Ming dynasty grand dude

Zhang Lun quietly got up and put on his robe, while old butler Zhou had already carefully covered his master with a blanket.

And carefully and the housekeeper Xiao Zhou slowly pushed the old man out of the bathroom on the massage bed, after all, the water vapor here is too heavy.

Putting on dry clothes and going out, the attendant Gong Yuqian Yingzi trotted over and whispered to her Highness.

Just now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince brought two internal officials here in a hurry, and then called His Royal Highness Princess and Sister Miao An away.

It is said that the nobles in the harem want to summon them.

Chapter 178 Ashikaga's ingenious plan to calm the chaos, lost to Miao'an Xiaojiaohan

Miao An blinked her almond eyes, and together with Zhuang Rongrong's Ashikaga Crane, looked at the old queen and empress who were smiling and talking to them.

The old queen looked at the two daughters and sighed in her heart, Chi Hu'er is really lucky.

Even if these two women stand together, they each have their own strengths, and there is a sense of rivalry.

Miao An is playful and delicate like an elf, making people happy when they see her, and she is extremely pleasant.

And this Ashikaga Crane is dignified, charming, and has an outstanding demeanor, which is quite like everyone.

"The Ai family doesn't want to make any lies with you anymore. I'm looking for the two of you this time because I want you to give me some advice."

After dismissing Xiao Zhengde a little tiredly, the old lady smiled at the two daughters and sighed softly.

"You guys probably know about the incident between the Ai family and the empress's family who didn't live up to expectations!"

Of course Miao An and Ashikaga Tsuru knew about it, and Zhang Lun didn't hide this matter from them.

It's just that Miao'an doesn't care much about such things. For her, this matter is not as important as the young master kicking the quilt at night.

Ashikaga Tsuru is slightly concerned, but only slightly.

But for her, this matter is not as important as her husband ate a few extra pieces of mutton for dinner last night, so she has to ask the cook to cook more today.

"Grace comes from above, and the emperor's favor is respected."

It was Ashikaga Tsuru who spoke first, but she smiled sweetly, bowed slightly and said softly: "My daughter's suggestion is that it is best to follow His Majesty's wishes."

"Oh?! Your Royal Highness, please come!"

When the Queen Mother heard this and combined with what Queen Zhang said before, she suddenly realized something.

"The favor of the empress dowager and empress all comes from the emperor's family. If the emperor's favor is still there, everything will be safe. If the emperor's favor is lost, everything will cease."

Ashikaga Crane's silver plate was full of nobility, and said softly: "So the most urgent thing is to be favored by Emperor Gu."

When the Queen Mother heard this, her eyes lit up and she applauded in her heart, ah!

As long as the emperor's favor is still there, what do you want? Isn't it just a matter of the emperor's words? !

"Your Highness's words are very reasonable!" Empress Zhang also nodded with burning eyes, "Let's ask how to handle this matter?!"

Ashikaga smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your Majesty urgently needs the support of the rich and noble relatives involved at this time, and the Empress Dowager and Empress are the most important things in this matter!"

"So... If we talk about suggestions, there are two points. One is to ask the queen mother and empress to issue two orders:

First, denounce him at home for not obeying the law and for being a debtor to the emperor.There must be no mistake in ordering him to immediately return the occupied official land and garrison land.

The second is to go to the discipline camp, which is also reprimanded and ordered to study and repent. "

"If you commit the crime again after being disciplined, please ask your majesty to seize the title and demote him to the Nine Sides!"

After a pause, Ashikaga bowed slightly and continued: "Furthermore, the empress dowager and empress should go to His Majesty to apologize in public."

"And ask Your Majesty to order the household department to go and measure the returned land of the two families..."

At the beginning, the old lady and Queen Zhang were still a little confused. Isn't this a disadvantage for the family?

But then combined with the "emperor's favor" that Ashikaga Tsuru said just now, I suddenly understood that this is the name of Natou, and I am retreating to advance!

Your Majesty needs the support of the wealthy and noble relatives involved, and the two of you don't hesitate to take the lead in cutting flesh to give Your Majesty a step.

How big is this person? !How big is this side!

After this incident, His Majesty owed favors to the two families. Wouldn't the Emperor not make up for it? !

One is his imperial grandmother, and the other is his queen.

They are all cutting their own flesh to support themselves, the emperor can make the two families suffer while being moved? !

The emperor is rich in the world, as long as the emperor's favor is still there, what is the benefit? Isn't it just a matter of one sentence? !

"Princess's words are like turning the clouds to see the sun, the old man and the queen owe you a favor!"

The Empress Dowager Zhou pondered for a while, then slowly raised her head to look at Ashikaga Crane and said solemnly: "Princess will need to walk around the palace more in the future."

"The empress dowager and the empress do not dislike the minister's female transformation into an outlander, and the minister's daughter is willing."

Empress Dowager Zhou saw Miao An who was blinking her almond eyes thoughtfully at this time, and immediately smiled: "Little Fubao Miao An, do you have any suggestions?!"

This is the day when Miao'an came to Da Nei to practice martial arts, and later talked about the story of Fusang with the Queen Mother.

When the old queen was happy and praised her as a lucky baby, Chen Weizhen next to her smiled and said if she didn't like sister Miao'an, she should be called Fu Bao!

Miao An felt that this name was a blessing, so she accepted it with a smile.

"If you go back to the queen mother, Miao An doesn't have any suggestions. I just think of a sentence from the young master."

The old queen was originally a die-hard fan of the Jade Chihu, and she immediately became interested when she heard the words of the idiot she liked.

"Your young master is a great talent, what he said must be very reasonable! Let me listen to you."

Ashikaga sighed inwardly, Miao An, that damned girl, is much more pleasing than herself.

Look at the old lady who claimed to be a "sorrowful family" when she first met her, until she gave her an idea before changing to an "old body".

When they came to Miao'an, they immediately called themselves "Old Body".

Don't underestimate this change of title, in fact, it reflects the closeness and closeness.

"Aijia" is meeting Ashikaga Crane in a ceremonial scene, while "Old Man" is talking to Miaoānlā.

The difference can also be seen in the names of the two, calling Miao'an is "Miao'an Xiaofubao".

When you arrive at Ashikaga Crane, you will be "His Royal Highness" and "His Royal Highness".

"The young master said, man! If you are busy, there will be no trouble, and if you are idle, gossip will arise!"

Miao An tried her best to put on the expression of her handsome son when he said this: "If you don't work in farming, you don't know the suffering. It will be harmful after a long time!"

Hearing Miao An's words, the old queen could not help but bow her head and ponder, even if she had an Ashikaga plan to get through this time.

What about next time?What about in the future?

Queen Zhang also felt that these words were thought-provoking, and she could still save her for a while.

But who can guarantee that you can pass the test every time? !Who can guarantee that they will not commit another crime in the future? !

"Except for the battle, the young master will change the coarse cloth to take care of the farmland and flower and fruit forest every day in the village."

But Miao An blinked her almond eyes, and said in a voice like a green bird: "The children in the family, besides studying and practicing martial arts, they also need to do farming work!"

"Don't talk about them, I also need to work with Brother Hu to do farming."

But at this time, the maid came to report that Xiao Zhengde had come back.

Xiao Zhengde, who ran back huffing and puffing, happened to hear Miao An say that Mr. Zhang was doing farm work, and immediately interjected.

"If you don't work in farming, you really don't know the pain of food. Lu Fangweng's saying, "What is done on paper is always shallow, and I know that this matter must be practiced" is really true."

At this time, Liu Jin, who was waiting outside the door, seemed to want to say something but quickly lowered her head.

The Empress Dowager Zhou was sitting on the Arhat bed in the middle of the upper head, and naturally saw Liu Jin outside the door at a glance.

"Is that the internal official serving the prince? What do you want to say, you can come to Ai's house to listen."

Liu Jin bowed in after getting permission, and said respectfully after saying his name: "The minister wants to say that the farming work made by the young master is indeed of great use to the prince!"

Chapter 179 The two palaces plan to meet together, cut blood and flesh to make steps

"Oh?! Get up and talk to Aijia."

Hearing Liu Jin say that it was really useful, Queen Mother Zhou was immediately interested.

But Liu Jin got up respectfully, and said in a low voice, "If you go back to the queen mother, your highness never cared about the cost of the East Palace before the young man took your highness to farm."

"After farming, His Highness actually asked about the expenses in the palace..."

But Liu Jin bowed and said softly, "I also asked the internal officials to make a list, reducing many reports to the internal treasury..."

Xiao Zhengde never really cared about the expenses in the palace before, and took everything for granted.

But after working in the field with Zhang Xiaogong for a few days, chatting with the old farmers in the village for a while.

When he returned to the palace, he suddenly wanted to know how much his East Palace cost.

I don't know if I don't look at it, but I was suddenly shocked when I saw it.

Although the cost of the East Palace has been reduced a lot by Emperor Hongzhi, it is his only son after all.

Therefore, he has not reduced many standards, nor will he pay so much attention to each item of cost.

Little Zhengde is different, he can compare the expenses in his East Palace item by item.

Except for some necessary places in his bedroom, study and the residence of the internal officials, there is no need to light candles.

There is no need to prepare meals when you are not in the palace, you only need to prepare meals for other officials in the palace.

Most of the pastries are not eaten by myself, so I take them out and don’t need to prepare them...

After all kinds of deletions, Xiao Zhengde was surprised to find that he could save hundreds of taels of silver every day.

Thinking of the old farmer in Zhuangzi saying that his family is not bad, he can earn more than 20 taels of silver a year.

The old farmer was still very proud at the time, saying that it would be good for other families to earn two dollars a year.

And he himself consumes hundreds of taels a day, which is equivalent to the money saved by dozens of their families in a year...

The fact that the cost of the Eastern Palace was cut by the prince himself was soon known by the three great scholars and Emperor Hongzhi.

It is also because of this that they believe more and more that it is the right decision to hand over the crown prince to Chi Huer to discipline him!

The queen mother and the queen were thoughtful when they heard this, and looked at each other, and the queen mother nodded imperceptibly...

When Miao'an and Ashikaga Crane returned to Zhuangzi, news spread from the capital.

First of all, during the noon dynasty, the Empress Dowager Zhou and Empress Zhang came to the imperial court together to seek an audience.

All of the courtiers felt their hearts skip a beat. They all knew that the close relatives of these two palace dignitaries had been arrested!

Emperor Hongzhi went to welcome the Empress Dowager into the hall without changing his face.

This is an era that pays attention to etiquette. No matter whether it is the queen or the empress dowager, it is said that they should not appear in the hall of discussion.

But the Empress Dowager appeared, so no matter what, the emperor had to welcome her in person.

This is benevolence and filial piety, and benevolence and filial piety are the most important in the etiquette system.

When the emperor saw the empress dowager, he had to salute first, and then the empress dowager would return or waive the salute.

The courtiers and even most of the nobles in the court thought that the old queen and the queen came together to make trouble.

However, what they didn't expect was that the old queen and the queen actually bowed down to plead guilty!

This operation immediately blinded the eyes of all the courtiers and noble relatives, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Emperor Hongzhi quickly pulled the two together, and he said impassionedly that he should not favoritism for the sake of the country, and pleaded guilty to the two.

The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager felt extremely ashamed for the loss of Guo Chaocheng by not checking for a while, so that the family had no reason to do so.

He also informed the emperor that the two of them had made a decree. On the one hand, they reprimanded their respective families and ordered them to return the occupied officials and the second fields.

On the other hand, they went to the correctional camp and reprimanded their relatives for ordering them to study and learn the etiquette without slack.

And ask your Majesty to send all the ministries to cooperate in measuring the acres of land originally belonging to officials and Tun Ertian at home, and return them to the treasury and the guard.

At this moment, the civil and military officials of Manchu Dynasty were full of crap, so confused!

God horse operation is this? !

If the wealthy and noble relatives directly lose their concubines, what the fuck!Both of them spit out the official land and farmland they occupied.

Doesn't that mean we have to throw up too? !
