Di Daughter's Interpretation

Chapter 75

The second edict is to exempt taxation for two years in Shaanxi, Zhejiang, Shandong, Ningxia, Fujian and other places, and to set up new counties to appease bandits and bandits to open up wasteland, and to allow those who have cultivated land to be registered as good people. matter, will not be held accountable.

Along with this edict, twenty well-known and honest civil servants will join forces with the general officers who are suppressing the bandits. Depending on the local situation, they will suppress or appease the bandits and bandits, and put them down as soon as possible. banditry.The new emperor personally gave a farewell party for the twenty civil servants, "The stability of the people and the peace of the country depend on your ministers!" There can be no more chaos.There are Mongols on the northwest border, Jurchens in the northeast, and Japanese crowns and pirates in the southeast. The interior of the Celestial Dynasty really cannot be chaotic, otherwise, the country will be in danger.

An Zan was also among the [-] civil servants. He was ordered to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, and cooperated with Yuepei, Marquis of Jingning, to sort out the territory of Shaanxi. "Shaanxi is Qing's hometown," the new emperor summoned him alone in the Hall of Qinzheng, and encouraged him warmly, "You must love the people in your hometown, and you must make sure that the people in Shaanxi can live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible!" The rogues and bandits in Shaanxi are the most troublesome. Drilling into the deep mountains, the officers and soldiers are not familiar with the terrain, so there is nothing they can do.

An Zan solemnly promised that "I will do my best to live up to your Majesty's entrustment!" Shaanxi is his hometown, so there is nothing he would not like to return to his hometown to serve his father and fellow villagers.Immediately, he expressed his loyalty and determination to the new emperor, and the emperor could not do without a few words of encouragement. An Zan paused and exited the hall.

Will Anjieyu scold me?The emperor watched An Zan take a few steps back and walked out of the palace gate, thinking with a smile.This bold young lady is very filial, knowing that her father was sent far away and could not be reunited with the whole family, wouldn't she feel unhappy?

The eunuch Wei Shuofeng came in respectfully and returned, "Your Majesty, the princess and the eldest prince have arrived, please see the emperor." The emperor's original wife, Qin Wangfei Jiang, has been bringing the eldest son of Qin Wang to the Taiyuan vassal palace. , now just arrived in the capital, just entered the palace.

It stands to reason that since Jiang is the emperor's original wife, she should naturally be made a queen.However, the emperor never mentioned the matter of establishing a queen, so Wei Shuofeng had no choice but to call Jiang Shi "Princess Concubine".Hearing that his wife had arrived and his son had arrived, the emperor was not overjoyed, "Xuan." The emperor said lightly.

A young lady walked in with a two or three-year-old boy.This young lady was dressed in an apricot yellow palace dress, with a face like a silver plate, and she was very blessed. After entering the palace, she fell down on the ground and saluted according to the palace rules, "I pay my respects to the emperor." The little boy stood beside her, looking at Looking at the emperor, hey, who is this? It looks familiar.

The emperor smiled and said, "Ah De doesn't know his father? Come here, my father will hug you." He stretched out his hand on the throne and ordered Ade to come over.The little boy looked at it for a while, probably felt that this person looked familiar, and walked towards him crookedly. The emperor picked him up and held him high, and the little boy giggled.

The emperor hugged his son and said with a smile, "Princess, please get up and give me a seat." Mrs. Jiang thanked in a low voice, got up and sat on the chair under the emperor's head, hanging her head and did not speak.princess?He became the emperor, shouldn't he be the queen?

Jiang Shi is the daughter of an eighth-rank petty official.This is the practice of this dynasty: when the prince chooses a mate, he only chooses from low-level officials or innocent civilians, and does not marry women from aristocratic families.It may be because of the thorough implementation of this practice, so there has never been such a thing as the dictatorship of foreign relatives in more than 200 years in this dynasty.

The emperor hugged Ade for a while, got up and laughed and said, "Let's go to see the grandmother." He took his wife and son to the Cisheng Palace and met the Queen Mother.The Empress Dowager didn't care about the concubine's face, so she asked comforting words such as "the journey was hard" and then focused on teasing Ade, "This child looks like you! It's exactly the same as when you were a child!" The Empress Dowager said contentedly.

Concubine Shu's children and grandchildren are all dead, and her old enemies can no longer threaten her.Although the current emperor was not her own, she raised her with her own hands, extremely filial and respectful.The Queen Mother lived a comfortable life, but sometimes she felt lonely inevitably.The arrival of Ade gave the queen mother a refreshed mind.

"It's rare for him to fall into his mother's eye," the emperor said with a smile. "If so, I beg my mother to educate him, can I do it? This is his blessing, but my mother will be tired."

The Queen Mother laughed so hard that her eyes became slits, "Don't be tired! Don't be tired!" She already liked Ade, but now she couldn't let him go.Ade is also well-behaved, smiling sweetly at the queen mother, not admitting to life at all.

Jiang Shi suddenly panicked.Ade was raised by the queen mother?Then what is my aunt doing?Although Ade was born by the concubine Liang of the palace, he has always been raised by himself.Her family background is not high, and the queen mother and her elders are the same, and her family background is also low!
The emperor was busy with government affairs, so he only sat in the Cisheng Palace for a while and left in a hurry.The Queen Mother shook her head affectionately, his half-brother ignored government affairs all day long, and he only cared about government affairs from morning till night!Look at this harem, there is not even a Yingying Yanyan, it is too deserted.

Mrs. Jiang paid her respects to the Empress Dowager and rested in Yuxiu Palace.As for the concubines Liang and the others who came from the Taiyuan feudal prince's mansion, they didn't even see the emperor's face, nor were they qualified to meet the queen mother, but were ordered to settle down in Zhongxiu Palace.The palace room is not luxurious, and the expenses are not generous, and there are only a few palace maids assigned here. Is this a palace concubine?Not at all proud, Mrs. Liang was discouraged.She originally thought that she was the biological mother of the eldest prince, and that she should live a happy life like a fairy after entering the palace, but she didn't know it at all.

Mrs. Liang couldn't help complaining.The palace maid Yufen pursed her lips and smiled, "The emperor is kind enough to let three thousand palace maids out of the palace. The servants are young and have no parents at home, otherwise they will also be released." I heard that the emperor let the palace maids out of the palace. One is to be sympathetic, and the other is to save money.Now in this imperial palace, one by one compares frugality to curry favor with the emperor, who dares to complain about insufficient expenses and not enough extravagance?
"Empress Duan Jing, the Holy Majesty's sister-in-law, has such a noble body, and now there are only five or six maids in the Jingning Palace. They also weave cloth and make clothes by themselves! Empress Duan Jing said that the country's affairs are difficult If you can save it, save it.” Since her husband died of a sudden illness, Empress Duan Jing has lived in seclusion in the deep palace.

Mrs. Liang was very disappointed. "I used to hear people talk about how rich and honored the imperial palace is. I heard that not only the emperor and empress, but even the eunuchs are rich!" Yufen said seriously, "Yes, the eunuchs are rich. After Cheng De, the eunuch of Bingbi, was given to death, the gold and silver treasures seized from his home piled up into a hill!" If you have money, you take it to the underworld to spend it?It's money or life.

Liang was stunned for a long time.Later, he secretly noticed that not only himself, but also Mrs. Jiang and the queen mother were also dressed frugally, so he believed the words of the court lady Yufen.In this palace, it is indeed frugal to please the emperor.After that, Liang's also compared saving, no longer wanting things, and comparing food and clothing.

"The emperor is very rare now," the queen mother took Jiang's hand and sighed, "The Jurchens in the northeast are invading; the Mongols in the northwest are not stopping; the pirates in the southeast have repeatedly invaded with pirates; No way! We are like crabs with no legs, we can't help him with anything, just don't make trouble for him! Good boy, we must live in peace in the harem, don't let him worry about it." Jiang was originally a little resentful, this time Shi Ye nodded again and again, "What mother said is true." He worked day and night in the Palace of Qinzheng, it was really hard.

It is not easy for the emperor to rebel and ascend the throne, and it is even more difficult to become the emperor.What his half-brother left behind was a complete mess, and it would take too much time, effort and effort to clean up the mess.

At midnight, the Qinzheng Hall was still lit, and the emperor was still reviewing the memorials under the lights. "... Ningyuan is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the sea on one side... Although Liaodong is large, it is necessary to attack Shanhaiguan..." Seeing this memorial, the emperor thought about it and smiled.This one looks silly, but it's not.Before going to Liaodong, he asked for the Shenwu Camp and the red cannon; after arriving in Liaodong, he first built a city in Ningyuan to resist the Jurchens.Looking at the reasons why he wants to build a city in Ningyuan, it is really clear one by one.

Yue Ting all the way, Shen Mai and Zhang Yu all the way, can the two groups drive away Jurchen?The emperor patted his numb shoulders, Zhang Yu, Yue Ting, general Huzi, it's up to you!
Fu Shen, Fu Zimu and his son guarded the Xuan Mansion to fight against the Mongols; Fan Chuan went to the southeast to deal with Japanese pirates;The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, it was not easy for Emperor Taizu to create this foundation, and it must not be destroyed in my hands!He cheered up and continued to read the memorial.

Time flies like a white horse, and more than a year has passed without knowing it.In the beautiful spring, An Rushao wrote big characters at the desk for a while, "Sister, my hands are sore." He looked up at Xie Yu and said pitifully.

Xie Yu put down the book in his hand and walked over to have a look.Well, the writing is not bad, and it has been neatly done. "Ru Shao's hands are sore, so let's take a break and write again, okay?" Xie Yu said understandingly.

An Rushao raised his arms and shouted, "Sister is so kind!" He quickly put away his pen and ink, "Sister, I'll go out and play for a while!" Before Xie Yu could agree, he was already yelling "Xiaobai, Xiaobai" and ran Went out to play with Xiaobai.

Xie Yu found it funny.After a while, An Rushao and Xiaobai ran in panting hand in hand, "Sister, when will the bearded brother come back?" An Rushao asked earnestly.They were playing and thinking of "big bearded brother".The bearded brother is so fun, but it's a pity he went to beat the Jurchen!

Xie Yu squatted down, took out a handkerchief to wipe off the sweat of An Rushao and Xiao Bai, and said softly, "Soon, the bearded brother will be back soon." He has already won the battle, a big victory.

A month ago, under the city of Ningyuan, Jurchen Dure Khan personally led his troops to attack. Big Beard ordered the gunners to fire. One shell landed in the Jurchen camp and hit a large yellow flag.

Afterwards, the Jurchens, who had always been brave in battle, receded like a tide.Ten days later, news spread that the Jurchen Dure Khan had died of illness, and the Jurchen Ministry returned to Jianzhou City.Zhang Yu and Shen Mai cooperated with Yue Ting to recover the Hetao area and the homeland of Eastern Liaodong.

"Not only the big bearded brother will be back soon, but also daddy." Xie Yu smiled and said, "Does Ru Shao miss daddy?"The last time we met in a hurry, An Rushao hid in Tan Ying's arms and refused to call him "Daddy". This time, he must be sensible, right?

An Rushao frowned, "Daddy?" How could there be a daddy?Only mother and sister will do.Daddy?Can I have my dad?he thought anxiously.
