Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Concubine Duan Shun called Prince Fu into the palace.

In front of my natal sister-in-law, I asked about the layoffs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

"Mother, Concubine, a few days ago, those who had unclean hands and feet and greedy money in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were dispatched by the sage to the salt flats, mines, and then exiled into the army. The sage said that those who were less greedy would not be hired again."

"Don't hire again?" Prince Fu's aunt screamed.It turned out that her family had a good plan. Now she has been working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for a few years, and then Prince Fu will find a way to transfer to the Ministry of Household Affairs.In this way, it saves money compared to donating officials, and can also get a real job.

"Yes. The sage has spoken. Those with previous convictions will not be hired. Others will be affected if they become officials."

Concubine Duan Shun was in a hurry, "How can this be good?" The eldest grandson of her natal family is just so useless?

Prince Fu couldn't help it either, he even thought why the prince didn't send the whole family to the salt flats?In the past 30 years, he has been tired of his uncle's family.I am becoming more and more incompetent, I am not successful in literature, and I am afraid of being tired when I study martial arts. I have never seen a person who can be promoted.How can there be a little bit, the mother and concubine have said countless times about the demeanor of great-grandfathers and grandfathers who made contributions.Even a few cousins ​​have become small Beijing officials in a very ordinary way.In the meantime, it's hard to say whether the Ministry of Officials gave the royal face, otherwise, after many years, he should be promoted as usual, and he should stay where he is.

Concubine Duan Shun heard that it was a sage who spoke, but she couldn't.She can only comfort her sister-in-law, teach the children of her great-grandchildren well, and let her regain the glory of her ancestors.He took out some more things and asked someone to send his sister-in-law out of the palace.

When the people left, Prince Fu said to Concubine Duan Shun: "Mother, concubine, my son has given me a big favor and put him, um, my nephew at the Ministry of Internal Affairs to buy it. You can't think of it, he worked for half a month, I was greedy for more than 100 taels of silver. How could the crown prince take over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let such a person dig the royal family to enrich himself."

Concubine Toffee thought about the changes in the palace. Even if she got something in this palace, she would ask someone to go there temporarily.It really eliminates the opportunity for slaves to embezzle the master's things.

"Forget it, don't worry about it." The concubine was silent for a while, and persuaded her son.

Thinking that the grandnephew of her natal family was greedy for money but was not punished, maybe her son was in it and how many favors she got.Looking at what the sage is doing now, he wants to gradually hand over everything to the prince and his wife.There is another layer of separation between the son and the prince.For some matters, as a king, he put down his face and begged his nephew, so how easy it is to talk about the clan's affairs in the future!

Alas, I can't drag my son down for my natal nephew.The concubine made up her mind, she persuaded her son not to worry about his nephew being expelled.

"It's still in line with what my mother, concubine and grandfather said: relying on others, you can pull it out for a while, but you can't pull it out forever. The children of the Min family are not good, you just need to watch them have food and drink. No matter how many, you still have to wait." Let them go up on their own."

When Prince Fu saw his mother and concubine say this, most of the burden in his heart was relieved.He stayed with his mother and concubine for a while before leaving the palace.

After her son left, Concubine Duan Shun sat down sleepily for a while.She thought about the Zheng family, the Chen family, and the Zhao family. She really felt that it was a great blessing that her natal family was safe and sound all the time.

But I can think of my natal family, which is still in decline.Concubine Duan Shun thought about it again, but felt very sorry.She is also in her 60s and counting towards [-]. She has been depressed for half a day, and feels uncomfortable at night.

Concubine Shuhui saw that she was ill, so she came to persuade her.

"Your natal family is like this, are you still worried? If my natal family was exiled to the southwest, I would have cut myself off early. Don't talk about others, look at the Queen Mother, look at other people's grand-nephews and grand-nieces, but they are all servants of officials. Well, why not live well! Ah, bah."

Concubine Duan Shun just laughed, "You, you still have this temper. It's better to change as much as possible."

The two of them are old, let go of the past of fighting for favor in the palace when they were young, and they can be regarded as people who can talk.

"Get well soon. If I'm the only one left, seeing how she treats saints and princes every day will kill me."

Not to mention, Concubine Shuhui's consolation was quite effective for Concubine Duan Shun.Prince Fu heard that his mother and concubine had invited an imperial physician, and entered the palace the next day, but saw that his mother and concubine were in good health, playing cards with the queen mother and concubine Shuhui.

"I'm fine, I just feel uncomfortable for a while, and your concubine Shumu persuaded me, okay, I'm fine. Go get busy."

Prince Fu thanked Concubine Shuhui again and again, and saluted the queen mother and concubine mother before leaving and returning to the clan mansion.

Without the encumbrance of his mother and concubine's natal nephews, Prince Fu would be able to talk to those who came to intercede.Even these days, the people who gathered at Prince Fu's mansion saw that the Min family was not doing well, and they all dispersed. They no longer begged Prince Fu and Princess Fu, and it was useless to beg.

The sage placed great hopes on the mortar painted by the prince.After Dai Zi succeeded in imitating the rifle, an order was issued immediately to pardon Dai Zi's charges.The prince went to the craftsman's workshop in person, and relayed the words of the saint to Dai Zi, "Get this mortar out, give Dai Zi a fifth-rank chief of the Ministry of Industry, and make Dai Zi a hereditary Yunqi Captain."

Dai Zi was so excited that tears filled his eyes, and he took his son to work around the clock.The prince was afraid that he would get sick from exhaustion, so he ordered Liufu to send a servant to guard Dai Zi in the craftsman's workshop every day.Supervisor Dai Zi eats and sleeps at the right time, and if he feels a little unwell, he sends a message to Liu Fu, and Liu Fu goes to the imperial hospital to ask Dai Zi for an imperial physician.

Seeing that the prince has used people to the extreme, the sage had the same thought in his heart.When he said it, he couldn't help complaining to Jia Daishan.

"Look at the prince, this pair of Dai Zi, compared to me, is more caring."

Jia Dai smiled and teased him: "Sage, what do you think the prince is doing?"

The sage blushed in a rare way, and the crown prince was approving the memorial for him.And he was drinking tea and chatting with Jia Daishan.

"Saint, the prince uses talented people. Naturally, this is the way to make people willing. This is also taught by the sage, so that the prince can use people. A few days ago, I went to the firearms camp and tested the rifle. , It’s too strong. Although the rifle/gun is a little slower to reload, it is powerful and can shoot far. A target of eighty feet can penetrate armor. It may be accurate if it is a hundred feet.”

"Such a powerful force? I have to go to the Firearms Camp to see it some other day."

The saint immediately agreed with Jia Daishan to inspect the firearms camp.

Eighty feet can penetrate the armor, the sage and Jia Daishan, the monarch and his ministers have led the army for many years, and they all understand what it means.If the firearms battalion were all such sharpshooters, and the two armies faced each other, they could dispatch several rows of soldiers to take turns shooting.

"If Lai/Rifle Gun really has such power, Dai Zi should have given him an official title and a title earlier."

Jia Daishan immediately praised: "A sage confers an official title to a courtier who has done practical things, which will definitely inspire the latecomers to serve the court. In this regard, the crown prince is like a sage, who knows people and makes good use of them."

The saint nodded, "Those who can do things should be awarded no matter how they are."

The two of them, the monarch and his ministers, were chatting, while the prince was working hard on the side.When the sun was setting, the prince gave instructions on everything except the An Zhezi.He beckoned Wei Jiu over, and told him to go to the Imperial Hospital to ask the Supreme Court to come and ask for the pulse of the saint and Rong Guogong.

The prince stepped forward, changed the water for the two, and said to the sage and Rong Guogong: "I have drank a lot of tea, let's change the water. I won't be able to sleep at night."

The sage was used to it from time to time, so the prince replaced the tea with plain water.Jia Daishan took the white water poured by the prince and smiled to thank him.

"Old Jia, forget it, you forgot that Chengxian peed all over you when he was a child."

Jia Dai smiled, "That's the prince to see if the old minister is acquainted."

He took a sip of the white water handed over by the crown prince, it was sweet, he raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.Said to the sage: "The white water poured by the prince is better than that poured by others."

The prince said in his heart, your glass of water is a spiritual spring, isn't it delicious.

The sage joked, "I have a lot of white water, I care about you enough. Cheng Xian, pour a glass of white water for Duke Rong."

Jia Daishan quickly waved his hands, "How dare you be a minister, how dare you pour water when you are a prince. The glass just now was already blessed by the saint, and it is a great gift. Saint, don't compromise the blessing of the minister."

The sage just said that, seeing that Jia Dai's good knowledge was advancing and retreating, he smiled happily and asked about his second son's marriage.

Jia Daishan reported in detail, "According to what the sage said, I asked Shi to inquire about those Hanlin scholars' mansions that did not send women to the election. There are only two or three houses with girls of the right age. Excluding the concubine, the There is only one family. The eldest daughter of Bachelor Wang Yun has just turned 16 years old. It is said that she is also an elegant and dignified girl. Even if the saint doesn’t ask, I will discuss with you today to see if the Wang family is right. Suitable."

Wang Yun, a native of Jiangyin, a second-ranked Jinshi, a scholar of Shuji background, just in his early forties, rigorous in his studies, and a fourth-rank Hanlin bachelor.

That's all the sage knows.So he beckoned and told the little servant to find Mi Jiu and come over.

Mi Jiu is one of the five or nine internal servants of the saint, who is in charge of the files of all officials.To put it bluntly, he knows all the affairs of the officials.

Seeing that the saint was so caring, Jia Daishan quickly bowed to the saint and thanked the saint.

"Old Jia, you are in charge of the capital, I have to be careful."

"I understand. I am thanking the saint for his trust."

The high court sent the verdict very quickly, and Wei Jiu went to ask for it in person, which startled him, thinking that something had happened to the saint.Wei Jiu quietly said that the sage saw that the prince had arranged a special person to pay attention to Dai Zi, so...

The High Court found out that the saint was jealous.He quickly took out his purse and thanked Wei Jiu, the people in front of the imperial court, if you don't take care of it, sometimes you can't get the news out, and you don't know how you died.

Where did Wei Jiu dare to ask for the silver from the high court? He shirked: "If the slave dares to ask for your silver, the sage knows that he will peel off the slave's skin. Whenever you are free, order someone to make some cough suppressant pills for the slave. , and it's done."

Wei Jiu has a cough, and every year when the seasons change and the weather changes, he coughs unbearably.When he was young, he could still bear it. This year, he found it more and more difficult.After serving the saint for decades, it was easy to gain the trust of the saint, and climbed to the position of the saint. If he left due to illness, he would never come back.

This matter is a trivial matter for the High Court.After he arrived at the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he signaled Wei Jiu to send someone else in to report, and took the time to feel Wei Jiu's pulse.

"Eunuch Wei, your matter is on my shoulders. You can often go to the Imperial Hospital when you have time. Acupuncture is better than medicine."

Wei Jiu bowed his hands to thank the high court for the sentence, just as the servant who had delivered the message came out, the saint announced the high court's sentence, and went in for a pulse diagnosis.
