"Lin Xinyue has a younger sister, Lin Moyue, who is just right."
Lin Moyue just came of age this year and is still waiting to be married. She has been proposed to two families but neither has come to fruition.
The Lin family lost a lot of face because Lin Xinyue divorced and returned to her parents' home, and now they are worried that they can't find an opportunity to save face.
Minister Lin of the Ministry of Revenue was very enthusiastic in selecting the Queen of Flowers, but unfortunately he was defeated by the Wei family in the end.
"Minister Lin and Chief Minister Wei have a somewhat delicate relationship. They sometimes form alliances, which is very disadvantageous to my father-in-law."
During the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat race, the Lin family initially sided with the Jiang family, but turned against them halfway through and tricked Jiang Fulu.
Jiang Fulu always bore a grudge about this incident, and every time he went to court, he had to make some sarcastic remarks to feel relieved.
"Let's spread the news that Wei Jing was abducted by the barbarians, and wait for the people to protest and demand the replacement of the Hundred Flowers Goddess..."
Jiang Yuzhu understood immediately and looked at Xie Zhao in surprise.
As expected of the male protagonist, he has eight hundred ideas and is definitely the strongest in the whole book!
"The Lin family will not waste this opportunity and will strongly recommend Lin Moyue. Even if the Lin family explains and argues, there will inevitably be a conflict with the Wei family."
The Wei family has lost a great helper, and with the Lin family as a shield, the Queen Mother's anger cannot be directed at them.
Except for the Wei family, everyone else took advantage.
"Minister Lin is not stupid. He wants to redeem his daughter's reputation, so he will definitely be willing to charge into battle."
In short, we just need to quietly act as a pusher and then reap the benefits.
"As for my cousin's marriage, let's start preparing first. We can have a low-key wedding while the Lin family is at its peak, which will also help divert some attention."
Xie Zhao didn't need Jiang Yuzhu to worry about him, and he could solve all the problems with ease.
Jiang Yuzhu let out a long sigh, stood up, and walked around the study. Seeing a complex blueprint on the desk, she asked in surprise, "Master, is this a shipbuilding blueprint?"
"yes."
Xie Zhao was surprised that his wife could understand it, so he took the initiative to explain it.
He has been sitting in the position of Jingzhao Yin for several years, and it's time to move.
"Minister of Works Zhang Ju is old and lacking in energy. He has repeatedly requested to retire and return home. The Emperor has chosen me to take over this position."
The Ministry of Works does not have as much money as the Ministry of Personnel, but if Xie Zhao becomes the Minister of Works, he can be on par with Jiang Fulu.
It can be said that he is the youngest Shangshu in the past hundred years of the Great Qi Dynasty.
To this end, Xie Zhao had to make some political achievements to silence the gossips of the civil and military officials in the court.
"Master, if you can achieve great things in shipbuilding, you will be worthy of being the Minister of Works."
Jiang Yuzhu couldn't help but feel a little surprised. With Xie Zhao's promotion, her status also rose, making it easier for her to abuse her power.
Xie Zhao nodded. He had been searching for ancient books and looking for skilled craftsmen recently, just to learn from them.
Shipbuilding is not something that can be completed overnight, nor can it be done on paper. First, a model must be built, a test voyage must be conducted in the sea, and timely adjustments must be made.
"The Emperor has never given up on trade with the foreign seas."
Although the open sea is far away, if one day there are many skilled shipbuilders in the open sea and they send soldiers to plunder the territory of Da Qi, wouldn’t it be like being deaf and blind and unprepared if we close our country to the outside world?
Xiao She has a long-term vision and plans ahead.
As the new emperor of Da Qi, Xiao She is ambitious and strategic. He plans to expand the territory when his army is strong.
Xie Zhao was wholeheartedly concerned about the people. He only hoped that the people could farm and work, have clothes to wear, food to eat, and be able to afford medicine when they were sick, and no longer be so desperate as to sell their children because they could not afford medical treatment.
The lights in the study are bright.
Speaking of his ambitions, Xie Zhao's eyes sparkled with tiny sparks, which touched Jiang Yuzhu deeply: "Master, I will share in your achievements."
Xie Zhao smiled happily, a rare moment, and said, "Of course. Fighting alone is ultimately too lonely. The saying 'it's lonely at the top' is just a helpless choice."
None of the women around Xiao She, including the Queen Mother, are trustworthy.
As an emperor, his future is destined to be a lonely one.
The night was deep, and the mottled shadow of the moon was vaguely visible through the lush branches and leaves of the trees.
Xie Zhao stayed beside Jiang Yuzhu, and the couple walked along the path leading to the Jingzhao Yin Yamen.
The carriage was already waiting at the gate. Xie Zhao suppressed his disappointment and said, "Madam, on the night of Qixi Festival, I will accompany you to visit the capital."
Originally Jiang Yuzhu wanted to invite her sisters, but after receiving Xie Zhao's invitation, she thought for a moment and said readily, "Okay!"
Xie Zhao is about to be promoted, but he still has to satisfy his little requests.
In the following days, just as planned, the news that Wei Jing had been abducted by the barbarians spread like wildfire, and it seemed that the situation was out of control.
The Hundred Flowers Festival is a major festival. If an unchaste woman pretends to be the Goddess of Flowers, it would be a blasphemy to all the women in Da Qi!
The people were outraged and surrounded the Wei family and the Jingzhao Yin Yamen to express their strong protest.
It seemed as if someone was guiding them, and even though the Wei family secretly sent people to obstruct them, the results were minimal.
The Queen Mother in the palace was furious when she heard the news and had to summon Prime Minister Wei.
Finally, on the day before Chinese Valentine's Day, Wei Jing was replaced by Lin Moyue in the position of Goddess of Flowers.
Inside the Wei Mansion, there was another crisp sound of tea cups falling to the ground.
The old woman who managed the storeroom had just put on a new set of teacups when Wei Jing swept them all off with her sleeve.
The old woman said with some embarrassment: "Miss, this tea set is the wife's dowry..."
In the past, the young lady would just punish the servants as usual, but she was not as unpredictable as she is now.
It's a waste to make yourself like this for a man.
Wei Jing's eyes were bloodshot as she pointed at the old woman's nose and cursed, "In this house, I'm the mistress. It's not your turn as a servant to point fingers. Someone, drag her out and beat her up!"
The old woman wanted to struggle, but was dragged away by two strong women.
Then, the sound of beating with a stick was heard in the yard.
