After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Sikong Beichen's carriage stopped directly in front of the military deployment office.

Sikong Yuehu was still dealing with affairs. It turned out that there were two or three officials from the Ministry of War who were closely related to Changping Zheng. They were still resisting in an attempt to keep some of the illegal activities hidden, but it was not confirmed that they were only reported by the soldiers. This group of people were extremely opposed to the procuratorial system, believing that this system allowed the Han people to offend the gentry and fundamentally undermined the corrupt official system of Henan Province. At this time, the Law of Nine-Rank Officials was still the fundamental program of Henan Province. Sikong Yuehu was unable to punish these officials for upholding the program, so he could only use the method of verifying the actual violations of the law to make the whistle-blowing system get rid of the criticism of the corrupt system and survive as an effective system for monitoring lawlessness, gradually becoming more and more similar to those controlled by the gentry. Officials are selected and appointed to compete with power.

His thinking was very clear. The situation in which the power of selecting and appointing officials was controlled by the gentry could not be changed for the time being. In order to monitor the illegal behavior of officials, at least we should first establish a whistle-blowing system in the Chinese military system so that lower-level soldiers, regardless of whether they were from military families, should The poor, or those soldiers from the Han tribe, must first have the right to impeach, and restrict the illegal crimes of noble clan leaders and officials, so that this reform will not be a "flash in the pan."

The "reporting system" in the inner court was established based on Yingshu's suggestion, and the "reporting system" in the Chinese army was implemented accordingly. If the conduct of the inner court and the central army can be reformed, the reporting system can be truly established and provide a great opportunity for the majority of Han people, The people accepted and followed it, gradually disintegrating the still unshakable status of the Nine-Rank Human Law. One day, the elected officials will not be based on family background. When the status quo of no poor family in the top class no longer exists, then the imperial power can be restored. The current situation of great unification and clans can no longer do their own thing.

Sikong Yuehu really didn’t have the time to chat with Sikong Beichen, but Sikong Beichen insisted on dragging him to Ziwei Mansion for dinner, and Sikong Yuehu really didn’t have dinner. It was already close to the curfew, and he was a prince. He came out of Taicheng, but if he didn't let his staff go home, most of them would have to "stay on duty" at the government office again, so Sikong Yuehu was dragged to Ziwei Mansion for dinner. It turned out that the prince did not just invite him. Siblings.

As soon as Sikong Yuehu sat down, he saw Nanci also pushing the door open and entering.

Ziwei Mansion is located due north of Vinh Phuc Province. From the location point of view, it is not suitable to be called the "East Palace". Xinsu Mansion is to the east and Guisu Mansion is to the south. Although these three mansions are all in Vinh Phuc Province, they are not the same. They are not right next to each other, and they have not "visited each other" frequently in the past few years. Nanci, in particular, is not as close to his brothers as he is to the children of the Wang family in Linyi. Although the prince and Xinyuehu seem to be close, they are not close to each other. Excluding palace banquets, the number of times we sit together to drink and talk is also very rare.

There are only seven mansions in Yongfu Province. In addition to the young seventh prince, even the sixth prince's Weisu Mansion is closely watched by all eyes and ears, not to mention the prince's Ziwei Mansion. Therefore, even if the prince took the initiative to invite Nanci in the past, Nanci would always refuse politely to avoid being involved in the dispute over the throne. But in the current situation - although He Ao did not win the post of Grand Central and Chief as he wished, because He Zhi quelled the chaos. If there is meritorious service, the Jiangdong He family will of course receive a huge reward and a great increase in prestige; Zheng Bei's painstakingly planned impeachment action was originally intended to use Jiangdong He's power to win the position of Grand Central and Chief, but it created a problem for He Ao. , not only was the bamboo basket in vain, Jiaomujiao's biological mother, Concubine Zheng, failed to frame Mrs. Xie, but she became the laughing stock of the inner court. In this confrontation, Jiaomujiao's camp was devastated; although Xie Jin was joined by He Ao and Zheng Bei He was caught off guard and handed over the power of the Zhongzheng, but the Duke of Yanling he recommended took over the affairs of the Zhongzheng. His daughter, Mrs. Concubine Qiao has been recognized as Mrs. Xie's wing, and the status of Ghost Golden Sheep is very different from the past.

Under such circumstances, the prince, Xinyuehu, and Guijinyang's "secret business" in Ziwei Mansion will inevitably arouse the suspicion and vigilance of Bi Yuewu and Jiaomujiao.

He, Xinyuehu, is a recognized princeling, and there is no obstacle. Gui Jinyang's abnormal behavior is really not simple.

Sikong Yuehu drank wine and listened to the pleasantries between the prince and Nanci. He didn't talk to each other. His original appearance seemed a bit cold, and now he looked even more indifferent, especially when the prince and Nanci both raised their hands. While holding the wine glass, his long fingers only held the sapphire cup, as if the sapphire cup was suddenly sealed on the wine table by the frost of his long fingers.

The prince smiled softly and drank the wine: "I know that the fourth brother has been busy with business recently and has no time to spare, but I invited you and the fifth brother here today not just for drinking and having fun... I have heard some rumors recently, which makes me extremely uneasy. I first had a heart-to-heart talk with the fifth brother and explained some misunderstandings in the past, so I invited the fourth brother here today. No matter what the fourth brother thinks, as long as we tell the truth, at least the three of us brothers will not be suspicious of each other."

"Rumor?" Sikong Yuehu Momo raised his eyelids: "Brother, tell me what you have to say."

"There are rumors about the Queen's Empress. The fifth brother has confessed that he is indeed in love with the Queen's Empress and begged his father to marry him. Although the father has not agreed yet, he has changed the choice of female officials to female officials. This shows that the father has intended to fulfill his wish. But recently, I I also heard that the fourth brother seems to have frequent contact with the Queen’s Empress..."

"In this current situation, the eldest brother and the fifth brother are still only focusing on their children's personal affairs?" Sikong Yuehu bent his fingers and flicked the sapphire cup. A thin and crisp sound was like a sneer on his behalf: "The second brother will not say anything anymore. It is the time when the spring breeze is triumphant; the third brother has been admonished by his father and has been busy visiting the market in recent days. He is obviously still thinking about how to improve the small election system. He is not willing to be a member of the royal family. I was defeated by my husband in the boudoir in terms of knowledge; the eldest brother and the fifth brother are still not doing their jobs properly after being admonished..."

He was sitting on the left side of the prince, face to face with Nanci. At this time, he glanced at Nanci and then bowed to the prince: "I have nothing to say, I just don't want to be blamed by my father, so I have to focus on It is my duty. The prince brother has good intentions today, so I will reciprocate my kindness. Let me remind the prince brother and the fifth brother that Wang Wuniang is now a middle-aged woman in history, but she is a boudoir's concubine after all. She still remembers her duties. First, she is the king. It is your responsibility to share your worries, not to worry about the personal affairs of your children. I worry about marriage all day long. The prince brother is getting married soon, and the five brothers are still far away from being crowned. They each have their own duties. Don't abandon the basics and ignore the important ones. I will take my leave first. Prince prince brother, don't blame Yue. Discourteous."

Get up and leave.

Sikong Beichen was stunned for a moment, then confessed to Nanci, and hurriedly chased him out of the flower hall. He stepped down the three steps and shouted several times. After all, he wanted to kill Sikong Yuehu before he walked out of the small garden. Got caught.

"It's not common for fourth brother to be so angry. It's my fault. It's okay for fourth brother to take offense at me. Don't misunderstand fifth brother."

"I didn't misunderstand anyone." Sikong Yuehu frowned.

"The rumor that the fourth brother is interested in the Queen's concubine actually originated from Baoqin. She was the one who passed those words to Pei Wang. I placed some ears and eyes around Pei Yu, so I heard about it. At first, I thought Those who advise the fifth brother to give up first should not create quarrels with brothers and sisters because of their children's personal affairs. How do you know that the fifth brother..."

"What the fifth brother thinks has nothing to do with me. Even for Baoqin, it was because of the prince's instructions that I recalled her to Caishu Village. It was also the prince who warned me about her bad intentions. Now, the prince believes that she is stirring up trouble. It's very unfair." It's really ridiculous for me to make a promise to my fifth brother."

"Hey! My fourth brother also knows that Duke Linyi has been kind to me, so I will naturally look after the Queen Empress in the palace. I don't want even this to cause a lot of gossip, causing the Queen Empress to avoid me, and even Even the Queen Mother misunderstood and did many things that were detrimental to the Empress Dowager. I am really ashamed and hope that the Empress Wang will have a good marriage.
