The Empire and the Kingdom

"Recently, the princess found a good family for Xue Zhi, and she will get married in the next year. I let her get married directly from Zhuangzi, so she doesn't have to go home. You sisters don't have to send them off, I have arranged everything .”

If Xue Ying still had a lively wedding anyway, then Xue Zhi didn't even have a wedding.Xue Ai sighed a little, but didn't know what to say.Didn't Xue Zhi do it all by herself?Xue Xiang already knew the news that the emperor was going to abdicate. When Feng Jingsu was about to ascend the throne, who would dare to hold a wedding for Xue Zhi, who murdered the future emperor?

Xue Zhi's mistakes were actually no more serious than Xue Ying's, but the worst thing she should have done was to poison Feng Jingsu, which made her unable to turn over forever.

"You don't have to pity her. The husband's family is honest and willing to do things. Mrs. Wang has prepared a lot of dowry for her, and I will add some on my side, so that she won't be in trouble for her livelihood." Xue Xiang was willing to add a dowry to Xue Zhi, This treatment is better than that of Xue Ying, so there is still a difference in his treatment between the two daughters he gave up completely.

"It's the daughters who are ignorant, which made you sad, Daddy." Xue Ai felt very guilty.She is with Feng Jingsu, which is even worse than Xue Ying and Xue Zhi. After Feng Jingsu announces their relationship in the future, how will Xue Xiang deal with herself?How to gain a foothold among the officials?

"Ai'er, do you really not regret being with the princess?" Xiang Xue was not forgetful, he just couldn't understand.There are tens of thousands of men in the world, with his family background, with Xue Ai's appearance and intelligence, what kind of husband do you want?Why would you choose to be with a woman?Although this woman will soon become the supreme power in this country.

"Daddy, my daughter won't regret it."

"Okay." Xue Xiang sighed, "Pay more attention to your body."

"Yes."

Xue Xiang hesitated for a moment. He still didn't tell Xue Ai about the emperor's abdication. It's better for Xue Ai to get the news from Feng Jingsu. He is a minister after all, so it's hard to say too much.

"Last night, there was a riot in the capital, but luckily nothing happened. You should hurry back to the palace in a while. The capital is not peaceful, so don't come out casually." A father always has endless worries.

Xue Ai was worried about him. "Daddy, is the house okay?"

Xue Xiang shook his head, "It's not for us. You go back and ask the princess. I heard that the clan is in trouble. I don't know the specific news during the suspension period. In short, you should pay attention to safety."

"Oh." Xue Ai nodded obediently.

Xue Ai went out of the prime minister's mansion, and the carriage stopped after he got in the carriage.Meng An raised the curtain, "What's wrong?"

A half-grown child stood beside the carriage, and handed a letter to Meng An, "Our boss gave it to Miss San, and the boss said that Miss San would understand after reading it."

Xue Ai took the letter and smiled when he saw the ghostly talisman-like pattern on the envelope, "Meng'an, give him two taels of silver and let him buy candy."

Mengan gave the child two taels of silver, and the child kept thanking him, and then ran away bouncing around.

"It's Cai Bing's letter." Xue Ai opened the thick letter, and there was a lot of content written in it. Because it was a ghostly talisman, the information on each piece of paper was not too much. Many sheets of paper were used, resulting in the letter being so thick. thick.

No wonder Cai Bing dared to use a half-grown child to deliver the letter. He really didn't worry about it falling into the hands of others, and he couldn't understand it anyway.

Xue Ai frowned more and more, "This letter..."

"What's wrong?" Meng An asked worriedly.

"Hurry back to the palace!"

The carriage quickly drove back to the palace, Xue Ai jumped off the carriage and ran into Shenhe Palace to find Feng Jingsu.

As soon as he entered the door, he bumped into Feng Jingsu, "What's wrong? She's frizzy." Feng Jingsu hugged her and carefully checked whether she was injured.

"Sister Su, Cai Bing said that King Xin will have a big move tonight, you must prepare early!" Xue Ai was panting a little while running.

Feng Jingsu rubbed her head, "I see."

Xue Ai tilted her head, knowing that she is still so calm? "You already knew?"

"I spent so much money on the news network, it's not for decoration." Feng Jingsu smiled, and reached out to pat Xue Ai's back lightly to help her feel better. "But that was last night. You got the news late."

"Last night? Then you..." You didn't return to Beijing after knowing the news?

"I let him do it, don't toss and make more noise, people will always say that I treat the clan harshly." Feng Jingsu lowered her head and asked, "Am I bad?"

Xue Ai kissed her, "I like your badness."

"But I went back to Beijing last night, but I just rushed back before dawn."

"Why?" Xue Ai's eyes were full of doubts.

"Because I want to accompany you to see plum blossoms, it is special to you, and it is also special to me."

Xue Ai was moved, and smiled with flushed cheeks.

After being moved, it was finally time for the two of them to get busy with business.Xue Ai didn't know what to say when he heard that Feng Jingsu had gone to blackmail the clan and ministers.

"If they really paid the money, don't you really kill them?"

"Of course, I keep my word." Feng Jingsu seemed to see a lot of money flying into the treasury, which is the capital for future water conservancy construction.

Xue Ai frowned, "Isn't this letting the tiger go back to the mountain?"

Feng Jingsu patted her on the head, "Think about it with your clever little head."

Xue Ai thought for a while, "You just keep their lives, right?"

Really smart. "Look, you're as cunning as I am."

After praising her little fox, Feng Jingsu still wanted to have a good chat with the emperor.Originally, she also suspected that this matter was ordered by the emperor, but according to Concubine De, the emperor was innocent.

In the back hall of Qinzheng Hall, Feng Jingsu told the emperor about the whole matter, and the emperor quickly expressed his opinion, "I never let them make trouble."

"Father, don't worry. My son knows that everything was imagined by Uncle Xin. If Father wanted to regain power, he would never use such a stupid trick."

The emperor always felt that Feng Jingsu was speaking ill of him. "Yun Yi, although King Xin is making trouble, he just wants to help me. He doesn't understand the situation and is confused. Can you let him live?" The relationship between King Xin and the emperor has always been good, and the emperor had to ask for help Personality.

"Conspiracy and rebellion have always been a major crime for punishing the nine clans. Uncle Xin is a clan, so the nine clans don't need to be punished. It's not too much to copy and kill the whole family, right?" Feng Jingsu said slowly.

"Huh?" The emperor was dissatisfied, "He didn't mean to rebel, he just misunderstood the situation of our father and daughter, and thought that he was loyal to the monarch and the country. Everything was a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding? If Erchen hadn't rushed back overnight, maybe this wasn't a misunderstanding."

Seeing that Feng Jingsu was about to lose his face, the emperor shook his head, "You child, why are you so good at temper?" It didn't make sense, so the emperor could only say: "Otherwise, if you let these clans live, I will take the throne." How about giving Zen to you?"

Feng Jingsu smiled, "It's a deal."

The emperor laughed too.In his opinion, he was planning to abdicate from the beginning, and now he used this in exchange for the clan's life, and he also had an explanation to the clan.He felt that he had schemed against Feng Jingsu, and he made money.

And Feng Jingsu didn't intend to kill these clans originally, but now he can get the emperor's abdication.From this point of view, the throne was not given to her by the emperor, but in exchange.She also earned it.

In a transaction, both of them felt that they had taken advantage of it, and everyone was happy.

In the prison, facing Feng Jingsu who came to see him, King Xin still insisted that Feng Jingsu was usurping power until he saw the emperor.

"Uncle Xin, my father will tell you if I'm trying to pretend." Feng Jingsu left the two brothers to talk slowly, and then ran out to see how much money he had collected.

This blackmail with a knife on someone's neck has indeed made a lot of money.Feng Jingsu kept her word, as long as the money was enough, she would be released.But the ministers were dismissed on the spot, and the clan was exiled to the frontiers. Their lives were saved, and their glory and wealth were gone.

Many people think that Feng Jingsu is superfluous, and directly ransacked the house, and the money is still hers, so why come to such a blackmail?

At this time, Feng Qianzi had something to say, the money extorted was much more than what was obtained by ransacking the house, and it was directly allocated to the special fund for water conservancy construction.

"How much can one copy from a house? These clans are very good." Feng Jingsu finally felt that he had some money after spending such a large sum of money, and immediately ordered to start dredging the river.

After everything was dealt with, Feng Jingsu took Xue Ai to see Concubine De.Xue Ai was a little nervous, she knew that Concubine De had a different meaning to Feng Jingsu.

Concubine De pulled Xue Ai to her side, but pushed Feng Jingsu aside, "Xiao Ai, did Jingsu bully you?"

Xue Ai quickly shook her head, "Go back to your mother, Sister Su is very kind to me."

"You call her Elder Sister Su, why do you still call me Empress Bengong?" Concubine De was dissatisfied.

Xue Ai was a little dazed, she looked up at Feng Jingsu, Feng Jingsu just smiled and nodded at her.She turned her head and looked at Concubine De again, seeing Concubine De's encouraging eyes, "Shuang Niang."

"Hey!" Concubine De hugged her in her arms, "My son, it's really not easy to hear your voice. Come!"

The maid Le Xin put the tray on the table.Concubine De lifted up the red cloth on the tray, and underneath was a pair of jadeite ruyi bracelets. "It was given by the Empress Dowager when I became a concubine. At that time, I thought that I would leave it to my children in the future. After so many years, I am not willing to wear it. I will give it to each of you today. You have to be good, like this pair of Ruyi bracelets, you are as beautiful as you are, and you are in a good pair."

The two quickly thanked Concubine De.Xue Aiduo is a smart and considerate person. After being put on the jade bracelet by Concubine De herself, she asked in a low voice: "Shuangniang, can I still come to see you in the future?"

Concubine De's eyes were crescent-shaped with a smile, "Of course you are willing to accompany this old man, Ben Gong, but I'm afraid someone won't let you come here." Her eyes looked at Feng Jingsu.

"Shuangniang, I can't." Feng Jingsu quickly explained.

"Ben Gong knows you are busy, so don't explain it. You can let Xiao Aiduo come and accompany Ben Gong in the future." She took Xue Ai's hand, "If Yun Yi treats you badly in the future, you can just come and talk to Ben Gong Complain."

"Yes." Xue Ai leaned closer to Concubine De, and turned to Feng Jingsu with a confident smile.

"Shuangniang, don't spoil her too much, she is already very skinny." Feng Jingsu raised her forehead.

"Her skin is not my favorite, ask yourself." Concubine De didn't take the blame.

Xue Ai became more and more proud, making faces at Feng Jingsu beside Concubine De.

In a blink of an eye, the Shangyuan Festival passed, and the dynasty opened after the next year.King Xin's rebellion was not defined as treason, but just rebellion.There were a lot of punishments and punishments, but there were not many bloodshed and casualties.Because no one died, the clan's reaction was not strong. After all, this was the best result that could be achieved.

Then the emperor decreed to abdicate, Feng Jingsu succeeded as the empress dowager, and changed the name to Chuyuan.The enthronement ceremony was completed within a month because Feng Jingsu simplified all the procedures that could be simplified.The grand ceremony was not grand at all, but it was very economical.

Xue Ai smiled and said, "Are you so picky about yourself?"

"You can only be desperate for yourself. If you don't have to frighten the officials, I don't even want to hold this ceremony. It's a waste of money." Feng Jingsu is already a legitimate emperor at this moment, and has officially entered the Palace of Qinzheng.Whether Xue Ai is a concubine or a minister, it is not easy to live in Qinzheng Palace, so she still lives in Shenhe Palace.It's just that no one cares about how the two of them live in private.

Originally, the emperor planned to go out with the concubine Xian to visit the beautiful scenery of Yunguo after he abdicated, but Feng Jingsu insisted that a large number of guards accompany him, and even if he couldn't show up clearly, he still had to follow in disguise.The emperor understood Feng Jingsu's scruples. First, he was worried about his safety, and second, he was worried that someone with a heart would catch him and make a big fuss.Thinking about walking around with Concubine Xian, surrounded by guards, it's quite boring.

After discussing with Concubine Xian, the two planned to find a place with a good view outside the city to live.Feng Jingsu directly gave Leng Mei Xiaozhu to live in them.Both of them are satisfied. Although it is a two-person world, there are also many court ladies and guardians. Feng Jingsu even sent a team of garrison troops to protect them.

There are many things that need to be busy for the new king to ascend the throne.Feng Jingsu hardly even has time to sleep every day.This is because she took over the rights in advance, and there is not much difficulty in handling it.

Xue Ai has been arranging the relocation of the original concubines in the palace recently.When Feng Jingsu succeeded to the throne, all the concubines in the palace were promoted to concubines and concubines, and they had to move to the Ande Palace behind the palace to live. This is an all-time rule.

Others are easy to say, only Concubine De, Xue Ai wants to keep her in the palace, anyway, Feng Jingsu doesn't have a harem, and the palace is very empty.

After Xue Ai discussed with Feng Jingsu, Feng Jingsu shook her head, "Shuangniang will not agree, if you don't believe me, go ask her."

Xue Ai went to the Antai Hall to ask, and Concubine De really shook her head and rejected Xue Ai's kindness.

"Xiao Ai, after all, this palace is not the emperor's biological mother, so it is not in compliance with the rules. Besides, you are all so busy, it is the same wherever I am. If you have filial piety, you can visit me often. Ande Palace is just behind , not too far away." Now she really has no desires or desires, and she is not attached to anything.

In this way, all the concubines and concubines were moved into the Ande Palace, and each was assigned two court ladies and two eunuchs. Everyone had the same fixed position, so there were a large number of idle court ladies and eunuchs in the palace.

"Will Sister Su have a harem in the future?" Although Xue Ai was asking, there was a dangerous light in his eyes.

Feng Jingsu smiled, she hadn't had a good chat with Xue Ai for several days.I took some time now, and hurriedly hugged him and kissed him, "Isn't you the harem? What are you probing?"

Xue Ai lowered his head and pointed at his fingers awkwardly, "Who knows if you will choose someone else to enrich the harem in the future?"

The tone was so sour that Feng Jingsu felt choked.It turned out that it wasn't that her little fox wasn't jealous, it was just that he didn't give her a chance to be jealous.

"No one else, you have so many tricks a day, it's hard for me to deal with you alone, how can I have the energy to deal with others?" She squeezed Xue Ai's chin to make her look up, "I raise foxes, one is enough gone."

Xue Ai opened his mouth, "Oh!"

Since there is no harem, so many court ladies and eunuchs in the harem are redundant.Feng Jingsu decreed to let a large number of court ladies go out, and the eunuchs were not easy to arrange when they were out of the palace, so they continued to stay in the palace for necessary cleaning work, so that the huge harem became much deserted at once.

Regardless of whether the officials are willing or not, they must welcome the new king.Everyone thought that after Feng Jingsu officially ascended the throne, many new decrees would be promulgated, but they did not.After Feng Jingsu succeeded to the throne, the situation has been calm. Except for the necessary changes, such as the reign name, all others have remained unchanged from the previous dynasty.

Did the emperor change his temper?Some ministers discussed in secret.Xue Xiang said that this group of people really thought too much, and Feng Jingsu just wanted to pass this transition period smoothly.

Simultaneously with Feng Jingsu's ascension to the throne, Guan Xuejing went to seal the country, and the dredging of waterways officially started.Some people in the household department still couldn't see the situation clearly. Although they didn't dare to obstruct them, they were procrastinating. Regarding this, Feng Jingsu, who was in a busy schedule, had a talk with these people and dumped the disaster relief accounts. These people immediately became honest. , I dare not say a word after I go back.

Xue Xiang was very satisfied with this. "Your Majesty's move is wonderful."

Feng Jingsu smiled and said: "Mr. Xue is overrated. As you said, beating and suppressing are both good means, and they must be combined to be effective. Those people are still useful at the moment, so they can't be beating, they can only be suppressed. Anyway, the handle is in my hands , I can deal with them whenever I want, there is no need to rush."

Xue Xiang is relieved that he came to the palace today to discuss the development of domestic characteristic industries with Feng Jingsu. After a long period of investigation, the grain produced in the south of Yunguo is a slender rice that is very popular with neighboring countries.There are also merchants who purchase, transport and sell them, but they are all on a small scale.After researching, the two decided to send people to purchase rice on a large scale and transport it to neighboring countries to see how the market is.If it is really easy to sell and profitable, the scale of planting can be increased.

Now is the season of spring sowing. If you act quickly, you will see the effect this year.
