Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

There are many things in the harem, and there are many things that need to be changed, but if it is changed, it will affect the whole body.There are two Buddha statues, the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager on the top, and the palace maids and eunuchs sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs are holding back on the bottom, Tian Mi feels that she is struggling.

Tian Mi was full of sadness, Kangxi couldn't help but pat her on the back twice, "No matter what you do, some people want you to do it, and some people don't want you to do it. If you do it well, no one will miss you." Well done, everyone clapped their hands and applauded. People say that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish! In fact, the same is true for managing the things at home. This matter should not be rushed.”

He said a lot, but none of them worked. Tian Mi couldn't accept that the official Tai Chi was so proficient.

"Cousin, looking at the overall situation, you think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is just a case of scabies, but I sit here every day, but I feel that the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have become so serious that I have to deal with it. I will settle the score for my cousin. "Tian Mi asked Qingmei to bring the pen and paper, and then made a list on the paper.

"The garden of the Compassionate Ning Palace needs to be repaired. The total cost of materials and craftsmen reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is 5000 taels. Including the Qianqiu Pavilion, the total is 800 taels."

Tian Mi wrote down this amount, and told him that although Changchun Garden is newly built, many places still need to be supplemented and repaired. about.

Not to mention the seasonal clothes of the court ladies and eunuchs.The usual consumption of the empresses in the palaces, the support of the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager and the concubines, the things that are rewarded to the Mongolian princes in autumn, the cost of the gold festival banquet... "The sum has exceeded 50 taels of silver, you know How much treasury silver does the Ministry of Internal Affairs have now? 4000 taels."

Kangxi squinted his eyes before he could figure out why, Tian Mi continued to bombard him, "This is a trivial matter, and there is a big matter that has to be dealt with right now. The elder brother is not young, do you want to marry a wife? Do you want his wife to give him money? In addition to marrying him a wife and giving him money for his family, as an Ama, you also need the Ministry of Internal Affairs to build a mansion for him and put the decorations inside, so that this son can be separated. This sum Have you thought about the cost? There will still be a crown prince after the big brother is over, not to mention these brothers, Guang Gege also needs a dowry!"

Kangxi asked after listening: "Do you have any ideas?"

"There is only one way to increase income and reduce expenditure, but it will not work if you don't rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs. If you want to get rid of all the current ills and stubborn diseases, you can only rectify the entire Ministry of Internal Affairs from top to bottom. Since ancient times, the two items of salt and iron belong to the The royal court manages tea and silk, so the royal family has the final say. If we want to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we should start with tea and silk. What Rong Chenqie said is inappropriate. The three major weaving companies in the south of the Yangtze River can still be said to be our coating slaves, but tea is like this. How come the important income is in the hands of Concubine Yi and her natal family?"

Kangxi turned to look at Tian Mi, "Well, this matter... Concubine Yi's natal family, Guo Luoluo, used to be the head of the House of Internal Affairs, so..."

"So take care of it, and put the income from the master's family into your own purse," Tian Mi sneered. Concubine Yi ran up to her a while ago and blatantly said how Debi's natal family was making trouble in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The waves caused by her natal family were not small.

"And tea and silk are the most profitable. The silk shipped from Guangzhou to Europa and the tea shipped from Mongolia to Lao Maozi can reach 600 million taels in a year with good weather. If there is any natural or man-made disaster, The 400 million income is still there. Tea and silk are also related to the situation in the south of the Yangtze River, after all, there are many people in the south of the Yangtze River who grow tea and raise silkworms."

Kangxi nodded, "Cousin is right. Tea can no longer be held in the hands of slaves. As for Si, Cao Xi will go to Beijing to greet you during the Chinese New Year, and let the Cao family explain it clearly to you. The Ministry of Internal Affairs should rectify it. , I will give you an imperial decree later, you just act according to the imperial decree, and there is the crown prince..."

Kangxi lowered his head and put his arm around Tian Mi's shoulder, "Don't touch them with the Chief Minister of Internal Affairs, I have told them to put the crown prince first in everything."

There are at least two ministers in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and no more than five. Behind these people is the network of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. That is to say, behind every minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there is a faction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can they not be moved? Not moving them is just scratching the itch, not to mention treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Together, they will definitely make the reformers disappear.

After Tian Mi heard this, she shook her head. There was no way to proceed with this matter. When the time comes, they will hold the banner of the prince, and she will definitely not be able to compare with the empress dowager and the emperor's darling prince.

So Tian Mi let out a long sigh, stretched out her hand and tore up the paper and the list of items, "The concubine is not feeling well these two days, and I can't take care of the affairs in the palace. Let the imperial concubine come over later. Let the concubine make up her mind about these trivial matters."

After Tian Mi finished speaking, she stood up and left. Kangxi glanced at her, then at the torn strips on the ground, and beckoned Li Dequan to come over.

"You go to the House of Internal Affairs and ask them to tighten their skin a bit. All the supplies from the imperial concubine's side are picked up and sent over, and by the way, call the Minister of the House of Internal Affairs to Qingxi Bookstore." After finishing the order, Kangxi came to the bedroom and looked Tian Mi had already laid down with her back to him, so she sat beside her with a smile and pressed her shoulders and asked her, "Are you angry? Your lungs have been bad recently, so you should recuperate here first, Siah later." Brother is back and let him eat with you."

Tian Mi turned over and took his hand, she opened her eyes for a long time with her back to him, her eyelids never blinked, so some physiological tears welled up in her eyes.

Tian Mi sat up quickly while the tears were still in the eye sockets, "How can I be angry? I will never be angry with my cousin in my life, it's just... oh."

"what happened?"

"I just remembered when we were young. At that time, I was the same age as the fourth elder brother. I followed Er Niang to visit Huang Er Niang. At that time, I was playing with my cousin in the palace, and Huang Er Niang was still stroking my head... Forget it, I won’t talk about it. If my cousin is busy, go and do it.”

At this time, Tian Mi seemed to have been sucked out of her soul, and her whole body became limp and paralyzed again. Kangxi couldn't help recalling when she was young, "We were all young at that time, and my biggest wish at that time was to Become a prince in charge of the flag, marry you as a concubine Fujin, and give birth to a little elder brother, when the time comes, the wife will live a peaceful life, who knows that there will be such a good fortune."

Tian Mi lay there, her tone inevitably filled with sorrow, "I don't want to fight with those two queens, it's my life, and I can't fight it. But besides my bad life, I am also in bad health. There is no one man and a half woman, and it can be regarded as dependent on Yinzhen. Cousin, if you are really doing it for my own good, why not change the writing and record Yinzhen under my name. From now on, we, mother and son, will have a thorough relationship. Become a mother and son."

Kangxi himself didn't notice the change in his tone, "De Concubine was pregnant for several months before she had him. If I did this, it would be equivalent to cutting off a piece of her flesh. Cousin, don't think so much. Could it be that you raised Yinzhen? Afraid that he will not be filial to you in the future? No, don't worry, he is a good boy. "

As he spoke, he stood up and called the maids over, told them to take good care of Tian Mi, and he left by himself.

Tian Mi wiped away her tears, sat up quickly, and saw that everyone was gone, thinking that this time it was ruined again.

The maids dared not speak, for fear of making her angry. When the fourth elder brother came back from school in the afternoon, a few court ladies gathered around the fourth elder brother and told the story of the day. The purpose was to make the relationship between their master and the fourth elder brother Even better, by the way, step on the German concubine again.

"The emperor said that he was reluctant to part with the empress de concubine from your mother and child..."

"Just a little bit, you can change the jade plate."

……

The fourth elder brother handed his book and inkstone to the court lady, and hurried to find Tian Mi. Tian Mi was indeed not in high spirits. She failed to accomplish what she wanted to do today, and was in the midst of self-doubt.Lying on the couch, there was a kitten dozing in her arms, but Tian Mi's eyes were empty, staring at the beams for half the afternoon.

The fourth elder brother came over and greeted Ann quietly, stuffed the kitten into the hands of the maids, and asked them to retreat first, and waited until there was no one in the room, the fourth elder brother leaned over to Tian Mi and pushed her, "Er Niang, you Don't feel bad, I can't blame you if my son can't remember your name, if you want to blame, you can only blame the prince."

Tian Mi turned her head to look at him, "What does this have to do with the prince? It has nothing to do with the prince from the beginning to the end."

The fourth elder brother went to study for a few days, and his whole person seemed to have been reborn. He used to pretend to be a little adult, but now he looks like a real adult, and he has become too calm.At this time, he lowered his voice and looked mysterious, but his expression was particularly ugly, "Emiang, no matter whether it is elder brother or Gege in this palace, everyone in this palace is not as good as a hair of the crown prince. For the crown prince, If the facts are wrong, Huang Ama will say it is right, even if it is right, Huang Ama will definitely say it is wrong. The Tong family is too powerful, and the son will get closer to the uncles in the future. Isn't it difficult for the prince?"

Tian Mi hadn't recovered from the shock when she heard someone outside calling fourth brother, and the expression on fourth brother's face suddenly distorted, "I'm so annoying, he follows me every day, and I can't shake him off. Uh Mother, you need to rest first, my son will go out and see what the sixth brother is going to do."

Just as Tian Mi nodded, she heard the cat's shriek and the palace maid's exclamation, "Brother Six, let go of Hongyun!"
