Palace Flower as Employment [Red Mansion]
Chapter 46
The Taishanghuang never expected that he would suffer a stroke at this moment.
And this time the consequences were more serious than the previous two times. In the previous two times, he was only paralyzed half of his body, and his hands were unable to hold things. But this time, the Supreme Emperor was unable to get off the ground.
Not only was he unable to get off the ground, but his mouth was crooked, and when he opened his mouth, the saliva dripped down. As for his hand, he couldn't hold the pen for a long time.
The Supreme Emperor panicked, he beat up the imperial physicians and the imperial physicians, and even killed two of them, but nothing improved.
Lying on the sickbed, the Supreme Emperor finally calmed down after losing his temper for a few days.
Now, there are only their grandparents and grandchildren in the royal family, and he is like this now. If he does something to Jia Qi, won't all the ministers be divorced from the royal family?In that case, will there still be ministers on the side of the royal family?
The Supreme Emperor suddenly discovered that he had no money to do anything to Jia Qi, and he even had to protect Jia Qi and Jia Qi's wife and children!
After thinking about this, the Taishanghuang didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But what else can be done?The Supreme Emperor had no choice but to retract the previous order, and even sent someone to protect Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu. He also called his grandson to him and told him to listen to Jia Qi and learn from Jia Qi.
Seeing the unstoppable relaxation and smile on his grandson's face and his trust in Jia Qi, the Taishang Huang felt even more depressed.
When the Taishanghuang called the young emperor to give a lecture, Jia Qi was welcoming his wife back at the Tongzhou pier.
Lin Daiyu is still six months old, and her belly doesn't look big, but Lin Daiyu looks relaxed. Obviously, Lin Daiyu is also very happy to be able to conceive a child so soon.
As soon as the boat came to a stop, Jia Qi rushed up and into the cabin, first asked Lin Daiyu, then checked Lin Daiyu's expression, saw that Lin Daiyu was in good health and looked good, then gently touched Lin Daiyu's stomach, and said: "My child Will he trouble you? If he dares to trouble you, when he comes out, I will beat his ass!"
Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Who didn't come here like this? If being a mother is hard, shouldn't you be the first to be beaten? According to your mischievous temperament, my wife may have suffered a lot."
Jia Qi also smiled: "That's true, I have to thank my wife well later."
Seeing this, You Ruo took those maids out, and closed the door considerately, leaving the space for Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu.
Seeing all the girls retreating, and even You Ruo guarding the door, Lin Daiyu said in a low voice: "It's so good, why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly promote me to be a knight? He also gave me the Huzhou Mansion as a fief? That’s a big city with an annual income of 2000 million! Even if I only take one out of 2000 out of the 100 million taxes, it’s still [-] million a year, and it’s still silver!”
Not to mention the princesses with different surnames, even if they are also the sons of the Supreme Emperor, how many have fiefdoms?There is a fief but no fief, even if it is the emperor's son, there is a world of difference!Not to mention, Huzhou Prefecture is such a wealthy city.
The Supreme Emperor gave himself the Huzhou Mansion as a fiefdom, and let himself enjoy the tax dividends from the Huzhou Mansion. I believe those royal princesses are already jealous, let alone those clan members.
If the Supreme Emperor still had a son, everyone would be very jealous.
Lin Daiyu is definitely not the kind of short-sighted person who thinks that with the emperor's favor, everything will be fine.Sometimes, too much favor is a bad thing.
Jia Qi said, "Don't worry about him."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help pinching him: "You still haven't told me the truth! Don't you know that I'm worried?"
Jia Qi had no choice but to whisper in Lin Daiyu's ear: "I don't know anything else, but I think the Supreme Emperor knew about the flowers that day. In addition, the Supreme Emperor did intend to praise and kill him before. But, then It’s also a thing of the past.”
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the Supreme Emperor had another stroke, and this time, the Supreme Emperor couldn't even get off the ground. Right now, he can only seek stability."
"Steady? Is the situation really so bad?"
Jia Qi nodded and said: "Yes. Although it was only a few months, Mongolia and Nvzhi mobilized no less than 20 people. While surrounding the capital, they also surrounded the capital north of the Yellow River, especially the capital city. The area has been cleaned many times, many cities, entire cities, entire cities have been killed, even those hidden on the ground of the cellar are no exception."
"how come?!"
"According to the news from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Jingzhao Mansion, there are only a few Zhuangzi left in the north of the Yellow River who are still popular, and the people from other places are only equivalent to the population of these Zhuangzi. That's all."
"I see."
Although it is said that she was pregnant for three years, but the pregnant Lin Daiyu would not forget her father's upbringing. Jia Qi didn't say that she could guess three points. Now, Jia Qi has told her so, Lin Daiyu What else do you not understand?
Obviously, the current imperial court does not have the strength to move Jia Qi, because only Jia Qi has someone in his hands, and most of these people trust Jia Qi more than the imperial court.
This is definitely a blow to the Supreme Emperor who exchanged national laws and regulations and national taxes for the name of benevolence, and it was a heavy blow.
Jia Qi is safe for at least ten years, at least until the young emperor is crowned.
As for those common people, only when Jia Qi is safe and sound, can Lin Daiyu take care of them.If Jia Qi had an emergency, Lin Daiyu would try her best to protect herself and her children, how could she have such a good mind to take care of other things?
Although she is already the Princess of Huzhou, Lin Daiyu knows better than anyone else that this world is a man's world after all, and Jia Qi helped her win the bit of power in her hands.
Jia Qi is her reliance.
The couple sat for a while longer, and then they took the honor guard of the princess and went home together.
This was the first time Lin Daiyu went home after she became the princess. Mother Jia asked someone to open the middle door and asked the juniors to wait at the door.
Although Lin Daiyu was already mentally prepared, when she saw Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu turned her face slightly.
Jia Baoyu's obsessed face and Shi Xiangyun's knife-like eyes told her that she might have to deal with the two of them in the days to come.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu, he came over to bow to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu could only smile and said, "Long time no see, why doesn't Second Cousin go to the front?"
Shi Xiangyun said angrily: "I heard that you are coming back, the old lady sent us out to meet you."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "The old lady is too polite, I am going back to my own home, why do I need so many rules?"
When Wang Xifeng and Zhang Shuya heard about it, they both laughed: "That's not true. My wife has already said that they are all from my own family and don't need these vain gifts. The old lady was angry and said that we were lazy. We had no choice but to come."
Wang Xifeng, Zhang Shuya, and Lin Daiyu were originally sisters-in-law. After seeing each other's family gifts, they helped Lin Daiyu go in from left to right. Jia Baoyu was about to follow, but was stopped by Jia Qi.
"Second Brother Bao, I got a second fan outside, Second Brother Bao, come with me to appreciate it?"
"Brother Qi, sister Lin just came home..."
Jia Baoyu wanted to say something, but he had to shut up under Jia Qi's sharp eyes.
Only then did he remember that both Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu were married, and even Lin Daiyu was pregnant with Jia Qi's child.
For a moment, Jia Baoyu felt melancholy.
They've all grown up and can't go back.In the past, he was still able to get along with his older sisters by relying on his young age and being favored by the old lady, but now, he had to choose time even to go to the old lady.
Jia Qi's hand was like an iron hoop, firmly grasping Jia Baoyu, and pulling him into a side hall for receiving guests - Jia Qi didn't even let Jia Baoyu go to his study, but directly chose This side hall——after the boys served tea, Jia Qi said slowly: "Second Brother Bao, Sister Yun is your wife. Sometimes, if you want to care about other people's wives, you might as well pay more attention." own wife."
Jia Baoyu became irritable at that time.
He really wanted to say that he didn't like Shi Xiangyun at all. He wanted to say that he had always regarded Shi Xiangyun as his younger sister and never thought of marrying Shi Xiangyun as his wife. He wanted to say that his wife should be like Lin Daiyu, but when he looked up, he saw Jia Qi's cold eyes made him startled, and he finally lowered his head.
It took a long time before I heard Jia Baoyu whisper: "Brother Qi, you and Sister Lin, okay?"
Jia Qi said: "Nature is excellent. Sister Lin and I grew up together, reading and playing together. Whether it's poetry, songs or historical miscellaneous notes, they are our common hobbies. Even food, Our tastes are also exactly the same. Brother Bao, isn't it the same for you and Sister Yun?"
Jia Baoyu said: "I... I am different from Yun'er."
Jia Qi said: "It's different? I remember that Brother Bao and Sister Yun were also childhood sweethearts. Every time Sister Yun came to our house, she always played with Brother Bao and rarely paid attention to me and my third brother. It is also tight to the second brother Bao and the maids in the house of the second brother Bao. Even a ring is also to be tight to the girl of the second brother Bao. The second brother Bao loves red, and sister Yun also likes to wear red very much. Brother Bao second I like to be lively, and so does Sister Yun, even if it's just the two of you, wherever you go, it's always lively..."
"No, Yun'er and I are not what you think at all."
"Oh? Not like? Why not? Back then, Second Brother Bao and Sister Yun were recognized as a couple. Otherwise, why would the old lady propose to marry Sister Yun for Second Brother Bao?"
"Stop talking!" Jia Baoyu stood up abruptly, and said, "You married a fairy woman like Sister Lin, so naturally..."
"What is nature?" Jia Qi slammed the tureen in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "If you didn't covet my wife, do you think I would talk nonsense to you here? Don’t know the taboo, dare to say anything, aunt will betroth Sister Lin to you? Don’t forget, when aunt just left and Sister Lin came to our house for the first time, what the hell were you wearing? You are all red! Aunt really wants to betroth Sister Lin to you, and Aunt will not be able to live in peace under the nine springs!"
"I……"
Jia Baoyu was sad and wronged.
When Jia Min died, no one told him at all.
"No one told you?"
Jia Qi suddenly approached Jia Baoyu, his breath almost sprayed on Jia Baoyu's face, which startled Jia Baoyu.
"What did the old lady go all the way to pick up Sister Lin from Yangzhou? Do you think the old lady is full?" Jia Qi said, "Not only when my aunt passed away, but also when my uncle passed away. , you are in red again! If you want to see Sister Lin, can’t you consider how Sister Lin just lost her father? Even if you don’t have white clothes, you can change into blue ones! As a result! On Jin Chuan’er’s anniversary, you Did you remember to change your clothes? My aunt is dead, and when you get to Sister Lin, you’ll forget all about it, right?” Jia Qi grabbed Jia Baoyu’s collar.
"I, I, I..."
Jia Baoyu almost cried from fright.
Jia Qi let go of Jia Baoyu bitterly, and said, "Don't say that the old lady doesn't love you, you know better than anyone how the old lady treats you and us. If the wife is partial, you are not qualified. Don't blame Sister Lin for never paying attention to you, those girls in your house want to please you, but Sister Lin has no need to indulge you. "
Jia Baoyu suddenly said: "But, but I don't want to marry Yun'er..."
Jia Qi said: "The Yun'er you are talking about, is it your friend you met outside, or is it Sister Yun?"
"Eh?"
"Don't think I don't know. When you are drinking with Feng Ziying and the others, you like to ask Yun'er's singer to sing, don't you? Even Big Brother Xue once said this! You used to be called Sister Yun When you were young, you always called me Sister Yun, now, who do you mean by Yun'er?"
"I, of course, is Sister Yun."
"You can call Sister Yun by the name of the singer, Brother Bao, I really feel sorry for Sister Yun." Jia Qi looked at Jia Baoyu who was stunned suddenly, and said: "As long as you have a little heart, it is for Sister Yun. Yes, Sister Yun will not become like this. I remember you once said that a woman is a pearl when she is not married, but after a long time of marriage, she becomes a dead fish eye. Brother Bao , when Sister Yun was not married to you, she was also a pearl held in the palm of someone's hand, and who turned her into a dead fish eye? It was you, Brother Bao."
Looking at Jia Baoyu who was so stupid, Jia Qi snorted, called two women to come and guard the door, and went back to the room by herself.
If it weren't for the worry that Jia Baoyu would pester his wife, Jia Qi wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Jia Baoyu.
On the other side, after Lin Daiyu greeted Jia Mu, she quickly withdrew from Jia Mu's room and went back to her room to rest.
Although it is much easier to go by boat than by land, it is better to go out than to be at home, not to mention that she is now a double body, and she cannot be tired, so once she resigned, Jia Mu did not keep her, but made people wait on her carefully. .
When Lin Daiyu returned to her room, she saw Jia Qi holding a book and reading it under the window. What is it if it is not Lin Daiyu's manuscript?
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was back, Jia Qi quickly helped Lin Daiyu to sit on the bed, and removed the shoes and socks for his wife who was handicapped so that she could lie down comfortably. , Said: "It's all my fault, my sister's body is heavy, and I let my sister worry about it."
Lin Daiyu recognized that it was her own manuscript, and said with a smile: "After reading your manuscript, I also have something to gain. I have nothing to do, so I wrote a few strokes. It's just that it can't be more detailed. I I can't bother now, when the child comes out, I will change it properly."
Seeing that You Ruo led all the maids to leave, Lin Daiyu just said: "A Qi, I am very happy that you are doing well."
Jia Qi took Lin Daiyu's hand and rubbed it on her face. Like a cat, she narrowed her eyes and said, "I will be fine just for you."
"Ok, I know."
Even though Lin Daiyu is back, Jia Qi can still pick her up in person. In fact, Jia Qi is really busy.Just like when he chose to go to the newly established Shanghai Prefecture, in terms of tricks, he must not be able to play with old people like Qi Qian and Liang Jian, but Qi Qian is Jia Yue's father-in-law, and Liang Jian is also famous. The justice will do things.
Liang Jian knew very well that there were only three political advisers in the cabinet right now, Qi Qian, him, and Jia Qi.Needless to say, Qi Qian is in charge of the household department, in fact, he is in charge of the treasury and money bags for the emperor; Liang Jian is in charge of the official department, which is equivalent to controlling the appointment and removal of officials in the world, and it is his job to help the emperor ensure the stability of the court. Although Jia Qi also participates in political affairs, what Jia Qi needs to be responsible for is outside the capital. Restoring prosperity to the north of the Yellow River and even the whole world is Jia Qi's task.
Liang Jian is a cautious and smart person, so he never gets stuck with Jia Qi.
The three political advisers have a good personal relationship with each other, and they also take care of them in their daily work. This made the Supreme Emperor happy and worried, but also made the ministers below puzzled.
The following ministers are not only from the time when the Daxing Emperor was in power, some senior officials were even able to enter the Jinluan Palace when the Taishang Emperor was in power. The appearance of harmony, now these three are in harmony, taking care of each other, they are really not used to the situation where there are many things and discussions.
It's not that they haven't tried to complain to the emperor or even the Supreme Emperor, but the emperor doesn't believe it at all, and there are also the Supreme Emperor. After the Supreme Emperor heard the news, he simply dismissed these people.
Although the Taishanghuang was not used to it, he also knew that the current court would not be turbulent, and the energy in Jia Qi's hands really frightened the Taishanghuang.
When Jia Qi got the consent of the Supreme Emperor and bought land in the north of the Yellow River, the Supreme Emperor knew that Jia Qi's power would usher in a period of rapid expansion.But the Taishanghuang never expected that the power in Jia Qi's hands would expand so quickly.
If there were traversers, he would definitely be able to see that Jia Qi's method was a typical large farm-style centralized management.Although there is no modern high-tech, and there is no modern machinery, the people still trust Jia Qi, and some refugees are not even willing to read the government's announcements about giving away houses, land and farm tools, and go directly to Jia Qi's Zhuangzi .
On Jia Qi’s Zhuangzi, people who are good at doing farm work are naturally doing farm work, but there are only a few days when the farming is busy. For the rest of the day, these people can go to the workshop on Zhuangzi to find work, whether it is to work in the textile workshop Or go to other workshops to do odd jobs, which are more secure and paid more than those provided by the government.
More importantly, if you work for Jia Qi, you are not afraid of the government's wanton increase in population tax!
Especially this last point is more important than anything else.
When Shaodi heard about this, he sat silently under the window for a long time.
The first time Jia Qi mentioned this to him, Shaodi had only heard about it, and he didn't understand it at all, let alone really understood it.But when he heard that the people would rather work for Jia Qi than the houses and fields provided by the government, Shaodi understood better than anyone that the per capita tax was too much for the people.
After thinking about it for two full days, the young emperor finally nodded and agreed, exempting the population tax owed to the imperial court by various places in the past.
That is to say, in Shanxi Province, it is fine to pay the population tax owed for 50 years in the past, as long as it is enough to pay this year's tax from now on.
At the same time, Shaodi was also thinking about what Jia Qi said about letting women pay taxes.
When Jia Qi asked women to pay taxes, he was attacked by many moralists, not to mention those sand pigs who looked down on women, even many enlightened officials shook their heads.Women have to pay taxes, which means giving women land, otherwise they have nothing to pay taxes.But there is only so little land in this world, and it is not enough to distribute it to men. How can it be distributed to women?
Jia Qi's reason is that if the land is not distributed to women, will it always be enough?Furthermore, if women do not pay taxes, all taxes can only be borne by men, which means that the small tax that could have been shared equally between two people can only be concentrated on one man.Women do not pay taxes, men may only pay nine taels of silver alone, and women start to pay taxes, which means that men only need to pay their own part, maybe only five taels a year, and it will not be so hard.
More importantly, women also need to pay taxes, and naturally they will not be looked down upon when they go out to work, and as long as women can earn money to supplement their families, the people will not drown baby girls, the population will not be out of balance, and the country will recover more quickly.
The ministers quarreled in front of the young emperor. Some people said that there was no such precedent. Jia Qi said that in the Tang Dynasty, women had the right to pay taxes. Why is there no precedent?Some people said that this is not in line with the ancestral system. Jia Qi said that the ancestral system of this dynasty does not prohibit women from paying taxes. The ancestral system only stipulates the rules for men to pay taxes, and the rules for women's taxes are silent. .
All the ministers quarreled in front of the young emperor, and the young emperor had to stop these ministers and ask them why one by one.
Those people were naturally discussing the facts, saying that they felt that Jia Qi had a problem with this chapter.
However, Jia Qi began to explain to Shao Di that the reason for his doing so was that apart from the high per capita tax, Jia Qi also emphasized that in the years of peace, a large number of baby girls were drowned by common people, resulting in more men than women and fewer women among the people. Two, 30 years old and still unable to marry a wife, this is a great pressure on the population, this is one of them.
Second, when women do not pay taxes, most workshops will hesitate to use women, fearing that the family members of the female workers will make trouble.But if women also start paying taxes, the workshop will be able to tell the families of the female workers that they pay taxes legally.Moreover, compared with using women, using women saves money and pays less taxes. In this way, women are more willing to use women workers in workshops, and women will find jobs in workshops more easily than men.This is conducive to ensuring the number of women.
The Shaoqing of the Jingzhao Mansion was the first to agree with Jia Qi.
After each war, the number of women always worried the court, but without women, how could the population increase in a short period of time?
Population is also a major achievement of local officials.
For the feudal dynasty, there are always only two important things in a country, the country and the population.
New laws were quickly passed.Because no servants of high-ranking families were involved, this law did not meet much opposition.Because everyone knows that now the country must first recover.
Just when Jia Qi was racking his brains and arguing with the court officials in order to restore prosperity to the Yellow River Basin and the areas north of the Yellow River, news came from Jiangnan that Jiangnan was in chaos.
In fact, it is not that Jiangnan is in chaos, but that Jinling is in chaos.
At the beginning, when Zhen Yingjia led people to attack Huzhou Prefecture and wanted to capture Jia Qi, it was the idea of attacking the tax bank of Shanghai Prefecture and Jia Qi's property. Those rich families in Jinling wanted to get rich, and no one wanted to be left behind. In the back, everyone is afraid of being excluded from the final division of interests.Therefore, when besieging the capital of Huzhou, most of Zhen Yingjia's team were the patriarchs of Jinling's powerful clan, or the leaders of some forces in Jinling or even in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the end, Zhen Yingjia was hit by the trick and was under the power of smallpox, let alone the others.Those people were either infected with smallpox, or they were exterminated by Jia Qi's men, or they escaped back to Jinling by luck, and brought smallpox back to Jinling.
Soon, Jinling, like the capital, became a dead city.What's worse is that the capital is still the imperial capital anyway, and neither the Taishang Emperor nor the Daxing Emperor is anything to be trifled with. In addition to the idea of supremacy of imperial power for thousands of years, apart from the demon of smallpox, there has been no incident of people attacking the palace city. Condition.
But Jinling is different. The Zhen family is called the Emperor of Earth in Jinling, but they do not have the prestige of the royal family, and the Jinling government directly turned the pot on the Zhen family's head, and those refugees rushed forward under the instigation of caring people. Entered Zhen's house.Not to mention the girls of the Zhen family who are like the vice-misses, even the decent wives and grandmas of the Zhen family have suffered, and the warehouse of the Zhen family has been completely moved.
It is said that the old lady of the Zhen family was overly frightened and disappeared.
Qi Qian immediately asked Jia Qi: "Jia Zhiyuan, I heard that Shanghai Prefecture was once under siege, is there such a thing?"
Jia Qi didn't deny it either: "Yes. At that time, I just received the imperial edict from King Qin and was preparing to assemble the navy to go north, but I learned that Zhen Yingjia led the troops. I will not find anything wrong. Later, Zhen Yingjia robbed my Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Huzhou Prefecture but did not attack Huzhou Prefecture. Mr. Shi Zhan, Chief of the Shanghai Palace."
Immediately, someone impeached Jia Qi in public.
Someone nearby said: "My lord's words are strange. Since Zhen Yingjia received the imperial edict from King Qin, why didn't she go north to King Qin? Instead, she went south to Shanghai Prefecture? This Zhen Yingjia was originally a person who could be punished, so what is the difference with Jia Zhiyuan?" What? As for Jia Zhiyuan’s departure from Huzhou Mansion, it was also because he received the imperial edict from King Qin. Besides, Jia Zhiyuan left his wife in the south, and Ma Shoubei and Mr. Zhan’s performance is also excellent. And the facts have also proved that Jia The prefect’s judgment was correct.”
The minister's defense immediately aroused the agreement of a large group of courtiers.
When Emperor Shao saw this, he began to ask the opinions of the ministers. These ministers were full of spirits when they gave advice, but when they heard the question from Emperor Shao, some people flinched. They did not dare to go south because they were afraid that their small bodies would not be able to defeat smallpox. The power is that they are afraid that the rioters in the south will kill them.
Only the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and reminded the emperor not only to pay attention to Jinling, but also to other places:
"Long live, although I'm not sure, but I guess, Zhen Yingjia surrounded Huzhou, but did not choose to attack the city immediately. It should be that smallpox broke out in his army, so he had to shelve the plan. Jia Zhiyuan It was a fluke to be able to leave the Huzhou Mansion. If the minister's guess is true, I'm afraid smallpox has already spread in the south of the Yangtze River."
The young emperor immediately looked at Jia Qi, and Jia Qi said: "Long live, the adults of the Imperial Hospital should have the most authority on smallpox."
However, the Supreme Hospital has just cut off a group of people by the Supreme Emperor, and the remaining few directly said that their medical skills are limited, and their research on smallpox is not as good as that of a certain person, and then comforted the Emperor: Basically, most infectious diseases will occur in winter. Quit the flags and drums.Now that winter is over, the smallpox situation in the south should be brought under control.
The Minister of the Ministry of War immediately said that he was worried about whether there would be a rebellion in the south. If smallpox broke out on a large scale in the south, then even if there was a rebellion in the south, the scale would not be very large.The minister of the Ministry of War said that he hoped that the young emperor could send someone to the south to have a look.
But Qi Qian immediately reminded the emperor that at this juncture, if he wants to send people south, he must not let the imperial envoy go south with a few entourages to suppress the rebellious army and provide food and medicine for the people.
Another relevant official asked the emperor to exempt this year's tax. The reason is that smallpox is rampant and the population has been greatly reduced. It will overwhelm the people.
Immediately, there was objection from the doctor of the household department. The large reduction in taxes would affect the income of the imperial court and also affect the operation of the imperial court.
The young emperor was in trouble.
This time, Gyeonggi was almost completely wiped out by the Mongols and Nvzhi, and the people north of the Yellow River were almost completely wiped out, let alone the so-called local grassroots management.
Previously, the imperial court had gone to great lengths to stabilize the capital, and the places outside the capital could only be handed over to Jia Qi.Now, it is said that something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the entire Yangtze River Basin and the area south of the Yangtze River may have a rebellious party. After all, the young emperor was young and immediately panicked.
He couldn't help but ask Jia Qi for advice.
Jia Qi did not answer the emperor directly, but asked the emperor to meet the Supreme Emperor and ask for his opinion.
Shao Di was surprised.
Although the Taishanghuang has changed his words, the Taishanghuang's defense and evil thoughts towards Jia Qi have always been clearly imprinted in the young emperor's heart, and the people around the young emperor are all arranged by the Taishanghuang, that is, the Taishanghuang no longer explicitly expresses his defense against Jia Qi And evil thoughts, but there are still people who speak ill of Jia Qi around the young emperor, including court ladies, eunuchs, and every time he goes to pay respects to Emperor Sejong's concubines, the performance of those women makes the young emperor have to think deeply.
All mouths make gold,
Many times, these four words are a cruel reality.
Although the time was not very long, it was enough to make Shaodi suspicious of Jia Qi. Shaodi thought that when he consulted Jia Qi, Jia Qi would take the opportunity to put forward a series of suggestions and develop his power by the way.The young emperor never expected that Jia Qi would ask him to ask the Supreme Emperor.
For the Supreme Emperor, the Young Emperor must have trusted him, so the Young Emperor chose to retire after a short silence.
In the evening of that day, Jia Lian went to the cabinet and took his younger brother home.
In the past few years in the officialdom, Jia Lian has already trained, and he will not think that the Jia family is the best in the world like Wang Xifeng before.In the Golden Luan Hall, Jia Qi clearly felt everyone's malice towards Jia Qi.
Jia Lian took his younger brother home, hoping to get his father's guidance and help.
Jia Amnesty was taken aback when he heard that Shao Di was also wary of Jia Qi.Jia Amnesty is someone who has experienced big scenes, so he naturally knows what it means.
Historically, there were not one or two assistant ministers and ministers who were killed. If the young emperor really wanted to deal with Jia Qi, he might do so before he took charge.
Instead, Jia Qi, after listening to his brother's words and seeing his father's expression, said calmly: "Father, these sons already knew about it. In fact, when Sister Lin was named princess, I already knew that the Supreme Emperor wanted to I'm going to flatter and kill me. As for Long Live, there should be too many people saying these things in his ears, which made him start to doubt me. And to be able to make such an arrangement..."
Jia Lian gritted his teeth: "The Supreme Emperor!"
Apart from the Supreme Emperor, Jia Lian couldn't think of another person.
Besides the Supreme Emperor, who else has such control over the harem?
Jia Qi said: "It's not just his idea. It should be said that the concubines in the harem have united. After all, they have no husband and no children. If they want to live well, they can only rely on their mother's family gone?"
The quality of the concubines in Emperor Sejong's harem is incomparable to that of the early concubines of the Supreme Emperor. Most of the concubines in the early years of the Supreme Emperor were of good background. The concubines were very strict, which led to the fact that the early concubines of the Supreme Emperor were all honest and honest. Although they had different styles, they had their own demeanor and would not surpass them.
As for the concubines of the current Emperor Sejong, it is worth noting.
"They want to cultivate their natal family, so they use you as a stepping stone? They still want to get money from you and your siblings?"
"Correct!"
"Damn it! How long has the imperial court survived!"
"What's the matter! Just like this time, since the ages, how many dynasties have been attacked by soldiers? If it wasn't for the smallpox that caused heavy losses to the Mongols and women, I'm afraid they have broken into the city at this moment. Some people , After all, the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten!"
"so what should I do now?"
"What should we do? Naturally, we should teach the present to let those women lift stones and hit their feet."
And this time the consequences were more serious than the previous two times. In the previous two times, he was only paralyzed half of his body, and his hands were unable to hold things. But this time, the Supreme Emperor was unable to get off the ground.
Not only was he unable to get off the ground, but his mouth was crooked, and when he opened his mouth, the saliva dripped down. As for his hand, he couldn't hold the pen for a long time.
The Supreme Emperor panicked, he beat up the imperial physicians and the imperial physicians, and even killed two of them, but nothing improved.
Lying on the sickbed, the Supreme Emperor finally calmed down after losing his temper for a few days.
Now, there are only their grandparents and grandchildren in the royal family, and he is like this now. If he does something to Jia Qi, won't all the ministers be divorced from the royal family?In that case, will there still be ministers on the side of the royal family?
The Supreme Emperor suddenly discovered that he had no money to do anything to Jia Qi, and he even had to protect Jia Qi and Jia Qi's wife and children!
After thinking about this, the Taishanghuang didn't spit out a mouthful of old blood.
But what else can be done?The Supreme Emperor had no choice but to retract the previous order, and even sent someone to protect Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu. He also called his grandson to him and told him to listen to Jia Qi and learn from Jia Qi.
Seeing the unstoppable relaxation and smile on his grandson's face and his trust in Jia Qi, the Taishang Huang felt even more depressed.
When the Taishanghuang called the young emperor to give a lecture, Jia Qi was welcoming his wife back at the Tongzhou pier.
Lin Daiyu is still six months old, and her belly doesn't look big, but Lin Daiyu looks relaxed. Obviously, Lin Daiyu is also very happy to be able to conceive a child so soon.
As soon as the boat came to a stop, Jia Qi rushed up and into the cabin, first asked Lin Daiyu, then checked Lin Daiyu's expression, saw that Lin Daiyu was in good health and looked good, then gently touched Lin Daiyu's stomach, and said: "My child Will he trouble you? If he dares to trouble you, when he comes out, I will beat his ass!"
Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing: "Who didn't come here like this? If being a mother is hard, shouldn't you be the first to be beaten? According to your mischievous temperament, my wife may have suffered a lot."
Jia Qi also smiled: "That's true, I have to thank my wife well later."
Seeing this, You Ruo took those maids out, and closed the door considerately, leaving the space for Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu.
Seeing all the girls retreating, and even You Ruo guarding the door, Lin Daiyu said in a low voice: "It's so good, why did the Supreme Emperor suddenly promote me to be a knight? He also gave me the Huzhou Mansion as a fief? That’s a big city with an annual income of 2000 million! Even if I only take one out of 2000 out of the 100 million taxes, it’s still [-] million a year, and it’s still silver!”
Not to mention the princesses with different surnames, even if they are also the sons of the Supreme Emperor, how many have fiefdoms?There is a fief but no fief, even if it is the emperor's son, there is a world of difference!Not to mention, Huzhou Prefecture is such a wealthy city.
The Supreme Emperor gave himself the Huzhou Mansion as a fiefdom, and let himself enjoy the tax dividends from the Huzhou Mansion. I believe those royal princesses are already jealous, let alone those clan members.
If the Supreme Emperor still had a son, everyone would be very jealous.
Lin Daiyu is definitely not the kind of short-sighted person who thinks that with the emperor's favor, everything will be fine.Sometimes, too much favor is a bad thing.
Jia Qi said, "Don't worry about him."
Lin Daiyu couldn't help pinching him: "You still haven't told me the truth! Don't you know that I'm worried?"
Jia Qi had no choice but to whisper in Lin Daiyu's ear: "I don't know anything else, but I think the Supreme Emperor knew about the flowers that day. In addition, the Supreme Emperor did intend to praise and kill him before. But, then It’s also a thing of the past.”
"What do you mean?"
"It means that the Supreme Emperor had another stroke, and this time, the Supreme Emperor couldn't even get off the ground. Right now, he can only seek stability."
"Steady? Is the situation really so bad?"
Jia Qi nodded and said: "Yes. Although it was only a few months, Mongolia and Nvzhi mobilized no less than 20 people. While surrounding the capital, they also surrounded the capital north of the Yellow River, especially the capital city. The area has been cleaned many times, many cities, entire cities, entire cities have been killed, even those hidden on the ground of the cellar are no exception."
"how come?!"
"According to the news from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Jingzhao Mansion, there are only a few Zhuangzi left in the north of the Yellow River who are still popular, and the people from other places are only equivalent to the population of these Zhuangzi. That's all."
"I see."
Although it is said that she was pregnant for three years, but the pregnant Lin Daiyu would not forget her father's upbringing. Jia Qi didn't say that she could guess three points. Now, Jia Qi has told her so, Lin Daiyu What else do you not understand?
Obviously, the current imperial court does not have the strength to move Jia Qi, because only Jia Qi has someone in his hands, and most of these people trust Jia Qi more than the imperial court.
This is definitely a blow to the Supreme Emperor who exchanged national laws and regulations and national taxes for the name of benevolence, and it was a heavy blow.
Jia Qi is safe for at least ten years, at least until the young emperor is crowned.
As for those common people, only when Jia Qi is safe and sound, can Lin Daiyu take care of them.If Jia Qi had an emergency, Lin Daiyu would try her best to protect herself and her children, how could she have such a good mind to take care of other things?
Although she is already the Princess of Huzhou, Lin Daiyu knows better than anyone else that this world is a man's world after all, and Jia Qi helped her win the bit of power in her hands.
Jia Qi is her reliance.
The couple sat for a while longer, and then they took the honor guard of the princess and went home together.
This was the first time Lin Daiyu went home after she became the princess. Mother Jia asked someone to open the middle door and asked the juniors to wait at the door.
Although Lin Daiyu was already mentally prepared, when she saw Jia Baoyu and Shi Xiangyun, Lin Daiyu turned her face slightly.
Jia Baoyu's obsessed face and Shi Xiangyun's knife-like eyes told her that she might have to deal with the two of them in the days to come.
As soon as Jia Baoyu saw Lin Daiyu, he came over to bow to Lin Daiyu, Lin Daiyu could only smile and said, "Long time no see, why doesn't Second Cousin go to the front?"
Shi Xiangyun said angrily: "I heard that you are coming back, the old lady sent us out to meet you."
Lin Daiyu smiled and said: "The old lady is too polite, I am going back to my own home, why do I need so many rules?"
When Wang Xifeng and Zhang Shuya heard about it, they both laughed: "That's not true. My wife has already said that they are all from my own family and don't need these vain gifts. The old lady was angry and said that we were lazy. We had no choice but to come."
Wang Xifeng, Zhang Shuya, and Lin Daiyu were originally sisters-in-law. After seeing each other's family gifts, they helped Lin Daiyu go in from left to right. Jia Baoyu was about to follow, but was stopped by Jia Qi.
"Second Brother Bao, I got a second fan outside, Second Brother Bao, come with me to appreciate it?"
"Brother Qi, sister Lin just came home..."
Jia Baoyu wanted to say something, but he had to shut up under Jia Qi's sharp eyes.
Only then did he remember that both Jia Qi and Lin Daiyu were married, and even Lin Daiyu was pregnant with Jia Qi's child.
For a moment, Jia Baoyu felt melancholy.
They've all grown up and can't go back.In the past, he was still able to get along with his older sisters by relying on his young age and being favored by the old lady, but now, he had to choose time even to go to the old lady.
Jia Qi's hand was like an iron hoop, firmly grasping Jia Baoyu, and pulling him into a side hall for receiving guests - Jia Qi didn't even let Jia Baoyu go to his study, but directly chose This side hall——after the boys served tea, Jia Qi said slowly: "Second Brother Bao, Sister Yun is your wife. Sometimes, if you want to care about other people's wives, you might as well pay more attention." own wife."
Jia Baoyu became irritable at that time.
He really wanted to say that he didn't like Shi Xiangyun at all. He wanted to say that he had always regarded Shi Xiangyun as his younger sister and never thought of marrying Shi Xiangyun as his wife. He wanted to say that his wife should be like Lin Daiyu, but when he looked up, he saw Jia Qi's cold eyes made him startled, and he finally lowered his head.
It took a long time before I heard Jia Baoyu whisper: "Brother Qi, you and Sister Lin, okay?"
Jia Qi said: "Nature is excellent. Sister Lin and I grew up together, reading and playing together. Whether it's poetry, songs or historical miscellaneous notes, they are our common hobbies. Even food, Our tastes are also exactly the same. Brother Bao, isn't it the same for you and Sister Yun?"
Jia Baoyu said: "I... I am different from Yun'er."
Jia Qi said: "It's different? I remember that Brother Bao and Sister Yun were also childhood sweethearts. Every time Sister Yun came to our house, she always played with Brother Bao and rarely paid attention to me and my third brother. It is also tight to the second brother Bao and the maids in the house of the second brother Bao. Even a ring is also to be tight to the girl of the second brother Bao. The second brother Bao loves red, and sister Yun also likes to wear red very much. Brother Bao second I like to be lively, and so does Sister Yun, even if it's just the two of you, wherever you go, it's always lively..."
"No, Yun'er and I are not what you think at all."
"Oh? Not like? Why not? Back then, Second Brother Bao and Sister Yun were recognized as a couple. Otherwise, why would the old lady propose to marry Sister Yun for Second Brother Bao?"
"Stop talking!" Jia Baoyu stood up abruptly, and said, "You married a fairy woman like Sister Lin, so naturally..."
"What is nature?" Jia Qi slammed the tureen in his hand on the coffee table, and said, "If you didn't covet my wife, do you think I would talk nonsense to you here? Don’t know the taboo, dare to say anything, aunt will betroth Sister Lin to you? Don’t forget, when aunt just left and Sister Lin came to our house for the first time, what the hell were you wearing? You are all red! Aunt really wants to betroth Sister Lin to you, and Aunt will not be able to live in peace under the nine springs!"
"I……"
Jia Baoyu was sad and wronged.
When Jia Min died, no one told him at all.
"No one told you?"
Jia Qi suddenly approached Jia Baoyu, his breath almost sprayed on Jia Baoyu's face, which startled Jia Baoyu.
"What did the old lady go all the way to pick up Sister Lin from Yangzhou? Do you think the old lady is full?" Jia Qi said, "Not only when my aunt passed away, but also when my uncle passed away. , you are in red again! If you want to see Sister Lin, can’t you consider how Sister Lin just lost her father? Even if you don’t have white clothes, you can change into blue ones! As a result! On Jin Chuan’er’s anniversary, you Did you remember to change your clothes? My aunt is dead, and when you get to Sister Lin, you’ll forget all about it, right?” Jia Qi grabbed Jia Baoyu’s collar.
"I, I, I..."
Jia Baoyu almost cried from fright.
Jia Qi let go of Jia Baoyu bitterly, and said, "Don't say that the old lady doesn't love you, you know better than anyone how the old lady treats you and us. If the wife is partial, you are not qualified. Don't blame Sister Lin for never paying attention to you, those girls in your house want to please you, but Sister Lin has no need to indulge you. "
Jia Baoyu suddenly said: "But, but I don't want to marry Yun'er..."
Jia Qi said: "The Yun'er you are talking about, is it your friend you met outside, or is it Sister Yun?"
"Eh?"
"Don't think I don't know. When you are drinking with Feng Ziying and the others, you like to ask Yun'er's singer to sing, don't you? Even Big Brother Xue once said this! You used to be called Sister Yun When you were young, you always called me Sister Yun, now, who do you mean by Yun'er?"
"I, of course, is Sister Yun."
"You can call Sister Yun by the name of the singer, Brother Bao, I really feel sorry for Sister Yun." Jia Qi looked at Jia Baoyu who was stunned suddenly, and said: "As long as you have a little heart, it is for Sister Yun. Yes, Sister Yun will not become like this. I remember you once said that a woman is a pearl when she is not married, but after a long time of marriage, she becomes a dead fish eye. Brother Bao , when Sister Yun was not married to you, she was also a pearl held in the palm of someone's hand, and who turned her into a dead fish eye? It was you, Brother Bao."
Looking at Jia Baoyu who was so stupid, Jia Qi snorted, called two women to come and guard the door, and went back to the room by herself.
If it weren't for the worry that Jia Baoyu would pester his wife, Jia Qi wouldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with Jia Baoyu.
On the other side, after Lin Daiyu greeted Jia Mu, she quickly withdrew from Jia Mu's room and went back to her room to rest.
Although it is much easier to go by boat than by land, it is better to go out than to be at home, not to mention that she is now a double body, and she cannot be tired, so once she resigned, Jia Mu did not keep her, but made people wait on her carefully. .
When Lin Daiyu returned to her room, she saw Jia Qi holding a book and reading it under the window. What is it if it is not Lin Daiyu's manuscript?
Seeing that Lin Daiyu was back, Jia Qi quickly helped Lin Daiyu to sit on the bed, and removed the shoes and socks for his wife who was handicapped so that she could lie down comfortably. , Said: "It's all my fault, my sister's body is heavy, and I let my sister worry about it."
Lin Daiyu recognized that it was her own manuscript, and said with a smile: "After reading your manuscript, I also have something to gain. I have nothing to do, so I wrote a few strokes. It's just that it can't be more detailed. I I can't bother now, when the child comes out, I will change it properly."
Seeing that You Ruo led all the maids to leave, Lin Daiyu just said: "A Qi, I am very happy that you are doing well."
Jia Qi took Lin Daiyu's hand and rubbed it on her face. Like a cat, she narrowed her eyes and said, "I will be fine just for you."
"Ok, I know."
Even though Lin Daiyu is back, Jia Qi can still pick her up in person. In fact, Jia Qi is really busy.Just like when he chose to go to the newly established Shanghai Prefecture, in terms of tricks, he must not be able to play with old people like Qi Qian and Liang Jian, but Qi Qian is Jia Yue's father-in-law, and Liang Jian is also famous. The justice will do things.
Liang Jian knew very well that there were only three political advisers in the cabinet right now, Qi Qian, him, and Jia Qi.Needless to say, Qi Qian is in charge of the household department, in fact, he is in charge of the treasury and money bags for the emperor; Liang Jian is in charge of the official department, which is equivalent to controlling the appointment and removal of officials in the world, and it is his job to help the emperor ensure the stability of the court. Although Jia Qi also participates in political affairs, what Jia Qi needs to be responsible for is outside the capital. Restoring prosperity to the north of the Yellow River and even the whole world is Jia Qi's task.
Liang Jian is a cautious and smart person, so he never gets stuck with Jia Qi.
The three political advisers have a good personal relationship with each other, and they also take care of them in their daily work. This made the Supreme Emperor happy and worried, but also made the ministers below puzzled.
The following ministers are not only from the time when the Daxing Emperor was in power, some senior officials were even able to enter the Jinluan Palace when the Taishang Emperor was in power. The appearance of harmony, now these three are in harmony, taking care of each other, they are really not used to the situation where there are many things and discussions.
It's not that they haven't tried to complain to the emperor or even the Supreme Emperor, but the emperor doesn't believe it at all, and there are also the Supreme Emperor. After the Supreme Emperor heard the news, he simply dismissed these people.
Although the Taishanghuang was not used to it, he also knew that the current court would not be turbulent, and the energy in Jia Qi's hands really frightened the Taishanghuang.
When Jia Qi got the consent of the Supreme Emperor and bought land in the north of the Yellow River, the Supreme Emperor knew that Jia Qi's power would usher in a period of rapid expansion.But the Taishanghuang never expected that the power in Jia Qi's hands would expand so quickly.
If there were traversers, he would definitely be able to see that Jia Qi's method was a typical large farm-style centralized management.Although there is no modern high-tech, and there is no modern machinery, the people still trust Jia Qi, and some refugees are not even willing to read the government's announcements about giving away houses, land and farm tools, and go directly to Jia Qi's Zhuangzi .
On Jia Qi’s Zhuangzi, people who are good at doing farm work are naturally doing farm work, but there are only a few days when the farming is busy. For the rest of the day, these people can go to the workshop on Zhuangzi to find work, whether it is to work in the textile workshop Or go to other workshops to do odd jobs, which are more secure and paid more than those provided by the government.
More importantly, if you work for Jia Qi, you are not afraid of the government's wanton increase in population tax!
Especially this last point is more important than anything else.
When Shaodi heard about this, he sat silently under the window for a long time.
The first time Jia Qi mentioned this to him, Shaodi had only heard about it, and he didn't understand it at all, let alone really understood it.But when he heard that the people would rather work for Jia Qi than the houses and fields provided by the government, Shaodi understood better than anyone that the per capita tax was too much for the people.
After thinking about it for two full days, the young emperor finally nodded and agreed, exempting the population tax owed to the imperial court by various places in the past.
That is to say, in Shanxi Province, it is fine to pay the population tax owed for 50 years in the past, as long as it is enough to pay this year's tax from now on.
At the same time, Shaodi was also thinking about what Jia Qi said about letting women pay taxes.
When Jia Qi asked women to pay taxes, he was attacked by many moralists, not to mention those sand pigs who looked down on women, even many enlightened officials shook their heads.Women have to pay taxes, which means giving women land, otherwise they have nothing to pay taxes.But there is only so little land in this world, and it is not enough to distribute it to men. How can it be distributed to women?
Jia Qi's reason is that if the land is not distributed to women, will it always be enough?Furthermore, if women do not pay taxes, all taxes can only be borne by men, which means that the small tax that could have been shared equally between two people can only be concentrated on one man.Women do not pay taxes, men may only pay nine taels of silver alone, and women start to pay taxes, which means that men only need to pay their own part, maybe only five taels a year, and it will not be so hard.
More importantly, women also need to pay taxes, and naturally they will not be looked down upon when they go out to work, and as long as women can earn money to supplement their families, the people will not drown baby girls, the population will not be out of balance, and the country will recover more quickly.
The ministers quarreled in front of the young emperor. Some people said that there was no such precedent. Jia Qi said that in the Tang Dynasty, women had the right to pay taxes. Why is there no precedent?Some people said that this is not in line with the ancestral system. Jia Qi said that the ancestral system of this dynasty does not prohibit women from paying taxes. The ancestral system only stipulates the rules for men to pay taxes, and the rules for women's taxes are silent. .
All the ministers quarreled in front of the young emperor, and the young emperor had to stop these ministers and ask them why one by one.
Those people were naturally discussing the facts, saying that they felt that Jia Qi had a problem with this chapter.
However, Jia Qi began to explain to Shao Di that the reason for his doing so was that apart from the high per capita tax, Jia Qi also emphasized that in the years of peace, a large number of baby girls were drowned by common people, resulting in more men than women and fewer women among the people. Two, 30 years old and still unable to marry a wife, this is a great pressure on the population, this is one of them.
Second, when women do not pay taxes, most workshops will hesitate to use women, fearing that the family members of the female workers will make trouble.But if women also start paying taxes, the workshop will be able to tell the families of the female workers that they pay taxes legally.Moreover, compared with using women, using women saves money and pays less taxes. In this way, women are more willing to use women workers in workshops, and women will find jobs in workshops more easily than men.This is conducive to ensuring the number of women.
The Shaoqing of the Jingzhao Mansion was the first to agree with Jia Qi.
After each war, the number of women always worried the court, but without women, how could the population increase in a short period of time?
Population is also a major achievement of local officials.
For the feudal dynasty, there are always only two important things in a country, the country and the population.
New laws were quickly passed.Because no servants of high-ranking families were involved, this law did not meet much opposition.Because everyone knows that now the country must first recover.
Just when Jia Qi was racking his brains and arguing with the court officials in order to restore prosperity to the Yellow River Basin and the areas north of the Yellow River, news came from Jiangnan that Jiangnan was in chaos.
In fact, it is not that Jiangnan is in chaos, but that Jinling is in chaos.
At the beginning, when Zhen Yingjia led people to attack Huzhou Prefecture and wanted to capture Jia Qi, it was the idea of attacking the tax bank of Shanghai Prefecture and Jia Qi's property. Those rich families in Jinling wanted to get rich, and no one wanted to be left behind. In the back, everyone is afraid of being excluded from the final division of interests.Therefore, when besieging the capital of Huzhou, most of Zhen Yingjia's team were the patriarchs of Jinling's powerful clan, or the leaders of some forces in Jinling or even in the south of the Yangtze River.
In the end, Zhen Yingjia was hit by the trick and was under the power of smallpox, let alone the others.Those people were either infected with smallpox, or they were exterminated by Jia Qi's men, or they escaped back to Jinling by luck, and brought smallpox back to Jinling.
Soon, Jinling, like the capital, became a dead city.What's worse is that the capital is still the imperial capital anyway, and neither the Taishang Emperor nor the Daxing Emperor is anything to be trifled with. In addition to the idea of supremacy of imperial power for thousands of years, apart from the demon of smallpox, there has been no incident of people attacking the palace city. Condition.
But Jinling is different. The Zhen family is called the Emperor of Earth in Jinling, but they do not have the prestige of the royal family, and the Jinling government directly turned the pot on the Zhen family's head, and those refugees rushed forward under the instigation of caring people. Entered Zhen's house.Not to mention the girls of the Zhen family who are like the vice-misses, even the decent wives and grandmas of the Zhen family have suffered, and the warehouse of the Zhen family has been completely moved.
It is said that the old lady of the Zhen family was overly frightened and disappeared.
Qi Qian immediately asked Jia Qi: "Jia Zhiyuan, I heard that Shanghai Prefecture was once under siege, is there such a thing?"
Jia Qi didn't deny it either: "Yes. At that time, I just received the imperial edict from King Qin and was preparing to assemble the navy to go north, but I learned that Zhen Yingjia led the troops. I will not find anything wrong. Later, Zhen Yingjia robbed my Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Huzhou Prefecture but did not attack Huzhou Prefecture. Mr. Shi Zhan, Chief of the Shanghai Palace."
Immediately, someone impeached Jia Qi in public.
Someone nearby said: "My lord's words are strange. Since Zhen Yingjia received the imperial edict from King Qin, why didn't she go north to King Qin? Instead, she went south to Shanghai Prefecture? This Zhen Yingjia was originally a person who could be punished, so what is the difference with Jia Zhiyuan?" What? As for Jia Zhiyuan’s departure from Huzhou Mansion, it was also because he received the imperial edict from King Qin. Besides, Jia Zhiyuan left his wife in the south, and Ma Shoubei and Mr. Zhan’s performance is also excellent. And the facts have also proved that Jia The prefect’s judgment was correct.”
The minister's defense immediately aroused the agreement of a large group of courtiers.
When Emperor Shao saw this, he began to ask the opinions of the ministers. These ministers were full of spirits when they gave advice, but when they heard the question from Emperor Shao, some people flinched. They did not dare to go south because they were afraid that their small bodies would not be able to defeat smallpox. The power is that they are afraid that the rioters in the south will kill them.
Only the Minister of the Ministry of War stood up and reminded the emperor not only to pay attention to Jinling, but also to other places:
"Long live, although I'm not sure, but I guess, Zhen Yingjia surrounded Huzhou, but did not choose to attack the city immediately. It should be that smallpox broke out in his army, so he had to shelve the plan. Jia Zhiyuan It was a fluke to be able to leave the Huzhou Mansion. If the minister's guess is true, I'm afraid smallpox has already spread in the south of the Yangtze River."
The young emperor immediately looked at Jia Qi, and Jia Qi said: "Long live, the adults of the Imperial Hospital should have the most authority on smallpox."
However, the Supreme Hospital has just cut off a group of people by the Supreme Emperor, and the remaining few directly said that their medical skills are limited, and their research on smallpox is not as good as that of a certain person, and then comforted the Emperor: Basically, most infectious diseases will occur in winter. Quit the flags and drums.Now that winter is over, the smallpox situation in the south should be brought under control.
The Minister of the Ministry of War immediately said that he was worried about whether there would be a rebellion in the south. If smallpox broke out on a large scale in the south, then even if there was a rebellion in the south, the scale would not be very large.The minister of the Ministry of War said that he hoped that the young emperor could send someone to the south to have a look.
But Qi Qian immediately reminded the emperor that at this juncture, if he wants to send people south, he must not let the imperial envoy go south with a few entourages to suppress the rebellious army and provide food and medicine for the people.
Another relevant official asked the emperor to exempt this year's tax. The reason is that smallpox is rampant and the population has been greatly reduced. It will overwhelm the people.
Immediately, there was objection from the doctor of the household department. The large reduction in taxes would affect the income of the imperial court and also affect the operation of the imperial court.
The young emperor was in trouble.
This time, Gyeonggi was almost completely wiped out by the Mongols and Nvzhi, and the people north of the Yellow River were almost completely wiped out, let alone the so-called local grassroots management.
Previously, the imperial court had gone to great lengths to stabilize the capital, and the places outside the capital could only be handed over to Jia Qi.Now, it is said that something happened in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the entire Yangtze River Basin and the area south of the Yangtze River may have a rebellious party. After all, the young emperor was young and immediately panicked.
He couldn't help but ask Jia Qi for advice.
Jia Qi did not answer the emperor directly, but asked the emperor to meet the Supreme Emperor and ask for his opinion.
Shao Di was surprised.
Although the Taishanghuang has changed his words, the Taishanghuang's defense and evil thoughts towards Jia Qi have always been clearly imprinted in the young emperor's heart, and the people around the young emperor are all arranged by the Taishanghuang, that is, the Taishanghuang no longer explicitly expresses his defense against Jia Qi And evil thoughts, but there are still people who speak ill of Jia Qi around the young emperor, including court ladies, eunuchs, and every time he goes to pay respects to Emperor Sejong's concubines, the performance of those women makes the young emperor have to think deeply.
All mouths make gold,
Many times, these four words are a cruel reality.
Although the time was not very long, it was enough to make Shaodi suspicious of Jia Qi. Shaodi thought that when he consulted Jia Qi, Jia Qi would take the opportunity to put forward a series of suggestions and develop his power by the way.The young emperor never expected that Jia Qi would ask him to ask the Supreme Emperor.
For the Supreme Emperor, the Young Emperor must have trusted him, so the Young Emperor chose to retire after a short silence.
In the evening of that day, Jia Lian went to the cabinet and took his younger brother home.
In the past few years in the officialdom, Jia Lian has already trained, and he will not think that the Jia family is the best in the world like Wang Xifeng before.In the Golden Luan Hall, Jia Qi clearly felt everyone's malice towards Jia Qi.
Jia Lian took his younger brother home, hoping to get his father's guidance and help.
Jia Amnesty was taken aback when he heard that Shao Di was also wary of Jia Qi.Jia Amnesty is someone who has experienced big scenes, so he naturally knows what it means.
Historically, there were not one or two assistant ministers and ministers who were killed. If the young emperor really wanted to deal with Jia Qi, he might do so before he took charge.
Instead, Jia Qi, after listening to his brother's words and seeing his father's expression, said calmly: "Father, these sons already knew about it. In fact, when Sister Lin was named princess, I already knew that the Supreme Emperor wanted to I'm going to flatter and kill me. As for Long Live, there should be too many people saying these things in his ears, which made him start to doubt me. And to be able to make such an arrangement..."
Jia Lian gritted his teeth: "The Supreme Emperor!"
Apart from the Supreme Emperor, Jia Lian couldn't think of another person.
Besides the Supreme Emperor, who else has such control over the harem?
Jia Qi said: "It's not just his idea. It should be said that the concubines in the harem have united. After all, they have no husband and no children. If they want to live well, they can only rely on their mother's family gone?"
The quality of the concubines in Emperor Sejong's harem is incomparable to that of the early concubines of the Supreme Emperor. Most of the concubines in the early years of the Supreme Emperor were of good background. The concubines were very strict, which led to the fact that the early concubines of the Supreme Emperor were all honest and honest. Although they had different styles, they had their own demeanor and would not surpass them.
As for the concubines of the current Emperor Sejong, it is worth noting.
"They want to cultivate their natal family, so they use you as a stepping stone? They still want to get money from you and your siblings?"
"Correct!"
"Damn it! How long has the imperial court survived!"
"What's the matter! Just like this time, since the ages, how many dynasties have been attacked by soldiers? If it wasn't for the smallpox that caused heavy losses to the Mongols and women, I'm afraid they have broken into the city at this moment. Some people , After all, the scar is healed and the pain is forgotten!"
"so what should I do now?"
"What should we do? Naturally, we should teach the present to let those women lift stones and hit their feet."
