www.novelmao.com, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Queen Wude!
Ye Xiu Ming resigned and returned home, but the emperor tried to persuade him to stay but failed. This is the most exciting news in Beijing these days.
As soon as this news came out, the threshold of Ye Mansion was almost broken. Many old friends and relatives came to visit and say goodbye with wine. To say that Ye Xiu’s famous officials are all gone, it’s impossible to keep up with him right now, so the friendship at this time is the real friendship.
It can be seen that this old guy’s popularity is really good, and his reputation is not driven by power.
On the day Ye Xiu Ming left Beijing, the emperor personally led hundreds of civil and military officials to see him off with great fanfare. Many people in the capital heard the news and spontaneously came to see him off. Many of the people who came to see her off were full of ink, so they responded with poems. These poems were collected and printed for sale. Paper was so expensive in Luoyang that even Ye Zhenzhen, who was uncomfortable with poetry, collected a copy.
As soon as Ye Xiu Ming left, many people realized that the trend in the capital’s officialdom was about to change.
One of the evidences is that Fang Xiuqing was transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and finally took the most important position among the six departments. As a result, Ye Kangle, who originally served in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was suppressed. At the same time, the post of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was vacant. Many people speculated that the emperor might let Ye Kangle serve as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to compensate Ye Dang. As the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ye Kangle could join the cabinet, which could also restrain Fang. Party, the best of both worlds.
However, what everyone expected was that the emperor not only did not let Ye Kangle enter the cabinet, but instead let him go!
I was working well as a Beijing official, but suddenly I had to go to another place to take up a post. It was such a sensitive time and such a sensitive identity that people couldn’t help but think too much.
Is the Emperor going to suppress the Ye Party to the end?
Many people were sweating.
Ji Wu Jiu doesn’t care what others think, he is afraid that Ye Zhen Zhen will think too much: “Zhen Zhen, you believe me.”
Ye Zhenzhen was eating yogurt carelessly when she heard this and replied, “I know what you are going to do.”
“Oh?” Ji Wu Jiu was a little curious, “Tell me and listen.”
“If you want to implement Fang Xiuqing’s new policy, no one can get in the way. Don’t worry, you can do it. Our Ye family is originally a relative, so we can’t have too much glory. It’s time to rein in our hands and feet. My father is It’s not like I won’t come back if I go out. Besides, when it comes to joining the cabinet, I think my second brother is more suitable than my father.”
Ji Wu Jiu felt so comfortable that it felt like he was going to his bones. She knew what he was going to do. She understands him.
So he smiled and asked, “Why do you see it?”
Ye Zhenzhen finished eating the yogurt and reluctantly scraped the bottom of the bowl with a silver spoon. She lowered her head and replied, “You are the emperor, so you naturally know how to use people best. Why do I need to talk so much?” After a few seconds, she saw that there wasn’t much. She turned around and shouted outside, “Su Feng, give me another bowl.”
“Stop eating,” Ji Wu Jiu stopped her, “If you eat too much, you’ll get upset again.”
Su Feng outside knew that the emperor would stop the queen, so he only agreed and winked at the palace maid next to him.
Ji Wu Jiu took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of Ye Zhen Zhen’s mouth. After wiping, he smiled and said, “Tell me, why is Brother Ye more suitable for joining the cabinet?”
“My father is a peacemaker, with a soft face and a soft heart, and has no independent opinions. My second brother’s face follows my father’s, and he always smiles at everyone, but his belly and wrists follow my grandfather’s. You don’t know, When he was a child, his intestines were several times larger than the average person’s. My brother was the eldest son, but he always had to give way to his younger brother. When something happened, the second brother also had the most ideas. Don’t think he was just a water controller this time. , to be able to repair the reservoir early under such conditions, it is definitely not possible to control water alone.”
Ji Wu Jiu nodded and smiled, “That makes sense. In fact, you are more talented and resourceful than them.”
Ye Zhenzhen accepted the compliment shamelessly, “That’s right. It’s a pity that I’m a woman. I must give birth to a boy in my next life and do a great career.”
“That’s impossible,” he grabbed her hand, “If you become a man, who can I marry?”
Ye Zhen Zhen smiled and said, “Then you become a woman and marry me,” she said, reaching out to lift Ji Wu Jiu’s chin, “Beauty.”
Ji Wu Jiu didn’t answer, but Brother Myna couldn’t stand it anymore, “Oh! It’s so shameful!” I don’t know where it learned the mewling voice from, but when I closed my eyes and listened, it was really Like a good young daughter-in-law who was teased by a bully.
Ye Zhenzhen and Ji Wu Jiu felt a chill at the same time.
“However,” Ye Zhenzhen deflected the question, “I think Fang Xiuqing’s move is a bit big this time. I don’t know what the effect of the New Deal will be, but he is going to be at the forefront.”
Throughout the ages, the rule of law has resulted in more defeats than successes, but there are still some successful cases. In general, if the law is reasonable, then it needs a stable power to back it up, so the probability of success will be very high. The combination of Ji Wu Jiu and Fang Xiuqing, a wise minister and a powerful leader, is a once-in-a-thousand-year combination, and the corrupt officials of this dynasty really need to be rectified.
In short, this new policy is still very exciting. It’s not easy for everyone.
Ji Wu Jiu knew what Ye Zhen Zhen meant, he nodded and said, “Anyway, I won’t treat him badly.”
Ye Zhenzhen said, “Let’s make it clear in advance. How you treat Fang Xiuqing is a matter between you and your ministers. If Fang Zhaoyi dares to cause trouble again, I will be merciless.”
He stroked her forehead, “That’s natural.”
At this time, Sufeng walked in to change the fragrance. She put a piece of ointment into the incense burner without lighting it, closed the lid and quietly left.
Ye Zhenzhen sniffed, “Do you still remember this fragrance? We bought it in Liaodong, it’s called ‘Yousi’.”
Ji Wu Jiu also sniffed along with her, “Why don’t you remember it? It’s just… I still feel that this aroma is somewhat familiar.”
Ye Zhenzhen said, “I have found the origin of this name. There is a Yuefu poem in the Han Dynasty called “Something to Think About”. ‘Something to think about is in the south of the sea. What’s the use, what’s the use…”
Ji Wu Jiu saw that she was having a hard time winking, so he helped her carry it out, “‘Why do you need to ask Yi Jun, I have a pair of pearls and a hairpin, and use a jade hairpin to dazzle it. I heard that you have other intentions, and you will pull all kinds of things. It. Destroy it and burn it, and let the wind blow up its ashes. From now on, don’t miss me again, I miss you so much! The **** crows and the dog barks, brothers and sisters-in-law should know it. The concubine calls! The autumn wind is solemn and the morning breeze blows, and the east knows it in a moment. .’…Is this it?”
“Yes, that’s it,” she nodded, “it’s about a girl who scolded a heartless man. This incense is also called Yousi. Could it be that it was made by an abandoned girl who wanted to use this fragrance? Call her a bad guy by name?”
Ji Wu Jiu frowned and said, “This incense is a bad omen, so don’t use it.”
“Why, it smells so good.”
“Only for those who have betrayed their hearts. I am not a betrayer, I am a lover.” He smiled and lowered his head to kiss her.
Ye Zhenzhen turned away and said shyly, “Zhen Ben is still here.”
Ji Wu Jiu obviously didn’t follow her train of thought, “Really… stupid?”
“That’s it,” she pointed to Brother Myna on the shelf, “The name I gave it followed my last name.”
What does it mean to have her last name? She has the nerve to say this. Ji Wu Jiu glanced at the little Myna sympathetically, “Why do you choose such a name?”
“I also wanted to call it Zhen Hei. I gave these two names to Su Yue and the others, and they both chose Zhen Ben.”
“What a group of discerning people.” Ji Wu Jiu praised, it was a pity that he followed such a master…
The two of them exchanged words and then went to Cining Palace to visit the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has been quiet a lot since she was attacked by Ji Wu Jiu last time. She only eats fast and chants Buddha’s name quietly every day, really like a grandmother of Buddha. The relationship between mother and son has also eased a lot. Ji Wu Jiu went to greet her every day, but she never mentioned anything about the Xu family. She and Ji Wu Jiu had some parent-child interaction every day. The mother was kind and the son was filial, and they were happy.
Ye Zhenzhen firmly believed that this was an illusion, but she also hoped that the Queen Mother would really become honest and never cause trouble again.
It was a hot day today, and the two of them were sweating all the way from Kunning Palace to Cining Palace. Ji Wu Jiu regretted pulling Ye Zhen Zhen out under the sun. It would be bad if he suffered from heatstroke. The Queen Mother was sitting on the kang twisting Buddhist beads. She was very happy to see them and ordered people to bring them sour plum soup and some fresh fruits.
Ye Zhenzhen sat down and watched the mother-son interaction between the Queen Mother and Ji Wu Jiu, as if watching the excitement. The Queen Mother occasionally took the initiative to talk to her, and she treated her with dignity. She had a clever mouth and spoke thoughtful words in a decent manner.
Ji Wu Jiu felt more and more that his wife was capable. Except for the embroidery needle, he is proficient in all of the eighteen weapons.
Ye Zhenzhen has a strong firepower. It was already hot in Cining Palace, and she was still sweating after sitting down. Sufeng took out a handkerchief and handed it to her, and she took it and wiped her forehead.
Seeing this, the Queen Mother was dissatisfied and said, “You are such a well-behaved slave, how can you let your master use the veil you have used?”
Su Feng replied hurriedly, “Back to the Queen Mother, this veil is not used by this slave. It is a new one that has been soaked in mint water and dried. It is used to wipe sweat. It can’t be more refreshing and refreshing. My slave I brought some with me to prevent my master from being afraid of the heat.”
After hearing this, the Queen Mother softened her expression and nodded, “I am indeed a little hot here, so I can’t help you.” After saying that, she looked at Su Feng again, “She is a caring and loyal slave.” She turned to look at Ji No blame, “As for the Aijia, although there are many slaves, it is a bit difficult to find one who not only knows how to serve the master, but can also serve the master wholeheartedly. And if you want to find someone who can catch the eye of the master, then It’s even harder. Don’t you think so?”
Ji Wu Jiu nodded and said, “What the Queen Mother said makes sense.”
When Ye Zhenzhen heard these words, she became vigilant. The Queen Mother made such a speech for no reason. Is she really just looking for something to say?
The Queen Mother sighed and said, “I know that you have few people around you these years, and you still miss the capable old man. I feel sorry for my son, so I will simply find you a good slave.” I will definitely like her when I see her,” he said, raising his head to the palace maid beside him and saying, “Let her come over.”
Ye Zhenzhen was even more puzzled. The Queen Mother was so blatantly trying to hide people from the Emperor’s side? Aren’t you afraid that he will turn around and exploit her? What on earth is this old woman thinking?
Just as I was thinking about it, a person walked into the next room. She has a long figure, wears a lotus-colored palace dress, lowers her head, and walks gracefully. With just a few steps, she walks out with a graceful and graceful charm. It’s not like Qiao Qiao is a demon, but she has a natural and graceful charm.
Ye Zhenzhen was a little curious. When she came closer, she couldn’t help but said, “Raise your head.”
She raised her head as instructed, her eyes drooping and not daring to look up. Ye Zhenzhen glanced at her face a few times. She was fair and soft. Although she was not very good-looking, she was still a beauty. She didn’t quite understand what the Queen Mother meant. If she wanted to put someone on Ji Wu Jiu’s bed, she had to choose someone who could catch his eyes. If she wanted to be his slave, Ji Wu Jiu wouldn’t be able to do it with Ji Wu Jiu’s precautions against her.
Ye Zhen Zhen looked at Ji Wu Jiu in confusion, but found that he was looking at the palace maid in front of him with an expression that was struck by lightning. He was stunned for a long time, and finally murmured, “Xiangru?”
The voice seemed to be floating down from nine heavens away.
