female concubine

"Zhang De's youngest son Zhang Hou married Shi Xiang's daughter, and his daughter married Jiang's family. His tree is deeper than the prime minister. When it is uprooted in the future... it will be a lot of trouble." Beijing tabloid news, Zhang Hou, the concubine son of Ji Xianxiang Zhang De, married Shi Xiangfang's concubine daughter, and Zhang De married her daughter into Jiang's family to become the official wife of Yushi Zhongcheng Jiang Luochuan.

"The officials are also afraid of trouble?"

"It's actually not troublesome..."

"Officials don't need to accommodate their concubines. For matters in the court, officials can do as they please."

"Jiang Fuping, deputy envoy of the third department, handed in his resignation letter just after he passed Jiazi. I didn't respond to him a few years after he was reinstated as deputy envoy of the third department. In the next few days, I sent three letters to him..."

"If the officials don't like Yushi Zhongcheng's transfer to Zhikai."

"No, I just want him and Su Yu to stay in Taiwan to remonstrate, and I don't care. Isn't it interesting to watch them blow their beards and stare every day?"

"Is it?"

"perhaps..."

"Officials, there is news from the son-in-law's house that the eldest princess of the Sui Kingdom is seriously ill."

"Seriously ill?" The emperor turned his head in shock, "Didn't the family banquet go well a while ago..."

On the royal road of Xuandemen, guards suddenly appeared to clear the way, and human walls were erected on both sides of the street. When guards of honor entered Xuandemen, the windows facing the street were opened one after another, and those who stuck their heads out to watch the excitement were all guarded After yelling back, the chariots and horses then entered a wide alley.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" the emperor asked a middle-aged man.

The only son of the eldest princess, because of his kindness, entered the official position as the envoy of the Dongshang Pavilion. When the emperor came to the son-in-law's house, he went out to greet him tremblingly. Although he was the same generation as the emperor, he was already over half a hundred. Her eyes were devoid of vicissitudes, "The imperial doctor said that my mother had asthma, because...because..."

"Why, you said it!" the emperor roared.

The middle-aged man with a full beard knelt down and sobbed: "Because my daughter and my wife went back to Hangzhou to visit relatives, I made a private decision with my uncle, the youngest son of Hangzhou Zhizhou, Cao Ji... After hearing this, my mother felt that the family style was corrupted, and she was short of breath and fainted for a while. Said... only in the morning and evening."

The eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty and her son-in-law had only one son. The eldest son married for more than ten years and all the eldest sons and eldest daughters died in infancy. In the end, she and her original wife gave birth to a young daughter and raised them to adulthood.

"Private life?" The emperor still looked at him questioningly, "Even so, my aunt's body was obviously still healthy when I was born in the Mid-Autumn Festival."

The man shook his head tremblingly, "Mother's body has deteriorated day by day after the adult died of illness. The official's mother was forced to support her body and let the wife put on heavy makeup."

The emperor looked down at him and then turned and stepped into the room.

"Grandson knows it's wrong, grandma, grandson will never dare again, grandson will definitely listen to you in the future."

The woman on the couch was speechless, holding her last breath, as if she knew that the emperor was coming.

The young woman turned her head when she heard footsteps from the bedside, and said with tears in her eyes, "The official..."

"aunt."

The capital supervisor of the princess's house brought a bowl of decoction, and the emperor sat down with it himself. After feeding a few spoonfuls, he found that the eldest princess could not even swallow the decoction.

"Does my aunt have any last wishes? I will do everything I can."

The eldest princess held the emperor's hand, "Don't blame her for the officials... the fate of my concubine is like this."

"Okay, she is my aunt's only granddaughter, I won't."

"The official... is more capable than the first emperor, and he is also... a good emperor. Don't listen to outsiders."

"I know."

"The only thing I can rest assured about is the girl."

The emperor turned his head to look at the crying woman lying on the ground, and then bent down to listen.

In September of the seventh year of Qianyuan, the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty passed away. The emperor came to express her condolences and ordered a generous burial for her.

----------

In October of the seventh year of Qianyuan, the disciples from all over the country went to the capital to register with the Ministry of Rites.

"It is none other than the son of Shi Boshi, Wang Xiuzhuan, Wang Wenfu's original wife, Cao Ji, the younger brother of the eldest daughter of Cao's family, who is the grandson of the eldest master for life. Report everything that was found out one by one, "In addition...they met another person besides Mr. Cao at that time."

"who?"

"Liu Huaijin, the yamen of Liu Shubai, the prefect, the Liu family expanded their business to Hangzhou, buying rice at a low price caused the price of rice in the whole country to drop by several percent, so when Liu Huaijin went to Hangzhou, he also called on the prefect of Hangzhou, and thus got acquainted with the chief The grandson of the lord, and the one who gave it to him in private...in fact, it was Liu Huaijin and not Young Master Cao. A merchant, but with the temperament of the eldest master, what should be concerned is not the birth, but the grandson of the son-in-law's family who secretly gave and received with the man..."

"However, people from the Cao family said that Young Master Cao has liked girls since he was a child, and he even went to propose marriage to his son-in-law's house this time when he came to Beijing. He didn't care about what happened between the girl and Liu Yanei."

"My aunt's entrustment before she died was to marry the Cao family. Do I agree to this marriage..." The emperor looked at Xiao Youqing while hesitating.

"If the official family wants to find a good marriage for the girl, choose the Cao family. Although Liu Huaijin is a yamen who knows political affairs, she has no plans to become an official in the business for many years. It is not easy to make the Liu family so brilliant at a young age. Such a person, such a person, it is difficult to control when a girl is married, and when she first met, as a man, she doesn't care about the reputation of her daughter's family. How can such a person be entrusted to her for life? Now that the elders of the princess’s family have all passed away, they have lost the dignitaries of the past, so there is nothing to gain, and the Cao family is the general, and the Eldest Princess has always had a unique vision.”

The emperor nodded, and then ordered: "Then let the envoy of Dongshang Pavilion enter the palace."

"Yes."

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

In the inner city, Mrs. Cao, the wife of the king's house in Guozi Lane, put a bowl of rice in front of Wang Wenfu.

Seeing that the rice grains in the bowl were plump and seemed to be different from what he ate before, Wang Wenfu picked up the chopsticks and took a bite into his mouth, "Why is the rice different today, it should be better."

The female envoy waiting at the side replied: "The newly bought rice from the Liu's shop is said to have been transported from Hangzhou to Tokyo through the canal. Not only is the rice good, but the price is also several percent cheaper than ordinary rice." .”

"The price of rice has dropped?" Wang Wenfu put down his chopsticks.

"Yes..."

"Why did you suddenly fall so much?" Immediately he got up and put on a coat, "Get ready, I'm going out of town."

"The officials don't need to go, the concubine went this morning."

Wang Wenfu still didn't sit down, but turned around and went into the study, "It's just after the autumn harvest, and the price of rice suddenly plummeted, how will the common people who are farming live!"

Sitting next to Mrs. Cao was a ten-year-old girl, "Mother...isn't Daddy going to eat?"

Cao shook her head, "Your father will come out to find something to eat when he is hungry."

A few days later, the emperor returned to the inner palace from the Chuigong Hall with a pile of papers from the upper hall, sat on the wooden couch in the Kunning Hall and poured out all the papers from his sleeves.

"Why did the officials bring Zhazi back?"

"It was submitted by Zhang Neihan, Wang Xiuzhuan and several Hanlin scholars, because of the canal, the price of rice in the capital fell." The emperor reached out and circled back and forth on a pile of papers, and immediately picked up a book and passed it to Xiao Youqing.

Xiao Youqing opened it, bowed his head and said: "The minister eats the emperor's salary, and he is only a tool of his majesty. He has not neglected his duties for a day. Today, he heard that the price of the rice market has fallen. I would like to present this performance. Merchants make a lot of money and control the rice market. It is not long before the autumn harvest. Farmers rely on farming, and the income is not enough to make a living. The harm is far more than this. I would like to tell you... The country's long-term plan, Wu Zong tried to reform the system during his reign, but the country had no spare power. The quality of the sage, the words of Naya, the diligence of the community, and the hearts of the people..." Xiao Youqing put down the letter, "I have heard about the price of rice for a long time. At that time, I just thought that the people would no longer have to suffer from hunger and cold for three meals All you can eat…”

"It doesn't matter whether the price of rice goes up or down for the rich, but for the poor people who work at the bottom, they can get enough food and clothing. The grain is not enough to maintain a year's livelihood, this is undoubtedly a dead end, if things go on like this, who would want to farm the land."

"This letter was submitted secretly by Wang Wenfu. He was afraid that he would not have enough influence, and he was also afraid that he would be pushed out and transferred out of Beijing."

"What do the officials want to do?"

"After so many years of insinuating, no matter what the courtier's attitude is, you must try it first, come here."

"Officials."

"Let Shi Xiangfang Zhiyan and political advisor Liu Shubai enter the palace and wait in the Chui Gong Hall."

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

In Liu's house in Anzhou Lane, Liu Shubo beat his son behind with a whip.

"The old man is in the court, but you are causing trouble for me, not to mention the granddaughter of the eldest princess, and even the girl from Zhang Xiang's family...you..."

"Why did I provoke it, it was obviously her..."

"You bastard!" Liu Shubo lashed out with a whip.

"Father," Liu Miaoyi stepped forward to stop him quickly, "If you keep beating me, something will happen to my brother."

"He's already messed up and doesn't know it yet."

"What's wrong with my son? The Liu family has become famous in just a few years, and now everyone in Tokyo doesn't know. They don't respect me because I'm the husband's yamen. Besides, isn't daddy an official donated by his son?"

"You stupid bastard, sooner or later you will cause trouble to your upper body and cause my Liu family to be full."

"It's the father who has been urging the son to choose a girl. Why is the son unwilling now that he has chosen the father?"

"It's not good who you choose, but the girl from the Zhang family."

"What's wrong with the girl of the Zhang family? Isn't Zhang's father still a colleague of Daddy's?"

On weekdays, Liu Shubo only talked to his daughter about some affairs about the government, and he still didn't mention a word behind Liu Huaijin's back. Liu Huaijin was dissatisfied: "My son doesn't know about the affairs of the court, and my father never tells me..."

"Don't you know the crime of collusion between officials and businessmen?"

"Oh." Liu Huaijin turned her head.

When Liu Shubo was about to raise his whip, the family boy hurried in, "Master, some nobles came at the door."

Several servants walked into the courtyard of Liu's residence, and politely said, "Liu participates in politics."

"How many nobles are here?"

The servant glanced at the people kneeling in the courtyard and the whip in the hands of the political adviser, and immediately raised his head and said, "I have ordered from your majesty to call Fang Zhiyan from the History Museum and Liu Shubai, the political adviser, into the palace to meet with your majesty."

Liu Shubo threw down the whip, "I'll deal with you later!"

After her father left, Liu Miaoyi stepped forward to help her elder brother up, "The price of rice in Beijing has fallen sharply, is it related to my elder brother?"

Liu Huaijin twisted her arms and said in a daze: "Sister, don't you just ask your teeth? Does Dad know?"

"Does brother know the consequences of doing this?"

"I only know that the Liu family is more brilliant in Tokyo now than in the past."

Liu Miaoyi frowned, "My brother always said that floating profits and fame would make people feel unfree, but my brother gave up his name but kept guarding the benefits."

"But at least it's better than fame. If you have a reputation, you can't make mistakes. If you can't make mistakes, you have to be vigilant all the time. If you have money, people will still respect you. I don't want to call you Liu Yuanwai. "

Liu Miaoyi shook her head and said: "My brother provoked Miss Zhang Er, and she is the daughter of a noble family, so I sent someone to propose marriage and settle the matter earlier. Fortunately, I just married a wife, but I heard that girl is the daughter of Jixian Xiangzhang. My dearest daughter, our Liu family will be related to the Zhang family and the Jiang family in this way."

"These two families are important families, and Miss Zhang Er is a direct descendant. Why are you all as unlucky as if you met a broom star?"

"I'll find out later."

In the winter of the seventh year of Qianyuan, Liu Huaijin, the eldest son of Shenzhi Zhengshi, proposed to Jixian Xiangzhang De to marry the second daughter of Zhang's family.

The author has something to say: Maybe you are going to be confused again, the names of the characters and so on (the marriage of the family is too complicated.)

Now Jiang Luochuan and Liu's elder brother became brother-in-law.

Wang Wenfu's wife is the Cao family (the name will be revealed later). Cao Ji is the younger brother of the Cao family (the youngest son of Shiboshi)

The daughter-in-law of the eldest princess of the Sui Dynasty is the elder sister of Shi Boshi (name later).
