In the next few days, Qi Yu went to and from the Yamen on time and lived a regular life.
Since you have been promoted to an official position, you naturally have to move to a larger office to sit in. This is true in ancient and modern times.
Coincidentally, the new office is next to Zhao Mingyu and Mrs. Zhao's room, and the rooms are next to each other.
This is very conducive to communication at work, and you can also have some tea by the way.
For now, the two of them have the same official position as the temple minister of Xingtaipu Temple, and the same rank is the sixth rank. Now that they sit like this, they have become a real match.
In fact, sitting on equal terms is the real meaning.
While Zhao Mingyu drank tea, he roughly recounted what happened during the period after Qi Yu left Beijing.
According to his words, the current court has some changes compared to before, which is worthy of analysis and speculation.
The details are as follows.
The first is Zhong Yi, the chief minister of the cabinet. His career prospects suddenly became 'unpredictable'.
So what kind of unpredictable method is it?
As we all know, this year is his final year in office, which means he should retire. The emperor will also elect a new chief minister in advance and reorganize the cabinet.
As for the ways of becoming an official, it can be roughly divided into two types: active employment and forced employment. In layman's terms, they are voluntary resignation and passive resignation.
For reasons of face, Chief Minister Zhong did not wait for the emperor to urge him, and took the initiative to beg for the bones. Surprisingly, the emperor actually rejected the offer, and even persuaded Mr. Zhong to stay in office for one term.
This is a bit strange!
As we all know, the emperor does not like these elders of the three dynasties. When he first came to Dabao, he began to plan the replacement of the old with the new. Now that the chief minister has finally retired, why did he not just go with the flow and reject the begging?
This is unreasonable and completely unjustifiable!
As a result, some people began to speculate, saying that the emperor's move was not actually out of sincerity, but was a courtesy move for the sake of face.
Some people also say that this is the king deliberately testing the old chief minister's mind to see if he is really willing to let go of his power.
But in this way, the initiative was lost to Zhong Yi.
So what did he do?
In fact, he has not expressed his opinion yet!
Yes, he neither agreed to the emperor's request to stay nor insisted on becoming an official, but maintained a cautious wait-and-see attitude.
It seemed that he was also trying to figure out the emperor's intentions.
This subtle relationship between the monarch and his ministers directly affected the overall atmosphere in the court. All the officials widened their eyes and observed the various interactions between the monarch and his ministers.
But in the end, there was no so-called interaction.
The emperor was still in court, and Zhong Yi was on duty and off duty as always. The two were as comfortable as usual, with almost no dialogue, which was really puzzling.
Affected by Zhong Yi, his son-in-law Yin Jun also became cautious in his interactions.
When talking about Yin Jun, we have to mention his promotion speed.
At present, he has been promoted to the fourth rank of the Imperial Censor, and has become a new noble in the officialdom. This kind of promotion can definitely be regarded as a meteoric rise.
No need to guess, these are all from the secret operations of the old chief assistant.
What is strange is that the emperor had no objection to the old chief minister's behavior of "promoting talents without avoiding relatives", and instead praised Yin Jun's talent.
Not only that, the emperor also made an exception and allowed Yin Jun, a fourth-rank official, to attend the court in the palace, which was quite meant to be a key training.
Listening to the court is about participating in and discussing government affairs. It is a qualification that only officials of the third rank or above have. It cannot be said that there are no officials of the fourth rank to listen to the court, but it is extremely rare.
As a result, a very rare scene appeared in the court: Weng and his son-in-law were in the same court.
Hearing this, Qi Yu couldn't help but sigh: As the saying goes, finding a good father-in-law can save ten years of hard work. Looking at it now, this is more than ten years? It is literally half a life!
However, Yin Jun is not particularly comfortable at the moment. His future will largely depend on whether his father-in-law is re-elected.
Everything is still unknown!
After saying this, Zhao Mingyu made a concluding statement: No matter how you say it, the emperor's attitude towards Zhong Shoufu is pretty good, and can almost be called 'friendly'. From this point of view, his prognosis should not be bad!
…
After returning home from the Yamen, Qi Yu went into the study and prepared to write and rush to work.
"The Fighting Knife in the Wind" has been suspended for more than a month. If we don't work hard to catch up on the manuscript, I guess Editor Xiong of Xiong's Literary Society will come over with a butcher knife to urge updates.
Fortunately, there is only the last volume left to write. Calculating the time, I should be able to finish it within a month.
Qi Yu decided to take a break after writing this novel, and then read more ancient and modern classics to let his writing skills deepen.
After leaving the study, Qi Yu went directly back to the dormitory.
The candlelight flickered in the room, which was as warm as water, very relaxing and quiet.
Lying on the bed was a seductive figure. Her curves were graceful and graceful, just like the undulating mountains seen on the top of Mount Tai. They were beautiful and varied.
Gee, it’s quite tempting~~
Otherwise, what to do?
good!
Qi Yu had just stretched out his claws when he suddenly saw his wife turning around and looking at him with twinkling eyes.
It seems that a sneak attack is impossible~~
"Ahem! Madam, you haven't slept yet, uh... I just want to cover you with a quilt."
Seeing his anxious state, Liu Quan couldn't help but smile and said: "My lord, please lie down quickly, I have something to ask you!"
Qi Yu took off his clothes, lay down and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"
Liu Quan pulled the quilt to cover him, then got into his arms and said seriously: "Ms. sir, let me ask you, did you go to Shandong Mansion to do something big?"
Qi Yu was suddenly startled and frowned: "Who did you listen to?"
"It seems so!" Then, Liu Quan's tone suddenly turned sour and said, "I asked Tong Yanhuo privately, and he said that when you went to Shandong, you didn't just catch crickets, you also did other things.
Listen to him, you were chased by a group of Donglu people, and you happened to be rescued by him. In addition, you also buried a very beautiful woman! Well, tell me, what is going on?
?”
That’s what happened!
I am also serious, why did I forget to tell Tong Yanhuo?
Fortunately, he didn't know much, otherwise, wouldn't those secrets be impossible to keep?
It seems that I will have a good talk with him someday!
As for the focus of the lady's attention, it is undoubtedly that beautiful woman!
This kind of thing must be given a reasonable explanation, otherwise, the consequences will be serious.
Therefore, Qi Yu avoided the important and chose the light, and said only what he could say.
He told Liu Quan clearly that the woman was Princess Chuan of the Yongchuan Palace. While running errands for the emperor, he also took a personal revenge!
After the doubts were cleared, the strong sour smell began to dissipate.
The atmosphere has also become much more harmonious.
Liu Quan said with some worry: "Ms. sir, we don't ask for great wealth or great honor, nor do we seek to avenge any family feud. I just ask that our family be safe. Alas, if something like this happens again in the future, you will still
Please politely refuse the Emperor."
"Um……"
Seeing that his wife was worried, Qi Yu quickly brought the topic to his daughter's studies to distract her attention.
Unexpectedly, after Liu Quan took over the conversation, he brought the topic to Tong Yanhuo.
Um?
What does his daughter's study have to do with him?
have!
Liu Quan sighed quietly: "Ms. sir, you are right in saying that our daughter is indeed a difficult person to deal with. Maybe you don't know yet, but she actually went to learn the martial arts style from Tong Yanhuo behind our backs."
"You said she... fell in love with martial arts?"
"Well, she also came up with a weird idea. She taught Tong Yanhuo how to read, and Tong Yanhuo taught her martial arts in exchange..."
Oh, what a weird idea!
But practicing martial arts is not a bad thing. If she wants to practice, then just practice.
After talking about this, Qi Amo became a little dishonest.
"Mr. Sir, it's better to turn out the lights."
"Hey, take off your clothes after smelling the fragrance, and go to bed in a dark way. My lady's suggestion is exactly what I want!"
puff!
The lights are out!
Next comes a plot that is difficult to describe.
It can only be said that after being promoted, Qi Dalang felt refreshed and full of energy, and he was able to kill more people than that fierce cricket with 'black steel teeth'.
In the darkness, I could only hear him murmuring an eternal absolute: The spring in the cave is endless, and the breeze from the mountain is coming!
