Chapter 36 Shi Xiaoji pacified the harem, and the holy decree went away
Throughout the New Year, there has not been a satisfactory thing since Chinese New Year's Eve. The palace heard the news of death one after another, and the invisible haze shrouded the sky over the imperial city, but the queen of the mother world was sick at this time, and the always low-key Mrs. Xian seemed to be pushed by Emperor Wei and walked to the center of the harem. For a while, countless pairs of eyes were focused on the Splendid Palace.
Maybe from the beginning, Su Yusheng shouldn't have cared about Liu Wan's affairs, because Princess Yuzhen froze to death in the ice and snow. In that case, there would be no matter of Zichen Palace sending a girl, and Emperor Wei would gradually forget about her. If you want to call yourself sick now, wouldn't it be a coy gesture?
"A letter came from Jingfu, and the wedding dress still needs to be done."
Manshi untied his cloak and shook off the cold air on it. The words were full of sarcasm, Jing really made a big joke, originally thought that the second young lady was a sensible person, and could let this matter pass quickly, so as to achieve their goal of calming things down. Unexpectedly, she was really moved by Cui Qian, and forced her to die, asking the embroidery room to finish the wedding dress.
"Come here, it's windy outside." Su Yusheng smiled and stretched out his hand to pull Manshi to sit beside him, although it was already spring, but the weather still did not mean to be clear. Pulling Yan Manshi's hand, it was extremely cold. He handed over his stove and warmed her hands.
In the days when Su Yusheng said that she was sick, Yan Manshi was like her eyes, always staring at every move in the palace. It's just that they only stay at the level of discussion and never get involved. The world makes people, and there is no way to live such a day of standing idly by.
Several major events are placed in front of Su Yusheng, and the day after tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, and the arrangement of the lanterns in the palace must be discussed with Yang Hong. But Yang Hong is the most difficult person to get along with, relying on the power of the Queen Mother, almost no one can bargain with him for so many years. It's a big deal to leave it to him to do it, or if he wants to be greedy, he won't be able to make a big mess.
"However, my sister is a person appointed by the emperor, and if she doesn't do something, she is afraid of offending the emperor."
That's the truth, an overly negative attitude will only displease the emperor, and then provoke the contradiction between the emperor and the queen mother, which is indisputable. How to find a perfect solution?
"Why don't my sister go to the Queen Mother first and ask her what she means?"
But how can this work? I don't have the same idea, I will bother the Queen Mother when I open my mouth, not to mention that the Queen Mother is angry because of Jing's affairs, even if it is usual, she may not say anything to Su Yusheng. He shook his head with a solemn expression and said, "Unless I have a detailed arrangement here, but I have never paid attention to the lantern arrangement of the Shangyuan Festival, what can I do for a while?" ”
At this time, I felt that Jing Wei was not easy, and she had to ask about the thousands of things in the palace every day, even if she had three heads and six arms, she might not be able to do it thoroughly.
This is just one of the many matters in Su Yusheng's past, as well as the reward of Princess Yuzhen's canonization, the arrangement of the Shangyuan Festival banquet, and the rewards from the palace up and down...... Su Yusheng had a heart, and took a booklet to remember, but which one to do first, and what are the rules? It's all a headache for her.
After all, Yan Manshi's brain turned fast, and although Yang Hong, who was an official in the prison, had the backer of the queen mother, he also had a rival. Thank you to the director of the Imperial Division, naturally I won't bother too much about the things in the palace. However, he has a godson, Chenghai, who can still be asked to help. Moreover, the female officials of the Shanggong Bureau don't buy Yang Hong's account, so why not invite Zhou Shanggong to discuss?
Su Yusheng weighed left and right, although he was worried about whether Cheng Hai would come to Emperor Wei and say that he was incompetent, and he was also worried about whether Zhou Shanggong would obey the queen's orders and make an obstruction from it. However, it is always okay for several parties to get together to discuss things. It's hard to say, in the process, there can be additional gains.
Without further ado, immediately let the people in the Splendid Palace invite these people to come over and discuss together.
"You also know that this palace is a person who has no ideas, and for the royal errand, he can only bother the three more."
Su Yusheng said this, and Song Lan led the three little palace maids to carry the tray and stood beside the three of them. There was a red envelope on each plate, Yang Hong glanced at it sideways, and immediately squinted his eyes with a smile, and before his hand touched the red envelope, he heard Zhou Shanggong say: "Mrs. Xian is too modest, and the saint points you to assist in the harem, which is naturally your superiority." Where do you need to make a contribution from the lower officials, you can just say. Pushed away the tray in the hands of the palace maid, and continued: "The lower officials do things, they have their own money, and then take the red envelope of the lady, it is not in accordance with the rules!" ”
Cheng Hai also acted the same way, and answered: "The slave is on an errand in front of the emperor, isn't Madam embarrassed the slave?" If there is anything that can only be done by a slave, you can tell it. ”
These two people are a word to me, but Yang Hong is not ignorant of the general situation. The stiff hand in the air hesitated for a moment, and then pushed away the tray in the palace maid's hand, and said in the same way as the two of them: "The slave also means this." ”
Yang Hong is greedy for money, Zhou Shanggong is high, and Cheng Hai will look at the momentum. After a simple try, I realized that the rumors from the outside world were not false at all. Mrs. Xian was no longer polite to them, took the notebook from Song Lan's hand, and talked about what she was going to do next. The three of them sat side by side, naturally they all had to show their demeanor, and there was no prevarication at all. As for Yang Hong, it can be regarded as seeing through Su Yusheng's good intentions.
This woman said that she didn't know anything, but in fact, she put a lot of effort into it, except for the very details, she didn't take care of the other arrangements. Cheng Hai and Zhou Shanggong are not stupid people, and at the moment of accounting, he is already greedy. Pi smiled and took over the work of arranging the lanterns in the palace, and also made sure to do the best to suppress the morale of the other two.
Every year, the reward in the palace has to pass through the hands of Zhou Shanggong, and she naturally knows what the rules are, Su Yusheng said, she should also go on an errand, and she didn't say much. This year, He Hanyun's 300,000 mu of salt fields had an income of three million taels of silver, and one million taels were allocated to the palace, solving many urgent matters. After calculation, there are still seven or eight hundred thousand taels, which is enough for the reward in the palace.
The banquet of the Shangyuan Festival still fell on Cheng Hai's shoulders, and when his Chinese New Year's Eve banquet was properly arranged, Emperor Wei was very satisfied. Second, this is a flattering errand for the emperor, and he is willing to work again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this palace still knows two words, all accounts must be clear, every day at noon and unitary time must go to the splendid palace to report the amount of money, so as to avoid others from looking for words in the future. It's thankless to get three, and it's thankless. ”
It seems to be for their consideration, but in fact, it breaks off the idea of someone stealing the day.
"It's still Madame's thoughtful!" Cheng Hai couldn't help but admire.
returned to the Xuanzheng Palace, and told Ji Hongduo what he saw and heard in the Splendid Palace today, he just smiled: "She is no match for Jing Hui in terms of human feelings, but her cautious calculation is even better." ”
This is Emperor Wei's evaluation of Mrs. Xian, and then discussed the matter of Jing Ji with Xie Zhi, and no longer talked to Cheng Hai. From the conversation between the two, Cheng Hai also faintly felt that Jing Ji was only afraid that the death penalty could be avoided this time, and the living crime could not be escaped.
The matter of Jingfu's decree was not let Chenghai do it, and everything was after the Shangyuan Festival. Xie Zhi personally drafted the holy decree, handed it to Emperor Wei's imperial review, and stamped it with the seal before riding a fast horse to Jingyi's mansion. The holy will is clear, and he is degraded to the border to help him leave the army and join the army. It was almost an idle job, but it was just a temporary stay for him to stay away from Kyoto for a few years. Wait for this to pass and then make plans.
"Brother, I was wronged!"
After Xie Zhi left, the first thing Jing Ji did was to go to Jing Huai's mansion to shout grievances. Jing Huai couldn't avoid it, and barely saw that he was already taking risks out of brotherhood, where did he care about any nonsense that he was not wronged about.
"You are glad that you have a life, Cui Qian died in the cage, and Cui Ren was cut off his title again, can you be more wronged than them?"
Jing Huai said, let the housekeeper send the guests, and went back to the study by himself.
"It's a big game of chess, someone is going to start playing, am I right?"
Waiting in the study was Tsukasa Zai Zhu Cong, Jing Huai sighed helplessly, and played a game of chess with Zhu Cong. Whether it was Zhu Cong or Wu Heng, he didn't want to be their enemy, nor did he want to be with them. But is it up to him to choose now? Fortunately, Jing Ji saved his life after this difficulty, and I only hope that he can be cautious in his words and deeds and calm down the situation as soon as possible.
"No wonder I didn't remind you, Biansai is also Wu Heng's person who has the final say, and your brother is only afraid that sooner or later he will get into trouble." Zhu Cong held the black fall, his eyes were watching the changes on the chessboard, but he was talking about the things of the world.
The crisp ink jade was beating on the chessboard, and Jing Huai didn't find a suitable place for a long time. This is a game of dead chess, I don't know when I fell into Zhu Cong's trap again, and I was trapped.
"Alas, I lost again! It's just that poor my second daughter is almost stunned these days. ”
"Poor, isn't my Zhu family's niece pitiful? died in the palace fire, and he couldn't ask for it all his life. ”
Zhu Cong smiled helplessly, they are men from the outside court, how do they know what kind of drama the women in the palace are playing? When the music starts, everyone gathers together happily with you; When the curtain falls, you lead your sorrows, and I lead my sorrows.
