Wanli Youming

Chapter 490

Chapter 490

During the first month of the 15th year of Wanli, the snow fell heavily, like a jade dragon dancing wildly in the sky.

Huang Min was worried that Mrs. Xue would not be able to come back later, so she hurriedly turned around and went to Concubine Yang.

Because Zhu Yijun said that he was coming tonight, Concubine Yang personally took out the milk that had been standing overnight last night in advance to prepare snowy cheese. Pour four cups of tea made by yourself into the milk, and put it in a copper pot and stir it with a simmer.

"Your Majesty, are you still in the mood to cook this?"

"The power has been taken away!"

A female official next to Concubine Yang agreed to ask Concubine Yang dissatisfiedly at this time.

Concubine Yang smiled lightly and said, "The emperor likes to eat the snowy cheese I made, and said that the snowy cheese I made doesn't hurt the spleen and stomach. This day is suitable for making this kind of thing."

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes, and asked: "Your Majesty, you really don't want people to inquire. Did Concubine Liu inform Madam Dou?"

"What are you asking? She has already committed a serious crime, so why should I make trouble?"

Concubine Yang continued to cook the hot drink she wanted to make seriously.

boom!

Suddenly, there was a violent slam of the door.

Concubine Yang just smiled, but didn't say anything. When the milk in the copper pot was boiled until it was as thick as jade bead glue, she added dried fruit on top, poured it into a white porcelain cup, and put it on the table. Let it cool gradually like snow.

Concubine Yang continued to read the medicine case from the side.

"The snow is too heavy, the emperor probably won't come."

At this time, Mrs. Jiang came back, patted the snow on her body, and walked to Concubine Yang, picked up the snowy cheese and drank it.

Seeing this, Concubine Yang hurriedly put down her pen: "This is Your Majesty's!"

Jiang said with a smile: "The emperor won't come, the empress will reward the servants."

"Miss!"

Huang Min came over at this time, saw this scene, and hurriedly shouted.

Mrs. Jiang turned around and walked over with a smile: "You are here, but what is the empress's order, I want our empress to do it."

Huang Min replied: "The Empress asked me to return the book."

"Since it is to return the book, why bother Miss to go there in person, you are from Kunning Palace, when the empress wants it, we will go and get it."

Jiang said with a smile.

Huang Min said: "Seeing that you haven't come to pick it up, the queen thought it was the imperial concubine who forgot, so she asked the servant to bring it in person."

Jiang smiled awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

"Don't forget!"

Concubine Yang, who was seriously re-separating the milk fat, replied softly at this moment.

Huang Min smiled slightly and handed the book to Mrs. Jiang.

Concubine Yang nodded here: "Hard work! There is a reward!"

Huang Min thanked and left.

After Huang Min left, Li Jin also returned to the Ciqing Palace, and reported to Queen Mother Li that Mrs. Qin was killed with a stick and set up a women's school, and Mrs. Dou was sentenced to be cut in half for collecting money behind Concubine Yang's back.

"So this has nothing to do with Concubine Yang?"

Empress Dowager Li therefore asked Li Jin.

Li Jin replied: "If you want to talk about the relationship, you can only say that you are not strict with your subordinates."

Empress Dowager Li nodded after hearing this: "It means that the emperor advocates new rituals and likes concubines who can benefit the country and the people, and doesn't believe in 'a woman who has no talent is virtue', otherwise, with her Yang's temperament, she will be in this palace. I can't live until now, and I won't be able to stay in the position of imperial concubine now, and I can still be in the palace for so long and still be in good spirits."

"My lady said that after the emperor came to the throne, the harem was indeed not as crowded as before, and the nobles from the top down to the palace people were not so trembling. It's just that those who have bad intentions and want to use various names to bully others will end up badly. awful."

Li Jin replied.

"The establishment of an informant system, coupled with the fact that the inner court rewards and graces have always been only a lot more, and the outside is also reducing taxes and exemptions from labor, has forced many people to restrain themselves and make the entire harem much more harmonious."

"Even my mother's family has been rewarded with a lot of subscription tickets, and now I have less complaints against the royal family. Since this is the case, I don't have to meddle in his business. If you want to set up a girls' school, let him set it up."

Empress Dowager Li read Buddhist scriptures as she spoke.

Zhu Yijun did plan to set up a women's school, and called Zheng Wang and Su Wang: "Is there anyone in the clan who is good at managing the internal affairs of the palace, and there must be men and women in the clan. The two of you will write a book and recommend it. I want to reorganize the clan mansion." function, strengthen the cultivation of the royal family, and not let some treacherous people do things that violate the new rituals in the name of teaching the royal family and nobles."

Both Zheng Wang and Su Wang said yes.

After seeing King Zheng and King Su calling, Zhu Yijun announced to meet Qi Jiguang again: "Do you know about the fact that the teacher of the Princess Mansion has invited the mother-in-law Qin to ask for bribes for the son-in-law?"

Qi Jiguang couldn't help being startled, and then replied: "Yes!"

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun lowered his voice: "Then why didn't you play?!"

Qi Jiguang hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, please! The minister is a foreign minister, so it is not good to interfere with the affairs of the royal family, and it is not good to let your majesty make trouble for the house because of the dog."

"Do you still think that bribery is nothing, and it's nothing to give more silver dollars to the Qin family. Anyway, your Duke of Ji's mansion is now a prime minister, rich and profitable, and it's not bad for silver dollars?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Qi Jiguang had to grit his teeth and replied: "Yes! I am willing to accept the crime."

Zhu Yijun asked again: "Are you worried that your Qi family's meddling will make the queen mother dissatisfied, which will cause the mother and son of the Tian family to be at odds, so Ning wronged her son and the princess?"

Qi Jiguang replied again: "Yes!"

"But the Queen Mother was not dissatisfied, and took the initiative to persuade Zhenzhang to kill Qin."

Zhu Yijun said.

Qi Jiguang stood aside silently.

Zhu Yijun looked at Qi Jiguang, and said earnestly: "You are more suitable to be a daughter-in-law than a martial artist. It is no wonder that there are many civil servants who can accept you if you are asked to be a general and a minister. But if you are like this, the new ritual can be implemented. Got it?"

"Just because the Qin family belongs to the Empress Dowager, they can mess around, and then because the son-in-law is your son, they can be wronged, and even the princess can be wronged too?"

Qi Jiguang replied: "What your Majesty said is that the subject's understanding of the new ceremony is not enough, and the subject is guilty."

"It's good to know what's lacking!"

"At the beginning, Yu Qing and others advocated the new rituals for what reason, so that the rituals and laws can be in line with the interests of the country and the nation, can benefit the common people of the country, can ensure that the idea of ​​making the country rich and strong and benefiting the people can be implemented, and can truly respect the venerable Treat the humble with benevolence so that every Han can be treated as a human being and be respected, but those who are not benevolent or respectful will be resolutely eliminated!"

"Your good luck!"

"Just because I was worried that the Empress Dowager would lose peace with me, I would rather sit back and watch the princess and the son-in-law be wronged, and sit and watch her Qin use the old etiquette to beat and scold her and accept bribes."

"This seems to save the face of Zhen and the Queen Mother on the surface, but in fact it is ruining the atmosphere of the entire inner court, turning benevolence and morality into a tool for cannibalism, and in the future, it will ruin the whole world. atmosphere."

"What will you do with yourself then?"

Zhu Yijun asked Qi Jiguang.

Qi Jiguang hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground: "I am willing to accept the crime!"

"Be flat."

"It's easy to get rid of the thief, but it's hard to get rid of the heart!"

"It is impossible to eradicate the remaining old ritual thoughts in Qing's heart in a day or two, but I hope that Qing can eradicate the evil of old rituals in his heart as soon as possible."

"In order for you to remember this lesson, I want to punish you and punish you with one year's salary, and will not reduce your title for now. After all, you got your title through military service."

"However, Qing should continue to work hard to overcome the remnants of the old rites. The first thing is to continue to strengthen our Ming army so that we can have more external benefits and benefit the people."

"The Empress Dowager is more reasonable now, and she is willing to accept the new rituals to govern people, because the Wuqing uncle's mansion has rewarded a lot of foreign benefits."

"Qing should understand what I mean, replacing the old with the new does not depend on just killing!"
