Qin Kan had been standing in the pavilion without saying a word, watching the crying Liu Liangnu quietly, and his mood was particularly heavy.
No one is wrong and no one can be blamed.
Liu Liangnu was born in poverty. She needs a stable and ordinary life. She can be poor, but she cannot lack pampering.
Zhu Houzhao was not bothered. He was forced by his heirs to choose his concubines. He could not live up to his ancestors' legacy.
The civil and military loyalty of the Manchu Dynasty was paramount. The heirs of the Tian family were more important than one's own heirs. The royal family must reproduce and pass on. This is an established concept taught by Confucianism for thousands of years. Confucius could not change it even if he was reborn.
They are all victims, but no real culprit can be found, because the real culprit is in everyone's mind, invisible and invisible, but it harms everyone.
"Empress Liu, there will be no new people replacing the old ones. You and His Majesty have been together for ten years. Don't you know what kind of character His Majesty is? It is helpless for the cabinet ministers to propose choosing a concubine. After all, such a huge country cannot live without an heir. Your Majesty has one Only the Dragon Son can calm the hearts of the people in the world, allow this country to continue to move forward smoothly and steadily, and continue to maintain respect for the barbarian vassals Empress Liu, no matter how many concubines are added to His Majesty's harem, you are still His Majesty's favorite woman. , don¡¯t forget how hard His Majesty pursued you ten years ago, and you were the first and only woman he fell in love with.¡±
It was very hard for Qin Kan to say these words, but his eyes looking at Liu Liangnu were still clear and innocent. He knew that his words were not comfort, but facts.
Although the fact is helpless, it must be accepted.
Liu Liangnu was silent. She was just depressed, but she was not an overbearing person. She married an emperor who was more than ten thousand people. The result today must have been expected by her, but when this day came, she expected it. I just felt a little sad for a moment.
With a sad smile, Liu Liangnv turned her head and stared at the sparkling lake, and said: "It's my fault that I have failed to live up to expectations in recent years and failed to give him a boy and a half girl. This is all fate Mr. Qin. Now that the matter has come to an end. , I also have to ask you to pay more attention to the selection of the concubine, and don't let the traitors outside take advantage of it. I heard that during the selection of the concubine, a woman named Wang had an affair with the White Lotus cult and was almost selected into the palace. If I really want her to accompany His Majesty. Your Majesty's life will be in danger. Once it is over, it will never happen again. Everything depends on Mr. Qin."
"Yes, I will do my best to investigate and select carefully, and I will never make the same mistake again. Take care, Empress Liu. I will retire"
Liu Liangnv nodded, and Qin Kan exited the pavilion step by step.
Standing next to the waterside pavilion on the shore, Qin Kan turned around and glanced at Liu Liangnu's lonely back again, sighing secretly in his heart.
??Peders outside the wall, and the beautiful lady inside the wall smiles.
Who is standing outside the wall and who is standing inside the wall?
It was already dark when we walked out of the Leopard Room.
Although Zhu Houzhao was not happy, Qin Kan still ticked the boxes to select eight concubines from fifty women. They are all the daughters of minor officials or Gongsheng Juren in various prefectures and counties in Northern Zhili. After Wang Jianzhi's incident, the factory guards' investigation of these fifty women became more and more detailed. In the past few days, the factory guards Tiqi four As a result, the eighteen generations of ancestors of the fifty women were clearly traced, and those whose ancestors had some bad deeds were excluded. In fact, less than thirty people were actually sent to Zhu Houzhao's desk for him to check. In Qin Kan's case, After hard persuasion, Zhu Houzhao finally reluctantly selected eight concubines among the thirty people.
Tomorrow morning, I believe the ministers will have more smiles on their faces. Because finally waiting for His Majesty the Emperor to be able to mate like an Australian hare, this feeling is even better than having sex on their own.
As for whether His Majesty's dragon and cock will be tired, it is not within the scope of the ministers' consideration. After all, this is such a pleasant thing, and it is inappropriate to complain about being tired. Those bachelors from poor families basically rely on their hands to have sex, so why should they be embarrassed?
¡¡¡¡
Qin Kan's mood was very complicated. At this moment, he was vaguely hesitant. When the ministers were admonishing the selection of the concubine, should he stand up and oppose it? People say that the heavenly family is ruthless. Does it mean that in order to reproduce his heirs, the emperor must make sacrifices? The price of true love?
Ding Shun, who was dressed in a bullfighting brocade robe, stood quietly outside the door of the leopard room and waited. When he saw Qin Kan coming out, Ding Shun hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
"Shall the master return to his home or to Beizhen Fusi?"
Qin Kan glanced at him: "Is something wrong?"
Ding Shun smiled and said, "I do have something to report."
"explain."
"Yesterday afternoon, Jiang Bin entered the Leopard Room, knelt down outside the main hall and confessed to His Majesty that he had neglected his duty. He said that he should not have mistakenly handed over to the gangsters, and was almost taken advantage of by the thieves"
Qin Kan frowned: "What did your Majesty say?"
"Your Majesty ignored him at first. After all, the White Lotus Sect is a poisonous thorn in His Majesty's heart."At that time, His Majesty Long Yan was so angry that he ordered Wang Jianzhi and his daughter from Shunde Prefecture to be thrown into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Later, he changed his order and sent them to the imperial prison. Those who were taken to the imperial prison by your majesty's own decree were definitely There is no way to survive, and Jiang Bin, as the deputy concubine selection envoy, is colluding with the remnants of the White Lotus Sect, how can His Majesty not be angry? "
Qin Kan sighed in disappointment: "But later, His Majesty still forgave Jiang Bin, right?"
Ding Shun also sighed: "Your Majesty is too soft-hearted. I guess Jiang Bin also made a lot of contributions in front of your Majesty during the battle of Yingzhou, so your Majesty values ??him very much. Later, he saw Jiang Bin kowtowing outside the Leopard Room. He knocked his forehead until blood flowed, and he looked really miserable. His Majesty forgave him. Not only that, he also gave him a hundred taels of gold and a luxurious house in the inner street of the north city of the capital. It was a sign of the emperor's great kindness"
There was a hint of gloom on Qin Kan's face: "I originally wanted to implement Wang's confession in prison, whether it was to force a confession or to bite him, but in the end I got Jiang Bin in his hands so that he would not dare to be arrogant in the future. Who would have thought that Jiang Bin This guy Bin actually solved the crisis by himself with a cruel trick. This guy has a calm and ruthless mind and should not be underestimated. As time goes by, I don't know how full his wings will be."
Ding Shun's face showed a stern look: "My lord, while Jiang Bin has just arrived in the capital and is not yet stable, why not let his subordinates arrange an accident for him? After all, the capital is such a dangerous place, and many accidents happen every day"
Qin Kan sighed: "It's no longer feasible. Your Majesty trusts him so much, how can he have another accident?"
After a pause, Qin Kan asked again: "How is Qian Ning?"
"Qian Ning is still waiting for the father-in-law's summons at the Qianhu Office in Nancheng."
"This Qian Ning is really good at his job. Wang Jianzhi does everything neatly and beautifully without leaving any clues. Even I can't help but applaud him. In this case, tomorrow the experience department will issue a transfer order and promote him to the fifth rank of town governor. .¡±
Ding Shun was stunned and said hurriedly: "Master, this Qian Ning is capable of doing things, but his character is not very good. We can't let him take over"
Qin Kan curled his lips and said: "It doesn't matter, give him the title of governor, and then send him to Japan, where he will be controlled by Sun Ying, the chief soldier of the Shenji Battalion. No matter how high his official position is, he will eventually be In the palm of my hand"
Ding Shun said happily: "You are so smart!"
¡¡¡¡
¡¡¡¡
When I returned to the mansion, it was already time to light the lanterns. Two dim lanterns had been hung high outside the gate of the Duke's mansion. Two rows of guards lined up in a wild goose pattern outside the gate, standing silently with their swords pressed, which invisibly set off the Duke's mansion. More and more majestic and solemn.
Qin Kan stepped out of the official sedan. A figure flashed in the darkness outside the door. The guard beside him nervously pressed the handle of the knife at his waist, but Qin Kan waved his hand with a smile.
The figure that flashed out of the darkness was an old acquaintance, but this old acquaintance acted like he was not familiar with Qin Kan.
"I am lowered to Tang Yin, please see"
Qin Kan looked up at the sky, as if he hadn't seen Tang Yin at all, and murmured: "The officials in the capital are becoming more and more unruly. How dare they come to the gate of the Duke's Mansion to block people? Someone, come and kill this He was taken from a sixth-grade official to a prison, and the Duke of my country suspected him of robbing a tomb"
The two guards held Tang Yin's arms on the left and right while suppressing their laughter.
As early as six years ago, the romantic and talented Tang Yin was no longer romantic. He changed his elegant hobby of hanging around brothels all day long and came to Qin Kan to ask for an official position for him. The apparent reason was that he had walked among thousands of flowers and was wearing a green shirt. Not letting the lingering fragrance linger, he decided to become an official, Guangzong Yaozu.
It¡¯s a pity that such reasons fall into the ears of people like Qin Kan, who often judge a gentleman¡¯s heart with a villain¡¯s heart. Naturally, I didn¡¯t believe a word of it. That year, Tang Yin was already forty years old. Judging from the lascivious life he lived before he was forty years old, Tang Yin probably couldn't be romantic even if he wanted to. Brother Tang wanted to kill the thief, but Brother Tang was helpless. . Just call Naihe.
Qin Kan was always willing to support his friends. No matter what the reason, now that Tang Yin has become more progressive, Qin Kan is naturally happy to see it happen. However, people like Tang Yin are not only pedantic, but also arrogant. The temperament of a typical Ming Dynasty scholar, if you let After he entered the officialdom, his temper was probably eaten away by the old foxes in the court within a few days.
So Qin Kan thought about it, and even sacrificed his face to ask Zhu Houzhao for an order. Despite Zhu Houzhao's reluctance, he finally appointed Tang Yin as the Imperial College Supervisor. From the sixth rank, he was in charge of the Imperial College Supervisor, which was roughly equivalent to the school's teaching director. official position.
Tonight, Tang Yin came to the gate of Duke Ning's Mansion as an official. Even the old concierge of Duke Ning's Mansion might not want to see him, even the sixth-rank officials.
Two guards held Tang Yin's arms, and Tang Yin was shocked: "Mr. Qin has misunderstood, I am not a bad person"
Qin Kan still raised his nostrils: "Who are you? My father-in-law has never seen officials below the fourth rank."
Tang Yin was so anxious that he finally felt blessed and said loudly: "Hey! Qin Kan, brother Qin Xian, I am Tang Yin, Tang Bohu from Gusu! "
After changing his name, Qin Kan's face finally looked better, and his amnesia was instantly cured. He looked at him carefully, as if he had just recognized Tang Yin, with a fussed expression on his face: "Oh, it turns out to be Brother Tang, long time no see! Come back later!" In my family, we must not call ourselves a subordinate. A sixth-grade official will usually be beaten to death when he appears outside the Duke's mansion"
