Chapter 389 The beautiful governor teases hard 12
·
Shan Bu Yu Shi Er
As soon as Jinchen returned to the Ziyu Palace, he noticed a bird that looked like a homing pigeon hovering over the palace. It was difficult to spot among other birds.
This is his carrier pigeon at his Jiangnan mansion.
I'm afraid my grandfather's family has news to deliver.
But Jinchen has not forgotten that Xuan Che's spies are everywhere in this palace.
I still don’t know what my grandfather’s family wants me to do suddenly, but it’s better not to be discovered by him yet.
Jinchen would never admit that he was angry.
Pretending to be quiet for a while, he sent all the palace ladies and eunuchs away in the courtyard, and then stretched out his hand towards the homing pigeon in the sky.
The homing pigeon that was summoned quickly swooped down and landed firmly in Jinchen's palm.
Jinchen took down the letter.
Sure enough, it was a letter from my grandfather.
The letter said that knowing that Jinchen would be looked down upon in the palace without a large family to help him, my grandfather contacted his former colleagues and friends, Cui Yu, the current second-rank official minister in the court.
He has been an official for decades and is a veteran of two dynasties. He has received favors from his maternal grandfather's family, so he is very willing to help Jinchen, but the prerequisite is to check whether Jinchen understands the way of the emperor.
So after Jinchen saw this letter, he immediately left the palace and went to Cui's house. He had to pass Cui Yu's inspection so that he could have people who supported him in the court.
After reading it, Jinchen destroyed the letter without leaving any trace.
Why does everyone let him be the emperor?
Jinchen put the bouquet on the stone table and decided to go there.
Now that you are determined to fight for that position, you still have to cultivate confidants.
The official position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is the highest official that he has direct access to currently and has not yet been controlled by Dongchang.
He got up and went back to his room to change his clothes without letting anyone follow him.
[0731, where have Feng Zhu and the others gone? 】
A few days ago, Jinchen asked the emperor to let Feng Zhu come to the capital. Perhaps for Xuan Che's sake, Emperor Qianyong quickly agreed, but specifically asked that only three people at most be allowed to come.
[We are almost in the capital. I guess you will see him when you return to the palace today. 】
Not long after Jin Chen left the Ziyu Palace, a young eunuch followed him in the direction he left. Seeing that he was leaving the palace, he hurried to Dongchang to inform Xuan Che.
-
Jinchen, who was too lazy to walk and didn't bring a carriage, once again chose to use his spiritual power.
He blocked out 0731's screams of protest and shrank to the Cui Mansion mentioned in the letter.
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has arrived——"
After welcoming him in, a servant immediately called inside.
Not long after, Jinchen was welcomed to the main courtyard.
Cui Yu seemed to have known he would come back, and the tea was already prepared.
"Cui Yu meets with His Highness the Third Prince."
He was wearing ordinary clothes, his clothes were simple, his gray hair was neatly tied up, and he looked majestic and upright.
"Grandpa Cui, please get up. I'm here to visit you today. There are no rules for you to salute."
Jinchen helped the person up and gave a respectful student salute.
Cui Yu's serious face looked better.
It seemed that Big Brother was right in what he said in the letter. The third prince did understand etiquette and was not arrogant. He was much better than the eldest prince who came every three to five and wanted to tell the entire Cui family that they must support him.
"Please sit down, Your Highness."
Cui Yu motioned for him to sit in the main seat, and without going into too much detail, he got right to the point and introduced the topic.
"Your Highness must have also received your grandfather's letter."
"Exactly. That's why I came here to bother Grandpa Cui. I hope Grandpa Cui can give me some advice."
"Now that the entire Jin Kingdom is held in the palm of Dongchang's palm seal, Xuan Che, how does Your Highness view this matter?"
Cui Yu was not in a hurry to teach him the way to be a king, but asked such a seemingly weird topic first.
But Jinchen knew that his answer to this question was very important.
In the original plot, although Cui Yu was not controlled by Dongchang, as an official of the two dynasties, he could naturally see that although Xuan Che was ruthless, he really did it for the good of the Jin Kingdom.
So he didn't hate Xuan Che like others, he just wanted to keep the throne in the hands of the Jin family.
This is why Jinchen came to see Cui Yu today. If he was the one who wanted to impeach Xuanche, no matter how good his relationship with his grandfather was, he would not be worthy of Jinchen's visit.
"I think that although Lord Governor is a bit cruel, what he did was not wrong."
"My father is not interested in government affairs now, but the country cannot be left without a king for a day. The governor has great methods, is proficient in the art of examining people's hearts, and combines kindness and power, so that the country of Jin will not be in ruins."
"But... the Governor's methods are too vicious, causing others to avoid him and be extremely afraid of him. This is not the way to be a king."
This was the first time Cui Yu heard praise for Xuan Che from the Jin family, and he couldn't help being surprised and relieved.
Just this question, he also asked the eldest prince, but the answer he got was always that unless Xuan Che died, the Jin Kingdom would not be stable.
Jinchen's answer was not full of praise, which made Cui Yu very satisfied.
"Your Highness's answer is good, but there is one thing I think Your Highness should know."
Cui Yu's original intention was to let Jinchen get the handle on Xuan Che so that he wouldn't lead him around in the future.
"The Governor was also kind-hearted in his early years. It was only after he fell into a rogue's trap that the cold poison entered his body and made him miserable, and he changed his temperament and his methods accordingly."
"What?" Jin Chen suddenly clenched his fists, recalling Xuan Che's unusual body temperature in his mind.
No wonder...it turned out to be because of the cold poison.
But why was it not mentioned at all in the original plot?
In order to prevent Cui Yu from becoming suspicious, Jin Chen softened his expression and said, "How could this happen? Does Grandpa Cui know who the murderer is?"
"The little eunuch who poisoned the poison has been executed, but the real person behind the scenes is probably unknown to anyone except Xuan Che himself."
"I told His Highness this matter so that His Highness would have a handle, and it will be much easier for him to act in the future."
Cui Yu took a sip of tea and his tone became completely friendly, treating Jinchen as a junior.
"But what His Highness just said is still a bit wrong. Government affairs are like a chess game, which requires checks and balances. Even if His Majesty is in power, all officials in the court must make their own achievements and rival families cannot blindly hold power in their hands."
"What Grandpa Cui said is that I still have a lot to learn." Jinchen was very modest.
"His Highness can correct his mistakes without hesitation and do good. The old minister is also happy. From now on, the Cui family...will advance and retreat together with His Highness."
Cui Yu touched his gray beard and nodded towards Jinchen.
Both of them understood the meaning of this sentence.
"My grandson Chengping is about the same age as His Highness. He should move around more in the future."
Cui Yu waved to the outer courtyard, and Cui Chengping walked in. He was wearing a blue robe and looked like a handsome young man.
He understood what his grandfather meant, and he would stand by the third prince's side from now on.
"I heard that the market is very lively today, why don't you, Your Highness, go shopping with me?"
Jinchen showed a meaningful smile.
This affectionate male lead in the original plot probably wanted to "encounter" the protagonist Shouqi Yiqiu in the market.
If he could break up Jinhuaxuan's marriage, he would be quite happy.
"Okay, I happen to be very bored today."
This is his carrier pigeon at his Jiangnan mansion.
I'm afraid my grandfather's family has news to deliver.
But Jinchen has not forgotten that Xuan Che's spies are everywhere in this palace.
