It is difficult for the farmer's sister

Chapter 723 Promotion
The third prince, King Jing, who is now inheriting the throne, is not her own son, but he was born of the queen's confidant who grew up serving her.

King Jing's biological mother committed herself to His Majesty when she was pregnant because she helped her consolidate her position as empress. Unfortunately, she was so unlucky that she died due to dystocia and hemorrhage on the day of her delivery. After her death, the child she gave birth to was King Jing, who has always Raised at the queen's knees.

And King Jing respected the queen like his own mother since he was a child, so in the eyes of the queen, he was actually the same as his own son. After all, didn't everyone say that the biological mother did not have a foster mother?

Originally, the empress was still thinking about how to pull the crown prince down from the position of crown prince. She just came up with a countermeasure, and before she had time to discuss it with King Jing, who knew that the crown prince committed a foolish death by himself and dared to murder His Majesty together with Concubine Liu Gui. But that's good too, she didn't need her to drag herself down from the crown prince.

And Concubine Liu Gui, who had always been at odds with her, was thrown into the cold palace because of her failure to rebel. The Liu family was ransacked. The spoiled princess has become the daughter of a sinful woman, the younger sister of the former prince. In short, I am afraid that I will not be able to find a good son-in-law in the future...

Three days before the national funeral, all the officials and their family members had to enter the palace to kneel for the funeral. Su Rui entered the palace and knelt for three days in a row. The first two days were fine and she could persist, but on the last day, she really couldn't persevere. Living.

Su Rui secretly rubbed her knees, looked at the royal women who were still kneeling around, and then at the women kneeling outside the palace, Su Rui felt that she could still persevere, after all, she Kneeling on the soft cushions in the main hall, but it is much better than the lady kneeling on the stone road outside.

At least the wind can't blow, and the sun can't shine...
People still need to be content...
When the time came, Su Rui sat slumped on the soft cushion, and slowly stood up after a while, and Yun Wanxian stood up beside her.

"Sister Rui, let's go."

Su Rui bent down and rubbed her sore knee, "Well, let's go."

Yun Wanjiao is the first princess. She is no longer the first emperor since her majesty. She has been in the palace since the first emperor fell ill. It has been three days since the late emperor passed away, and she is still in the palace every day. It is said that Empress, no, it is the empress dowager now, it is said that the empress dowager is also sick...

The outside world has heard that the empress dowager and the first emperor and his wife were deeply in love. Because of the death of the first emperor, the empress dowager couldn't accept it for a while, so she suddenly fell ill.

When Su Rui heard about it, she told Meng Mingzhou that the former emperor and the queen mother had a good relationship. Meng Mingzhou just laughed and said nothing when he heard the words. He would not tell Su Rui that the queen mother was too excited so she sprained her feet. Knowing that, he announced that he was sick.

Time flies, autumn goes to winter, winter goes to spring, and the original King Jing, the current emperor, has officially ascended the throne for a few months, and many things have happened during these months, such as the former Although the crown prince was charged with treason, the emperor did not kill him because he was a brother. Instead, he punished his family to stay in the imperial mausoleum forever, and was not allowed to return to Yuncheng without a will.

Then, because of the wars among several major tribes on the northeast border, some of them took the opportunity to invade the state city on the border of our dynasty, and the court received several urgent letters of war every day.

His Majesty was worried about the food and grass needed for the war every day, so he asked the Ministry of Accounts to hold a grand auction meeting. It was so grand that all the merchants and wealthy merchants in the entire Yuncheng gathered in front of the table specially built by the Ministry of Accounts.

Although Su Rui didn't attend in person, she also asked Butler Wang to go there secretly. Recently, she spent a lot of money. Although the benefits of the shops under her name are not bad, the income is not small, but the sum of the income is not enough. There are only tens of thousands of taels, and you can't grab anything if you participate in the auction.

But Su Rui really didn't want to miss this hard-won opportunity. After all, the shops, houses and Zhuangzi auctioned by the imperial court this time were all very good, and they might not be able to buy them with ordinary money.

Seeing that Su Rui really wanted it so much, Meng Mingzhou had no choice but to sell another wave of ginseng and various fruits. He collected more than 100 million taels and asked Steward Wang to take people to the auction. He was lucky and snatched a Chengxi Dazhuangzi, which is about [-] acres away, robbed a large house with four entrances in the west of the city, and several well-located shops. It is said that the properties that Steward Wang robbed were all the property of a certain Marquis who participated in the rebellion.

The topic is off topic, let’s get back to the topic, because His Majesty wants to raise food and grass, so he auctioned off most of the shop, Zhuangzi and the house that he got from the raid, and the money he got was nearly 2000 million taels of silver, which is more than the Ministry of Households. The amount of 1000 million taels was nearly [-]% higher, which made His Majesty very happy.

The national treasury received nearly 500 million taels of silver, and His Majesty took out [-] million taels to buy grain and grass, and sent them to the Northeast battlefield quickly. General Yan received the grain and grass, and immediately led an army of [-] to kill the invasion Several tribes in the country were completely disabled at one time, so that they would not dare to invade the border of Yunchao again for at least ten years.

Meng Mingzhou was also promoted. He was transferred from the deputy commander of the patrol battalion to the Ministry of War. He was the right servant in the Ministry of War. Su Rui was a little confused when he got the news. Before he realized it, why did he suddenly switch from a military position to a civilian position?Although the Ministry of War also greets some big bosses, but the Ministry of War also deals with a lot of other ministries, all of which require brainpower...

In the end, it was Meng Mingzhou who solved her confusion. After learning the reason, Su Rui shut up. It was her fault. She told Meng Mingzhou too many modern things, so that His Majesty knew his talent and felt that he was thrown in the The little patrol battalion wasted.

Of course, it's not just Su Rui's fault, it's mainly because Meng Mingzhou is really talented.

But thinking about Meng Mingzhou's transfer to the Ministry of War is also a good thing, not only for promotion, but also because it is safer in the Ministry of War than in any barracks. No city guard general or patrol battalion can compare with the safety. At least if there is another war, he will not have to On the battlefield···

Su Rui was taking a walk in the garden with the triplets. Xiao Mumu took Su Rui's hand and watched the two brothers running in front. She couldn't keep up, so she anxiously pointed to the background of the two brothers and shouted, "Mom, Mother, brother..."

Su Rui smiled and said, "Xiao Mumu, let's not worry, let's go slowly."

The little girl is the youngest of the triplets, not only because she was born late, but also because she is also the weakest physically. Her two twin brothers can run and dance, and they can speak fluently. Now she can speak freely. The two words jumped out, and it was only when I left that I started to walk slowly, and every time I had to be led by someone, otherwise it would be very easy to fall.
