Chapter 101 Sure enough, I’m thinking about it
When Lu Jia went to Cheng's house, Shen Qingzhou went back to Taiwei's mansion.
Song En handed over the official documents from the Ministry of Revenue, the news sent back by Guo Yi, and the recent letters sent by Mr. Chong one by one.
"The people escorting Zhou Sheng are already on the way. If nothing happens on the way, they will definitely be able to reach the capital in a month.
"Dali Temple has also made arrangements in advance. After he is imprisoned, we will try to have our people guard him day and night.
"In addition, my subordinates have also investigated the matter of the annual report in the East Palace being withheld by the Ministry of Household Affairs, more than once."
"Have you never reported it to the emperor?"
Shen Qingzhou frowned as he flipped through the official documents.
"Yan Song has the final say in the cabinet. Even if it is handed over, it is blocked by the cabinet. His Highness the Crown Prince can only endure it for now. He has to spend 10% or 20% of the annual regulations he gets every year to go to the Yan family and his son. Backdoor.”
Shen Qingzhou put down the official document: "Yan Song and his son are trusted by the emperor, so they can cover the sky with one hand.
"Li Quan, the eunuch in charge of the Li Supervisor, is the emperor's personal attendant when he is in the dormitory. This person is also the emperor's person. You can find a way to get in touch with him.
"It's useless to just rely on frontal attacks. When necessary, we must attack from the side."
The lessons from the previous life are still vivid in my mind. At that time, I thought that as long as I collected enough evidence, I would be able to defeat the Yan family with a mountain of impeachment leaks.
In the end, the blow was successful and the vital part was hit. In the end, Yan Song fought back with his own death, and the emperor pardoned the Yan family with just one word.
Therefore, being too particular about doing things will actually become a constraint.
Song Endao said: "But the Chief of Ceremonies has frequent contacts with the cabinet. I am afraid that Li Quan and the Yan family are in the same league and have formed an alliance long ago."
Shen Qingzhou glanced at him: "Bingbi eunuch Gao Hong has ambitions for the position of palm eunuch. If he wants to replace Li Quan, he must get the support of the Yan family.
"On the other hand, the Yan family can only choose one side between Gao Hong and Li Quan. Yes or no, if you check it, you will naturally find traces."
This was obvious in the previous life. Li Quan was punished and imprisoned by the emperor within two years. Then Gao Hong came to power, and in order to prevent Li Quan from regaining his favor, he turned around and had Li Quan killed in prison.
Of course, the power of the Chief of Ceremonies is no less than that of the cabinet, and Gao Hong may not be willing to be the Yan family's lackey.
But since Gao Hong has this ambition, he will always have a chance.
Song En realized it for a moment, then nodded: "I understand."
……
It was already noon when Lu Jia returned to Yanzi Alley.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Shen Qingzhou reading under the camphor tree.
It was already quite cool in the capital city in September. He made a pot of tea next to him. The afternoon sun shone down and penetrated the dense fragrance of the tea, making it look warm and relaxing.
Lu Jia Expressway: "I'm back!"
Shen Qingzhou's eyes followed her until she arrived: "Done?"
At the same time, he made a cup of tea and handed it over.
Lu Jia took it in his hand and talked about Long Qumai:
"...My uncle is very resistant to me. I don't know why my father offended him back then? However, it is strange that he still believes that my father will not do anything so bad as to block his future."
If you want to successfully convince the Cheng family, you naturally have to give them some time. But Lu Jia knew that the inside story she had dropped was enough to attract the attention of the Cheng family.
As long as Cheng Wenhui is not a weakling who swallows his anger, there will definitely be a follow-up to what happened today.
It's just that Cheng Wenhui's attitude towards him is also intriguing. Ordinarily, she has to say a few words to show respect to her uncle. Neither did he.
Shen Qingzhou put down the book he was reading: "If it happened before and after your mother's death, does it have anything to do with your mother's death?"
Lu Jia raised her head when she heard this, but after thinking for a moment she shook her head: "I don't know."
Lu Jia had no memory of the past events in her childhood, and naturally she never pursued the grudge between the Cheng family and Lu Jie.
However, she remembered that when Cheng Wenhui cursed Lu Jie in the previous life, she only called him despicable, shameless and immoral, without mentioning her mother. This shows that the dispute between them will probably be another matter.
She drank a cup of tea, put the teacup back, and stood up: "I'll go back to the room first."
Shen Qingzhou watched her put down the cups neatly and neatly. She was not at all the tea-drinking style of Tanzhou people, and he was fascinated by her back.
When He Qu walked in, he saw him looking at the empty front and couldn't help but said: "Master?"
Shen Qingzhou looked away: "What's the matter?"
He Qu hurriedly said: "Master, Guo Lu is back. Moreover, the people Mr. Song sent south to deliver a message to Mr. Guo happened to intercept the people Guo Lu sent to Shawan on the way..."
……
Before Qinghe and Lu Jia stepped into the Cheng family gate, they didn't know that Lu Jia had another life experience. What she said to the Cheng family really made her heart churn for a long time.
But she was a female envoy who had received strict training in Prince Ji's Mansion. Even if she was not calm in her heart, she never said a word outside.
Holding the palms of her hands all the way into the house, it wasn't until Lu Jia entered the room and sat down that she called Mingxiao forward and started her salute again: "My slave is blind and has no eyesight, so I didn't realize that the girl is a noble girl! My dear, I'm sorry. Sin.”
Although Prince Ji's palace is noble and belongs to the clan, so many generations have passed since the founding of this dynasty, and there are so many descendants of the clan that they are no longer rare. Moreover, because Taizu ordered the clan princes not to hold real power, the court is dominated by civil servants. How high is the status in the palace?
Every year, I don’t know how much tribute is sent to the capital for that year.
Apart from anything else, just this time Prince Yi hurriedly selected a few of them to be released. Didn't they know the reason behind it?
Of course, this mysterious steward Qin couldn't afford to offend him.
It was precisely because Qing He knew that this was an important person that the palace could not afford to offend that he followed this girl Xie who was a businessman after leaving the palace and was appointed by Prince Yi to do his best.
Miss Xie was considerate of the servant, and even brought Changfu out with her when leaving, so that mother and son did not have to be separated. This deeply moved Qinghe.
It is a great blessing for a person who sells himself into slavery to meet a master who cares about his servants.
She never expected that this girl's biological father would actually be a popular figure in the imperial court who was increasingly favored by the emperor!
This is not their misfortune, it is clearly their honor!
Qinghe kowtowed firmly.
Lu Jia just sat down and stood up——
My original intention was to stop them, but I gave it up after thinking about it.
The purpose of bringing the two of them to Beijing was to make them become one with him first. Even so, if you already know who you are following, you will also know which path to take and how to behave in the future.
"Guo Lu is back!"
Just as they were about to pull them up to talk, Shen Qingzhou came: "Jiang's last move is out."
