Your Majesty, she doesn't want to flip the brand

Zhou Xingzhi didn't know that Zhong Qingyi was here for the queen, he was still happy that he had gained another good helper, and told her the news when he was having dinner with Ye Ningxuan.

"I've written down what your Majesty said, and I'll discuss it with Concubine Zhong tomorrow." Ye Ningxuan was a little surprised that Zhong Qingyi would think of this, and even more surprised that Zhou Xingzhi would discuss his private treasury with her.

The private treasury can be said to be the private property of the emperor, and generally speaking, it can be hidden as tightly as possible.Does His Majesty's willingness to discuss these matters with Zhong Qingyi mean that His Majesty is special to Zhong Qingyi?After thinking of this, Ye Ningxuan felt a little uncomfortable.

"However, Your Majesty, you may have forgotten one thing. According to the ancestral treasury, one-tenth of the tax silver can be attributed to your Majesty's private treasury, which can be used to build palaces and... other buildings." Ye Ningxuan quickly said Putting aside distracting thoughts, he seriously considered Zhou Xingzhi's words.

After all, Zhong Qingyi is just a concubine, and she doesn't know as much as Ye Ningxuan as a queen.According to the ancestral system, when the emperor built the palace and the mausoleum, all the expenses were also paid from the private treasury, and these were the biggest expenses.

"I know this, but I plan to use the money to raise some imperial guards." Zhou Xingzhi hesitated, "What does the queen think?"

The matter of tax money was what Wei Zhong told himself later, although he could claim one-tenth of the treasury tax in name, but in fact only half of it was in his hands.

The tax money collected last year was about 5000 million taels. According to regulations, I can withdraw 500 million taels and put it in my private treasury.Only more than 200 million taels actually came into my hands, not to mention the two years when I just took the throne, the former regent always used the empty treasury as an excuse, and never allocated this money to himself. It's not that he was enriched by Prince Jia.

"Does Your Majesty want to form a personal guard army?" Ye Ningxuan was thoughtful.

"Yes, the imperial guards in the imperial city are full of thousands of people. If there is any accident, these people are not enough. The imperial city will be safe only with the guards of the imperial forest army." When facing Ye Ningxuan, Zhou Xingzhi is in the most relaxed state, basically saying what he thinks of, without too many scruples.

"I have learned that during the time of Emperor Taizu, the Imperial Forest Army numbered as high as 20. They could not only defend the capital, but would also rush to the battlefield in case of war. It was a very powerful army." Zhou Xingzhi said, "Only 200 thousand In [-], the number of the Imperial Forest Army was less than [-], none of these people had been on the battlefield, and their combat effectiveness is estimated to be average."

Although Zhou Xingzhi always wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, she had to eliminate some unstable factors before she could start a comfortable pension mode.

"Your Majesty, if you really want to expand the size of the Imperial Forest Army and turn them into elite troops, you will not be able to build any large buildings for a long time in the future." Ye Ningxuan said, looking at Zhou Xingzhi, "And this matter can't be put on the bright side, otherwise it will arouse Prince Jia's vigilance."

"I know." Zhou Xingzhi thought for a moment, "I just have a general idea about this matter, and I can discuss it with you and the queen later. Now let's rectify the maids and eunuchs in the palace, as well as the imperial guards. All right."

"There is also my private treasury, can I ask the queen to help me take care of it." Zhou Xingzhi took the initiative to hold Ye Ningxuan's hand, and said with a sincere face, "You and I are a husband and wife, and the one I trust most in the palace is Now that the queen is gone, I'm not at ease if I leave the full power to Concubine Zhong."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely not disappoint His Majesty's trust." Ye Ningxuan was infected by Zhou Xingzhi's emotions. His Majesty was willing to hand over the private treasury to herself. This is a great trust, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty.

After perfectly handing over the private treasury issue to Ye Ningxuan, Zhou Xingzhi felt more relaxed.Even when Ye Ningxuan used her as a pillow while sleeping, the smile on her lips did not fall, and she even freed up her hands to tidy up the broken hair around her ears, so as to prevent her from pressing on her hair when she moved.

"Xiaoguang, Ye Ningxuan is not good this year, is it?" Zhou Xingzhi took a nap today, so he was not very sleepy at night, and he was still very energetic even in bed.

[Yes, among the master's five wives, three are, and the remaining two are the same age as your master, 16 years old. ] Zhinao quickly gave a reply.

"I don't have five wives. It should be one wife, one cousin, one enemy, one worker...helper, and the remaining concubine." Zhou Xingzhi corrected Zhinao's title, wife or something, But there can't be five.

[Okay master, Xiaoguang took note. 】

"Xiaoguang, you said that they are still so young, so I treat them as tool people, isn't it good?" Zhou Xingzhi felt a little guilty after hearing Zhinao's straightforward statement of their ages.

If it was in their original time and space, teenagers could only be regarded as cubs, and the most troublesome problem for them was how to improve their grades.

【Master, in this era, women are considered adults at the age of 15.What's more, at the age of 15, she was pregnant and ready to be a mother. ] Zhinao said, 【Master, there is no need to worry about age. 】

Although the intellectual brain is bound to Zhou Xingzhi's consciousness, it does not mean that it can only exist in Zhou Xingzhi's consciousness.According to the energy it has accumulated so far, it can use Zhou Xingzhi as the center point every day to perceive all the situation in a radius of twenty miles.Although the duration is only about 1 minute, it is enough for the brain to obtain enough information.

"I know, it's just a moment of emotion." Zhou Xingzhi lowered his head and looked down with the faint light.

When going to bed, Ye Ningxuan simply combed her hair, without any accessories on her head, which looked much more monotonous compared to the daytime.

Zhou Xingzhi and Ye Ningxuan were so close that they could see the broken hair on her forehead and the long and slightly curled eyelashes through the faint light, and could smell the faint fragrance emanating from her body.

After staring at it for a while, Zhou Xingzhi raised his hand in a strange way, stretched out another finger and poked Ye Ningxuan's forehead, then moved down the bridge of her nose and stopped at the tip of her nose.

Background, appearance, talent, strategy, these four things Ye Ningxuan is not only lacking at all, but also the best among many people.If she wasn't in this era, or if she had changed to a different gender in this era, she would definitely be conferred the title of marquis, not a queen who was bound by her identity in the palace.

If I had secured the throne earlier, maybe I could let Ye Ningxuan leave the palace?If Prime Minister Ye hadn't retired at that time, I would have worked out another Prime Minister Right and handed it over to Ye Ningxuan...

Zhou Xingzhi thought about it and his eyelids began to fight. He put his hands on Ye Ningxuan and fell asleep.

The next day, Ye Ningxuan woke up earlier than Zhou Xingzhi, opened her eyes in a daze, and saw herself holding Zhou Xingzhi tightly again as expected.

Skillfully retracting her arm and left leg, Ye Ningxuan planned to turn over and return to the original position.But before she could move, she realized that something was holding her back.

Looking down, Zhou Xingzhi's arm was firmly clasped around her waist, and it didn't look like he could break free easily.

What to do, break free by force.Or continue to sleep and wait for Zhou Xingzhi to wake up?

Before Ye Ningxuan could figure out what to do, Zhou Xingzhi's hand moved unconsciously, his eyelashes trembled slightly, as if he was about to wake up soon.

Ye Ningxuan didn't have time to think about it, she just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, as if nothing happened.

Zhou Xingzhi moved his body slightly, opened his eyes a little, and glanced at himself. Today, he was treated as a pillow again...

Hey, didn't Ye Ningxuan hug her to sleep today?No, when I fell asleep yesterday, I was hugged by Ye Ningxuan. If she didn't wake up, she should...

After thinking of this, Zhou Xingzhi turned his head in one direction and looked down at Ye Ningxuan slightly.

Seeing someone's slightly trembling eyelashes, Zhou Xingzhi couldn't help but chuckled, raised his hand, hesitated for a while, then put it down again, but finally failed to pierce Ye Ningxuan's disguise.

Carefully lifted the quilt, Zhou Xingzhi deliberately pressed the edge of the quilt after getting up, to prevent cold wind from running into the quilt.

Ye Ningxuan closed her eyes and tried her best to keep her breathing steady. After there was no movement in the room, she slowly opened her eyes.

Phew, it was really dangerous just now... Zhou Xingzhi almost found out... Wait, what has she to be afraid of?She is the queen, and Zhou Xingzhi is the emperor. Is there any problem with the queen sleeping with the emperor?

Ye Ningxuan came to her senses after realizing that it was not the first time for the two of them to sleep. Zhou Xingzhi woke up earlier than him yesterday. He must have known her sleeping position a long time ago. There is no need for him to pretend to be asleep. ah!

If this is the case, did Zhou Xingzhi realize that he was pretending to be asleep just now...

After confirming that Zhou Xingzhi had already gone to court, Ye Ningxuan got up from the bed slowly, and let her personal maid wait for her to groom herself, with a slightly frustrated expression on her face.

"Empress, Concubine Zhong has already left the palace and said she wants to see you." After Ye Ningxuan had breakfast, someone came to inform her.

"Concubine Zhong, please come in." Ye Ningxuan put down the book in her hand, and asked the maid to put refreshments on the table.

"See the queen." Zhong Qingyi bowed his knees and saluted, secretly looking at Ye Ningxuan from the corner of his eye.

Wuhu, Miss Sister is really pretty.

A slight smile appeared on Ye Ningxuan's face, "Sister, please get up, come sit down here and talk."

"Thank you, sister." Zhong Qingyi quickly climbed up the pole and changed his address, "I came this time to discuss with my sister about eunuchs and maids, I wonder if my sister has heard His Majesty say it. "

"Your Majesty mentioned to me that you want to reduce the number of maids and eunuchs in the palace, right?" Ye Ningxuan quickly got into work. The corresponding personnel composition."

"This is slightly involved, but I don't understand it very well." Zhong Qingyi said modestly.In fact, before meeting Zhou Xingzhi, Zhong Qingyi figured out the general composition of the staff, otherwise she would not have the confidence to say those things to Zhou Xingzhi.

"My sister mentioned about the matter of the elder lady leaving the palace, I think it needs to be carried out..."

……

"My sister is so right! I think it's very good to do this!"

"My sister is amazing, I can't think of such a good way!"

"My sister is really kind. If those people know that my sister is willing to give them money, they will definitely be grateful to her from the bottom of their hearts."

When Zhou Xingzhi came back from the court, he heard Zhong Qingyi blowing rainbow farts to Ye Ningxuan, one said it happily, and the other listened even more happily.

"Cough cough." Zhou Xingzhi coughed twice, highlighting his presence.

"Your Majesty is back." Ye Ningxuan looked at Zhou Xingzhi upon hearing the sound, with a bright smile on her face.

"My concubine sees Your Majesty." Zhong Qingyi got off the chair and bowed his knees.

"Excuse me, what are the empress and concubine talking about? Why are they so happy?" Zhou Xingzhi walked to Ye Ningxuan's side and sat down next to her, "Can you tell me?"

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that my sister came up with some good ideas. I think it's very feasible." Seeing Zhou Xingzhi sitting next to Ye Ningxuan, Zhong Qingyi felt a little unhappy.

Why did such a good sister marry the emperor and become a queen? A perfect young lady like Ye Ningxuan should marry someone who likes her and is willing to hold her in the palm of her hand.

Instead of marrying an emperor who is destined to have a harem of three thousand people, who is always in trouble, and who likes the new and hates the old!

Pity! ! !Cheap this stinking emperor! ! !
