This is giving both money and women.
Li Jinglan couldn't help but look up and carefully observe the person in front of her.
The woman's nostrils kept shrinking, her head was slightly lowered, and her eyes drifted to the side.
It proved that she was not only anxious but also had a fear that came from nowhere.
Li Jinglan lowered her eyes and picked up the tea bowl: "What do you mean by giving these things?"
Seeing Li Jinglan picking up the tea bowl, the Minister of Rites' daughter-in-law wanted to stand up and leave immediately.
But she dared not.
She could only clench the handkerchief tightly, her voice trembling slightly.
"My father-in-law and my husband both admire the No. 1 Scholar very much, and hope that the two families can become friends. If the No. 1 Scholar has any mission in the future, I will not dare to disobey."
Li Jinglan vaguely remembered that this Minister of Rites was also the top scholar in a subject.
First, he shamelessly acted as a matchmaker for Prince Guangping, and then he servilely came to give him money and women.
Everyone knows that the Minister of Rites is Lord Zhao's man, what does he want?
Li Jinglan felt that there seemed to be something here that she couldn't figure out for the time being.
It was as if there was a line hidden in the darkness that she could neither see nor grasp.
But no matter what the Minister of Rites wanted, Li Jinglan would not help him as it would hurt Zhou Jin's feelings.
Zhou Jin is now Lu Bozhou's brother and the chief minister of the cabinet after Yin Zhihai.
Love is the embellishment and beauty of life when we are young.
But sooner or later Lu Bozhou will have countless concubines and will fall in love with one woman after another.
Love has a short shelf life.
When love is gone, only power can protect her.
She had no relatives to rely on, and if she had no allies in the court, no one would care if she died in the palace.
At most, she was given the posthumous title of "Ai" in history books.
She needs Zhou Jin to be her ally!
Not only did she need Zhou Jin to be her ally, she also needed people all over the world to not be able to tell that Zhou Jin was her ally.
Although Li Jinglan still had a smile on her face, her voice turned cold.
"I come from the countryside. I have never seen prosperity, let alone too much money. You are swaying this banknote here, which scares me."
"You'd better take the silver back, otherwise you'll scare me to death." Li Jinglan smiled.
There are a total of 10,000 taels of silver in this box.
Li Jinglan didn't even look at it, as if the ten thousand taels of silver were just ten pieces of waste paper.
The Minister of Rites' daughter-in-law was both embarrassed and annoyed.
She also thought that Li Jinglan might not know Mr. Wu You's identity. If she revealed Mr. Wu You's identity, she might be able to win Li Jinglan's favor.
Then he said, "Madam Li, you probably don't know... "
Seeing that she was about to reveal the identity of King Jin, Li Jinglan's face darkened and he put the teacup heavily on the table.
"I am a country woman and my words are too vulgar. Don't you understand? I haven't given birth to a boy or girl yet, and you are sending me a woman? Are you mocking me for not being able to have children?"
"I have never offended your family. Why do you want to humiliate me like this?"
As Li Jinglan spoke, her voice gradually became louder, and she looked extremely angry.
The daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites had a buzzing head, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.
"Someone, show the guests away!" Li Jinglan stood up. "I've heard that people serve tea to guests in the past. I've served the tea several times, but the guests haven't left yet."
"It can be seen that the idea of serving tea to see off guests is just to deceive a country woman like me."
The lethality of this sentence was even greater than those just now. The daughter-in-law of the Minister of Rites could no longer sit still and stood up with a red face.
Seeing that she was about to leave, Li Jinglan said again: "Take the banknote back."
The Minister of Rites' daughter-in-law turned around, took the box of banknotes, and walked away with her face covered.
That afternoon, Li Jinglan first went to the Grand Secretary's residence to denounce to Madam Yin the Minister of Rites for sending his daughter-in-law to humiliate her.
Then he rushed to Lu Shenyan's residence and denounced him.
After Li Jinglan left, Madam Yin turned around and asked the nanny in charge of the invitations: "Has the Minister of Rites sent any invitations recently?"
Mammy immediately replied, "Seven or eight times."
Madam Yin sneered disdainfully.
Can you change your situation by giving something as a gift?
That's too simple of a thought.
If you really want to join Yin Zhihai's faction, you have to stick to your original master in the court.
Who would want you if you don't bite your original master until he's covered in blood?
When Zhou Jin returned home, Zhou Tuanjin told her what happened today.
Zhou Tuanjin didn’t know what was happening in the court. All he could see was what was happening in front of him.
She shed tears and said, "Sister-in-law has no grudge against her, and she came here to give me some money, so there is no reason to kick her out."
"It must be because of our matter that my sister-in-law doesn't want to associate with her family!" Zhou Tuanjin sniffed.
Zhou Jin didn't expect something like this to happen today and was silent for a long time.
When there was no imperial examination, I hoped to pass the imperial examination.
Only after passing the imperial examination did I realize that the court was not as wonderful as I had imagined.
What is the meaning of becoming an official and being worry-free from now on, bullying men and women as you wish, and making a golden shoulder pole as you wish?
That's not the case at all.
Everyone in the court is a shrewd person.
One word you say without carefulness can offend people.
"When I am far away from the temple, I miss you. When I am high up in the temple, I worry about your heart. When I am far away, I miss you. When I am close, I worry. When can I be happy? When can I be happy?" Zhou Jin looked up at the sky.
Li Jinglan also told Lu Bozhou what happened today.
Lu Bozhou was silent for a while, then asked softly, "Do you think they are coming for me or for Brother Zhou?"
Li Jinglan slightly turned her body and looked at Lu Bozhou in the dark: "He came here for my uncle, but I always feel like there's something wrong here."
Lu Bozhou suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand to hold Li Jinglan in his arms, and whispered into Li Jinglan's earlobe: "The Minister of Rites is Li Gelao's man, but others think he is Zhao Gelao's man, even Zhao Gelao thinks so."
"Today, I heard two eunuchs talking behind the rockery."
"Lord Li is not as honest as he appears to be." Lu Bozhou said in a low voice.
"I guess the story went something like this: Lord Zhao was very angry about the assistant minister secretly acting as a matchmaker for Prince Guangping, and he reprimanded the assistant minister several times. The assistant minister became resentful and wanted to betray Lord Zhao and join his uncle's camp."
"But he couldn't find a way to seek refuge with his uncle, so he turned his attention to us. He wanted to seek refuge with his uncle through us."
"These actions seem reasonable, but if you think about him being Li Gelao's man, it's terrifying. If he succeeds in joining him, he will not only frame Zhao Gelao, but also drive a nail into my uncle's side."
"The fear and panic shown by the Minister of Rites were for the world to see."
At this point, Lu Bozhou sighed, "No one would suspect that the Minister of Rites would be someone else's hidden chess piece! I'm sure my uncle wouldn't have thought of that either. My uncle has something on the Minister of Rites. In the future, my uncle will definitely try his best to promote him."
"If there really comes a day when my uncle recommends the Minister of Rites to the cabinet, then Lord Li will have a secret ally. With one of them being open and the other being secretive, my uncle will definitely have a hard time."
“They are all smart people!” Lu Bozhou sighed.
Li Jinglan was shocked: Two eunuchs in the palace were chatting behind the rockery?
How can it be?
The emperor must have let Lu Bozhou know this on purpose.
The emperor didn't want to see Li Ge Lao and Yin Zhihai form an alliance and wanted to muddy the waters.
Now, no matter who the Minister of Rites belongs to, Yin Zhihai dares not contact him again.
Lu Bozhou's political sensitivity is a bit low.
He reminded Lu Bozhou in a low voice, "Tell your uncle the news tomorrow. Don't hide how you got the news."
"I talked to my uncle today." Lu Bozhou nodded.
"What's your uncle's expression?" Li Jinglan asked.
Lu Bozhou hesitated for a moment: "Uncle looked towards the direction of the imperial city and seemed a little horrified."
Check it out.
How powerful this emperor is!
The cabinet is very good at balancing the two.
This one sentence frightened Yin Zhihai and also messed up the situation in the cabinet.
Then he thought of Lu Bozhou in his previous life who was so scolded by Yin Zhihai that he almost committed suicide by banging his head against the wall in the Golden Palace and said that he would give the throne to Yin Zhihai.
Li Jinglan sighed in her heart.
Yin Zhihai dared not criticize the emperor!
Even if he had ten courages, he wouldn't dare to spray!
Feeling that Li Jinglan seemed unhappy, Lu Bozhou asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Li Jinglan leaned her head on Lu Bozhou's chest, "My husband should learn more about being an official from your uncle. If you don't understand something, you must ask questions honestly."
When it comes to politics, natural geniuses are rare, only one in billions.
Only by learning more, watching more and listening more can you develop sensitivity.
The emperor is very powerful.
This is because the emperor lived in the palace since he was a child and was taught by great scholars in his childhood.
He can also attend government affairs frequently, which is why he is so powerful.
When Lu Bozhou was young, he was taught by Lu Xiucai alone, and he was born with congenital deficiencies.
I can only absorb knowledge desperately now.
The next day.
It's the day to send scriptures to the emperor again.
Lu Bozhou put down his sutra and was about to leave when the emperor called him, "Isn't the beauty sent by the Minister of Rites beautiful?"
At this point, the emperor chuckled and said, "How about I give you two beauties?"
