Domineering husband

Chapter 151 Sheng Hong's Confidentiality Was Well Done Mr. Zhou Zhengye

   In Li Qiao's view, with his independent power to criticize memorials, many officials will definitely come to make friends with him.

He comes and goes in a hurry every day, and after returning home, he only has time to sleep, but Tao Zhu is at home.

The social interaction between Mrs. Hou Zhai and Fu Lang is not inferior to that of the men in the previous dynasty.

In the past, when Li Qiao was a small official, after entering the Hanlin Academy, no one came to the door or invited him and Tao Zhu to any gatherings or banquets. People send New Year gifts to each other.

Last year, he was promoted to an official, and his colleagues in the Imperial Academy walked around with him frequently, not only sending some gifts during the Chinese New Year, but also during other festivals.

But maybe it was because Tao Zhu had just given birth and needed to take care of the cub, so few people came to the door or invited the couple to banquets or parties.

In addition to his colleagues in the Imperial Academy, officials from other departments began to send him holiday gifts.

At the boy's first birthday party before, he received congratulatory gifts from forty or fifty officials. However, these forty or fifty officials were all small officials with low official positions and officials with similar official positions as him. None of them were above the third rank.

Officials from these other departments would invite him to parties, or take him out for drinks after get off work.

He said no to all of these, and for good reason, he needed to go home to take care of the kids, and he was not a good drinker.

He has always had this temperament, and it is the same with his colleagues in the Imperial Academy. He has always fixed his social circle on a few fellow villagers.

He treated everyone equally, so the officials who were rejected didn't seem annoyed and maintained a good relationship with him.

Tao Zhu was also invited to go out to parties and banquets, but Tao Zhu also refused all of them on the grounds that he needed to take care of the children.

In fact, in terms of the importance Sheng Hong attached to him, the threshold of his family should have been breached long ago.

But because he provoked the fifth prince's family, his popularity among the officials did not match his treatment in front of Sheng Hong.

But now, in the dispute with the Fifth Prince, Sheng Hong not only didn't let him suffer, but also allowed him to independently review the memorial. It stands to reason that officials from other departments should feel at ease and boldly make friends with him, right?

He is not an ordinary celebrity in front of Sheng Hong now, he is a celebrity with independent power to criticize memorials.

Not even the seven cabinet masters have such power.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would surely drop their jaws when they knew about this, and then they would take action, right?

Although he doesn't like this kind of social interaction, how can it be possible for a person to be a loner in the officialdom.

He is ready for all kinds of invitations and posts.

But half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and when he got home, Tao Zhu only mentioned it to him twice, saying that someone had sent a post to invite Tao Zhu to the banquet.

None invited him.

What is the situation?

He was really puzzled, so before going to bed that night, he talked to Tao Zhu about it, it shouldn't be!

Tao Zhu didn't notice this at first, but after hearing his analysis, he was immediately surprised.

"Yeah, what's going on?"

What an explosive news that a young courtier can independently approve memorials, but recently no one has sent greetings or posts to Li Qiao.

"...Could it be that everyone doesn't know about this?" Li Qiao thought about the last time he and Tao Zhu donated money, but Xin Zhi didn't even know about it.

"I only heard what you said, but I didn't tell others." Tao Zhu said immediately.

Since Li Qiao started to write contemporary works, Li Qiao would occasionally talk to him about some interesting memorials, but he seldom talked to him.

For this reason, Li Qiao felt a little sorry, there had never been any secrets between them!

But he understood very well that Li Qiao was busy with important state affairs, and he, a housewife, really shouldn't know about so many confidential and important matters.

This time Li Qiao was able to approve the memorial independently, which was a great event. Li Qiao told him that night, but he didn't tell anyone.

He rotted in his stomach all the things Li Qiao told him about the court, and he didn't say anything to anyone.

"Then other people don't know about this?"

Li Qiao opened his eyes wide.

Even if Sheng Hong wanted to keep it secret, there were quite a few people in the Zhengtong Renhe Hall where Sheng Hong lived. When he was approving memorials several times, some court ladies would come over to give Sheng Hong a massage, refill tea and snacks, etc.

There are a lot of people talking, but this matter has not been spread?

Li Qiao was greatly shocked, and had to find someone to verify this matter.

It was also a coincidence that when he went to work the next day, he met the Seventh Prince.

The Seventh Prince has nothing important to report to Sheng Hong recently, he only needs to go to the Ministry of Punishments every day, and Li Qiao hasn't seen him for several days.

In summer, the Seventh Prince was still riding a horse. He and Li Qiao rode side by side, waving their whips and quickly heading towards Dingchun Garden.

It was just dawn at this moment, and the soft wind carried water vapor and coolness. It was a very good experience in this hot summer to ride a horse in a hurry against such a small wind.

When they arrived at the gate of Dingchun Garden, they jumped off their horses. The Seventh Prince handed the horses to the guards at the gate, and said to Li Qiao, "I didn't expect you to be good at equestrian skills, and you could keep up with me." "...Thank you, Seventh Prince, for your compliment.

" ."

Li Qiao was a little dumbfounded.

How did he say that the Seventh Prince was running faster and faster, he thought that the Seventh Prince was in a hurry, but in the end he wanted to see his horse riding skills?

Seeing that the Seventh Prince was about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Seventh Prince, stop."

When the Seventh Prince stopped, he motioned for the Seventh Prince to take a few steps to the side, and then said in a low voice, "Seventh Prince, have you ever heard What's new about the lower officials?"

"New?" The Seventh Prince was stunned for a moment, then frowned, and asked seriously, "Is there someone in the capital spreading rumors about you?" "No, no, no."

Li Qiao immediately Shake your head.

So the Seventh Prince didn't know either?

Then Sheng Hong's secrecy work is a bit powerful.

"The lower official just asked casually. Since there is no one, let's enter the garden together." He pointed to the designated gate of the Spring Garden.

The Seventh Prince sized him up suspiciously, seeing that he didn't intend to speak any more, he walked towards the gate of Dingchun Garden.

The name of the Hall of Zhengtong Renhe is actually a large courtyard with pleasant scenery and architectural style somewhat similar to Jiangnan gardens. It is full of green trees, exotic flowers and plants, and two springs. The spring water is accompanied by crisp birdsong. Let people's heart calm down at once.

Li Qiao likes this kind of courtyard very much, but unfortunately, Qingquan Mountain is the territory of the royal family, and there is only one residence of Sheng Jun here, and the people beside him, even the prince, have no right to build gardens and houses here.

Sheng Hong was exercising under a hundred-year-old banyan tree. The banyan tree had a big crown. He was wearing a white robe and his hair was casually loose. Looking from a distance, he looked like a fairy.

Li Qiao praised Sheng Hong's temperament in his heart, and then went to the wing room specially used for sorting memorials, while the Seventh Prince was waiting in the main hall.

He read the memorial very quickly by himself, and quickly finished sorting it out. Holding the most important and urgent ones in his arms, he left the wing room.

The wing room was only more than twenty meters away from the main hall. He glanced at the entrance of the main hall, but there was no sign of the Seventh Prince. The main hall door was closed, and Qian San was standing guard at the entrance.

This means that Sheng Hong has important matters to deal with.

He held a dozen memorials and stood at the door of the wing room. Subconsciously, he moved his ears, trying to hear who was in the hall.

Eavesdropping, it's immoral.

But since he got involved in the court, and also provoked people from the fifth prince's family, he must know as much information as possible to deal with various situations.

However, the sound insulation of the main hall was good, and he was standing a little far away, and with cicadas and birds chirping in his ears, he could only vaguely hear who was inside and some words.

The person inside is Master Zhou, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, the main hall door opened, and Mr. Zhou Zhengye, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, came out from inside.

Mr. Zhou is the eldest prince's uncle. He is in his fifties this year. Among the seven cabinet scholars, he is the youngest, and his body and bones are stronger than the others. However, like the other scholars, he comes once every three days. Dingchun Garden.

But today is not the day when several cabinet scholars came to Dingchun Garden, because they only came yesterday.

Now Master Zhou came again, and Sheng Hong closed the door of the main hall, what happened?

Thinking of the keywords he heard just now, he subtly frowned.

Holding the memorial and walking over, he respectfully saluted Zhou Zhengye.

Zhou Zhengye was unsmiling, always had a serious face, and the few wrinkles between his brows had never been relaxed. When he saw Li Qiao, he called out to Mr. Li, and then left in a hurry.

Li Qiao carried the memorial into the main hall.

In the main hall, only Sheng Hong was there. Li Qiao didn't hear the voice of the Seventh Prince just now, and the Seventh Prince was not in the hall at this time, so he probably left.

Sheng Hong did not sit behind the imperial case, but lay on the couch with half-closed eyes, looking like he was in deep thought.

Seeing Li Qiao came in, he asked slowly: "Li Aiqing, is there any government affairs that I must deal with immediately today?

" ." Li Qiao replied in a respectful voice.

For example, the training of the forbidden army and the payment of the army, which need to be dealt with by Sheng Hong today.

These things seemed insignificant and not urgent, but because Sheng Hong had always attached great importance to the Forbidden Army, he would deal with all the papers related to the Forbidden Army on the same day, so Li Qiao reminded him.

"Then let it go, I just punched and I'm tired. You deal with those unimportant details first, and I have to go back to the bedroom to rest." After saying this, he got up from the couch, and then walked into the room with his hands behind his back

. apse.

Li Qiao: "..."

On the surface he told Sheng Hong to take care of the dragon's body, but he felt a little strange in his heart. Although Sheng Hong has been putting on bad things recently, it was the first time that he went back to the bedroom directly in the early morning.

Are you really unwell?

Seeing Sheng Hong's slow pace, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It would be great if his water ability had a healing attribute. In his last life, Huaguo had a water-type ability user with a healing attribute, which made him envious.

Unfortunately, he is not the one most favored by God.

Sighing again in his heart, he went back to the wing room and carried the papers of greetings and gratitude to the main hall, and the day's work officially began.

Sheng Hong took a rest and did not return to the main hall until the afternoon.

So Li Qiao worked overtime again.

Soon it was evening, and it was time for dinner.

Under normal circumstances, Sheng Hong would either go back to his dormitory for dinner, or go to the courtyard of other concubines for dinner.

This time when Sheng Hong came to Dingchun Garden, the empress was not accompanying him, but Concubine Dong Gui and several nobles of low status were accompanying him.

But this time, Sheng Hong didn't go anywhere, he asked someone to put the dinner in the hall.

Naturally, Li Qiao was not qualified to eat at the same table with him, Li Qiao had a small table alone, and there were six dishes and one soup on the table.

Seeing Li Qiao finish the six dishes and one soup with his own eyes, Sheng Hong couldn't help smiling and complimenting him: "Li Aiqing has a good appetite, no wonder she can come up with so many interesting and fresh ideas."

Li Qiao: "..."

囧.

After dinner, it was completely dark.

But Sheng Hong still didn't leave. He picked up a memorial and said to Li Qiao with a smile: "Li Aiqing, please give me some advice on the current training methods of the imperial army." The author has something to say:
