Miaoyu didn't care what other people in the palace thought of her, nor did she care about the rumors behind her back.In fact, she is very clear that the place with the most rules in the world is the palace, and the place with the least rules is also the palace. In such a place, you need not only status, but also a strong heart.Even the latter is far more important than the former.
For Miaoyu, she is about to be canonized as a princess and become the most honorable daughter in the whole world, but what does the royal family want from her?
Father is kind and son is filial?Family fun?
Don't be ridiculous, the emperor has his own son, although he doesn't have his own daughter, but if it is an adopted daughter, as long as he wants, he can have as many as he wants.
Although the princess, especially the adopted daughter princess, is noble, it has more political significance.As long as Miaoyu doesn't make a fool of herself in front of people, as long as Miaoyu behaves like a princess in front of people, and then doesn't become the emperor's political enemy, basically there is no problem.
But if you want to control your own destiny, this is definitely not enough.
Coincidentally, almost all the princesses after the heyday of the Tang Dynasty were bound by the imperial power and became prisoners and victims of the imperial power. If they want to control their own destiny, it is much more difficult for the princesses than the concubines.
What Miaoyu wants to challenge now is the path of the princess.
To control your own destiny, you must first become an indispensable ally of the emperor, and if you want to become an indispensable ally of the emperor, you must first understand his needs.
What does the emperor need now?It is money, a lot of money, whether it is an empty treasury or a huge expenditure of the country, it needs a lot of money to make.If she can earn a lot of money, if she can prove in other ways that she can also help the emperor defend the imperial power, then she will also get the freedom she wants most.
Otherwise, she is just a royal doll.
Miaoyu is very clear about what she wants and how to get it.
But it cannot be denied that she is an outlier in the palace.
Yes, when the five princesses-to-be appeared in front of the Supreme Emperor, the old man immediately noticed the granddaughter.
I noticed that this granddaughter was not because of the familiar face of the other party, but also because of the other party's eyes. In the depths of the other party's eyes, there was no fear of power, only indifference and contempt.
This made the Supreme Emperor immediately alert.
Only those who have really stood at the pinnacle of power for many years, and only those who have really held power for many years, will have such indifference and contempt.
How could a 15-year-old girl have such eyes?
If she was born with great wisdom because she grew up in Buddhism, then what flashed in her eyes should be compassion, not indifference and contempt.
The Supreme Emperor stared at Miaoyu for a long time, and did not speak for a while.
Seeing this, the Empress Dowager had no choice but to smooth things over: "I was really taken aback. I thought I saw the prince."
Concubine Zhen Gui's complexion changed.
The Taishanghuang said with nostalgia: "Yes, it looks exactly the same as Ah Xian."
Concubine Zhen Gui's complexion changed again, she knew exactly what weight the abandoned prince, Old Yizhong Prince, had in the Supreme Emperor's heart.
She smiled dryly and said, "That's right, the concubine was also taken aback. It's just that His Royal Highness is always proud, but the princess doesn't want him. I heard that the princess asked Long Live and the Queen for 1 taels of silver yesterday?"
All eyes in the hall immediately focused on Miaoyu.
Miaoyu said indifferently: "The imperial concubine is really well informed. I only spoke to my father and queen mother yesterday evening. You will know today. My father originally said that he would reward me with two royal estates, and I was right. You sisters are unfair, so my father allowed me to buy the farm on my own. I don’t know which palace rule I have violated, so I ask the empress dowager to advise me.”
The imperial concubine was about to open her mouth, but the Supreme Emperor had already said: "Oh? It's so good, why did your father reward you Zhuangzi?"
"My granddaughter found something in the south with a very high yield per mu, so I wanted to see if it could be grown in Gyeonggi."
"Is it the sweet potato that Lin Ruhai is in charge of?"
"Yes."
The Supreme Emperor said: "This is a good thing. Since this is the case, I will also subsidize you with 1 taels of silver."
Obviously, the person who placed the eyes and ears in the Queen's Palace was the Supreme Emperor.
"Yes, the granddaughter thanked the imperial grandfather."
The Supreme Emperor spoke up, and the Supreme Empress and Princess Zhengui could only donate generously, one subsidizing 1 taels and the other subsidizing 8000 taels.
All the concubines can only follow the ceremony, and when they return from the Supreme Emperor's side and return to the Queen's Palace, the congratulatory gifts and support funds from each palace will arrive one after another.Miaoyu returned to the queen, and the queen told her to just accept it.
Next, Miaoyu didn't mention buying the land, because the princess canonization ceremony was just around the corner.Not to mention, as a princess, it is impossible to live outside the palace for a long time, so choosing the village head is very important.There is no rush for this matter.
However, one month had passed since the canonization ceremony, and Miaoyu hadn't moved yet. Concubine Zhengui inevitably said in front of the Supreme Emperor at dawn and dusk, "Duanhui, didn't you say you wanted to buy Tianzhuangzi? Nothing happened?"
Miaoyu replied: "July and August are the autumn harvest period, and the people have worked hard for more than half a year for the autumn harvest. Madam, taking advantage of people's danger is not such a multiplication."
Concubine Zhen Gui was furious.
The Supreme Emperor said: "That's right. If you want to buy land, you have to wait until the people have harvested it. Duanhui, are you going to hand over this matter to your Chief of Rites?"
"Yes, Grandfather."
Since the emperor has already obtained permission, of course this kind of thing must be done openly.
The Supreme Emperor nodded and did not speak again.
In his view, even if Miaoyu knew how to do it, she was just buying a field with money from the palace to subsidize her.He knew how much money Miaoyu got in total.
The Supreme Emperor never expected that one day not long after, Miaoyu asked the Queen to go out of the palace to visit her mother, and got permission to stay in Yizhong Prince's Mansion for two nights. No, the next day Miaoyu personally visited the household department yamen.
Chang Feng, Shangshu of Hubu, was dumbfounded.
What is Princess Duanhui doing here?
Although surprised, he had no choice but to bring his subordinates out to greet him.
After some courtesies, Miaoyu took a seat in the lobby of the household department, and then said straight to the point: "Master Shangshu, if you have nothing to do, you will go to the Three Treasures Hall. My palace will come, of course it is for money."
Chang Feng, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, said: "It's just a matter of borrowing money, why do you need to bother Her Highness the Princess? Her Highness just needs to send the Chief of Rites to go."
"Master Shangshu, can it be possible that I am a child? Since I have made it clear that I will hand over the matter of purchasing the land to the Chief of Rites, of course I cannot hand over the matter of money to him directly. Silver is different from others. Therefore, I think it is safer to go there in person.” Miaoyu said calmly, “I plan to borrow 50 taels of silver from the household department at two cents a month, and pay interest on a monthly basis. [-] until the repayment of the principal and interest in February next year."
As soon as this remark came out, all the officials present at the time were dumbfounded.
"You, what did you say?"
Chang Feng was dumbfounded.
Starting from the "benevolent government" of the Supreme Emperor, those who borrowed from the treasury did not pay interest.
"Master Shangshu has objections to the repayment method? Then I can repay a quarter of it in the twelfth lunar month, which is 12 taels of silver. However, the interest will also be reduced afterwards."
"No, it's not." Chang Feng finally came to his senses. While wiping his sweat, he said, "Your Highness, there is no such thing as interest in the treasury's deficit."
This is the benevolent government of the Supreme Emperor!If he collects interest today, then he should not mess around in the officialdom.
"I know. But Master Shangshu, without the interest, I'm worried that you won't borrow it; and with the pressure of interest, I will work harder to repay the money, you say, right?"
There was more sweat on Chang Feng's face.
There is no money in the national treasury, why is he not clear?
Where did Her Royal Highness come here to borrow money?She obviously came here to call for the shortfall on Wansui's behalf by changing her prescription.
Since the princess is willing to go ahead, what is there to be afraid of?Wouldn't it be better to report the process directly to Yuqian later?
Chang Feng was cruel, and said: "Your Highness, you want 50 taels of silver, but the household department can't arrange it now, and the household department only has 240 million taels of silver. But if it is 30 taels, I can make the decision."
"Yes. You can write this IOU. The monthly interest is two cents, and the monthly payment is 10 taels before the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, and the remaining [-] taels will be paid in February next year."
"Yes."
Chang Feng collected himself, walked to the back of the desk, picked up a pen, meditated for a while, and finished it overnight.
The IOU was in duplicate, one copy was taken away by Miaoyu, and the other was kept by the household department.
Before leaving, Miaoyu left a sentence: "Please send someone to the Yizhong Prince's Mansion for the silver, and ask Princess Yizhong to check it in person."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Chang Feng didn't want to say anything about Her Royal Highness's coquettish manipulation.
Miaoyu's borrowing of money immediately caused an uproar inside and outside the palace, even the Supreme Emperor, Supreme Empress and Emperor Empress knew about it.
After the Supreme Emperor found out, he snorted coldly and said, "As expected of Ah Xian's child!"
The Supreme Emperor still remembers that when he saw the meager salaries of the officials and their lives were difficult, when he put forward the decree to allow the officials to borrow money, the old Prince Yizhong, who was still the prince at that time, remonstrated face to face, saying: If you don’t save the poor, if you really feel sorry for the officials If life is difficult, the officials should be given a raise.
Unexpectedly, after 20 years, Ah Yin's daughter made the same choice.
Taishanghuang was very unhappy.
And the emperor, after hearing the news, was also stunned.
He immediately thought of his elder brother the prince, and also the Yizhong County King who was as Jingbaer in front of the Supreme Emperor.
He laughed and said, "Duanhui is still like the elder brother of the prince."
Chang Feng, who was kneeling below, felt a thump in his heart.
This is a lot of information.
The emperor's second sentence was: "Since Duanhui's IOU clearly stated that the monthly interest rate is two cents, one hundred thousand will be returned in the twelfth lunar month, and the balance will be returned in February. You just do it."
Chang Feng could only respond.
The emperor did not move, and the Supreme Emperor did not move, which does not mean that other people did not move.After all, there are quite a few people who can see through the key points, and there are even more people who want to please the Supreme Emperor.
Soon, King Yizhong returned to Prince Yizhong's mansion and asked Princess Yizhong for money.
It's a pity that he is shameless, and Concubine Yizhong is more open-minded, so she directly asks people to buy a house:
"...It doesn't matter where, as long as there is a tile above the head to live in. It seems that I can't afford to live in this Yizhong Prince's Mansion."
Anyway, Concubine Yizhong is the aunt of Prince Yizhong, and she was forced to leave Prince Yizhong's mansion. Even the Supreme Emperor could only call Prince Yizhong into the palace to reprimand her.
As for the emperor, he was even more straightforward. He directly cut off the title of the king of Yizhong County, not to mention being reduced to the Duke of the County, and even asked people to pledge the Duke of Yizhong County back to Pingan Prefecture.
No imperial edict is allowed to enter Beijing.
The author has something to say: the highest-ranking official in the prince's mansion is the chief official, and the highest-ranking official in the county prince's mansion and the princess' mansion is the chief of ceremonies.Thanks to the little angels who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution~
