Yin clearly remembered that on the third day after he succeeded to the throne, he made an exception and deleted all the regulations on exempting officials from shortfalls in the "Edict on Enthronement" drafted by the cabinet.
He thought very wildly: local officials grabbed silver and enriched their own pockets, but they all complained about poverty.
What exemption is required? No exemption!
In addition, he also issued a decree: to comprehensively clean up money and food.
That edict said this: "Within a period of three years, the governors of each province will strictly inspect their money and grain. Any shortfalls will be made up within three years without any excuses. After three years of making up, if there are any more
Those who make shortfalls will be severely punished and will not be given leniency!"
Nowadays, cicadas are chirping outside the palace. This is the summer of the third year of Yongzheng reign.
The three-year period is coming soon.
…
The story of Ji Guiren sacrificing his life to protect him spread throughout the Forbidden City overnight.
What's more, the good deeds were described vividly and vividly in private. The incident of sacrificing one's life to protect an auspicious nobleman and splattering blood on the spot was as vivid as a storybook, and the listeners were all amazed and changed their minds.
To the east of the Imperial Garden, Chengrui Pavilion.
There was no one around, only the people from Changchun Palace stood around the pavilion.
Mao Bi held Concubine Qi's elbow and said softly, "Be careful!" as she stepped up the steps.
At this time, Xia Yang was just in time, and Concubine Qi slowly sat down. After listening to Mao Bi, she couldn't help but wipe the candied fruit stains on the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, raised her eyebrows and said with a surprised smile: "Tsk, tsk! I didn't know that Ji Gui was so courageous.
You are so perverted that you risk your family and your life just to be favored?"
Mao Bi pursed her lips and smiled and said: "No! I never expected that Ji Guiren would be so willing to risk it! I heard that at that time, even Su Peisheng didn't react. Ji Guiren had already rushed in front of the emperor and used his body as his body.
shield!"
She stretched out her skinny and slender fingers and showed them to Concubine Qi. Then she put her two hands together and said softly: "Concubine Nian... No, Nian... Nian is a person who dares to risk his life."
Yes, the same goes for Mr. Jigui. In these two moments, two people who are fighting for their lives have come together!"
Concubine Qi took a handkerchief and slapped Mao Bi's hand, and said with a leisurely smile: "That's good, from now on in this palace, Yikun Palace will no longer hinder me!"
Mao Bi immediately stood up, bent her knees slightly and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet!"
She picked up a cup of crushed fruit and milk drink on the stone table, picked up the cup, and whispered softly: "Concubine, congratulations to Concubine Qi, your wish has come true."
Concubine Qi waved her hand and motioned for her to sit down, glanced at her and said: "Maobin, you are really lucky. You chose another branch before the fall of Yikun Palace. How could you have predicted it?
today?"
There was no trace of embarrassment on Maobi's face, she just laughed and said: "The empress is teasing me again. I am thin-skinned, but I can't stand the empress's words!"
Concubine Qi sneered, pushed the plate of candied peonies on the table towards Mao Bi, and said: "Try it, this is the craftsmanship in Changchun Palace, we usually pay greetings, and Kunning Palace also has this
The same color, I thought it looked good, so I asked someone to imitate the gourd and make it."
Mao Bi smiled and said, "My queen is blessed with profound blessings and all her wishes come true. She is a person favored by God. If I eat the candied fruit of my queen, I will also be blessed with her."
She reached out and took a candied fruit into her mouth, chewing it slowly.
Concubine Qi narrowed her eyes slightly and said with a smile: "How about comparing with Kunning Palace?"
Mao Bi lowered her head to spit out the core. Jasmine immediately came forward and put her hand under her lips.
Mao Bi took Jasmine's hand and vomited it into her hand. Then she smiled and said, "In my heart, I only remember the taste of the Changchun Palace, but I have not paid attention to the Kunning Palace."
She continued: "I just asked my concubine how she could have predicted Nian's day?"
Concubine Qi nodded.
Mao Bi wiped the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief and said slowly: "Strong things break easily, soft things last forever. This is what I have been persuading Yi Kun Palace to say before, but Yi Kun Palace has never listened."
Concubine Qi turned the crushed fruit milk in her hand, lowered her eyelashes, and curled her mouth slightly, saying: "It is conceivable that with her temperament, how can she easily listen to others' advice? Maobin, can you do it in Yikun?"
I’m afraid it’s not easy after being under Gong’s subordinates for so many years, right?”
A trace of sadness flashed in Mao Bi's eyes, and she whispered: "In the Forbidden City, everyone has their own way of living. I am useless and unlucky. I can only rely on the high-ranking empress, but I want a stable ending."
That’s all. If we say that the master of Yikun Palace is indeed a bit tougher in temperament, there are also times when he looks after me. If not, how can I gain a foothold in the Forbidden City on my own?"
She smiled bitterly and said: "...I am old and beautiful, and I have no favors and no children. I am afraid that the weeds in Jingyang Palace have grown three inches high."
Concubine Qi was quite surprised. She turned to look at Mao Bi and said, "These words are somewhat humane! I really want to take a high look at you."
Mao Bi lowered his head and smiled bitterly, and said: "A strong person may not be strong, and a strong person may not be strong. It's a pity that Yikun Palace has not understood such a simple truth after so many years."
She raised her face and said slowly: "Our emperor has a tough personality and is naturally proud. The more such a person is, the more he can overcome his toughness with softness, and slowly cover his heart!"
The one from Yikun Palace is used to being arrogant in her boudoir. The more she doesn't get it, the more demons she has in her heart. She won't give up until she achieves her goal. Alas! I have been gambling with myself for a lifetime, but in the end, it is just a big dream in vain. "
While the two were talking, they saw a few people walking not far from the pavilion. They looked at the clothes and they were Chang Zai. They agreed to be first-class. When they got closer, they saw clearly that it was An Changzai and Ma Changzai.
An Changzai and Ma Chang looked up and saw Concubine Qi and Concubine Maobi sitting in the pavilion, not knowing what they were talking about in the distance.
After all, she was a high-ranking concubine. An Changzai was a little timid. She pulled Ma Changzai's sleeves and whispered: "Let's... let's go around it."
Ma Changzai stamped his feet and said: "They have all seen us! Why bother? It's not rude!"
After she finished speaking, she exerted force on her hand and grabbed An Changzai's wrist with her backhand. Regardless of her struggle, she dragged her forward and saluted generously, with a pleasing smile on her face.
Because he was still young, his voice could not hide its tenderness and crispness, and he only said: "My concubine, please say hello to Concubine Qi, may I wish you all the best! May you say hello to Concubine Mao!"
Mao Bi looked them up and down, and saw that Ma Changzai was wearing a green flag uniform, and An Changzai was wearing a light lake blue. The two stood together, and they were both young and young, and the colors complemented each other.
, in this summer, looking at the refreshing and pleasant scenery, he smiled and said: "Okay, okay, get up!"
Concubine Qi just chewed the candied fruit and said nothing.
Seeing that Concubine Qi was silent and Concubine Mao with a pleasant face, Ma Changzai boldly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother Mao concubine, are you and Concubine Qi enjoying the scenery here?"
Concubine Qi glanced at Ma Changzai impatiently, reached out and took out the candied fruit core from her mouth, and threw it on the plate on the table.
Seeing her like this, Maobin knew that she thought Ma Changzai was disturbing her conversation, so she smiled and said a few words, and dismissed Ma Changzai easily.
Concubine Qi then said: "Maobin, you are also unmotivated, why are you quarreling with these regular people!"
Seeing the two Chang Zai walking away, Mao Bi came closer and said with a low voice: "Your Majesty, you don't have to say that! Now that Yikun Palace has collapsed, the situation in the palace will inevitably change. Why don't your Majesty recruit some talents, both left and right?
The one in the lower position is always there, just coax it, maybe it will be useful sometimes, but if you really don’t need it in the future, it doesn’t matter if you kick it away.”
She rolled her eyes and added in a low voice: "My queen, please don't forget that the famous man lying in the emperor's back hall was once just an inconspicuous person!"
