The Evil King's Favorite Concubine: Genius Perfumer

Chapter 380

Is the Ji family going to be unlucky?
Gan Tiantian blinked, waiting for his cheap master's next words.

Lin Qingyang's tone was brisk, and he didn't need Gan Tiantian to cheer him up, so he continued talking on his own.

When Lin Qingyang went to Beijing at the end of last year, the atmosphere in the capital was already tense.It turned out that the old emperor had suffered a serious illness and was about to die.

At this time, the six ministries of the cabinet are all busy, and the dignified civil servants are terribly nervous. Who has the time to control the "little things" of the Shangxiang Bureau and the Shangpharmaceutical Bureau?
Lin Qingyang's backer is also busy with his own future and doesn't care about him.So he stayed idle in the capital for a while, quietly waiting for things to calm down...or to make things bigger.

Don't look at Lin Qingyang as the absolute leader in Yujiang Xiangfang, he says what he says, as if he holds the power of life and death for many people.But in the capital city, he is nothing - a restaurant signboard in the capital city can hit seven or eight fifth-rank officials casually, who is he?

So Gan Tiantian didn't hear many palace secrets from Lin Qingyang, Lin Qingyang only gave a brief overview.Anyway, the old emperor in his early sixties managed to survive, he was able to walk on the ground again, and he was able to attend a grand court meeting.The chaotic hearts of the people in the court temporarily subsided again, of course, it was really temporary... who knows if the old emperor will have such luck next time?

After the old emperor recovered from his illness, he paid special attention to the performance of everyone during his illness.The nobles and ministers who he considered loyal to him were greatly rewarded, while those who "had bad intentions and took the opportunity to make trouble" were suppressed one after another.Losing an official position is a trivial matter. Because the suspicious emperor suspected that they had "disobedience", several honorable families were demoted or even directly seized their titles, and were demoted to common people and exiled...not to mention the chaos.

Xijiang is some distance away from the capital, and only the upper-level officials know about the various changes that have taken place in the political center. Ordinary people like Gan Tiantian can't feel it for the time being.

Lin Qingyang didn't specifically say which noble family was unlucky, but said that the Ji family's big backer, Ji Jinfengji Daxiang, was involved in some court battles, and was disgusted by Empress Dowager Sheng, who severely reprimanded her.Although she has not been specifically punished, many people in the Shangxiang Bureau have already disobeyed her orders. It is said that Empress Dowager Sheng did not send her out immediately because of old feelings.

"Why, the Empress Dowager didn't take her..." Gan Tiantian didn't quite believe the ridiculous saying of "reminiscing about the old love", the Empress Dowager Sheng reminiscing about the old love?It's just a female official, not a relative of her own!Aren't officials and palace maids such creatures as order and blame?
Lin Qingyang smiled mysteriously: "You also thought of it, yes, the queen mother hasn't driven her away yet, because there will soon be a big event that requires the participation of the Shangxiang Bureau."

event?

Gan Tiantian admitted his shallowness, so he could only continue to play the role of flattery: "Master, what's the big deal?"

"Just before the Chinese New Year, the envoys of the Nur Khanate, a major country in the Western Regions, came to the capital."

Gan Tiantian heard about this country from Ji Bingyun.It is said that the Nuer Khanate is rich in precious spices, and the country also advocates the way of incense like the Great Xiao.Although its territory is not as vast as the Central Plains, it is a veritable place of origin, and its raw materials are abundant, so the local perfumers are no worse than Da Xiao's perfumers in terms of skill and taste.

The reason why the envoys of the Nur Khanate came to the capital was because the two countries clashed repeatedly on the border last year, and the weakening Da Xiao had actually lost several major battles... If the Great Wall was not strong enough, the soldiers of the current army There is no major problem with the number and supplies, and the Nuer have already invaded the Central Plains.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Great Khan of the Nur Khanate died suddenly. There are gossip that he died of a palace rebellion.As soon as the Great Khan died, several major forces immediately separated their territory, each supported a prince as the leader, and civil strife began.

Da Xiao's frontier generals were overjoyed, and when they were about to regroup and kill these people from the Western Regions, their own emperor fell ill...

Well, it's God's will, both sides have reached a stalemate due to non-military factors, and in the end...it can't be fought anyway.

In the end, Da Xiao had better luck, the emperor finally woke up, didn't he?And the civil war in the Nur Khanate has not yet ended, and for the time being, Prince Turda, the second son of the former Great Khan, is the Great Khan in name.And Turda was too busy dealing with his brothers who were grabbing territory, and had no time to take care of the war in the Central Plains, so both sides proposed peace talks.

The peace talks have to be discussed carefully, and it is inevitable to argue with each other, and it will not be done so quickly.The envoys of the Nur Khanate came to the capital and received a high-level reception, but the peace talks were deadlocked and there was no progress...

"After talking so much, what does it have to do with Ji Jinfeng?" Gan Tiantian asked Ji Bingyun in a low voice.

Ji Bingyun's vision is naturally different from hers, and he knows the doorway here as soon as he hears it.

Don't look at her previous life as a housekeeper, she lived in the palace!

"It should be the spice trade between the two countries, and people from Shangxiang Bureau need to talk about it."

Oh I got it.

Gan Tiantian understood that, as the former leader of the Shangxiang Bureau, Ji Jinfeng was a well-deserved chief peace negotiator.

She has been involved in secret court battles, but she still keeps Empress Dowager Sheng from throwing her out, and continues to mess around in the Shangxiang Bureau through the peace talks... Master Ji Daxiang's fighting methods are really extraordinary!
I don't know why she stumbled, was caught in the pigtails, and was almost pulled down.

"Then, since Master Ji Daxiang is still staying in Shangxiang Bureau, why do you say that Master Ji's family is going to be in trouble?"

Lin Qingyang smiled and said: "Because... the peace talks this time are thankless."

The matter is very important, he didn't continue to explain it thoroughly, he just asked Gan Tiantian to go back and think about it.Next, he admired Gan Tiantian's series of actions after he left, especially Lin Qingyang was very clear that he had not left any tricks for Gan Tiantian, but she was able to rely on her own strength to burn down the warehouse of Ji's family and shake off the A pile of black materials, which gave Lin Qingyang a new understanding of her energy.

Therefore, Lin Qingyang finally confessed to her that he would come back at work tomorrow, and he still had something to discuss with her in detail.

And... why don't you finish it in one breath?

Well, I guess I'll wait until I go back to "think about it" and figure out the inside story of Ji Jinfeng's "thankless effort" before giving myself new orders, right?

I said...you are my master, right?I have done the apprentice ceremony, right?
You don't even ask me whether I have practiced fragrance mixing these days...

You really use me as a conspirator, this is not the correct way to open it!

"Xiao Ji, you must know why she is so thankless, right?"

Back in his room, Gan Tiantian couldn't wait to call Ji Bingyun out.

Ji Bingyun's face was gloomy, and she couldn't make a sound. The atmosphere in the room seemed to be colder than usual.

Huh?what happened to him?
