[Red House + Comprehensive] Respect to the water

The emperor retreated steadily in private affairs, but once he thought clearly about state affairs, he acted extremely vigorously and resolutely.

It is said that it was discussed at the Great Court Meeting, but after getting through with the elders, with the five elders agreeing and one opposing three or two, they directly drafted the decree. The decree was directly announced at the beginning of the Great Court Meeting. Most of them were caught off guard, but the emperor's decree was almost comprehensive. Although he didn't mention the prince's joke that "there is a ministry of industry, why is there no independent department for agriculture?" That level of detail is enough for everyone to understand the emperor's determination.

Besides, Daqing has continued the ancient agricultural-based infrastructure. This department came out to coordinate the world's agricultural affairs. If it can persist for a long time, it will be beneficial to the country and the people. Although the emperor is a bit arbitrary on this matter, the officials Both the Ministry and the Ministry of Finance said that the personnel and finances were all supported, and no one would fight the emperor to the death for things that would not shake the foundation of Daqing.

Moreover, the position of the chief officer is only the fourth rank, and the first chief officer is still the fourth son of the emperor. Although the biological mother has not been revealed and the adoptive mother has stepped down early, it is His Royal Highness who raised the child in the East Palace; while the three adjutants are only from the fourth rank. They were transferred from the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites. Not to mention their backgrounds, they are all good people who have been working hard in their posts for decades. In my life, I have only mixed up from the fifth rank to the fifth rank. Now I have jumped from the fourth rank. Although the level has risen quickly, I have arrived at a Yamen with no power and no power in the future. Everyone has no jealousy. Not to mention the intention of hindering them to retire in a good way; and there is no need to mention the heads of the sixth and seventh ranks under the adjutants, but the emperor designated two, one of which was the old head of the household department who sorted out the field files of various places, and was promoted by half a level , and the other is the grandson of Mr. Yu Ge - the one who doesn't like scientific research and martial arts, but only likes to play with some craftsman stuff. He and his father, who is already a third-rank official, can't laugh in front of his face, but he often shakes his head behind his back, but he doesn't want to, this fiddling with gadgets, can also get a seventh-rank official title when he is not crowned...

In this way, the only old Yu Ge who was thinking of fighting with the emperor also turned off his fire, facing his colleagues and subordinates who came to congratulate him one by one, and when facing the emperor that day, the only one who had fought with him blushed and had a thick neck. Mr. Liu Ge, who supported Sinong Temple, had a half-smile expression on his face, and he really couldn't tell what it was like.

It's just that people are always soft-hearted when they are old, and seeing the emperor's determination, Mr. Yu Ge also went back to verify what the old cow (referring to Mr. Liu Ge) said in the past few days. It's much easier for farmer households without cattle to farm, and they are no longer so resistant to Sinong Temple. After seeing the emperor, he even gave the little second son a future for this. Even if you pass the test, you can only pass the seventh rank...

That's it!

Liu Ge looked at Yu Ge who didn't respond to his provocation, and muttered, "Why is this old mullet so wilted today?" But he didn't think much, just walked slowly.And the other ministers and workers also left in a hurry after congratulating Mr. Ge, firstly, the outside of Qianqing Palace is not a place to knock; Small officials of the eighth or ninth grade, or even officials with no grades, etc., are also a big deal for Daqing, who is full of talents and has dozens of Jinshi who make up officials every year!

Don't talk about taking advantage of the opportunity to sell an official or something, but arrange one or two young talents that you admire, or you don't avoid enemies when you raise them externally, or you don't avoid relatives when you raise them internally... Cough cough, you understand.

The emperor also knew about those little tricks, but he just turned his eyes and closed his eyes. As long as the people he got out were able to do things, he wouldn't mind who was his protégé or who was his relative.As for being unable to do anything?Just to see if the value of Shui Qi is worthy of the prince's recommendation, and also to see how far he can be used in the future.

The emperor has always been eccentric, except for the prince, he doesn't say he looks like a stepfather to the other sons, but he doesn't look like his own father.What's more, when he would temper his most spoiled prince with all his heart, he would throw his fourth son, who just went to court, out to let those big fish and small shrimps sharpen him, so there was no pressure at all.

Of course, compared to the third son who only has a name in the Ministry of Households but has no rank, although he is well-informed in all kinds of work, he can't surpass the third son who is a serious official such as the Minister of the Ministry of Households. A fourth-rank official title, but also a chief official of a temple...

The emperor rubbed his chin, and it was one thing for his subordinates to sharpen their skills. Now that the harem historians had dealt with it, Concubine Dong Shu looked honest, and both of them were raised by the prince, so it seems that they are both useful now... There is no need to let their brothers have a rift.

Therefore, with a big wave of his hand, he did not regard the East Palace as any other place at all. After Haosheng ordered the dinner dishes, he called the names one by one, even the eldest daughter of the emperor's third son's family who was less than two birthdays, and the three daughters of the emperor's eldest son's family. The eldest son, who had just turned his second birthday within two months, slipped over and held a small family banquet in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Duanzheng Hall of the Eastern Palace.

In the inner room, the Crown Princess sat with her family members, and politely gave way to her sister-in-law. However, the new Anjun Princess has always been modest, and only sat in the first place on the lower left, not to mention the third imperial concubine; Although she didn't talk much and her smile was weak, her demeanor was always gentle and courteous, and she was well informed. She gave her elder sister-in-law King An Jun the exact date of her return to Beijing, and rubbed the girls of the third family for a while. Compliments, but the love is obvious, especially when the gaze sweeps to the side room behind the third brother's house, and the special order "I know you are virtuous, the emperor and the crown prince have praised you, but the third brother is not greedy, This dynasty pays more attention to concubines, and you are still young, but you still have to work hard on your own, don't just think of passing on the responsibility of spreading the branches and leaves to others." This made the third concubine of the emperor very grateful Princess Anjun helped her persuade Concubine Liu Liang once because the Crown Princess never pointed out the concubine to her family. Now that she heard this, she caressed the eldest son next to her, and the smile on her face became more sincere a bit.

In this way, the three sisters-in-law can be considered happy.

On the outside, the third son of the emperor, Shui Che, looked at the eldest grandson, Xiao Lu'er, who was being embraced by his emperor's father, scooping up soup and picking fish bones, feeling a little complicated in his heart.But Xiao Lu'er raised her eyes and smiled sweetly, and added, "Third Uncle, why don't you eat it? This flavor of Eighteen Arhats Soup was ordered by Dafu knowing that you like it", and it broke up seven or eight points. , The look in the emperor's eyes was so pleasantly surprised that he knew that the emperor's father favored the prince, and he had heard more than once from the eunuchs that the emperor knew that the prince liked him, so he prepared it for him. What did Tete prepare, not to mention that he had never done it—his prince and concubine were also carefully selected by the emperor, and Tete asked his mother and concubine to allow him to quietly sit behind the screen and personally choose the best candidate from among the possible candidates. The one that fits the eye—but it seems to be the first time that it is so delicate that it even pays attention to the food and dishes?

But soon, the crown prince affectionately tapped him on the forehead: "What are you stupid? This Eighteen Arhat Soup is not at the family banquet, it must be there every time? Hurry up and eat it while it's hot!"

Shui Che's heart became hotter and hotter. Eighteen arhat soup is nothing in spring when there is no shortage of vegetarian dishes, but he also remembered it when the crown prince said this. Sure enough, since the small family banquet on the first day when he moved to the East Palace, there was no shortage of it. This dish is always placed in the place closest to me.When he lived in the East Palace in previous years, even in winter when there were not enough vegetables, for three to five days, he would always have such an exquisite vegetarian dish on his dinner table...

So the remaining two or three points in my heart were complicated, and they were all gone. Looking at Shui Qi who said to himself with a silly smile, "The third brother also wants to eat more meat, he has been busy and lost weight recently", Shui Che also smiled, It was rare to return him a chopstick of green leafy vegetables, and seeing him try hard to eat despite his grimace, and because of the phrase "Xiaosi wants to eat more vegetables" in return, he reluctantly picked up a few more chopsticks of mixed vegetables. The small appearance of swallowing it whole, his eyes became softer, watching him not move the eighteen arhat soup, and even holding another chopstick for him, Shui Qi ate the most hated spinach and barely the least hated vegetable among the vegetables with a bitter face Seeing that Shui Che still wanted to pick up the shiitake mushrooms, he quickly pointed to the one in front of him, and opened his big watery eyes: "I have this, third brother eats by himself."

Shui Qi's eyes paused for a moment on the one Shui Qi's favorite big meat dish, and the two dishes that were full of meat but not lacking in vegetables. He smiled slightly, and put the green vegetables on the chopsticks into his own bowl After eating, he scooped up a big spoon from the stewed meat soup in front of him, which was delicious, smooth and tender without any smell of meat, and ate it.

Because the emperor was too lazy to keep too many courtiers to wait on him, Liang Liang was not too young, and occasionally he was not thoughtful, and Xiao Luer was always considerate, but he didn't respond when the emperor ate a dry snack When he came over, he didn't ask him to do so, but he staggered himself onto the chair and wanted to serve the emperor with soup. Shui Che, who was sitting next to him, was so frightened that he even threw the chopsticks in his hand directly on him, and hurriedly supported him. Because Shui Qi was on the other side, she took a step too late, but happened to catch the small bowl thrown up by Little Lu'er, Liang Liang was also quite frightened, but the emperor just shook his head and smiled without blaming Liang Liang, and the crown prince even more so. Directly: "Third brother, leave him alone, it is a good thing that he will be filial to the emperor's father. As for whether you can do it well, you will only know when you fall down."

Shui Che had been married for more than three years and had only one young daughter. At the time when he was in need of a son, even though he didn't dare to stare at the prince when he heard the words, he didn't panic when he saw him falling into his arms, and just smiled at him with his fat face up. The little Luer, who is so kind and sweet and flatteringly said "Third Uncle is so powerful", became more and more distressed, and heard that even the emperor said, "It's nothing for a boy to be beaten, and Little Luer is the eldest grandson of the emperor, so he needs to sharpen even more." Get up." Looking at the eldest nephew, his eyes became more gentle.

But Shui Qi took it for granted, isn't Xiao Lu'er the next prince?He always felt that the prince brother was able to be so powerful because the emperor's father doted on him but was strict. ...

Shui Qi felt that her eye sockets were slightly hot, and she didn't dare to continue to think about it. When she collected herself, she realized that she had already filled the small bowl with half a bowl of soup in her hand and placed it in front of the emperor. Eyes, and heard Xiao Luer's soft voice "Fourth Uncle is also very powerful", somehow, the eyes became hot again, but this time, even the bottom of my heart became hot...

For a meal, the emperor settled the two sons, and by the way, brought the two uncles to Xiao Lu'er. He was in a good mood. What's more, because Xiao Lu'er was young, the emperor was afraid that he would be in the middle of the water. The face was exposed, and Jia Jing kicked away the shameless Jia Jing, and by the way, he gave Jia Daihua a task of "watching the brat and don't let him make trouble". The annoying old boy also kicked aside for the time being.

Although he has been wandering around with him lately, even at night he often finds various excuses to stay in the palace, and the previous son even relied on him until he went to bed, and he reluctantly went to the resting place of the guarding officials to sleep in Jia Dai. When Hua was not there, the emperor occasionally felt that his side was empty, but he just had enough time to carefully stabilize the psychological bottom line of his successive defeats, and the prince was also empty, so the emperor felt much more pleasing to the eye, and ate two more chopsticks dishes during the meal , a small bowl of soup, the prince was so happy that he laughed and said that it must be the third younger brother’s dish, and the fourth younger brother’s soup was good, and he blinked his eyes to provoke the two little ones. Hearing the emperor laughing straight away, Shui Che couldn't help laughing at Shui Qi's shy little face, and there was the little Lu'er who didn't know what everyone was laughing about, but was always following silly and happy, The atmosphere is getting better and better.

After eating happily for a while, although it is not easy for a father-in-law to talk to his daughter-in-law, the emperor is old and he is a family. Except for the eldest, there are all men and women, so it is not very taboo.Because there are not many people serving in the inner room, except for a big court lady next to the princess, there are only side rooms brought by her two sister-in-laws. Those who went forward saw the Crown Princess generously helping to lead the two young daughters of the Wang family of Anjun, and the Princess Anjun and the third concubine also came out generously.

The emperor treated the three daughters-in-law fairly well, but he treated his grandsons and granddaughters even better. Even the little Luer retreated temporarily, and only kept the old family's son-in-law, Shui Mo, and the only daughter of the old family, An An, by his side to talk. , Shui Mo is okay, although he is only half a year older than An An, but for a child who is about two years old, half a year old is a big deal, and he always has a tiger head, and he looks like he is half a head taller than An An, and he is teased by his sisters on weekdays Now, Anjun Princess gave birth to three babies by herself, and she raised him very carefully, so he spoke neatly and drool in a timely manner; but the little girl An'an was a little embarrassing, and she spoke only a few words. Leaving aside his slurred speech and Martian language, the saliva dripped so much that the Emperor Minghuang's uniform was soaked to a large extent, and Shui Che and his wife saw that their vests were wet with sweat, but they dared not go up. Wipe, but the little girl loves cleanliness very much, and she knows the face, so she flapped her fat paws to wipe the emperor's clothes, but it only made it more messy, and her small mouth began to deflate, inheriting the apricot eyes of the third concubine of the emperor. There were also tears rolling. Fortunately, although the emperor personally brought up not many children, he had some experience, and he wanted to save face for the third son, so he personally picked her up and put her on his knees, and wiped her wet clothes with a hot towel. His fat paws were tossing like a fat face like a painted cat, and he coaxed her a few words in a gentle voice, and the tears in the little girl's eyes were withdrawn.

Looking down again, seeing Shui's envious round eyes, the emperor smiled and stretched out his other hand to hug him.But Shui Mo didn't wait for the emperor to hold her, she nimbly moved her chubby arms and fat legs, and climbed up to the emperor's knee. Ren'er looked like a big brother, and he became more and more happy: "Brother and friend, it's very good."

He laughed and praised Princess Anjun again: "Boss has been busy for the past two years, thanks to you taking care of the child well." As he spoke, he squeezed Shuimo's arm, "Looks chubby, strong and strong, very good."

Princess Anjun was flattered and blessed, and only said that a daughter-in-law should do it. The emperor didn't pay much attention to her, and turned to look at the third son of the emperor: "Your daughter-in-law raised An'an very well, and she is shy at such a young age." And courage is not bad." Shui Che looked at his daughter, who was on the verge of crying just now, and now she was flirting with Shui Mo, clapping her small hands at each other. The thought of training my daughter to behave well was dispelled by the emperor's sentence, "Our daughter doesn't need to be too coquettish and timid. The rules are good, and she should be healthy and lively." The daughter is too conniving, but she coincides with the emperor's father—it's better for girls to be healthy!

Shui Che happened to listen to it for a long time when the third concubine of the emperor was giving birth, and he was really worried about the test that girls must go through. This is why the imperial doctor clearly said that after the third concubine gave birth, she had to take care of her in the past two years. One of the reasons why Shui Che was not in a hurry to stop the concubine's soup medicine was that his body was not suitable for childbearing. He sincerely understood his wife's difficulty.Also, although An An was born weak, she was raised very well. She has not been sick for more than half a year.Although Shui Che himself respects the rules, he has never been ruthless enough to punish the young girl. Now that he heard the emperor's words, he became more determined.

The emperor turned his head and asked the daughters of the eldest son's family again. He obviously liked the eldest granddaughter Shui Lan, who was not concealing her heroism in her eyebrows and eyes, but was generous and decent in her actions, and the second granddaughter Shui Sa, who was charming and straightforward with pink faces. She also smiled, but frowned at the little granddaughter of Shui Che's family, An An, who was about the same age as Shui Che's family. Although this was actually the most delicate and lovely girl among the four girls, her expression was too timid and shy, and the emperor didn't like it. It looks good, but it was born by a concubine. Although the concubine is a fifth-rank pleasant with this daughter, it is obviously still not on the table...

Because of frowning, he knocked Princess Anjun and said: "I know you are virtuous, and you have always taken care of the family well, but it is also a major matter for the main family to spread branches and leaves. What is the birth of this low-status woman... "Because the tears in the little granddaughter's eyes burst up and rolled down, the emperor paused. Although he became more and more displeased, was it his own granddaughter, or the grandson who brought him to talk to his son seriously for the first time? Daughter, it’s not good to be too ruthless, so she ambiguously said, "The one who was born is still the daughter of the Shui family, with a noble status, and I don’t have to let those who can’t get on the table teach me a mess. I know that you have worked hard to raise your son, But the boss will come back soon, let the boy be raised by his father, and it is a big deal for the mother to raise the girl a lot!"

Concubine Anjun responded with trepidation and fear, but her heart became more and more determined. Even though the third concubine of the emperor lowered her head, the corners of her mouth could not hide her joy.Sure enough, from now on, whether it is Concubine Liu Liang or Concubine Dong Shu, there are only good-born children who seek imperial physicians and doctors to recuperate their daughter-in-laws. The matter of giving palace ladies and concubines will never be mentioned again. The cousins ​​of the Dong family in the mansion also went back to their respective homes.

In this way, under the guidance of the benign pillow wind, the princes became more dedicated to the prince and closer to the eldest grandson of the emperor, and even got closer to the aunt's family of the princess's natal family. At the birthday banquet of Princess Anjun, Zhong Jing Mrs. Hou sat at the table, but even the Chen family of Ningguo Mansion, who is said to be the wife of a first-class general, actually had a good seat. Seeing Mrs. Rong Guo Gong bowed her head and twitched the corners of her mouth for a long time before she came in. The seat on Mrs. Chen's right sat down.

These emperors generally understood that although Nahan was the one who blocked the rotten peach blossoms of his sons for his daughters-in-law, why did they all only give credit to the crown prince—especially the crown princess?

But he was also happy that his sons were brothers and sisters, and they worked together to help the prince, and he was also happy that the two daughters-in-laws outside the palace gave Xiao Lu'er a more thoughtful gift, even a bellyband made by himself, and tiger-toed shoes, and the bellyband was not too complicated Embroidery workers, the fabric is extremely soft and sweat-absorbent, and the thread ends are well hidden, not pricking at all; and the tiger-head shoes are not too big or small, just right, accompanied by the tiger-head hat made of tiger skin, lining Little Luer is so cute...

Not to mention that little Lu'er likes the clothes, even the emperor is also happy when he sees them. He especially feels sorry for this eldest grandson who, because of the special status of the princess, can't even get a small gadget made by his mother when he is a child—it is the prince, anyway. Three months ago, the queen was in good health, and he made a lot of small hats, shoes, bellybands, and swaddles. Although after the queen was ill, he was afraid that there was something wrong with it, and he didn't dare to let the children wear it. Anyway, keep it well, even now it is still a thought!

well!Blame that brat!

Thinking of this, the emperor cruelly kicked Jia Jing into the care of Jia Daihua for several days. He took his precious son and grandson to live in the Qianqing Palace, and it was only a father and son talking at night outside to discuss the admission of the emperor's eldest grandson. A family of three shared the joy of the dragon bed.Needless to say, how sad the father and son of the Jia family are, the hostesses of the two imperial sons’ families outside the palace became more and more understanding when they received the generous rewards from the emperor. He still couldn't finish wearing clothes, shoes and hats, which made his cousins ​​very jealous, especially Shui Qingshui and his son, who even found various excuses to single out him many times, but the emperor heard about these, and he just smiled stop.

In June, Xiao Luer officially entered the Haowenzhai. The old lady Chen was still in good spirits, but the emperor didn’t dare to busy him too much, so he asked his Prime Minister Haowenzhai to specifically point out six masters. What's more, the crown prince's establishment when he officially entered the school, and what's more, this one also has a peach blossom eye, but it's Jia Zhen who looks exactly like Jia Jing.

In this way, it is not good for Mrs. Rong Guogong to whisper to her natal sisters-in-law and sisters about things like Princess Anjun's table, how dare Chen do what she is the leader of, and Jia Min is getting older, and the fourth son of the emperor is also unmarried. , the niece of the village girl with big feet can be a princess, and her charming, dignified and virtuous daughter is naturally more...
