The Six Palaces of Favorites: The Black-bellied Emperor's Cold Concubine

1116 Chapter 5 Conspiracy of Each Other ([-])
Ye Hanyu took a few steps back in shock from her tone, shook her head and looked at her with a very strange look and said, "It turns out that not only I have changed, but you have also changed. The one who was frightened when she saw Lan Guiren's body Mrs. Wan, who couldn't afford to be sick, has already died, even if someone dies in front of you, you probably wouldn't blink again, would you?"

"I have always been forgiving and forgiving when dealing with affairs, but if you want to die, I will not stop you." Qingchen turned around coldly, picked up the Zihao on the table and opened the account book to prepare After reviewing the expenditure regulations of each palace for this month, he said indifferently: "Yun Lan, see off the guests."

Looking at her calm and indifferent look, Yubi suddenly felt a strange feeling in her heart. It seemed that she knew that she was not a thing in the pool a long time ago, and now she holds the power of life and death in the entire harem, so condescending Looking at herself indifferently, Yubi felt that there was already a thick wall between the two of them, and they could no longer cross that barrier.

But this feeling of being oppressed by others is always uncomfortable, Ye Hanyu didn't wait for Yun Lan to invite her, and walked away with Jing Shu with a determined expression on her face.

Jinxiu fanned her fan behind her and asked, "Your Majesty, if Concubine Yu didn't instigate this matter, could it really be Concubine Ning who couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move?"

Qingchen said calmly without raising his head: "Jinxiu, you have to know that some of the maids and eunuchs in this palace work for others because they are greedy for money, and many of them are out of necessity. Whether they are bribed or coerced, such things are not only Concubine Ning can do it, so we don't have to bother to guess who it is right now. Since someone wants to fight against Bengong, she will never stop. Sooner or later, Bengong will be able to find her out. Just settle the old hatred together."

Jinxiu nodded slightly, put down her fan and asked, "Your Majesty, it's getting hotter and hotter, my servant is going to bring you a bowl of mung bean soup to cool off?"

"Alright, you guys should start packing these two days. It's time to go to the palace to escape the summer heat." Qingchen couldn't help turning his head to look out the window. The white sun outside made people's eyes hurt. The wind that blows in is warm.At this time, the concubines had already changed into gauze clothes. In her own palace, she was more casual, so she unbuttoned two of the collar buttons. Irritable.

After taking two sips of a bowl of mung bean soup, Qinxue ran in and said, "Mother, Liang Shuyi is here."

Qingchen hurriedly said: "It's a hot day, let people wait outside, please come in quickly, and bring a bowl of mung bean soup to Liang Shuyi."

Qinxue agreed to go out, and after a while, Liang Shuyi came in with Yuwei, wiping her red and swollen eyes with wet tears at the corners of her eyes.

Qingchen didn't know why it made her so sad, so he hurriedly got up and lifted Liang Shuyi who was about to salute, and asked, "Sister, what's wrong, but did someone make you angry? You also know that the concubines in this palace are idle. There's nothing to do, it's just a pastime to quarrel with others. If you hear something ugly, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as them. Besides, you are now a fourth-rank Shuyi. If anyone offends you, you can punish her. Why bother Are you so angry?"

But who would have thought that after she finished speaking, Liang Shuyi cried even harder, plopped on the ground and sobbed: "Chen'er, I can only count on you now. The emperor just got angry in the imperial study and sent my father and brother I was demoted and sent to jail, I went to the imperial study to ask for an audience, but the emperor refused to see me anyway, I have no favor, I am not favored by the emperor, and the imperial court naturally has nothing to say, so I can only come to you for help."

Qingchen was shocked, confused by her crying, not knowing exactly what happened, He Yunlan helped her up, and asked someone to serve her tea, then comforted her: "Sister, drink some tea first , Take a breath and slowly explain to me clearly, why did the emperor send Mr. Ji to prison?"

Liang Shuyi choked and cried for a while, and when she calmed down, she said anxiously: "You have just returned to the palace, and you probably don't know that the emperor has been rectifying the imperial court in the past two years, and what kind of new policy is going to be implemented to enrich the country and strengthen the army. , all those who opposed in the court, even the clan's in-laws, the emperor showed no mercy.

Nowadays, most of the important positions in the imperial court are many young and promising officials who were personally selected by the emperor. In the past, many in-laws and important ministers were promoted by the emperor and demoted to high-ranking officials, but the positions were all idle. , It is tantamount to providing them for the elderly.

Now the emperor wants to deprive the local officials of their land and distribute it to the people, saying that it is enough for the officials of the court to eat the state's salary, but it is not right to occupy so much land. Officials above the senior level must return all the arable land in their hands to the people. My father also has good intentions. He is afraid that the emperor's willful actions will cause dissatisfaction among local officials. This is a major event that will shake the foundation of the country. I couldn't listen to it, so I sent my father and brother directly to prison, and said that my father was too pedantic to be reused. "

Liang Shuyi and his party said, crying even more sadly.

"So that's how it is." Qingchen sighed lightly, feeling that this matter is really tricky. The courtiers who have done a lot of merit, before the emperor rewarded not only the salaries of high officials, but also land mansions, mulberry lake bays, and as usual, There is no need to pay taxes for the production of cultivated land in the hands of officials at all levels.

And the land held by these people is the most fertile farmland without even thinking about it. In this way, it is difficult for the local people to get good land to grow crops. Life is even more difficult.However, if those officials suddenly spit out such a large amount of income, it might not be so easy, and it might cause turmoil in the court. Mr. Ji's worries are not unreasonable.

Qingchen felt heavy in his heart, and felt that the emperor's doing this was tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger. Isn't it just for profit to be an official for ten years, and isn't the emperor afraid of the rebellion of officials at all levels by doing this?
Uneasy twisting the veil in his hand, Qingchen said heavily: "The emperor is an ambitious person, and he was oppressed by the Qin and Lin families before. What the emperor wants to do, he can't help himself in everything. He has held his breath for too long. Now that Qiankun is in his own hands, it is not surprising that he must drastically rectify the Chao Gang. I can't say that his decision is wrong, because it is also a good thing that benefits the people, but I feel that I am too impatient There may be other ways to get those officials to hand over the land in their hands, so it is really inappropriate to make such an arbitrary order."

Liang Shuyi was surprised and said: "Don't you think the emperor's decision is wrong? How can someone who is an emperor go to compete with his subjects for profit?"
