let go of my skin fairy

……

three days later.

In the capital, in Ganquan Palace.

The gorgeous and dignified Empress Dowager was sitting on a chair, looking softly at Di Gong who was looking down.

"Jiang Erlang, who was elected by Mr. Di this time, performed very well. He not only solved the cause of Yan Jinqi's death, but also destroyed the plan of the wizards in the Southern Region in one fell swoop."

"This is not the merit of the minister, it is actually the Empress Dowager's appreciation of his talent. If the Empress Dowager hadn't given him this opportunity, Jiang Erlang would not have behaved like this." Di Gong was still very humble.

The queen mother smiled and waved her hands: "Duke Di doesn't need to be polite with me, this Jiang Erlang is indeed talented, should Gong Di give young people more opportunities?"

As soon as these words came out, Di Gong couldn't understand what they meant.

Immediately said: "Yan Jinqi donated to the country in Hanzhong County, and the night investigation department lacks a golden banner. I intend to let Jiang Erlang take the place of Jinqi temporarily. I wonder what the queen mother wants?"

"It's fine for Mr. Di to talk about the matter of the Night Investigation Department. There is no need to consult the palace." The queen mother nodded.

She didn't mention Jiang Erlang's matter again, which naturally meant agreeing with Di Gong's opinion.

However, after talking about Jiang Erlang, she changed the subject slightly: "However, I heard Luo Yu's reply, that Jiang Yu'er has now convinced the Mo family, and his performance in Hanzhong County is also extraordinary..."

"That's right, it's the Queen Mother's fortune and His Majesty's fortune that Daqin got this talent!" After a little thought, Di Gong replied with a smile.

The queen mother was silent for a while, and then continued: "Duke Di was joking, this is obviously a blessing from His Majesty, what has it to do with my palace?"

This was half a joke, but it actually showed her attitude.

Di Gong didn't talk too much about this matter, but changed the subject: "Jiang Erlang mentioned the alliance between the Southern Region and the Yaozu. The Queen Mother should take precautions."

The queen mother knew what Di Gong meant when she heard this.

She is not surprised that the Night Investigation Department has never been involved in party disputes in the court.

Of course, she also knew that if someone threatened her status, the person who stood behind her immediately would also be Duke Di.

So, after thinking for a while, she took over the topic of Duke Di: "I have sent Dr. Yan to Xijing in advance, and at the same time ordered Lord Wuping 'Meng Liang' to organize the army to stop the war and prepare to garrison in Nanshi City. Meng Liang's ability, I think there shouldn't be any problem."

Di Gong shook his head: "General Meng has commanded our Daqin soldiers for many years, naturally there is no problem, but my Daqin treasury has been empty for the past few years, and winter is about to come, if the battle situation is prolonged, The follow-up supply of food and grass is insufficient, and I am afraid that something serious will happen."

The queen mother waved her hand after hearing this: "Duke Di is worrying too much, Nan Yu didn't get a bargain in Hanzhong County this time, and the monster race is inherently capricious, even if the two armies really cooperate to fight, it will not be easy. It may last for a long time, as long as General Meng can hold back for a month, maybe the Southern Region Kingdom and the Yaozu will retreat."

"I hope... so."

Although Di Gong still had some worries on his face, he still agreed with the Queen Mother's opinion.

After all, after the unification of the Qin Dynasty, after more than 300 years, the Southern Regions and the Yaozu have always harassed the frontier, but they have not caused too much damage.

……

The two are chatting.

A report came from outside Ganquan Palace.

"Report to the Queen Mother, Mr. Xiangguo asks to see you."

"Oh? Come in, please." The queen mother adjusted her sitting posture, her chest puffed up.

And then, Xiangguo Han Shen, who was dressed in court clothes, walked in slowly under the leadership of an eunuch, saw Di Gong at a glance, and immediately saluted slightly.

"It turns out that Duke Di is also here."

"Since Mr. Xiangguo has something to discuss with the Queen Mother, I will take my leave." Duke Di nodded his head in return, and then prepared to leave.

However, Han Shen waved his hand: "Mr. Di is the chief banner of the Night Investigation Department. He has always been responsible for supervising all officials. The truth is that he came here only to discuss the reunion of the Jixia Academy. It’s okay to listen to it.”

The queen mother nodded to Duke Di when she heard this: "In that case, please stay and discuss with Duke Di."

"Minister, obey the order." Di Gong stayed behind.

And Han Shen turned his eyes to the gorgeous and dignified queen mother on the seat, first saluted the minister, and then said: "The Jiang Yushi has already paid back, the Mo family agreed to return to Jixia, and the Daoist sect also has some intentions to return. , but, the Daoist sect put forward a condition, I hope that Daqin can respect it as the state religion."

"Is Zun Taoism the state religion?" The Queen Mother's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly: "Is this a threat? What's Di Gong's opinion on this matter?"

"Nowadays when foreign enemies are at hand, if the Daoists are really willing to return to Jixia and serve our Great Qin, I think it's okay!" Di Gong replied after a little thought.

"What about Lord Xiangguo?" The queen mother asked Han Shen again.

"I believe that after the disaster of Yinghuo Shouxin comes, there will be evil spirits taking advantage of the situation in Daqin to make trouble, and Taoism has always had a way to restrain evil spirits. If we can get the help of Taoism at this time, not only can we restrain evil spirits, but also for other hundred people. The family set an example, so the minister also agreed with Di Gong's opinion."

Of course, it was impossible for Han Shen to raise objections.

Because Jiang Yu'er had written to him in advance, and he and Jiang Yu'er are now grasshoppers on the same rope. If the return of the hundred families to Jixia cannot be completed, he will have to "sacrifice the country", Although it is said that Li Daomen is the state religion, a new force will inevitably be established in the court, but at this time, it is too much to worry about.

When the Queen Mother heard that the two agreed, she pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Since both Di Gong and Lord Xiangguo think this matter is okay, then please Master Xiangguo to work hard."

"Minister, obey the order!" Han Shen immediately bowed down, and then he said again: "This time Jiang Yuen persuaded the Mohists and Taoists in Hanzhong County. Set up the imperial envoy of Jiang as an example, and award them to encourage all officials."

"Well, Master Xiangguo, what kind of reward do you think should be given to Jiang Yu'er?"

"The minister thinks that he can confer titles on others, and then let him become a man in the official department. In this way..."

"The Daoist matter has not yet been decided. Is it too soon to let him enter the servant of the Ministry of Officials? Besides, he has not yet entered the palace examination, and Mr. Xiangguo still needs to think about it." The Queen Mother interrupted Han Shen. Then, he said: "Let's give him a title first, and we can discuss other matters after the reunion of hundreds of families in Jixia."

"This... yes, minister Zunzhi!" Han Shen opened his mouth, but he didn't say any more. After all, he knew too well what the empress dowager was thinking.

Of course, he was not surprised.

Because, he just wanted to give Jiang Yu'er a title of title. As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he just "asked for it" in advance.

Now the Empress Dowager has a "clear decree", stating that as long as Jiang Yu'er can bring all the families back together, she can talk about the matter of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials again, which can be regarded as a foreshadowing.

Old hot as Han fear, looks a little ugly on the face, but actually secretly proud of himself.

Moreover, his move has the meaning of killing two birds with one stone.

He wanted to take the opportunity to try 'Di Gong's attitude'.

Because, if anyone in the room could see through his mind, it was only Duke Di.

After seeing that Duke Di didn't say much, he had a new understanding in his heart... Duke Di didn't mind Jiang Yuer's entry into the Ministry of Officials, so it also meant that Duke Di would not stop His Majesty from being in charge.

……

Hanzhong County.

In three days, the soldiers from Hanzhong County and the night watchmen from the Night Investigation Division had almost searched Hidden Dragon Island.

And in the process...

The villagers of Jiangxia Village also sent countless 'stones'.

There are all kinds of things, it can be said to be dazzling.

However, according to Jiang Erlang's understanding, the sky rock that Yinghuo Shouxin lowered should be made of some kind of material similar to 'meteorite', but there is no big discovery.

"Did it really fall into the lake? If so, there will be some trouble."

Lake Thompson is too big.

Not to mention in ancient times, even if you want to play "pumping water" in the previous era, you can't do it.

No way.

This thing can only be done slowly.

Of course, during these three days, he also did one more thing.

It was in Tong Ren's white mist world that he spread the news about the establishment of Taoism as the state religion, and at the same time, he also told about the willingness of Taoism and Mohists to return to Jixia.

As for whether it will have the effect he expected...

It can only depend on God's will.

……

In the room where Jiang Yu'er was.

Luo Yu and Liang Wan'er were sitting on the side, one on the left and the other on the right, both looking at Jiang Yu'er, as if they were waiting for Jiang Yu'er to make a 'choice'.

Jiang Yu'er, on the other hand, was deep in thought without saying a word.

Luo Yu couldn't wait any longer, so he said, "The affairs of Hanzhong County have been finished, and the Mo family and Daoist sect have also made a decision. Where shall we go next?"

"Of course he returned to Beijing." Jiang Yu'er replied.

"Are you going back to Beijing so soon?" Luo Yu didn't seem to have had enough fun: "Don't go to other places to play? Why don't we go to the Western Regions? It may not be a good thing for Buddhists to help each other?"

"Well, what Princess Luoyu said makes sense!" Jiang Yu'er agreed.

"Then... shall we go to the Western Regions?"

"No, let's go back to Beijing."

"Why?" Luo Yu was a little puzzled.

"Because, if my prediction is correct, the Buddhist sect should send people to the capital soon." Jiang Yu'er raised the corner of his mouth, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Nonsense, how could Buddhism send someone to the capital?" Luo Yu obviously didn't believe it.

Jiang Yu'er just smiled: "Why don't we take a gamble?"

"Okay, what do you want to bet on?"

"Just bet that Buddhism will arrive in the capital within half a month."

"What if you don't come?"

"Let Her Royal Highness punish you."

"Okay, then if the Buddhist sect really comes to the capital within half a month, I will let you punish me." Luo Yu raised her head when she heard this.

"I dare not punish the princess." How could Jiang Yu'er be fooled by Luo Yu, and said directly: "If I win, Her Royal Highness only needs to do one thing for me."

"what's up?"

"Let's talk about it after we win." Jiang Yu'er stood up, and turned his gaze to Liang Wan'er again: "I heard from Erlang that Miss Wan'er is serving him now?"

"What servant!" Liang Wan'er immediately became upset: "I just bet... I just lost the bet."

Jiang Yu'er just smiled: "Admit the bet and admit defeat, Miss Wan'er is worthy of being a famous lady, but I don't think Erlang will stay in Hanzhong County for too long. If you can't find the 'Sky Stone', maybe I'm going back to the capital too, Miss Wan'er can go back to the capital with him when the time comes."

When Liang Wan'er heard this, she pouted her mouth: "Well, that's the only way to go, that rough... that Jiang Yinqi is really annoying!"

"Hahaha." Jiang Yu'er.

Luo Yu took the opportunity to say: "Wan'er, don't say that, I think Jiang Yinqi is a good person, and it seems to be interesting to you."

"He's not interested in me, Sister Ji is interested in him!" Liang Wan'er said subconsciously, but soon felt inappropriate: "Uh, I was just talking casually."

"Sister Ji you're talking about is Ji Ruxue?" Luo Yu could hear the trick.

"Well, but I'm just talking casually. Sister Ji is a majestic Princess of Zhou, how could she fall in love with him?" Liang Wan'er shook her head and said.

"That's right, Ji Ruxue has a noble status, and besides, she has always been aloof and cold, so she probably doesn't like talking to men very much, right?" Luo Yu nodded and replied with a smile.

"Sister Ji doesn't like to talk to men, but she still has something special about Jiang Erlang, otherwise she wouldn't let him live in the Great Zhou Palace."

"Oh? Is it special?"

"It should be because Jiang Erlang is very good at solving crimes, and he was personally promoted by Sister Ji..." When Liang Wan'er spoke, she looked at Jiang Yu'er: "Anyway, Sister Ji has a special trust in Jiang Erlang. It's nothing, Sister Ji is very ordinary to him."

After all, Liang Wan'er was still a bit scheming, she didn't bring out Ji Ruxue's saying that she likes martial arts, she had some reservations.

Luo Yu realized something, and didn't say any more.

……

Two days later.

The capital passed down two decrees.

The first decree was for Jiang Erlang, and Jiang Erlang was named the golden banner of the Night Detective Division.

Feng Lingzi, Wu Lingzi and others naturally congratulated Jiang Erlang.

The second decree was for Jiang Yu'er.

This was a decree passed down by the young emperor himself, conferring Jiang Yu'er a 'June', even though it was only the last title, it was still surprising.

Liang Wan'er was extremely happy, shouting loudly to congratulate Jiang Yu'er.

So, that night...

A group of people set up a banquet in the best restaurant in Hanzhong County.

Officials of high rank in Hanzhong County were invited to attend the banquet.

One congratulates Jiang Erlang.

The second is to celebrate Jiang Yuer.

Of course, the officials of Hanzhong County who received the invitations did not dare to delay, and all of them came to congratulate with rich gifts. All of a sudden, it was very lively, and there was a lot of traffic in front of the restaurant, which attracted a momentary spectacle.

'Jiang Chaoge' can be regarded as truly experiencing the feeling of 'being an official and accepting bribes', well, this kind of atmosphere... there must be no next time!

Then, another day passed.

Jiang Yu'er took Luo Yu and his party back to Beijing.

And Jiang Erlang is still sitting in Hanzhong County, looking for the whereabouts of Tianshi.
