The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 214 You Are Not Kind Enough
Before he finished speaking, most of the other women frowned secretly.

Yao Yue cursed herself inwardly for not thinking clearly, and said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I am confident that I can manage all matters in the harem for you and not let you worry about it."

"Your Majesty, I think that Sister Tianxue is suitable for managing all the food, clothing and other expenses in the palace." Jin Bingyun said, ignoring Yaoyue's words.

"Your Majesty, I think Sister Fanghua is more suitable." Bai Qing'er followed up by saying, also ignoring Yao Yue's words.

They would not easily stop Yao Yue or make her angry, but they would also never allow Yao Yue to really manage the affairs of the harem.

"Your Majesty, I have the confidence to manage the food, clothing and other expenses in the palace." Yin Tianxue said.

She doesn't care about these things, but as a righteous person, she has to fight for it.

Apart from the women in the regular palace, the other women also wanted to speak up. The power of managing food, clothing and other expenses was very great, almost second only to managing all matters in the harem.

Of course, the land managed by Yaoyue was not among them.

But after thinking about it, they remained silent.

The righteous are powerful and have more people, so they probably cannot win the fight.

As for managing the affairs of the harem, there is no need to mention it.

Zhu Houzhao thought carefully and said to Yaoyue, "You are not the queen, so you are not suitable to manage the affairs of the harem. You should manage our farmland first."

Yao Yue's eyes widened, feeling insulted.

But she didn't have much confidence to argue, and for some reason, she was not very angry with Zhu Houzhao, she just felt that he was honest.

She was more unwilling to accept that she was not strong enough.

I can only sulk in secret and respond.

Some of the girls seemed to be watching the fun, and smiled in their hearts but did not show it.

After all, Yao Yue is a woman who is not easy to offend.

"The food, clothing and expenses in the palace..." Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, looked at Bai Fanghua and Yin Tianxue, and leaned towards Yin Tianxue: "Tianxue, you will be in charge. Fanghua, you are not suitable."

"Yes." Yin Tianxue replied.

Bai Fanghua looked at Zhu Houzhao quietly, her eyes showing a little aggrievedness, which was extremely attractive.

Zhu Houzhao didn't quite understand it, but he didn't care.

Bai Fanghua is not a very kind person. He is worried that the other party's management of food, clothing and other expenses will be unfair.

"Your Majesty, let me manage the personnel transfers of the eunuchs and maids in the palace for Your Majesty." Bai Fanghua said softly.

"No, you are not kind enough and you are not suitable." Zhu Houzhao said directly.

Bai Fanghua was stunned and couldn't help but twitching his eyebrows.

Except for Bai Qing'er, the other girls couldn't help but smile.

Not very kind.

Your Majesty, you are very direct.

“The personnel transfer of eunuchs and maids in the palace is limited to those who do not have martial arts qualifications. Those who have martial arts qualifications will be trained uniformly.

Who among you is willing to manage it?" Zhu Houzhao pointed at Qin Mengyao, Jin Bingyun, Fu Tianjiao, Hua Zhenzhen, and Lian Xiuxiu.

Suddenly, the smiles of the other girls froze.

Doesn't this mean that they are equally unkind?

The righteous ladies felt relieved, thinking that His Majesty was indeed a man of discerning eyes.

As for personnel transfers, since they are limited to those without martial arts qualifications, their power can be said to be greatly reduced, but it is still very great.

In addition to managing food, clothing, and royal property, he is responsible for almost everything in the harem.

Normally this is the power of the Queen, which is divided into three parts. If the righteous path gets two parts, it is also good.

Except for Lian Xiuxiu, the other girls looked at each other, and Jin Bingyun said, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

"You, just try your best." Zhu Houzhao agreed with some doubt.

The other ladies were puzzled. Does His Majesty have any problem with Jin Bingyun?
Only Jin Bingyun felt a little strange. Is His Majesty still holding a grudge against what happened that day?
Really, like a big kid.

Jin Bingyun felt a little amused.

"What do you want to do?" Zhu Houzhao asked the remaining women.

The remaining eight women all thought that the power in the harem had been divided up, and they didn't care about what was left.

That leaves the ones outside the palace.

They are all more cautious.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to manage the lowly people in the world for you. I wonder if Your Majesty agrees?" Lian Xiuxiu asked with a hint of anticipation.

The girls looked over; this was something they had not expected.

Of course, I wouldn’t do it even if I thought about it.

A royal concubine is involved with a lowly person...

"This..." Zhu Houzhao thought about it and said frankly: "I will abolish all slavery in the future. It's useless for you to manage it, Xiuxiu."

Lian Xiuxiu's eyes lit up, as if she had received the greatest joy, and she bowed: "I understand, Your Majesty, I will do whatever you want me to do."

"Well, I saw in your information that you are a talented woman. Will you inspire the talents of the soldiers in the army?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered and asked.

"The zither, poetry, singing and dancing, and opera can all inspire the soldiers in the army. I know a little about them all." Lian Xiuxiu said naturally with a smile on her face.

"Okay, you prepare well. I will give you an important task when the time comes." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

"Yes." Lian Xiuxiu replied.

“Your Majesty, you just mentioned the orphans and the elderly in the Ming Dynasty’s orphanage. Why don’t I manage them for you?” Then, Fu Tianjiao’s thoughtful expression became firm and she said seriously.

“Okay, Tianjiao, you are responsible.

There are too many orphans and widows in our Ming Dynasty. The orphanages established by Taizu are basically abandoned now. I want all the children in Ming Dynasty to go to school and learn martial arts.

Elderly widows and widowers can also be supported." Zhu Houzhao said seriously.

"Yes." Fu Tianjiao felt a sense of responsibility in her heart and responded solemnly.

"Your Majesty, I don't have anything I want to do for the time being, so why not help Sister Tianjiao?" Hua Zhenzhen said softly.

"Okay, Tianjiao definitely can't handle it all by herself." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

None of the next few women spoke.

Zhu Houzhao was not in a hurry and said casually: "It's normal that you haven't thought about it yet. Tell me anytime when you have thought about it."

The remaining women should be.

After confirming it, Zhu Houzhao called Liu Jin and all the eunuchs in the palace over.

On the spot, the three major powers of food, clothing, personnel management and royal land in the palace were handed over to Yin Tianxue, Jin Bingyun and Yao Yue respectively.

Of course no one had any objections.

However, some eunuchs and women all looked quietly at Liu Jin, the most senior eunuch in the palace.

In any case, most of these three rights were taken away from him.

The only ones who didn't take it seriously were Zhu Houzhao and Liu Jin himself.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I have been overwhelmed by the many duties I have shouldered, and I am afraid that I have failed Your Majesty's trust.

These matters have been handed over to the three ladies, and I feel relieved all of a sudden." Liu Jin looked relieved and smiled at Zhu Houzhao.

At least on the surface, he had no objection and was very happy.

"Haha, I knew long ago that you, Liu Banban, couldn't manage it, otherwise there wouldn't be so many problems.

But it doesn’t matter, Liu Banban, you didn’t mean it, I don’t blame you.

Liu Banban, you will help me with government affairs in the future." Zhu Houzhao really didn't take it seriously and said carelessly.

"Yes, I will never let Your Majesty down again." Liu Jin said firmly.

A gloating smile flashed across Wei Jinzhong's lowered eyes.

The other eunuchs did not react much, but the women felt more clearly the power and prestige of Emperor Shengwu, now their husbands.

Who is Liu Jin?

The leader of the three famous eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, now there are four eunuchs, with one more person, Wei Jinzhong.

Even Cao Zhengchun of the Eastern Depot, everyone knew that he would be suppressed by Liu Jin.

With one hand, she holds most of the power in the palace, and with the other hand, she controls the right to wear red clothes in the court.

But even such a person did not show the slightest displeasure when His Majesty deprived him of his power. Instead, he was filled with joy.

Are you really not unhappy at all and are really happy?

Most of the women did not believe it.

The only reason is that her husband, the emperor, has authority that almost disregards everything.

The emperor husband at this time no longer seemed like that 'big kid'.

After dealing with this matter, Zhu Houzhao called the officials who managed the Ming Dynasty Orphanage over, separated it from its original department, and handed it over to Fu Tianjiao and Hua Zhenzhen for management.

The action was so quick and swift that all the women were shocked.

The women were all well-informed and had never thought that handling state affairs could be so clean and efficient.

What you say is what you mean.

There was nothing else to do next, so Zhu Houzhao asked the women to return to his palace.

After being officially canonized as a concubine, each woman had her own palace, and corresponding eunuchs and maids.

Of course, they can also bring personal maids from their parents' homes.

Zhu Houzhao continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

Bai Fanghua also came to Bai Qing'er's palace, without any disguise at all.

Everyone knows their identities anyway, even His Majesty knows that they are not kind, so why hide them?
Just do it openly.

Anyway, there was nothing shameful about what they discussed.

'Your Majesty's keen perception is unparalleled in the world. You can directly judge whether a person is kind or not.

It is absolutely difficult to hide this from His Majesty.

We have to be more careful from now on,' Bai Fanghua said solemnly.

When she thought about what happened today, she felt depressed.

'For people like Your Majesty, we can only gain something if we treat them with sincerity. Any other means may only lead to bad consequences.

No matter what, you should first gain His Majesty's favor, and it would be best if you could get pregnant with a prince first.' Bai Qing'er nodded.

Bai Fanghua nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what is Lian Xiuxiu's identity like?" Bai Qing'er asked with a slight frown.

"The news just delivered, if nothing unexpected happens, is from the brothel. They have some connection with us, but they are not completely the same. We can make friends with them and win them over, but I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to advance and retreat together." Bai Fanghua shook his head and said with some regret.

Bai Qing'er understood and had no objection. She said in a somewhat cold tone: "We have lost a battle today. The power of the harem has been taken away by the righteous.

What should we do?'

'Don't be anxious, just wait for the opportunity. Qin Mengyao and the others are obviously also waiting for their chance.

In the end, it all depends on what opportunities His Majesty gives you?' Bai Fanghua said meaningfully.
