Chapter 005 Gong E

##过后, Wu Zhi didn't come out of the house for a few days, and no one was seen, even if Wang Guifei came in person, he was also turned away, and he touched his nose and returned in a gloomy manner. During these days, Jin Lian and other women tried their best to persuade them, in fact, Wu Zhi was not pretending to be a gesture, but he just remembered that Zhao Ji was really uncomfortable in his heart, and he couldn't see the posture of some ministers in the court, these people seemed to have forgotten the emperor immediately, and began to work hard to drill camps, trying to occupy a place in the reshuffle of the imperial court, in order to be reused in front of the new emperor.

A few days later, the new emperor convened his ministers to discuss the matter of changing the yuan, and Wu Zhicai went to the Jinluan Hall for the first time.

On May 16 of the seventh year of Chongning, the new emperor changed the year name to "Xuanhe", this year name was proposed by Wu Zhi, after Xu Jiang quoted the interpretation of the classics, Zhongshu Province seconded the proposal, no one could have imagined that the king also had a special idea of the year name, especially Cai Jing, Xu Jiang and others, who knew Wu Zhi a lot, looked at Wu Zhi's eyes strangely.

Wu Zhi just remembered that the Liangshan Incident was during the Xuanhe period, so he casually mentioned it, and he didn't want to make it come true in such a vague way, which he didn't expect.

In May of the first year of Xuanhe, Hebei withdrew the commander's division, placed the left-behind division, Zongze knew Beiping Mansion, Beijing stayed behind, planted the master Daozhi Lanzhou, and the right to manage the sentence Xihe Lanhui Road through the Ministry of Strategy. Since then, Hebei Zongze, the Northwest Seed Master, and the two major generals of the South finally appeared on their stage, and the Queen Mother in order to appease Cai Jing, probably also in order to balance the strength of Wu Zhi, as a compromise, Liang Zhongshu moved to the door of the servant, entered the Zhongshu Province, and became one of the auxiliary ministers.

On this day, the sun is like fire, the blue sky is thousands of miles, on the bluestone square of the east courtyard of the Guiwang's Mansion, hundreds of delicate girls wear what they think are the most beautiful clothes, like butterflies, showing their beauty. Their faces were excited, uneasy, or curious. Although they didn't dare to talk to each other, their eyes couldn't help but secretly look east and west, is this the place that has haunted them for more than half a year? After layers of selection, they finally walked into your palace, just. The real competition has just begun, and most of them will eventually return home.

Looking at the palace women in the palace clothes who watched them pacing in front of the square, it was Shangyi, the noble king's mansion who controlled their destiny. It is their future boss.

Xing'er paced back and forth, looking at the awe in the eyes of these girls in the square, flattering, and feeling complacent, isn't she also a human being?

With the increase of princesses, the number of palace ladies has gradually increased, and it has approached two hundred, and Wu Zhi can only adopt the royal ancestral system and set up female officials in the palace. It is convenient to manage the increasingly large harem, but Wu Zhi is convenient, only set up six canons of palace, ritual, clothing, food, bed, and gong, and the six canons are divided into female officials, called Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shangshi, Shangbed, and Shanggong. There is also a palace official, who is punished by the precept order.

The seven female officials are all seven products, and the candidates are decided by several princesses, and the palace is served by the palace who has been working hard in Tokyo to take care of the palace, and Xing'er is good friends with Zhu'er. was entrusted with the position of Shangyi, in charge of the etiquette of the palace e, and the rest of the female officials were also selected from the undismissed palace laves, all of whom were capable women.

Several princesses will not participate in such trivial matters as the selection of palace laves. In the end, it was handed over to the head of Shangyi, Xing'er, who took the chicken feather as an arrow, so she naturally had to show off her majesty.

"I ask you. Do you know what is the most important thing in your palace? Apricot shouted loudly, there are no tweeters in this era. It's really embarrassing for her to let hundreds of people in the square hear her delicate voice.

Girls, you look at me, I look at you, I don't know how to answer.

"The most important thing is loyalty, loyalty to your king and his old man, loyalty to the princesses! You just need to know that even if the prince and princess want our heads, it is for our good! Xing'er shouted loudly, regretting in her heart, why didn't a few princesses pass by accidentally?

The girls looked at each other, speechless, these girls were only fourteen or fifteen years old, and even younger, in this era, the origin of the age is not strict, the development is early, and it is not uncommon to falsely report the age and be elected to the palace. It is a great honor to enter the palace of the king in their hearts, but they don't want Sister Shangyi to die and talk nonsense when they meet, which makes most of these girls uneasy, and they don't know whether this is a palace maid or a dead man.

Xing'er then began to talk about the various rules of the palace, these girls will be assigned to the Six Classics Division to learn various etiquette, and after a month, the best dumplings will be left behind, and the rest will be sent to return to their hometowns.

Xing'er was talking like her eyebrows were dancing, a guard walked in at the gate of the garden, standing still from a distance, Xing'er glimpsed it, waved her hand, and signaled for the next step, and the palace behind her went to measure the girl's body size, walked to the guard's side, and asked, "Is there something wrong with the guard's eldest brother?" ”

The guard nodded slightly: "Miss Xing'er, is there a girl named Xiaoqing among these palace maids?" ”

Xing'er said: "I don't know this, I'll go and look at the roster." Walked to the table in front of the square, picked up the roster and looked through it, and looked through it from beginning to end, there was indeed a girl named Li Xiaoqing in it, and turned around and said to the guard, the guard sighed, and Xing'er smiled: "The guard brother knows Xiaoqing girl?" She is Jiangnan Shao Wuren, has the eldest brother been to Jiangnan? ”

The guard shook his head and said, "Of course Jiang Nan has been there, and I went with the prince, but I don't know this girl?" ”

Xing'er Qi said: "Then how do you know her name?" ”

The guard sighed: "That's it, this matter is also asked Miss Xing'er to come up with an idea, a famous young man from outside the mansion, saying that he is from Shaowu in Jiangnan, called Li Gang, is he here to find his sister, he made a lot of noise outside, and he was beaten with more than a dozen sticks, or he refused to leave in front of the mansion." ”

Xing'er was even more strange: "Doesn't he know that his sister is choosing a palace maid?" Do you dare to be verbose at this time? It's terrible! ”

The guard said helplessly: "We also told him, who knows what he said that he would rather not be lifted than sell his sister and so on, he is thin and thin, and if he beats a few more sticks, he will be afraid of causing death!" ”

Xing'er was furious: "It's the other way around, he can say this kind of thing, let him say this, isn't the selection of palace maids in our house a human trafficking?" According to me, this kind of person should be beaten, and he will die, and he should be a cheap ......" Seeing that the guard's face was embarrassed, he said: "Otherwise, it's better to grab and send it to the official, and send it to Kaifeng Mansion for punishment!" ”

As she spoke, the apricot turned around angrily. shouted loudly to the girls in the square: "Who is Li Xiaoqing!" After shouting a few times, a little girl slowly raised her hand and said timidly: "I am ......"

"You come out!" Apricot said angrily.

When the girls saw that Xing'er's face was not good, they were so frightened that they all closed their mouths, and the palace maid who was holding the soft ruler also stopped and stepped aside.

"I ask you! What's going on with your brother? How to be noisy outside. Bad reputation of your royal mansion? As soon as Xiaoqing walked out of the crowd, she was scolded by Xing'er pointing her nose and lowering her head with a pale face. Don't dare to make a sound.

"What do I ask you? What the hell is going on? Sell your sister? Are you here to sell your land? Why don't you speak? Dumb? Xing'er saw that she didn't squeak, and the more she talked, the more angry she became.

"I ...... Is my brother okay? Xiaoqing raised her head and asked in a low voice, her face full of worry.

"Do you still have the heart to ask your brother?" Xing'er shook her head angrily, "Forget it, you should go back to Jiangnan with your brother, we can't afford to support people like you in our house!" Before he entered the mansion, he caused a lot of trouble, and he wanted to catch Ming'er into the mansion. Maybe there's some kind of mess going on! ”

Xiaoqing's face turned pale, Xing'er beckoned, signaling Gong'e to drive Xiaoqing out, Xiaoqing was in a hurry, fell to her knees, and said in her mouth: "Shangyi is gracious, Xiaoqing can't go ......", Gong'e dragged, Xiaoqing cried, and it was a mess. The guards at the place where the letter was first delivered shook their heads again and again.

"Sister Xing'er, what are you doing?" As soon as he spoke, a delicate woman walked in outside the garden, wearing a bright green dress. Shui Lingling's big eyes looked curiously at the noisy people.

"Ah, Princess...... Xing'er immediately changed her smiling face and went over to salute. The girl heard that it was the princess, and they all knelt down. But their eyes were curious and secretly looked at it, wanting to see what the princess was like.

"Sister Xing'er, you ...... You get up and ......", it was Zhu'er who came, although Wu Zhi recently asked for her to be canonized as a side concubine, but she really didn't have the consciousness of being a princess, and she was a little helpless when she saw the people kneeling all over the courtyard.

Xing'er was pulled up by Zhu'er and said with a smile: "How could Niang Niang come to the front yard?" ”

"I want to buy something for my lord, but ...... But Sister Gong'e and the big brothers of the guards insisted on following, so that Zhu'er didn't want to go out! Zhu'er said with a sad face.

"Niangniang's identity is different now, so naturally she has to talk about some pomp, otherwise the prince will have no face and will not be ......", Xing'er persuaded with a smile.

Zhu'er sighed, looked at Xiaoqing, who was kneeling there and weeping, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Xing'er hurriedly recounted the matter, Zhu'er had the softest heart, and when she saw Xiaoqing crying and crying, she looked very pitiful, and sighed: "Don't cry, what's the matter with your brother talking about selling his sister?" ”

Xiaoqing hesitated to answer, but the guard next to her was kind and said loudly: "The princess asked, still not from the truth?" The princess has the best heart, and she can't say that she will spare you! ”

Xiaoqing glanced at the guards gratefully, kowtowed to Zhu'er, and whispered: "The elder brother of the folk girl is concentrating on suspending school to prepare for the imperial examination next year, but ...... But after his father passed away, the family had a really hard time, and they only relied on borrowing food to survive, and my brother ...... In order to make a living, he stopped studying and went to do some small business every day to support his family...... The folk girl was worried that her brother's studies would be wasted, so she heard that she could choose the palace maid of the palace...... You can ......" I don't dare to say any more.

Zhu'er is also from a hard life, listening to Xiaoqing's words, thinking of his previous days, his heart is slightly sour,

"It doesn't matter to his brother, right?" Zhu'er turned around and asked the guard, who nodded hurriedly and said, "It doesn't matter, it's just some skin trauma." ”

"Then take some money from the house, fifty yuan is enough, right? The right to be the money for the soup and medicine, send his brother and sister back to their hometowns......" Zhu'er didn't seem to know if his idea was proper after speaking, looked left and right, and only Xing'er was beside him, and asked Xing'er: "Sister Xing'er, did you say it?" ”

Xing'er nodded again and again: "Niangniang's words are the order, how can there be a ...... that can't be done" turned her head to Xiaoqing and said loudly: "It's cheap for you!" Don't thank you yet! ”

Xiaoqing was dumbfounded when she heard this, and she gave fifty yuan for the soup medicine, which was enough for her brother and sister to spend on next year's imperial examination, and immediately understood that the princess also meant this, and she was stunned for a while, and she had been worried for most of the year, so it was easily solved?

"What are you doing? Don't kowtow and thank the mother. "Xing'er is so angry in her heart, why don't any of these palace maids have such cleverness as herself?

"Princess Xie Niangniang, Princess Xie Niangniang ......", Xiaoqing kowtowed again and again.

Zhu'er hurriedly went over and pulled her up, the little girl was strange and pitiful, and she looked about the same age as the year she met the master. Zhu'er took Xiaoqing's hand and said with a smile: "It's better to return to your hometown with your brother soon." ”

Xiaoqing felt the warmth of Zhu'er's small hands, choked and couldn't speak.

The girls in the square all looked at Xiaoqing with envy. Youde is complaining even more in his heart, why don't he have a brother to make trouble, maybe he will also be pulled by the princess, which is a blessing for several lifetimes.

"Xiaoqing can't go, Xiaoqing wants to stay and make cattle and horses for Niangniang, and repay Niangniang's kindness!" Xiaoqing lowered her head. Quietly but resolutely.

Zhu'er laughed for a while, how similar this was to herself back then, remembering that she now thinks she is a wife. There is an old man who is pampered and hurt, and his heart is warm and infinite. "It's better to take care of your brother, since he is studying hard, it's always bad if he doesn't have anyone around to serve." Zhu'er softly comforted Xiaoqing.

"This ......" Xiaoqing also hesitated.

"Sister Xing'er, you're busy, I'm going to buy something for the master!" Looking at the sky, Zhu'er exclaimed, no longer caring about the idle things in the courtyard, and ran out in a panic. I saw Xing'er funny for a while, and she was a princess, but her temperament didn't change at all, but isn't this what I like about bamboo the most? In Xing'er's heart, she still regards Zhu'er as her sister.

Turning his head and seeing the girl in the courtyard looking at the direction where Zhu'er disappeared, everyone was surprised and stunned, and Xing'er smiled disdainfully, what is so strange about this, if you see Concubine Ye's demeanor. Will it be scared and screaming? When you see the "etiquette" of the prince and several princesses again, then your eyes won't fall off?

"Let's go, I'll take you to the bookkeeper!" Xing'er didn't care that Xiaoqing was still hesitating, and had already pulled her up and went straight to the palace accountant......

Li Gang, who was outside the palace, saw his sister come out. I had some joys and sorrows, and when I heard that the princess gave fifty yuan of money, and sent my sister out and returned to her hometown. Li Gangteng stood up and looked at the plaque of your palace for a long time. took his sister's hand and walked away.

Wu Zhi naturally didn't know these episodes, and he didn't know that he would have a big arm to help him in the future, at this time he was looking at the special report sent by Lu Cheng, in the past few years, Wu Zhi has reintegrated his forces, and the strategic significance of Wujia Zhuang no longer exists, but the training of Zhuang Ke Township soldiers has not stopped for a day, Wu Zhi is convinced that the forbidden army has the use of the forbidden army, and the Zhuang soldiers have the value of Zhuang soldiers, and sometimes the township army can do something that the forbidden army can't do or can't do.

And the splashing network, these years have developed rapidly, without the huge Chiyu black hole of Wujiazhuang, Wu Zhi's silver money is rolling, Long Wu is also following the money, and splashing skin everywhere is not unpopular, now when it comes to Wu Zhi's silver money, he himself can't please how much, Wang Jin's annual income from private goods trading is astronomical, not to mention Wujiazhuang's "fairy tea", and when trading with several countries, Wu Zhi only collects gold and silver exchange, and if the gold and silver stored by Wu Zhi in the past few years are placed in the future, it is much more than the treasury reserves of some small countries.

"Lao Wu, you come to analyze this information, my head hurts a little when I see it!" Wu Zhi pushed the thick mule paper in front of Wu Yong, rubbing his slightly sore temples, with the improvement of the intelligence network in various places, the amount of intelligence has greatly increased, and it is no longer the era when Wu Zhi can easily drink tea and taste dim sum.

Wu picked up the paper with a sad brow, and it was not easy to find a few useful pieces of information from this vast amount of information.

Wu Zhi sighed, it seems that it is time to find some helpers with outstanding analytical skills, but the matter of the splashing network can be said to be extremely secret, second only to the secret of the fairy tea, and it is difficult to find loyal and capable subordinates.

Just thinking about it, the guard outside the study knocked lightly on the door, "Lord, the Queen Mother summoned you to the palace for discussion." Wu Zhi responded, and smiled at Wu Yong: "Sit, sit, don't be in a hurry, slow work and work ......", Wu Yong was speechless for a while, and only congratulated the prince.

Wang Guifei saw Wu Zhi in Qinxin Garden, Wang Guifei in the pavilion was graceful and luxurious, and her majesty was inviolable, remembering the pity when she cried with herself that day, Wu Zhi only smiled bitterly in his heart.

"Second brother, come and sit!" When Wang Guifei saw Wu Zhi's affectionate greeting, she pointed to the soft pier opposite her and motioned for Wu Zhi to sit here.

Wu Zhi bowed slightly: "The Queen Mother is healthy!" ”

Wang Guifei was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand and smiled: "Second brother, what's wrong?" The concubine still likes the second brother to call me the imperial sister-in-law, so that she is affectionate. Come and sit down! On both sides, Gong E did not wait for Wang Guifei's instructions, and quietly retreated after offering refreshments and fruits.

"Where's the Bill?" Wu Zhi sat down and looked left and right, the little guy was not here.

"Second Uncle wants to be sick?" Hearing Wu Zhi ask about her baby daughter, Wang Guifei smiled happily.

Wu Zhi smiled and nodded, in fact, he was just a little strange, these days when he sees Wang Guifei, he will always be there, and he is not used to seeing him today.

"I talked to my second brother about something serious today, and I didn't call her over." Wang Guifei hurriedly explained.

"If the imperial sister-in-law has something to say, please listen!" Wu Zhi bowed slightly.

Wang Guifei sighed: "As soon as the first emperor left, the second brother was separated from me......" Speaking of the first emperor, her eyes were slightly red, and she took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corners of her eyes.

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, "The imperial sister-in-law doesn't have to be too sad, and the imperial brother doesn't want to see the imperial sister-in-law sad all day long, now the imperial sister-in-law is the queen mother, and she is in charge of the well-being of tens of millions of Li people in the Song Dynasty, and she still needs to take care of her body!" ”

Wang Guifei nodded slightly, "These...... I know that, but ...... But I'm a weak woman...... And how can you manage so much? Let's just talk about the other day...... My brother wanted to go back to the capital ......, and when he saw Wu Zhi's doubts, he explained: "The second brother has also seen it, and he has been a Zhizhou ...... under the second brother."

Wu Zhi's heart flashed, it turned out to be Li Zhizhou who had been beaten by Qiqiao.

Over there, Wang Guifei saw Wu Zhi nodding, signaled that she was listening, and continued: "Who knows...... Who knew that the province of Zhongshu just couldn't discuss it, I heard that ...... I heard that the Taishi agreed, but the Taiwei did not allow it...... "Taishi naturally refers to Cai Jing, and Taiwei is General Xu."

Wu Zhi sighed in his heart, don't blame the imperial brother for saying that Wang Guifei has no mother's prestige in the world, but this is true, she has become the queen mother, and she is still as careful as before, so she wants to put the Li family on the table, even if you really want to, you don't have to be in such a hurry, right? This is what the ministers think of you.

Wu Zhi was unhappy in his heart, his brows were furrowed, and he was a little annoyed in his heart to send Wang Guifei to the throne of the queen mother, but he remembered that the emperor's brother liked only Wang Guifei and Zheng Guifei, if Zheng Guifei became the queen mother, she relied on Cai Jing, but I was afraid that it would be a big trouble, although Wang Guifei was too selfish, she would not be too close to Cai Jing after all, women have small hearts, especially Wang Guifei, a little woman who has no eloquence, her heart is even smaller, she is still angry about Cai Jing's first recommendation of Zheng Guifei, although Cai Jing has shown favor in every possible way these days, Wang Guifei always had a pimple in her heart.

Wang Guifei saw Wu Zhi frowning and thinking, and did not bother, picked up the tea and took a sip, she was still very grateful to Wu Zhi, if there was no Wu Zhi, after Zheng Guifei was established as the queen mother, her life must be unbearable, just look at Zheng Guifei today, the new emperor is not waiting to see, the queen mother's eye thorn, except for a few intimate palace eunuchs around her, others saw her like a plague, she hid to the side early, and no longer had the appearance of the former command, and she was in a panic all day long.

"Imperial sister-in-law, forgive my brother for being rude, my brother wants to ask the imperial sister-in-law, the imperial sister-in-law wants me to be in the Song Dynasty for thousands of generations, and the people will be happy. Or do you want the royal family to lean towards the government and the opposition and enjoy the glory forever? Wu Zhi stared at Wang Guifei Yiyu and asked.

Wang Guifei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Wu Zhi to ask so directly, and slowly put down the cup in her hand, her face a little embarrassed.

Wu Zhi sighed: "Imperial sister-in-law, I don't know how to speak, the emperor's favorite thing is that I speak straightforwardly, don't blame the royal sister-in-law, and the imperial sister-in-law say a word from the heart, the current honor of the imperial sister-in-law can be said to be the first in the world, and the action should also be based on the world, as for the small things such as the imperial sister-in-law's brother, it is really not worth worrying about the imperial sister-in-law, if you want to worry about it, you should imitate the previous generation of the Empress Dowager Gao, to the Queen Mother, everything is national affairs first, and you should follow them to the authority of the relatives to prevent the weight of the relatives......"

Every time Wu Zhi said a word, Wang Guifei's face became ugly, and in the end, Wang Guifei's face was already difficult to see, and she lowered her head to drink tea and was silent.
