Chapter 55: Old Man Gets a Son
Liu Jianbai, as the earliest group of courtiers of the dynasty, served as a cabinet scholar since the ancestor emperor, assisted the emperor who was not stable at that time to deal with government affairs, and when the new emperor ascended the throne and turned to assist the new emperor, it can be said that he has worked hard, and now he is close to the age of sixteen, and there is only one son under his knees, named Liu Luming.
Liu Ge entered the officialdom at the age of 20, and became the general political envoy of the third product after five years, and only got married at the age of twenty-five, and his wife was seven years younger than him.
Jiangnan has been an important place of trade since ancient times, and the local people are industrious and intelligent, not only the grain output is proud, but also a large number of cash crops are planted, and the annual tax alone accounts for a quarter of the treasury income at that time, the old emperor transferred him here, which shows the trust and importance of him.
Liu Jianbai has had some loyalty and patriotism since he was young, and he was favored by the old emperor, so he was naturally grateful, leaving his wife who had just married and went to Jiangnan thousands of miles away, which took him another five years.
In the past five years, he has not only doubled the tax revenue of Jiangnan by virtue of his ingenuity, but also made the people of Jiangnan richer than the people of Beijing, and his political achievements can be described as brilliant compared with other officials.
The old emperor cherished his talents, and couldn't bear the separation of Liu Jianbai and his wife, and such a capable official, staying in Beijing was far more useful than staying in Jiangnan to do business, so another paper order transferred him back to the capital, and the official position was from the original political envoy from the second grade, and he jumped up and became a cabinet scholar of the first grade.
Liu Jianbai returned to Beijing to become a cabinet scholar, not only did he not take the opportunity to get closer to his wife and have a child, but he seemed to forget that he still had a wife, and stayed in the palace all day to help the emperor draft an edict and deal with government affairs.
Three years later, the prince seized the heir, and the killing was inextricable, Liu Jianbai, a loyal monarch to a somewhat pedantic person, did not accept the pull of either party, but did his job honestly and dutifully, until the second prince succeeded in seizing the heir, and the prince who had been vacant for a long time was settled.
At that time, Liu Jianbai had just passed the year of his establishment, and he became the prince's teacher and was responsible for teaching the prince to handle government affairs.
Two years later, the crown prince ascended the throne, as a teacher, Liu Jianbai's status naturally rose, and he became an emperor at a young age, the old emperor reigned for only ten years, and he was in a hurry, the domestic situation was still unstable, and the frontier was often harassed, and the new emperor was difficult to support alone.
It wasn't until one time that he couldn't hold it anymore, fell seriously ill, and was forcibly left at home by the emperor's order to recuperate, that he remembered that he had been busy for most of his life, and he had no children and no daughters, and he was nearly forty years old at this time.
Although Mrs. Liu complained about his cold behavior, as a young lady from a big family, she would not say much. She had already had the idea of having a child, how could she help the good land but no cultivators, and it was useless to say anything, so this time she took advantage of Liu Jianbai's cultivation and talked about it with him.
Liu Jianbai also felt that this matter should not be delayed any longer, so he planned to wait for the illness to get better, and the two of them did something serious.
But after years of exhaustion, where is it so easy to recover, this disease is half a year, and it is not easy to wait for the illness to get better, and the husband and wife are also working together and have been busy for half a year. I don't know if it's because I've been sick for half a year, or if the two of them are really old, and there is no movement in the stomach, so the two of them panicked, and all kinds of home remedies have been tried one by one, but there is still no change.
Liu Jianbai took a year off directly, which was the first since the founding of the dynasty, and he has been hiding at home and giving birth to children. So in the end, he simply gave up, he felt that it might be that the time had not come, so he went back to continue to be his Liu Ge is old, of course, when he comes back at night, the husband and wife should still be busy and busy, and the time to wait is two years.
Finally on this day two years later, Mrs. Liu vomited so badly that she thought she had eaten a bad stomach, so she asked Langzhong to check that the No. 1 pulse was actually a happy pulse, and Steward Liu hurriedly went to the palace to find Liu Ge Lao to convey the good news.
At that time, Liu Jianbai was dealing with some paperwork, and the housekeeper trotted all the way to Wuying Palace, and shouted before he entered the door: "Master, Madame is happy!" ”
Under this shout, all the scholars in the hall listened to it, and congratulated one after another, Liu Jianbai also blushed, and hurriedly returned the salute and left.
When Liu Jianbai walked away, there was a burst of laughter in the house, and these colleagues thought the same as the king's authority at that time: Liu Ge should be old and strong, old and strong.
As a cabinet scholar and a teacher of the prince, Liu Ge Lao, who treats these phoenix sons and grandsons is notoriously harsh, and if he is slightly unsatisfactory, he will serve the hand, the princess will be obedient and obedient when he sees him, and the princes will be even more stunned when they see him, why? Because the princess has golden branches and jade leaves, at most one hand by one, the princes are not so particular, and they pump directly according to their buttocks.
Liu Gelao, who was a father for the first time in his forties, loved his son very much and doted on this hard-won son. Even for the princes and princesses in the palace, it is also a lot more relaxed.
The emperor saw that the princes who had been successful in their studies had gone downhill, and he had no choice but to politely dismiss the imperial teacher who had taught him. Liu Ge is old, and the country is gradually stable and prosperous, so he is happy to be idle, and he goes home to teach his son after doing the work of the cabinet every day.
Liu Luming can be said to have placed deep expectations on Liu Jianbai, Liu Jianbai hopes that his son will study hard like himself, and participate in the imperial examination to become an official in the future and take over his position.
But the reality is always cruel, in terms of reading, his son can be said to have no roots at all, a poem that other children can memorize in an hour, and when it comes to Liu Luming, he didn't memorize it all for three days.
If you want to say that the stupid bird can fly first, but Liu Luming is reincarnated late, it doesn't matter, he procrastinates in doing everything, and his curiosity is still very heavy, every time he recalls the book, he is attracted by the sound outside, and then sneaks out, and he doesn't go home until the night, and every time he goes home, he must be disgraced.
Asked him what he was doing, his answer could always make Liu Jianbai so angry that he almost turned his back on him, today he went to the blacksmith shop, tomorrow he went to the carpenter shop, or the porcelain factory, the most outrageous time was to see someone outside the funeral, followed the team number of an afternoon of mourning, people saw him work hard, and rewarded him with a few pennies...... was so angry that Liu Jianbai, who never beat his son, slapped him on the ass a few times, and strictly ordered him not to sneak out in the future.
But Liu Luming didn't remember to eat, and he agreed with tears in his eyes the day before, and ran out secretly the next day. Old man Liu also completely lost his temper, just this one son, he was reluctant to fight, so he simply let him go, and he didn't ask him to enter the court as an official, just don't get into trouble, I hope that when I get old in the future, I can marry a daughter-in-law to be more stable.
Unexpectedly, Liu Luming was an idle master, and later he didn't go out, and he began to start his family again. He specially found a room as a working room, and jingled in it all day, and almost set the house on fire several times, but this time he was touched by the king's power.
