Tyrant Whitewashing Plan [Transmigration Book]

It's a pity that no matter how rich the national treasury is, it's also the national treasury, not Xiao Jining's private treasury, and he still doesn't have much money.

The treasury is rich, and life is better than that of officials and people living in the harem who receive salaries from all over the country.

As a result, Xiao Jining did not expect that when the life in the harem got better, some people would start to make trouble - the leader didn't think of anything else, only the pure empress dowager.

It was early morning that day, and Xiao Jining was on his way to pay his respects to Shoukang Palace. Halfway there, a young eunuch hurried over, knelt down in front of Xiao Jining, and said, "Your Majesty! It's not good, the queen mother and the queen are arguing." Wake up, go and have a look!"

"Arguing?" Xiao Jining frowned upon hearing this.

In his impression, Ruan Jiaren quarreled with the Empress Dowager Chun not infrequently. It would be more accurate to say that it was commonplace, but it never reached the point where he was asked to "justice". Xiao Jining felt strange and asked the palace people to step up He lost his footsteps and hurriedly sent him to Shoukang Palace.

But this time it was probably really noisy. As soon as Xiao Jining stepped into the gate of Shoukang Palace, he saw Ruan Jiaren kneeling in front of the Queen Mother Chun. Calm, but the knuckles holding the teacup turned white.

"Join the emperor—" Seeing Xiao Jining approaching, Tan Qingxuan put down her teacup and saluted him.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Jining looked around the main hall, walked over and helped Ruan Jiaren, "Get up and talk."

As soon as Xiao Jining finished speaking, Ruan Jiaren stood up with the support of the court lady, and Qin Fengting, the eldest court lady next to Ruan Jiaren, immediately explained to Xiao Jining: "The queen and the queen mother had a dispute over the draft, and the queen mother punished the queen by kneeling down."

No matter how noisy it was, whoever spoke up first, Xiao Jining was helping Ruan Jiaren, so he said: "Queen Mother, it is her fault for the queen to contradict you, but the punishment for kneeling has already been punished, forget it Bar."

But Xiao Jining's words ignited the anger of the pure queen mother - Ruan Jiaren, the queen, has not given her any good looks since the day she entered the palace, and it is not a day or two for the two to fight each other, so she Will support Tan Qingxuan to become a noble concubine, intending to use this to check and balance the queen.

However, Tan Qingxuan is also a useless one. The Empress Dowager Chun did not expect that Tan Qingxuan, who was supported by herself, often confronts the queen, but she does not listen to her own words. hand.

Seeing that the two of them were half favored by the emperor, not to mention they were both embarrassing themselves, the Empress Dowager Chun thought about adding more newcomers to the harem, and embarrassing the two of them as well.

It's just that to add new people to the harem, other than the emperor himself willing to accept some newcomers into the palace, the only way is through drafting.And the talent show has always been arranged by the empress. Today, when Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan came to pay their respects, the Empress Dowager Chun mentioned it.

But Ruan Jiaren flatly rejected the draft, using the reason that the emperor had just ascended the throne, the treasury was not rich, and the emperor had no intention of adding newcomers to the harem, so the matter was over.

How can the pure queen mother agree?She has heard about the abundant agriculture this year and the abundance of the national treasury, but now Ruan Jiaren refuses her with this kind of reason, is she clearly trying to deceive her?However, the Queen Mother Chun also knew that neither Ruan Jiaren nor Tan Qingxuan would be too willing to mention the draft, because it involved the vital interests of both of them, so she even compromised. Following Ruan Jiaren's words, since the national treasury is not rich, It would have been better if the draft was simpler, and it didn't have to be a big deal, but Ruan Jiaren still refused and didn't give up half a step.

After being rejected many times, the Empress Dowager Chun was also annoyed. Dang Lian reprimanded Ruan Jiaren for her refusal to hold the talent show as an act of jealousy, and asked her to kneel down and admit her mistake.

Ruan Jiaren heard the words, let alone knelt down, she didn't even move, she was still sitting on the chair drinking tea, that's why the Queen Mother Chun was furious.

As a result, Ruan Jiaren, who was still unwilling to kneel at that time, heard the eunuch's long voice, "The emperor is here—" and immediately knelt down, as if being bullied by her queen mother.

So when the Empress Dowager Chun heard Qin Fengting's upside-down words, she was furious and said, "When did the Ai family punish the queen by kneeling?!"

"Empress Dowager, you are not young, and you are hurting yourself with anger." Xiao Jining said calmly, "Whether you punished the Empress to kneel or not, the Empress has knelt down and confessed to you after all, so let's just let it go."

"Emperor, you—!" Although the Empress Dowager Chun knew that her son would never turn to her, she heard that Xiao Ji Ning was favoring Ruan Jiaren in the open and in the dark, and she still couldn't help being furious when she even made a sarcasm about how old she was.

But Xiao Jining really didn't want to hear more from her, so he changed the subject and said: "I just heard that you and the queen had a dispute over the draft?"

"Yes." The Empress Dowager Chun knew that she couldn't get anything good, so she decided to talk more about the business after hearing the words, "The empress has been in the palace for nearly half a year, but there is no news in her stomach. , so as to spread branches and leaves for the royal family."

The Empress Dowager Chun felt that no matter whether Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan were willing to hold a talent show, as long as this matter was mentioned in front of Xiao Jining, Xiao Jining would definitely agree.

After all, is there any man in this world who doesn't love new ones?

The Empress Dowager Chun did not believe that Xiao Jining had ascended to the position of the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, but after gaining countless beauties in the world, he could still guard these two women in the harem not to be tempted by other women.

The most important thing is that marriage has been the best way to stabilize the political situation since ancient times. There are many officials in the previous dynasty who want to send their daughters to the palace. He is loyal to Xiao Jining, so the draft is a win-win thing for everyone except Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren, and Xiao Jining has no reason to disagree.

The Empress Dowager Chun lowered her voice, her face was soft, and she told Xiao Jining these truths earnestly. In her words, she also complained openly and secretly that Ruan Jiaren could not have children by herself, and she refused to hold a draft. She was too jealous and unworthy to be in charge of six The power of the palace.In the end, he said: "Even if the emperor doesn't have any beautiful girls that he particularly likes, he can choose a few decent ones and put them in the harem to serve you. Your father, at your age, already has a former prince and eldest princess."

Xiao Jining held the teacup with downcast eyes, as if he was listening carefully to what the Empress Dowager Chun said.

The Empress Dowager Chun also thought that Xiao Jining had listened to her words and was a little tempted by the draft, but she didn't want Xiao Jining to sip her tea and say: "Brother Seven and Eight Emperors are three years older than me, but they haven't Marrying the princess, why am I in such a rush to draft?"

This is rejected.

The Empress Dowager Chun frowned, and immediately said: "You are the emperor, and they are princes, how can we talk about them together?"

Xiao Jining said again: "Before that, there were quite a few people in the harem of the second and fourth brothers, and I didn't see them giving birth to a son."

The Queen Mother has nothing to say.

It's strange to say that Emperor Yunhong has many sons but few daughters, that's why he spoiled Yaoguang with such an unscrupulous temper. If it wasn't that he once favored concubine Chen and then concubine Zhen, I don't know what would have happened. How many children are born.

But among his several sons, those who are infatuated and dedicated, such as the crown prince, the seventh prince, and the eighth prince, don't talk about having children with others, even if they put women they don't love in the backyard; There are too many people in the backyard, or they can only have daughters, or they can't even have daughters. The only one who becomes emperor and bears the burden of spreading the branches and leaves for the Great Xiao imperial family is still a broken sleeve.

Sometimes Xiao Jining really thinks that perhaps the power of the Great Xiao Dynasty has been cut off in Emperor Yunhong's generation, because if he hadn't been the emperor, then Jing Yuan would have done it, and he could still give Great Xiao a chance to continue his life. Qi, if Jing Yuan were to do it, then Da Xiao would have changed his name directly, and it was hard for Xiao Jining to say which one was worse.

But no matter what, it is absolutely impossible for him to have children with other women.

So Xiao Jining put down the teacup, and said to the Empress Dowager Chun: "Okay, I understand what the Empress Dowager means, and I will go to the imperial concubine and empress's palace more often in the future."

What's the use of just going to them and sitting around, dare she say so much today, it's just taking advantage of Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan?The Empress Dowager Chun took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and said, "When does the emperor plan to draft?"

"The draft is held every three years." Xiao Jining said, "I'm still young, so let's choose after three years."

three years?Then if Xiao Jining himself didn't fall in love with any woman and didn't put people in the harem, then the harem would be dominated by Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren in the past three years?

The Empress Dowager Chun opened her mouth, but Xiao Jining didn't wait for her to speak, so she raised her eyes to look at her, and said bluntly: "The Empress Dowager wants to draft for the sake of the prosperity of the royal family's heirs, and for my throne to be secure, or is it purely because of the empress's treatment of you?" Disrespectful, you didn't want to make her feel better, so you insisted on drafting?"

Although Xiao Jining's tone of voice was indifferent, his attitude was unassailable. The Empress Dowager Chun looked at Xiao Jining, and suddenly realized that Xiao Jining had indeed changed after sitting on the throne—began not to listen to her, and not to be controlled by her.

In a sense, Xiao Jining acted like an emperor in this respect.

The Empress Dowager Chun was silent, so silent that Xiao Jining couldn't help but look at what was going on with her, Empress Dowager Chun said: "Since the emperor has made a decision, so be it."

It's rare for the Empress Dowager Chun to be so talkative, Xiao Jining was a little surprised, but didn't think too much about it, got up and left Shoukang Palace.

Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren also came out behind Xiao Jining.

It's just that as soon as the two of them came out, they rushed to Xiao Ji Ning's side, one on the left and one on the right. Seeing this, the palace people tactfully slowed down their pace, leaving a little distance for them to talk.

In the eyes of others, Xiao Jining hugged left and right so uncomfortable, while Ruan Jiaren and Tan Qingxuan were fighting fiercely on each side without giving in to each other.

But in fact, the three of them went side by side, but they were very harmonious.

And if there was no summon from Xiao Jining, or Xiao Jining went to her palace, Ruan Jiaren would rarely take the initiative to join Xiao Jining. What she did today was also to confirm one thing with Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager just said The matter of the draft..."

"I don't want to be drafted." Xiao Jining said directly, "No matter what the Empress Dowager says, you just refuse it."

"After today, the queen mother will definitely not mention it again." Tan Qingxuan, who was silent in Shoukang Palace just now, has been observing the pure queen mother. She also knows a little about the Queen Mother's temperament.
