Chapter 211 Corruption
The green plum of the forehead is Atu, the younger sister of Minister Guangcheng of the Ministry of War.Atu had fallen in love with his son-in-law a long time ago, and before the two families had time to discuss marriage, the superior ordered a marriage.

In the Xia Dynasty, the foreheads were all useless titles. If they became foreheads, their official careers would be cut off. Since they were foreheads, they would not be able to do business. The salary of the imperial court depends on the princess's appreciation of the land to live.

Now that the son-in-law has turned against the princess, how can the little salary these years be enough to support Qingmei and her family.

The life of the son-in-law and Atu is getting more and more difficult. Although you are full of water and water, you will have to support the house and servants.Guangcheng is such a girl, she ran away with her son-in-law without a name or title, and now life is very pitiful, her teeth itch with hatred, but there is really nothing she can do, so when Ah Tu came to the door, he felt sad when he saw the clothes.The sisters of the same mother and compatriots grew up on their shoulders when they were young, and now they have come to such a fate, hate it, and they have to find a way for them.

Then let the forehead go to the next to handle the salary and military supplies.This position is half public and half business, even if people say it, it is not illegal.

The forehead got this fat job, and within two years, it became rich.Also, she doesn't take the princess seriously, sometimes she doesn't show up at the banquet in the palace, and she doesn't even go through the cutscenes, completely trampling on the princess's face.

The eldest princess hates her heart bleeding, she used to refuse to do things to the extreme, and she kept some face for each other, but now there is a baby there, and the life is so hot, facing the cold wall of the princess mansion, she finally became cruel.

After all, the eldest princess grew up in the palace, and she could find someone to help her in whatever she wanted to do. She knew the weakness of her brother-in-law best, so she easily got the evidence of her embarrassment.

Last year, at the end of the year, someone went to sell cotton to the forehead.

The business was done, but a lot of willow cotton was caught in the cotton.What is willow cotton? It's the fluff that floats down from the willow tree.This thing looks similar to cotton, but it is not cold resistant at all, and it will pass through when the wind blows.The reason why the forehead opened his eyes and closed his eyes and reluctantly accepted it was because he had gained too much this time.

As soon as the war in the northern border started, the new winter clothes were also sent. The spring in the northern border came late, and it was still freezing and snowy during the battle. These winter clothes were a pain for the frontline soldiers.

The eldest princess arranged the manpower in advance, and made troubles in the first place, and there was almost no mutiny.

The general leading the army from the Wulianghai Department was the nephew of Concubine Hui's natal family.The emperor was furious, because the Ministry of War was under the jurisdiction of Prince Yi, and after being severely scolded by the emperor, he came back to conduct a strict investigation.

The military uniforms were faked, and a large number of them were paid for nothing. Calculated over the years, only Guangcheng and his son-in-law fell into the pockets of no less than a few 10 taels of silver.There was an uproar in the court, coupled with the stalemate in the war in the northern border, the criticism of the Ministry of War became more and more serious.

The emperor took advantage of this incident to make trouble for Prince Yi, severely reprimanded him, and fined him a year's salary, almost depriving him of his marriage certificate.In the end, the reason why he was not demoted was because of Doni.

Doni has long coveted the Ministry of War. If Guanglu is not used to restrain Doni, and Doni gains military power, the world will really belong to their family.

The emperor ordered Guanglu to investigate in person, and he had to investigate clearly and give an explanation to the soldiers in front.

Early this morning, Guanglu brought people into the princess mansion.

Chang Shi, who was sent before, didn't even enter the door of the princess mansion, and was kicked out.The eldest princess has a big temper, even the emperor can't do anything about her easily.Two or three times like this, Guanglu had to visit the door in person.

As soon as he arrived, the housekeeper immediately greeted him and led him into the mansion respectfully.

The princess did not meet him in the main hall, but invited him to the West Flower Hall alone.

Guanglu came in through the curtain and saw the princess sitting in the morning light. The princess in her 20s should be the most healthy age, but she was thin and lifeless, like a reed in winter, with a dry face and a sharp face.

"Sister Huang," Guanglu called out, feeling quite uncomfortable.

He is not close to the eldest princess, he was born and raised in front of the late emperor, he was enlightened early, reading and archery took up most of his time.After the eldest princess got married, she heard bad news, but she never complained to him and the emperor.

The eldest princess turned to look at him, "Second brother, are you here so early?"

While making tea for him to drink.There was a long tea table in front of her, and she was skillfully washing tea and making cups for him, as if she had been waiting for him for a long time.

Guang Lu said uncomfortably, "Sister Huang, I came here for..."

"The person you are looking for is not in the Princess Mansion." The Eldest Princess said without raising her eyes, "Drink tea first. Are you ready for breakfast?"

Seeing Guanglu nod his head, he knew that his work and rest were very regular. He must have practiced boxing and kicking when he got up early, and he went out after eating and washing.

"This is good, this tea is strong, I'm afraid you will be drunk with tea."

After drinking a round of tea, Guanglu sat close, saw that the eldest princess had several crow's feet in the corners of her eyes, and said, "Life is my own, and now the world is stable, so why bother yourself?"

The eldest princess went to boil water again, added tea, washed the tea and made the cups. She naturally knew what Guanglu meant.

There is not only one man in this world, why bother to hang himself on the forehead tree.In the past dynasties, the relationship between the princess and the concubine was not good, and they found one outside by themselves. As long as it was not too much, the world would not say anything.

What's more, this time the forehead has gone too far.

Hearing the sound of tea cups clinking lightly, the eldest princess said bitterly, "I am the eldest princess of Daxia. I can't do it if I only care about my own happiness and let the late emperor and Ernie be ashamed underground."

Guanglu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect his sister to value the nobility of reputation so much.For the dignity of the royal family, he would rather wither and die than keep his boudoir empty.

I couldn't help but feel a little respect in my heart.These years have been so difficult, and the eldest princess has never complained in front of people. It is said that when she found out that the forehead had an outside room, she went to the palace to file a complaint with the emperor, and the forehead would not be as arrogant later.

"You must think that my sister is useless?" The eldest princess gave way to Guanglu, served tea first, and sighed, "At the beginning, Huang Ama paved the way for you to inherit the world, but later, why didn't you fight for it?" Woolen cloth?"

Guanglu was amazed by the princess's outspokenness, and few people dared to mention that part of the past.

"We were born in the royal family, and we have responsibilities on our shoulders. We are not ordinary people fighting for family property. If you make a fuss, you have more and he has less. Just make trouble for yourself."

Guanglu was silent after hearing this.

The eldest princess watched a sparrow on the poplar tree catch insects and eat it from the branch window, and when it was in her mouth, she turned around and said, "So, if you want to take Guangcheng this time, I will give up my forehead to help you."

There was a slight embarrassment on Guanglu's face, it turned out that the eldest princess knew everything.

Guangcheng, Minister of the Ministry of War, actually never listened to him.A long time ago, Guangcheng had devoted himself to Doni's sect, but he did it in secret, so as not to let outsiders know.
