It is almost the New Year, although the rules at the various yamen in the capital city are that the yamen will not be sealed off for holidays until the afternoon of New Year's Eve.

But in fact, after twenty-three, all the yamen were basically idle.

Except for the urgent matters of the border, all the officials from the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Civil Affairs ignored them and sealed them all and then dealt with after the New Year.

The only thing to do now is to present a New Year's greeting to the palace.

Then wait for the governors from other provinces to come to Beijing, and after scattering the ice and respecting the carbon, check the harvest, and then think about whether to have a fat year or a thin year after returning home...

In this way, the memorials sent to the palace will be reduced by half.

Emperor Longzheng, who had been busy for a whole year and had no rest for a day, finally had a chance to breathe...

Today, Emperor Longzheng had a rare day off, so he hosted the imperial garden, and invited the Queen, Prince Zhongyi, Zhang Tingyu, Guo, and the fifth prince Yingzhou, and Prince Zhongyi, Prince Yingpu to enjoy the winter plums together.

It is a reward for the hard work of these people over the past year. Of course, Ying Zhou and Ying Pu are the ones who have taken action.

Before entering the park, I received a secret letter from the CRRC Mansion, saying that Jia Huan had sent some self-portraits to Mrs. Rong Guotai, which was very interesting.

Emperor Longzheng then became interested and sent Su Peisheng to take a look.

Now the affairs of the court are getting smoother and smoother, and all liquidations of the capital are coming down smoothly, and even fewer people dare to disobey the situation.

Because in addition to Zhang Tingyu, Emperor Longzheng discovered another official who was very favored by him, that is Guo.

Although this person is not as amazing as Zhang Tingyu's talent as he is in heaven and earth, he is also extremely outstanding.

Moreover, Zhang Boxing is honest and upright.

During the more than 20 years of King Zhongshun's power, Guo Shi never spoke out and did not apologize to the party.

Therefore, I have been sitting on the bench for twenty years.

It was not until Emperor Longzheng took power that he swept away the dullness of the past. Within ten days, he put twenty-eight consecutive notes, and the bullets were all over the remnants of Zhongshun in the court.

The government and the country looked sideways!

Therefore, he was able to get into the eyes of Emperor Longzheng. In just a few months, he was promoted from a 17th-rank cadet to a 3rd-rank Lantai Temple doctor.

After Zhang Boxing was bedridden in winter, Guo temporarily took charge of the Lantai Temple Censor's Pavilion on his behalf.

The promotion was so rapid that even Zhang Tingyu could not match him at the beginning.

He did not disappoint Emperor Longzheng's expectations. When he first took office, he swept across the demons and monsters in Lantai Temple with a very tough and strict attitude, and lived a life of people.

Many young men who dare to speak out have been promoted...

He was very bold, but even Emperor Longzheng was invincible, and he was increasingly valued by the emperor.

The holy loves the sun rises.

The king and his ministers walked slowly past the stone bridge paved with white marble, and while joking, they admired the hundreds of blooming winter plums in the imperial garden.

Zhang Tingyu and Guo were both talented people. Emperor Longzheng and Prince Zhongyi also informed each other and left behind a few poems about plum blossoms.

After crossing the stone bridge, I climbed to Yunyan Pavilion.

Dozens of yellow eunuchs and palace maid Zhaorong stood beside him.

The eunuchs in the palace had already burned the ground dragon under the pavilion here to the point of being hot, and there were green barriers around them, so there was no chance of cold wind.

There are several places scattered in the pavilion, and the emperor and the empress are on it.

Emperor Longzheng was not a talkative person, so he waved his hand and let everyone sit down.

Just as I was about to say "eat", I finished the account...

Su Peisheng walked over with a small yellow door.

Emperor Long Zheng raised his eyebrows and did not rush to start the meal.

Seeing this scene, Ying Xiang smiled slightly.

Empress Dong, Zhang Tingyu and others are also used to it.

"His Majesty……"

Su Peisheng walked forward with three long boxes and smiled and said, "I've all been taken."

Emperor Longzheng said without commenting, "Oh, that's all?"

Su Peisheng hurriedly said: "The others are mostly portraits of Ning Hou and the family members of the Jia family, so..."

"snort!"

Emperor Long Zheng said unhappy: "This bastard has known that he has been hanging around among women all day long and has not made any progress."

While speaking, Su Peisheng had already opened a long box, took out the scroll, slowly opened it and presented it to Emperor Longzheng.

Empress Dong, who was standing by, already knew that this was a portrait given to Mrs. Rong Guotai by Jia Huan, and it had nothing to do with political affairs, so she did not avoid it and turned slightly to watch it with Emperor Longzheng.

Just by looking at it, Feng Yi lost her.

"Puff!"

What the emperor and the empress looked at was Jia Huan's meaningful smirk, and his eyes were slanted to make a "funny" look.

Because of the realistic painting method, the real painting is vivid.

Empress Dong covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and kept laughing.

Emperor Long Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and cursed: "This bastard is used to making trouble." There was still a smile on his face.

After saying that, he handed the painting to the curious Ying Xiang and others.

Ying Xiang is kind by nature. In addition to being strict with his only son Ying Pu, he is kind to other royal children.

Therefore, as soon as the painting came to his hands, Ying Zhou looked at Emperor Longzheng and saw that he was looking at another painting, he sneaked to Ying Xiang.

This kid is born with a silly spirit. Seeing Jia Huan's appearance, he couldn't help laughing.

Until Emperor Longzheng looked at him with a knife-like look...

"Your Majesty, it seems that this kid Jia Huan is quite filial and knows how to entertain relatives with colorful clothes."

Ying Xiang looked at Huaer and laughed.

Emperor Long Zheng's face was not very good, so he gave Ying Xiang the second painting in his hand and said coldly: "What filial piety does he have? I think he is just a seed of unfilial piety!"

Ying Xiang was stunned when he heard this, not understanding why Emperor Longzheng suddenly became annoyed.

But when Queen Dong smiled secretly on the side, Ying Xiang breathed a sigh of relief before looking down at the second painting in his hand, it was the painting of Jia Huan kneeling down and paying honor to Grandma Jia.

Ying Xiang was originally a very smart person. After thinking about it, he found out the reason why Emperor Longzheng was unhappy. He laughed and said, "This guy is afraid he doesn't know the rules yet.

Which governor from other provinces doesn’t know how to wish the emperor a happy new year early?

He was young and forgot to respect the emperor's filial piety.

When he returns to Beijing in the future, the emperor will be a good student to settle accounts with him."

It would be fine if Emperor Longzheng didn't listen, but he became even more angry and said annoyed: "Has he forgotten? He didn't have this filial piety!"

"His Majesty!!"

Ying Xiang was about to smile and persuade him, but he heard a harsh shout suddenly coming from the side, cutting off his words, and almost scaring Ying Zhou beside him...

The originally leisurely and homely atmosphere suddenly changed and became solemn.

Emperor Long Zheng's face remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Guo who had somehow suddenly attacked.

Guo originally knelt beside Gao Ji, but now he stood up, stood up proudly, and spoke seriously: "Your Majesty is the ruler of the world and the emperor of all peoples.

Ning Hou is just a minister.

What qualifications does he have to let His Majesty judge it as filial?

Your Majesty is like this, where can the rules and regulations exist?

I hope your majesty, be careful of your words!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expressions changed one after another.

I couldn't help but take a breath.

This guy is really brave enough to say...

Emperor Longzheng even turned a blind eye on the spot.

He was as open-minded as Emperor Taizong of Tang, and he also wanted to kill Wei Zheng several times.

What's more, Emperor Longzheng, who was lonely and stubborn.

Ying Zhou was stunned when he heard this and said, "Uncle Thirteen, how is this possible? Jia Huan can do nothing else, but his ability to make money is better than anyone else. My nephew is still thinking about asking him to help me...

Well, Uncle Thirteen, how could he lose money?”

Ying Xiang was very patient and did not bother Ying Zhou to be stupid, and explained: "Jia Huan's movements in the south have touched the interests of many people.

Of course, those people were unhappy to think that he would do a big and good job in the south, so they wanted to spread rumors and cause trouble, which would ruin his reputation.

He had no choice but to sell 100 taels of silver and fifty taels.

Many of the goods on the Daughter Street he opened were imported from Jiangnan, not from his own.
