Chapter 1217 Where did you get this information?
"There are many officials in the court. If they vacate the empty rooms in their mansions, it will probably solve the accommodation problem for scholars coming to Beijing, and the court will also gain a good reputation. What's wrong with killing two birds with one stone?" Zhan Chi didn't think there was anything wrong.
"Literati are also classified, and there are also requirements for which literati can live in officials' residences. Emperor Beili is suspicious by nature and is afraid that officials will secretly collude. If the official residence takes them in, there is no guarantee that they will not be accused of forming a clique for personal gain." Ye Qianning explained.
Zhan Chi was speechless for a moment: "The one we took in wasn't from the martial arts world. A scholar can't lift or shoulder anything. Is that really necessary?"
"Dad, don't underestimate the scholars. Sometimes they are more lethal than the gangsters." The scholars' words can stir up a lot of trouble.
"Okay, but no one has solved the accommodation problem. In a few days, the Beijing Inn will really be full."
"Don't worry, the Crown Prince will definitely find a solution. Let Grandpa wait a few days." Ye Qianning slowed down and said, "Even if the Crown Prince can't solve it, the Emperor of Beili will make it easy. After all, envoys from various countries are coming soon. If scholars sleep on the streets, it will bring shame to Beili."
Zhan Chi nodded, then suddenly looked up, puzzled: "Where did you get all this information?"
What happened this morning reached her ears before noon?
"Du Yi just went out to do some work and overheard the prince and several officials discussing countermeasures." Ye Qianning said.
"I see. I thought you had spies around the prince."
Ye Qianning smiled. She really wanted to place someone next to Sang Qi, but Sang Qi was more cautious than she thought, and he was surrounded by assassins who had followed him for many years.
The Eastern Palace was also very strict, and no palace maids or eunuchs were allowed to enter.
Zhan Chi moved closer to Ye Qianning and said, "I just overheard something new at Xianrenzui."
"Tell me about it."
"Several old foxes in the court met at Xianrenzui after court today, and every word they wrote was meant to criticize you. On August 16th, you and the newly appointed Yong'an Marquis both sent invitations to various places in the court. Originally, neither of them would go, but now it seems that they are all going to the Yong'an Marquis's mansion to celebrate."
Ye Qianning was not that surprised.
It is normal that a stateless and identityless person and a money-rich person would not be in their eyes.
but--
It's interesting that the old guys want to attend the banquet at the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion to slap their family in the face.
That afternoon, officials in the court had close contacts in secret, and some officials even disguised themselves and visited the residences of several officials in succession, with a clear purpose.
What happened at the flower-viewing banquet involved several mansions. It was said that many of the daughters of the mansions fainted after returning home from the flower-viewing banquet, and several of them had high fevers that night.
The doctor was scared when making the diagnosis.
There was also the emperor's deliberate favoritism, who secretly issued an order to shut up the mouths of all the prefectures and prohibit the leakage of information. This move made the prefectures even more dissatisfied.
Therefore, the officials who went to lobby for the banquet hosted by Marquis Yong'an went very smoothly.
When Prince Changyang heard about this, he felt that the officials' behavior was becoming more and more outrageous. In just ten years, the court of Beili had become so chaotic.
What the hell are these?
"If they don't want to go, then they don't have to go. We can just prepare gifts and go." Princess Changyang said.
"The court... ah!"
Prince Changyang wanted to persuade her, but he felt it was inappropriate to talk to a woman, so he waved his sleeves and sat down.
"I don't understand the affairs of the court, but I can tell good from evil. Guan Mengyan, an unmarried girl, actually gave someone that kind of drug in public. Such evil deeds deserve death."
