Chapter 1396 The Faint Empress 19
Just like a man being an emperor, all the children of concubines are considered as the empress's.Even if she ascends to the throne in the future, she will still be honored as the empress mother. Although the biological mother can also be the empress dowager, her status is not as good as that of the aunt.Some mothers with low status can only be concubines.

Immediately, I felt that it was not bad for a female to be an emperor, at least all the children born were of the blood of the empress.And the queen is the future queen dowager, and the others are all concubines, which is much simpler.

Thinking about the fact that my twelve husbands feel a headache, King Duan has 22 wives and concubines, it must be very lively.

Xining snickered for a while, thought of something, and asked someone to go to the father of the concubine Xuanduan and the side concubine, and go to the Palace of Qinzheng to correct the memorial by himself.

When we arrived at the Hall of Qinzheng, the table was very clean, with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and cinnabar ink pads all on display.

Xining frowned slightly, she cleaned up a bit too cleanly, even the inkstone looked like new, there was no ink left on it.

Sitting on the chair, she looked at the chief executive: "Bring the memorial!"

The head manager was taken aback for a moment, but immediately realized: "The old slave will go get it now."

When he left, he bowed his head and asked for tea to be brought.

Xining sat on a chair, sipping tea and thinking about it.

The owner of the body seems to have never reviewed the memorials, and all government affairs are done by the auxiliary ministers left by the late emperor.This team is composed of Sangong Jiuqing, and all memorials have been reviewed by them.

This body owner lived a very comfortable life, and really did nothing except put up a show there every day.There is a dispute, and the ministers below are noisy.

When the discussion failed, the great Sima came forward and said: "Since this matter cannot be debated for the time being, let Your Majesty think about it and make a decision after thinking about it." So it passed, and when the Sangong and Jiuqing discussed the result, it was natural There is no need to debate in the court anymore.

And after getting noodles, it was three days of fishing and two days of drying the net.If it weren't for the eldest daughter, this seat is not worthy of sitting at all.This should also be the thinking of Duan Wang and many people.

Xining stood up: "Go to Changxin Hall."

Sitting on the dragon chariot to the gate of the Changxin Hall, the chief manager came out with a plate of booklets.

When he saw her coming, he was taken aback.

Xi Ning pointed his fingers, signaling not to speak.Slowly approaching the door, pricking up your ears to listen inside.

It's very lively inside.

"It's a good thing Your Majesty wants to see the memorial. The first emperor was 17 years old, and His Majesty is already in power."

"That can't make you fat in one go, maybe it's just a whim."

"If His Majesty wants more after reading those memorials, then do you want to get another batch?"

"Yes, I'll sort out some later."

It seemed that the Chief Manager's plate was filled with trivial matters, so Xining picked up one at random and looked at it.It is a certain county that has seen Xiangrui, and hereby submits a report.

You can find a lot of things like auspiciousness almost every day.Why see a rainbow, see red clouds and colorful clouds.When you see a pheasant, you say it is a phoenix.Even water coming out of dry wells, flowers blooming out of season, and a sow giving birth to nine piglets are all auspicious.

Pick up another one, it's about a certain official's mother passing away, and he wants to go back to Ding You.

This dynasty governs the country with benevolence and filial piety. Of course, this kind of thing is approved, so there is no need to talk about it.

Xining threw the playbook back into the tray and strode in.

There are quite a few people inside, each with a table, and there are piles of memorials in front of them.They are all reading, of course they are reading "suitable" empresses.

One was holding a book and shouting: "This can be done, it's about..."

Before he finished speaking, he was stunned, and saw a beautiful woman in Tsing Yi walking in.Judging by her figure and age, she should be an empress.But she was used to seeing the empress either in court clothes or gorgeous brocade embroidered with gold and silver threads, so she couldn't recognize her for a while.

Xining walked and said, "What are you talking about?"

When the voice was heard, all the ministers immediately got up from their seats and knelt down at the table: "Kowtow to Your Majesty."

"Free from courtesy." Xi Ning walked to the dragon chair in front and sat down: "What are you talking about, read it out and listen!"

In the past, the late emperor also sat here to see these old ministers discussing politics.And this position is probably the first time she sat on it as an empress.

After the minister got up, he picked up the memorial and read it.

It was talking about a county next to the capital, where thefts were frequent, and they were all big households in the county. Five of them had been stolen, and they hoped to send someone over to help investigate.

Xi Ning thought for a while: "Although it was just theft, the amount stolen is not too much, and no one was killed or injured. But after all, relying on the capital city, it might be possible to steal it in the capital city, so this book is considered appropriate. Since it is going to be distributed, Let’s send someone capable to solve the case as soon as possible.”

The county magistrate took precautions and made a note.If you can't solve the case, you will be ridiculed by outsiders, and the people sent by the court will not be able to do anything.

So the minister received the order, sat in front of the desk, picked up a pen, and replied in the memorial.

Xining looked left and right: "Just this matter? Report anything else, and see if I can be stumped."

Most of the ministers were in embarrassment, and the Empress listened to what they said just now.

Since the Empress is acting like a joke, it's going to be difficult.

Da Sikong picked up a book and held it respectfully with both hands: "Cao from the Ministry of Water has come to give instructions that seven dams on the river bank will be repaired this year due to the breach of the tide, and we hope to allocate 150 million taels of silver."

Xining asked, "What's the problem?"

Da Sikong responded: "The national treasury is empty, and we can only allocate 50 taels."

With a smile on the corner of Xining's mouth, he said calmly, "How many taels are there in the treasury?"

Da Sikong: "700 million taels. In addition to the official monthly silver, there are 650 million taels left. 200 million taels need to be allocated to the palace for the construction of the Tengxiang Pavilion and the repair of the houses in the palaces and halls; 100 million taels are for the armed forces. Military spending..."

"Wait!" Xining raised his hand, signaling to stop: "The construction of Tengxiang Pavilion needs money?"

Da Sikong immediately replied with a smile: "It's 150 million taels, and this minister also plans to do so. After thinking about it, I will ask His Majesty whether the construction of Tengxiang Pavilion can be postponed."

"It's not a delay, it's not necessary at all!" Xining sneered coldly, the Tengxiang Pavilion was built for the purpose of living.Since she is not a concubine in the palace, she clamors to build another house.The design is extremely luxurious. The annual maintenance cost of the entire large palace complex is only 50 taels, but it costs 150 million taels to build a courtyard. Why not build King Zhou's super star-catching building?
But most of the ministers thought that Mian Capital had been beheaded, and the head hanging on the city gate was taken off, and was buried hastily with the body, without even a tombstone.People are dead, and there is really no need to recreate them.

Da Sikong nodded: "This minister will draw up an order to transfer 150 million taels into Gudi."

"Also~" Xining said with a long voice: "It is written in the back that the embankment is repaired every year, and it breaks every three to five times. This time, let them calculate it carefully before reporting. If it has been repaired many times, let the person in charge report the situation. Why? How did you fix it? If you are greedy for money to repair the embankment, take it out and repair the embankment. I will not blame the past, otherwise I will deal with it severely. Starting this year, if the embankment breaks again, if it is found to be malfeasance and corruption, the case will be copied and executed. When the national treasury is an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver."
