After the Gu of the Red Chamber

Concubine Chen was furious, "How did Xiaohong do things? Why didn't she guard against it?"

The fourth concubine has been silent for many years since the loss of her son. Of course, there is Chen side concubine's handwriting. I don't know how many people in the fourth concubine's room were inserted by her. Over the years, she has given the fourth concubine something to eat. The food that hinders pregnancy has been successfully prevented in the past few years, so how come it has not been prevented this year?

Mother Chen sighed a long time. Because of the Prince's debt collection, she had a very tense fight with Mrs. Li, so Xiaohong stopped messing with Mrs. Li's food. Unexpectedly, Xiaohong just missed it once, and even Let the fourth concubine have it!

"Xiao Hong can't stay with this girl." Concubine Chen said coldly, "Have someone let her and her mother out directly, I can't afford to use such a careless girl."

"Yes." Nanny Chen answered without even frowning. The empress did not take Xiaohong's life directly, which was considered kind.

Concubine Chen's heart moved, she suddenly smiled coquettishly and said: "Speaking of which, Li's birth is considered to be in the filial piety period."

Father Li has just passed by, so he can't justify it.

Nanny Chen was taken aback, and subconsciously replied: "Yes, but..."

However, there has never been a saying of keeping filial piety in this palace, and the birth of the fourth concubine seems to be not wrong.

Concubine Chen raised her brows slightly, "The Great Jin Dynasty established the country with filial piety, and as a concubine, you should lead by example. Mrs. Li herself did not keep filial piety, and she ruined the prince's reputation."

Nanny Chen understood, and said with a smile, "I understand."

If Mrs. Li wanted to be ashamed, she would naturally understand that the child was not worth it. Even if she wanted it, the crown prince would have shot first if such a big hat was pressed down.

The master and the servant were whispering, but they didn't notice that the stupid people in the inner room poked their heads out to eavesdrop.

Tu Xun's little face turned pale with fright, it turned out that his father and king ignored him because the concubine's concubine had a younger brother in her belly!

He hated his younger brother, and what he hated even more was the younger brother born to the concubine's concubine, but he didn't expect that the little brother in the concubine's belly would ruin his father's reputation.

Filial piety to give birth!Even he knew how ugly it would be if it got out.

Tu Xun's eyes dimmed, the younger brother in the womb of the concubine... shouldn't have come.

Chen Shi and Nanny Chen discussed for most of the night, and after confirming that the rumor would be spread and no one would notice them, they were relieved.

It's no wonder they are nervous about the child in Li's womb as if they are facing a big enemy. Don't look at them usually boasting about Brother Pun as if there is nothing under heaven, in fact, among the emperor's grandchildren, Brother Pun is really too simple , It really doesn't look like the son of a prince.

Of course, there is no way to do this, after all, the prince has only one child under his knees, Brother Pun, so it is naturally a little bit precious.

At first, everyone didn't take it seriously, and wanted to say that when the child grows up, he will naturally become sensible, but after Tu Lei appeared, he immediately compared the emperor's grandson to a scum.

Although Tu Lei was raised outside, he was not even regarded as a decent emperor, but because of this, people noticed him more and more. Unlike other princes and grandchildren who usually do things with their hands tied, Tu Lei really does whatever he wants.

Generally, princes and grandsons are most taboo to participate in political affairs, especially those that benefit the people, for fear that they will have the reputation of buying people's hearts, but Tu Lei is not taboo at all, and he does what he has to do, like Wang Ziteng this time except the Beirong royal family In addition, many soldiers of the Northern Army were captured.

Even if Wang Ziteng killed a lot in private, there are quite a few remaining Beirong soldiers. Da Jinsu claimed that he was a state of etiquette, so it was naturally not easy to do such a thing.

However, if so many Beirong soldiers were released, they would surely become a confidant of the Jin Dynasty in a few years, so they could not be released, but how to arrange these Beirong soldiers has really become a big problem.

Just when Emperor Pingkang was having a headache, Qin Ye came up with a decree, suggesting that these Beibei soldiers be broken up into pieces and sent directly to mining to do hard work, and a 15-year agreement was made. If these Beibei soldiers dig in the mine After 15 years of working in the mine, they will be sent back to their hometowns to reduce the resistance of the northern soldiers.

You know, the mines in the Jin Dynasty were very short of people. After all, the mines would collapse every now and then. As the days go by, miners tend to have a lot of problems, so most of the miners can hardly live past fifty.

Sending this group of Beirong soldiers to dig mines, on the one hand, consumes their physical strength, so as to save these Beirong soldiers from thinking about what they have, and on the other hand, it also eliminates the number of Beirong soldiers by the way.

A few years later, most of these Beirong soldiers died. Even if they did not die, the bones of their bodies would be worn out after 15 years of mine digging.

As the clerk of Qin Ye's Ministry of Industry, it is reasonable to put forward this suggestion, but Emperor Pingkang knew that this was definitely not Qin Ye's own idea. If Qin Ye had this ability early in the morning, he would not The Ministry of Industry has wasted so many years.

Emperor Pingkang asked someone to check, and it turned out that the suggestion came from Tu Lei.

Originally, it was nothing to send Beirong soldiers to the mine, and some people made similar proposals, but what about a 15-year period, so as to reduce the resistance of the Beirong people... so, almost no one thought of this .

From a small point of view, although Tu Lei is a child, his thoughtfulness is even higher than that of many adults.

The matter of Beirong is nothing more than that. I don’t know why. This year’s winter is colder than usual, and the snow is heavier than before. The heavy snow has crushed many houses. This kind of thing happened in previous years. Most of the big families in Beijing donated materials to help those suffering victims tide over the difficulties.

But this time, due to the debt collection by the prince, many aristocratic families are poor and cannot protect themselves, so there is still a way to help others. In this way, the life of the victims is even more difficult.

When these days are hard, there are a lot of robberies. Everyone would rather commit a small crime and eat in prison. powerful.

As a result, Yin Tianfu was really exhausted. Although it was not a major crime, there were many minor crimes. For a long time, the prison of Yingtian Mansion was almost full of people.

It was Tu Lei who made another suggestion through Qin Ye, suggesting that the victims should be allowed to dig shelters directly to avoid the cold. As for the food, the government would open warehouses to distribute food, so that these people can use their labor instead of living.

These points are nothing special. Diwozi is rare in the capital, but it is not uncommon in the northeast area. Many ministers who have lived in the north have thought of Diwozi, even Wang Ziteng. The ground nest is gone, so it can be seen that this is really nothing.

As for the method of replacing vibration with work, it is a common method. Generally speaking, the replacement of vibration with work is mostly after a year. But just a few pennies a day means that you have to prepare your own food, and you have to rely on shake labor to pay off the food in full, and you don't know how long it will take.

Furthermore, forced labor is hard and dangerous, and everyone knows that life and death are unpredictable, and most people are really unwilling to do it unless they have to do it.

However, under the circumstances, this is also an out-of-the-way solution.

However, Tu Lei came up with something new. He proposed replacing labor with work, but what he was doing was not a labor service, but another job—building a kiln and firing bricks.

Tu Lei looked farther than others. After the heavy snowfall, many houses collapsed, and naturally they had to be rebuilt. Now, there will definitely be a large demand for bricks and tiles at that time. If you don't take advantage of this time to organize people to burn bricks by hand, let alone when.

Burning bricks doesn't require much skill, and the fire is assisted by veterans from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. This group of people is just a helper, doing rough work, but even so, the victims of the disaster are happy to do it.

You must know that the money for helping bricklaying is much higher than the money for shaking hands, and when you are busy, everyone will not think about it, but feel that there is hope for this day.

As for the fired bricks, there is no need to worry about anyone wanting them. Many people know that the person who is actually in charge of burning bricks is from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He usually helps the emperor to burn bricks. Now he is helping the victims find a way out. The bricks are fired, and now, there are quite a lot of people who come to order bricks.

You know, what a glorious thing it is to be able to use the things used by the emperor Lao Tzu. Even if it is a brick, it is worth writing about. Some people estimate that this brick may not be fired until the middle of the next year.

Although these few incidents are small, it can be seen that the child Tu Lei has a meticulous mind, and he really has some ability. If Emperor Pingkang was only [-] points off the mark before, now he is [-]% off the mark. .

After all, the inheritance of the throne is not only about the prince, but also the grandson of the emperor. In comparison, the grandson of the emperor is really lackluster.

At the same age, Tu Lei is already able to help with some things, but the grandson of the emperor still only cares about eating, drinking and having fun. He can't even memorize a book of Analects, let alone compare with Tu Lei, even the abolished prince The two bastards are not as good.

Even though the two concubine sons of the abolished prince have been locked up in Yuqing Palace, they are taught by the abolished prince himself, no worse than those grand masters in the study.

I heard that on the birthday of the abolished prince, the eldest son of the aborted prince wrote a letter of [-] years of life to the abolished prince. Although there are not as many as one hundred different birthday characters, there are more than twenty Knowing different longevity characters is not a bad skill for a teenager.

As for the congratulatory gift from another concubine's second son, it was also very ingenious. It was a portrait of the abandoned prince and the princess concubine, using Western oil painting techniques. Although the painting was immature, Emperor Pingkang took a few glances at it. It is well-organized and has a bit of structure, which is extremely rare.

Whether it is the concubine son of the abolished prince or the son of the concubine, they are all outstanding. In comparison, Tu Xun is really lackluster. What's worse, Tu Mingyu discovered that he has no other sons!

The three sons of the abolished prince were picked out, one more powerful than the other, even the one born to Liu Guifei was also a tiger-headed tiger-headed one, who wouldn't boast that he was cute, as for him...

Looking at the single seedling under his knees, even the crown prince became a little anxious.

Even if he looks down on Mrs. Li, he also understands that after all, Mrs. Li is the concubine personally pointed out to him by his father. The sons of the crown prince are all good, but none of them are descendants. If Mrs. Li can give birth to a son, it is worth it He has had several concubine sons, and he also remembered that Brother Huan, born to the Li family, was considered extremely intelligent, but it was a pity that his health was not good, so he passed away early.

Coupled with the matter of the Li family, the prince also felt a little guilty, so Tu Mingyu went to Li's house more times, and he never expected that he would not be able to get it when he wanted it before, but this time It unexpectedly took root.

Not only did the people in Li's room know about Li's not changing the laundry for a month, but even Tu Mingyu knew about it. Now, the people on the third floor and the outer three floors also protected the inside of Li's room. No matter what you say, nothing will happen to the child in Li's stomach.

Not only the servants in Mrs. Li's room walked with wind, but even Mrs. Li, who was originally sad, had a smile on her face.

Nanny Li couldn't help wiping away tears and said, "Your Majesty is overjoyed!"

With the little master, they finally came to the end of their hardships.

"I never thought of it." Li pressed her stomach, and couldn't believe it.

She never got what she wanted, and just when she was desperate, the child came.

Li Nanny said happily: "With a young master, I can see how Mrs. Chen can still show off his might in front of us!"

Speaking of this, Li Shi was also a little worried, "Nurse...I'm really afraid...I won't be able to protect the child."

She felt uncomfortable when the child was gone, and she was a little scared when the child came. She had nothing but the title of the fourth concubine. Besides the dowry, she doesn't even have any manpower, so how can she protect the flesh and blood in her belly?

Back then, she couldn't protect brother Hou, but now...she's afraid that she can't even protect the little brother in her stomach.If she was to suffer the pain of bereavement again, it would be better to let her die.

Nanny Li also sighed helplessly, the prince seems to be paying attention now, but it will take several years to bring up a child, for such a long period of time, they really dare not say whether they can protect the child.

Nanny Li pondered slightly, "Madam, why don't I go back and discuss with the old man."

"My father!?" Li smirked bitterly, "Now that things have happened, will my father still talk to me?"

Nanny Li smiled confidently: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after all, they are both father and daughter. Besides, there is a little emperor's grandson in your womb, and the old man will not ignore it."

The prince's debt collection is a bit harsh, but this is also the law of the country. What's the matter with Mrs. Guan?Besides, the empress did her best to help, and all the dowry was sold out, just to help the Li family pay off the debts. I think the old lady will understand.

What's more, the empress is pregnant with the little grandson, if the little grandson is born and grows up safely, and inherits the throne, the Li family can follow in the future, and maybe even more prestigious than the prince Tengwang. will not understand.

Mrs. Li pondered for a while, and finally nodded, "Go back to my parents and talk to them well..."

Both Mrs. Li and Nanny Li were rejoicing for the better days in the future, but Nanny Li never expected that when she went back this time, she unexpectedly learned that the Li family had already been destroyed...
