Chapter 461
With Yang Zong's leadership, several other families also said that it was concubine Shao Shu from Yude Palace who had been entrusted.
In fact, it can be seen at this time, what is Concubine Shao Shu?
The base is too thin.
If it was Concubine Wan Gui from Zhaode Palace, they would definitely think about it. After all, the three Wan brothers all worked in Jinyiwei and had good friends with Shang Ming from Dongchang.
But Concubine Shao Shu of Yude Palace?What is that?
An adopted daughter of a eunuch.
The boy from the Shao family called himself "Uncle Guo", and the dudes in Beijing didn't hang out with him.
Because I think he is a little careless.
So at this time, they betrayed Concubine Shao Shu from Yude Palace without hesitation.
"Concubine Shao Shu of my harem, help you track down the whereabouts of the princesses?" Emperor Xianzong now lost the last bit of affection for Concubine Shao Shu in his heart.
It doesn't matter if a woman is stupid, but you can't distinguish between inside and outside!
Colluded with foreign ministers, leaked the forbidden Chinese language.
It seems that Concubine Shao Shu doesn't want to be this "Concubine Shu" anymore.
"Come here!" Now that the question came out, Emperor Xianzong issued an imperial decree on the spot to deprive Concubine Shu of her title, demote her to be a beauty, move out of Yude Palace, and move to Changyang Palace.
It would be fine if he just withdrew like this, but then Emperor Xianzong said: "There are also concubines Ji, Pi Zhao Shuhui, and Heng Huang Youze, who are respectful and cautious, have a peaceful nature, and Zang Jiacheng, Ask Shu in Xuan Palace; bow respectfully, the tree is famous in Jiaoye, and once accepted the empress dowager's benevolent order, and sealed you as concubine Shu with a booklet. Wang Ermao is gentle and respectful, accepts her husband's good life, and is humble, Shuyong gathers her husband Fanxi. Give it to live in Yude Palace, Qinzai."
Where is Changyang Palace?
It is located in the east of Zhongcui Palace and north of Yong'an Palace. It is a relatively remote palace, at the northernmost end!
It's just a wall away from the cold palace!
Instead, she and Wu Feihou became neighbors.
And the Ji family also leapt to become Concubine Ji Shu.
She was only promoted to Concubine Ji yesterday, now she becomes Concubine Ji Shu.
Everyone was stunned by Emperor Xianzong's arbitrary conferment of the harem, but Wu Youwei was a little nervous, because in history, Ji's early death was posthumous as "Concubine Gong Ke Zhuang Xi Shu", and his posthumous posthumous title was Xiao Xiao. Mu Cihui respectfully Ke Zhuang Xi Chongtian Chengsheng Empress, moved to Maoling.
After Emperor Xianzong issued the imperial edict of promotion and denunciation to the harem, he began to punish these people in front of him, and almost everyone was not spared.
The most serious thing is the deprivation of the title, and the title of Yang Zong's family did not keep it.
The lightest thing is to demote their posts to serve the people, among which the censor officials have all demoted their posts to serve the people.
After Emperor Xianzong finished dealing with it, Li Dongyang of the cabinet began to report on the matter. Jiangxi has been raining continuously this summer, and some of the repaired dams have been flooded.
"Isn't it cement?" Emperor Xianzong attached great importance to this.
"It was built with cement, but there was too much water, it couldn't be stopped, and it overflowed." Li Dongyang said: "The Vice Capital Censor Mou Feng has brought people there to rescue, but the continuous rain cannot raise the dam."
"Let the Ministry of Households prepare disaster relief supplies and deliver them immediately after the beginning of autumn in August." Emperor Xianzong didn't like this kind of natural disaster very much, because there were always people who wanted him to condemn himself, saying that it was God's punishment.
He thinks it's all fart!
How can natural disasters be controlled by him?
The same is true of God, always making things difficult for him, the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I suggest some more measures." Wu Youwei took the opportunity and said, "For example, use lime to disinfect. Since the local area is flooded, the water quality must be muddy. I hope the local people can pay attention to drinking water... .”
The process of disaster relief is similar in ancient and modern times, except that the modern equipment is better, and the purified water is transported in buckets. At this time, it is drinking well water, which can only be settled first, and then boiled to drink.
The second is the defecation of humans and animals, as well as the corpses of local drowned people and livestock. Humans must be cremated, and animals cannot be eaten, and they must be burned to ashes and buried.
Disinfect with lime powder, and prepare a lot of medicinal materials, the kind that can clear away the plague and detoxify, such as Radix Isatidis, honeysuckle and so on.
Another thing is to evacuate the local people and let them go out and not stay there. Although it is said that it is difficult to leave their homeland, but if they don't leave, no one will care about them when the flood comes.
"Luo Aiqing, what do you think?" Emperor Xianzong asked Luo Lun.
Luo Lun said calmly: "I think it is feasible, but it still needs the help of several nearby state capitals to evacuate the refugees."
"That's right, if you're going along the way, why not go to Songjiang Mansion?" Li Dongyang also said, "There's a shortage of manpower there!"
Songjiang Mansion has developed in the past two years, and there is a shortage of manpower!
Especially the textile factories were set up one by one, with too few manpower, women all entered the factory buildings, and even many men.
But those men are all separate factories.
Men and women do not work together, which is the biggest concession of this era.
And Zhang Sheng didn't want men and women to mix together, so no one would be able to calm down and work, and they would all be talking nonsense there.
"Well, then you can take the road to Songjiang Mansion." Emperor Xianzong said: "There are still people going to Guangzhou. I heard that the factory is also opened there?"
"Yes, opened the factory."
"The post stations along the road have prepared dry food so that they can walk over." Emperor Xianzong sighed: "I hope they can persist to the place."
"Your Majesty, there are public transport carriages in Songjiang Mansion, how about introducing public transport carriages?" Wu Youwei said, "In this way, refugees can take the carriages."
Emperor Xianzong knew the benefits of the bus carriages. The most important thing was the ticket money. Apart from paying the staff of the bus carriages and repairing roads, at least half of the wealth was still there.
This half, if it accumulates, it will be owned by the imperial court.
Giving money to the imperial court is equivalent to adding money to the Ministry of Households. Could Emperor Xianzong not like it?
"That's right. Back then you said it was a trial run, but now I think it's good, so let's promote it nationwide." Emperor Xianzong said: "Also, the post station needs to be rebuilt, and it needs to be bigger."
Wu Youwei took the opportunity to propose a postal system.
Both Li Dongyang and Luo Lun agreed, but Liu Daxia, who was already a servant in the Ministry of War, suggested: "It's better to invite some retired disabled soldiers to serve as postmen. They are injured, but it's okay to drive a carriage. A salary can support the family. It can also reflect the benevolence of the emperor, and they have all fought in wars, and they can punch and kick. If they encounter bandits and bullies, they can also teach them a lesson."
"That's fine, Your Majesty. When the time comes, it's not just one person who will deliver the letters, but at least four to six or eight, because at the beginning it's just sending letters, and later there will be others who deliver things. Small items can be carried, and large items can be carried." Let a few people carry it." Wu Youwei said: "Since it is a disabled soldier, it must be carried by four people, and they may need six people. So the more people there are, the better!"
In fact, it is necessary to arrange a lot of disabled soldiers to go to work. With wages, they can also support themselves and their families.
So several people discussed the postal system in court, and the ministers were drawn to the attention. The son-in-law's family wanted to get rid of it several times, and then thought of the punishment, each of them was overwhelmed.
And because it was a serious matter, they couldn't get in their mouths, like ants on a hot pot in a hurry.
The morning meeting didn't end until before lunch, and the group was already hungry, so they went out of the palace and went straight to the house, hurrying to eat.
Emperor Xianzong invited Li Dongyang and Wu You to have dinner for them, and continued to discuss the postal system in the afternoon.
Wantong finally waited for Emperor Xianzong.
Emperor Xianzong smiled when he saw him: "I can't wait, who are you asking for mercy?"
"Who is the minister pleading for? The minister has something to announce!" Wantong said with a cold face: "Several people have told the minister that the minister is not accommodating, and they will sue the imperial court!"
"Someone has already sued Jin Yiwei today, saying that Jin Yiwei is rampant." Emperor Xianzong said with a smile: "It's not once that Jin Yiwei has been rampant. It's the same old tune."
This is nothing serious!
Wan Tongdao: "I'm here to tell you about the sons-in-law. They live very well in the imperial prison. I didn't beat them, scolded them, and didn't abuse them."
"Oh?" Emperor Xianzong became interested when he heard this: "Then why did you ask so many of them... Ah, the hidden outer house, the raised outer house?"
Wantong said coldly: "I give them good food and drink, but just don't let them sleep!"
This trick was taught by Wu Youwei. They were not allowed to sleep, they kept asking questions over and over again, and when they were asked they had a nervous breakdown, they were not allowed to sleep if they did not answer, they were given water and food, but they were not allowed to sleep. Who can stand this?
They summoned everything, even the two maids who secretly slept at home.
Emperor Xianzong laughed angrily after reading their confessions: "There are also house maids secretly rewarded by the mothers of the sons-in-law. When they descended to the princess, they all said that their sons were there. How outstanding are they?" , now it seems that they are all farts!"
This is being short-tempered.
"Your majesty, the eldest princess is about to reach her age... I'm worried..." Wantong said with a sad face: "H will choose a son-in-law in the future, and the minister will definitely use public weapons for private use, investigate those brats thoroughly." , no matter how old they are when they wet the bed, they must know!"
"Ah?" Emperor Xianzong was also depressed by what Wantong said, but then he was surprised: "You even have to ask how old you are when you wet the bed?"
"In case he wets the bed until he is seven or eight years old, I heard that it is a disease, and it will affect his children in the future!" Wan Tongdao: "Also, is there any family medical history in the family? For example, did he die well? Or did he die of illness? If the health is not good, will the son-in-law's health also be bad?......."
The more Emperor Xianzong heard it, the more he felt that this was so necessary!
In the end, Wantong sacrificed a whole book of the contracts that Wu Youwei had signed with those brother-in-laws and son-in-laws.
Each of the above conditions was carefully selected by Wu Youwei, including not having concubines, concubine rooms, going to brothels and Chu houses, supporting pitiful opera singers, and so on.
Don't accept dick, don't mess with men and women, including men and men.
Seeing this, Emperor Xianzong laughed.
Maid Wu is indeed very concerned about her sisters and daughters: "I heard he has a son? He is the posthumous son left by his elder brother."
"Yes, I'm seven or eight years old, and I'm very naughty all day long." Wan Tao said, "Jumping up and down every day, I'm good at studying, but my sports performance is also good."
Emperor Xianzong thought for a while: "Let's go, let's go to dinner first. Today's court meeting also talked about the postal service. I left a few people for lunch. You can follow me!"
"Okay, I'm also greedy for the imperial food in the palace." Wantong clasped his fists together: "You are welcome."
Emperor Xianzong liked the frankness of the Wan family, because the Wan family had no ambitions, otherwise he would not have entrusted Jin Yiwei to them.
In fact, there are no precious ingredients in the imperial meal, just fresh.
Boiled lettuce, sweet and sour lotus root balls, Panlong eggplant and Dinghu Shangsu.
The staple food turned out to be over-watered noodles and marinated pork shreds with sharp peppers.
Wu Youwei saw Wantong during the meal, and Wantong just nodded to him, and when the two of them made eye contact, they understood each other.
It's just that Wu Youwei felt familiar when he saw this imperial meal, right!
When they went out, they took the prince and the two princesses to eat similar to the imperial meal.
Emperor Xianzong was hinting to him that he acquiesced in allowing the princesses to leave the palace...?
During the meal, everyone was still thinking about things. After lunch, Wantong and Wu Youwei went to Ciqing Palace. The little prince was still worried about them. He was very happy to see them come back: "Father did not punish you. sir?"
"No." Wu Youwei patted the little crown prince's head: "I'm very good, the emperor is a pioneering emperor, and he is a very enlightened monarch."
The little prince's eyes sparkled: "Yes!"
Wantong pursed his lips and smiled.
At noon, they took a nap in Ciqing Palace.
In the afternoon, Wu Youwei asked Wantong to attend the practical class with the little prince, while he himself was summoned by Emperor Xianzong to the imperial study to discuss postal matters.
At the same time, Li Ji took people to Yude Palace.
