Pick all the cold branches

Father will definitely summon Zhang Siyuan first.

But he couldn't lobby Zhang Siyuan.If you want Zhang Siyuan to be beneficial to the second brother, you can't let the father think that Zhang Siyuan has been "wrapped" by him and the second brother.

He can only find someone else.

The first thing that comes to mind is Cao Min, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Cao Ge is always a veteran of the court, a real power faction, and even the teacher of the second brother. Not to mention his disciples in the court, he has quite old friends with the Zhen family.And Wang Xian, the east bed of the Cao family, was appointed by the emperor's father as a military officer. Although he didn't have a high rank, he was close to the emperor. He was involved in everything.It is not necessary to ask Mr. Cao Ge and Wang Xian to "speak kindly" in front of the father, but it is always possible to feel the holy will and find out the situation.

The second is his grandparent Wanjia.Her mother, Concubine Wan Gui, was born in a family of petty officials, not a noble family. Although she had never done anything for her natal family since she was favored, there were not a few who took the initiative to post it to curry favor. Not what it used to be.Grandfather Wan Liang served as Minister of Industry in the Ministry of Industry and was in charge of fortifications for the emperor. Uncle Wan Shuyou also served as the commander of the Five Armies of Gyeonggi.Anything that can help is secondary, Jiayu has never asked too much from her mother clan, the important thing is not to make trouble.

The third is Jiashou.This seventh brother is different from him, and is deeply loved by his father.The emperor can keep him away from the palace wall, but he will definitely meet Jiashou.Maybe this kid has already passed the nonsense in front of his father.

Jiashou is the second brother's biggest threat now.

Although he didn't want to say this, he had to say it.

He couldn't let Jiashou fall into the hands of others, especially Chen Shiqin.

What Chen Shiqin wanted the most was for his father to become emperor and throw his second brother and Zhen Xian in the imperial prison to fend for themselves, so that he could establish a new master Fu Jiashou.

With Qilang's innocence and stupidity, Chen Shiqin must be pinched to death and become a puppet.In this way, not to mention him and the second elder brother, I am afraid that the country and the people of the world that our ancestors laid down will also suffer together.

Therefore, he must not be willful at this time, or let go in despair.

As long as he holds these three swords tightly, he may not be able to rescue the second brother immediately, but it is still possible to force the emperor to see them and listen to them.

If you can still speak, everything will be returned.

But he can't make his father suspicious, let alone let the eunuchs hold the handle.

Jia Yu didn't sleep all night, and went to Wan Mansion early the next morning with red eyes.He didn't try to cover up people's eyes and ears, after all, it's only natural for a grandson to go back to visit his grandfather, and to visit his own uncle by the way, so it would be weird to deliberately cover up.But I never thought that when I arrived at Wanfu, Mr. Cao Ge was already there.

He originally wanted to ask his grandfather to invite Mr. Cao Ge here in the name of discussing the renovation of the palace next year.Why did Cao Min come by himself?

Could it be that the news was leaked?

Jiayu's mind was spinning quickly.

The second brother just entered the prison yesterday, the news should not have spread so quickly.

Perhaps it was Cao Ge who saw that His Royal Highness King Jing suddenly disappeared after he returned to Beijing. He neither took the initiative to pay homage to the emperor, nor was he summoned by the emperor. , I came here specifically to inquire about the news.

But why didn't they go directly to Prince Jing's Mansion, but came to Wan Mansion?

Cao Min is also a veteran in the officialdom. When Zhen Yu was the chief assistant of the cabinet, Cao Min was his deputy. Cao Min protected himself by himself, but instead took over as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and has lived with Chen Shiqin until now.With Chen Shiqin's ruthlessness in killing the first minister of the cabinet, Cao Min's successor can neither be in the same class as the eunuch party, nor be trampled by the eunuch party.

In the current situation, Cao Min avoided Prince Jing's Mansion and came to Wan Mansion, did he coincide with him, or did he have other plans?Do you want to seek allies to protect Prince Jing, or do you want to change your family to protect yourself?After all, in terms of power, it is much wiser to fall to Qilang at this time, or to extend a green branch to him, the fourth prince, than His Royal Highness Prince Jing who hugged him tightly and crashed into the imperial prison.

It was really hard for Jiayu to guess, and she didn't dare to speak the truth right away, so she could only watch her words and respond carefully, sitting aside and listening to her grandfather Wan Liang and Cao Min, two old men practicing Tai Chi and chatting for a long time about renovating Renshou Palace for the emperor. .

The father is devout to Xuanhuang, and for many years has been determined to transform the Renshou Palace into a place of Xuanxiu, and enshrine the heavenly deities, but suffers from the emptiness of the national treasury, and the progress of the fortifications is very slow.

To put it bluntly, the matter of building the palace is not entirely a matter of the Ministry of Works, but mainly needs to be allocated by the Ministry of Households.It stands to reason that on this matter, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Chief Assistant of the Cabinet got together and talked about it, but there was no result. It was a useless chat.If you really want to talk, you should also call the Minister of the Household Department together, so that you can talk about the real point.

However, in the present period of the Holy Dynasty, the post of Minister of the Household Department has never been lacking.

Since the previous Minister of the Household Department, Zhen Yunli, died, there was no Minister of the Household Department in the Holy Dynasty. Every year, the salaries of officials, the expenses of the palace, the military pay and food, and the needs of the people in famines...all were calculated by the emperor himself.For this reason, the Supervisor of Rituals also specially hired dozens of little servants who are proficient in arithmetic, and they don't have to do anything else every day, and they are dedicated to serving the Holy One's plan.

In other words, the current Hubu Shangshu of the Holy Dynasty is the emperor himself.

It is meaningless not to go to the imperial court to discuss the renovation of Renshou Palace.

That being the case, what are these two old men talking about sitting here sighing and frowning?

Most of them were chatting for him to read, and wanted to wait for him to answer.

But that’s all for Cao Min alone, Wan Liang is his maternal grandfather, and his biological mother’s father, breaking the relationship between the bones and the muscles, what’s the use of coaxing and acting?

Jia Yu was suddenly filled with displeasure, even looking at the two white-bearded old men in front of him, he also felt that his face was hideous, so his face darkened, and the corners of his lips were drawn coldly.

"The Renshou Palace leaks when it rains heavily. My father has wanted to repair it for many years, but the treasury is short of money. Without money, it can't be repaired. Didn't this make people go to Jiangnan to ask for money? It's a pity that the money didn't come back, and they almost lost it." My son is about to be lost. The king of a country can’t even afford to repair a dilapidated roof for himself. I’m afraid no one will believe you if you tell me about such a useless thing. Let me tell you, kill a few profiteers who have ruined the country and the people. If the officials have no family property, they will have all the money they should have, why are they so aggrieved."

The emperor wanted to repair the Renshou Palace, but of course it wasn't really because of the rain.But there are Tatars and Japanese pirates outside, and there are famine and starvation people inside, but the father still wants to build a palace to worship the god of heaven... How can such a thing be said.If I really want to say that, I can't talk anymore.

Jia Yu rolled her eyes secretly in her heart, looked at the gray beards of the two old ministers, and sneered unabashedly, "Otherwise, I will also write a book, and when the cabinet discusses next time, Grandpa and Cao Ge will always take my place Pass it up?"

After saying a word, both Cao Wan and Cao Wan were embarrassed.
