A month and a half later, Song Qingyue was sent back to the Song family by Li Zhao in person. At this time, the capital was in a turmoil due to the matter of establishing the crown prince, but Mr. Song always maintained an attitude of silence and never interfered.

Even when the emperor tested him privately, he kept doing Tai Chi.

"Your Majesty, you see, this matter of establishing a heir is not in accordance with Your Majesty's wishes. Who am I, a minister, to say anything? Your Majesty, isn't it difficult for you to be a minister? You also have a son, and I also have a son. The spring is coming, I,

I really have no time to think about anything else..."

When the emperor heard this, he slapped the table and said angrily: "Asshole! Can your son be compared with my son?"

Mr. Song knelt down before the emperor and said aggrievedly: "So, as I have said, according to your Majesty's wishes, you are in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period, and it doesn't matter if you set up the throne later. Those people have to force you so urgently.

, you are here to force me..."

The emperor clicked his tongue: "Get up and talk properly. Are you still wronged?"

Mr. Song carefully got up from the ground, lowered his head and carefully arranged his official uniform. The emperor knew that he was playing tricks again. He groaned and said in a low voice: "Song Aiqing, I know that you are smart, help me think of something!"

Master Song folded his hands and was silent for a long time. He seemed to be thinking over and over before he said, "Why don't you give them some errands to do first? The establishment of a crown prince is a matter related to the foundation of the country. It is reasonable to need to investigate and investigate. What should I give them then?

Errands, how to judge who has done a good job is not up to you?"

The emperor looked quite satisfied and smiled: "Xiao Song, you can help me take care of my worries."

Mr. Song immediately lowered his head and said obediently: "When I was young, I was your majesty's designated concubine. I always feel grateful for your majesty's kindness in knowing me. It is my duty to share your majesty's worries."

The emperor then remembered that Song Jianming was nineteen years old when he ordered Tanhua himself. Wasn't he still a young man at that time? Unlike other people who became famous at a young age, Song Jianming had always been cautious and never acted arrogantly. Even if he was allowed to

After staying in Lingnan for more than ten years, he had no resentment and made great achievements. Even after returning to Beijing, he still devoted himself to being a pure minister and did not get involved with his dishonest sons.

Thinking about what he thinks and worrying about his worries, this is the truly loyal minister!

It's just that such a pure and capable minister has become an in-law with the third child! It really makes people feel uncomfortable.

The emperor sighed in his heart, and after Song Jianming left, he was thinking about what to reward him, and asked Eunuch Yin beside him: "Hey, Song Jianming helped me solve such a big trouble, what do you think I would like to reward him with?"

"

Eunuch Yin bowed and smiled: "Old slave, I heard that Mr. Song is looking for a house recently."

…

A few days later, Master Song was approached by Eunuch Liu Jin, the chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who told him that he had an excellent empty house on hand and asked him if he wanted to buy it.

Mr. Song glanced at the address and was shocked, because that house was originally the residence of the county prince, and the princess of the county prince was a legitimate daughter of Mr. Song, his cousin.

"This garden is nice, but...this is the regulation of the palace!" Mr. Song said with sincerity and fear.

Eunuch Liu smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this. As early as the fourth year of Jingning, when Prince Pingjun was demoted, the palace was divided into two. The other half had long been given to Yan Shoufu.

This half has remained empty until now.”

Mr. Song still shook his head after hearing this: "This is the old residence of the palace. Without His Majesty's nod, I really don't dare..."

"Mr. Song Ge!" Eunuch Liu held Master Song's hand and winked at him: "How dare our family sell this house without His Majesty speaking?"

Mr. Song immediately understood and was surprised at the same time: "Is this your Majesty's intention?"

Eunuch Liu nodded and looked at Mr. Song expectantly with a smile.

"What's the price?" Mr. Song was staring at him and his heart went crazy.

Eunuch Liu smiled and held out three fingers.

Thirty thousand taels? Dream on!

Three hundred thousand taels!?

Hiss!

Mr. Song gasped, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is really rude! His Majesty dared to charge such a high price for the house he offered to reward!

Eunuch Liu patted Master Song on the back of his hand and said, "Mr. Song, we all know that you are not short of money. It is His Majesty's intention to leave such a good house to you. You must not let it down!"

Having said that, what could Song Jianming say? However, as a minister of household affairs, he was not willing to be slaughtered like this, and immediately said: "Eunuch Liu, although the price of this location and area is indeed not low, it is empty after all.

It has been more than thirty years, and Song really can't afford it if I spend another two to three hundred thousand to build a house!"

Eunuch Liu waved his hands repeatedly: "I know that Mr. Song Ge, you have a breeze! Don't worry, I can't ask Mr. Ge to spend 300,000 taels to buy a leaky house back home."

Mr. Song was doubtful, but since Eunuch Liu said this, this is what His Majesty meant. His old man was very short of money, so he had to buy this house and pay for it.

Alas, Mr. Song sighed, no matter what, except that it cost one hundred thousand taels more than expected, it can be regarded as a troublesome problem solved.

Back at his house, housekeeper Song Quan came to report and said that he had found out what happened to Liang Junhuai. It turned out that someone from the second room bribed the servants around Liang Junhuai and stole the poems he wrote.

Mr. Song was not surprised, he just nodded and asked: "Has everything that needs to be dealt with been dealt with?"

Song Quandao: "The people in the second room have all been replaced by our people. The original servants rushed to the northwest to build roads. In the other three rooms, the young man found all the servants and killed them in front of them.

We caught those who committed the crime. Mr. Liang was very frightened. He seemed to be a little sick. He had already asked the doctor to come and see him and let him drink medicine and rest."

Mr. Song nodded approvingly. Although his methods were a bit more severe, things are different now. He is now in a high and powerful position, and he does not dare to make any omissions. The management in the government is much stricter than before, otherwise everyone will come.

There is so much nonsense in the house, so he should stop being an official as soon as possible.

Song Quan was naturally skilled in how to deal with servants, but the second and third bedrooms were in trouble. The master was not the master, so he asked in embarrassment: "It's just the girl from the second bedroom..."

Mr. Song thought for a while and said: "Let's ground them for half a year first. Not only Song Pingyin, her mother and I will be grounded together. In addition, all the servants in the second and third rooms will be warned again. If anyone dares to do anything stupid again,

Send them all back to Jiangling together with their master!"

As the saying goes, a seventh-grade official in front of the prime minister, with two or three bedrooms, may not necessarily live a more comfortable life in the capital. The various monthly schedules, rewards, and bribes of the servants are quite a lot. If he returns to Jiangling with his master, the income will be much higher.

Not to mention a lot less, there is still the possibility of being sold.

As for Mr. Song's attitude towards the second and third brothers, in fact, he didn't hold any grudge against his second and third brothers. Although they had bullied him back then, they were still children at the time. Naturally, children would follow what adults do.

The suffering he suffered back then had nothing to do with the child. No matter whether it was his father or the Lin family who harshly replaced him, it had nothing to do with Song Pingyin, a little girl who had not yet been born. Mr. Song felt that he should not express his anger.

As long as he knew his mistakes and could correct them, he wouldn't mind finding a good home for his nieces and being a backer for his nephews, but only if they could live up to him.
