In mid-October, the prince ordered the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Water to jointly write a letter: During the winter slack period, the water conservancy will be renovated and the river will be dredged. He asked the saints to dredge all the blocked rivers in Gyeonggi-do and Togi-do and to strengthen the embankments after spring ploughing.

"Quasi-play." The saint has already seen the excerpt submitted by the Qin Heavenly Prison, saying that he learned from the hexagram that there will be a flood disaster in the spring and summer of next year, "Prince, this matter will be led by you, and the personnel and property will be dispatched by you." ”

The prince came out of the column and saluted, "The son of the minister receives the decree." ”

After being grounded for half a year, King Lu, who returned to the court to listen to the government, showed a trace of jealousy in his eyes. When the king of Guishan, who was grounded in the mansion, learned of this, he was also unwilling. Whether they are jealous or unwilling, they can only watch the prince take power.

Although water control is a major event and involves many people, it is far less than another matter that makes civil and military officials care. Next year will be the year of the triennial examination, and the Jingchao examination will be combined with the term of office, three years will be small and six years will be full.

This is related to the promotion of all officials, can you not care? Can you not pay attention to it? A courtier who doesn't want to be promoted is not a good courtier. According to the usual practice, the Holy Lord should appoint officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to preside over the examination, but this time the Holy Lord asked Fu Zhixing, the prince of Anguo, to take charge of the matter.

"I'm a squire of the Ministry of Works! I'm on vacation. Fu Zhixing couldn't help but go crazy when he heard the holy oracle brought by the inner servant.

The chamberlain bowed his head and replied: "The Holy Lord has appointed the prince as the imperial history of the right capital of the Imperial Court today, and the young lady is about to give birth, which will not affect the fact that the prince will preside over the examination next year." ”

The saint has calculated this, what else can Fu Zhixing do? With a cold face, he said, "The minister accepts the order." ”

When the chamberlain returned to the palace to make a mistake, the saint laughed loudly, "No matter how cunning your grandson monkey is, he can't escape from the palm of the Buddha." ”

Looking at the happy Shengshang, Queen Shen couldn't cry or laugh, "Long live Lord, are you bullying juniors like this?" ”

"That stinky boy, always looking for excuses not to do things, I don't like him, I have to find something for him to do." The saint is capricious and authentic.

Of course, the saint didn't think about exhausting Fu Zhixing to death, and he also appointed several officials to assist him in presiding over the examination. In the Anguo Mansion and the homes of those officials, there were many visitors, and Fu Zhixing was overwhelmed.

In addition to visiting Fu Zhixing and others, these officials are also checking and filling in the gaps on their own, and many mansions will hear such a roar, "You bastard!" Did you eat bear's heart leopard gall? actually embezzled 500,000 taels of silver from the warehouse, and squandered it all! 500,000 taels, not 50,000 taels, not 500 taels, what did you do with all this silver? ”

"You damn thing! Who gave you such guts? Dare to resell the grain in the warehouse! If you want to die, die yourself, don't bother us. ”

"What did you do? How could there be a deficit of nearly a million taels of silver? How does this make up for the shortfall? The deficit can't be filled, let alone being an official, I'm afraid that our big family will not be able to protect our lives. ”

In order to make up for the shortfall before the exams, many officials began to sell shops, sell fields, or borrow money from all over the world.

In the palace of King Guishan, King Guishan and an old man sat in the study and drank tea, "Old Ming, this fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. ”

"Lord Wang, give up your small fortune to become a big business, and when the prince sits in that position and becomes rich in the world, what is this 500,000 taels of silver?" The old man laughed.

"You're right, but 500,000 taels don't have to be sent to the Su family in such a hurry, so that Su Wei will be anxious for two more days, so that he can deeply rejoice the desperate feeling of being cornered. Only in this way will he be more grateful to me and will be used by this king. "King Guishan is shrewd and authentic.

"The prince is wise." The old man patted his ass.

These things, Yan Hagi, who raised a fetus at home, had no way of knowing, the weather was getting colder and colder, afraid that she would catch a cold, so she passed the kang and burned the earth dragon, the cold wind outside was biting, and the house was still warm

Fu Zhixing seemed to have something to do, and after having breakfast with Yan Hao, he went out.

At the beginning of noon, Han asked Zhuo'er and Yue'er to be sent over to have lunch with Yan Hao. Yue'er didn't know what she was holding in her hand, so she ran in, "Mother, Yue'er picked up a lot of ice beans." ”

Yan Hagi looked into his little red hand and smiled, "Silly boy, isn't it cold when you catch so many snow particles?" ”

"Give it to my mother." Yue'er grinned.

"It's for my mother, it's really my mother's good son." Yan Hagi touched his head, "Thorn Rose, take the cup and bring it over, and put up the ice beans that the second young master gave me." ”

Thorn Rose took the cup, asked Yue'er to put the "baby" ice beans in his hand, washed his hands, and then applied anti-frostbite plaster.

After a while, Zhuo'er also came, and he brought a branch of plum from the princess's mansion, "Mother, my son saw that the plum blossom in the yard was blooming, so he broke a few branches, and his great-grandmother and grandmother sent someone to send it over, and this is the son who folded it to give to his mother." ”

"Thank you Zhuo'er, mother, I like this plum fragrance the most." Yan Hagi said with a smile.

In the evening, Fu Zhixing came back from outside and saw the plum blossoms in the bottle, "The maid went to help you fold it?" ”

"Zhuo'er folded it to me, my son is so filial." Yan Hagile said hehehe.

"My son gave you a plum blossom, so happy?" Fu Zhixing wiped his hands clean and sat down beside her.

Yan Hao's eyes flowed, "A woman's pursuit is the love of her husband and the filial piety of her children." ”

"I'll give you these and see if you like them?" Fu Zhixing took the wooden box that had just been placed aside and handed it to Yan Hao.

Yan Hagi opened the box, which contained a stack of land deeds and field deeds, and asked in astonishment, "Where did these come from?" ”

"In the official examination, those officials who embezzled and embezzled public funds, in order to keep the black yarn hat, had to sell land and land to raise funds to fill the shortfall." Fu Zhixing explained.

"Do you count as robbery while the fire is on?" Yan Hao asked with a smile.

Fu Zhixing said solemnly: "I'm saving them from fire and water, if I don't buy it, their fields can't be sold, and they won't be able to take out the silver to fill the shortfall, not only will they not be able to keep their official positions, but even their lives will be worried." ”

"Thank you, husband, I like these very much." Yan Hao's eyebrows are crooked, she has made a fortune! Make a fortune!

In the middle of the night, Yan Hagi who was sleeping suddenly woke up in pain and pushed the people around him, "Husband, husband." ”

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Fu Zhixing sat up suddenly.

"I—I'm going to give birth." Yan Hao had labor pains long before she fell asleep, but the interval was still relatively long, so she didn't tell Fu Zhixing.

Fu Zhixing hurriedly got out of bed and lit the lamp, "Come on, come on, the young lady is about to give birth." ”

Suddenly, the lights in the courtyard were all turned on, and the maidservant hurriedly called Wen Po, who lived in the West Cross Courtyard, and Fu Zhixing carried Yan Hao, who was tightly wrapped, into the delivery room that had been arranged long ago.
