Yuan Feng was stunned: "It's Concubine Rong, what?"
"Before he ascended the throne, he lived a very frugal life, with only one wife and two concubines. After the yellow robe was added and the women in the former Han palace were dismissed, there were still only one concubine and two concubines, the empress, the Xiao concubine and the Shu concubine. It was not until the tenth year of God's blessing that the recruitment of new concubines began.
Concubine, there is no such thing as Concubine Rong, are you mistaken?"
"It's not wrong. I remember the black and white words clearly." Yuan Feng took out the files from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and showed them to Liu Ying'er. Liu Ying'er took them and looked at the cover carefully before saying: "The files from the Ministry of Internal Affairs are good, but
It's not from the Shang Gongsi, but from the Clothing Bureau." Then he opened it and read it, then closed it with a snap. His delicate little brows were furrowed, and without saying a word, he stomped upstairs and started rummaging through the boxes.
After flipping through more than a dozen boxes, Liu Ying'er's brows widened. She stood up and patted the dust on her hands. She put her hands on her hips and said with a smile, "Yuan Feng, you found a treasure."
Yuan Feng wondered: "How can you see it?"
"This is an unique copy, the only one in the world. I just looked through it. The files of Shang Gongsi were only recorded in the tenth year of Tianyou. There were no records before. It makes sense, because the emperor started from
It took ten years to expand the harem, but judging from the format of the document in your hand, it doesn’t look like it’s fake.”
"What do you want to say?"
"This dossier is authentic. It was saved because its cover was wrong. I think the other dossiers were probably destroyed."
"Why destroy?"
"How do I know? The palace has been a dirty place since ancient times. Maybe someone wants to hide some ulterior secrets."
Yuan Feng nodded and looked at the file in his hand thoughtfully.
…
The work is still going on. The clerks of the Economic and Economic Affairs Bureau have cleaned the library, stored various books and volumes in categories, and labeled them for easy search. They also dug out several mouse nests and got a few cats to raise.
In terms of precautions in the building, fire extinguishing facilities such as water tanks, sand buckets, and water pipes have also been updated.
Master Zhan Huang Zihua specially came to inspect the Bureau of Economic Affairs. When he saw the new look of the Bureau, he praised it on the spot. Yuan Feng was praised, and the faces of the junior officials were also bright. After Master Zhan left, Yuan Feng spent his own money to call the Bureau.
After setting up two banquet tables, he came in and invited his subordinates to eat and drink. It was the first time for the junior officials to have wine with their superiors after working in the Bureau of Economic Affairs for so long. They were naturally very happy and their faces were red with wine.
After drinking the wine, Yuan Feng asked about the origin of the Bureau of Economics. Naturally, the clerks rushed to show off to Master Xima. After drinking too much wine, the conversation became thicker. Yuan Feng kept leading the topic, and he mentioned it to the palace.
On the historians who recorded the emperor’s daily life,
When the Zhou Dynasty was first established, all the systems were imperfect. The daily life of the emperor was handled by personnel from the Ministry of Rites. Later, a system of historians for internal government management was established, and eunuchs were appointed. However, this was already three years ago.
"In our economic bureau, there are some files with mixed numbers from the early years of Tianyou. If you want to ask these old historians for advice, where should you go?" Yuan Feng asked seemingly casually.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed, saying that it happened twenty years ago after all, and the old people back then were dead and retired, and it was hard to find them anymore. Yuan Feng knew that he couldn't get anything more out of them, so he switched at the right time.
topic.
Sitting next to Yuan Feng was Liu Ying'er, who was dressed as a book girl. She didn't talk much, and her big eyes were wandering around. She didn't drink and only ate food. She couldn't reach her to stand up. The junior officials didn't dare to bully her for her young age. Master Xima
He was young and promising, and his school boy also had a bright future. In a few years, it would not be difficult to become a low-level clerk or other high-level official, so everyone took turns to toast, and Liu Ying'er didn't shirk away. He smiled and said, "Come on."
She refused, and after a few glasses of strong wine, she became drunk. Yuan Feng was stunned and couldn't stop her, so he had to find an excuse to repel her.
After they had had enough wine and food, they each went back. When Yuan Feng returned to the custody room, he saw Liu Ying'er sitting in his chair reading a book. His big eyes were bright and she was not even half drunk.
"Aren't you drunk?" Yuan Fengqi asked.
"No way, I don't like drinking liquor. I just deal with them with water." Liu Ying'er smiled proudly.
"It's getting late, let me take you back home."
"Okay, well, I'd like to borrow some books to read." Liu Ying'er pointed to the ground. There was a rattan box full of books. It turned out that the little girl had been thinking about this and not Master Xima.
Ken, the files of the Economic Affairs Bureau cannot be borrowed.
"Go ahead and take a look." Yuan Feng waved his hand boldly. The Bureau of Economics and Economics is now his own. It doesn't matter if he gets a few boxes of books and goes out to check them out.
Liu Ying'er left happily. Yuan Feng took her to the vicinity of the Prime Minister's Mansion before leaving. Liu Ying'er had already changed her clothes, and the boy from the ramen shop helped her carry the bookcase and sneaked towards the side door.
It was already dark, and it was not in line with the image of a lady to come home so late. Fortunately, her father had to deal with many things, so he came home very late every day, and sometimes even stayed in the government office. That's why Liu Ying'er was so bold.
When I walked to the door and was about to knock, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Miss Liu, Xiaosheng has been waiting here for a long time."
Liu Ying'er was frightened. When she looked back, she saw a scholar in a green shirt standing by the roadside with catkins covering his shoulders. He must have been waiting for a long time. It was getting late and his face was a little blurry. Liu Ying'er recognized him.
Unable to figure out who it was, he tilted his head and looked at him, blinking.
"Young student Yang Feng is a disciple of Mr. Right Prime Minister. He came to visit the house the day before yesterday." Seeing Liu Ying'er's confused face, the man hurriedly introduced himself.
"Oh, I remembered, you are the new top scholar, come to see my father, go through the main door." Liu Ying'er then remembered this person.
"The young student has been sent to the county magistrate, and he will leave tomorrow. The reason for coming here is..." Yang Feng was a little speechless, and it was difficult to say anything that was too ambiguous.
The side door had been opened. Liu Ying'er smiled at Yang Feng and pointed to the front door: "Don't wait here, go to the front door." After saying that, he walked in and the side door was closed and locked.
Yang Feng walked melancholy for a few steps, sighed, and finally left.
Liu Ying'er sneaked into her study. The maid Lanxiang had been waiting for a long time. When she saw her coming in, she hurriedly said: "Miss, I have been looking for you several times."
"Ah, my father is back? Why is it so early today?"
"Yes, I heard that the new No. 1 scholar was released from the county magistrate and came to the house to say goodbye. The master wanted the young lady to come out to meet the guests. I didn't know that young lady, you were playing so late today..."
Liu Ying'er's face immediately dropped: "It's over, it's over, I'm in trouble this time."
Lan Xiang shrugged her nose: "Miss, were you drinking outside? Let me know that I have to break your legs."
"Lan Xiang, you said the number one scholar came to your house today?" Liu Ying'er suddenly thought of an important question and quickly interrupted.
"Yes, he came at noon. The master even kept him in the house for a meal. The eldest young master also accompanied him. He didn't leave until the afternoon."
Liu Ying'er was silent. The new top scholar had been waiting outside the mansion for several hours. It turned out that he was not waiting for his father, but for himself. This was not a good thing.
