Chapter 697: Changes in the Court

After the regent of the Zhenyi Kingdom left with his people, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty could not breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation in the south is a bit tense now, and the papers sent by the ministers from the south are being thrown at the court like snow.

  No matter how many twists and turns there were, Emperor Yongchang always ignored them.

When the ministers in the court saw this, they could only close their mouths and pretend to be dumb.

Anyone with a pair of eyes can see this situation now. The emperor is focused on the so-called spiritual blood pills and has no interest in government affairs at all. Every time he comes to court, he just deals with things.

 Perhaps it was because another year had passed and the emperor's anger became much stronger.

I heard that yesterday the chief envoy from the south came to remonstrate with the emperor. As a result, he was kicked out by the emperor within the time of entering the royal study and was beaten ten times.

Even now, the man is still in the official pavilion.

What can the southern chief minister do when he enters the palace?

Naturally, I want to implore the emperor to send more manpower to the south. After all, there are previous examples in Huaishang, which are all in the south. Everyone is afraid of the past happening again.

As a result, no minister in the court dared to give advice at will.

The word "South" has become a forbidden word that cannot be spoken in the court.

 The emperor is fatuous and the court is corrupt. Those high-ranking officials who were once honest and upright are now beginning to fish in troubled waters.

Every time Hua Yaoting stood in the court, she felt so distressed that it was difficult to breathe.

Even several times, he wanted to take the initiative to lead troops to the south, but he was blocked by King Heshuo.

 The current situation is obvious. It is difficult to be an upright official, but it is easy for traitorous ministers to live a good life. Even if you have great ambitions, you can't live with your body at this juncture.

 As long as the green hills are still there, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.

Just when the courtiers were pretending to be deaf and dumb, the eighth prince took the initiative to ask for an audience with the emperor. He even offered to take care of the emperor's worries and was willing to go to the south to take charge in person.

Princes are naturally different from ministers, especially in the emperor's mind. The eighth prince has always been waiting to die. Even if he is better than the sixth prince, he is not much better.

Now that the eighth prince personally requested the order, Emperor Yongchang was still a little confused, "Why do you want to go south in such a good way?"

 Haven’t you been forced by the prince?

Otherwise, when he is full and full, he will have to go to the south to suffer!

The eighth prince swallowed the grievance in his heart, thinking about the prince's instructions when he came, and respectfully replied, "Although my father is in his prime, in the eyes of his sons, my father is working hard for the country and the people, and working hard for the stability of the people. Your Majesty, I know that I am ashamed of the kindness I have given to my father in raising me over the years, and I am very worried when I heard that my father has been asking the imperial doctor to check his pulse recently. Therefore, I am willing to share my worries for my father, and I only hope that my father can meditate and cultivate. Dragon body."

These words played right into Emperor Yongchang’s wish.

Emperor Yongchang went to Longyan Hall one after another to find imperial doctors, so he had other plans.

But now the eighth prince's words have helped Emperor Yongchang find a very good reason. As long as he claims to be sick, he can openly ignore the government affairs and leave the imperial doctor in Longyan Hall.

"In that case, you should prepare." Emperor Yongchang was obviously very pleased with the Eighth Prince. Then he thought that Huaishang was also in the south. If the Eighth Prince went there, he could help him monitor him. Every move in Huaishang was made to prevent the prince from getting too close to the gangsters in Huaishang, which killed two birds with one stone.

 The eighth prince bowed with tears in his eyes, "My son... I obey."

 That afternoon, Emperor Yongchang called several ministers to the imperial study room.

By the morning of the next day, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew that the Eighth Prince was about to go south.

Upon hearing the news, the Southern Chief Minister dragged his red and swollen buttocks into the palace. He was so excited that he shed tears in the court. The eighth prince did not have any extraordinary abilities, but it was better to have someone to take charge than nothing.

 However, the ministers in the DPRK expressed doubts about this. The Eighth Prince likes to scheme the most, and now he is still rushing forward even though he knows that he is going to the south to suffer hardships?

His head must be clamped by the door frame!

Just when the ministers couldn't figure out what evil wind the Eighth Prince had, Subei handed over the papers.

Years ago, the fifth prince arrived in Subei to provide relief to the people, and the disaster in Subei was alleviated. The people in Subei were grateful for the fifth prince's rescue of the fire and floods, and actually wrote a joint letter to the local yamen in order to help the fifth prince petition the court. achievement.

The common people have all written a joint letter. They are afraid that the fifth prince will not be able to escape this promotion. Now he is waiting for him to come back and see where the emperor plans to place him.

At this time, what else can’t the ministers figure out?

It must be that the eighth prince saw that the fifth prince was taking advantage of Subei, so he thought of going to the south to make meritorious service and obtain an official position.

Fan Qingyao was a little suspicious when he learned the news.

The fifth prince went to Subei to provide disaster relief in the name of the imperial court. Generally, few people could find out personal information from the imperial court, and it was really unbelievable that they were so united.

"Miss, letter." Ningtian opened the curtain and entered the door, respectfully placing the letter on the table.

Fan Qingyao picked up the letter and opened it. It turned out that it was written by Tianyu to report safety.

But between the lines, there are complaints about Ji Yuze everywhere. He said he came to visit her, but in fact, he just threw the man and woman from the Su family to her side and ran to Subei alone. As she wrote When I wrote the letter, he had not returned yet.

 Fan Qingyao, “…”

 Finally found the source.

It’s no wonder that the fifth prince gained the reputation of Subei. It turned out that Ji Yuze secretly contributed to it.

Based on Baili Fengming's calculations, I am afraid that he had thought carefully before sending away the fifth prince, otherwise everything would not seem to be reasonable and perfect.

Tianyu also wrote in the letter that Su Shaoxi’s sister was not easy to get along with. Not only did she have to take care of their food and drink every day, she was also responsible for scheming with Su Shaoxi’s sister.

Fan Qingyao smiled when she saw this. This period of time was not in vain, so she didn't need to worry too much.

Just watching, Fan Qingyao couldn't help but laugh. He suddenly stood up and walked out with his cloak.

Tao Yuxian's place was busy, and several daughters-in-law ran to her mother-in-law to chat. Then they heard Aunt He coming to report, "Old madam, the young lady is here."

Tao Yuxian was stunned and said, "Let someone come in."

Fan Qingyao came very quickly. After seeing his grandmother and third daughter-in-law Peihan, he exhaled softly and said with a smile, "Grandma, third aunt, Tianyu plans to get married next month!"

 Tao Yuxian, "?"

  Third daughter-in-law Peihan, "!"

 Other daughters-in-law, “?!”

Fan Qingyao smiled and handed the letter over, "This was just delivered to me."

After everyone took the letter and looked at it carefully, they realized that it turned out that this year Tianyu was Zhiji. Ji Yuze knew that if Zijian delayed and failed to get married, even if they did get engaged, people would be criticized, so he suggested to Tianyu to keep quiet outside. After the situation in the main city stabilizes, she will be given an eight-carriage sedan chair.

Tianyu really didn't expect Ji Yuze to be so considerate, so he agreed as soon as his head was hot. After Ji Yuze came back from Subei, the two got married quietly.

No, after getting excited, I thought of my family and wrote back to apologize.
