After the divorce, I became the Lord of the Six Houses

Su Jingyan looked down at her flat belly. On the way back to Luoyang, she and Xiao Yi were not less presumptuous. After all, they still owe Xiaoxiao a little husband, but nothing happened.

But Su Jingyan was not in a hurry, she just smiled and said, "Mother, you are urging me after you have these two great-grandchildren? Mu'er has already had a happy event, and Zhan'er's is coming soon, right? Don't think too much of Su's family by then." The kids are just annoying."

Mrs. Su smiled and said: "The more children the better, the more lively the better."

It was almost noon, and Cheng Li brought his two children and Gu Yu over. Gu Yu grew taller, his face was still pale, and his body was full of the smell of medicine at such a young age.

Seeing Gu Yu wearing clothes embroidered with koi every year, she went over to hold the koi on Gu Yu's clothes and said, "Mother, I want to wear clothes with fish!"

Su Jingyan finally understood why Niannian was willing to play with Gu Yu. What she liked was the clothes on Gu Yu. Su Jingyan asked Cheng Li, "This Gu Yu seems to have fish on every clothes?"

Cheng Li said: "This child has been in poor health since he was a child. The Taoist priest asked him to regard fish as godfather and mother. Every year, he releases a lot of fish. There are also koi on the things used in his clothes. These koi are from the mansion. The servant girl embroidered it on purpose."

Su Jing said: "So that's the case, then wouldn't he not be able to eat fish?"

Cheng Li nodded and said, "The Gu family rarely eats fish at family banquets."

Su Jing said: "That's a pity, fish is so delicious, I love fish most every year."

Nian Nian came back this time and became much more fluent in speaking. Nian Nian, who used to only speak repetitive words, is now able to answer fluently.

The little cousins ​​of the Su family finally didn't dislike her anymore, and the children gathered together to play.

Xiao Yi went to Xuan Guogong's study and played a game of chess with Xuan Guogong.

Seeing Xiao Yi's chess skills getting better and better, Xuan Guogong said: "Your Majesty's chess skills are getting better and better, and the old man is far behind."

Xiao Yi said: "Father-in-law is over-reputed, and I was able to improve by playing chess with Ah Yan along the way."

Xuan Guogong looked at Xiao Yi in front of him and said: "Your Majesty, I should have resigned last year, but it was delayed by the Cangzhou incident. I want to resign in a few days."

Xiao Yi didn't stop him and said, "Okay, Taiwei Ye has retired and returned to his hometown. The position of Taiwei is reserved for your father-in-law. Although the position of Taiwei is empty..."

But Xuan Guogong cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you can let the old minister be clean and quiet for a few years. Your Taifu Hu is not willing to accept the old, so let this position be given to Taifu Hu!"

Xiao Yi smiled slightly and said, "Alright."

Xuan Guogong put a piece on the chessboard and said: "Your Majesty always likes to attack in chess, and he can't ignore a mistake in a move. If there is a mistake, he would rather miss this chess piece, but he doesn't know that this chess piece is of great use."

Xiao Yi looked at Xuan Guogong curiously: "What does father-in-law mean?"

Xuan Guogong said: "It is a good thing for Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate corrupt officials all over the world, and it is also a good thing to thoroughly investigate the granaries of various government offices, but Your Majesty must remember one sentence, when the water is clear, there will be no fish.

The sons of aristocratic families who become officials are afraid of the collusion of the family, and the sons of poor families are born in poverty and hold great power. After suddenly becoming rich, how many people can have the original intention?If you just want to be a good official for the people, what's the problem with taking bribes?It's better than forming a party for personal gain! "

Xiao Yi frowned and said, "Father-in-law, I don't agree with what you said. If you are a good official for the people, you won't embezzle them, and you won't touch the yamen's food."

Xuan Guogong said: "The grain in the yamen is used for disaster relief, but how can there be disasters on weekdays? This grain is like bait for fishing, and few local officials will not take the bait.

This time the incident in Cangzhou was indeed due to the lack of relief food, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people. Your Majesty has done a great job and went to Cangzhou to win the hearts of the people in Cangzhou and even Shu. At that time, you will not be afraid of Nanzhao's chaos. "

Xiao Yi said: "This time I went here not to win the hearts of the people, but to feel guilty, so I must not lightly spare the moths and rats who used the relief food!"

Xuan Guogong said: "Your Majesty, what you said is also reasonable, embezzlement of disaster relief food is an unforgivable crime, but there are so many government offices and counties in the entire Datang Dynasty, and there are many people who have taken action against the granary. Punishment will only backfire..."

"Managing the court should be like flying a kite. Who would dare to do practical things for the common people if everyone in the officialdom is at risk?

Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that the granary should be inspected, but it is only a reminder to the officials, not that heavy punishments will cause panic in the whole of Datang. Many geomantic treasures will not need disaster relief food for ten or eight years, and the officials have already sent disaster relief. The food is regarded as silver taels in my own purse.

If you are too radical this time, I am afraid that half of the prefects in Datang will be replaced. "

Listening to Xuan Guogong's persuasion, Xiao Yi said, "So you always knew about the local officials stealing the relief food?"

Duke Xuan Guo nodded lightly and said: "This is already a customary rule, and it's not an old minister's evasion. The emperor knew about it, your grandfather knew about it, the empress knew about it, and the emperor Taizu knew about it, but they couldn't control them.

I can’t get up early without profit, the poor family’s son Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and exhausted his family’s wealth, and the official’s salary alone is far from enough..."

Xiao Yi said, "This is called a lack of people's hearts. As long as the previous corruption has been replenished and the accounts settled, I will no longer pursue the previous mistakes, but the granaries in various places must be managed by the imperial court.

Even if natural disasters only happen once every ten, eight, or even a hundred years, once something happens, the granary is insufficient, and the people who died are so innocent. These grains were originally handed in by the people. They are loyal to me, and I can't be ashamed of them. "

Listening to Xiao Yi's words, Xuan Guogong said, "Your Majesty's words are absolutely true, and the old minister can leave the court with peace of mind."

Your Majesty listens to persuasion even more than the previous emperor, and will not go his own way. This is the luck of the subjects.

Xiao Yi put down a pawn on the chessboard, Duke Xuan was stunned, Xiao Yi's aggressive moves took up more than half of the chess board, he didn't even need to count the pieces, he had already seen that he had lost.

Duke Xuan Guo smiled, "Your Majesty, it's time to open the table, please."

In the banquet of the Su family, there is no room for a round table, and the children are so tired that they sit alone at the table. They have learned to use chopsticks every year, and they can't stop eating fish.

Seeing this, Mrs. Su said, "Ah Yan, how can you let Niannian eat fish by herself? She is so young, she has chopsticks?"

Su Jingyan smiled and said, "Mother, don't worry, she will pick out the fishbone by herself long ago, and the cook has already handled the fishbone."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her every year, she used chopsticks to pick up a piece of fish meat for Gu Yu and said, "Eat fish."

Gu Yu was very embarrassed when he saw the fish in the bowl, it was Gu Qiyao who exchanged a bowl of rice with Gu Yu, "Your Highness, fish is brother Yu's godfather, so brother Yu can't eat fish."

Nian Nian is very puzzled, why people would call some fish godmother, and simply eat the fish in front of him in an extremely obedient manner without saying a word.
