When Yaoji heard that it was such a rotten girl's reason, he was relieved when he thought of Xue Wanqing's majestic size.
"Skinny horses" are popular these days, and you may feel a little disgusted with this "fat horse".
Xue Wanqing's figure is not very fat. If that's the case, it would make sense with these "double airbags". She can be regarded as a standard little fat beauty.
However, this girl has a graceful figure, and her body is extremely well-proportioned except for her breasts. But paired with such an earth-shattering "nuclear weapon", it seems extremely inconsistent and very unsightly.
If someone's son married such a giant ball monster as his wife, if word spread, he would inevitably be criticized, and the father's face would be tarnished.
Besides, an official with a good reputation would naturally not allow his son to marry Xue Guoguan's daughter. The chief minister also looked down on them as his son-in-law.
If you go back and forth, you may be delayed, but you can't completely believe old Xue Tou's words. This guy is different from what he appears to be, and there may be another hidden reason in this matter.
Thinking on the bright side, as the prospective father-in-law said, wouldn't this fine "little fat horse" give him an advantage in vain?
You can massage your hands and back every night, it's so comfortable that you don't need it any more, hehe...
"So you haven't found your in-laws yet?"
This matter needs to be asked carefully. Only when Old Xue Tou admits it personally can it be considered a certainty.
"...Exactly, Your Highness!"
Xue Guoguan couldn't help but feel elated, there was only one last sentence left. As long as the prince could take the initiative to mention it, it would be done.
"If I intend to marry Ling Qianjin, will Aiqing be willing?"
I guess if you say you don't want to, then you've got fried locusts stuck in your head.
"...I am willing! I am willing! As long as His Highness does not dislike Dog Girl, I am very willing to do so. I will inform Dog Girl when I get back and make preparations!"
Being able to marry the emperor and have his daughter become a princess is a great joy and good thing for his family.
From now on, he can become the chief auxiliary and the national warrior. Such a supreme dual identity will definitely make others intimidated.
When the daughter goes to the palace to serve the prince, she can also blow the pillow breeze from time to time. If there is any trouble, she can also notify herself in time.
What was originally a troublesome building has become a good solution to kill two birds with one stone in the blink of an eye. What a blessing!
If she can become the Crown Princess, when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, she will become the Empress of the Ming Dynasty, the mother of a country.
The status of the Xue family will be improved to a higher level, and the official will try his best to curry favor with him...
Yao Ji noticed the subtle changes in Old Xue Tou's face, but did not point it out. He said calmly: "My dear, you don't have to be like this. You can enter the palace to serve after your daughter is proven to be good. There is no need to prepare anything. Wait until the day when the matchmaker will marry you." Just make preparations before it comes. Before that, it must not be spread. I will tell my mother and queen. As for whether Ling Qianjin will be the future crown princess, it is still unknown. If she marries Ling Qianjin, My dear, there is no need to prepare a dowry. The country is facing a crisis, and I must set an example. Everything should be simple and should not be extravagant or wasteful, which would make the world laugh at me."
Living together first and getting married later is in line with a certain prince's view on marriage. If he doesn't serve him well enough, he will be kicked out and he will go back to marry some unconsecrated girls with big balls.
Since she is a giant ball girl, she must be a rare species in the empire and cannot be let go easily. Even if she is kept in captivity for eye-satisfaction, it is still an excellent enjoyment.
Besides, exercising with them and looking at the magnificent scenery like the huge waves around you will definitely make you feel relaxed and happy, and you will live a long life. This is a good product for extending your life!
The Crown Princess is the future Queen. She is well-educated, gentle and virtuous, good at housework, and mature. Needless to say, if she is like Aunt Tian, who knows everything about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, can sing, dance, play and sleep with her, then It's even more perfect.
You can't pray that your future eldest wife can do all decathlons. If you can reach seven or eight points of the established standards, you are already considered to be the best. If you really can't do it, you can marry a few more wives to make up for it, integrate resources, and complement each other's advantages. .
"The guilty minister must obey the holy edict and will not neglect it!"
You can do whatever the prince tells you, and you can't go wrong. If you ruin the prince's good deeds, you will not only have to pay for the family property, but also the daughter.
Using all the property and a daughter in exchange for the chief assistant and the national battle cannot be considered a loss. If it is done properly, at least something can be gained. Now he is receiving the gift according to the order.
As the saying goes, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. Perhaps this is what I have experienced.
Zhang Sizhi, Chen Yan, Wei Zhaocheng, Yao Minggong, you idiots just go on your way.
Regardless of the ups and downs of the imperial court, I remain as unmoving as Mount Tai, hahahaha...
"Your Highness, the guilty minister has something else to do. I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"
This is a very important matter. It involves the prince and his own income, so it must be discussed in advance.
"But it doesn't matter, I forgive you!"
Hesitating and murmuring, if you really don’t want to say it, why can you still ask?
"Your Highness, the threshold for accepting gifts from guilty ministers..."
If the price is set high, everyone will not be able to bear it; if the price is set low, the prince may be dissatisfied.
The prices of different regions, different levels, different yamen, and different positions are all different. If we sum them up and give a price, there are actually many very different jobs to choose from. Feng Quan last night is an example.
With the same five thousand taels of silver, you can become a local governor or enter the imperial palace. The specific choice depends on your personal background and ability to make money. Anyway, the amount of vacancies in your hand is sufficient, and they are all fat jobs. , don’t worry about not being able to sell it.
So when it comes to selling an official position, there is a lot of knowledge involved, and not everyone can master it. If you don't master it well, you will easily lose your head.
This time I was walking on the edge of a cliff, so I have to be very careful in the future.
"Just follow Aiqing's previous standards. Since they are all acceptable, there is no need to change them!"
Don't squeeze too much at one time, five thousand taels of silver is enough. Otherwise, these moths will be eager to get their capital back, and you will have to send your henchmen to sweep them away. You must keep the water flowing slowly and implement the tactic of boiling frogs in warm water for them.
I can't expect to make money by selling my official position together with my father-in-law-to-be. If I can pocket one hundred thousand taels a year from this deal, it's justifiable. If it's more, I'll really have to punish the court several times...
In comparison, "wild monsters" are more valuable. Once the troubles in the Jifu area are almost solved, I will take the losers to form a group to fight in the wild. It will not be a problem to farm a few million taels at a time.
"Your Highness, Wu Di is waiting outside the palace!"
Yang Jinchao immediately conveyed the content reported by the young eunuch to the crown prince. Others would have been delayed for a while. Wu Gang had just been appointed as the second assistant, so he could not deliberately neglect and procrastinate. He should report it to the crown prince in time.
"My dear, is there anything else you need to inform me about?"
We have already talked about all the things that need to be talked about. If we insist on talking about it, it will become an awkward conversation, even if there is a table with wine and food.
The prince's intention was very clear, which was to summon Wu Zong. After receiving enough benefits, Xue Guoguan wisely planned to retreat: "I would like to inform your highness that the guilty minister has nothing important to report for the time being. If your highness has nothing to do, , the guilty minister must retire first!"
Most of what the prince said to him cannot be known to others. The same thing must be true for what he mentioned to Wu Zong. Rather than being sent off by the prince on his own initiative, it is better to go back first. Anyway, there is something big going on. Tell your family.
Yaoji knew what his prospective father-in-law was thinking, but he couldn't let him leave right away at this time: "There is no need for you to do this if you love me. Aiqing is the first assistant, and Wu is the second assistant. To serve the court, we must work together. Let's meet here in this palace." , take the lead in communicating, so as to avoid misunderstandings in future affairs! There is no need to mention the word 'criminal minister' anymore, just say 'chen'. Enter the dynasty and declare Wu Zong!"
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, this person was appointed as the Minister of War, but he was unable to take up the post due to illness. As a result, his father was so angry that he was asked to "recuperate well". Historically, he would not be able to get a new job until next year. job.
Wu Di is from Xinghua, Yangzhou. He and Aunt Tian are fellow villagers. Although he was born in the controlled area of Donglin, Wu Di has always been upright and upright, with no stain on his resume. He is also on a par with "Uncle Wild" Zhou Yanru. That's why it gets reused.
"Your Majesty Wu, I would like to pay my respects to His Highness the Crown Prince and wish His Highness..."
The official robe of the second assistant had not yet been delivered. After receiving the order from the chamberlain, Wu Zong hurriedly took a simple bath and then put on the blue and white clothes. Fortunately, it was a new clothes that he had never worn before. There is absolutely no sign of wear or fading on the outside.
Du Yinxi was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and there should be no problems with Wu Zong. Theoretically, he can wear the official robe when he goes to court tomorrow. If he cannot, then I will have to reorganize the "imbecile" group of people in the Ministry of Personnel. Children", find a good place to "help" them improve their IQ.
Wu Di is over 50 years old this year. His temples are white, his forehead is covered with wrinkles, and his face looks old. However, his body shape and steps are very similar to those of an official in his forties. He does not stagger or move, which shows that he is healthy. The condition is quite good. Maybe he pays attention to maintenance and exercise. Historically, he lived to be eighty-one years old, which is indeed unusual.
"Okay, let's get down without any ceremony. This place is no better than the previous one. There are no outsiders present at the moment. Aiqing doesn't need to be so polite. I'll grant you a seat. Xue Aiqing will sit with you!"
When I had to teach this guy a lesson before, he was on his knees. Then when Xue Wanqing's marriage was mentioned, Old Xue Tou stood up to give face to his prospective father-in-law. Now that we have summoned Jisuke, we can all sit down together, lest our bodies really cannot bear it.
Since he wanted to reuse someone, Yaoji naturally wanted to praise him first: "Wu Aiqing is knowledgeable and talented, but in terms of ability, he will definitely be among the top three civil servants in the Ming Dynasty. The previous episode was because his father mistakenly believed Yang Sichang's slander. Wu Aiqing, please don’t worry!”
That's right, it's Yang Sichang again. If this guy hadn't been messing around inside, Wu Zong wouldn't have been in vain for a year.
There is no need to take action yourself. Waiting for Yang Tinglin and Wang Pu to come to Beijing, plus Wu Zong, will be enough to put Yang Sichang to death.
Yang Sichang tricked Lu Xiangsheng to death and offended so many courtiers inside and outside. If Yang Sichang did not die, everyone would be furious.
Wu Di had only heard various rumors about the prince, but he didn't know who he really was. He had to answer carefully when meeting him for the first time: "Your Highness is ridiculous. In fact, the ministers are just working hard to manage the government and doing their jobs with all their heart. The previous time I took care of your Majesty's worries, it was my fault." I am fortunate enough to have His Highness as your holy family today to do my duty, and I will definitely devote myself to it until death!"
When he learned that he was promoted to the position of Second Assistant, Wu Di couldn't help but be happy for a while, and his ambition burned again. When he was hesitating, he remembered that the first assistant in the dynasty was Xue Guoguan, who was said to be unlearned and unskilled, and he couldn't help but feel worried about his future.
Yaoji chuckled and said half-jokingly: "Aiqing cannot die immediately. I still want Aiqing to serve me for twenty or thirty years!"
If this guy really has a lifespan of eighty-one years, then use him for thirty years, give him another year of retirement, and then just go to his grave. How great!
The prince's plan shocked Wu Zong, and he hurriedly raised his hands and said humbly: "Thank you for your highness's love, but I don't dare to expect this!"
Not to mention thirty years, even twenty years as the second assistant, that is a big deal. Even Wen Tiren has never been a pavilion elder for such a long time.
Yaoji waved his hand and said with a smile: "I think that since Ai Qing is a good official, he should be a good official for a long time, so that he can be loyal to the court and benefit the people. Since I took charge of the country, I have widely implemented benevolent policies. If you are a high official of the court, How can we unswervingly implement the decrees of this palace when we are not even familiar with our own government affairs? Now that I have exempted most of the tax burden from the north, I want to station salt fields in the mountains, build many cities, and also tax merchants. Tax, mining tax, sea tax, many government affairs are being carried out at the same time, and we need loyal ministers like Aiqing to come and help me."
Collecting money can be done by the unlearned Xue Guoguan, but the more difficult administration must rely on loyal and capable ministers such as Wu Di, Zhang Guowei, Du Yinxi, and Zuo Maodi. Moreover, the resistance to the promotion of many decrees is extremely high. big.
Wu Di did not dare to comment on things that he did not understand. He could only pick out the familiar ones and said: "What your Highness said is true. I have been away from the court for a long time and am still unaware of the changes. I only know about the increase in commercial tax, mining tax and sea tax." The obstacles imposed by the three taxes are extraordinary, and I hope Your Highness will make plans as soon as possible!"
Wu Di strongly agreed with the substantial reduction of land tax. Under the squeeze of three consecutive years of salary, the farmers had reached the point of misery. If the situation worsened, there would be another revolution.
It's just that the difficulty of levying the three taxes is just as high as that of the three taxes, because the tax targets are a group of guys who are stronger and more dangerous than the farmers. If it were really easy to levy, it would have been done long ago during Tianqi and even Wanli years. The collection amounted to tens of millions.
Wu Di's attitude was still very good. Yao Ji nodded and affirmed: "Don't worry about the difficulty, dear, I know it very well. However, the border is in a critical situation and the military pay is huge. How can I just sit back and wait for death? I have decided to enter the army this year. If it amounts to twenty-five million taels, the country will be in danger if it is small, but if it is large, it will be revived. I have already thought of countermeasures for this, and all I have to do is follow the order."
The current situation in the empire is like this. If you don't have money, you will lose your head. This is true for the people, officials, and the royal family.
