Ning Yi entered the palace early in the morning, and there were already rumors in the palace that the eldest prince Yuan Zhen suddenly contracted a serious illness and passed away last night.

When he was at the gate of the palace, he met Fang Xianrong.

Fang Xianrong was old and walked very slowly, so he called him when he walked to the palace gate.

Ning Yi stopped his pace and watched Fang Xianrong trotting over.

"Lord Fang."

Fang Xianrong's face turned a little red: "Lord Ning, it's a shame that you reminded me yesterday!" ”

Ning Yi smiled faintly and said, "Everyone is an official in the same dynasty, so naturally we have to take care of each other." ”

"That's right, that's right!"

Because the eldest prince passed away last night, there is no early dynasty today.

When Ning Yi went to see the emperor, Emperor Jinghe was summoning several ministers of the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard that the emperor was like him, he and Fang Xianrong went in together.

The Ministry of Rites is talking to Emperor Jinghe about the funeral of the eldest prince.

According to the emperor's meaning, Yuan Zhen was buried with the prince's ceremony, and the eldest prince was not buried in the imperial mausoleum, but in the cemetery surrounded by the royal family far away from the imperial mausoleum.

The secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the left and right attendants were all stunned, and when the eldest prince was alive, he was quite prestigious in the court. He is the queen's concubine, and he has also made a lot of contributions in the past. According to the etiquette, the emperor should posthumously crown the prince and do it with the prince's funeral.

Even if the prince's funeral is held, it should be buried in the imperial mausoleum.

Shang Shu'an of the Ministry of Rites is also an upright person, and he bluntly said what he thought.

Emperor Jinghe's face was not very good, and when he heard An Yiyan, he immediately said, "I have not given any title to Yuan Zhen, and there is no posthumous title after death." ”

"Yuan Zhen's funeral, just do what I say, and don't discuss it anymore."

An felt that something was wrong, and thought to herself that the rumor that the eldest prince was also imprisoned because of the Rong family's case, is it true. Could it be the death of the eldest prince, and there is another inside story?

He looked at Fang Xianrong and saw that Fang Xianrong didn't even raise his head, and then looked at Ning Yi as if he didn't care about himself.

He had no choice but to say, "The minister's order." ”

In different places, the officials of the Ministry of Shangshu asked the canal, Ning Rong, the Marquis of Ningguo, Liu Shiyuan, and Zhang Hongwen, the prime ministers, all arrived.

Emperor Jinghe called several important ministers over, nothing more than to discuss who should be selected for the post of secretary of the Ministry of War.

In fact, all the courtiers knew that the emperor had already made a decision in his heart, and after pretending to recommend him.

Emperor Jinghe finally made a decision to appoint Ning Rong as the secretary of the military department.

However, Emperor Jinghe immediately announced that Ning Yi was the governor of the five cities, Liu Lianjiang was the commander of the Shenji Battalion, and Wei Tingping was the deputy commander of the Shenji Battalion.

Ning Rong was appointed as the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the other ministers were not surprised.

The governor of the five cities is an official position, and he is in control of the safety of Dong'an City. Ning Zijiu is only twenty, and he actually takes on this important position.

Liu Shiyuan wanted to speak, but saw that Emperor Jing He's eyes were full of cold light. Thinking that the eldest prince had just died of illness, the emperor must be in a bad mood. The emperor has just been kind to himself, don't anger the Sacred Heart.

The other courtiers thought to themselves, Ning Yi had indeed made great contributions recently. He is the emperor's son-in-law, and he has a close relationship with the prince, looking at the emperor's appearance, it's better not to touch the head.

So, all the ministers received the decree.

After the emperor announced it, he immediately asked An to write an edict.

Ning Rong wanted to go to the military department immediately to take up his post, so Ning Zijiu had no choice but to go to the governor of the five cities to take up his post first, and then go back to the Shenji Camp to hand over to Liu and Liu Lianjiang.

Liu Lianjiang acted tactfully, and his speech was even more subtle. He went to the Shenji Camp to hand over to Ning Zijiu, and he was extremely courteous to Ning Zijiu, and even asked Ning Zijiu's opinion on everything.

However, in two days, Ning Yi had already completed the handover with Liu Lianjiang.

It stands to reason that the death of the eldest prince should be a great event. Who knew that in Dong'an City, a series of official transfers overshadowed the matter.

Because the emperor said to do it as soon as possible, it is best to finish it before the Mid-Autumn Festival. So on the second day after announcing his death, Yuan Zhen was buried in a cemetery of the imperial family under the auspices of two attendants of the Ministry of Rites.

There was no talk of it, and no one asked.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Jingping takes the lord of Ling'an back to live in the Hou Mansion.

After living with Jing Ping for two days, Ling An didn't seem to be so afraid, and probably felt that her aunt should not want her life.

As soon as she returned to the Hou Mansion, the ladies in the mansion welcomed a courtyard.

Jingping took the old lady into the house and asked Mama Wu to pick up Ling'an and go in with her.

Recently, there have been many happy events in the Ning family, Ning Lan was named the crown princess, although the date of marriage has not been decided, the Zhang family has already made a dowry in Zhang Luo Ninglan and so on.

Now Rong Nanshan has been appointed as the secretary of the military department, although it is a transfer at the same level, but the secretary of the military department has entered the cabinet, and from this point of view, he has been promoted.

What's even more pleasing is that Zijiu was promoted to the governor of the five cities, which is a jump of several levels!

So the Ning Mansion was beaming, and the old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile.

Jingping and the ladies of the Ning family accompanied the old lady for a long time, and the first thing to say was how to do the Mid-Autumn Festival? Later, he talked about Ning Lan as the crown princess, Ning Hua sent a letter to the family, and so on.

After talking for a long time, the old lady sent the other ladies away, even Ning Lan and the others.

Jingping saw the old lady's posture, so he asked Wu'er and Liu'er Lian Wu Mama to take Ling'an back to Jingqin Pavilion to rest.

For a while, only she and the old lady were left.

"Grandmother, but have something to tell me?"

"There's something." The old lady looked a little hesitant, but after thinking about it, she said, "Because the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now the Ning family is very thin, I just thought, should I take your mother back from the temple for the festival?" ”

"......" Jingping smiled lightly as she listened, "I should ask my father about this, and my grandmother shouldn't ask me." ”

"I asked your father, and he said I was in charge. In fact, your mother acted out of tune, which made the Ning family ugly, and it stands to reason that she should be allowed to wake up. The old lady said.

"What my grandmother said is that my father had just become the secretary of the military department, and my mother made a big mistake in front of my father and mother. As soon as my father joined the cabinet, he immediately brought back his mother, who had made a mistake, for fear that it would cause criticism. ”

"If a minister comes to my father, it won't be good." Jing Ping's analysis of the facts.

"I still want the princess to be thoughtful."

The old lady said and sighed again, "It's just that your father is now the secretary of the military department, so you can't have a serious lady by your side." Your mother doesn't care, and she can't let your father be alone all the time. ”

The old lady was very worried, in fact, she didn't arrange someone for her son, but her son didn't seem to be interested in it, and he didn't even touch the girl who arranged it.

Jingping immediately understood that this was the purpose of the old lady, she wanted to be the master of taking a concubine for her father-in-law.

"Grandmother is right, now that my father is in a high position, and my father is reused, there is no serious lady around, and it is inevitable that people will discuss it privately." Jingping Road.

"It's just that if my father really accepts Mrs. Ru, I am afraid that my father will know that he will be spoiled by his father and kill his wife, which is a taboo for my father."

Now Ning Rong's backyard is indeed in trouble.

It stands to reason that Chen's mistakes can be suspended. But if the Chen family is divorced, how will Ning Zhi and Ning Yi deal with themselves?

Ning Yi is a colt, first of all, the royal family can't get through here.

If you don't stop, accepting a flat wife or a lady will also cause criticism, which is really a dilemma.
