These years of being the queen mother!

Time flies, and it is another spring in a blink of an eye.

As soon as the spring began in the sixth year of Taichang, news of Huang Taiji's death came from Liaodong.Because of this good news, even though Taichang was affected by the Little Ice Age in the past six years, there were still severe droughts in the north and floods in the south, Empress Dowager Yang did not feel much distress.

Anyway, I'm used to it, and at worst it's like this. It's because of the appearance of gold's defeat after singing, and at the same time, I'm familiar with the way and order to open up the treasury and give relief to the people.

"Emperor, let's review the papers here for the time being, and continue with the rest tomorrow."

When Empress Dowager Yang spoke, the sun had already set, so Zhu Cilin simply threw away the vermilion pen, and while rubbing his sore wrist, he seemed to complain about the real person's acting like a baby.

"Mother, these guys really need to clean up. Every time I submit a booklet, I write [-]% of the exaggerated and useless articles. There are only a few words that are really meaningful and tell the actual situation! Mother, do you want to write down the papers?" The decree is that when the local governments write notes, don't write redundant nonsense, try to be as concise as possible!"

"Well, good idea."

The reason why Empress Dowager Yang didn't say that was because Zhu Cilin could think it out and bring it up on her own. Although she said everything was strong and had a strong style, she also had a loving mother's heart, and she didn't want her only son to live under her own oppression and become Timid, cowardly, unable to be the responsibility of the king of a country...

It is true that by doing so, when Zhu Cilin grows up and has her own thoughts, she will inevitably have conflicts with her, but so what, she cannot hold power in her hands for a lifetime and control this country all the time.

In order to maintain this mother-child relationship and let Zhu Cilin understand that it is not easy for her to be a mother, since Zhu Cilin was able to read and write proficiently, Empress Dowager Yang took Zhu Cilin to review the memorials and teach everything.

It is true that by doing so, the two daughters are unavoidably neglected, but after all, whether it is Zhu Shuxie or Zhu Shuyi, they are all sensible, and they will not be jealous or caring about it. Instead, they have done what a good sister should do, always encouraging Zhu Cilin, Let him be a good emperor, so that he can live up to the expectations of Empress Dowager Yang.

Empress Dowager Yang is a strong woman, but also a smart woman.She thought in her heart that Zhu Cilin would return to power when he got married, so she told Zhu Cilin directly, and said that she would grow old too, and it was impossible to keep him out of the wind and rain all the time, so for Zhu Cilin's benefit, she trained in advance how to do one A good emperor is essential.

Fortunately, apart from loving money a little bit, Zhu Cilin is not as left-handed as the old Zhu family. Zhu Cilin, who clearly knows his position, still understands the truth.Although the reviewing of the memorials still took three days of fishing and two days of drying the net, it seemed to be the same, at least the current Zhu Cilin could sit quietly at the desk and review the one-day memorials quietly.

"Then what's the excuse!" Zhu Cilin rolled his eyeballs and said strangely. "How about using the cumbersome font and making my eyes hurt from reading it as an excuse?"

Hearing this, Queen Mother Yang couldn't help but smile. "That's how it is done. Aijia can wait to see the expressions of the officials, it will be very accurate!"

Speaking of which, both mother and son are equally cramped, and both are waiting to see the reactions of the officials.To the disappointment of the mother and son, the officials had no objection to this, and it would save them trouble if the notes were written in a simpler way.At least you don't need to spend a lot of time and rack your brains to figure out how to write the excerpts gorgeously, like poetry.

But it would be naive to think that officials save time and spend it all on politics.Of course, there are still good officials who are honest and honest, but the problem is that the current situation in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is that many officials would rather spend their time holding opera actors and prostitutes than leaving extra time to deal with political affairs, so the little emperor Zhu Cilin issued a "book" Try to write as concisely as possible', the political affairs are still procrastinated, but according to the report of the factory guards, the business of brothels and Chu houses in various places is really good, and the income has more than tripled...

"Empress mother, son-in-law strongly recommend that the private brothel Chu Guan be banned and all of them be state-owned!"

After seeing the factory guard's report, Zhu Cilin's reaction was, what the hell, it's a lot of money.The second reaction is that the money does not belong to me, no, all of them will be banned, and I will open a brothel instead...

In fact, there were still official brothels in the Ming Dynasty, and that was Jiaofangsi.The famous prostitutes in the Qinhuai Bayan in the late Ming Dynasty, such as Dong Xiaowan, Li Xiangjun, Gu Hengbo, Bian Yujun, Chen Yuanyuan and others, were all from Jiaofangsi.And the reason why they ended up in Jiaofang Division was because their clan members, or their father and brother committed crimes.We must know that whether it is history or this Ming Dynasty that has been successfully turned into a sham, there are many officials who committed crimes, ransacked their homes and exiled, and their wives and daughters filled the Jiaofang Division. Therefore, Zhu Cilin's suggestion can only make Queen Mother Yang angry Funny again.

"Emperor, have you got into money? Let's not talk about the nature of the Jiaofang Division. Even if the Jiaofang Division only cultivates actors who sing operas and listen to music, it is impossible for Aijia to let you take the risk of being sprayed to death by scholars all over the world. A private brothel Chu Guan."

"Then..." Zhu Cilin, who was still a little unwilling, blinked and suggested unwillingly. "That's not banned, can it be taxed?"

Baa you big, baa!

Empress Dowager Yang twitched fiercely between her brows. "Tax collection, hehe, what should I say about the name of the tax? Prostitution tax?"

Zhu Cilin nodded heavily: "That's right, why don't prostitution tax be charged for prostitution? Could it be a commercial tax... Hey, wait a minute, open brothels and Chu houses for people to prostitute! Music is a commercial activity, so the commercial tax is also feasible Yes. Well, my son will announce tomorrow that brothels and Chu halls will also have to pay commercial tax, if you don’t pay, wait for it to be seized!"

Empress Dowager Yang knew that in the island countries of later generations, pornographic culture accounted for a large proportion, and it was supported by the government. The reason was that it made a lot of money.

At first, Empress Dowager Yang only thought that brothels and Chu halls, like restaurants and teahouses, were places where the world's news circulated, but she just tightened the grip on the Jiaofang Secretary and trained a large number of beautiful spies, but she never thought about relying on this generate revenue for the treasury,

Now that Empress Dowager Yang heard that Zhu Cilin, who loved money so much, wanted to collect the "commercial tax" from brothels and Chuguan to make money, on the one hand she was surprised by Zhu Cilin's mind, but on the other hand she lamented that her son was really hopeless...

Love money to such an extent, it is simply unprecedented...

Forget it, Zhu Cilin is nine years old, and ten years old, and he is considered a half-grown boy, so let him make troubles.Anyway, according to how much Zhu Cilin loves money, he will definitely handle the matter of "collecting brothels and Chuguan taxes" very well, so Empress Dowager Yang, who was too lazy to care about Zhu Cilin's messing around like this, rolled her eyes and decisively opening of:

"Emperor, what do you want to do, just do it, the Ai family will not object, and will not help you." After finishing speaking, Empress Dowager Yang tidied up her skirt and skirt, and decisively left the Palace of Heavenly Purity and went to the palace. Chuxiu Palace left.

Chuxiu Palace, located in the east of Xianfu Palace and north of Yikun Palace, was originally the residence of the ladies who passed the primary selection during the general selection of ladies from all over the world.It's just that the little emperor Zhu Cilin is still young, and the draft has been suspended for many years, so after Makata and Rita were captured and sent to the capital, Chuxiu Palace became the residence of the two sisters.Then after North Korea was broken, the pair of twin sisters surnamed Li who, in order to appease the Korean clan, Queen Mother Yang made the decision to accept the little emperor Zhu Cixiong, also stayed in the Chuxiu Palace.

Chuxiu Palace is regarded as the most beautiful palace among the six east and west palaces in the Forbidden City.Dougong and Liangfang under the eaves are decorated with Su-style colored paintings.The main hall is five rooms wide, and there are no people in it.The east and west supporting halls are respectively Yanghe Hall and Xufu Hall, which are three rooms wide and unoccupied.Lijingxuan in the back hall is five rooms wide, and the east and west rooms are Fengguang Room and Yilan Pavilion.The Fengguang Room is the residence of two sisters, Makata and Rita, while the Yilan Pavilion is the residence of the twin sisters surnamed Li!

When Empress Dowager Yang arrived, the four of them stayed in the main hall, talking with Zhu Shuxie and Zhu Shuxie who came here to visit.Together with Empress Dowager Yang, the six little girls immediately stopped talking, and at the same time said in a crisp greeting: "My son/concubine, to the mother/empress mother."

Gong'e, who was waiting on the side, quickly moved a stool for Queen Mother Yang.

"Okay, don't be so polite." Queen Mother Yang smiled, and after taking a seat on the stool, she turned to Makata, who was more than half smaller than when she first came.

"You've lost a lot of weight, but you're still sad about your father's death!"

Makata nodded, without hiding anything, and asked straightforwardly: "Empress Dowager, can I ask, who will inherit the position of Khan after the death of Father Khan!"

Now not only Makata but also Rita can speak Chinese very well, and the two sisters have also learned the rules very well.And because the Tartars are still in slavery, all the nobles of the Eight Banners must call the Great Khan their master, so Makata does not contradict the self-proclaimed concubine...

And because their biological father, Huang Taiji, would rather not have these two daughters than spend gold and silver to redeem them, but instead announced to the world that they are princesses who have a good relationship with Daming and the two countries, so no matter how much they are to their father, Khan Whether it's Rita or Makata in my impression, they don't have much father-daughter affection for Huang Taiji.It's just that Huang Taiji is their biological father after all. Hearing his passing away suddenly, Makata's heart is still very uncomfortable, as if he can't breathe!

"The one who inherits the position of Great Khan," Queen Mother Yang didn't mean to hide it, so she paused and said immediately. "It's Huang Taiji's fourteenth younger brother, Prince Rui Dorgon!"

"Uncle Fourteen." Makata's eyes widened in astonishment, and he couldn't believe what he heard.Even if Brother Hauge died in battle, the fourth brother Ye Bushu and the fifth brother Shuo Sai would still be there. How could it be Dorgon's turn to be the father Khan's younger brother...

Why not!

The two younger brothers are so young, and their mother is just a side concubine and a concubine, how could they possibly win against Dorgon who controls the Zhengbai Banner, Xiangbai Banner, and is also the prince.So she really shouldn't be surprised that the successor is Dorgon...

I hope that Fourteenth Uncle will not kill Ye Busu and Shuo Sai ruthlessly without getting rid of the future troubles.

Makata burst into tears suddenly.For her father, who died young, and for her and her sister who were destined to never return to the desert or Shengjing in this lifetime.

She and her younger sister will live well, not for other reasons, but because she has a hunch that maybe in the future, if she wants to keep Ai Xinjueluo's lineage (referring to Huang Taiji's lineage), it depends on her and younger sister!

Empress Dowager Yang glanced at Makata, who was weeping silently. Although the two had different positions, Empress Dowager Yang, who still had a little conscience, still felt pity for this bright-minded girl, so she showed her self-discipline and obedient performance. The queen mother thought she couldn't bear that heart and killed her and Rita, who was timid and like a little shadow, under the pretext of 'died of illness'!

Anyway, it's not bad for two bites, so let's keep it like this!

Empress Dowager Yang sighed, but it was Gong'e who invited Chuxiu Palace to order. "Tomorrow I'll go to the House of Internal Affairs to get some plain satin. Although you can't wear linen and filial piety in the deep palace, after all, the father of the two of you has died, so it's not easy to wear red and green. It's always right to dress plainly." Of course, if the two of you want to copy Buddhist scriptures as a sacrifice to the spirit of your father Khan, Aijia will not object."

"Thank you Empress Dowager for your kindness, my concubine and younger sister would like to thank you!"

Macarta pulled Rita, who was still there dumbfounded, and suddenly knelt down and gave a heavy salute to Empress Dowager Yang. Empress Dowager Yang raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say anything, but just said, "I won't bother you." "Little Girls Gathering" and drifted away, as if she came here just to find out the reaction of the two little girls to Huang Taiji's death and Dorgon's succession to the throne.
