my wife is queen

Chapter 84 Involves Emperor Jiazhen
After Li Mian went back, he made a test, and arranged for Li Dingguo and He Jin to stop paying respects to each other. All the silver profits that should be handed over to the various yamen this month will be withheld.

Test the attitudes of the various yamen and the backhand they can come up with before proceeding to the next step.

As for the profit brought by the prostitute gambling house in Lu Yangguan's hands, he will not move it for the time being, because he has already sold illegal salt, and it will have a greater effect.

It's just that Li Dingguo and He Jin's temptations are enough. The [-]% of the money has already reduced the filial money of each yamen by nearly half, achieving the effect of killing their parents.

Just a few days after Li Dingguo and He Jin stopped paying filial piety to the silver, Wan An, Lu Guangzu and other officials left the government office anxiously, went to their respective superiors to explain the situation, and at the same time they took themselves out, and at the same time put all the guilt Push it onto Li Mian's head.

There were a total of two people who participated in the competition for the business of the prostitute gambling house in Caochangyuan, one was the son-in-law Li Mian, and the other was Sun Chuanting.

The officials of Wan'an and Lu Guangzu didn't dare to easily offend Sun Chuanting because the persimmons were picked softly. They were just trying to shirk their responsibility, and they could find someone to cover the tank.

Li Mian, who came from a poor family, couldn't be more suitable. He doesn't have a deep background like Sun Chuanting. Judging from his background, he is easy to bully. If you don't bully Li Mian, I'm sorry for his poor background.

Wan An didn't receive the filial money from Caochangyuan, so he didn't feel the slightest anxiety in his heart. He got on the pine flower and green official sedan chair and went to Yan Maoqing's official residence.

The pine, flower and green official sedan chair stopped at the entrance of a five-entry mansion. Wan An got out of the official sedan chair, knocked on the side door, waited until the concierge opened the wooden door with red lacquer and copper nails, and walked along the corridor to the flower hall in the front yard.

He sat on the red rosewood official hat chair, and after waiting for a short time, he saw an official walking in from the door.

This official is none other than Yan Maoqing, Deputy Prime Minister of Spokesperson.

Wan An hurriedly got up, and complained endlessly: "Li Mian, who just became a son-in-law, doesn't know how to behave. He is just a son-in-law from a poor family. Forty percent of the prostitutes and gambling houses also took the act of withholding filial money. I don't know what kind of ecstasy he used to confuse Sun Chuanting and mess around with him. Stick, dare not really do it, and this month's filial piety money may be gone."

After Wan An finished speaking, he took a peek at Yan Maoqing, thinking that he would be furious and use his power to persecute Li Mian, and hurriedly led his people out of the Caochangyuan.

But what Wan An never expected was that Yan Maoqing was sitting on the main seat in front of the mahogany table, without any displeasure on his face, holding a peacock-glazed tureen and drinking tea slowly.

When the tea in his hand was finished, he put down the peacock-glazed tureen and said indifferently: "You thought that the filial money from the Caochangyuan was stopped, and the offenders were my official and other important ministers of the yamen. If you do this It would be wrong to think about it, if Li Mian is still obsessed with his obsession, the one who really offends is not this official, but His Majesty."

This sentence made Wan An feel confused, it was just a filial silver from Caochangyuan, how could it involve Emperor Jiazhen.

The aloof Emperor Jiazhen practiced Taoism at the three gates all day long, and rarely asked about the affairs of the court. His pure-hearted and ascetic attitude was rarely seen among the emperors of all dynasties.

Over the years, Wan'an has rarely seen Emperor Jiazhen handle major affairs in the court, and has always been handed over to the chief eunuch who is in charge of ceremonies and the cabinet minister to handle the affairs of the court together. How could the filial money of a Caochangyuan involve Emperor Jiazhen.

Wan An felt unbelievable, and really couldn't figure out the way here, so he could only look at Yan Maoqing with eyes seeking knowledge.

Being an official in the imperial court does not depend on how much talent one has, but the key lies in knowing how to guess the holy will.

As long as he can understand Emperor Jiazhen's mind and grasp the context of His Majesty's work, he will not be far from a smooth career.

Yan Maoqing pretended he didn't see the look in his eyes, and skipped it directly, obviously not telling him about Emperor Jiazhen's secret thoughts related to the imperial court.

Wan An was not his nephew, and Yan Maoqing would not support him in this regard, telling Wan An his experience in being an official for many years.

If it's a nephew or nephew, I'll say something else.

Yan Maoqing played a charade, didn't say half of the sentence, just started it, and signaled Wan An to leave.

Wan An stood up from the red rosewood official hat chair, cupped his hands, and left Yan Maoqing's mansion full of doubts.

After returning home, he went to Lu Guangzu's house again, trying to get some information about Emperor Jiazhen from Lu Guangzu and other officials.

But he was disappointed in the end. After Lu Guangzu and other officials came back from their respective bosses' mansions, they had the same expressions as him, full of doubts.

Apparently, most of their bosses said the same thing. The benefits of the Caochangyuan involved Emperor Jiazhen, and he signaled to the officials under him to be safe and calm. They only need to wait a few days, and someone will take care of Li Mian.

Wan'an, Lu Guangzu and other officials don't need to do it themselves. The self-righteous Li Mian will be imprisoned for offending Emperor Jiazhen.

Don't even think about the prison in Shuntian Mansion, he will only be imprisoned in imperial prison.

Wan An really couldn't figure it out, and couldn't wait to know how the Caochangyuan involved Emperor Jiazhen, so he couldn't help discussing: "What did you guys say last time? I don't want to hide the truth from my colleagues. My boss talked about it. An unbelievable thing happened, and His Majesty was involved in a mere grass yard."

The few officials in the flower hall were all drinking Xiaoxianchun in silence, as if they had nothing to say.

However, their mood was the same as Wan An's, they couldn't wait to figure out the holy will, grasp the context of Emperor Jiazhen's work, and in this way, they would have the possibility of being promoted quickly.

Found a shortcut to the south.

As an official in the imperial court, one must be on guard against anyone and cannot tell the truth.

Lu Guangzu and other officials heard Wan An's words that broke the calm, and a strange atmosphere fell into the flower hall. Under the pressure of Caochangyuan, several people briefly formed cronies in the flower hall.

In order to speculate on the Zhongnan shortcut as soon as possible, Lu Guangzu and other officials stopped being taciturn and expressed their thoughts one after another.

Lu Guangzu took the lead in responding to Wan An's inquiry: "I went to the commander, and the meaning revealed from the commander's mouth is almost the same as what you said. It is all about the matter of Caochangyuan. Your Majesty, there is no need for us to act, someone will take care of Li Mian."
