Datang romantic little landlord

In short, no matter how frustrated and resisted Li Wangyou and Su Changqing were, the task of selecting [-] palace maids and arranging them properly was placed in front of them.

Regarding this, Li Wangyou just wanted to ask Li Er, won't your conscience hurt?

There is a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not...

299 The Cheeky Xu Jingzong

The news of the selection of the palace lady, along with the promulgation of Li Er's edict, soon caused an uproar in the Yeting Palace.

Today, there are about ten thousand court ladies in the Tai Chi Palace.And there are thousands of people over the age of 30.

According to Li Er's imperial decree, the standard for being selected out of the palace is that maids who have been in the palace for more than ten years and voluntarily leave the palace can sign up and register.

Regarding going out of the palace, many older palace ladies have very complicated feelings about it.

They yearn for freedom and want to escape from the towering palace walls, but they are full of worries about life after leaving the palace.

These court ladies entered the palace in their teens, and spent their youth within the palace walls.

For outside the palace walls, these women both yearn and fear.

Some court ladies hope to reunite with their families after leaving the palace, and have fun at the knees of their parents.Some hope to be able to leave the palace to marry and raise children.

But these court ladies have been in the palace for more than ten years, and many of them have already lost contact with their parents at home, and many of the court ladies' parents are no longer alive.

After experiencing the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the sharp drop in population, many court ladies have long been unable to contact their relatives.

In the ninth year of Wude, Li Er ordered to release the palace ladies, and many of them also encountered the same situation.After leaving the palace, these court ladies have no relatives to take refuge in, and it is difficult to marry a wishful husband. Many people live in distress.

This is exactly Li Er and Empress Changsun's concerns about releasing the maid again.After all, the face of the royal family is still important. Even if these court ladies live without support after leaving the palace, and even live in Qinlou and Chuxiang, Li Er's face is really ugly.

But even with such concerns, there is still an endless stream of court ladies who sign up to leave the palace.

Within a few days, the list of maids who voluntarily left the palace was counted.

At this moment, Li Wangyou felt a toothache while holding the list of maids that had been initially selected.

Three thousand court ladies were released, and more than half of them lost contact with their families.

On the roster, there are more than 600 court ladies who need Li Wangyou to arrange their affairs after leaving the palace. This is really not an easy job.

What made Li Wangyou feel more toothache was the middle-aged man kneeling opposite him.

This person is his deputy arranged by Li Er to assist him in completing the palace maid's departure from the palace.

Li Wangyou met this person for the first time, but no matter how he looked at this middle-aged man with a flattering smile on his face, he was not happy.

The main reason is that this person is well-known in history, but it is not a good name.

"New Book of Tang - Biography of Treacherous Officials", the number one character is the man kneeling in front of Li Wangyou respectfully and respectfully at this moment, Xu Jingzong.

In fact, Li Wangyou also knew that Xu Jingzong was not a treacherous person, nor did he do anything to lose power and humiliate the country.

The reason why it was listed at the top of the Biography of a Traitor is mainly because this guy has done too many scandals.

For example, tampering with the history of the country, marrying his daughter to barbarians because of his greed for money, stalking others, joining forces with Wu Zetian to exclude Zhongliang, etc., it is more appropriate to describe Xu Jingzong with nonsense.

Li Wangyou naturally respected this kind of person.

But he didn't expect that Li Er actually ordered Xu Jingzong, who was currently the Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, to assist him, which made him extremely bored.

Looking at the middle-aged man opposite, Li Wangyou didn't know how he should get along with him.

He didn't know that Xu Jingzong, who was full of smiles at the moment, felt even more uneasy.

Xu Jingzong had targeted Li Wangyou twice and thrice before, especially in the Zongzheng Temple. Facing the head of the Li clan in Hu County who came to sue, he gave him a dark trick to deal with the young man in front of him.

But he didn't expect that the Li family in Hu County would not lose money by stealing chickens.

Not only did they fail to do anything to this young man, but they were reprimanded and grounded by Li Er's decree anyway, and they were not even allowed to enter Chang'an City.

And this young man who shined brilliantly at the Qujiangchi Poetry Meeting that day, in just over a month, unexpectedly went from being a white man to being a man of the founding county, which made Xu Jingzong feel desperate.

Afterwards, Li Wangyou and Qiwang of the five surnames fought in the arena, the crown prince and the king of Yue worshiped Li Wangyou as their teacher, and a series of things made Xu Jingzong regret it even more.

This young man, where can he provoke him?

Facing Li Wangyou again now, Xu Jingzong's little jealousy had long since dissipated.

Xu Jingzong at this time, after all, was not the right minister in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, and he was still serving as Shaoqing in Zongzheng Temple, how could he have the right to oppose Li Wangyou.

Xu Jingzong now only hopes that the old patriarch of the Li family in Hu County will be strict enough, and he must not expose the fact that he advised him and wanted to use the spring to punish Li Wangyou.

"Men from Huxian, please do as you please in order to send the maid out of the palace this time. I will fully cooperate when I go down, there will be no other words."

Li Wangyou felt even more contemptuous when he heard that Xu Jingzong even used the word "go down".

The Shaoqing of Zongzheng Temple, at any rate, was an official of the fourth rank, but in comparison, he, a man from Jianguo County, was only an official of the fifth rank.

In terms of official rank, Xu Jingzong is still above his rank.

And what does that mean?Although that is self-effacement, it refers to a pawn, a person who is used to run around.

Nima, this guy really has a thick skin!

Li Wangyou slandered in his heart, but on the surface he didn't show any impatience or contempt.

When he was running business in later generations, he saw a lot of all kinds of weird clients.

Li Wangyou has long been able to do it. The client abused me thousands of times, and I treat the client like first love... So, with his bright smile, even Xu Jingzong didn't see Li Wangyou's true thoughts about him.

"Xu Shaoqing is being polite. Although the sage ordered you to assist me, but Xu Shaoqing, you have been an official for many years and have rich experience. Sending the maid out of the palace this time requires Xu Shaoqing to put in a lot of effort."

"It's natural, it's natural, and you must do your best when you go down. I don't know if there are rules for dealing with these court ladies who have no relatives to rely on?"

"Well, I am also worrying about this matter. The saints gave each of the maids who left the palace this time a hundred copper coins as a settling fee. Although the money is not much, it is not much. If you want to properly arrange these Maid, it's a little difficult."

Li Wang said worriedly, Li Er is also extremely stingy.

Sending these maids out of the palace, one person pays a hundred copper coins to settle down, which is really pitifully small.

This amount of copper money is enough for these maids to buy a few acres of land. If they want to use this to solve their livelihood problems for the rest of their lives, it is purely a dream.

Li Wangyou despised Li Er's stinginess, but he didn't know that Li Er was still bleeding from his heart.Three thousand maids, that is 30 copper coins for settling down, which is not a small sum.

Xu Jingzong blinked his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's not easy for a saint, but these hundred copper coins are indeed not enough. There is a way to go down, and I can raise some copper coins. I don't know whether to say it or not."

When Li Wangyou heard that this guy could get copper coins, he couldn't care less about Xu Jingzong's behavior, so he hurriedly asked.
