Qi Zhen handed over the military power and became Minister of the Ministry of War.

In addition to him, several officials in the court also changed positions.

Jiang Wanchen was promoted, but unlike before, everyone congratulated him, this time he was promoted, and there was no one to congratulate him.

Furthermore, although Lu Yi did not speak, the officials headed by Lu Yi targeted Jiang Wanchen everywhere, letting other officials understand a truth, that is, the wind direction of the court has changed.

Because Jiang Wanchen pulled Mo Qingyan off his horse, now he has lost Lord Lu's trust, and he will be the next one to get off his horse.

But fortunately, the emperor seems to be trying to protect Jiang Wanchen this time.No matter how Lu Yi's party tried to trick Jiang Wanchen, the emperor did not abandon him.This made the courtiers guess that the emperor and King Lu were divorced.

While everyone was guessing like this, the emperor left Prince Lu alone and gave him various rewards, as if to appease him.

"Qi Shangshu." An old official chased Qi Zhen out, "What do you mean by the emperor?"

Qi Zhen said with a smile: "Master Yang, don't think so much, we will do whatever the emperor arranges for us, and the rest has nothing to do with us, so of course there is no need to think too much."

"Royal Lu's power is all over the court. If you really lose your heart with the emperor, we servants..."

"My lord Yang, we are the emperor's courtiers, we just need to listen to the emperor. King Lu and the emperor have a deep relationship, and what you imagined will definitely not happen. You are just old and like to think wildly."

"Qi Shangshu," Lord Yang looked around and said in a low voice, "you should still be in charge of the military. If there is any accident, if you have military power in your hand, wouldn't it be better to control the situation! The Minister of the Ministry of War said it nicely, then The position is not as good as that of a general. To put it bluntly, he is a miscellaneous person."

"Master Yang, you have to understand me." Qi Zhen shook his head and sighed softly, "I'm not young anymore, I'm 49 years old, I've been fighting in the South and North, and I've been hurt all over my body. Now it's a prosperous age, and I can't be a Idlers?"

"Qi Shangshu has worked hard."

"Lord Yang, don't need to be so nervous. Even if King Lu is angry, it's aimed at Lord Jiang, and he won't be divorced from the emperor because of such a trivial matter." Qi Zhen said, "Besides, didn't the emperor give it to Lu? The king has so many rewards, the steps have already been paved for him, he took advantage of the situation, and the monarch and his subjects are still united, and this matter will pass."

There are people in the court who are proud, but of course there are also people who are frustrated.

The few officials who made friends with Mo Qingyan at the beginning were either demoted or transferred to other positions. In short, it looked like Jiang Wan settled accounts after the morning and autumn and implicated others.

Recently, more and more officials have visited Lu Wangfu.Among these officials, some Lu Yi will be promoted, and some will be resigned, and not all of them are appreciated by him.It can be seen that Lu Yi is also very picky about employing people.

Several horses galloped by.

The people on the street looked at the familiar clothes of those people and said, "It's from Dali Temple."

"Recently, it's either Dali Temple or Xingbu, and then the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Are there more and more cases?"

"If you don't say it, I haven't noticed it yet. Listen to what you said, think about it carefully, there are indeed more and more murders recently."

"Look, it's from the Metropolitan Procuratorate." Someone pointed to another horse team and said.

"This is the guard next to Mr. Xiao Lu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His surname seems to be Yang, and he is Mr. Xiao Lu's right-hand man. Look at him with a serious expression. Could it be that he also has a case?"

Yang Zongsheng passed by with the cavalry.

There are more and more things going on in the court, and the common people see it seriously, one by one quietly discussing whether today's case is a murder case or something else.At this moment, a few other people caught their attention, and their topic immediately changed from court affairs to street gossip.

"Isn't that Qian Matchmaker?"

"That's right, she is an official matchmaker. Could it be that a young lady from an official family wants to get married?"

"That's Madam Qi, right?"

"Which Mrs. Qi?"

"Lord Qi Xiao hasn't gotten married yet. Now, who can be called Mrs. Qi, except General Qi Zhen's wife Chu, who else has the qualifications? Those wives in the Qi family are not so lucky."

"Mrs. Qi brought the money matchmaker into Xing's house." Someone said, "Could it be that the Qi family wants to marry a girl from the Xing family? The Qi family has a concubine son and a son-in-law. Although the son-in-law can also discuss marriage, but after all, his status is precious. It is impossible to pick a girl from the Xing family. If the Xing family was considered a good family a few years ago, it is now an empty shell with a strong outsider and no official position. Therefore, I analyze , the Qi family wants to marry a girl from the Xing family for the concubine. With the current status of the Qi family, it is more than enough for their concubine to marry the daughter of the Xing family."

"Then who do you think the Qi family wants to marry? At present, there is no Xing family married, and there are only two girls who have reached the age of Ji, one is Miss Xing Si and the other is Miss Xing Wu."

"It can't be Xing Wu, Miss Xing Wu is not from the Hua family..."

"Mr. Hua's marriage to Miss Tang's has already been settled. Miss Xing Wu is definitely out of luck."

"How about we make a bet? I'll bet on Xing Si."

"I bet on Xing Wu."

There is no difference between Miss Xing Si and Miss Xing Wu in the eyes of ordinary people, they are just two young and beautiful girls.If you want to say who you have a good impression on, you may have a special feeling for Xing Wu.After all, she has no father and no mother, and she has been wandering outside all these years, which makes people feel pity.Therefore, there are quite a few people among the common people who want Xing Wu to have a good ending.

Chu Ningzhu showed up at Xing's house with a matchmaker, and Mrs. Xing Er came to welcome her with her maid in person.

"Madam Qi, what a rare visitor!" Madam Xing said with a smile.

Chu Ningzhu responded with a smile: "I came here uninvited, I hope I didn't take the liberty."

"How come? Please come inside."

Mrs. Xing Er glanced at the matchmaker next to her, and guessed in her heart why Chu Ningzhu came.

Propose marriage?

To whom?

There are only two Jiji girls in the house, besides Xing Jiashi is her precious daughter Xing Jiawei.

Xing Jiashi just made an ugly face, it is impossible for the members of the Qi family to take a fancy to her.Even if the son of the Qi family is a bastard, it's not something they can climb high.If Xing Jiashi lost his reputation, it would be even more impossible to climb high.

Could it be that he proposed marriage to her Xiao Si?

Mrs. Xing Er motioned to her confidants and said, "Tell Miss Fourth to make her dress up well. If I send her over later, she must be in the best condition."

Matchmaker Qian said: "Today's visit, of course there are magpies. Second madam, Mrs. Qi is here to propose marriage to the young lady of your house today."

Mrs. Xing Er was very happy in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.

She said: "I don't know which girl in our family has the honor to be valued by Mrs. Qi?"
