Chapter 13: Relatives and the Court
Before leaving, he went to resign from Li Chaozong, this time, he finally didn't pick my thorn again, but just instructed in a disgusted tone: "Go back and recuperate your body more, what can you do like this?" ”
I thought he cared and thanked him sincerely, but he finally didn't say anything.
I thought I should resign Zhang Ronghua, but halfway through it, I felt that I was troubled and shut up.
Li Chaozong said: "No. ”
As soon as the carriage left the palace, I let out a long breath.
Zhou Sinian asked, "Do you want to go to the princess's mansion to have a look?" ”
I shook my head, I don't want to see the princess's mansion again, what kind of princess am I like this, let alone a princess of Zhenguo.
He said: "Don't go, the princess's mansion, there is Lao Fu taking care of it, he is also an old man in the mansion, although some hands and feet are not clean, but since you like to use him, he should also have his benefits." ”
I heard a lot of disdain in his tone, and said, "You mean to say that you don't like this old man." ”
He smiled and said, "It's not that I don't look down on it, but I disdain it." ”
"What's wrong with him?"
"Embezzlement, false accounting, stealing," he said disdainfully, "and his only good is probably to make you happy." ”
"What do you mean?"
"Replace him," Zhou Sinian said, "I'll ask Lao Xu to find another good housekeeper for you." ”
When I heard this, I hurriedly refused: "No, it's not a big problem, how much money can the princess's mansion make him greedy." ”
"A thousand fiefdoms, my Highness. Are you going to use it to raise maggots? ”
I don't know how much money a thousand feuds can produce, but I just feel that I can't let Zhou Sinian insert everything in it, even my private small treasury.
"If you change someone, you won't necessarily be a maggot," I said, and I felt that I couldn't let Lao Fu be so greedy for my money in vain, so I said: "Let your old Xu, help me check Lao Fu's accounts, and then make a new charter, isn't it?" ”
Zhou Sinian smiled: "Do you think Lao Xu is a big idler?" He is the general manager of my Sun City capital territory, and he is also in charge of the affairs of our house, where is there any spare time to check the bad debts for you, you don't believe what I said, then when you have a dog, be careful, don't be bitten by him. ”
In the end, show the unswerving color.
I didn't want to quarrel with him, so I hurriedly diverted the topic: "Does Sun City have a lot of business?" ”
"The people of Sun City are thriving, so many people want to eat and live, where is that little bit of land? You can only go to Middle-earth. ”
"Speaking of which, you are an outsider, and you can still live in the third grade. It's a miracle. ”
He said: "I promised you back then, as long as you are willing to marry me, I will sacrifice the city and become a vassal, and I am no longer an outsider." ”
I laughed and said, "Is there such a thing? It turns out that your Sima was exchanged for Sun City, isn't it a real skill! ”
He said: "Whoever is Sima must have real ability? ”
"Sima is in charge of the military and politics, and if he has no real skills, won't the country be chaotic?"
"I think that the more high-ranking officials are, the better they should live freely, don't have so many skills."
I didn't think so, and said: "If you want to be free, how good it is to resign to the emperor and go home, and you are not short of money." ”
He said: "I really want to resign and return to the south, but the emperor wants me to be a photo." ”
His expression was calm, and he couldn't tell if he was happy. I said, "You don't seem to care about this aspect. ”
Zhou Sinian said: "How so? I care. ”
He said: "Do you know what the country has become now? ”
I shook my head, not thinking about it.
He stretched out his head and said to the coachman, "Go to the west of the city." ”
Standing on the hill on the west side of the capital, you can see a large area of fertile land, several farmers are farming, a good scenery of pastoral idyll.
I looked at him puzzled, thinking that he would not be so leisurely and elegant, and took me to see the scenery. Sure enough, he pointed to a large piece of land in front of him and said, "This land belongs to the Wucheng Hou Du family." ”
Walking through a hill, he said, "This piece belongs to the Wei family of the Duke of Wei," paused, and said, "That is, your uncle's house." ”
I laughed and said, "I didn't know I had such a prominent uncle!" Zhou Sinian was expressionless, and said sternly: "The rich have no place to stand, and the poor have no place to stand." Your uncle relied on himself to be the queen's mother, and he took advantage of it and overstepped the system. The reuse of greedy officials and the reckless punishment and killing caused the people's resentment to boil, flee the mountains and forests, and turn into thieves. ”
I looked at his stern appearance and said timidly: "What about Wu Chenghou?" "Wu Chenghou is the nephew of Empress Dowager Du." Zhou Sinian said, "These relatives are so strong that even your Li royal family has to give three points." ”
"The Wei family is my uncle's family, what about the Du family?"
Zhou Sinian smiled helplessly: "You don't even remember these two relatives of yours?" Your mother is the niece of Empress Dowager Du. You and your cousins are better than brothers. ”
I was immediately intrigued and asked, "When will I see them?" ”
Zhou Sinian said with a smile: "I will definitely see it in the future, this Wei family and the Du family, in the third generation, people are prosperous, I'm afraid you won't be able to tell who is who by then." ”
I was puzzled and said, "Then why is my father only one child?" ”
"The Father's Empress Palace is very chaotic, and Empress Wei is very powerful." Zhou Sinian sighed and said, "My father is the most merciful person, and there are always some petty people who are merciful to bully him." ”
I didn't understand what he said, and said, "Can you explain it clearly, what harem is messy?" The queen's power is the biggest in the harem. ”
"That's why the harem concubines formed a party, some of them took refuge in the queen, and some of them opposed the queen."
"The emperor wouldn't let his father's concubines be buried because of this, right?"
"There are few of your father's concubines who are alive, and none of those who survive should not die."
"So, what about the Lady Liz?"
"I don't know, Licai's status is too low, maybe she is really an accident." He turned back to me and smiled, "Maybe you really did a good thing this time." ”
