Lanterns were pulled up everywhere in the back garden of the Joyful Villa, and almost all the people in Tianjiao were drunk.
Originally, Jiang Xia was just pretending to be drunk when he was in Jiaole Building, but here in Xiaoyao Villa, he was really drunk.
The next morning, Jiang Xia woke up sleeping in bed, but his last memory was lying on the lawn looking at the sky and muttering: "Jinghong, I'm not coming back, it's good here, I hope you're fine too." ”
Obviously, being able to go back to bed should be the credit of the servants or guards of the Easy Hills.
Looking at the sunlight coming into the house from the window, Jiang Xia estimated that it should not be too early. In this era when there were no watches, Jiang Xia also slowly learned to read the sky.
Yesterday was to go to the Teaching Workshop Division to meet with everyone, and today should be the day when Jiang Xia officially went to the Teaching Workshop Division to start work.
Being late for the first day of work, it was obvious that Mr. Jiang was not a good employee.
A carp in Jiangxia got up from the bed, and he shouted loudly: "Xiaoyu, Xiaocao." The old man got up. ”
"It's coming. Xiao Yu's voice came, and soon the two little maids came with toiletries and Jiang Xia's official uniform. Jiang Xia glanced at the official uniform, with a look of disgust: "If you don't wear an official uniform, just get me a set of civilian clothes." ”
"Can the master go to the yamen without wearing an official uniform? Then who knows that you are an official master?" Xiaocao asked.
Jiang Xia rolled up his sleeves, revealing the four big words "Ru I am here" on his arm and said, "With this." ”
Xiaoyu could recognize a few words, and she read word by word: "If I am here." ”
"Ah, Your Majesty!" Xiao Yu exclaimed and fell to her knees in surprise, Xiaocao, who was still in a daze, didn't understand what was happening, Xiao Yu quickly pulled her to kneel down.
Jiang Xia smiled, put down his sleeves and said, "Okay, hurry up and wait for the master to wash and change clothes, the master is almost late." ”
"It's already late, hehe," Xiaoyu said with a smile.
While Jiang Xia was still washing, the early dynasty in the palace had come to an end. But at this moment, Zhu Houzhao seemed to suddenly remember, and said, "By the way, I have one more thing." In two months is my birthday, so I decided not to create killing karma in the capital before this, and any execution of the death penalty will be postponed until after my birthday. Does the Criminal Department understand?"
Xing Wenlong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, took a step forward and knelt down and saluted: "Weichen understands, Weichen obeys the order. ”
"Okay, retreat. Zhu Houzhao said and got up to leave.
The hundred officials knelt on the ground and shouted "Congratulations to the emperor", and then shouted long live.
After Zhu Houzhao returned to the Qianqing Palace, he immediately asked Zhang Yong to pass Zhong Bin into the palace to see the driver, and Zhang Yong retired after receiving the order.
At this moment, Jiang Xia also happened to put on his clothes and went out of the door, and when he just passed through the back garden, Jiang Xia saw Wang Wenbo and Liang Wenhan who were drinking tea.
Seeing Jiang Xia coming out in a hurry, Wang Wenbo and the others immediately got up and shouted, "Brother Jiang." ”
Jiang Xia stopped and said with a smile: "You guys are comfortable, it's hard for me that I have to rush to the Teaching Department to take office." ”
"Brother Jiang, I have found the house you asked me to help you find. If you have time, come with me. Wang Wenbo said.
"The house. Jiang Xia then remembered that he was going to get married in ten days, but the new house had not yet been settled.
Jiang Xia patted his head and nodded, "Okay, I'll go to see the house with you tomorrow." As for the silver taels, you can go to the Jiuyang Feifeng store to withdraw it yourself. ”
"Understood. Wang Wenbo nodded.
Jiang Xia arched his hand to everyone and said, "What, I'll leave first, I'm late." ”
After speaking, Jiang Xia ran to the front door in a hurry.
Out of the door, Han Mufeng waited there without accident. As soon as Jiang Xia got into the carriage, he shouted: "Jiaofang Division." ”
Han Mufeng shook the whip in his hand, making a crisp sound, and the carriage led the two of them to the Teaching Division.
After arriving at the Teaching Workshop Division, Jiang Xia walked into the Yamen of the Teaching Workshop Division, and Cai Die, Wuyi, Yun Haibo and Yun Haitao were waiting at the door of the Yamen.
After Jiang Xia arrived, he immediately bowed his hand to the four of them: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I drank too much last night, so I was late, and I hope the four of you will forgive me." ”
"Your Excellency's words are serious. The four of them saluted Jiang Xia in unison: "I've seen my lord." ”
Jiang Xia nodded, then pointed to the inside of the yamen and said, "Let's go, let's talk inside." ”
"Yes. ”
The five of them walked into the yamen of the teaching workshop together, and Caidie led Jiang Xia to a room that looked like a study and a conference hall, thinking that this was his Fengluan's office.
Entering the room, Caidie pointed to the Taishi chair behind a long pear blossom wood case and said, "My lord, this is your position." ”
Jiang Xia nodded, then walked to his position and sat down.
He glanced at the four of them and said, "You guys can also sit down, and each of you will introduce to me the situation of our Teaching Workshop Division." ”
"Yes, sir. The four of them replied in unison.
Caidie came out first and said, "My lord, there are currently 2,500 people in the Teaching Division, excluding us. Among them, there were 90 musicians, 820 geishas, 1,005 prostitutes, and the rest were guards, cooks, maids, servants, dusters, night incense and other handymen. ”
"Yesterday, after the adults asked us to release the news of recruiting artists and agents, we received one hundred and twenty-one applications to join the artist, and two hundred and eleven people signed up to join the agent, and the rest of the more than 700 people want to be your secretary. Mai Yi said.
"More than 700 people want to be my secretary?" Jiang Xia was startled at first, and then couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva. There is a way to do something secretary, and if you have nothing to do, you can be a secretary. There are more than 700 people competing for such a position, isn't that the same concept as a beauty pageant?
However, after thinking about it, Jiang Xia felt that he didn't have the energy to choose a secretary, so he thought about it and said, "Are there any better ones among the more than 700 people?"
Among them, Xueyi in the twelve golden hairpins and Shangguan Ziyue in the four major Oiran also signed up. "Yunhai Bodao.
The man really understands the man best, and as soon as he says the best, he immediately understands that Jiang Xia's excellence refers to "appearance", so he is talking about either a golden hairpin or an oiran.
Jiang Xia thought about it, he would definitely have a lot of things to communicate with Shangguan Ziyue in the future, and if he always went to her, he might be misunderstood, so he just pushed the boat down the river and let her be the secretary.
Jiang Xia said to Yun Haibo: "Well, then let Shangguan Ziyue come." Then I will register the girls who apply to join the artist, and I will let them interview when "A Chinese Ghost Story" is cast. In addition, the agent also registered, and they will only start to come in handy after the performance of "A Chinese Ghost Story". Okay, you go and help me call Yun Yunyu in, and I'll see if I can give my heroine first. ”
"Yes. The four of them were ordered to leave.
After the four of them retreated, Jiang Xia was left alone in the room, and suddenly Jiang Xia heard footsteps, and he estimated that after the person came to the door, he said loudly: "Just push the door in." ”
"Ahh The person outside the door was visibly startled and snorted softly.
Pushing open the door, it was Shangguan Ziyue who walked in.
Seeing Shangguan Ziyue looking at him nervously, wanting to ask but not daring to ask, Jiang Xia couldn't help but smile. He nodded and said, "Don't worry, your father will be fine for the time being." The emperor has decided to send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly, and if he finds evidence that can prove your father's innocence, then the emperor will rehabilitate your father. ”
"Really?" Shangguan Ziyue snorted excitedly, she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Jiang Xia, "Thank you, thank you, thank you."
"No" Jiang Xia suddenly heard another footsteps, Jiang Xia immediately lowered his voice and said, "Okay, someone is coming, get up first, and we will discuss this matter later." ”
"Good. Shangguan Ziyue stood up and walked to the side to stand.
There was a knock on the door, and Jiang Xia said, "Come in." ”
After Yun Yunyu walked into the house, she was not as generous as yesterday, she looked at Jiang Xia, and the resentment in her eyes was about to pierce Jiang Xia.
"Why? Why are you so ruthless?"
Yun Yunyu's eyes turned red as she spoke, and tears swirled in her eyes.
"They didn't get together in the end, why are you so ruthless?"
"Eh" Jiang Xia was speechless, it was obvious that Yun Yunyu was fascinated by reading the script. He could only stubbornly explain: "People and ghosts have different paths, and it is providence that they cannot be together." However, Xiaoqian was finally reincarnated, and I believe that there are destined lovers to become dependents in the end, and they will still be together. ”
"Then you have to write it out, and say that they got married later. Yun Yunyu spoke with a hint of crying, she took out the silk scarf in her sleeve and gently wiped away the tears that were about to fall.
Jiang Xia nodded, and quickly changed the topic: "How? Do you have a feeling for that script? If there is, then let's try the play first, and then start casting." ”
"Yes. I must play the role of Nie Xiaoqian. Yun Yunyu said firmly.
"Without further ado, let's find a quiet place to play against each other. ”
Imperial Palace, in the Qianqing Palace.
Zhang Yong walked in with Zhong Bin, Zhong Bin knelt down to Zhu Houzhao and saluted: "See the emperor for your humble position." ”
"Flatten. ”
Zhu Houzhao handed the copy of Shangguan Zheng written in his hand to the little eunuch beside him, and motioned for him to hand it over to Zhong Bin.
The little eunuch took it and sent it to Zhong Bin, who stood up and took the fold. After he glanced at it a few times, Zhu Houzhao said: "This is a big thing, and I must find someone I trust the most to do it." Jiang Xia recommended you in front of me, and I believe in Jiang Xia, so I also believe in you. I hope you will go to Yunnan and try to find the evidence and come back as soon as possible. Yunnan's brocade guards are at your disposal, and I am waiting for your good news. ”
"Yes, humiliation. Zhong Bin said.
Zhu Houzhao handed a handwritten letter to the little eunuch beside him, and then the little eunuch sent it to Zhong Bin. Zhu Houzhao said: "Remember clearly, you don't have much time, and after three months, no matter whether you succeed or fail, you must immediately return to Beijing to resume your life." ”
"Obedience. Zhong Bin took the command and said.
"Alright, let's go back and get ready, and then let's set off on the road. Zhu Houzhao waved his hand.
Zhong Bin knelt down on one knee and said, "Retire from your humble position." ”
Zhu Houzhao issued a reasonable decree that all the executions of death row prisoners before his birthday should be suppressed, and on the surface, this matter seems to have nothing to do with anything, and it is very normal and ordinary.
But this incident has caused a lot of chain reactions, and the best thing that neurosensitive politicians are best at is to draw inferences from one case and see the smallest things. Of course, to put it bluntly, it is suspicious.
Zhuo Mansion. Den.
There are many people with the surname Zhuo among the Jingshi, but there is only one that everyone knows about Zhuo Mansion, that is, the extraordinary mansion of Zhuo, the right capital of the Imperial Inspectorate.
At this moment, there are two people in Zhuo Fei's study besides him, one is Zeng Xin, the right deputy envoy, and the other is Sun Yu, the right envoy.
The right deputy envoy is a member of the third grade, and the right envoy is the fourth grade. There may be many people who don't understand what kind of official position the right envoy is.
This position is second only to the left and right deputy envoys in terms of authority, and is often tasked with going to various provinces to inspect military affairs, taxation, and civil affairs.
These three people are already extremely powerful in the Ming Dynasty, but at this time, the three of them are all frowning.
Zhuo Feifei said: "No, it's a little unusual." In the past, there has never been a precedent for postponing all executions on the emperor's birthday, so why is there such a thing this year?"
"The emperor has always believed in Buddhism, and it may be a matter of interest, are we too much of a bow and snake. Zeng Xin.
Zhuo Feifei shook his head, his small eyes narrowed into a slit, he reached out and stroked his chin chic long beard, and said in a low voice: "It's too much of a coincidence, it's too much of a coincidence." Seeing that Shangguan was about to be executed, the emperor suddenly postponed the execution for this reason.
I heard that Shangguan Zheng's daughter was assigned to the Teaching Workshop Division, and it was such a coincidence that Jiang Xia, the champion of Jinke, joined the Teaching Workshop Division as Fengluan.
A champion of the Golden Branch, and extremely appreciated by the emperor, but he entered the Teaching Workshop Division as a small Jiupin Fengluan, which is very unusual in itself. The day after taking office, the emperor suddenly announced the postponement of the execution, so as to temporarily exempt Shangguan Zhengyi from death, which is even more unusual. There's something tricky about this. ”
"What do you mean, what does the emperor know?" Sun Yu looked surprised.
"It's been three years, and that Shangguan Zheng is really a hundred-legged insect that is dead but not stiff. Seeing that he was about to die, he could still turn the wind and waves. Zeng Xin said angrily.
Zhuo Feifei's slender eyes suddenly opened, and he shook his head and said, "No, we can't delay it any longer." The emperor must already know something, maybe he has already sent spies to Yunnan.
We couldn't delay it any longer, and we originally thought that Shangguan was in the capital and couldn't make any waves, so we ignored him. But now that the storm has come, let him not be left behind. Kill him, and his daughter in the Sect Division, and you can't let him go. ”
"Understood. Zeng Xin got up and said: "Leave this matter to me to do, I will definitely do it beautifully, leaving no trace." ”
Zhuo Feifei sighed, shook his head and said, "If you do it, there will definitely be traces." It's just that we can't leave evidence, and without evidence, even if the emperor suspects us, we have nothing to do with us. ”
"That is, if something happens to all three of us, then those people in Yunnan may not live long. I think we still sent a letter to them, reminding them to pay attention during this time. Sun Yu said.
Zhuo Feifei thought for a while and said, "Finally, let them communicate with the people of Jinyiwei, and if there are people from Jingshi, they should be more careful." ”
"Yes!" Sun Yu replied.
