If it had been in the past, Liu Yun would have thought that Lin Jinhui's idea was a bit ridiculous, but now that her son-in-law is a highly respected official and her daughter has become a princess, she always feels a little sad when she thinks about what happened back then and feels that she owes her daughter.
It was rare that her son-in-law wanted to remarry, so she was not afraid of the trouble. She also hoped that her son-in-law could sincerely marry her daughter again, instead of being forced to marry her daughter like before.
Looking at Chu Nan Zhi with warm eyes, Liu Yun smiled kindly and said: "Da Zhi, how about you just listen to your aunt?"
"No, mother."
Chu Nanzhi replied resolutely: "Things are already complicated right now. The sealing ceremony will be held soon after the marriage is done, so don't let everyone bother you anymore."
I also know that Liu Yun has good intentions, but in comparison, she is now looking forward to the grand sealing ceremony even more.
The relationship with Lin Jinxiao has been established here, and she is already satisfied with having a ceremony.
Not wanting them to continue to dwell on this issue, Chu Nanzhi explained a few words and led Sang Qi out.
Nothing is more important than making money right now.
Although this princess's position is noble, it is also a bit hot on the butt.
There have been more and more officials and minor officials coming and going in Luyanggang County Yamen recently.
The state capital has not yet been completed, and although the county has opened many other government offices, Lin Jinxiao is used to working here. Before the state capital is built, he just wants to stay here, so all levels of the original county
Officials and government servants were moved elsewhere, replaced by promoted and dispatched state officials here for official business.
The county government office that had been used for decades suddenly became the governor's office.
Sun Wucai, the chief historian, walked into Lin Jinxiao's office with a large pile of papers and a glowing face. Seeing that he was checking the list of officials at all levels of the state government, he respectfully handed over a booklet in his hand.
He pointedly asked: "Your Highness, this is the list of officials who have been promoted from various places to the state capital during this period. They are about to be reported to the court. Does Your Highness have any questions after reading it?"
Lin Jinxiao put down the book in his hand, took the commendation list from Sun Wucai's hand and looked at it slowly. Many of them were promoted by himself, and some were promoted by other counties. He didn't know who those people were for the time being.
The details of.
"Many of the officials promoted this time are old friends of the Qinghe nobles and the Tang family. I am afraid they are all arranged to monitor His Highness."
Sun Wucai speculated cautiously.
He had worked with many county magistrates and served as county magistrate for decades, but following this former subordinate in front of him, he was directly promoted to governor of the state capital in just a few months. This was something he had never dared to think about.
It was rare for His Highness to think so highly of him, and now Sun Wucai just wished that he could serve him with all his heart, follow him to live a prosperous life, and keep this great future.
Lin Jinxiao waved his hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter. As the governor of a state and the king of a vassal, you should naturally be open-minded. Since they are all officials appointed by the imperial court, they should be treated equally. As long as they don't commit crimes, they will be treated equally.
If they violate the laws of the imperial court, I will not make things difficult for them."
"Your Highness is truly open-minded."
Sun Wucai complimented with admiration.
But he was still worried.
Just like other officials, the Tang family is not a fuel-efficient lamp.
They have recommended so many officials, all of whom hold important positions, and they are afraid that sooner or later they will be disadvantageous to His Highness.
Lin Jinxiao saw Sun Wucai's concerns and said with a half-smile while holding the list: "Don't be afraid, Mr. Chang Shi. No matter how powerful the Tang family is, they can only install officials from various places and cannot infiltrate the palace. Pingning Prefecture is still our home."
The king has the final say, but people's hearts will always change, and it's hard to say what will happen in the future."
He didn't believe that all these officials were completely devoted to the Tang family.
As the saying goes, "Capture the thief first, capture the king first." As long as Tang Ru, Lin Jinqian and his wife are dealt with, and the general power is in their hands, the subordinates below will be nothing more than a piece of loose sand.
Sun Wucai looked at his calm expression, as if he didn't have any fear at all. It seemed that he already had a countermeasure in mind, and there was no need to worry too much.
Seeing that he was still holding the list of commendations, Sun Wucai suddenly thought of something and said smoothly: "According to the usual practice, His Highness is now a very popular minister, so he should choose a relative from the clan to be conferred. The princess is virtuous, talented and virtuous.
The official boldly asks Your Highness to grant a royal title to the princess and confer a title on the lady."
Faced with Sun Wucai's sincerity, Lin Jinxiao shook his head disapprovingly: "The princess's talent indeed warrants a conferment for her, but I have another candidate in my heart. It would be true if she can be conferred the title of Lady by the imperial court."
Well deserved."
"Is there anyone else?"
Sun Wucai thought about the relatives around him in his heart, and it seemed that there was no one more talented and knowledgeable than Lady Chu.
Just as he was thinking about it, Lin Jinxiao had already picked up the Tulan pen in his hand and added a stroke to the list of awards.
Sun Wucai looked at the line of clear handwriting that clearly read, "My mother-in-law Liu Yun is virtuous and generous, and has noble moral character. I sincerely request your Majesty to grant her the title of Lady to show her virtue."
Only then did Sun Wu remember that there was such a famous person.
Although she is somewhat unknown, she is indeed a virtuous woman.
The first born of the Lin family in Luyan Gang was not a member of the clan but a woman from the Yue family, which was a bit surprising.
Lin Jinxiao didn't say much, and directly handed the list of awards back to Sun Wucai and ordered him to send it to the court.
In his heart, how precious is Chu Nanzhi that a second-grade imperial emissary can express his inner love?
With her ability, sooner or later she would be in line for position and honor. However, it was her mother-in-law Liu Yun who had been busy for half her life and never complained at all. She should be bestowed with this honor.
Just as Sun Wucai was about to turn around with the directory in hand, he thought of the recent rumors in the city that he and Mrs. Chu were going to have a new marriage, and couldn't help but say something more: "I heard that His Highness's house is arranging marriage matters. When the time comes,
I wonder if I, the official, would be honored to come and have a wedding drink?"
"nature."
Lin Jinxiao smiled and said: "This king and Mr. Chang Shi are old friends. It is natural that Mr. Chang Shi should make up for this wedding wine."
"Then it's better for me to be respectful than to obey my orders."
Sun Wucai responded happily, took the book and left with pride.
Unexpectedly, he still treats his own people as such.
At the same time, a letter from the Duwei Mansion was rushed to Jinling City.
Today, Tang Ru went to the Qinghefang area to help Princess Qian buy a shop. Tang Yuanxi and Lin Jinqian's sister-in-law stayed in the mansion and started planning to marry into Prince Pingning's palace.
It was almost certain that my sister-in-law would come forward. Tang Yuanxi was very excited and quickly said to Princess Qian: "Sister-in-law, I want to tell Brother Jinxiao the news now so that he can be mentally prepared in advance."
"Well, it is really his blessing. He grew up in a poor family in the countryside, and now he is just a very popular minister. He also married the daughter of our Tang family. He was a high-ranking person in his previous life."
Lin Jinqian agreed to her request, and sighed with some regret: "I have wronged you, sister, and can only be a concubine."
"Sister-in-law, don't think so. As long as I can stay with him, I will be satisfied."
Before entering Prince Pingning's palace, Tang Yuanxi's face already showed infinite yearning.
Lin Jinqian looked at her intoxicated expression, but she felt a little worried in her heart, and warned: "Sister, sister-in-law has done something for you, but you can't forget the agreement between you and me."
"Of course, if we, my sister-in-law, join forces, we will definitely drive that village woman out of the palace."
Tang Yuanxi swore firmly and then said, "But sister-in-law must promise me not to embarrass His Highness."
After a pause, he added: "And his four children."
"Well, don't worry, go quickly and make your brother Jinxiao happy too."
