Tang Queqing left the East Palace with full of joy and expectation and hurried forward.
The managers of various departments and bureaus in the palace who stayed in the East Palace did not dare to stay. They each remembered what they had to do recently and left on their own.
The concubine is a kind-hearted person, but she never lacks means.
He said that the last time there was a banquet in the palace, Concubine Taisun had said hello in advance, but some people still wanted to enrich themselves. Afterwards, Concubine Taisun didn't say anything, she just said "kill him", and that night there were more people outside Xuanwu Gate.
A puddle of flesh and blood.
After this time, no one dared to treat this concubine who was always friendly and kind to others, but whenever something happened, she would resort to violent means to deal with it with half a degree of hypocrisy, and she always handled things seriously and attentively.
It has been a long-standing practice in the palace to deduct one tael, save one tael, and issue one tael.
Since the Grand Concubine has pointed this out today, it means that she knows the reason for this incident. If someone else still acts like this as usual, I am afraid there will be another puddle of flesh and blood outside the Xuanwu Gate.
A few smart people have vaguely speculated that since the concubine took over the affairs of the palace, she has never taken the initiative to mention any rules. I am afraid she is just waiting for them to jump out one by one, so that she can use this to establish her authority and establish herself.
prestige.
And Tang Queqing did exactly that.
On the way to Qianqing Palace, Tang Queqing walked lightly.
Sun Gou'er followed, reminding Concubine Taisun to be careful where she steps from time to time.
This is the most noble woman in the palace, no one dares to neglect her.
Even the ladies in the harem, although they are elders, are still a little polite on weekdays, for fear that in the long days to come, they will offend the concubine and live an uneasy life.
"Sun Daban, before the new year comes, I still have some things here that my grandson gave me to me. They are not worth much, but the best thing is that they are all fresh things sent back from Jiaozhi Road. Sun Daban will be able to take them with him when the time comes.
Go home and show your nephews and nephews something new."
Sun Gou'er bowed with a smile on his face: "Old slave, I would like to thank my grandson and grandson concubine. The nobles are all rich in gold, so I can still remember the slaves and maids."
Tang Queqing walked softly and gracefully, with a graceful look on his face: "There is no such thing as a noble person. If Sun Daban wasn't supported and protected by you, where would the gold and gold come from?"
Sun Gou'er nodded, and the smile on his face became brighter: "Your Majesty mentioned something to me before. If someone in the palace has any suspicion, and it's hard for Concubine Taisun to speak out, she can just ask someone to tell me.
It’s so that there won’t be any resentment in this palace.”
"It is better to be harmonious inside and outside the palace." Tang Queqing always spoke slowly and slowly, which made people feel kind: "If it were not for the dignity and propriety of the royal family, it would be better to be more lenient."
Sun Gouer smiled and nodded, but said nothing.
But he understood what Concubine Taisun meant.
The dignity and propriety of the royal family cannot be ruined, so the palace can only treat the people below with less mercy and more rules and regulations.
Sun Gou'er thought for a while and whispered: "My grandson has come back with good news this time. I don't understand military and state affairs. I only heard that my grandson may come back in about half a year."
Probably, probably, should.
None of them are determiners or affirmative sentences.
Tang Queqing still had a smile on his face: "As long as His Highness is safe, it doesn't matter when he comes back."
"What Concubine Taisun said is absolutely true." Sun Gou'er agreed.
Tang Queqing smiled.
In the past few years in Yingtian City, there is only one biggest principle and rule she has learned. No matter what big things happen, you must keep the same expression on your face.
When Tang Queqing arrived at Qianqing Palace, he heard a heated discussion going on outside the palace gate, and there seemed to be some arguments.
Sun Gou'er entered the palace first, and soon came out to invite the concubine to enter.
When Tang Queqing entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace, he saw that in addition to the emperor and the prince, there were also several bachelors from the cabinet.
Seeing the arrival of the concubine Tang Queqing, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a gloomy face at first, suddenly showed a bright smile on his face.
"It's Miss Tang who's here."
Tang Queqing kneaded his hands and blessed himself: "I, my concubine, see you, your majesty, and see you, the prince."
Prince Zhu Biao nodded and looked at his daughter-in-law with a look of respect and trust on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the cabinet bachelors present, and then said to Tang Queqing with a smile: "The children are all in the side hall. You go and take a look first. After the prince and I have discussed the matter, the family will sit down to eat." Let’s talk about things over a meal.”
The only people who were called into the Qianqing Palace today were the cabinet bachelors.
The four people present, Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, Xu Yungong, and Zhai Shan, silently retracted their original disputes over government affairs, and instead gave Tang Queqing, the grandson concubine, what they thought was a polite and gentle smile.
After all, for today's Ming Dynasty, it is really rare to have a noble woman with pure nature and good conduct as the head of the family.
His Majesty the Emperor has not established another empress for many years, but he has a deep and sincere love for Empress Xiaoci. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the emperor will never establish another empress.
As for His Royal Highness, although no one dares to inquire, privately, people inside and outside the palace will always be interested in this matter.
It's just that everyone has some vague guesses.
It is very likely that the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty will never be crowned as a concubine for the rest of his life.
This also shows that in the next few decades of the Ming Dynasty, the position of the supreme queen will remain vacant.
Tang Queqing, the grandson concubine, was born in a general family. She had a pure temperament, was gentle and elegant, was graceful and noble, handled things appropriately, and had a good balance both internally and externally.
It is said that Taoism and everything will be prosperous. In the next few decades of the Ming Dynasty, the concubine will be in charge of the palace and set an example for women and children in the world. She is the best choice for the cabinet.
When Tang Queqing entered the side hall, he saw that the two nuns from the inner palace were already walking towards him holding the two little people from the Taisun Mansion.
Neither of them have their accounts banned now, that will happen after they are ten years old.
Grandma stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty has eaten enough today, and his feet are getting stronger. He kicked me so hard that I can't even stand still."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Tang Queqing glanced at his own son who was held in his arms by his grandma, but he just glanced at it and made no move.
On the contrary, her face was full of smiles and love, and she hugged Zhu Fuling in the arms of another nun.
"Poria Poria, you have to grow up quickly. My mother and your mother-in-law can take you to dress up together and make you the most beautiful little girl in Yingtian City."
Holding the little Zhu Fuling in his arms, Tang Queqing sat on the soft cushioned floor and started playing with the daughter in his arms.
Qianqing Palace was improved many times by the old man.
For example, half of the side hall is now covered with soft cushions. Even at this time, the surrounding walls begin to radiate heat into the room, maintaining the temperature inside the side hall at all times.
This also allows the two little people to crawl around on the ground anytime and anywhere.
Tang Queqing held Zhu Fuling in his arms, and from time to time he would play with the clothes his daughter was wearing today, or express his opinions on the braids that his grandma had tied.
The mother and daughter were having a great time playing. Zhu Wensheng had been silently put down. After shaking for a long time, he raised his head unsteadily and saw clearly the positions of his mother and sister.
A smile appeared on Zhu Wensheng's plump face, and his round eyes immediately narrowed, and he chuckled,
He put his hands on the ground, raised his head, and kicked hard with his two little feet.
In fact, two of the three kicks resulted in empty kicks.
But Zhu Wensheng still slowly crawled to his mother and sister.
"ah!"
Zhu Wensheng raised his head and shouted at his mother, Tang Queqing, hoping to get her mother's attention.
But at this moment, Tang Queqing was immersed in the joy of raising a daughter.
Zhu Wensheng squeaked twice, his eyes a little confused, perhaps because he felt that his shouting was too low.
"ah……"
"Ah!"
Zhu Wensheng's head almost couldn't hold it anymore, but he still screamed a few more times. Finally, he couldn't hold it anymore and he lay on the ground with his mouth open.
At this time, Tang Queqing finally noticed that his son had run over at some point, and frowned.
He stretched out his hand and just pressed it on Zhu Wensheng's head, which he had just raised again.
Tang Queqing turned his hand and Zhu Wensheng lay on the ground.
The mother who was lying there had changed her appearance. Zhu Wensheng had a look of anxiety on his face and started to scream.
"Snapped!"
At this time, Zhu Fuling, who was put down by Tang Queqing, ran up to his brother's head and slapped Zhu Wensheng on the forehead.
Zhu Wensheng's whole body twitched when he was photographed, and his eyes were staring at his sister, full of doubts.
Probably a reaction.
After all, I am an unpopular person.
Zhu Wensheng opened his mouth, rubbed his butt, moved to the side, sat up, lowered his head and played with his two feet.
In the side hall, there is royal family affection, and the deep love between mother and son.
In the main hall outside, the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn.
The emperor remained silent and kept doing what he liked to do most recently.
Matters in the court are first discussed by the cabinet, and then the prince makes the decision. Finally, he takes the center stage and makes the final decision.
The focus of today's debate is actually not a big deal, but every change in the imperial court will lead to countless changes in people and things. The current cabinet is a very responsible combination, so debates are inevitable from time to time.
Zhu Biao sat on one side, frowning slightly as he watched both sides explain their arguments.
Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan also frowned. Neither of them hoped that today's agenda would take effect, or that it could be implemented later.
But Xie Jin and Xu Yungong were in favor.
Since the Hongwu New Deal has been implemented for almost a year now, there are no new changes in the empire, and nothing can be more difficult than implementing the New Deal.
Zhu Biao patted the handrail and said softly: "The method of examining the public affairs of the state and court was originally developed to solve the limitations of the court's materials and prevent one family from becoming dominant.
At the beginning of this year, after the Spring Festival, we will summon all the talented people from all over the world to take the exams for official positions.
Now, Taisun Taisun has reported that Shanxi Taoist officials should take public examinations in winter, in order to facilitate the selection and appointment of local officials.
There are both advantages and disadvantages, but when considering it, the country, dynasty and society must be given priority. I think it would be better for the cabinet to discuss it again and decide on a proper solution."
Without Gao Yangzhi in the cabinet, Xie Jin would have to directly express his attitude on many matters.
It's the same as this time now.
Xie Jin stood up first and said: "The local government's method of conducting public examinations in winter has inherent advantages and disadvantages, but the imperial court cannot neglect food and sleep.
Local recruitment may be prone to fraud, which will undermine the integrity of the local government. Here, the court can restrict it. The selected officials cannot be appointed to the original government. They must serve as officials from other provinces and be transferred out of their own way in three years.
The official positions are limited to those below the Chief Envoy and Secretary of Prison, below the Inspector-General Si Zhaomo, below the Governor of the Fuyamen, below the Chief of the Prefecture and City, and below the Chief of the Fuyamen.
In this way, measures can be taken according to local conditions, and local government offices will not be constantly filled with official vacancies without anyone to fill them."
Zhai Shan, the newly promoted cabinet scholar and Minister of Civil Affairs, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely unacceptable. If this method is implemented, although the official position is not high, over time, the local government will inevitably be intertwined with the current new policies of the country.
Clash.
I live in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, witness all kinds of things, and reflect on my deliberation. If I have something to say, I can fill the urgent vacancies in the local area and select officials.
The current shortage of officials in Shanxi Dao is caused by unexpected events, which cannot be generalized by all Dao in the world.
I believe that at the beginning of every year in the spring, the imperial court should select talents from all over the world for the use of the imperial court. Every winter, the examinations should be conducted in different lanes, avoiding candidates from their own lanes.
In the spring of the following year, the candidates who have passed the exams will be selected and then set off to various places. In this way, the selection of officials in the world will be in the hands of the imperial court and determined by His Majesty's Holy Judgment, which can stabilize the world's society."
Xie Jin sighed silently in his heart.
If it hadn't been for the Emperor Taisun's suggestion of taking the public examination this winter, he would never have expressed his support here.
The opinions of Ren Hengtai and Zhai Shan on this matter are correct.
Xie Jin knew very well that with Zhai Shan's remarks, there was no need to say more about this matter.
Zhu Yuanzhang above smiled, nodded and said: "Zhai Qing has lived in the official department for a long time, and is well aware of the official administration of the world. His words are prudent, and he is for the purpose of pursuing the country. There is also a reason why Taisun came to Shanxi in person, but he neglected the country of the world, and issued an edict
Rejected. This time, the officials patrolling in the north will temporarily stay in the government offices of various departments in Shanxi Province. They will wait for the imperial court to select talents this year and then take office next spring."
"I obey your orders."
The emperor's decree does not include objections.
Ren Hengtai and Xie Jin responded in unison.
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows at this time and said: "As Gao Chunfeng mentioned, the King of Yan privately led his troops southward, out of the vassal state, and into the east of Jin Dynasty. Although there is my will, the matter comes first and the will comes later. The Yan vassal
If there is a mistake, the merits and demerits cannot be offset, and I am required to punish the fourth child in accordance with the law. What does the cabinet think of this matter?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he looked at Ren Hengtai and the four others.
The four of them kept silent in a tacit agreement.
Because at this time, someone will speak for them.
really.
The next moment, the prince Zhu Biao stood up.
Zhu Biao cupped his hands and bent down: "Father, I think that even if the fourth son is wrong, it is only a small mistake. Looking for the reason, the fourth son secretly led his troops southward into the eastern Shanxi area to protect the great grandson of the Ming Dynasty.
Going forward in turn, I think the court should discuss it lightly, or issue an edict to reprimand him, or order him to hold a pen to repent and return to the Holy See."
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately snorted coldly.
He squinted his eyes and looked at the prince in front of him.
"What if one day the fourth child or someone else comes to your Yingtian City with troops and horses?"
