Chapter 684
"Hmph!" The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "He would better keep it like this and dare to instigate you. The Ai family will not tolerate him."
"Fortunately, the ancestors had been on guard. In order to prevent the princess from interfering in politics, they all married poor children. The prince-in-law could not have high-ranking officials and generous salaries, and they would cut off their careers." The empress dowager said with comfort.
"It's good to let Prince Chen accompany me to study! It's hard for many people to see me." Emperor Yongtai said with his clear and bright eyes looking at her.
The empress dowager looked at the innocent man with dark eyes, “I am granted a marquis and ministers to be the prime minister, shining the family lintel, and the ultimate dream of a man is extinguished like this. Do you think he will complain?”
"The princesses of the emperor's sister have no complaints, they are happy to look at it." Emperor Yongtai said casually when he heard this.
"Those who only want to hug each other, have beautiful wives and concubines, have no ambitions, and are different from him." The Empress Dowager said in a word.
"Do you don't care about the mother's princesses taking concubines? This is a royal princess, how can you suffer this grievance?" Emperor Yongtai said dissatisfied.
"You will cherish your princesses." The empress dowager looked at him in surprise and said, "What is the matter between the Ai family involved in the affairs of the young couple? If you sue me, the Ai family will definitely have to take care of it. But some even take the initiative to help their husband ask for a concubine. Why should the Ai family be that evil person?" He was so angry that he couldn't help, "Things that can't be supported on the wall."
"I thought you agreed to it!" Emperor Yongtai looked at her in disbelief and said.
"As long as the couple doesn't make too much trouble and is well known, the Ai family will not care about their family's affairs." The empress dowager said with a cold look at him.
"Then I'm going to get married, my mother won't care about my affairs in the room!" Emperor Yongtai suddenly looked at her and asked.
"Your wife must be wholeheartedly on you, and you must have the demeanor of being a mother in the world, rather than being selfish and only considering the interests of your family." The Empress Dowager said bluntly, "The Ai family does not want to marry a wife from you."
Emperor Yongtai smiled and said, "My mother said it simple, but not that easy. No one jumped out of the crack of the stone."
"Mother, the emperor girls seem to be much more courageous." Emperor Yongtai said with a smile.
"Yes!" the queen mother nodded with relief.
"You knew that those nannies were holding on to the emperor's sister before, why didn't you take action?" Emperor Yongtai asked curiously.
"The dignified royal princess is so embarrassed to be controlled by the slaves." The queen mother looked at him with a dark face and said, "They didn't ask for help themselves, and even covered up the matters between this young couple. If the Ai family has been in charge of too much, they may even be said to be meddling in other people's business."
He snorted coldly, "See yourself that some dare to make their family scandals public, and some even think it's normal!"
"Don't be angry, don't be angry," Emperor Yongtai quickly persuaded.
"The Ai family is not angry." The empress dowager snorted. She was not the biological child of the Ai family. With her mother here, why bother with the Ai family!
"My mother, I want to touch the borers under my nose." Emperor Yongtai said, looking at her with ice.
"It's just because I've moved. The Ai family thought you'll take action if you know it." The Empress Dowager said with a smile on her face.
"I haven't moved before, but I haven't thought about their place to go." Yongtai Di looked at her with his eyes like an ancient well, and said, "So many people have to think of relocating them, otherwise there will be trouble."
"Have you thought about how to resettle them?" the queen mother looked at him with interest and asked.
"Go to dry the salt." Emperor Yongtai said with his interesting eyes looking at her.
"Salt dry?" the queen mother looked at him in confusion and said, "Why do you think of this?"
"Salt merchants are so hateful." Emperor Yongtai said all the evil deeds of the salt merchants he found, without breathing. It can be seen that he had been holding them for a long time.
"The late emperor also had a headache about these things, but he didn't dare to move. It was very involved, and the whole Jiangnan was in chaos." The empress dowager looked at him with a serious expression and said, "Don't act rashly."
"I didn't touch the salt merchant! I feel sympathetic about the people's difficulty in buying salt. It's expensive to buy salt. Is it okay to make more salt?" Emperor Yongtai looked at her with a light eyebrows and said, "Love the people as if they were children, you must have a specific manifestation!"
The Queen Mother looked at him in amazement and said incrediblely, "When did you speak so sarcastically?"
"Mother, my son is sincere. What does it mean to be sarcastic!" Emperor Yongtai said, looking at her straight back.
"They will stop you from doing this." The Queen Mother said calmly.
"It's okay if they don't know." Yongtaidi said simply and easily.
The Queen Mother looked at him and said, "There is no fire left in the world. There is no airtight wall, let alone so many people."
"The civil and military officials were only happy when they saw the eunuch being punished! When they came back, the person had been taken away." Emperor Yongtai snorted, "You should send exiles to the frontier!"
"I heard that you wouldn't kill everyone!" the queen mother looked at him in surprise and asked.
"I give them the opportunity to make meritorious contributions and see if they explain things, and whether it is useful." Emperor Yongtai said calmly, "But I will not let go of the evil one. I need them to establish their authority and soothe people's hearts."
The emperor was much more mature, and the empress dowager looked at him with relief and complained in her heart.
"This Jiangnan is a place with heavy taxes, so it cannot be chaotic." The empress dowager looked at him seriously and said.
"My mother, those sycamore, the group of son-country swindlers paid only 5 million taels of silver last year, but do you know how much sea trade has been in the past three years since I ascended the throne?" Emperor Yongtai said gritting his teeth, "Over 100 million taels of silver."
"Cough cough..." The queen mother was so shocked that she coughed.
"My Mother." Emperor Yongtai said to her worriedly, picking up the teacup and saying, "My Mother, drink water quickly."
The Queen Mother took the teacup he handed over, and the teacup was shaking with jingling sounds.
It can be seen that it was really shocked.
Seeing this, Emperor Yongtai quickly took the teacup from her hand and brought it directly to the empress dowager's mouth.
The Queen Mother took two sips of the teacup he brought, and her breath went smoothly, and her face turned red, "Why are there so many?"
"They don't let me open the maritime ban, but they make a fortune." Emperor Yongtai squeezed out a sentence from his teeth and said, "A despicable villain."
"This ancestor's law is unchangeable." The empress dowager said cowardly when she was hit.
"The unchanging result of the law of our ancestors is that we are bound to move, but we can take advantage of loopholes." Emperor Yongtai was so angry that he slapped the kang table, and all the tea cups and saucers on it jumped three times.
The queen mother looked at her angry son and said, "What do you want? This is not easy to deal with?"
Emperor Yongtai calmed down and said for a long time, "I know, get more salt from the source first, so that the salt can no longer be so deformed."
"You have dig up other people's roots like this, and they have a fuss. Not only merchants, but also people related to the court." The Empress Dowager frowned and said, looking at him.
