Chapter 462 Punishment
Concubine Shao Shu couldn't believe that she lost her identity and status in this way.
"Please Shao Meiren to move as soon as possible." Li Ji said with a straight face: "This place will be cleaned soon."
Then naturally Concubine Ji Shu moved in.
"I want to see the emperor! I want to see the emperor!" Concubine Shao Shu couldn't believe that the emperor liked her so much, the meeting between the two of them was so wonderful, the emperor would not treat her like this!
They really loved each other, and the emperor soon let her have a child, and she was still a prince!
She is Concubine Shao, Concubine Shao!
"Shao Meiren, you are not the lord of the first house now, so you are not qualified to call yourself the first house." Li Ji said with a cold face: "If you don't clean up, our family will ask someone to help you clean up."
People like them have the sharpest eyes. At the beginning, my father said that this woman's honor and favor are vain.
He didn't understand it before, but now he understands that Zhaode Palace is still the most honored and favored, and fortunately his father and Zhaode Palace have a good relationship, and these people have also risen with the tide.
Concubine Shao Shu was crying, but no one paid any attention to her. According to the rules, there is only one big maid or one big eunuch, two young maids and two eunuchs to serve her. The court lady and four eunuchs served.
But "Shu Concubine Empress" and "Shao Meiren" are two levels of people.
Concubine Shao Shu's eunuch adoptive father had exhausted all his strength in offering her as "Concubine Shu", and all the favors in the palace had been exhausted.
So there were not many favors left, and Concubine Shao Shu was in the palace, so her adoptive father naturally provided money and bought some people.
But this kind of bribery was when she was "Concubine Shao Shu", now she is "Shao Shumei", two grades, anyway, the money has already been obtained, and it seems that there is no possibility of recovery, who will take care of her?
Everyone is as far away from her as possible, for fear that if they are chosen to serve her, there will be no hope in this life.
It is of course a great honor to be able to serve Concubine Shu, but it would be boring to serve a beauty named Shao.
Li Jicai didn't care what they thought, so he pointed out someone to wait on him at will, then packed his things, moved away all the things Shao Meiren used, then cleaned, replaced the doors, windows, and furniture to welcome the new concubine Ji Shu to move in.
In the Yushufang, they are discussing the establishment of the post office and the reform of various post stations.
Wu Youwei also proposed the National Hotel. Instead of letting the postmen make money secretly, it is better to let them openly engage in second jobs.
The imperial court only needs to collect taxes. Of course, postmen cannot be fixed.
And it has to be accounted for every quarter.
This requires a hand from the Ministry of Accounts.
As a result, the Ministry of Households also needs to recruit personnel, especially those who study mathematics, who can calculate accounts and read books....
Until dinner, Emperor Xianzong gave the imperial meal again. Because of the hot weather, the food was very light. There was only one meat dish, which was cold-cut five-spice smoked rabbit meat.
However, Ciqing Palace sent some green vegetables, which were harvested from the little prince's vegetable garden.
The basket contained a dozen eggplants, several tomatoes, a cabbage, a dozen green peppers and shallots, coriander, and fresh green garlic dug from the ground.
"This is the fruit of His Royal Highness's hard work, and I will be able to enjoy it today." Wu Youwei introduced with a smile: "His Royal Highness is very concerned about people's livelihood issues, and it is my great blessing."
As the crown prince of a dynasty, the little prince can grow vegetables himself. Everyone thinks that this is the childhood of a wise emperor. In fact, Wu Youwei just wanted him to know what is meant by "the day when we hoe the crops at noon, sweat drips down the crops into the soil" That's all.
"Yes! Yes!" Luo Lun sighed: "When I was in Guangzhou, because I wanted to promote double-cropping rice and three-cropping rice, I personally went to the fields with the farmers. Fortunately, I also went to the fields with my parents when I was young." , It’s just that later on I mostly copied letters for others to make money, I haven’t done it for many years, Shimoda is still so hard, I’m so tired that my waist is about to break.”
Not all of them were from rich families. Many of them were farmers when they were young, and went to the fields with their family members, so they had an extraordinary understanding of the hard work of farmers.
So everyone is very optimistic about the little prince.
The son is promising, Emperor Xianzong said to Yourong: "The prince I choose must be a child with both virtue and virtue."
After dinner, Emperor Xianzong finally let him go.
Wu Youwei followed Wantong back home, and as soon as they got home, Wantong hugged Wu Youwei: "How is it?"
"Everything is normal." Wu Youwei patted Wantong's generous back: "It's a piece of cake for me to deal with those people!"
Wantong touched the back of his neck: "Yes."
"I'm sorry, I'm too capricious." Wu Youwei said: "I shouldn't take the princesses out, I just want them to see the outside world."
And what I didn't expect was that the little prince really went to invite him, and the two princesses really agreed.
"No need to apologize." Wantong said with a wry smile: "I am also afraid when I meet those eldest princesses. In the future, the eldest princess...and the fifth princess...I am really worried. So I showed the prenuptial agreement you made to the emperor for review, and if the two princesses descend in the future, they must be read by the consort and signed."
"Actually, the princess has an advantage over the son-in-law, but if they are all housekeepers like that, it doesn't matter how good the relationship between the princess and the son-in-law is." Wu Youwei said: "Princesses have to stand up, and if they can see Ledger, you have to be able to live, not be raised as a pig."
"Well, not bad." Wantong clenched his fists: "I'll talk to Elder Sister tomorrow."
As a result, on the second day, at the court meeting, Emperor Xianzong chirped and reprimanded the concubines, but for the Princess Mansion, there was a big change, and all the slaves were dealt with.
The people who were replaced, one or two were very silent, for fear that the princess would not be served well, and the emperor would do it for her.
The princesses came home from the palace and felt that their home was really different.
Especially later, the Empress Dowager Zhou sent someone to issue a decree to invite the orders of the families above the third grade in Beijing to take turns to greet the princesses.
By the way, the princesses can ask for advice on how to housekeeper, how to govern and so on.
Secondly, all the wives and concubines of the son-in-laws are all served as military prostitutes; all the children born to them are adopted by distant relatives in the side branches.
Emperor Xianzong said with a cold face: "It's the princesses collectively pleading for mercy, that's why I bypassed those evil breeds. According to my intention, let them all die young."
The family members of the concubines wept bitterly, promising not to make mistakes in the future.
Several veteran ministers even expressed that they would let their old wives take care of the house in the future.
"Well, do you want to send some girls who warm the beds and fold quilts for the son-in-law?" Emperor Xianzong sneered and said, "I really don't know that the old wives who love you are so generous. Give a few lovers one person and two concubines, I hope they can spread the branches and leaves for you, and at the same time, they can also share the housework for your old wives."
This is a blatant seizure of power, meddling in other people's backyards.
But who let them also spy on the palace?
Who told their old wives to stuff their sons with women in the first place?
If they don't make their girls feel better, he won't let them stop.
The women bestowed by the emperor are also concubines, that is, noble concubines, which are almost the same as ordinary wives, and Emperor Xianzong asked people to pick out slightly older court ladies who were very scheming and cunning, and guaranteed that all of them would be concubines. House fighting master.
These people are dumb eating Coptis chinensis, and they can't tell their hardships, especially those wives who are in charge of the family, knowing that their husbands have been rewarded by the emperor as concubines, they all really hate it.
But all the mothers who secretly gave women to the son-in-law regretted it. They shouldn't have softened their hearts and found some concubines for their sons.
It's all right now, the retribution is coming, the women rewarded by the emperor can't do without offering, and those who come out of the palace must be better than themselves in terms of rules.
Means... I don't know who is high and who is low.
The sons-in-law continued to be imprisoned, and Wantong did not give them any preferential treatment. They were still living in prison, eating cornmeal buns, eating pickled lumps, and drinking polenta.
Three meals a day, that's all. At most, it's replaced by millet, not even rice.
In the beginning, where can the concubines eat?
But if you don't eat, you will be hungry, no one will spoil them.
As you eat, you get used to it. If you don't eat anyway, you will be hungry.
On this day, they were still eating simple meals, and the two old jailers were guarding the door, chatting slowly: "What do you think these royal relatives think? It's a good day, but you have to make trouble in the imperial prison ?”
"Who knows!" Another said: "I heard that the princesses are very kind-hearted, but it's a pity that those women who are housekeepers for them are not good people..."
The two chatted about the hottest topics recently. The princess's mansion was shaken up, and many of the son-in-law's family were defeated.
In the end, it was said that the reason why the sons-in-law were still alive and not hacked to pieces by His Majesty was because the princesses kept pleading for their love, otherwise, His Majesty would have reconciled them.
The sons-in-law heard it, and felt uncomfortable....
The next day, there were two more shifts on duty, and they were still talking about this matter. I heard that the princesses interceded specifically to prevent the blood of the concubines from being lost. Instead of executing the illegitimate children, they adopted them to others.
After hearing this, the sons-in-law felt even more uncomfortable....
On the third day, it was the same two jailers from the day before yesterday. This time they were talking about the princesses who have children who seem to have feelings for the son-in-law. For those who have no children, the emperor seems to want them to reconcile and is already looking for suitable candidates. , Planning to marry the princesses again! "It's impossible!" Ma Cheng's son-in-law was very depressed: "How can you get married again?"
"How is it impossible?" Another son-in-law was dejected: "The emperor's daughter will not worry about getting married."
What's more, the princess is actually pretty good, but the housekeeper is a bit irritating, and if they don't have the title of captain consort, what are they?
The family has no official position and nobility, and no longer the title of son-in-law, isn't it a commoner?
If you offend the emperor, can you still have a good life?
In this world, there are very few people who give charcoal in a timely manner, and there must be no shortage of people who make trouble.
Common people?They have also bullied ordinary people, and they shudder at the thought of falling into such a field.
On the fourth day, there was new news that some princesses felt that their fate with their son-in-law was over, and they wanted to reconcile, but they were afraid of bad reputation, but the emperor said that they would choose a new son-in-law for them.
Finished!
The sons-in-law couldn't sit still anymore, and told the gatekeeper that they wanted to see the princess.
"Ask to see the princess?" The guard at the gate said contemptuously: "You sons-in-law, don't you know if you can keep your identity? You still want to go out to see the princess? This is the imperial prison! Anyone can come or leave whenever they want place."
After that, don't bother with them anymore.
The sons-in-law felt like mourning, especially the one who took his cousin as his wife, and regretted it terribly. Compared with the princess, the cousin was of course the princess.
At this moment, they realized very clearly the importance of the princess.
Whether they can go out from here, and whether they can continue to live in glory and wealth, depends on the princess.
So when Wanzhuang inspected the sanitation of the imperial prison, he was warmly welcomed by the son-in-law!
Wan Zhuang was terrified: "Everyone, everyone, if you have something to say, speak up!"
He was a bit overwhelmed by such enthusiasm.
"Lord Wan, please do me a favor and send a message to the princess. I know I was wrong, please forgive me, and I will definitely file a case with the princess in the future..."
"Lord Wan, I also ask you to do me a favor and bring a message to the princess. The princess and I are a married couple. Is there anything we can't discuss? Why bother to make peace? I will treat the princess with respect from now on. …”
"Master Wan..."
"Master Wan..."
The sons-in-law went to the doctor in a hurry, grabbed Wan Zhuang and did not let go, begging him to give the princesses a message, all with an attitude of admitting their mistakes.
However, there are also people who have a different attitude.
