With a loud shout, the gate of Su Mansion opened. The guards and servants cheered up and lined up solemnly to greet them. Among the groveling figures, they stepped through the door. The ceremony of returning to the mansion was extremely grand. He also started busy immediately, preparing to serve Mr. Su.
Su Fengji's official position is getting bigger and bigger, and his arrogance is also getting bigger and bigger. Now he is the assistant prime minister, assisting the young master, and he is even more high-spirited. Su's mansion is not small in size, and it is luxuriously decorated. If it were listed as a luxurious mansion in Tokyo must 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 that large. However, one must know that in the entire imperial city, in addition to the imperial guards, there are less than three hundred eunuchs and palace 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 carried northward, where they either died in the war or dispersed among the people. Those who were rescued after the war were also rewarded by Liu Chengyou as marrying 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. He was arrogant and conceited. He thought it was 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 his concubine: "This is an important matter in the temple, and women like you can't inquire about it!"
"Yes Yes......"
Seeing the frightened look on the concubine's face, Su Fengji was very satisfied. He glanced at her plump figure, and there was a perverted 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 for others.
After relaxing a little to relieve the fatigue after discussing the affairs, the servants in the hall have already placed the food table with vegetables, 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 luxurious, 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 delicious food. 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 gave the leftover clothes and food in the mansion to the poor and beggars. However, Su Fengji's daily food and clothing were a rare good thing for the servants in the mansion.
thing.
Previously, there was a steward who was in charge of distributing food and secretly brought leftover food home to his wife and children. He did this several times and was discovered by others, so he reported it to Su Fengji. When Su Fengji heard about it, he ordered the steward to be taken to the courtyard in front of all the servants in the house.
In front of him, his legs and feet were broken and he was thrown out of the house...
Since then, no one in the mansion dared to discount Su Fengji's orders.
A little later, Su Fengji stepped into the study. Su Fengji's study was very large, luxuriously decorated, very grand, and had a lot of books. Many of them were books that he had painstakingly looted and used to decorate the facade.
.Su Fengji had some talent in literary matters, but he was not a man 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 the affairs inside and outside the government, as well as the properties in the two capitals and even the entire Central Plains.
"No courtesy." Su Fengji said lightly and asked directly: "How is the Xijing mansion, the manor, and the original land, how is the farming?"
Li Cheng still had the dust of being a servant, so he was expected to have 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 spring plowing, several stewards have organized manpower for the plowing, but there are too many people."
It’s too little, but there’s too much land, so I can’t 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 establish farmland, provide farming, farm tools, and lease cattle. If there are refugees, they all 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 smooth, so there is such an accident in Luoyang?"
"Li Congmin stayed in Xijing, and under the imperial edict, he personally carried out 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 good at riding and archery and had high qualifications. He was a powerful man and was worshiped by Liu Zhiyuan as the retainer in Xijing. Previously, Su Fengji tried his best to kill Xu Guogong Li Congyi, but failed. This time, it was
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 arrange it later."
"By the way, Wang, aren't you still willing to submit?" Su Fengji suddenly asked.
Li Cheng couldn't help showing 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 previous official issued an order not to be harassed.
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: "You don't know the current affairs, do you really think that a casual order from the officials can protect them for life?"
"Mr. sir." Li Cheng called out cautiously.
"Say!" Su Fengji glanced at him.
"Although 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 him 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 Mr. 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."
