Chapter 30: Crying
Don't think that a few thousand taels of silver is less, Miss, this eight-grade royal maid, the monthly silver for a month is only fifty taels.
"Now Yunshen, that girl is happy." Ruan Lingwei said with a smile.
For a foodie, it is natural to be happy to have delicious food, and if you can make it yourself, it will be even happier!
Ruan Lingwei was still waiting for that Mr. Lin to be unlucky, but she didn't want to buy ice and fresh fruits again, which directly stimulated someone in the harem.
So much so that what happened next was completely unexpected.
……
Xiao Liyan didn't know that his princess moved to another courtyard and everyone knew about it, and he didn't know that people outside said that he spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and that he was going to accept a side concubine.
Since the first emperor was still alive, he was in charge of Dali Temple, and it is still the case, but it is ...... He is a prince anyway, and he doesn't have to go to the yamen every day to be on duty, and only goes when he encounters a big case.
Dali Temple is in charge of the review of important cases nationwide, some cases can not be solved after the report, Dali Temple will send people to investigate, the results were originally to be reported to the Criminal Department for approval, but since Xiao Liyan took charge of Dali Temple, the status of Dali Temple has risen, and naturally there is no need to be restricted by the Criminal Department.
Today's Dali Temple has gathered a large number of masters, not only martial arts, but also the case, Xiao Liyan has cultivated a large number of works, so that the Liang Dynasty has a lot less unjust cases, and the people who enter Beijing every year to sue the imperial court are almost gone.
Because of this, although he did not hold a high position and did not hold military power, he was also quite prestigious and respected in the court.
On the first day of the fifth lunar month, Xiao Liyan had just had breakfast and was about to go out to the court, when Haiyi, the personal guard who was guarding outside, walked in quickly.
"Lord Qiqi, Zeng Jingping, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, asked to see the prince, he came before dawn, and he has been kneeling outside for a long time."
"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Xiao Liyan couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
Although he didn't know that Lord Zeng, those people in the Hanlin Academy prided themselves on being clear, and they never befriended relatives and powerful ministers, either devoted to learning, or devoted to asking for life for the people, and were very high.
Now there is such an editor who came to visit him before dawn, and he has been kneeling outside for so long, he must have something important to ask for.
"The prince read late last night, and he had to go to the court early this morning, and his subordinates didn't dare to bother, and they originally thought that they would come back after the prince came back after the morning court, and then see the Zeng lord, but the Zeng lord refused to leave, and broke his head, desperately trying to see the prince." Haiyi hugged his fists and said.
"Let him go to the main hall." Xiao Liyan said as he went to the main hall.
Anyway, he is the emperor's uncle, and it doesn't matter if he is late for a while.
Their emperor would be late for the 15th day of every month, and sometimes even make them wait for a long time, and they would doze off after coming.
Such a great court meeting is really boring, if it weren't for the rules of the ancestors set there, he really didn't want to go, it was a complete waste of time.
"Lord Wang." After Zeng Jingping entered the main hall, he saw Xiao Liyan and knelt down in a hurry.
"Lord Zeng doesn't need to be polite, you insist on seeing this king, why is it?" Xiao Liyan glanced at Zeng Jingping's forehead, which had broken skin, and asked in a low voice.
"Lord Wang......" Zeng Jingping couldn't help but lower his head and didn't speak for a long time.
Xiao Liyan saw that his shoulders were shaking so badly that he knew that he was crying.
What happened to make a big man cry like this?
"Lord Wang, Xia Guan was the champion in the examination five years ago, and he entered the Hanlin Academy as an editor at that time." Zeng Jingping raised his head as he spoke, and said with a sad and indignant face: "Xiaguan's wife grew up with her childhood sweetheart, married to Xiaguan for eight years, and gave birth to children for Xiaguan, but last year she entered the palace to ask Yi Guifei Niangniang on time, and was detained in the palace. ”
Zeng Jingping said this and knocked his head a few times: "Xia Guan knows that it is not the first time that the emperor has robbed the minister's wife, and Xia Guan also knows that Xia Guan's wife will not come back, for the sake of his parents and a pair of children, Xia Guan does not dare to make trouble, just hope that one day the emperor will be disgusted with her and drive her out of the palace, but she died in the palace yesterday." ”
As the secretary of Dali Temple, once someone died, Xiao Liyan's first reaction was to find out and give justice to the deceased.
However, it was in the palace, and if something happened, it was naturally not the turn of Dali Temple to handle the case.
"Xia Guan knows that she died in the palace, and the palace has the final say on how to die, Xia Guan doesn't have the ability to avenge her, and he doesn't have the ability to find out the cause of her death, Xia Guan only wants to help her collect her body, and bury her as the wife of Xia Guan." Zeng Jingping couldn't stop crying when he said this.
"The lower official knows, this makes the prince very embarrassed, but the lower official is also desperate, the emperor still has a little reason in front of the prince, the lower official's wife is nothing to the emperor, where she is buried, the emperor will not care." Zeng Jingping said this and began to kowtow again.
"Ask the prince to help the lower official, although the lower official is only a six-grade editor, he has no power and no power, but wherever the prince can use it, although the prince commands, even if he wants the life of the lower official, the lower official is willing to give it with both hands."
"Get up, do your best." Xiao Liyan glanced at Zeng Jingping deeply and said in a low voice.
"Yes, thank you, Lord Wang." Zeng Jingping kowtowed and thanked him.
"There is a big court meeting today, we can't delay, let's enter the palace together." Xiao Liyan said as he walked out quickly.
Every time there is a great court meeting, all the officials in Beijing have to go to the court, and those who are above the third rank will meet the emperor in the palace, and those outside the third grade will kneel in turn in the open space outside the main hall.
Zeng Jingping broke his forehead, naturally he couldn't face the saint, but he didn't have to enter the main hall, so he still had to go.
And his official position is too low, if he doesn't go, once the boss is held accountable, he will probably be dismissed.
Xiao Liyan's heart is really not a taste.
Since Xiao Chengzong ascended the throne and succeeded to the throne, he has done a lot of snatching the minister's wife, and he has done it four or five times.
This former editor is a champion Lang, and he used to be high-spirited, and he stayed slowly in the Hanlin Academy, maybe one day he will soar and prosper.
Unexpectedly, this leader among the scholars actually fell to such a point.
It's a national misfortune!
Xiao Chengzong's emperor is really not qualified.
Xiao Liyan has also persuaded many times, and at first that kid listened to some of it, but now he doesn't like to listen to it.
After all, he is the emperor, the Ninety-Five Supreme, where can he be persuaded by one of his subordinates.
But because of these many things, the court and the central government are already complaining, and if it goes on like this, Xiao Chengzong's throne will definitely not be stable.
