[Qing Chuan] The Empress Dowager Raising Cubs Daily

Even the Empress Dowager couldn't stand it anymore.

With a straight face, she reprimanded in a low voice: "Qiqige, why are you doing this?"

Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun all nodded.

With grievances in their eyes, they pitifully waited for the Empress Dowager to make decisions for them.

With just one breath, the expressions of the three froze.

Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun all opened their eyes wide, listening to the words ringing in their ears in disbelief.The empress dowager put on a straight face, and reached out to take back a copy from Qiqige: "The Ai family is also quite interested."

Concubine Shuhui also happily stepped forward: "The same goes for my concubine."

The toffees twittered together and felt a little regretful: "It would be nice if there were more tricks."

Qiqige excitedly suggested: "We can make a model first, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do something similar? Apart from the doll's house, we can also make a model of the Forbidden City, or Suzhou Lion Forest, Xiangxi Diaojiaolou, Wuhan Yellow Crane Tower ... or something like that, or a cute little teahouse, restaurant, stall or something, it's also very good!"

The toffees became more and more interested.

They got together and chatted, and quickly left Ling Yi and the other three behind.

Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun were stunned.

They rushed forward eagerly, wanting to show some appearance, but they were sent directly by Qiqige: "When you all want to study hard, how are you doing with your studies recently? How are you preparing for the exam?"

The three of them misfired immediately.

Just looking at the discussions between Uku Mama, Huang Mama and other mamas, they couldn't stop puffing up their cheeks.Ling Yi stomped her feet, and finally couldn't help but said: "Imperial Mama still has the nerve to say, son, how is your riding and archery practiced?"

Qiqige's expression froze and her neck shrank.

She tried to pretend that she didn't hear anything, continued to discuss various puzzles, and excitedly asked people to fetch paper and pens to make pictures immediately.

It's a pity that the Empress Dowager was also present.

Hearing the sound, she nodded: "Lingyi is right, Qiqige, how is your riding and archery practice? Aijia will take you to the horse farm to practice tomorrow."

Qiqige sneered: "...is it okay?"

The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied: "It's okay? What kind of answer is this?"

Qiqige became more and more guilty.

etc?What are you guilty of?Suddenly thinking of the short-fire gun she owns, Qiqige cheered up immediately: "Just go, I think my grades should be pretty good?"

Ling Yi widened her eyes and raised her voice, "Impossible!"

Everyone looked at her in unison, and she blushed when she saw this, but she couldn't help muttering in a low voice: "Last time, I saw that Huang Mama couldn't even hit the target while standing on the ground. ..."

The empress dowager stared at Qiqige expressionlessly.

All the concubines couldn't help snickering, not to mention Zhen Zhen and Si Chun, the two children acted out of courage, echoed Ling Yi's words, and talked together to criticize Qi Qige. .

Qiqige cleared her cough.

She looked at the three of Lingyi with full confidence: "This time, Huang Mama will hunt for you! I will definitely surprise you, huh!"

"Then what if Huang Mama doesn't catch it?"

"This doll house is yours." Qiqige snorted softly, and before Lingyi and the other three cheered, she added: "But if Ai's family hunts..."

The three of them held their breath.

Qiqige smiled viciously: "If you fail to pass the exam this year, then... all your trips outside the Great Wall will be cancelled, and you will have to stay in the palace to study!"

Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun gasped.

The three of them whispered together for a while, and learned to bargain without a teacher: "Our request is only that the emperor's mama hunted, but we didn't say the quantity. Then this time... the three of us, the emperor's mama must hunt at least three." Only can!"

Qiqige chuckled lightly: "No problem."

The Xiyuan is full of prey, and she still doesn't believe that she can't catch it!

"Wait." The Empress Dowager stopped the quarrel between Qiqige and Lingyi, and she said angrily: "Tomorrow is the assessment, how can you officially start hunting?"

Qiqige: "...Oh."

Lingyi, Zhenzhen and Sichun couldn't help but pouted too.

The Empress Dowager was amused.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Qiqige: "Since Qiqige wants to perform so much, Aijia sees that the Dragon Boat Festival will be half a month away, why don't you invite Fujin's wives to a hunting competition in Xiyuan?"

Qiqige gasped.

If you lose face in front of Lingyi, Zhen Zhen and Sichun, you will also lose face in front of your family members.If in front of Fujin's wives... Qiqige swallowed her saliva, somewhat nervous.

On the contrary, the eyes of the three of them brightened.

They snickered and provoked: "Isn't Mama Huang not happy? It's too late to admit defeat!"

Qiqige is out of control now.

She bit the bullet: "Whoever is afraid of whom, whoever regrets is a puppy!"

Looking back, Qiqige wanted to be a puppy.

Especially after being scolded by the Empress Dowager the next day, Qiqige wanted to show off even more.

Or...you can lose face if you lose face?

Qiqige tried her best to shake this tempting thought out of her mind, and tried to do it again with all her energy.

I will never admit defeat, never!

That being said, after Qiqige gritted her teeth and practiced hard, she became dizzy from exhaustion, her legs were sore and her hands hurt, not to mention how bad her mood was.

The only thing that can save her is the doll's house.

Just when Qiqige and the Empress Dowager were nestling in the Renshou Palace, making small chairs and stools with great interest, Kangxi pushed the door and entered with a gloomy face.

Qiqige noticed that Kangxi's expression was not right.

She exchanged glances with the Empress Dowager tacitly. The Empress Dowager signaled the palace servants to step back, while Qiqige waved to Kangxi: "The emperor, come quickly."

Kangxi moved to Qiqige's side sullenly.

He was still thinking about how to express his troubles, so he listened to Qiqige's muttering: "The emperor came just in time, come, come, this is up to you."

Something was stuffed into Kangxi's hand.

His mind was blank: "...huh?"

Kangxi woke up.

He belatedly looked at his palm, which contained a few miniature wooden boards: "...is this?"

Qiqige squinted at Kangxi.

Reluctantly, she demonstrated to Kangxi with her own hands: "Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble, just put together like this, hurry up!"

The Empress Dowager also nodded with a smile: "We are in need of help."

Is the co-author a coolie delivered to your door?

It's better to let Lingyi and the others come over to help, I think they will be happy.

Kangxi was silent for a moment, but still let go of his thoughts and began to study the toy in his palm.

The more he looked at it, the more strange it became.

Although these are just toys, their exquisiteness as a tribute is amazing.

For example, the small sofa in front of me is only the size of a fingernail, but even the leather cushion and cotton filling are made, which shows the craftsman's level of care.Similarly, it is also a meticulous job to build a perfect shape with parts.

Kangxi had to carefully separate the fixed pieces of wood, and then put them together in the correct shape, and soon a delicate and lovely sofa chair appeared in the center of his palm.

Be more careful after combining.

Kangxi held his breath and nervously put the sofa chair on the shelf.

After appreciating it for a while, he felt that something was missing. Kangxi looked left and right, then adjusted the positions of the sofa chair and coffee table, put the teapot and teacup on the side of the coffee table, and dug out a few more. The remaining parts were made into a three-seat sofa and placed inside.

Qiqige, who finally finished the wooden cabinet, wanted to see Kangxi's progress, but she didn't expect to see such a scene.

With a serious face, Kangxi adjusted the positions of all the utensils. He was serious and cautious, and looked inexplicably cute.

Qiqige snickered.

Then she saw that Kangxi happily made a small pillow with two handfuls of cotton and fabric, put it on the chair seriously, and even picked up the scissors and started cutting the wool carpet that came with him, carefully laying it on the bottom.

It seemed that something was wrong, so Kangxi adjusted it a few times.

Qiqige looked at him expressionlessly, but he still had something to say.After Kangxi adjusted the position of the utensils, he turned his attention to the matching dolls. He picked out two cute little rabbit dolls and put them on, only then was he satisfied.

How about... do something else?

Seeing that Kangxi turned his eyes to the rest of the decorations and was eager to try, Qiqige finally couldn't help it: "The emperor!"

Kangxi withdrew his hand resentfully, and coughed pretending to be innocent.Qiqige hurriedly picked up her doll house and put it into the inner room, and only after hiding her little baby did she come out with a straight face.

Noticing that Kangxi was still looking inside, Qiqige quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of the emperor, what were you bothered about?"

Kangxi also came back to his senses.

Thinking of the business, he immediately frowned, and his face stretched even longer.

The Empress Dowager sighed: "Is it... the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

Kangxi nodded: "Halason and Tuba...heh."

The word "he" can express Kangxi's anger.

He stood up and walked around the hall, the anger that had been suppressed was burning again.Kangxi took a deep breath: "Emperor Mama, Empress Mother, and sons and daughters asked Hai Laxun and Tuba to investigate the case of reselling tribute by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Do you know how many people they found?"

Qiqige and the Empress Dowager looked at each other and shook their heads.

Kangxi held his breath and spit out a number: "A total of 11 people."

Qiqige raised her eyebrows: "It's okay."

After all, this is to get rid of those officials and palace people who were reprimanded by Galu that day, and they belong to moths that have not been caught.

"That's what I thought at first, too."

"You mean there's something wrong with it?" Qiqige asked in surprise.

"I said the other day that apart from asking Hailaxun and Tuba to investigate the case, I also selected a group of people to investigate secretly." Kangxi replied with a deadpan expression.

Qiqige remembered that it seemed to be the case.

She nodded, and guessed again: "Is... the results of the two sides are completely different?"

Kangxi smiled more gently.

He shook his head: "No, the problem is that the results given by both sides are exactly the same."

The Empress Dowager was drinking tea slowly.

Hearing this, she also stopped moving, with a half-smile.

Qiqige didn't wake up at first.

Then she gradually opened her eyes wide: "The results given by both sides are exactly the same?"

This is strange.

It should be said that Hirazun and Tuba may be able to clearly know the cronies of Galu, and do something to kick those people out.

What about the officials sent by Kangxi to investigate?

According to the verification of the information, there will always be some people who have done something wrong, helped a little, and made some small mistakes...

Just like when the palace was rectified before.

The prisoners given are all exactly the same, which inevitably raises doubts.

Qiqige settled down: "Who are these 11 people...?"

Kangxi sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "The highest status among them is Liu Wuliu, the head of the Guangchu Department, and the other ten people are respectively Bitie Shi, Treasury Manager, scribe and even a handy eunuch."

Qiqige frowned: "Guang Chu Si..."

There are more than 50 institutions under the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and these more than [-] institutions cover all matters such as the royal family's food, accommodation and transportation.

The most important of these are the Seven Divisions and Three Courts, and the Guangchu Division, as the head of the Seven Divisions, is in charge of the Six Treasurys, Seven Operations, Two Houses, Three Weaving Bureaus, and the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau. The level of the head office treasury is also the most stringent supervision.

There is no doubt that the position of the head of the Guangchu Department is also a big piece of fat in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Thinking of this, Qiqige pondered: "This person...is he Galu's confidant?"

"Most likely."

"What about the evidence? Did he plead guilty?"

"The evidence is solid, and he also pleaded guilty." Kangxi sneered, "The rest of the people also said that they were entrusted by him or Galu to transfer the tribute from the warehouse."

Qiqige gasped.

Kangxi smiled slightly, but there was a smile in his eyes, and his voice was as cold as ice: "According to the notes they submitted, this case can be closed now."

. ...,

No wonder the emperor came in with such a bad face.

Qiqige was stunned for a moment, almost applauding for those brave men.She laughed back angrily: "Where did they get the courage? Where did they get the confidence to think that they could fool the emperor?"

Who do they think Kangxi is?

Qiqige took a deep breath, barely suppressing her anger.

Also displeased is the Empress Dowager.

In fact, it is normal for people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to have unclean hands and feet—there will be no fish when the water is clear.

Kangxi, the Empress Dowager, and Qiqige didn't care about such nosy matters every day.It's just that the three of them never imagined that the Ministry of Internal Affairs actually had the idea of ​​deceiving Kangxi, colluded up and down, and even pushed out evidence and criminals in a short period of time.

Qiqige sighed: "Money touches people's hearts."

She lowered her eyes and whispered: "Aijia once heard that as long as there is a proper profit, someone will dare to work hard. Ten percent of the profit is enough for people to use everywhere, and 20.00% of the profit is enough for people to take risks. If there is 100% A profit of [-]% can make people trample on the law, and a profit of [-]%... is enough to make people commit any crime, even beheading." ①

Resell the tribute to obtain a large profit.

Doesn't the costless business just make people feel unscrupulous?

Kangxi sneered.

The empress dowager sighed: "What is the emperor planning to do?"

Kangxi's face was cold and solemn: "Investigate thoroughly to the end."

The more they were like this, the more Kangxi wondered how much unknown dirt was hidden behind it.Kangxi's expression was calm, but his voice was full of sternness: "Since they dare to embezzle and accept bribes, since they dare to cover up others, deceive me, or voluntarily take responsibility for their crimes, then don't blame me for being ruthless." gone."

"Kill those who should be killed, copy what should be copied, and exile those who should be exiled. After you want to kill others to make an example to monkeys, the officials who come up later will be more honest."
