In front of the hall, there were many servants standing bowed on both sides, and the trembling shadows of the officials were printed on the hot bluestone floor.

"I donated funds for the Song Dynasty, not for my own personal gain, and this uniform, is there any difference between your Majesty's doing this and selling an official?"

The emperor, who has long been accustomed to harsh words, put his hands on his back and walked to the green robe. The sun was shining on his head, and the back of Su Yu's robe was soaked with sweat. It’s just sealing up some of your leaders…”

"When the courtiers saw His Majesty's conferment, they all began to think about it, trying to use all their assets to obtain official ranks. How can such a culture exist in the country's system that puts scholars first, let alone encourage unhealthy tendencies. Selecting scholars should be based on virtuous virtues. Definitely, I implore Your Majesty to take it back."

"Then tell me!" the emperor said angrily with his eyes open, and then stepped forward, bent down and put his hands on Su Yu's shoulders, and glared in a hoarse voice, "What can I do to raise money for the construction of the canal? Taxes? Or raise taxes for the common people? Can you tell me how to get those people to spend their money so that they are willing to pay for the country and threaten them with a knife on their necks?"

"Your Majesty cares about the country, and the construction of the canal is a great contribution to benefit the people's livelihood. However, this matter consumes national power and enslaves craftsmen. The former emperor abused the power of the people to build the Grand Canal, causing the whole country to revolt. Because the monarch acted too hastily, His Majesty must not follow in his footsteps."

The emperor straightened his sleeves and walked away, "Of course I know what kind of person I should choose for an official position, and I don't need you to teach me how to govern the country. You don't know what I want to do, so I don't blame you..."

"Your Majesty knows." Su Yu knelt and moved a few steps, and fell to the ground limply due to the numbness of his knees. He immediately got up from the numbness and said, "Your Majesty wants to use the two Zhejiang provinces and Huainan and other places in the south as the country's food reserves for the west. Prepare for the expedition and the Northern Expedition, Your Majesty... has always been the hero."

The emperor straightened up and frowned, "Since you know what I'm going to do, you shouldn't stop me. Even if you kneel in front of me now, I don't think I will back down."

"Although they are not real positions, the people who were appointed by His Majesty all because they knew that donating money to build the canal can advance their ranks. If there is no benefit to avoid them, if it is beneficial, they will seek them. Let such officials stand in the Zichen Palace and discuss with Qingliu who is studying hard in the cold window. Forgive me...I don't want to call it unfair!" Su Yu took off his hat and kowtowed and gritted his teeth word by word.

The character of a scholar is fully displayed in Su Yu. The emperor eased his gaze and then heaved a long sigh and walked up to Su Yu and knelt down on one knee, "It's not a year or two for the third division to be short of money. Knowing that the construction of the canal is not something that can be completed in just a few days or months, how can I find ways to squeeze my head to raise money? The current situation is changing. Now the Xixia monarch is young and vigorous, and the Xixia court is at odds with the monarch and his ministers. The conflicts are accumulating over time It won't be resolved in a short period of time, but I don't know what will happen to the Khitan and Party members in the next ten years, do you understand?"

Su Yu raised his head and said in a daze: "The monarch and his ministers are at odds?"

"So far, this is the first and last time. After the canal is built, I will never be self-willed again." The emperor picked up the Futou beside Su Yu and put it on for him. , I don't care about fame and wealth, I just don't want this Han land and Kyushu to be destroyed in the hands of my Wei family."

After the emperor walked away, Qi Liu squatted down and picked up Su Yu's scarlet official uniform, and the following servant helped Zuo Sijian who was kneeling on the ground, sweat dripped down his forehead, and Su Yu clutched the servant's hand because of numbness. I can't move my sleeves.

Qi Liu stepped forward to give a hand and said earnestly: "The official family returned to the Central Plains after experiencing life and death in Xixia. Su Sijian was the last champion of the late emperor, so he doesn't understand how much the official family has suffered to make it to where it is today. Well, if Su Sijian had felt the despair of Chu Wangqian's residence, he wouldn't be begging here to dissuade and embarrass the officials. Why can the family bear it and not transfer you away? The official family will not alienate Su Sijian because Zuo Sijian was personally appointed by the late emperor, and they will not keep Su Sijian because of his good writing."

"I just don't want the officials to be like the first emperor. If a country doesn't even obey the rules, what about the officials below? Officials and nobles can be bought and sold. What will the people think? Then buy them with money." Is the faculties really for the people and the country?"

"What does Su Sijian think? Su Sijian is about the same age as the official, so what Su Sijian can think of, can't the official think of it?" Qi Liu shook his head and presented the official uniform, "A sage has no permanent heart, and he regards the hearts of the people as his own. Heart is what the officials often say. Abandoning one's own will can only have the will of the people. How tiring it is for such a person to live. The so-called saints and masters are all imposed on the officials by you officials, so the first emperor did not want to do it. The officials are also unwilling, to put it in a bold word, take off the yellow robe, the officials are just an ordinary person who can't be more ordinary, is it also a kind of selfishness for Su Sijian to disregard the feelings of others for the sake of the etiquette in his heart? "

"I..."

"All the lower officials know," Qi Liu interrupted Su Yu's words, "People are not sages, I hope Su Sijian can do it for himself."

Relieved, Su Yu stood up straight and took the official uniform, and sighed, "As long as Su is still in court for a day, he will not let unhealthy trends fuel him."

Qi Liu shook his head helplessly and left, caught up with the emperor and followed him in silence for a long time.

After walking for a while, he finally couldn't help asking: "Zuo Sijian has a stiff elm head, and it's useless to persuade the villain for a long time. Since the officials don't like it and are bored, why don't they find an excuse to arrest him?" Out?"

"After leaving one Su Yu, there will be a second and a third. Instead of facing the uncontrollable unknown, it's better to endure the moment, at least he doesn't have the courage to remonstrate for the time being."

------------------------------------

In the autumn of the second year of Qianyuan, the imperial examination was changed from three years to one year, and all prefectures and counties were ordered to hold examinations. In early August, the young daughter of Lu Wei, the founder of the state, was married.

On the eve of Prime Minister Lu Wei's marriage to his daughter, the imperial court ordered the late emperor's former minister Qin Fenglu to transfer Fang Zhiyan back to Beijing to serve as the Minister of the Ministry of War.

The welcoming team arrives among the stone lions in front of the Xiangfu gate. The groom is riding on a horse with a colorful bell, and there is a flower on his head.

"Please dismount, Lord Kaiguo."

Mrs. Lu came out of the ancestral hall wearing a flower crown and Xiapei and waited in the middle hall. The wives of foreign families entered the middle hall one after another, smiling and staring at the bride holding the round fan, "Our uncle and wife are really beautiful."

"Congratulations, Uncle and Madam."

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Lu looked at her biological mother, Mrs. Wang. From the moment she received the marriage offer from the emperor, she felt conflicted with the emperor and the forbidden government in her heart, "Mother, daughter..."

"Don't be afraid, child, no matter where you marry, this will always be your home, and your father and I will always be here."

Xiao Yunze stepped into the prime minister's mansion, and courtiers in casual clothes on both sides congratulated his uncle one after another. He just nodded without saying a word, and when he stepped into the middle hall, he bowed his hands to the prime minister and his wife, "Lu..." Xiao Yunze calmly changed his words: "Taishan, mother-in-law."

Lu Wei didn't open his mouth, only Mrs. Wang reluctantly asked: "The second mother will leave it to you. She has never left the house, and she doesn't know the dangers outside. I hope you will treat her kindly in the future. The husband and wife will be harmonious, and the IKEA IKEA .”

Xiao Yunze bowed again, "Taishan and mother-in-law, please rest assured." Immediately, he walked up to the bride in the scarf, the first time he saw the second mother of the Lu family, she was actually a little girl who was more than ten years younger than him, and was taken aback. After waiting for a while, seeing that there were tears in Lu's eyes and many people beside him, Xiao Yunze didn't say anything but stretched out his hand from the sleeve of his official uniform.

Mrs. Lu has only heard about Xiao Yunze's scandals outside, and has never seen him before, except for the beard on his face. Looking at the rough face, his facial features are extremely three-dimensional. The thought of being a martial artist and that gentle scholar is very surprising. Shi was crying, her eyes were red, and she was holding the round fan tightly as if she didn't want to.

The two family members on the main seat noticed something, Lu Wei was about to get up to reprimand with a sullen face, only to see Xiao Yunze retract his wide palm into the extremely long sleeves of his official uniform, and then Lu stretched out his small hand to grab his clothes The corner of the sleeve followed him out.

Walking out from the congratulatory crowd, Xiao Yunze helped him up to the eaves, and Mrs. Lu quickly retracted her hands to hold the small hook in front of the eaves and boarded the car.

Xiao Yunze took out his hand, and immediately lowered his head and smiled, stepped onto the steed, and greeted the procession from the Prime Minister's Mansion back to the Marquis' Mansion. On both sides of the eaves guard of honor, many children from the street rushed forward to see the bride.

On the second floor of the teahouse where the welcoming team passed, several young people who had just taken the test were sitting around the window drinking tea.

"Hard-backed and hunky-backed, this uncle Guochao is so handsome."

"Jiangmen and Xiangmen are married, and the uncle of the current dynasty has become the son-in-law of the prime minister. The doorway in this is really complicated."

"It's nothing more than an aristocratic marriage, and the power is wrapped up in layers. In the final analysis, it is still inseparable from the one above."

"Why didn't Jiezhi speak?"

"Yes, Mrs. Xiangguo is also a distant relative of Brother Jie."

"Ms. Wang's family is a descendant of a concubine, and it has been several generations since they moved to Shaoxing. My aunt's family is a direct descendant of the Taiyuan Wang family, so they are only relatives in name."

"Hey, at least there is still a relationship."

"Does it matter? Does brother Wenfu still need that level of care given his literary talent?"

"That's right, this year's Xie Yuan will be Jiezhi. The official has only been on the throne for less than two years. The Longfei list will be given special attention. If Jiezhi can win this list, he may replace you in name in the future." uncle."

"Shhh, keep your voice down, what can replace it? The literati in the Manchu Dynasty are all facing Lu Xiang. We have only passed the autumn, and we haven't even touched the shadow of our official career. Are you afraid of being heard and expelled from the Gongyuan if you talk about power here? ?”

------------------------------

The wide vermilion lacquer eaves followed the horses and stopped in front of the Hou's mansion. Before the bride got out of the car, Mr. Yin Yang who followed came forward and took a bucket containing millet, soybeans, copper coins, etc., and grabbed a handful of grains in the bucket. He was still muttering in his mouth, "Yin and Yang combine, the zither sings in harmony, the melons are continuous, and the blessings are still alive." Immediately, he threw it forward, and the children who followed rushed to pick it up.

Felt mats were laid along the floor tiles from the car ladder to the entrance of the Hou's mansion. The maid from the Hou's mansion walked backwards in front of the bride with a mirror in her hand, and led her to step over the saddle, straw mat and scale.

After paying homage to Xiao's family temple and thanking the guests, Xiao Yunze returned to the room reeking of alcohol, and he hadn't drunk the previous joint wine. Only outsiders were happy in this gentry marriage, and the two newcomers didn't have much happiness on their faces. .

"I know you don't want to, but I have no choice."

He forcefully tore off the flower hairpin crown on his head, "You are the elder brother of Her Majesty the Queen, if you don't want to, will the officials force you?"

"Your life is hard to break."

"Your order is hard to break?" He stood up, "Daddy also said so."

"You are the daughter of Xiangmen, and I am the son of Jiangmen. You and I can't decide our marriage by ourselves."

"There are so many prime ministers in the court, why is it my family and me?"

Looking at the somewhat naive Lu family, Xiao Yunze deeply felt that these women who were raised in deep boudoirs were well protected by the family, just like himself when he was young, no one dared to take responsibility for being a playboy despised by everyone in the streets, and immediately sighed He breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm helpless, I can't tell for a while, if you don't want to, I won't force you, it's late at night, go to bed earlier."

-------------------------

In the middle of the night, the officials of the Taishi Bureau stood on the top of the Bell and Drum Courtyard of the Wende Hall, with their heads hanging down, drowsy. , "Did you see the little lady of Lu Xiang's family today?"

"I see, but that lady doesn't seem very happy."

"This is a marriage bestowed by the government..."

"The Lu Xiao family originally hired a matchmaker, but the Lu family divorced for unknown reasons."

"The founding marquis is the empress' elder brother, why did Xiang Lu want to resign the engagement? Wouldn't it be good to adopt an uncle and son-in-law?"

"Can't you see that, Lu Xiang wants to send the little lady into the emperor's harem, what a pity, who remembers that the official family and Lu Xiang used to be teachers and students."

"Even if Lu Xiang doesn't send his own daughter to the palace, the Lu family still has a lot of daughters who are descended from the direct line. After the official family's three-year filial piety period is over, the first one to be drafted will be the Lu family."

The scale official made a gesture of shutting up, and then stared at the leak and stopped talking. As the leak turned a little, he reached out to move the water scale to make it work normally again.

At the same time, he rang the wooden fish in the armillary sphere and called out loudly: "Time is correct, change it."

"You are so cautious, you always only say half of what you say, which makes people itchy." The Star Leakage Officer recorded the time of the change.

Si Chen, who was waiting in front of the armillary sphere office, heard the sound of the wooden fish, went into the house, took the documents from the officials and hurriedly sent them to the Bell and Drum Academy.

"This court is either the Lu family, the Xiao family or the Jiang family. We are working in this kind of place. That Si Chen is also surnamed Lu. Although he is a soldier, he is somewhat related to Lu."

"Don't worry, this is the world of the emperor, and it won't be long before this court will change."

"What do you mean?"

"The officials have called Fang Zhiyan back, do you know who he is?"

"An old minister of the late emperor?" Guan Chenglou whispered with his eyes wide open.

"He is an old minister of the late emperor, but the army led by the official family when they entered the capital was the Jingsai Army guarding the northwest, and the fastest way to enter the capital is Qinfeng Road. It is no secret that everyone knows it but no one dares Just mention it."

"What Shi sent means is that Fang Zhiyan wants to pay homage to the Prime Minister?"

"I didn't say that when the first emperor, he was highly regarded and transferred to Qin Feng to replace the current Kuimen Prime Minister to take over the place. Who would have thought that the changes would come so quickly, but he was still on Qinfeng Road even though his boss had already worshiped him, serving as the emperor and courtiers. , Zhengshitang will not always be the group of white beards."

"Qinfeng is a good place. The newly appointed minister of the Ministry of Industry also came from that way. Now he is still majoring in the canal. If the canal is dredged, it will be a great achievement for the people, and he will undoubtedly worship him."

"That's why I say this is the court of the official family, the world of the official family."

The time-changing documents of the armillary sphere were sent to the Bell and Drum Courtyard of Wende Hall. At Zishi, the whole chicken man beat the drums and sang, "The sun is about to fall, the fish key is under, and the dragon's cloth... Zishi is right!" Beat the drum fifteen times.

——Boom boom——

The voice spread to the inner palace, and the woman in thin clothes stretched out her hand to pick out the wick in the last candlestick when she suddenly remembered something and turned her head to ask: "Chenqie, did you turn off the lamp?"

The author has something to say: In fact, Su Shi also has a big beard, but Uncle Xiao Guo is not fat.

Official court, you are all wage earners!
