[Red House] Men's clothing

In summer, the days are long, and Situ Yue has nothing to do. He takes Fuyuan and Qiaoqiao to pick fruits in his Xiuye ​​Garden.

Most of Xiuye ​​Garden is planted with fruit trees and food. The houses are tile-roofed houses with a small yard. There are a few old cows tied outside, as well as stone mills and waterwheels. It is more like a small village.There is a small stream not far from the house, the stream is gurgling, and the wild flowers on both sides are very luxuriant. Fortunately, the wild grass is not high, and it is very comfortable to step on it.

Situ Yue tucked the hem of his robe into his belt, and held a fat baby with both hands. It wasn't obvious at first, but after a long time, the two bears couldn't hold them down, and they didn't want to get down.

"Hey, Fuyuan, you are the elder brother. When you come down, the younger sister will come down."

Fuyuan twisted his body, now he is more than three years old, and he speaks in a very orderly manner. He pouted and refused to come down, and finally squeezed out a few words, "Uncle Wang, it's hot."

Situ Yue didn't give up, and said to Qiao Qiao, "Let's not learn from my brother, my dear daughter, come down, my father will lead you."

The little girl turned her head and lay on Situ Yue's back, pretending she didn't hear her.

The more Situ thought about whether I could beat these two brats first.

Cheng Ju ran over to relieve her worries, "My lord, there are fruit trees in front, let's pick fruits for my little master."

Situ Yue walked over and took a look, only to realize that it was an apple. Apples are edible now, and they are usually ripe in August, but they are now hanging on the branches, they are red and looking very good, and the two children want to eat them too.Situ Yue took the opportunity to put the two of them down, went up and picked one for each of them, led the two of them back to the stream, washed them in the stream, wiped them with his hem, and took a bite.

Qiao Qiao held herself up to ask Situ Yue to wash her, but well, raising a child can't be always delicate, Situ Yue helped her to let her wash by herself, the little girl didn't dare to go, she was so scared that she almost cried.The boy was more courageous, so Fuyuan ran over to wash it by himself, followed Situ Yue's example and wiped the clothes, then gave the washed clothes to Qiao Qiao, and then went to wash another one with his butt pouted.

The three sat on the ground by the stream, each of them ate an apple, and lived happily ever after.

Fuyuan went back to Xiyuan at night, and when he came to Jinshang, he asked him what he did, what he played, and what he ate.

Fuyuan hung his little hands, and happily said that he went to the garden with Uncle Wang and ate the fruit. I washed the fruit myself, and I also washed one for sister Qiao Qiao.Both Jinshang and the Empress listened with a smile, and after Jinshang finished asking, the Empress immediately took her grandson into her arms, not a baby.On the contrary, the crown princess was a little unhappy, she dared not tell her mother-in-law and her husband some things, and could only say to the wives she married, "Our uncle is honorable, how can we let him do it himself, King Rong has always been a fuss , who doesn't know that our brother is honorable."

The women around her hurriedly stopped her from continuing to say, "Your Majesty, stop talking, King Rong and our crown prince are in a good relationship. Have you ever seen the crown prince frown into a frown every time he hears someone arranges his news?" ditch."

"That's all I said."

A few days later, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment brought several officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Siqing came to Xiyuan with a group of principals to seek an audience.Seeing that the case was about to be closed, Situ Yue was not interested in listening in. She knew the ins and outs of this matter. Five days after the plaintiff beat the Dengwen drum, Qin Wu put the things he found on her. It's on the table.

The deceased was a catcher. When he was leading someone to catch a thief, he saw a thief hiding in a wealthy family's house. After thinking about it, the group of catchers knocked on the door and wanted to search. The family is not simple, someone in their family is an official in Beijing, not a petty official, but a servant of the Ministry of Rites.When the family heard that a thief had entered the house, not only did they not open the door, but they also scolded the policeman, saying that the policeman spread rumors to frame themselves.

The catchers are all rough people, how can they understand what this family means? There are female relatives in the family. If the matter of letting the thief into the house is implemented, the reputation of the female relatives will not be good.

When the county magistrate heard that he had lost the thief, he naturally scolded the group of arresters. As the leader, the dead were naturally scolded more.

It would be fine if this happened so much, but the thief who escaped had a bad mind, and pretended to be a wit in the servant's hometown to meet his young lady. Every night, he climbed over the courtyard wall with a rope. Stay overnight in Miss's embroidery room, and then run out before dawn.After a few days, the maid at home found out that the head of the family panicked and secretly arrested the county magistrate and put pressure on them to catch the little thief immediately and execute him immediately on the spot.

The matter of catching a thief is not just a matter of catching a thief. If a thief is caught, the group of catchers would like to sit on the sidelines, squatting in the lady's embroidery room and waiting for someone to throw a net.The sufferer was naturally unwilling, saying that letting a group of men enter the embroidery room would damage her boudoir's reputation.The policemen have been squatting inside the walls of other people's houses since night, waiting for the thief to climb over the wall. Who knows, when the thief just came, the lady of which house yelled to let the thief run away.The police quickly set up a ladder and climbed over the wall to chase after him. The noise was so loud that the neighbors on the left and right were alarmed.

There were gossip in the county. The servant in Beijing received the letter from his family and immediately wrote a letter to the county magistrate. The county magistrate put pressure on the arrester. died.

Who would have thought that the daughter of the deceased would sue all the way, and a servant of the Ministry of Rites used the relationship between the same year and classmates, and begged his colleagues to write letters to the disciples who were officials, all the way to hide it, and all kinds of entrustments put the matter down, He also asked people to seize the coffin of the deceased, which annoyed the villagers, and one of them said, "We will go to Beijing to file an imperial lawsuit and let the emperor preside over justice."

Hearing this, the daughter of the deceased decided to sue the imperial court and beat the Dengwen drum. She was chased and intercepted all the way, and she dared not beat the drum during the day, so she had to wait until night. Dai Xiao, go to the front of the palace to beat the Dengwen drum.Marquis Wu, who was on night watch, didn't dare to block the way, so he followed them left and right to show them the way. The girl was too young to stand up to the height of a drum stand. When they reached the Dengwen Drum, the guard repeatedly confirmed that she was going to file a complaint, and rang the Dengwen Drum for her. , Alarmed today and all officials.

The case has been closed, a total of 51 officials were involved, and the Ministry of Officials was responsible for negligence. Situ Yue, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, was deducted three years of salary.

Xuan Situ Yue went to Xiyuan on the second day after learning about this case.The two were boating on the lake, and Chengyue brought his son Fuyuan to accompany them, chatting about the management of officials in this case.

"It's nothing more than a dispute between monarchy and official power. If we were tough enough, these people wouldn't dare to ignore human lives like this." It was Situ Yue who said this kind of argument. She always believed that only more standardized governance can manage the officialdom in a more standardized way.

"Now in the officialdom, in the same year, the friendship of classmates is more important than ethics and laws. Why? It's just an alliance of interests. The big competition is held every three years, and Enke is added in a good year. How many officials are selected? Formed various alliances, some in the same region, some in the same academy, and some with the same teacher. Connected together, assembled into a party, and watched and helped each other. Now, the disaster of party struggle has gradually become obvious, and they are intriguing all day long , The imperial court's decree is not clear, and the upper and lower are deceived. If this continues, the imperial court will be paralyzed. If there is chaos, it will be difficult to suppress it."

"What do you think Jun Ming should do?"

"Set an upper limit. There must be a certain number of official positions and small officials in a yamen, and the official positions of all yamen are counted. This is one. The second is that according to these official positions, they are allocated to these cronies. How much can a crony get at most? For an official position, if there is no cronies, in the future work, if there is a tendency to a crony, interceding for others, dealing with others, he will be dismissed immediately and investigated. If there are relatives who are officials in the officialdom, they will not be allowed to become officials within two generations. , one of the sons and daughters of the family cannot be an official. Of course, the specific rules need to be supplemented."

"Too strict, too strict." Imakami shook his head.

Situ Yue stopped talking. Since ancient times, scholars have regarded reading as a qualification for promotion. They all thought that they were pleading for the people, but in fact they entered the officialdom for themselves.

Fuyuan didn't know what these words were talking about, so he stuffed himself into Jinshang's arms, pointed at the fruit to eat, and immediately fed it to his grandson himself.Cheng Yue looked at Situ Yue and held back his words.

"Junming is right. It's a contest between monarchy and official power. If it's a contest, you can't be soft. This matter needs to be discussed carefully. Junming, do you have any other options?"

Situ Yue smiled and said, "No, I just thought of a way."

I will not ask any more today.

When the boat arrived on the shore, Situ Yue went to meet the emperor and concubine, and today he took his son and grandson and walked slowly on the path on the shore.

"Your elder brother said, what do you think?"

"My son thinks, we can make some changes according to the suggestion of the elder brother. The elder brother has always been strict with others and himself. But this is a good way."

"Go to your elder brother and have a good talk. I don't know where I provoked her. Recently, I always don't give me a good face, and I don't answer when I talk. I talked to your mother yesterday. Unknowingly, Jun Ming was annoyed. You also think for me, have my words gone out of line recently?"

"Where is it? Father, don't think about it too much. Once the elder brother is like this, Yi Erchen looks at it. It must be that the elder brother has been tired for a while. And what's more," Cheng Yue stepped forward and lowered his voice, "Eldest brother is still, they It's hard to guess what's on her mind, or else, Erchen invites her out tonight or tomorrow night for a few drinks and asks."

Jin Shang hurriedly waved his hand, "Forget it, forget it, you can't do this, don't let your eldest brother go back tonight, I will have a banquet with your mother and queen at the Furong Pavilion, you can come to accompany me. Let your mother and her say something."

Cheng Yue smiled and agreed, just in time, someone from the East Palace came to look for Cheng Yue, saying that the second master was crying and looking for his father. Er Fupei hugged me.
