Chapter 277 They Can’t Lose!
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty learned about this, their first reaction was - Emperor Mingze had already investigated to such an extent, they really had to take the little guy away as soon as possible!
Right Prime Minister Tan Wenhan exchanged a glance with Kan Ruifeng beside him, his heart sank, and he stepped out of the team again. Before he spoke, he bowed politely: "Your Majesty! I am old now, I am afraid--"
Jiang Yanchuan suddenly sighed deeply: "Mr. Tan."
Tan Wenhan's lengthy speech was suddenly interrupted.
Jiang Yanchuan said helplessly: "Why do you think I would hold the little guy in my arms at the New Year's Day banquet?"
In fact, he did not care about blood ties as much as everyone imagined. If the young man had not rushed forward recklessly that day, he would still be like a lone ranger, walking back and forth like the wind in this huge imperial city.
All the ministers present choked and instantly forgot all the speeches they had prepared.
There was varying degrees of confusion in their eyes.
Your Majesty picked up the little guy because...
Was she afraid that the King of Danxia would get angry and hurt people, that the little girl would lose her composure and rush forward, or that her voice was too small and no one would be willing to listen?
They have been in the officialdom for decades, but at this moment their eyes are like newcomers who have just entered the officialdom, with a hint of clear stupidity in their confusion.
Jiang Yanchuan: “…”
He wanted to say that his reaction was a subconscious one out of concern, that he also wanted to reassure everyone, that the little guy's increasingly arrogant expression amid the envious eyes of the children of various countries was very cute, and he secretly wanted to watch him for a while longer...
But when I saw this scene in front of me, I suddenly didn’t want to say anything.
The ministers didn't even understand what he was thinking. They went to such lengths just for the safety of the little guy, which made his concern, which didn't require any effort, seem insignificant.
Jiang Yanchuan directly told Fang Siwan the news he got from her, "The person in the painting is called Fang Yiwan, and she is the mistress of the Lin family, a wealthy merchant in Beijing."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then quickly put their other thoughts aside and focused on listening to the information Emperor Mingze had found.
Things related to the young man had long entered their field of vision, and they naturally knew the relationship between Fang Yiwan and Concubine Wan, but they didn't know much more.
Jiang Yanchuan did not want to waste time on the basic information and went straight to the point: "This person has no intention of taking the little boy back home, and he is deep-minded and has a lot of plans. If he is not handled properly, it may cause great trouble in the future."
The atmosphere in the study fell into an unspeakable silence because of these words.
A big disaster?!
The images in the minds of the civil and military officials rushed in all kinds of ridiculous directions, and the end point of each one was fixed on the scene of the little boy being alone and drifting!
Tan Wenhan was the first to figure out Emperor Mingze's thoughts. He changed his mind and said, "Your Majesty! I am old now and I am afraid that I don't have enough energy to deal with too many things. I want to find a quiet house to rest and recuperate. I think..."
"I think that since the Lin family is a famous wealthy businessman in the capital, the place where their mansion is located must be elegant and quiet, suitable for retirement and recuperation. Tomorrow, no, today, I will go find someone from the manor house business to find a house for me!"
Jiang Yanchuan nodded, and said casually as if he didn't care much, "Okay."
Civil and military officials frowned in thought.
The eyes of all civil and military officials lit up!
They finally understood some deep meaning from the conversation between the two people. They were annoyed and couldn't help but sigh that today's matter was really a case of them being too concerned and confused. They couldn't even understand such an obvious hint from Emperor Mingze. It was a waste of their decades of study in trying to figure out the emperor's intentions!
After they figured it out, everyone's minds became active.
Since they can't expose the matter at the moment, they might as well settle down near the Lin Mansion and monitor it nearby!
Duke Wang, who had already resigned, stepped out suddenly and said in a loud voice, "I just happen to have the same need. Prime Minister Tan, please wait for me later!"
He had nothing else at home. Because of the Gu Yurou incident a few days ago, he had hired a number of experts in secret surveillance into his house, and they would come in handy this time!
"No," someone objected, "Prime Minister Tan and Duke Wang are both powerful. If they appear around the Lin residence together, they might arouse their guard."
After his impassioned speech, he began to bring in his own agenda: "Why not let me go this time? I will definitely not let your Majesty down!"
The courtier, who had not yet opened his mouth, hissed as if he had a toothache.
The area where the Lin Mansion is located is a famous wealthy area in Beijing.
The environment there is quiet and peaceful, and the houses are separated by a long distance, which also determines -
There weren't many houses around here for them to choose from.
Everyone looked at the official who had just spoken, their eyes filled with confusion.
In order to achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to drag down his colleagues, with such cunning words and such dirty means!
——They can’t lose!!
"Your Majesty!" Someone suddenly said, "There are more than 30 hired guards in my house. If they find anyone from the Lin Mansion doing anything unusual, they can take action immediately. Please allow me to go there in person!"
"Your Majesty, I believe that I have a unique advantage in this matter," Jinyiwei commander Lu Yao said with his head held high and his face full of pride.
"The Jinyiwei under my command are all experts at hiding their bodies and gathering information. If I were to settle down nearby, the subordinates who report to me in person could investigate and would definitely not let anyone in the Lin residence find out where I am!"
This rare spot has been reserved by someone named Lu!
"Your Majesty! I, your humble servant..."
"I think——"
The atmosphere in the study was unprecedentedly heated. Jiang Yanchuan and the concubines, who were usually very quiet, did not show any impatience at all.
They looked at the courtiers in the hall with great interest, and even felt a little moved in their hearts.
That's great.
The uncles that the little guy likes so much also like her.
The ministers racked their brains to find their own advantages in this matter, and their degree of thinking was even more serious and cautious than when they took part in the imperial examinations.
The number of places is limited and you only have one chance to make an entry!
You must fully explain your advantages!
Although the young man's mother had not yet had time to do anything, as the loyal subjects of Da Rui, they should not have mobilized so many troops, but...
They just spent a little more time observing, what does it matter? !
All the ministers were justified and did not think there was anything wrong with a group of people banding together to deal with a commoner!
After a while, everyone's advantages were fully explained, and dozens of eyes were raised to look at Emperor Mingze in front of them——
It's your final decision!
Jiang Yanchuan raised the corners of his lips almost imperceptibly, raised his arm and made a gesture to Eunuch Changshun.
