Chapter 318 All demotions.
Xiao Xiao choked: "That's different, Master Wan is Master Wan, isn't it Bai Zhen who lied to you?"
"Do you still know Bo Zhen?" Wu Youwei picked out a few things from it and told the butler Wanfu: "Send it to the kitchen for dinner.
Butler Wanfu said dejectedly: "My lord, my lord does not allow you to eat too greasy food.
"Then skim off the oil and clear soup." Wu Youwei said, "I must have it at night!"
Butler Wanfu was helpless: "Okay, let someone do it when you go back...
"I know Bai Zhen." Xiaoxiao said angrily: "Their family still wants to take a stake in Tokugawa and Haiwai Louzhonglou, but no one agrees, so let them go."
At the beginning, the Bai family still wanted to be tough, and each of the several shareholders had an invitation, and the Bai family stopped.
Only now did he know why the eldest brother insisted on pulling people into the group and sharing so much profit even though he had so many recipes of his own.
Even later, even the emperor was involved.
Sure enough, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree!
Wu Youwei talked to Xiaoxiao for a while, Wantong came back, and smiled when he saw Xiaoxiao: "Let's stay for dinner.
Xiao Xiao swallowed her saliva: "No, well, I have something to do over there, so I'll take my leave first."
He is hairy when he laughs!
After Xiaoxiao ran away, Wu Youwei asked Wantong: "Why are you smiling at Xiaoxiao for no reason?"
Still laughing so hard, man.
"Bai Zhen has been demoted." Wantong said with a smile: "He is just a general banner now."
Jinyiwei has one commander, two commanders, two governors, fourteen thousand households, and one thousand households has at least two to four general banners, or even as many as six.
The general flag is to lead the team to the front. How many years has Bo Zhen enjoyed it?
When he was in Qianhu, he didn't travel very much, because his family was a hereditary Qianhu. Later, when he came to him, he was promoted to be the governor.
Now he is not used to even being a thousand households, let alone the general banner that charges into battle?
He is also old, and it is easy to have accidents when he is on a mission!
This is why Vantone is happy.
If you can't kill him in Beijing, you can't be sure outside.
But you can't kill him directly at the beginning, you have to wait for the right time, at least a year and a half later, when Bai Zhen dies, you won't be suspected...
He told Wu Youwei all about it.
Wu Youwei thought for a while: "Let you handle this matter, I won't participate, but be careful, Bai Zhen is an official of the imperial court.
"You are also an official of the imperial court, no..." Wantong got angry when he mentioned this matter.
It is true that the emperor values Wu Youwei, but what he values more is the hidden power in the palace, and he would rather wrong Wu Youwei first.
As a courtier, the commander can't say anything.
But as a lover, Wantong was very unhappy.
It's just that the emperor has persuaded him, because the insecurity in the palace will not only threaten the royal family, but also his eldest sister and two nieces and daughters, including the eldest nephew.
But he won't be so kind...
For dinner at night, Wantong saw a roasted leg of lamb, sprinkled with thick chili powder, cumin and sesame seeds; a black pepper beef, a black pepper smell rushed straight to the nose.
"Can you eat such a meal?" Wantong's face darkened.
"I want to eat it!" Wu Youwei raised his hand: "There is no taste in my mouth, so I want to eat something strong...."
"In a few days." Wantong brought two plates of green vegetables to Wu Youwei: "You eat this.
Wu Youwei was stupefied: "Isn't it okay to just take a bite?"
"No." Wantong asked people to remove all the beef and mutton. Whoever likes it can eat it, and then serve two light dishes.
And the soup at night is green vegetable tofu soup.
"You eat, how can you have strength if you don't eat meat?" Wu Youwei stopped the people who were serving beef and mutton: "I, I eat vegetables. "
Wantong smiled: "Okay."
He ate meat, and Wu Youwei ate vegetables and radishes, feeling a little sad.
"Stay well at home for the past two days, and then go to the Imperial Academy after ten or eight days." Wan Tao said, "Anyway, it's been cold these few days, if you don't go, don't go.
The yamen of Daming lived poorly, and it was already cold, and the charcoal distributed by the public in the Imperial Academy hadn't arrived yet, so they might not burn charcoal for warmth until it snowed.
Fortunately, the Library Pavilion was built this year, and the Hanlin Academy also built their office space along the way. The big kangs were so hot that they could last a day.
It's just that there is no charcoal for warmth, and it is still chilly.
"Seeing that it's Dongyue, the charcoal fire is about to come down." Wu Youwei said: "The charcoal worship of those people is also coming."
"Don't you?" Wantong was taken aback.
Wu Youwei shook his head: "No.
Wantong thought about it and understood: "That's right, you are still newcomers, and you will be eligible to get it after three years.
"You have?" Wu Youwei asked Wantong: "How much?"
"It's all from Wanfu, there are quite a few anyway." As his official position got higher and higher, there were more and more respects.
In fact, not only money, but also beautiful women, he didn't want it.
I will not tell Wu Youwei about this.
No one can have Jinyiwei's.
"It's all... alas." Wu Youwei didn't know what to say.
"Civilian officials have ice and charcoal respect, and generals can eat nothing." Wantong asked him while eating: "What's the situation with you?"
"I have a high salary to support honesty." Wu Youwei also eats, but he is more gentle: "I didn't say that the salary of officials in Ming Dynasty is too small."
"I can't help it. This is the death salary stipulated by the Taizu." Wan Tongdao: "You also know that he is an old man, born as a poor child, and he is afraid of living a hard life. He is a shrewd one who calculates!"
Zhu Yuanzhang calculated the salaries for his officials, which was calculated to the core, and all the old snacks of the family were calculated for you, so that you will not starve to death.
But you need to pay for the expenses of entertaining as an official, serving your servants, etc., out of your own pocket.
Those who are rich are fine, but those who are poor have only two choices. One is like the people in the Hanlin Academy mentioned before. Life is hard, haha, but they stick to their ideals. A salted fish can be eaten as a side dish Be happy; or just join in with others, it doesn't matter if you collect ice and respect charcoal, just try to find a little bit...
It's really not easy to be an official of Ming Dynasty.
"The salaries of civil servants in our country are all advancing with the times..." Mistakes muttered for a while: "Can the current consumption level be compared with that when the country was founded? When it was established, you married a daughter-in-law for two taels of silver. Now you 20 Both may not be able to get married
Wantong was amused by him: "Then how much dowry do you need to get married?
"Not much, not much." Wu Youwei said cheekily, "Thirty-three thousand gold, sixty-six thousand silver, and nine hundred and ninety pearls, my lord will reluctantly marry you."
Wantong was teased by him and laughed out loud, sweeping away the depression of these days.
It's just that the two of them are in a better mood, but Wan An Baizhen's end is not good.
What was supposed to be a sure thing, but because of Bai Zhen's inability to get Wu Youwei's confession in the first place, the success fell short.
More importantly, they have surfaced and confronted the elders head-on.
"Isn't there any elder who supports the eldest son of the emperor?" At this time, what Wan An valued was the opinion of the elders.
"It's not like you don't know about those four." Bai Zhen was still in a hurry: "They are all people who don't like oil and salt."
Why hasn't he visited before? He received you politely and sent you away respectfully. You shook your head three times and didn't understand.
In Ge's hometown, he can't play and roll around, can he?
And he is the cabinet minister, the head of civil servants; what about him?Jin Yiwei, the scum among military generals, is an ordinary existence.
"Now Maid Wu is safe and sound, I am not guilty of impeachment, you have been demoted, and we have been demoted one after another, and the salary will be fined for one year..." This is the most uncomfortable part of Wan An, After finally climbing up, it fell down again.He is easy!
"Wu Maid showed his face in front of the emperor because of this." Wan An was annoyed: "Say, what should I do?"
"I've surrendered too!" Speaking of which, it's me who should be wronged the most!
"But you are Jinyiwei after all, as long as you have meritorious service, you can be promoted back!" Wan An didn't care whether Bai Zhen was demoted or not, what he cared about was himself, whether he had a chance to be promoted back.
Originally, if he succeeded this time, he might aspire to be the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, but in the end he was suddenly demoted to the position of doctor of the Ministry of Rites.
There is a gap of four levels!
In this life, I don't know if I can climb back, but I have to know that he is the third grade!
Bai Zhen said with a downcast face: "You think it's so easy? Those are all official positions paid for by life.
How old is he?Still working as hard as a young lad, okay?
Even if he works hard, can he make it through?
"Is there nothing else to criticize about that servant Wu?" Wantong was very smart before, otherwise he wouldn't be a first-rank white man, a first-rank Jinshi, and climb up to the third-rank university. member's position.
It's a pity that his cleverness helped him get a good name in the first exam, and then he used this cleverness in his official career...
"The place to criticize... His parents are dead, his aunt is also dead, and it is not his fault that the concubine was born...Although he is a member of the Wu family who abolished the empress, but when he was not abolished, he , broke up with the old Wu's family, and separated before the draft as soon as he became a filial piety; later, after Wu Fei was selected for the selection palace, he had a quarrel with his first brother. Relying on the relationship with foreign relatives, he was separated from the Wu family when Wu Fei was married to the palace for less than half a month... Bo Zhen's history of Wu Youwei is very precious.
"All right, all right!" Wan An interrupted him: "I know all this, let me talk about something I don't know."
"He took in ten righteous sisters!" Bai Zhen's eyes lit up: "It is said that they are all maids who served him..."
"Change to another one!" Wan An frowned: "Aren't his righteous sisters and daughters all married? They are all married to Jin Yiwei, have you forgotten what the emperor said? And Yuan..."
When Yuan Bin was mentioned, both of them fell silent.
Yuan Bin is too ruthless, Bo Zhen now has the grandson of the eldest son of the emperor, who wouldn't give him some face?But Yuan Bin refused to give it!
The emperor said that he wanted to rectify Jinyiwei, but he lowered Bo Zhen to the position of the general flag, making him a joke in the Fusi of Jinyiwei Beizhen.
Today, as soon as I went to Beizhen Fusi, I received a transfer order. At that time, Bai Zhen really wanted to die.
"With the eldest son of the emperor here, what are you afraid of?" Liu Ya, who had been silent all this time, had a gloomy face: "In this world, only saints are without mistakes. Could it be that his servant Wu is a saint?"
"Saint?" Wan An sneered, "Dreaming!
They are all mortals, why are they talking about saints?
Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, how many saints have had a good death?
If Guan Gong hadn't died suddenly, he wouldn't be able to become a martial artist.
"I think of one, I don't know if it counts." Bai Zhen said, "He's not married..."
"What is this?" Wan An was furious: "There are still people who are not married. Besides, men only know how to love others when they are older."
Men are not afraid of getting married late, some of them are second-marriages or want to marry the eldest daughter of Huang Hua.
Old couples and young wives were the most common in ancient times, but there was no such thing as old wives and young husbands.
At most, it is a child bride-in-law, five years older is enough.
The third year of the female junior, holding the golden brick; the fifth grade of the female, competing with her mother.
"No, he is not married, but has a son!" Bai Zhen said, "It is said that the son was born to Wu Jun's concubine.
"Wu Jun?" Wan An was taken aback, "How long has he been dead?"
"The key is that concubine!" Bai Zhen rubbed her hands excitedly and said, "Brother Brother Tong...
"That's not right!" Liu Xu said, "I heard that his aunt did not cultivate women's virtues, and did it secretly. I don't know how to do it. He can't have children?"
