Chapter 280: Unspoken Rules
Huang Qiong, who had just stunned Liu Hu, was in turn stunned by Liu Hu's answer. It took a long time to react, and his own inquiry made Liu Hu understand that he was a little wrong. actually thought it was himself and wanted to take his widowed sister-in-law as a concubine. Huang Qiong was somewhat annoyed and angry by Liu Hu's words.
He didn't expect that he would leave this impression in Liu Hu's heart. Well, I do like women who are a little older and have a plump body. His sister-in-law is indeed of this kind, but she is not so hungry that she even has to do it with the relatives of the people around her.
Huang Qiong, who was somewhat embarrassed, simply didn't hide it this time and said directly: "Brother Liu, what are you thinking?" How could this king do such a thing as a dear brother to your brother, and your sister-in-law is the sister-in-law of this king? This king thinks that if his sister-in-law lives according to you, after all, there is a suspicion of melon fields and plums. Besides, your sister-in-law is not very old, so she can't always be so lonely. ”
"This king is telling you this today because he wants to propose marriage to a person. You see that the cavalry battalion is located in the commander, how is the person? He was assigned to a remote county in western Sichuan, and his ex-wife eloped with someone because she couldn't stand the suffering. Because he was worried that he had wronged his children, he had not continued all these years. Now that his children have become adults, this is an adult. ”
Although he is a little older, he is only in his forties, and he is now considered to be in the prime of life. Judging from his attitude towards his ex-wife and children, he is also a loving and righteous person. What this king means is that if you want to reconcile the two of them, ask your opinion. After all, you can be regarded as your sister-in-law now, the only relative by your side except for the two children who are not yet young. ”
"Some people say that women should obey their fathers at home, marry their husbands, and obey their sons when they die. But this is the prevailing concept at the moment. Some people distort the words of Master Confucius, but there are so many people who agree that even this king cannot but consider it. If you don't agree, even if your sister-in-law is tempted, she will definitely not agree. ”
After listening to Huang Qiong's straightforward remarks, he realized that he had misunderstood Huang Qiong's Liu Hu, and he was somewhat ashamed. It's just that for his own prince, this somewhat unique idea, Liu Hu scratched his head and said: "Lord, tell me the truth." My respect for this sister-in-law is almost equal to my respect for my mother. Tiger, too, survived from the most difficult days. ”
"I also know that a woman without a husband has a hard time living with children. Even if there is a prince and a tiger to take care of, it will not be easy for my sister-in-law to be alone. Besides, it's been more than three years since my brother passed away. My sister-in-law almost died in Jingwangfu in order to keep the festival for my brother. My brother, Izumishita should be content with knowledge. ”
"Now my sister-in-law is not very old, and as a brother, I naturally hope that she can find her lifelong support. If my sister-in-law is willing to remarry, as long as that person is reliable and good to him, I will naturally not object to it as an uncle. It's just that my sister-in-law looks gentle and considerate, but in fact she is quite stubborn. If she doesn't agree, I can't help it."
"What's more, the lord is also a third-grade official in the imperial court. Although you are older, what kind of woman are you looking for? Even if it's a big girl with yellow flowers, if you want to find it, there are a lot of people rushing to catch up, can people take a fancy to my sister-in-law? Of course, if they were all willing, I wouldn't object to it. ”
Regarding Liu Hu's concerns, Huang Qiong smiled secretly in her heart. That is indeed a high position of authority now, but the more people who have experienced the vicissitudes of life, the more they want something. If it's really the kind of lady from a big family, this place in the adult may not be able to catch the eye. If he really looked for someone like that, he would have found it a long time ago, so why bother until now?
On the contrary, it is Liu Hu's sister-in-law, if it is really like the kind of character he said, the easier it is to arouse the temptation of that kind of man. As the saying goes, only when you are drunk do you know that the wine is strong, and when you have loved, you know how important. It's just these words, Huang Qiong naturally has no need to explain to Liu Hu. This matter, as long as Liu Hu does not object. As for the rest, just leave it to yourself.
After thinking about it, Huang Qiong called Liu Hu to his side, biting Liu Hu's ear and muttering for a while. And Liu Hu listened to Huang Qiong's idea, and could only nod helplessly. Looking at Huang Qiong, who explained some things to herself, with a strange smile on the corner of her mouth, Liu Hu felt a little frightened at Huang Qiong's plan.
I can't help but feel a little sad in my heart for the commander of Yu Du who was calculated to the bones. Of course, if this matter can really be done, Liu Hu will also be happy for his sister-in-law. Even if he really doesn't agree with it in his heart, Huang Qiong's approach of pulling Lang matching. Liu Hu always thinks that people are commanders in the capital, and the military attache of the three grades will take a fancy to his widowed sister-in-law?
After Liu Hu left, Huang Qiong did not leave the study. Dealing with the rebel affairs, the Xiaocai battalion naturally has veterans, and with the addition of Su Changshi, the future prefect who is about to take office, he naturally does not need to interfere. Everything must be done personally, Huang Qiong does not have that style. Huang Qiong is now waiting, waiting for the confessions of the rebel officials over there.
Huang Qiong was very patient, although she was a little anxious in her heart, she didn't send anyone to urge Yu Du to command the envoy. It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that Yu Du commanded several officials from the Xiao Cavalry Battalion to hurry over. Seeing Yu Du's commander, Huang Qiong was not ambiguous, and directly asked for the result.
When the file was sent to Huang Qiong, after he read it roughly, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Ridiculous, really ridiculous." A dignified four-grade soldier and horse envoy didn't even know the real inside story of the rebellion, so he dared to follow the rebellion. A two-rank jinshi was born in a four-grade prefect, and a general judge who came out of the election officer, but after so many years, I don't know whose money he is receiving. ”
"Of course, a few of them were coerced. But looking at these officials, the word stupid is not enough to describe their stupidity. A group of stupid people still dare to scream here. I really don't know, how did the officials choose people in the first place? These people are stupid, and it is even more stupid to put their elected officials and Henan Road Pacification Division. ”
"These people, could it be said that the imperial court really treated them badly? The officials of our dynasty can be said to be the highest in all dynasties since the first emperor. An official of the seventh grade, with the addition of messy subsidies every year, the income is not lower than that of the former Tang four-grade official. It is true that the imperial court is now in a difficult situation, and it is true that Yulu has been in arrears repeatedly. ”
"But after the autumn tax enters Beijing every year, isn't it all made up at one time? They still dare to take any money. Hundreds of thousands of yuan can buy off a prefect who was born in a two-rank jinshi, plus a group of officials of five or six grades, large and small, and even the whole family doesn't want it, so they follow the rebellion in a daze? Do they really think that the court really has nothing to do with them? ”
After looking at Huang Qiong after reading the dossier, there was a somewhat hideous expression. Yu Du commanded the envoy and glanced at several officials around him, but no one dared to speak. They, especially the commanders of Yudu, are also civil officials from the two rankings. As for the mentality of these officials, I can see it better than anyone else.
It's not that these officials don't know what is powerful, but they know it too well. For these officials, the first to rebel was the son-in-law of the middle palace, even if it failed, who would have thought that the emperor's own son would rebel against his father? As a civil official, if you can't deal with it in time and are forced to come in, you can push it all away.
Moreover, they are in the same year and have the same party in the DPRK, and they will not think of unscrupulous means to excuse them. But if the rebellion is successful, he may become a hero from the dragon. The officials of the Great Qi Dynasty are indeed high, but Emperor Taizu's sentence of the founding official system will always be the system, and future generations are not allowed to change it without authorization, and increase the number of officials at will.
Even the emperor of the current dynasty set up the front secretary of the palace and changed the original position of taiwei from a real position to a virtual position, which caused great criticism. If it weren't for the fact that the change of the king of Huaiyang County had just ended, the people in the court were panicked, and the reform of the military system of the emperor who changed before and after might not really be implemented. 、
There is a common problem in all Chinese dynasties, that is, how the successive emperors corrupted the country left by their ancestors, but they all hung the word filial piety high on the top of their heads, and they all flaunted the so-called filial piety to govern the country. This sentence also means that everything left by the ancestors is good and absolutely cannot be changed.
The ancestral system cannot be changed, which means that the official system cannot be changed, that is, a radish and a pit. If the radish in front is not plucked out, the radish in the back will not rise. In addition to the selection of scholars for the imperial examination every three years, this dynasty also elects officials from the children of the family every three years. In addition, although it cannot be said that there are many heroes, a large number of officials are elected every three years.
The newcomer came in, but the old man hadn't quit yet. In order to win over scholars and scholars, this dynasty clearly stipulates that civil officials can be relaxed to 70 years old if they are above the second grade. Officials above the fourth grade, as long as they do not make any big mistakes, can basically be 60 years old. Of course, this premise is that the life expectancy has to be that long.
The old man occupies the position, and the position of the newcomer is quite limited. Although this dynasty is said to be the highest in all dynasties, the difficulty of promotion is also the highest in all dynasties. Even if a county magistrate is born in two Jinshi, unless there is a special opportunity, if he wants to be promoted to the third grade or above, it is almost impossible to survive without twenty or thirty years of hard work.
I have to say that my career is smooth, I haven't offended anyone, and no one has stumbling up. It can be imagined from this that it was difficult for officials of the Great Qi Dynasty to be promoted. But those officials, especially those officials who were born in the two rankings, how many of them have been in the cold for ten years, and they really have the intention of serving the people? Thousands of miles of officials are only for money, and everyone knows that the bigger the official does, the more money he can make.
Since it is difficult to be promoted, it is necessary to find another way. This time, these officials rebelled with King Jing, and they may not have this idea in their hearts. In addition, this dynasty has always attached importance to officials from the two lists. As long as the crime committed by a civilian official is not a rebellion, it is generally not allowed to be killed arbitrarily. Even if he commits the crime of certain death, if he is an official from the two ranks of Jinshi, the crime will generally be reduced by one degree.
To kill an official, especially an official from the two ranks. It is necessary to be tried by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai, and after the comments of the various divisions in the capital, the sentence can be determined. And after such a set of routines, the dead ones are often changed, and the streams are exempted. Of course, there are exceptions, that is, the kind of cases that are approved by the emperor, which are generally heavy and fast.
However, there are very few who have been punished and canonized. When these people returned to the capital, they were at most a rebel. Unless the emperor personally intervened, it was unlikely that he would be sentenced to death, or even exiled. In addition to the DPRK and China, those of them who are in the same party and have been active in the same year, at most one of them will be dismissed and return to their hometowns.
Just like the prefect of Zhengzhou, who doesn't know that the current governor Chen is his uncle? Because he holds the highest position, he is the first offender among civil officials. But there is such an uncle, is it possible to punish him? The difference between the income and the proportion paid by following the crowd is too great, and these officials dare to be unscrupulous.
