and the people close to him are smiling, and he is extremely indifferent to those who have no relationship and don't like them. I really didn't expect that the current ingots and Ji Changye are becoming more and more similar.
Ji Changye sighed secretly in his heart, but comforted Song Qian and said, "Later, I will also ask Yuan Bao if he is satisfied with Mr. Teaching, or ask him why he is unwilling to let Mr. Teacher stay. Song Niangzi should stop worrying about this matter." Although he wasn't sure if Yuan Bao would listen to him, Ji Changye still felt that Yuan Bao would not deceive himself, at least he could tell him some things that he didn't dare to say to Song Qian.
Although Song Qian was also a little suspicious of Ji Changye, after all, he and Yuanbao didn't deal with each other before, and Yuanbao was very hostile to him, and now he said that he could tell him what was in his heart, which was really unbelievable. However, looking at Ji Changye's determined appearance, Song Qian didn't say anything and agreed.
Soon, Ji Changye took the time to come to Yuanbao's bedroom.
This is an independent yard with a study and flower beds, and Yuanbao lives very comfortably here.
Before he got closer, Ji Changye saw Yuan Bao sitting in front of the desk under the window of the study and reading, so he slowed down for fear of disturbing him.
However, Yuan Bao had already noticed his arrival, raised his head and asked, "Is there something about the prince's coming?" Although Song Qian was already Ji Changye's wife, he still couldn't call Ji Changye his father, so he called him again and again by the title of the respected prince.
This couldn't help but make Ji Changye a little awkward, in any way, but he didn't show it.
"I've come to see you, I'm bothering you." Ji Changye walked to the window and saw clearly the bamboo slip on the ingots case, which was a scripture.
Yuan Bao closed the book, got up and walked from the study to the courtyard, of course he didn't believe that Ji Changye would come here for no reason.
"If there is something going on with the prince, let's talk about it directly."
