Domineering husband

Chapter 146 : Li Qiao is a coolie and the fifth prince knows his mistake

    Li Qiao is very happy that Sheng Hong can remember his main job.

Since he was promoted to an official, he has been reading books. He does not read these books for nothing. As long as he reads the books collected by the Imperial Academy, he will leave detailed notes.

If he wants to join the cabinet, there must be ink in his belly.

It is always right to read more books, and now he can lead a generous salary to concentrate on studying, what a great opportunity, so he cherishes it very much, and is very serious when he goes to work every day.

Now, after studying for more than half a year, Sheng Hong wants to check his results, he is very happy, he is not afraid of checking!

However, Sheng Hong didn't ask too complicated questions, and when meeting him, Mr. Yan Anbang happened to come to deliver the memorial, so Sheng Hong simply asked him to read the memorial.

On weekdays, Sheng Hong went to court every two days, and when he was not in court, he would review many memorials.

Anyone above the seventh rank of Beijing official can hand him a note, no matter it is for a performance, or to say hello or thank you, you can write a special note and send it up.

In addition to magistrates, local officials of the fifth rank and above can give him a book.

There are many people who are qualified to submit the papers, so a large number of papers fly into the palace every day.

These excerpts were first classified by several cabinet scholars according to the content. If it was urgent or important, it would definitely be presented to him as soon as possible.

Other less urgent and less important things such as Greetings, Thank You, etc., will be presented to him after he has finished processing the urgent papers.

Of course, the secret folder does not need to go through the cabinet, but can be put into a special folding box and presented directly to Sheng Hong.

In the past, when Sheng Hong reviewed the memorials, he would leave Zhu Zhu's comments on everything that was presented to him.

But since he suffered a serious illness last year, when he reviewed the memorials, he would pick up some unimportant ones and let the cabinet masters ghostwrite them.

If he is tired, even if it is an important note, he will ask the cabinet scholar to ghostwrite it.

Now it happened that Li Qiao was present, and Yan Anbang sent some unimportant notes, so he simply asked Li Qiao to read them to him.

When Li Qiao finished reading, hand it to him, he glanced roughly, and then took up a pen to leave his comments.

However, he soon became tired.

If in the past, this kind of tiredness was nothing at all, but after being ill for a while, he was very reluctant to die, and the imperial doctor would not let him be tired, so he would try not to be tired.

"Li Aiqing, I say, you write." He made Li Qiao a young man.

"... Your Majesty, I am afraid that my handwriting will embarrass you."

Li Qiao said awkwardly.

The other cabinet masters are real ancients. They have practiced calligraphy since childhood, and the characters they write can only be credited to Sheng Hong.

But for him, he can only embarrass Sheng Hong.

"No, I won't embarrass me."

Sheng Hong smiled and shook his head: "During your imperial examination, your articles were posted all the time, and everyone in the world knew that you, the number one scholar, were not good at writing. If you talk about embarrassment, it won't Embarrass me."

Sheng Hong said, pointing to the table used by other university scholars to ghostwrite on weekdays, on which there are pens, ink, paper and inkstone: "Write boldly."

Li Qiao: "..."

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

Heartbroken.

That's right, people in the world knew that his handwriting was not good, and his own face was already lost, so why did he embarrass Sheng Hong.

He walked a few steps, came to the table and chair on the left side of the imperial case, rubbed the ink first, and then sat down to prepare the contemporary pen.

The scriptures he read just now are all irrelevant, it is normal for Sheng Hong not to waste his energy on it.

However, Sheng Hong is really talkative!

For example, the four prefectures that were hit by floods last year gave Sheng Hong an invitation letter, and reported on the reconstruction work after the disaster.

These papers were all sent over years ago, but the Chinese New Year holiday was early, and Sheng Hong was also busy celebrating the New Year, so he only picked up important papers for approval, and this kind of papers were not sent over until today by the cabinet.

However, for such a simple note, Sheng Hong asked him to write more than a thousand words of instructions.

More importantly, there are four such booklets!

Sheng Hong was very concerned about the local situation, whether it was the reconstruction of houses, the growth of crops, or the attitude of the people towards the imperial court, Sheng Hong reminded them one by one, and asked for more details when the four houses submitted their papers next time. Report the local situation accurately and truthfully, and prohibit falsification.

Li Qiao finished writing these four notebooks in one breath, her arms were a little sore.

Sheng Hong took a look at the memorial he had just finished, and was very satisfied: "Although the writing is average, it is correct and fast." "It really

is a young

man. " After writing these words in one breath, you must take a good rest.

But looking at Li Qiao, he looked like a normal person.

It's nice to be young.

So, the next day, Sheng Hong summoned Li Qiao into the palace to give him a contemporary pen.

He was reluctant to order those old fellows in the cabinet. These senior scholars concurrently served as six ministers, and they were very busy every day. Moreover, the senior scholars mainly used their brains. If they were asked to do physical work, it would be a waste of money.

But Li Qiao was young and strong. Although he was a scholar, his body was a little thin, but his strength was stronger than that of a strong man. Not only could he knock Lu Wenrong unconscious with one kick, but he could also hit people with his arms.

Such a strong laborer, since he was caught, he must use it well.

So, for five consecutive days, Li Qiao entered the palace to write for Sheng Hong.

For such a long time, it was enough for all civil and military officials in the court to know that he had become a close minister of the emperor.

A bachelor's degree is a position that can be easily promoted. This position can not only meet the emperor and princes often, but also show them the ink in their stomachs.

If the emperor is satisfied and approves of the ink in his belly, then when dealing with government affairs, he will definitely ask the Bachelor Attendant casually and ask the Bachelor Attendant to express a few opinions.

This kind of opportunity is not available to every official of the fifth rank or above. As long as the bachelor attendant seizes the opportunity to let the emperor know that he not only has ink in his stomach, but also has unique insights into government affairs, then the promotion will not take just a few minutes. thing.

Most of the cabinet scholars come from the Imperial Academy, which is also because of this.

Often by the emperor's side, often able to show his talents to the emperor, isn't it easier to rise to the top than other officials.

But Li Qiao's ascent speed was a bit scary.

He has only been a bachelor's degree attendant for more than half a year. At this time, none of the other bachelor's degree attendants in the Imperial Academy has been squatting in this position for several years.

What's more, the timing is also ingenious.

Because the fifth prince is about to be released from prison, ah no, he is going out of customs.

At this time, Sheng Hong called Li Qiao to his side every day, with a strong sense of protection, so strong that he would pour all over Chao Wenwu's face.

The fifth prince was imprisoned for a month during the Chinese New Year. This punishment did not seem to be severe, but the fifth prince was fined instead of being framed, and made a mess. It was actually quite embarrassing.

This is enough to show his lack of ability.

Even a junior official of the seventh rank can't handle it. This...

Sheng Hong's words of scolding him that day were quite correct. In fact, it doesn't matter if he is framed. Seriously affected the pocketbook of the British government.

The Fifth Prince wants to teach Li Qiao a lesson, which is very normal.

However, since you have done it, don't be found out, after all, this matter is not in line with Dasheng's laws, and it is also not in line with benevolence, righteousness and morality.

But the fifth prince was discovered.

Although it was interrogated by the seventh prince, the result was that the fifth prince shot himself in the foot with a stone, and lost face.

He is not an ordinary prince, he is a prince who intends to fight for the throne and competes openly with the third prince. Now that he is punished by Sheng Hong, the momentum is suppressed by the third prince.

If you can't even deal with a seventh-rank official, how can you fight for the throne?

With the temperament of the fifth prince, when he comes out, he will definitely get back the lost face.

But Sheng Hong's intention to protect Li Qiao was extremely obvious, so he definitely wouldn't do anything in a short time, right?

It's the rest day again, and the weather is getting warmer. When I stay in the sun in the yard at noon, the warmth is higher than that of the greenhouse.

Xin Zhi came to play cards with Li Qiao again.

Now the business of the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince's gambling shop is very good, especially on this kind of rest day, and it has been booked early, so he can't be ranked at all.

His family didn't have the guts to imitate mahjong and poker, so they could only come to Li Qiao if they wanted to enjoy themselves.

Xin Zhi came to play, and of course Li Qiao wanted to play with him. It happened that Xu Ying and Shen Hua also came, so in the end Li Qiao, Xin Zhi, Xu Ying and Tao Zhu played mahjong together.

Li Dashan, Li Ershan, and Zhao Shen were all busy in the shop, and there were only a few men left in the family, Li Dao, so Tao Zhu had to be on top.

Zheng Qianqian is very obsessed with playing cards. Although he can't play at the moment, he can watch. He moves a small stool and sits beside Tao Zhu, looking at the card table for a while, and at the two little boys and Li Xiaorui for a while.

The two cubs are already able to walk while leaning on the wall.

Li Xiaorui was even able to run.

These three little guys are very lively every day, and they are also full of curiosity about the world. They want to touch and touch everything they see. Although there are no sharp objects in the yard, Li Xiaorui jumped into the basin with his whole body. This kind of thing can't happen again.

It's winter, I almost caught a cold last time.

So these three little brats must keep watching.

Shen Hua's interest in mahjong is so-so, what he usually does is to use his brain, but playing mahjong requires brains——

Anyway, he has to use his brain every time he plays mahjong. If he plays for one or two hours in a row, his brain will be very tired.

Therefore, at this moment, he didn't even look at the mahjong table. After Xu Ying got on the table, he and Li Xia followed behind Li Xiaorui and the two boys.

He wants to have a baby!

When playing cards at home, Li Qiao has always set a rule of one penny per game, and Xin Zhi also abides by this rule when he goes to the countryside to do as the Romans do.

Although he usually only wins three or four pennies in a game, he is happier than when he got his salary.

"The business of the Taishanghuang and the First Prince's gambling shop is very good. Many people want to play and can't get in the queue. They can bear it before, but this Chinese New Year, many people want to play but can't play, so many people give the gambling shop's management I have raised my opinion, and I hope the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince will open a few more casinos." "

As for the casinos in the British government, they are deserted and deserted, and the daily customers are limited."

Xin Zhi is also a chatterbox, and his hands are constantly moving. The mouth does not stop.

"Open more gambling houses?"

Li Qiao opened his eyes wide.

"The Supreme Emperor and the First Prince may not necessarily agree, but they may also agree. After all, there are two of them in charge. Everyone who enters must abide by the rules. Even if those people lose, they will not cause tragedy." "

No There will be tragedies, but they still make a lot of money, so it's okay to open more casinos."

Of course, Xin Zhi supports opening more casinos.

In this way, he can often have a good time.

Li Qiao: "..."

That's right, the gambling house of the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince is not so much a gambling shop as a mahjong parlor.

The rake is so high, the rich and the noble can directly earn four taels of silver in a round, and if tea and snacks are added, they can earn five taels of silver in that round.

The gambling house of the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince is quite large, not only has a courtyard, but also a three-story building. In one day, those rich and noble people can play at least five hundred rounds.

If you play Doudizhu, it will be faster, and it is very possible to play thousands of rounds a day.

Five taels of silver for one round, two thousand five hundred taels for five hundred rounds, and five thousand taels for one thousand rounds.

Good guy!

I don't know this account, but I'm shocked when I calculate it!

With such huge profits, the Taishanghuang must not be able to bear the temptation, because when the Taishanghuang was in power, the Taishanghuang paid to support the Dasheng officials. Later, when Sheng Hong ascended the throne, Sheng Hong took care of the Dasheng officials.

But in terms of the harmonious relationship between the father and son, the Supreme Emperor will definitely support Sheng Hong. To be precise, this official of Dasheng is raised by the father and son of the Sheng family.

Therefore, in the face of such huge profits, the Supreme Emperor should not be able to bear the temptation.

This casino branch will really open.

...

If a branch is really opened, then he and Brother Zhu must continue to donate money this year.

Xin knew whether the casino would open a branch after the gossip, so he brought up the business.

The fifth prince is about to leave the mansion soon, Li Qiao and the others must pay attention, they must not be caught by the pigtails, and they must not be framed.

Xu Ying nodded. He was very careful in the first place, and he went through the ledger several times a day, lest there be any mistakes or omissions.

In the end, the Fifth Prince couldn't stop him from finding someone to imitate his handwriting.

But now that he is the boss of the banking department, he is in charge of the little money in the banking department, and it is not easy to make fake accounts.

As for Zhuang Wen, Zhuang Wen is in the Ministry of Industry, and Mr. Zhao is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Although he is not the boss of the Ministry of Industry, he takes care of Zhuang Wen a lot.

Moreover, Zhuang Wen only engages in design every day and does not handle money. It is also difficult to frame Zhuang Wen.

And Meng Yue, Meng Yue's familiarity with the Seventh Prince scared him.

But at this time, he was the least worried about Meng Yue.

With the Seventh Prince covering her, it is the safest.

Therefore, the most dangerous person right now is still Li Qiao.

However, recently Li Qiao was often by Sheng Hong's side, and if the fifth prince dared to attack Li Qiao, it would be to slap Sheng Hong in the face.

Liqiao should also be safe?

Li Qiao himself felt that he was quite safe now.

Sheng Hong had asked him to write more than 20,000 words of instructions every day for the past few days. He was sure that when Sheng Hong personally gave instructions before, he would never be able to write that many words every day.

But now he is being used as a cow and horse, and he doesn't need to do it himself, so he let himself go and talk nonsense.

It is written that every time he sits on the bullock cart going home, he has to quietly run his powers to relieve his fatigue-after he practiced every bit of time, his powers finally reached the third level.

The third-level ability can mobilize the energy absorbed from nature, and can control these energies to travel in the body.

Sheng Hong ordered him like this, of course he had to keep him.

If he falls, then Sheng Hong will not be able to find a ghostwriter who can write like him. The youngest of the cabinet's bachelors is in his fifties, and the oldest is seventy years old, but he can't handle it. kind of workload.

Sheng Hong grabbed one of his sheep and pulled the wool hard, so Sheng Hong must keep him.

In the next few days, Sheng Hong still summoned Li Qiao to the contemporary writing in the palace every day. He no longer left his Zhu Zhu on those memorials, and now he was only responsible for reading, and Li Qiao wrote the specific words.

He really likes watching memorials.

He wants to obtain all kinds of information from various places in Dasheng, and memorials are the fastest and most stable channel. With these memorials, he can know the affairs of the world and all kinds of new things.

It's so boring to stay in the palace all day, facing either the eunuchs and maids or the harem every day.

Books are not very interesting, they have been around for a long time, even books such as geography and travel notes do not arouse his great interest.

Only these memorials came from all over the world, not only many, but also fresh, which filled him with anticipation every day.

Of course, he didn't look forward to those natural or man-made disasters at all.

However, in the past, he only relied on himself to review the memorials, and his limited energy and physical strength limited his performance.

But now with Li Aiqing, he can not only read more memorials every day, but also say whatever he wants.

Wonderful!

Because I read so many memorials and didn't need to write any words every day, my instinct that had been suppressed for a year was finally released.

This afternoon, after he finished reading a memorial, his anger was drawn out, and he immediately wrote a thousand-word article.

Since he got sick last year, he followed the doctor's advice to take good care of his body, not only to be less angry, but also to work less.

But every time he writes this kind of article, he is extremely full of emotions, and nine and a half out of ten articles are mixed with anger.

In order to avoid getting angry and hurting his body, he did not start writing articles last year.

But what was written in this memorial is too abominable.

It said that a county magistrate in a certain place, in order to imitate Li Qiao alone, led the whole county to fly, so as to obtain good political achievements, so he forced the scholars in the whole county to give him ideas, and secretly stated that if anyone's idea was adopted, then the county would be promoted in the future. When trying, he can unspoken rules.

How can people not be angry about this kind of shit?

Let's take a look at the performance of the fifth prince who suffered from the flood last year. His anger reached its peak in minutes.

hateful.

If public grievances are aroused for the sake of political achievements, what is the use of political achievements?

This vile atmosphere must be ruthlessly killed!

As soon as Sheng Hong's essay came out, the fifth prince, who was originally only one day away from the confinement, was extended for a period of time.

Sheng Hong settled the accounts for him at that time, and locked him up for ten more days.

As soon as this punishment came out, the third prince trembled, how could he settle old scores like this.

But in order to prevent Sheng Hong from counting his old accounts, he immediately stopped the daily banquet of officials.

Forget it, don't be too public, let's talk about it after this period of time.

So, by the time the fifth prince's confinement ended, it was already February when the grass was growing and the birds were flying.

The casino branch of the Supreme Emperor and the First Prince has opened.

The Fifth Prince was imprisoned for such a long time, and after he came out, his attitude towards Li Qiao changed drastically. He actually went to the door with Duke Ying to apologize to Li Qiao and Xu Ying.

This startled Li Qiao and Xu Ying.

What's the situation?

The Fifth Prince and the Duke of England wished to destroy them, but now they came to apologize?

horrible!

But the Fifth Prince and the Duke of Ying came to apologize in person, and Li Qiao and Xu Ying naturally had to smile. The two of them could not refuse to shake hands with the Fifth Prince to make peace.

The two of them could only follow the fifth prince's attitude.

The actions of the Fifth Prince and the British Duke shocked the government and the public.

Wow, the fifth prince is... cowardly?

But Sheng Hong was very relieved, yes, it seems that Anger really thought about a lot of mistakes during the period of thinking about her mistakes behind closed doors, and knowing her mistakes can make a big difference.

As long as he can repent, he is still his good boy.

To be honest, he attaches great importance to each of these biological sons. Although he sometimes uses them as tools, from the bottom of his heart, he hopes that these sons will be well.

At the beginning, he didn't follow his father's advice, and only picked out one son to focus on training, so that all of these sons could become talents, and then together they would continue the prosperity of Dasheng.

Now it seems that his wish should come true?
