Reborn as a bride, pretending to be virtuous, the prince held his waist and regretted

Instead, Xie Jin saw Gu Xirong coming back and waved, "Madam, I'm sorry for making you suffer."

Gu Xirong's nose was slightly sour, and she choked up and said, "Husband, I am not suffering. As long as my husband can recover his health, no matter how hard or tired I am, it will be worth it."

Xie Jin sighed, "My wife, the Marquis of Changning Mansion looks down on me now. I will make sure that they cannot afford me in the future."

Gu Xirong, who was originally a little discouraged, after hearing Xie Jin's bold words, thought of how Xie Jin had become a high and mighty regent in his previous life, and thought he could do the same in this life.

"My husband, I believe in you. You are just unlucky, not without talent. Let's plan well. I believe that my husband will be able to soar to the sky in the future."

She had always wanted Xie Jin to soar to the sky, but she never thought that there was no such thing as soaring to the sky in the world.

Especially in the career path, which one does not require a little accumulation?

In his previous life, Xie Jin also climbed up step by step and never soared into the sky.

Even if there are people in the court, how can a general be promoted if he has no outstanding military achievements? If he cannot convince the people, it will be difficult to lead the army.

Civil officials have more tricks, and if they want to be promoted, they should make achievements. I didn't see that Changning Hou Zhou Ze made great achievements, but the officials above him did not make mistakes and occupied the position, so Changning Hou could only be the Minister of Rites.

If he wants to be promoted again, the Minister of Rites must retire, and then Marquis Changning will have a chance.

As for Zhou Jin, with the support of his entire family, he developed a high-yield crop, corn. This was such an auspicious sign and a great achievement, but he was only promoted two levels, from the sixth rank to the fifth rank.

To be promoted from the fifth rank to the fourth rank, even if one has made contributions, it will take five to ten years.

Of course there are exceptions, such as Li Guojiu.

He had no outstanding political achievements, but he relied on his status as a relative by marriage and on being the crown prince.

Even so, in the eyes of many ministers, the official positions obtained by the Li family were not obtained through legitimate means and they had no talent at all.

Xie Jin's eyes were gloomy, and he nodded and said, "My wife, we will have to endure humiliation in the northern border from now on. We can't return to the capital in the short term."

Gu Xirong felt regretful. The northern border was too dry, and the food and clothing were not as good as those in the capital.

However, for Xie Jin's future, he has better prospects in the north than in the capital. After all, in the capital, Uncle Li has been suppressing Xie Jin.

"My husband, we are one. I am ready to endure hardships when I come to the North with you. Perhaps what Sister Xiling said is right. We should take it step by step when we come to the North."

"My husband doesn't have to worry about being isolated and helpless in the North. Changning Marquis' Mansion knows that I had a dream prophecy. If there is anything involving Changning Marquis' Mansion, I believe they are willing to make a deal with me."

"At that time, even if the Changning Marquisate wants to avoid suspicion and doesn't want to help us, as long as they want to exchange dream predictions, they will have to help us. Husband, what do you think?"

Xie Jin was startled, and after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that what Gu Xirong said made sense, "My wife, we really can't be too high-profile now. Doing so will only magnify my greed and recklessness this time."

Gu Xirong breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Xie Jin would not give in and would act in a high-profile manner like before. "Husband, we must be patient. Compared with those who have no purpose and no backing, we have a lot of bargaining chips in our hands."

Xie Jin's eyes lit up, "Madam, you have had fewer dreams since arriving in the northern border. Could it be that you have had dreams again recently?"

In order to encourage Xie Jin, Gu Xirong nodded and said, "I dreamt about the mastermind behind the recent boom in Honglianfang in the capital."

Xie Jin took a breath. He also had spies in the capital, collecting information about the capital's movements for him. Among them, Honglianfang was the one mentioned the most.

Many people are now investigating the final mastermind behind Honglianfang, but to no avail.

"Madam, do you... do you know who is the mastermind behind Honglianfang?" Xie Jin couldn't believe it. "Tell me, please tell me quickly. I'm also curious."

Gu Xirong whispered softly in Xie Jin's ear. When he heard the name, Xie Jin's pupils shrank and he was stunned.

"Oh my God!" Xie Jin was shocked. "How could it be him?"

Gu Xirong was proud, "No one would have thought of it! If it wasn't a dream, we wouldn't have known. Don't worry about it now. After a while, we will tell the news to Chang Ning Hou in exchange for helping you eliminate the impact, or even have someone in the Northland take care of you."

Xie Jin's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "Yes, this dream indicates that the Marquis of Changning must be willing to make a deal with us. However, we can't delay it for too long. If the truth is discovered, this news will be useless."

Gu Xirong smiled and said, "Husband, don't worry, I know what I am doing. I will plan for you."

Xie Jin held Gu Xiling's hand, and said gratefully, "Thank you, my lady. Marrying you is the greatest blessing in my life."

Gu Xirong felt warm in her heart and nodded, "You and I are husband and wife, and being able to marry you is the greatest blessing in my life."

She also hopes to become the regent princess!

If it's hard to do in the north, go to the northwest.

That was where Xie Jin made his fortune in his previous life.

At the same time, the reputation of Honglianfang in the capital became even greater.

Even Jin Linwei couldn't find out who the master behind the scenes was. He said it was a wealthy merchant from Jiangnan.

But no one believed that the merchant identified was the real mastermind.

Emperor Kangping looked calmly at Commander Xu of the Jinlin Guards, "Lord Xu, have you not found the mastermind behind this yet?"

"That businessman surnamed Zhao said it was his property, and he also owns many brothels in Jiangnan. On the surface, it seems to be this person's property, but I always feel something is wrong."

"After all, there were young prostitutes in the capital before, but most of them were quiet. How could they be so ostentatious as they are now? I don't believe there is no problem behind this."

Emperor Kang Ping pondered for a moment and said, "Since we can't find out anything, then just seal it up and shut it down."

Commander Xu was startled for a moment, then responded, "Your Majesty is wise. This tactic of throwing a stone to test the waters will surely cause a stir and expose the true face of the master behind this."

The next day, an imperial censor impeached the officials who had been to Honglianfang in the court.

The older ministers in the court are not so bad.

Maybe they value official careers more, or maybe they are willing but unable, so almost no one goes.

But young officials or sons of nobles were impeached. Originally, they were just talked about behind the scenes, but now it was exposed in the court, and there was no fig leaf at all.

Young officials who held official positions were dismissed.

The minister whose son went to Honglianfang was demoted.

For a moment, the entire officialdom was shaken.

After these ministers returned, the first thing they did was to punish their sons according to family rules.

What's worse, a young man from a noble family who was in poverty rang the drum to file a complaint, accusing Honglianfang of causing harm to others and causing him to fall ill.

This series of combined punches took place in one morning, and then the Jingzhao Yin led people to directly seal off Honglianfang.

However, when the constables went in to arrest the man, they found that except for a few servants, the Red Lotus House was empty.

This incident gave people more thoughts than the great shock in the court this morning.
