When Yu Zhao was in the Chu Palace, the name of the favorite concubine was just a disguise, but she took care of the affairs of the inner court for several years by herself, and the rich experience she accumulated was also true, so at this time, even if she threw her sleeves and didn't care about things outside the window, she could only sit and point out the country, she could be called handy.

What should be the rules for the rewards given to princes and nobles of all ranks, and what is the quality of each gift? How many are the numbers? Dealing with such inconspicuous or inconspicuous details is just an ordinary thing for her, and it doesn't take much effort.

As soon as he heard the numbers reported by Zhang Shurong, Yu Zhao could keenly sense that something was wrong, and continued: "But today I saw the brocade jacket on Concubine Liu's body, which is a gift for festivals made inside, if she didn't get the courtesy, how could she have this clothes?" ”

"Niang Niang Mingjian, this matter is indeed inconsistent with ordinary rules, but it is not the fault of the concubine,"

Even Zhang Shurong was a little surprised by Yu Zhao's discernment, and she was a little flustered when she pointed out that the mistake was indeed true, but she was calm in a panic and clearly stated the reason.

"After His Majesty ascended the throne, it was originally Concubine Liu's proposal, she greeted the concubine, saying that Princess Xian's father had committed a heinous crime, and she should not receive the royal favor, so the gifts that should be given to her on various festivals were deducted, and the gifts to Concubine Liu, according to Concubine Liu's meaning, were calculated according to the gifts of the concubine, and they were done in the first two years."

Regarding Yu Zhu's matter, Yu Zhao still had the will to take care of it, so he immediately asked Zhang Shurong: "Because Princess Xian's father committed a crime, he even deducted her rites to supplement the side concubine, how can this palace not remember this law, this is the will of His Majesty and you?" ”

Thinking of the conflict between Yu Zhao and Concubine Liu in the Imperial Garden today, Zhang Shurong was very cautious, and after listening to her question, her heart was inexplicably tight, and she hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty has never said it, it was Concubine Liu's ......."

"In this case, you should know that a daughter marries a husband rather than a father!" Before Zhang Shurong finished her quibble, Yu Zhao interrupted her words, and then pointed out the incorrectness of her actions on the basis of reason.

"Your Majesty has dealt with the Yu family, but you have not said that you will cure the sins of the virtuous princess, this move also represents Your Majesty's tolerance and kindness, but you are arrogant and treat her in etiquette without permission, isn't it also a bad violation of Your Majesty's tolerance and kindness! And the four wise kings have never personally proposed to abandon the concubine, the wise princess is no longer a person who has no mother's family to rely on, and it is still his wife's room, the rank and family name have not been removed, you are so rude to his wife, it is also rude to him, and the loss of courtesy to the courtiers is the loss of His Majesty's face, so in this matter, you are very wrong! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shurong was really afraid that she would be held accountable for the crime in Yu Zhao's words, so she still tried to lead all the troubles to others, and eagerly informed: "Niangniang, this was originally what Concubine Liu meant. ”

Yu Zhao asked rhetorically: "Your Majesty asked you to take care of the harem because he trusted you, but you didn't obey his orders, and you never cared about his face, and only thought about abusing your power to please a concubine, right?" ”

In one sentence, Zhang Shurong is shrewd and capable, but in fact, he is not a stupid person, but he saw that the Liu family was gaining momentum with Chu Ziyang and wanted to beg Concubine Liu for some benefits, so he ignored the rules and withheld the gift to Yu Zhu according to what she said.

Now that she saw what happened to Yu Zhao mercilessly tearing the face of the concubine, she immediately understood that the big tree she valued before was just an empty piece of wood, and she didn't have the ability to shelter her, so she knew which way to go, and obediently confessed:

"The concubine is guilty, it really shouldn't be, whether it is the matter of the harem or the previous dynasty, it should be done according to the wishes of His Majesty. It was the concubine who was confused for a moment that day, and asked the mother to forgive her sins. ”

Stubborn and unwilling repeatedly tried to quibble Zhang to escape responsibility, Zhang Shurong's style was disliked by Yu Zhao, but fortunately she knew that the person who could understand it at one point was not the mud that couldn't support the wall, so she spared a little patience and taught:

"The most important thing in the way of running a family is to be fair and just, once someone is favored in a certain matter, the whole rule is disrupted, at least it will make the recipient arrogant, the loser resentful, and the worst, the injustice of the principal will be exposed in front of everyone, but it will end up with a crime of bending the law for personal gain."

How could Zhang Shurong not understand the truth, how could she not be extremely helpless, her mother's family was not competitive, and she was too lazy to bother to support her, and she couldn't fight for her favor, let alone the flexible brain like Concubine Ling to leave and right, she didn't dare to say anything when she was secretly bullied by Liu Zhaorong, not to mention the instructions given by Concubine Liu, if she didn't follow it and offended these people, she didn't know what it would be done......

Zhang Shurong, who thinks that he is soft-spoken, has no power to fight for himself, so he has to break the jar and say: "The concubine is taught, Concubine Xie Yi is taught, the concubine has made a big mistake, and she knows that she has no virtue to help His Majesty take care of the harem, and she voluntarily handed over the power to the mother, and there is no objection." ”

Restraining Zhang Shurong like a grass on the wall, Yu Zhao is not incomprehensible, he knows that she is weak and weak, eight or nine out of ten things in this palace are involuntarily, and today I wanted to wake her up and didn't care about the past, at this time, I heard her have the intention of abandoning herself, and she didn't answer, just asked:

"You tell this palace, what should you do if you want to clean up this mess that was brewed before?"

Zhang Shurong was immersed in frustration, and replied softly: "The festival gifts given in the name of His Majesty have never been withdrawn, and after that, you can make up the method of stop loss by mistake, and return all the gifts of Princess Xian, while Concubine Liu's previous extra gifts have been stopped at the full number." ”

"In that case, go ahead and do it."

After talking for a while, Yu Zhao felt less uncomfortable, turned his head and began to pick up oranges to eat, and casually instructed Zhang Shurong:

"Your Majesty has given you an errand, you are not guilty after you have done it, if anyone is dissatisfied with your face and let her come to Your Majesty and the palace to give advice, you don't have to work so hard to deal with people and please those many people, what benefits have they given you? If there is no good, what should you do against your will? ”

It was a wake-up dream, Zhang Shurong followed Yu Zhao's words and thought about it carefully, but no, no matter how bitter and tired they were worried about the benefits of Concubine Liu and her party, how could they have given themselves any advantage, even Xie had never heard a word, so much was lost, it was really not worth it......

Wait, Zhang Shurong suddenly woke up and raised her eyes to look at Yu Zhao: "What does Niangniang mean?"

Yu Zhao picked up the orange in his hand, took the towel handed by the lotus flower and cleaned his hands, and did not buy the guanzi, nodded and confirmed with her: "The right to give you the director, this palace has no intention of taking it back." ”
