Chapter 290: Means of Competing for Favor
Liang Xinming said: "There is an old woman next door to him. β
Jing Kangdi said: "Can you still pick out eggs?"
Liang Xinming nodded and said, "You can pick it!"
At that time, she also felt incredible, this is a very high technical work, you have to understand the habits and life rules of the hen for a long time.
Emperor Jing Kang laughed fiercely and praised: "Liang Qing is really the parent official of the people, and even the case of a few eggs is so bothered, no matter how big or small, it is too intimate." β
Liang Xinming shook his head and said: "Weichen is ashamed and doesn't dare to praise the emperor." β
Emperor Jing Kang said: "Aiqing doesn't have to be modest, he deserves it!"
Liang Xinming sighed: "Your Majesty, this man's daughter-in-law died when she gave birth, leaving behind a milk baby, the old lady is blind, the family is poor, and she relies on steamed egg custard to feed the milk doll." A few eggs are a trivial matter in ordinary people's homes, but in his family, it is a major matter of human life. When Weichen went to his house to investigate the case, he found that the child was so hungry that he was dying of death. The emperor said, is the matter of these eggs still a trivial matter?
Jing Kangdi's smile froze, and his heart was blocked.
"It's not a small thing, it's a big thing!"
"Yes, there is no small matter for the people!"
"It's pathetic. How can the one next door bear to steal?"
Dong Guifei's eyes were red on the spot and she wiped her tears.
Emperor Jing Kang asked again: "How did Liang Qing judge?"
Liang Xinming said: "The old woman next door was sentenced to compensate for the child's nutrition expenses, and fined: she stole a total of 30 eggs, and Weichen sentenced her to compensate for 100 eggs, which will be repaid in five months." To set an example!"
Emperor Jing Kang was stunned and said with a smile: "Good judgment!"
β¦β¦
The monarchs and ministers talked about the lives of the common people on the "Heavenly Palace", and all kinds of sighs and feelings, Emperor Jing Kang's interest was undiminished, and he forgot the time.
Dong Guifei has been in the palace for several years, and she knows the emperor's heart very well, and when she heard Liang Xinming say how well the garden of Li Shan's family is served, how sweet the watermelon is, and how fragrant the fried broad beans are, the emperor listened to it very devotedly, as if she was very greedy, and said: "Your Majesty, the concubine also wants to grow vegetables and try it." Serving flowers and plants is pleasant and nourishing, so it is better to plant some fruits and vegetables. First, you can understand the suffering of the people, and second, you can grow your own food, which must be sweeter. β
Emperor Jing Kangdi's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "Since the concubine has this idea, she will plant it at the beginning of spring." Which one is better? β
Dong Guifei came up with an idea: "In the palace of the concubines, dig up the flower garden behind the palace, and don't spoil the flowers, put them in flower pots, and put them on the edge of the vegetable field when the time comes." There are flowers and vegetables, which complement each other!"
Jing Kangdi hurriedly said: "Okay! That's it. Let the eunuchs and palace maids help, don't be tired. I'll go over and take a look when I have time. β
Concubine Dong Guifei smiled and said, "Don't worry, the emperor, wait until the planting is up, and then ask the emperor to come over." Since the concubines have started, they have to build this vegetable garden, so that the emperor can see the life of the people with his own eyes and experience the hardships of the people's livelihood. β
Emperor Jing Kang patted the concubine's hand and said, "I still love the concubine and understands me!"
Liang Xinming watched in amazement: she has seen the means of competing for favor in this deep palace. She didn't think that Dong Guifei was really interested in growing vegetables, but if the emperor was interested, Dong Guifei would study seriously. "Sex is a matter of people, and love is relaxed by color decay". This Dong Guifei is a smart person and knows how to do it. If she grows this dish, and thus attracts the emperor to come over often and respect her, this matter will definitely become a model for the concubines of the deep palace to compete for favor. It is recorded in history that the inventor of silkworm weaving cloth is the emperor's concubine and ancestor, what is it for Dong Guifei to grow a vegetable!
Dong Guifei accepted it when she saw it, got up and said: "The emperor and Liang County Ling are talking about big things, and the concubines will not bother, go and see how the dinner is prepared." β
Jing Kangdi said: "I love the concubine hard." β
β¦β¦
Liang Xinming had dinner in Xiangxuehai before leaving the palace.
Emperor Jing Kangdi said that he would recruit her into the palace in two days.
When parting, Liang Xinming asked about Wang Heng.
Emperor Jing Kang said that Wang Heng still had something to do and had not returned to Beijing for the time being, and Zhao Yin came back first.
Liang Xinming saw that he refused to say the details, so he had to leave the palace in an anxious mood, and wait until tomorrow to visit the old lady at Wang's house, and then inquire carefully.
That night, Emperor Jing Kang went to the palace of Concubine Dong.
After Wu Guiren heard about this, he was resentful: her father was a secretary of the ministry, and he was thoughtful to the Wang family and Liang Xinming. Liang Xinming did not come to flatter her, but instead said good things for Dong Guifei! Dong Guifei regained her favor, and she will be in danger.
Wu Ci remembered Meng Qingquan's words, "When you enter the palace, you will find that many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface", and suddenly understood her a little.
Wu Ci felt that the situation was worrisome, and secretly thought of countermeasures.
Besides, Liang Xinming, after finalizing the major matter of road construction, he was bent on inquiring about Wang Heng's news. The next day, she went to visit Wang's house. The old lady and Mrs. Wang saw her and left her to eat at noon. Wang Jian also returned from the yamen and personally accompanied him.
After dinner, the two went to the study to drink tea and talk.
Regarding Wang Heng, Wang Jian did not disclose his whereabouts, but only said that it was safe and sound, so that Liang Xinming did not have to worry, and then asked her about building the road.
In the final analysis, he still doubts Liang Xinming's ability.
He asked, "Can you guarantee this project?"
Liang Xinming said: "Can't!"
Wang Jian almost jumped up when he said a word, but he had experienced a lot of wind and waves, so he forcibly suppressed it, and asked calmly: "Then why do you dare to accept the order?"
Liang Xinming said: "If you talk about road construction, the lower officials are not afraid, they are afraid that someone will destroy it." The teacher killed from the capital to Minzhou, and from Minzhou to Huzhou, offending too many people. They couldn't move the Wang family, so they all rushed to the lower officials. β
Her meaning was obvious: she wanted the king to protect her.
She is Wang Heng's protΓ©gΓ© on the surface, and secretly she is the daughter-in-law of the Wang family; she disguises herself as a man to participate in the imperial examination, and the origin also starts from the Wang family, and the father-in-law can't get rid of responsibility, and now the daughter-in-law has something to do, and the father-in-law doesn't contribute, who will help?
Ra is going to pull him into the water too!
Wang Ji is very keen in government affairs, don't you understand what Liang Xinming means!
He touched Liang Xinming's dark and expectant eyes, and felt a burst of shame - his son turned a good scholar who was as elegant as jade and the champion of "Sanyuan and No. 1" into a "male pet", creating evil!
The son commits iniquity, and Lao Tzu repays it!
He immediately promised: "You only need to build the road, and you don't have to worry about anything else." β
From now on, he will send people to keep an eye on Huizhou, just like he did last year to keep an eye on Huzhou. However, this involves the strength of the Wang family, and he doesn't want to say too much to Liang Xinming.
Liang Xinming said with satisfaction: "That's good." This project is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and it is necessary to bother Lord Shangshu to keep an eye on the subordinate officials, and all aspects can be accommodating in a timely manner. β
The king admonished: "You still need to say this!"
Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, "Do you know what happened to the death of Ma Rui, the prefect of Hanjiang Prefecture in Jingzhou, and Gao Ze, the commander of the Huzhou Forbidden Army?"
Liang Xinming was puzzled: "Who is Ma Rui?"
Wang Ji stared at her and asked, "You really don't know?"
Liang Xinming shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
- Know, don't tell you!
The second watch is coming, ask for a monthly pass!
