After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber
Chapter 284 Shi Nai
After Shi Nai kicked the ball to the sixth prince, the sixth prince also felt that he could not control this matter.With the evidence, he went to the East Palace to find the prince.
But in fact, in this matter, the prince is more embarrassed than the sixth prince.
Because there are several of these officials who were found to be corrupted by ink, and they are all disciples of the prince.
"How about erasing these?" The Sixth Prince frowned, but still said this out of conscience.
He can't rub the sand in his eyes, but he knows that before the crown prince ascends the throne, the support of the people below is indispensable.If the prince really dealt with it fairly this time, it would definitely chill the hearts of the people below.
Therefore, the sixth prince felt that these few grains of sand could be endured for now, and it would not be too late to wait until one day...to completely remove them.
But the crown prince shook his head and sighed softly: "These things, once done, will leave traces. Even if we erase these people, they will still be dragged out by other people when the real investigation is done." .”
The sixth prince's brows were so frowned that a fly could be crushed to death: "Then what should I do? Is it possible to suppress them all?"
If so, although he can't bear it, he must have trouble sleeping and eating.
The prince looked helplessly at his upright sixth brother: "I didn't say I would suppress it. Besides, since this matter has been revealed, how can it be suppressed?"
The sixth prince relaxed, and pretended to complain: "This Shi Nai will really make trouble for people. He has only been in the household department for a few days? He made such a big commotion."
It was rare to see the duplicity of the sixth younger brother, the prince found it funny, and couldn't help complaining: "I'm afraid you are very satisfied with Shi Nai, aren't you?"
The sixth prince smiled sheepishly, "You can't hide anything from the elder brother of the prince. Yes, although Shi Nai went in and out of the officialdom and behaved a little improperly, but a little training is still very useful."
"It's rare to see you boasting like this. It seems that Shi Nai does have some skills."
Speaking of this, the sixth prince became interested, "Brother Prince, I don't know, this Shi Nai is really born to be an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs."
"Oh, how do you say?" the prince asked curiously.
I don't know what he thought of, but before the sixth prince could speak, he laughed out loud: "Isn't it the end of the year? All the ministries have reported the money that will be advanced next year to the household department. This Shi Nai is also capable, and reported to the ministries The number has been suppressed by [-]%, and it is well-founded, which made the officials sent by the various ministries speechless. Now, he is completely famous in the various ministries."
Isn't it famous?It is estimated that the officials of all ministries will hate him to death.
But for some reason, as a newcomer to the officialdom, he is quite familiar with the operation of various ministries.Especially the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment, he was so familiar with them as if they were at home.
The prince was also amazed, "Could it be possible that there really is such a natural official material?"
The sixth prince said: "Seeing is believing!"
Regarding whether Shi Nai was born to be an official, the two brothers just casually said that the most important thing at present is this pile of detailed criminal evidence.
"I'll give it to the sage, and let the sage decide." The prince made a final decision.
The sixth prince hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed back his objection, "I'll listen to the prince's elder brother."
Although, both of them knew that if a sage likes to be a benevolent monarch, the matter would probably be left alone.
******
After Shi Nai handed over the evidence to the sixth prince, he didn't interfere in this matter again.But after all, this is the first errand he has handled since he entered the court. No matter what the result is, he has to pay attention to it.
However, until the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the court sealed the pen, and there was no movement in the court.
Hu Langzhong was worried that he was young and impatient, so he came to comfort him twice, seeing that he really didn't care, he was completely relieved.
In fact, this is really nothing to care about.
Judging from Shi Nai's experience in his previous life, most of the sixth princes were unwilling to make their own claims about this matter, and he must have reported this matter to the prince.
The current situation of the prince is that he looks glamorous on the outside, but the third prince and the ninth prince are staring at him all the time, and the sage wants to suppress the prince when his mind twitches from time to time.
Therefore, even if the prince wanted to take this opportunity to purify the court, he did not dare to act rashly, so as not to touch the sensitive nerves of the saint.
Moreover, if Shi Nai was not mistaken, at this time, the prince had already begun to disappoint the saint.The prince felt even more tired and even humiliated by the fight with the third and ninth princes.
——Originally, he is the crown prince established by heaven and earth, and the rightful heir apparent of Da Xia.Strictly speaking, although the Third Prince and Ninth Prince are his younger brothers, they are even more his courtiers.
He is obviously a monarch, but he still has to fight with his ministers to protect his status as a monarch.
How ironic is this?
The prince has been aloof since he was a child, how could he not feel humiliated?
In fact, Shi Nai never figured it out until his entire life, since the sage had no intention of abolishing the prince, what exactly was he trying to do by suppressing the prince and giving hope to other princes?
If it's about love for power, didn't the sage realize that before he picked up the third prince, the crown prince never took power?
On the contrary, after the third prince got the hint from the sage, he made friends with the ministers wantonly, forcing the prince to form a party to protect himself.
He sighed, thinking about the world map drawn by later generations, he felt that the sage's vision was really short-sighted, and he just stared at the one-acre three-point land in front of him, and he hadn't completely controlled Oala in the north and Qianxiang Kingdom in the south. down.
but……
He had a sudden idea: maybe, he could draw a map of the world?
"System Immortal, is the world map of future generations far from the current one?"
"Due to the relatively close age, the difference is not too big, but the place names are completely different."
"Then... can you send me a world map?"
"Maps are military supplies, they are priceless and cannot be given away."
"Oh."
It seems that he can only draw slowly by himself.
******
After closing the pen, it is the Chinese New Year.
On the day of Laba, the dining room in the palace set up a big pot to cook Laba porridge one night in advance. Early in the morning, there were emperors serving the emperor's name in the palace to give porridge to the emperor and his ministers.
The Laba porridge in the palace is very delicate, not only with sufficient ingredients, but also crushed candied walnuts, peanuts, melon seeds, almonds, etc. are used to display the words "Fu", "Shou" and "Lu" on the porridge surface.
Of course, these are not the most important.The most important thing is that this porridge is like the leftovers bestowed by saints after the Lunar New Year's Eve palace banquet, it is a kind of honor, a symbol of being favored by the emperor.
As an honorable person in the imperial court and an upstart personally promoted by the sage, Shi Nai was granted a jar of Laba porridge as a matter of course.The whole family, including Ma Shi who is envious and jealous, feel proud.
After sending away the servants who came to deliver the porridge, Shi Nai asked someone to open the ancestral hall, and used the porridge to worship the ancestors first, so that the ancestors would know that their descendants are promising, and our family will not be ruined for the time being, please The ancestors are at ease.
Then, Shi Nai came out of the ancestral hall with the porridge in his arms, and joined Yan Shi and Ma Shi who were holding the eldest girl and the second girl respectively. The whole family returned to Jingsui Hall and shared a jar of porridge.
Even the two girls who were less than one year old were fed a few spoonfuls of thick juice by Yan Shi and Ma Shi.They made their respective nurses watch in horror, and tried to stop them a few times.
Seeing that the two wives stopped feeding after only a few spoonfuls of juice, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, no matter how bestowed by the emperor, Laba porridge is not easy to digest.Children with weak spleen and stomach don't dare to eat those.
Just at this time, the second girl yawned a little.The second girl's nanny hurriedly said: "Madam, the girl is sleepy, let the servant take the girl to rest."
"Okay." Mrs. Ma handed the second girl to the nanny, and said, "Take good care of the girl, I will not treat you badly."
"Thank you, madam." The nanny smiled gratefully, but said in her heart: As long as you don't feed the second girl indiscriminately, it will be fine if you spoil her spleen and stomach.
Seeing that the second girl was carried away, the eldest girl's nanny also stepped forward and said cautiously: "Madam, let the servants hold the girl."
No matter how much Yan Shi loves the eldest girl, she is not her own after all, and there is always a layer of separation in her heart.Now, I have hugged and teased her, and when I heard what the nanny said, I handed her to the nanny, and said in the same way: "Take good care of the girl, and I will not lose you."
The nanny quickly thanked her, and retreated to the side with the eldest girl in her arms.
Mrs. Ma sighed suddenly, and said, "Third Master is alone in Jinling, so I don't know what to do?"
She is worried that Shi Ding has no one to take care of his daily life; she is worried that he will take Xiaoxing outside.Thinking that the second uncle would return to Beijing so soon, but his third master would have to wait for two years, Mrs. Ma couldn't help being jealous of Mrs. Yan.
Why did she catch up with all the good things?
Shi Nai didn't know her thoughts.He thought that the younger siblings were just worried about his younger brother, and comforted him: "Don't worry, younger siblings, Jinling is our hometown after all, and those clansmen are afraid of being taken care of by our brothers again, and the third brother will be fine."
Mashi forced a smile: "I hope so."
Yan Shi glanced at her, knowing it clearly.Immediately, she couldn't help but feel complacent.
Shi Nai had confessed to her long before he went to Jinling, and released those aunts and Tong Fang.But in the third brother's courtyard, there are still several side houses.
Although they are still in the period of filial piety, the hot filial piety has already passed. As long as they don't produce children, no one will be so serious.The third master was alone in Jinling, so if he could find a concubine, it would not be impossible.
So, she also comforted him: "Yes, there are servants in a yard in the Marquis of Jinling's mansion who are at my uncle's beck and call, taking care of my uncle comfortably."
——As for what kind of care, you can figure it out yourself.
Ma Shi's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened, biting his lower lip to suppress the irony that was about to blurt out.
She felt that since the old master and sister-in-law passed away, this second sister-in-law has become more and more annoying!
But in fact, in this matter, the prince is more embarrassed than the sixth prince.
Because there are several of these officials who were found to be corrupted by ink, and they are all disciples of the prince.
"How about erasing these?" The Sixth Prince frowned, but still said this out of conscience.
