The noble lady who wears books has to fight monsters and upgrade

Ji Jun felt particularly awkward when he heard that the Prince of Guangning County was going to marry the head of County Linli to Ning Xiaotao.
Li Mi was also shocked. As Qi Li's cousin, the two houses were also relatives, but he didn't know any news.

This expression fell in Jili's eyes, and the county master Jili felt very hurt.
"What? You don't believe it? Do you think I'm talking nonsense? I didn't expect you to treat me like this!"

Ji Jun looked at the way Lord Qili County was blowing and raining, and he no longer bothered to argue with her.

"The main reason is that it was too sudden and there was no news at all."

The Lord of Qili County was a little depressed.

"My father said that this Ning Xiaotao is no worse in appearance than Zhang Jisheng, and he is the young master of the Duke of Guo. Moreover, after getting engaged to me, he was recorded in the name of the Duke of Guo's wife, and he is regarded as his legitimate son." Come on, it seems like a good match."

"Ok!"

Ji Jun thought to himself, but your expression looks like you are going to the execution ground! He definitely doesn’t want to!
But why did Prince Guangning do this?

Could it be that he wanted to end the emperor's idea of ​​a "marriage" with the head of Qili County?

After Duke Li and his son became ill, the scope of power in the court was reorganized. The most obvious feature was that the power of the royal family was relatively large.

For example, with Princess Ruichang.

For example, the Prince of Guangning County and the Prince of Jiangxia County.

Another example is Prince Rongan.

Even though the Long'an County Prince has no real power, he has entered into a marriage alliance with Chen Guogong's Mansion.

If these clan members unanimously recommend a certain prince, the emperor may have to give in.

Therefore, it may be that Duici Cangshu originally wanted to marry a noblewoman with a powerful background, or it may have been a warning from the emperor to marry Qili to Liaorong. With this relationship, the prince of Guangning County wanted to To avoid suspicion, you must give up some power!
Otherwise, several other clan members and civil and military officials may unite to deal with the Guangning County Prince!
I remember that Ji Min once told Ji Jun a similar story from the previous dynasty: at that time, the prince was the second son of the emperor, and the eldest son of the emperor also had a distinguished family background. His mother was a noble concubine, and his maternal grandfather was the minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Therefore, even though the title of the prince has long been decided, the threat from the eldest son still makes the prince walk on thin ice.

Later, the queen took advantage of the foreign leader's visit and designed a plan to make the foreign leader and the third princess "cook the rice."

As a last resort, the third princess had to marry a foreigner.

And this third princess and the eldest son of the emperor are from the same mother!
With such a foreign brother-in-law, and the other party was a threat to the imperial court, the eldest son of the emperor completely lost his qualifications to compete.

The Lord of Qili County didn't know the thousands of possibilities in Ji Jun's mind, so he thought to himself and said,

"Ning Guo Gong wants his father's help to find a position in the court for the eldest son. Even someone like Chen Zhuoxin can shout and drink all day long. The eldest son of Ning Guo Gong is an upright eldest son. Why can't he?"

Ji Jun turned his head and pouted at Li Mi from an angle that could not be seen by the head of Qili County, complaining in his heart.

"What kind of logic is this!"

Ning Guogong's eldest son "Wen" was not heard about how good his knowledge was, nor how powerful his "wu" was. At least, she almost never heard Li Mi, Zhou Huan and others mention him.

But at the same time, it also shows that although Prince Ning is not that outstanding, at least he does his duty, does not cause trouble, and does not do many bad things.

In short, not famous! Good, bad, none.

To use another word, it is extremely mediocre.

Such a person could be reincarnated. Why not just stay in the Duke's palace and enjoy wealth and splendor? He had to get mixed up in the officialdom. Aren't you afraid of being sold and helping people pay for it?

wrong!

I remember it was said in the book that although Ning Guogong and Yi Guogong were like transparent people, they were definitely not stupid!
In the book, Ning Guogong originally supported the second prince. He insisted that "there are direct descendants, but there are no direct descendants."

However, later on, as Ning Xiaotao's activity level skyrocketed and he became so close to the third prince, Ning Guo Gongjiu rarely expressed his stance.

At this time, he was marrying the prince of Guangning County with great fanfare, and he also pushed his prince to the front and said that he was "on a whim"? No one seems to believe it!

"Cousin, which position is Prince Ning interested in?" Li Mi was not interested in this. As long as you don't go into the Ministry of War and cause trouble, you can go wherever you like! In the past, there was a household department that gave Li Mi a headache. Now, with his eldest cousin as a small treasury as a backer, Li Mi doesn't care much about the faces of the officials in the household department.

Sometimes people are so strange. In the past, Li Mi often dealt with the Ministry of Household Affairs for the military expenses of the Li family army. Sometimes the other party was polite but shook his head and did nothing.

Some people just said a tough sentence,

"Do you want any money?"

The emperor's decree was there, and the Ministry of War's approval document was there, but the Ministry of Household Affairs just didn't have the money, or didn't come up with the money, so Li Mi had nothing to do.

At first, Li Mi naively believed that the human corpses in the Ministry of Revenue were just plain food and did not take the lives of border officers and soldiers seriously.

Gradually, Li Mi also understood that this was actually the emperor's "manipulation" of Duke Li's mansion!
This is the emperor's warning to the Duke of Li through the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After going back and forth, Li Mi also figured out the emperor's thoughts and began to learn to "play Tai Chi" with the emperor.

At the same time, through the pressure from the Prince of Guangning and the Prince of Jiangxia, he was finally able to scrape together the military expenses.

However, since Ji Jun secretly funded the Li family army, Li Mi's pressure has dropped sharply, and he has become less embarrassed when facing the Ministry of Household Affairs. The Ministry of Household Affairs may have sensed the deep meaning of Li Mi's attitude, and secretly speculated whether the emperor was compensating in other ways. After Li Jiajun, if he continues to make things difficult for him, will he become "not a human being inside and outside"?
In order to avoid embarrassment, the household department also took a lot of initiative.

The Lord of Qili County frowned and thought for a moment.
"It seems that there is a position for the Minister of Works, and Prince Ning wants to go to the Ministry of Works. The Ministry of Works will recently renovate the residences of the imperial officials. Prince Ning wants to be in charge of this project. That's right. Ning Xiaotao, their bastard, spends money like water. The prince is really stretched thin, so he has to find a way to get more money!"

Ji Jun thought to himself, is it possible that in this era, there are still people who use projects to make money?

I remember that in the 21st century, Ji Jun heard someone say, "Pave roads and build bridges, stuff your pockets."

Is this Prince Ning going to do the same thing?
"Well, there's nothing wrong with thinking like this. As long as you don't harm nature, don't harm life for money, and earn some hard-earned money, it's not a big deal!"

Ji Jun feels that a gentleman loves money and gets it in a wise way.

As long as Prince Ning doesn't engage in those "scumbag" projects, he will be a good official!

The Lord of Jili County curled his lips and shook his head after hearing this.

"It seems not easy! I heard that the ground in Chen Guogong's mansion collapsed. The emperor wanted to help Chen Guogong repair it, but Chen Guogong refused in every possible way. Chen Guogong didn't trust the people in the Ministry of Industry. If other mansions followed suit, Ning Shizi could still What kind of money are you making!”

"What? The ground in Chen Guogong's mansion collapsed?"

Ji Jun was shocked and looked at Li Mi. Li Mi was also shocked!
They don't even know!

its not right! Don’t Zhou Huan and Zhou Biao also know?
Or did you deliberately hide it from them?

Ji Jun calmly asked the chief of Qili County,

"Chen Guogong may think that there is no need to make a fuss. By the way, where did the county master hear about it? I haven't heard about it."

The Lord of Jili County was quite proud when he heard this.

"Of course you don't know! Such a big thing has happened in Chen Guogong's family, can you make it public? How embarrassing! I only found out about it the day before yesterday when I overheard the chat between my father and Ning Xiaotao! Hey! Don't tell anyone. ! If you tell me, everyone will fight for this position, and it will be difficult for my father! For the sake of relatives, I tell you, anyway, it is impossible for my eldest cousin to like this minister of the Ministry of Industry. As for you-"

The Lord of Jili County suddenly stopped talking.

Ji Jun raised his eyebrows,

"What's wrong with me?"

Why can I still grab it? Don't say that you don't allow women to be officials in the Zhou Dynasty. Even if you allow it, I won't be able to rob the minister of the Ministry of Industry just to give Chen Zhuoxin a house!
Hey, wait a minute, the ground in Chen Guogong's mansion collapsed. Could it be that the secret passage was exposed?
Could it be that the repair is fake, or is it possible to find out whether the truth inside is real?

Just when I thought of this, I heard the Lord of Qili County curl his lips and say,
"Fortunately, you can't be the minister of the Ministry of Works. If you become, even a seventh-grade official in the Ministry of Works, you will have to set up several pots to bake pancakes in the Ministry of Works! By then, the Ministry of Works will still be a minister of the Ministry of Works. Department? A whole "cake department"!"

Ji Jun, "..."
