Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

Chapter 382

At the beginning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, the Great Court will come as scheduled.In the affairs of Yushitai and the Ministry of Officials, they strictly stared at the officials who should go to court that day.Those who dare to be late will definitely be recorded in the test book, and when they are promoted, this dark history will be revealed.Then the censor will publicize your popularity in front of the sages and the civil and military forces of the Manchu dynasty; those who dare to sleepy and take a nap will be impeached by the censor for disrespect, and they will be mentioned in the hall to show their faces of.If you want to get away with not getting caught, go dreaming

What if you dare to be absent?

——So far, as long as there are courtiers who can get up, no one has missed the court meeting on the first day of the new year.

The sage simply looked into the future, and then departed.Leave it for civil and military officials to go back to their respective yamen to catch up on sleep, no, leave it for everyone to pay New Year greetings and greet each other.

The start of political affairs will be after the Shangyuan Festival.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, the prince went to Huangzhuang several times to see Dai Zi's work progress.The sage had already pardoned Dai Zi's sins years ago, and gave him a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Industry.Now Dai Zi brings his two sons, and several firearm-loving chiefs from the Ministry of Industry, together with some skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry, in addition to imitating artillery of various calibers bought from Macau, they are doing their best to develop Mortar.

At the beginning, the prince liked these ordnance very much, and he went to the shooting range when he had time to vent his anger.At that time, his favorite was the ak-47, but unfortunately, with the current technology, it was far behind.However, if Dai Zi's 24 bursts continue to develop, it may not be worse than AK-47.

The prince and Dai Zi briefly said a few words about mortar.Remind him of the key points of using the base plate to withstand the recoil force, and the use of finned shells to balance the flight trajectory after exiting the chamber, etc.Dai Zi is an arms expert who is ahead of his time. He created the prototype of the mortar just based on the prince's plausible sketches and general description.

Due to the freezing of the river in winter, the water reel in Huangzhuang has been suspended. When the prince returned to the palace, he talked about it with the saint.

"Father, there are many places in the south where there is no ice all year round. Can you move the parts that require more hydraulic power, such as stamping the barrel, iron forging, etc., to the south? After they are done, they will be shipped back for assembly. Five rivers, in winter, can’t use water reels, the efficiency is too low.”

The sage thought about it, and felt that the prince's proposal was very good. He called Guo Shangshu, Wu Shilang, and Song Shilang from the Ministry of Industry to discuss the prince's proposal. After a few people discussed it, they thought it was feasible and immediately decided on it.

And the prince turned around and devoted himself to the training of civil servants and military officers, just as nervous and busy as before.The sage looked at such a busy son, and while he was grateful that he had someone to share with him, he was also annoyed that he hadn't paid enough attention to the second prince in the past, which made the second prince go astray with Concubine Hui.

Sorry for the first time!

So the remaining three, four, five, six, and seven princes were suddenly given a more intensive ideological education course on loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, which was similar to the brainwashing training for generals.Before the princes could be freed from the confusion, the saint sent two personal servants beside each of them, both of whom were under Mo Jiu's subordinates.Even when meeting with his mother and concubine, the two servants also followed closely.

Concubine De and Concubine Hui first realized that it was the sage who was guarding against themselves, lest they and their son say something they should not say.Someone wanted to bribe this servant, but unexpectedly found that this servant was rotated irregularly.The two immediately withdrew their idea of ​​trying to bribe the servant, and every day their son came to pay his respects, they could only say something that could be said in a big way.

The sage not only sent servants to the prince, but also selected safe and reliable people around the princesses.Especially around the eldest princess, the queen mother is also watching closely now, the Zheng family will rely on the eldest princess to live in the future.Don't take advantage of the eldest princess's arrival and teach it well, and I will worry about it in the future.

Concubine Zhen, on the other hand, happily waited for her son to come to Changchun Palace to pay her respects every day, just like a loving mother.

As for who in the palace has the most bitter heart, there is no one else except Concubine Zhen.The Seventh Prince's domineering, although it has something to do with her monopolizing the favor of the saint before.But bullying the fourth prince really learned from the sixth prince.In the final analysis, when the sixth prince started to be mischievous, it was the second prince who kicked the fourth prince down.For the latter few, they have demonstrated that bullying the fourth prince will not be punished.

Now, even though she was grounded the same as Concubine De and Concubine Xian, when calculated carefully, her loss is still greater.The concubine is gone; moved to the Changchun Palace and the head is gone; the daughter has died again.The saddest thing is that the saint no longer calls her.I don't know when I have to wait until the sage will release his confinement.I heard that one of the most frequently summoned by the sage is the eldest daughter of the Wang family.

When Concubine Zhen received a letter from her family last year, asking herself to speak in front of the Holy House, she was unwilling to ask for a marriage offer for the daughter of the Wang family.But this matter, since he entered the palace, the only thing that his family handed over to him has to be done by himself.So, no matter how unwilling Concubine Zhen was, she felt that this matter was too contrary to her grandmother's teachings, so she still insisted on doing it herself.

She waited for the candidates to enter the palace, and delayed until the draft was almost over before recruiting people to come to the Changchun Palace to show that the Zhen family had received a request for help from their old relatives.As for the latter, asking the sage for a marriage or something, that's Concubine Zhen's plan.Therefore, this meeting gave the Zhen family an excuse to prevaricate.

But when she met Wang's daughter, she immediately made a decision that she must promote Wang's daughter's marriage.Otherwise, if this person enters the palace, he will compete with him for favor.

A sage would like a woman like Wang's daughter—young, beautiful, energetic, and from a great family.

But it never occurred to her that the Queen Mother would confer nobles on all the people she likes in advance.

Nowadays, Concubine Zhen often thinks sadly in her heart that when Wang's daughter becomes pregnant, she will definitely become a concubine.If he had been a nobleman when he first entered the palace, he would have achieved the position of concubine long ago.

If Wang's daughter can give birth to a son, will she still be named concubine in advance?Do you want to make friends with Wang's daughter?Maybe if she said a few words in front of the sage, would the sage believe that it was the sixth prince who corrupted the seventh prince?

Now the sage is completely in the Changchun Palace, and the few nobles newly assigned by the palace also have complaints about him.I blamed myself for being tired of them, so I couldn't face the Holy Spirit.I can't blame it!When I was in Changchun Palace, Concubine Hui was lowered from Concubine Shu, and then was grounded at the same time, which did not affect the sage's love for me.

Some idiots who can't do it by themselves and don't want to find a way to solve it!

The saint didn't come to Changchun Palace, but he didn't ground you, why don't you go and wait near the Empress Dowager's Ci'an Palace.It's freezing cold, when the saint passed by, he looked at you nobles and often knelt on one side, how could he not understand your thoughts?

How could he be summoned once and a half times?

It has not been half a year since these nobles lived in the Changchun Palace, and Concubine Zhen labeled them stupid, stupid, and unworthy of entering the palace.

As for the Seventh Prince, Concubine Zhen remained the same, gentle and gentle, and only told him to study hard and listen to the saint.On the contrary, Concubine Zhen was grateful for the servant sent by the sage to follow her son every step of the way.If the sage had done the same thing early and sent someone to the eldest princess, wouldn't the East Palace not have a false alarm?Will my little daughter not die in the "out of flowers"!

The different reactions of the three were quickly passed back to the saint.By the time Concubine De and Concubine Xian figured it out, and Concubine Zhen had solved the reason for the confinement first, Concubine Zhen had almost recovered her status as the favorite concubine in front of Shengqian.

Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, the earth rejuvenated, and it was spring plowing time.

Every year after spring plowing and offering sacrifices to heaven, the sages will help the plow to plow the fields to show the importance they attach to farming.Moreover, the saint will go to Huangzhuang in person to show a few demonstrations of plowing.This year's spring plowing sacrifice to the heaven show is over, and the rest will go to the show in Huangzhuang. The sage ordered the prince to replace him.Of course, some civil and military officials, as well as internal servants, bodyguards, and servants brought by the officials will follow in batches.

This year, those who follow the prince are the civil servants who are going to be dispatched during the training and assessment period.

Early in the morning, the prince arrived at Qianqing Palace.He took advantage of the time before breakfast to talk to the saint about his plans.

"Father, my son doesn't want to go to those Huangzhuang for spring farming."

"Then where do you want to go?"

After reflecting on his son for half a month, the sage put away the little thoughts in the corner of his heart that could not be seen.He gave a little more trust to his upright son.

"Father, my son thought, anyway, when he left the palace, he brought all the things for plowing with him. There are farmhouses all around the capital, east, west, north, south, and my father will point out a direction, and my son will take people there. If you meet The ninth family’s field is their own field, and the son-in-law will help plow the field in the past.”

My son has a new idea, which sounds better than going to Huangzhuang to set an example.

"All arrangements have been made at Huangzhuang. You have changed, and the guards have to be rearranged. There are also roads, those roads in the farmland, which are different from those in the palace."

"Father, the world is peaceful now, and there are so many people following. Besides, with you and the little suckling pig in the palace, it is safe for my son to go out. Since I went out to demonstrate farming and mulberry, the effect in the farm field may be better than in Huangzhuang. "

"Alright."

The sage was moved by the prince, "Where do you want to farm?"

"My son is waiting for my father to guide me in the direction.

"

The prince's reply made the sage feel very ironed.He looked at such a son, and thought of joking in his heart.

"Call Liang Jiu to come in later. If he crosses the threshold with his left foot, he will go in the north-south direction, otherwise he will go in the east-west direction."

"Father, north and south, east and west, one person can't go in two directions, and my son and minister can't make two virtuous people."

The sage laughed loudly, and sent the little servant to call Liang Jiu, telling him to prepare breakfast quickly, the prince will leave the palace soon.

When Liang Jiu brought people in, it happened that his left foot stepped in first. After setting it up, the saint told Liang Jiu, "Go and get the bamboo hat I prepared for the prince yesterday."

Liang Jiu was slightly stunned. Isn't this something given to the prince's entourage, so it's fine to take it with you?But when the sage spoke, Liang Jiu immediately followed suit.

When he came back, the saint and his son had almost eaten.According to Liang Jiu's habit, he still crossed the threshold with his left foot first.

The sage put down his chopsticks, smiled and said to the prince, "Go south."

"Okay." The prince put down the chopsticks with the saint, stood up, and saluted the saint.

"Liang Jiu, you accompany the prince there, you have to be careful all the way. We won't go to Huangzhuang today, you take the prince to the south, after leaving the city, if the ninth farm you see is their own field, You are plowing there today."

Hey, this is new!
