Expensive marriage: The concubine is begging for peace again today

Chapter 152 Reconciliation
Just when Jiang Changning was thinking about it, he heard Xiulan say pleasantly outside: "My servant greets the lord, best wishes to the lord."

Jiang Changning was taken aback, why did King Jin come?

But didn't he seduce him to bed?

When King Jin entered the room, he saw his little concubine sitting on the kang, staring at him blankly.

Asked with a smile: "I haven't seen you for two days, so you don't remember your man?"

"Why are you here?" Jiang Changning asked.

"I used the wrong word. I'm going back to the yard, not here. What delicious food did you cook? You haven't brought it out for me to eat." King Jin sat down beside her.

"How did you know you made sweet-scented osmanthus cakes?" Jiang Changning asked in surprise.

King Jin pinched her chin and said with a smile, "I know everything and am omnipotent."

Jiang Changning opened his hand, "Can you still eat?"

"It's been a while for lunch, of course I can eat it." King Jin didn't know how to send tonic soup.

"I mean, a beauty gave you something just now."

"The beauty who delivered the things is not you."

"I'm a yellow-faced woman, so I can be called a beauty. The beauty I'm talking about is the one who can dance and sing."

There was a smell of vinegar, and King Jin smiled. He came back after marrying a vinegar jar.

"Not all women can enter Jingshetang." Jin Wang said seriously.

"What kind of woman can enter?" Jiang Changning asked tentatively.

"Only yellow-faced women can enter."

The corners of Jiang Changning's lips could not help but rise slightly, King Jin stretched out his hand and hugged him into his arms, "Little heartless."

"Where did I lose my conscience?" Jiang Changning said sullenly.

He has always been infatuated with women and heartbroken.

The two reconciled as before, and King Jin lived back in Rujingyuan.

Knowing this situation, Chen Yi secretly rejoiced that she did not act rashly.

Pu Shi said: "There are really tricks!"

It is really not an easy task to share the favor of the prince from the concubine.

Jin Wang, who reconciled with the princess and ate the meat, was in a good mood. In the early court, the emperor let go and agreed to trade with Chagatai.

After discussing the matter, King Jin was isolated.

Of course, the emperor still used words to cover up, "Jin Wang has just returned from investigating the case in the south of the Yangtze River. He is in charge of the Ministry of Rites and also compiling books. He is very busy. I will not add burdens to Jin Wang anymore."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding." King Jin never thought of going to discuss the mutual market in person, and the emperor didn't let him participate, which was exactly what he wanted.

The emperor ordered the Minister of Honghe Temple to be the head, and to supervise the Shaoqing of Siyi Guan, You Shaoqing of Honghe Temple, the member of the Ministry of Households, Wailang, and the head of the Ministry of Rites as assistants, and Prince Ding's son, to discuss the mutual market with the Chagatai Mission. thing.

Although the mutual market is in the interests of the two countries, how to open it, the emperor means: "We can no longer follow the old rules."

Back then, Guangzong closed the mutual market between the two countries for many reasons. The most important reason was that Dongcha Kingdom used the money obtained from the mutual market to mine iron ore and sell ironware, and it became more and more powerful.

When Chenglong was in trouble, if it weren't for the civil strife in the East Cha Kingdom, the old King Jin guarded the border and prevented the Eastern Cha Kingdom's cavalry from invading, and the Great Qin Dynasty would be in danger.

In order to prevent Chagatai from using Daqin's money to grow stronger, it cannot use money to trade with Chagatai, so what should be used?
Even if you want to exchange things, you have to pick a suitable one.

The Minister of Honglu Temple asked Wailang, a member of the Household Department, to come up with a charter. The Household Department is in charge of the country's finances and has the best knowledge of the country's property. It is most appropriate for him to take the charter.

This was the thinking of the other four people, and the Tobu member Uiro didn't think so, "I'm just a fifth grade member Uiro, let me get the charter, what a joke."

Although he was annoyed, he didn't dare to complain in front of the Honglu Temple Minister and the others. There was nothing he could do about it, who would make him low in rank.

With the five officials involved in the negotiation, plus Prince Ding, he is half a rank higher than the head of the Ministry of Rites.

Wailang, a member of the household department, was so worried that he drank alcohol for several days in a row, but he couldn't think of a good way.

Not in his place, not seeking his government.

King Jin was not worried at all, he received a large number of books from Jiangnan, and led the officials of the Imperial Academy to sort them into categories.

He found a copy of "Miscellaneous Tales of Strange Interests", which recorded various wild tales and anecdotes about foxes, ghosts and gods, karma, persuading good and punishing evil, etc.

The first story: There was an old flower seller who said that a private house had been vacant for many years and was occupied by a fox. She admired the handsome young man next door, so she turned into a young woman to seduce him.

The man is frightened when he is afraid of things, and he tricks the man by asking for his name.

The friendship gradually became closer, and they never gave up on each other, but told the truth that she was a fox girl.

The young man liked his look, but he didn't hesitate to refuse, and still made a mandarin duck with him.

This book is really interesting, the little princess likes to read miscellaneous books, I think she will like this book.

At the beginning of Youshi, King Jin took the book home and prepared to give it to Jiang Changning.

As soon as he walked out of the Yamen, he was stopped by someone, and the person who stopped him was King Jiujiang.

"Nephew Yuxian." The King of Jiujiang called him affectionately.

King Jin bowed his hands in salute: "Uncle Tang, are you waiting for my nephew here?"

"I have something to ask you." Jiujiang Wang smiled, "How about we go to the restaurant and chat while eating?"

"There's no need to eat. Let's find a teahouse and have a chat over tea." King Jin didn't want to eat at the same table with the alcoholic King of Jiujiang.

"It's already this time, what kind of tea do you want to drink, go to the restaurant, Uncle Tang invites you." The King of Jiujiang said and was about to start dragging people.

"I still invite Uncle Tang." King Jin made a gesture of invitation, avoiding King Jiujiang's hand.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I sat down in the private room on the second floor and ordered food and drinks.

The King of Jiujiang was not in a hurry to talk about things, nor was the King of Jin.

In fact, King Jin guessed why King Jiujiang came to him. An accomplice in the Jiangnan corruption case was the brother-in-law of King Jiujiang's brother-in-law.

The relationship seems to be a bit far away, but after investigation, it turns out that this person is relying on the power of the Jiujiang Palace.

King Jin returned to the capital first, and deliberately asked Cao Jiang to escort the people back to the capital, in order to see how the hidden people would operate after they knew the matter.

He sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and waited for the fish to take the bait. The King of Jiujiang came late.

According to the informant, Cao Jiang will escort the criminals to Beijing the day after tomorrow.

When the criminals came to Beijing, they were handed over to the Ministry of Punishment. After one round of punishment, eight out of ten would confess, and the two who did not confess could not survive the punishment and died.

The wine and dishes were on the table, and the King of Jiujiang brought the pot to pour wine for King Jin.

"Uncle Tang, this is inappropriate, and my nephew will pour it for you." King Jin took the jug and poured two glasses of wine with a clever trick, "Uncle Tang, my nephew respects you."

"Speaking of which, our uncle and nephew haven't had a drink for a long time." King Jiujiang raised his glass.

King Jin laughed and said, "It's because my nephew was busy with government affairs and neglected it."

"It's good to be busy with government affairs, unlike my family, who has nothing to do every day." The prince of Jiujiang had a son late, and his son is only 16 years old now, and he is still studying in the Imperial College.

Seeing that the king of Jiujiang had finished drinking the wine, the king of Jin poured him another glass.

He wouldn't say anything about Prince Jiujiang's words.

The King of Jiujiang has the merits of being a dragon, but it is a pity that he is too drunk to drink, makes mistakes one after another, loses his sacred heart, and now can only take idle jobs.

It cannot be said that he is completely useless, but to use him, one must be cautious.
