Chapter 146: Powerful Minister【15】
Yuan Jia looked at the suddenly collapsed shoulders of the old marquis, and felt that he had suddenly aged a lot.
It seems that after handing over the contacts of the Chu family to Yuan Jia, after Yuan Jia avenged him, his energy was taken away, and the whole person couldn't hold it anymore.
Marquis Jincheng pushed the old Marquis' wheelchair away, but before he left, he had someone take him to Chu Wenlan.
Yuan Jia followed the people to the main courtyard, Jincheng Hou's mansion was prosperous and Yin was declining. After Chu Wenlan got married, there were no unmarried daughters in Jincheng's mansion. Yuan Jia, the uncle of Jincheng's mansion, did not have much to avoid suspicion. The place.
He came to the gate of the main courtyard, and the servant girl who guarded the gate hurriedly went in and reported, "Madam, miss, Duke Zhenbei is here."
Mrs. Jincheng Hou said quickly: "Please come in quickly!"
Yuan Jia walked in and saw Chu Wenlan sitting with a graceful lady, he bowed to the woman: "My son-in-law has seen my mother-in-law."
Mrs. Jincheng Hou showed a warm smile on her face to entertain his son-in-law, hoping that he would treat her daughter better.
Yuan Jia and Chu Wenlan stayed in the Marquis of Jincheng's mansion for lunch before leaving. If there were no rules on the day when they returned home, married daughters could not stay overnight, Mrs. Jinchenghou would want to keep the two of them for more time.
Yuan Jia used lunch with his father-in-law, mother-in-law and brothers-in-law. He deeply felt how favored Chu Wenlan was in the Marquis of Jincheng, and even the uncle who brought him was regarded as his own.
Chu Wenlan's brothers are also from Wenwen. The young masters who grew up in the rich and noble nests can't bear the hardships of practicing martial arts. In addition, the old marquis originally planned to let his family abandon martial arts and follow Wenwen, but he did not force them to practice martial arts. , so all of them are weak scholars.
On the way back, Yuan Jia sat on the carriage and fell into deep thought.
He has obtained the contacts of the Jincheng Houfu in the local army, and the next action should be accelerated a little bit.
When Yuan Jia came to his senses from his meditation, he saw Chu Wenlan sitting obediently and quietly, looking at him with her chin up, her eyes a little obsessed.
Yuan Jia raised his eyebrows and looked back, lowered his voice and said, "Does it look good for my husband?"
Chu Wenlan secretly found that the **** was caught, and she was so embarrassed that two blushes flew out of her cheeks, and he hesitated: "Okay, good-looking."
Yuan Jia smiled and reached out and touched her long hair, and said in a low voice, "If it looks good, I'll go back and let you see it..."
Was, molested?
Chu Wenlan's face suddenly turned red into a big apple, and she buried her face in Yuan Jia's arms, not daring to look up.
Back at the Zhenbei Gongfu, Yuan Jia helped Chu Wenlan get off the carriage, and brought the gift returned by Mrs. Jinchenghou to prepare to enter the residence.
At this time, a figure suddenly rushed over from an alley not far away, but was stopped by the guards at the gate of Zhenbei Gongfu.
Yuan Jia looked at the figure casually, and said lightly, "Meng Xi, what's the matter with you?"
This person was guarding outside the Zhenbei Gongfu for several days, and now he has seized a chance to rush to Yuan Jia to show his face.
He looked very embarrassed at this time, the clothes were ordinary and there were traces of dirt and damage, and the bun was messed up. If it weren't for the same face, he really couldn't recognize that this was Meng Sanshao, who used to be reckless.
Meng Xi begged Yuan Jia in a low voice: "Second brother, please help me, help me find a position, even if it's just a sesame official, and I beg you to lend me some money, only 50,000 taels of silver. !"
Yuan Jia listened to Meng Xi, the lion, open his mouth. He really didn't understand how he could say it.
Although 50,000 taels of silver is nothing to the Zhenbei Gongfu, it does not mean that it is small money. In modern coins, it is several million yuan.
Meng Qi asked him to borrow millions of small money when he opened his mouth. Who gave him the face?
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Chu Wenlan stood beside Yuan Jia and looked at Meng Xi with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
As early as the first day after getting married, Yuan Jia told Chu Wenlan everything about her family, especially Meng Xi's life experience.
In her husband's mouth, Meng Qi was a villain who was greedy enough to avenge his revenge, and told her to be on guard against him.
But today was the first time she saw Meng Qi.
As soon as she opened her mouth to Meng Qi, she dared to ask Yuan Jia to ask for an official position and borrow 50,000 taels of silver. Chu Wenlan was sure that what her husband said was true.
Meng Qi lowered his head in embarrassment under Chu Wenlan's gaze, feeling extremely embarrassed and humiliated, but thinking about the money he owed and the consequences of not paying it back, he still gritted his teeth and endured the humiliation and begged again. Once again: "Second brother, you must help me. If you don't help me, I will really die. Seeing the face we have been brothers for more than ten years, save me this time."
Yuan Jia glanced around and saw someone probing their brains nearby, he said, "Let's talk after entering the palace."
Yuan Jia took Meng Xi into the palace of Zhenbei Gong, and he said to Chu Wenlan, "Madam, go to rest first, I will come back later."
Chu Wenlan nodded and took the servants back to the main courtyard.
Yuan Jia took Meng Qi to the garden pavilion to talk about things, "Tell me, what did you cause?"
In the past two days, he has been busy doing ideological work for the old lady and the Yan family, so that they don't always stare at Chu Wenlan's belly. Today, he will go home with Chu Wenlan again. He is very busy with things, so he has not paid attention to it. Meng Qi's movements.
He really didn't know what happened to Meng Qi, and he needed so much money all of a sudden.
Meng Xian shyly wiped his palm on his clothes, and said uneasily: "Second brother, I, I was tricked by my biological mother, she caused my business to lose completely, and I owed tens of thousands of taels of money, The businessman is standing behind the ninth prince, how dare I face the ninth prince now?"
Yuan Jia was slightly startled when he heard Meng Qi mention 'Ninth Prince'.
The ninth prince is the little transparent prince in the original plot who was supported by Meng Xi to force the palace to succeed in ascending the throne. He is really very transparent. If Meng Xi hadn't supported him with the old department of the Zhenbei Gongfu, he would have no position at all. Opportunity.
Now Meng Qi actually said that the backer behind the merchant he owed money was the Ninth Prince?
The current emperor is the only seed of the previous emperor. The late emperor died early. Even if the current emperor has not learned much of the emperor's ingenuity and skills, the throne belongs to him.
Without any competition or setbacks, he ascended the throne. After becoming the emperor, his instinct was to fear the generals with military power, and then a series of riotous operations killed and disabled one general after another, and finally kicked the iron plate of Yuan Jia.
In the original plot, Meng Yuanjia was killed by the emperor and Meng Xi, and the emperor successfully gained military power, but his unreliable methods were also inexhaustible, otherwise Meng Xi would not be able to recruit Duke Zhenbei in the name of avenging his father and brother. The old part of the government forced the palace.
The emperor is also very arrogant when it comes to choosing heirs. Today he is optimistic about this prince, tomorrow he praises that prince, and the day after tomorrow, he thinks that another prince is good... In the end, his sons all became black eyes.
Unfortunately, he did not have the ability to grasp the balance and control the situation. The sons rebelled one by one and forced the palace. After several restraints, the ninth prince supported by Meng Qi got the last advantage.
＜＜＜＜＜＜
Yuan Jia estimated the current time, the oldest eldest prince was only twelve years old, and the ninth prince should still be a little baby.
How old can a little doll recruit his subordinates to do things for him? Does he have the ability to be a backer for others?
The first reaction Yuan Jia felt was that someone was acting in the name of the ninth prince, such as the ninth prince's mother's house.
But after thinking for a while, Yuan Jia doubted whether the ninth prince was a rebirth or a transmigrator.
After all, the system has a criminal record, and the difficulty of his task in this ordinary ancient world cannot be too simple.
The people who caused the death of the original owner Meng Yuanjia were the emperor and Meng Xi, and now both of them are in his palms and can't turn the waves, so the variable of this mission is the ninth prince?
Seeing that Yuan Jia was lost in thought, Meng Qi didn't dare to speak to disturb him.
Yuan Jia suddenly asked, "The ninth prince is still a child in the deep palace, why are you afraid of him?"
Meng Xie replied cautiously: "Second brother, you don't know something. Although the ninth prince is young, his command is quite powerful. It is said that the chamber of commerce behind the supplier was established by the ninth prince..."
Yuan Jia stared at Meng Xi, squinting slightly.
He said: "I know about this, you go back first, I will send someone to check and solve it."
Meng Qi happily responded, and just as he was about to leave, he suddenly remembered: "Second brother, look at me, that official position..."
Yuan Jia said indifferently, "I will regret it if I don't leave."
Meng Qi hurriedly ran away.
Yuan Jia looked at Meng Qi's back, rubbed his chin and pondered: If the ninth prince is really a rebirth...
Yuan Jia did send someone to investigate the supplier who had cheated on Meng Qi and the Chamber of Commerce that was said to be controlled by the Ninth Prince, but at the same time he also accelerated the speed of infiltrating the local army.
If the ninth prince is really a rebirth, then he may not be easy to deal with. After all, the future ninth prince has forced the palace to become the emperor for many years, and the number of paragraphs must be higher than the current emperor who is full of madness.
Yuan Jia didn't have time to slowly fight against the ninth prince, who was suspected of being a rebirth, and it was the kingly way to push him across with lightning speed.
Meng Qi, who had left from the Zhenbei Gongfu, quickly disappeared from his face after leaving the residence. He looked around for a while, turned his head and got into an alley. The back door of a house…
Yuan Jia, who was sitting in the gazebo, suddenly opened his eyes, with a faint smile on his face: "I found a few little mice."
in the palace.
The emperor just got angry for a little thing, he sat down out of breath, looking at the memorials everywhere, the anger on his face has not yet subsided.
As the monarch of a country, the memorials handed to him are all trivial matters, but Meng Yuanjia does all the major matters that really need him to handle. Who is the real monarch? !
At this time, Eunuch Li carefully reported: "Your Majesty, the Ninth Highness asks to see you."
