Chapter 207: Sitting on the ground and dividing the accounts
Standing beside Shen Congxi's bed, the prince said to Shen An: "This time, it can be regarded as forcing us to make the relationship clear, Cao Baoli wants to do it again, and he will never spare him." Lord Shen, you have to make some arrangements for the safety of the Shen Mansion, don't give them a chance. ”
"Prince, what kind of world is this?" Mrs. Shen cried again: "Don't good people have a way to live? Shen An hurriedly pulled her out: "Women's family, what nonsense." Don't mess with the prince! ”
The prince could only endure it now, so he had to pretend not to hear Shen Furao's question, and turned around and asked Haitang: "Why did you think of leaving the palace and going to Sun's mansion today?" ”
Haitang smiled: "Finally there is a good thing: Gu Mansheng is happy." I had prescribed a prescription for her to sit on the fetus before, so now I went to see her, and by the way, I checked the pulse to see if she needed a safe fetus. ”
"That's a good thing indeed! The grandson waited for a long time to hug his grandson, and this time he finally got his wish. Xie Ruijiao asked with a smile again: "When did we have such a good thing?" ”
Haitang's face flushed, and he said angrily: "Lord Shen is still here, these are not serious!" ”
Shen Congxi's anesthetic gradually passed, and he was secretly in a cold sweat, and he barely squeezed out a smile: "Han Bai and Shizi are about to get married, seeing that you are all so happy, I want to marry a daughter-in-law." ”
"That's right, that's what you're supposed to do!" Mrs. Shen, who walked in again, clapped her hands and smiled: "Tell Mother, have you taken a fancy to any girl?" It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I'll arrange it for you, and when you're healed, you'll ......"
Shen Congxi's head is big: Mother, I'll just talk casually......
"Let Ling Yun and Ling Xue send you to the Sun Mansion, I'll wait for you here, and we'll go back to the palace together when you come back." The prince smiled and took Begonia's hand to send her out.
Haitang nodded, and said: "For these three months, let Ji'er stay in the prince's mansion to take care of Lord Shen, with her, I can rest assured." Xie Ruizhu held her hand and kept sending her to the carriage.
Sun Yanxi is going to have a baby.
In this cold battle between the open and the dark, there is finally some joyful warmth, and it is this kind of warmth that makes people refuse to give up the pursuit of sunshine.
Shen Congxi's leg was disabled, and as for whether it was cured or not, Cao Baoli did not pursue it further, his purpose was just to knock on the mountain and shock the tiger. In his opinion, Shen Congxi is just a character, and the prince is the one he has to consider whether to kill them all.
Now, Dao Gu has been successfully canonized as a Dao concubine, and the civil and military officials in the court no longer dare to have any objections to Cao Baoli. It's just that the prince still looks neither humble nor arrogant, and he is disgusted to see it.
"Lord Cao, the golden pill taken by the emperor has been delivered." Wu Liande, the waiter, arrived with a red sandalwood box. Cao Baoli took it and entered the inner hall with the box in his hand.
"Cao Baoli, I feel like I'm a lot younger, and I always have endless energy. It seems that this golden pill is indeed a good thing. The emperor took Concubine Dao's hand and asked with a smile: "Concubine Dao, am I right?" ”
Concubine Dao wrapped the emperor's hand in her palm and said shyly: "The emperor is wise and martial, what's wrong?" "Qi Daogu is the queen's mother to give birth to the emperor, naturally she has a handle in the queen's hand, Zheng is her third generation of single brother, and is in the government envoy Wu Darao's mansion, which is Queen Wu's maiden family.
The General Administration Department is now the ears of the deaf, and the poor decoration is the same as the queen mother in the palace. The queen asked Qi Daogu's younger brother Qi Lefeng to be sent, and Lord Wu couldn't help shaking his head.
Now that the courtiers are in power, how can a child fight with them? But think about it, if there is a child, the queen also has one more way back, and he, as a father, can only help such a gang.
"The emperor thinks it's good, that's the emperor's sincerity in cultivating the Tao, and it's also the blessing of these pills. One day, the emperor will ascend to the immortal, but remember to bring Weichen, Weichen still wants to follow over to serve the emperor. Cao Baoli smiled and retreated, and the emperor's laughter came from behind him.
Concubine Dao was honest and obedient in Wuying Palace, and she was also considerate of the emperor, Cao Baoli was quite satisfied with her, and gradually relaxed her monitoring. Accompanied by Concubine Dao, the emperor didn't even go out of the palace door of Wuying Palace, which made it easier for this group of courtiers to control the emperor.
Cao Baoli staggered out of the palace and rode back to his mansion outside the palace. Over the years, he has also gained a lot of property, purchased a family property outside the palace, and married a wife and a concubine. Except for not being able to give birth to children and not being able to grow a beard, everything else is no different from ordinary people.
"Your Excellency is back home," the porter hurriedly called inside. The guy came out and put down the stool, helped the old man get out of the car, and Cao Baoli entered the hanging flower door with his hands behind his back. The palace in Cao's mansion is not far away, but Cao Baoli loves to ride in a carriage, as if it is a ritual to go home.
"The master is back, Qingdao sent a basket of sea fish, made one, and the rest are frozen in the ice cellar." Madame greeted her with a smile and asked, "Do you want to drink some white wine today?" ”
"Well, add two more pairs of chopsticks, there are guests tonight." Before Cao Baoli's words fell, the guests had already entered the door.
"Lord Cao, this is a treasure here. On the edge of the imperial city, but he doesn't show his corners like that, he is really the same as Lord Cao, who is humble and open! "The person who came was Yin Liu Shenghe, the governor of Nanzhili, and Lin Fujin, the governor of Guangdong and Fujian.
"Lord Liu and Lord Lin are polite, please inside!"
The two adults waved their hands to the back, and several large wooden boxes were carried in, Cao Baoli understood, nodded to the housekeeper Cao Sheng, and Cao Sheng led the people to the backyard. After the three of them took the seats, Lord Liu and Lord Lin began to complain.
Lord Liu opened his mouth first: "Lord Cao, what is the matter with you, King Cheng has reached out to our south, and if this continues, our filial piety will not be able to be delivered......"
"I'm even worse there, Fujian has been turned over by King Cheng, and a group of lonely ministers have been promoted, all of them are unsophisticated students, it's hard to manage!" Lord Lin was so worried that his facial features were about to wrinkle together.
Cao Baoli sneered: "Behind King Cheng is the crown prince. If he dares to stand in the way of our wealth again, I will not sit idly by. You go back and write down all those who are disobedient, and the prince will clean up the ranks, won't we? ”
The two adults hurriedly raised their wine glasses and toasted Cao Baoli, and Lord Lin said: "My lord, we are relieved." After all, it's up to you to settle accounts in the palace now, but in case the crown prince ascends to the throne in the future, it will be difficult to settle accounts with us......"
What are the words! The emperor is still in his prime, and the prince is ...... I have to wait for that talent school" Cao Baoli touched the cups with them separately, and said with a smile: "This is the white wine from the Western Regions, the emperor doesn't like to drink it, so he gave it all to me, and the whole capital can be drunk here." Taste it! ”
Liu and Lin tasted it and were full of praise. Lord Lin asked again: "Now in the limelight, if someone is willing to spend money to buy an official position, can we still accept it?" ”
"In this matter, you go to King Kang. King Kang is still on the road, you look for him, and he will arrange it for you. Cao Baoli smiled: "It's not that we can't do it ourselves, King Kang is now with us all the way, so naturally he has to give him some benefits to taste." Can a cat that tastes fishy go back to being a vegetarian? ”
The two adults hurriedly nodded yes, and when they were full of wine and food, they got up to say goodbye.
Cao Sheng stepped forward and said, "Master, four boxes, a total of 40,000 taels of gold." I'm already in the basement. ”
"It's really less!" Cao Baoli spit out the chewing tea leaves into the cup and put them down, and said to himself: "Since King Kang is on the road, it's time to change the title of King Kang." ”
In King Kang's mansion, King Kang was looking at the list in his hand and said with a smile: "Can a county order be sold for 300,000 taels of silver?" Wouldn't the king be able to get rich casually? ”
He handed the list back to Lord Lin and said, "This king won't look at it, the one with the highest price will have it, you can arrange it." Turning around, he carried half of the silver to Lord Cao's mansion, which was the recommendation fee he deserved. ”
Lord Lin was about to withdraw, but King Kang smiled behind him: "Let's see if there are any waiting lists outside?" Let's call in! Lord Lin responded with a smile. After a while, Lord Liu also walked in with a stack of lists.
After they all left, King Kang smiled and said to Zhou Siyuan: "This king doesn't know that silver can come so easily. I used to always envy the third brother for doing business, but no matter how much money he made, his Lianyun Pavilion was only twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver a month, how could it be so fast? ”
Zhou Siyuan also said with a smile: "The county officials are not as good as the current management, some officials are not big, but they have the right to speak about things, and they can't ask for a lot of money with money." ”
"Oh? Rewarding a sesame official is not a matter of one sentence? If anyone comes to ask, come down. It's just a chair, for whom is it not to sit on? King Kang said disdainfully. King Kang opened his mouth, Zhou Siyuan really found a few people to buy sesame officials, he also saw it, and more or less divided some silver to Cao Baoli.
Cao Baoli strengthened the determination of King Fukang.
