Chapter 206: The Two Kings (II)

Seeing Wang Hongyi pacing back, reading some information, Zhang Youzhi wanted to retreat.

Suddenly, Wang Hongyi was furious, his face turned red, and he swept it over, and said angrily: "Bastard!"

Some of the utensils placed on the "bang" desk, including paper, ink, pen and inkstone, were swept to the ground by Wang Hongyi at once.

The gold and silver utensils fell to the ground with a clanging sound, which was very harsh.

When the paper and ink and other objects hit the ground, they rolled into a ball, and the ink splashed on the ground, making it dirty.

Zhang Yuzhi suddenly encountered the anger of thunder, and immediately fell to the ground in fright, and only after a certain determination did he come back to his senses: "Your Majesty?"

Wang Hongyi's anger came quickly, and he calmed down quickly, and said to Zhang Youzhi: "It's none of your business, get up quickly, don't get stained with ink." ”

At this time, several eunuchs crawled and knelt in front of the case to clean up.

The officials on duty in the secretary pavilion in the distance at this time were all busy with their own affairs, and their heads were slightly lowered and they didn't dare to say more.

Seeing Zhang Youzhi get up, Wang Hongyi said: "It's a bastard! Such a major matter has not been implemented until now! What is the use of asking for such an official?"

"Isn't it chilling that the things that were decreed last year have not been completed until now?" Wang Hongyi said through gritted teeth.

The king's face turned pale, and Zhang Youzhi hurriedly said: "The king is angry with thunder, and his anger hurts his body, which is inappropriate, I don't know why the king is angry? Could it be that something big happened?"

"Hmph! It's not a big thing, but it's not a small thing!" Wang Hongyi handed a document to Zhang Youzhi and looked at it.

"If it weren't for Lone to check the intelligence of the Thirteen Divisions today, he wouldn't know that the reward for the meritorious family members who was explicitly released last year has not yet been implemented. ”

Zhang Yuzhi took this document, read it carefully, and understood it in his heart.

In the battle of Jiangling last year, in August of the 16th year of Chuizheng, a clear decree was issued, Zhang Fan was directly sealed as the Marquis of Changting, with 7,000 acres of Juetian, 200 shaded households, and 40 pairs of soldiers.

Shi Qian has meritorious service in rescuing, sealing Qingyu Earl, 5,000 acres of Juetian, 150 shade households, and 30 pairs of soldiers.

The fiefs of the two are set in their hometowns to show their grace.

The consolation money alone was repaid, and the reward was given immediately, but the land and armor soldiers were not in place for a long time.

Zhang Fanzhi is okay, although he is dead, but some of the sailors are his subordinates, and Jue Tian and the soldiers can easily arrange it.

Shi Qian was originally clothed, and he became an official not long after, but after his death, until now, only 1,000 acres of 5,000 acres of Juetian have been put in place, and there is no soldier.

The land issue must be properly settled, and the land in the hometown is owned by the owner, and the government must be relocated and transferred, and it is natural that it will take some time.

But in August of the sixteenth year of the reign of Chuizheng, it is now October of the seventeenth year of the reign of Chuizheng, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household Affairs in charge of this matter have still not done a good job for a long time, which is obviously careless.

And, in addition to the title, some ordinary family members of the war dead have not yet received the rewards they deserve, and only the soothing blonde has gone down.

Although a lot of things happened during this period of time, the southern expedition and the northern war, things were very busy, but the reward has not been implemented for a long time, and those who know the inside story understand that it is the officials who are procrastinating, and those who don't know the inside story still think that it is Wang Hongyi, the unsympathetic and untrustworthy monarch!

Whether it is public or private, Wang Hongyi can't help but be angry about it.

Zhang Youzhi put down the document and said: "This matter is not irremediable, as long as you immediately send someone to send a reward, and then comfort it, there must be no adverse effects." ”

"That's just one of them. Wang Hongyi's face was a little gloomy and said: "Even this thing can be flawed, it seems that in the past few years, some people have lived too comfortably and have forgotten to do their best." ”

"The meritorious man worked hard for Lone to attack the city, but Lone couldn't even fulfill his promise to them as scheduled, which is really ashamed of Lone!"

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi became angry again, and shouted: "Give Gu Yanmo, and Gu will immediately issue an edict to dismiss these officials!"

Even at this time, Wang Hongyi still retained some clarity and did not have any intention of killing.

"No!" the chamberlain listened, and was busy.

At this time, the eunuch had already cleaned up the inside, so he quickly went to the desk and gave Wang Hongyi ink, and at the same time laid a silk on the desk.

Wang Hongyi walked over, picked up the pen, and was about to write a will to push these officials to the end.

"The king is angry, this is a bit delayed, but from last year to now, there have been major wars, counting household registrations, and accepting the surrender of land. At this time, Zhang Youzhi hurriedly bowed down and said: "There have been delays, there have been mistakes, but they have all worked hard before, and I ask the king to calm his anger - leniency." ”

Wang Hongyi was stunned, put down the pen again, thought about it, and sighed: "Forget it, these officials, just scold and punish them for three months!"

In the final analysis, this matter was also busy with the unification of Jingzhou and the pacification of Jiaozhou some time ago, while ignoring the past.

"Zhang Qing, there is a reward from Shi Qian's family here, I heard that there are only two mothers and wives in the family?" Wang Hongyi's heart moved slightly when he thought of Shi Qian's generosity and righteousness.

This person died to save the driver, not only to die in battle, but also to die for him.

Zhang Youzhi thought about it for a while and said: "The minister remembers that I got the news that when Lord Shi died, there were indeed only two old mothers and his wife in the family, but his wife was already pregnant with a posthumous son. ”

"The posthumous boy!" Wang Hongyi already had an idea when he heard this.

"Zhang Qing, you are responsible for this matter, send someone to inquire about the situation in Shi Qing's family, if the baby boy is born, he will directly inherit the title of Earl Qingyu, and he must not let the meritorious minister be neglected after his death!"

"If it's a full moon, just add some rewards from the palace, by the way, since they are all women, send envoys to use female officials!" Wang Hongyi thought for a while and said.

"Obey. Zhang Youzhi said busily, secretly sighing in his heart, bowing down.

Qingyu Town, Shifu

In fact, it is no wonder that Qingyu Town only has a total of 30,000 mu, and it is really difficult to allocate 5,000 mu to Shifu at once.

And the stone mansion, itself is a few mansions in the town, given by the government together, connected together, the area is ten acres, according to the system, the earl's specifications are composed of five courtyards, and the door can be used as a stone lion.

But now, the Shi family was originally a poor household, and the family had no money to spare, so they only got the king's last reward of 5,000 taels of silver, don't look at the 5,000 taels a lot, but if you build a few portals, you will run out.

This time, the child is one year old, and in the hall, there is a steward entertaining a group of guests who came to congratulate.

There are three upper rooms in the back house, for the sake of decency, it is not bad, there are a few new girls, in a room, there is a bed, the stone mother sits on it, and looks lovingly at the child who is held in the arms of the stone wife.

There was a smile on his face, but deep in his eyes, there was a deep sadness.

This boy is a year old, and he looks like his father!

Poor Qian'er is so young, so she went early, hey......

Looking at the child in her arms, Shi's wife endured her sadness, showed a smile, and said to Shi's mother: "Mother, I'm afraid that the guest has already come, even if we are women, there is no one at home, we must take him out." ”

"Well, yes, all the guests who come here are guests, and you can't neglect the guests!" Old Madam Shi nodded, and walked out with the support of the maid.

An invited wet nurse also took the little young master from his wife's hand and walked out.

After a while, a family of three walked from the back to the front, surrounded by maids and servants.

Seeing the old lady and the lady coming over with the little master, the guests who came to congratulate all stood up and said auspicious words to the two.

As the head of the family, the old lady is at ease, and she can only speak at this time.

But how many people can you know?

The Shi family is barely a family of reading, but it is not a big family, and this behavior is naturally flawed, and some people secretly despise the guests who come at this time.

Shi's wife is a smart person, and when she sees this situation, she can't help but have a faint uneasiness on her face.

"Mother, I heard the news from the next person just now, the patriarch will come over in person in a while, but I am afraid that today's New Year's banquet will be ...... again" When she was free, Shi Wife walked to Shi Mu and whispered sadly.

When Shi Mu heard this, her face was also worried.

In the past, when Shi Qian was still alive, even if he was not an official at that time, but there was a man in the family to support him, and the patriarch was quite polite to the Shi family.

After Shi Qian's death, there was no man in the family, and now even though there are a lot of rewards, there are only two women and one child in charge of the family.

How can it be good that there are no men in the family and relatives and servants want to encroach on the property?

Some time ago, even the patriarch revealed these meanings, and it seems that the fields and consolation money given by the king of Chu have made them coveted.

Shi's wife thought for a while, and then said: "Mother, but I heard that the local county decree is to be said by the patriarch, saying that we two widows can't afford such a big family business, so it's better to hand over the jue field to the clan first, and wait for the child to grow up and hand it back, so the 4,000 mu can't be allocated for a long time!"

"Also, although a thousand acres of land are now given, when the tenants are rented, the heads of the villages always delay and do not give it, and even if they do, the grain given is less than half. ”

The old lady thought for a moment, and said coldly: "Hmph, this is my son's family business that he has worked hard for, even if the old man is desperate, they are not allowed to occupy it." ”

The old lady said again: "You and I have official orders, and I am afraid that they will not be able to take it by force, but it really can't be done, let's go to the king to complain!"

The stone wife had to respond: "Yes!"

What the old lady didn't know was that Shi's wife was more worried than her.

This worry comes from his own family.

Uncle and aunt, even a few days ago, revealed that they wanted to meddle, which meant that for the sake of their nephew, they would take care of the family business on behalf of their nephew, and return it to their nephew when they became adults.

This made Shi's wife sad and worried.

Now the child is still young, and it is still early to become an adult, whether it is handed over to the clan or to the uncle, not to mention that it has been embezzled in the past ten years, in case the child has any "death" at that time, who the land belongs to, no one really can know.

How can they keep the family business that their husband left to their children?
