Concubine De suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, "That's impossible, the courtiers won't agree, the position of queen is not something anyone can do." ”

Ning Yue: ...... The courtiers also said that the child in Su Linglong's belly couldn't be kept, isn't it okay now?

"If you want the palace to say, staying in the palace will not get half of the emperor's pity, in fact, leaving the palace is not necessarily a bad thing, now everyone knows that there is a demon concubine in the palace, and nothing will harm people.

There is also an exaggeration, the demon concubine will also eat people, and most of the concubines who are sent home at this time are still sympathetic, as long as they are quietly cats at home for a year or two, the matter will pass, and then they want to get married, or do they want to make some livelihood to support themselves? ”

Concubine De pursed her lips, this is true, but she still doesn't want to be sent home, she doesn't have the same good life as the queen's mother, Zhenguo Gong is a well-known favorite daughter, if she wants the stars not to give the moon, she really wants to be driven out of the palace, and she is not far from death.

When it comes to the demon concubine, Concubine Shufei has something to say, "It's also strange to say, that woman has been pregnant for several months, except that her belly is bigger, her figure is not half out of shape, she obviously looked like that when she entered the palace, but now she looks more and more charming, I can't remember what she was like at the beginning." ”

Concubine De: "Maybe she's really a goblin, otherwise how can she hook the emperor and don't even want to give us half of his eyes?" ”

Ning Yue deliberately scared her: "If you know that she is a goblin, don't provoke her, in addition to being able to demagogue, goblins can also harm people!" ”

Concubine De and the three of them couldn't help but shudder when Ning Yue said this, "We remember Niangniang's words."

Anyway, without Su Linglong, Emperor Su would not have looked at them more, so he would simply stay away, so as not to bring himself to death, thinking of Mi Cairen's death, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little palpitating!

Concubine De didn't want to mention Su Linglong again, so she bluntly changed the topic: "The emperor's birthday is still half a month, but unfortunately it is impossible to hold a birthday banquet during the filial piety period, but we still have to send some gifts to the emperor, the queen has thought about what to give?" ”

As soon as Ning Yue was asked, she really didn't know that the emperor's birthday was coming, and she remembered it when she was reminded by Concubine Shu.

In the original book, this birthday banquet was mentioned, and an assassin followed the troupe who entered the palace to celebrate his birthday and mixed into the palace, the emperor was going to be seriously injured, and it was the original owner who was stupid to block an arrow for him to pick up a life, but unfortunately Xuanyuan Hao, the white-eyed wolf, didn't appreciate it at all, and didn't even look at the queen more, so he went to care about her careful fingers.

Now that the Queen Mother is dead, and all feasting and entertainment activities in the palace have stopped, those assassins can't come.

Concubine Shu said: "Concubine Yi said, what kind of birthday is not a birthday, let's not mention it at all, and what gifts will we receive if we don't hold a banquet?" The good things in the concubine's hands just want to keep them for the mother. ”

She had already received a letter from her family to the palace, and the third son of the Zhenguo Mansion had saved her younger brother, otherwise their family would be doomed.

The emperor is generous to himself, but he is picky and ranciful to the queen, and he has had several birthdays when he was the princess before, but since he ascended the throne, he has never held a birthday banquet for the queen, and it can be seen that the emperor has no sincerity towards the queen, and the true feelings in the past are pretended.

Recently, she observed that Niangniang seemed to have some preference for warm jade, and most of the jade pendants and bracelets she wore were made of warm jade, so she wrote a letter to her father to ask her father to help find it, presumably it won't be long before her father was able to send things to the palace.

Concubine De glared at Concubine Shu: "Give you ten taels." ”

"Why are you giving me money?" Concubine Shu was puzzled.

"You took the previous sentence and let me do it."

Concubine Xian also joined in the fun: "I'll give ten taels of gold, let me come." ”

A few palace maids guarding outside the palace door heard the laughter of several ladies in the inner hall, and then looked at each other and smiled, the concubines were harmonious, and their days of personal service were better!

……

The next day, Liang Yushi suddenly impeached the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials for selling official mantles, and accepted at least more than one million taels, and there was an uproar in the court for a while.

Xuanyuan Hao, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair in a daze, sat up straight all of a sudden, Zhang Chengwang took refuge in him when he was still a prince, at that time he was a small six-rank official, because he was promoted several times to become the fourth-grade right attendant, and he was also his cronies.

Damn, how could this wrongdoer not be one of those officials he didn't like, or he would have taken this opportunity to get rid of them all!

Liang Yushi said categorically: "The minister received a few account books a few days ago, and looked at them with curiosity, and saw the dense records on them, who received how much money and how many things were given to what officials, not only that, but the evaluation of officials can also be bought, as long as the silver is given, the difference can become medium, and the middle can become excellent."

The minister thought that this account book was fake, and someone deliberately framed Lord Zhang, but after checking it, he found that the reputation of those people who appeared in the account book was not very good, but the annual performance appraisal was just passed, among which there was a small official named Feng Guangzhao from the ninth grade, and it took only eight years to become the seventh grade county order, and the silver taels he used to buy officials and buy performance appraisals were as high as 10,000 taels! ”

Sky! In eight years, he was promoted from a nine-rank minor official to a seven-rank county order, but he was promoted by four levels, and the performance appraisal of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty was evaluated once a year, but it was a three-year term, how many good things did this Feng Guangzhao have to do to be promoted so quickly?

Moreover, how many are the Qipin County Orders in a year? The officials of the Great Xia Dynasty mainly came from several aspects: silver, grain, professional fields, servants, and some in-kind rewards.

In addition, officials can enjoy a free lunch.

But all of these add up, and the annual income of a small Qipin county order will definitely not exceed one hundred taels of silver.

But the silver that sealed the light is as high as 10,000 taels of bribes, so where did he get all this silver?

Moreover, it is simply a qualitative leap from the ninth rank to the seventh grade, even if it is impossible to evaluate the performance every year, because the promotion of the Great Xia Dynasty has strict rules, and the officials who are not selected through the imperial examination can at most be the eighth grade, that is to say, the officials above the seventh rank must be at least Jinshi.

If a high school jinshi wants to be an official, he must be at least a seventh-grade official.

Therefore, not to mention that this little official will be promoted to a seven-grade county order in eight years, even eighty years will be impossible.

Xuanyuan Hao's face was gloomy, "What about the account books?" Bring in the books! ”

Liang Yushi hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the three account books, "These account books have been recorded since eight years ago at the earliest, but there are a few missing in the middle, and the remaining two are from the year before and last year, so I think there should be account books in the hands of the other party." ”
