Chapter 546: In the Chongwang Mansion
But there is no way, in this hierarchical society, people's lives are not measured by money, but by fame. www.biquge.info As a captive who fell into the hands of the "enemy", he will either be beheaded or enslaved forever, even if he does not become a slave of silver dust, he will become a slave of others, and he will definitely not end well at that time, even if he is a master of returning to the void, it is the most comfortable ending to be exhausted and die in the dark mine.
Yinchen chatted with Zhao Lingfeng for a few more words, it was nothing more than whether the axe was good or not, whether it needed to be improved, etc., but Zhao Lingfeng shook his head, and he didn't plan to take out the axe, at this time, Ghost Liming was horrified to find that the little master he had recently taken refuge in was actually a terrifying person who could create a holy weapon.
Now he was completely convinced, and decided to sacrifice all his life and loyalty for Silver Dust, just kidding, a holy weapon forger, really want to make up his mind to revive the Demon Pavilion, then a Demon Pavilion equipped with holy weapons...... The picture was so beautiful that the ghost didn't dare to think about it.
......
A month passed peacefully. May of this year is a step-by-step May, a thriving May, a bloody May, and a treacherous May. After Emperor Ling returned to the palace, he could not let go of being besieged and assassinated on the edge of the imperial city, he had to vent his anger, otherwise everyone in the world would think that he was an incompetent emperor. Although he is old, he definitely doesn't want to bear the name of the faint king.
As a result, the blood droplet he trusted the most did not receive any harsh reprimand in this incident, but intensified his temporary privileges, and began to shroud the bloody terror over the entire capital, and as time passed, spread in the direction of the whole country. Civil and military officials, market hooligans, and even peddlers, pawns, and high-rollers were all monitored, investigated, arrested, and tortured by these people, and a large number of people filled the prison of the criminal department set up in another city, and the truly guilty were not beheaded and executed, and the innocent were not released, and they all endured all kinds of cruel punishments in the dark prison, and they all confessed, reported, and exposed, and finally evolved into naked false accusations, and these false accusations became violent means of oppressing the lower classes in the blink of an eye.
The Spirit Emperor really didn't get old and stupid, he drew a red line for his subordinates, those who fought side by side with him, those who sacrificed blood to protect him, and those who he himself thought could not betray, were all excluded from the object of suspicion, and he clearly instructed the blood drops, who were not allowed to move. In this way, those who did not have a deep background, as well as those who did not stand on the same front as the Spirit Emperor himself, were all suffered, and the people directly responsible for the unfavorable prevention in this riot, the pro-northern faction henchmen of Empress Ling Hua, because of their monstrous power, because they controlled the real master guards in the harem, and even just because Empress Ling Hua's eldest son had already reached adulthood and became the person who could replace the Spirit Emperor as the monarch, let them watch the fire from the other side in the next bloody storm without the slightest impact. The cowardly Spirit Emperor did not have the courage to compete with the feminine and scheming queen, let alone the courage to compete with his brother-in-law and prime minister, who was in great power and even dared to be managed by the great eunuchs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so this trend rushed to the Linghuang to vent his anger with a palliative joke that did not cure the root cause, a joke built up with the bones of civilians and low-level officials.
Of course, that's another story.
The changes in Pershing City are not mentioned for the time being, just talking about Yinchen, he was personally rewarded by the Linghuang, because he stepped forward at the most critical moment, saved the Linghuang independently, and saved the meritorious people in all dynasties and dynasties。
Of course, the Spirit Emperor did not completely isolate him from the True Palace. In order to take care of Yinchen's feelings a little, he used a holy decree that was bigger than the sky to draw the entire block next to the Zhenwangfu and set up a big garden for Yinchen.
May is the month of men's sacrifices, and Yinchen has done nothing else in this month, but to follow a large number of people to participate in various sacrificial ceremonies, and worship a large number of gods that no one knows. A month has been even busier, and even Zhao Lingfeng's course has fallen behind.
Regardless of the fact that Yinchen is the same as a marionette, with a mask of hypocrisy and humility and the officials and masters, and don't mention it, Ghost Liming settled down beside Yinchen, and happily studied with him the method of eliminating the backlash and damage to the body, not to mention the idle and lazy life of the true king's father and son who had no sense of existence in the past month, not to mention that He Lao and Ghost Liming did not know each other and became good "chess friends". Speaking of this Pershing City, the scale is comparable to that of the king, and the real king is in the palace of the king, and now it is a good season to cook oil on fire and flourish.
Five years ago, at the same time that Lin Xuanchen and Yinchen were fighting to the death in the Red Blood Demon Realm and breaking through the bloody siege from the crowd of zombies, a great happy event was ushered in in King Chong's Mansion. That Chongming Wangye, originally the half-brother of Zhao Guangyi, is also the younger brother of the current emperor, named Zhao Yuanliang, the most square and rigid, rigid rules of the person, he has no intention of the ninety-five, nor does he like singing and dancing to promote peace, in addition to studying some calligraphy and painting ancient poems, is to do the eight articles, is the prince, the most poisoned by the cynical thoughts, can not rub any sand in the eyes, as long as you see someone misbehaving, the light is scolded, the heavy is corporal punishment, biased to his such a square and regular personality, the most by the party and cynics of the joy of worship, cited as a model of courtiers。 Therefore, since Concubine Ling Hua was promoted to the empress and ruled the Six Palaces, although he was not directly praised by the Spirit Emperor, he also enjoyed many invisible welfare privileges, and he became more and more loyal to the imperial court, and his personality became more and more rigid and stubborn.
He married a wife and three rooms, Dafu Jin Wang, is the daughter of the richest man in Huizhou, the daughter of the Wang family, the beauty is beautiful, but he is strong and fierce, and his temperament is as strong as fire, he entered the Chongwang Mansion, and naturally holds the power of housekeeping, she gave birth to two pairs of children for the prince, the mother is expensive by virtue of the son, promoted to a good life, more and more proud and domineering, but he is a very spoiled husband and son, and Chongwang is extremely harmonious, and treats his son well, so no one dares to manage in the palace, can only let her control the power, the servants and women, the relatives and girls all bow down and obey orders, it is rare to have half of them dare to contradict。
The Wang family has a niece of the family, the appearance is only under Lin Xuanchen, gentle by nature, can sing and dance, Lin Xuanchen "left home to worship her father", she just reached the age of the draft, and entered the palace according to the law of the king, but in the final draft, he was caught by the old man Linghuang, and the title of a concubine was directly lowered, and the people of the entire Chongwang Mansion were smashed to the point of dizziness. According to the rules, when you are a concubine at this level, you naturally have to build a courtyard of provincial relatives, and in the first month of each year, so that the mother can go home to visit her parents, in order to fulfill her filial piety, but this poor girl with the title of Jing Concubine Niangniang, she has no father and mother at a young age, and she actually relied on her aunt to raise her, almost a daughter of her aunt Wang, and the Wang family is also a daughter, and she can't take care of what the soft eggs of the family who are cold-hearted and think about power and wealth every day think about it, and they actually want to build the garden directly in the palace of King Chong. At that time, in addition to showing off his wealth and power, he did not violate any rules, so he was given 1,000 taels of gold by the Emperor Linghuang, encircled a large prosperous block in the east of the palace, dismissed the noble households inside, and established the "Shizuka Courtyard", which was later renamed "Hundred Gardens" because of the hundreds of cherished flowers planted in it.
It took five years for the hundred gardens to be built. The arrogant Wang family and the brainless Chongwang agreed that the more luxurious the provincial family courtyard was built, the more it could show the degree of favor of Jing Concubine in the palace, at that time Jing Concubine was the only one of the Wang family to enter the palace, in the palace alone, and without any foundation, it was inevitable to be targeted, in order to create a momentum for her, increase her value in the palace, Chongwang and his wife had to take the risk of exceeding the regulations to build a large number of buildings, and at that time, the Southern Empire was becoming more and more extravagant, and the provincial family was built by the emperor's decree, so the entire palace and even the Huizhou royal family did everything they could, in this imperial city, built a luxury building complex that was almost not inferior to the palace。 It was really a step by step, pavilions, water pavilions, pavilions and rockeries, to the best of the imagination of craftsmen, but it also quickly hollowed out the family of the richest man in Huizhou, and owed a lot of foreign debts. The foreign debts didn't seem to be much, but under the huge profits of the donkey rolling at that time, even if King Chong finally understood and knew that he had been cheated, he could only secretly say that those foreign debts had accumulated in five years, and they were as high as millions of taels of gold!
This almost drove King Chong crazy. You must know that at this time, their garden has almost been completed, and the extravagance in it is too numerous to mention, this kind of thing cannot be exposed, even if the emperor knows, then only you know and I know, and it is not on the table, but those who borrow debts, all of them are splashed, or they are black-hearted demon sects, almost everyone has three or four guts, even if it is Chongwang's mansion, they dare to come to the door to collect debts, not to mention the construction planning that they also participate in, the matter of Chongwang's overreach, they are the same as Mingjing, they really want to tear their faces and open their voices, and the face of Chongwang's vein will really fall into the stinky puddleTherefore, King Chong didn't dare not pay off his debts, but he couldn't afford to pay them back, so he was so worried that he scratched his head, and a thing that was a funeral on the surface but a happy event behind the scenes fell in front of King Chong.
It turns out that the Linghuang also has a younger sister, born to the palace maid, the background is a little unseemly, although the brocade clothes and jade food, but there is no princess identity, when the Linghuang's father Renhuang was in power, this daughter was passed to Chongwang as a little sister, which is half a relative and half pressed the identity of the maid, who knows that Chongwang treats her really like a sister, and when she is an adult, under the auspices of the eldest brother of Chongwang, she married Lin Ruhai, who was in the limelight at that time. That Lin Ruhai's ancestral home is Gusu, both civil and military, although the background is not particularly prominent, but it is also a scholarly family, known as the seventh famous family. Zhao Yunfang married into the Ling family for less than a year, Lin Ruhai was transferred back to his hometown to be a salt inspector, that is the real commissioner, special affairs, and even in the blood drops, he is the actual title of the fourth-class admiral, although he is just a "petty official" of the second grade, but he is a guy who even the governor of Shanghai and Hangzhou can't afford to provoke. Lin Ruhai has been in office for more than ten years, and his work has made remarkable achievements, of course, all kinds of bribes are indispensable in his pocket, plus the background of a seven-jinshi, and he is particularly good at business, so he naturally saved an extremely rich family foundation, but he is a hard-working person, although the husband and wife are harmonious, but they only gave birth to a little daughter, but they are weak and sickly since childhood, although it does not cost much money to raise, but it is very laborious, although Lin Ruhai married a concubine, but it is an "embroidered pillow" that cannot be conceived in the stomach , all day long only know how to apply grease and powder, the beauty is outside, empty in it, and there has been nothing in the past ten years. As a result, just a year before Lin Xuanchen went to the secret realm, both husband and wife suddenly fell seriously ill and died violently, leaving only a lonely and soft little girl. When the Chongwang couple learned of such a thing, they were sad and sad at first, after all, they were the little sister who had been with them for decades, but then they relieved themselves and thought about it, isn't the property of this little sister and her brother-in-law just enough to pay off the debt?
On the surface, King Chong first managed this shocking wealth for Lin Xuanchen, and when Lin Xuanchen got married, he gave it to her, but in fact, he did not hesitate to use the money to pay off the debt, and actually repaid the remaining more than 100,000 taels of gold, which was also used by the powerful Wang family to squander a vacant and soft thing in a hundred gardens, and he didn't think about leaving a penny for Lin Xuanchen.
Of course, this matter is hidden from Lin Xuanchen, after all, a little girl who is more than ten years old is frail and sickly, and she can't control such a large amount of amazing wealth well. Chongwang has a square personality, is also relatively bright, and has some sympathy, he feels that his little niece is too pitiful, and he took the property of the Lin family, so he naturally wants to plan for the girl of the Lin family, so he has been raising her in the house, so she is used to it, what poems, calligraphy, calligraphy and paintings are nine rings and the like, she likes it, she tries to give it as much as possible, and she also invited an old lady doctor in the palace to diagnose her pulse and regulate her pulse. Outsiders who don't know the truth know it, and they still think that it is a virtue for him to be sympathetic to the weak and help his relatives. That Chongwang's wife, Wang, is a tofu-mouthed and knife-hearted guy, she agrees with Chongwang's thoughts, thinking that she still owes something to Lin Xuanchen, but in her heart she has never been impressed by the Lin family's assets.
