The Famous Detective of the Red Mansion

ters were linked with the Supreme Emperor to control the internal and external financial resources, which forced the royal prerogative like himself to hide in the dark that he had to ask the loyal Prince to sell private salt for profit.
He could not help but hate them.

“Your Majesty.”

Although Prince Zhongshun was known as ‘perverse and domineering’, he did not scold the four Princes and eight Ministers with Emperor Guangde at this time.
Instead, he advised, “This matter should be delayed rather than urgent.
I'm afraid we have to appease them now.
It's better to arrange some more plans for them to be in vain and waste their money, it's an easy task for us.
“

Hearing the speech, Emperor Guangde got up and left the imperial court and paced back and forth in the Wen Ying hall.

After a while, he suddenly shouted for Dai Quan and said, “Go to the Queen's palace and pass on my order, Female historian Jia Yuanchun was granted the title of Minister of Fengzao Palace, and was granted the additional title of Consort Xiande.
The Lady of Bright Countenance, Liu Rumei to fill up the vacancies of the Female Historian of Fengzao Palace, and was granted an additional title of imperial concubines.
The Lady of Bright Countenance, Shui Wanyi was granted the title…”

He granted several concubines all in one breath, all women from the families of the four Princes and eight Ministers.

After Dai Quan wrote it down one by one, he explained, “Moreover, help me spread the words out that from the beginning of next spring, anyone who has female family members who are in the palace that their family has a different courtyard that complies with the Royal regulations of accommodating his concubines to stay temporarily will be allowed to go home to visit their relatives and enjoy the happiness with their family!”

When Dai Quan was ordered to leave, the monkey-like Prince Zhongshun scratched his ears and cheeks and said, “Your Majesty has a good tactic! The four Princes and eight Ministers are best at showing off their wealth and comparing themselves with each other.
Together with the spotlight of visiting their relatives, how would they not try their best to build a garden!”

Emperor Guangde grinned slightly, but his brows were full of anger.

——Split line——

Not to mention how Emperor Guangde and Prince Zhongshun calculated the four Princes and eight Ministers.

It is said that Sun Shaozong got The Emperor's approval and went home happily.
He told Ruan Rong about the transfer to being a civil servant.
Ruan Rong was so happy that tears came running down her eyes.
Who would be willing to be a concubine if he could be the main hostess?

Although his big brother has some complaints, he can only recognize them helplessly when he sees that it has been done.

For three days after that, other than Sun Shaozong taking the time to visit Hou Yong's mansion and the Old Lady of the Hou family, he was cultivating his relationship with Ruan Rong at home.
While waiting for the transfer of civil servants to be settled, he held a simple wedding ceremony and took her down completely.

Unexpectedly, on the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, a decree was suddenly sent from the palace, it was that Sun Shaozong was to be temporarily transferred to the Central Judicial Office, serving as the General Judge.

Instead of being revoked, he was promoted one rank up to the Lieutenant Commandant of Cavalry from his initial Lieutenant Imperial Guard position, which was not that kind of nominal title of Jia Rong, but a serious job.

Therefore, although Sun Shaozong succeeded in becoming a civil servant, he was only a part-time officer.
His main job was still in the military!

The two of them were so dumbfounded that they didn't know what to say for half a day after looking at the transfer order for him to take over the office after the New Year.

Only Sun Shaozu was so happy.

For him, his brother found a civil servant that was ranked as a sixth-grade official.
The main thing is that Jia Yucun, the Prefectural Magistrate, is there to take care of him.
He should not be bullied by civil servants.

He spent most of the day in such a muddle-headed way.

In the evening, another steward of the Jia family came to deliver Jia Lian's famous post and invite Sun Shaozong to the Rongguo mansion for a small gathering tomorrow.

Sun Shaozong was not in the mood at all, but seeing Ruan Rong being so moody was not the way.
So he advised her to go to Jia's mansion with him and talk to her godsister Lin Daiyu.
