These years of being the queen mother!

Sure enough, after all the cabinet members had read the memorial about Zengtian Fu presented by Bi Ziyan, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Empress Dowager Yang hooked her lips and said with a smile like a flower: "Bi Aiqing is really concerned about the country and the people. The treasury is getting more and more full. On the contrary, they said that they asked for an increase in tariffs and donations of public funds due to the high cost. What’s more interesting, after Bi Aiqing submitted the paper, Liang Qing (Liang Tingdong), the Minister of the Ministry of War, also followed up with the paper, saying that the food for the soldiers was not enough. The reason why the people are poor is all because of official corruption. After the officials are corrupted, the people will agree to the distribution of land taxes."

Empress Dowager Yang threw out the two memorials, which happened to hit Lai Zongdao who thought Bi Ziyan was right. "The Ai family withheld the discount. They wanted Bi Qing and Liang Qing to clear their minds, but they never thought that after a few days of deducting the discount, Bi Qing wrote a letter asking for an increase of [-]% per mu. Tsk tsk, the Ai family really I didn't realize that Bi Qing is still a pillar of talent who cares about the country and the people, do you think she is Shi Aiqing!"

Bi Ziyan, you idiot.This old man shouldn't have seconded you as Minister of the Household Department!

Shi Shoufu cursed secretly in his heart, but he had no choice but to agree with it with a bitter face: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true. I think so too."

this old fox...

Empress Dowager Yang sneered, but she didn't hold on to it, but reiterated: "The Ai family said that it is possible to increase taxes, but only business taxes, and agricultural taxes are absolutely unfeasible."

The cabinet members present were not afraid of anything else, but they were afraid that Empress Dowager Yang would make an example of others, divert the cannon from Bi fool and point it at them, so they all dared not speak up...

Seeing them acting like this, Empress Dowager Yang didn't bother to talk about them anymore, so as not to spoil her mood.Therefore, he took it lightly, and only ordered to reprimand Bi Ziyan and Liang Tingdong, ordering them to shut themselves up and reflect for three months, and they did not dismiss them as ministers.

After the tax increase became a serious issue, Empress Dowager Yang was busy clarifying the matter of private collection and private faction.But when Empress Dowager Yang was exhausted and busy, a strange whirlwind suddenly blew up in the capital.Of course, this does not refer to natural disasters, but refers to the countermeasures planned by Houjin finally came...

On the first day of June in the third year of Taichang, the censor wrote in succession: Wei Xing, governor of Jiliao, had a secret agreement with Houjin tartars in private, so he did not continue to attack the Ningjin defense line, but detoured from the Mongolian desert and attacked Longjing Pass and other Great Wall passes...

After receiving the ironic memorial, Empress Dowager Yang slammed it on the face of the imperial censor who wrote the memorial, turned on the mocking mode, and said mercilessly.

"Are you stupid in studying, or are you stupid? If Wei Qing really had a secret agreement with the Tartars, he should pretend that he didn't know that the Tartar soldiers would attack from the Longjing Pass and other Great Wall passes, and let the Tartars capture Zunhua until the end of the war." It’s right to force the capital. The truth that normal people can understand has a different meaning when it comes out of your mouth. The Ai family should ask carefully if you are from the Han family.”

It can be said that Empress Dowager Yang smiled sweetly, but what she said was so poisonous that it couldn't be more poisonous.Although the Empress Dowager Yang did not publicly say that the censors of Mingda and collaborating with the enemy had defected to the Houjin Tartars, all the civil and military ministers present understood that the Queen Mother Yang just said that the censors of Mingda and collaborating with the enemy were all traitors !

This kind of thing should not be contaminated, once it is contaminated, not only will the reputation be bad, it will also harm the descendants, and it will be infamous for thousands of years. Therefore, there is a scene that makes the censors feel desperate, whether it is usually good friends with them or their relationship The bad ones didn't speak up, not only didn't they stand up and say good things, they didn't even add insult to injury...

At this moment, all the ministers of civil and military affairs standing in the Jinluan Hall seemed to have become dumb, and they all stood outside, watching the Empress Dowager Yang with a murderous smile, and mercilessly sent all the impeachment participants to Zhao Prison... …

As for Wei Xing, Mingda, who was involved in the counter-intrigue, his official fortune was prosperous. Not only did he not suffer from the emperor's suspicion, suspicion, and even lose his life, as the post-Gold Tartars thought, but on the contrary, he was further controlled. The entire territory of Liaodong...

You must know that although Mingda has a honest personality, he is only facing relatives he recognizes. In front of outsiders, he always looks like a tiger.Just like now, when he learned through special channels that Emperor Taiji of the Tartars adopted Fan Wenchen's proposal to carry out countermeasures, and that he was the number one target, he also smiled very brightly.

"Sister Wan, do you think this Tatar chieftain and his dog slaves are stupid, dare to come up with such a crude scheme, is it true that there are no smart people in the court who can't see it!"

"Brother Ming, could it be that he has forgotten why his father was imprisoned back then? Didn't he also come from the imperial court and the Tartars to conspire to frame him?" road. "Although the strategy is cheap, it can be used if it can be used. In fact, if the target is not you, but someone else, how can you know that things will not turn out as the Tartar chief wants!"

"It's a pity that the target is me. The Tartar chief is destined to be disappointed!" According to his sister's extremely protective personality, even if he really committed adultery with foreign invaders, no matter how disappointed her sister was, she would not kill him. Wings, let him lose all authority, and save his life to become a rich man.

Mingda smiled, but said. "Of course the target is not me, but someone else. My sister will not believe such a crude and shallow scheme!"

"Your Majesty is naturally a broad-minded person. I just heard that the capital's blood flowed like a river. Within a day, no less than a hundred adults were stripped of their heads and put on black hats, and sent to Zhao Prison...Will such a big move let the Tartars take advantage of it? !"

Mingda waved his hand, showing a simple and honest smile, but said cunningly like a little fox. "The reason for the big fanfare is to show the post-Golden Tatar chief and the peace faction, let the two, especially the latter, carefully weigh it, don't risk the lives of the whole family just for a little money, of course if they themselves It's another matter to think that you can avoid the all-pervasive factory guards!"

"How can ordinary people avoid the factory guards!" Xiong Wanyou sighed, but said: "The countermeasure failed, and there was no news from the Tar chieftain. My concubine suspects the Tar chief, or the traitor. Fan Wenchen is holding back a bigger move... Husband, do you think the Tartar chieftain will attack Ningjin again."

"The Tatar Chief has always been jealous of me, Daming, and will definitely attack the border again. It's just that it won't be this year, but the next year. By the way, if Sister Wan is free, she will take Ning'er to Beijing, and come to congratulate the empress. Second, let Ning'er meet her aunt and recognize her great-grandfather!"

"I know."

As this conversation passed, the anti-scheming carried out by the Tartars came to an end. When the New Year was approaching, Xiong Wanyou took her little daughter Wei Ning and rushed all the way to the capital from the bitter cold of Liaodong to congratulate her. Empress Dowager Yang's Qianqiu Festival.

Empress Dowager Yang's birthday is the third day of the first lunar month. Every time at this time, Empress Dowager Yang would personally light a small lamp and put it in the lake to commemorate her dead youth.This year is no exception.

After Empress Dowager Yang put a small lamp on the quiet lakeside of Yinghu Lake, she stood for a while, and then led Xiong Wanyou, who was dressed in Yipin Haoming, and the two of them walked slowly in the imperial garden together. As for Wei Ning, who was only three years old, , led by Zhu Shuxie and Zhu Shuxie, nestled in the warm pavilion in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace, and Xieyu played in a row!

"The bitter cold in Eastern Liaodong has caused you and Brother Ming to suffer." Empress Dowager Yang said with a warm tone and a warm smile, "Did you ever go to the Wei Mansion to visit Duke Wei when you came to Beijing this time?"

"I'm gone, it's just Mrs. Fengsheng..." Xiong Wanyou's face flashed a bit dignified, and she lowered her voice and said to Empress Dowager Yang: "It seems that you are not feeling well. Wei Gong said that Mrs. Fengsheng has been ill for many days. Time is running out."

Years ago, Empress Dowager Yang also went out of the palace to visit Wei Zhongxian and Ke Baba at the Wei Mansion. At that time, Ke Baba had a red face and showed no sign of illness at all. Why now...

Empress Dowager Yang's eyes flashed, but she didn't pay much attention to it, because with Wei Zhongxian around, no matter whether Ke Baba was really sick or not, she would not live for long, and Empress Dowager Yang didn't bother to worry about that leisurely time, go Mind the couple's business.

Empress Dowager Yang laughed, and instead of asking Xiong Wanyou about it, she turned to tell Xiong Wanyou some things that were very important to Mingda.Xiong Wanyou wrote them down carefully, and at the end Empress Dowager Yang said with a smile:

"Sun Yuanhua studied under Xu Aiqing (Xu Guangqi), who is considered to be a rare artillery expert in the world. You can let Brother Ming make good use of him when you go to Liaodong. As for the cost of consumption, all the expenses will be drawn from the private treasury of the palace, not the treasury. "

That is to say, there is no clear path...

Xiong Wanyou smiled knowingly, and replied seriously: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will pass on everything to my husband."

"You don't have to be too nervous, just treat it with a normal heart." Empress Dowager Yang looked at the sky and found that the willows were already on the moon, so she proposed to go back to Qianqing Palace.Naturally, Xiong Wanyou had no objection, so she returned to Qianqing Palace with Empress Dowager Yang, had a sumptuous dinner together, and then was led back to Chuxiu Palace, where Empress Dowager Yang specially allocated for her to live, led by several palace attendants.

A night without dreams.Xiong Wanyou, who has been a little cautious in her words and deeds since she moved into the Chuxiu Palace as a courtier's wife, got up early, changed the Yipinhaoming clothes she wore to the banquet last night, and put on the plain and elegant palace clothes, light and elegant. After applying blush, I went to Qianqing Palace to wait...

"Let me tell you, you just treat this place as your natal family, don't be so cautious, why did you come early again, Ai's family is not short of your service." Empress Dowager Yang sincerely treats Xiong Wanyou as her family, so she went straight to her I said a few words to Xiong Wanyou.

Xiong Wanyou was originally a hearty and generous master, when she heard that Empress Dowager Yang was a little unhappy, she joked with a smile. "When I was in Liaodong, the concubine was inspired by this. Letting the concubine sleep more made the concubine feel uncomfortable. Madam, you will not be able to live a good life as a concubine."

"Come on, the Ai family doesn't dare to say more, lest brother Ming feel bad!" Empress Dowager Yang, who was also dressed in plain and elegant, but much more gorgeous palace clothes, smiled and said. "We got up early, the emperor and two lazy girls are sleeping!"

"The two eldest princesses are lazy girls. How lazy is that concubine's Ning'er? That girl, relying on her father pampering and protecting her, would only wake up after three poles of the day. If she continues to be so lazy, I'm really afraid." Her future husband's family hates her!"

"Who dares to despise the empress of Princess Daming!"

Empress Dowager Yang's abrupt words made Xiong Wanyou's eyes widen in astonishment, and she looked at Empress Dowager Yang in surprise.

"Ma'am, this..."

"Ning'er is my niece, she should be princess." Empress Dowager Yang patted Xiong Wanyou's hand and said Xun Xun. "The Ai family knows that whether Daming is a princess or a princess, their husbands are not very good. You can rest assured about this. If the Ai family has no other advantages, just protect your shortcomings. People can bully them, and if Changping, Zhaoren, and Ning'er's future husbands have real talents, the Ai family and the emperor will also use them boldly! So Wanyou, if you believe in Ai's family, let Ai's family seal Ning'er A princess!"

"Why doesn't the concubine believe in the empress? If it wasn't for the empress, maybe my father would have died a long time ago, and the concubine's family fell apart, so how could I have a good life to marry my husband!" After all, Xiong Wanyou is a grand master. The queen mother really wanted to give Wei Ning the title of Princess Changning, so she didn't shirk again and again, but accepted the title of Princess Changning generously for her daughter!
