Spring flowers

Chapter 395, Lord Shangshu is cruel

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming in August, and the osmanthus flowers are fragrant. Empress Dowager Zhang smiled at the osmanthus. The emperor sat beside her, smiling and talking to her.

"When the master came back, Beijing naturally became quiet." When Chu Taifu returned to Beijing, the voice of the abandoned empress dowager naturally died. Just like when it came, it was as sudden when it left.

The emperor said that the Empress Dowager Zhang was also grateful and sighed to a little osmanthus: "Of course, the minister of the former emperor is different." Picking off the osmanthus and twisting it in her hand, the Empress Dowager said kindly to the emperor, "In my opinion, what else should I seal for Taifu?"

"The mother's words are bad," the emperor showed another old man, waved his hand to the palace maids and eunuchs, and said calmly to the empress dowager, "Taifu's official can no longer be sealed."

Upward, it is the honor of the prince and uncle, and the other is the prince. Empress Dowager Zhang was still a woman and said to the emperor disapprovingly, "If there is no Taifu, the emperor, your country will be unstable."

The emperor said steadily, "That can't be sealed anymore. Queen Mother, I tell you the truth, that is, don't talk to anyone in the future and bring this message out. The princes in our dynasty are all hereditary ministers. Without excessive military achievements, you can't open up territory for me, and you can't be crowned king.

Ah? So that's it." Empress Dowager Zhang was surprised on her delicate face and said quickly, "I don't understand." The emperor smiled and said, "If you want to seal the Duke and so on, how can you seal the Chu family in the future? I have asked people to draw up a decree to seal Chu Huaixian, the son of Taifu, to be in charge of the official department.

Empress Dowager Zhang just wanted to express her gratitude to show that the mother and son did not forget their gratitude. Hearing this sentence, she felt that she could be satisfied: "That's all right."

"Although Chu Huaixian is a little young, he is a loyal man." The emperor narrowed his eyes in the west wind and smiled and said, "Give him the position of secretary of the Ministry of officials and then the title of his eldest son Jin Wuwei. He also has two sons. There is a time for him to serve."

The well-organized emperor made Empress Dowager Zhang even more gratified. In this relief, the Empress Dowager thought of the late emperor, her eyes turned red, and tears rolled out.

The emperor didn't see it, but in fact, he also thought of the emperor in his heart. Seeing that the empress dowager quietly wiped away her tears, the emperor said to the empress dowager in a discussion tone, "The meaning of the empress dowager is to be sealed by the Empress Dowager An and the two dead imperial concubines to calm everyone. Empress Dowager, what do you mean?

Empress dowager Zhang quickly said, "Sure enough, Taifu is right. Seal it," which can block the population and make Empress Dowager Zhang feel more comfortable. Sometimes when she saw the maids and eunuchs, she was worried about whether they were slandering and whether they were wrong with the emperor.

Sometimes when I see the imperial concubines in the palace, I am particularly humble and polite. The Empress Dowager Zhang was about to collapse when she was killed by her uncle of the two countries.

At this time, I heard that please calm people's hearts. Of course, Empress Dowager Zhang agreed.

The emperor also smiled: "Actually, some of the ministers said that they asked Taifu for a seal, but after Taifu presented it to me, he refused."

Chu Taifu felt that he had come to the time of hiding his light and obscurity. However, for the emperor's appointment as a minister to Chu Huaixian, Chu Taifu only politely resigned and agreed.

The hard life of a father is not for his children and grandchildren.

So, Chu Huaixian, a young official who was less than 30 years old, was promoted.

Xiaochu is about to give birth, and Chu Huaixian will be promoted again. This is a great joy for the Chu family. Mrs. Chu sat in ** and said to the second lady and the third lady with a smile, "Look, I'm right. Since Huaixian was born, I have known that he is promising."

In the ** bushes in the yard, there were still Brother Yu and Brother Ji. Mrs. Chu pointed to these two and said, "These two are also promising."

Xiaochu, who had a big belly stool, also quickly smiled: "Yes." Of course, Xiaochu knew that if Mrs. Chu said that her son was promising, she would not praise her granddaughter-in-law. She wants to praise, just to praise her grandson.

"Your husband is now an official in charge of the Ministry of Officials. What about you? Do you like it?" Mrs. Chu asked Xiaochu, and Xiaochu quickly laughed with him: "I like it. I like it very much. I like it as much as the prince."

At this time, Chu Huaixian was in the official department, but he didn't like it very much. On his third day in office, he met someone he didn't want to see in his life. Zheng Yi, Mr. Zheng, stood opposite him at this time. Although he smiled and nodded his head and bowed, his eyes were unconvinced, relieved, and felt that he raised his eyebrows and exhaled.

Chu Huaixian looked at the official document on the table and couldn't believe his eyes. How can he win this straw bag?

"Thanks to you for taking care of my wife during the rebellion." Chu Huaixian said it unnaturally. After hearing Xiaochu, he only asked someone to thank Zheng's family in the name of Xiaochu. Now that this person is standing in front of him, Mr. Chu is very awkward to thank him. Then he said slowly, "I'll give you a land of fish and rice. Go to take office."

Zheng Yi kowtowed out and could only continue.

When Chu Huaixian came back at night, Xiaochu smiled: "Lord Shangshu is back. Come here quickly. I have something to say to you." Chu Huaixian sat over and stroked Xiaochu's belly first: "I'm coming out. This time, it must be my daughter."

"What my grandmother is thinking about every day is her great-grandson." Xiaochu smiled. Although the Chu family had few daughters, Mrs. Chu still wanted a boy as soon as she lifted Xiaochu's stomach.

Xiaochu leaned on Chu Huaixian: "Give Xiaoyi to the land," he said worriedly, looked at Chu Huaixian's Xiaochu worriedly, and got Chu Huaixian's favorite answer: "Okay!"

In this way, you don't have to worry that your uncle will come to the Chu family to see Xiaochu all day long. Chu Huaixian said to Xiaochu Road: "Maybe at that time, Colonel Zhang liked your sister, right?"

Xiaochu's serious attachment: "You're right. Maybe at that time, he liked Xiaoyi."

These two people, one is not the body of Xiaochu, and the other is the husband who loves Xiaochu. They unscrupulously put forward and agree with this statement, and then began to discuss the dowry.

After discussing the dowry, Chu Huaixian lazily told Xiaochu, "That Zheng Yi is that..." In this lazy and casual tone, Chu Huaixian said, "I assigned him an official position."

Xiaochu heard this ancient place name and didn't understand where it was. Chu Huaixian took a lot of time to explain. Xiaochu was stunned in the local area: "You? Is that called the hometown of fish and rice?

"Why don't you call it? People who come back from there say that fish and shrimp are delicious and cheap, which is a good place. Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "And he has to take office early tomorrow morning, because there has been no state official there for two years. Don't worry, there are still soldiers guarding, although the local area is full of natives, nothing can happen.

Xiaochu opened his mouth and said, "In a ravine, it is difficult to get out and enter. As soon as you explained, I remembered that Mrs. Guan said that if someone was sent to this place, he would definitely be spending some money and unwilling to go.

"It won't be like this in the future. Now I'm in charge of the official department. It's okay not to go." Chu Huaixian said, and his face tilted down and shouted at the girls: "Supper, I'm hungry."

Xiaochu bit his lips for a while and gently pushed Chu Huaixian: "He is the only son of their family, and you also give him a good place to go." Chu Huaixian smiled and said, "Well, there are food and drink, and the local girl's bride price is also cheap."

Xiaochu had no choice but to stare at him for a while and had to give up.

Zheng Yi took office early the next morning, and the family was sent outside the capital. There are not many followers because the family refuses to follow. It is said that it is a barbarian land, and all the families who can avoid it have escaped.

In the autumn wind and high sun, Zheng's second official burst into tears, but with a smile on his face, he held Zheng Yi's hand tightly: " boss, your ancestors have accumulated virtue. You are finally hit, and you are about to become an official. Before leaving, the second uncle has a sentence to tell you, and you have to remember it.

Zheng Yi, dressed in a brand-new official uniform, also burst into tears: "Uncle, tell me." Zheng Erguan cried: "I want you to be an official, and the salary for a year is not enough for you to drink a drink. You don't have to save it. Your family will send you money from time to time. The second uncle wants to tell you, don't scrape the land. If you scrape too much land, it will hurt the ground. If the grain is not long, you are not good as an official. I don't ask you to make much achievements, just ask you to be in front of it.

Seeing Zheng Yi nodding, Zheng's second official said, "It's difficult to be an official without scraping the land. You should scrape less. Others scrape three layers, and you scrape one layer." Zheng Yi smiled with tears and then told Zheng's second official: "Miss Xiaochu is about to give birth. The congratulatory gift I gave her is in the third layer of the book on the bookshelf. Second uncle, I was going to send it by myself, but now I have to trouble you to send it for me."

"Oc, I'll send it to you. Lord Chu, alas, it's really playing the piano randomly." Everyone in the Zheng family understands that the new Shangshu in the Ministry of Officials is Chu Huaixian, and it would be strange if Mr. Zheng was sent to a good place. The two officials sighed: "At least I will give you an official. I thought it would be better for you to be a poor Beijing official in Beijing than to go so far. It will take a year to get there. Alas, it's farther than Tang Monk's scriptures.

"Uncle, there is a boat, and it will arrive in half a year." Zheng Yi said, "I heard that it's not easy to go into the mountains. If you accidentally slip down, you will have to delay your appointment.

It's getting late. Near noon, Zheng Yi cruelly broke away from Zheng Erguan's hand: "I have to go, second uncle. When I get there, I'll get some good medicinal materials for you."

In the west wind of the ancient road, a good horse sat Zheng Yi, a mule, and a family member. Except for this family who has no family and no one in the family, there is no third person willing to go. Zheng Erguan looked at this pair of figures and burst into tears again.

Lord Chu, you are so cruel.
