Chapter 199 It seems that everything is ready

Dawai Qianqing Palace,

Following the shouts of the courtiers, Emperor Wu returned eastward to the Yangxin Hall surrounded by Dai Quan and other eunuchs in charge.

The ministers gathered in twos and threes outside the palace to discuss the important matters to be discussed tomorrow. Many officials came around to thank Zhang Jinyu. More importantly, it was necessary to build relationships.

Zhang Jinyu also took the trouble to greet everyone with a smile but never replied.

Such a sophisticated form also made many pavilion elders secretly nod.

After finally squeezing out the door, Zhang Jinyu looked at the people around and said;

"Everyone, instead of surrounding me here again, it is better to go back and think of a solution, or to check the property income of the mansion. This time, the Imperial City Department can assist. I don't know if you have any, but we ourselves and the Imperial City Department are not sure. Very, so I would like to advise you all to be honest and ask for as much as you want, and I will make appropriate reductions and reductions so that the courtiers will not suffer any loss, how about that?"

When the people around him saw this, they all had nothing to say. They all bowed and turned around to leave.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Zhang Jinyu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Niu Jizong and others had nothing to say at the initial meeting, Zhang Jinyu went to welcome them.

"Master Hou, Lao Niu and others thank you for speaking out."

"Hey, we are not colleagues. How can we be so arrogant? Whether Zhang can contribute to your honor? This matter is easy to say. We will discuss it when the time comes."

Zhang Jinyu also expressed it directly, and Niu Jizong and others also understood it. They stopped talking, clasped their fists with firm eyes, and said;

"It's only a long month, Lord Marquis, I'll take my leave soon."

Zhang Jinyu also said goodbye with fists in his arms.

After Niu Jizong and others left, Zhang Jinyu walked out of the hall door. At this time, she saw Qin Ye standing there and looking at him with a smile.

Zhang Jinyu hurried over, supported Qin Ye, and said;

"Father-in-law, it's cold. Why are you standing here? Come on, let's go back first."

Unexpectedly, Qin Ye grabbed Zhang Jinyu's arm and said;

"You don't have to be like this to have an idle son-in-law. Will I be happy tomorrow? I didn't expect Jin Yu to be so lucky, but you are lucky enough to leave it to me."

Zhang Jinyu felt sad when she looked at her father-in-law, who had gray-red hair, and advised;

"Father-in-law, a good moon is coming. It's cold here. My son-in-law hasn't had breakfast either. He's feeling a little sick in his stomach. How about we find a warm place to talk."

"Okay, okay, let's go quickly. I told you, that kid, please eat something early."

Seeing the concerned look on the old man's face in front of him, Zhang Jinyu had mixed feelings in his heart.

And after the dynasty dispersed,

Zhao Jingwu, Minister of the Ministry of War, immediately led people to the Forbidden Army camp, summoned the commander-in-chief Kang Guichen, and ordered him to lead the Imperial Army to block the South City Gate and clean up everything in the attic of the South City Gate tower.

On the other hand, Wei Zhanying, the minister of the Ministry of War, led some of the imperial troops directly to the Five Cities Military and Horse Division, and told He Yongxi to gather people from the Military and Horse Division to blockade parts of Nancheng and the market outside Nancheng, and prepare to build a temporary school ground.

Zhang Jinyu, on the other hand, took her father-in-law Qin Ye with her, and the two of them rode horses and went straight to Nancheng Youlai Restaurant without going anywhere else.

Arriving at the restaurant and entering the house,

Zhang Jinyu smelled the aroma of rice and her stomach twitched. She didn't hesitate and shouted directly;

"The shopkeeper is directly responsible for the food and drinks."

The chief shopkeeper glanced over and realized that the proprietor, Mr. Hou, was here, so he went over to ask;

"Master Hou, can you eat in the private room upstairs or on the east side of the building?"

Zhang Jinyu turned to look at his father-in-law Qin Ye and asked,

"Father-in-law, what do you think?"

Qin Ye directly waved his legs and said;

"No need to bother, Jin Yu will eat at the east side of the building."

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyu ordered;

"Just a few tables over there by the window. Then I'll know where to eat at the next few tables."

The shopkeeper immediately responded with a smile;

"Don't worry, Mr. Hou. Little Minghong and the waiter will inform you later and let Mr. Hou prepare the food first."

"I know, shopkeeper."

The head shopkeeper brought a pot of hot tea over and poured a bowl of hot tea for each of them, then returned.

Zhang Jinyu handed over the tea bowl.

"Father-in-law, come, drink some hot tea to warm yourself up."

"good."

The two of them also held tea bowls and drank slowly, feeling their bodies warm in a moment.

Qin Ye asked after drinking tea;

"My dear son-in-law, is it a little reckless to attend the court meeting tomorrow? Those nobles who owe money are not so easy to ask for. Furthermore, this move of the civil servants obviously wants to force the nobles, so that they can secretly seize power."

Zhang Jinyu felt helpless after hearing this and said,

"Father-in-law and son-in-law don't know the danger of this matter, but the emperor has made up his mind and the nobles can no longer stop it. Furthermore, instead of giving up the power of review to the civil servants, it is better to hold it in his own lap. No matter how he does it, he will not be good to his own people.

Shut up, my son-in-law also uses this to get to know them."

Qin Ye suddenly realized it and praised;

"It turns out that it's like that. You can kill three birds with one stone, but you have to be careful about those nobles who have been entrenched in the east gate for hundreds of years. There is no place clean."

While the two of them were silent, the manager of the restaurant brought all the hot dishes he had prepared, and also boiled a pot of good wine and put it on the table.

Zhang Jinyu handed Qin Ye the chopsticks to eat.

Qin Ye was also very happy. He hadn't felt so comfortable in a long time.

"Father-in-law, how good are those months?"

Zhang Jinyu ate the mutton and muttered. After all, she hadn't seen him in the mansion for many months.

Qin Ye also smiled and said that his daughter was lucky. He took a sip of hot wine and said;

"Very good. He can just sew and mend things at home, read books and learn to be a prostitute. He comes from a small family and doesn't have so many rules and things to do, so he has a lot of free time."

As soon as Zhang Jinyu heard that it was done, she liked being so quiet. Did she take the time to talk to Qin Ye about the things in the East Palace?

"Father-in-law, after the competition, you will no longer be a member of the Ministry of Industry. The renovation of the houses in the capital will be directly handed over to the people in the east and let the Foreign Affairs Office take care of it. You don't have to worry about the rest. Collect what should be collected. If you have anything to do, my son-in-law will give it to you.

You block it."

Qin Ye knew that Zhang Jinyu was responsible for this, but it would not be good to take advantage of it so blatantly.

"Xian son-in-law, he really doesn't dare to interfere with the affairs of the Foreign Affairs Office. Can he take advantage so blatantly? If those imperial officials get involved, it will be troublesome."

"Don't worry, father-in-law, I gave it to you privately. If the Foreign Affairs Office gives it to you, it will be a convenience for you. Besides, it's not the Foreign Affairs Office's business. If I have nothing to do, I'll go for a walk. If I have anything, I'll come to this restaurant."

Just have something to eat and drink. The restaurant here is the property of the Marquis, and as for the imperial envoys, they can just keep an eye on the petty officials. I don’t think they dare to talk nonsense about the government now?"

Is Zhang Jinyu now considered to have seen through the imperial court? He just wants to be correct when taking sides, no one else is worse than the other.

"That's not bad. Hmm? Does the restaurant belong to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Qin Ye never thought that what he was eating now would be the restaurant of the Marquis Mansion.

When the two of them were chatting together while eating together, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division outside the capital city remembered the sound of the rallying horn,

"Ohh Ohh ohh!"

Immediately afterwards, the dull sound of footsteps came from far away, and it was obvious that a large group of people was coming.

As soon as Zhang Jinyu's legs stopped moving, he immediately opened the window and looked out at the streets of Fangshi. He saw a large number of people from the Forbidden Army and the Soldiers and Horses Department heading towards the south gate. The people from the Soldiers and Horses Department began to drive away the small merchants and hawkers. How about that?

Clear the place.

"Jin Yu, what's going on outside? Why are there so many sergeants?"

"Don't worry, father-in-law, does this mean that the venue will be cleared for tomorrow's competition? After all, the emperor really wants to come here to watch it in person, so he must do it in a foolproof manner."

"That's it, Xian-son, are you sure about tomorrow?"

Hearing Qin Ye's inquiry, Zhang Jinyu smiled confidently;

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I will not lose face. Father-in-law, my son-in-law left after dinner. It is very necessary to go to the camp outside the city to arrange something. Send a message to Ke Qing. Everything has been arranged. Just wait."

"

Does Qin Ye naturally know the urgency of time?

"I have to leave first, so don't worry about him. It's so close to home so nothing will happen."

Zhang Jinyu knew that she had to go to Daying to explain something, and it was not good to stay here too much, so she finished her meal, took a sip of tea and shouted to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, please have someone personally escort my father-in-law back to the house when you get back. Don't make any mistakes."
