I want my green plum to become a phoenix (rebirth)

At first, Wang Yan only revealed a little tone, but since Wang Heng went south, it seems that the court has really become less peaceful.Even though Hui Niang puts all her attention on her daughter and family affairs, some news will always reach her ears.Not to mention, as the prince, Wang Yan registered in front of Emperor Longning. He had the impression that he was a capable son who could do errands for him. He watched these things every day. A few words for Anise to know.

Moreover, as a princess and concubine, she doesn't know anything about state affairs, which is a bit too shameful.

In addition, Hui Niang is also very close to Qin Jiahong and Princess Rongcheng. When everyone talks, although most of them are based on their parents' opinions, it is inevitable that there will be some current political news mixed in during the conversation.

Because of this relationship, Hui Niang is well aware of the recent major events in the court: there has always been a lot of rain in June, and this year it has become a disaster, and many dams along the Yangtze River in the south of the Yangtze River have been washed away , Thousands of miles of farmland were destroyed, and the court has been busy raising money and food for more than a month to help the victims, but of course corrupt officials are indispensable, taking the opportunity to enrich their own pockets.

At the same time, the pirates of the southeast generation refused to stop, and there was news that some officials of the southeast generation had secretly communicated with the pirates and sent out the news. The pirates knew that Jiangnan was in chaos recently, so they took the opportunity to make trouble.

Originally it was just a rumor, and if Emperor Longning didn't want it to be heard, he had to appoint officials to investigate. Even the eunuchs in the Jiangnan, Lianghuai, and Huaihe areas also went through a thorough investigation.In previous years, there were imperial envoys who went to investigate these matters, but it was just a small matter. Local officials gave some gifts in private and entertained them graciously, and they managed to perfunctory.Only those who really don't look good will be taken out and made into rafts, and the rest will only be punished slightly, how effective it is is still a matter of debate.

But this time, at first, it seemed that there was no difference from previous years, but after more than two months of investigation, a large number of people were brought up. After hearing only an approximate number of people, Hui Niang was already dumbfounded and couldn't help asking Wang. Yan: "Why are so many people found out? If it's all officials, wouldn't there be no one in the official circles in the Jiangnan area?"

Wang Yan didn't deliberately hide her from her, and when she asked her, he said truthfully, "This time the commotion was indeed a bit big, and there were indeed so many people--this is to be sympathetic, otherwise it would be almost one person. No one can stay."

"Then in previous years..."

There was a strange smile on Wang Yan's lips—for the past two years, Wang Yan often showed such an expression whenever he talked about the affairs of the court. How many things were fueled and even planned by Wang Yan behind the scenes.

"In the southeast and Jiangnan areas, I have been close to my third brother these years, and my third brother is protecting me. Officials in the capital city are unwilling to investigate when they go to Jiangnan, and they have money..." He had a little coldness on his face, "Also Only this time the third brother is not in the capital, and the disciples of Mr. Zhao Ge are the ones who went down, so we can find out these people."

Now when Hui Niang hears these things, she feels a headache, but she can't really turn a deaf ear.Moreover, although she is impatient to put her mind and energy on these intriguing political affairs, she is not stupid. After Wang Yan mentioned these few words, she has already woken up: Perhaps, this matter has caused a lot of trouble from the very beginning. When Wang Heng led troops to Funan to fight the rebellion, it was just a game.

Even going back further, when the imperial court wanted Wang Heng to marry Princess Funan, these scholar-officials secretly made two preparations—and this marriage may have been the original purpose of Mr. Zhao Ge’s revenge on Wang Heng. The riot started because of behind-the-scenes support for Princess Qin Jiayunshang's affairs.

It's not difficult to link these things together, but Aninian only feels a headache when she thinks about it.She also really admired these princes and ministers, thinking about this and that all day long, and her scheming was almost used up before she got married.

Seeing that Anise was not very enthusiastic about this matter, Wang Yan changed the subject after making a brief mention.But in my heart, I can't help but still linger on this matter: this matter, from the beginning to the end, he is indeed behind the scenes.At the beginning of his rebirth, he set himself a few things to do his best to rehabilitate Bai Shanqing, take this opportunity to gain Emperor Longning's attention, and strengthen Qin Jiahong. This is to lay the foundation for the next few major events. The foundation, and he did get it done.

As for marrying Bai Shanqing's granddaughter and Qin Jiahong's cousin, it was really a surprise to him.In fact, there were a few threads that she didn't quite understand about Hui Niang. He originally valued this point, and thought that Hui Niang would not cause him any trouble, which led to his marriage.After that, the husband and wife respected each other and had a daughter, which was even more unexpected joy for him.

But the next few things were all obstructed by Wang Heng.In particular, the fact that Qin Jiahong became a son-in-law really disrupted Wang Yan's arrangement-how much effort did Wang Yan spend in this life to form a friendship with Qin Jiahong?Originally, he wanted to subdue Qin Jiahong and be his helper, but now he can only turn from the light to the dark... Many things have become tied up, and it is difficult to do it step by step.

If he didn't pay back and go back, wouldn't he suffer a dull loss for nothing?

Fortunately, through Qin Jiahong's affairs, he hooked up with Mr. Zhao Ge.But in the final analysis, it was because of Bai Shanqing that Mr. Zhao Ge paid special attention to Qin Jiahong, and he was willing to deal with him, the king of Tan, at such a sensitive time. The two sides hit it off in the matter of stumbling Wang Heng, and Qin Jiahong was in the middle to mediate , Arranged a few tricks quietly.

The princess of Funan Kingdom came to the court to ask for help, which he could know in advance, and because the time when Qin Jiayu Shang Princess happened not long ago, he had a brainstorm and came up with the idea of ​​matching Wang Heng and the princess of Funan Kingdom. It would be good to change fate and alienate Wang Heng from the Qin family, but even if he couldn't, it would be a good thing to cause Wang Heng a little trouble, or even add a little trouble between him and Qin Jiazhi.

As for the idea of ​​asking Wang Heng to lead the troops to help Princess Funan and King Funan put down the rebellion after the next plan failed, it was Zhao Ge who came up with it.This time when something happened in Jiangnan and Southeast, the investigation of those officials was also handled by Mr. Zhao Ge. According to Qin Jiahong's tone, Mr. Zhao Ge had long intended to disturb the official circles of the southeast coast and Lianghuai generation.

***

The three words "move, move" sounded easy to say, but actually caused an uproar both inside and outside the government and the public.If the matter is only limited to the southeast and south of the Yangtze River, the influence will be limited after all, although it is great.However, I don't know how to find out the introduction, but this involvement directly involved an old man.

This old man surnamed Zhou has also been in the cabinet for five or six years, but he is quiet on weekdays. Hui Niang doesn't have a deep impression of him, and she often can't remember that there is such a cabinet minister.However, when Mr. Zhou Ge was unknowingly uncovered, and quickly publicized to everyone in Beijing, Hui Niang would never ignore Mr. Zhou again.

In recent days, when all the female family members in Beijing get together, the topic will always unknowingly revolve around Master Zhou. "I'm afraid that in order to buy this background back then, he also put a lot of thought into it - thanks to his meticulous work, a fake background has not been found out after so many years, I don't know how much money he spent. "

"My family is a merchant. How can I not make money? By the way, Mr. Zhou, was he promoted from the Ministry of Households in his early years?"

"That's right, he has all the skills, and it's easy to get ahead in a place like the Ministry of Household Affairs. After he entered the cabinet, didn't he have no voice?"

These wives and grandmas from rich and noble families, which one of them didn't talk about these things in a clear way?When Hui Niang came out to socialize occasionally, she only listened to her a little bit. After going there a few times, she had a general understanding of Mr. Zhou's affairs.

Turning around, he also told Wang Yan as a joke, "In this world, there are really all kinds of new things. Mr. Zhou's background was bought with money - it's hard for him, a bought fame, To be promoted by him step by step, and to enter the cabinet, how many civil servants will never reach this height in their entire lives!"

Wang Yan is naturally more familiar with Mr. Zhou, and speaking of it, he is not as disapproving as other officials' wives, "Mr. Zhou, although I haven't dealt with him much, I also know that he was diligent in his early years and often had to go to the office. Feng praised——Although he never speaks for the third brother explicitly in the court, but he gets very close to the third brother in private, maybe he deliberately hides his power and bide his time, but it cannot be said that this person has no real ability."

Even he, after being reborn in the first life, took out those things of the previous life over and over again, chewing and pondering, and only then did he see through the secret line between Wang Heng and Elder Zhou Ge.Wang Heng is very close to the southeast and Jiangnan areas, but his growth trajectory has nothing to do with Jiangnan, and none of his direct descendants in Beijing are from Jiangnan.If there is a relationship like Mr. Zhou Ge, then it makes sense.Wang Yan also saw this layer first, had doubts in his heart, and then confirmed this relationship after some supporting evidence.

However, Mr. Zhao Ge didn’t reveal the news to him. How did Mr. Zhao Ge’s people find out, even in such a detailed way, that even the things in the early years were completely overturned. It’s not that Wang Yan can inquire about it now. It's clear.He doesn't have that status now, and Mr. Zhao Ge has reservations about him after all. Although the two sides cooperate secretly, they will not tell him all the details and the cards in their hands.

Hui Niang didn't expect that Wang Yan's evaluation of Elder Zhou Ge was not low, she curled her lips slightly, but she didn't care, "According to what you said, Elder Zhou is under your third brother this time, so I'm afraid his status is not low? You If the third brother heard the news, why should he be in a hurry? I heard that things are going well in Funan? What about the Uncle Regent, who has already taken people away?"

"I have already left Funan King's Capital." Wang Yan only heard some news about Funan, but he didn't know the details—but he knew better than Hui Niang, "Third Brother has already protected the Princess of Funan They entered their capital with Little Funan King, so it can be regarded as recovery."

"Then why don't you hurry back to Beijing?"

Wang Yan smiled slightly, and said a shocking sentence in a mysterious tone, "Whether the third brother will return to Beijing is still a matter for the two of you."

The author has something to say: Done!
