Chapter 256 Moving
"Sister Ning, you can do it." Zhuang Qingchan held Jiang Changning's hand and said, "Sister Ning, just let Prince Jin help you choose a princess with a weak personality."
Jiang Changning didn't expect Zhuang Qingchan to have this idea, and frowned slightly, "The King of Ningxia and the Song family just wanted to get married, but they ended up like this. I'm afraid the palace won't let him get married again."
In the back house, the relationship between wives and concubines was already delicate. She did not want to get involved in the disputes between wives and concubines in the Ningxia Prince's Palace and cause a mess. She calmly took out her hand and took a sip of tea from the cup.
"But the prince is so young, he has no choice but to marry." Zhuang Qingchan wanted the king of Ningxia not to marry, but she had no qualifications or ability to stop him.
"Who the King of Ningxia wants to marry as his concubine, the Princess of Ningxia is the most qualified to decide." Jiang Changning caused trouble.
Zhuang Qingchan's eyes lit up, she had always been doing something to please the Princess of Ningxia, and she was confident that she could coax the Princess of Ningxia to marry a good princess to the King of Ningxia.
"Sister Ning, I know how to do it. Thank you for your advice."
"Just a few gossips." Jiang Changning said lightly.
Zhuang Qingchan was not stupid. She knew that Jiang Changning didn't want to take over the trouble, so she smiled and said, "I'm disturbing Sister Ning. It's okay. I'll go back first."
"Go slowly, Xiulan, let's see the guests off." Jiang Changning put down his tea cup and said with a slight smile.
The king of Ningxia just reconciled and divorced, and his remarriage was not so fast, but the position of the county princess was vacant, and there were many people coveting it.
Although it was still the period of national mourning and banquets, singing and dancing were prohibited, the Ningxia palace was still bustling with people.
Days flew by and it was the end of March. The army that had put down the civil strife in Annan returned to the capital. Prince De and Qin Zhaoxi were both promoted to the third level.
Prince De was in charge of the Ministry of Personnel and was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Qin Zhaoxi was in charge of the Ministry of Industry and was the Minister of Industry.
Crown Prince De was quite satisfied with being the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.
Qin Zhaoxi was very frustrated. He was a general who could lead troops and fight, but to be the minister of the Ministry of Works. Not only was he a man of great talent, but he was of little use, it was really inconsistent with his ambition.
"If you don't go to the Ministry of Industry, where do you want to go?" asked the Duke of Xingzhou County.
"I want to lead troops."
"The King of Jin will not agree. Your entry into the Ministry of Industry is the result of King Qing and King Yu fighting for it. Otherwise, you can only do a sinecure."
Qin Zhaoxi's face turned ugly, "The King of Jin has already covered the sky with one hand while in court?"
"That's not enough. Prince Qing and Prince Yu are here." The Duke of Xingzhou thought for a while, "The Prince of Jin is the most powerful among the four regents."
"If the late emperor had not been weakening the power of King Jin, how could he still be the most powerful?" Qin Zhaoxi asked puzzledly.
The Duke of Xingzhou sneered, "The King of Jin was as cunning as a fox and deceived the late emperor. What weakened him was only his apparent power. Secretly, he also controlled the military power and could mobilize hundreds of thousands of troops."
"This is impossible." Qin Zhaoxi blurted out.
"There is nothing impossible. The Empress Dowager still suspects that the death of the late Emperor is related to the King of Jin."
"Where's the evidence?" Qin Zhaoxi didn't think the King of Jin was bold enough to kill the king.
The Duke of Xingzhou hesitated for a moment and said: "The King of Jin went to Shandong to provide relief, but he was assassinated one after another. The people were sent by the late emperor."
"Father, what you mean is that the King of Jin knew that the late emperor wanted to get rid of him, so he got rid of the late emperor first?" Qin Zhaoxi asked in a deep voice.
"good."
Qin Zhaoxi took a deep breath and said, "The crime of regicide shall be punished by death in Lingchi."
"Prince Jin deserves to die, but there is no evidence. Everything is just the Empress Dowager's suspicion. If you want to defeat Prince Jin, you have to find ways to search for evidence."
"I know." Qin Zhaoxi reluctantly went to the Ministry of Industry and took up his post.
As soon as he took office, things started to happen and a ditch had to be opened.
Qin Tianjian said that there will be continuous heavy rains next, and the silt in the ditches in Beijing has not been removed for seven years. If they are blocked, the city will be flooded.
Although there are no ditches and wells near Jiang's house, there is one across the street. Too much silt was dug out, and it was not all transported away at once. It was piled up in the corner, giving off a stench.
"Ouch, I'm really going to be smoked to death." The concubine covered her mouth and nose and said in a muffled voice.
"I've been doing this for two or three days, why haven't I finished it yet? It really stinks." Yan Yinyao was also so drunk that he couldn't stand it.
Jiang Changning walked in wearing a homemade mask, "Concubine, the palace has been disinfected and has been left to dry for a while. Why don't we move back in advance?"
To avoid acne, you usually avoid it for a hundred days, but the stench here is unbearable.
"Hurry up and clean up. We will move today. If the smoke continues, my life will be shortened by three years." The concubine did not dare to take a deep breath.
When it was time to move back to the palace, the servants in the house were busy. The door of Jiang's house was opened, and the carriage was parked at the door. It was a bit messy.
Qin Zhaoxi came over for inspection and frowned when he saw this scene, "What happened to the Jiang family?"
"Nothing happened to the Jiang family. It's Princess Jin who is moving back to the palace with the young prince." The official who knew about the situation replied.
"Princess Jin lives here with the young prince?" Qin Zhaoxi couldn't believe it.
"I think I moved here at the end of January. It's already early April now, and I've been living here for two months."
Qin Zhaoxi clenched his fists and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth, "He Lianyu, you deserve to die."
The woman he couldn't get, the woman he wanted to hold in his palm, was so abused, it was infuriating!
Prince Jin, who was reading the memorial, sneezed twice in a row.
Prince Qing raised his head and said, "It's early summer and the weather has turned warm. Why are you still sneezing? Young people should practice more, otherwise their bodies and bones will be too weak."
"Uncle Prince Qing, haven't you ever heard of thinking, scolding, and nagging?" King Jin chuckled lightly, "I'm not suffering from the cold, but someone is scolding me."
As for who this villain is, it is self-evident.
"As an uncle, you care about your nephew's health, but your nephew doesn't appreciate it. It's really hard to be an uncle." King Qing pointed out that King Jin was the villain.
"It's my nephew's fault that I didn't feel my uncle's concern." King Jin secretly mocked King Qing for his hypocrisy.
After a heated exchange of words, the uncle and nephew lowered their heads and continued to read the memorial.
At the Jiang residence, the luggage was packed. Jiang Changning came out with his son in his arms. Looking at the long carriage, he sighed: "Moving is really an event that involves a lot of effort."
Qin Zhaoxi, who had not left, saw her and walked over, "Miss Jiang."
Jiang Changning was stunned and then smiled, "General Qin, why are you here?"
"I work as an errand at the Ministry of Industry and came here for inspection." Qin Zhaoxi's eyes fell on the fat baby in her arms. The miniature version of King Jin looked quite cute.
"Master Qin is really dedicated to his duties." Jiang Changning praised seriously.
"I can't afford the girl's praise. I'm just pursuing my own affairs in my position and fulfilling my duties." Qin Zhaoxi smiled modestly.
At this time, Princess Jin and Princess Kangren came out of the house. Qin Zhaoxi was not surprised. He thought it was Princess Jin who came to take his daughter-in-law home on behalf of his son.
"I would like to express my regards to the concubine." Qin Zhaoxi saluted.
"This is Prince Qin, no need to be polite," the concubine said with help.
The place was too smelly, and the two families were political enemies, so there was no need to talk. When Yan Yinyao and his daughter came out, Jiang Changning and his party got on the carriage.
Qin Zhaoxi stood outside the closed door of Jiang's house and watched them leave.
