Lady's life after time travel

Chapter 118

The monk from Baoguo Temple came to read today's scriptures, and the puppet was also burned, and several talismans were hung in the room. Jing Shu felt speechless, but the people here believed this, and there was nothing they could do.Seeing that I have a belly of more than seven months, it is becoming more and more inconvenient to move.What made Jingshu feel particularly bad was that she always wanted to go to the bathroom. According to Jinxiu, she was also like this at this time, and it would be fine after giving birth.

There was also a big earthquake in the court. It turned out that the disaster in the suburbs of Beijing was more serious this time. The emperor ordered the Ministry of Households to allocate money to relieve the disaster, but at this time, the Ministry of Households could not come up with any money.The emperor was furious: one year's taxes, less than half a year, can't make ends meet, I really want to ask where the money has gone.

So Dali Temple was asked to conduct a thorough investigation, which involved many officials, in addition to those who borrowed money from the Ministry of Households, there were also those who used various methods of corruption.

Originally, the country has been peaceful and healthy for the past few years, and the money in the household department is not very useful. Anyway, there is tax every year, as long as it is enough for one year. As long as the top does not check, who will care whether the money is used or not?If you ask, I will say, stay in the treasury, anyway, you will not let me put so much silver in front of you all at once, will you?
So people with a heart came up with the idea of ​​these money, which is called "borrowing".

Borrowing for one year is a loan, and the next two years is a loan. As long as you don't check it, I will still use it, but it is true that there is no evil intention to repay it after receiving it. It is to take advantage of the country, but there must be a fluke mentality , I feel that the longer it drags on, the more confused it will be, and it will definitely be nothing in the end.
But who knew that the weather would suddenly be like this, causing disasters in the outskirts of the capital, and it was at the feet of the emperor. If it was a foreign place, it could be solved with the help of local taxation and a procrastination formula. , but why are you so unlucky now?

Once the emperor was furious, it was difficult for the officials of the household department to escape first. Those who checked the accounts, and those who cut the officials, bore the brunt.
Look at everyone is a fool.This is the same as any accident in modern times, and the boss is responsible.Then there are people who borrow money on the ledger, and repay the loan within a time limit. If they don't pay back, those who have a title will lose their title, and those who don't have a title will use their family property to pay back.For a while, many families in the capital were raising funds to pay back the money.In addition, the radish was pulled out to bring out the mud, and a few typical examples were caught for everyone to see what happened.Most officials of the household department were not spared.

Of course, there are also many people who took this opportunity to improve their reputation. Many merchants donated donations, and those who were not involved also followed suit. Instead, they raised a lot of money. The emperor is very pleased, there are still many people who understand the righteousness People, in comparison, some people are too stupid.

They sent people to the suburbs of Beijing to appease the people, and the officials of the Ministry of Industry became busy. Usually these people are fine, but once there is a flood, fire or something, the people of the Ministry of Industry will be very popular, but everyone definitely does not want them to often It's popular, otherwise it's over?

Prince Cheng's Mansion donated some money, not too much, not too conspicuous, and not shabby.Just do your part.

But Xiao Zhongqing secretly talked with his son-in-law Cheng Wang, "This time, something happened to the Minister of the Household Department, and the family of the King Rong suffered a lot of losses. The prince must not stand out now. The position of the Minister of the Household Department should not be contested."

King Rong is the title of the third prince, and the Minister of the Household Department happens to be a member of King Rong's lineage. To pull the Minister of the Household Department down this time is definitely a heavy loss. The Department of Household Affairs is a department that concerns money!
Cheng Wang said: "Thank you for your father-in-law's instruction, I have exactly this intention." Xiao Zhongqing continued: "The emperor is in his prime, and I have been an official secretary for so many years. Xiao Yan and Xiao Luo have military power in their hands. At this time , I am no longer suitable to stay in this position, and I am going to report to the Holy One, and the prince should make a plan early."

It should be low-key, but the contacts of my father-in-law for so many years are not wasted in vain. For so many years, there are so many officials who have come out of him.Now that the Ministry of Households has moved, the Ministry of Officials may also move.Cheng Wang said: "My son-in-law understands, and he will be careful in everything."

Humph, I'm doing all this just for my daughter!If I guessed correctly, this time I will only be promoted, but they are officials with no real power. It’s okay, my family, the power in their hands is so enviable now, and it’s best to avoid its light. I won't be unhappy on the cusp of this storm.

Since Cheng Wang understands better than himself, it would be much better, otherwise he would be a fool who would show his face when he heard that he was no longer in an important position. Such a person would not be successful!
Sure enough, within a few days, Xiao Zhongqing was promoted to be a junior teacher of the prince. From a first-rank official, he was higher than the official minister, but this was obviously a matter of Mingsheng's secret change. After all, where is there any prince now, this is just an idle job , that is to say, the name sounds good, and there is nothing wrong with it at ordinary times, but I have to continue to go to court, but after going to court, there is nothing to do.For a moment, I have everything I want.But Xiao Zhongqing was at ease, and said to Qin Shi: "I didn't have time before, and the children didn't teach well. Now that I have free time, I have time to teach Xiao Liu."

Qin said with a smile: "That's right, Brother Yu should be frowning now."

Xiao Yu is the youngest, and his older brothers and sisters have already married, so he is the most favored now, but this will be enough for him in the future.

"I even have a grandson, so what's the point of fighting? It's the best time to be free. The salary is higher than before. It's because the emperor is sympathetic to me as a subject. Moreover, your imperial order has also been promoted. Such a good thing, My pleasure!"

So in his spare time, Xiao Zhongqing taught Xiao Yu, and then Xiao Yan's son was also sent over, and the uncle and nephew became brothers and sisters.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was vacant, and many people rushed to get the position, but what was surprising was that the emperor did not accept the position, and only let the fifth prince Ping Wang, who had been working in the Ministry of Officials, take the position of the Ministry of Officials. Some people said that the emperor did not have a suitable person, so he let his son take care of it. After all, King Ping also did this in the official department, just because the prince could not hold such a position. , That's why, in fact, King Ping is the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

Some said that it was because Xiao Zhongqing, the former official minister, suggested it like the emperor. After all, Xiao Shangshu has done a good job in this position for so many years.The emperor can listen to many songs, which can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Xiao Zhongqing's secret demotion.

Others said that the emperor didn't trust anyone but only his own son. Of course, this kind of statement can only be said in the heart, otherwise troubles will come.

No matter what others say, King Ping is still the same, nothing has changed.The officials of the official department are also familiar to everyone, and this person is a prince, even if he becomes the head of everyone, he should be.

And the other people are Ping Wang's brothers, seeing Ping Wang being taken seriously all of a sudden, they looked at him differently.Could it be the father?Then you have to plan ahead!

As for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Household, when the disaster relief is over, he directly transferred the Minister of the Ministry of Industry to the Minister of the Ministry of Accounting, saying: "Since the Minister of the Ministry of Industry participated in the disaster relief, he knows the importance of this money, and he can just let him take care of it!"

As for the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, one of the former ministers of the Ministry of Industry was promoted, and now the six departments are considered to have ceased.

The large-scale transfer of officials triggered by the Ministry of Household Affairs is the end.Time has entered August, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is the highlight, but now Jingshu is about to give birth, so this time the palace banquet did not take place, and Wen Po came into the mansion a few months ago, and has been waiting for Jingshu to have a baby It's quiet.

The concubine De in the palace has also stopped a lot during this time. It is estimated that Jingshu did not enter the palace. Crying about the good opportunity in front of her, it was only because of what King Cheng said to Concubine De that she didn't continue to trouble Jingshu.August [-]th is Xiao Yu's birthday. Think about it, the little guy is already four years old. Hearing that being confined by his father to study every day is really painful, so he also asked someone to bring a letter to Jingshu, asking her to take him over. But now Jingshu is powerless, so she had to talk nicely to him, and she will definitely pick him up after giving birth to the baby.

So on his birthday, he specially prepared Xiao Yu's favorite things in advance and sent them over. Xiao Yu couldn't bear to let it go when he saw it.

The mother-in-law of the palace who came: "How is your princess's current situation, is the food good, who is not enough?"

The old woman is also very handsome, she said with a smile: "My wife, our princess is in good spirits now, and the two nuns also said that there is no problem, and they all said that the princess has a little prince in her stomach."

"That's good!" Qin also said with a smile: "Give this mother a first-class reward."

The old lady was very happy. The princess's natal family is really generous, and she can get good things every time she comes here. Although she is not too rare, she is also happy to see it. This job was won by several people, and even won by herself. Yes, this feels really good.

Think about those people who delivered things to Concubine Feng's natal family, they all came back with a dark face, so that no one wanted to go, who told Pinglehou's mansion to be stingy and not treat them as human beings?So, the difference is very obvious. If it wasn't for Defei's natal home, it must be for him.
They are ashamed, anyway, I am also a member of the palace, why should I be buried by them.

"Mother, sister is going to give birth to a little nephew, isn't she?" Xiao Yu asked from the side.

Qin said with a smile: "You little kid, what do you know, just go!"

Xiao Yu said seriously: "What I said is true, my sister is really going to have a little nephew!"

"Hehe, what uncle said is that our princess is going to give birth to a little prince!" A child's words are the best way to win the prize.

"You child, how can you conclude that your sister gave birth to a nephew?"

"I dreamed about it, and I was riding a horse with my little nephew." Xiao Yu plausibly said, "Brother Yun is still behind and can't catch up."

"Okay, okay, what you said is right, don't go in yet, be careful when your father comes to check your schoolwork."

Xiao Yu's face collapsed when he said this, his father felt that the two sons in front of him were all worshiping martial arts, and the youngest son had to be related to Wen no matter what, so he desperately let him read those books, even on birthdays.Life is hard.

"Father is putting me on fire." King Ping sighed.

Cheng Wang on the opposite side said: "Really?"

"Isn't it? Didn't you see that the eyes of the second brother, third brother, and sixth brother have changed when they look at me? They also think highly of me." King Ping drank a cup of tea. This place is secret, and the two met secretly. The place.

"Your temperament is peaceful, so it's good if you're in the Ministry of Officials. The emperor naturally has his consideration, and we as the courtiers will follow suit. Speaking of which, Fifth Brother, you should also have a child."

"Fourth brother is happy in his own heart, do you plan to make others happy like you?" Ping Wang asked with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you think so." The corners of his mouth almost curled up.

"Speaking of which, these days go by so fast. I still remember the first time I saw my fourth sister-in-law. She was still a child and was sneaking out with Xiao Luo. Xiao Yan and I just happened to find out. I didn't expect We are going to be mothers in a blink of an eye, it seems that we are all old."

At that time, he was so carefree, but now he has a lot of troubles, and the princess he married is also very boring, usually he can't say a word or two, and he doesn't want to go back to the house.

There was a knock on the door outside, and King Ping asked, "What's the matter?"

"My lord, the concubine sent someone to the official department to look for you. Our people found out, do you think you will go back?"

Find someone?Is this a miracle?My princess never bothered me, why did she do it today?King Ping hurriedly said: "Fourth Brother, I'm going ahead."

King Cheng nodded, of course he would not go with King Ping, and there was another channel, otherwise it would be troublesome to let others know that the two of them were together secretly.

King Ping got into the carriage and said, "Are the people who went to the Ministry of Officials still there?"

"It has been sent back."

King Ping nodded, and the carriage drove to Prince Ping's mansion.As soon as he entered the door, someone congratulated him. When he arrived in the inner room, he saw the princess Wang Shi looking at King Ping shyly. King Ping asked, "What's the matter?"

The people below went down automatically, and Wang said with a smile: "I am pregnant." After speaking, her face turned red.

King Ping said: "I'll talk about this kind of thing when I come back. Why did you send someone to the official department?" Wang didn't wait for the excited and happy expression that King Ping had imagined, so she couldn't help but darken her eyes, "I want to hurry up with this news. Tell the prince, so I didn’t expect it, it’s my concubine’s negligence.” Low eyebrows are pleasing to the eye, this is Ping Wang’s impression of his wife, Ping Wang would rather her be tougher, but the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change, Ping Wang said: “Please don’t ask the doctor , what's wrong?"

Seeing that her husband cared about her, Princess Ping was happy, and said: "The doctor said, everything is fine." In fact, the doctor said that her body is weak and not suitable for pregnancy, but she is not willing to listen. After so many years of marriage, it is not easy to get news. Desperate to give birth to the child.

"Have you prescribed any medicine? Do you need anyone else?"

Concubine Ping was even happier, she quickly shook her head and said: "I don't need it, I have enough people around me."

"That's good. I still have something to do. Let's go to the study."

This is gone?Concubine Ping was disappointed for a while, but said respectfully: "Yes."

This is the way the two couples get along. Princess Ping's nanny, Nanny Wang, said: "Princess, why don't you tell the truth?"

"Nurse, it's my responsibility to bear a child for the prince. Moreover, this is my child. I must let him see the world. If you say anything else, you can mess with it. Don't say anything!"

Nanny Wang had no choice but to keep her mouth shut. Her daughter seemed cowardly, but in fact, once she got stubborn, no one could stop her.The girl belongs to Prince Xihuang, but it is a pity that the prince only respects the girl as a regular wife, so that's all right, the prince is not an ordinary person, it is good if the girl can marry in, how can a couple in this world like each other? Are they all three wives and four concubines?Some even ruined the main wife to the point of spoiling the concubine.

"Girl, this is a happy event. I want to report a letter to the master and let the madam come to see you!" Nanny Wang said.

"That's fine, but if Dad doesn't let you come, you don't have to force it."

My father is a censor, and sometimes he avoids even visiting the palace, for fear that others will say that he is unfair, if it is not for the prince's work, he probably will join his son-in-law.

My elder brother is a small county magistrate in another place, leaving my sister-in-law to take care of my parents. Princess Ping said: "If sister-in-law is free, let sister-in-law come over."

"But, the young mistress came over last time, so the princess is not afraid of the prince's blame?"

The last time Princess Ping's sister-in-law came, she wanted her sister-in-law to open the back door and let her husband be transferred back to Beijing. She and her husband lived separately. It also needs someone to take care of it. In this way, it will be cheaper for other women, so she thinks this way. It just so happens that King Ping is in charge of the official department.

"Sister-in-law can't do anything about it, so I'll try. I hope the prince can take my brother back for the sake of the child in my stomach. My parents only have my brother and one son. It's hard not to be around."

"Girl, I don't want it anymore, just in case the prince gets angry!"

Concubine Ping said: "Nurse, let me try, I can't leave my brother and sister-in-law alone." Moreover, she also wanted to try whether the prince has a place for her in his heart. I no longer have delusional thoughts, and give birth to the child properly, and I will never think about it anymore.Just give yourself a chance.

Nanny Wang wanted to persuade her, but Princess Ping said she was tired, so Nanny Wang didn't dare to say anything, so she couldn't help worrying.

In fact, it is not difficult to transfer people from other places to Beijing, if it is a transfer between peers, not to mention that King Ping is still in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and others can't say anything. about things.

After Princess Ping met her sister-in-law, King Heping said it politely, and King Ping interrupted her unceremoniously: "Women should take care of outside affairs, you can take care of your baby at ease, I won't be back for a while!"

Princess Ping's heart was completely chilled, Nanny Wang didn't know what to say when she saw it, she had already said that this matter could not be done, and the princess didn't listen, how about Xianza?
But she can't say this, otherwise the princess will be even more distressed.

"Nurse, he didn't even let me finish." Princess Ping smiled wryly, she really had no position at all, to him, she was just a married woman, a woman who had to marry, that's all. up.Isn't the indifference of these years not enough to wake him up?It's a pity that I still want to try it out, and I am really overwhelmed.

"Princess, the prince has his own reasons. We must not let others take advantage of him." Nanny Wang persuaded.

Yeah?It's really ridiculous, what kind of excuse is this?It was obviously an easy task, but because he didn't have himself in his heart, he couldn't bear to listen to himself.Well, give up, don't think about things that don't belong to you.Children, from now on we will depend on each other for life.
