marquis of jingan

Chapter 115 Jiankang Yin

After Shen Yi returned to the palace, he had a meal with his father, and talked about the little maid in the morning. After making sure that there was no problem, he went back to the guest room to rest.

After returning to the guest room, Shen Yi lit the stove in the room with the wooden blocks sent by the little maid, and the room became warm immediately.

These exquisite fire charcoals are actually just the low configuration of the guest rooms of Jinwang Mansion.

As long as you live in the guest room, just say hello, someone will come over with a bucket full of bath water, and as long as Shen Yi is willing, you can also find a little girl like the little maid in the morning to come over to "warm the bed".

After all, this twelfth lunar month is really too cold.

Of course, Mr. Shen neither understands these services of Prince Jin's Mansion at present, nor does he have such thoughts at all. After lighting the stove, he made some hot water himself, washed up briefly, lit a lamp, and dug out Master Lu. Before parting with Mr. Qin, I began to carefully read the few "examination materials" that I gave him.

After all, the main purpose of his coming to Jiankang this time is for the exam, and the review should still be done, and the cart should not be put before the horse.

Shen Yi's foundation is very solid, and he is already familiar with books such as the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, so he doesn't need to carry them with him, so this time he only brought these exam materials, as well as some annotations on the classics by great sages of past dynasties.

At this time, in the cold winter and the first month of the lunar year, Mr. Shen was lighting the stove in the Prince Jin's mansion, reading at night with a lamp, which was quite romantic.

While Shen was studying in the guest room in the backyard, a sedan chair slowly stopped at the main entrance of the front yard of Jinwang Mansion. After the sedan chair stopped, a middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old and dressed in purple stepped out After walking out, the middle-aged man stepped out of the sedan chair and walked towards the gate of Prince Jin's Mansion.

At this moment, the gate of the Prince's Mansion is still closed, but the side door has already been opened. After seeing the middle-aged man, several leaders and concierges at the gate of the Prince's Mansion bowed respectfully.

"I have seen the lord!"

This middle-aged man was none other than Jin Wang Li Rui of the Great Chen Dynasty.

This prince of Jin is the brother of the late emperor, who was only less than one year younger than the late emperor. When the late emperor died of a sudden illness six years ago, many ministers in the court thought that the prince was young and wanted to invite Jin Wang Li Rui to take over the court , became the new emperor of Da Chen.

However, the first emperor left an edict to pass on the throne, coupled with the tough attitude of the Queen Mother, Xiangguo Yang Jingzong did not want an adult prince to take the throne for his own power, so this matter did not come true in the end, and Dachen’s throne was still at that time The prince, who was nearly ten years old, succeeded.

Faced with the salutes of these servants, Prince Jin was expressionless and walked into his palace. Just as he walked to the front yard of the palace, a young man in purple came up to him.

The young man looked eighteen or nineteen years old, with a handsome appearance, and at the same time carried a bit of nobility that could not be concealed.

"Father, you are back..."

This young man is none other than Li Mu, the eldest son of Prince Jin's Mansion.

Although Prince Jin is younger than the first emperor, he gave birth earlier than the first emperor. This son of Prince Jin is three years older than Da Chen today. It is also for this reason that when the imperial power was handed over six years ago, , Prince Jin will become a popular candidate.

And there is a reason why His Royal Highness is here to welcome his father.

This afternoon, Jin Wang Li Rui was called into the palace by the emperor. He stayed in the palace compound for a whole afternoon before returning to the mansion. His father was interviewed by the emperor. Naturally, there was something wrong. That's why his son Li Mu cared so much. When Dad came home, he immediately came to greet him.

Prince Jin looked up at his son, and after a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "Speak in the study."

The prince bowed his head respectfully: "Yes."

Ever since, the father and son stepped forward and came to the study of Prince Jin's mansion. At this time, the stove was lit in the study. After entering the study, Prince Jin took off his robe, threw it aside, and sat on his own chair.

After sitting down, Jin Wangfu closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before calming down slowly.

Li Mu lowered his head, poured a cup of tea for his father, and then asked, "Father, what is your Majesty looking for you for?"

"For his pro-government affairs."

Jin Wangfu lowered his head, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "The little guy has turned 16 years old, and it's time to take over Chaogang Sheji. Last year, he signaled openly and secretly to let Yang Jingzong go away. This year, he is also old. Naturally, we must prepare to completely take over the government."

Li Mu also sat down. He looked at his father and asked, "But what does this have to do with you?"

After "losing the election" six years ago, Prince Jin has been silent. He has spent most of the six years in the palace without any public office.

If it wasn't for the fact that the land of San Jin had already fallen into the hands of Northern Qi, the court would have already let him, the king of Jin, go to the land of Jin and become a vassal.

Therefore, logically speaking, the affairs of the court have nothing to do with His Royal Highness King Jin, but the emperor invited him to the palace again today. long time.

"Originally, it has nothing to do with being a father."

Prince Jin sat on the chair, glanced at his son, and said slowly: "But today, the emperor, please come over for the father, saying that as the father and the clan, he should take a little responsibility for the court..."

His Royal Highness understood. He looked at his father and said slowly, "Your Majesty... wants you to become an official. What is it?"

Prince Jin lowered his eyebrows slightly, and spit out three words.

"Jiankang Yin."

Although Jiankang Yin still has Jiankang in his name, Jiankang is now the actual capital of Dachen. This so-called Jiankang Yin is actually Jing Zhaoyin.

The real position of this errand is a third-rank official, but the real power is not small. Not only can he manage the big and small things in the capital, but he can also control the prefectures in the capital, which means that several prefectures, including Jiangdu Prefecture, are under the jurisdiction of Jiankang Yin .

This is a position of great importance. Generally speaking, one who can sit in this position must be the emperor's cronies, or the cronies of those in power.

For example, the current Jiankang Yin is a student of Yang Jingzong Yang Xiangguo.

His Royal Highness frowned, looked at his father, and said in a low voice, "Father, why is he so generous all of a sudden?"

Prince Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "What else could be the reason? After the emperor left, Old Man Yang has been in control of the government for too long, and now he wants to clear Old Man Yang's power, it is not a matter of one day, especially For Jian Kangyin's position, he needs someone who won't gossip."

"Obviously, being the father is the candidate."

His Royal Highness sat opposite his father, and after a moment of silence, he said in a low voice: "Father, six years ago, the child was 13 years old, and he was ten years old. It is not impossible for him not to forget the things that the child remembers. It stands to reason that he should not say anything to the father." So rest assured."

Prince Jin frowned first, then sighed slightly.

"Such a long time has passed, and my father has already extinguished that thought. No matter whether he is really generous this time, or he is tempting my father, anyway, my father has already agreed. When the new year begins, my father will do this. Jian Kang Yin."

Having said that, Prince Jin looked up at his son, and said in a low voice, "We, Chen, must be named Li after all, not Yang."

"The only thing I worry about for my father is..."

Prince Jin sighed again: "He's still too young. After Old Man Yang retires, I don't know if he can hold on and hold back."

"If he can't help it."

Prince Jin lowered his eyebrows slightly: "Let's not talk about the loss of life, I'm afraid that the country will be unstable."
