Chapter 883 Ji Zijuan is forced into a desperate situation
Zhang Chi likes to see this stunning beauty in front of him smile and laugh, feel happy and angry, move her hands and feet, stroke her hair and brush her face, every movement makes his heart flutter.
Such a dignified, wealthy and well-mannered woman, yet she still had an aura of coldness and pride, which made him even more confused.
Although I can’t say that I think about it day and night, I really feel a bit haunted by it.
Of course Zhang Chi knew that the woman in front of him was not easy to mess with. Although his father was not very interested in these women, he was still in the palace after all. Where could he not have his father's eyes?
It is also true that this Concubine Jia is not in the favor of her father, and the honor she represents is now somewhat different from her father.
After Wang Ziteng left the position of Jiedushi in Beijing, his status has declined. The Denglai Governor's Palace is just a newly built Governor's Palace. It is poor and useless. It is started from scratch, and it is still focused on opening up and protecting the route to Liaodong. , obviously not enough weight.
I don’t know what the father’s plan was or what the concubine had in mind before she accepted Concubine Jia as his concubine.
"I care about the Emperor in my heart, not in the words and deeds on the surface. Some people do one thing on the surface and another behind the scenes, and they work against it, so you have to be careful..." Yuan Chun suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to behave. Calm, "The emperor's blessings are as high as the sky, and good people have their own destiny. This is also a credit to people like me who silently pray for the emperor in the palace. Could it be the credit to those who spend their days wandering around and having fun?" ?…”
Jia Yuanchun's sharp words not only did not make Zhang Chi angry, but also stimulated his interest. This kind of woman with a strong personality is what he wants. It would be boring to be as soft as a sheep and submissive.
"Haha, your Majesty is right. It's just that I don't dare to wander around and play all day long. A few days ago, I was ordered by my father to go to Denglai to inspect Denglai with Mr. Liu Yishui, the censor of the capital procuratorate. Military affairs related to the Governor’s Mansion,…”
Zhang Chi said slowly and authentically: "The imperial court allocated huge sums of money to urge the Denglai Governor-General's Palace to speed up the construction of the naval fleet. However, as seen by Gu and Liu, the management of the Denglai Governor-General's Palace is slack and chaotic. The construction of the naval fleet is progressing slowly. The dock has not yet been completed. The shipyard It’s just on paper, far from what Governor Wang reported to the court that everything went smoothly..."
Yuanchun was surprised. Is this guy threatening him with his uncle's affairs?
However, Yuanchun also knows that not just anyone can touch his uncle. Even the Metropolitan Procuratorate has opinions on this, but with the censor from the right capital suppressing the battle, he doesn't want it to be as easy as some stupid censors. Stir up trouble.
This King Shou wants to use this to threaten himself, which is a little too naive.
Of course, Yuanchun would not deliberately break up with the other party because of this. He would deal with it neither lightly nor seriously, and no matter how much he shouted threats, I would just pretend to be dumbfounded and not respond.
"Really? His Royal Highness, Shou Wang, has really worked hard. He has traveled thousands of miles. Shou Wang should have a good rest in the house for a while. Does he still have the mind to wander around?" Yuanchun did not pick up the other party at all. The words are different.
Zhang Chi was startled, this Concubine Jia really had some power in the city, and she actually acted like a seal with one move.
“Mother, Master Liu is very jealous of evil. There are some things...” Zhang Chi smiled sinisterly.
"His Royal Highness King Shou, what does the matter outside the palace have to do with this palace? The court has its own laws. If someone really breaks the law, he will naturally not be able to escape. In matters like this, it is not something that one person can say yes or no. It’s just bad, there is always a priority, balance and overall planning,..."
Yuanchun was extremely disdainful of this person in his heart, but he also knew that if this guy kept criticizing and slandering his uncle in court, there would definitely be some influence.
Originally, the censors and Wu Xun were not on the same page, especially the young censors who liked to be hot-blooded. They were even more focused on finding these "tigers" that they thought could be used to establish their power and fame. This quickly became a problem for these young censors. Shortcut to fame.
If this person were walking outside, it was difficult to say whether he would attract the attention of these young censors and turn them into a group to attack him. Therefore, Yuanchun did not dare to speak too harshly, lest he really angered the other party.
However, her words could easily be seen as false and true by the other party, and Zhang Chi felt even more proud.
"Your Majesty, the imperial court has its own regulations. The Military Department of Denglai Second Town has long decided to build a naval fleet as its main purpose, but it seems that this is not what Gu and Mr. Liu saw. Haha, otherwise Your Majesty, you can write to your uncle and ask him what he wants to do by building the Denglai Army on his own."
Yuan Chun's heart trembled, but he did not dare to show any weakness in his words, "If that's the case, then why does His Highness Prince Shou come to this palace to make noise? Why not let Mr. Liu directly report to the court and deal with it according to the law?"
Being pushed back by Yuanchun's tough words, Zhang Chi felt a little resentful.
If it was really that simple, Liu Yishen would have reported it to the court long ago.
However, the basic conditions of Denglai Second Town itself are not good, and local cooperation is not effective. The construction of the naval fleet is slow and the progress is delayed. It is not entirely Wang Ziteng's responsibility. The court's money allocation is slow, and the Ministry of War has internal doubts about the Denglai Army. There are also different opinions on the preparations for the establishment, and orders are changed day by day, which leads to this.
However, Zhang Chi also sensed that the concubine was still very concerned about her uncle's behavior, and she felt much more at ease.
He didn't believe that the Jia and Wang family had been in the capital city for so many years without any handles. When the time came, they could naturally use these handles to control each other.
Yuanchun felt a little relieved after finally sending this guy away.
But she also knew that this was only temporary. With King Shou's temperament, he would never let it go. This could be seen from the fact that the other party dared to threaten her with Prince Teng's military affairs in Denglai. This guy had already lost his bottom line. .
Seeing that his wife's face was changing, Bao Qin was also a little worried: "My wife, His Highness the Shou King comes to pester you every now and then. If other people in the palace know about it, I'm afraid it will cause unexpected disasters for my wife."
Yuanchun didn't know it. She couldn't think of a better way to deal with it for a while.
Such a matter should be reported to the emperor or Concubine Xu, who is in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace. However, if the emperor does not come to him at all and reports it himself, will the other party believe it?
As for the meeting with Concubine Xu, not to mention, one is a concubine in the palace who has never known each other and is even vaguely hostile, and the other is his own son. He is thinking about the outcome with his own hands. Otherwise, he will be betrayed by the other party. Come here and make false accusations to ruin your reputation.
Or maybe the concubine or even the emperor? That's even more inappropriate. Yuanchun doesn't want to leave any bad impression in the minds of these two people. King Shou only needs to bite back, and as a woman and the emperor's neglected concubine, the outside world may think that she wants to take revenge on the emperor. Then she No defense at all.
Manager Xia? Yuanchun also felt that it was inappropriate. The less people knew about this kind of thing, the better. Yuanchun was not sure whether Manager Xia was trustworthy, so she did not dare to take the risk easily.
"Baoqin, this matter must be kept secret. I can only take it one step at a time. I have no choice but to make a desperate decision." Yuanchun said harsh words, but even she felt how weak her words were.
"My dear, you can actually ask Xiao Feng Xiuzuan for advice. I think Xiao Feng Xiuzuan must have a way to deal with this kind of thing..." Baoqin suddenly suggested.
Yuanchun has actually thought about this problem in his heart, but Feng Ziying is no longer in the capital city, but has gone to Yongping Mansion hundreds of miles away. It would be difficult to return to the capital in ordinary times, and if such things are written in letters, they will not be kept confidential. It's hard to tell clearly.
The best way is to communicate face to face, but this method is not feasible now, so it is most appropriate to ask Baoqin to convey the situation for him and get back the countermeasures.
It's just not feasible for Baoqin to go hundreds of miles to Yongping Mansion. It won't be possible for the general to come back in half a day. If this palace man stays out overnight without the approval of the **** in charge of the Sixth Palace, it will lead to chaos. Beaten to death.
There is no one trustworthy in this matter in the Jia family, not even his own parents. Yuanchun did not dare to let them know, otherwise it would only increase troubles and would be of no benefit at all.
“Feng Ziying is no longer in the capital city. Yongping Mansion is too far away from us...”
“Mother, you can actually let a trustworthy person take the lead…”
“A trustworthy person? Who?” Yuanchun shook his head.
"What do you think, Mr. Bao?" Baoqin hesitated for a moment, "I think Mr. Bao is already different from previous years. Maybe..."
Yuanchun shook his head subconsciously, how could Baoyu be involved in such a thing? If it were really leaked, wouldn't it mean that Baoyu would be harmed for the rest of his life?
"Your Majesty, I think you can no longer look at Mr. Bao with the old eyes. Mr. Bao has changed a lot. You only need to go to the house yourself and reveal the matter. Please ask Mr. Bao to go to Yongping and talk to you in person. Once Feng Xiuzhuan talks about it, there will be a result."
Seeing that Yuanchun refused, Baoqin was a little anxious.
"Baoqin, although Baoyu is not young, his temper is still too simple and he can't hide things in his heart. Once it is leaked, I'm afraid it will harm the whole family." Yuanchun shook his head, "What do you think of Tan Yatou?"
"Third Miss?" Baoqin was startled, "You want Third Miss to go to Yongping Mansion? But for what reason does Third Miss go to Yongping Mansion?"
This is also a question. How can a lady from a wealthy family go to Yongping Mansion hundreds of miles away alone?
Yuan Chun pondered for a moment, "Then you go and tell Yuanyang..."
"Where is the ancestor...?" Baoqin said hesitantly.
Yuan Chun is also in a dilemma. She doesn't want her parents to know, but there is no trustworthy person in the house. To be honest, Yuan Chun feels more trustworthy because of her ancestor's temperament and thoughts.
"If our ancestors ask about it, just say that there is something urgent and ask Yuanyang to go there and the government will send a car..." Yuan Chunyi gritted his teeth, "If our ancestors really want to find out, just say that..."
