Don’t Be a Scumbag

Chapter 15: Brainless Second Ancestor

◎The scumbag who married a female general who "doesn't follow women's morals" (15)◎

Because the marriage was bestowed by the emperor, the newlyweds need to go to the palace to express their gratitude the next day.

Pei Ming and Xiao Li entered the palace together, and the two were in the carriage together, and Xiao Li was somewhat uncomfortable.

Pei Ming saw her embarrassment and said thoughtfully, "This time I'm going to the palace, so I have to dress up and wait for me to go home and keep things simple."

Xiao Li is really not suitable for dresses. The complicated and solemn dress makes her feel like a butterfly. Compared with long skirts, Xiao Li prefers military uniforms.

She didn't expect Pei Ming to see her discomfort, Xiao Li looked up at Pei Ming, then nodded.

In the palace, the emperor had an imperial physician to diagnose the emperor's pulse. Recently, the emperor had been suffering from a cold, and he had not been getting better, so he called the imperial physician early in the morning.

The three princes came to serve the sick early in the morning, and when Pei Ming arrived, he saw the three princes all surrounding the emperor to greet him.

The three of them didn't care much when they saw Pei Ming coming. The third prince even laughed at Xiao Li, saying that Xiao Li was not too timid, but so what, women should still be safe, and not marry in the end.

Xiao Li saw many provocations on the battlefield, and did not respond to the ridicule of the third prince, but Pei Ming sarcastically said after the emperor left that the third prince could even lose a fight in Beijing. The words satirized that the third prince was not as good as a woman.

Xiao Li therefore gave Pei Ming a higher look.

When the two of them went back, Pei Ming was obviously not in high spirits. After all, they were newlyweds. Xiao Li felt that she still had to be concerned, so she asked Pei Ming what happened.

Pei Ming said: "I don't know that so many people in this world look down on women. It would be great if someone could make a law to allow women to be officials."

Because of last night's exchange, Xiao Li was no longer surprised by Pei Ming's words. She said, "It is impossible for the emperor to make a woman an official."

Xiao Li is not without fantasies. When she returned to Beijing with the head of a barbarian general, she had naively thought that the emperor would not exploit her official position. Seeing her outstanding military exploits, the emperor would let her continue to participate in the battlefield. But after she returned to Beijing, she knelt down in front of the man and saw the disgust in his eyes, and she knew that women were not allowed to have a place in this era.

"There will always be people who support women as officials. Women should not be vassals of men. If I were the emperor, I would definitely make a law that women can be officials."

After hearing what Pei Ming said, Xiao Li thought that he was coaxing herself to be happy. She looked at Pei Ming thoughtfully, then looked in the northwest direction and didn't speak any more.

In September, the old lady suddenly entered the palace and said that he would recommend officials for the students. The three princes' nonsense in the past few months has made the emperor wary. The emperor thought that the old lady was drawn over by some prince, so when he came to the palace, he was wary at first. He felt that because his son was concerned about his position, he attracted the respected old lady, but he didn't want the old lady. It was a recommendation for his sister's son.

Behind the old lady is a civil servant. If he supports a prince, the person he supports will definitely be the next emperor. Fortunately, the old lady did not speak for any of her sons, but helped Pei Ming to get a small official position.

"The emperor also knows that my student is not up to his expectations. It is difficult to point to him for a half-official exam. The eldest princess came to me a few days ago and said that I would recommend an official position to Pei Ming. I always have to promise him. Since his qualifications are not enough to be a Beijing official, it is better to give him an external official position."

When the emperor knew that the old lady was not speaking for his son, he breathed a sigh of relief. Later, he was not too surprised when he heard about the old lady's intention. Pei Ming can be considered as he grew up watching him, and his aptitude and character are no different from his three sons.

It's really not qualified to be a Beijing official. If he is sent out to be a small official or something, it will be regarded as his uncle's care.

After hearing that the old lady was still an official in a remote place, she waved her hand without hesitation, and it was right. Probably to show his uncle Long En, the emperor also raised the official position of the original old lady Fu Qiu and gave Pei Ming an official of the prefect of Qizhou.

Qizhou is located in the northwest, the area is barren, it is not a good place.

The eldest princess was both happy and worried when she found out that the emperor was approved. Xiao Li didn't react when she found out, but the eldest princess still felt ashamed of her daughter-in-law. She gave Xiao Li a lot of private rooms and instructed Xiao Li to go. In remote Qizhou, don't wrong yourself.

Xiao Li had a good impression of the eldest princess, her mother-in-law, and nodded in agreement.

In November, Pei Ming officially took office. The original prefect of Qizhou was promoted by one level because of Pei Ming's appointment. He was transferred to other wealthy places. One person was transferred, some people were happy, some people were worried, and officials in each place have their own "The way to get along", the original prefect was naturally happy when he was transferred, but the people below him were not at all happy. I heard that the newly arrived officials were relatives of the royal family, and the current eldest princess's son was even more worried.

What kind of good official can a related household who becomes an official without taking the imperial examinations? Not sure how much silver it takes to feed.

They are not stupid. What is the purpose of the royal family coming to the remote place to be an official, not to make money. Qizhou is in the northwest, where the sky is high and the emperor is far away. On the first day that he learned that Pei Ming had arrived, he visited in person and planned to give gifts.

Pei Ming's new official received hundreds of thousands of snowflake silver on the first day he took office. On the second day, he took a few boxes and said that there were too many empty boxes in the house. On the third day, it was even more presumptuous, saying that silver was too heavy, not as light as a silver note. Several officials looked at Pei Ming with a smile on his face and only felt pain in the flesh. They guessed correctly, and they were greedy. And there is probably someone behind this person, so it is only natural that he is greedy.

Other officials have to find an excuse for corruption. It's the birthday of the old lady's wife and concubine. No matter how bad it is, it will be a congratulatory gift for the new official. But Pei Ming is very direct, saying that he is short of money and has no money.

The officials below him vomited blood angrily. Some of them had gray hair and entered old age. Some of them were already middle-aged. These people believed that they had lived such a long age. You don't even have a reason to say you're short of money.

They think that the new prefect is shameless, but they can't be unruly, so a few senior officials gritted their teeth and complimented: "Master Pei has a clean sleeve, we have some spare money on hand, and we can help the adults solve the temporary problem. Sleepy."

Just when they thought that Pei Ming could accept their kindness and become good friends with them, Pei Ming changed his face and said, "I often hear that the Northwest is poor, but I never imagined that a small prefect could have so much money. How many years have you been embezzled?"

Pei Ming made a few officials stupid. They thought that their corruption brigade would add another person, but they didn't think that Pei Ming wanted to defraud them. What kind of embezzlement was all deceitful.

Several officials panicked at the time, saying that the adults had misunderstood.

Pei Ming pretended to be angry and asked, "Where did it come from if it wasn't embezzlement? This official just deliberately deceived you, and you brought the evidence of the crime. Is it possible that this official has wronged you?"

"If Uncle Huang knew that you had embezzled so much money, he would definitely be furious!"

Pei Ming found a suitable time to reveal his identity, and several officials panicked even more. The person in front of him was the emperor's nephew. If they were honestly confessed to this group of people, all of them would be doomed.

Everyone was frightened and sweated continuously for a while, and some even felt that their backs were wet. The emperor's nephew had evidence of their corruption, so they wouldn't be finished.
