Chapter 705: Ignorance of small righteousness becomes great loyalty
Daiwangfu
The sky has cleared up, the wind is refreshing, and the moon is shining. Next to the palace's unique landscape pavilions, everyone is full of joy. There are women and maids, and they are bowing to the moon.
Huidao also stood in the courtyard and looked up at the bright moon, and couldn't help but smile.
"Master, you are laughing by yourself again." Tao Tong couldn't help but said, "Is it really a good thing that makes you so happy?"
Then he muttered: "Isn't it because the acting king has a son?"
Daotong's words made Huidao shake his head.
"You, you haven't made any progress lately." Hui Dao said helplessly as he poked Dao Tong's forehead with his finger. Now is the critical time for the king. Whether he has this son or not makes a big difference.
Hui Dao understood the thoughts of his Taoist boy, and felt that the crown prince's pregnancy was not something that happened in just one or two days. Could it be that he couldn't tell that the crown prince was pregnant with the crown prince?
It’s easy to test someone else’s fetus, but this is the palace, how can we detect it?
However, the Taoist boy is not old yet, he is just a teenager, and his cultivation is limited. There are still many things he does not understand, which is understandable, so he touched his head and listened to the Taoist boy murmur again, "I have done a lot of homework."
She was in a good mood: "Huai Jie, you are still young and don't understand."
Huai Jie didn't speak, just squinting his eyes slightly. In the past, the real person was always worried. Even if he was teaching, he wouldn't have such a casual tone with ridicule. Instead, his words would be more serious and thoughtful, even with a hint of sadness.
Now the real person has finally relieved half of his burden, feels lighter, and is naturally less pessimistic about things and people.
"Master's sad wish, I hope I can also contribute something!" Tao Tong's eyes warmed, he looked towards the main courtyard and bowed sincerely.
"I hope your son will be safe and grow up healthy."
"I hope that there will be successors to the Prince's Palace and the population will be prosperous."
"I hope the master will be full of hope and no longer feel depressed all the time."
Main courtyard
The birth of King Dai's legitimate son, a natural heir, is really a big event. Su Ziji was talking to the female doctor with a slightly sullen face, but the joy in the corners of his eyes and brows could not be suppressed. The female doctor had seen this situation too many times, and she could still
Report the situation to Su Ziji seriously.
"Your Majesty, the princess has always been in good health. This birth was a near miss. She is no longer seriously ill now. Just rest."
At this point, she paused and reminded seriously: "It's just that the little prince was born a little early and has some congenital defects. You must pay more attention to it in the past few days."
After talking about the precautions, naturally someone took notes carefully.
Su Ziji asked: "How is the child?"
The female doctor was established during the reign of Emperor Shizu of Wei Dynasty and was dedicated to women's medicine. Dazheng followed it. At this time, he replied: "The situation is very good, and it is also very healthy."
"Okay!" Su Ziji took a deep breath and stood up: "Thank you sir."
Sir is an honorific title, and it can also be used by women. It is really rare for the Dai Wang to say this. He listened to the Dai King and continued to give instructions: "This time the mother and child are safe, sir, and I have contributed a lot to it. I will reward you with fifty taels of gold."
The female doctor is a well-known doctor in the field. Most of the nearby dignitaries will invite her to the birth, but she can't help but show joy. Fifty taels of gold, according to the current calculation of one tael of gold equal to twelve taels of silver, is six hundred taels. This is a huge reward.
!
Although it had long been expected that the princess would be rewarded for successfully giving birth to the heir apparent, the female doctor was still very happy to receive so much.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
Su Ziji said again: "The rewards for the people in the mansion, including the stewards, captains, and Wen Po, are ten taels each, the deputy stewards and deputy captains are each eight taels, and the remaining people are given five taels to three taels.
Receive rewards according to level, everyone has a share, and no one can be left out."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"
In an instant, the servants in front of them all reacted, and they all accepted the order and received the reward. The official silver was of high quality, ranging from ten taels to three taels. Everyone had a share. Naturally, they cheered and smiled happily, and presented themselves to Su.
Ziji saluted and thanked him repeatedly.
And as this order spread, the atmosphere in the Prince Dai's Mansion suddenly became more lively, and everything was filled with a happy atmosphere.
In the corridor, wild people walked in a hurry, and everyone they met greeted them respectfully.
As "Mr. Lu" who is deeply trusted by King Dai, the wild Taoist is respected in King Dai's palace, but the main thing that can really be respected is his eyes.
Some people say privately that wild Taoists have a pair of eyes that can distinguish between good and evil and can help Dai Wang select those who are loyal to Dai Wang.
But this is only said occasionally, but not many people believe it.
I heard someone mention this before, and I just smiled at that time, but I knew in my heart that although he did not have such a pair of eyes gifted by God, his years of wandering around the world and taking care of gang affairs really made him bright.
bright.
The method is even more familiar when used to investigate people in the house and can be completed quickly.
At this time, he was walking towards the main courtyard, holding a roll of paper in his sleeve, which contained the results of everyone he was ordered to investigate.
On the way, seeing everyone cheering, he sneered secretly.
When I walked to the entrance of the main courtyard, I saw several people surrounding the king to show their hospitality. A trace of ridicule flashed in their eyes, but they did not come forward.
At this time, Luo Jiang came out from inside and gently tipped his forehead to King Dai. After receiving the signal, King Dai stood up and entered the house.
As soon as we entered, the elegant fragrance lingering in the main room that was temporarily used as the delivery room, the original blood, water, and dirt were all gone.
"What is this fragrance?" Su Ziji paused and asked, the fragrance cannot be arbitrary.
"This incense is a sleeping pillow incense. It can calm the mind, calm the mind, and keep the body healthy. It is often used by the powerful people in the capital." Luo Jiang explained carefully: "It is more suitable for the cultivation of pregnant women."
Su Ziji nodded lightly, the elegant and fragrant fragrance was endless, and the smell of blood was faint and inaudible. He thought to himself that there was indeed some trick. At this time, Ye Buhui, who was weak and weak after giving birth, was inexplicably moved when he saw that the king did not shy away from visiting.
Have to struggle to get up.
"Don't move, just lie down." Su Ziji stepped forward and got closer to the bed. Luo Jiang had already brought a round stool and was waiting for the king to sit down. He spoke to Ye Buhui, who had made great contributions to the longevity of the palace, and handed it to him.
Swaddled.
The face of the swaddled baby could not be seen, but the connection of blood made Su Ziji feel sincere joy. The joy of becoming a father for the first time lingered in his heart for a long time. In a trance, Su Ziji suddenly remembered that time.
After staring at her for a long time, the pale face in front of him merged with a similar but slightly smaller face.
Back then, when I was at my lowest, I had this stern face. In fact, she was the one delivering cakes and meat every time.
After all the ups and downs and the most difficult times, she never wavered.
Now she has given birth to a son again.
This friendship was so heavy that it made his eyes warm.
"No regrets, thank you for your hard work." Suddenly, Su Ziji said, and everyone could hear that his words were sincere and not false at all.
"It is my honor and my greatest expectation to give birth to a son for my husband." Ye Buhui said, she couldn't say much, she just looked at each other and smiled, and there were thousands of words in it.
Seeing this, the female doctor paused for a while and felt slightly blessed.
Su Ziji had no choice but to get up. This was not only a taboo among the people, but also meant that pregnant women should not be exposed to cold or germs. Entering the hospital just now was already an exception.
"You have a good rest. I'll come see you tomorrow." Su Ziji whispered, and when he saw Ye Buhui closing his eyes, he quietly retreated.
Arriving at the outer courtyard, the bright moon rises into the sky, bathing the garden in soft light. In front of us is a colonnade, which vaguely seems to lead to the past and present.
For a moment, Su Ziji was crazy.
"Lord." After a long moment, he softly interrupted the reminiscence.
"All of you, please step aside." Dai Wangxing turned around and didn't take it seriously. He said to others, who immediately withdrew with low eyebrows.
The wild Taoist felt someone's gaze lingering on him for a moment, but he didn't care.
His position in Dai Wang's palace was not gained by flattery, but by merit and by going through so many hardships with Dai Wang.
When these people encounter trouble, they just want to escape. When the matter is over and everything is fine, they also want to gain a future or even wealth in the heart of the king. How can there be such a beautiful thing in this world?
"How is it?" Su Ziji's eyes did not fall on the wild Taoist, but looked at those who were leaving, and seemed to ask casually.
The wild Taoist took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it over respectfully: "My lord, the people on this are the people who have been shaken in the government."
Su Ziji took it and unfolded it. He didn't say anything for a while and paced slowly in the corridor.
The people above include not only Jianghu and guest officials who were invited with huge sums of money, but also the old man of the Prince's Mansion and his descendants who he personally invited back.
No matter which party, they have never treated them badly, and most of them are even kind to them.
Most of the remaining servants have been with me for some time, and I have always given clear rewards and punishments, and never given many benefits.
But on the night of the siege, these people betrayed his trust.
Perhaps things were developing too fast at that time, and those people didn't have time to report it, so nothing happened.
But it is certain that as long as there is a little delay, someone will jump out.
Although their choice is understandable, it is normal for them to waver when faced with the imperial power of the country, and they can even build a memorial arch where "ignoring small righteousness becomes great loyalty".
However, understanding is understanding, but it is absolutely unacceptable.
"Lord, are you going to kill all of these people?" the wild Taoist asked seriously.
"It's not the right time, and there's too much noise." Su Ziji thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fortunately, Sun Ping hasn't wavered yet, but please comfort me."
He said this, but then he became cold: "These people can't be kept anymore. Zhao Ba will be killed immediately. The remaining wavering people will be demoted to shops and farms outside the city, one by one."
"
"I will never hire you again."
"I understand." The wild Taoist secretly felt that it was a pity that he was relegated to the outside world. Who knows how many years he will die in a few years? With the sentence "never hired", it is not possible to kill them all.
"Sun Ping, Qin Ying, Bo Yan, Luo Jiang!" After Su Ziji finished speaking, he added a few more names: "If you want to see these people, ask them to come immediately."
"Yes." After hearing these names, the wild Taoist knew that these were the people who stood firmly on the side of King Dai that night.
There are not many of them, but they are all loyal.
No matter what you say about your talent, you can use it with just two words: loyalty.
