Chapter 373: A Dead End

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve again. A heavy snow fell on Kaifeng Prefecture, and the road conditions that were already poor became worse. Although the snow would be cleaned up soon, many of the originally bumpy roads now have ice and will slip if you accidentally.

However, even such poor road conditions cannot stop people from going out to play and purchase when the New Year is approaching.

The streets and alleys in Kaifeng Prefecture City are full of crowds of scenes, and the sound of hawking is coming one after another. There are also various snack stalls. Today's business is very prosperous, with an attractive fragrance floating everywhere on the streets.

Ji Yi walked alone on the bustling and incredible Panlou Street, but could not feel even the festive atmosphere of New Year's Eve. Instead, she felt like walking on thin ice. What he stepped on under his feet seemed not solid ground, but thin ice on the Yellow River. If he was not careful, he would break the thin ice and fall into the cold river water, and he could never climb up again.

No, he is not walking on the ice that may break at any time now, but is walking on such an ice that will break at any time.

Moreover, I can no longer look back! Moreover, I have heard the sound of the ice surface shattering...

Speaking of which, Ji Yi asked for such a dilemma today. Who asked him to be an official so much, who made him sharpen his head and climb up, and who made him try his best to curry favor with Prime Minister Zhang Dun?

Well, it should be a good thing to be an official to be a prime minister... I don’t know how many officials in the Song Dynasty want to be a flatterer but cannot. If it weren’t for Ji Yi, he would really be able to do things and flatter him, and his moral articles were first-class. Zhang Dun didn’t look down on him at all, let alone betrothing his granddaughter to him.

This is the grandson-in-law of a high-ranking official! Anyone who has such an opportunity as soon as he enters the officialdom is simply opening up the halo of the protagonist.

But who knew that Zhang Dun, who was at the peak of his life and Ji Yi, who was wearing the halo of the protagonist, would suddenly be placed on the ice-filled river surface by the official Zhao Xu?

This is a dispute over the reserve!

This is the most dangerous and cruel thing in politics!

Although there was a ancestral teaching in the Song Dynasty that he would not kill scholars and officials, how much difference is it between being demoted to the ends of the world and being beheaded for a lifetime?

What made Ji Yi even more crying was that he was completely forced to get involved in this dispute, and he had to stand against the opposite of King Duan Zhao Ji who valued him very much.

In order to curry favor with Zhao Ji, the money he spent could pile up. How great is it to let Zhao Ji be the emperor! Zhang Dun only has a hero who decides to make decisions. Although Empress Dowager Xiang doesn't like Zhang Dun, he has a good deed to keep his decisions. The ugly thing about Zhang Dun is to "invite the county" - this is a "invite the county" who can come back at any time and become the prime minister. The popular gangs in the officialdom will not disperse, and they can still support themselves. In addition, the new emperor Zhao Ji's value will most likely be the prime minister in the future.

But now... it is risky that you flatter and have a bad reputation!

Zhang Dun was obviously determined to fulfill Zhao Xu's "last wish" of the official Zhao Xu, and it was certain that Empress Dowager Xiang supported Prince Duan. It would be fine if it weren't for Concubine Zhu, but Concubine Zhu was still in Shengduan Palace now! If her two sons became emperors one after another, then wouldn't the concubine be replaced by the Empress Dowager? At that time, Empress Dowager Xiang would even share the status of the late emperor's official wife with others, so why wouldn't she be furious?

That's the empress dowager! The emperor is gone and she is the biggest. The entire Kaifeng Prefecture will support her. Zhang Dun's prime minister looks prestige on the surface, but in fact, the emperor lends power to him, so that he can be prestige. He has no soldiers and soldiers in Kaifeng Prefecture...

If the Empress Dowager breaks up and fights, even if she deceives King Duan out of the mansion, wouldn’t there be three brothers, King Shen, King Yan, and King Mu? Can’t the Empress Dowager just choose one of them to be the emperor?

At that time, Empress Dowager Xiang may not be too strict with Zhang Dun, but he will definitely be unlucky... He will seize the text since his origin and write to Danzhou (Hainan Island). He will never be able to escape the punishment he will never use.

In this life, you have to live in the ends of the world where birds do not shit.

So is it okay to sell Zhang Duan to join Duan Wang?

When Ji Yi thought of this, tears were almost shedding.

The emperor is not dead yet!

As long as the emperor's tone is not stopped, everything in Kaifeng Prefecture is under control. If he knew that he had betrayed Zhang Dun and wanted to pass the imperial examination and pass the imperial examination? I was afraid that he would be arrested immediately and would be sent to the Wutai Prison (Censor Prison). If he could not pass the first month, he would have to "take up his writing since his origin, and be in charge of Danzhou (Hainan Island), and never use it."... This is all light, maybe he would just get a little crane red in the Wutai Prison for savoring it!

If you don’t kill scholars and officials, you cannot be clear about the law and punishment of public killing and assassination... Who knows?

Moreover, as long as Ji Yi betrays her, she will definitely be relieved.

Because only Zhang Dun, Zhang Yuan and Ji Yi knew about this matter outside the palace. Moreover, the people who heard the whole story of the official family and Empress Liu were all the confidants of the official family and Empress Liu. If Empress Dowager Xiang suddenly became prepared, then there was no doubt that the traitor was Ji Yi. He immediately caught him and killed him, and even Empress Dowager Xiang could not save him.

In other words, following Zhang Dun, seven out of ten are going to Danzhou to have this restless life.

If you rebel... you will be killed in the Censorate Prison.

Anyway, it's over!

After studying hard, racking my brains to flatter, and walking through the Liao Kingdom without fear of hardships, how could it end like this?

Daming Zun, why don’t you bless me?

Ji Yi, who was a little disappointed, turned into a slightly secluded alley at this time, and Niang Mo's new home was in this alley.

After somehow, Mo Madam, who was involved in Wu Haogu, suddenly made a fortune and bought a house in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture... Ji Yi, who was studying hard at home, was also surprised when she heard about this. Because Mo Madam was not buying a dilapidated house, but a very delicate mansion with a yard, near East Cross Street. As far as Ji Yi knew, such a house could not be taken down without 40,000 or 50,000 yuan...

How long has this woman been following Wu Haogu? She bought such a house. Is Wu Haogu the reincarnation of the God of Wealth?

Oh, no, no. Ji Yi thought to himself: I am a Mingzun, so I don’t believe in reincarnation, nor is there any God of Wealth, only two gods, Damingzun and Dark Demon King...

While he was thinking about it, the door of the small yard where Madam Mo lived was suddenly opened. He saw Madam Mo wearing a fur cloak coming out of it with a shoulder bag, looking like he was about to go out.

"Hey, why are the great officials here?"

Madam Mo obviously didn't expect Ji Yi to come to her home on New Year's Eve. Oh, if it were in previous years, it would be different this year. It's almost twenty days before it will be the spring exam. The Ministry of Rites of the Song Dynasty was on the 20th day of the first lunar month. At this moment, Ji Yi should be hanging her beams and cones at home, so why did she come out to play?

"Oh, Master, what's wrong with you? Is it an old lady..."

At this time, when Madam Mo saw Ji Yi's face, she looked like her parents were dead, she immediately wondered if the old lady of the Ji family who lived in Pingjiang Jun had something wrong. If Ji Yi's mother was gone, then he would have to be Dingyou, so naturally he could not take the imperial examination...

Ji Yi shook her head and said, "It's okay, she's pretty good."

In fact, the old lady of the Ji family is not old at all. Ji Yi, who was born at the age of fifteen, is only in her early forties this year and has always been pampered. She looks like she is thirty years old. She stands with Ji Yi like her sister, so Ji Daguan is still too early to leave Ding You.

"Then you are..."

Ji Yi smiled bitterly, without answering, just asked: "Madam Mo, where are you going?"

"Go to the Wu family's mansion." Mo said, "Today is New Year's Eve, I'll go to have the New Year's Eve banquet."

By the way, now Madam Mo is serving as a manager for Wu Haogu's Christie's business. Ji Yi remembered it and sighed: "I have something to discuss with you, so let's talk while walking."

"OK."

Madam Mo responded and went out with Ji Yi.

"Do you still remember the post "Bizhitu"?"

"Remember, that's your family heirloom." Madam Mo smiled, "I just don't know the authenticity. Do you want to invite the Mi family and son to see it? Then you have to be careful and don't let them transfer the bag."

"I want to sell "Bizhitu"."

"What's the point?" Mo Madam stopped when she heard this, stared at Ji Yi with wide eyes, "Is there something wrong with your business?"

That is Mrs. Wei’s "Bichengtu"!

Mrs. Wei was a master of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, so she learned Wang Xizhi’s calligraphy! You can imagine how valuable her real-written calligraphy is.

What Mo Niangzi said about "not knowing the authenticity" means not knowing whether the "Bizhentu" hidden in the Ji family was the original work of Mrs. Wei or written by Wang Xizhi, the name of Mrs. Wei.

In short, this copybook is either Mrs. Wei’s or Wang Xizhi’s, and it is definitely a priceless treasure!

There is no doubt that you can get it at Christie's and sing hundreds of thousands of pieces!

Ji Yi is willing to sell such a treasure, and there is no doubt that she urgently needs money and a huge turnover.

If it weren't for the Ji family's business, what else could it be?

Ji Yi was about to deny it, but suddenly realized that she couldn't tell Mo Niangzi clearly. Mo Niangzi is now a man from Wu Haogu, and Wu Haogu and Zhao Ji have a very good relationship. You must know that he is plotting against Zhao Ji, so why don't he report it immediately? Then he will have to celebrate the Lantern Festival with the crane red...

"Yes!" Ji Yi said, "My fleet encountered storms and all sank, and they lost millions..."

"All of them are sunk?" Mo Niang looked at Ji Yi with disbelief. The Ji family has been a maritime businessman for hundreds of years and has always been a "team navigation" and has operated more than one route. How could it be sunk?
