Xue Pan shook his head and said: "No, if he is going to be the queen, he can accept the side concubine. Mom, isn't the side concubine a concubine?"

Aunt Xue laughed angrily and said: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the beast. In the century since the founding of the country, there have been only four kings with different surnames. Now there is only one king of Beijing. His family Zhao Guogong was relied on by the emperor to hold the sky. King, you dare to think..."

Xue Pan's face hurt, and he gasped and said, "Mom, that's because Zhao Guogong is in Dayan, so naturally he doesn't have the chance to become king. But brother Qiang will open the sea in the future, so he can occupy a place outside at random, isn't it possible? Feng Wang?"

Aunt Xue understood, and spat: "Are you fooling a ghost? Occupying an island that doesn't shit like a bird, and sealing a grass-headed sea king is also counted?"

Xue Pan pursed his lips and laughed, and said: "You always care how he became the king? It's just for a title, and he doesn't want to be rich and honored by him. Mom, believe me! My sister is now in this position. To the point, my elder brother is at fault, and you have done a lot of stupid things with good intentions..."

Aunt Xue said angrily: "Fuck your mother! When have I ever done something stupid?"

Xue Pan stared at Aunt Xue with wide eyes and said: "What happened to the golden and jade marriage two years ago? My sister wears gold, when did she have to find a Dai Yu to match? Even an inconspicuous person like me knows that my daughter The name of the family is the most important thing, how can it be passed on to both houses? And the prince and side concubine..."

"Brother, stop talking!"

Seeing Aunt Xue's pale face after being scolded, Baochai couldn't bear it, and stopped Xue Pan.

Xue Pan swallowed his anger, and said: "Mom, I won't talk about the past, but I can't make mistakes in the future. The younger sister has been delayed, otherwise the position of the concurrent wife belongs to the younger sister. What about the Yin family?"

Don't you call it a maggot-hearted beast?

Aunt Xue was so angry that she said in a trembling voice: "Okay, I don't care about your affairs or your sister's affairs from now on. I'll see what kind of good situation you can make! I don't care about any means to become king, just a little bit. In the future, if your sister is treated as a concubine, you should prepare the rope and birthday materials for me in advance!"

Xue Pan scratched his head when he heard the words, should these words be bluffing?

But speaking of longevity materials, how could he have thought that there was a good coffin in the shop...

bah bah bah!

This kind of thinking is bad, it is suitable for a thunder strike!

……

Buzhengfang, Linfu.

Zhonglin Hall.

Lin Ruhai was at home tonight, when he saw Jia Qiang and Daiyu coming in, he smiled and nodded.

Aunt Mei boasted: "Every time I see a brother and a girl coming together, I always feel like they are walking down from a painting. Even a golden boy and a jade girl are nothing more than that."

Lin Ruhai smiled and asked Jia Qiang, "How are the two children?"

Seeing the ceremony, Jia Qiang smiled and said, "Eat and sleep, and sleep and eat, that's all right."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Daddy, don't ask him, he and sister Xiaojing are both unreliable. They are too busy to go home all day, and we don't see as much. My sister looks stronger than my brother. Many, sister Xiaojing also wants Li Zheng to inherit the Li family's family business in the future, I look at Xuan, who looks delicate and quiet at this age, and most likely wants to study in the future."

Aunt Mei smiled and said, "It's amazing, you're starting to worry now?"

Daiyu's pretty face immediately turned red, and Buyi said angrily, "My aunt made fun of me!"

Lin Ruhai couldn't hear this, and felt a little sad after all, and said: "Go to the back and talk, didn't you just prepare the baby's clothes? Show them to Yu'er."

Aunt Mei and Daiyu went out talking and laughing together. After the two left, Jia Qiang told the story of Han Bin's visit.

Lin Ruhai nodded slightly and said: "I know about this matter, it has been discussed in the Hall of Martial Arts. Right now, people are panicking everywhere, and many government affairs have been affected. If things go on like this, there is no solution. And Jing Chaoyun... the other generation has been silent, this letter to Wu Ying The palace, even the emperor was alarmed, so we must be cautious."

Jia Qiang nodded and said, "The half-mountain said that this is the bottom line of the opposite party. The court must grasp the scales to force them to retreat step by step at the least cost. But I don't quite understand that King Ning is actually their bottom line? An Sheng retreats." Wouldn't it be good to go down to be raised? Being involved in such a sensitive case is not beneficial to them or their family at all...Why bother? "

Lin Ruhai said with a chuckle: "You are still young, and you don't understand what it's like for an old man who has retired to see his life's achievements and glory go down the drain, and there is a lot of noise around him. It's only natural for him to do this. In fact, we have been waiting for him to make a move. If he keeps silent, we will be more afraid. Now that he has finally made a move, it is easy to handle. How, can you convince the empress?"

Jia Qiang blinked and said, "This shouldn't be difficult?"

He said again: "Sir, when I left the palace earlier, I was stopped by the chief eunuch Mudi of Fengzao Palace, and I asked a question about the carriage..."

After hearing this, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang with a complex expression, and said, "It seems that that person really regards you as one of his own. You are so courageous, and clever enough! Because the princes have accidents again and again, the emperor treats her very well. A suspicion has already arisen. But after this turmoil, this kind of grudge has obviously disappeared. Ruthless, accurate, and bold, they have already grasped the true meaning of the three flavors. But, you have to be careful..."

Jia Qiang was startled when she heard this, and said, "Sir, what am I worried about..."

Lin Ruhai said softly: "Even parents, children and grandchildren can be put to death in order to survive. Do you think that there is another woman in the world who can do this? Parents and children are like this, let alone you?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Actually, I'm still a little relieved. After all, I'm not as ruthless as Wu Zhao. Otherwise, at least one of the emperor's grandsons will be killed. If one of them really dies and someone's life is lost, it will be a huge movement of heaven and earth. The current situation, on the contrary, shows that he still has a bottom line in his heart."

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and said: "I'm a sensible person. I know that Dayan can't get out of Wu Zhao, and she can't get out of Empress Dowager Xiao. What he's doing now is also for self-protection...Qiang'er, in any case, for Fengzao Palace, you'd better Don't get too involved."

Jia Qiang nodded slowly and replied: "Sir, what you said is that no one knows how deep the water is... the disciples will pretend not to know. But sir, go to Fengzao Palace to persuade you, and you must know that King Ning What will happen to him. Will he come out again?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and said, "Come out? With so many incidents, if you don't cultivate your virtue, King Ning will probably spend his whole life studying in Jingyang Palace."

Chapter 874 Baoyu's Big Wedding

"I heard that in the past two days there has been a lot of movement in the Haishi Yamen, and there have been a lot of rumors. Some military generals said that you and that kid from the Dong family of Xuande Hou are messing around with a yellow-mouthed child, and there are many opinions in the army... Is it important or not?"

After talking about the business, Lin Ruhai looked at Jia Qiang with concern and asked.

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "It's okay, just ignore what those bureaucrats are doing, a bunch of trash who only drink soldiers' blood..."

Lin Ruhai reminded: "The fierceness of the struggle in the army is by no means inferior to that of the civil servants of the imperial court, and it is even more bloody and cruel. Don't be careless. Although you are quite talented, you may not be able to compete with the entire official class. Even the admirals are abolished. This is smashing those people's jobs."

Jia Qiang thought for a while and said, "It's not that I'm arrogant and want to fight against the entire official class, it's just that the Liangyang Marine Division is really useless. There are not many ships that can go to sea, but there are a lot of officials, almost more than soldiers. As far as the East China Sea Division is concerned, there are one admiral, two commanders, five lieutenants, four generals, nine guerrillas, and 27 commanders! There are also 65 guards, 99 generals, and [-] generals. name!

As for the Dongyang Marine Division, the number of soldiers reported was only 300.Excluding the vacancies, it would be thankful to have 500 people.There were no more than a dozen boats, and they were all leaky and broken boats.

The admiral is a high-ranking officer who is in charge of the military affairs of a province, and this is the result?It became a joke!

In fact, it’s no wonder that every year the imperial court allocates the military expenditures for foreign naval forces to distribute fat to officials. Where is the money to buy new ships? "

Lin Ruhai said: "So, in the documents reported to the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households, the Haishi Yamen drastically abolished [-]% of the military officers? Do you know that a new Haishi Yamen was opened to lead the Dayan Foreign Navy? People are waiting for the fat? Now you are not changing people, but directly abolishing the official position. This move is tantamount to overturning the table and greatly breaking the rules of the officialdom. Not to mention the military officer, even the civil servants are quite critical. Qiang'er, why? The teacher is not teaching you to be with the light and the dust, and to go with them. But is there a more tactful way to resolve the conflict? Even if the official position is vacant, it will be filled when the sea division grows stronger in the future, wouldn’t it be good? You You know, it’s easy to cancel now, but it’s even more difficult to add in the future, and I don’t know how much it will take.”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "If the seat is empty, it will be a troublesome thing. I don't know how many people try their best to make a living, and many things cannot be refused..."

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly puzzled, "Is there anyone else you can't refuse?"

Jia Qiang coughed dryly, and said in a low voice: "There are too many positions left, and the imperial court will inevitably assign some of them. At present, there is no one who can afford to be a first-rank admiral in the disciple's hands. How are the disciples still messing around? They simply abolished the admiral and the commander-in-chief! Only two lieutenants will be left, and the rest will be reduced if they can be reduced. Why do you need so many officials? Otherwise, this errand will not be able to be done! "

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "It's almost as I thought, Li Zisheng also said that you are a ghost, and he is afraid that the Ministry of War will intervene."

Jia Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Sir, did you even see Li Han?"

Lin Ruhai laughed and said, "You think that Li Zisheng was promoted by eating dry rice? None of these people have been immersed in officialdom for most of their lives. Your skills are still far behind." Seeing Jia Qiang's appearance of being hit, Lin Ruhai was relieved again. Said: "Although I have guessed a little, but I can't be sure. Because they can't be sure whether such a bold and obviously unsuitable way to survive in the officialdom is really such a thought."

Jia Qiang twitched the corner of her mouth, and said, "It's no wonder that these people made Jingchu's old ministers want to die, and after all kinds of tossing, the other party couldn't get angry. But sir, those few people who are constantly promoting their old departments Officials, there are a lot of upstarts in Beijing, don’t they look too ugly?”

Lin Ruhai scolded with a smile: "What's this called? Even you know to use people you trust to run errands, don't we even know this?"

Jia Qiang felt emotional, it seems that there are various hills in the officialdom, it is a tradition for thousands of years...
