Chapter 227

Luo Baisu's closed-door order has not been withdrawn, and he still can only stay at home all day, teasing Luo Zijin when he has nothing to do, to relieve boredom.It's just that Luo Zijin is a child after all, and he spends a lot of time sleeping. When he falls asleep, Luo Baisu has nothing to do, so he just stays in the room and reads all day long.He already had a high level of comprehension, and he has been an official for the past few years and has accumulated some practical experience. Now that he reads the book, he has a different opinion, and his knowledge has improved a lot.

Fang was very worried.

When Luo Baisu was in the yamen, she was often away from home. She occasionally complained a little bit, and also had troubles in the officialdom.However, now that Luo Baisu is really ordered to do self-reflection at home, and when her future is unknown, she is also afraid that Luo Baisu will be deprived of fame and fame, and her lifelong ambitions will not be fulfilled.

Since she thought so, it was inevitable that she would impose her thoughts on Luo Baisu.The calmer Luo Baisu behaved, the more she thought that Luo Baisu was just like her, anxious in heart, trying to pretend to be calm just to keep his family from worrying.

Fang was worried, and it was inevitable that it would show on her face. At home, she really didn't like tea and food, and she was extremely sad.

Luo Baisu saw Fang's look of being out of his mind, and said, "You are so sad all the time, what are you worrying about?"

Fang Shi is actually quite tolerant, but she doesn't understand the matter in the court at all, so she takes it very seriously.She endured it for many days, and she couldn't bear it anymore, and said: "It's not your fault, it's been several months, no matter how big your mistake is, you should reflect enough, why the court still treats you like this Don’t pay attention? Sigh! If you really don’t plan to let you be an official, then you should make it clear so that we can pack our bags and go back to the countryside. I’m very flustered by catching you like this.”

Luo Baisu stared at Luo Zijin's sleeping red face without blinking. Hearing Fang's words, he finally turned his head and said with a smile, "Didn't you shut yourself up and reflect on it for half a year? It's only been two months. We have to wait four months."

Fang muttered: "In half a year, the day lily will be cold."

Luo Baisu was a little helpless, and explained to Fang: "This is an order personally issued by the Holy Majesty. Half a year is a day. When the ban is lifted, I have to go to the Yamen. I am an official appointed by the imperial court. Steal, don't steal, don't take money, don't break the law, don't commit treason, the imperial court won't take off the black veil from my head easily, just put your heart in your stomach."

Luo Tian felt that Fang's worries were not unreasonable, she felt that the affairs of the officialdom were not as clean as Luo Baisu thought.After listening to them talking for a long time, I couldn't help but said: "No one can tell what happened in the officialdom. Dad, it's not like you haven't been harmed before."

Luo Baisu has one good thing, that is, no matter what happens, he will try to explain clearly to his family, and he will not dismiss Fang and the others with the sentence "women are not allowed to interfere in politics" like others.

"Xiaodu, I know you are worried, so it's okay. Mr. Zuo also said that the Jiangnan granary case involves too much and the water is too deep. It's not a bad thing for me to be fined to reflect behind closed doors!"

Luo Tian frowned, remembering the long row of prison cars he saw on the street a few days ago, and remained silent.

"I'm afraid that more than half of the officials in the southern capital of Lixiang have a hand in the case of the Jiangnan granary. No one has a few bad relatives, even Mr. Zuo's family, and there is no way to completely clear it up. Mr. Zuo also said, he I can't wait to do something, let Imakami restrain his feet, and make him reflect behind closed doors!"

Fang was laughed at by him, and said angrily: "How big an official Zuo is, you are only an official. Even if someone asks for a relationship, they will not come to our door. You are beautiful!"

Luo Baisu laughed loudly: "In the eyes of outsiders, it is not misleading to say that I am just a villain who is used to flattering horses. I cuddled up to Mr. Zuo's thigh. A small writer, even in Shangjing, I am crazy. ?”

This is not true.

Since Luo Baisu first entered Beijing, he was labeled as a lackey of the Zuo Mansion.It's just that Zuo Qingzhi has always been upright, and he doesn't like to form cliques for selfish purposes, so his reputation is too good. It's not a bad reputation for Zuofu's lackeys to speak out.Luo Baisu was close to him, and most others were envious.

In Fang's eyes, Zuo Qingzhi is the most intelligent person in the world, since he said nothing happened, Fang felt a little relieved: "Anyway, I don't know about you scholars, you just say so. "

The Jiangnan granary case involved a lot, and almost half of the officials in Jiangnan were involved.Wei Que escorted more than 20 important officials involved in the case back to Beijing first, and handed them over to Dali Temple for review.Master Ming still stayed in Jiangnan to deal with follow-up matters.

After all, the reason why Jiangnan's incident happened was because the old accounts of the Ministry of Households were dug out.

The south of the Yangtze River was rich and prosperous, and more than [-]% of the income of the Daqing Dynasty came from the tax bank of the nineteen prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River.When Jinshang ascended the throne, it was only after a baptism of bloodshed and sacrifice that he sat on the throne. Part of the reason was that Jinshang had two brave and good-for-nothing troops in his hands, and the other half was because Jinshang married the daughter of Shanghang Xingshi. For the imperial concubine.

Fortunately, the noble concubine was born in a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River, and her wealth rivals that of any country.If it were not for the financial support of the Yuxing family during the Jinyuan Rebellion, that war would not have been so easily won today.Because Xing's support for today's success, Concubine Xing's status in the palace has also risen. She is also the first concubine to give birth to a prince besides the empress.

Since ancient times, there has been an extremely delicate relationship between descendants and imperial power.If the princes and grandchildren want to win the battle for succession, the biggest reliance is the support of the mother clan, and once the new emperor ascends the throne, the old mother clan who had worked hard to support the new emperor before will be promoted to a new identity... Relatives.

The feelings of all emperors towards their relatives are quite complicated, they love and hate, depend on and suspect.When he was a teenager, he was indispensable, and when he was full-fledged, he would often point fingers at himself, and the relatives who controlled the government seemed very odious.

Today is no exception.

Today, it has been more than twenty years since he ascended the throne, and he has already firmly grasped what should be controlled, such as military power, government officials, and finances.

If the Xing family had been low-key and introverted, and after assisting Jinshang to stabilize the government, he would retreat bravely. With Jinshang's temper, he would have been able to live in peace all the time. As a relative of the emperor, the Xing family would certainly have the honor to have.

The problem lies here.

Xing's family was not satisfied with having an emperor's son-in-law, and wanted to have an emperor's grandson.It's just that the second prince born to Concubine Xing was not the elder, and there was an eldest prince in front of him, who was also born to the empress.

Even though he dotes on Concubine Xing, he also respects the Empress, and the Eldest Prince is also highly valued by him.According to the laws of the Daqing Dynasty, the descendants are the most respected.The eldest prince is both the eldest son and the eldest son, if there is any mishap in the future, the one who inherits the unification will be the eldest prince who is the eldest son.

Just like the drama of fighting for power and profit that has been staged in the harem for thousands of years, Concubine Xing, relying on her natal family's huge power and her contribution to supporting the present, inevitably has some disrespect for the queen, and even thinks that it is of little help to the present. The queen is not worthy of the status of the mother of the world.

Concubine Xing Guifei didn't like the queen, nor did she look down on the eldest prince raised by the queen.She believed that only the second prince born to her was qualified to inherit the throne.Therefore, since the second prince was born, Xing's family has done everything they can to support the future grandson of the emperor. They really wish they could pile up all the best things in the world under the feet of this grandson.

Today, I am frugal, and I always teach a few princes to be diligent and frugal, and never develop a temperament of extravagance.

The second prince has long been raised by his grandfather's family to be extravagant and extravagant. When he was in the palace, it was good for him to be under pressure. When he was an adult, he would go out of the palace and build a mansion. Compared with the ones in the palace today, they are even more extravagant.It is said that there are many decorations in the Second Prince's Mansion, not even the present Chaohua Palace.

Today, he is the most stingy, he refuses to spend more money when he is idle, the amount of money transferred out of the palace every year is countless, and the few princes who leave the palace are almost all supported by their wives.It wasn't long before the second prince left the palace to build the mansion, and he didn't receive any errands, and he didn't have much income. The extra money in the palace was not enough for him to spend for a month, and the rest was supported by the Xing family.

Although Xing's family is a century-old famous family, in order to help Jinshang get on the grand ceremony, the family's money has already been scattered, but it is just an empty shell.Although Jinshang was sympathetic and touched some money these years, it was just enough to maintain the expenses of Concubine Xing Gui and the Second Prince in the palace.

The Xing family is determined to have another emperor's grandson in the family, and naturally refuses to wrong the second prince, and keeps him tight in everything. As a result, the pressure on the Xing family's money suddenly increases a lot, day after day , Money was spent like running water.

The few vacancies in the south of the Yangtze River are mostly descendants of the Xing family. It is Jinshang who deliberately takes care of the Xing family. He can earn 5 to [-] taels a year.

If 5 taels of silver were placed in someone else's house, it would be a huge fortune, but it would not be enough for the second prince to spend for a year.The second prince needs to support his staff, win over courtiers, and act as a front outside.He even imitated what he did in the past, and raised an army in private. Although the number is not large, it is only about 3000 people, but 3000 people need to eat every day when they open their mouths, and sleep when they close their mouths. They are used for food and training. The weapons, counted, at least more than [-] flowers a year.

In the palace, the flower fee for each adult prince is 3000 taels, and the Xing family can only get 5 taels a year, that is, the Xing family does not keep a single penny, and sends it all to the second prince. There is still at least [-] taels a year. vacancy.

In order to support the prince's grandson, the Xing family went all out and tried their best to raise money.Since it is impossible to reduce expenditure, we can only find a way to open source.In the past, Xing's family could make some articles about job vacancies in the south of the Yangtze River. The counties in southern Lixiang were always the most prosperous places in the Daqing Dynasty. A lot of money was obtained through this method.

It's just that later on when the officials were rectified, most of the dignitaries and ministers who could talk in the court were his confidantes, and over the years, Jinshang had a faint intention of suppressing the aristocratic and famous families. Xingjia's most profitable business It's not so easy to do.
