Chapter 403: Confession and leniency

After the fourth master finished approving the book in his hand, he got up and walked around the house. The hall is shady, and the sun outside the hall shines on the front steps of the hall and is white, making people seem to be able to see the rolling heat wave.

He took a sip of the sour plum soup, the mellow taste, quenching his thirst.

In the past, he drank a lot of tea in summer, and the tea room was always stocked with Biluochun, Longjing, Yunwu, etc. But after eating and drinking with vegetarian for a long time, many habits have been affected by her. Just like the sour plum soup that this woman and children only drink, he feels delicious when he drinks it now.

Thinking of Su Su, he couldn't help but turn his head and ask Su Peisheng: "Where is the concubine?" ”

Li Wei is still in peace with Wanfang. When the fourth master came in, she was changing Hongyun's belly pocket. The hall was too shady, and Mama Liu and Bai Shizhou both said that it was best not to put Hongyun's bed in the depths of the palace because of greed.

So Hongyun's bed is still next to the window. In addition, the sun at this time did not dare to pose an iceberg next to him, so Hongyun sweated one after another.

Li Wei made him more than a dozen belly pockets, and changed them as soon as he touched the tide.

The fourth master came to see Hongyun being touched by Eniang's belly, giggling itchyly, waving and kicking with his little hands and feet.

After a while of playing, the kid yawned. The little one is in the middle of a sleep, an inch long. The fourth master and Li Wei just looked at it, his eyelids slowly closed, and he soon fell asleep.

The fourth master sat down and said, "Sleep so fast." "It's the same as his mother.

Li Wei kissed Hongyun's little belly: "Children." "The little baby lies there, and it has an aura of happiness on it. Except for the real villains, everyone else will laugh unconsciously when they see the little baby.

The fourth master quietly walked behind her and hugged her, and asked her softly, "Why didn't Su Su ask me about this journey?" ”

She looked at his expression as if she wanted her to ask, so she thought for a while and said, "Nothing happened along the way, right?" But it should have gone well, because the two corresponded every day, and in the days since his return, they have talked a lot about the letters, and have seen so many very memorable gifts he has received.

So, she didn't think there was anything more to ask.

The fourth master hugged her and looked at Hongyun together, and said softly: "I have been waiting for Su Su to ask, does Su Su want me to confess and be lenient?" He made a sudden joke that startled her.

'Confess leniently, resist strictly' was that he was angry about Jiang Chenxi's affairs at that time, and he couldn't figure out that a second-grade magistrate dared to be so bold, so what else did they dare not do? Do you dare to storm the capital to rebel one day?

Speaking of zuihou, he began to doubt himself, so Li Wei hurriedly said this to interrupt.

Because there is also a well-known continuation of this sentence: 'Confess leniently, sit in prison.' Resist strictness and go home for the New Year'.

She uses this to illustrate that people are all seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. The previous sentence of confession and leniency was also told to this lawbreaker first, and I will deal with you leniently if you say it. But it can only be used to coax outsiders, an insider like Jiang Chenxi, who is familiar with the doorway, may have just wanted to please himself a few times and then find some benefits for himself, but later when the incident happened, he knew that confession was a dead end, so he gritted his teeth and carried it to the end.

So it's not that you have a problem, but human nature.

Li Wei was frightened by him, and before he could react, he smiled and said seriously: "Then I will confess to Su Su, I am very busy along the way, I can't have half a minute free from morning to night, and I even have to take Su Peisheng to remind me of the calendar." Even if I stop every day, I have to be busy writing excerpts, and I have to go through three drums to rest every night, which is really hard. ”

She listened to this 'complaint', but he looked like a 'show of merit', and she understood it when she replaced it in her brain.

- But the stimulation of the fourth master's 'guarding himself like jade' is too great, and she can't believe it.

Even if the fourth master didn't say a word before leaving, she knew that the queen sent Guo and another concubine into the team of the southern tour before leaving, and asked them to wait for the fourth master.

Nian was not fortunate at the time, and there may have been a bit of providence. But along the way, she could only comfort herself with a closed eye.

Unexpectedly, he really didn't touch others to show her credit.

She seemed to see a naughty child who had just consciously studied and said to her mother, 'Mom, I haven't watched TV, played on the computer, or played games today, I've been doing my homework!' ’。

Li Wei touched his arm dryly, as a reward. But she's still in the state of 'you must be kidding me'. can think that the fourth master is not the kind of person who lies, he doesn't say a word at most, and it is impossible to make up a lie to her.

The fourth master seemed to be aroused, and the two of them went to the outhouse to sit down and talk, and he complained about the southern tour of the road.

Whether the people kneel down on the royal road and kowtow to give gifts and ask for words, or spontaneously organize welcome activities, even if they encounter such an embarrassment as giving him a beautiful girl from their own village, the landlord's house, or the squire's family, the fourth master can laugh at it.

Simple people who have never read a book are rare to have this heart.

But if the officials who met the road also knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the emperor to give him a word, and offering his daughter to show their loyalty, the fourth master would never be happy.

In fact, he was almost stupid.

He said: "I have seen not a hundred or eighty along the way, but one out of ten is loyal to the king, and even one or two omissions can be tolerated." But all of them want to fool me away, this is playing me like a fool! ”

He once had a record of stopping for one night to meet more than 20 people in a row, and before that, he had to go through the man's history to see what major events he had under his rule, and he had to send people to investigate in advance, so as not to make mistakes in the report, and so on.

And on the road, it is obvious that he can't be relaxed and leisurely, according to him, it is not for a moment.

Li Wei listened to it and felt that it was indeed difficult to find a free time when transportation and communication were underdeveloped in ancient times. The fourth master said that he didn't even have enough time to sleep and eat, and she absolutely believed this.

He was like this in Beijing, and his first southern tour after ascending the throne was also of greater political significance than anything else, and of course it was impossible for him to suddenly change his temper and become greedy for comfort and enjoyment after he went out.

At this moment, she has 'maybe what the fourth master said is true'. He really didn't touch any of them when he went out this time.

Although it was incredible, even she couldn't find a reason for him to find a lucky woman in such a dense schedule. Even if it's for venting.

In fact, she felt that the fourth master's sexual desire before Hongshi's birth became less intense. After ascending the throne, it was as if all his energy was focused on the government, and he spent more time facing her every day than facing her - absolutely.

In addition, he went from insisting on going to Ningshou Palace every day to ask for peace, to going to talk to the Queen Mother for three or five days. The rest of the time was spent in the Heart Cultivation Hall facing the people in the military plane.

Even when I was with her, I changed my writing after dinner to watch the excerpts.

The fourth master is a political animal, and the imperial power is the beauty that will always attract him.

In addition to the imperial power, he gave very little to others. She had a part of it, and it was no longer possible for a woman other than her to steal his attention.

Just like now, he couldn't be warm with her and began to complain about those officials again. The emperor's golden words are not appropriate for others to say, so she can listen to them.

Li Wei persuaded herself logically, and she listened to the fourth master complain with peace of mind about those officials who 'only make money'.

A few days later, Hongyu came to ask for An Shi and told her that the fourth master had dismissed more than 50 people before and after his trip, and some of them were just sent home, so that they could defend themselves or go home to be punished, and the other part was directly detained.

"Huang Ama told me, let me learn from Lord Muhelun." Hongyu was a little hesitant, and today the fourth master suddenly told him like this, which caught him off guard.

"Who is this man?" Li Wei knew that her son was seeking her opinion, but God knows who Mu Helun was? What for? The fourth master didn't mention it, and she couldn't remember it herself.

The only thing that is certain is that this person is not from the clan, and she has never seen this name on the gift list and invitation sign sent to Yongshou Palace.

Hongyu said: "Lord Mu Helun is the head of the household. ”

Li Wei was stunned, and Hongyu whispered worriedly: "Huang Ama may want me to go to the household department next year to study." ”

It seems that the prince's brother does not seem to be assigned any position in the sixth department, and he belongs to supernumerary personnel, but the power of the heavenly descent system is infinite. The fourth master had worked in both the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Household Affairs before, and the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the two Shangshu of the Ministry of Household at that time were all the only ones who looked to him.

Li Wei herself doesn't understand this, and she can only remind Hongyu that the fourth master has also worked in the household department, and the matter of Kangxi's last years of suppressing the debt to the household bank is still unsettled. After you go there, you look more, ask less, and interfere less, and I think the fourth master doesn't plan to let Hongyu get an errand as soon as he goes.

Hongyu said that he would definitely learn from Master Muhelun.

Two days after saying this, Lord Muhelun dismounted. The new one to power is Sun Zaji.

I heard that Lord Mu Helun was demoted by the fourth master because of economic problems, and he didn't care about these for the time being, so Hongyu asked Fu Chi to find out how Lord Mu Helun's door was, and now he had to quickly change people.

In the blink of an eye, it's the gold festival again. A few days earlier, Li Wei asked the fourth master if he wanted to return to the palace a few days earlier, and he said: "Just one day in advance, and we will come out to live then." ”

In previous years, I had to go back to the palace anyway before the gold festival, because it was followed by the Wanshou Festival.

"Still coming out?" She said. Not suitable, right?

The fourth master pulled her against his body and said, "This year's holy birthday, I don't want to make a big deal." ”

Is it that the southern tour spends too much money?

She guessed so, and the fourth master said: "I will only tell you about this first, and then I will reveal it during the festival." ”

Saying 'thorough' means that he wants to test the attitude of the government and the opposition towards the Shengshou Jianban. Now the fourth master, the emperor, is becoming more and more refined, and he is becoming more and more cautious.
