Chapter 1042
The Three Sons-in-law
@@Autumn's Chang'an, the dead leaves are falling.
For meat eaters, this is the best season for pleasure.
Neither hot nor cold, cool in the morning and evening, sleeping late under the quilt, let alone the feeling.
In the pear garden, the emperor and the imperial concubine were watching singing and dancing.
"Sanlang." The imperial concubine raised her glass, smiling beautifully.
"These days my body feels pretty good, much lighter." The emperor raised his glass.
Han Shitou was very happy beside him, as if the emperor was happy.
The emperor drank the wine in the glass slowly, and said, "Liang Jing has been quiet recently."
Liang Jing is a fierce dog he raised, but now this fierce dog is a bit weak.
The imperial concubine sighed: "The head of the country has been quite friendly with His Majesty recently."
It was Yang Songcheng and the others that Liang Jing needed to bite, but now that the emperor and Yang Songcheng joined forces, Liang Jing was useless.If it wasn't for his sister to be in the palace, Liang Jing would have to worry that he would be spoiled by lackeys if he was still favored.
The emperor was silent for a moment, "Recently, Saburo has been a little too active."
This is to ask Liang Jing to turn his guns on the King of Yue.
But King Yue and Yang Songcheng are in the same group!
This is fighting cattle across mountains.
But this will destroy the hard-won good situation, what is the emperor thinking?
The noble concubine said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the king of Yue will be dissatisfied."
-
Let's stop playing hide and seek, give us a signal!
The imperial concubine straightened her chest, and the emperor's eyes moved slightly, "I heard someone say the day before yesterday that Saburo has the appearance of a wise king?" Isn't this an act of death?
The imperial concubine was stunned, and then said: "I will find my elder brother later."
The emperor coughed dryly, "He's been in the Ministry of War for a long time, I'll take a look and mention it anyway."
If you want the bulldog to be obedient, you must give enough meat.
This point, the emperor with rich experience in raising dogs will not ignore it.
Brother can be promoted?
The imperial concubine thinks about it carefully, there seems to be no vacancies for important positions in the imperial court!
After Hubu Luo Wen left, the emperor appointed his confidant to take over.
There are no vacancies in the six departments, and the same is true for the three provinces.
There seems to be a shortage of Honglu Temple... But going to those places is Zuoqian for Liang Jing.
She glanced at the emperor and knew that her temptations today were enough, and if she continued, it would cause suspicion.
A companion is like a tiger, the seemingly doting emperor will be as cold as ice the next moment.
"Thank you Jiro!"
The emperor raised his glass with a smile, and later called Han Shitou.
"Knock the third child!"
"There are countless slaves."
Han Shitou went out of the palace and went to Yue Wangfu.
"Second brother actually came."
King Yue greeted him with an overjoyed face.Han Shitou avoided his courtesy and said, "Your Majesty ordered your slaves to come and have something to say."
King Yue straightened his body immediately.
Han Shitou had a cold face, "It's a good thing, and reading it makes people understand. The Tang Dynasty ruled the country with filial piety, but there is nothing in the king's recent articles. Farewell!"
"Second brother..."
The king of Yue was confused and chased him out, but he didn't dare to give any benefits. Han Shitou had a lot of money, and he never accepted gifts when he went out.
"Second brother, can you give me some advice? I am grateful." King Yue lowered his posture.
Han Shitou held the reins in his hand, turned around and said, "There are still matters in the palace waiting for the servants to deal with. There is a servant who, relying on the importance of his superiors, is so complacent and talks nonsense. Such people should be beaten!"
The King of Yue saluted, and said seriously: "Thank you, Second Brother, for your guidance."
Han Shitou left, King Yue turned around, his face livid, "Investigate! Whoever uttered nonsense recently, strictly investigate!"
He went to the room by himself, didn't read it, but practiced calligraphy.
"Your Majesty!"
Zhao Dongping came in.
King Yue was still writing, "Say!"
Zhao Dongping said: "The day before yesterday, one of our officials told people after drinking, Your Majesty..."
"Say!" King Yue raised his head, Zhao Dongping saw that his eyeballs were red, and he couldn't help trembling, "Say that the king has the appearance of a wise king!"
The King of Yue held the brush in his hand, "Let him stay at home, and then... drive him away."
"I'm afraid it's not enough." Zhao Dongping said
Said: "How about killing him?"
There are good hands in Yue Wang's mansion, it is not difficult to make that official look like he died of illness.The King of Yue shook his head, "Aye Shan is jealous, if he kills that person, in Aye's eyes, it will be a cover-up."
Zhao Dongping smiled wryly, "My lord, how difficult it is."
King Yue smiled, "As a son of man, you should be filial, as long as Aye is happy."
Zhao Dongping nodded, King Yue took a step back, "How about the word Benwang?"
Zhao Dongping stepped forward and glanced sideways.
The whole article is one word.
忍!
"Good word!"
King Yue put down his pen, "It's dealt with."
Zhao Dongping got a spittoon, filled it with water, and soaked the piece of paper full of Ninja characters in it.
After rubbing it a few times later, the words became blurred, but there was some muddy ink in the water. Looking at it, it was like the weather outside at this moment.
Cool, gloomy.
On the second day, the king of Yue went to court as usual.
"Second brother didn't come?"
Outside the palace gate, Yue Wang asked.
The guard said, "King Wei hasn't come yet."
The King of Yue looked back, "Perhaps something happened at home!"
"Your Majesty, someone came from the palace and said that you are invited to enter the palace to discuss something." "No time!"
King Wei, with a basket on his back and dressed in common clothes, shouted towards the backyard: "Sister, I'm going out."
Big Sister Huang's voice came from the backyard, "Remember to go to Luo's to buy his caramel."
"Got it!"
King Wei went out, ready to close the door.
Ding Chang had a bitter face, "Your Majesty hasn't been in the palace much recently."
"What are you worried about?" Wei Wang tilted the door panel into the slot, straightened it, and slowly slid towards the middle.
"It's been a long time, the king has been forgotten outside!"
"The power is in the hands of Aye, Yang Songcheng and others. Recently, the fight between them is fierce. What is the king doing in the palace? Seeing their flirtatious glances, sharing different dreams?"
Ding Chang praised: "Same bed, different dreams is a good use of the word!"
The cooperation between the emperor and Yang Songcheng and others is not just a dream in the same bed.
"What Yang Songcheng wants is the identity of the future emperor's grandfather. In the final analysis, what he wants is power. But what Aye also wants is power. They joined forces because of the northern border, but they have to plan for themselves in private. Er abuse I'm cheating, hypocritical, and disgusting to look at. Today, I won't go."
"Yes. By the way, where is Your Majesty going?" Ding Chang said: "Or, the old slave will follow."
"The king is going to buy vegetables, you want to go too?" King Wei closed the last door, locked it, turned around and clapped his hands.
"Old slave..."
Ding Chang was a little embarrassed.
Someone in the palace is in charge of purchasing, so he just supervises it.
Moreover, King Wei won 400 million yuan last time. He is a well-known rich man in Chang'an City. He is not short of money! How could Ding Chang care about the little money for buying vegetables?
He didn't even know where the vegetable market door opened.
"Go back!"
King Wei walked forward with a basket on his back.
In the alley, old people come out to bask in the sun, children come out to play, and women come out to gossip in twos and threes.
"What is Li Er doing here?" asked the old man with his back bent and holding his grandson.
"Buy vegetables!" King Wei nodded.
The two women diagonally opposite stopped gossiping, and a slightly fat woman looked at Wei Gan with gossip eyes, "Li Er, my guy doesn't want to go shopping, saying that men are ashamed to go to the vegetable market. Why are you willing to go?" ?”
King Wei said, "Isn't it shameful to lose your meal?"
The woman was taken aback, and muttered, "Little sister Huang is lucky!"
Another woman said with a smile: "Li Er is so rich, has he never thought about taking a concubine?"
It has always been persuading people to make peace but not to persuade them to leave. This kind of persuading a husband to take a concubine is no different from persuading people to make peace.
This woman is bitter and mean, and she is most jealous of Huang Damei's situation. She feels that such a country girl can find such a good man as Li Er and live such a good life. It is really heart-breaking torment!
King Wei glanced at her, then shook his head.
"I have a bad waist!"
The woman froze for a moment, until King Wei left, the woman beside her asked, "Why didn't you mock Li Er just now?"
The woman patted her chest and said tremblingly: "Just now Li Er took a look at me, as if he was going to kill someone."
"Li Er is such a dull person, what a fool!"
All the way to the vegetable market, King Wei went to buy meat first.
A few women surrounded a meat stall, King Wei leaned over and took a look, "Here's a leg of lamb."
The butcher raised his head, "Li Er! Where's your eldest sister?"
"At home!" Wei Wang pointed to a leg of lamb.
"Twelve coins."
"Increased?" King Wei wanted the front legs, but he didn't expect the price to increase.
The butcher complained, "The beginning of the year was fine, but in the summer, I don't know who is full enough to eat, saying that the beef and mutton in the northern Xinjiang are running rampant in Chang'an, and Yang Ni is the one who earns the money. Therefore, the court ordered to strictly investigate the north. Xinjiang traders are not allowed to sell beef and mutton."
King Wei's heart skipped a beat, "It's impossible to check it out, right?"
How could such a wide junction be prohibited?
"It can't be forbidden, but if you want to come in, you have to..." The butcher's face showed a look that you understand, "You have to give benefits, no, the price will rise.
"It's not that expensive, is it?" a woman grumbled.
The butcher smiled wryly, "Originally there were a lot of sheep in southern Xinjiang, but this year there are a lot of thieves in southern Xinjiang, and they want to recruit warriors. The warriors must eat meat! No, the cattle and sheep exported to Chang'an in southern Xinjiang More than half of it is missing. Hey! Besides...many things are expensive nowadays..."
Wei Qian remembered that a few days ago, the censor said that the price of goods in the market was soaring. After investigation, it was found that the checkpoints in various places were working hard to blackmail the merchants.
This incident triggered a discussion, and the court vowed to crack down on those officials and soldiers who were tantamount to bandits.
"Didn't the court say that the checkpoints would be cleared?" King Wei asked.
"What are you cleaning up!" The butcher cut off a front leg and prepared to weigh it. "A while ago, it was said that some officials were arrested, but they were released after a few days."
"Why?" King Wei thought of the official administration, and also thought of Luo Cai.When Luo Cai was around, if he heard such things, he would be furious, and then relentlessly roared at the court until the court made a decision and stared at the implementation.
The butcher pointed to the scale, "Two catties and two. Although the front legs are not as meaty as the hind legs, they are more tender. You will buy them."
King Wei stretched out his hand, "There is no need to tie the grass rope."
He took the leg of lamb, threw it back over his shoulder into the basket, and then gave the money.
The butcher said: "Those officials all have backers. Otherwise, how dare they extort money at the checkpoints around Chang'an? If the backers don't protect them, what should they do if they give them away?"
"Officials all over the world are black-hearted!"
"That's right, your poor Majesty doesn't know."
"yes!"
Several women were full of complaints.
In their view, officials can be killed, but the emperor must be innocent.
This is the reverence for the emperor for thousands of years at work.
The butcher chopped the bone cutter into the chopping board, scaring the women to stare. He sneered, "It's warm in the pear orchard, and there's everything to eat."
Several women looked at him, bowed their heads and left.
The butcher regretted his words a little, and said to King Wei: "A few gossip women have long hair but little knowledge."
"No."
King Wei nodded, and immediately went to buy maltose.
Standing outside the market, he saw the servant.
"Your Majesty has summoned you!" "I have to send the food back first."
"Someone sent it." The waiter was an old acquaintance, beckoning, and a man who looked honest and honest came over.
"The villain will say that the king met some friends and was dragged to drink." The man said.
This is the third time he has helped King Wei deliver things, and he is familiar with the road.
Until entering the palace, King Wei was still thinking about the previous conversation.
North Korea and China are cracking down on smugglers from northern Xinjiang leading to Chang'an, but this is a bluff. The real situation is that checkpoints in various places use this opportunity to collect bribes from smugglers.
As soon as they enter and exit, the people suffer from rising prices.
On the southern side, it is not known whether Zhang Chumao or Shi Zhongtang is expanding the army.
The third question is that after Luo Cai left, the Ministry of Officials was obviously obsessed with doing things for the emperor, but neglected the management of officials.
Because people make things happen, things will not last long!
King Wei looked at the palace gate silently, feeling like a huge mouth, ferocious and greedy.
world!
Aye, did you see that?
The emperor obviously didn't see it. When King Wei entered the palace, he said in high spirits: "Shi Zhongtang in the southern border sent a raw rhinoceros, all covered in snow..."
Yang Songcheng smiled and said, "This is auspicious."
The emperor glanced at King Wei who came in, and suddenly lost his mind to show off.
"Aye!" King Wei saluted.
The emperor hummed, "Over the northern border, Yang Ni dispatched troops, but his whereabouts are unknown."
Yang Songcheng stroked his beard and said: "Northern Xinjiang is inherently difficult, but he is good at fighting every year. This is the way to his own destruction!" King Wei looked at King Yue silently, and found that the little brother looked a little dazed, as if he was frightened of.
"The people on the stage are desperately looking for news." The emperor rubbed his brows, "The generals said that Yang Ni is going to fight Lin Jun this time, so it's not a bad thing."
Yang Songcheng said with a smile: "Lin Jun took Taizhou privately, and he is also a traitor. It's very good that the two of them fought hard."
The emperor coughed dryly, "In the southern border, Shi Zhongtang said that there are still many thieves, and Zhang Chumao is a little slack."
Yang Songcheng was taken aback, and just about to speak for his son-in-law, the emperor said: "I heard that he is not in good health recently, the head of the state should show some compassion for his son-in-law, hahahaha!"
These words seem to be interesting, but there is a hint of coldness.
The emperor wanted to take down the southern border army, and he never concealed this idea, and even accepted a foreign general as his adopted son.
Zhang Chumao had no place to stand in southern Xinjiang because he was squeezed out by Shi Zhongtang, waiting for the emperor's final statement.
And today, obviously, is the emperor's ultimatum to Yang Songcheng.
Yang Songcheng smiled, "This matter depends on the overall situation!"
The great situation of our cooperation, will His Majesty destroy it?
"Next year will be a good year." The emperor said something nonsensical.
King Wei knows that this is the time limit—I will tolerate Zhang Chumao for another year at most, and it will take only one year. The father-in-law should quickly find a safe place for his son-in-law
This matter was not so urgent at first, but the governor of Hanhai, Zhao Song, the leader of Xijiang, came to Chang'an last time and voted for Yang Songcheng, which caused the emperor's backlash.
If you are weak, he will be strong. In political struggle, there is no room for soft-heartedness.
But it's funny... The emperor and Zhang Chumao are brothers-in-law.
The two's joint father-in-law, Yang Songcheng, died.
Yang Songcheng looked the same, but the atmosphere was a bit disturbing.
The emperor coughed dryly, "Zhu Qing." The Minister of Rites, Zhu Wei, saluted with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Fu recently sent a medical officer to diagnose his health, and said: Zhu Qing is the only one in the Ministry of Rites!
Such valuing and love, even if Zhu Wei is an old fritter, he is grateful for it.
Recently, Zhu Wei came early and returned late, and his loyalty has increased by [-]%.
The emperor glanced at Liang Jing first, and said to Zhu Wei: "The doctor said that Zhu Qing's health is not right. Although I don't want to give up, I can't bear to sit and watch Zhu Qing exhausted. Let's go home and rest first!"
what?
Zhu Wei lost his composure and said: "Minister..."
The emperor waved his hand violently, interrupted his words, and then smiled gently at Liang Jing, "Liang Qing is so good at watching the Ministry of Rites for me!"
For meat eaters, this is the best season for pleasure.
Neither hot nor cold, cool in the morning and evening, sleeping late under the quilt, let alone the feeling.
In the pear garden, the emperor and the imperial concubine were watching singing and dancing.
"Sanlang." The imperial concubine raised her glass, smiling beautifully.
"These days my body feels pretty good, much lighter." The emperor raised his glass.
Han Shitou was very happy beside him, as if the emperor was happy.
The emperor drank the wine in the glass slowly, and said, "Liang Jing has been quiet recently."
Liang Jing is a fierce dog he raised, but now this fierce dog is a bit weak.
The imperial concubine sighed: "The head of the country has been quite friendly with His Majesty recently."
It was Yang Songcheng and the others that Liang Jing needed to bite, but now that the emperor and Yang Songcheng joined forces, Liang Jing was useless.If it wasn't for his sister to be in the palace, Liang Jing would have to worry that he would be spoiled by lackeys if he was still favored.
The emperor was silent for a moment, "Recently, Saburo has been a little too active."
This is to ask Liang Jing to turn his guns on the King of Yue.
But King Yue and Yang Songcheng are in the same group!
This is fighting cattle across mountains.
But this will destroy the hard-won good situation, what is the emperor thinking?
The noble concubine said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the king of Yue will be dissatisfied."
-
Let's stop playing hide and seek, give us a signal!
The imperial concubine straightened her chest, and the emperor's eyes moved slightly, "I heard someone say the day before yesterday that Saburo has the appearance of a wise king?" Isn't this an act of death?
The imperial concubine was stunned, and then said: "I will find my elder brother later."
The emperor coughed dryly, "He's been in the Ministry of War for a long time, I'll take a look and mention it anyway."
If you want the bulldog to be obedient, you must give enough meat.
This point, the emperor with rich experience in raising dogs will not ignore it.
Brother can be promoted?
The imperial concubine thinks about it carefully, there seems to be no vacancies for important positions in the imperial court!
After Hubu Luo Wen left, the emperor appointed his confidant to take over.
There are no vacancies in the six departments, and the same is true for the three provinces.
There seems to be a shortage of Honglu Temple... But going to those places is Zuoqian for Liang Jing.
She glanced at the emperor and knew that her temptations today were enough, and if she continued, it would cause suspicion.
A companion is like a tiger, the seemingly doting emperor will be as cold as ice the next moment.
"Thank you Jiro!"
The emperor raised his glass with a smile, and later called Han Shitou.
"Knock the third child!"
"There are countless slaves."
Han Shitou went out of the palace and went to Yue Wangfu.
"Second brother actually came."
King Yue greeted him with an overjoyed face.Han Shitou avoided his courtesy and said, "Your Majesty ordered your slaves to come and have something to say."
King Yue straightened his body immediately.

Zhao Dongping came in.

Zhao Dongping nodded, King Yue took a step back, "How about the word Benwang?"
Zhao Dongping stepped forward and glanced sideways.
The whole article is one word.
忍!
"Good word!"
King Yue put down his pen, "It's dealt with."
Zhao Dongping got a spittoon, filled it with water, and soaked the piece of paper full of Ninja characters in it.
After rubbing it a few times later, the words became blurred, but there was some muddy ink in the water. Looking at it, it was like the weather outside at this moment.
Cool, gloomy.
On the second day, the king of Yue went to court as usual.

"Why?" King Wei thought of the official administration, and also thought of Luo Cai.When Luo Cai was around, if he heard such things, he would be furious, and then relentlessly roared at the court until the court made a decision and stared at the implementation.
The butcher pointed to the scale, "Two catties and two. Although the front legs are not as meaty as the hind legs, they are more tender. You will buy them."
King Wei stretched out his hand, "There is no need to tie the grass rope."
He took the leg of lamb, threw it back over his shoulder into the basket, and then gave the money.
The butcher said: "Those officials all have backers. Otherwise, how dare they extort money at the checkpoints around Chang'an? If the backers don't protect them, what should they do if they give them away?"

The butcher regretted his words a little, and said to King Wei: "A few gossip women have long hair but little knowledge."
"No."

Yang Songcheng stroked his beard and said: "Northern Xinjiang is inherently difficult, but he is good at fighting every year. This is the way to his own destruction!" King Wei looked at King Yue silently, and found that the little brother looked a little dazed, as if he was frightened of.
"The people on the stage are desperately looking for news." The emperor rubbed his brows, "The generals said that Yang Ni is going to fight Lin Jun this time, so it's not a bad thing."
Yang Songcheng said with a smile: "Lin Jun took Taizhou privately, and he is also a traitor. It's very good that the two of them fought hard."
The emperor coughed dryly, "In the southern border, Shi Zhongtang said that there are still many thieves, and Zhang Chumao is a little slack."
Yang Songcheng was taken aback, and just about to speak for his son-in-law, the emperor said: "I heard that he is not in good health recently, the head of the state should show some compassion for his son-in-law, hahahaha!"
These words seem to be interesting, but there is a hint of coldness.
The emperor wanted to take down the southern border army, and he never concealed this idea, and even accepted a foreign general as his adopted son.
Zhang Chumao had no place to stand in southern Xinjiang because he was squeezed out by Shi Zhongtang, waiting for the emperor's final statement.
And today, obviously, is the emperor's ultimatum to Yang Songcheng.
Yang Songcheng smiled, "This matter depends on the overall situation!"
The great situation of our cooperation, will His Majesty destroy it?
"Next year will be a good year." The emperor said something nonsensical.
King Wei knows that this is the time limit—I will tolerate Zhang Chumao for another year at most, and it will take only one year. The father-in-law should quickly find a safe place for his son-in-law
This matter was not so urgent at first, but the governor of Hanhai, Zhao Song, the leader of Xijiang, came to Chang'an last time and voted for Yang Songcheng, which caused the emperor's backlash.
If you are weak, he will be strong. In political struggle, there is no room for soft-heartedness.
But it's funny... The emperor and Zhang Chumao are brothers-in-law.
The two's joint father-in-law, Yang Songcheng, died.
Yang Songcheng looked the same, but the atmosphere was a bit disturbing.
The emperor coughed dryly, "Zhu Qing." The Minister of Rites, Zhu Wei, saluted with a respectful expression, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Fu recently sent a medical officer to diagnose his health, and said: Zhu Qing is the only one in the Ministry of Rites!
Such valuing and love, even if Zhu Wei is an old fritter, he is grateful for it.
Recently, Zhu Wei came early and returned late, and his loyalty has increased by [-]%.
The emperor glanced at Liang Jing first, and said to Zhu Wei: "The doctor said that Zhu Qing's health is not right. Although I don't want to give up, I can't bear to sit and watch Zhu Qing exhausted. Let's go home and rest first!"
what?
Zhu Wei lost his composure and said: "Minister..."
The emperor waved his hand violently, interrupted his words, and then smiled gently at Liang Jing, "Liang Qing is so good at watching the Ministry of Rites for me!"
