Chapter 189

"Second brother, this is the imperial court, not a vegetable market, nor a busy market. Don't be full of vulgar words!" The always gentle Mu Wang was also provoked by Kang Wang, "In addition, the six are from the Dongliang Kingdom. , belongs to the father, not yours, mine, or the crown prince's!"

Kang Wang: "You"

"Okay, don't quarrel." In fact, Emperor Jianyuan was happy to see the ministers and princes quarreling.

Only sometimes when the noise was too much, he would make a sound to stop it.

King Kang: "." King Mu is really hateful, knowing that he speaks impulsively, deliberately catches his faults, and shows his loyalty in front of his father!
Emperor Jianyuan turned to ask King Mu, "Prince, since you said you didn't deliberately target anyone, why didn't the Ministry of Households sign the agreement for the Ministry of Industry?"

King Mu looked anxious, "The Ministry of Industry has been urging you for the money to build the embankment, but my colleagues in the Ministry of Household Affairs said that the amount is too large, and it needs your approval."

As soon as the voice fell, the Minister of the Household Department held up the court board and said: "Your Majesty, the amount of dams to be built is too large, and King Mu has just taken over the Household Department. Without your approval, I dare not sign easily!"

A minister of the household department also said: "Your Majesty, the household department is in charge of the world's finances. With you in charge of the household department, the ministers can feel at ease. I implore you to continue to be in charge of the household department!"

Minister of the Ministry of War: "Your Majesty, although the princes have grown up, they are all excellent and capable, but without you at the helm, they may easily go wrong."

Minister of the Ministry of War: "Master Shangshu's words are very true, I implore the emperor to continue to be in charge of the Ministry of War!"

Minister of the Ministry of Industry: "Your Majesty, how long have you handed over several departments to the princes, and there have been so many mistakes. I implore you to continue to take charge of the Ministry of Industry, so as not to delay the reconstruction of the disaster area. I really cannot absolve myself of the blame."

Kang Wang: "." This is not right. Didn't he quarrel with Mu Wang's party?
Why do several ministers ask the father to regain power?

"In life, no one is without fault. Even when I was a prince, I made many mistakes." Emperor Jianyuan said casually: "In addition, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Households, I have just handed over to the princes. , there is no reason to take it back."

Hearing this, King Kang and King Mu breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Emperor Jianyuan changed the subject and said, "However, since all the Aiqing strongly request that I take charge of the ministries again, I will continue to take care of it. If Aiqing and the princes have major matters that are uncertain, they will report to Zhezi, and I will come to you." Make a decision."

"As for some trivial matters, it is still up to the love ministers and the princes to discuss and decide."

As soon as these words came out, Kang Wang and Mu Wang lowered their heads, showing shock on their faces.

I thought that their partnership got a piece of the pie from the father.

I never thought that I would still be played by my father in the palm of my hand.

No wonder the father was so generous at the beginning, and he allocated three departments to go out.

It turned out that he had saved a hand and was waiting for them here!

Heh, let them work tirelessly in various ministries, as cattle and horses, but the final decision is in the hands of the emperor, what is the difference between this and slaves?

Pei Xuanling: "." So it turned out that the one who really stuck with money and refused to sign was not King Mu, but Emperor Father!

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Jianyuan approved the funds for the construction of the dam by the Ministry of Industry in the court hall.

After the matter is almost settled, the morning court will be dispersed.

After the morning court was over, several members of Kang Wang's party walked together and whispered.

Ninth Prince: "I didn't expect that we were all put together by the emperor."

Kang Wang: "Father knows that we brothers are not getting along, and deliberately let us fight each other, so that he can reap the benefits of fisherman."

"Second brother, just now in the court, someone said that you are using your power for personal gain, is this true?" the Seventh Prince asked.

Kang Wang: "Some are true, some are false."

"No." The Seventh Prince asked unwillingly: "Why did you two do such a big matter without discussing it with me?"

Ninth Prince: "You are busy with business all day long. When my second brother and I discuss matters, you are often absent. This time when we discussed matters, we saw that you were not present, so I didn't tell you."

Seventh Prince: "Next time, if there is anything, you can inform me. I will find time when I am busy. Let's discuss together if there is something to do!"

Kang Wang: "Understood, let's talk about it next time"

On the other side, after Pei Xuanling came down to court, as soon as he walked out of the Palace of Preservation, Cai Yuchun, who was beside the emperor, trotted all the way to the prince with his whisk on his arm, "His Royal Highness, the emperor invites you to go to the Longyuan Palace to have a talk."

Pei Xuanling raised his thick eyebrows, and went to Longyuan Hall in a chariot.

When they arrived at Longyuan Hall, Cai Yuchun brought Pei Xuanling to the study.

I saw the emperor sitting in front of the chessboard, looking at a game of broken chess, thoughtful.

"My son has met the emperor." Pei Xuanling knelt down to the emperor.

His eyes fell on the chessboard, and Emperor Jianyuan said indifferently: "Father and son haven't played chess for a long time, come and play a few games with me."

Pei Xuanling was slightly taken aback, Father rarely asked him to play chess with him.

Once you ask him to play chess, you basically ask him for something.

"Yes." After Pei Xuanling got up, he sat cross-legged opposite Emperor Jianyuan.

When I was a child, I saw my father playing chess with the ministers. Those ministers never won. I don't know if they let the father or they really are not good at chess.

From then on, he played chess with his father and never won.

After a stick of incense, Emperor Jianyuan dropped a sunspot on the chessboard and won.

Pei Xuanling: "Father's chess skills are still so superb, Gu lost again."

"You made a mistake with a chess piece before, and I can make you regret it." Emperor Jianyuan spoke very well.

"Thank you for your magnanimity, father." Pei Xuanling shook his head, "It's just that I have no regrets, how can my son back then, let's forget it."

"It's okay, it's not you who want to regret the chess, but I made you regret it." While speaking, Emperor Jianyuan took back a few black and white chess pieces.

Seeing that the emperor insisted on regretting the chess, Pei Xuanling also took back a few chess pieces, "The minister will regret the chess and play with the emperor for a while."

So the father and son continued to play chess.

Just going down, Jianyuan Emperor suddenly said inscrutablely: "Prince, I can give you some things, but you must not take them away."

Hearing this, Pei Xuanling knelt down without thinking about playing chess.

"Father, my son is the same as all the sons in the world. I only hope that my father will live forever, and my country will last forever. I have nothing else to think about!"

It seems that on the day he became crowned, King Kang's party and King Mu's party forced his father to share power with him in public, and his father still remembers it in his heart until now, becoming a thorn in his heart.

In fact, apart from some hidden forces, the emperor must be very clear about which officials are the Muwang Party, which officials are the Kangwang Party, and which are the Princeling Party.

Even though he knew those people were not his, his father was still so suspicious of him.

Because seizing power touched the bottom line of the father!

Emperor Jianyuan looked down at the prince, his sophisticated eyes were cold and sharp.

Then, he walked up to the prince, helped the prince himself, and said with a smile: "Look at you, I'm talking about chess pieces, why are you so nervous, come on, continue playing chess!"

Pei Xuanling: "."

Next, the Tian family father and son seemed to be playing chess, but in fact they were secretly competing.

After a game of chess, Pei Xuanling walked on thin ice, as if he had experienced a battle of wits.

At noon, Emperor Jianyuan left the prince to eat in Longyuan Hall before sending him away.

**
In the morning of the same day, although Emperor Jianyuan ordered the resumption of the military imperial examinations, the Ministry of War could not issue an announcement until tomorrow at the earliest.

However, some Beijing officials have already received the news.

After Jiang Chongjin learned about this, he planned to go back later and tell Brother Yong the good news. He must be very happy!
Except for the Beijing officials, ordinary people don't know the news.

This afternoon, Jiang Yongjie was playing with a big knife in the yard.

When she was sweating profusely from practice, the maid beside Feng came, "Second Master, madam, please go to the front hall to discuss matters."

"Got it." Jiang Yongjie wiped his sweat after hearing this, and went to the front hall.

When I got there, I saw that Mrs. Feng was already sitting in the hall.

After Jiang Yongjie went in, he found a chair and sat down, "I don't know why Aunt Feng called me here?"

"." Feng squinted at Jiang Yongjie, "Isn't this because you were eliminated in the imperial examination? Since you failed, why not... pack your bags and choose a better day, and go back to Hangzhou. Leave someone to watch."

Jiang Yongjie: "The house at home is watched by a housekeeper."

"The housekeeper is a servant after all, and the house still has to have an owner to guard the house." Feng Shi insisted: "Besides, you also know that your father's monthly salary is small, and it is difficult to support another person in the family, not to mention your daughter-in-law and The kids are here too."

Originally, Huai Zhe lived in the courtyard facing south, but when Jiang Yongjie came, he took over Huai Zhe's good courtyard.

Huai Zhe has complained to him several times recently, saying that he wants to return to the original courtyard.

As the stepwife, even though she is also the main wife and her son is also the legitimate son, he has to be ranked behind the original spouse's legitimate son.

The key point is that this house belongs to Jiang Chongjin, he and Jiang Yongjie are brothers, so naturally he can't care about Huai Zhe.

"Auntie, Uncle." Just as Feng Shi was talking to Jiang Yongjie, Tao Shi came over, and she said to Jiang Yongjie, "Just now Nan Nan went to the yard to look for you, and said he wanted you to practice martial arts."

Jiang Yongjie: "Sister-in-law, I was practicing martial arts in the yard just now, if he had gone earlier, maybe he would have seen me."

Tao Shi sat down in the room and asked casually, "What are Auntie and Uncle talking about?"

Feng didn't hide it, so he told Tao about the situation.

Tao Shi probably understood what Feng Shi meant after hearing this.

It's nothing more than the fact that the family doesn't support idlers and wants to drive my uncle's family away.

Dow said disapprovingly: "Aunt Feng, my uncle has only been in the capital for a long time, and I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to let him go back to his hometown. Also, you said that there are no idlers at home, but how much can my uncle's family eat?"

Feng Shi: "He practices martial arts every day, and eats more than us. Brother Jin is considerate of their family, and asks the kitchen to cook them different nutritious meals every day. How much money will it cost?"

"Jin Lang is responsible for all the expenses of the family, even if my uncle's family eats well, it won't cost you and father a penny." Tao also said: "Besides, what they eat is just ordinary food. Forget it, there are many rooms in the house, and if they are empty, they are empty, so it doesn't matter if my uncle's family lives there."

Feng: "."

This Dow, if it was in the past, she would do whatever she said.

Now it's amazing, dare to challenge her face to face!

Jiang Yongjie: "Aunt Feng, sister-in-law, I won't live and eat for free at home. I will go to the capital to find an errand to do. At that time, I will get money from home every month."

As a man, Jiang Yongjie has a thin skin when talking about these things.

He was eliminated in the first round of the imperial examination, and he couldn't stand it.

"Uncle, don't say that, we are all one family, don't talk about two families, don't worry about finding an errand, just rest and talk about it during this period." Tao said in relief.

"Brother Yong thinks so, it's a good thing." Feng Shiba persuaded with a smile: "It's just that the capital hides dragons and crouching tigers, so it's not so easy to find jobs."

"There is an old saying that it is better to be a chicken head than a phoenix tail. A Juren like you can't find any good jobs in the capital. If you go back to Hangzhou, you might be able to find a good official."

She wished that the original spouse's family would be as bad as possible.

"My uncle is a martial artist, so why can't he find a good job in the capital?" Tao said to Jiang Yongjie: "Uncle, you are good at martial arts, so you will definitely be able to find a job in the capital. When Jin Lang rests, let him I will take you to look for it in the capital."

Jiang Yongjie nodded foolishly and agreed.

Feng sneered in his heart.

If he had high martial arts skills, how could he be eliminated in the first round?

I really don't know how much I weigh!

"Master is back!" Outside the hall, a servant was speaking.

Dow looked out and saw Jiang Chongjin coming back from Sanya.
