These years of being the queen mother!

Although Concubine Li Kang and Concubine Li Zhuang both have the surname Li, they are actually not very related. The reason why they are called Xi Li Dong Li is just to facilitate the distinction.Although the East and West Li raised Zhu Youjian together, but because there was no one in the East Li Zhuangfei, she treated Zhu Youjian like a parent and child. Zhu Youjian was closer to her than to the West Li Kangfei who had a son and was favored by Zhu Changluo.

Although Liu Shunv said that she was aggrieved, she still had some ability, not to mention other things, but the few old people she left for Zhu Youjian were very good.One of the Gong'e surnamed Cao was even more tongue-in-cheek, thinking that the fifth prince was an excuse to go to the side of Concubine Li Kang of the West Li and she was trusted by Concubine Li Zhuang of the East Li.

That is, she, after getting the secret medicine used by concubines in the Han and Tang Dynasties to frame opponents, persuaded Dongxi Erli successively, and united the two to give Zhang Shi to take it by the hand of Queen Zhang.Yang Lingyue guessed that Empress Zhang probably didn't know about it, so when it was reported that Zhang was pregnant, Empress Zhang could not control her emotions and left Zhu Youxiao with a mean concubine impression.

The reason why Cao Gong'e and Dongxierli chose to attack Zhang was because Zhang, who was born as a court lady and was disliked by Queen Zhang, had better attack. After all, together with Zhang, Zhu Youxiao currently has only 11 women. People, including Empress Zhang, who is the mother of the world.

And the reason why they do this kind of thing is nothing more than to take the opportunity to make trouble and say it is God's punishment, and make Zhu Youxiao face. After all, the "snake fetus" that Zhang's conceived was born as Zhu Youxiao's first child. a son.

Yang Lingyue is really a cold-blooded and cold-hearted person. When she learned about this matter from Dongchang's secret archived materials, she only felt sorry for Mrs. Zhang for a second, and then asked Wei Zhongxian to try to get this secret medicine.

The reason why Yang Lingyue did this was not because she was harmful to others, but to prevent those three idiots from attacking again. Although it can be solved with a few catties of spirits after being hit by this secret medicine, the question is who will let pregnant women drink spirits, You must know that the symptoms of those who have taken this secret medicine are exactly the same as those of pregnant women, and even the imperial physician can't tell the difference. Instead of defending against thieves all day long, Yang Lingyue would rather have no such creature as a thief.

Yang Lingyue believed in the ability of the Yidong factory staff, and they would be able to get the refining formula of the secret medicine from Cao Gong'e without anyone noticing.

In fact, this is also the case. It didn't take long for Yang Lingyue to get Wei Zhongxian's words of "things are done" from Dongguo. Now Yang Lingyue asks Dongguo to inform Wei Zhongxian and ask him to send someone to find out Zhou Meiren's three clans. Yang Lingyue believes that, It didn't take long for me to know whether Zhou Meiren's younger sister was the empress Xiaojielie in history.

Soon the summer passed, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the autumn when there were many fruits and everything was harvested.Due to the Little Ice Age at this time, the large-scale drought from south to north made this year's harvest poor again.After the people paid their taxes, the food left was not enough to satisfy their hunger. All of a sudden, there were refugees everywhere, and the governments all over the country wrote letters to ask for orders, and opened warehouses to release food to help the people.

"There was a severe drought last year, a severe drought this year, and a severe drought every year. Let me open a warehouse to release grain every year." Zhu Youxiao angrily threw the booklet in his hand on the ground, and roared at the five ministers furiously. "Tell me, what do I need you for?"

"Long live God, calm down, I will wait for death." The five ministers bowed their waists tremblingly, and pleaded guilty to Zhu Youxiao at the same time.

Zhu Youxiao was so heartbroken that he rolled his eyes angrily and said, "I thought you came to me because you had found a way, and asked me for advice, but came to ask me for my idea. If you die, why don't you die right away! "

Well, Zhu Youxiao's words directly stabbed the hornet's nest. When the scholar-bureaucrats who loved the name and were proud of "fighting against the emperor" heard this, they immediately stiffened their necks, took off the black gauze hat on their necks, and were about to hit the wall.The attitude of not being afraid of death and wanting to stay innocent made Zhu Youxiao's heart feel even tighter. He only hated why he had to see these things. You must know that the three-story wooden boat he carved was about to be completed.

Zhu Youxiao smashed two sets of green-glazed tea sets from the Yongle period, and then he released his anger, and said heartily: "I remember that this year's tax was just collected, so I used it..." Let's help the people!

Before Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wang Yingjiao, the Minister of the Household Department, who had just performed the trick of hitting the wall: "Long live, because of the drought, the tax money collected is only one-third of the previous year, and even to make up for last year's deficit. If it’s not enough, how can we help the victims, since more than one state and county has been affected by disasters this year.”

"So? You asked me to open a private treasury." Now Zhu Youxiao really vomited blood, wishing he could strangle this trash Wang Yingjiao to death.It is said that the food king's salary is for the king to share the worries, so why do the subordinates I meet are a group of wine bags and rice bags.

It seems that I have to find Wanwu (Wei Zhongxian's word) to find a way.Don't have to, Zhu Youxiao will never open a private treasury and find his own treasures to help the people. You must know that the things in his private treasury are all treasures among the treasures. Zhu Youxiao, an outstanding craftsman, is absolutely reluctant.

It's just that I can't bear it, the money in the national treasury is not enough for disaster relief, so what if I don't open a private treasury.Zhu Youxiao, who decided to find Wei Zhongxian, who was trusted by him, to resolve the matter, just organized his words and wanted to speak, and said that Cao Cao and Cao Cao were coming, and Wei Zhongxian appeared on the stage wearing the court uniform of a first-rank official.

"Long live Lord." Wei Zhongxian said respectfully and politely: "The imperial concubine personally made a cup of rock sugar pears for the long live Lord, and is waiting outside the hall. Will the long live master let the imperial concubine go back or..."

"Let the imperial concubine come in, what are you waiting for outside, it just so happens that I need her to write something on my behalf."

Anyway, Zhu Youxiao's handwriting is notoriously ugly, and almost everyone knows it, so Zhu Youxiao directly asked Wei Zhongxian to lead Yang Lingyue in in front of the five ministers.

Today, because of the good weather, Yang Lingyue walked into the main hall gracefully, wearing a guizigreen chest-length Ruijinru skirt, a phoenix crown, and a food box in hand.

While walking around, Yang Lingyue glanced lightly at the five officials and the capital censor who bowed their heads, smiled playfully, and put the food box in her hand on the desk in front of Zhu Youxiao as usual. Go on, open the lid of the food box, and take out a steaming cup of rock sugar Sydney.

"Yesterday, my concubine saw that the Long Live Lord coughed a few times in the wind, fearing that the Long Live Lord would cause the wind and cold, so he made his own initiative to stew this pear with rock sugar. Long Live Lord, you have a taste, it tastes good."

"Concubine Ai has a heart."

Looking at Yang Lingyue's smile, Zhu Youxiao, who was originally furious, was relieved strangely.He glared a few times and still looked down at the five officials and the capital censor, and said angrily: "You guys are not backing down, just wait for me to drive you away!"

The five officials and the capital censor all breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly exited the main hall.

After they left, Zhu Youxiao secretly cursed something blind, and then asked Yang Lingyue to feed him this cup of pears with rock sugar that was said to be stewed by Yang Lingyue himself.After finally finishing feeding, Yang Lingyue pretended to ask casually when she asked the servants to clean up the leftovers.

"Why was Lord Long Live so angry just now?"

Zhu Youxiao briefly said that the treasury did not have money to help the victims. Yang Lingyue, who listened carefully, frowned, and said softly: "This is a troublesome matter. I guess it’s just a drop in the bucket.” You have to think of a way. "

"That's what I think." Zhu Youxiao, who felt that Yang Lingyue's words were very close to his own, said, "I've thought about it for a long time, but I still haven't come up with a good idea. It seems that I can only trouble me to share my worries."

Yang Lingyue laughed lightly.I just heard her say this: "Long live Lord only thinks that Eunuch Wei can relieve your worries, and I'm afraid he has forgotten that Ah Yue is such a living person. It seems that the concubine has to swallow his thoughts back to his stomach, and will not speak easily. "

Wei Zhongxian, who was waiting on the side, raised his eyebrows, and walked out of the palace door without saying anything.At this time, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile on his face: "Ah Yue has a good idea, please tell me quickly."

As mentioned earlier, the old Zhu's family loves to produce strange things, and Zhu Youxiao, who is the old Zhu's family, is no exception.For Zhu Youxiao, being a carpenter is more attentive than being an emperor, and he doesn't care about the affairs of the harem women at all.This guy hopes that his (little) wife can do a little better, help him solve problems, and deal with state affairs that hurt your mind. For Zhu Youxiao, Yang Lingyue, who came from a small family and a good family, is as easy to control as Wei Zhongxian, who is trusted by him. Can only rely on him to survive.

However... actually...

Yang Lingyue hooked her lips, showing a smile that couldn't be shallower, and said bluntly: "During the Hongwu period, it was said that Shen Wansan's wealth was so large that it could fill the entire Forbidden City. I don't know if this is true or not. But I think he is very rich, otherwise why would the world say that Shen Wansan is the richest man in Ming Dynasty."

"You mean to ask Jin Yiwei to find a businessman's house for nothing." Zhu Youxiao said thoughtfully, obviously very moved by this.

Yang Lingyue shook her head, but said: "I don't mean that, I mean that the money needed for disaster relief can be found from merchants, but we don't need to use the name of ransacking the house, we can let the merchants donate the money automatically...

Yang Lingyue, who is familiar with history, knows that businessmen not only have inexhaustible wealth, but also have a mountain of food at home.But in many cases, these wealthy businessmen would rather put the grain in the granary to moldy and rot than take it out to do good deeds to help the people.So we must think of a good way to let them take it out voluntarily, not in the name of ransacking their homes.The reason why she did this was not because of kindness and kindness. Yang Lingyue thought she didn't have such a thing.

As the so-called government forces the people to rebel, if the merchants are persecuted too fiercely, it is estimated that all the merchants in Ming Dynasty will stand on the side of Houjin. From Youyan, Liaodong in the north, Fujian and Guangdong in the south, for the sake of [-]% huge profits and the reputation of the imperial merchants, they will continue to deliver everything they need, including iron weapons, to Houjin.

Yang Lingyue thought it would be a very good idea to spend a few pieces of paper to give awards such as "serving the country and the people, a model of benevolent businessmen" to the businessmen of Ming Dynasty who actively donated money to help the government relieve the victims of the disaster. It is also good for the heirs of the family to be able to participate in the scientific examination, um, it is also very good to be given the title of imperial merchant.
