Dingjiangshan

The "cold war" between His Majesty and Prince Gong continued until the spring of next year.

It is said that it is a cold war, but it is not always true—it is nothing more than that Prince Gong has always said that he is sick and stays at home, and the young emperor expresses his acquiescence knowingly.

But because Ning Yan's attitude towards this has always been calm and kind, this "cold war" does not seem to be as full of smoke as Ning Huaijin imagined.

Rumors in the capital come and go quickly, and no one will keep their eyes on the one-acre three-point land in front of the palace all the time. This kind of storybook plot only stayed in their minds for a few days, and then they were squeezed into a corner by the rising meat price to collect ashes.

As for the important ministers in the court, the little fish and shrimp who have stood in line don't have to think about these things, but Shu Qinghui and his like think more - for example, could it be that the uncle and nephew are working together to clean up the court.

This kind of speculation has obviously been tacitly agreed by most people, so that Ning Yan lived comfortably this year, not to mention that there were no censors finding fault three times a day, and even the censors had too many concubines. This kind of trivial matter is much less.

After the restoration of the imperial court, Ning Huaijin went out less often. He was not in the imperial court for a long time, and the news he gradually heard was not as well informed as usual.

On February [-]nd, Ning Yan went out of the palace and led all the officials to clear the fields. When he came back, he sent someone to Ning Huaijin's mansion to deliver a small handful of wheat seeds.

The young little emperor knew what "relaxation and relaxation" meant, and since New Year's Eve, he never teased Ning Huaijin again.Apart from sending some rewards to the palace in a regular manner on days like the Shangyuan Festival, nothing else was mentioned.

The fireworks were never let off.

On the night of New Year's Eve, His Majesty's "heart" came so quickly, it seemed like an illusion.Even after a long time, Ning Huaijin hesitated whether he would be wrong about Ning Yan again.

In fact, it stands to reason that Ning Huaijin should be thankful that Ning Yan knows how to measure, but Prince Gong rested and bathed at home for two months, and instead of feeling safe, he became even more worried.

——He always felt that Ning Yan was planning something in his heart.

Zheng Shaohui has done a good job in the Forbidden Army. I heard that he has been promoted two levels, and he seems to be able to take over Qin Liu's class soon. I don't know how Ning Yan persuaded Zheng Xuehai.

Ning Yan did indeed start to gradually take over the court as Ning Huaijin had imagined before—it's just that the process of taking over was a bit different from Prince Gong's imagination.

But in any case, for Ning Huaijin, if Ning Yan can think about it, it will be a good thing for him.So he didn't think too much, and stayed quietly in the mansion to enjoy the flowers and the scenery.

The plum blossoms in the garden of Ning Huaijin's mansion were bustling this year, but it was a pity that they didn't catch up with the good time. They didn't have the blessing of entering the palace to be made into cakes, and no one was in the mood to enjoy them. They persisted for a long time alone. At the time of the Waking of Insects, the flowers in the garden are unwilling to fall clean.

As soon as February [-] passed, there would be no more serious matters. The court was back on track, and Ning Yan also returned to the single track of up and down.

Jing Zhan had been busy for half a month, and finally sent away all these big and small festivals one by one. He was so tired that he lost a lot of weight. Now that he was completely free, he closed the gate of the National Teacher's Mansion and went to retreat in a cool and unrestrained manner. up.

Ning Yan didn't have much time to make a fuss with him, and he was busy just after returning to court.The transfer and new appointment of the Ministry of Officials must be finalized in the first three months of the year, not to mention, and we must also deal with the greetings from all over the country.

A few days ago, the Ministry of Officials submitted a note and asked about this year's scientific examination.Although the exam time is set in autumn, it is necessary to set aside the time to notify the prefectures and townships in advance, and it cannot be delayed until summer.

Ning Yan hadn't made up his mind about this, so he stayed in it for the time being.

According to his own thoughts, he actually wanted to stop for a year.At the beginning of this year, he began to purge the court alone, and the affairs in the court have not been sorted out. If the exam starts now, the new students from poor families will have to become other people's students before entering the exam room, and they will enter the officialdom in the coming day. Naturally, there is a debt of favor on him.

Forming a party for private interests is a troublesome thing in any dynasty, and Ning Yan is the most troublesome, and he doesn't want to leave this hidden danger for himself.

What Ning Yan meant was that there was no need to stop for a whole term, but to postpone it for a year.This year is enough for him to find out the waters of the court, and it doesn't have to delay the youth of too many candidates.

It's just that there is no such precedent in the Ministry of Officials, and they can't make up their minds and regulations for a while, and they have troubles with the cabinet.

Ning Huaijin was not in the cabinet, and Ning Yan had to deal with more government affairs than the naked eye, and he had to be busy from Shenshi to Haishi every day before he could rest.

He Wenting felt a little distressed when he saw it, so he could only serve some snacks and tea on the ground, and persuade him to rest every now and then.

"You can't be lazy." Ning Yan said with a smile at that time: "There is no time for lazy."

As for what he was in a hurry to do, He Wenting was not too clear.He once thought it was Ning Yan's teasing words, because Ning Yan didn't seem to do any other superfluous things other than dealing with those papers and government affairs on a daily basis.

On the contrary, He Wenting guarded Ruan Yin strictly for a long time, every day whenever he had nothing to do, he would stare at Linglong's whereabouts, and his strings were tightly stretched.

In contrast, Ning Yan seemed much more at ease. He would go to greet Ruan Yin on the first and fifteenth day of every month, and stay in his own place to do business in the rest of the time. When I am asleep, I will read books, draw fine brushwork, and practice swords for a while when I am in the mood.

Ruan Yin and Ning Yan seem to be tacitly maintaining the superficial tranquility, they are intimate and alienated from each other, and they are acting twice a month.

He Wenting had been guarding for a month, and he was tired first. Seeing that Ning Yan really didn't take this matter to heart, he forced himself to let go and pretended not to see it.

Ning Yan is in the critical period of taking over the government. Apart from the daily affairs of the court, he can't let go of other things that are not very visible.

Zheng Shaohui's matter reminded him, Ning Yan kept his mind on it, and asked He Wenting to find someone to check the situation of the various families in Beijing, so that he could have a better understanding.

And what Ning Yan didn't expect was that the inner secretary whom he personally appointed also contributed more or less to this.

After more than two months of experience, Shu Qiuyu has almost mastered the affairs of the inner court, and is more familiar with Ning Yan. He is no longer as alienated as he was when he replied, and occasionally Ning Yan is not busy. Leave her to say a few words.

Ms. Shu has a good family education, and she never lies about other people's right and wrong on weekdays-but it doesn't mean she doesn't know.

And on the contrary, the flower viewing banquet held by the female family members in the back houses of the aristocratic family is simply a gathering place for gossip of the aristocratic family in Beijing.Who dotes on concubines and destroys wives, who's son-in-law is not prudent, and causes disgraceful things... and so on, Miss Shu has listened to them a lot over the years, and occasionally she can pick and tell Ning Yan, but it's true. Inadvertently saved He Wenting a lot of things.

Ning Huaijin is so unhappy drinking tea at home and enjoying the scenery, the little emperor is almost stumped by these things and hit the back of his head - but Ning Yan himself is still happy, and he is not bothered to deal with trivial matters every day, even before going to bed. Take the time to look at the strange invitations sent from various places.

Those excerpts are all kinds of strange, not saying that they saw a rainbow when they went out yesterday, or that they picked the new tea from the earth today-in short, everything can be done, please let me know.

He Wenting accidentally saw it once when he was packing up the papers for Ning Yan, and he was completely shocked. He only felt that the images of those foreign ministers had become disillusioned.

There is nothing serious about these papers, but you have to read them. The first paper to ask for peace since the beginning of the year cannot be submitted to the cabinet for approval. It is really not very good-looking.

Ning Yan's days of using An Zhezi as a bedtime story lasted for two months before he was finally relieved.

Because the chief minister of the cabinet, who had been on the pick for several months, finally returned to Beijing before the spring equinox.

When Ning Yan wrote back to Jiang Xiaohan earlier, he originally asked him to come back before February, but unfortunately, Kunlun Mountain was covered by a heavy snow this year for some reason, and Jiang Xiaohan will leave the mountain in February. When I got down, even though I hurried back to Beijing, it was still more than ten days late.

It was already late when Jiang Xiaohan entered Beijing, and the gates of the inner city were already closed. Fortunately, the guards at the gate knew him and didn't say much. After seeing his badge, he opened the gate for him and let people in.

He came back in a hurry, and he didn't send a letter to the people in the mansion in advance, and the night watchman in Jiang's mansion never thought that the master of the family would rush home so late, and when he got up from the porter to open the door, his head was covered.

The exquisite carriage stopped at the gate of Jiangfu, and before it stopped, the door was pushed open from the inside. The night watchman was holding a pedal, and was about to go to help someone, when he saw a blue shadow swaying in the corner of his eye. .

When he turned back again, the person was already standing behind him.

The girl behind him is about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing a neat blue dress, her waist and cuffs are tightly fastened with white leather buttons, she has never worn hairpin jewelry, and her long hair is tied high with a headband of the same color as the dress. Gathered up, holding a long frost-colored sword in his hand, he was stretching without the image of a lady.

"My eldest lady." The young servant said with a bitter face, "You should wait for the young one to help you."

"Ouch——" Jiang Ling waved his hands, and said, "No need, no need, the bones are crisp from lying down all the way."

Before the boy could speak, a chuckle came from inside the car: "She is not happy, so you can leave her alone and let her go."

Following these words, Yan Qing also bent down and got out of the car, also standing beside the car without anyone's support.

"Go early and come back early." Yan Qing turned around and said to the inside of the car.

Jiang Ling was taken aback, and rushed over to the car window and asked, "Father, why don't you get out of the car."

Before Jiang Xiaohan in the car could speak, Yan Qing patted Jiang Ling's head and explained for him: "He wants to go to the palace—we came back late, even if His Majesty doesn't blame him, we should go to the palace first say hi."

"That's right... But I can't go with you this late at night. Last time when Brother Yan wrote a letter, he said he had something new for me." Jiang Ling murmured in disappointment, and then ordered without giving up: "Then father, remember to tell brother Yan that I will go to the palace to see him after I rest for two days."

Jiang Xiaohan lifted the curtain of the car, and agreed in a good voice, "Okay."

After dealing with his daughter, Master Jiang turned his head, smiled at Yan Qing and said, "You don't have to wait for me that night, you should rest first."
