This is a job that many people dream of getting!

"But will the Queen Mother agree to such a crucial position?" Mao found it hard to believe.

Zhengqing picked up the tea bowl and said calmly:

"If she disagrees, Your Majesty will know that we are not on the same side as the Queen Mother, and the plan to sow discord will fail.

If she agrees..."

Zhengqing raised his eyes and glanced at Mao.

"From now on, you will be in charge of the Ministry of Examination, and officials from all levels will come to you for help. This will be of great help to the revival of the family.

As for the Queen Mother, we will think of other ways to deal with her."

"Great, cousin!" Mao couldn't help but clapping his hands, and his previous gloomy mood was swept away.

He thought of Zhu Lan's feelings again.

"You said, she wouldn't go to Tongzhou...it's not far from the northwest." Mao suddenly thought of something and became a little worried.

"It's hard to say." Zhengqing said, "Don't underestimate your opponent. She may not be unable to think of the things we can think of."

Mao's eyes widened, "We can't let her find it..."

"Don't worry, I've already prepared it."

Hearing him say this, Maocai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Just be prepared. She's hiding in the dark now, who knows what she might be planning.

The people we arranged at the official post stations in various important cities have not received any news from her."

"Her roots are in the capital. She has been away for so long, it is impossible that she did not pass on news to the capital. So she should avoid the official post station."

"Not going through the official post? Then..."

"Do you know Shanlai?"

Zhengqing's sudden change of topic caught Mao off guard. Mao was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said he knew.

"Xiang Lai'er was originally a property founded by the Queen Mother. Later, it fell into the hands of your wife Xue Hui, and finally Tongyun Money House found a way to take it away.

Why do you think the Queen Mother reacted so calmly to the cession of her hard-earned inheritance?"

Mao was shocked: "Could it be that the Queen Mother and Tongyun Bank...?"

"The Queen Mother, Zhu Lan, and the person behind the Tongyun Bank - they are all on the same line."

"Do they have such a huge financial support behind them?!"

Zhengqing nodded slightly.

"Tongyun Money Houses are all over Daliang, and they have their own dedicated silver roads.

If Zhu Lan wants to pass on news to the capital, this is the only option besides the official post station."

Mao stared at Zhengqing's face for a while, and seeing that he didn't seem anxious, he asked tentatively:

"You wouldn't have... arranged for someone to be in the Tongyun Bank, right?"

He smiled quietly but said nothing.

Mao bowed to Zhengqing again and again, and said in admiration:

"Cousin, I'm really impressed by you. No wonder my dad asked me to stay with you every day so that I could watch and learn more.

It seems that he intends for me to inherit his position in a few years, and I will have you by my side to help me.

At that time, our Weiguo Mansion can rest assured! "

Zhengqing looked at Mao, then lowered his head to drink tea, cleverly concealing the sneer in his eyes.

"You and I are brothers, it's only natural for me to help you."

(P.S. Happy New Year's Eve, my dears! I wish you all prosperity, happiness, and happiness in the new year!)
