Time-traveling Bastards Are Politics

Chapter 502 Timely
That's why I said, even if I don't say it, someone will say that this matter is inevitable, it is what he thinks in his heart, and he will agree. Do you think he is a wise king who listens to advice? "

"I know this. It's just that it's difficult for us to participate in this matter. As we said before, it's easy to drag it down. What's more difficult is what happens later. How do we choose someone who the previous emperor couldn't choose? He like this If we don’t understand anything, they will be criticized, if we randomly find someone to go up there, I’m afraid people will have more opinions than this, and then it will be king-killing and usurping the throne, and everyone will be punished.”

"It's hard to do, don't you want to take revenge? Actually, the revenge of the Bai family has already been avenged, but he also participated in the affairs of the Bai family, as well as the affairs of the Fengwang Mansion. I don't deny that the winner and the loser, The road to succession itself involves bloodshed and sacrifices. Those who follow me prosper, those who oppose me perish, and those who are not used by me will be killed. This is also normal. But I can't accept this. The person in the middle sits in that position. When I think of his mother, he, so early, started to think about this matter, I can't let go of revenge. "

Thinking of these things, Feng Yong even felt a little lucky that Bai Lan reminded her in time.

"It's just a small matter between servants, why do you bother? If you don't like it, just transfer him away and stop hanging around you, isn't that all right? There are so many positions in the mansion, are you afraid that there is no place to arrange them? The post-sealing ceremony It’s great joy, why are you unhappy here.”

"But this king just isn't happy. The mansion already has so little money, but it's still being embezzled every day, filling its own pockets, letting the mansion go up and down, eating chaff and swallowing vegetables, and the things used are not as good as ordinary people. If you continue like this, who will you be?" Will you be willing to help me with my affairs? Although I don’t have much money and live a simple life, it doesn’t mean that all the servants will follow suit, right?”

"As the lord said, there is a way for the lower officials."

"This king is willing to listen to Qin Siyi's words."

"Since someone is filling his own pocket and letting the whole house eat chaff and vegetables, and the prince can't punish him, that's easy. Let him take that position, but the cost of food and clothing is the same as that of a beggar on the street. Everyone else returns to normal. Show the chicken to the monkey. In this way, no one will dare to do this kind of thing in the future. It will be the same for those who receive kickbacks in the future. Whoever violates the rules will bear all the impact. Anyway, the people in the mansion, slaves The citizenship is in the hands of the lord, you can't escape privately, and the children you have are also slaves, so why should the lord bother."

"Qin Siyi is really well-informed. This method is very good. If this continues, no one will dare to do this. However, it is still difficult for me to find out how much he has enriched himself. This will be very troublesome."

"Naturally, you can't find out the general method, but there is a method, the prince might as well try it. For a certain period of time, let a few servants of the same level in the mansion change positions with each other, and you will know if anyone is tricked. If someone is profitable in a position, he is definitely not willing to change positions, and even if he is willing, the next person who changes will not be willing. In this way, the prince can easily know what position in the mansion is tricky , where is there no oil and water?"

"Qin Siyi is not an ordinary person. It seems that Fang Shanggong is lucky. All of his subordinates are talented. The future development of the Shangyi Bureau must be like the sun, and it will get better every day."

"What the lord said, I dare not be in the Shangyi Bureau. The Shangyi Bureau is just a group of embroiderers who make clothes. No matter how they develop, they are also making clothes. What can they do? But the lord said so, and the officials are very happy , which means that the Shangyi Bureau is on duty, and the masters are very satisfied."

"Look at what Fang Shanggong said, this Shangyi Bureau's craftsmanship is not good, who else has good craftsmanship? If you say that the clothes of Shangyi Bureau are not satisfactory, I'm afraid it's not that the craftsmanship is not good, but that it doesn't meet your requirements. , but this is not right, the adults in Shangyi Bureau are all understanding, how could this happen? Impossible, this king is wrong."

"It's because we are considerate, it's because the masters are generous and don't want to argue with us, everyone is doing things for the masters, even if the master is dissatisfied, it's our responsibility, it's because we didn't understand the meaning of the master , isn't it?"

"If everyone has the idea of ​​Fang Shanggong, I'm afraid there will never be any rumors of discord between master and servant."

"The princess seems to be a tolerant and good master. Why do you have such a sigh? I heard that the princess dresses very simply in the palace. This is right and should be a model. She can put the country's difficulties in her own hands. It’s rare to see people who have changed their bodies, and a female like the princess also has this idea, she really is no better than a woman.”

"Fang Shanggong is absurd. I just don't like too much extravagance. How can I say that. I am already very happy if I didn't cause trouble to the Shangyi Bureau. The rewards are all sent there directly Yes. Otherwise, I don’t want to cause trouble for the Shangyi Bureau, I keep it by myself, and I can’t wear so much at ordinary times.”

"No, no, the princess's clothes should have been made by the Shangyi Bureau. Why do you bother the princess? Besides, it's not our business whether the princess wears it or not. We must do it well for emergencies. Shang No matter how many things there are in the clothing bureau, it is impossible to take a vacation, so you can only do your own thing well, and being able to help the princess make clothes is the blessing of the clothing bureau."

"Where, the adults of the Shangyi Bureau are skilled in craftsmanship and make excellent clothes. It is a honor to be able to wear the clothes made by the Shangyi Bureau. Look at the ladies at this banquet, which one is not rewarded by wearing them? What about clothes for pride?"

"These clothes are all rewards, it is a great honor, everyone is naturally proud of it, but it is not because the clothes are made by the Shang Yi Bureau, but because the clothes are rewarded by the nobles, princess, do you think this is the case?" reason?"

"Master Fang Shanggong is a bit self-deprecating. In fact, the clothing bureau represents the aesthetics and trend of the palace, and the fabric is only a part of it. Of course, those fabrics are rewarded by the nobles, which is a good thing, but the aesthetic trend of the palace is not random. You can spy on it casually, so there is still a part of the credit of the Shangyi Bureau. For example, how to make auspicious clothes that satisfy everyone's aesthetics while complying with etiquette is already very difficult. Ji It demands so much."

"Princess Kua, the officials don't know what to say. Although auspicious clothes need to conform to etiquette, there are still many things that can be used. Unless those unlucky things are not available, most of them are still okay. There is still a lot of room. Yes. Besides, everyone hopes that they can go smoothly and have some good omens, and they won’t make things difficult for themselves and use some unlucky things on their auspicious clothes, right?”

"Fang Shanggong is right, but common things are more common, and things that are too common are easy to repeat."

"This is wrong. For example, Qu Sizhu's clothes, although most of them are lotus patterns, but they are all very different. During the period, there is room for use in matching, embroidery, and decoration. Qu Sizhu's auspicious clothes , from ordinary female officials to official decorations, there are several items, none of which are repeated, let alone those masters who are not very picky, there are more options."

"The lotus is a good thing. The literati said that it comes out of the mud but is not stained, and it is clean and not demonic. It is also said that it is in the mud and the mud is not stained. No one knows that the white stems are buried in the ground. The vitality is red, green and clear, and it does not wait for the wind. The pond is filled with fragrance. It can be seen that the lotus is a holy and noble flower, and such a flower is naturally good. Moreover, the lotus is also called the water lotus, and I think it also has the meaning of glory."

"I didn't expect the princess to be knowledgeable and talented. The lower official likes the lotus because of its appearance. However, the lower official has never read any books, so I can't say the princess's poems."

"Qu Si Decoration doesn't have to be so self-deprecating, Qu Si Decoration is as good as Qu Si Decoration, if you give those things to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell them apart."

"Why do you both praise each other, making it seem too unfamiliar. In fact, since everyone is sitting together, it is fate, and it is not very comfortable to come and go like this."

"Qin Siyi is right. What's the point of flattering each other like this? It sounds good. The king and the princess are masters. It's not good to say that everyone is a slave. Everyone is working for the emperor. Isn't it right? You're being polite, besides, it's good for everyone to sit together and have a good chat, but it's really rusty to talk about those flattering things."

"The prince's words are polite. You are also our master. You treat us as your own family, but we can't go too far. If you go too far, then we are overstepping. In terms of official positions, the princes and princesses are all higher in rank than us, high and low. , we still understand."

"Fang Shanggong is too worried. You look at the civil and military affairs of the court. Who really treats this king as a prince? This king has long since ignored it. Besides, the things that this king is responsible for are not like other princes. Everyone looks down on him." It's normal. A man's family is actually busy in the deep palace, how can everyone look down on him?"

"My lord's words are wrong. In fact, the emperor let him be in charge of these things because he trusts him. This is something other adults can't envy. You see, the emperor is worried about everyone entering and leaving the inner palace. Prince Du, isn't this a sign of the emperor's trust?"

"What Fang Shanggong said is not unreasonable, but everyone is a courtier. If other adults are asked to do this, I am afraid that other adults can also do it. After all, this king is still an idler, and only idlers can do it." Will be sent to take care of these trivial matters, don't you think? Like marching and fighting, disaster relief, no matter what happens, I will never find this king."

"When marching and fighting, there are military generals. For disaster relief, the big ones usually send relatives of the emperor, and the small ones usually send local civil servants. How can they bother the prince? Compared with the status of the prince, those are trivial matters. Besides, the emperor looks at it." The prince in the middle, he is not willing to risk his life, so he keeps the prince by his side, but the prince thinks so, he really failed the good intentions of the emperor. You see, the emperor went to fetch the prince himself not long after he became the throne, Doesn't this mean that the emperor likes the prince?"

"The emperor is naturally very kind to this king. Otherwise, he would not have married his beloved sister to this king. It's just that this king hopes to do more things for the country. Look at so many things now, but this king is not happy. It’s a little bit reconciled to be busy with these small things here.”

"What the prince said is that the Qi family governs the country and the world. What the prince does is to help the emperor to regulate the family. The emperor's harem is stable, and he has no worries. Only then can he have the energy to govern the country and become a generation of Mingjun. Besides, the draft and the empress are things like that. , This is a major national event. The emperor's heir is the foundation of the country, and the prince is responsible for such an important matter, so why not be reconciled? It seems that the word shoulder to shoulder with the king is to serve the country. Is Xia Ge always teaching and educating people in the capital for the court? Cultivating virtuousness is not serving the country? Everyone just has different methods. The prince comes from a loyal family, so he naturally has the pride of serving the country. However, compared with marching and fighting outside, the current emperor needs more like the prince to help him Manage the virtuous courtiers in the rear."

"Unexpectedly, Shangyi Bureau is full of insightful people, all of them are knowledgeable and talented. No wonder, the emperor always said that Shangyi Bureau is the most special existence in the palace."

"What the prince said, the lower officials don't know how to say it. The emperor said that the Shangyi bureau is the most special, probably because only our dynasty has female officials. In other places, there are special departments for these matters in the palace. The tailor is in charge, we are the only ones, and the female officer is also used."

"Fang Shanggong doesn't know that this kind of position is the easiest to mislead. You think, you can't ask all tailors to become father-in-law? You can't ask tailors to be in the palace every day. It is always bad to be easily taken advantage of by people with a heart. Besides, women are not necessarily inexperienced in the affairs of female celebrities. The existence of female officials shows that I am striving for equality between men and women. Everyone has a way to be an official and serve the country. Isn't it a good thing?"

"What the prince said is very true. If there are no female officials, women will be at home and teach their children. It is wrong to flatter women without talent. It is just like a princess. Isn't it full of knowledge? Read thousands of books, travel thousands of miles, There is always nothing wrong. If all the women just cook at home and take care of their children, wouldn't they marry a servant instead of a wife? Like the princess and the prince, a husband and wife who love each other deeply and raise their eyebrows are a model of a husband and wife. If the prince marries someone who can only wash and cook, wouldn't that mean he married himself a housekeeper?"

"It's also a good thing to be able to manage the house well. I have a headache as to how to manage the few people in the mansion, let alone a large number of people."

"Isn't it easy? If the princess finds someone who knows everything and trusts to manage the mansion for the princess, wouldn't it be great?"

If at that time, I asked Lu Ying to come here in time, maybe there would not be so many things in the future.

I can feel more at ease myself.
