The song of the new female concubine is full of peach blossoms

Young and full of energy, full of enthusiasm, he was able to forget about eating and sleeping and busy with official duties. The list that was originally thought to be sorted out in a month, was finally reported to the emperor in detail in only 20 days.

The emperor looked at the list corresponding to the detailed explanation in small print on one side, the more satisfied he was, the happier he was.According to this list to sell officials, don't say that 10 taels of gold will not worry about it, and if there is no accident, the common people will probably applaud it!But at the beginning, I'm afraid I still have to bear the abuse for a period of time. Selling an official position is never a good word.

After repeated discussions, the time for selling officials was set at the winter solstice, and the location was set at the south gate of the capital.Dongfang Sheng led the personal guards to maintain order downstairs, and Yue Xiu led the forbidden army to protect the safety of the officials who presided over the sale of officials upstairs.As for the matter of presiding over the sale of officials, after careful consideration by the emperor, he handed it over to Sun Qingle. No matter what, he didn't want Zhang Shaomin and Li Zhaoting to be stained in the slightest.

As soon as the imperial list came out, the whole country was in an uproar, and the voices of opposition from the court were endless, but the emperor turned a deaf ear to it. Who dared to stand up to oppose it, the punishment of whipping and cane was merciless, what's more, the official position was directly stripped and added to the planned Good list, when the time comes to sell together.

The national teacher didn't know what the emperor was going to do until the emperor's list was released. What shocked him even more was that among the positions that were sold, his own people accounted for half. Originally, he thought that the emperor was targeting him, but he kept demoting officials in the emperor's court When it comes to selling, I have some doubts.It seemed that it was just a coincidence that his own people appeared on the list of being sold, after all, few of those people had clean hands.

It's just that no matter whether it's a coincidence or not, the national teacher will not allow his own people to be replaced.He wrote to some aristocratic families overnight, asking them to unite with the prince to come forward to prevent the emperor from betraying his official position, and if necessary, force them to die.

The prince knew the importance of this matter, but when he found out that his allies Feng Shaomin and Zhang Shaomin had never expressed any attitude towards this matter from the beginning, and they had been watching the development of the matter silently, he felt that there was nothing inside about this matter.Before he was bewitched by the aristocratic family, he secretly approached Feng Suzhen and Zhang Shaomin, only asking them to give him a suggestion.

At the same time, the two asked the prince to "be clear, with a firm attitude; dark, not to say a word".

After this incident, the prince's prestige among the people has risen to a higher level.

On the day of the winter solstice, all kinds of people from all over the world gathered downstairs in the south of the city.Some bought an official job for themselves, for the next generation, for relatives and friends, with a lot of money, some came to watch the excitement and witness the history, and some even came along to do business.Humming and roaring, the city is full of empty alleys, and the outside of the city is bustling with people.

Sun Qingle swallowed nervously as he watched the crowded crowds below the tower, and only then did he understand why the emperor specially sent a general to protect him.

Someone at the bottom recognized Sun Qingle, and loudly silenced the enthusiastic people talking around, coupled with the soldiers shouting angrily, the noise in the crowd gradually subsided.

Sun Qingle had twenty or thirty official positions in his hands, and he really hoped that he could finish them in one day, so as not to be panicked the next day.After briefly introducing himself and the buyer's rules, he immediately sat down on a chair and announced the start of the auction.

"Official positions are auctioned from small to large, with three bells ringing as a decision, and the guards downstairs will lead them to pick up relevant documents. The first one to sell is Xingqing Lan County documents, and the auction starts at two taels."

As soon as the voice fell, the people below started chatting first.

"Xingqing is so far away? Or Lan County?"

"Who will do the paperwork?"

"Does the emperor really want to sell an official? Such a young man, isn't he considered an official?"

"Where is Lan County? Why haven't I heard of it?"

"Hey, here and there, two liang! I'll go out, I'll go out!"

Guan Xiao has no real power, and after selling five in a row, he only sold 30 taels.Gradually, more and more people questioned the real intention of the emperor's prostitution.

"Next is the county magistrate of Fangnan County in Yuzhang. The starting price is 50 taels."

"It's the county magistrate, Yuzhang is not too far from the capital."

"50 taels is a bit high."

"County magistrate! Compared with the previous clerks, he has some real power."

"I want!"

"I give 55 taels!"

"I'm 60 taels!"

……

When the cold winter wind was blown away by the weak sun at noon, Sun Qingle looked at the list in his hand, and was relieved to find that half of the list had been sold, but the remaining official positions were getting higher and higher. I am afraid that the competition would be fiercer than before. After a few calls, you can hammer it down with a hammer and set the tone.

"The magistrate of Yezhou, the starting price is 200 taels."

Sun Qingle looked at the word Yezhou in a daze.He also knows the history of Yezhou, and the legendary daughter of the Feng family in Miaozhou.When he was young, he thought he was a romantic, and in order to see that stunning beauty, he traveled to Miaozhou and waited for three months before he saw Miss Feng passing under the boat in a boat with her face covered on the stone bridge.

Because it was a chance encounter, he only had time to see those watery eyes cast on him unintentionally, cold and desolate, and then Miss Feng withdrew her eyes, leaving him with a proud and proud back, elegantly dressed in white, shining alone.

"Why does Ms. Feng look so familiar? Have I met her somewhere?" Sun Qingle didn't see Ms. Feng's face, but now thinking about it, she always felt that she had known her before.

"My lord, my lord?"

Sun Qingle was brought back to reality by the little official beside him, sat upright, and asked him: "What's the matter?"

"It's time for the next one."

Sun Qingle didn't care about how much money an official position could sell for, so he directly applied for the next official position, and then continued to think hard, why did Miss Feng, who had never met before, give himself a very familiar impression?

When the sun sets, the wind is cold and cold. In addition to wanting to buy a half-time official to stay downstairs, the crowd who watched the excitement all day dispersed.

"My lord, the remaining official positions are all Beijing officials, and the highest rank is from the third rank. Do you think you will come back tomorrow, or are they sold out today?"

At this time, Dongfang Sheng went up to the tower wearing armor and a sword, just in time to hear the little official asking Sun Qingle, and suddenly said unhappily: "The emperor didn't let today sell out, but you are sitting safely on the tower, and we will maintain order below." Hard work, have you seen it? Let my soldiers continue to stand guard, Sun Qingle, do you have a conscience?" If he didn't know that Sun Qingle and Feng Suzhen had a good relationship, Dongfang Sheng would have yelled at him by now, how could he have reprimanded him like this.

Sun Qingle was quite afraid of Dongfang Sheng, so he didn't dare to make a sound, but Yue Xiu, who stood upright beside him, said: "General Zhongyong, the emperor appointed Xueshi Sun as the person in charge this time, how to arrange it should be up to him."

Dongfang Sheng sneered: "You stand tall with your soldiers, so naturally you won't feel bad. Do the general's soldiers deserve to suffer and suffer down there?"

"If General Zhongyong feels that the emperor's arrangement is inappropriate, you can go with me to meet the emperor and change the positions of the two parties."

"Are you threatening the general?"

"Don't dare."

When Sun Qingle saw that these two generals who were not easy to mess with seemed to be fighting, he hurriedly said haha: "Two generals, two generals, please listen to me. We are all working for the emperor, and we are all ordered by the emperor." I hope that I can handle this matter well and live up to your entrustment. General Dongfang is right. It’s too late, and the weather is cold. It’s because I didn’t think carefully, and I’m a soldier on guard. I’m here today. Here we go, shall we come back tomorrow?"

Dongfang Sheng glanced at Yue Xiu viciously, and said to Sun Qingle: "Since you, the person in charge, said it, then the general will come back tomorrow." After finishing speaking, he walked down the tower with his sword in his hand.

"Xueshi Sun, you don't need to accommodate him, just do what you want." Yue Xiu couldn't understand Dongfang Sheng, and said happily to Sun Qing.

Sun Qingle said with a smile: "The rest of the official positions are more important, and we should spend more time on the trial tomorrow, so as not to replace the rich wolf with the tiger and leopard."

Yue Xiu didn't understand what Sun Qingle said, but he didn't like to ask too many questions, so he nodded and said to him, "I'll escort you back home."

"Then there is General Lao."

Seeing that there was no official position auction today, the people downstairs closed the city gate and rushed into the city, cursing in a low voice.

They don't know that tomorrow's competition will be the first time in history!Even Sun Qingle, who presided over the auction, found out on the spot, rolled his eyes in fright, and almost passed out.

Looking at the imperial pen personally delivered by Wang Gonggong in his hand, Sun Qingle shook his hands in disbelief, and asked Wang Gonggong who seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "This, is this the emperor's will?"

"Master Sun, slaves don't dare to falsely preach the imperial decree, this is a serious crime of beheading."

"But, but this is the position of prime minister!"

"I don't know, I'm just here to convey the imperial decree. If you have any questions, after the auction is over, you can go to the emperor and ask."

Sun Qingle didn't dare to announce it for a long time. The people who were waiting were impatient and yelled loudly. Dongfang Sheng was upset and ran up the tower.

"This is the last one, why not sell it?"

Sun Qingle looked at Dongfang Sheng, feeling distressed.

Dongfang Sheng said angrily: "What are you looking at me for! This general hates poor scholars like you the most! Bring it!" He grabbed a thin piece of paper and read aloud, "The position of prime minister , The starting bid is 10 taels!"

Dongfang Sheng only realized what he had read after he finished reading, and the crowd who heard him suddenly fell silent, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"The position of Prime Minister?" Dongfang Sheng turned his head to look at Sun Qingle, confirming to him.

Sun Qingle nodded without tears.

"The previous official position was either small, or had no real power, or had a bad record, or was replaced because he angered the emperor... The position of prime minister is the foundation of the country. How can the emperor take the future of the country? Are you kidding me?" Dongfang Sheng looked at Eunuch Wang asking for proof after speaking, hoping it was just a joke.

The prince didn't even look at them, he played with the gold beads in his hand, as if he didn't care about the matter.

Yue Xiu interjected at this time: "I heard that Princess Consort will participate."

"Feng Shaomin? He also wants to buy the position of prime minister?" Dongfang Sheng's eyes lit up.

"The national teacher will also come." Yue Xiu added.

When Dongfang Sheng heard this, he gritted his back teeth, turned around neatly and went down the tower.

"Hey, General, where are you going?"

"The position of prime minister can only belong to Feng Shaomin!" Dongfang Sheng said with his back turned.
