These years of being the queen mother!

After dealing with the Shanxi merchants and making most of the merchants and wealthy households in the pass peaceful and peaceful for the time being, it will be the first day of the first lunar month.On this day, Zhu Cilin officially ascended the throne at the age of four, and officially changed the country name from Tianqi to Taichang; on this day, Wei Zhongxian, who is almost 60 years old, somehow figured it out, and officially retreated behind the scenes, not in the public eye , but continued to work for his granddaughter and great-grandson in the dark.

In view of Wei Zhongxian retreating behind the scenes, the scholar-bureaucrats who thought they had finally defeated the eunuch party turned their attention to the eunuch party officials headed by Shi Fenglai, and wrote impeachment letters to the sky, asking the queen mother who listened behind the curtain to remove Shi Fenglai as the chief assistant. Remove Li Guo and other Wei Dang from officials and exile!

Yang Lingyue gathered up the impeachment papers, and summoned Wei Zhongxian and Shi Fenglai in the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace.

After Wei Zhongxian arrived, Yang Lingyue said directly with a cold face: "Grandfather, Ah Yue is very dissatisfied!"

Shi Fenglai, who followed Wei Zhongxian into the East Nuan Pavilion, had a flash of surprise in his eyes.The empress called Wei Gong's grandfather in front of her face. Does this mean that the empress has no intention of dealing with Wei Gong and Wei Dang.Thinking of this, the stone that had been hanging in Shi Fenglai's heart fell to the ground involuntarily!

"Dissatisfied?" Wei Zhongxian raised his eyebrows somewhat playfully, and asked, "May the empress express clearly why she is dissatisfied with this old slave?"

"What I'm dissatisfied with is..." Yang Lingyue stared into Wei Zhongxian's eyes, and said word by word, "It's because my grandfather didn't clean up the Donglin Party thoroughly. Retired behind the scenes, the surviving Donglin Party has shown signs of rising again."

"Your Majesty, let the officials intervene. Even if the Donglin Party is revived now, it is not as good as before. It is nothing to worry about." Shi Fenglai had a silly smile on his chubby face, and his words were even more tactful that belonged to his bone marrow. "If the empress is really worried, at worst, she will send them far away, and she will be fine if she is not an official in the central court!"

This means to let myself find a corner and throw the Donglin party as garbage.

Well, just because the group of Donglin Party can only talk and talk, they are idealists, and they are local officials. She is afraid that they will make a mess of the local governance, so in order to avoid being said that they are too murderous, they will Keep the remnants of the Donglin Party under your eyelids.However, in order to eliminate hidden dangers, it is still necessary to send capable factory guard female spies to sneak into their inner houses and backyards and closely monitor them.

Having made up her mind, Yang Lingyue stopped putting on that cold face, and even her tone softened a lot.Yang Lingyue said this: "Now the imperial court is troubled by internal and external troubles, let alone the drought and flood every year, those Tartars of the later Jin Dynasty..."

Yang Lingyue picked her nails, changed the subject, and asked casually, "Has there been a secret report from Liaodong recently?"

Wei Zhongxian replied with a smile: "Before your Majesty ascended the throne, there was a message from Liaodong that after the great victory of Ningjin, after the soldiers of the Houjin Tartars returned to Shengjing with their halberds, there was news that the head of the Houjin Tartars (referring to Huang Taiji) Then prepare to continue to conquer the various tribes of Mongolia..."

Hearing what Wei Zhongxian said, Yang Lingyue remembered the historical records. In February of this year, Huang Taiji led two younger brothers, Dorgon and Duoduo, to conquer the Dorot tribe that Chahar belonged to, and entered the Ao Mulun place.It is said that this battle was a great victory, and 200 people were taken as prisoners.

In August, the Houjin government discussed making peace with Karaqin.

In September, soldiers from Horqin, Harqin, Aohan, Naiman and Khalkha were sent to meet.

On September [-], the Hou Jin army set off to Chahar.On the [-]th, they attacked Xierha, Xibotu, Ying, Tang, etc., and all went down.The next day they chased them to Xing'an Mountains, where they captured countless people and animals.Returned victorious in mid-October.

It can be said that in the first year of Tianlin's accession to the throne, Huang Taiji, who was defeated in the battle of Ningjin, was busy beating the Mongols, and had no time to worry about Daming for the time being.That is to say, the Liaodong defenders where Ming Da is located can have enough time and training (she asked Ming Da to fumble to create it based on her rough knowledge about modern special forces).

Yang Lingyue breathed a sigh of relief, so she didn't bother to talk nonsense with Shi Fenglai, who was like a human being, and ordered directly. "Recently, Shi Qing paid close attention to the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials, and asked them to implement the policy of ten taxes and one tax as soon as possible. You must know that today's natural disasters continue, this year the salaries of officials and the salaries of soldiers in various places are all dependent on the industrial and commercial tax. I don’t want a situation where the national treasury was tight during the late emperor’s time, and even disaster relief had to rely on the grain grown in Huangzhuang.”

Regarding Queen Mother Yang's roll call, she pays attention to doing things without seeking merit but without fault. Shi Fenglai, who is commonly known as a good hand in harmony, sighed in his heart. He had a hunch that his mansion would be full of people in the future, and those who intimidated Queen Mother Yang The merchants and wealthy households who made the bloody scene not long ago will definitely come to the door with generous gifts to inquire about the situation.

In this way, in order to successfully carry out the orders issued by the Empress Dowager Yang personally, I must use the Dafa of peace and mud, and only accept generous gifts and do nothing.Thinking of this, Shi Fenglai's heart couldn't help but feel hot even if he didn't value money much because of family factors. Even if he only kept one third of the gifts, the amount is estimated to be quite expensive!

That's right, Shi Fenglai planned to only accept gifts and not do anything.The way to be an official is to be tactful. Throughout the ages, those who stand the highest have always been good at guessing their superiors. Shi Fenglai has no other strengths. He does things in a way that does not seek merit but seeks no faults, and governs by doing nothing. Also, no matter how kind and gentle, Shi Fenglai, who dared not postpone it, had no choice but to try his best to do it when he received an order from his superior who could determine the fate of him and the whole family!

You must know that most of the people who have been able to ascend to the position of chief assistant in the past are capable, but they have less or more ability.Shi Fenglai can be regarded as an average ability in the first assistants of the Ming Dynasty, but he is obedient. He did not follow the instructions of the Empress Dowager Yang. After doing his best, the effect is remarkable. According to the business route of Shanxi merchants, the spies of merchants and merchants traveled in the name of merchants, but in fact they were seeking information on various nomadic peoples outside the customs, among which the Mongolian ministries and the post-Jin regime were the top priorities.

Of course, this point was vaguely reminded by Empress Dowager Yang. After the information explosion, even ordinary people know that commercial espionage is the most pervasive thing in the world.The Hou Jin regime can buy Shanxi merchants, and she can also cultivate commercial espionage.Empress Dowager Yang still doesn't believe it. She has mastered a good hand and will end up like Emperor Chongzhen in history.

Fate is too late, just when Empress Dowager Yang was full of confidence and was about to let go of it, this little bitch from the Little Ice Age came out again to be a demon.When she heard that the sky in Shanxi and Shaanxi was as red as blood, and there had been no rain or dew for many days, Empress Dowager Yang couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.

Yang Lingyue took a look at Zhu Cilin who was bending over the desk and concentrating on practicing calligraphy, and couldn't help but sigh. "Immediately let the governors of Shanxi and Shaanxi open warehouses to release food for disaster relief."

Because of his busy schedule, Shi Shoufu's fat face has been reduced by half, but it is still round, giving people the feeling of Maitreya Buddha.Of course, in Yang Lingyue's eyes, Shi Shoufu was no different from that Fatty Di on TV.

"Your Majesty, according to the officer's report, the grain reserves in Shanxi and Shaanxi are gone."

"No more?" Empress Dowager Yang's eyes widened suddenly, and she said with a hint of coldness: "The Ai family remembers that they killed so many rich families in Shanxi, and they confiscated a lot of food when they ransacked their homes. Millions of tans. Half of these millions of tans of grain were left in Shanxi and Shaanxi, and the other half was escorted back to Beijing. Now it’s only a few months, and you actually told Ai’s family that there is no food in stock. no!"

"Your servant is terrified!" Shi Shoufu wiped the cold sweat off his forehead with his sleeve, and inwardly scolded the officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi for being too greedy. But you can't sell all those hundreds of thousands of dans of grain at once. Are these idiots so sure that they won't suffer disaster or reveal their secrets?

Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about Daming's well-developed factory security intelligence system, Shi Shoufu dared to use him as a guarantee, even if he didn't choose to tell the story today, but took care of the officials in Shanxi and Shaanxi, he couldn't make it through In a few days, the papers about why there was no food and grass for disaster relief in Shanxi and Shaanxi would be placed on the desk of Empress Dowager Yang for official affairs, so Shi Shoufu did not hide anything, and told the reasons in detail.

Different from the angry face before, Yang Lingyue is very calm now, at least her tone is very calm. "Who recommended the governors of Shanxi and Shaanxi?"

"It's Lai Zongdao, Minister of the Household Department." Shi Shoufu replied respectfully: "Lai Ziyou (the character of Lai Zongdao) was a Jinshi during the Jiachen period of Wanli. Scholars."

"Oh, so to say that you can't avoid relatives when you are a virtuous person." Yang Lingyue sneered and said: "The dignified Minister of the Household Department actually started the work of the Ministry of Officials. Could it be that there is no one in the Ministry of Officials!"

Yang Lingyue's words were extremely cruel, at least in Shi Shoufu's opinion.Shi Shoufu guessed that Lai Zongdao might not be able to please him this time, and he didn't bother to intercede with him, so he only said a few words, "The empress dowager, please calm down", and then turned around and asked:

"According to my mother's opinion, what should I do..."

Yang Lingyue, who had a violent temper, originally wanted to imitate her husband who died early by throwing a pile of broken porcelain on Shi Shoufu, but considering that Zhu Cilin was still there, she dismissed the idea and instead asked mockingly: "Whether you are the chief assistant or the Ai family is the chief assistant, you have to ask the Ai family how to deal with this kind of thing, what use does the Ai family and the emperor want you for!"
