Chapter 229 Promotion

Shouwang's face was gloomy, and Mr. Jiang frowned: "Wang Shiming has been newly transferred to the post of Duzhi, but I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for a while, otherwise if he is recommended as a deputy..."

"Compared with him, Lao Wu is better." Shouwang said in a low voice. Mr. Jiang said 'um', frowned into a group and thought for a long time. He sighed helplessly, "It's all my fault that I think too little. When I wanted to use people, I found that the court was so passive."

"It's not your fault," King Shou looked at him and said, "Don't think too much about it. This war is a battle between home and the country. Even if someone is scheming, Dad will never allow anyone to break the state's affairs. The logistics is unimpededed. They all know that the war is the rear. What they want to fight for is just this great achievement. Give them. Dad wants That's not what we want. It doesn't matter." Mr. Jiang nodded, but the gloom on his face did not dissipate at all. Let's talk about it first," Shouwang continued: "If it really doesn't work, you can stay in the capital."

Mr. Jiang nodded worriedly, and the two discussed a few more things. Mr. Jiang got up and retreated. King Shou looked at him out of the door and did not look back and ordered, "Send more people to keep an eye on Lao Wu." He paused and added, "And the princess of Jin'an County." Behind the birthday king, a shadow in the corner of the room shook and answered 'yes'. The candlelight suddenly shook down, and then calmed down, and the shadow disappeared.

In the royal palace of Jin'an County, Li Tian sent away Grandma Zhou. As soon as she turned into the council hall, Yue Niang smiled puzzledly and said, "Grandma Zhou is suffering from heart disease or something? Why is she still so sad that the old man has been promoted? What does it mean to come to you? Don't let the old man get promoted?"

Li Tian raised her eyebrows. She couldn't figure it out. Grandma Zhou suddenly came to the door and first talked about Li Xiaozu's promotion to the head of Jicang. After a long time, she actually said that Li Xiaozu was limited and could not bear such a big responsibility, so she could also be a job in building and store affairs. She begged her to think about whether this official could not be promoted.

This makes people unable to figure out. Li Xiaozu is now in charge of the repair and rent collection in the building store. Although there are many benefits, there are not many things to go. The big head of the repair has always been under the control of several meritorious families. Just like the Li family is in prison, it is extremely difficult for outsiders to intervene. Li Xiaozu does not dare at all. The ability to reach in for benefits. Except for these big heads, the rest is extremely limited. As for the rent collection, according to the rules, good houses can only be rented to poor officials and scholars, and the rest can be rented to poor families in the capital. The court is not bad about this rent income, and the rent is exempted from time to time, but this Grace is clear, Li Xiaozu is not a very smart and kind person, and the income in this area is even more limited. Although Li Tian knows that Grandma Zhou Da\Grandma is a typical little rich and safe, after all, Zhou Da\Grandma was born in a prince's family and still has some insight. The promising building and store work is not enough to make her 'little rich and safe'. If Li Xiaozu is in charge of Pingjicang, Zhou Da\Grandma feels satisfied and doesn't want Li Xiaozu rise any more, then It's almost the same, but now, what's going on?

"You go and ask Sun Liu to send people to inquire about two things. One is what's going on with this promotion, and the other is that there is nothing wrong with the Gongfu of Yongguo." Li Tian thought about it and wanted to tell Yue Niang. Yue Niang agreed and went out. She was more curious about this than Li Tian and wanted to know the reason.

After only half a day, Yue Niang opened the curtain with a smile on her face and looked at no one left and right. She sat down opposite Li Tian with a smile and said, "I said, like Mrs. Zhou Da\Grandma, why didn't you reach out your hand with white silver? Guess why? Thanks to her being able to come up with such an idea, if the uncle knew about it, I don't know what he would think.

"What's wrong?" Li Tian answered a sentence. In fact, Li Tian didn't answer, and Yue Niang also said to herself, "Isn't there a long way from Pingjicang to the capital? Although it's not far, if you run back and forth every day, you can't stand it. What Mrs. Yang means is to let the uncle live in Pingjicang and come back twice a month." Li Tian frowned After frowning, Yue Niang laughed a few times and then said, "Grandma Zhou has been married for several years. Isn't she unhappy? Mrs. Yang must want to have a grandson. She secretly stuffed people into the uncle's yard several times, but Grandma Zhou looked closely, and the uncle listened to Mrs. Zhou's dispatch, and this person didn't After that, Mrs. Yang let the uncle live on the other side of Pingjicang, and still wanted to add people to the uncle. When the uncle lived in Pingjicang, Zhou Da\Grandma must stay in the house to serve the marquis and aunt, but there must be no one to serve the marquis. This time, Zhou Da\Grandma has to be willing, and if she refuses, she has to be willing. As long as long as Mrs. Zhou Da\ Grandma was tightly detained in the house, and the uncle came down, "Yuniang frowned: "I can add as many children as I want."

Li Tian didn't know what to say. Yue Niang patted her hand and sighed, "This time I really admire Zhou Da/Grandma. I can really risk it. What is it called? Don't you ask your husband to find a marquis?"

"It's the regret of asking my husband and son-in-law to find a marquis." Qingzhi corrected next to him. Yue Niang waved her hand and said, "I don't know it's regret. I mean Zhou Da\Grandma, this is smart. I tell you," Yue Niang bit Qingzhi and said, "Don't blame me for not teaching you. Have you? Learn a little, and it's too late to regret it. It's best to be straightforward. It's good for you and I'm not good for you, so don't be an official!" Qingzhi looked at Yue Niang with a speechless face. Yue Niang only looked at Li Tian with her eyebrows and said, "You have to help her. I beg you for her."

"What does Li Xiaozu mean?" Li Tian did not answer Yue Niang's words, but only asked back. Yue Niang was astoned and said, "I forgot to ask."

"Then you can ask again." Li Tian looked at Yue Niang rudely, and Yue Niang frowned: "What do you care about him? It's whatever he thinks!"

"Go and ask, I want to know what Li Xiaozu means." After Li Tian finished speaking, she suddenly sighed, "Grandma Zhou is like this. Oh, forget it. Go and ask and come back." Yue Niang also simply answered, stood up and went out.

The fifth prince came back much later than usual. Li Tian was sitting in the kang reading Lin Ke's letter. Hearing the report, she quickly got up and greeted him. Since the day the fourth prince jumped into the lake, the fifth prince has been in a state of finding faults in a bad mood. Although Li Tian doesn't care whether he is happy or not, there is such a town in the house. She is still careful. She doesn't have to serve her aunt, and she doesn't serve her good husband. According to the rules of the world's etiquette, this is something that can't be said.

Li Tian welcomed the fifth prince into the house, took the tea on the tray and handed it to the fifth prince with a smile, "Today, Zhuangzi sent a lot of fresh vegetables and a few bags of green clams. I asked the kitchen to make some spring cakes and some green clams. I remember you like this kind of fresh food." The fifth prince's face was slightly pale, with his eyelids hanging down and holding a shelf with a 'um'.

The two had dinner. Li Tian didn't want to talk politely with him on the opposite side of the shelf. As usual, he laid a pile of books to check the accounts carefully, but the fifth prince did not carry the book as usual. He held the cup in his hand and leaned Li Tian at the edge of the cup. He tilted for a while, put down the cup and waved his hand to the peach branch and others who stood by him. He said, "You step back." Taozhi and others had been ordered for a long time and retreated without a word or extra action.

"What's the matter?" Before the fifth prince spoke, Li Tian put down her pen and looked up at the fifth prince and asked. The fifth prince nodded: "Brother, please fight today." Li Tian looked at the fifth prince in surprise: "Please fight? Does he want to lead the Northern Expedition? Didn't you say that the official family is not in good health? Hearing Li Tian's words, the fifth prince relaxed, but he couldn't help twisting his eyebrows and nodded, "I didn't expect that the eldest brother would invite me to fight. I haven't heard him talk about it before."

Li Tian's eyes were surprised and worried. Looking at the fifth prince, he didn't know where to start. The fifth prince seemed to be big, but in fact, he was careful and keen. If King Shou had the plan to march to the north, he would not be unaware of it. If he didn't notice it, either King Shou's invitation to war was a temporary move, or it was Shou Wang has been hiding it from him and not letting him know. This is not to believe him. Neither of these two seems to be a good thing.

"So you? I mean, what's the king's arrangement for you?" Li Tian asked directly.

"Big brother wants to recommend me to be the deputy for Lao Si, and the general dispatch of military food and fodder." The fifth prince replied directly: "This is very hot and difficult to do." Li Tian frowned in one place and said gently 'um'. This difference is really not easy to do, which is equivalent to being sandwiched between the Shouwang and the fourth prince. What are you going to do? Li Tian's question was extremely light, and it seemed to melt into the surrounding air. The fifth prince stared deeply at her. Li Tian only felt that she was penetrated by this eye and subconsciously raised her hand and grabbed the collar. She never knew that he still had such a sharp side.

"What can I do?" The fifth prince lowered his eyes to the corner of the handkerchief hanging from Li Tian's hand, and his voice sounded very calm: "I've never thought of that dragon couch. I didn't intend to enter the game, but now I have to enter the game, and I can only follow the eldest brother to the dark."

"Is it a temporary intention or a long time plan to fight?" After listening to the fifth prince's words, Li Tian knew that he had made up his mind to stop pestering this topic. The fifth prince's face was gloomily and said slowly, "No one is a good thing. I think it's both."

"So you? Do you have any plans?" Li Tian asked worriedly. The fifth prince looked up at the carved flowers hanging from the corner of the window and said indifferently for a while, "There is nothing to plan. If you can't trust me, you can't blame him. The eldest brother is not a stupid man. If he goes on an expedition, I will help him in the capital. After this incident, he will naturally be able to believe it."

"That's true." Li Tian figured out in an instant. King Shou took the road of indisputability. Except for the princess Ji family, there is no help in the court. If he goes on an expedition, he can support his confidant and have enough ability to take over the entrustment. Except for the fifth prince, there is indeed no one else. In this battle, the fifth prince is exhausted in the capital. Try your best to assist, and after that, you can earn this letter.
