Empress Han

The sacrifice to the sky was carried out faithfully, but the imaginable auspicious snow heralds a good harvest did not appear. Although it was cold, it was still dry.Experienced old farmers know that in such weather, the next year will definitely reduce production. After a severe drought, there will probably be a severe flood. Those tenant farmers are all worried. question.

The Great Farming Order has written a memorial to state its disadvantages. It is recommended to store and allocate grain immediately. The warm places in the south must catch up with the spring to plant more millet, so that some grain can be stored in advance.Water conservancy facilities also need to be repaired. Many canals were built in the pre-Qin period. Although they are still strong, they must be repaired and deepened. The dikes really burst. The drowned people and the ensuing plague are simply a nightmare.

The emperor scolded Taichang, who was in charge of choosing the auspicious day, and resigned tremblingly, "The old minister is old and lacks energy, and he didn't choose a better date for your majesty. You are guilty."

Taichang knew that his position would not be able to be kept sooner or later since the weather was always sunny after offering sacrifices to heaven.Originally, when I was old, I wanted to resign, but I just wanted to finish the last few months and resign in a good way.

Every time, if offering sacrifices to heaven is effective, it is because the emperor is wise and decisive. If it is not effective, it must be because of villains, or other reasons. In short, the emperor must be without mistakes and must be wise and decisive, so this pot, he only If he could choose to memorize it, he still has descendants who are going to be officials, and the majesty in front of him is far from being as big and tolerant as the first emperor, so that's all, just memorize it, but it's a pity that the reputation of this body is completely gone.

The emperor was a little guilty. It wasn't that there was no other option at that time. If he really chose that one, he didn't need to take the blame too often, but who made him not choose it.

After saying a few words, I accepted the resignation too often, which is already the limit of what the emperor can do. This matter can be big or small. , It's a pity that God doesn't give face.

The emperor returned to the harem with a full belly, and went to see the ruler first. The ruler also knew what happened before, but he didn't expect that it would end with Taichang's resignation. But as a woman, the biggest advantage is that she is careful. The emperor may have forgotten that King Lian once stored a large amount of grain and grass for rebellion, but because he was besieged, he could not get supplies at all and was eventually breached, but the other granaries were still well preserved. The emperor probably forgot about this matter. It is conceivable that the tens of thousands of troops stored by King Lian for the rebellion will always be able to relieve the urgent needs of the people affected by the disaster. As long as there is no constant drought, there will always be some harvest next year. reserves, at least not to the extent of the civil uprising.

The ruler is not someone who only wants to achieve his own goals and doesn't even want the bottom line of moral conscience, but the people will never know this kind of news two days later, and many of them don't even know that there are quite a few places They are all short of water and drought, and the emperor and ministers in the temple, if no one even thinks of this, she will not believe it, just forget it for a while, but this buffer time is enough for her to do something, the opportunity given by God If you don't cherish it, wouldn't it make Fu Yao happy.

The gentleness and gentleness of the emperor made the emperor feel much calmer, "Sure enough, you can feel more comfortable with the emperor. Those old officials, one by one, always feel that I am not as good as my father. There is a severe drought in the world, and I also pray to the heavens." My God, although it hasn’t snowed in half a month, I can’t help it, I’ve thought about everything I can think of, such as food storage, land reclamation, water conservancy, what else is there?”

The ruler brought a cup of tea to the emperor, "Your Majesty is known to be diligent in politics. I believe that several adults are also out of public interest and thinking for His Majesty. It's a pity that this large-scale sacrifice to the sky failed to ask for snow. I don't know what will happen in the coming year." Concubine I have an idea, if the common people are in trouble, the royal family should take the lead in setting an example, it is better for the concubines to reduce the expenses of the harem, and it would be cheaper for His Majesty to use the remaining money to build water conservancy projects, so as to cover up those false rumors among the people."

The emperor thought for a while, "This is not bad. Originally, each level of the harem has a fixed amount of expenses, and most of them are inexhaustible. There are more than 20 dishes at a time, and even I can't eat a few mouthfuls. It would be good if I could save some."

The emperor never thought that there are fixed numbers for each level of the harem, and the emperor and empress naturally don't need them, but those with seven sons and eight sons, how many vegetables and meat they have every month, how many pots of ice in summer, and the amount of carbon are all fixed numbers, beauty You can’t even use smokeless silver frost charcoal, you can only use black charcoal, silver flake charcoal, not to mention the smoke, it’s not very warm.I have to manage it every month, but I can't save anything.Men usually have no impression of these things. Of course he doesn't know who is not well-dressed in front of him.

The ruler did not intend to turn himself into a public enemy. "Your Majesty, there are many high-ranking concubines, so it's okay to save some. Those seven sons and eight sons are enough, but they are unnecessary. In addition, the concubines feel that they can release a group of palace ladies. These court ladies can go home and get together with their parents to share the family relationship. On the other hand, they can also save money. There are too many newcomers in this palace every year. It is better to choose every two years. Those who are over 25 years old can be released as long as they want to go home. how."

The emperor waved his hand, "It's up to you, the ruler, but don't let it go too much, so that people in the world feel that the palace can't afford to support maids."

The ruler nodded, "there are a lot of ministers and concubines. Moreover, the ministers and concubines have prepared a lot of things. When they turn around, they will be sent to the inner treasury. His majesty will send them to the Ministry of household affairs, so that the old ministers can see that his majesty is always worried about the people. Woolen cloth."

The emperor disagreed, "I just take it out of the inner treasury, and yours are all your own Zhuangzi, and you can keep them for yourself, just as much as you have."

The ruler just put the account books on the table, "Your Majesty can underestimate your concubines, and your Majesty will know what your concubines have at a glance."

The emperor flipped through it casually, paused, and the speed of the flipping was much faster, "Why do you have so many, I remember that the Zhuangzi's shop that was counted as a dowry was about three times that of this, it has only been so long, and you have earned After spending so much, these cloth things are very useful, it's hard for you to think so thoughtfully."

The ruler said, "Your Majesty, you and I are one. Isn't your majesty's problem the concubine's problem? The concubine is only thinking of your majesty. The concubine is a harem girl. Although she wants to help the people, if you don't have your majesty's help, How can the concubine's wish come true?"

The emperor suddenly felt that he was worthy of being my empress. Compared with those concubines, they were different. They only wanted to visit me all day long, wanting positions, rewards, and treasures, but no one wanted to share his worries, but the empress Caring for the common people, and taking care of his face, a good wife and a husband with few misfortunes, what more can a husband ask for if he has a wife like this.

The emperor, who was in a good mood, didn't want to go back to face the pile of memorials. Anyway, he had no other urgent matters other than this, so he stayed with Pingkang to play and have lunch by the way.As a result, I was disturbed before the meal was finished. It was said that the relatives of the concubine broke the law and clamored for the parents to beat the innocent person to death. As a result, the local parents really locked him up in order to please the so-called favorite concubine. The incident of the local people's fierce and violent collision with the county government was reported to the capital, and the emperor was asked to make a decision.

The emperor slammed his chopsticks immediately, "I want to see whose relatives ate the bear's heart and leopard's guts, so they don't want to die."

As soon as the emperor left, Zheng Jun asked someone to withdraw the lunch, and called Yun Shu over, "Are you sure we have nothing left to finish?"

Yun Shu also replied in a low voice, "Mother, servants are paying attention, besides, that family has done those things in the first place, we just let the cover not cover it, no one will find out that we lifted the cover of."

"That's good." Yun Shu looked outside at the direction the emperor was leaving, "The emperor must have a headache this time."

Yun Shu looked at her nose, nose, nose, and heart without making a sound, nor did she answer.But Zhengjun didn't want her to answer at all.
