The old man, who was more tolerant of Huang Qiong's mother's worries, smiled nonchalantly and said, "Don't worry about the son you gave me. He knows what he does. Although the woman beside him is A little more, but if it is said that he is really greedy for wine and sex, I still don't believe it. The children you teach are not the kind of people with short-sighted eyes. Let's not worry about him. "
At the old man's relief, the mother just smiled lightly and said nothing more. In fact, as a medical expert, how could she not know some things? What she was worried about was not Huang Qiong, whether she would be drained by wine and sex. It's about what those women will be like after being tortured by him. At the same time, she felt a little sorry for Situ Huanshuang. Which woman in this world is willing to share her husband with so many people?
Just these words, how could I say them in front of the old man? Forget it, the child is older than the mother. This son has been very aware of what he is doing since he was a child. Most of those women were really pitiful people, so he wouldn't treat them badly by following him. Moreover, most of these women were from ordinary backgrounds and did not have strong family support, so he must have avoided a lot of trouble.
Huang Qiong, who fled the teahouse in a hurry with her four daughters, had no idea that the old man and his mother would still have such a conversation after he left. Huang Qiong, who originally planned to go back to the palace directly, remembered the old man's leisurely and contented appearance in the tea house when he left the tea house. Suddenly I felt a little angry. Why is the old man still in office and dumping all his responsibilities and everything on himself?
He himself is carefree and happy, wandering around? Even though his mother had been in the cold palace for eighteen years, in order to compensate her, he went too far. At this time, Huang Qiong was a little rebellious, although she didn't dare to wander around on the street. But he remembered Zhang Qiaoer, whom he hadn't seen for a month, and his son. After hesitating for a moment, he took the four girls to Zhang Qiaoer's home.
Seeing Huang Qiong's arrival, although Zhang Qiaoer seemed stable on the surface, the joy in his eyes could not be concealed. After she followed Huang Qiong to Beijing, Huang Qiong secretly visited her from time to time. After she gave birth, Huang Qiong quietly came to visit the mother and son that night and stayed with her all night. But after all, Huang Qiong's identity was there, so he couldn't stay with her all day long.
It has been another month since I took the child to the palace on the full moon and I have not seen Huang Qiong. Now he is alone in Beijing with his child, and he gave birth to a son. During this confinement period, I didn’t even come to visit him a few times. Zhang Qiaoer is a woman who is strong on the outside and soft on the inside, but she feels a little disappointed in her heart. When she entered the palace last time, the Crown Princess was rewarded with many things.
But no matter how many things there are, how can they represent people? How could Zhang Qiaoer not be happy when Huang Qiong came to see her today? And when Huang Qiong saw that her breasts had become plumper after giving birth, a woman who had grown bigger in preparation for breastfeeding, she couldn't help but feel a fire in her heart. After playing with the child for a while with Zhang Qiaoer, the ladies took the child away. Huang Qiong, who had long been unable to restrain himself, hugged the woman.
While he kept kissing the woman's small mouth, he kept doing evil with one hand and whispered in Zhang Qiaoer's ear: "What a Qiaoer, I really miss you these days. Ever since After Qiaoer got that little bastard in her belly, I haven't been close to Qiaoer for a few days. Today, Qiaoer has to serve me well to ease my pain of lovesickness."
Huang Qiong, who was getting better and better at this, soon tormented Zhang Qiaoer until he was as soft as a pool of water. She snuggled into Huang Qiong's arms and kept kissing back. Huang Qiong's hand, which was originally pressed in certain places and still resisted, gradually allowed him to do whatever he wanted. This time, together with Erluo and the He sisters, the fight didn't calm down until dusk.
After Huang Qiong completely relaxed. I also know that Huang Qiong and Zhang Qiaoer have not seen each other for a long time. And Zhang Qiaoer was alone in the capital with several children. Even when she gave birth to the child, the father was not with her, so she must have felt a little sad. So Qing Luo, who knew the relationship between the two, took the other three girls with her, took the initiative to get dressed and left in the name of seeing the child.
After the four girls left obediently, Huang Qiong, who hugged Zhang Qiaoer who was as obedient as a cat, hugged her and said, "Qiaoer, these days have been really hard for you. The day Qiaoer gave birth, I really wanted to fly over and be by Qiaoer's side. Unfortunately, I couldn't help myself. At that moment, I really wanted to take Qiaoer into the palace regardless of the eyes of the world."
"I am sorry for Qiao'er, and also sorry for our son. When Qiao'er gave birth to a child, I was not able to be with Qiao'er. And our son was originally at least a prince. But now he is just a prince. I can live in this courtyard, and I can’t even bear my last name. When I think of the suffering that Qiaoer has endured for me, my heart feels as painful as a knife."
Regarding the apology in Huang Qiong's words, Zhang Qiaoer, who was nestled in Huang Qiong's arms, shook his head: "No, I have never blamed you. When I met you, all this was my fate. I have one daughter and two husbands. , it is a violation of women's ethics. If you enter the palace, how can you face the people in the world? It's just that he was not in the capital during the birth, and you couldn't come to accompany me, so I still felt a little uncomfortable. "
"That little guy tortured me for a whole day when he was born. Counting him, I am already the mother of three children, but I didn't expect that this child would be the most difficult to give birth to. I felt so painful that I almost fainted several times. It was really I hate you a little. But after seeing the nannies, nannies, and gifts you prepared in advance, I still feel very warm in my heart, knowing that you have never forgotten me."
"I don't ask for anything else. I just ask that you can visit our mother and son occasionally. As for entering the palace, I have never thought about it. My husband had this kind of thing with you, and gave birth to a son for you. You have already brought shame to him. If your husband enters the palace with you, how can he have the face to face the world? As the prince of the dynasty, who accepts his wife, how do you have the face to face the world? people?"
"As for this child, although he is your flesh and blood, as a mother, I really hope that he can stay with me like this and live a peaceful life. He cannot enter the heavenly home. For him or me, It’s a good thing. Let’s do it this way. It’s good for everyone. As long as you can come and see our mother and son in your spare time, we’ll be satisfied.”
As Zhang Qiaoer finished speaking, the woman's face was already filled with tears. At this time, Zhang Qiaoer was like crazy, kissing Huang Qiong's mouth desperately. In response to Zhang Qiaoer's thoughtful words, Huang Qiong, who knew that he owed this woman a lot, once again hugged the woman tightly in his arms. This time Huang Qiong didn't call anyone else, he just stayed with the woman alone.
Zhang Qiao'er was alone. Even if she was in love, Huang Qiong's opponent was still there. Even this time, Huang Qiong couldn't enjoy it even if he used it in other places. On the other hand, I couldn't even move a finger in the end, and my mouth was a little numb. But the woman, who really felt sorry for Huang Qiong and was trying to enjoy herself with her mouth open, hurriedly held her in her arms and said, "Qiao'er, don't be like this."
"Don't worry, Qiao'er. I will definitely take time to come and visit you mother and son. Qiao'er, can you come to the palace to stay for a few days at any time? Sister Cai and the others also miss you and your children very much. We will have a long time in the future. Stay here, don't rush for this moment. Qiaoer's gentleness is as gentle as water, and I will never forget it in my life. I will never get tired of Qiaoer, just because I am afraid that Qiaoer will get tired of me one day."
As soon as the crazy energy passed, Zhang Qiaoer, who was already exhausted, felt as if all his strength had been drained away from him. Facing Huang Qiong's affectionate smile, he snuggled into Huang Qiong's arms and fell asleep. Huang Qiong, who noticed that Zhang Qiaoer was a little sad and knew why she was sad, did not leave immediately. Instead, he held Zhang Qiaoer until he couldn't hold him back any longer, then he got up and returned to the palace.
On this day, although Huang Qiong accidentally met the old man and his mother, Huang Qiong also gained some insights from the old man's words. Over the years of his service as king, the old man has always sought stability in his governance, which led to the accumulation of various shortcomings during Lizong's reign and intensified during Sejong's reign. During his many years in office, instead of diminishing, they have become worse. is increasingly prominent.
Especially in terms of official administration and annual income, it can be said to be increasingly difficult. But after all, the old man has been the king for more than twenty years, and his perspective on problems is still quite accurate. The old man's reminders that day awakened a lot of things in Huang Qiong. Especially when it comes to hiring people, even though his own vision in selecting people is not satisfactory, they are still somewhat inferior. But this reminder hits the key point.
Huang Qiong, who understood the old man's reminder, thought it was right. The reason why he didn't move was because he was waiting for Fu Yuanshan to take office. After Fu Yuanshan officially took office, Huang Qiong made a drastic move. From each department in the capital, a large number of officials of the fifth, sixth and seventh grades were selected and served as magistrates, magistrates and county magistrates. Among the Jinshi who originally followed Fu Yuanshan to Shanxi, only three of them were withdrawn.
The rest were all transferred to local posts and took over a number of state magistrates and county magistrates. Especially in Jinyang Prefecture, which was the first choice for pilot projects, almost all the magistrates and magistrates, as well as the magistrates and counties in the states and counties under its jurisdiction were replaced. All of them were replaced by young officials selected by Huang Qiong personally from various departments. As well as the new Jinshi who went to Shanxi with Fu Yuanshan after passing the Jinshi last year.
Including other pilot prefectures selected by various channels, they are also handled in this way. In addition to Jinyang Prefecture, other prefectures were selected as pilot prefectures, such as Huai'an Prefecture on Lianghuai Road, Raozhou Prefecture on Jiangnan West Road, and Jiangling Prefecture on Huguang North Road. Even the prefects and tongzhi were replaced. Most of them are selected by the deputy envoys of various roads, or officials affiliated with the Transportation Department, or directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel.
From the fourth rank or among the fourth rank officials, Huang Qiong personally selected them carefully and then released them. The state and county officials selected from the capital were all selected in strict accordance with Huang Qiong's requirements. They are all under thirty-five years old and officials of fifth to eighth rank. Huang Qiong did not require that he must be a Jinshi or an official, a civil servant, or a graduate of the Imperial College. Anyone could be selected as long as he personally drafted the topic.
The state capitals Huang Qiong chose were all places where there was no clan enfeoffment. There may be some clan land, but the amount will not be too much. Huai'an Mansion was originally the fiefdom of King Yong, but the old man has decided to abolish the enfeoffment system, and King Yong has no possibility of becoming a vassal. As for Jiangling Mansion, it has always been the choke point connecting Huguang North Road and Liangchuan, so it has never been closed to the clan.
As for Raozhou Prefecture, it seems that the banks of Poyang Lake are always a land of abundant fish and rice. It was also the largest source of wealth for the imperial court in Jiangnan, apart from the East and West Second Roads in Jiangnan and the two Zhejiang provinces. Therefore, there have never been clan divisions. In the early years of Sejong's reign, he even issued an imperial edict. No clan is allowed to occupy land in Raozhou Prefecture, Wuchang Prefecture on Huguang North Road, and Yuezhou and Changde Prefectures on Huguang South Road.
