After Baolin was fortunate by King Zhao, he was promoted to talent in three days. Later, he was repeatedly favored, and by the end of the year, he had been promoted to Jieyu, and he was a third product. King Zhao has a wife, and the queen has died; Two of the three ladies are the daughters of the Pei family of Jianmen and the Yang family of Oxford; Nine concubines are full. In other words, there are only eleven women in front of Sui Jieyu.

However, none of these eleven noblewomen left a son and a half daughter for King Zhao, and even some of them died. Now that the favored Sui Jieyu is pregnant, King Zhao very much hopes to have a child of his own, even if it is just a daughter? Therefore, with the treatment of nine concubines, Sui Jieyu was supported, protection was strengthened, and there were imperial doctors and stable women waiting at any time.

Now King Zhao is asking the gods to pray, hoping that the gods will bless him, and the ancestors will bless him, and he will be able to give birth to the dragon seed smoothly.

After divination, Taishi said: "Your Majesty, when you have the protection of your peers, you can successfully give birth to the dragon seed." ”

"Peers? Does it mean Huafang? ”

"What the hexagram says has always seemed to be true. After all, the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, if the hexagram is clear, then everything in the world is not understood? Isn't that confusing? ”

"It seems that as the hexagram says, nine times out of ten it is Huafang."

Out of the temple. King Zhao pondered that since I was only lurking for a while, you Sun Yu dared to be not deferential enough to my niece, which shows that your Sun Yu also regarded this marriage as politics. It seems that you may not be able to cherish your niece if you marry you, and besides, if you marry my niece at the age of thirty, you don't look at your old face, is it qualified? Besides, when he doubled his age, Sun Yu, who was old and spicy, faced his immature niece, wasn't that one-sided crushing? Not to mention the young talent that suits my niece. immediately decided to delay it a little longer, but he still wanted to reward him with a few beauties of Sun Yu.

Back in the palace, it doesn't matter which level of concubine it is Linxing's turn today. In the name of Sui Jieyu's pregnancy and need to be appeased, she went to Sui Jieyu.

Sui Jieyu recently received many gifts and cloths from her cousin Sui Zhaoshen, and she used these cloths to reward the eunuchs and palace maids around her, and she did not forget the palace people from all departments in the palace. For example, the celebrant supervisor, the inner hospital, the Shangshan supervisor, the imperial supervisor, and the Huanyi courtyard were all rewarded.

Lin Fang, the inner manager, took the benefits of the Sui sisters, and even used his power to command Ouchi to take care of everything from Sui Jieyu. Of course, even without these benefits, as an out-and-out royalist, he most hopes that King Zhao will have a boy to inherit the throne in the future.

You must know that in the change of the Son of Heaven, the princes are still the princes, and the scholars are still the scholars. However, as soon as the Son of Heaven changes, the people in the inner court will definitely change blood. Whether it is himself and his godson Song Yuyao, or their sworn enemy Chen Gong, they are all His Majesty King Zhao and the house slaves of the Xue family. If the Xue family is the heir, just like when the Chen family lost their position, the people who were forbidden in the palace were replaced by the people of the Xue family.

Because of this, he is busy with one thing these days - to protect Sui Jieyu.

At this time, Sui Zhaoshen had already been promoted from Pingzhun Langzhong to become Hongnong Zuocheng, that is, the second person in Hongnong Mansion. In addition, Suihou also readmitted this nephew and asked him to revert to his surname Sui. However, King Zhao, the Son of Heaven, issued a special edict, giving him the surname Sui, and ordering him to be a separate sect of the Sui clan and set up another portal. So he gave up, but Sui Zhaoshen has become the number one person in the young generation with his family. Especially when he was supposed to be Sui Hou Shizi as Sui Jieyu's brother, Sui Zhaoshen actually enjoyed the various benefits of "Uncle Guo".

Of course, Sui Zhaoshen, who is free and casual, and is good at all kinds of entertainment, is now often recruited into the palace by the Son of Heaven to mention his face, which makes him flattered and a little unbearable.

"You are Sui Jieyu's cousin and my cronies. For the sake of the country, don't just think about getting promoted and getting rich. Gongsun Weizhong is riddled with old age and illness, and the burden of assisting me in the future will still be on you people. ”

"He who wins the hearts of the people is the Son of Heaven. How can I, the Son of Heaven, gather the hearts of the people? Isn't it up to you humerus ministers to assist and assist? ”

"Whoever thinks for the people. When the people don't have enough to eat, they will take risks. The rich and noble rebelled, but they just spent money to buy a few accomplices. If the people rebel, it will be an inexhaustible soldier for the rebels......"

These teachings are so big that Sui Zhaoshen listens to them - you love the people so much, can you ask for less money? Your Majesty, while shouting that the treasury is empty, you are shouting the bitterness of the people. Which one do you believe?

Teaching is teaching, and office is office. Fu Heng is the head of the Fu family, the head of the family, and he is a person who grasps the big and lets go of the small, and is in charge of the important people. The so-called Hongnong Mansion is the main work of using the right people and controlling the general policy. The daily work on weekdays is Zuo Cheng Sui Zhaoshen is in charge.

Sui Zhaoshen left the palace and returned to Hongnong's mansion, and a group of people came to receive the money with the approval of Zhongshuge.

"Sui Zuocheng, our East County has had a big flood this year, and more than 100,000 people have been displaced......"

"Sui Zuocheng, our Yanmen County has been sacked three times by barbarians, and tens of thousands of people have been left homeless......"

"What about Shanzhou's military spending? It's been a long time in arrears......"

"Sui Zuocheng, the use in the palace is insufficient, our family ......"

……

Faced with a bunch of debt collectors, Sui Zhaoshen didn't dare to take it. has been an official for so long, and he doesn't know how much money these people can want, and he knows exactly how much money there is in the warehouse of Hongnong Mansion.

After entering the lobby and sitting down at his desk, he lay down in the back: "A few people will see how much my meat can sell, so they will cut me down and sell it." ”

"Sui Zuocheng, don't be kidding, the military situation is urgent."

"If you don't help the people of Dongjun, there will be rebellion among the displaced people!"

"The situation in Yanmen is even more serious......"

Only the little yellow door in the palace who came to beg for money didn't dare to say anything - the big internal official told him not to force Sui Zuocheng.

There is no way, everyone only gives 30% first. Promise other money and then find a way......

"Sui Zuocheng, don't fool us, when will we collect taxes again. Where do you go to find the money? ”

"That's it, I haven't found any money......

"......" Sui Zhaoshen's head was swollen, his whole body was cold, and he wanted to die headlonging. In the end, he didn't even know how to get home.

"Saburo. What's wrong? Got a debt again? ”

"Jean. I only learned in the past few days that the official family's business is really too big, and it is too suitable. On weekdays, the personable and dignified feudal officials are more powerful than the scoundrels in the market. ”

"The treasury is empty, what can you do?"

"It costs money to fight a war, it costs money to help the victims, and it costs money to spend money in the palace - it seems that Chief Manager Lin has instructed Xiao Huangmen not to force me."

"After all, it's a family. It seems that the king would rather live a poor life himself than embarrass you, a cheap brother-in-law. San Lang, you rest for a while, I'll pour you some water. ”

"Don't go, Qin'er, I want to ...... third brother"
