Chapter 278 The Prosperous Age 38
Concubine De clenched the veil tightly in her hand, "That's impossible, the courtiers won't agree, not everyone can do the queen's position."

Ning Yue: ...The courtiers also said that the child in Su Linglong's stomach cannot be kept, isn't it still fine now?
"If you want me to say that staying in the palace won't get half of the emperor's mercy, actually going out of the palace is not necessarily a bad thing. Now everyone knows that there is a demon concubine in the palace, and it will harm people if nothing happens.

It is also exaggerated, the demon concubine can eat people, and most of the concubines are sympathized when they are sent home at this time. As long as they quietly cat at home for a year or two, the matter will pass, and they want to marry later. Or do you want to make some nutrition for yourself or do you follow their wishes? "

Concubine De pursed her lips. This was true, but she still didn't want to be sent home. She didn't have the good fortune of the empress. Duke Zhen was a well-known favored daughter. If he wanted the stars but not the moon, he really wanted Being kicked out of the palace, she was not far from death.

Speaking of the Yaofei Concubine Shu, there is something to say, "It's strange to say that that woman has been pregnant for several months. Except for her belly getting bigger, her figure is not out of shape at all. She obviously looked like that when she entered the palace, but Now she looks more and more seductive, I almost can't remember what she looked like back then."

Concubine De: "Maybe she really came from a goblin, otherwise, how could the emperor not even want to give us half of his eyes?"

Ning Yue deliberately scared her: "If you know she is a goblin, don't provoke her. Goblins can not only bewitch people, but also harm people!"

When Ning Yue said this, the three concubines couldn't help but shudder, "We will remember what your empress said."

Anyway, without Su Linglong, the emperor would not have looked at them more, so he should stay away, so as not to bring himself a murderous disaster. Thinking of Mi Cairen's death, the three of them couldn't help but feel a little lingering fear!
Concubine De didn't want to mention Su Linglong anymore, so she changed the subject bluntly: "The emperor's birthday is half a month away, unfortunately it is impossible to hold a birthday banquet during the filial piety period, but we still have to send some gifts to the emperor. Well, what do you want to give?"

Ning Yue was taken aback by the question, she really didn't know that the emperor's birthday was coming, and she only remembered it after being reminded by Concubine Shu.

The original book mentions this birthday banquet. There were assassins who sneaked into the palace with the troupe who entered the palace to celebrate the birthday. The emperor was going to be seriously injured. The original owner was stupid. It's a pity that Xuanyuan Hao, the white-eyed wolf, didn't appreciate it at all, he didn't even look at the queen, and went to care about her petite fingers.

Now that the queen mother is dead, all banquets and entertainment activities in the palace are stopped, and those assassins will not be able to come. Hey, if I knew it earlier, I should have given the queen mother a sigh of relief.

Concubine Shu said: "Concubine Yichen said, whether it's a birthday or not, let's not mention it at all. What kind of gifts are we going to receive when we don't have a banquet? I just want to keep the good things in my hands for the empress."

She had already received a letter from her family to enter the palace, that the third son of the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion had saved her younger brother, otherwise their family would have died.

The emperor is generous to himself, but he is stingy to the empress. Before the empress was the concubine, she celebrated several birthdays, but since he ascended the throne, he has never held a birthday banquet for the empress. The queen empress doesn't have any sincerity, the true feelings in the past are just pretending.

She observed it recently, and the empress seemed to have a preference for Nuanyu. Most of the jade pendants and bracelets she wore were made of Nuanyu. She wrote a letter to her family and asked her father to help find it. Send it to the palace.

Concubine De glared at Concubine Shu: "I'll give you ten taels."

"Why did you give me money?" Concubine Shu was puzzled.

"You accept the previous sentence and let me do it."

Concubine Xian also joined in the fun: "I'll give you ten taels of gold, so let me come."

The maids guarding the gate of the palace heard the laughter of the empresses from the inner palace, and then looked at each other and smiled. The empresses and concubines are in harmony, and their days of personal service are easier!
……

The next day, Shangliang Yushi suddenly impeached the right servant of the Ministry of Officials for selling officials and nobles. He received at least 100 million taels of money, and there was an uproar in the court for a while.

Xuanyuan Hao, who was originally sitting on the dragon chair with peace of mind and dazed, sat up straight all of a sudden. Zhang Chengwang took refuge in him when he was still the prince. At that time, he was just a little sixth-rank official. He has become the fourth-rank right servant, and he can be regarded as his confidant.

Damn it, why are the people who made mistakes not the officials he disliked, or else he could take this opportunity to get rid of them all!
Liang Yushi said categorically: "I received a few account books a few days ago. I looked at them out of curiosity, and saw the dense records on them, who collected how much money, how much money, how much work, and what official. Not only that. , Official evaluations can also be bought, as long as you give money, poor can become medium, and medium can become excellent.

I thought this account book was a fake, and someone deliberately framed Mr. Zhang, but after checking, I found that the reputation of those people appearing in the account book is not very good, but they can just pass the performance appraisal every year, and one of them is named Feng It took only eight years for Guangzhao to become a county magistrate of the seventh rank from a small official of the ninth rank, and the amount of silver he used to buy officials and performance appraisals was as high as 1 taels! "

sky!In eight years, he was promoted from a ninth-rank small official to a seventh-rank county magistrate, but he had been promoted to four levels. Officials in the Great Xia Dynasty were appraised once a year, but they were appointed every three years. How many good deeds did Feng Guangzhao have to do to be able? Rise so fast?
Moreover, how much is the salary of Qipin county magistrate in one year?The salaries of officials in the Great Xia Dynasty mainly came from several sources: salary, salary, land, servants, and some rewards in kind.

In addition, officials can enjoy a free lunch.

But when all these are added up, the annual income of a small Qipin county magistrate will definitely not exceed 100 taels of silver.

But Feng Guangzhaoguang's bribes were as high as ten thousand taels, so where did he get all the money?
Moreover, from the ninth rank to the seventh rank is simply a qualitative leap, even if the performance appraisal is impossible every year, because the Great Xia Dynasty has strict rules for promotion, and officials who are not selected through the imperial examination can at most be the eighth rank. That is to say, officials above the seventh rank must at least be Jinshi.

If a high school Jinshi wants to be an official, he must be at least a seventh-rank official.

Therefore, let alone eight years for this little official to be promoted to Qipin county magistrate, even 80 years would not be possible.

Xuanyuan Hao's expression was gloomy, "Where's the account book? Present the account book!"

Liang Yushi hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the three books, "These books were first recorded eight years ago, but there are a few missing in the middle, and the remaining two are from the year before and last year. There should be an account book in the other party’s hands.”
