History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"Uncle Fourteen, have you seen it? There is a new newspaper out of Jinling, which lists all the officials we have found to be problematic."

On this day, after dispatching the students who had been trained in Hangzhou to Suzhou to check the accounts, Fourteen became idle.

In a few days, after the last batch of students from Yangzhou are put to use, the speed of checking accounts will be greatly improved.

Shisi even admired himself a little, and asked the students from Jinling to check the accounts of Yangzhou, and the students from Hangzhou to switch with the students from Suzhou, so that they would not be afraid that the local students would protect certain officials.

As soon as he was free, Shisi began to spend time in the house playing with the birds. Unexpectedly, just after taking a break for a sip of tea, Hong Sheng rushed in with a newspaper.

After hearing what he said, Shisi put the tea bowl aside and stretched out his hand, "Bring it!"

Hong Sheng handed him the newspaper.

Fourteen glanced at him before opening the newspaper.

After seeing what was reported in the newspaper, he smiled and didn't take it seriously, "Isn't this a good thing? I was planning to find a chance to catch these idiots, but I didn't expect someone to come to my door automatically."

Hong Sheng said anxiously: "Uncle Fourteen, it was first revealed in the newspaper, isn't it a shocker?"

Fourteen didn't take it to heart, "Don't worry, the subordinates are watching, and they can't escape even if they want to!"

Hong Sheng saw that he was not in a hurry, but he was on the verge of getting angry in his heart. The emperor was really not in a hurry with the eunuchs, "No, I have to go to this newspaper!" After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.

Fourteen didn't take it seriously. After thinking about it, it was the leaker who arrested the officials disclosed in the newspaper.

This newspaper has to say that it really opened the eyes of the [-]th Congress, but such reckless actions are not acceptable.

If he doesn't act, the people in this newspaper will suffer retaliation from those officials.

After Hongsheng left Fourteenth Uncle's temporary mansion, he quickened his pace and ran to find Hongming.

The reason why he was so interested in this newspaper was because of no other choice.

Think about it, today's Long Live God values ​​them and specially arranged errands for them, but after they came to Jiangnan, they failed to achieve anything, and finally had to ask Fourteenth Uncle.

This is simply declaring that they are useless. How can these young and vigorous boys swallow this breath?

This one is the proud son of heaven, and they were all lawless bullies in the capital, how could they easily admit defeat?

No, after offending the news in this newspaper, Hong Sheng used his brains. Since this newspaper can get so many officials' crimes, it means that there must be inside information.

If they can get the criminal evidence of these officials, at least they won't lose too much face when they return to the capital.

Maybe it will sweep away the previous bad luck and be appreciated by the emperor.

He was played around by a group of old foxes before, it was inferior to others, they recognized it.

But then it was time for them to counterattack.

After Hongsheng went back, he told Hongming and the others, and after discussing and discussing, everyone agreed.

This time, not only Hongsheng and Hongming came to Jiangnan together, but also a few elder brothers from the clan, who were relatively close to the royal family. Maybe the previous generation had some grievances, but after suffering a few losses before, the group People know that they can't let the other party defeat each other.

The reason why they were played around before was also because they were doing their own thing, and the reason for their disunity was not used to being found by others.

After reflecting on it now, the group put aside their opinions for a while and reached an alliance for the time being.

"Let's go, go and find that newspaper now, don't let anyone get ahead of you." In Jinling, if you dare to suddenly expose the criminal evidence of local officials, you have something to rely on yourself, or you just don't know how to live or die.

Of course, Hong Sheng believed that the other party must have something to rely on, at least ordinary people would never dare to do such a thing.

Fortunately, these few people have foresight, and all the announcements are that they will definitely step down this time.

Either they know everything about the current situation in Jinling, or they have special information channels.

No matter which kind of Hong Sheng felt that the other party could be used by them, they only dared to reveal some small officials now, which meant that the other party did not dare to reveal bigger news.

But they have the ability to poke this hornet's nest. If the negotiation is settled, it will be beneficial to both parties.

After they join in, they will have enough strength to keep the newspaper.

Fourteen still doesn't know that a group of bastards are about to cause a big battle in the Jiangnan officialdom, which will make him get enough mess in the future.

After three months of working as odd jobs, the two brothers Hongkyung have thoroughly understood every department in the bank.

Three months passed in a blink of an eye, and the two couldn't wait to ask whether it was the department that promoted banknotes.

"You two have thought it through clearly, do you really want to transfer to this department?" the person who recruited the younger brothers asked.

Without waiting for Hongkyung to answer, Hongshi took the lead and said, "Yes, we brothers also want to make a contribution to the promotion of banknotes."

The man looked at the two of them calmly, and then said, "This department is very cold right now. No one can be optimistic about whether you really want to transfer over. If you transfer over, it will be very difficult to transfer back in the future. After all, we The department is like a radish and a pit, you will definitely recruit others after you leave, and there will be no place for you in the future."

Hong Kyung stood side by side with Hong Shi, "Thanks for the manager's reminder, we are willing to transfer to a new department." Didn't they come to the bank to participate in the promotion of banknotes?As a prince, how could he fancy a job in a bank.

After three months of doing chores, Hong Kyung has been thoroughly polished. At least he understands the meaning hidden in some people's words. So there are so many ways of expression in language art?

As the bottom of the bank for three months, they suffered from various crowded jobs, as well as some people intentionally or unintentionally making things difficult for them, which made the two children grow up very quickly.

Compared with three months ago, the two of them will definitely not be deceived again. After all, this is nothing compared to the commercial scam in the bank this time.

If they go out and get scammed again, they can be crushed to death with a brick.

"Since you have all made up your mind, I won't stop you." The manager let go, took out two pieces of paper, wrote a list of job changes, and asked them to sign their names.

Hong Kyung signed with Hong Shi, his eyes sparkled with joy.

It's really not easy, chopping thorns all the way, waiting for the next time I can touch the banknotes.

The steward took back the signed form, got up and led the two of them all the way in, until they reached the innermost room.

"Old Xue, I'm counting on you for the two little guys here." The steward pushed open the door and shouted at the people sitting in the seats inside.

The man stopped writing and raised his head. When he saw Hong Jinghong behind the steward, he nodded to the steward, "I'll arrange it now." The tasks of these two little masters have been assigned by the higher authorities. Just going through the motions.

Then the steward turned around and explained to the two brothers, "Ask steward Xue for anything in the future. Old Xue is a good man, and he knows everything." This is a favor of Lao Xue.

Before the two brothers answered, Steward Xue laughed first, and the two of them exchanged witty words a few times, and the steward left without staying.

Steward Xue put down his pen, looked at his brother, and then pointed to the two chairs next to him for people to sit down.

"Come and sit down first, let you learn about our department and some issues with banknotes."

"Our department is a newly expanded department. It can be said that it is unknown in the capital, but we are the most important department in Mongolia. Now the Mongolian side has passed the paper, although it has spread to the capital in a short time Come on, some merchants have switched to banknotes, but it’s not enough for us. At least we have to let the common people accept this.”

Hong Kyung listened carefully.

Steward Xue continued, "If paper money is very convenient, even if you don't want to accept paper money, you can take it to the bank and exchange it for copper coins or gold coins or silver coins. This will relieve the worries of ordinary people, but paper money still has certain risks. Fire, if there are a lot of banknotes in the house, if the fire burns down, everything will be gone.”

"So try to avoid mentioning such topics when promoting banknotes."

Hongshi asked, "Are some deliberately using this question to make things difficult for us?"

Steward Xue smiled and said, "Usually this is the time to test your eloquence. Paper money is afraid of fire, but copper coins, gold and silver are not afraid of fire? At this time, you should persuade these worried people to deposit their savings in the bank." Here, only a part of the money that is used on weekdays is kept. The money stored in the bank not only increases the interest rate, but also avoids the fear of leaving the money at home. It is stored in our bank, and there is absolutely no need to worry about flooding or being stolen by thieves, even if our bank is out I don’t worry about the loss of customers, as long as the passbook is there, the money is guaranteed to be a lot.”

Hong Shi had nothing to say, and Hong Kyung on the side expressed his opinion at this time, "I think not only must the common people accept it, but also some small vendors. Only street stalls are willing to accept banknotes, and ordinary people are not so willing to accept banknotes." I'm too scrupled."

Steward Xue nodded in agreement, "You are right, our bank has already given some support to these small traders, for example, if small traders are willing to accept banknote transactions, we are willing to provide certain free transfer services, or provide low-cost interest loans to help them buy a house or expand their business.”

Hong Kyung's eyes lit up, "If these two points are really helpful, I think there must be many vendors willing to accept banknotes."

"Now all the people from our department have been sent out, so it's just right for you to come." Steward Xue opened the notebook in front of him, "Then I will give you a task, the Qianjie teahouse shop and the mutton soup shop will be handed over to you." For the two of you, the banks in the entire capital are now competing with each other. Whoever is the first to promote banknotes in their own streets will have their salaries doubled. This time is a competition in our capital, as well as a competition between all the banks in the Qing Dynasty. The competition is to realize banknotes first in the location of the bank, and then all employees of the bank in the whole city can receive double the bonus." The monthly salary in the bank is not very much, but the bonus at the end of each year is very large , can be worth the income of the first half of the year.

If it is doubled, it means that one year can have two years of income. No matter which city or bank is gearing up, they want to do a big job. After all, these two rewards can be superimposed.

Hong Jing and Hong Shi are gearing up for the fight, and they finally got the job, "I promise to complete the task."

Compared with the busy census accounts, the census population is much smaller than the census land area.

Quietly enter the village and finish work quietly, waving the sleeves without leaving a cloud.

The imperial court suddenly announced the abolition of slavery, which angered many wealthy families.

Especially the salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, which mansion did not have more than one hundred and eighty servants.

All of a sudden, these slaves and maidservants who have signed prostitution contracts are now free, and they can't kill them at will like before. After all, killing angry people is not against the law, and killing good people will cost them their lives.

Just the abolishment of the anger status has led to many murder cases, which has suddenly increased the burden on many government officials.

Rumors have gradually spread among the people that the current emperor is forcing his father to abdicate and that the throne is not right.

Of course, these words only quietly emerged in places far away from the capital, and even the local officials did not notice.

On the contrary, some people noticed this kind of movement, and they became excited one by one, as if they had caught something, they picked up a pen to enumerate the several major crimes committed by the current emperor.

Of course, these words couldn't reach Beijing, and naturally they couldn't reach fourth master's ears either.

[Fourth, I have read your letter. I have seen the banknotes with my own eyes in Xincheng.It is indeed easier to carry than gold, silver, copper, etc., but Xincheng is mainly for trade, and tax transactions are not as easy to pass as banknotes, but the inland is different, you need to take your time.

As you said, the circulation of banknotes is indeed beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. It can concentrate gold and silver in the hands of the court, and it can encourage business prosperity. There are many benefits, but it needs to be implemented carefully and slowly. The century-old cause of the Qing Dynasty will be done.

During this period of time, I traveled by train, from Chengde to Mongolia, from Mongolia to Liaodong, and then back to Shengjing.

For my Qing Dynasty, the train is the lifeline of the north and south of the river. We must insist on building it. Whether it is ten years, 20 years, or a hundred years, as long as the train connects the entire north and south of the river, this land is truly in our hands. In the hands of Aixinjue Luo...]

Fourth Master closed the letter. He really didn't expect that the Supreme Emperor did not stay at Mulan Paddock with peace of mind, but went around Mongolia and Liaodong instead.

There is no news from Mulan Paddock so far, presumably the Supreme Emperor has already made arrangements.

Rubbing the bridge of his nose, the fourth master immediately sent a sticky stick to pass on the message that the people in Shengjing must protect the safety of the Supreme Emperor.

Afterwards, fourth master wrote back to the Supreme Emperor.

"Khan Ama, I haven't seen you for a long time. My son thinks about it very much. I don't know when you went to Mongolia. Why didn't you tell my son? If something happens, my son will be to blame. Khan Ama, the son of the bank. I have already ordered it to go on, and I will never act hastily. My son is already prepared for a long-term battle. If the son is not good, there will be your grandson. If the grandson is not good, there will be a great-grandson. this matter."

The fourth master wrote here, stopped writing, thought for a while, and then continued to write, "The matter of the train is indeed very important. Nowadays, the water transport has become a stubborn problem. My son thinks that if there is a train to connect the north and the south, it will not be difficult." Worried about the handling of the water transport, the grain transport went on strike. However, for the time being, only An Jia has money to build the train, and my son also knows that the train route must not be in the hands of a woman. You also know that there is no money in the treasury, so it is impossible to get it all at once A lot of money was spent to buy back the train line. So An Jiashi proposed a proposal that the imperial court take the land as a share, she used the money to build it, and handed over the management right to her, and waited until the investment money and part of the interest were recovered. Hand over all the train lines to the imperial court. Other cities can recruit other businessmen to do the same, my son thinks it is feasible, what do you think Khan Ama?"

Fourth master finished writing the letter, stuffed it into an envelope after it was dry, and called the sticky post after sealing it, and took the secret route to pass the letter to Shengjing.

Previously, the fourth master was thinking of sharing the profits from the train with An Jia's equally. However, after the news of the investment in the train tracks spread, the effect was not obvious. The three local people were afraid of cooperating with the imperial court. kick out.

It is precisely because of this scruple that Minning proposed another plan. After careful consideration, the fourth master felt that the government would not get a share in the first few years, but it could speed up the return of funds from the merchants as soon as possible. This is for some merchants. It is indeed attractive.

After discussion, the fourth master agreed, and now a pilot project is being made in Hebei. As long as the railway in Hebei is in the hands of merchants after it is built, and the imperial court does not interfere, it can set an example for other places.

This is not a decision. Just after I made the decision, I received a letter from the Supreme Emperor.

Fourth master had no choice but to raise his mouth on this matter.

After the letter got out, fourth master got busy again, and the results of land surveys in various provinces had gradually spread to Beijing.

After all, the land will not run away, measure it in various places, and then check it randomly. After confirming that it is correct, it will be reported.

Then seeing the census results of a province, fourth master was very hard to be happy, the smallest province also concealed less than half of the land.

In other words, the imperial court has reduced half of the tax for nothing. How can this make him happy?

Half a year, what about ten or twenty years?

If there is no surprise land census this time, less and less land will "disappear" over time.

Where did these "disappeared" lands go?

Fourth master naturally knew it well, most of it was hidden by some scholars.

The imperial court exempted part of the land for scholars, which is a special treatment for scholars and encourages people all over the world to study.

As a result, this group of people gnawed at the country's tax revenue like ants, but what if the local government collects less tax?That can only put heavy taxes on the people who have no ability to resist. Perhaps, as An Jia said, to treat scholars leniently is to criticize the people.

These ordinary people have to pay for the responsibilities that scholars should bear. Why?Isn't it because there are loopholes in the benevolent government of the imperial court, which makes people keep exploiting this loophole for thousands of years.

The fourth master also knew that the preferential treatment for scholars would definitely not be canceled in a short period of time. After thinking about it, he still planned to follow An Jia's advice and vigorously promote businessmen to set up children's schools to offset taxes. Then eliminate this policy.

When the scholars really started making trouble, it would be a good time to select some pragmatic people from among these literate people. Fourth Master squinted his eyes and announced the matter at that time. He didn't know whether the common people supported the imperial court or these scholars.

Holding scissors in her hands, the Queen cut off the excess leaves on the flower branches, and then put them in the vase in front of her. There were still many flowers on her left.

"... Fourth Young Master helped to investigate, but the whereabouts of Lord Long Live and Concubine An are secretive, and he didn't dare to investigate too deeply. He only vaguely knew that the two left the west of the city and went to Concubine An's village in the west."

The queen put down the scissors, "How can I ask Wuge to do this?" Didn't she ask her elder brother to do it before?

The queen and Wu Ge are two siblings, both of whom are descended from Fei Yanggu's stepmother, so compared to other brothers, they are the closest.

The reason why she asked her eldest brother to investigate this matter was nothing more than repaying the matter of her previous sister-in-law.

Unexpectedly, the elder brother was shrewd, instead of doing it himself, he coaxed Wu Ge to investigate.

The queen was a little angry when she heard it. Could it be that even Ulanara didn't listen to some words?

"This servant knows about it. I heard that the fourth young master secretly heard about it. I wanted to help my master, so I went to inquire about it."

The queen shook her head, and said helplessly, "This kid is too impulsive, and he doesn't even know he's been tricked."

Wuge is much smaller than the queen. It can be said that she was brought up by the queen when she was born. Later, the queen entered the palace and separated from Wuge.

It was only after leaving the palace that they reconnected.

Regarding her younger brother's temperament, the queen didn't know anything, he was a little impulsive, and when he heard what she ordered, he promised to rush to the forefront.

"Forget it, hurry up and send someone to inform Wuge, don't let him interfere in this matter."

Fang Fei agreed, and then asked, "Do you still need to investigate the matter of Lord Long Live and Concubine An going out of the palace?"

The queen narrowed her eyes, "Check, of course I have to check, I always feel that things are not so simple." Then the queen seemed to remember something and asked, "By the way, Hong Kyung and Hong Shi have been going out with the Supreme Emperor for several months, come on. Have you got the letter?"

Fang Fei nodded and said, "Brother Hongjing doesn't know about it, but Brother Hongshi sent a letter to Concubine Qi some time ago."

The queen nodded, then suddenly changed her voice, and asked another person, "Is Mrs. Jia in the side hall still honest?"

Fang Fei was stunned for a moment, but she didn't expect that the Queen would suddenly ask about Lady Jia, but she quickly reacted and replied, "Miss Jia is quite quiet, she spends all day sorting out the books in the side hall." Changchun Palace has There is a large side hall with a lot of books in it, and that part of it is stored by the Supreme Emperor. I don't know if it has been stored for too long. The Supreme Emperor has forgotten these books.

After the queen moved over, she found the batch of books and did not move them. She only sent someone to clean them on weekdays.

Later, when Mrs. Jia came over, there was no place to put the female official beside the queen, so she sent her to sort out the books.

There are tens of thousands of books in that side hall, and it would take only a few years for one person to sort them out.

The empress has already made up her mind, let Jia stay in the side hall for the next few years, until she is old enough to be released from the palace.

"The empress is secretly looking for Lord Long Live?" At the same time, Concubine Xi also received the news.

During this period of time, she has been very close to the queen, how can she not know what the queen is up to?

If the Empress really took a fancy to her son, then her son would also have a bargaining chip, for this, Concubine Xi was naturally willing.

But there is a premise that the son is still recorded in her name, instead of becoming the queen's son.

Having been with the queen for a long time, she naturally bought one or two people around the queen, and occasionally just passed on some news, but she didn't expect to get such important news this time.

Concubine Xi rolled her eyes, and then thought that the Queen secretly investigated the whereabouts of Lord Long Live and Concubine An, if it got out, the Queen would definitely be overwhelmed.

But why would she do such a thankless thing?

Concubine Xi was the same as the empress, she intuitively felt that there must be something wrong, Long Live Lord Concubine An would never leave the palace for no reason, unless someone outside the palace attracted the two of them.

who can that be?

Concubine Xi couldn't figure it out for a while, but it didn't prevent her from muddying the water and fishing in troubled waters.

He called the maid beside him, and after a few words of instructions, the maid nodded and left.

Concubine Xi was a little proud, she didn't expect that one day she would have the opportunity to play and applaud the lofty Concubine An and the Empress.

I don't know when, a news came out from the palace.

The queen secretly asked her natal family to send someone to Rehe!

Why did the queen ask her family to send someone to Rehe?Many people's minds are floating. This kind of news that is immediately known to be false, but it is very marketable, and it is spreading more and more widely.

It was probably because the life in the palace was too hard to bear, and upon hearing such unreliable news, the first reaction was to pass it on to other people excitedly, without trying to identify whether it was true or not.

At first, the master above didn't notice it, but by the time he noticed it, it had already spread throughout the palace.

Min is playing with a new gadget, which is the gadget presented below, whose shape refers to the music box.

There is a shaking hand at the bottom. After turning it clockwise, after about three or four turns, the top few bulbs will light up.

This is a simple power generation unit, which relies on friction to generate electricity.

What Minning didn't expect was that the power plant hadn't been finished yet, and the wire sheath hadn't been finished yet. These skillful craftsmen would come up with such an exquisite thing first.

There are bare copper wires inside the wooden box, and such a lamp can be made by relying on simple devices.

She had to marvel at the brains of these people. Sure enough, these people were not only craftsmen but also artists.

After playing for a while, Minning turned his gaze to Zhang Qilin, who was advising her in front of him, telling where the news first originated and where it spread from, without missing a single one.

After Minning heard this, he didn't take it to heart. He could hear it and spread it so widely. Someone must be fishing in troubled waters. This is looking for trouble after seeing the palace is too uneasy!

Probably because he felt that entering the palace was different from staying in the mansion before, and he was emboldened, so he tried to make trouble.

"Okay, you can deal with this matter yourself. If it doesn't work, tell the empress empress. This matter will implicate the empress empress. You can cooperate with him whatever she wants." Minning is not willing to take care of such a trivial matter.

If the queen sent someone to assassinate Hong Kyung, she would never believe it. As rivals this year, the two will only use whatever methods they have on each other, and will never implicate the child.

Over the years, she and the queen have maintained a tacit understanding, and it is absolutely not possible for someone with a heart to provoke the two to fight at will.

Minning didn't take this matter to heart, and waited for Zhang Qilin to leave before looking at Jia Jinlu. Since entering the palace, the contacts outside the palace are usually through Jia Jinlu. brought in from outside the palace.

"Preheat it first, and then send people to make more kinds of colored bulbs, and produce more like this." Before the power plant was built and the electricity was not connected, Minning planned to use some small things to get used to it. Go to the market.

It must be known that there is something else in this world that is not only illuminated by candles and lamp oil.

What's more, these small things will only light up when you shake your hand, and the current inside is very small, so you don't have to worry about hurting people due to leakage.

Thinking that if the power plant is established, a group of electricians will have to be trained.

It seems that the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the food and grass must go first.

"Then recruit some young people from the private sector and send them to Tianjin to train them on how to use electricity."

Electricity, you must not touch it casually, ordinary people will not understand it, and it will be a troublesome thing if you are electrocuted to death.

Jia Jinlu quickly wrote down two things.

Minning thought for a while, and had nothing else to do, so he asked about the two children again.

"Are Hong Kyung and Hong Shi okay outside during this time?" I was busy with other things, and it has been a while, and I haven't asked the two children.

"The two young masters are not doing well, I heard that they have received an errand."

Minning nodded, "Okay, send someone to take care of it, errands are one thing, I can't get hurt because of errands."

Jia Jinlu bent over and said, "Master, please rest assured, the two little masters will never hurt a hair."

These days, the queen's life is not easy.

I don't know when, there was a gust of monsters in the palace. It was said that there are noses and eyes, but the queen knew that none of them were true.

However, if she opened her mouth to refute, it would be a guilty conscience.

All of a sudden, the queen was forced to the point where she could not retreat.

"Crack!" The queen pushed the vase to the ground violently, the flowers inserted a few days ago had withered and turned yellow.

Rumors have been entangled these days, and the queen doesn't have the elegant taste to play with flowers.

Fang Fei's heart skipped a beat, and she finally bit the bullet and walked in through the palace gate.

"Have you found out who is causing trouble in the palace?"

"Returning to the master, I have already found out. The latest news came from outside the palace. I heard that it was a maid who accidentally heard the news when she went home to visit relatives. After entering the palace, she told the maid who was close to her, and then spread rumors. The rumors are getting more and more outrageous." She didn't dare to say, she suspected that she was discovered when she went to see Master Wu Ge, which led to this incident.

Fang Fei took a deep breath. Anyway, no one knew about this matter. As long as she didn't mention it, it wouldn't reach the master's ears.

The queen calmed down her anger, sat on the embroidered pier and asked Fang Fei, "What's the reaction in other palaces?"

Fang Fei lowered her head, covered the guilt in her eyes, and said: "Concubine Nian of Yikun Palace, due to heatstroke, there has been no movement during this period. Concubine Xi has been to Changchun Palace, and the slaves have been stopped. As for Concubine Qi, I'm preparing for my second elder brother's wedding, and I heard that I have invited several family members. As for Concubine An, Manager Zhang has already reported it, and I don't know what the result will be."

The queen clenched her fists tightly. After entering the palace, she felt that she was restricted everywhere, and she was not free at all when she was in the mansion.

That's right, since she became the queen of the world, every move she made was naturally watched by the whole palace.

Fang Fei was still about to say something, but at this time another maid came in hastily from outside.

"Reporting to my lord, Mrs. Zhang is asking to see you outside."

Fang Fei turned her head, and then quickly turned her head to look at the queen.

Who doesn't know that Director Zhang is Concubine An's person, and when he came to see the queen at this time, it was obviously Concubine An who responded.

The queen glanced at the broken vase on the ground, and Fang Fei quickly knelt down to pick it up.

Picking up the broken porcelain pieces with her skirt, Fang Fei looked at the water on the ground again, and felt that there were too many traces of exposure, so she quickly threw the porcelain pieces on the skirt into the basket, and asked the little maid to carry the table over to cover the ground. traces of water.

After tidying up, make sure there are no traces in the house.

The queen touched her bun, cleared her throat and said, "Call Zhang Qilin in!"

Zhang Qilin hurriedly stepped over the threshold and entered the hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, he slapped a thousand and knelt down on one knee, "Greetings to the master and empress, and wish the master and empress good luck and well-being."

The queen slightly raised her hand, "Get up."

After finishing speaking, the queen sneered, and asked again: "Eunuch Zhang hasn't come to Changchun Palace for 80 years, why did you come here today?"

After Zhang Qilin got up, he hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "The treasured place of the master and empress, there is a place where slaves can step in at any time, and slaves dare not come here to pay their respects all the time, because they are afraid of dirtying the place of the empress."

The queen didn't bother to go around in circles with him, and asked straightforwardly, "What did Concubine An explain, you can just say it."

Zhang Qilin bent slightly, and said, "Of course the affairs of the harem are under the care of the mistress, and now I don't know who is talking bewitching things in the palace. Master An said, please ask the mistress to keep the palace in peace."

The queen understands, is An Jia not going to take care of this matter?

That's right, An Jia's family is very busy all day long, and people have put their hands into the government affairs of the previous dynasty, so naturally they look down on the power of the harem.

The queen took a deep breath, "Okay, I know!"
