Xue Chongxun asked Sanniang to ask about some official credit, but she never asked about these things and didn't care about them.
At this time, she already understood that Xue Chongxun just wanted to talk to her.
But in the end, I didn't say anything, so Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she left the bedroom, but then she thought, if she went there again, she might have the same result.
When she returned to her residence in Penglai Hall, her eyes couldn't help but turn to a box on the dressing cabinet. The luggage she brought from the King of Jin's mansion, and she left it there before she could clean it up.
She walked over and sat down and opened the box. In addition to some changing clothes, there were also a few beautiful small boxes...
Box containing rouge powder.
It was given to Feiyan, a singer in the Jin Palace when he first met, and said he bought a lot and gave it to Sanniang. Perhaps it was Feiyan who saw Sanniang, a young woman with bare face on her face was kind.
It was hard to be kind, but Sanniang took it away but never used it, but she was not willing to throw it away.
Sanniang took out the beautiful small box inside and placed it on the cabinet. There was a pair of bronze mirrors opposite, so she sat there in a daze.
There are two red candles on the lamp stand next to it. The light in the room is a bit hazy, so it is naturally much dim than in the main hall. The main palace has quotas for the cost, but people with low status have fewer daily necessities according to the system. However, even the lowest palace maids are wasted more than ordinary people. Many people in the folk go to bed and rest as much as possible at night. How can they waste it when lighting the lights?
After a while, she opened the box and smelled it. A beautiful fragrance of flowers came to her nose. In addition, the box was beautifully made, which was really popular. Sanniang also wanted to try it...
But she soon covered up.
Sanniang is self-aware and knows that with Xue Chongxun's current status, there are all kinds of beautiful women around her. It is impossible for her to compete for favor with those people. No matter how she dresses up, she cannot change her skin and appearance too much. It is meaningless.
The ancients said that they regarded themselves as confidants, and that their daughters wanted to please themselves. Sanniang sighed and said that there was nothing to say in daily life, let alone confidants.
She was sleepless and recalled that in the conversation with Xue Chongxun just now, he casually said, "The house in the palace is too big, and now she feels the same way."
Although she is always used to being indifferent in front of others, she remembers every word Xue Chongxun said very clearly, even those meaningless nonsense.
She always wanted to get closer, but every time she thought that way, she felt inferior and uncomfortable as it was difficult to explain clearly, just like wearing the wrong clothes in broad daylight and being in the market was very embarrassed.
In the past, she was already used to the loneliness at night. Later, she quit the world and joined the wealthy family and changed her habits, but her heart still stayed in the secluded night...
Suffering in loneliness, but once someone comes, he will panic and be at a loss.
Now that she is used to this kind of life, Xue Chongxun provides her with safety and all the materials needed for life, perhaps this is just a kind of dependence.
Sometimes she wondered what value she had to Xue Chongxun, especially after he ascended to the throne of the emperor with ambition, there were about tens of thousands of people in and out of the palace to defend his safety. Whatever she wanted to do was to deal with whom was just one sentence, the imperial edict was just like a king who wanted his minister to die; then as an assassin, she had no remaining value to Xue Chongxun.
She even thought that when she first met Xue Chongxun wanted to let herself take the blame, and if that was the case, she would die.
Thinking of the time when Xue Chongxun asked him to hide under the bed and tried his best to protect him, Sanniang's face turned slightly red: Why did he catch a worthless person like him?
……
The next day, Xue Chongxun's eyes were a little dark. He summoned ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and his staff members of the Jin Dynasty, including Su Jin and Erling, to discuss matters. Zhang Shuo and others thought he was going to ask about the Western Regions and the Northeast Khitan, so they wrote the strategies they had thought in advance on the ivory card to avoid temporarily forgetting.
After all, the most important thing in the court in recent years was war, and the emperor himself led a large army to fight many times.
Unexpectedly, Xue Chongxun didn't even mention the war, but first talked about a trivial matter: When I came to Zichen Hall in the morning, I saw a big house outside empty, which was useless?
Yu Liben, the eunuch standing in front of the throne, hurriedly bowed and said: Only some eunuchs from the eunuchs who were in their spare time were resting there, and there were dust brooms and other items that cleaned the Zichen Palace.
As the eunuch with the right position in the court, Yu Liben still stood firm in the previous dynasty or the Jin dynasty. He was familiar with all kinds of affairs inside and outside the Daming Palace and the court, and was often able to answer Xue Chongxun’s big and small questions in a timely manner.
However, he found that when Xue Chongxun went to court, he always had a female official with him, and he stood very close to him, and he had basically never heard her say anything, and he looked very trustworthy.
In addition, one night the female official suspected that the midnight snack sent by the eunuch was poisonous, and Yu Liben had a bit of prejudice against her.
Xue Chongxun said: There are so many large palaces that are idle there. I want to set up a new yamen there, and select some scholars with limited government qualifications and talented work outside the Zichen Palace, so as to be my consultant. When checking for omissions and filling in the gaps, I often remind you to avoid the loss of governance.
As he said this, Xue Chongxun turned his head slightly and looked at Sanniang. Sanniang stood there like a decoration such as a lamp stand, incense burner, and expressionless, but she silently saw Xue Chongxun's every move. Even with such a subtle look, Xue Chongxun seemed to be saying: You asked me to add several official positions last night, just do it without saying anything?
In Sanniang's eyes, these trivial matters of the country were indifferent, but Zhang Shuo took them seriously all of a sudden.
Any changes in the bureau's institutions may be of great importance. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the tricks of the Tongshu clan under the sect of the three provincial governors were used to undermine the power of the ministers, and differentiate the power of ministers with too old qualifications and too high prestige, and strengthen the power of the monarch.
Because Xue Chongxun suddenly mentioned that there was no sign of anything, the court officials did not understand the mystery at the moment, but Zhang said that Dou Huaizhen and other old foxes were in the officialdom for many years and were not so foolish.
Zhang said immediately: The rules and regulations are mocked by negligence and the affairs of attendants and consultants have been handled by officials such as the Zuo Sanqi Office and the Censorate. If another government is set up to overlap with the Junxia Provincial Government, it will not only cause redundant officials to increase the treasury expenditure, but may also cause unclear power and confusion in accountability. The sages must observe it.
Xue Chongxun disagreed and said: Just a few more consultants, what's the chaos?It is sometimes inconvenient for officials from the Ministry of Education to make suggestions. It is best if there are a few strategists in the court.Besides, Su Jin, Zishou, Shaobo and others were formerly officials of the Prince. They were familiar with me and were able to speak out their mistakes. What's wrong with letting them take office in the inner court now?
Dou Huaizhen, who was good at flattery, said seriously: Wang Shaobo and others have made contributions to establishing each other, but they are actually meritorious officials of the Great Jin Dynasty. They should be the Duke and Marquis and rank among the nine ministers to show their merits and demerits and rewards.
When Su Jin heard this, he hurriedly came out from behind and said: I dare not show off my little achievements, and because I am not qualified enough, I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public. I am not able to be at the height of the temple because of my grace. But I am satisfied to follow Your Majesty and serve him on the left and right saddles and horses.
Zhang Shuo said this as soon as he listened to it. He supported Xue Chongxun as the emperor, and it was not too much to be granted any official title. If he objected, it would be unreasonable, so Zhang Shuo remained silent.
Xue Chongxun said: If everyone has no objection, I will ask the people from the eunuchs to clean up the house outside the hall and set up a "cabinet" in the internal court. The literati and officials who serve in the cabinet can participate in military confidentiality and advise on the mistakes.
Seeing that no one objected, Xue Chongxun agreed on this matter.
The newly established cabinet system has not shown its importance. The first batch of officials are called bachelors and are only a fifth-rank small official. They do not give much specific power. They can speak casually in front of the emperor and cannot be easily convicted of their words.
As usual, most of the things were not innovated when the Jin Dynasty was established, but the establishment of the cabinet had begun to take a small step.
The ministers could see clearly, but they had nothing to say.
Since the establishment of this yamen, it must be unusual: three fifth-rank officials, Su Jin, Zhang Jiuling and Wang Changling, are all direct descendants from the Jin royal family, and the candidates say everything.
The prime minister and ministers are all concerned about it, but it has little influence for the time being. The power of proposing national policies and recommending talents is still in the hands of the Political Affairs Hall.
In addition, Princess Taiping often celebrates banquets in Linde Hall, not only singing and dancing, but also occasionally having polo games. The Prime Minister and the old ministers of the Political Affairs Hall are still very close to her. Xue Chongxun has already made the attitude of continuing to rule the world with Princess Taiping. The ministers are not with the upper hand, so there is no need to worry about the matters of the cabinet.
Princess Taiping heard about Xue Chongxun's establishment of a cabinet and smiled at the servants around him: Chongxun is not Li Chengning, of course he should choose some people he trusts around him.
Not only was the court officials in the Southern Ya who were on two boats, they not only expressed their loyalty to the emperor, but also got close to Princess Taiping.
There are also palace ladies, some of whom are Xue Chongxun's women, who are also close to Princess Taiping, especially Princess Jincheng and Gao (Queen of Li Shouli), who often meet in Chengxiang Hall because they live together. The previous grudge has long disappeared because of their familiarity and has become a very close relationship.
Under the years of cleaning and management of Princess Taiping, the Daming Palace has many people, from eunuchs in the provincial eunuchs to female officials and palace maids. Xue Chongxun did not touch those people, nor did he say he wanted to move his nest, but only took his wives, concubines, slaves and servants from his home to Penglai Palace. In short, he had no conflicts with Princess Taiping.
This pattern has formed an unprecedented situation. The Li and Xue families formed a binary relationship and each have their own powers, and they actually lived in harmony and coexisted steadily.
But the basis of all this is only the reason for Xue Chongxun and Princess Taiping. Who said it is not a deformed political structure?
When the people in power are no longer the mother and son, it will be difficult for the current situation to happen again.
But that was a problem that would only be exposed in a long time, and they really couldn't care about it now.
At this time, she already understood that Xue Chongxun just wanted to talk to her.
But in the end, I didn't say anything, so Sanniang couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she left the bedroom, but then she thought, if she went there again, she might have the same result.
