Volume Four, Chapter 1293, Family Banquet

Li Jinhua kept drinking water. The incident was spread everywhere in the capital, and she could get many news that ordinary people could not get.

But how to say, she is a general after all, and she is naturally not interested in scholars. Her most concerned areas are the Ministry of War and the Privy Council.

There is little room for the Privy Council of the Ministry of War to intervene in such cases.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to sort out the causes and consequences of the situation.

She could only try her best to tell everything she knew and heard, so she was dry and had no interest at all.

He stopped until the final treatment result. Seeing that Zhao Shi was silent and did not disturb him, he felt worried. His husband had returned and was just annoyed him with such boring things. Will his husband not be happy?

After a long time, Zhao Shi picked up the wine glass and smiled and touched Shi Tou Mom, "Mom, these messy things have little to do with us, so don't worry about it. After drinking this cup, find a place to squint. Don't be too happy and your body can't stand it."

Shi Tou Niang was frightened when she heard this. When her son said this, she nodded repeatedly, drank the wine she had given to her son, and then stood up. Several wives and concubines looked at each other. So Fan Rouer helped the old lady and led Xihong to leave the house.

A family dinner is over at this time.

Zhao Shi sighed, sat down, patted Li Jinhua's hand, soothing her anxiety.

After a while, he slowly said: "Is there anything wrong with the two recommended by Mr. Nan?"

In one sentence, it actually shows his current thinking and vision. He is already mature enough. It seems irrelevant. In fact, he asked what is the most critical point for himself.

Li Jinhua and Zhong Qiniang were both stunned for a moment, and then nodded at the same time. Li Jinhua then said, "There are talents for both gentlemen, just... Well, I can't stand the loneliness and have too many interactions with the scholars. It would be fine to ask them about the other things, but this time, if my husband asks them for advice, I'm afraid the result will not be satisfactory."

Zhao Shi understood as soon as he heard this, and these two people were probably unreliable. After thinking about it, he couldn't help but shake his head. Chen Changshou, the staff who had been valued in his mansion, came from Hanoi, and was the grandson of Master Chen, who had a half-teacher relationship with him.

Nan Shiba was not a Qin person, but from the Later Zhou Dynasty, Sun Wentong was simply a Shu person. Li Bowen was a Qin person, but this guy was never a typical scholar. At the time of his downs, he entered the General's Mansion.

So, these people can stand by his side at critical moments, look at some things fairly, and plan for him wholeheartedly.

But these two people later probably won't be able to do it. No matter whether it is the power of the Duke of Muxing, who wants to use this as a rank of promotion, or is moved by the words of Nan Shiba, and is willing to give him advice, they cannot escape the scope of Qin people.

It would be fine if the matter was involved. Once an accident like this was involved in the imperial examination, the two of them would probably encourage the general to open their eyes to Qin Chuan's scholars. Once it was done, they would definitely feel that they were worth it. Will they use General Zhao Shi as their own swords and guns to attack dissidents and make friends with powerful people?

But could General Zhao Shi become someone else's sword and gun?

If you have such a person around you, should you always be careful?

Zhao Shi frowned slightly. It is hard to find a good aide here. A close aide can be regarded as a confidant. What a confidant said can make people listen with confidence, but once a confidant has selfish intentions, it is difficult to predict what it will bring to the master's family.

The two aides were not careful in their words and actions, which made Zhao Shi a little dissatisfied. It was nothing to enter the Duke Xingguo Mansion and make friends with scholars and literati, but he had to go through his permission. After all, the Duke Xingguo Mansion was no longer comparable to those in the past. In major matters, he had to worry about his wives and concubines and could not ask them for advice. So what's the use of raising them?

Thinking of this, Zhao Shi waved his hand and said lightly: "I turned around and gave them a generous gift to Xianghou Mansion. I asked Master Lu if there were anyone she could trust. Besides, the eldest princess's mansion also asked them to recommend two people over. I still don't believe it. The territory is getting bigger and bigger, but the talent is getting smaller and smaller?"

Li Jinhua raised her eyebrows, and Zhong Qiniang was suddenly happy. The two places her husband said were women who were making decisions and asked them to recommend people. It was really... Could it be that your husband wanted to use two female aides?

"There are many talents in the Guowujian, which is not as good as..."

Zhao Shi smiled and shook his head, "It's all young people who can only be considered talents after being trained in the military. Besides, they are not qualified to be staff members. As a member of the army, they are not qualified."

Speaking of this, I felt that the two places I just chose were a little awkward, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, let's talk about this slowly. Qi Niang, you have come back to see the house recently. I have prepared the gifts to my father-in-law. I told my father-in-law that I don't have much time to visit him in recent days. When the time is over, I will go to see him."

Zhong Qiniang felt sweet in her heart. She could understand what her husband meant. After she went back, she wanted to explore the movements in the court. So she smiled and said, "I went back two days ago. My father said, you can go back to Beijing before the New Year. It is true that you can do a good job in destroying the country. It is not a good thing to reward, but stay in the northwest for one more day, so you have to get one more point..."

"The court is afraid that he wants to give his husband a title, but it is impossible to be named a king. Judging from His Majesty's intention, he should be trying to give a real fief for his husband. My father also said that if this is the case, it is best not to say anything, at most he can choose a fief for himself that is not big or small."

"Well, my father said again..."

Speaking of this, Zhong Qiniang's eyes circulated and she giggled, "He said, your official position is getting bigger and bigger, and it is almost as good as his back then. Please be careful and stop interfering in the emperor's family affairs."

When he heard this, he felt a sour smell, which made Li Jinhua amused, but the suggestion was very pertinent, which was the attitude of the serious elders towards the younger generation.

Zhao Shi picked up the wine glass, drank a sip of wine, and smiled, "Well, royal affairs are not easy to deal with. If there is a way to avoid it, who would be willing to interfere in it? I'm afraid, I still can't hide it this time when I return to Beijing."

This is true. Just like when Zhong Congduan arrived at such a position, there was a family behind him. He couldn't even hide in the battle for the throne, but he suffered a great loss in it.

Now with Zhao Shi's prominent power, the royal affairs will definitely not be avoided. Just like the matter of establishing a crown prince, it has been delayed until today, anyone can see that His Majesty is afraid that he will not want to establish the crown prince too early.

But so what? The court officials still sent memorials to be appointed by the crown prince one after another, urging His Majesty to appoint a crown prince early.

What are the ministers afraid of? How can His Majesty the Emperor not know?

The reserve position is empty and waiting for one more day is dangerous for the court officials. No matter how they fight in the future, they must now establish a crown prince so that the ministers can make fewer difficult choices. After all, the reserve position means great justice, and it is up to the court. At least it seems that it will not be wrong now.

To be honest, Zhao Shi must face this problem when he returns to Beijing. If he comes from the bottom of the world, he will only make him cautious. He does not want him to stay away from him, and he cannot be separated from him. This is determined by their status and will not be transferred by his personal will.

Sure enough, Zhong Qiniang continued, "Father also knew that he just said that the eldest son of the emperor was about to become an adult, and the other princes were still young. The husband only needed to be vague, and Your Majesty would not be difficult for the husband. Others would worry about it."

Zhao Shi nodded slightly, that's right, "What else did the father-in-law say?"

Zhong Qiniang tilted her head and thought, "My father also said that after my husband returned to Beijing, he just needed to sit at home and talk about other things after facing you. By the way, he also talked about the scientific examination. When my father heard that the Shu people in the court had more voices, he only said to me, "The Shu people are stupid and have nothing to do with him."

It was similar to what Zhao Shi thought, but after all, he had been away from Beijing for a long time, and his plan depends on the court. With these words, it means that there were no abnormal movements in the court, so he could completely feel at ease.

As for the scientific investigation case, there is really no big connection between the Zong family and Zhao Shi, and Zhao Shi did not care whether Zhong said the stupidity of the Shu people was based on the Qin people's own indignation or what he had, because there was no need.

When he faces the king, His Majesty the Emperor or others may talk about this, but there are too many excuses he can use. His Majesty the Emperor and others will not really want to get any insightful views from a general. After all, that is the business of scholars.

At this point, the topics of the court have ended. Although the couple looked a little deserted, it was good to drink two drinks together.

After talking for a while, Zhao Shi asked, "I just heard that Your Highness the Princess is sick?"

"What's the disease..." Zhong Qiniang was a little quick-talking...

But Li Jinhua stopped him and said, "Your husband will naturally know when you get there. You have to say so much, maybe you will complain in the future, so why bother?"

Zhao Shi immediately heard it. Both of them were a little dissatisfied. After thinking about it, since they were not sick, how could they still say that they had entered the palace with illness? Pretend to plead for scholars? They must have only the face of some people. Did they pretend to be sick and avoid others or did not hide?

Damn, who is so brave? I have to take a closer look at it later. It’s not those princes, right? Sure enough, there is no good thing in the royal family.
