King Cheng is eyeing the position of salt transport envoy of the Tian family, which is a lucrative job!
Not to mention it is a wealth of money, but at least it is the best position to make money. You no longer need to worry about money.
The Tian family used to belong to Emperor Xianqing, but now Emperor Xianqing is in poor health and the prince has lost his moral integrity. Now he and King Xuan are fighting. King Xuan seems to be not doing well lately, because of the warm things, the emperor is very dissatisfied with him.
Therefore, Cheng Wangjue can control the position of the Salt Transport Envoy in his own hands.
Half of the staff agreed, and they had even begun to look for a candidate, who must be one of King Cheng's own.
King Cheng was very satisfied with this feeling of strategizing. Like his father, he listened to his ministers' suggestions and finally made his own decision. The feeling of having the courage to decide the country with one word, and deciding life and death with one word. This is the taste of power.
Although Bai Jinyu was not very enthusiastic, he still liked Bai Jinyu very much and asked him: "Jinyu, what do you think?"
Bai Jinyu was thinking about Yuanhua's affairs and the prince's palace. The sudden divorce was not something Yuan Zimo could do. Whose advice did he get?
"Jin Yu?!"
King Cheng asked again, and Bai Jinyu came back to his senses and said: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I was thinking about something and got distracted. What did you ask me?"
There were also people who couldn't stand the fact that Bai Jinyu, at such a young age, was highly regarded by King Cheng, but the opinions of his staff were not as important as his.
They are said to be aides, but in fact they are all down-and-out scholars who have some talent but are unlucky enough to enter the officialdom. They can only work as aides first and rely on the powerful, so that they can get a chance to find an official position.
Bai Jinyu is different. He has a title, status, and money. Why should he compete with them for a job?
An aide named Wu said sourly: "As expected of the prince, he is just extraordinary. He can get distracted by such an important matter. Can you tell me what is more important than the prince's affairs?"
What about running against Bai Jinyu?
Bai Jinyu smiled coldly: "Are you telling me? I can think of better ideas than you when I'm distracted. If I have the mind to read more books, I'm getting older and the ideas I come up with are childish and stupid. I'll give you a bite of rice because of your kindness."
Eat, don’t think of yourself as a person!”
King Cheng was a little puzzled. He was very angry today!
Wu's staff was so crowded by him that he became angry and said: "Master Baihou, please respect Wu. Don't you allow others to tell you what you did wrong?"
Bai Jinyu said: "Where did I go wrong? What I think is definitely more important than what you said. I think so much that I am wrong? What big things can you achieve with such a big heart!"
Many staff supported him: "Staff Wu, we all have witnessed the intelligence of Lord Bai Hou. He must be obsessed with thinking about things. It's all for the good of the prince. Why do you have to be so weird?"
"That's right, Brother Wu, be more open-minded and don't use your words like that housewife."
King Cheng laid his hands and said, "Okay, stop arguing. Jin Yu, let's talk about the salt transport envoy. Do you think I should ask my father to get this job?"
"not good."
Bai Jinyu contradicted their opinions and said: "The emperor is currently ill, and he is even more worried about his young and powerful sons. The prince can show his abilities, but he must not be too radical.
The more times like this, the more important it is to keep a low profile. How many people are staring at the salt transport envoy’s fat salary, and the prince should avoid suspicion."
King Cheng thought it was reasonable, but he couldn't bear to miss it: "What if my second brother beats me to it?"
"His Royal Highness Prince Xuan has nothing to worry about. He made a mistake once and again. This time the princess was sent to the imperial nunnery, and the concubine's child was not very good either. It was just these matters in the inner chamber that made the emperor dissatisfied.
Can the Emperor entrust such an important errand to a man who is trapped in his inner house all day long?"
"That's right. The second brother is also unlucky. He married the sixth lady of the Wen family. Instead of getting help, he was hindered in every way. It can be seen that the old saying about marrying a virtuous wife is very true!"
Staff Wu said: "It would be different if it was the eldest lady of the Wen family. Prince Yuan has just made great contributions and the emperor is very satisfied. The Tian family was killed by Prince Jing's palace. It's a pity that we don't have much to do with the Wen family."
Others also said: "Who says it's not the case? The Wen family also has a number one pick, who is the top pick, and rich. It would be a good help to have the support of the Wen family."
"After all, the family status is low. Otherwise, the prince could marry the daughter of the Wen family, and we wouldn't have to focus on the position of the Salt Transport Envoy."
Bai Jinyu felt more and more fed up. These people only thought about conspiracies and conspiracies all day long. Can't they just do things openly?
He said: "No, the emperor will not let all the princes marry the daughters of the Wen family. Besides, not everyone is the eldest lady of the Wen family. There are many daughters of the Wen family, but there is only one Wen Yao.
King Xuan learned from the past, he thought Miss Six would help him, but in the end, he almost got himself killed."
"Oh, Mr. Marquis, I hear what you mean, do you have any inside information?"
Bai Jinyu didn't mind causing some trouble for King Xuan, since he was a competitor anyway, so he would kill one of them and lose the other: "Miss Sixth caused the concubine's fetal position to be unstable, and even loaned us money."
A single word can cause thousands of waves, murder an heir, or make loan sharks. These are all big things!
No wonder King Xuan sent her to a nunnery, and did not kill her because she was the daughter of the Wen family and to give Wen Zhuangyuan face.
"If the emperor knows these things, King Xuan will definitely not get the good news."
King Xuan's eyes lit up. He first gave his second brother some trouble and then went to give his father's eye drops tomorrow.
Bai Jinyu doesn't agree with it. Brothers are killing each other. What does the emperor think?
However, he still warned: "Your Majesty, please don't go there in person. Find a suitable person to talk to. It's also taboo for brothers to fight against each other."
"Jin Yu is right, I have written it down."
Bai Jinyu didn't say anything else. According to his opinion, there is no need to do this thing. As long as it is done, there must be traces. The emperor is so suspicious, how can it not be found?
The best way now is to wait and see what happens. It is better to do less than to do more, but King Cheng is obviously unwilling to do so. Each and every one of his staff is as if they have been beaten to death, for fear that they will no longer have any use.
Everyone worked very hard during the instigation, and when they really got into trouble, everyone was speechless when it came to the aftermath.
Bai Jinyu suddenly felt strangely bored and began to remain silent again.
He couldn't help but think of Yuanhua, what was she doing? Where was the child hiding?
He couldn't find it, and the Tian family even searched all over the capital, even dozens of miles around, but no sign of the child was found.
It seemed like he disappeared out of thin air. Yuanhua's brain definitely couldn't be so perfect. Miss Wen could only take action.
Bai Jinyu has a feeling of sympathy for Wen Yao. Ever since he married her and entered Prince Jing's palace, life has become smoother and smoother. Yuan Rui is even more highly regarded by the emperor. As the commander of the Military and Horse Division, he will not be able to work for more than a few days.
Got promoted.
I wonder which position he will be assigned to next?
