Twin Brocade

Chapter 172 Unfathomable
"For Aunt Santang, being a regular wife is a hundred times better than being a concubine." Fang Jinshu agreed with his point of view, which is really a pity.

"Although the Peng family is not a famous family, it can be regarded as a big family in Funing Township. Peng Ju can read, so he devoted all his family's efforts to cultivate him. He is not a rich man, but he has enough money on hand. Compared with Quan Moxian's family background It’s better, after all, I have the support of my clan.”

When Si Qiliang came to look for him, he explained the situation of the Peng family very clearly, which showed that the other party was full of sincerity.

Fang Ziquan shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that such a good marriage. If Aunt Santang really married, for the sake of grandfather, she will definitely not suffer."

Although the Peng family is not bad, how can they compete with the Guicheng Hou Mansion.Especially, the other party is still the well-known dumb king.His stupidity broke out, even the emperor couldn't help him, what is the Peng family?
"Brother, tomorrow you have to make it clear with Cousin Liang, and let him persuade Peng Juren to die as soon as possible." Fang Jinshu urged.

"Okay, I will. We must not harm Peng Juren. Since he is a close friend of Quan Juren who saved you, for Quan Juren's sake, we have to do our best."

Hearing what he said, Fang Jinshu remained silent.

Quan Moxian, a cunning fellow, seemed to ask for nothing, but made the Fang family think of their kindness for saving her.

"Big brother has to keep the matter of Peng Juren a secret, don't tell anyone."

"Naturally." Fang Ziquan nodded and said, "There is nothing left in the eight characters. If I say it, I'm afraid it will make enemies for Peng Juren for no reason."

As long as you are a man, you can't stand your own woman being watched by others.With the power of the Guichenghou Mansion, it wouldn't be too bad if the Dumb King became serious.

This is only one aspect, Fang Jinshu felt that if Fang Mudi found out about this, he would be very sad.

Peng Juren, with his family background and circumstances, can be regarded as a good match for Fang Mudi, which was originally the purpose of the trip last night.It would be great if Fang Mudi hadn't met Cui Sheng last night.

Thinking of this, Fang Jinshu couldn't help laughing at himself.Didn't I think clearly yesterday, with Fang Mudi's appearance, it is doomed that there will be no peace.

Although being a concubine is wronged, at least Cui Sheng has the ability to protect her.

The two brothers and sisters were relatively silent. After a long while, Fang Ziquan said in a deep voice: "Civilian officials have never had any contact with nobles. If this marriage is accepted, our Fang family's reputation may be stained."

The Fang family is a rookie in court, and their father has just been promoted to a higher level.Fang Ziquan vaguely knew that Emperor Qinglong's promotion of the Fang family might be due to the fact that the Fang family's foundation was weak and there was no influence behind it.

The Cui family of Guichenghou's Mansion is not only a descendant of the former dynasty, but also a branch of the aristocratic family. Both identities make the emperor fearful.If Fang Mudi really married Cui Sheng as a concubine, wouldn't the Fang family attract the attention of the emperor and at the same time be despised by Qingliu?

Although, with Fang Mudi's status as a mere concubine, Cui Sheng could fully afford to be a concubine.

Fang Jinshu nodded in agreement, and said, "This matter is not as simple as the marriage of Aunt Santang. You should discuss it with your father and ask him for an idea."

Cui Sheng's marriage proposal caused ripples in the Fang residence.

As the sky was getting late, Fang Shuyu, dressed in starlight, returned to the main room.Recently, I encountered some twists and turns in the Hanlin Academy, and when I got off the Yamen, I heard the news that Cui Sheng wanted to take Fang Mudi as his concubine, and it was quite a headache.

Seeing that he looked tired, Si Lansheng asked Hongxia to fetch a basin of hot water, helped him wipe his face, and brought him pajamas to change into.

"Master, what's bothering you?"

Fang Shuyu closed her eyes, and said slowly: "The emperor wants to change the rules of making edicts in front of the imperial court. Our eight attendants and lecturers will take turns to make imperial edicts in front of the imperial court as usual."

"But what the emperor wants right now is to ask the court envoy to fix this quota for two people to take turns."

"Two people?" Si Lansheng was taken aback, keenly aware of what kind of storm this order would cause in the Imperial Academy.

Attendant lectures are the sixth rank, and attendant lecturers are the fifth rank.The biggest difference between the two is not in rank, but after becoming a Bachelor of Attendant, he has the qualification to walk in front of the imperial court.

Those who can be kept in the Hanlin Academy are all well-educated people with outstanding talents.Either the champion of the new subject, or the outstanding student of the Imperial College.All of them are well-written articles with brilliant literary talents.

Therefore, since the previous dynasty, the emperor has selected people from the Imperial Academy to make imperial edicts.After the establishment of the country in Gaomang, it gradually formed the rule that the attendant lecturers in the Imperial Academy were on duty in front of the imperial court.

But now, there are actually two people on duty, so what kind of bachelor attendants are the other six people?People in the Hanlin Academy, who cares about the little salary, isn't the purpose of showing their face in front of the emperor?
Fang Shuyu rubbed her forehead with a headache, said: "So, these few days, the courtyard is not very peaceful."

Because of the quotas for these two imperial edicts, turmoil arose in the Hanlin Academy.Once the scholars who have read the books of sages become ruthless, they will use frequent means.If you step on me, I will expose your old background. All kinds of things made him tired of coping.

"What is your husband's plan?" Si Lansheng asked, "If there is a fight, I will go back to my mother's house tomorrow."

Fang Shuyu sat up straight, and said: "There are only two places in total, and one of them is firmly assigned to Wu Hanlin. He was the number one scholar in the late emperor's time, and he has been serving as a lecturer for ten years, so he is the most qualified and educated. He occupies a spot, and no one has a second opinion."

"Besides, I think the emperor intends to let him go further." Fang Shuyu lowered his voice, and said: "The emperor said, try two people to take turns first. But I see, there is a sense of forming a routine here."

"Perhaps, this event was specially designed for Wu Hanlin to pave the way for him to enter the Zhengshitang. In the future, making edicts will be the advancement of the bachelor's degree, and the next step will be the Zhengshitang and the Prime Minister."

His words were suspected of trying to figure out the Sacred Heart, so he only said a few words before accepting them.But he knew that Si Lansheng understood what he meant.

The Hanlin Academy has always been a place full of talents, gathering talents from all over the world, and it is the most noble.

Most of the senior officials and ministers in the court came from the Hanlin Academy.Emperor Qinglong worked hard to govern, and made a small change to the Imperial Academy, which shows his dissatisfaction with the original practice.

It is a good thing for officials to have eight attendants and bachelors on duty, but it is not easy for the emperor to check talents.If Emperor Qinglong preferred Wu Hanlin, it would be safest to let him make an edict in front of him, observe closely, and then make a final decision.

If he felt that it was not to his liking and he was not able to do things effectively, Emperor Qinglong could not let him enter the political affairs hall.After all, this is just a convention, not a broken promise.

This kills two birds with one stone, advances and retreats freely, and only slightly changes the rules of the Imperial Academy to achieve this goal.Si Lansheng took a deep breath in his heart. Today's emperor's skills are unfathomable!
