son-in-law

Chapter 683
Early the next morning, Su Yu was preparing to go to court.Tang Ling'er told Su Yu to come back as soon as possible, and the concubine ceremony will be held in the afternoon.

Seeing Tang Linger's thoughtful look, Su Yu knew that what she was worried about was not the ceremony itself, but was worried about facing certain people.If Su Yu is not at home, she will feel alone.

Su Yu said that he would come back as soon as possible, so he walked away.Behind King Qin's chariot was a donkey cart, on which some polished wood was pulled.But everyone doesn't know what the wood is for.It is said that it is a gift for the queen mother and cannot be bumped.

Three shouts of long live to the little emperor who was less than one year old, and then the emperor was taken away, and the early dynasty began.

From Su Yu's point of view, the early court was a place for quarreling, cursing, wrangling, and sharing big pies.

In fact, most of the matters can be solved directly in various functional departments, or with the queen mother and the two regents.

If you are really facing a special event, you will not get it from the court.The queen mother, the regent and the three princes can decide in the apse.

As long as it can be brought to the court, it must be a trivial matter that involves the interests of various factions.For example, today we want to discuss the case of Jiangsu Yandao Observer Ximen Hou. First, Cao Yuzan will make a ruling. If Cao Yuzan's ruling can be accepted by people, then it will be passed.

Cao Yuzan threw the book presented by Dali Temple to the eunuch and sent it to Ximen Zhensen, and then announced that Ximenhou would be deposed from his title and dismissed from his post, and executed by cutting off his left foot.

Ximen Zhensen unfolded the brochure and looked at it. This rebellious son of the Ximen family is really shameless. He was imprisoned for corruption before, and Ximen Zhensen fought for him, but this time he killed someone for entertainment. The evidence is solid. Ximen Zhensen finally refused to fight for him.

Duke Chu released the zhezi lightly, and the eunuch immediately took the zhezi away and sent it to Dali Temple for execution.

On Su Yu's side, the household department also had some matters to discuss, but it didn't cause any controversy.

After the morning court was over, Su Yu went to the apse.

Hearing that King Qin was coming, Cao Yuzan said that she was overdressed and wanted to go back to the palace to change.As a result, after half an hour passed, Empress Dowager Cao twisted her waist and came to the apse.Taking this time, Su Yu finished assembling the billiard ball.

As for this billiards case, three points were used to create a seven-point assembly, Su Yu had a lot of experience in this.

Cao Yuzan was sitting on the couch in red makeup, and the maid Sun Bumei was holding a plate of frozen pears, mashing them into a paste, and Cao Yuzan was eating them spoon by spoon.

Su Yu came here with a strong purpose, just to discuss the matter of Wanma Books and Newspapers, and he didn't hide it from Cao Yuzan, so he told you and her about the deeds of the gang of vassals, hoping that the Queen Mother would forgive her.

But Cao Yuzan ate half of the plate of frozen pears, she didn't say a word, put down the jade plate and said: "Then how to play billiards, you come and teach me."

Let’s just say that Cao Yuzan is very spiritual and can learn everything quickly. She thinks this billiards is interesting, so she can’t help but want to play it, and she played for an hour in a daze.As for the group of ministers waiting at the entrance of the apse, she seemed to have forgotten.

Hit the black ball into the hole, and poked the white ball in again: "Meng Xiang told me that there is a book and newspaper company that became popular based on gossip, and it surpassed the official media." She put down the cue and sighed: "Meng Xiang I didn’t say what to do with the main writer.”

Cao Yuzan sat back on the couch, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the teacup and said, "My younger brother is interested, the things you sent are really interesting, I can use my muscles and bones more in the future. As for Dongfang Xu, I'll see you There's no need to be so nervous, right? He's just a commoner. If we don't sentence him, why don't we have to sentence those concubines?"

Su Yu sighed: "To be honest, my brother and Dongfang Xu are from the same hometown of Huazhou, and they have some friendship."

Cao Yuzan snorted softly: "You don't want to lie to me. Pretend I don't know that you are also one of the 'Eighteen Sages'? After all, you are still worried that this will ruin your reputation."

Cao Yuzan brushed off his sleeves, and said in a long voice with some reluctance: "Well, sister-in-law, I am dedicated to serving the royal family. How can I see King Qin's reputation damaged. But the book and newspaper office must be shut down, otherwise we will It’s not easy to explain to Meng Xiang. Besides, the book and newspaper office dares to publish any news, and it deserves what happened today.”

……

Dongfang Xu was released soon, and a group of vassals welcomed him out of prison like a hero.

I thought that this matter would be covered up like this, but I never thought that half a day had passed, and I didn't know which channel the news would leak out from.It is said that this gang of vassals has suffered a lot.The hostesses of each family were furious and beat them up.

And this news also involved Su Yu as expected, so Tang Linger must know about it at this time.Su Yu cursed a few words in his heart, and instead of going home, he went to Xian Wang's mansion to meet the old prince.

"Nephew, pay my respects to Uncle Huang."

"Uh, Jinfeng, don't be too polite, come and sit down."

The old prince was wearing a set of white velvet casual clothes, lying on the warm couch, looking unwell.But his complexion didn't look bad, but he heard that the joints in his legs hurt, so he had difficulty moving.

"Jinfeng, I heard that your fourth division is recovering quickly?"

"There are already 400 people."

"Oh, very good, very good. But Jinfeng can't blindly seek speed, this selection still needs to select elite soldiers. The training must also keep up."

"My nephew will keep in mind what the uncle said."

With Daxier's support, the old prince sat up: "Now some of the soldiers in Mozhou have been transferred away. Now there are 11 soldiers in Yunzhou, [-] in Mozhou, [-] in Xiangzhou, and [-] in Zhengzhou. The rest [-], all in Gyeonggi-do. [-] in the eight passes, [-] in the Jinwu Guard, Zhang Yunlong's first division and Cao Sheng's second division divided Luoyang into east and west..."

The old prince liked to talk about military affairs very much, and he talked a lot, Su Yu listened with great interest.

When he said he was tired, Su Yu mentioned the iron mine.In the past, the Tang family had privately contacted several iron ore owners whose mining licenses had expired, but the new mining licenses had not been issued.This time the Tang family hopes to cooperate with the Xian Wang, how much does the Xian Wang want?
King Xian said bluntly that the reason why he did not agree before was because he could not get any benefits.

Now that I have points, of course I will agree.He said he needed [-]% iron to arm his troops, especially the troops in the Eight Passes.

Now the eight passes are separated by the two kings. The troops of the Xianwang faction include Su Yu's fourth division at Zhiyuanguan, Zhao Qiang's seventh division at Yiqueguan, Mengjin Yeting's No.11 division, and Xuanmenguan Shajunwan's No. 19 divisions.

Feng Zhanting, the former No. 19 division Zhonglang, has been arrested by Cao Yuzan, and has not been dealt with for a while.

Lao Feng was born in Gongxun Street. Due to the intricate relationship between relatives, someone always came to Cao Yuzan and Kang Wang to intercede.What's more important is that Lao Feng had contacted Cao Yuzan last year, but the trip never took place.

But treason is the top crime, it is impossible to release him easily, he has been kept in prison, and he is not allowed to visit.Cao Yuzan was not in a hurry to do things, and it was estimated that Lao Feng would suffer for a while.Maybe Cao Yuzan is still waiting, if he dies in the cage, that would be the most worry-free result.

After chatting for a while, the virtuous king said that he would send an eunuch to the Tang family's mine to keep an eye on it, so that the Tang family would not make false accounts to deceive people.Su Yu said, it should be so.

……

Su Yu went home after having lunch at King Xian's place, and the family was making arrangements to accept the side concubine.And the backyard is still beating and beating to build the Palace of the King of Qin. At this time, the palace looks very lively.

Hearing that Feng Yu had been sent to the Lin family, he recognized the old lady of the Lin family as his adoptive mother, and changed Feng Yu's surname to Lin, saying that she was a girl from the Lin family.At this time, the Lin family was dressing up the adoptive daughter and preparing the sedan chair.

There is also a meritorious service street in Qinghuafang, also known as Badajiang Street, and the people living here can be regarded as third-rate nobles.

And these things are the clever arrangements of the princess.

But even so, it still failed to hide it from the royal family.No, the too long princess Zhao Yu led a group of princesses to question Tang Linger.

The princess Taichang spoke with reason and evidence: the prince's family must be of noble origin, and Feng Yu, a commoner, can at most be regarded as a beautiful concubine, how can it be her turn to be a side concubine?
Tang Linger remained silent.

The second princess Zhao Jun said: With such a humble status, the sons born are not named Zhao, let alone written in the genealogy, so as not to pollute my royal family's flesh and blood, and humiliate my royal family.

Tang Linger's heart moved, and she felt that this was a good idea, so she said: "Since the aunts object so much, then I will listen to you and give birth to a child whose surname is not Zhao. But the matter of accepting the side concubine has been announced to the public, and this side concubine is also The King of Qin promised it. Now that half of the matter is done, but the promise is made, it will also damage the credibility of the King of Qin."

Tang Ling'er took a step back, thinking she could get something in exchange, but Jincheng Princess Zhao Xing said: "Ling'er, don't argue. It's against the rules for you to cut first and play later. If you forgive me this time, then next time Do you still want to be fooled like this?"

Being attacked in turn, Princess Chang'an became a little angry, and raised her brows: "In the final analysis, it is up to King Qin to accept the side concubine for me and King Qin."

At this time Su Yu was still downstairs, chatting with Lin Wan in a good mood, unaware that the verbal confrontation upstairs was fierce.

Not long after, the princesses came downstairs and when they saw Su Yu, they called over and sat around in the hall on the first floor.The princesses were upset, and their tone was sonorous.

Zhao Yu asked Su Yu, was it your idea?
Su Yu said yes.

At this time, several aunts began to criticize, and wanted Su Yu to promise that he would not accept such a lowly side concubine in the future.Due to Su Yu and Tang Linger's poor performance this time, the three old princesses decided to personally find the second and third side concubines for Su Yu, depriving Su Yu of the right to choose his own concubine.

In fact, they don't have such power, but don't argue with them.Annoyed the three princesses, they went to the queen mother to chatter, maybe the queen mother would give an order.

Su Yu perfunctorily said to them: Good.

At this time, the three old princesses nodded in satisfaction, but they did not stay to watch the ceremony, because the concubine's grade was too low to be worth watching.

Hearing the result, Tang Ling'er let out a sigh of relief, this time it can be regarded as getting through.
