Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Not only did Lian Er want to leave Concubine De, but she was doomed to have no hope of getting ahead here.

Concubine De didn't know that her palace daughter wanted to leave, but she kept thinking, what went wrong?

Why is this so?

Obviously the arrangement is very good, if Madam Shisun gives birth to a boy, everyone will be happy!

When a girl is born, change it.

How simple is it?Why can't it be done?

Concubine De's mood is even worse, there are not many people serving in the palace, this tossing is even rarer, the people serving are not dedicated, Concubine De sees it and hates it in her heart, but there is nothing she can do.

Emperor Yongqing didn't remove her honorary title, didn't remove her concubine position, but just let her stay in the palace, and the imperial guards guarded the gate.

This world is where she died of old age.

She is not as good as the imperial concubine, at least the imperial concubine has gone to the Yinghua Hall, which is the Buddhist hall.

Li Chengsi's wife gave birth to a daughter, and her fluctuating heart suddenly settled down, no one was looking for trouble, and Li Chengsi didn't go out all day to socialize and meet friends. It is impossible to have sex with him to make a villain. Li Chengsi wants a son-in-law, but he has to wait for his daughter-in-law to give birth and take care of her body. Prince Lao Guo wants a great-grandson, but Li Chengsi does not want a concubine , He felt that the children born to concubines were not pure in blood and not valuable.

Even if he was born as a concubine himself, of course he wanted a child from the concubine in order to add weight to himself.

The outside has stopped, autumn has come, and the autumn harvest has begun. The autumn harvest is a big event, and the imperial court has to offer sacrifices to the heavens and pray for blessings. They don't even use swords and soldiers, and try their best to harvest the grain in the fields.

Later, at the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, Emperor Yongqing announced a decree that he was going to be a queen!

The candidate is the imperial concubine, who will become the queen, and the Ministry of Rites will prepare for the empress ceremony.

The emperor never married a wife simply by marrying a wife, and the emperor did not necessarily like the concubine because he really liked the concubine. In a word, the emperor married a family, and those who liked concubines were also those who liked concubines.

In the past few years, the emperor has been advocating martial arts, and the ministers are muttering in their hearts. For an emperor, militarism is unacceptable, and the world has been at peace for a long time, so it is not a good thing to be good at using weapons.

Simply put, the emperor's decisions in the past few years have been correct, and the border has been winning battles. Once a battle is won, the enemy will be asked for "war compensation", so that the treasury is abundant, and the emperor's uninhabited Kunning Palace has been repaired. Now I am no longer afraid of disasters anywhere in the world, because the treasury is rich, and the minister of the household department is no longer worried about people coming to the household department to ask for money every day.

Every year, all kinds of cattle and sheep from the northern barbarians donate, and the price of beef in the capital has dropped a lot.

In the winter, there is even mutton soup in the cells for the prisoners to drink. I don’t know how effective it is to drive away the cold. Anyway, the prisoners can drink what they have.

Who knew that he was going to stand up now.

If Lin Wan'er had no children, everyone wouldn't think anything of it. The harem position had been vacant for nearly 20 years. It would be good to have a queen, but the imperial concubine had a son. If she became a queen, the child would be the legitimate son.

There is no need to think too much about the candidate for the reserve position, it is the Ninth Prince.

Emperor Yongqing's succession is not a matter for him alone, but a major matter for the court. The harem should have a mistress.

What's more, he actually established the daughter of a civil official. They thought that even if he was to become the queen, he would have to find a daughter of a military general's family.

Later, when they found out that it was the imperial concubine, everyone was quite surprised.

But think about it carefully, the imperial concubine is also very good, at least a daughter of a Hanlin family is better than a daughter of a general's family.

After Ding Tian returned home, he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets. Wang Zuo was so happy to see him: "What are you looking for?"

"Congratulations to the queen, do you have to give gifts? I'm going to throw up every year I give gifts." Ding Tian used to be a small person, and he just gave a few gifts, but now it's different. Butler Wang showed him.

"When the time comes, you can give it with me. I'm prepared." Wang Zuo's family has a big business, and Ning Wang's mansion is so rich that there is no shortage of gifts. The main reason is that Ding Tian's family is not enough in Beijing. Gifts are all given to others, and he keeps few things for himself.

"Hey, after it was sealed, did it stop?" Ding Tian said, "It hasn't stopped for two years in a row, with all kinds of shocks."

There are turbulent winds and clouds in the middle of Beijing, and countless honorable men have been sacked. Even if Ding Tian is not working in the Prison of the Criminal Ministry, there are still people from the Prison of the Criminal Ministry. He knows that many people there have been sentenced. The whole family will be exiled.

The female relatives were crying, and without the protection of high-ranking officials, few beautiful women ended well.

Should be calm now?

"It should be. As long as the East Palace is erected again, we can work together." Wang Zuo flicked his sleeves: "When the time comes, the world will be peaceful!"

Ding Tian was happy, his smile was clean and refreshing.

The Empress Dowager Ceremony was only a few days away, but it was held in a grand manner, because everyone could tell that this might be the future Empress Dowager.

Emperor Yongqing looked at Lin Wan'er, who was wearing a phoenix crown and Xiapei, as if he saw the woman who married him for the first time more than 20 years ago, who was also so young, beautiful, gentle and demure.

He helped Lin Wan'er up: "From now on, you will be my wife, and the harem will be handed over to you, so I can rest assured."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Wan'er knows what to do." Lin Wan'er smiled softly: "You don't have to worry about the palace, Wan'er will tell you if there is anything to do."

She understands very well that being a queen is not the ultimate goal, she is still a cautious woman, and the honor and disgrace of a woman in the harem are all in the emperor's mind.

"Leave the harem to Wan'er, I don't worry." Emperor Yongqing took out a very beautiful five-phoenix Chaoyang beaded hairpin from a box beside him, and put it on the queen's head with his own hands.

Because there is a queen in the harem, the court is also clean, and the food reported from all over the country is a bumper harvest. This year can be regarded as good weather and a bumper harvest.

However, the war broke out again in the north, and the barbarians could no longer bear the annual contribution. They had to pay 50 cattle and 500 million sheep to the court every year.

The entire barbarian tribe has been extorted for three years. It can be said that every year they are given a lot of pain. The little things they raise are finally paid as tribute. They can eat enough and wear warmth, but other wealth is gone.

In addition, it snowed early in the north this year, which seemed to be a bit of a snow disaster. The barbarians were impulsive, but now they couldn't bear it anymore, so they got angry and went directly to the people of the Central Plains Dynasty... Make sense!

"Pfft!" Wang Zuo spit out the tea in his mouth at that time: "Reasonable?"

"Yes, the envoy of the barbarian king said that they have paid too much tribute every year, and they can't bear it. Can you give less?" The Minister of Rites also couldn't laugh or cry: "The people in the frontier are envoys because they have the title of envoy. They didn’t dare to make their own claims, so they kept people outside the border, refused to let them in, and didn’t answer them.”

"Have they learned to reason? Didn't they all talk with their fists before?" Emperor Yongqing was amused: "Have you become smarter?"

"It's because our fists are not as big as ours, and now we have to give in." Wang Zuo knew the urgency of those barbarians: "It's fine if you don't agree with their request to reduce the tribute. As far as I know, they can't beat us in the south, and they can go north Well, those rakshasa devils are getting rich."

The grassland of the barbarians is bordered by the Raksha Kingdom in the north. They can't beat Daqing, so they can attack the Raksha Kingdom.

The monarchs and ministers laughed for a while, but no one agreed to the barbarian's request.

But the strange thing is that the news on the frontier has not been stable. Of course, they have always won the battle, but this victory has been going on for a long time, and there is something wrong. The meritorious deeds have been obtained, but where did the barbarians come from?

It is said that their large troops did not move, but the battles at the border have always been small-scale. In addition, when the gunpowder exploded, there were no bones left. It is unknown how many enemies were killed.

But rewards still have to be given, and Emperor Yongqing is not stingy now that his treasury is abundant.

It's just that he didn't know the situation at the border after all, and he didn't feel at ease. Wang Zuo said that he should go there: "I went there once three years ago, and going again now is just a revisit of the old place."

"Alright, I don't worry if you go there, bring someone from the Firearms Bureau." Emperor Yongqing said, "It's a good time to see the power of that firearm with your own eyes."

"Yes, but I want to take someone with me." Wang Zuo raised his head with a cheerful look and a sweet expression on his face.

Ding Tian has been very busy recently, because the autumn harvest is over, dried vegetables, pickled vegetables, new grain in storage, grain and money sent from his village, and various income.

Although it is said that he does not need to do the work himself, he has to look over the ledger. There are also live animals sent to the village, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and raised rabbits.

In fact, the village is quite productive, and Ding Tian doesn’t ask for much rent from the tenants. Generally, the rent is four to six cents, the owner’s family is six, and the tenants are four. Because they are officials, they are exempt from tax.

The remaining [-]% of the tenants are enough to eat.

But Dingtian's is fifty-fifty, half of the family, and the tenants are more motivated.

Moreover, Dingtian is strictly controlled, and the servants of the family do not go to the village to tell others what to do. The tenants farm the land honestly. The so-called "welfare".

Just like now, when every family sends renters, they can get a roast chicken, three catties of fat pork, and ten catties of white noodles from the master's house. After one autumn, I was exhausted in order to rush to harvest this little food, so I took some things back to eat something good and make up for it.

In addition, there are ten catties of salt and two catties of candy, which are the most common kind of caramel, sweet for the children.

On the contrary, the tenants have been won over. It's not that they lack this thing, but the attitude of the host.

After more than two years, they got along well after all, and this year, Mr. Wang also bought a cloth shop for Ding Tian. The family should have some property, but Ding Tian does not run a business, and he only rents out the shop for rent, because the family has no People know how to do business.

But when it was time to buy, the family left in a hurry, taking all the valuable silks and satins away, leaving only some homemade cloth, coarse cloth, and fine cotton cloth.

It's a bonus for the buyer, Ding Tian's family does not lack cloth, not to mention that he is an official, and he wears silk and satin, and the cotton cloth must be fine cotton.

Simply, Ding Tian distributed all these things to the tenants, not much, two bolts of homespun cloth, one bolt of coarse cotton cloth, and one bolt of fine cotton cloth. After such a division, as expected, all these things were distributed, and the tenants were grateful , Two of the tenants were going to get married, Ding Tian knew about it, and specially sent two bolts of bright red silk to the family. The color was bright, and it happened to make two sets of clothes when they got married.

There are also elderly people who will give two catties of meat more, which will firmly hold the hearts of the tenants.

He was busy here, and that night, when Wang Zuo came back, he gave him a surprise: "Take me back to my hometown? Niujiao County?"

After Ding Tian heard the news, he still couldn't react.

"Yes, it's business, now I can spend a new year in my hometown when I go back." Wang Zuo said, "Besides, you haven't been back for three years, right?"

"It's been more than four years. When I was in Beifeng Mansion, I didn't go back that year." Ding Tian's memory of Niujiao County is more from the perspective of the original owner. He actually doesn't have much impression, but he does remember the new I don't know what my hometown looks like.

Wang Zuo aroused nostalgia: "Go back... It's fine, visit and sweep the graves of my parents. There are also my two uncles and cousins. I don't know how they are doing."

Because they studied late and were not sure about the exam, the boys from Ding's family didn't come to take the exam.

The author’s gossip: I ran home a few times in the past two days, and the update of the episode is a bit irregular. In addition, everyone should drink more boiled water at home, wash hands frequently, open windows for ventilation, wear masks when going out, and avoid going to crowded places... I guess now There are no crowded places.
