House of Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue.

Since he didn't have to go to court, Qian Liang was still at home, having breakfast leisurely with his wife.

Deserved.

Footsteps sounded, and the butler walked in with a hurried look.

Before he could salute, he hurriedly said, "Sir, I just got the news that His Highness has returned to Star City."

what?

Qian Liang and his wife were refreshed.

Soon, joy filled their eyes.

Although there are countless princes and highnesses in Xing Ji City, at this time, in everyone's mind, there is only one person who is worthy of this title.

That is: His Highness Prince Ning.

"Is the news true?"

The matter was so important that Qian Liang couldn't help but ask more questions.

"Sir, the news is absolutely true. The old slave's second son just saw His Highness and General Lei Er on Zhuque Street. According to him, His Highness does not seem tired from the long journey and is still in high spirits."

"Okay, okay." Qian Liang was so happy that he clapped his thigh repeatedly, "I've been waiting for so long, His Highness is finally back safely."

"Hurry and prepare the car!"

"Yes!" The old housekeeper turned and left.

For a moment, Qian Liang and his wife were the only ones left in the huge hall.

"Master," Madam Shangshu called to him quickly, "Are you going to Prince Ning's Mansion?"

"Yes." Qian Liang nodded heavily.

It's already August, and summer harvests from various places are arriving in Beijing one after another.

In addition, the Ministry of Land and Resources discovered large-scale copper and iron mines in other counties besides Qingshi County, which required the court to take back them in time and send people to mine them.

In addition, the gold department needs the right to mint coins, and the warehouse department needs to uniformly maintain and count the reserves inside.

In addition, some key materials related to national defense and people's livelihood in various places, such as medicinal materials from Baihua Canglan County, sea salt from Xiyu County, etc., also need to be uniformly deployed.

As the chief official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Qian Liang has approved as much as he can.

But these matters were of great importance and must be stamped with the imperial seal. He really had no choice.

"But just after His Highness returned to Beijing, you got the news and even came to visit us in a hurry," Mrs. Shangshu hesitated, "Could it be..."

After all, no one in a superior position likes his subordinates to investigate his whereabouts.

Qian Liang understood what she meant, but he waved his hand.

"Madam, there is no need to worry. Our Highness's magnanimity and conduct are unparalleled."

Although Ren Ning had not returned to the capital before, after confirming Yun Chui's identity as emperor, he continued to send back various policy guidelines written by himself to Star City.

As an important minister of the Six Ministries, Qian Liang naturally received a lot.

He read them carefully one by one.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

I originally thought that this was the master who was randomly pushed out by the Grand Master's Mansion and the Xingluo Legion by selecting the taller one among the princes.

Maybe there is something better than other princes, but maybe it's just that he knows how to charge on the battlefield.

But after reading those outlines carefully, Qian Liang suddenly came to his senses.

This Prince Ning is obviously not the puppet prince he imagined who only knows how to nod or respond. He has detailed and executable ideas on how to rule or even revitalize this great empire in the future.

At that time, several major ministers had a conversation, and all of them burst into tears.

It seems that the empire has hope.

However, Mrs. Shangshu still looked uneasy, "Master, if not, you should think about it carefully."

Although Prince Ning has returned to Beijing, he cannot touch the jade seal as long as he does not ascend the throne.

Therefore, the Ministry of Accounts cannot send documents that require urgent approval. In fact, there is no big difference.

Furthermore, there is one emperor and one courtier.

The old couple would forget about it. If they violated a taboo, they would have to go back to their hometown to spend their remaining years in peace.

But they also have a daughter named Qian Qiao, who is the wife of the general of the Starfall Legion.

Mrs. Shangshu had to be cautious.

"Confused." Qian Liang glared at his old wife.

Who said you can't touch the jade seal without sitting on the dragon throne?

Now that the entire court recognized Prince Ning's succession status, he could naturally use the jade seal.

Yunchui was founded more than 600 years ago, so this is not without precedent.

As for Wei Junqian...

When Qian Liang thought of this name, his teeth itched with hatred. Gotta get.

At this time, footsteps sounded again.

The butler ran in.

"Sir, the carriage is ready. At the same time, the old slave also received news that several other ministers and the grand master have already gone out and are heading towards Prince Ning's Mansion collectively."

"Did you see it? Did you see it?"

Qian Liang glared at his old wife again.

Humph.

Mrs. Shangshu was relieved. After snorting coldly, her hand touched the fruit plate on the desk.

Qian Liang's neck shrank, he quickly picked up the documents and hurried out the door, even forgetting to bring his favorite beads.

All the ministers' mansions are in front of the imperial city, not too far from Prince Ning's mansion.

When Qian Liang arrived, several other ministers also arrived.

He turned and looked around.

Sure enough, at this time, a large number of people with different expressions had gathered outside Prince Ning's Mansion.

At first glance, you can tell that they are sent by various government agencies.

Looking at the eager looks, it seemed that as long as Qian Liang and others waved, the masters behind them would rush over from their homes immediately.

However, several people turned a blind eye to this and exchanged a few greetings.

They were all ministers, regardless of their rank, but Fan Wen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, was the oldest. He straightened his clothes a little before asking his servants to knock on the door.

squeak.

The palace door opened in response.

Qian Liang looked behind Fan Wen and took a look.

The high threshold on the palace gate is now lying on one side, and it seems that it has not had time to put it back.

His hanging voice suddenly returned to his heart.

Zou Dahe came out with a smile.

"I have seen the Grand Master and several ministers. Several distinguished guests are here. Please come in quickly!"

He used to be Ren Ning's housekeeper, but since his master became the prince, Zou Dahe also had a new identity. At this time, he should be called Prince's Mansion Chief Shi.

That was the sixth rank official of the imperial court.

It is exactly the same as the official rank that Ren Ning received after defeating Nan Feng.

"Your Majesty, please." Several ministers bowed their heads before following Zou Dahe into the palace.

Squeak.

With a sound, the door of the palace closed again, completely shutting out the inquiring eyes of everyone outside.

Yet the large crowd did not dissipate.

A long time passed before someone spoke softly, "Everyone, I'm late. Your Highness...has he really returned to the capital?"

No one said anything.

If he comes late for this meeting, then he must live far away, which means that the master's status is not high, so there is no need to pay attention to him.

But among all these people, there are always those who live further away than the speaker.

"He must be back. Didn't you see that the Grand Master and several ministers came to visit in person, and they didn't bring their wives with them."

"That's right." Many people nodded.

If you don’t bring your wife, you are definitely not looking for the princess.

"Everyone," someone else couldn't help but say, "His Royal Highness has returned to Beijing. The next step is... Does anyone have any news about Qin Tianjian?"

hum~

The surroundings suddenly became commotion.

As long as Qin Tianjian calculates a good day, the new king can ascend the throne, and the lives of these people can be restored.

Apart from anything else, at least I no longer have to be frightened when I go out, or even dare to take a sip of wine.

However, a long time passed, but no one said anything.

The voice still refused to give up, "Qintian Prison is so big, there are a lot of people inside. With so many of us, don't we have any relatives or friends inside?"

The people around me looked at each other, but all of them remained silent.

It's okay to gather around the gate of Prince Ning's Mansion and take a look. As for Qin Tianjian, when the new king comes to power, even if he knows the situation, he doesn't dare to say anything casually.

That's a matter of losing your head in a matter of minutes.

They haven't lived enough yet. (End of chapter)
