Chapter 144 Official
Bullying As long as the favors in the harem do not involve the interests of the previous dynasty, they will not cause any big waves.
But this time, after the emperor favored Concubine Zhen, he not only promoted Concubine Zhen's father to a third-rank official, but also made Jiang Yanxi, who indirectly caused the downfall of Prime Minister Song, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple. Isn't this too partial?
Among them, Wang Honglu had the most intense reaction.
When Honglu Temple Zheng retired and returned to his hometown, he was recommended by Fengtian Prefecture to take over the position of Temple Zheng. He only needed to wait for the officials in Fengtian Prefecture in charge of assessment to come and go through the formalities, and he could officially take office.
As a result, because he had a good daughter, the emperor directly appointed Jiang Yankun as Temple Zheng.
The two have been the left and right Shaoqing for many years, and they have always been enemies. When Jiang Yankun's daughter was not in the palace, they often quarreled and their relationship was like fire and water.
As a result, her daughter entered the palace and was spoiled. The two were no longer on the same level. Even the old temple chief had to please him.
He finally got rid of Jiang Yankun, and Honglu Temple was his world. The emperor sent him another member of the Jiang family, who was even more difficult to deal with than Jiang Yankun. He dared to report his boss. How could he live in the future?
How many eyes will be staring at Honglu Temple in the future?
The most terrifying pair is staring at him!
"Your Majesty, the official positions in the Honglu Temple are all assessed by the Fengtian Prefecture and then promoted step by step. Jiang Yanxi was originally just a teacher of the prefect of Chenzhou, a petty official even lower than a small official. How can he take on such an important task?"
The emperor sat on the dragon chair without raising his eyes: "Special talents will naturally be treated specially. Jiang Shaoqing is not afraid of power and will report illegal and disorderly things at the risk of his life. Just for this reason, he can take on such an important task. Besides, Jiang Aiqing is still here, and Jiang Aiqing knows the procedures of the Honglu Temple very well. After all, he was once the boss of Wang Honglu, right?"
It means that if Jiang Yanxi doesn't understand something, he will naturally ask Jiang Yankun for advice. Even if he is not familiar with the procedures, he will not let him worry, and warn him not to sing a different tune again.
After the court was dismissed, only Minister Jiang of the Ministry of Personnel and several officials from the Ministry of Justice walked with Jiang Yankun, while the others walked in twos and threes in a circle, looking as if they were deliberately crowding out Jiang Yankun.
"Ha!"
"Childish!"
Jiang Xinyue held her chin up, not hiding her speechless feelings in front of Emperor Xuanwu: "They are already in their teens, and they are still bullying in the officialdom. They are really too immature."
Emperor Xuanwu laughed: "I also think they are extremely childish. They all think that I favor you and that's why I arranged for your uncle to be the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. But what I like about him is that he dares to The courage to expose the darkness of officialdom. Honglu Temple is a very lucrative place. Envoys from various countries pay tribute and the court returns gifts. Honglu Temple can make a fortune with just a little effort. Although I favor you for one reason, I really need someone like Jiang Yanxi to help me keep an eye on Wang Honglu. "
The money in his treasury can support the army and the people, but not the greedy parasites. For
this point, Jiang Xinyue still admired Emperor Xuanwu very much. He loved his people and the country.
"Hiss--"
The little guy in the stomach was dishonest and kicked Jiang Xinyue above the pubic bone, causing him to gasp in pain.
Emperor Xuanwu immediately put his hand on her belly: "Little Six, be good and be gentle. Your mother is the apple of your father's eye. If you kick her, he will spank you."
As he spoke, he patted her bulging belly twice.
It's true, perhaps because of the father-son bond, the boy's movements were really gentle, which made Jiang Xinyue exclaimed that it was magical.
Although she had a boyfriend in the later life, the two of them were only limited to holding hands. As for that aspect... Emperor Xuanwu was her first man.
Alas... What a pity!
If I had known earlier, I should have slept with her fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged, abstinent boyfriend when we were in love.
Why be a pure love god of war?
You should be a pure flesh god of war.
"Your Highness...Your Highness?"
She came back to her senses after hearing several calls. She looked up and saw Fang Rumeng, who had been promoted to Fang Dianyi, holding a gorgeous palace dress and smiling at her: "Your Highness Zhenpin, this is the dress that the Emperor asked the Clothing Office to make for you a month ago."
The female worker from the Clothing Office followed and unfolded the dress. The gorgeous satin was glittering and colorful. Any woman who saw it would be unable to take her eyes off it.
Fang Rumeng and the female workers all wore silk gloves, for fear that the old silk on their fingers would scratch the expensive dress if they were not careful.
"Your Highness, this is violet satin, the most precious and rare dust cloth in the palace. It is made of brocade, silk, gold thread, beads, etc. The whole cloth is composed of colorful satin patterns, which flow slowly and shine like tiny pearls. The dozen or so embroiderers in the clothing room spent a month embroidering the climbing branches on the clothes on both sides. Each of the trumpet creepers on the dress is a relief work, and is lifelike. Under the light, it gives the illusion of morning dew dripping. Your Majesty has the only one like this in the entire harem. "
The preciousness of this dress is not just the dress itself, but the embodiment of the superb skills of so many embroiderers who work day and night without sleep, and it is a manifestation of the emperor's favor for Concubine Zhen.
Most importantly, the emperor also made a similar one, but it is much more low-key and simple, but the color is the same.
Whenever the emperor and Concubine Zhen stand together wearing this dress, the trumpet creepers on Concubine Zhen and the trumpet creepers on the emperor will overlap, and it looks like two people are entangled by the branches of flowers.
You are in me, I am in you, entangled.
However, the Emperor did not allow them to tell Concubine Zhen now, saying that he wanted to give the Concubine a surprise at the New Year's Banquet.
Jiang Xinyue has always been Fang Rumeng's supporter. Fang Rumeng is of course happier than anyone else when she is favored.
But now Emperor Xuanwu is watching, so she cannot show it too obviously. She can only quietly speak well of Emperor Xuanwu.
"Concubine Zhen's beauty is unparalleled in the world, and she is paired with Luo Ba, which really complements each other."
It was the clothes that made Concubine Zhen so beautiful, and it was also the stunningly beautiful Concubine Zhen who was destined to make Luo Ba popular in the entire harem on the day of the New Year's Banquet, and become a rare fabric that the ladies in the harem scrambled for.
Considering that Jiang Xinyue was still pregnant, Fang Rumeng moved the slit on the side of the dress up a little and made a few pleats at the bottom to make it more accommodating.
The smart design made Jiang Xinyue look more like an elf or a fairy.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. I like it very much."
Jiang Xinyue held the dress in her hand, stood in front of the mirror and gestured for a long time. After letting Xi Que put the clothes away, she said, "Your Majesty, I have kept the embroiderers in the clothing room busy for so long to make a single piece of clothing. Your Majesty must reward them and Fang Dianyi... I also like the patterns she drew very much. They are so attentive, we cannot let them down."
Otherwise, who would be willing to work for her in the future?
