"My husband is back home!"
With a loud shout, the door of Su Mansion opened. The guards and servants cheered up, lined up solemnly to welcome him, and walked in through the door among the groveling figures. The ceremony of returning to the mansion was extremely solemn, and the mansion became busy immediately, preparing to serve Xianggong Su.
Su Fengji's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and his arrogance is also getting bigger and bigger. Now that he is the assistant prime minister, Bi is helping the young master, and he is even more energetic. The Su Mansion is large in size and luxuriously decorated. If a list of luxury residences in Tokyo were made, it would definitely be in the top ten.
There were more than 120 people in the entire Su Mansion, including Su Fengji's wives, concubines, children, stewards, guards, and servants.
This number, however, does not seem to be much. However, we must know that in the entire imperial city now, in addition to the imperial guards, there are less than 300 chamberlains and maids serving Liu Chengyou and his family.
Most of the former palace maids in the Jin Palace and the beauties and concubines that Shi Chonggui painstakingly collected became Yelu Deguang's trophies. After being put to sleep, they were taken northward, where they either died in the war or were scattered among the people. Those who were rescued after the war were also rewarded by Liu Chengyou to marry meritorious soldiers.
Su Fengji didn't seem to be aware of this and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"My husband seems to be in a good mood?" A concubine asked as she diligently helped Su Fengji take off his court clothes. Seeing that his raised beard seemed to be smiling a little.
"The prime minister laughed at Yang Bin, who was arrogant and conceited. He thought he was from the late emperor's dynasty, and the late emperor was very tolerant of him. I don't know the principle of an emperor and his courtiers. When the emperor was not in charge of the country, the prime minister knew that we, Is it difficult to deal with young officials?" Su Fengji laughed, his tone full of schadenfreude: "I have already lost the emperor's heart, and now I have offended the queen mother. I really don't know how to live or die!"
The concubine became even more curious: "Then what did Mr. Yang do to offend the Queen Mother?"
Upon hearing this, Su Fengji's smile faded, his face was straight, and he tilted his head towards the concubine: "This is a major matter in the temple, and women like you can't inquire about it!"
"Yes Yes......"
Seeing the frightened look on his concubine's face, Su Fengji was very satisfied. He glanced at her plump figure, and there was a perverse smile on her lips. She reached out and grabbed a handful of her round and perky buttocks, eliciting a cry of tenderness. cry.
His new favorite was originally the concubine of an honorable minister in Tokyo. For this woman, he ruined the family of an old minister of the later Jin Dynasty. Women are better off than others.
After relaxing a little to relieve the fatigue after discussing politics, the servants in the hall have already placed dishes on the dining table, including crystal wonton, dumplings, strange beans, soup chicken, quail bone mince, and even a plate of wild fox meat. . This is only for Su Fengji alone. The dishes are extremely rare and good, and the expense is extravagant, which can be seen.
Liu Chengyou's frugal behavior in the palace seemed to have little warning to people like them.
"Today's dumplings were good." After eating, Su Fengji wiped his mouth with a wet towel woven from lake silk and commented.
"Tomorrow, the villain will order someone to make another portion?" the steward who was responsible for serving the food immediately asked smartly.
Su Fengji immediately shook his head: "Don't eat too much of this delicacy. If you eat too much, you'll get tired! Try something else!"
"yes!"
Glancing at the "leftovers", the soup chicken that had not been touched with chopsticks was still steaming. Su Fengji casually waved his hand and ordered: "Don't say that I have no kindness. Just like before, give it to the beggars in Tokyo." Son."
"Yes!" The steward who was waiting on the side responded cautiously.
Su Fengji had always been "kindhearted" and took out the leftover food and clothing in the house to reward the poor and beggars. However, Su Fengji's daily food and clothing were all rare good things for the servants in the mansion.
Previously, a steward who was responsible for distributing food secretly brought leftover food home to his wife and children. After doing so several times, others discovered it and sued Su Fengji. When Su Fengji heard about it, he ordered his people to take the steward to the courtyard, break his legs and feet in front of all the servants in the mansion, and throw him out of the mansion...
Since then, no one in the mansion dared to discount Su Fengji's orders.
Later, Su Fengji stepped into the study. Su Fengji's study is very large, luxuriously furnished, very grand, and has a large collection of books. Many of them were books that he had painstakingly robbed and used to decorate the facade. Su Fengji had some talent in literary matters, but he was not steeped in the art.
"See you, Sir!" A man wearing a soft robe and brocade fur bowed respectfully after Su Fengji sat on the main seat.
This person's name is Li Cheng, and he was brought to Tokyo by Su Fengji from Jinyang. He has been helping him manage both the inside and outside of the house, and the properties in the two capitals and even the entire Central Plains.
"No courtesy." Su Fengji said lightly and asked directly: "How is the mansion and manor in Xijing, and how is the land in its original condition, farming?"
Li Cheng still had the dust of being a servant, so he guessed that he had just arrived in Tokyo. When he heard about it, he immediately reported: "After inspection by my subordinates, everything in the Xijing mansion is fine. For the spring plowing, several stewards have organized manpower for the plowing, but there are too many people." There is too little land, and there is too much land to be busy all at once.”
Su Fengji frowned immediately and scolded: "Isn't there anyone who doesn't know how to do this?"
Li Cheng immediately explained: "The imperial court ordered local governments to set up farmland, provide farming, farm tools, and lease cattle. If there are refugees, they have to register with the government. Luoyang really can't recruit people."
"The imperial court is setting up farmland, but no one can use the truth!" Su Fengji muttered: "It is said that farmland affairs in various states are not going smoothly, so there is such an accident in Luoyang?"
"Li Congmin stayed in Xijing, and under the imperial edict, he personally promoted the farming affairs!"
"These remnants of the Later Tang Dynasty should be killed to eliminate future troubles!" Su Fengji said coldly.
Li Congmin was the nephew of Li Siyuan, Emperor Mingzong of the later Tang Dynasty. He was very resourceful and good at riding and shooting. He had high qualifications. He was a powerful man and was worshiped by Liu Zhiyuan as the guard in Xijing. Su Fengji tried his best to kill Xu Guogong and Li Congyi before, but failed. This time, the anger was directed at Li Congmin.
"There are some people who have escaped recently, and I have ordered people to keep a close watch on them!"
After hearing this, Su Fengji immediately became angry: "Catch all those who escaped and cut off their limbs!"
"If it weren't for the truth, they would have starved to death last year!" Su Fengji scolded: "They are really untouchables and ungrateful!"
Facing Su Fengji's scolding, Li Cheng echoed from the side and said, "Most of those people fled to live in government settlements. If the government cooperates, it will be much easier."
"Just go and arrest them!" Su Fengji said, "Are there any blind people who dare to stop my Su family?"
"That's natural. My husband is the prime minister. Who dares not to give him face?" Li Cheng immediately flattered.
"For the remaining untouchables, put iron chains on them and see how they can escape!" After thinking about it, Su Fengji ordered again.
"Yes, I will make arrangements later."
"By the way, Wang, aren't you still willing to submit?" Su Fengji suddenly asked.
Li Cheng couldn't help but show some helplessness on his face, and he cupped his hands and said: "Ms. sir, this woman is too strong-willed. My subordinates tried their best and still refused to leave the palace. The previous official issued an order again, and no one was allowed to harass her. Mother, son, subordinates, etc., there is really nothing they can do!"
"Trash!" Su Fengji scolded, and then he stroked his beard, with a sinister color flashing in his eyes: "If you don't understand current affairs, do you really think that an official's casual order can protect them for life?"
"Mr. sir." Li Cheng called out cautiously.
"Say!" Su Fengji glanced at him.
"Although Mrs. Wang is still pretty, she is over forty and she is a concubine of the previous dynasty. Isn't it inappropriate..."
"What do you know!" Su Fengji scolded harshly. Then he slowly thought about it: "It seems that we need to find a way to find out the truth."
After Su Fengji thought about it for a while and came to his senses, Li Cheng said carefully: "There is one more thing that needs to be reported to Xianggong. When my subordinates were in Luoyang, they heard that Li Yu and Li Long, the younger brothers of the Crown Prince and Grand Tutor Li Song, were complaining in the public. People say, Mr. Li, you are taking away the Li family property."
