Chapter 786

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice: "I will let someone investigate this matter. If it is true, it will naturally be handled impartially."

With the emperor's words, Luo Yechen was immediately happy.

He knew that Jing Feng would definitely not be good this time!

Then he talked to the imperial concubine about the talk book contest.

"I've had people put up notices at the gates of bookstores in the city. Anyone who goes to buy books should be able to see those notices."

Xiao Xixi suggested, "Your Highness can also hire someone to advertise."

Luo Yechen: "What is an advertisement?"

Xiao Xixi: "It means to advertise widely. Places like the West Market, teahouses and restaurants, where people come and go, are the most suitable for advertising."

Given the high cost of printing these days, she suggested word of mouth.

For example, hire some people to spread the word about the contest by shouting slogans and making up jingles.

As long as there are more people who know it, more people will come to the competition.

Luo Yechen touched his chin and nodded, apparently thinking this was a good idea.

According to Xiao Xixi's idea, it would be enough to hire a dozen people to advertise.

As a result, the King of England waved his hand and directly hired 300 people.

These 300 people were divided into regions and spread all over Shengjing. They worked so hard to advertise the Huaben Contest, their throats were almost screaming for splits.

Originally, only those who often went to bookstores to buy books knew about the book contest, but it was so publicized that in just one night, the whole city knew about it.

This year's entertainment programs are very limited, and everyone is looking forward to the appearance of such a storybook contest at first.

At the same time, a big incident happened to the Jing family.

Jing Feng was arrested!

The day he was arrested was the eighth day of the first lunar month. He was with his father receiving relatives who came to pay New Year's greetings at his home when he was tied up by the soldiers of the Jingzhao Prefecture who rushed in.

No matter how hard and soft the Jing family was, the government soldiers refused to let them go, and directly put Jing Feng in the Jingzhao Palace prison.

The head of the Jing family is in his seventies this year. When Emperor Sheng Yong was still on the throne, he was the grandfather. Now that Luo Qinghan is the emperor, the old lady has wisely resigned.

Now he has a vacant post in the Imperial Household Guard, and he rarely intervenes in the affairs of the DPRK.

In order to save his grandson, the old man had to put on the official uniform that he had not worn for a long time, and went to Jingzhao Mansion in person.

Mei Guangtao had long guessed that the Jing family would not allow Jing Feng to be arrested, and was not surprised at the visit of Mr. Jing.

He respectfully invited the old man to sit in the warm pavilion, told the story of the case from beginning to end, and took out the criminal evidence and the confession of the prisoner for the old man Jing to look over one by one.

The witnesses are conclusive.

Jing Feng is the mastermind behind the theft.

The King of England has a clear attitude, not willing to be private, and insists on handling it impartially.

Mei Guangtao said with a bitter face.

"It's not that the lower officials don't give you face, it's really that the King of England can't explain it.

You should know what kind of temperament the King of England is.

If Xiaguan really released Jingfeng, and turned back to King Ying to sue the emperor, Xiaguan might not be able to keep the black hat!

Or...you go to the king to discuss it?

As long as the King of England relaxes, it will be easy. "

Mr. Jing has been immersed in the officialdom for many years, and he is very clear in his heart that this is a resignation from the governor of Mei.

If it was to be replaced by Emperor Sheng Yong, who was the imperial master and the teacher of the emperor, the Governor of Mei would definitely not dare not sell his face.

But now Emperor Sheng Yong is gone, and he is no longer Taifu.

One emperor and one courtier.

Grandpa Jing sighed in his heart.

He was leaning on crutches and slowly left Jingzhao Mansion with the help of his entourage.

Although he knew that King Ying would definitely not let go easily, but for the sake of his grandson, Mr. Jing bravely went to King Ying's mansion.

The result, of course, was disappointment.

The British king and his wife didn't even show their faces, and they directly asked the housekeeper to send them away.

There was no other way. In the end, Mr. Jing had to let his second daughter-in-law enter the palace to beg to see Concubine Jing, hoping that she could help save her brother.

It was rare for Concubine Jing to see her mother's family, but she didn't expect to hear that her younger brother was arrested by Jingzhao Mansion as soon as they met.

She was shocked and anxious, and quickly asked why.

Mrs. Jing wiped her tears and sighed.

"It was your brother who quarreled with the King of England, and the two were at odds.

Last time, your brother was beaten. He suspected that the King of England had ordered him to do it. He was unable to seek justice for himself because he had no evidence.

He couldn't help but feel depressed, so he wanted someone to make fun of the King of England.

Unexpectedly, it angered the King of England and alarmed the government.

Your younger brother was taken away by the soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion.

Your grandfather begged for help everywhere, but failed to save your brother.

We really have no choice but to beg you.

You can save your brother! "

Concubine Jing frowned: "Brother, how did he make fun of King Ying?"

Mrs. Jing Er: "It's just that someone stole a jade pendant from him, and that jade pendant has already been sent back to him."

Concubine Jing was suspicious: "It's really just like this?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can ask someone to investigate. The Jingzhao House has a record on this matter, so why should I lie to you?"

Seeing that her remarks were firm and did not seem to be false, Concubine Jing believed it.

Concubine Jing comforted her mother a lot, and reassured her that she would find a way to rescue her younger brother, which was how she stabilized her.

After sending Mrs. Jing away, Concubine Jing pondered for a while in the room alone.

She was in the harem and didn't know much about the outside world. She didn't know how deep the conflict between Jing Feng and King Ying was.

But it's just a jade pendant, and it's been returned, so it shouldn't be a big problem.

Take a step back.

Even if Jing Feng really did other bad things, she couldn't ignore Jing Feng.

After all, she is such a younger brother, and she will have to rely on him for help when she encounters something in the future.

Concubine Jing stood up and let someone wait for her to get dressed.

Dong Ling asked cautiously.

"Is Niangniang going to beg to see the emperor?"

Concubine Jing said, "No, this palace is going to see the imperial concubine."

She knows very well that she is not favored now, and even if she asks the emperor, the emperor will not pay attention to her.

If the emperor is in a bad mood, maybe she will be charged with interfering in the harem.

She didn't want to make fun of herself.

On the Concubine's side, it was different. She was just a foreign princess. She had no foundation in the Dasheng Dynasty. The only thing she could rely on was the emperor's favor.

But how long can the emperor's favor last?

In the future, when the grace of her old age is gone, how will she handle herself?

These are the weaknesses of the imperial concubine.

If the imperial concubine wanted to live in this harem for a long time, she had to leave a few more ways for herself.

For example, make good friends.

Concubine Jing dressed appropriately, brought the New Year's gift, and took the carriage to Yunxiu Palace.

But what she didn't expect was.

The imperial concubine was not in the palace at all.

After asking, I found out that the imperial concubine actually went out and could not come back for a while.

Concubine Jing was reluctant to return empty-handed.

She decided to stay in the Yunxiu Palace and wait for the imperial concubine to return.
