Chapter 801: Stirring up a hornet's nest
Early in the morning, Li Tian woke up slowly.
Around me was the sound of my husband's breathing and the warmth from our bodies' contact.
The weather was cold, and the two of them hugged each other unconsciously.
"Wow!"
There was a howling sound from next door. Li Tian was just about to get up when the man next to her got out of bed.
Li Tian was stunned. Seeing Jiang Qingzhi quickly put on his clothes and rushed out, he said, "Open the door!"
The nanny was next door with the child. She opened the door upon hearing the noise. Jiang Qingzhi rushed in and said, "Close the door quickly and give me the child."
Li Tian was still in a daze... The man who was still sleeping just now was next door in the blink of an eye...
This speed!
"Da Lang, why are you crying? Dad, take a look... Hey! No, are you having a nightmare?"
This was a gentle man who seemed somewhat unfamiliar to Li Tian.
"...Speaking of Baldy Qiang...this is not good. It is said that Calabash Brothers fell from the vine and turned into a child. The child grows as soon as he sees the wind..."
After a while, Jiang Qingzhi rushed in with the child in his arms, kicked the door shut, and said, "Look at the child, how cute his smile is."
In the dim light, Li Tian looked at the laughing child, and at the man who raised his eyebrows and smiled smugly at her, and suddenly she felt full in her heart.
Chang looked at her intently for a long time and said: My son is a lucky man.
Yes! I am a happy woman!
Li Tian also laughed.
Just on this morning, the family of three was smiling happily at each other.
"Husband, have you found a name for Dalang?" Li Tian said, "My mother came to ask about this again yesterday, and my father said..."
"What did my father-in-law say?" Jiang Qingzhi leaned over, gently put his forehead against the child's forehead, and glared at him.
"If you don't pick a name, my dad said he has prepared a few..."
"Jiang Yi!" Jiang Qingzhi said with a tangled look on his face: "Just call me Jiang Yi."
Seeing him struggling, Li Tian couldn't help but chuckle, "What's your nickname?"
Most people call their children by their ranking, but Jiang Qingzhi doesn't like this way of calling them. He feels it sounds like calling people the eldest, the second, and the third in later generations.
"Dapeng."
"Dapeng?"
"Ok!"
Jiang Qingzhi stared at his son, "Dapeng, do you like this name?"
"Wow!"
Jiang Qingzhi frowned, then forced a smile and said, "This is tears of joy."
Li Tian picked up the child and tried to coax him, but it was useless for a long time. Jiang Qingzhi came to help. The couple coaxed the child for a long time. Jiang Qingzhi suddenly looked at Li Tian's chest.
"or……"
"Husband." Li Tian's face flushed slightly.
What do you want to do so early in the morning?
"Forget it, it's all broken. If you keep pushing for it, something bad will happen." Jiang Qingzhi said with some regret.
"Why is this child crying all the time?" Li Tian asked.
"No!"
The rookie couple looked at each other.
At this time, the nurse came in after washing up and said, "Young Master is hungry."
The wet nurse undressed skillfully, Li Tian coughed dryly, and then Jiang Qingzhi left.
He stood outside the door, listening to the child humming as he drank milk, and then went to the training ground.
On the training ground, Xu Wei was in a daze, and Sun Chonglou teased him, "Old Xu, you look similar to Duoduo. Hey! Have you found a woman?"
Xu Wei's mind wandered, and suddenly he blinked his eyes, "Hey! Stone."
"What?" Sun Chonglou said with a smile while eating the dried meat, "Did I guess right?"
"You say...if this woman likes you, what will she do?" Xu Wei's voice sounded like a dream.
Is this guy really pregnant?
Jiang Qingzhi was somewhat curious and asked Hu Zongxian, "Who is it?"
As a good friend, Hu Zongxian said solemnly, "It should be the female butcher. Do you think it's appropriate, Master?"
"A good match?" Jiang Qingzhi smiled. Hu Zongxian nodded, "My Lord's aide and think tank actually married a butcher woman. If this gets out, I'm afraid it will be..."
"Just like it." Jiang Qingzhi said calmly, "As for other people's opinions, forget about them."
Jiang Qingzhi began to practice with his sword. Today, his sword skills were particularly gentle. Dou Jialan watched for a long time and asked Fu Cheng, "Butler, why is it that Master Bo's sword skills are so hard to understand today? It seems to be unfathomable, and it also seems... I can't understand it."
Fu Cheng looked at her, "Jia Lan is not a child anymore, right?"
Dou Jialan was stunned. "Why is the housekeeper asking this?"
"Girls should get married when they grow up... Look, even Xu Wei, who is so useless, has a woman. You are so virtuous, have you ever thought about finding a man to warm your bed?" Fu Cheng said seriously.
Dou Jialan waved his hand, "I...I'm still early!"
"It's getting late. Others of your age already have children who are already able to help with cooking." Someone behind me said.
"Who?" Dou Jialan was feeling embarrassed when she was startled by the voice behind her. Turning around, she saw Xu Wei, who looked very happy.
"It's a beautiful spring day, why should we waste our best years?" Xu Wei's voice was unspeakably soft, and Fu Cheng and Dou Jialan both shuddered.
The autumn wind was howling, but the atmosphere in the Bo Mansion was exceptionally warm.
During breakfast, Xu Wei was eating with a silly smile. Sun Chonglou quietly put a piece of bone into his bowl. Xu Wei picked it up and put it into his mouth, biting it hard... "My teeth!"
……
"The wicked one with smoke!"
Cui Yuan was in a good mood today. He came to Zhilu early in the morning to change shifts. Seeing that the flowers and trees were growing well, he went in to admire them. As soon as he entered, he stepped into a pit and sprained his ankle. He limped and cursed.
"Who did it?" Cui Yuan looked at the pit. "This is illegal digging!" He looked at the guards with sharp eyes. "Is this how you guard the West Garden? This is dereliction of duty!"
The guard looked confused, "Prince Consort, it's... it's Long Wilbur!"
Cui Yuan, who was blowing his beard and glaring, was startled and shouted to his followers, "Why don't you come and help me?"
"Prince Consort Cui, let's talk about this matter! I think... Prince Consort Cui? Prince Consort Cui?" The guard knew that the prince consort was a narrow-minded person and was worried that he would be implicated. However, he did not expect that Old Cui left without waiting for his explanation.
Cui Yuan left without looking back.
The attendant supported him and said indignantly: "Prince consort, this matter cannot be let go."
Cui Yuan was unexpectedly silent, and his followers wondered if the prince consort had changed his personality.
When they arrived at the duty room, everyone saw Cui Yuan in such a state and asked him the reason with concern.
"I was thinking about something early in the morning and sprained my ankle without noticing." Cui Yuan explained.
After entering the duty room, he sat down and cursed: "That bastard Jiang Qingzhi is now rampant in the capital, relying on his great achievements. Today he beats this person, tomorrow he kicks that person. That day he severely injured three officials in Baiyun Tower, and Your Majesty pretended not to know... If I had argued with him, he would have taken advantage of the situation and done something ruthless..."
"He dares?" The attendant squatted and took off his shoes for him, feeling that the prince consort was a little timid.
"Why doesn't he dare?" Cui Yuan sighed, "He is using this to defile himself."
"But you are the prince consort!"
"Have you noticed that the ranks of the people he beat up are getting higher and higher? There is a limit to this self-condemnation. The higher the rank, the more effective it is. If he beat up a prince consort, the credit for this battle would be discounted by at least 30%."
The attendant looked up, stunned, "In other words, Jiang Qingzhi is eager for you to cause trouble for him?"
"That's right!" Cui Yuan slammed the table, "I'm afraid even Yan Shifan doesn't dare to offend him at this moment."
"The young cabinet minister is now in power and is in high spirits. Who is he afraid of?"
"But who did Jiang Qingzhi beat back then?" Cui Yuan sneered.
Jiang Qingzhi beat Yan Shifan at the beginning, but the matter was never resolved afterwards.
The attendant was startled and asked curiously, "Prince Consort, I have seen Jiang Qingzhi staring at the young elder several times, and his eyes were not right. It was as if... he saw a treasure."
……
There was still no movement from Guozuo. Jiang Qingzhi went in three times a day, looking at Uncle Ding as if he was paying his respects, but he returned empty-handed every time.
Jiang Qingzhi was in a good mood because he dug up a good flower tree early in the morning.
When he saw King Jing, he hurriedly took his medicine box and prepared to go to the Imperial Hospital, "Uncle."
"Where are we going?" Jiang Qingzhi asked.
"It is said that there is a terminal illness." King Jing was overjoyed.
"A doctor is like a loving parent!" Jiang Qingzhi was somewhat dissatisfied and felt that this fellow's happy attitude was wrong.
"He is a heinous criminal on death row."
"Then kill him!"
Jiang Qingzhi arrived at Yongshou Palace in a bad mood.
Zhang Tong came out, "My Lord, His Majesty is getting ready to sleep."
"It's still early." Jiang Qingzhi took out a piece of dried meat and handed it to Zhang Tong.
"It's late. Your Majesty was busy for a long time yesterday." Zhang Tong took the dried meat and whispered, "Don't say it's what we said... Chang Wei Bo, a letter from Prince Yu arrived yesterday. His Majesty said angrily that the rebellious son actually wanted to join the army. This must have been instigated by that idiot."
"Stupid kid?" Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but laugh when he heard that Prince Yu actually wanted to join the army. "Who are you talking about, stupid kid?"
"That's right..." Zhang Tong was chewing some dried meat when Huang Jin came out, "Your Majesty has summoned me."
Zhang Tong watched Jiang Qingzhi go in and said sympathetically, "The idiot your majesty is talking about is you."
The Taoist priest was having breakfast.
The breakfast was simple. Jiang Qingzhi saw that there were only two dishes, and there was little meat and a lot of tofu, so he said, "Your Majesty, you should eat tofu, but eating too much will easily cause kidney stones."
Some people in later generations said that sarira was caused by eating too much tofu. Jiang Qingzhi thought that was nonsense... There are many people who have been eating vegetables and tofu all their lives, so why don't they have sarira when they are put into the stove?
Stones, stones, who has ever seen so many colorful stones?
"You still have that theory?" The Taoist glanced at him and said, "You look like... just an idler. Do you look like an important official?"
"I am not an important official!" Jiang Qingzhi suddenly thought of the fact that he had no position and couldn't help laughing.
"Free and at ease?"
"Yes!" Jiang Qingzhi thought of the hard work of those officials who got up in the dark every day and hurried to the imperial city to attend court, and he felt that he was really happy.
"The corruption case at the Ministry of Revenue has not been investigated yet, you go!" said the Taoist priest indifferently.
The Ministry of Revenue investigated the case for more than half a year, and finally found out that several petty officials were involved. Jiang Qingzhi wanted to intervene, but he held back when he thought of Lu Song's strong support for this war.
After all, people should be kind.
The Ministry of Revenue is a hornet's nest. Once you stir up this hornet's nest, it will be difficult to get financial support for your future work.
Lu Song was in the Ministry of Revenue. According to Jiang Qingzhi's understanding of this Confucian general, he would not sit idly by and watch corrupt officials run rampant. If he intervened, it would affect the "friendship" of both parties.
"Your Majesty..." Jiang Qingzhi rolled his eyes, trying to find an excuse, "Ouch!"
"Stomachache?"
"Yes!"
"Old Fourth's medical skills have improved greatly recently, and he dares to treat me. How about letting him take a look at you?"
"No, I will go to the Ministry of Revenue right now."
