In addition to Dr. Tao and the Orion couple, there is another person who deserves the reward the most, and that is Shen Wan.

If Shen Wan hadn't thought of the longevity lock, the following things wouldn't have happened.

It would expose Shen Wan's dream and cause her death, so Xie Jingyan did not tell the emperor. No one knew about Shen Wan's achievements except Xie Jingyan and a few maids.

Of course, Shen Wan didn't care. The rewards from the Emperor and the Queen Mother were only some gold, silver, jewels, silks and satins. She didn't lack these things. Moreover, as husband and wife were one, the Emperor's reward to Jing Yan was not a reward to her.

The food was brought in from the small kitchen, and Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan sat down. She suddenly remembered and asked, "Aren't you going hunting with my elder brother and the others today? Why did you enter the palace so early in the morning?"

Xie Jingyan served Shen Wan some food and said, "I have something urgent to do today, so the hunting will be postponed to tomorrow."

Something important?

Nothing happened yesterday, but something important happens when you wake up?

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan suspiciously and was about to ask when Dong'er came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Princess, the Emperor has appointed Prince Yanping as the Chief of the City Patrol Department, and the eldest son of the Duke of Tan and Prince Xuanping as the left and right deputy chiefs. Sir..."

Shen Wan, "...???"

Shen Wan looked at Xie Jingyan, "You came to the palace early in the morning just to recommend the three of them?"

"A rare opportunity not to be missed."

"..."

It seemed that Xie Jingyan was suddenly aware of Xie Jingyan's plan to seize the throne.

The position of the city patrol officer is not high, and the chief minister is only in the fifth rank, but his power is not small. He is responsible for the security and order of Kyoto, and controls part of the troops guarding the capital.

Although Prince Yanping was a relative of the royal family, as soon as he entered the court as an official, he started as a fifth-rank official. Not to say that he was unique, but this starting point was enough to envy the civil and military officials of the court. You must know that the number one scholar in high school can only be admitted to the Hanlin Academy. You have to slowly climb up from the sixth rank.

As Xie Jingyan said, the opportunity is rare. The eldest prince has always been in charge of the city inspection department. This time, the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple and was impeached by Xie Jingyin's people, leaving the position vacant. The eldest prince definitely did not want the city inspection department to fall to Xie Jingyin. In his hands, Crown Prince Yanping saved the Queen Mother's grandson again. He did not hesitate to offend Crown Prince Mao for a hunter. The City Patrol Department needed just such a person to serve.

Kyoto is full of dignitaries. A brick falling from the roof can shock three nobles. The city patrol department must be held by someone with a low status. It is very easy for things like the prince of Maoguo to put pressure on the city patrol department and abuse innocent people.

The time, place, and people were favorable, and Prince Yanping was appointed as the city patrol officer.

Normally, many ministers would definitely stand up and object. In fact, when Xie Jingyan recommended Prince Yanping as the crown prince, the left prime minister was in the Imperial Study Room, and he also rushed to the position of the City Patrol Secretary, so he objected on the spot.

Xie Jingyan wasn't angry either. He just asked the Prime Minister Zuo who he thought was suitable to take over the post of City Patrol Department. If the Prime Minister Zuo had a recommendation, he would tell him directly.

Xie Jingyan asked him, "If the eldest young master of the house wanders on the street after the night curfew, does the Prime Minister think that the person he recommends has the guts to arrest him and take him to the city inspection department?"

The left minister said, "A dog will not wander the streets after dark."

"The son of Zuo Xiang doesn't know how to do it, so what about the other children from aristocratic families?" Xie Jingyan asked.

The left prime minister was speechless.

Xie Jingyan said, "No matter who violates the curfew, Prince Yanping and the others will dare to arrest him."

With just this sentence, the left prime minister has nothing to say.

The emperor appointed Prince Yanping as Chief of the City Patrol Department, and Xie Jingyan also brought Tang Ze and Lu Cheng in.

The deputy ministers on the right and left of the City Patrol Department are of the sixth rank. They are not as ostentatious as Prince Yanping, but they are still very arrogant.

What's more important is that after gaining experience in the City Patrol Department, it is logical to work in the Sixth Department in the future. Most of the transfers are horizontal transfers or promotions. With a high starting point, the official career will be much smoother than that of ordinary people.

Xie Jingyan was recommending talents to the imperial court, and he was also cultivating his right-hand man.

Shen Wan originally hoped that Xie Jingyan would seize the title of heir. Only if he sat in that position would his father, brother and the Yun family be better off. When Xie Jingyan did this, Shen Wan supported it with both hands.

but!

The emperor was so angry that he had nothing to do without seizing the legitimate title.

Can't you have a better attitude toward the emperor?

Shen Wan was very tired.

Just after lunch, Prince Yanping and Lu Cheng came to Prince Ling's Mansion to look for Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan followed Xie Jingyan out and saw Prince Yanping and Lu Cheng walking over with complicated expressions on their faces, with gratitude but also a bit of anger.

Gratitude is easy to understand, but anger... Shen Wan can't understand it.

The two came over and Xie Jingyan said, "Brother, there is no need to say thank you."

Prince Yanping covered his chest, looked at Xie Jingyan and said, "How do you make us feel grateful and want to beat you at the same time?"

Xie Jingyan, "..."

Shen Wan looked at Prince Yanping and Lu Cheng, then at Xie Jingyan, "Besides recommending them, what else have you done?"

Xie Jingyan looked innocent, "I didn't do anything else."

Shen Wan looked at Prince Yanping and the others. Prince Yanping took the opportunity to complain to Shen Wan, "When he recommended us, he told the emperor that the three of us usually like to hang out on the street. We almost live on the street. We also like to fight against each other. , meddling in other people’s business, he is a perfect fit for the city patrol officer.”

Prince Yanping was still frightened when he thought that Eunuch Yuan had just gone to Prince Yanping's palace to announce the decree.

He was frightened by the events of the past few days. He was frightened when he received the decree. Fortunately, the decree was not a bad thing, it was even a good thing. It knocked him, his father, the queen, his mother and his concubine unconscious.

The father wondered why the emperor allowed him to join the City Patrol Department, and he was directly the Chief Secretary, so he asked one more question. Eunuch Yuan smiled and said, "There are a few vacancies in the City Patrol Department. King Ling felt that the prince and the eldest son of the Duke of Tan were There are also three princes of Xuanpinghou who have reached the age of serving the imperial court, but they wander around the streets all day long. They almost live on the streets. It is a waste of talents. The three princes are upright and kind-hearted. They like to fight against injustices and go to patrol the city for the imperial court. The effectiveness couldn’t be more appropriate.”

Hearing this, the maids and servants in the mansion shook their shoulders with laughter, and his father's face turned green. Fortunately, he didn't have a feather duster at hand, otherwise he would have been slapped on the spot.

If you say I recommend it, I recommend it. Can't you say it a little more nicely?

Prince Yanping asked Shen Wan to take charge of Xie Jingyan, but after hearing this, Shen Wan shook her shoulders and said, "It seems that what the prince said is right..."

Whoosh.

A sharp arrow shot over.

Straight to the heart.

Prince Yeonpyeong almost vomited blood on the spot.

The maids and the boy leading the way almost laughed.

It’s just too much!

"Farewell!"

Prince Yanping and Lu Cheng are leaving.

Xie Jingyan said, "Go to the study to talk."

The two of them stopped abruptly and followed him to the study, cursing.

As soon as he reached the door of the study, Tang Ze also came over there. He was late, and Lu Cheng said, "Why did you come just now?"

Tang Ze said, "Your father stopped me on the way here, which delayed me for a while."

Lu Cheng's eyes widened, "Why did my father stop you?"

Tang Ze looked at him, "What do you think, you have done some good things these days and you don't have any idea?"

Lu Cheng, "..."

There are several.

It should not be far from success.

Prince Yeonpyeong asked, "What did he do?"

Tang Zedao said, "During the days when he was recuperating, he copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures and secretly went to Huguo Temple twice, successfully making Marquis Xuanping suspect that he wanted to become a monk."
