prosperous life

No matter how many romances the emperor and the empress have, and the unspeakable secret history, they can only be kept in the heart this time.

Since the Empress Dowager and Prince Lin let Sui Leping, Sui Heng, Rong Ningjin, Sui Ye and Sui Ning know about it, they only talked about the cooperation between the Duke Cheng's Mansion, King De and the Empress. As for the others, naturally no one would know.

Especially the inexplicable triangle-love song between the emperor, empress and King De.

Because all the people attending the banquet were in the Changhua Hall, and King De didn't expect that Cheng Guogong's mansion was actually connected with the Hu people, and because of this, he was exposed. It was none other than the eldest son Jin Qiyun who contacted him. Prince Lin had already ordered people to watch him before.

So as long as the emperor made up his mind, the handling would go smoothly.

Amidst the sighs of the noble officials, the titles of Duke Cheng's mansion were withdrawn, and a group of people with more gold were sold directly into slavery without knowing it. Men who knew were assigned to mines, and women were assigned to make salt. .As for the main personnel, Jin Qiyun was directly sentenced to death.

In fact, how to distinguish between knowing and not knowing?That is, the other departments of Jin Duo's branch are unaware, and the branch of Chengguo Gongfu is naturally aware of it.

Of course, if there is evidence to point it out, then just like Jin Qiyun, he has something to do with the Hu people. That is not a normal situation. The emperor would never be lenient, even if the common people feel that the Chengguo Mansion should not exist.

The Hu people bullied the people of Dasheng so much at the border, and Cheng Guogong's mansion actually hooked up with the Hu people!It is tolerable or unbearable!

In particular, some insightful people pointed out that the reason why Dasheng's army had guarded the border for more than ten years was probably because Jin Qiyun gave the Hu people information, which made Dasheng's side always dissatisfied with the Hu people.

Such arguments have a great market among the common people.

In particular, the officials who were ordered to deal with the original Chengguo Mansion found evidence of Jin Qiyun's search for the people's fat and people's anointing, and the people became even more excited.

The emperor was also very angry. Tongxuanhou Qianzheng said before that the Chengguo government secretly bought the land at a low price in the name of the Xiao family. Originally, the emperor thought it was Tongxuanhou Qianzheng who gave the Chengguo government eye drops , I didn't expect it to be true.

In this way, the ups and downs of Yuancheng Guogong's mansion made Dasheng collectively despise it again.

Of course, Cheng Guo Gong Jin Duo was also a hero in the founding of the country. The emperor specially mercifully demoted him and the Zhuo family to civilians and sent them back to Xiangzhou to be guarded.

As for the Xiao family, the eldest house is naturally the same as Cheng Guogong's mansion. Although Mr. and Mrs. Xiao have always said that they don't know what happened, they were still sent to mine for salt production.

The same goes for the Xiaohu couple and the Xiaozhou couple. Originally, Jin Bin was glad that she was married, but now she is still going to make salt. On the one hand, do not agree.

Xiao Hu also wanted his wife, Qian Shi, to intercede with Tongxuanhou, but unfortunately Tongxuanhou Qianzheng made it clear that this was done by the Xiao family, so the Xiao family should do whatever they want!

As for his daughter Qian Min, Qian Zheng doesn't think it is important to have a son, so let's make salt, because he can also exercise, right?

Before Jin Piao was Qian Zheng's concubine, she was already pregnant, so Qian Zheng simply had Jin Piao fed abortion pills and sent back.

No matter what, at first Qian Zheng didn't expect the Jin family to be so bold. If the Jin family just searched the fields, Qian Zheng would naturally keep Jin Piao, but Qian Zheng would never dare to talk to Jin Piao again if he had an affair with a barbarian. relationship.

Even the Zhuo family, who was married to Jin Duo, was also investigated by the emperor. No matter what the facts were, the Zhuo family had played a side ball, and the people also had opinions on the Zhuo family.

Sui Leping had been living in the palace before, and when Cheng Guogong's mansion was disposed of, Sui Leping asked the emperor to let him out of the palace, not for Jin Liang who had been suppressed and separated by the emperor, but for his child Jin Kang.

This little child is only half a year old now, and his body is not very good. No matter who his father is, Sui Leping will always be his mother, flesh and blood...

But the emperor didn't allow it, the queen mother didn't allow it, and the prince Lin didn't allow it either. Concubine Gong almost begged Sui Leping not to pay any attention to that child, because it would be fine if it was something else, but the Jin family's affair with the Hu people must not be let go After all, Jin Kang is the direct heir of the Jin family, so it is natural that he cannot be raised by Sui Leping's side.

In the end, Jin Kang was waived by the emperor and sent to an ordinary family who didn't know about it. The emperor originally planned to send Jin Kang to Jin Duo and return to Xiangzhou with the old Jin Duo couple, but Jin Duo felt that he was a collaborator. The heir is too heavy, I hope the emperor will show mercy and find a good family for Jin Kang to adopt.

The emperor understood Jin Duo's thoughts. Fame is one aspect, and another aspect is that as long as the Sui family is still in the world, people from the Jin family of Jin Duo's lineage cannot participate in the imperial examination. He has no promise, but if Jin Kang is raised in someone else's house, he may have a bright future.

Another thing is that the Jin family is an aristocratic family. This time, Jin Duo's lineage has made other Jin clan members look down upon. The Jin family will probably be replaced by others in the past five major families. Even if Jin Duo and his wife return to Xiangzhou, life will not It is conceivable that Jin Duo really dare not take care of a child who is more than half a year old.

After all, the emperor felt sorry for Jin Kang, he was his grandson anyway, if Jin Qiyun hadn't done too much, the emperor would not be willing to deal with him like this.

The reason why Jin Qiyun had an affair with Hu people was very simple, because Jin Qiyun, or his father, Jin Duo, was of Hu people's blood. Hu people's daughters as concubines were actually just a novelty at the time.

As a result, the son of the concubine's family got ahead, and then the son of the concubine's family flourished, and after a few generations, he came back to Jin Duo's father and Jin Duo.

Originally, Jin Duo thought that this matter should be kept a secret, but his son Jin Qiyun knew about it for some reason. If he knew it, he would know it, but Jin Qiyun felt that he lacked a sense of security in Dasheng.

So Jin Qiyun planned to contact the Hu people, if the Hu people ruled the world, he would be safe, right?Later, King De took the initiative to wave an olive branch, and Jin Qiyun became even more excited.

So sometimes people really don't apply the knowledge they have learned, and they clearly say that they have to look at things comprehensively. Why doesn't Jin Qiyun think about it, it seems that he has more blood in Dasheng, right?

People without brains are always without brains.

The emperor of Prince De's Mansion did not move, of course it was only on the surface, but in fact he took care of all the people in Prince De's Mansion. This is also thanks to King De and Princess De. In order to reduce the sense of existence, King De has never been out of the mansion very much, so people It's normal not to see him for three to five months.

As for De Wang Concubine Liu, a series of actions such as punishing standing, whipping, kneeling on boards, etc. in De Wang's mansion have already shocked the wives of the various mansions, so why would they go for a walk in De Wang's mansion.

As for the empress, the emperor still let her stay in Feifeng Palace well, took back all the powers, and directly asked Concubine Qing to take care of her and Concubine Jing to assist, and the few officials in the Jiang family also let the emperor do all kinds of things. Excuse me, and then all sent to the countryside to farm.

It wasn't that the emperor was unwavering in his affection for the empress, but that the emperor now looked at Sui Ye more pleasingly. According to the orthodoxy, the Qing concubine could not be righted, so if possible, the emperor was not willing to find a queen who could take care of things.

Now there are two concubines in the emperor's palace who are about to give birth. If the baby is a girl, the emperor is ready to teach Sui Ye well. After all, Sui Ye has a good background and is going to marry a girl from the Zhou family.

Besides, even if the emperor gave birth to a prince in the future, Sui Ye's son and his grandson might not necessarily be older...

The time slowly moved to March. Although there was no excitement about the draft and selection of concubines, there were still many candidates from all over Dasheng who took part in the general examination, so this time the Youth Picking Festival was still very lively, but this time the youth Caijun is something to watch.

Prince's Mansion of Lianyang County

Rong Ningjin has just passed the exam. Although Rong Ningjin has stopped going to the Imperial College since she was pregnant, she still has to take the exam. However, it is very tiring for ordinary people to take the exam. Besides, Rong Ningjin is still holding up She has a stomach, but it's okay, although Rong Ningjin is heavy, she can still sit still.

And considering Rong Ningjin's situation, the official in charge of the examination ordered someone to arrange a single room for Rong Ningjin, which was large and comfortable, and also arranged for a special person to take care of the food for the pregnant woman. Husband, you really can't say anything.

However, many people joked: The child in Rong Ningjin's stomach is probably the youngest to take part in the examination!

Now Rong Ningjin is lying on the bed resting, Sui Heng is sitting beside her, when she went to the examination room to pick up Rong Ningjin, Rong Ningjin was already extremely tired, dangling on the carriage and fell asleep She fell asleep, and later it was Sui Heng who carried Rong Ningjin onto the chariot, but Rong Ningjin also continued to sleep.

Later, Sui Heng simply put Rong Ningjin on the inside of the bed, and Sui Heng sat on the outside by himself. Sui Heng was neither tired nor sleepy, but he just wanted to be with Rong Ningjin well.

Rong Ningjin fell asleep directly until dinner, and Xue Yin was considerate of her daughter-in-law, so she ordered the kitchen to cook a table of dishes for Rong Ningjin and Sui Heng, all of which were easy to digest.

Seeing Rong Ningjin eating with gusto, Sui Heng was helping Rong Ningjin pick the fishbone. Rong Ningjin likes to eat fish, and prefers to eat fish soup, but the fish soup made by the cook of the county prince's mansion is not very good. Naturally, Rong Ningjin was not used to it, but the steamed fish made by the cook was not bad, so Rong Ningjin made do with it.

"Don't just look after me, why don't you eat it yourself?" Rong Ningjin looked at Sui Heng helping him pick the fishbones and said, Rong Ningjin didn't want the maids to help him pick the fishbones, so he did it himself, but Sui Heng was also helping him.

"Hehe, I probably won't remember when you fell asleep in the afternoon. My mother-in-law was afraid that you would sleep all the time, but she didn't have any food in her stomach. She said she wanted to feed you some food. Dad ordered the kitchen to make a bowl of bird's nest porridge, and gave you half a bowl. , I drank the rest, and I'm not too hungry now." Sui Heng said with a smile.

'Hmm...' Rong Ningjin felt that when he was sleeping in the afternoon, something was biting his mouth, and something was being fed in. He thought it was a hallucination. It turned out that Sui Heng was feeding him bird's nest porridge!So he leaned close to Sui Heng's ear and whispered, "You actually took advantage of me without knowing it!"

Seeing Rong Ningjin whispering, Sui Heng knew that Rong Ningjin didn't want to say this in front of the maid, so he comforted him, "Okay, let's eat quickly, my father-in-law and elder brother will come over again tomorrow, and they came here this afternoon. But you slept so soundly that I couldn't bear to wake you up."

Rong Ningjin nodded, he is indeed very hungry, is he pregnant, so now he is struggling between hunger and sleepiness.

"How did the exam go, did the child bother you?" Sui Heng listened to Rong Ningjin's persuasion, and ate a few mouthfuls of food, but he still wanted to ask his big baby and little baby.

"Well, of course I'm fine. It's just that the little guy is probably boring. After punching him a few times, I have to stop as soon as he feels comfortable. Fortunately, there is enough time." Rong Ningjin took a bite when the child started to move. I was surprised, but later I enjoyed myself playing the game of greeting with the baby in my stomach.

After dinner, Rong Ningjin went with Sui Heng, and they arranged for father Zhou Jing to live next door, but the maid said that Zhou Jing went to Rong Ningjin's mother-in-law, Xue Yin.

Rong Ningjin thought that it happened to be a conversation together, so she went to her mother-in-law's yard.Sui Heng originally wanted Rong Ningjin to sit in a chariot, but of course Rong Ningjin didn't want to, so let's go for a walk if you're full!

Zhou Jing, Xue Yin, and Sui Ying were playing upgrades, and when they saw Rong Ningjin coming over, they stopped playing and followed Rong Ningjin to ask questions.

Rong Ningjin knew that they cared about her, so she said that she would take the test, although she was tired and sleepy.

But fortunately, this year's weather is warm, the food is fresh, and the accommodation has been specially arranged, so Rong Ningjin's test trip is okay.

"It's not bad, how's your grades? Your father is looking forward to seeing you as a prostitute!" Zhou Jing joked as he looked at his youngest son with a frank and confident look.

"Don't worry, father, there must be no problem." Rong Ningjin narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Speaking of the matter in Cheng Guogong's mansion before, it was Sui Heng and Rong Ningjin who made contributions, and the emperor could not give any rewards directly. After all, it was revealed that Prince Lin found out, but now Sui Heng has been transferred to the Ministry of War.

Rong Ningjin is pregnant now, and she must be on maternity leave later, so it is very necessary to give Rong Ningjin a good ranking.

Moreover, in this test, the questions given by the emperor are very consistent with the emperor's long-standing policies. Rong Ningjin always hangs around in the palace, and is driven by Sui Heng and his father Rong Anxian, so he still understands these policies very well. ,but……

"Father, the matter of Duke Cheng's mansion this time must have touched the Holy Majesty a lot. Through the questions of this test, my son feels that the Holy Majesty will have an idea of ​​the style of each nobleman and the ability of the officials, so..."

Rong Ningjin paused, glanced at Sui Heng and Xue Yin and continued, "If it's an honest gain, the Holy Majesty will only be happy and won't say anything. It is estimated that the nobles will be inspected now, and the officials estimate that It will be checked."

Before Rong Anxian conducted an assessment at the Ministry of Household Affairs, so many moths were found in the examination, the emperor looked eager to try it.

Now that there is a lot of discussion about the affairs of Cheng Guogong's mansion, the people are talking about it. It is strange that the emperor can still control it. After all, the thoughts of the people in Dasheng are still very important, especially this is how the world of the Sui family came about.

The emperor was still thinking about turning the Chengyuan Dynasty into a prosperous age, how could such an existence be allowed.
