Chapter XXVI Dismissal
Ji Gang's words made the emperor think deeply, and Ji Gang looked at the emperor's thoughtful appearance, and knew that he had achieved his goal, so he quietly retreated.
He walked slowly on the palace road, remembering what King Gao Xu of Han had instructed him to dismiss the lady army around the crown princess, yes, he was in this battle for succession, although he did not participate in it quietly, but in private, he had already formed a party with the King of Han, he was not optimistic about the prince Gao Chi, and he bet on the King of Han.
Unexpectedly, the first thing that King Han assigned to him was to bring down the people around the crown princess, which really made him speculate again and again, I don't know why King Han would hand over such a thing to her as a vote for his service.
Two days later, Zhang Zhaohua was suddenly summoned by the emperor.
Sitting in the palace, I don't know if it was the dragon head on the throne, or the empty and silent palace, suddenly made her a little cramped and nervous, but the emperor still looked at her with a smile, and heard her say that she planned to decorate the floor heating in the Kunning Palace.
In the winter, Zhang Zhaohua said: The family is in Beiping, Beiping is cold in winter, but it is comfortable, not wet and cold like Nanjing, I sit in the hall, I feel the cold slowly seeping up, sit for a long time and the legs are cold and cold, not to mention that the prince always sits and reads, and does not get up to move a few braziers useless, but I feel that the cold air is going to penetrate into the bones, I have been in good health, I feel unbearable, I think the queen mother is there, but also endure, do not want to say such a thing but what is the point of repairing a floor heating, Yuhuatai rich people's homes, all repair floor heating, I plan to be good, I want to give the queen of Kunning Palace, renovate itγ
In fact, Zhang Zhaohua just said it simply, now this floor heating is quite difficult to repair, and this thing is expensive at this time, and it is also quite labor-intensive.
But Zhang Zhaohua would rather spend his own money, spend thousands of taels of silver is fine, just hope that Queen Xu will not cough all the time because of the moisture on the ground, she always suspects that Queen Xu is coughing, that is, the charcoal fire in the house is too strong, and the air conditioning in the ground has been inexhaustible, and she can't go back to Beiping in the short term, Zhang Zhaohua thought about how to build the Nanjing Palace to warm up, so that she can live more comfortably.
You spend money, the emperor laughed and said: How tight is the country's finances, and asked you to pay for the renovation of the palace
Zhang Zhaohua was also embarrassed to get up, and looked at the emperor with blank eyes. But I heard the emperor say: How many people do you have who can settle accounts, you quote a price, and I will ask the head of the Ministry of Works to repair it, and see how much silver it can cost after repairing, and see if your estimate is accurate.
That's no problem, Zhang Zhaohua said happily: I'm afraid that the people in the Ministry of Industry will be greedy, otherwise my account book will be more accurate than the Ministry of Households!
The emperor laughed a few times, and suddenly said: Are these people of yours who plan to be a good family or a palace person?
Liangjiazi, Zhang Zhaohua said honestly: I borrowed from my sister-in-law's silver building, I have to return it, and now I stay in the palace, and let them teach the palace people who are serving around me to learn accounting.
Then your women's army, the emperor sighed and said: How many good families are there, how many palace people are there?
All of them are palace people, Zhang Zhaohua said: The old people of the hidden mansion.
The old man of the palace, the emperor said: How many years have you served?
The long ones have been for ** years, Zhang Zhaohua said: The short ones are also three or five years.
It's been a long time, and the emperor said casually: The older ones are twenty-seven or eighteen, don't you want to ask them to match people?
Zhang Zhaohua was surprised, can the palace people still match people? She didn't know what the emperor meant, and she didn't dare to squeak for a while.
Today, the king of the imperial history has to play the spring to invite the Qing Palace. The emperor said: It is said that the palace people who have been selected for many years are full of courts, and among them, the old and weak are inevitably depressed and resentful, and it is advisable to keep it simple.
The officials of the outer court want the old and weak palace people in the palace to return to their hometowns?
Although there are 20,000 palace women in the palace now, there are not many people serving them, and they are in charge of the six bureaus and one division, as well as the Huanyi Bureau, the Scarf and Hat Bureau, the Needlework Bureau, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, the Wine and Vinegar Noodles Bureau, and the Yuan Bureau, not to mention letting them out, and some palace maids are old, old and decrepit, and they can't find anyone when they go out, and they may not have anything to eat.
Old age and decay, it should be put back, and the emperor said in a slightly heavier tone: I see this as a good government.
Zhang Zhaohua didn't dare to speak, she seemed to hear the intolerance of rejection in the emperor's tone, she suddenly remembered that when the emperor had just ascended the throne, he had ordered the palace to be cleared for three days, and many palace officials and female officials who were close to Jianwen in the palace were killed, and only those who offended Jianwen stayed. A month later, an order was issued to visit the literate women of the civil society to fill the inner court.
Therefore, the palace people have just been cleaned up, and the female officials who serve are also selected from the people, there is no possibility of Jianwen's widow, and it is impossible for the imperial history to interfere in the internal affairs of the palace, so the emperor's statement is just a pretext, he does not want to release the old and decrepit palace people in the palace, but wants these ladies around him to leave the palace.
Why why! When the women's army participated in the big parade before, the emperor was quite happy, and said that in the future, the women's army was called to participate in the big parade, and it was only a few days, and he regretted it!
It is impossible for Zhang Zhaohua to ask the emperor why, the emperor is the emperor, he is no longer the Yan King he used to be, she understands this very clearly.
These palace people around the son, Zhang Zhaohua said: Follow me for a long time, when Jing was in trouble, guarding the city and burning grain boats, and also built some meritorious deeds, I never regarded them as groveling servants, I regarded them as siblings, like humerus, such as henchmen did not ask for any reward for them at the beginning, and now since they want to be returned, they want to ask for a grace for them.
This time, the emperor readily agreed: You say.
I want them to be released as a hundred households, Zhang Zhaohua cut the railway: The merits of the performance in the army, I once calculated, their merits can be sealed by hundreds of households.
This is an unheard of thing that has never been heard of before, and the emperor raised his eyebrows in surprise.
There was no before, Zhang Zhaohua said: But from now on, there will be, when the Jing Dynasty was in trouble, men, women and children, all felt Dai Ende, traveled to and from the city, and served Xuanli. Is it just because of a woman's body that merit can be disregarded?
The emperor couldn't help laughing: Who said that women are inferior to men?
As he spoke, he said: It's up to you, I will be at Youshunmen, and I will give them the merit of Fengtian Yiwei Tui Cheng, and the Houjun Governor's Mansion will include their names to show their descendants.
Zhang Zhaohua lay on the ground and couldn't help crying.
