son-in-law

Chapter 953

Concubine Tang was sitting on the couch, holding a document in her hand. After reading the document, she looked out of the window, dazed in a daze.

Tang Ling'er sometimes felt that Su Yu was a strange person, and couldn't figure out what he was thinking.Yesterday he said that he took the initiative to go to Cao Yuzan and asked to reduce his title and salary.He also said in a tone of asking for credit: From now on, there will only be two side concubines in the Prince's Mansion, and the number of beauties will also be reduced to three.

At that time Tang Ling'er didn't take it seriously, she just thought that Su Yu said something nice on purpose.Unexpectedly, in the afternoon of the next day, Tang Linger saw the "New Regulations on Noble Salary" sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the new regulations did not stipulate the number of beauties in the prince's family, the number of side concubines was indeed reduced to two.This made Tang Ling'er very curious, why did Su Yu go to Cao Yuzan to talk about this matter.

Princess Chang'an, whose skin was almost transparent, sat on the couch and thought for a while, feeling that there was something wrong here.

After thinking about it, she then thought that this bill might not have been proposed by Su Yu at all, and he couldn't stop Cao Yuzan from promulgating a new bill, or he was unwilling to argue with Cao Yuzan over such a trivial matter.

In other words, he just ran back home and pretended to be a good guy.

Obviously Tang Ling'er found a feeling of being cheated, but this time she was not angry, she just shook her head with a wry smile.

After all, this is good news for her, and she doesn't have to think about the third concubine anymore.

Back then, when Su Yu's prince status was first announced to the public, Tang Ling'er really didn't know how to face her new life.Of course she knew how many concubines and beauties the prince should have.

After an arduous psychological struggle, she is ready to accept the side concubine, but she wants to delay the time as much as possible.

However, the pressure from all walks of life forced her to take some measures, such as using Feng Yu and Kong Ting, who were born maidservants, to fool the royal family.But her actions not only failed to gain sympathy, but were strongly criticized by Princess Taichang and others, and even visited her door to accuse her.

Tang Linger gritted her teeth and stiffened.

But at this time, a new situation appeared. Meng Danqing was annoyed by the empress dowager's breach of the contract. He demanded to strictly implement the "Taiping Alliance" and send his side concubines to the Geng and Qin palaces.The result was another farce.And the biggest beneficiary of this farce is not the Meng family, but Ximen Wanting.

From then on, it was a bit overwhelming.

Tang Linger was almost numb with anger.

But people always have time to adapt. After a period of time, Tang Linger took it easy and began to join forces with Ximen Wanting to block the newcomers.First, he gave Nalanxi to Tang Zhen, and then messed up Zhan Youni's affairs.

It now appears that these efforts were worthwhile.

When the Ministry of Internal Affairs issued a clear order to let Tang Linger get rid of a heart problem, she suddenly felt in a good mood.

And at this time, she had accepted the fact of the two beauties.

I still remember when she swore that she would never allow beauties to enter the house.As a result, thanks to Cao Yuzan, Feng Yu and Kong Ting were abolished into beauties with a single edict.And these two people were indeed recruited by Tang Linger.Aftertaste, there is always a feeling of throwing stones at one's feet.

But Tang Linger was not worried about the beauty, because the princess had the right to expel the beauty directly.

This is not Tang Linger's privilege, but the privilege of all the eldest ladies.

Although Tang Linger had absolute control over the beauties, she suddenly smelled something bad: Why did Su Yu deliberately mention three beauties?

Based on Tang Linger's understanding of Su Yu, he is very good at avoiding the truth and pretending to be false. He is digging some kind of hole again, so he can jump into it by himself, right?

Thinking of this, Tang Linger heightened her vigilance and began to observe Su Yu's recent small movements.She was somewhat suspicious that Su Yu wanted to add beauties.

Tang Linger's first suspicion was Lin Juan, because that girl's appearance became more and more outrageous, just like Tian Jing, the characteristics of a woman became more and more obvious.

This annoyed Tang Linger.When people are fat, they only get fat where they should be fat, but when they are fat, they swell up like dough.

Speaking of Tian Jing, her belly is getting big again, and she will give birth in a few months.The reason why Tang Zhen attacked Cao Wudi was because of her proud figure.But Lin Juan is relatively quiet, and seems to be catching up.

But after a few days of observation, the little spies Tang Linger sent to the palace said that Lin Juan was well-behaved.And Qin Wang has the same attitude towards Lin Juan and others.If we talk about being close, it's better to be close to Mei Hongshan, because they often meet Li Fu in the secret room.

Since there is no one at home, does King Qin have someone outside?
So Tang Ling'er called Tong Yu over, and asked a few questions with a big stick, and Tong Yu answered fluently, only saying that his prince was the same as King Kang.Tong Yu also proudly said that our prince always takes King Kang as his example, and he does what he says.Our prince is a good man who is hard to find even with a lantern.

Tang Ling'er felt that she was asking for nothing, and Tong Yu was becoming more and more cunning.

Although the suspect was not found for a while, Tang Linger was still a little uneasy.

With Tang Linger's endurance, she feels that there are enough women in the family now, and it has reached the limit she can bear.

It suddenly occurred to Tang Zhao, the Seventh Aunt, that she was able to marry Chen Meiren in a high-profile manner for Emperor Wanlong, and the Seventh Miss of the Tang family must have been very uncomfortable at that time.

……

King Qin had been busy all morning, and finally had some free time. He went to sit in the side concubine's room, and told Meng Can about Cao Yuzan's new rules.

Seeing that Su Yu was in a good mood, Meng Can asked curiously, "Didn't the King of Qin always want a beauty to fill the position of side concubine? Now that the hope is shattered, why is he so happy?"

Su Yu smiled and said: "Feng Yu and Kong Ting, who is the best choice? Kong Ting will be sad if you choose Feng Yu; Feng Yu will be sad if you choose Kong Ting. Now that this opportunity is gone, everyone needn't be sad."

Meng Can smiled bitterly and said, "But no one is happy."

Su Yu shook her head and said, "'Getting' and 'losing' have different effects on people. For example, Xiao Huan can be happy for an hour if she earns 20 coins; but if she loses 20 coins, she will be upset for several days. Feng Yu and The same is true for Kong Ting. If Kong Ting gets the position of side concubine, she will be far less happy than Feng Yu will be sad."

Meng Can nodded and said, "His Royal Highness always settles accounts, and everyone in the family will be taken care of."

Su Yu smiled foolishly.Then she took the little side concubine with ox horn bun to Ximen Wanting's house to visit, but Qingya Xiaozhu closed the door, and heard from the little eunuch Chang You that Ximen side concubine left early in the morning, she said that she had already told the king of Qin.

Su Yuning raised her eyebrows and thought about it. She didn't remember Ximen Wanting saying it. Thinking about it again, she remembered what Ximen Wanting said the day before that she was going to the West Market to see something exciting.It seems to be related to Han Wei.

"Oh, I remembered, she calculated that Han Wei would take revenge on the Ax Gang..." Su Yu smiled bitterly: "This Ximen Wanting, I really can't do anything about her."

……

King Kang stationed troops in Jiuquan.

In his prime, he has always been pure-hearted and ascetic, but recently he has become obsessed with Taoism.

Taoism in the Liang Dynasty was mainly divided into Quanzhen School and Zhengyi School.

The Quanzhen sect advocates alchemy as a monk, attaches great importance to the cultivation of energy and spirit, and burns edible pills.The Taoist priests of the Quanzhen sect have strict rules and regulations, do not marry, do not eat meat, wear daily Taoist attire, and keep their hair and beard tied.Unless something special, basically do not leave the place of practice.

Zhengyi mainly draws talismans and recites mantras, and most of the traveling Taoist priests who are common in the Jianghu are Zhengyi.They don't have so many rules and regulations.They can have a secular life, have children, eat meat, wear casual clothes, and have casual hairstyles and beards.Only when you go to the temple to chant scriptures and perform scriptures and repentance rituals, will you wear clothes in accordance with the ritual requirements.

His Royal Highness Kang Wang believed in Quanzhen Taoism, so logically speaking, he should become a monk.But King Kang said, the emperor is still young, and the barbarians in the four directions are still uncertain. As a descendant of the royal family, this king cannot let go of the great trust of his ancestors.Therefore, there are many distracting thoughts in my heart. It can be seen that the fate of the world is not over, and I can't become a monk for the time being.When Emperor Daxing grows up and the Quartet is settled down, I will become a monk again.Although this king has not become a monk yet, he has already abstained from female sex and meat, and restrained himself according to a regular Taoist.Everyone also help me keep the precepts.If I violate the precepts, everyone must bravely point out my mistakes.Not only will I not blame you, but I will also reward you heavily.

King Kang seemed to be quite devout, so he went to Qilian Mountain to visit Master Zhang Tianhua of Quanzhen Sect, and wanted to pay homage to him.

How could Master Zhang dare to be self-respecting as the teacher of Kang Wang? He only said that he would lead disciples for his master, and let His Royal Highness Kang Wang worship before the old teacher's spiritual throne, and was given the title of "Sage Immortal".

Kang Wang called Zhang Tianhua his elder brother, and Zhang Tianhua called Kang Wang a saint, and made a great robe for King Kang, the purple silk silk robe with yellow breastplate was very noble.But King Kang said, how dare the younger brother be more polite before he wears the purple robe?So he bestowed Zhang Tianhua with a purple robe, and the two of them regarded it as a gift to each other.

Since then, there has been a highly respected purple-robed great celestial master and a saintly Taoist in Jiuquan city.

Shengxian Taoist wrote the precepts into the military regulations. He asked himself to abide by the rules, and he also asked others not to tempt him to break the precepts.For example, it is not allowed to send wine and meat to his table, let alone send women to his room, otherwise there will be no mercy.

But the Great Master of Heaven does not require the generals to be like him, everyone can eat whatever they like, and the Master of Heaven does not care if the generals go to the kilns during vacation.Everyone said that these military regulations were set for Kang Wang and himself, and had nothing to do with other people.

Everyone also said that Kang Wang doesn't like people who give gifts with their beards, so he simply set up military regulations to stop them.It is even more obvious that Kang Wang has a noble character, which is already so high that he is unattainable.Ordinary people feel ashamed of themselves in front of him and look up to him for life.

In addition, Kang Wang also obtained a secret technique "Longevity Flying Ascension Record" from Master Zhang Tianshi.

His Royal Highness Kang Wang made alchemy himself, and after taking it, it was really effective, his face was radiant, he only needed to sleep for two hours a day, and he was still full of energy the next day.

Kang Wang called it a peerless secret medicine, and wanted to bring it back to Kyoto to honor Emperor Daxing.

"Obtaining this treasure, how can I enjoy it alone. But if I can't return to the court for a while, I will send my cronies to hurry up and dedicate this bag of elixir to my emperor."
