Jia Huan chatted with Mr. Longjiang for a few words, then said goodbye and went to the accommodation arranged by the house to rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIt was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and it was impossible for him to go back to Jia Mansion now.

A crescent moon hangs in the sky.

After Jia Huan took a bath under the service of the maid, he changed his clothes and lay down in the bed in the guest room. Concubine, he doesn't dare to think about it now.

The status of the concubine is quite high. In the palace, the rank of concubines and concubines from the queen is: imperial concubines, concubines, concubines, concubines, nobles, etc.

Jia Huan and Wang Ziteng have a consensus. The primary goal is for Jia Yuanchun to be able to break away from the identity of a female historian. As for the position of the concubine that is vacated now, whoever wants to fight for it, just fight for it!

Of course, Jia Huan still wants Mr. Xie Longjiang's favor. As a distant relative of the royal family, Mr. Longjiang still has some news channels.

…

While Jia Huan was in reverie, Mr. Longjiang was drinking tea and talking to Steward Xu. He was about to go back to the back to rest, and called Steward Xu over to explain what Jia Huan asked him to help with, and to help sell or something, or Steward Xu was in charge.

Mr. Long Jiang explained the matter and said with a smile: "Jia Ziyu is very interesting. Han Zihuan's matter, I owe him a favor. He only wants a commercial return. I didn't want to go, so I told him about the things in the palace in advance. ”

If you bet in advance, you should be able to pay off.

Steward Xu smiled, this favor was returned, and said, "Uncle, maybe Jia Xiaolian just needs silver." ”

Mr. Long Jiang laughed, "Haha! "Lao Xu still doesn't understand. Although the silver is good, which power is important?

…

Jia Huan went to the palace in the evening of the second day after receiving the news from Mr. Longjiang and asked to see Wang Ziteng, and the road was unimpeded. And what Jia Huan and Wang Ziteng said when they met, no one knows. In the eyes of others, this is the king's dominance to show his generosity.

The position of Empress of the Yongzhi Emperor has been vacant for many years. There is only one noble concubine and eight concubines in the harem, and there are more than a dozen nobles. According to the system, there must be one queen, one imperial concubine, two concubines, four concubines, and six concubines. There is no limit to the number of noble people and below.

Zheng Guifei stepped down and came out with an empty position. It's like there's a vacancy in the top of the pyramid and people below are crowding up.

In the next few days, the dark tide surged in the palace, and various forces clashed and competed in the invisible shadows for the vacant position of concubine.

But this had no effect on the government in the capital, the irrelevant ministers, and the middle and lower classes. After all, this is only the emperor's family affair. Anyone who has watched the palace fight drama understands that the tearing of the harem is being staged all the time. Just listen to the jokes that have been circulated, who will pay attention to the things that have not been circulated?

On this afternoon, in the Ruyang Hou Mansion across the north street of Rongguo Mansion, Zhao Xingchen, the son of the Ruyang Hou, entertained a group of friends for a drink. Among these friends, there are wealthy merchants, scholars, and noble children. It's all about talking.

Lu Chengji, a Jin merchant who ran a business of tea, spices, and medicinal materials in Dongzhuang Town, was here, smiling and participating in the banquet of the chubby Zhao Xingchen. I heard that the Marquis of Ruyang did not deal with Rong and Ning Erfu. And he is familiar with Jia Huan of the Jia family. The young man who was originally called Deputy Envoy Jia is now famous all over the world. It is said that ten of his new poems are circulating in the capital.

However, what made him hesitate was the relationship between Jia Huan and the Lin family brothers and sisters. The "Legend of the Condor Heroes", which is telling stories in the teahouse in Dongzhuang Town, is from Jia Huan's hand. And his feud with the Lin family is big.

Of course, this was not enough to be the key to the support of the Marquis of Ruyang by the Jin merchants in the capital. Just a consideration!

In Mingxuan, everyone was drinking, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was warm. In the study of the Marquis of Ruyang, five hundred meters away, Zhao Yu, the Marquis of Ruyang, was talking and laughing with a middle-aged man, in a relaxed manner.

Ruyang Hou Zhao Yu is a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly obese, white and clean, wearing a loose brocade robe, and his smile is a little feminine, "Commander Lu, I am eight points sure about the matter in the palace this time." ”

He is related to Zhao Guiren in the palace. is ready to take this opportunity to push Zhao Guiren to the position of concubine. This required a large amount of silver to favor the eunuchs in the palace.

The real name of the road commander is Lu Yong, a wealthy businessman in Jinzhong, and he donated a three-grade guard commander on his body. At the age of forty, he was dressed as a Confucian businessman and said with a smile: "Master Hou has such confidence!" Lu is willing to donate 20,000 taels of silver to help Hou Ye succeed. ”

Zhao Yu smiled.

After sending Lu Yong away, Zhao Yu looked at the Rongguo Mansion on the other side of the door and the Ning Guofu not far away in the study, and a sneer swept the corner of his mouth.

He and Jia Zhen don't deal with each other. Jia Zhen is friendly with Dai Quan, the head of Daming Palace in the palace, and he is good friends with Li Daxue.

But now Jia Zhen is dead. Scholar Li was also dismissed and returned to his hometown. Implicated by the Donglin Party, his life was extremely difficult. That's why I thought about starting from Zhao Guiren to improve the situation.

If he can push Zhao Guiren to the throne. Hehe, he had long wanted to connect the places of these three mansions, build a beautiful garden, and place the beauties of the world.

I heard that the Jia family also has a daughter in the palace, and it is expected that there will be some action. But this time, don't even think about it. The position of the concubine, I booked it in advance.

…

Ruyang Hou's "ambition", Jia Huan didn't know. He was still in his ice cream business, and the smell of early autumn was spreading in the capital. If you want to sell ice cream, it's only a month or two. By the way, I am waiting for Wang Ziteng's notice.

Jia Huan personally cannot mobilize the network resources of Jiafu, and he has to wait for Wang Ziteng to "give an order". And the timing is up to the prince to grasp.

Jiafu's good connections in the palace are basically left by Jia Zhen of Dongfu: Daming Palace is in charge of the palace and wears the right to wear the palace. This is the most powerful eunuch in the palace.

The eunuchs of the dynasty did not have the power of the previous Ming, and the celebrant did not have anything. The biggest eunuch is the chief eunuch who follows the emperor, the palace overseer and the attendant, and is the fourth grade. Dai Quan is a palace supervisor from the four grades.

On July 5, Su Shishi, a famous prostitute in the capital, set off for Jinling, preparing to brush up her reputation, fight for beauty, and confirm her reputation as the first prostitute in the world.

On July 10, Yan Rong, the newly appointed Grand Master of Beizhili, announced the time of the Beizhili Academy examination in the eleventh year of Yongzhi.

At this time, the candidates who want to compete for the position of concubine began to slowly surface.

…

In the west of the inner city of the capital, in the Xiangyang Houhou Mansion, an old man twisted his beard and sighed lightly. A middle-aged man was reporting, "Father, don't worry, I have already taken care of the power of the Daming Palace to be in charge of the palace." ”

…

Gyeongkook Mansion. A middle-aged man was drinking wine on the side of the desk, and he gave enough silver to Taixia Shouzhong, the capital of the Six Palaces.

…

In the north of a mansion outside the capital, a middle-aged scribe admired the moon in the night, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth. His surname is Wu.

…

In the Yongchang Horse Mansion in the outer city of the capital, several imperial relatives laughed and talked. In the center is a man in his fifties, dressed as a wealthy businessman.

Yongchang said with a mysterious smile: "Uncle He, don't be anxious, we will make friends with Mr. Xu beside the saint." ”

…

In the night, a carriage came out of the palace of Xiao Yongfang and arrived at Jiafu. The palace and the Jiafu are in-laws, and they have always been in contact with each other, and they are not eye-catching.

Jia Huan entertained Liu Guoshan, who came to hand in the task, to drink. Liu Guoshan is a native of Tongzhou and has a wealthy family. After being released with Luo Jiaolang, he returned to his hometown and hid for a while. At the beginning of July, I came to pay my respects to Xie Jiahuan. Jia Huan was about to order a batch of ceramic teacups for ice cream. Handed over to Liu Guoshan to deal with. By this time, all the teacups had been delivered.

Jia Huan bought a courtyard in the inner city, and Jiang Xingsheng was in charge of making ice cream.

While he was drinking, Qian Huai came in with a servant, "Third master, the master sent someone to invite you to Rongxi Hall to discuss matters." ”

Rongxi Hall is a five-room main house in the middle of Jiafu. The door plaque is the emperor's own book "Book to Rongguo Gong Jia Yuan". The couplet is written by Mu Ying, the king of Dong'an County, "the sun and the moon are shining on the throne, and the sun and moon are shining in front of the hall."

It is a place for government activities and political socialization in Jia Province.

Jia Huan understood as soon as he heard it. The starting gun went off! (To be continued.) )
