He still remembered that when Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun found Qingyu Village, they seemed to have deep feelings for Su Jian from their conversation. According to Yu Jiao's current life experience, Liu Ziqi and Gu Yun should not value a concubine's daughter so much.
"But if Miss Yu is not Liu Ci Fu's daughter, why did they go to so much trouble to bring her back to the capital?" Lu Jin actually didn't think that Yu Jiao was not the daughter of the Liu family. Ever since Yu Jiao returned to the capital, everyone in the Liu family treated Yu Jiao very well. If she was not a biological daughter, why would they hold a coming-of-age banquet for her with such fanfare?
Yu Qizhe swallowed the clear wine in his throat and said, "You should go to Huairou first and start with Meng Qingyun and Liu Sanniang and their husbands. We can talk about it after we have investigated them."
Liu Ziqi has great ambitions in raising private soldiers. Once the news leaks out, the entire Liu family will be executed. It is too dangerous for Yu Jiao to continue staying in the Liu family. Yu Qizhe intends to investigate Yu Jiao's background, but he just wants to find an excuse to get Yu Jiao out of the Liu family as soon as possible.
If there is really nothing suspicious about Yu Jiao's background, then he must find a way to go to Liu's house to propose marriage before Liu Ziqi returns to Beijing, and let Liu Ci Fu agree to the marriage and marry her as soon as possible.
However, he had been summoned by the emperor to Fengtianzhai to listen to sermons every day recently, which made him look like a flatterer. Liu Yu did not like his opportunistic behavior, so he went to the Hanlin Academy to see him after the court session the day before yesterday and took the opportunity to give him a warning.
When he entered the officialdom, he had already made up his mind to climb up by hook or by crook, which was contrary to Liu Yu's ideas. Yu Qizhe could guess that Liu Yu wanted him to stay in the Hanlin Academy for a few more years to observe government affairs and gain enough experience before promoting him to the cabinet.
But it would take more than ten years to do it step by step, and he couldn't wait.
Liu Yu will sooner or later notice his ambition, and what Yu Qizhe has to do is to marry Yu Jiao before Liu Yu notices.
Early the next morning, Lu Jin set out for Huairou. After Yu Qizhe went to the Hanlin Academy to report for duty, he went to Fengtianzhai. The eunuch on duty at Fengtianzhai told him that Emperor Mingzheng had not left the court today, and an urgent military report from Lingnan was sent to the palace last night.
Yu Qizhe did not stop and returned to the Hanlin Academy.
"I heard that the cabinet originally submitted Song Ziqian as the first place in the first class, and Yu Zhanxing was not even among the top three. Because of the furnace fire theory, he compared taking pills to taking medicine, which pleased the emperor, so he snatched the first place from Song Ziqian."
"No wonder he is summoned to the Fengtian Palace by the Emperor all day long and has become a big hit in front of the Emperor. But it turns out that he is just a flatterer!"
"What's the matter with the three top honors? In my opinion, it's just an empty title! For someone like him who flatters others, his career will not last long."
Someone saw Yu Qizhe walk in, and quickly cleared his throat and winked at the others.
Several people lowered their heads and pretended to be busy with the things at hand.
Yu Qizhe returned to his desk. He didn't care what others said. To him, power could give him everything he wanted. He understood what he was doing and what he wanted.
The sun shone onto Yu Qizhe's desk. Academician Shen had just returned from the previous court session. Usually at this time, the court session would have been adjourned for an hour.
News of what was discussed in the court today was also passed on. Wuyi Pass was lost, and the Baiyue King Zou Zhenfu led the Baiyue cavalry to attack Cangwu County. Cangwu County was facing the dilemma of being captured.
The Lingnan Army had a total of 200,000 soldiers and horses, which was far beyond the reach of the Baiyue troops. Even though the Baiyue cavalry were brave and good at fighting, the terrain of Wuyi Pass was complex and easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it should not have been lost so quickly.
The truth was that Ji Huai, the Taizhou garrison commander who temporarily took charge of the Lingnan Army, had no ability to lead troops and his command was improper. He was in charge of 200,000 troops, but they were like a group of loose sand and were defeated at the first blow of the Baiyue.
