In the outer room of Hou Men, she took advantage of her beauty to commit murder

Chapter 68

Luo Siyun was puzzled, "If you just love Madam, you wouldn't envy her so much!"

Although most noble people respect their wives more than they are close to them, there are also some who love their wives very much!

Cheng Wanyi raised his finger, shook it at her, and said, "If it were just like this, of course we wouldn't be envious. At most, we would just sigh and say that Mrs. Cen Xiang has a good life, but!"

She paused and said, "What if Mrs. Cen Xiang cannot have children?"

Seeing Luo Siyun's eyes widening in shock, she withdrew her gaze with satisfaction and continued, "Mrs. Cen Xiang is Dr. Zuo Jianyi, the second daughter of a fourth-rank official. And Cen Xiang was already a fourth-rank official at the age of 25. At the age of 31, he was personally appointed prime minister by the emperor, reaching the first rank."

"...On the second day after he took office as prime minister, when he went to court, someone came to remonstrate, saying that Prime Minister Cen was already over thirty years old, but he did not have a son and a half. He said that there are three kinds of unfilial piety, and that the later is the eldest, saying that Prime Minister Cen should Cen Xiang did not agree to abolish his own wife and marry another one."

"The second time I went to the court, someone came up again and asked Cen Xiang to marry a wife and take a concubine, but Cen Xiang disagreed. Before retiring from the court, the emperor said that Cen Xiang was only a year old and had no heirs. If he was allowed to take a concubine, Cen Xiang also I didn't agree, but for the sake of the emperor's face, he said that he was willing to adopt a Xu family child under his name, so the emperor didn't say anything!"

"When he went to court for the third time, Mr. Xu, the father-in-law of Prime Minister Cen, also felt that what they said was reasonable. He told Prime Minister Cen in tears that he was worthy of the education and education given to him by the Xu family over the years. The kindness of nurturing, let him take a concubine, saying that Mrs. Cen Xiang will understand him."

"At that time, Prime Minister Cen didn't say anything. He neither agreed nor refused. He just patted Mr. Xu on the shoulder and went back home."

Speaking of this, Cheng Wanyi said to Luo Siyun with a mysterious face, "Do you know what Cen Xiang did when he went to court for the fourth time?"

Luo Siyun shook his head.

Gao Tingyu said excitedly, "After the fourth court retreat, before all the officials left, he asked someone to bring a bowl of Juezi soup!"

Luo Siyun widened his eyes.

Jelly soup?
so cruel?
"He said in front of everyone, 'Cen only wants to win the hearts of one person in his life, and he will never leave. Since my son has annoyed you, then let it go, and no one needs to worry about it!' After finishing speaking, he said on the spot. After drinking the bowl of potion, no one reacted."

"After drinking the medicine, he threw the bowl down, flicked his sleeves and left. The rest of the people were stunned. Even the emperor was shocked. No one thought that he would do this without saying a word."

Luo Siyun also nodded. She also thought that Prime Minister Cen would just refuse at most, but she didn't expect it to be such a once-and-for-all method.

Cheng Wanyi snorted, "But even if Prime Minister Cen has achieved this, there are still people who don't believe it, and took the bowl left by Prime Minister Cen with some liquid medicine on it to go to the Imperial Hospital for examination?"

"The imperial doctor said that the medicine was real, and they prepared it. The people in the imperial hospital and the emperor reported it, but neither they nor the emperor thought that he wanted to use the medicine himself."

"It was originally a drug that was specially used for men, and Prime Minister Cen seemed to be afraid that it would not be effective, so he deliberately used twice as much medicine. With this amount of medicine, even if it is a little bit, it will make the heirs suffer for several years. If he drinks this A big bowl, don’t think too much, it will definitely kill your offspring!”

"Just like that, everyone gave up on letting Prime Minister Cen take concubines and have children. Prime Minister Cen can finally live together lovingly with Mrs. Cen... Who wouldn't envy Mrs. Cen to have such a husband?"

Luo Siyun nodded, with an envious look on his face, "Prime Minister Cen is really affectionate and loyal. It is indeed enviable that Mrs. Cen can think of her husband like this, but..."

"If that's all, then Prime Minister Cen isn't so popular that he needs to be loved by many people!"

Would Li Xingyi follow a man like this just because he has a deep love for his wife?

Impossible, so there must be other reasons.

Cheng Wanyi and Gao Tingyu nodded, "You are right. If it is just this point, Prime Minister Cen is not worthy of our following. His achievements in promotion are the most surprising!"

"At the age of 16, Prime Minister Cen won three prizes in a row. He was personally sent by the emperor to Feng County, which was also Prime Minister Cen's hometown, and became a small county magistrate!"

"When he arrived in Fengxian County, he inspected for more than a month. According to the situation in Fengxian County, he asked people to plant tea and fruit trees in the mountains, and also asked people to open dyeing workshops for cotton spinning, and hired weavers to weave cloth... In just three years, under his management. A small town with a population of more than 1000 households has become a large county with a population of more than 2 households. The emperor was overjoyed and personally changed the name of Fengxian County to Fengcheng, mentioned the name, and built a city!"

"At the age of 22, he was dispatched by the emperor to Longyuan, a wild place in the west, as a magistrate..."

"Longyuan was drought-stricken. He asked people to dig ditches and wells to store water. Longyuan had a lot of sandy land and the soil was not fertile. So he sowed grass seeds and asked people to raise cattle and sheep. He also found cloth blankets made of wool. Found a way to make delicious beef and mutton jerky... It took another three years to turn the impoverished Longyuan in the west into the Jiangnan outside the Great Wall..."

"At the age of 27, he was appointed by the emperor to be in charge of the literature and history of the palace. An Academy, both men and women can enroll in the academy, and there is no need to pay tuition fees...It specializes in teaching agriculture, forestry, animal husbandry, arithmetic and drawing, water wheel spinning, paper dyeing...things that have nothing to do with the imperial examination, making everyone laugh at him at the time..."

"Prime Minister Cen single-handedly blocked all strange eyes and stuck to this move until he was 31 years old, when there was a flood in the south of the Yangtze River and the dam in Dongqu Town collapsed. Thirteen students from the academy who had studied post-flood disaster management, Seven men and six women rushed to the south of the Yangtze River and used what everyone considered useless knowledge to manage the town of Dongqu in just half a year. When they returned to Beijing to resume their duties, the town of Dongqu had recovered to the level before the flood, and was even more prosperous than before. …”

"Prime Minister Cen's resume can fill a thick volume. He also proposed to the emperor to improve the status of merchants, encourage trade, improve the status of women, increase women's income, and those who only have girls in the family are not allowed to live in poverty...etc. There are countless initiatives.”

Speaking of this, Gao Tingyu sighed and said to Luo Siyun, "You know, I didn't feel all this deeply until three years ago, when I went to Yuzhou with my family and passed by When I was in Fengcheng, compared with other places and Fengcheng, there was a world of difference, and I was deeply impressed."

"You can understand that when you first arrived in Fengcheng, there were big smiles on the faces of the people there, and there were great expectations for the future in their eyes and actions. There were many cars and horses in Fengcheng, and there were many businessmen. Is it a main road or a small road? The road is flat and open, and there are small vendors everywhere..."

"Going south after leaving Fengcheng, the people around you are getting poorer and poorer. Even in some seemingly large towns, there are many beggars and homeless people wearing no clothes..."

"... He is using his own efforts to improve our status, and also gives the poor children a way out. We no longer have to live a miserable year relying on the little food at home. They can go to recruit workers during the slack time. Men dig ditches, open up wasteland, and build houses for people... while women plant trees, water trees, and weave cloth..."
