These years of being the queen mother!

"Elder sister doesn't understand these things very well. My younger sister has the sole discretion to deal with them. But, the emperor..." Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned, and said in distress, "I'm afraid I'm going to lose my temper again."

"Someday that brat won't lose his temper." Empress Dowager Yang said with a chuckle, comforting Ci'an. "Don't worry about it, it will be fine in a few days. He is thinking that you love him, so he puts on the look of being greatly wronged in front of you."

To put it bluntly, this is a political contest, not romantic.The reason why Zhu Cilin was upset was because the two Tartar princesses were really average in appearance.Zhu Cilin grew up in the court, and was used to seeing color since he was a child, and his aunt, birth mother, and other aunts were all good-colored, so how could he like the average-looking Tazi princess with a little plateau red.Speaking of it, he put on a reluctant look in front of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, just to show off his cuteness to the Empress Dowager Ci'an.After a few days, it will be a foregone conclusion, and Zhu Cilin will definitely not deliberately make small temper again.

Speaking of which, the relationship between Empress Dowager Yang and Empress Ci'an is also a bit weird.Well, it should be said that it's a bit weird. Since Zhu Youxiao passed away, the two palaces have become more connected.Of course, the Empress Dowager Ci’an likes to be quiet and stays in the inner palace all the year round and doesn’t go out very much, while the Empress Dowager Yang is busy with government affairs. The two palaces have different focuses but get along harmoniously...

And the little emperor Zhu Cilin, who can be regarded as the only one they rely on, loves to follow his two sisters in his spare time, and come to Ciqing Palace to see the Empress Dowager Ci'an together. Maybe it is lonely in the palace and childless, but the Empress Dowager Ci'an really loves her The three sons and daughters of Empress Dowager Yang!

As for who knew Zhu Cilin, it was Empress Dowager Yang, the mother who knew best, and didn't take Zhu Cilin's petty temper to heart.Empress Dowager Yang also knew that Empress Dowager Ci'an would say this because she really loved Zhu Cilin, so she smiled sincerely to comfort Empress Dowager Ci'an not to care.

When the Empress Dowager Ci'an heard that her own mother said so, she didn't continue to express her concern for Zhu Cilin, and talked about another matter instead.

"Yesterday, Princess Xin sent a message saying that King Xin was seriously ill, but she didn't want to ask the imperial doctor to go to the palace for treatment. Princess Xin had no other choice. Seeing that King Xin was getting sicker and sicker, she had to let someone secretly tell the Ai family , Ai’s family asked the imperial hospital to go to see King Xin with a few very skilled doctors. But the strange thing is, when the imperial doctors came back, they said that King Xin was not sick at all..."

not sick?That is pretending to be sick.

Empress Dowager Yang sneered, it wasn't that she looked down on Zhu Youjian, the king of faith, but according to the current situation, even if Zhu Youjian was determined to turn over, it was just a daydream!Therefore, Empress Dowager Yang is usually too lazy to pay attention to Zhu Youjian, the king of faith who was raised in captivity, but she didn't want to hear news about him in the ears of Empress Ci'an... Moreover, it sounds that even this person who has made great efforts in history to promote Zhu Youjian's ascension The Empress Dowager Ci'an began to suspect that there was something wrong with it.

Empress Dowager Yang patted Empress Dowager Ci'an's hand and told her that she would take care of it, so that she didn't have to worry too much, and the most serious thing was to have a healthy life.

Empress Dowager Ci'an also felt relieved to get the assurance from Empress Dowager Yang, and said. "I heard that the beautiful scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and my sister is tired of staying in the palace, so I have the intention to go to the West Lake to play. I never thought that the elf in Bao'er knew about it somehow, and if she mourned for her sister to leave the palace, it would be too late." I want to bring her with me. So my sister asked my sister to come to my sister's place today, and I want to ask my sister if I can let Bao'er go out with my sister. Of course, if Belle can accompany her, my sister will be even happier."

"Bei'er, that lazy girl, I'm afraid she won't move her nest easily." Thinking of Zhu Shumei, who suffers from spring laziness when spring comes, Empress Dowager Yang also has a headache. "As for Bao'er, my sister is willing to take her out of the palace to play together. My sister naturally agrees and is very grateful. After all, my sister also knows that the recent court affairs are really cumbersome and troublesome..."

Empress Dowager Yang wanted Zhu Cilin to deal with it together, the little bastard ran very fast as soon as she heard it, and would rather go to the private treasury to count the silver over and over again, rather than share one or two.Empress Dowager Yang is also a strong and unyielding master, so she can only be patient and straighten out the trivial matters one by one.

When it came to the cumbersome court affairs that made her forehead ache, Empress Dowager Yang was in no mood to continue gossiping with Empress Ci'an in Ciqing Palace.Empress Dowager Yang said goodbye and left, and then went directly to the Jiaotai Hall, carrying the little emperor Zhu Cilin who was instigating Qi Sichang to set a trap for Shi Shoufu, and took him back to Qianqing Palace to deal with government affairs.

"Tianlin, you are the future emperor of Ming Dynasty. You have to learn how to deal with government affairs from your mother. Otherwise, how can your mother rest assured that you will be in charge of the government?"

"My son didn't say he wouldn't learn, Queen Mother." Zhu Cilin circled around Queen Mother Yang with a playful smile, but refused to sit on the round stool.

Seeing his childish appearance, Empress Dowager Yang felt a smile, and couldn't help giving Zhu Cilin a blank look, and scolded with a smile. "Be serious. Shi Shoufu and the cabinet ministers will come over soon. If you let them see you like this, I'm afraid they will say that you are out of temper and don't look like an emperor anymore."

The little emperor Zhu Ciling pursed his lips, but he didn't continue to chat and laugh with Queen Mother Yang. He sat down on the round stool obediently, then imitated Queen Mother Yang's movements, and randomly took a copy of the memorial from the high pile of desks. up.

"Well, this guy's handwriting is quite beautiful."

Just as the little emperor Zhu Ciling finished his pretentious sighs, Shi Shoufu led a group of cabinet members to file in.

"See my emperor is long live, and the empress dowager is thousand years old."

After the minister saluted, the Empress Dowager Yang said, "Give me a seat", swearing that the routine small court meeting officially started.The first to speak was still Shi Fenglai, who was sitting firmly in the position of chief assistant.I saw him with a chubby face and said in a very serious tone.

"A message came from Liaodong that Kong Youde, the rebel general, had fled to Dengzhou. Zhu Mei, the commander-in-chief, led the army to surround Dengzhou and built a wall to trap Kong Youde. According to a letter from Zhu Mei Feige, the wall was surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on the other. It is ten miles long, and reaches the sea from east to west. Zhu Mei's generals are divided into garrisons, vowing to trap the traitor Kong Youde to death!"

Did Kong Youde escape to Dalinghe City to join his new Manchu master?

After the Battle of Wuqiao, Empress Dowager Yang, like Ming Da, believed that Kong Youde must flee to Dalinghe City to join the Manchurian Tartars. Facing Dengzhou's negligent defense, he took down the city of Dengzhou in one fell swoop, and started a tug-of-war with Zhu Mei, the commander-in-chief of Dengzhou!

Although the thief Kong Youde occupied Dengzhou, Queen Mother Yang, who believed in the combat effectiveness of Liaodong soldiers, was only temporary.Even if the traitor Kong Youde had the covert support of the Empress Jin Tartars, I believe he would not be able to last long.The only trouble is that there are also a large number of firearms in Dengzhou City. With the advantage of firearms, Zhu Mei and his subordinates should have nothing to do with Kong Youde in a short time!

We can only resort to a tug-of-war, and slowly consume the traitor Kong Youde.Just like the policy she adopted towards Hou Jin, consume slowly, beat slowly...

Therefore, after Empress Dowager Yang came to power, she did not intend to negotiate peace with Hou Jin, nor did she intend to confront Hou Jin head-on.Her plan has always been to vigorously develop national power and stabilize the government, while slowly playing the war of attrition with Hou Jin...

No matter how brave and fearless the so-called Baqierlang is, they are ethnic minorities, including women and children, with a population of only a few hundred thousand. If a tug-of-war of attrition is adopted, how can they overwhelm the vast land, abundant resources and large population of Ming Dynasty...

Historically, the Houjin harassed the border from time to time, ransacked it, and could make up for the loss, but now the Liaodong side resolutely adopted "strengthening the wall and clearing the wilderness". They all failed to please...

When no money can be collected to cover the consumption of the army, militarism is not a lie. A few more times are enough to bring down a country's finances, and the collapse of a country's finances also means that the country is not far from collapsing on its own up...

Although Huang Taiji is a hero, he can't see through Queen Mother Yang, a war of attrition that summed up some advanced military concepts of later generations. Therefore, under the calculations of the fox-like Queen Mother Yang, the son of the Manchurian Tartars who can fight is doomed year after year Slowly reducing the effective force that can fight, and even if Huang Taiji or his successors can see it, the result is already doomed... The Tartars who rose in Jianzhou are destined to be included in the Ming Dynasty and become part of the Han nationality...

Too far away, let's go back to the topic.Zhu Mei adopted a tug-of-war of attrition against Kong Youde, and Empress Dowager Yang agreed with it.Therefore, after listening to Shi Shoufu's statement, Empress Dowager Yang said very strongly.

"Zhu Qing has done a good job. The matter of chasing and suppressing the rebels will be given to Zhu Qing. Shi Qing, you have to write an order to tell Zhu Qing that if necessary, kill all the rebels including Kong Youde on the spot. The Ai family will not have that." I asked them why they betrayed Daming and his nation!"

"The minister leads the order."

After Shi Shoufu finished speaking, it was Xu Guangqi's turn again.Comrade Xu didn't mention anything else, he just said, "The Ministry of Industry should increase its efforts to manufacture firearms, instead of handing over most of them to the West Factory!" '

"The Superintendent of the West Factory is in charge of the Shenji Battalion. It is not impossible for the firearms to be completed by the West Factory. But now that the war is tight, relying on the West Factory to manufacture firearms alone is probably a drop in the bucket. The number of firearms produced is not enough for the armies of the Ming Dynasty to divide up. ..., so I think it is best for the Ministry of Industry to send a group of artisans who are proficient in casting artillery to assist the West Factory in casting artillery together to improve efficiency."
