On the way home, Yu Minyue was still scared: "What if I was kidnapped by a kidnapper..."
Then he scolded Qi Tai: "I asked you to hire a few more servants. You said that my father-in-law and second uncle were having a hard time in the country. Send them the money back. Look, if it weren't for the Xue family and your majesty this time, Zhao'er would
He was taken away."
"I never thought that something like this would happen." Qi Tai was naturally very frightened and said with some regret.
"Hire a few more servants when you go back. At least everyone can bring one servant with them when you go out. Zhu'er is getting older, so there must be at least four maids..." Yu Minyue said.
"But, how do you tell dad about such a thing?" Qitai said.
"Tell my father-in-law about the fact that I was almost kidnapped, and my father-in-law will definitely not object. As for my second uncle and my younger siblings, my second uncle's eldest son is four years old and should be enlightened. If I take him to the capital to be enlightened, my second uncle will definitely
Even if you are willing, you won't say anything." Yu Minyue added: "If you are embarrassed to say it, I will say it."
Qitai also loved his daughter and said, "That's it, I'll talk to dad."
"Also," Yu Minyue remembered something again and said: "Zhou'er is already fifteen this year, and it's time to get married. Two years ago, I said I would find him a husband, but there has never been a suitable one. If I don't make a decision this year, I will marry him."
She is about to become an old girl and must make up her mind."
Since the first year of Jianye, they have said that they want to select someone, but they have never been able to select someone: tell their daughter to the families in their hometown. Several outstanding gentry families in their hometown do not have a son of the right age, and Yu Minyue, who comes from a poorer family background, also
She was willing, but Qi Tai was not willing. She wanted to find one among the officials in the capital, but Qi Tai was willing, but Yu Minyue was afraid that she would be too far away from her hometown in the future, so she was unwilling. So she was so picky that she never settled on someone.
"If it really doesn't work, choose a hometown near the capital. Even if the official position is lower, as long as the children are progressing, it will be fine. You should keep an eye on it more." Yu Minyue said to Qitai.
Qitai thought to himself: 'It's hard to find a family like this!' But after all, he was looking for his daughter's in-laws, so he could only say: "I know."
…
…
"Your Majesty, Qi Tai won't tell others that I will follow your Majesty out of the palace, right?" Xiyi said doubtfully. If Qi Tai had told others, there would have been a pile of memorials covering Yunxi's table, and it would have also damaged the reputation of the Xue family.
not good.
"No, although Qi Tai is a bit stubborn, he is not pedantic, and he is tight-lipped and will not talk nonsense; not to mention that Xiyang just saved his daughter today." Yunxi said.
Hearing what Yunxi said, Xiyi felt relieved.
After a while they returned to the palace. Xiyi took out the lantern bought from the lantern market and showed it to Xiyao, then hung it on the door beam.
Siqi had returned to Liang Guogong's mansion yesterday just to go to the lantern market to see the lanterns. Min'er was very envious of this. She also knew that her father had left the palace today, so she clamored to leave the palace, but Yunxi vetoed it.
The next day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was also the last holiday before officially going to court, Yunxi gathered his sister and his only younger brother Yunxi in Beijing to celebrate the festival. For the convenience of Xiyao, he chose the Kunning Palace.
As soon as she sat down, Yunzhi said: "Brother, you took Sister-in-law Xue out of the palace yesterday afternoon. My sister also wanted to go out to watch the lanterns."
"No, there are many people on the Lantern Festival, so I dare not let you leave the palace," Yunxi said. On weekdays, he could allow it, but not on the Lantern Festival.
Yunzhi was used to making this request every year and being rejected every year. She was not angry when she heard this and said: "Then my sister will send someone to buy some lanterns from the lantern market."
"Of course it's okay. There's no need to ask the emperor for instructions." Yunxi said.
"But," Yun Zhi said with a flattering smile: "The monthly money in my sister's hand is not enough, so the emperor will approve dozens of extra coins."
"So I'm waiting for you here, brother. But in addition to your usual monthly money, didn't the emperor also give each of you one hundred guan before the Chinese New Year?"
"That's not enough. It's all spent long ago."
"What did you do to spend so much money?"
"I didn't do much, I just bought some..." Yunzhi rambled on.
"Stop!" Yunxi said: "No wonder you spent all your money so quickly to buy so many things."
"That's all. Brother Huang will give you twenty more coins. But you can't spend it like this again." Yunxi sighed and said.
"Thank you, Brother Huang." Yunzhi said happily.
In order to treat everyone equally, Yunxi gave each of Yunlan and Yunyun twenty guan of money. They were quite surprised and refused. Yunxi said: "Since the emperor has given money for the Lantern Festival, everyone should have it."
, don’t refuse." The two of them accepted.
===================
In a restaurant in the capital, several people who looked like high-ranking officials even though they were not wearing official uniforms were drinking from one cup to another.
But these people were not having fun. One of them said: "Jian Zongxian,..." Before he finished speaking, another person said: "We are so familiar with each other, why are we so polite? Just call us by our names."
"Then I won't be polite." The man smiled and said, "Jian Yi, you have to help me. I will go to court on the 18th and ask the censors to support me after I enter the fold."
"Huang Huai, of course His Majesty agrees with the advice you put forward in Zhezi, but even the late Emperor could not fully implement it, let alone the current Majesty." Jian Yi said.
"I know it too, but some families are too arrogant now. The Chang family is the natal family of Empress Taizong Wen, the Xu family is the family that the late emperor personally promised to grant three generations of county princes, and the Cao family is the family that married the princess. All three of them are cautious.
, this family is so rampant, as the governor of Yingtian, I must impeach them." Huang Huai said.
Jian Yi thought for a moment and felt that the emperor would not like the many illegal things done by these nobles in the capital. I am afraid that he wanted to punish them but had no excuse, so he said: "These nobles should really be punished. Mr. Xu, Chang
Of course, Mr. Gong and Mr. Li are both good, but the children in the family are too shameful."
"I asked the censor I know well to prepare it in advance and write a letter to agree with you after you submit the statement."
"There must be at least twenty or thirty people." Huang Huai said.
"How is this possible? After His Majesty ascended the throne, he has increased the responsibilities of patrolling censors. There are no more than 40 censors in the capital at the same time among the 110 censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. How can I find 20 or 30 people to respond to you? Ten people at most
." Jian Yidao.
"It doesn't matter, just ten people, as long as they can create a trend." Huang Huai said.
"The officials of my Yingtianfu Yamen have also been harmed by the powerful for many years. Counting them, there are more than twenty people, which is quite a lot."
Huang Huai thought for a moment and felt that it should be enough to attract the emperor's attention. He was relieved and exchanged cups with Jian Yi.
