Chapter 149 The Ministry of Rites
On the 28th day of the first month of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, the emperor issued an edict: pardon the descendants of the Chuanzi generation and the descendants of the Chuanzi generation of the Duke of Shu. In Zongzheng's mansion, he was not allowed to take a single step in his life, and those who violated it would be executed.
The grandson of the Duke of Shu is a young man in his early 20s. When he heard the news of his father's death, he cried a lot. After that, he built a thatched cottage in the backyard of the Duke of Shu's mansion, and had to keep his father's filial piety for three years.Whether it's true temperament, or pretending to be pure and filial, Jin Yiwei has been watching him closely for three years, until he finds out what the Duke of Shu has concealed, money, food or weapons.Before the Duke of Shu was found out, Jin Yiwei would not evacuate from the Duke of Shu's mansion, unless several generations of them stopped thinking about the hidden things and made the secret an eternal secret.
The crime committed by the King of Jinan was confirmed, and all the property in the treasury of the King's Mansion of Jinan was confiscated, half of which was put into the treasury to offset the crime, and half was handed over to Si Jianhong as compensation to the Hong family.It was also through this half of the property that although the king of Jinan was convicted of a capital crime, his eldest son was allowed to inherit the title of Duke of Lu. Yes, since the Prince's Mansion in Jinan is gone, the princess who deserves to be sealed doesn't mind sealing it up again.
The second son of King Lu was granted the title of Lord Jianxin, and the third son of King Lu was awarded the title of Lord Yangle.
The new Duke of Lu's mansion soon split up.
The King of Jinan is still in Zhao Prison, and it is impossible for him to come out before he dies. The Princess Lu is lying on the bed and cannot get up. Naturally, all matters of the Duke of Lu’s mansion are in the hands of the Princess Jinan. Ding Zhao came over and said that he wanted to separate the family.
The King of Jinan is no different from dead now. The eldest sister-in-law and eldest nephew are in charge of the mansion, so the family should indeed be separated.Besides, it has already become like this, and no one feels comfortable living together, so it is better to make a clear distinction early.
However, there was nothing left in the treasury of King Lu's Mansion, only the sacrificial land that could not be sold and the deeds of several houses in Lu County.All the public property and shares were confiscated, but the private property of each house was still there.But except for the long house, the second and third house are just waiting to die. Where there is any surplus money, it is the long house. The dowry of the princess of Jinan has already been ruined by the king of Jinan.
The third son of King Lu asked for two house deeds and chose to return to Lu County with his wife and children.He doesn't have any skills, and he just sits and eats when he stays in Chang'an. It's not a problem for his family to eat, drink and chew from the hundred households of Fengjun.When he returned to Lu County, he might be able to find something to do with his original contacts.
The second son of King Lu hesitated for a long time, and also chose to leave Chang'an.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not one who knows how to raise a child, I still have to entrust this child to you." The second son of King Lu said with his arms around the child.
This child is the concubine son of King Jinan, named Si Jianxiao, who is eight years old and tenth in his lineage. Proper upbringing will never make a white-eyed wolf.
Princess Jinan frowned slightly. There are quite a few children in the mansion, all of whom are the sons of the King of Jinan. They might fight when they get together. Now that there is another adoptive child left behind, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.Besides, since it has been adopted to the second son of King Lu, it is better to follow the second son of King Lu. How can a son not follow his father, but follow the elder brother next door?
Seeing the puzzlement of the princess of Jinan, the second son of King Lu explained: "After this incident, I want to go to the north to join the army. Although the Huns are in chaos now, they have not declined to the point of insignificance. There will still be wars. He is only eight years old, I can't take the child to join the army, and there is a lesson from Lu Chenghou...it will be troublesome to find another child."
Princess Jinan nodded and said: "The eldest princess has set up another school for the children of the clan to study and practice martial arts. If the second uncle doesn't mind, I will send all the children there. With the current situation in the mansion, the ability It is also really limited. Whether you can make it into a tool or what it can look like depends on yourself."
"It's so good." The second son of King Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the matter was settled, the second son of King Lu led Si Jianxiao back to his yard.His wife, the daughter of the prefect of Jinan, was staring at him, her body like a mountain of meat blocked the door, and said sharply, "Are you going to leave Chang'an? I won't allow it!"
Si Jianxiao was so frightened that he hid behind the second son of King Lu. Is this a man who is too fat, or has he grown into a man with five senses and four limbs?
The second son of King Lu comforted him, looked at the meat mountain, and said coldly: "Why don't you allow it, Mrs. Wang? Do you think I will tolerate you in every possible way now? If your father hadn't found out the whole story of the Hong family's case back then." , I was delusional to use this to please my mother, how could I marry you in? Tomorrow I will go to the Zongzheng Mansion, and I want to divorce my wife!"
Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she couldn't help taking a step back. Obviously, she didn't expect that the person who had been almost obedient to her for so many years would one day be so cruel and wanted to divorce her. How many people are willing to marry?Besides, he returned home after being retired.She screamed uncontrollably, and shouted: "I won't allow it! Why do you want to divorce me! If I have committed any crime, you will divorce me!"
The second son of King Lu tightly covered Si Jianxiao's ears so that he would not hear Wang's sharp cry.He looked at Mrs. Wang and said in a deep voice, "You are childless and jealous, why can't I rest?"
"Childless? Jealous? How can I be jealous? You have three concubines, and you can count them on one hand when you lived with me in January, but I have never tortured those concubines because of this matter! If you have no children, can I have a child by myself? You have been resting in those vixen's houses all day long but haven't laid a single egg. Is it to blame me? Isn't this your own..." Wang said She widened her eyes. Obviously, she realized something, "Is it because you can't have children, or did you do it on purpose... You deliberately didn't have children, and you didn't have children in your life, just to divorce me for a reasonable reason?"
The second son of King Lu looked at her indifferently.
"Si Chuanfu!" Wang screamed again, "You've been planning for so many years just to get rid of me! Why don't you plan more for your own future with such a plan! Why!"
"Because...it's redemption..." The second son of King Lu murmured.His fourth brother didn't live to adulthood, and he has no chance to marry a wife and have children in this life. How can he deserve it, how can he deserve to have a child of his own?
The second son of King Lu said: "Don't say any more. I haven't touched your dowry in these years. I will contact your father and send you back. If you are honest, we will be separated. If you are not honest , don’t blame me for changing the letter of divorce from Heli to the letter of divorce!”
"you you……"
"The case of the Hong family has been revealed to the world. I have nothing left for you to control. You can do it yourself." The second son of King Lu took Si Jianxiao's hand into the courtyard. Si Jianxiao couldn't hold back his curiosity and turned his head. Glancing at Mrs. Wang who was standing there, her spine shivered from the resentment in the other's eyes, she immediately turned her head and hugged the arm of the second son of King Lu tightly.
Although not much, the second son of the King of Lu has some savings. These are all things he has tried to hide. He has ten acres of middle land in Lu County. He has already found a long-term tenant and rented out another place. As soon as you enter the small courtyard, although it is simple, it is better than your own house, and you can get it back when the lease is up. The money is deposited twice, and there are half a gold cake and a whole silver cake, all kept in a locked room. in the box.
"These are things Daddy left for you. Please keep them here. Don't lose them." The second son of King Lu let Si Jianxiao hold the small box, put the key into his little hand, and said softly, "Daddy, wait a little longer." It's time to go to Beidi, you should study hard and practice martial arts in the mansion, don't quarrel with your brothers, it doesn't matter if you don't study well, but you must take good care of yourself, okay?"
Si Jianxiao was holding something, and tears immediately fell down.The man in front of him has changed from his second uncle to his father, and he hasn't been able to change it well yet. He is still used to treating this man as his second uncle, not his father.But for a child whose biological mother died young and whose father was an asshole, in the eyes of the second son of King Lu, the care for his son was something he never dared to expect before.
Si Jianxiao didn't know what this kind of entrustment meant, but he knew that the second son of King Lu trusted him very much, otherwise why would he have given him so many things?
I trust and value it.
"I must, I must study hard and practice martial arts!"
The second son of King Lu gently rubbed his head.
A few days later, the second son of the King of Lu collected the things that were convenient for taking on the road, and left all the money to Si Jianxiao.Under Dajin’s knighthood system, most of the sons and daughters of the clan are disrespectful, eating and waiting to die, and few are willing to work hard. He just mentioned to Dazongzheng that he wants to go to the north to serve as an army, and Dazongzheng made a perfect plan for him .From now on, I will go all the way north, and what happens after arriving in the Northland depends on my personal chance.
Si Jianxiao lived with him for a few days, and became acquainted with this father a lot, and got along a lot more comfortably on weekdays.
"Daddy, I want to go with you to see off third uncle."
The second son of King Lu rubbed his head and said with a smile, "Let's go together."
The second son of King Lu and Si Jianxiao sent the family of the third son of King Lu out of Chang'an. The family of the third son of Lu King has a large population. If they hadn't been granted a new title and a house, they would have suffered a lot if they left the mansion.I don't want to be the second son of King Lu, he only has one heir, and his whole family is more than enough to support his son. When he arrives in the Northland, he only needs to eat military pay. With the status of the clan and lord, the kings of the Northland will also take care of him a little bit. of.
"Third brother, just say goodbye and take care."
The third son of King Lu nodded his head to the second son of King Lu, and said in reply, he looked at Si Jianxiao and said, "I will have a chance to visit third uncle's house in the future."
Si Jianxiao hid behind the second son of King Lu and nodded vigorously.
The third son of King Lu took a last look at the bustling Chang'an City. This city is much more prosperous than Lu County, but it is not a place where they can take root.
The father and son sent off the family of Lu Wang and the third son, and walked slowly back to Lu Wang's mansion.
"Daddy, look there are people outside the house."
There were two horses tied outside the gate of Duke Lu's mansion, and a man who looked very strong was sitting on the stone steps beside him, as if he was guarding the horses.Seeing the father and son approaching, he immediately stood up and saluted, "The younger one is leading the horse for Duke Deng."
Deng Guogong?The second son of the King of Lu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Si Jianhong was now made Deng Guogong and had changed his name.
When the two entered the mansion, they found that Si Jianhong was sitting in the main hall, accompanied by the immature Lu Guogong with a serious face, trying to pretend to be an adult.Seeing that the second son of King Lu had returned, Duke Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, and called, "Second Uncle."
Si Jianhong stood up and said, "Mr. Jianxin."
The second son of the King of Lu looked at Si Jianhong and found that only a year later, the person in front of him had become completely different. He no longer had the gloomy look he had when he was in Ludi, although he still didn't look like a young man in his twenties. People, but they are much better than the original premature aging appearance.
"Please." The second son of King Lu said, he looked at Duke Lu again, and said, "Brother Xi, I'm here, take Xiao Shi back to the backyard."
Duke Lu also knew that he couldn't handle such a thing, so he saluted Si Jianhong and led Si Jianxiao to the backyard.
"Deng Guogong, please take your seat."
Si Jianhong smiled and said, "Second Uncle, there's no need to be like this. Except for King Jinan and Princess Lu, no one in this mansion has treated me badly. You should take the seat."
The second son of King Lu didn't know what Si Jianhong meant, so he didn't give in any more, and sat at the top.
Seeing him sitting down, Si Jianhong sat down and said, "Second uncle, this is the end of the matter, and I won't go around in circles with you. This is why I came this time." He took out a piece from his arms and rolled it up together. Put the white buckskin on the table and push it towards the second son of King Lu.
This piece of white deerskin is one foot long and six inches wide. Right above it is the Dajin Imperial Household Office. On the left is written the second day of February in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, on the right is Chang'an Bank No. 130, and in the middle is Lu There is [-] two catties of gold in the Duke’s Mansion, and there are densely packed small characters printed on the bottom. If you carefully identify it, you will find that it is an excerpt from "Fu on Two Capitals" written by Ban Dingyuan, a master of the former Han Dynasty.In addition, there are two imprints, one stamp, one imprint is the seal of Chang'an Bank, the other is the private seal of the shopkeeper of Chang'an Bank, and the stamp is the stamp and handprint of the shopkeeper.
This thing is called a money ticket, which was made by Emperor Gaozu imitating the white buckskin coin of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty.
Emperor Gaozu set up a royal bank in Chang'an, established a bank in Chang'an, and set up branches in counties and states all over the world.The money bank is affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you deposit money in the bank, you can get a money ticket that can be used to withdraw money in various branches.There are two types of bills, one is fixed denomination bills, fixed denominations are [-], [-], [-] and [-] bills, and the fixed denomination bills are made of mulberry paper; The other is that the honorable family deposits a certain amount of gold, silver or copper coins into the bank. This one is made of white buckskin, and the identity of the depositor and the deposited things are clearly written on it, including but not It is limited to gold, silver, copper coins, jade pendants, etc. When you come to pick it up, you need to show something that can prove your identity, such as an official seal or warrant.
Money tickets made of white deer leather are also called white deer tickets.
What Si Jianhong took out was the White Deer Ticket.
The second son of the King of Lu stared at the words "130 catties of gold deposited in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Lu" for a long while before slowly letting out a breath.When King Lu's mansion was the most prosperous, there was never so much gold in the treasury, which was equivalent to nearly half of the property before the mansion was confiscated.
"What is the meaning of Deng Guogong?" The second son of King Lu pushed the Bailu ticket back and asked, "Deng Guogong should know that the original treasury of the Jinan Prince's Mansion was confiscated, and the mansion couldn't produce so much gold to store it. Enter the bank."
Si Jianhong said: "So that Second Uncle can know that this money is half of the confiscated money from Jinan Palace."
"Which half is this?"
"The half that will be paid to the Hong family."
"Since it was paid to the Hong family, then you should keep it."
"But there is no one in the Hong family anymore, and there is no one with the surname Hong anymore." Si Jianhong said every word, and he pushed the white deer ticket back, and said in a deep voice: "Since there is no one with the surname Hong, Then there is no need to compensate these things. For me, a person surnamed Si, I have already got enough to make up for what I lost."
The second son of King Lu looked at him quietly, and the two looked at each other for a long time. He sighed and said, "Since you persist like this, thank you very much."
Si Jianhong also heaved a sigh of relief.
He returned these things back, and replaced it with a complete Lu State Duke's Mansion, so he should not owe anything anymore.
It's all over.
……
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was almost grey-haired. Ever since Hou Yan heard from the Empress Dowager that he wanted them to get married earlier, he came to visit the yamen of the Ministry of Rites when he had nothing to do.He didn't say much, but as soon as his eyes opened, the Minister of Rites knew what this person was going to say.
When is a good day?
how could I know!
I just set a date, if the Ministry of Industry can't finish the work, it's okay!Are you going to live in the palace? !
The Minister of Rites slandered viciously in his heart, feeling much happier, and began to pick auspicious days again.
It is customary for physiognomy masters to calculate once a month, and some senior gentlemen even calculate every ten days, waiting for someone to come to ask which day is auspicious and what is suitable for doing.If you calculate the whole year in one breath, you may have no food for this year, and it takes a lot of energy to do it, and you can't bear it if you calculate it in one breath.
The Ministry of Rites originally counted every ten days, and after the calculation was completed, it was pasted on the wall outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites for the common people to use.
Originally, the Minister of Rites thought that the wedding date would be in November or December. There are more auspicious days near the root of the year, and they will not collide with some taboo days. In November and December, there are almost no nobles from the Tian family The birthday or death date is the most appropriate, and it saves effort to pick it up.As a result, the Empress Dowager asked to get married as soon as possible, how early would that be?
The eldest princess is more important than the prince, and getting married is a major event in the whole world. It must be celebrated by the whole world. September and October are in time for the autumn harvest, so it must not be possible.From June to August, the empress dowager passed away in May, the first emperor died in July, and some emperors or empresses died during this period.Just push it forward.
At the latest, it will be in May at the latest.
With the empress dowager's urging, the auspicious days of the zodiac will be counted again.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was sweating profusely, so he heard the report from the errand runner below: "Marquis Yan is here for tea again."
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites who was listening at the side suddenly seemed to be facing an enemy, and hurriedly said: "Shang Shu, there are still some things in the lower official's house, I need to go back early, and the lower official will deal with these matters early tomorrow!"
Without waiting for the Minister of Rites to reply, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites immediately slipped away.
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites opened his mouth and said: "Shangshu, I just remembered..."
"No!" The Minister of Rites stared at him and said, "Hurry up and greet Marquis Yan!"
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites went away with a sad face, deeply hated that the left servant took the lead in finding an excuse to sneak home.
Although Yan Hou has a bad reputation, he still looks very kind, and his handsome and fair face adds a lot to this evaluation.Originally, Marquis Yan liked to run to the palace whenever he had nothing to do, and occasionally stayed in the Jinyang Palace. There was a gossip that Marquis Yan slept on the princess's bed at night.Gossip, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but based on the eldest princess’s way of thinking, the news must be false, but it doesn’t stop the spectators from being excited, and spending a copper coin to bet on the good things of the eldest princess and Marquis Yan to the end Is it done?
But I heard that the Empress Dowager often went to Jinyang Palace to visit the eldest princess recently, which forced Yan Hou to reduce the number of times he entered the palace, and he did not stay in Jinyang Palace anymore.In desperation, Marquis Yan had no choice but to come to the Ministry of Rites to urge him three times a day, hoping to get married as soon as possible, and sleep on the eldest princess's bed with confidence as soon as possible, without worrying about his mother-in-law's eyes like catching a thief.
But this is a pain for the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
No matter how handsome and good-looking Marquis Yan is, he is also a guy who kills without batting an eyelid. The weeds on the graves of the thieves who died in the Hedong case have just grown, so why don't they panic?Even if you are full of righteousness and are not afraid of Yanhou, when you are doing things, there is a guy with eyes like copper bells looking around, can you do things steadily?
Ghosts are down to earth!
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites scolded the left servant of the Ministry of Rites bitterly in his heart.
Straight girl thief!
Yan Hou sat in the reception room, touched a cup of hot tea, and sighed softly.
The rumors outside are true.
I don't know if it was because she was too complacent, which caused the noise of walking, or if someone in Jinyang Hall was double-faced.In short, when she stayed in the palace, she slept in the princess's bed, which was known by the Queen Mother Zhao.The Empress Dowager Zhao didn't say anything when she found out, she just called a few medical officers who were good at treating women from the Imperial Physician's Mansion to check the eldest princess' pulse. Empress Dowager Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
It is still the case now, but it doesn't mean it will still be the future. If the gun goes off, it will be a big deal.Empress Dowager Zhao is someone who has experienced it, and knows what will happen when young people who like each other get together.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao often came to Jinyang Hall to sit for a while, and Yan Zhaoge often entered the palace. hot tea,
The eldest princess had nothing to do about it.It is very normal for Queen Mother Zhao to be worried, she will be reviled by thousands of people if she commits an affair before marriage, if she is pregnant now, she will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes of the courtiers.But Yan Zhaoge is a daughter, not to mention not having sex with her yet, even if she sleeps with her for a year or so, it is impossible for her to have a child.
But Queen Mother Zhao didn't know, and it was impossible for her to know about this matter.So we can only keep this misunderstanding silently.
Yan Zhaoge sat in the Jinyang Palace for a few days, but couldn't resist the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhao, so he simply refused to enter the palace.Not entering the palace and having nothing to do, the Jinyiwei below had the hope of being promoted to a noble, and they all worked hard, wishing to spend twelve hours on errands, which resulted in her, the commander of the Jinyiwei, having nothing to do.
She thought for a while, why don't she just come to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and sit down, and she doesn't plan to sit for too long, just sit until the day when the wedding date is set.
As for why not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, because there is no one in the Ministry of Industry.
The yamen of the Ministry of Industry has now become a decoration, and only a few small officials who take turns to work are sitting there.The Ministry of Industry took part of the staff to supervise the construction of the embankment in Hedong, and the rest were in Chang'an. They were very busy. Cai Guogong's mansion, Mao Guogong's mansion, and Princess Changgong's mansion were all to be built. I wished that one person had eight hands.The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who supervised the construction had lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and his chin was out of shape. Yan Zhaoge was really embarrassed to bother him.
So I came to bother the seemingly relaxed Minister of Rites.
If Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites found out, he would risk his life to fight her.
Yan Zhaoge sighed again while drinking hot tea.
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites bit the bullet and came to greet her, and before saying a few words, he heard the voice of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The voice was so penetrating that it could be heard in the ears across most of the yard.
"Okay! Then the first day of April! Exactly!"
The author has something to say: The game was updated today, so... sorry ORZ

The grandson of the Duke of Shu is a young man in his early 20s. When he heard the news of his father's death, he cried a lot. After that, he built a thatched cottage in the backyard of the Duke of Shu's mansion, and had to keep his father's filial piety for three years.Whether it's true temperament, or pretending to be pure and filial, Jin Yiwei has been watching him closely for three years, until he finds out what the Duke of Shu has concealed, money, food or weapons.Before the Duke of Shu was found out, Jin Yiwei would not evacuate from the Duke of Shu's mansion, unless several generations of them stopped thinking about the hidden things and made the secret an eternal secret.

Yes, since the Prince's Mansion in Jinan is gone, the princess who deserves to be sealed doesn't mind sealing it up again.
The second son of King Lu was granted the title of Lord Jianxin, and the third son of King Lu was awarded the title of Lord Yangle.
The new Duke of Lu's mansion soon split up.
The King of Jinan is still in Zhao Prison, and it is impossible for him to come out before he dies. The Princess Lu is lying on the bed and cannot get up. Naturally, all matters of the Duke of Lu’s mansion are in the hands of the Princess Jinan. Ding Zhao came over and said that he wanted to separate the family.
The King of Jinan is no different from dead now. The eldest sister-in-law and eldest nephew are in charge of the mansion, so the family should indeed be separated.Besides, it has already become like this, and no one feels comfortable living together, so it is better to make a clear distinction early.
However, there was nothing left in the treasury of King Lu's Mansion, only the sacrificial land that could not be sold and the deeds of several houses in Lu County.All the public property and shares were confiscated, but the private property of each house was still there.But except for the long house, the second and third house are just waiting to die. Where there is any surplus money, it is the long house. The dowry of the princess of Jinan has already been ruined by the king of Jinan.
The third son of King Lu asked for two house deeds and chose to return to Lu County with his wife and children.He doesn't have any skills, and he just sits and eats when he stays in Chang'an. It's not a problem for his family to eat, drink and chew from the hundred households of Fengjun.When he returned to Lu County, he might be able to find something to do with his original contacts.
The second son of King Lu hesitated for a long time, and also chose to leave Chang'an.
"Sister-in-law, I'm not one who knows how to raise a child, I still have to entrust this child to you." The second son of King Lu said with his arms around the child.
This child is the concubine son of King Jinan, named Si Jianxiao, who is eight years old and tenth in his lineage. Proper upbringing will never make a white-eyed wolf.
Princess Jinan frowned slightly. There are quite a few children in the mansion, all of whom are the sons of the King of Jinan. They might fight when they get together. Now that there is another adoptive child left behind, there is no guarantee that there will be no accidents.Besides, since it has been adopted to the second son of King Lu, it is better to follow the second son of King Lu. How can a son not follow his father, but follow the elder brother next door?
Seeing the puzzlement of the princess of Jinan, the second son of King Lu explained: "After this incident, I want to go to the north to join the army. Although the Huns are in chaos now, they have not declined to the point of insignificance. There will still be wars. He is only eight years old, I can't take the child to join the army, and there is a lesson from Lu Chenghou...it will be troublesome to find another child."
Princess Jinan nodded and said: "The eldest princess has set up another school for the children of the clan to study and practice martial arts. If the second uncle doesn't mind, I will send all the children there. With the current situation in the mansion, the ability It is also really limited. Whether you can make it into a tool or what it can look like depends on yourself."
"It's so good." The second son of King Lu also breathed a sigh of relief.
After the matter was settled, the second son of King Lu led Si Jianxiao back to his yard.His wife, the daughter of the prefect of Jinan, was staring at him, her body like a mountain of meat blocked the door, and said sharply, "Are you going to leave Chang'an? I won't allow it!"
Si Jianxiao was so frightened that he hid behind the second son of King Lu. Is this a man who is too fat, or has he grown into a man with five senses and four limbs?
The second son of King Lu comforted him, looked at the meat mountain, and said coldly: "Why don't you allow it, Mrs. Wang? Do you think I will tolerate you in every possible way now? If your father hadn't found out the whole story of the Hong family's case back then." , I was delusional to use this to please my mother, how could I marry you in? Tomorrow I will go to the Zongzheng Mansion, and I want to divorce my wife!"
Mrs. Wang was so shocked that she couldn't help taking a step back. Obviously, she didn't expect that the person who had been almost obedient to her for so many years would one day be so cruel and wanted to divorce her. How many people are willing to marry?Besides, he returned home after being retired.She screamed uncontrollably, and shouted: "I won't allow it! Why do you want to divorce me! If I have committed any crime, you will divorce me!"
The second son of King Lu tightly covered Si Jianxiao's ears so that he would not hear Wang's sharp cry.He looked at Mrs. Wang and said in a deep voice, "You are childless and jealous, why can't I rest?"
"Childless? Jealous? How can I be jealous? You have three concubines, and you can count them on one hand when you lived with me in January, but I have never tortured those concubines because of this matter! If you have no children, can I have a child by myself? You have been resting in those vixen's houses all day long but haven't laid a single egg. Is it to blame me? Isn't this your own..." Wang said She widened her eyes. Obviously, she realized something, "Is it because you can't have children, or did you do it on purpose... You deliberately didn't have children, and you didn't have children in your life, just to divorce me for a reasonable reason?"
The second son of King Lu looked at her indifferently.
"Si Chuanfu!" Wang screamed again, "You've been planning for so many years just to get rid of me! Why don't you plan more for your own future with such a plan! Why!"
"Because...it's redemption..." The second son of King Lu murmured.His fourth brother didn't live to adulthood, and he has no chance to marry a wife and have children in this life. How can he deserve it, how can he deserve to have a child of his own?
The second son of King Lu said: "Don't say any more. I haven't touched your dowry in these years. I will contact your father and send you back. If you are honest, we will be separated. If you are not honest , don’t blame me for changing the letter of divorce from Heli to the letter of divorce!”
"you you……"
"The case of the Hong family has been revealed to the world. I have nothing left for you to control. You can do it yourself." The second son of King Lu took Si Jianxiao's hand into the courtyard. Si Jianxiao couldn't hold back his curiosity and turned his head. Glancing at Mrs. Wang who was standing there, her spine shivered from the resentment in the other's eyes, she immediately turned her head and hugged the arm of the second son of King Lu tightly.
Although not much, the second son of the King of Lu has some savings. These are all things he has tried to hide. He has ten acres of middle land in Lu County. He has already found a long-term tenant and rented out another place. As soon as you enter the small courtyard, although it is simple, it is better than your own house, and you can get it back when the lease is up. The money is deposited twice, and there are half a gold cake and a whole silver cake, all kept in a locked room. in the box.
"These are things Daddy left for you. Please keep them here. Don't lose them." The second son of King Lu let Si Jianxiao hold the small box, put the key into his little hand, and said softly, "Daddy, wait a little longer." It's time to go to Beidi, you should study hard and practice martial arts in the mansion, don't quarrel with your brothers, it doesn't matter if you don't study well, but you must take good care of yourself, okay?"
Si Jianxiao was holding something, and tears immediately fell down.The man in front of him has changed from his second uncle to his father, and he hasn't been able to change it well yet. He is still used to treating this man as his second uncle, not his father.But for a child whose biological mother died young and whose father was an asshole, in the eyes of the second son of King Lu, the care for his son was something he never dared to expect before.
Si Jianxiao didn't know what this kind of entrustment meant, but he knew that the second son of King Lu trusted him very much, otherwise why would he have given him so many things?
I trust and value it.
"I must, I must study hard and practice martial arts!"
The second son of King Lu gently rubbed his head.
A few days later, the second son of the King of Lu collected the things that were convenient for taking on the road, and left all the money to Si Jianxiao.Under Dajin’s knighthood system, most of the sons and daughters of the clan are disrespectful, eating and waiting to die, and few are willing to work hard. He just mentioned to Dazongzheng that he wants to go to the north to serve as an army, and Dazongzheng made a perfect plan for him .From now on, I will go all the way north, and what happens after arriving in the Northland depends on my personal chance.
Si Jianxiao lived with him for a few days, and became acquainted with this father a lot, and got along a lot more comfortably on weekdays.
"Daddy, I want to go with you to see off third uncle."
The second son of King Lu rubbed his head and said with a smile, "Let's go together."
The second son of King Lu and Si Jianxiao sent the family of the third son of King Lu out of Chang'an. The family of the third son of Lu King has a large population. If they hadn't been granted a new title and a house, they would have suffered a lot if they left the mansion.I don't want to be the second son of King Lu, he only has one heir, and his whole family is more than enough to support his son. When he arrives in the Northland, he only needs to eat military pay. With the status of the clan and lord, the kings of the Northland will also take care of him a little bit. of.
"Third brother, just say goodbye and take care."
The third son of King Lu nodded his head to the second son of King Lu, and said in reply, he looked at Si Jianxiao and said, "I will have a chance to visit third uncle's house in the future."
Si Jianxiao hid behind the second son of King Lu and nodded vigorously.
The third son of King Lu took a last look at the bustling Chang'an City. This city is much more prosperous than Lu County, but it is not a place where they can take root.
The father and son sent off the family of Lu Wang and the third son, and walked slowly back to Lu Wang's mansion.
"Daddy, look there are people outside the house."
There were two horses tied outside the gate of Duke Lu's mansion, and a man who looked very strong was sitting on the stone steps beside him, as if he was guarding the horses.Seeing the father and son approaching, he immediately stood up and saluted, "The younger one is leading the horse for Duke Deng."
Deng Guogong?The second son of the King of Lu was stunned for a moment before he remembered that Si Jianhong was now made Deng Guogong and had changed his name.
When the two entered the mansion, they found that Si Jianhong was sitting in the main hall, accompanied by the immature Lu Guogong with a serious face, trying to pretend to be an adult.Seeing that the second son of King Lu had returned, Duke Lu also breathed a sigh of relief, and called, "Second Uncle."
Si Jianhong stood up and said, "Mr. Jianxin."
The second son of the King of Lu looked at Si Jianhong and found that only a year later, the person in front of him had become completely different. He no longer had the gloomy look he had when he was in Ludi, although he still didn't look like a young man in his twenties. People, but they are much better than the original premature aging appearance.
"Please." The second son of King Lu said, he looked at Duke Lu again, and said, "Brother Xi, I'm here, take Xiao Shi back to the backyard."
Duke Lu also knew that he couldn't handle such a thing, so he saluted Si Jianhong and led Si Jianxiao to the backyard.
"Deng Guogong, please take your seat."
Si Jianhong smiled and said, "Second Uncle, there's no need to be like this. Except for King Jinan and Princess Lu, no one in this mansion has treated me badly. You should take the seat."
The second son of King Lu didn't know what Si Jianhong meant, so he didn't give in any more, and sat at the top.
Seeing him sitting down, Si Jianhong sat down and said, "Second uncle, this is the end of the matter, and I won't go around in circles with you. This is why I came this time." He took out a piece from his arms and rolled it up together. Put the white buckskin on the table and push it towards the second son of King Lu.
This piece of white deerskin is one foot long and six inches wide. Right above it is the Dajin Imperial Household Office. On the left is written the second day of February in the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, on the right is Chang'an Bank No. 130, and in the middle is Lu There is [-] two catties of gold in the Duke’s Mansion, and there are densely packed small characters printed on the bottom. If you carefully identify it, you will find that it is an excerpt from "Fu on Two Capitals" written by Ban Dingyuan, a master of the former Han Dynasty.In addition, there are two imprints, one stamp, one imprint is the seal of Chang'an Bank, the other is the private seal of the shopkeeper of Chang'an Bank, and the stamp is the stamp and handprint of the shopkeeper.
This thing is called a money ticket, which was made by Emperor Gaozu imitating the white buckskin coin of Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty.
Emperor Gaozu set up a royal bank in Chang'an, established a bank in Chang'an, and set up branches in counties and states all over the world.The money bank is affiliated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you deposit money in the bank, you can get a money ticket that can be used to withdraw money in various branches.There are two types of bills, one is fixed denomination bills, fixed denominations are [-], [-], [-] and [-] bills, and the fixed denomination bills are made of mulberry paper; The other is that the honorable family deposits a certain amount of gold, silver or copper coins into the bank. This one is made of white buckskin, and the identity of the depositor and the deposited things are clearly written on it, including but not It is limited to gold, silver, copper coins, jade pendants, etc. When you come to pick it up, you need to show something that can prove your identity, such as an official seal or warrant.
Money tickets made of white deer leather are also called white deer tickets.
What Si Jianhong took out was the White Deer Ticket.
The second son of the King of Lu stared at the words "130 catties of gold deposited in the Duke's Mansion of the State of Lu" for a long while before slowly letting out a breath.When King Lu's mansion was the most prosperous, there was never so much gold in the treasury, which was equivalent to nearly half of the property before the mansion was confiscated.
"What is the meaning of Deng Guogong?" The second son of King Lu pushed the Bailu ticket back and asked, "Deng Guogong should know that the original treasury of the Jinan Prince's Mansion was confiscated, and the mansion couldn't produce so much gold to store it. Enter the bank."
Si Jianhong said: "So that Second Uncle can know that this money is half of the confiscated money from Jinan Palace."
"Which half is this?"
"The half that will be paid to the Hong family."
"Since it was paid to the Hong family, then you should keep it."
"But there is no one in the Hong family anymore, and there is no one with the surname Hong anymore." Si Jianhong said every word, and he pushed the white deer ticket back, and said in a deep voice: "Since there is no one with the surname Hong, Then there is no need to compensate these things. For me, a person surnamed Si, I have already got enough to make up for what I lost."
The second son of King Lu looked at him quietly, and the two looked at each other for a long time. He sighed and said, "Since you persist like this, thank you very much."
Si Jianhong also heaved a sigh of relief.
He returned these things back, and replaced it with a complete Lu State Duke's Mansion, so he should not owe anything anymore.
It's all over.
……
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was almost grey-haired. Ever since Hou Yan heard from the Empress Dowager that he wanted them to get married earlier, he came to visit the yamen of the Ministry of Rites when he had nothing to do.He didn't say much, but as soon as his eyes opened, the Minister of Rites knew what this person was going to say.
When is a good day?
how could I know!
I just set a date, if the Ministry of Industry can't finish the work, it's okay!Are you going to live in the palace? !
The Minister of Rites slandered viciously in his heart, feeling much happier, and began to pick auspicious days again.
It is customary for physiognomy masters to calculate once a month, and some senior gentlemen even calculate every ten days, waiting for someone to come to ask which day is auspicious and what is suitable for doing.If you calculate the whole year in one breath, you may have no food for this year, and it takes a lot of energy to do it, and you can't bear it if you calculate it in one breath.
The Ministry of Rites originally counted every ten days, and after the calculation was completed, it was pasted on the wall outside the yamen of the Ministry of Rites for the common people to use.
Originally, the Minister of Rites thought that the wedding date would be in November or December. There are more auspicious days near the root of the year, and they will not collide with some taboo days. In November and December, there are almost no nobles from the Tian family The birthday or death date is the most appropriate, and it saves effort to pick it up.As a result, the Empress Dowager asked to get married as soon as possible, how early would that be?
The eldest princess is more important than the prince, and getting married is a major event in the whole world. It must be celebrated by the whole world. September and October are in time for the autumn harvest, so it must not be possible.From June to August, the empress dowager passed away in May, the first emperor died in July, and some emperors or empresses died during this period.Just push it forward.
At the latest, it will be in May at the latest.
With the empress dowager's urging, the auspicious days of the zodiac will be counted again.
The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was sweating profusely, so he heard the report from the errand runner below: "Marquis Yan is here for tea again."
The left servant of the Ministry of Rites who was listening at the side suddenly seemed to be facing an enemy, and hurriedly said: "Shang Shu, there are still some things in the lower official's house, I need to go back early, and the lower official will deal with these matters early tomorrow!"
Without waiting for the Minister of Rites to reply, Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites immediately slipped away.
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites opened his mouth and said: "Shangshu, I just remembered..."
"No!" The Minister of Rites stared at him and said, "Hurry up and greet Marquis Yan!"
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites went away with a sad face, deeply hated that the left servant took the lead in finding an excuse to sneak home.
Although Yan Hou has a bad reputation, he still looks very kind, and his handsome and fair face adds a lot to this evaluation.Originally, Marquis Yan liked to run to the palace whenever he had nothing to do, and occasionally stayed in the Jinyang Palace. There was a gossip that Marquis Yan slept on the princess's bed at night.Gossip, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but based on the eldest princess’s way of thinking, the news must be false, but it doesn’t stop the spectators from being excited, and spending a copper coin to bet on the good things of the eldest princess and Marquis Yan to the end Is it done?
But I heard that the Empress Dowager often went to Jinyang Palace to visit the eldest princess recently, which forced Yan Hou to reduce the number of times he entered the palace, and he did not stay in Jinyang Palace anymore.In desperation, Marquis Yan had no choice but to come to the Ministry of Rites to urge him three times a day, hoping to get married as soon as possible, and sleep on the eldest princess's bed with confidence as soon as possible, without worrying about his mother-in-law's eyes like catching a thief.
But this is a pain for the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
No matter how handsome and good-looking Marquis Yan is, he is also a guy who kills without batting an eyelid. The weeds on the graves of the thieves who died in the Hedong case have just grown, so why don't they panic?Even if you are full of righteousness and are not afraid of Yanhou, when you are doing things, there is a guy with eyes like copper bells looking around, can you do things steadily?
Ghosts are down to earth!
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites scolded the left servant of the Ministry of Rites bitterly in his heart.
Straight girl thief!
Yan Hou sat in the reception room, touched a cup of hot tea, and sighed softly.
The rumors outside are true.
I don't know if it was because she was too complacent, which caused the noise of walking, or if someone in Jinyang Hall was double-faced.In short, when she stayed in the palace, she slept in the princess's bed, which was known by the Queen Mother Zhao.The Empress Dowager Zhao didn't say anything when she found out, she just called a few medical officers who were good at treating women from the Imperial Physician's Mansion to check the eldest princess' pulse. Empress Dowager Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.
It is still the case now, but it doesn't mean it will still be the future. If the gun goes off, it will be a big deal.Empress Dowager Zhao is someone who has experienced it, and knows what will happen when young people who like each other get together.
Therefore, Empress Dowager Zhao often came to Jinyang Hall to sit for a while, and Yan Zhaoge often entered the palace. hot tea,
The eldest princess had nothing to do about it.It is very normal for Queen Mother Zhao to be worried, she will be reviled by thousands of people if she commits an affair before marriage, if she is pregnant now, she will definitely not be able to hide from the eyes of the courtiers.But Yan Zhaoge is a daughter, not to mention not having sex with her yet, even if she sleeps with her for a year or so, it is impossible for her to have a child.
But Queen Mother Zhao didn't know, and it was impossible for her to know about this matter.So we can only keep this misunderstanding silently.
Yan Zhaoge sat in the Jinyang Palace for a few days, but couldn't resist the eyes of the Empress Dowager Zhao, so he simply refused to enter the palace.Not entering the palace and having nothing to do, the Jinyiwei below had the hope of being promoted to a noble, and they all worked hard, wishing to spend twelve hours on errands, which resulted in her, the commander of the Jinyiwei, having nothing to do.
She thought for a while, why don't she just come to the yamen of the Ministry of Rites and sit down, and she doesn't plan to sit for too long, just sit until the day when the wedding date is set.
As for why not go to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry, because there is no one in the Ministry of Industry.
The yamen of the Ministry of Industry has now become a decoration, and only a few small officials who take turns to work are sitting there.The Ministry of Industry took part of the staff to supervise the construction of the embankment in Hedong, and the rest were in Chang'an. They were very busy. Cai Guogong's mansion, Mao Guogong's mansion, and Princess Changgong's mansion were all to be built. I wished that one person had eight hands.The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry who supervised the construction had lost a lot of weight visible to the naked eye, and his chin was out of shape. Yan Zhaoge was really embarrassed to bother him.
So I came to bother the seemingly relaxed Minister of Rites.
If Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites found out, he would risk his life to fight her.
Yan Zhaoge sighed again while drinking hot tea.
The right servant of the Ministry of Rites bit the bullet and came to greet her, and before saying a few words, he heard the voice of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
The voice was so penetrating that it could be heard in the ears across most of the yard.
"Okay! Then the first day of April! Exactly!"
