Qi Ning didn’t have any doubts at first, but Madam Tian’s reaction made him feel that something was wrong, he glanced at the silk cloth, and suddenly reached out to hold the silk cloth, Tian Xuerong said in a loss: “Master Hou, don’t… .!”

Before she could finish her sentence, Qi Ning had already lifted the silk cloth, revealing the things below.

Seeing him lift it away, Mrs. Tian turned around abruptly, turned her back to Qi Ning, raised her hands to hold her face, her body trembled slightly, but Qi Ning had already seen clearly at this time that there was actually a chair under the silk cloth.

Seeing Madam Tian’s nervousness, Qi Ning thought that there was something important under it, but when she saw it was a chair, she laughed dumbly, thinking that this woman is really making a fuss, a chair can make her so nervous, but soon she was overwhelmed. It was found that this chair is very special, very different from ordinary chairs.

With a slight turn of his mind, he immediately understood something, and then went to see Mrs. Tian, who had already run away.

Qi Ning was a little embarrassed, and understood why Madam Tian was so embarrassed. Who would have thought that there would be such a chair hidden in the corner of the piano room, he hurriedly covered it with silk cloth, walked out of the screen, and saw Tian Xuerong Standing at the window, the window was slightly open, it seemed to be ventilating, with his back to this side, Qi Ning coughed deliberately, pretending to be okay: “Madam, I… I have something to do, this is I’ll leave it to you on the side.”

Mrs. Tian just said “um” and didn’t look back.

There was an extremely embarrassing atmosphere in the air. Qi Ning knew that no matter what he said at this time, he would be embarrassed. He glanced at Mrs. Tian’s back, and then hurriedly went out, walked out a road, just turned to the road facing the window, and looked back. Taking a look, I happened to see that Tian Xuerong was also looking at this place. The moment Qi Ning turned around, Tian Xuerong was shocked and closed the window as quickly as possible.

Qi Ning smiled and left by himself.

———————————————————

The administration of Chu State continued the system of the previous dynasty, but it was different.

In the previous dynasty, there were left and right prime ministers and six ministries. The left and right prime ministers were directly responsible to the emperor and commanded the six ministries.

However, although the state of Chu continued the six-department system, it did not set up prime ministers on the left and right. At the beginning of the establishment of the country, the four-waiter general discussion with the emperor at the core actually took precedence over the six-department.

The so-called co-consultation of the four parties is naturally dominated by the emperor and the four princes. Because the north is not at peace, and there is a state of Qi in the east, so the state of Chu has always placed itself in a wartime state, and the national strategy is often the emperor summons the four princes. I discussed with some close ministers first to determine the policy and strategy, and then I made a specific decree to the six departments.

There is nothing wrong with the four-chamber joint discussion. Although it is called the four-chamber, the members are not just the four-chamber. According to the specific situation, relevant ministers will be called for discussion within a certain period of time.

The four waiting together to discuss vaguely formed the highest power center of the empire, which managed the national government affairs.

In addition, there are the Imperial Historian Yuan and the Supervisory Yuan, whose role is to supervise the establishment of the six ministries.

However, as early as when the previous emperor was alive, the discussion of the four parties was different from that in the early years. The old Marquis of Jindao Tantai was old and spent all the year in the mansion to recuperate, while the Jinyi waiter, Qi Jing, was leading the troops on the front line. Therefore, only Sima Lan, who was currently the Hou Zhongyi, and Su Zhen, the Marquis of Wuxiang, participated in the four-hour joint discussion, while Su Zhen’s ability was mediocre, and the influence of the Su family in the court was also declining. But he almost never expressed any opinions, even if he said a few words, it was a trivial matter that had nothing to do with the overall situation.

During the Qinhuai War, the former emperor even brought in the King of Huainan to participate in the parliament as an exception. In fact, on the eve of the death of the former emperor, the co-conference of the four parties already existed in name only. Whenever there was a major event in the dynasty, the former emperor would send the six All the ministers convened to discuss the affairs of the court together, in fact, it was also to show the courtiers that when the country was in difficulty,

King and minister are united and united.

After Chu became a state, it was actually in a state of war with the Han state, so the empire’s policy has always been biased towards war. Among the four commanders, except for the loyal commander Sima Lan, who was subordinate to a civil official, the other three commanders were all fighting on the battlefield. The general of the empire, which also shows the emphasis on the empire.

All the policies of the empire were aimed at the Northern Expedition, and the three hereditary candidates were fighting outside. Naturally, the internal affairs of the empire could only be managed by the loyal candidate Sima Lan in collaboration with the emperor. , Although the influence of the Sima family in the military has always been weak, because they are in charge of internal affairs, they have unique conditions in the appointment and removal of local officials.

In the early days of the four-quarters joint discussion, the Sima family, who was in charge of internal affairs, had always been very low-key, and was at the end of the four-quarters. During the emperor’s period, the Sima family, the loyal and righteous candidates, and the Qi family, the Jinyi family, became the two most important pillars of the empire.

The Sima family also firmly controlled the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Industry among the six ministries.

The Ministry of War has always been in the sphere of influence of the Jindao Tantai family, because the King of Huainan once entered the four constituencies to discuss and discuss politics, and gradually attracted the Ministry of Punishment.

The Ministry of Household was once the sphere of influence of the Jinyi Qi family, but because Dou Kui and Qi Jing had a grudge, they turned to the power of the King of Huainan.

Among the various ministries, the Rites were relatively clean, and over the years, the Rites could be regarded as Qingshui Yamen.

Because of the perennial war with the Northern Han, the two countries consumed a huge amount of manpower and material resources, which also led to the simplicity of many etiquette matters in the state of Chu.

The first emperor was a thrifty person, and because of his financial resources, there have been very few large-scale ceremonial activities in recent years, and the status of the Ministry of Rites has always been sullen.

This time the emperor’s wedding, in order to care about the prestige of the empire, although the emperor decreed to try his best to be frugal, but after all, it is also related to the face of Dongqi, so the court still prepared a large amount of money for this wedding, Yuan Lao Shangshu He is very old and knows that this is probably the last big thing he will do in office, so he doesn’t care about his body and works day and night.

The yamen responsible for this matter is mainly the Ministry of Rites, while the Ministry of Household and Honglu Temple are assisting and cooperating. After all, it is the emperor’s big wedding, and there are many red tapes involved, and there can be no mistakes in every procedure.

The emperor’s wedding is bound to be celebrated all over the world, and the people in the capital will naturally be crowded by then, so Xue Lingfeng’s Tiger God Camp and the Kyoto government yamen will also start to arrange early, even the Ministry of Punishment will also start planning and preparations, after all, the emperor is big Marriage, it is inevitable to pardon the prisoner, and naturally many files must be prepared.

As the big wedding approached, the capital was full of busy scenes, and all the yamen were also in full swing.

Chu State’s request for marriage from Dongqi was not well-prepared, but the emperor suddenly announced the decree, and things went very smoothly. The Crown Prince of Dongqi personally led the team to escort Princess Tianxiang to Chu State, leaving the time for Chu State. There is not enough money, so the yamen can only prepare day and night.

Although Qi Ning was not as busy as the officials of the Ministry of Rites, he had been waiting for news from the Beggar Gang for the past few days.

It was no trivial matter for the Grey Crows and other shadow mice to sneak into the capital, and the person who summoned them turned out to be Duan Qingchen, who used to be the black lotus sect. Of course Qi Ning knew that this was unusual.

The most important thing is that the gray crows confessed that they would meet each other on the evening of July 13, and the emperor’s wedding was scheduled for July 18, which was only a few days away. At this time, the shadow mice gathered in the capital, Qi Ning faintly felt This conspiracy is likely to have something to do with the emperor’s wedding.

If it is said that Duan Qingchen’s gang is going to take advantage of the emperor’s wedding to make trouble in the capital, it must be guarded against.

Although the capital is heavily guarded and the little emperor is under strict protection, it is impossible for him to come into contact with the little emperor with the ability of the Shadow Mouse gang, but Qi Ning is worried that there are other more terrifying conspiracies, at least he will never Hope anyone conspiracy will endanger the little emperor himself.

In the Jinyihou mansion, because the emperor gave the marriage, the three old grandfathers were very active in negotiating with the gods. In fact, although Ximen Wuhen is a member of the officialdom, his temperament is more inclined to act in the rivers and lakes, and he does not care about many red tape. It’s just that the three old grandfathers insist on various etiquette. Qi Ning considers that this is a big event for himself, so he does not object to the third old grandfather’s attitude towards this matter.

The 10,000 taels of silver raised by the members of the Zhiruo Qi family were also very happy to send over. Everyone could see that Qi Ning was now highly regarded by the emperor, and the object of marriage was the goddess of Ximen. One hundred taels of silver was rejected by the Jinyi Hou Mansion.

Originally, Qi Ning and Su Zhen and others won more than 20,000 taels of silver in the gambling contract. Before that, they thought about using this silver as the marriage fee, but they thought that the Qi family could solve the 10,000 taels of silver, so they would He happily sent the 20,000 taels of silver to Tianfu to buy shares.

According to the three old masters, 10,000 taels of silver may not be able to stop, Qi Ning doesn’t care, he has sent a lot of money to the Hou’s palace treasury before. .

In fact, Qi Ning wanted to find an opportunity to meet Ximen Zhanying, but according to the customs of Chu State, once there is a marriage contract, it is not suitable for both men and women to meet. Longtai gave the marriage in public on that day. Concerned about the red tape and those taboos, but knowing that this is to respect the Ximen family after all, so I gave up the idea of seeing Ximen Zhanying.

It’s just that he knew in his heart that Ximen Zhanying would definitely go to the so-called old beggar after the incident, but the place where she taught her how to go about was already empty, so Ximen Zhanying had been wondering in his heart.

The court is preparing for the emperor’s wedding, and the Jinyi Hou’s mansion is also preparing for Qi Ning’s marriage. The emperor’s wedding is approaching, so they are in full swing, but Qi Ning has plenty of time here, and he is still discussing the date of marriage. So don’t worry.

On the night of July 13, Qi Ning stayed up all night, waiting for news from the Beggar Gang, but no one came all night. In the early hours of the morning, he barely fell asleep, but he was awakened by Qi Feng before he slept for a long time. , sent a letter, Qi Ning took the letter and glanced at it, there was only a simple sign on it, this was the signal that Qi Ning had agreed with Bai Shenghao in advance, and when there was news, he sent a signal to meet.

Since Qi Ning knew that there were people staring at him both inside and outside Jinyi Hou’s mansion, he naturally did not want to have direct contact with the Beggar Gang. If he wanted to meet with the Beggar Gang, he would go there himself. After receiving the letter, he would burn the letter first. After leaving the house, I rode around in a circle, making sure that no one was following, and then I arrived at the agreed place.

As soon as he entered the room, Bai Shenghao had already come up to him, cupped his hands and said, “Master Hou!”

Seeing his solemn expression, Qi Ning guessed that things would not go well, and asked, “Is there any news about the gray crow?”

Bai Shenghao explained: “Last night, I personally brought two shrewd brothers to watch near the entrance of the temple’s west street. At three quarters of the 19th hour, the gray crow did arrive there as promised.”

“Can the person connecting with the other party appear?” Qi Ning asked immediately.
