The First Traitor [Rebirth]

There are three reasons for Princess Luohua to marry Luo Qilang: First, Luo Qilang has a good reputation and is indeed a suitable husband-in-law to the outside world. If she marries Luo Qilang, she will not worry about being wronged;

The second is that behind Luo Qilang is the Luo family, and she can use the power of the Luo family to enable her to achieve greater goals;

The third is that she does not want Luo Qijiao to marry someone else; marrying Yuan Jing, at least Princess Luohua can guarantee that Yuan Jing will not touch Luo Qijiao, nor will she be wronged.Lending to others, let alone whether you have a good character, I am afraid that it is impossible to not even take concubines.

If she were to marry Luo Qilang, it would be tantamount to elevating the status of the Luo family to another level, and more people would come to the Luo family to ask Luo Qijiao to marry him; and if the Yuan family wanted to have stronger allies, You have to consider letting Yuan Jing marry Luo Qijiao.

Her thoughts were too selfish, which made Luo Qijiao feel frightened and chilled.

"Do you know Yuan Jing's identity?" Luo Qijiao asked again.

Princess Luohua was stunned for a moment: "Yuanjing's identity? What is his identity?"

Luo Qijiao looked at her steadfastly, trying to see something in her eyes, but Princess Luohua obviously didn't know anything about Yuan Jing's identity.Then why did Princess Luohua have such an idea?

"Luohua, we have known each other for nearly ten years, do you consider me a bosom friend?" Luo Qijiao asked.

Princess Luohua approached her, her lips twitched, and she was about to express her thoughts excitedly, but she thought that Luo Qijiao might just regard her as a sister.Calming down the excitement in my heart, I said, "I... I know you blame me for being too selfish, but I don't want to see you being wronged."

"Doing things that the other party doesn't like in the name of 'considering the other party', how can it be called 'considering the other party'?" Luo Qijiao looked at Princess Luohua, full of disappointment, "Princess, go back first, let me be quiet."

Princess Luohua panicked, but she still couldn't say anything.Now that Luo Qijiao is full of worries, she is "betrayed" by her close friend, so she is not in a good mood.You can't resort to the truth to Luo Qijiao, she won't be of much use here.

Princess Luohua was never Nanlian, she couldn't be as decisive as Nanlian, and she couldn't see her loved one being kept in the dark.She told Luo Qijiao the whole story, why didn't she hand over another big problem to Luo Qijiao?

Luo Qijiao's mind was messed up by the original incident. Before she could digest it, her good sister for many years told her that for her own benefit, she could sacrifice her happiness.The impact of this piece of news can be said to have a great impact on her.

Leaving aside Princess Luohua's place, just the fact is enough for her to think about it.

If Yuan is really a woman as she guessed, why would Nan Lian stay with her regardless?Did Nan Lian know Yuan Jing's identity before, or did Yuan Jing keep it a secret?

If Nan Lian knew about it, those two women...

Although Luo Qijiao knew that in the world there was such a thing as having sex with one another, but many powerful families also raised many prostitutes.But Yuan and Nan Lian are not in such a relationship, can it be taken seriously that two women are together?

Luo Qijiao repeatedly pondered the reason for this.

The next month, Yuan Ye decided not to ask Yuan Jing to propose marriage to Luo Lao Hanlin out of overall interest and selfishness.Yuan didn't blame Yuan Ye, anyway, she also revealed what Luo Qijiao should know, and she was at Luo's house if she agreed or not.

Now that there are more people coming to the door to talk about matchmaking, the Luo family is still thinking about it, and has not given an answer for the time being.

At the same time, the king of Qi asked for an order to return to Beijing on the grounds that he safely escorted the deposed prince to Puyang and properly arranged his diet and daily life.

The Qi royal party responded one after another, asking for an order for Qi Wang to return to Beijing.King Liang instigated his officials to ask King Qi to stay in Kaifeng to supervise the diversion of the Yellow River on the grounds that the diversion of the Yellow River was a serious matter.

Seeing that the opportunity came, King Qi tearfully stated in his letter to the emperor that he remembered that the eldest prince was ordered to go to the state capital where the flood occurred to direct the construction of a river dam, and then he contracted a fever and died.I hope that the emperor's heart will soften when he thinks of the past, and he will be allowed to return to Beijing.

The emperor felt a little moved in his heart, and was about to allow him to return to Beijing, but he was seriously ill and fell on the bed for several days and couldn't get out of bed.The government affairs were handed over to several academicians to handle together, and the matter of King Qi's return to Beijing was also shelved.

The emperor's illness was more serious than usual, and King Liang, King Zhao, and Princess Luohua often came to the bed to serve him, which made the emperor feel a little relieved.Thinking of King Qi, he ordered: "Qi Wang Xiao was ordered to escort King Ao of Puyang County to Puyang, and arranged his food, clothing, housing and transportation properly. It can be said that he has put in painstaking efforts. I am really pleased that the two of them are brothers and sisters. Now that my dragon is sick, I have some regrets that he was not able to be filial by my side. So let him go back to Beijing!"

"Father is blessed by the gods, and the imperial physician also said that this is just a minor illness, and it will recover in a few days. Father, don't worry." Liang Wang avoided the serious and ignored it.

Zhao Wang was straightforward: "Father, should we also call the second brother back?"

The emperor hesitated, then wearily sent them out again.After the surroundings quieted down, the emperor asked Liu Xiao, "Is my end approaching?"

"Your majesty just feels the wind and cold occasionally, it's nothing serious." Liu Xiao said.

"I am old."

"The emperor is not old." Liu Xiao comforted again.

The emperor thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's all! I'm really sick and confused, it's just a minor illness and I shrink back so much!"

King Qi thought that he would return to Beijing, but was disrupted by a heavy rain.Hequzhou has had several heavy rains since the beginning of summer, and it has rained continuously for several days in recent days, and the Yellow River is hard to drain the rainwater, so that the Hequ City is flooded.

Fearing that the river would spread to Kaifeng or harm the surrounding state capitals, the imperial court asked the magistrate to organize people to dig the river first to drain the accumulated water.King Qi happened to be nearby, so he led the officials of the Ministry of Industry to help. On the one hand, he could appease the refugees on behalf of the court, and on the other hand, this was also one of the responsibilities of the prince.

King Qi had no choice but to accept the order, and if this matter was done well, I believe the emperor would change his mind.

And Liang Wang, who was far away in the capital, received the emperor's order and went to Fengtian Pavilion to preside over the sacrifice.This time the sacrifice was not held at the altar where one used to pray for good weather and prosperity, but in Fengtian Pavilion. Its main purpose was to pray for the emperor's dragon body to be healthy.

King Qi and King Liang each had tasks, but the emperor didn't tell King Zhao what to do. He was anxious, but he couldn't rush to the emperor to ask why, so he had to ask Yuan Jing for help.

Although Yuan actually vacillated between him and Liang Wang, in view of her role, Zhao Wang still decided to throw an olive branch to her.He had a good relationship with Yuan Jing before, if he could win over Yuan Jing in this battle, he would undoubtedly win over the support of the Yuan family and the members of the Yuan family.

In order to show his favor to Yuan Jing, he tried his best to find out Yuan Jing's preferences.If Yuan didn't have a liking that could be taken advantage of, the emperor would not reuse her.So King Zhao heard about Yuan Jing's two or three affairs with Nan Lian, and he was overjoyed: "If she is just a good wife, then I will make a bunch of widows for her; if she really likes cousin Fangyi, then I will buy her Promise Fangyi to her!"

He doesn't care whether Yuan Jing and Nan Lian conform to the code of ethics, and this matter can also be called a sharp edge to restrain Yuan Jing in the future.He was complacent about this, and asked Yuan Jing to come over for a drink and specially arranged for a beauty to serve him, to see Yuan Jing's reaction.

It turned out that there was no smile on his face, but a serious criticism: "Now the emperor's dragon body is ill, and the prince is so indulged in drinking and having fun, where is your filial piety?"

King Zhao's expression changed, and he immediately withdrew everyone and delicious food, leaving only a pot of wine and a plate of side dishes.He didn't blame Yuan Jing for not giving him face and scolding him, but thanked Yuan Jing for his reminder.The emperor was sick in bed, so he drank and had fun in the mansion. If the emperor changed, what should he think of him?

He and Yuan Jing chatted like ordinary friends, talking about many past events to arouse Yuan Jing's intimacy, and then tested Yuan Jing who would choose between him and Liang Wang.

Yuan Jing didn't answer, King Zhao couldn't help feeling depressed, but fortunately his long history reminded him after Yuan Jing left: "If Master Yuan has no intention of choosing the prince, how can he let the prince withdraw from the banquet and dance music?"

Zhao Wang suddenly realized that if Ruo Yuan didn't want to help him, it would just give Liang Wang a chance to make greedy remarks to the emperor and annoy the emperor, so why would the emperor favor him again? !

In order to express his heart, Zhao Wang secretly ordered someone to send a small box of gold, silver and jewelry to Yuan Jing.In order to reassure King Zhao, Yuan Jing had no choice but to accept it.Cultivating confidantes and hiring people to handle errands all need money to manage, and the money that Yuan actually got can be spent on that.

Soon, a censor impeached the king of Qi for failing to properly handle the flood in Hequzhou.The emperor failed to go to court, but it was related to the prince, Luo Lao Hanlin still reported the matter to the emperor.

The emperor didn't want to deal with the king of Qi, but only ordered: "The most important thing is to calm the people's grievances, and do what you need to do for disaster relief!"

Since Hequ State is not considered a big city, and the granary in the state capital is sufficient to store grain, the state government gave priority to handling it by itself.However, the Capital Water Division of the Ministry of Industry was already too busy with the diversion of the Yellow River, and could not properly handle more matters.After discussion, the academicians proposed to the emperor to add the posts of Dushuisi Langzhong and Yuanwailang.

Although there has always been a fixed number of official positions in the yamen, it is common to add or abolish official positions under special circumstances.Every year, there are constant floods in various places, and the engineering changes in recent years have caused a serious shortage of manpower in the water department of the Ministry of Industry. It is imminent to increase the number of officials.

So after some calculations, three additional doctors from the Dushui Division of the Ministry of Industry and three Yuanwailang from the Dushui Division were added, and the grades remained unchanged.The candidates are either selected from those with good conduct in the Ministry of Industry, or selected through the examination of the Ministry of Officials.

The Dushui Division has always been regarded as a hard-working yamen, just like every year there are constant floods in various places, and doctors, Yuanwailang, etc. need to travel around to investigate.If the errand is done well, it is the job. If it is done poorly, the hat of incompetence will be put on the head, and it is easy to become a scapegoat.

But this is also a yamen that is easy to suck up.The money allocated by the imperial court to build river dams and dredge rivers is also a considerable amount of money, and as long as you move your mind, you can get a lot out of it.

Lin Jingran, the son of Lin Xuanda, the current Hanlin scholar and the son of Lin Xuanda who offered sacrifices to the Imperial Academy, entered this yamen, and his friend Guo Ping was with him.The two of them were friends with Yuan Jing, so some people speculated that this was specially arranged by Yuan Jing.

It turned out that they were going to complain about grievances. Before they were friends with her, they were descendants of aristocratic families, and behind them were the Lin family and Guo family with their own power.Although the Dushui Division is a hard-working yamen, the doctor's position is at least a fifth-rank official. As long as they do their jobs well, no one will be able to gossip when they go up. How could the two families give up such a good opportunity?

When Lin Jingran and Guo Ping officially entered the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, it was already autumn.

At this time, Yu Shiyu impeached Guo Yong, the left servant of the household department, for stealing millions of autumn grain.

It turns out that someone finally took action against her, and the impeachment of Guo Yong was just a temptation before pulling her into the water.

The author has something to say: These two chapters are probably all conspiracies, and there is no romance for the time being~~
