Chapter 15 Huiji County Palace

Zhao Yu's mansion is very large and luxurious, and the two stone lions in front of the door are lifelike, and they are placed on the market, not to mention thirty or forty yuan, which is enough for a family of three to consume for a year. There were four palace guards standing outside the vermilion gate, but Zhao Yu only had four palace guards. It's not that Zhao Yu doesn't want more, he really can't afford it, a palace guard costs 500 yuan plus five buckets of rice, and two sets of clothes in spring and winter a year. On average, it costs about the same amount of money a month.

Now Zhao Yu's income is only 20 yuan, and there are also slaves, usually talking about food expenses, repairing mansions, and so on. It's all about money!

Entering the door, there is a large courtyard, as if a feng shui bureau has been laid out, and ornamental flowers and trees are planted in an orderly manner. It's just March, and a few red plum trees are blooming in the wind. The faint fragrance is mixed with the spring breeze, which makes people feel extra comfortable.

Walking along the carved corridor, I looked sideways and saw a middle-aged man wearing a cyan official robe with three long beards and several officials who were also cyan official robes at the other end of the corridor.

When they came to Zhao Yu, several people hurriedly saluted.

"Xiaguan Wangfu Governor Shi Cao Feiliang see the prince!" A middle-aged man with three long beards took the lead in saluting.

"Xiaguan Wangfu Yishan (official name) ......"

"Xiaguan Wangfu Wang You......"

There are a total of five subordinate officials, but Zhao Yu also remembered Cao Feiliang, who was relatively handsome. However, there are not many subordinate officials in the palace, and they are relatively idle, in fact, their greater role is to supervise whether Zhao Yu is outdated. Especially when the palace secretary joined the army, although Zhao Yu couldn't help his name, he knew that he was the person sent by Liu E to his side.

Zhao Yu didn't bother to be polite with them, waved his hand, but left Cao Feiliang behind him, and went straight through the front yard, and after the front yard was the living room. Although it was the first time to enter the house, but the living room except for the furniture decoration was not missing, this was the practice at that time, the general emperor rewarded the mansion, the furniture was complete, and some were transported to a hundred and ten slaves. In the living room, several newly bought young maidservants, standing on both sides of the service, saw Zhao Yu coming, and hurriedly saluted.

Zhao Yu turned his head to Cao Feiliang and asked, "Where is this king's bedroom?" ”

Cao Feiliang hurriedly made a gesture of please. "Lord Wang, please come here!"

"Hmmm! Disperse! Zhao Yu's later words were said to a group of slaves and maids.

The slaves and maids saluted again, and Zhao Yu had already gone straight to his bedroom. After turning several corners, I came to the dormitory. Sandalwood was already burning in the bedroom, and the fragrance was not strong and faint.

Although the name of the dormitory is called the dormitory, it is actually equivalent to a small suite, with three bedrooms and one living room, according to the calculation of later generations, about 80 square meters. Naturally, not all of the three rooms were slept by Zhao Yu, except for Zhao Yu's bedroom, one room was where the slaves and maids slept. The main thing is that Zhao Yu has something to do at night, and they can come to serve.

The last place is where the concubines and maids sleep. According to the rules of this era, concubines and maids were not allowed to sleep with the main room, but after that, they were naturally exhausted and it was difficult to return to their rooms, and it was impossible for them to be in the room of ordinary maids, so they specially set up such a room for them.

But now the bedroom is empty, and the wife and concubine are naturally on the one hand, on the other hand, although the maids waiting for Zhao Yu have a room here, they are keeping vigil here, and the real room is not here, so it is naturally empty.

Zhao Yu asked Cao Feiliang to leave by himself, and sat straight on the bookcase in the hall.

Zhao Yu was thinking about his gains and losses this time, and what was the reason for his disadvantage in the struggle with Liu E. Time passed little by little, and Zhao Yu didn't eat any meals.

In the end, Zhao Yu understood one thing, that is, Quan! Of course, there are other reasons, Zhao Yu was bohemian and didn't care too much about the subsections, and as a result, he gave others a chance to make a move.

It's just that people are not saints and sages, and they are infallible. In the final analysis, it's because of power, just like Liu E's nephew Liu Congde, there is a person under him who is extremely flattering and recommended by Liu Congde. Liu E is overjoyed, to the effect that the people of my Liu family are really caring, and they know how to recommend talents for the imperial court.

But this person doesn't need to be appointed for any ability, and there are already officials who know what he is doing. Liu E didn't even look at it, the impeachment was in a hurry, the dismissal of the official, and the demotion of the official.

For the sake of it, it's just a word of power!

But how can you get this right? Taizong has a law, and all the children of the clan are not allowed to join. This position is actually power. The Song Dynasty separated official positions, and most of the officials were fictitious, in name only, and took money to pass the day. The job is to do things, and really get real power.

However, Zhao Yu thought about it, and the possibility that he could be in power was very low. At least for now, after careful consideration, Zhao Yu summed up his three biggest shortcomings. Too young! Even if you count the virtual age, you are only thirteen, and it is not easy to become an official at a young age.

Another one, Taizong is Song Renzong's grandfather, and he hasn't been dead for a long time, which has a lot of prestige! In righteousness, Song Renzong was not good at changing the sect system immediately. The last one is that it is Liu E who is now in power, may Liu E give Zhao Yu a chance to turn over?

Thinking hard about what to do, Zhao Yu could only fall on the bed depressedly, but he fell into a deep sleep for a while.

On the fifth watch of the next day, the voice of the dawn of the dawn came from outside, "The sky is clear!" ~”。 Tou Tuoping said that what he practiced was the voice of chanting the Buddha. Its intention is to "teach people to save sleep" and not to lose the opportunity to chant Buddha. Because of its subtle sound and punctuality, it slowly replaced the husband and became a sober "alarm clock".

There is a pay, and there is naturally a search. On the first and fifteenth days of the Lunar New Year and various festivals, Toutuo will go to the street to ask for food and money as a reward, and the residents will generally smile and give.

At this time, it was the fourth watch, and it was still dark. However, Zhao Yu, who was accustomed to the work and rest of the Song Dynasty, was not hindered, and had already slowly got up, and immediately a maid brought a copper basin and white towel for Zhao Yu to wash. After washing up, Zhao Yu went outside to practice martial arts, it was a standard set of Taizu long fists, and in the cold morning, the dancing air was whistling.

After practicing boxing, Zhao Yu wore a sweat towel around his neck, so he went to the back garden and ran slowly around the artificial lake. After some activities, Zhao Yu was already sweating profusely. I don't go back to my room to bathe. "Plop" jumped into the artificial lake, and took off his clothes in three or two clicks. The maid who was nearby blushed with shame, but she couldn't help but secretly look at Zhao Yu's sturdy body that was exposed from time to time with her eyes.
