Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Retreat?

Chang En was in doubt, this kind of thing that cut off people's wealth, and offended a large group of powerful families, and was hated by others, there was no way out.

Today is carnival day for goldfish.

Half of the fish food in the food box had been thrown out by Gu Jiu.

She said to Chang En: Tell those seized mine owners that there are mines overseas, not only iron mines, but also gold mines. There are mines in the northwest and a large number of pastures. Who has the ability to manage pastures thousands of miles away, this palace give the pasture to whomever.

Chang En was dumbfounded.

Gu Jiu smiled and asked him, Is Eunuch Chang satisfied with this retreat?

Chang En was tongue-tied, Has Your Majesty agreed?

Such a big matter, of course, requires His Majesty's approval.

Chang En frowned, This old slave has to think about it.

Gu Jiu chuckled, Do you think that this palace is whimsical? There are mines overseas, this is the truth, not a lie. There are mines and pastures in the northwest, it is also true. Beirong was driven out of the prairie, the huge prairie, the big prairie If Zhou doesn't occupy it, sooner or later a second Beirong will grow in that place, and when there is no food, it will go south to plunder and become a confidant of Zhou.

Therefore, the imperial court cannot leave the prairie alone. What a pity to waste such a large amount of land. However, the imperial court is beyond its reach, and its personnel and financial resources are limited. What should we do? Drive the greedy people to occupy the prairie for the imperial court.

Those who dare to mine mines privately can be said to be the most greedy people in the world. For money, they dare to work hard and do things that others dare not do. The northwest prairie, his own pasture, and countless minerals waiting to be mined, how tempting it is. As long as Eunuch Chang has a good tongue and some persuasion, he will surely persuade a group of people to venture to the prairie.

Chang En was under great pressure, What's so important about overseas?

Gu Jiu said: Overseas there are mountains of gold and silver, vast land, fertile fields that grow three times a year, large forests that block out the sun, giant trees that are hundreds or even thousands of years old, and all kinds of rare things. The only trouble is What's worse is that the local aborigines don't listen to enlightenment, and they are barbaric like savages.

This palace can promise that whoever has the ability to occupy a mine will be allowed to mine for a hundred years. Whoever has the ability to occupy a piece of land belongs to his private property, and the court can prove it to him. These private properties can be passed down from generation to generation.

The palace can even promise to appoint them as officials sent by the imperial court overseas, starting with the sixth rank, and the subordinate officials will be appointed by themselves. Those who go to the northwest prairie will be treated the same way. They will be appointed as officials stationed in the prairie by the imperial court.

The Ministry of Officials will give them official documents.

This is a big deal.

It is tantamount to occupying those enclaves, no longer paying attention to the dignity of the court, and even giving up the power of the court, directly mobilizing the power of the people, and using the people of the people to seize the territory. In the future, when the overall situation is certain, the court forces will enter these enclaves again.

Chang En asked, Your Majesty, have you ever thought that when these greedy people occupy overseas and the prairie, they will definitely not give up the benefits and rights they have obtained.

Gu Jiu smiled, I don't need them to give up their rights and interests. I just need to take a rope to tie everyone into a chain of interests. Personal power is ultimately inferior to the power of the court. Therefore, When they are growing overseas in the prairie, the imperial court must also be proactive, cultivate themselves, and strengthen their strength.

Chang En asked after deliberation: Your Majesty, have you ever thought about the reaction of the courtiers?

Gu Jiu said: The officials in the court have gradually become clear. One group is aggressive and willing to accept new things and new trends of thought. The other group is stubborn and conservative, holding on to the ancestral family law and not compromising. All disputes in the court now are, in the final analysis, a struggle of consciousness. Should we be aggressive or conservative?

His Majesty has no intention of breaking the current situation, because the imperial court needs different voices, but it cannot allow the conservative faction to expand its sphere of influence. Therefore, the courtiers' reaction, the palace has long expected, and has the means to deal with it. The premise is that you have to complete the task assigned by the palace without compromise, and don't cause extra complications.

With heavy responsibilities on his shoulders, Chang En felt more and more pressured, I am afraid that I will fail my mother's entrustment.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, I believe that you have this ability, and I have high hopes for you. Whether Dazhou can flourish again, whether it can take a different path, requires the efforts of each of us. I believe that if Emperor Chengzong Wende It is still there, and I will agree with this palace’s decision.”

Chang En's lips opened and closed, Is the Northwest Army leaving?

Eunuch Chang is really sharp. Soon the court will get news that Xiliang has invaded again, and the Northwest Army has been ordered to fight back.

Chang En was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, So that's the case! No wonder Madam wants to conduct a mine inventory and drive the greedy mine owners to the northwest prairie.

As long as you know it, don't tell it. Gu Jiu reminded him.

Chang En bowed to accept the order, Don't worry, Madam, this old slave will not reveal a single word.

Empress Empress, the Empress Dowager and Princess Duan are here. Ma Xiaoliu stepped forward and reminded in a low voice.

Xu Yousi was sent out to work, so Gu Jiu called Ma Xiaoliu back to serve him.

Upon hearing this, Chang En hurriedly said goodbye.

Gu Jiu waved his hand, Go and get busy. The old Imperial College building has been vacated, and the personnel have already settled in. We are just waiting for you, the chief executive, to take up your post. Regarding the matter of mineral investigation, you should discuss it with the Shaofu. The plan is handed over to the palace.

Old slave obeys!

Chang En left in a hurry, avoiding Empress Dowager Pei and Princess Duan Xiao Qin'er.

Gu Jiu went up to greet her, I've seen the empress. How is the empress recently? Are the palace attendants attentive?

Empress Dowager Pei happily said, Thank you, Empress, for your concern. My palace is very good. It's not hot today, so I went out for a walk. Fortunately, Qin'er came to the palace to accompany me.

Greetings to Empress Dowager! Xiao Qin'er said all blessings.

Gu Jiu smiled and said, Your brother and sister are welcome. I will accompany my mother to visit the Imperial Garden.

You have a heart. The Empress Dowager Pei smiled, Everything is fine now, but this palace is too deserted, and only a few of us live in the huge harem. Fortunately, Qin'er brought her children into the palace every three days to pay her respects.

Xiao Qin'er lowered her head and said, It should.

Gu Jiu smiled and said: The empress thinks that the harem is deserted, why don't I issue a decree to ask the imperial court to order women to come into the palace in turn to talk with the empress.

No, no, no need. Empress Dowager Pei waved her hands again and again, If you find a wife for brother Yu earlier, the palace will be more lively.

It's not that Empress Dowager Pei has never thought of giving Liu Zhao a draft, but after the incident of Weiyang Palace being banned last year, she now has no guts to intervene in Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu's affairs.

Moreover, after many times of her probing, Gu Jiu became the queen, which was always stubborn and uncompromising.

Open a harem for Liu Zhao's draft?

hehe!

I'm afraid Gu Jiu will kill her as soon as she opens her mouth.

In all dynasties, it is rare for a queen to be as tough as Gu Jiu.

However, Liu Zhao indulged him as always.

To be an emperor, to be so fearful of guilt, is not afraid of being ridiculed in a hundred years.

Sometimes, Empress Dowager Pei gets angrier as she thinks about it.

She wished she could go back to twenty years ago and stop Liu Zhao from marrying Gu Jiu no matter what.

The queen is not tolerant and generous, and the emperor doesn't even dare to sleep with a court lady, let alone open a harem.

Empress Dowager Pei really wanted to sneer at Liu Zhao, living a miserable life.

But she endured it.

She doesn't count on Liu Zhao, she is counting on Liu Yu now.

Brother Yu is not young, you mother, shouldn't you also make plans for him?

Gu Jiu said with a smile: Thank you, Queen Mother, for caring about Brother Yu. But there is no rush for his marriage.

Why are you not in a hurry? He is about the same age and has children. The Queen Mother Pei was really anxious.

Gu Jiu said: He is the prince, he has his burden. His Majesty and I have our own plans for his marriage.

Empress Dowager Pei speculated: Could it be that there is no suitable candidate? No girl from a noble family is interested?

Gu Jiu raised a little bit, It's only the second year of Jingming, and there are so many things going on in the court, and the current situation is unpredictable. Brother Yu's marriage should wait for a few more years.

Empress Dowager Pei frowned.

Xiao Qin'er hurriedly came forward to change the subject, I met with my third sibling yesterday, and there was another disturbance in their house. I feel tired for her.

What happened to the third son's house? The Empress Dowager Pei was indeed attracted by Xiao Qin'er's topic.

When I am old, I like to be lively, and I prefer to watch other people's lively.

The third son Liu Yan is a concubine, and she has no sympathy for the chaos in the third son's house. On the contrary, I watched the excitement with relish.

Xiao Qin'er pursed her lips and smiled, and said: The third younger brother and sister own a herbal medicine store, and there was an accident some time ago, and someone died from eating the medicine from his family.

Why didn't I hear about such a big event? Empress Dowager Pei was extremely surprised.

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and waited for the next sentence.

Xiao Qin'er said: My daughter-in-law only heard about this two days ago. People died from eating medicinal herbs, so they must be investigated. After many investigations, it turned out that it was Mrs. Cai.

Cai, Liu Yan's original partner.

Her dowry nanny poisoned her and Liu Yan, and the incident was revealed, implicating the Cai family.

Later, the Cai family was ransacked and exiled. Emperor Chengzong Wende demoted the Cai family to Baolin, and married the Cui family for Liu Yan.

After so many years, is Mrs. Cai still alive? Empress Dowager Pei asked, surprised that Mrs. Cai was still alive.

Xiao Qin'er said: I have been living well, and I am not dead.

Empress Dowager Pei questioned, How did you find Mrs. Cai? She is a woman in the house, can she still change the medicinal materials in the medicinal shop through the air conditioner?

Xiao Qin'er said: She doesn't need to change the medicinal materials in the herbal shop, she just needs to spend money to buy her life, buy a person who is willing to die for money, and frame the medicinal shop of the third younger sibling.

Empress Dowager Pei nodded knowingly, What's the benefit of her doing this?

Xiao Qin'er said solemnly: Because she was ill, the medicinal materials came from the herb shop of the third younger sibling. She yelled that the third younger siblings wanted to harm her, and the medicinal materials were poisonous. If it wasn't for Jing Zhaoyin's discernment, maybe her trick would have succeeded. Three My brother and sister cried to me yesterday, saying that when the accident happened, the third child didn’t trust her, and even believed Cai’s words for a while. She was very wronged and ran to me and cried for a long time.”
