These years of being the queen mother!

In the 11th year of Taichang, apart from the bad things that Zhang's family did during the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 12th, which involved the fact that Queen Mother Yang's biological father was still alive, there were no other disturbing things.In the 14th year of Taichang, when Zhu Cilin officially turned [-], Empress Dowager Yang had handed over most of the court affairs to Zhu Cilin herself. Except for some important affairs, Empress Dowager Yang seldom asked about government policy-making!

In January of the 12th year of Taichang, the governors of Shanshan, Gansu and the three provinces jointly wrote a letter stating: This year, there is a severe drought, and the plague of locusts is coming on a large scale.

After receiving the memorial, Zhu Cilin first went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and after asking Empress Dowager Yang for her opinion, she went back to the Palace of Qianqing to summon the six ministers, and ordered the Minister of the Ministry of Households to confirm in advance the food and grass needed for disaster relief, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to prepare According to the water conservancy engineering drawings of the topography of Shaanxi, Shanshan and Gansu provinces, it is good to dig canals, store water and use groundwater for drinking irrigation!

Minister of the Ministry of Industry hesitated for a moment, and asked. "May I ask, Your Majesty, whether you have issued an order for the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs to collect labor."

"What kind of labor service? The slaves bought from foreigners every year are not enough to overhaul the water conservancy projects in Shanshan, Gansu and Gansu provinces." Zhu Cilin's sharp eyes raised up, and the increasingly mature face revealed a kind of domineering that belonged only to the emperor.He just described it lightly, but it made Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry start to tremble with fear, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry hurriedly begged for mercy in a panic.

"It's the old minister who forgot. The slaves bought from foreigners every year are collected one after another. The number is definitely enough for the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Gansu to smoothly build canals and dams. Concentrate manpower first to build in severe drought areas.”

"You can do what you say, just follow what Qing sees." As the emperor, he only played a role in overseeing the overall situation. How to deploy manpower, he had his own officials from the Ministry of Industry to carry out.

Due to the limited manpower and material resources in this era, it will take several years to build canals and dig dams in the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanshan and Gansu. Therefore, after explaining a few words to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Zhu Cilin did not pay attention to the drought in the three provinces of Shaanxi, Shanshan and Gansu. He aimed his eyes fiercely at Liaodong.

Because of years of cultivation and rest, the Manchu Tartars regained a little vitality.However, because Empress Dowager Yang was too guarded against them, she has always strictly ordered the Liaodong defenders not to let a Ming businessman do business with the Manchu Qing, and has always strictly ordered to maintain the policy of strengthening the wall and clearing the country.Therefore, the Manchu Tartars, who have always been eager to spy on Daming, can only adopt the strategy of attacking border towns to test Daming's bottom line.

Regardless of whether it was the Daming controlled by the Empress Dowager Yang or the Daming controlled by Zhu Cilin after she took over the government, they all hated the Manchu Tartars, so this little move by the Manchu Tartars to test the bottom line directly stabbed the hearts of the two Buddhas .It's fine if he didn't take the initiative to hit you, but he dared to twist the tiger's beard when he recovered a little bit of strength.

The two giant Buddhas, who believed that their military strength had completely defeated the Manchu Tartars at this time, had a private discussion, and not long after the Manchurian Tartars attacked the Bianshui town to test the bottom line, Mingda, the general of soldiers and horses stationed in Liaodong, received a letter from Yang. The imperial decree and imperial decree issued by the queen mother and Zhu Ciling respectively - "hit, beat hard." So with the issuance of the imperial decree by the queen mother and the imperial edict, the battle that will determine the future fate of the Qing Dynasty inevitably broke out.

On June 12, 650th year of Taichang, Zhu Cilin ordered to limit the number of inscriptions to [-] characters, excluding soldiers, punishments, money, and valley affairs.

On the eighth day of July, there was a severe drought across the country, and the summer locusts in the Jianghuai area covered the sky, resulting in no grain harvest.Zhu Cixi ordered the Ministry of Households to invest millions of dollars to buy emergency food from Spain, which was colonizing America, to help the people in Jianghuai.

After such an unexpected natural disaster, Zhu Cilin, who already had the ambition to expand and colonize the outside world, was even more coveted for the fertile and vast land of Liaoxi (Jianzhou), which was said to be black in soil, and became more and more eager to use troops against the Manchu Tartars. Carefully.As for the outside world, Zhu Cilin ambitiously joined the great powers that carve up the Americas without the instigation of Queen Mother Yang behind her back.

So after Zhu Cilin built the royal private garden in California, America, Zhu Cilin bought Texas from the native Indians with money, built pastures and farms there, and relied on increasingly prosperous and prosperous sea transportation to Ming Dynasty. Continuous supply of agricultural meat.

Because there is a large granary outside, the impact of natural disasters on the people of Ming Dynasty has been greatly alleviated.After this incident, many people in Ming Dynasty no longer feel that it is difficult to leave their homeland. They respond to the foreign immigration policy announced by the Ministry of Rites on the will of Empress Dowager Yang.Until the 14th year of Taichang, when Zhu Cilin officially took over the government, the number of immigrants from Ming Dynasty had reached the peak of one million.Among them, although some countries used the land occupied by foreign colonies as the land for rewards when rewarding soldiers for meritorious service after the destruction of Manchuria, it has to be said that this move greatly promoted foreign immigration.

In April of the 13th year of Taichang, the severe drought continued. There was no rain for a long time in the Wujiang area, and the sky was covered by migratory locusts.The local officials ordered the people to catch them widely, but for some reason the migratory locusts are still increasing day by day.

With such a major disaster, there are unscrupulous traders who took the opportunity to drive up the price of rice and make a fortune for the country.Before the disaster relief food and grass arrived, the price of rice had already reached four one-yuan silver dragon coins per stone.After Datian heard the news, Empress Dowager Yang was furious, and ordered the factory guards to be dispatched to kill the illegal traders one by one, and then opened the treasury, allocated millions of grain and grass, and successfully suppressed the price of rice back to a penny before the disaster. The price of dragon coins is one stone, and factories are set up in various places to distribute porridge. Some officials counted the number of people who go to porridge sheds in various places every day.

On April 13, 25, Taichang had a total solar eclipse.

At the beginning of June, after the disaster in the Wujiang area was eased, there was a severe drought in Liangji, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Huguang, and locusts broke out.At that time, Shandong and other provinces reported disasters year after year, and Zuo Mao and others supervised and urged the water transportation. The Taoist said: "I arrived in Linqing from Jinghai, and saw that three people died of starvation, three died of epidemics, and four were robbers." Li Qingshan then Leading the people to revolt, blocking the water transportation, the Ming court was greatly shaken.

"Why did the hungry people cause chaos again?" Empress Dowager Yang sternly said to Yuan Houshan, the commander of Jinyiwei. "Check it out, check it out for the Ai family. If there is a reason for the incident, the Ai family will make life worse than death for the person who caused the incident."

However, it originally came from the 13th year of Taichang when the Manchus declared war against the Qing Dynasty. Until now, in the [-]th year of Taichang, Shandong, Henan and other provinces have experienced severe droughts, severe locust plagues, poor harvests in farmland, and epidemics of plague.Because most of the energy of the imperial court was put on the war with the Manchus, the local officials were a little derelict in their response to the disaster, and they did not report it. public outrage.

Li Qingshan was born as a farmer, butcher for business. Because he helped the hungry people buy grain, he got into a dispute with a profiteer who was not selling the grain, and beat his accountant to death by mistake.Because profiteers bribed the local officials, Li Qingsong, who had nowhere to go, simply became ruthless and gathered thousands of people to revolt, calling himself "Qukui".Li Qingshan was forced to revolt, so he should be easy to appease.Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang felt a little relieved, and instead ordered officials from Shandong, Henan and other provinces to be severely punished.

Empress Dowager Yang originally planned to clean up Shandong, Henan and other provincial officials before proceeding to deal with the newly emerged rebel leader Li Qingshan.Never thought about it, and hadn't taken any action yet. Zhou Yanru, who returned to Beijing to succeed, proposed to Zhu Cilin a plan to trap Li Qingshan.

Zhu Cilin didn't know the reason, but he didn't act impulsively after listening to Zhou Yanru's opinion. Instead, he asked Empress Dowager Yang what she planned to do.Thanks to Daming Factory Guard's excellent intelligence capabilities, Empress Dowager Yang found out within a few days that Zhou Yanru had met Li Qingshan when he took a boat from Yixing to the north along the canal and passed Liangshan.Zhou Yanru fully agreed at the time, but when he returned to Beijing, he met Zhu Cilin alone... and proposed the so-called entrapment plan.

Empress Dowager Yang didn't like Zhou Yanru's behavior at all, so she sent him to work abroad. Now that Zhou Yanru did such a dishonest thing as soon as he returned to Beijing, Empress Dowager Yang hated him even more.

"The Ai family originally planned to recruit Li Qingshan after dealing with officials from Shandong, Henan and other provinces. I never thought that Li Qingshan had long ago intended to surrender. Fortunately, the factory guards found out, so Zhou Yanru did not let this matter go bad."

"I understand the meaning of the queen mother. Li Qingshan rebelled against the court for a reason, and he should mainly appease him. I will order Lu Aiqing to go to Liangshan to recruit Li Qingshan in person." After Zhu Cilin wrote the imperial edict, he thought about it and asked Queen Mother Yang. "It seems that Zhou Yanru cannot be reused."

"Then put him in the Hanlin Academy, as long as he is usually far away." Empress Dowager Yang took a sip of tea, but changed the subject and said with a smile. "Tang Ruowang presented the repaired old Qin together with another musical instrument from a foreign country to Saburo. What reward does Saburo plan to give this genuine German!"

"Xu Gong (Xu Guangqi) once said that he is a great talent with profound knowledge in astronomy and calendar. I think so. Why don't you give him the status of Doctor Guanglu and let him assist Qin Tianjian in compiling the calendar."

"Sanlang is the emperor of Ming Dynasty, these things can be done as you see fit, the reason why the empress mother asked this question is just out of curiosity." Empress Dowager Yang paused and said again. "At present, these matters of disaster relief are taken care of by the queen mother, so you can relax and follow the Liaodong war closely. You must know that this battle is not only about the future fate of the Manchurian Tartars, but also about the future fate of the Ming Dynasty, so this battle must be won. "

"Queen, Saburo understands what you mean." Zhu Cilin said with a straight face. "In terms of internal affairs, I have to spend more time on my mother."

On the second day after this conversation, Empress Dowager Yang told the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the honor of the Empress Dowager that the province is starving, and there are people in Jifu, Shandong, Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi who eat local vegetables and have no food. , and gouged out the meat and cut the bones, used the amount of money, said it, shed tears, mourned the suffering of the people, opened the treasury, bought grain from outside, to relieve the people affected by the disaster, as for gathering people to make trouble, the mourning family has found out the reason for the incident , One by one decided to let the past go, which shows the court's tolerance.

As soon as this order came out, not to mention how grateful the victims who had been resettled were, Li Qingshan and the others immediately surrendered after hearing this order.After seeing Li Qingshan, Empress Dowager Yang felt that he was not bad, so she handed him over to Li Dingguo, the prospective son-in-law.

After the drought in Liangji, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Huguang areas was dealt with, time came to July in a flash. Empress Dowager Yang had just issued a decree and pointed out the two eldest princesses and a princess with a different surname. Before the atmosphere was over, it was heard that Jin Yiwei flew a horse to report, saying that there was a big earthquake on the ground in the middle of the night.The city walls and residential buildings were destroyed, the cliffs collapsed, and countless people were killed and injured.

After one after another natural disasters occurred, Empress Dowager Yang suddenly remembered a more magical saying in later generations-luck. "Is it true that, as later generations said, the Manchu Tartars had great luck, so they were able to conquer the Ming Dynasty with millions of people?"

It seems that since the war with the Manchu and Qing Tartars, since the 12th year of Taichang, there has not been a year without large-scale natural disasters, and what's more, officials have neglected their duties and aroused public indignation.

Thinking of this, even someone as powerful as Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but burn a stick of incense to Sanqing, begging for peace of mind.

But despite this, Empress Dowager Yang became like the ancients who believed in ghosts and gods because of her time-traveling relationship, but the difference is that Empress Dowager Yang did not believe in fate very much.Therefore, even if it is suspected that the Manchurian Tartars may really have great luck, Empress Dowager Yang will never give up the opportunity to destroy the Manchurian Kingdom with one blow.Therefore, Empress Dowager Yang, who had already ignored the government affairs, made another move and asked Zhu Cilin to focus on the war in Liaodong, while she paid close attention to the domestic situation, and must not let the natural disasters that appeared from time to time affect the situation in Liaodong.

At present, although there are endless natural disasters that delay the retreat, she, Queen Mother Yang, still doesn't believe it. With the internal affairs handled properly and the Liaodong Army going all out, can't it be possible to defeat the Manchu Qing?Even if it takes three to five years, she will definitely destroy the Qing Dynasty.

Unexpected and unexpected, the battle to determine the fate of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty lasted for three full years.Relying on the uninterrupted transportation of various military supplies from foreign colonies, the Ming Dynasty finally realized Queen Mother Yang’s ambition in the winter of the 14th year of Taichang, turning the Manchu people with a population of one million into a minority with a population of only tens of thousands.At the same time that the Qing Dynasty was broken and the vast land of Jianzhou returned to the Ming Dynasty, the Emperor Dorgon of Manchuria died, and his wife Borjijit Mubutai moved to live in Beijing with his youngest son Fulin.

Seeing the face of the two Manchu nobles in the harem, Zhu Cilin didn't intend to embarrass the orphans and widows.After Mubutai's mother and son entered the capital, in order to show kindness to the world, Zhu Cilin granted Fulin the status of Lord Marquis, and Long En powerfully imprisoned him in the capital for the rest of his life.

On the first day of the first month of the 15th year of Taichang, Empress Dowager Yang announced that she would return to power to the young emperor Zhu Cilin.Three days after Zhu Cixi formally took over the government, Ping Shifeng's granddaughter Shi Xi became the queen, breaking the ancestral precept that the queen must come out of a small family and a good family.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhu Cilin, who had just married, summoned Zhaoyi, Jieyu, beauties, talented people, etc. to revoke the titles, leaving only one empress, four concubines and nine concubines.

When Shixi was granted the title of Empress of the Yuan Dynasty, the two sisters Makata and Rita were Ding and Li respectively, and the two Li sisters were Han and Chao respectively.

At the same time, Empress Dowager Yang, who was resting in the Compassionate Palace, had a dream.In the dream, she did not enter the palace, but lived outside the palace with her younger brother.Even though the days were uneventful, she was extremely satisfied in her dream, until he unexpectedly appeared...

Empress Dowager Yang, who suddenly woke up from her dream, suddenly sat up from the bed. She stared blankly at the smoky blue bed curtain, and after a long time, she suddenly showed a wry smile.Zhu Youxiao, Zhu Youxiao, it's rare for me to have a good dream that meets my wish, and you also came out to disrupt the situation, did we agree to the sentence that we are not enemies and don't get together!

You, you, those years have rarely appeared in my dreams. Now that I have delegated power and Saburo takes over the government, you will enter my dreams and declare your existence, but you are reminding me that it is time to let go of all this and travel all over this beautiful river and mountain to live up to it. Come to Daming for a walk.

Empress Dowager Yang put her reason for wanting to go out to visit the mountains and rivers without any sense of pressure on her dead ghost husband, showing a flowery smile.The smiling eyebrows and the corners of the mouth are all relaxed and comfortable.

In the first half of my life, the harem was ups and downs, and in the second half of my life, I just want to be intoxicated in this brand-new beautiful river and mountain, and no longer worry about the affairs of the court!

The author has something to say: Hey, in fact, if you write it down, you can write about [-] words. It is nothing more than Zhu Cilin's massacre of the Quartet and the colonial struggle with European powers.The original plan was to end it when Zhu Ciling formally took over the government. Now that I think about it, the original plan remains the same. In the story, it will mention the Ming Dynasty fighting against the European powers for colonies, destroying the Wa Kingdom and Empress Dowager Yang to start a global travel mode, so please Looking forward to the episode!
