Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

Chapter 11 A Sudden Sense of Urgency

In the Great Wei Palace, on almost the fifth day of every month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will distribute salaries to the concubines, princes, and concubines living in the palace.

In principle, it is received once a month, and it is recorded in your own account book after receiving.

There are a lot of princes, concubines, and concubines in the palace. In order to avoid mistakes when receiving them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will send people to notify them in advance before distributing them, and determine the approximate time with everyone.

Zhao Hongming replied casually: "I will go to the palace before tomorrow."

"The servant girl will reply to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask them to prepare for His Highness."

Now Zhao Hongming doesn't have too many trustworthy people around him, and he always receives these salaries by himself.

Up to now, his monthly salary has been distributed according to the basic standard of the prince, and it has not changed for many years.

It's so pitiful.

It just so happens that I need to buy some medicines to replenish qi and blood. Although the overall salary is not much, it is better than nothing.

The next day, early in the morning.

Zhao Hongming went to the upper study room as usual, and listened to the saint's teachings with many princes and princesses.

Before the official start of the class, Zhao Hongming found that Princess Wuyin, who hadn't communicated much in the past, was sobbing deeply, and there were other concubines comforting softly beside her.

Zhao Hongming asked curiously, "What happened to Princess Wuyin?"

The eighth prince, Zhao Hongguang, said in a rather complicated mood: "I heard from my mother that Princess Wuyin was given a marriage to the son of an elder of the Zhengyi sect. She will get married soon and leave the palace."

Hearing this news, Zhao Hongming remained silent.

He remembered that Palace Master Wuyin was now 16 years old, just at the age of youth.

Perhaps among the people, many girls her age or even younger are married.

But among the nobles of the Wei Dynasty, the age of marriage is generally around the left and right.

The main reason for this situation is that the living conditions of the nobles of the Wei Dynasty were also better, and they generally practiced martial arts, so their life expectancy was longer than that of ordinary people.

They realized that there is a certain relationship between the dystocia rate and the time of marriage, so the age of women's marriage will be delayed by two or three years.

This made Zhao Hongming quite concerned.

Princess Wuyin is one of Emperor Jian'an's most beloved princesses, why is it so urgent to let her get married before?
He currently knew very little information, and could not find out what was in Emperor Jian'an's mind.

But in my heart, I felt faintly that something must have happened.

And there is a high probability that it is a bad thing, which will have a negative impact on Da Wei.

Emperor Jian'an was making the layout in advance.

Historically, Zhengyimen was inextricably linked with the royal Zhao family in Wei State.

But Zhengyimen is a martial arts force, which is very different from the secularized force of the Zhao family in Wei State.

Since Emperor Jian'an ascended the throne, communication has not been as frequent as before.

It seems that there are fewer and fewer disciples of the Zhengyi School who are officials in the court of Wei Guochao.

Now Emperor Jian'an desperately wants to have a political marriage with Zheng Yimen.

It is worth pondering here.

For some reason, Zhao Hongming suddenly felt a sense of urgency.

"Fifth brother, I asked my concubine for another one, and here it is for you." Zhao Hongguang who was on the side took out a white wishing stone and said with a smile.

"The fourth brother gave you the Marrow Washing Pill last time. Fifth brother, you said you want me to give it once, so I will write it down. Is it enough to show loyalty?"

Zhao Hongming said helplessly: "I thought I said it casually, but I didn't expect you to take it to heart."

"They are all brothers and sisters. It is right to care for each other." The Eighth Prince Zhao Hongguang moved closer to Zhao Hongming and expressed his thoughts.

"Actually, I think so. According to my performance, my father will definitely not pass on the throne to me, and there is a high probability that I will not stay in Daliang in the future."

"And Yongzhou, where my mother's concubine's natal family is located, is already the fief of King Yong, so when the fifth elder brother comes out of the pavilion to become the queen, I will ask my father to enclose me around your fief."

"In case something goes wrong with me, fifth brother, don't forget today's friendship, and support your eighth brother in time!"

Hearing this, Zhao Hongming couldn't help laughing.

He didn't expect that his eighth younger brother would actually have such an idea, and the plan was far-reaching.

"Don't laugh, I'm serious."

Zhao Hongming accepted the wishing stone from the Eighth Prince Zhao Hongguang, and nodded his request on the spot.

It's still too early for him to leave the pavilion to become the king, and we'll talk about the future.

Receive the benefits first.

After dealing with chores during the day, Zhao Hongming went straight to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive his salary for this month.

This feeling is similar to when I received my salary in my previous life.

However, Zhao Hongming did not have any expectations.

For several years in a row, the salary he received was fixed, and he could list the number of specific categories.

After arriving at the House of Internal Affairs, Zhao Hongming went directly to the Guangchu Department to explain his purpose.

The clerk of Guangchu Division had already made preparations, and presented the registered books to Zhao Hongming, asking him to verify the specific number.

If there is no problem, Zhao Hongming can sign directly, and someone will send him to his residence later.

Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for him to take away the silk and silk for tea and food.

While checking, Zhao Hongming accidentally discovered that there was an extra 50 taels of silver in his monthly salary.

He was puzzled and asked, "Why is there an extra 50 taels this month?"

"Return to Your Highness, this is what His Majesty added for His Highness a few days ago. The monthly salary will be like this in the future."

Hearing this, Zhao Hongming frowned slightly.

He didn't think that Emperor Jian'an had ignored him for so many years, and suddenly he changed his mind and cared about his son again.

Zhao Hongming looked down at the doctor in charge, squinted his eyes and asked, "Qin Langzhong, is there something hidden in this?"

The clerk in charge is full of righteousness, and his energy is surging like the sea. It can be seen that he is a powerful martial artist, at least in the state of perforation.

He was not afraid of the royal power, and seemed to have a deep meaning: "Your Highness, you might as well walk around with Eunuch Feng more in the future."

What the other party said was very cryptic.

But Zhao Hongming thought about it back and forth, and he got a general idea of ​​the actual situation.

It seems that I left a good impression on Feng Dabao before, and said a few words of kindness to Emperor Jian'an for him.

Emperor Jian'an'Longyan Dayue' increased his monthly salary.

As for walking around with Feng Dabao more, he thought it was a bit difficult.

As a palm seal eunuch, he sometimes has more power than these princes.

What's more, he is still a congenitally perfect martial artist who is practicing martial arts.

Even if he, a transparent prince, came to visit, it would probably be useless.

If you want others to value you, you must first accumulate enough capital, otherwise there is no value in mutual use.

Why do people support you for no reason?

Blacksmith need its own hardware.

Zhao Hongming, who has been a man for two lifetimes, knows this very well.

After the Ministry of Internal Affairs settled the salary matters, Zhao Hongming returned to his residence without stopping, and called for his personal guard, Chang Wubing.

Chang Wubing clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness."

Zhao Hongming said straight to the point: "There is something I need you to do for me."

"Please speak, Your Highness."

"You go out of the palace now and buy some supplements for me. It's best to supplement the energy of a martial artist. Remember, keep it secret, and don't let people know that I am buying it."

Chang Wubing did not ask any further questions, and agreed on the spot: "Yes."

Zhao Hongming threw a purse over and said, "There are a total of 300 taels of silver bills here, so I bought them all."

Chang Wubing was slightly surprised.

He knew that Zhao Hongming only had 20 taels of silver in his monthly salary.

This is the basic standard for all great Wei princes.

But the other princes have the support of their mother and concubine, even if they only have these, they will not worry about money and other extraneous things every month.

But the fifth prince, Zhao Hongming, was different.

He really only has these every month, so it is not easy to take them out at once.

Although there are not many places to spend money in the palace, but once you get out of the cabinet and become king, the money is not so important.

This money has to be used for teeth building, house repairs, food and drink, and popularity.

It is absolutely impossible without money.

However, I am always healthy and loyal to my duties, remembering the principles of Concubine Shu's confession to herself: listen more, watch more, do more and talk less.

Keep all your doubts in your stomach.

"Have you remembered everything I said?"

Chang Wubing took the money bag, cupped his fists and said, "This subordinate remembers it."

"Go back quickly."

Chang Wubing clasped his fists and retreated silently, turning into an afterimage and disappearing from Zhao Hongming's sight.

"Wang Bao, I need to prepare for cultivation. Apart from coming back without illness, don't bother me if there are no other important things."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Zhao Hongming returned to the bedroom and took out two wishing stones.

He sat cross-legged, looking at the two white pea-sized stones in his hand, they were crystal clear, and if you looked carefully, there was a hazy halo.

Regardless of the small size of the stone, it is said that it is the result of the belief of 1000 people for a month.

He closed his eyes and thought carefully about the refining method of the wish stone that he had collected in the past few days.

After confirming again and again that there was no problem, he swallowed the soybean-sized wishing stone into his stomach in one gulp.

Start refining.
