Chapter 788: Extras (12)
Yu Shu entered the Taixi Building.
This is the official residence of the great mention point of the past dynasties, located in the north direction of the pattern of the nine palaces of the Si Tianjian, occupying the position, and the Zongzheng Division is adjacent to the east. The independent courtyard, surrounded by bamboo forests, has a quiet environment, there is a pool of living water in the garden, the building is located in the middle of the lake, and only a nine-curved bridge can reach the opposite bank.
After Zhu Muzhao stepped down, he moved his personal belongings out of the building, Yu Shu walked into the slightly empty hall alone, looked at this place with a different mood, and his eyes fell on the treasure chair in the carved jade steps.
Yesterday, she just received the holy decree, the Huiji Division is rushing to make her court clothes and official clothes, she is still wearing the silver gauze robe of the Sanpin Right Commander at this time, and the Beidou Star Palace is embroidered on her shoulders.
There is a sentence "The flower on the other side, blooming on the other side, only seeing the flowers, not the leaves, and the birth is wrong", that is, this Manzhu Sawa blooms on the bank of the Lechuan River in the underworld, implying reincarnation and death. However, it is a symbol personally chosen by Empress Ning Zhen, representing the woman who stands tallest above the court.
Yu Shu took a turn in the Taixi Building, very satisfied with her new territory. She tried the chair, but it was uncomfortable to sit on, and she was thinking about bringing a cushion to cover it tomorrow, when the guard outside informed her that someone had come.
Xin Ya led a knife and pen officer in, and when she saw Yu Shu sitting on the treasure chair, her eyes flickered slightly, and she stepped forward to salute with a smile, and then explained her intentions.
"Taishu will live here for a long time in the future, and he must not live uncomfortably. Look at what's missing in this building. If you need to add something, mention it and write it down, and rearrange it as much as possible. ”
The Hui Ji Division is in charge of the property, and the annual tax revenue of the Great Easy Pavilion across the country alone is a huge amount. It can be said that it is rich and oily. Xinya is a shrewd person. Knowing the current affairs, Yu Shu has just sat in this position, and the level of means is not clear. The group of people below watched quietly, but he was the first to take the initiative to come up and offer his courtesy.
Yu Shu smiled faintly: "It's a little deserted here, I don't like it very much, you can watch and clean it up." After speaking, he didn't care about him, picked up the file sent by Soshoji on the table yesterday and looked at it. She didn't treat Xin Ya as an elder because of her relationship with Xin Liu, sitting here, she just needed to remember that she was the big mention of Si Tianjian.
Xin Ya agreed, asked her, then walked around the hall, went up to the second floor to look, and stopped from time to time to let the entourage record: "The color of the curtain is too dark, change eight pieces of lake blue pile brocade, eight pieces of purple silk." ”
"The screens here have also been replaced, and the glass shelves have been used to write them down."
"Add six more turtle-backed crane mahogany lampstands, two black gold beast head smokers, and a pair of azure glazed fishing amphorae"
"It's about to be winter, there are four sets of soft bedding and pillows, and don't forget to write down the chair support."
After he ran back and forth, he almost changed the furnishings of Taixi Building inside and out, and then he was satisfied and took people away. Soon after he left, Ren Shaojian came to visit several officials of Zong Zhengsi, Yu Shu is now the chief of Zong Zhengsi, Ren Qiming naturally became her deputy, he is a talent trained by Zhu Muzhao, pragmatic and capable, and loyal, originally the most promising person to inherit Zhu Muzhao's mantle, but unfortunately killed one of her halfway.
Not to mention that there is still some suspicion between Ren Qiming and Yu Shu, earlier he lynched her and broke off one of her little fingers, plus his wife Ren Ruishi was talking about her strength behind her back, although it was not a grudge, but it was also a grudge.
Yu Shu has long understood the functions and powers of the Zongzheng Division, and it can be said that the power of the Si Tianjian is concentrated in this division-from presiding over royal sacrifices, writing the imperial genealogy, taking charge of the clan register, and rewarding and punishing the clan, to recording the clan's children's descendants, heirs, titles, and formulating titles.
Take King Ning as an example, when he was in charge of the country, it was the most beautiful time, Kong Qi sued the royal court to accuse him of murdering the ten princesses, at that time the emperor was recuperating in Huazhen Garden and ignoring the government, Dali Temple did not dare to take this case, Zong Zhengsi dared to take it all by hand, saying that if you are guilty of King Ning, you are guilty, and if you are imprisoned, you will be imprisoned, without ambiguity at all.
Ren Qiming led someone to report to Yu Shu about Zong Zhengsi's recent affairs, and he was very disciplined at a glance, Yu Shu could see that he was not convinced that she was sitting in this position, but because this was Zhu Muzhao's decision, he would obey. So after talking about business, he left him and let everyone else retreat.
"I wonder what other instructions are there for the big mention?" Ren Qiming did not call her "Taishu", in his eyes, she was not worthy of this honorific title.
Yu Shu raised her eyebrows and smiled, turned sideways and changed to a comfortable sitting position, holding her chin with one hand, resting on the white jade desk with the other, her slender and long fingers tapped the table flexibly, she looked at him for a moment, and asked unhurriedly:
"How many years has Young Eunuch Ren been in Si Tianjian?"
Ren Qiming bowed his head and said, "Xiaguan has been in Zhaoqing for three years. ”
"It's been twelve years," Yu Shu sighed, "It's only enough for you a fraction of the time." "She was admitted to the Heavenly Prison in July last year, and it has only been less than one year and three months.
Ren Qiming said with a wooden face: "Then you are really on the rise, and your official fortune is prosperous." ”
This is not a compliment, Yu Shu smiled, and asked in a casual tone: "Then do you know, why did I sit in this position?" ”
When Ren Qiming heard this, he glanced up at her, his mind changed sharply, and said, "The lower officials don't dare to criticize." ”
Yu Shu put away his smile, looked at him coldly and said, "You don't dare to criticize, it's not that there is no criticism." Presumably you know very well, because I am a lifebreaker, Zhu Gong looked at me differently and asked me to take over the Tianjian Prison, precisely because only I have the hope of finding the "Xuannu Liuren Book" and keeping the foundation of Da'an. Since you know this, you should know that no one can sit in this position except me, I don't care what you think in your heart, I only warn you once, and I only give you this chance, either you win my trust, or, I will find someone to replace you. ”
The implication is to sue him: Either obey me or get out.
Ren Qiming's body stiffened, clenched his teeth, and he felt ashamed at first, but he quickly calmed down when he met her domineering eyes. When he reaches middle age, he has already passed the age of being self-willed, and if he had been left ten years ago and heard someone talk to him like this, he would definitely turn around and leave. But now, he chewed her cold words repeatedly, and gradually sweated on his back.
No one knows better than him how much power Yu Shu, a young woman, has in her hands, not to mention her reputation and ability, the previous generation mentioned that Zhu Muzhao handed over the command of the black-clothed guard to her, and she is the only person in the world who has learned the "Taigu Divine Lesson" other than Zhu Muzhao, Emperor Chongzhen favors her, and the current queen also has a close relationship with her. As she said, no one can hold this position except her.
From this point of view, her threats to find someone to replace him were not just words. However, he knew too many court secrets, each of which was enough to be fatal, if he left Si Tianjian like this, she would not let him go, and the emperor would not let him go, and in the end it was just a whole corpse.
Ren Qiming was depressed and dissatisfied for a few months, and suddenly figured it out at this moment, he had no other choice, either to live or to die.
"It turned out that the lower officials were confused," he glanced at Yu Shu deeply, his clenched fists quietly loosened, and he bent his knees on the ground with the hem of his clothes, and said respectfully almost in his ears: "Please forgive Taishu for my disrespectful sin." ”
Yu Shu raised the corners of his mouth with satisfaction, nodded and said: "Those who know the times are Junjie, young eunuchs, there are still many places where this seat needs to rely on you in the future, you don't have to be confused anymore." ”
She herself is a hard bone, and she is naturally handy when dealing with this kind of soft and hard person who does not eat oil and salt, and what kind of polite corporal and approachable person are, only if he recognizes the reality, he will obediently obey his orders.
Ren Qiming softened in front of her, and then reported an "interesting story" to her.
"Last night, several academicians of Taishi Shuyuan came to my house to ask for a meeting, and after meeting, they knocked on the side, smelling their meaning, but they were dissatisfied with you taking over the Si Tianjian, deliberately provoking right and wrong, and provoking me to fight for power with you."
When she heard Han Wenguang's name, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, her eyes flashed, and she thought: At the beginning of her tenure, people's instability was inevitable, and when she was about to kill chickens and monkeys, someone who was looking for death sent to the door.
Ren Qiming is also interesting, and he stabbed her in the back simply, not only clearing up the relationship, but also surrendering to her.
Yu Shu then asked him: "What do you think should be done with this matter?" ”
Ren Qiming said sternly: "In the opinion of the lower officials, several academicians are too leisurely, so they will be impetuous, and they will try their best to have some ideas that they shouldn't have, if they are not punished, lest they become more rampant in the future." ”
"What the young eunuch said is very true," Yu Shu thought for a while, sat upright, and picked a lake pen from the pen holder. Seeing this, Ren Qiming hesitated for a moment, and then stepped forward to study ink for her.
Yu Shu shook the pen and said: "I have studied in the Taishi Academy for several months, and I have found many bad habits, such as some academicians are very self-confident and turn away students who are studying hard, and some academicians take advantage of their positions to seek personal gain and do not concentrate on teaching. All of this is because the eighteen academicians are doing their own thing, and there is one less person who presides over the overall situation, and Si Tianjian has more indulgence, so he can lead today. It is better to choose a dean from among them, and then send a supervisor from Si Tianjian to urge Taishi Shuyuan to correct the atmosphere. ”
This move is not only out of selfishness, Taishi Shuyuan has always been the first choice for Si Tianjian to supplement the officials, and it cannot rot on the roots. (To be continued......)
