Well, Mrs. Yang made such a trip afterwards to test the reaction of the two sisters.If the two sisters have doubts about the death of Huang Taiji and ask how Huang Taiji died, it is impossible to say that Queen Mother Yang will leave the little conscience left and let the two sisters "die of illness". In her eyes, apart from the relatives she identified and Daming Jiangshan, there was nothing else at all...

Fortunately, the two sisters of Makata were young when they were robbed, and they had little contact with Huang Taiji, so they respected Huang Taiji more...

Trapped in the "enemy camp" when he was young, he was abandoned by his respected father Khan. The only thing the elder Makata thought was to lead his sister to live well.The hatred of the country and the family is something that she can't understand and doesn't want to understand at the moment...

Moreover, the nomads are still in slavery. When Ha Chi was young, when he galloped across the grasslands and integrated the Eight Banners of Manchuria, he also used the defeated party and the remaining people as servants. Didn’t the defeated party also have no desire to resist, so Makata, who was deeply influenced and taught by this, has no hatred at all, she is just dazed and sad, but it is precisely this that makes Queen Mother Yang, who is becoming more and more cunning and more and more like a fine fox, very satisfied.

After Empress Dowager Yang left Chuxiu Palace, she went directly back to Qianqing Palace.At this time, Zhu Cilin was still sitting firmly at the desk, studying how to collect commercial tax from the private brothel Chuguan. After seeing Queen Mother Yang came back, Zhu Cilin raised his lips and smiled brightly at Queen Mother Yang.

"Queen, are the two Tartar princesses angry or sad..."

Empress Dowager Yang paused, glanced secretly at Empress Zhu Cilin who seemed to be very happy, then lifted the sky blue phoenix-tailed skirt on her lower body, and sat down gracefully beside her.

"Are you gloating?" Empress Dowager Yang pursed her lips and said in a flat tone, "Is that why you don't want Makata and Rita to stay in the palace?"

Zhu Cilin moved his body uncomfortably, a serious expression appeared on his little face. "My son didn't think so!"

Empress Dowager Yang raised her eyebrows, and looked at Zhu Cilin with a smile: "Nothing is the best. It's just two little girls who have traveled thousands of miles away from home. Why are you so fussy and brooding? We're not short of food! "

"Why is there no shortage of two meals? What is Jieyu? She is No. 1 under four concubines and nine concubines. The annual salary is a full 200 taels of silver..."

"Don't count these petty profits for the Ai family." Empress Dowager Yang simply and directly interrupted Zhu Cilin's chattering temper whenever money was mentioned, and snorted angrily.

"These are the things you should calculate as the king of a country! Not to mention other things, your two sisters alone can get hundreds of taels of silver every month, let alone Aijia..."

"Mother, you are different from your sisters. You are willing to raise your children, but they..."

"Emperor..." Empress Dowager Yang interrupted Zhu Cilin again, speaking earnestly. "Aijia and your two elder sisters are your responsibility. After you get married, the whole world is also your responsibility. As the king of a country, you have an obligation to let them live a good life.

As for the two sisters, Makata and Rita, Ai Jia admits that they are only pretty, not beauties.But from the day they lived in the Forbidden City, their fate was decided.

Aijia doesn't ask you to really like the two of you, as long as you can save face.Similarly, the one from the Korean clan

The two sisters, Li Zhenxi and Li Enxi, Aijia doesn't ask you to really like them, as long as you can live with face. "Speaking, Empress Dowager Yang saw that Zhu Cilin was looking at her with half understanding, apparently not understanding what she said, so she could not help but smile.

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, when you grow up, you will understand. By the way, Sichang, why haven't I seen him for several days?"

"My mother forgot, Sichang has returned to Penglai, and it will take about half a month before he returns to Beijing."

"Look at Ai's memory."

Empress Dowager Yang patted her forehead, and when she was about to continue chatting with Zhu Cilin, Wang Tiqian suddenly entered the hall and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Master Shi begs to see you."

"Xuan!"

Shi Shoufu entered the hall with a thick pile of papers.Whether it's the Empress Dowager Yang or the little emperor Zhu Cilin, seeing Shi Shoufu like this, he has some understanding in his heart.

"But the disaster situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi has changed again!" Queen Mother Yang asked solemnly.

"My Majesty, Your Majesty, the disaster situation in Shaanxi and Shanxi has indeed changed!" Shi Shoufu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said tremblingly.

Empress Dowager Yang took the notebook calmly, and flipped through it. The more she looked at it, the uglier her face became. At the end, Empress Dowager Yang simply passed the notebook to Zhu Cilin, asking in a not-so-friendly tone.

"How did the plague suddenly appear, and on such a large scale, and it has a tendency to spread like surrounding counties?"

"Returning to my lord, according to reports from the governors of the two places, there was a sudden heavy rain a few days ago. Due to insufficient manpower, the government could only take care of the porridge sheds set up in various villages. , spread, to the point where it is now!"

"I'm afraid it's more than that!"

Empress Dowager Yang is already intelligent, has the knowledge of later generations, and has been in charge of the government for so many years, so she doesn't understand the twists and turns.It is true to say that the number of people is not enough to estimate, but it is also true to be negligent in preventing...

Empress Dowager Yang believed that the governors of Shanxi and Shaanxi would not dare to falsify in helping the victims, but in other aspects, such as cooking soup and medicine for the victims, preventing and curing diseases, cleaning and sanitation, and so on. Little or nothing is done.

This is also her fault, it's just that there are a few few instructions, and the group of wine bags and rice bags under him are too lazy to think about it!Empress Dowager Yang laughed mockingly, with contempt and more powerlessness...

This is the bureaucratic system of Ming Dynasty. Obedience is obedience, but the problem is that the thinking is really too rigid!

"The Ai family doesn't want to pursue other things. Now the Ai family just wants to know how to deal with the follow-up. Don't tell the Ai family. After the governors of Shaanxi and Shanxi have written the papers, they just stand there dryly, waiting for the central court to issue decree!"

Empress Dowager Yang spoke the truth, she was too lazy to go into conspiracy theories, too lazy to guess whether the outbreak of the plague was caused by negligence, or the result of some people's deliberate indulgence for greater credit.For Empress Dowager Yang, the most important thing at present is the process.

She just wanted to know how the governors of Shaanxi and Shanxi dealt with the plague, whether they were worthy of their court uniforms and took the initiative, or waited anxiously for the central court to come up with a solution.

For the former, Empress Dowager Yang will be very pleased, but for the latter, Empress Dowager Yang will be very angry. Maybe the governors of Shaanxi and Shanxi will go to Caishikou for a visit, and they will make their families, regardless of age, collectively. Moved to Jiaofangsi to live.

Fortunately, the governors of Shaanxi and Shanxi still have a bit of conscience. Although they usually accepted a lot of bribes because of the unspoken rules of the officialdom and neglected their duties a little bit, after the plague broke out on a large scale, the governors of the two places wrote a letter to report the matter, and at the same time Resolutely search for doctors in the two places, let the doctors treat the people infected with the plague for free, and prescribe preventive and plague medicines, let the servants cook soup, and let those who have not been infected with the plague take it for free!

After hearing what Shi Shoufu said, Empress Dowager Yang was relieved, and she inevitably put aside the conspiracy theory she had thought before.It's good to be able to take the initiative to do things, even if you are a little bit greedy, as long as you don't be greedy for taxes, but collect filial money from business gentry, Empress Dowager Yang also recognizes it.

"Since the governors of the two places have started the work of treating and preventing the plague, the Ai family can rest assured." Empress Dowager Yang looked at the little emperor Zhu Cilin, and the little emperor Zhu Cilin understood, and hurriedly said.

"What the queen mother said is what I want to say, but if I want to say a few more words, the treatment alone may not be enough, and we must pay attention to hygiene."

Zhu Cilin clasped his hands behind his back and talked eloquently: "The victims of the plague were burned and buried on the spot, and then sterilized with spirits, boiled water to boil clothes and supplies, and undrinkable raw water is not allowed... Shi Aiqing, write these down carefully, and tell Shaanxi, The governor of Shanxi. I believe that after treatment and sanitation are combined, the plague will be brought under control soon and disappear."

Shi Shoufu opened his mouth, but looked at Empress Dowager Yang.Empress Dowager Yang narrowed her eyes and smiled, showing no objection.Shi Shoufu, who understood Empress Dowager Yang's attitude in his heart, decisively cupped his hands and said to Zhu Cilin.

"Your Majesty, I understand."

"Well, even if you know, then you can retire!"

Zhu Cixi dismissed Shi Shoufu lightly and skillfully.After Shi Feng retreated, Empress Dowager Yang looked at Zhu Cilin and said so seriously.

"The emperor has really grown up, the Ai family is very pleased with what he said today!"

Zhu Cilin touched her head in embarrassment, and said with a shy smile. "Xu Qing told me this."

When Empress Dowager Yang heard Zhu Cilin mention Xu Guangqi, she remembered something, so she couldn't help saying. "Xu Qing is ill and has not been in court for many days. If the emperor is free, he will go out of the palace to visit Xu Qing in the Xu residence. After all, Xu Qing is not only an important minister, but also one of the emperor's tutors."

"My son knows, my son is going out of the palace to visit Xu Qing." Because of going out of the palace, Zhu Cilin did not show the slightest worry about the health of Xu Guangqi, one of the emperor's teachers, but was a little excited and in a good mood the way. "I'm going to trouble my mother to work hard to review this pile of memorials alone."

"Don't say such cute things." Empress Dowager Yang scolded Zhu Cilin with a smile, and then instructed. "Remember to go early and return early!"
