Chapter 732: Urgent Edict (I)
Eleven Niang was also a little worried.
A few years ago, there was a royal history of impeachment of the minister's house for wantonly encroaching on private land, and the Zhou family was also on the list. The emperor ordered these nobles to return the fields, and invited them into the palace to admonish them. In spite of this, there are still some imperial relatives Yang Feng Yin disobeyed, with small fields to return to Datian, or hidden reports, Chen Ge Lao wrote, begging the emperor to take back the official land used by the ministers and nobles to serve as a fortune, and the imperial court paid for the years.
Because the matter is too wide-ranging, the matter is big, and it is the New Year, and the emperor has an excuse to celebrate the New Year.
Zhou Shizheng once approached Xu Lingyi for this matter: "...... Without Zhuangtian and relying on the imperial court to pay for the year, shouldn't we live by looking at the faces of the household department and the inner government at that time? You also know that in those things that are given by the household department, the official quality is not big, but the official flavor is full, and when the time comes, we will have to deal with these people, the silver is small, and I am afraid that the dignity of the family of the minister and noble will be completely gone...... Yinghua, this matter must not be allowed, you must oppose it to the end. β
If the land is recovered, the loss of the Xu family is not small - not to mention that the first emperor gave Mrs. Tai two longevity fields covering an area of 100 hectares, which is the horse farm of Baoding Mansion, which is also a field.
One stone hit a thousand waves, not to mention that it is related to his own interests, Xu Lingyi has heard about it a long time ago, and said with a wry smile: "Let's look at the emperor's opinion first."
Zhou Shizheng was quite displeased when he saw that he was not very active: "Yinghua, this is not our family's business, don't make everyone feel cold." β
It was as if everyone was looking up to him.
"Am I not living by giving land?" Xu Lingyi frowned, "But this is just the year name changed, what does the emperor think, I don't have any spectrum in my heart, now is not the time to rely on the courage of the horseman"
"Otherwise, how can I come to discuss with you" Zhou Shizheng's eyes widened, "The emperor also announced that I had entered the palace a few days ago, and it was all about how you have been in the past few years, and the matter of encircling the land. I don't care about others, I'll just act according to your eyes."
"In that case, what do you have to worry about?" Xu Lingyi smiled, "You just follow me."
"Am I not worried?" Zhou Shizheng muttered, "Others don't know about your family's affairs, I don't know your family's affairs yet, your family's sacrificial fields are many, and Mrs. Tai's longevity field can also be converted into a sacrificial field at that time, no matter what, the emperor can't also collect your family's sacrificial field, right?" What's more, you still have the filial piety in the army, 100,000 taels a year, right? Why don't I want to put gold on the emperor's face, but I also have to be able to afford it? Not to mention anything else, to this day, several old ladies of my great-grandfather's generation still have to give three hundred taels of silver every year, and they can't be broken in my hands, right? I can't afford this reputation. After speaking, he was still puzzled, and called the lantern, "Tell the person in your kitchen, I want to stay here to eat, first bring me a steamed abalone, and then give me a cuigai shark fin, stir-fried sea cucumber, roasted rΗ pig, catch whole sheep ......"
Dare to lie on Xu Lingyi's habitual drunkard chair like this and order these dishes aggressively, which in itself shows the love between Zhou Shizheng and Xu Lingyi. The lantern naturally didn't say a word, respectfully responded, repeated the dish ordered by Zhou Shizheng, there was no mistake, and he lowered his eyebrows and retreated.
Xu Lingyi said with a smile: "I still have good Jinhua wine here, do you want to come to a few jars?" β
"Of course I have to come to a few altars" Zhou Shizheng said unceremoniously, "Not only that, but the old Junmei who was rewarded by the emperor to Mrs. Tai during the New Year also secretly came out to taste it" He said, touching his neck that was already slightly convex, "Eating such a supplement, Longjing and Wuyi can't stand it."
Xu Lingyi laughed: "You think you are still a child, 'steal something out and taste it'." As he spoke, he instructed the little guy on the side, "Go and talk to Mrs. Tai, the junior of the Zhou family is here, and she wants to steal her old man's eyebrows." β
After a while, the little maid came over with a half-catty white background blue and white porcelain altar: "Mrs. Tai said, bring it back to Lord Zhou to taste." β
Zhou Shizheng took it with a smile.
A meal was eaten until the moon was on the willow tops before saying goodbye.
Eleven Niang served Xu Lingyi to change clothes: "Is Master Hou 'immortals fighting, mortals suffering'?" β
"Immortals fight, mortals suffer" Xu Lingyi muttered this sentence twice, and said with a smile, "Your two sentences are appropriate." Then he waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to change his daily robe, put on his middle coat and sat on the big kang near the window, picked up the teacup and took a sip, and sighed: "Receiving a field or something, it's just an excuse." Who doesn't know that this matter is a big matter, and one accidentally offended all the public chatters of Da Zhou. Chen Ge just wanted to use this incident to test the emperor's attitude towards him, and he would know where the bottom line was when he acted in the future. Why else would you have chosen the time of the Chinese New Year to write this recital? If you are afraid and want to try Chen Ge Lao's attitude, then you will definitely not agree to the matter of receiving the field. In this way, the courtiers write the same book, the cabinet discusses, and there is no certainty for a year or two, so why should we jump out and add 1uan? If you are not careful, you will be caught by those courtiers and take a gun, which will make the emperor embarrassed......" Speaking of this, he condensed slightly, "I'm afraid that the emperor will have the heart to rectify the dynasty and approve Chen Ge Lao's performance...... Will it be difficult then? β
Xu Lingyi is the emperor's uncle, and when the time comes, the minister's house will all depend on him. If he obediently let the emperor take Citian back, he will be a sinner in the Gongqing's family in the future, and the Xu family may be excluded from this circle; If he argues with the emperor, the emperor's new monarch is the time to establish his authority, and maybe he happened to show Xu Lingyi to kill JΔ« to the monkey.
The best way is to shift everyone's attention to the queen's mother's mother's family, but the queen's father is Zhou Shizheng, his good friend from childhood to adulthood......
"Since the emperor is not staying in China, he must have his thoughts." Eleven Niang took the loafers and changed them for him, "As Master Hou said to Lord Zhou, let's see the situation and then talk about it." There are always more ways than difficulties."
"There are always more ways than difficulties," Xu Lingyi listened to Zhengse, "I have another witty word from a good wife." β
Seeing his pretended appearance, Eleven Niang burst out laughing.
Xu Lingyi took the opportunity to hold her in his arms......
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look slightly hot, the carriage also stopped, and the careful voice of the mother-in-law with the car came in through the curtain: "Madam, the inn has arrived."
Eleven Niang was busy with her thoughts, and glanced at the two daughters-in-law with some weakness, Jiang's expression was a little dazed, and Yingniang was waiting for her answer with anticipation, her expression was within the normal range, and her heart was settled.
"Your father-in-law has always been cautious, nothing will happen"
Ying Niang listened and nodded, hurriedly took the lead out of the carriage, turned around and helped Eleven Niang get out of the carriage, Jiang's, Xu Sizhen, Xu Sijie and a large group of maids and women followed, and surrounded her into the West Cross Courtyard under the bag.
Jiang Shi hurriedly instructed the maids to change the bedding and utensils they brought, and arranged for the mother-in-law to boil water and cook on the stove.
Eleven Niang sat at the square table in the hall and counted the days.
It's been almost three months, and everyone has been waiting and watching for a long time, and it's time to discuss it again...... The emperor was in such a hurry to find Xu Lingyi to enter the palace, was it for this matter?
At night, she slept a little restlessly, and rushed to Yanjing at dawn the next day, and arrived at night when the lights were held.
Xu Lingyi has not returned.
Mrs. Tai was puzzled: "What? Aren't you guys together? β
Eleven Niang didn't want Mrs. Tai to worry, and said with a smile: "I met Lord Zhou at the city gate, and Lord Hou was called by him."
Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this: "It's probably not good to be pulled away by him." I don't think you should wait for him today, rest early. It would be nice if people could come back tomorrow."
Eleven Niang smiled and responded "yes", and coaxed Mrs. Tai to rest with the second lady.
The second lady sent her out and said, "I heard that the emperor wants to take back the land given by the princess?" If that's the case, let's not lose the big because of the small, whatever the emperor says, we will do well. Only the emperor has you in his eyes, how can you have less food to eat. β
"I will convey the words of the second sister-in-law to Master Hou." Eleven Niang felt that they were just showing things in the court, and it was better to say less of this kind of comfort, so as not to affect Xu Lingyi's judgment.
Seeing that she was not interested, the second lady nodded and went back to the house.
Jiexiang gave her a scatter and said in a low voice: "Second lady, some people like yΓΉ orchids, and some people like yΓΉ hairpin flowers." The fourth lady likes the things of the inner house, you said it, and she doesn't understand it. β
The second lady smiled faintly and did not make a sound.
Yuuka breathed a sigh of relief, served her to rest, helped tuck the quilt corners, and turned off the lights before walking out lightly.
A long sigh sounded in the silent room shrouded in night: "She doesn't need to care about this, naturally someone will help her...... Speaking of which, she's also a blessed one."
Eleven Niang went back to the house and asked Amber to find a few cleverly conceived handkerchiefs from the bottom of the box: "Send it to the Weibei Hou Mansion?" See if Wei Beihou is at home or not? β
Listening to Xu Lingyi, the Lin family also gave a lot of land. If it was about receiving the field, it would be impossible for the Lin family to sit firmly in Diaoyutai
Amber quickly turned back: "Marquis Lin is at home, Mrs. Lin said thank you, Marquis Lin is in a hurry about receiving the field, wait for two days, she will come to see you." β
Eleven Niang nodded and sat in the room pondering.
In this way, Xu Lingyi's entry into the palace has nothing to do with the matter of receiving the field? In that case, why did you stay in the palace for the night?
She fell asleep, and the next day she opened her eyes and asked, "Does Master Hou have a letter?" β
Leng Xiang, who was on duty, hurriedly said: "Master Hou came back yesterday, and when I saw that my wife had rested, I was afraid that I would be arguing with you, so I rested in the outer study." β
Xu Lingyi likes to put her to sleep in the middle of the night, and then take advantage of her sleepy eyes to do what she does, and also says beautifully: "You look the best when you are mushy"
Eleven Niang was stunned.
I was neatly dressed, and I didn't care about breakfast, so I went to Xu Lingyi's outer study.
