Chapter 386: A Banquet in the Palace
Su Yunnuan looked at the list in her hand, and she could see problems with even such a list.
When I thought that the official family members were a group, this group was divided into three, six or nine levels.
Not all officials of the imperial court can participate in the court meetings. In the large court meetings, only officials of the fourth rank and above are required to attend court. In certain important positions, officials of the fifth rank also have to attend the court. In the small court meetings, only the three princes and officials of the fourth rank and above go to court.
There are more than a hundred officials in Beijing?
Therefore, when Su Yunnuan wanted to bring the official family members to do business, she did it entirely on her own free will, and did not consider the family members of those inconspicuous officials in the capital. After all, under the strict hierarchy, they would have the opportunity to meet the queen.
There are not many official family members.
This is also the main reason why at the beginning of spring, he asked Zheng Feifeng to come out and lead these people to open a trading workshop in the outer imperial city. Because Meng Xiaoan's official position is not big, and the fourth rank is anyone's status, this can greatly unite those who can't leave.
The official family members who came before the queen.
But in fact, Zheng Feifeng became the lowest official family member on this list. The three princes of the imperial court were the fixed stars. The Cui family, Dongfang family and Zhong family of the three princes were not involved.
Among the family members of the six ministers, the family members of Lin Chengzhong, minister of the Ministry of War, did not participate.
The rest were all strangers, but these people all participated quite neatly. Human nature is what it is, so this is not a big problem.
But the problem is that these people use their power to control others in their management of Zheng Feifeng.
The people who can be around Zheng Feifeng are all official family members with official positions in the fourth to fifth ranks.
The family members of the second-grade imperial officials, whether the head wives were directly involved or not, were more or less at odds with each other. This was a situation that Su Yunnuan did not want to see.
When the imperial court banquets ministers, not all officials from the capital have the opportunity to participate. In the same way, when the queen banquets official family members, not all official family members have the opportunity to participate. This makes many family members of Beijing officials who live in poverty and whose official positions are too small
He was excluded from the circle of interests led by himself.
This is something Su Yunnuan absolutely cannot bear!
Most of the officials in the Daqian court were relatively young, and those in important positions did not yet have the official prestige accumulated over the years. Who gave these wives the face? Think they can dominate and bring blessings?
Putting the roster aside, Su Yunnuan rubbed her forehead and thought of countermeasures.
There was even more self-blame in my heart. Although the starting point was good, the effect was not satisfactory. No wonder Mrs. Zhong and Mrs. Dongfang went to Taixi Mansion to see him.
The two old men must be worried, but due to their identities they cannot tell the truth. It is not a big problem whether they are the family members of the imperial court officials. This problem is already very difficult!
When Qi Xuan came back, he saw Su Yunnuan looking worried. He came over and sat next to her and asked with some concern: "What's wrong?"
"Good intentions lead to bad things." Su Yunnuan sighed softly: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult."
Qi Xuan rarely heard Su Yunnuan say such depressing words, and immediately became nervous: "Are they the official family members?"
Su Yunnuan nodded: "When I asked Zheng Feifeng to take the lead in going to the outer imperial city to do things, the superior officials said that it would encourage corruption, but I didn't take it seriously. In fact, although I am not sure about corruption, it has given me some official power.
The growing housewife!"
"The number of officials in the imperial court is not fixed. There have been a lot of changes in officials in the past few years. Giving them time to show off their talents and ambitions is also an assessment. Those who are not qualified will be arranged separately." Qi Xuan poured the tea and handed it to Su Yunnuan: "Do it.
Buying and selling belongs to the official family, so there is no need to be restrained by the court, and there are no taboos."
Su Yunnuan sighed softly: "I thought it was too simple. I have to beat these people for the banquet tomorrow. Although it can't be as strict as the court, it can be good or not. I don't have a sense of proportion. I think my wife
Just because your husband is noble, he is truly noble and inviolable!"
"Okay, just go ahead and do it." Qi Xuan said firmly.
Su Yunnuan looked at Qi Xuan, pursed her lips and said nothing. This was really a headache, but she was too idealistic, and now she was in trouble!
That night, Su Yunnuan did a lot of homework, not only looking at all the officials of the fifth rank and above in the imperial court, but also looking at the details of these officials' family members, which she had as early as when she entered the palace.
Mrs. Zhong was very attentive in this regard, but Su Yunnuan didn't pay attention to it before.
At the same time, Pan Yuzhu, Bai Zhi, Xianglan and Baoxia all called together to write down a list of the family members of Beijing officials below the fifth rank, and even those who were not low-ranking officials.
"Sister, the queen still has to do so many things?" Pan Yuzhu was surprised, because this was really more troublesome than the court. There was only one official in the court, but there was a big family.
Su Yunnuan smiled bitterly: "Because I am the one who started it. Since I have started it, I should correct it if I make mistakes. You can't do things from the beginning to the end, but there are too many people who don't understand current affairs."
"The Empress does not need to blame herself. If any of these people are ignorant of current affairs, we will eliminate them. Moreover, the people are living well, and it will be difficult for the officials and family members to dominate and prosper. Furthermore, those people may not really be able to do business.
Nunu and Xianglan can come forward to buy it, and the transaction in their hands will be transferred to our hands, which will be more effective." Bai Zhi said.
Su Yunnuan glanced at Bai Zhi: "It is indeed a method."
Xianglan thought for a moment: "Queen, there are people who cannot be fed well, but a good beating will help them remember it."
"So you don't have to be polite tomorrow. If you really don't know how to appreciate me, I'll show you a little." Su Yunnuan rubbed her forehead: "Go back and have a rest. We'll talk about the palace affairs after the banquet tomorrow."
After Pan Yuzhu and others retreated, Bao Xia and the maidservant waited on Su Yun Nuan to wash up and rest.
The next day.
The capital was full of joy, and the Empress rarely held banquets. It was a great honor to be able to attend the banquet in the palace. And some people were so thoughtful that they brought girls of the right age from their families to the palace, secretly hoping to catch the Empress' eye.
After all, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's status has been determined, and it is the Queen's top priority to enrich the harem for the Emperor and spread its branches. Such a rare opportunity cannot be missed.
Su Yunnuan was sitting in Yanfu Palace.
Mrs. Dongfang and Mrs. Zhong were not in the capital. Mrs. Cui brought Mrs. Dongfang and Mrs. Zhong into the palace for the banquet.
The three of them had the highest status among the female relatives, so they knelt at the front when they paid homage to the queen.
Nowadays, apart from the three princes, there are no ministers in the imperial court, and the prince is young and has no arrangements to respond to the official position. Therefore, behind the three princes' family members are the ladies of the six tribes. According to the official rank of the previous dynasty, the female family members stood and knelt down to worship the queen.
Su Yunnuan looked at Zheng Feifeng, who was kneeling in the last row, and the officials and family members beside her, and lowered her eyes: "Without the ceremony, today is the day when the emperor thanks the ministers for their hard work for a year and holds a banquet to reward them. As family members, please
Housework has made the officials of the previous dynasty worry-free, which is indispensable. I will hold a banquet to express my gratitude."
