She held a warm jujube tea, listened to Queen Zhao's fellow villagers talk about the past, the corners of her mouth were slightly hooked, a banquet was set up in the palace, and Emperor Chu specially welcomed the queen's mother in the banquet gathered almost all the women in the capital, and Emperor Chu even invited many of Queen Zhao's fellow villagers to relieve Queen Zhao's homesickness.

Gu Mingnuan sat at the bottom of Empress Zhao, and today she attended as the county lord, no longer Princess Yan.

In their words, they seem to be best friends who grew up with their mothers since childhood.

Empress Zhao listened with a smile, and even said a few words from time to time, which confirmed that she was the daughter of the squire, who grew up in the countryside.

Gu Yan was dumbfounded, if he wasn't sure that Niangniang was his wife, and you Ah Niangniang also admitted it, otherwise he might have been fooled.

It's not that Gu Yan is useless, but that Niangniang is too powerful.

Gu Mingnuan glanced at Governor Feng Chang, who was standing beside Emperor Chu, these people were all found by Dongchang, could it be that Niangniang's forces had infiltrated Dongchang?

No one has said hello in advance, it will definitely not go so smoothly, and Niangniang is not omnipotent. Niangniang has not been found out a trace of clues over the years, and the group of people who instructed Niangniang back then arranged it very properly.

But this group of people was killed by the mother! It can only be said that there are more strong players in the strong, and Niangniang is more powerful than them.

Everyone knows that the queen's mother's house has been destroyed, and now the only person close to her is the eldest princess, Empress Dowager Ji sneered on her lips, "The mourning family is really knowledgeable, it turns out that the countryside is like this, the mourning family has to thank the queen, or the mourning family doesn't know how interesting it is to raise chickens and ducks." ”

Empress Zhao's fellow villagers were embarrassed and at a loss, "We, we ......"

The Queen Mother is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, and she is very noble, they have never seen such a beautiful hairpin on the head of the Queen Mother in their lives, and the most valuable person they have seen before is only the wife of the county order, and the people who are county orders in the poor countryside will not be too rich.

The palace concubines on one side covered their mouths with handkerchiefs and smiled, fully in line with the Queen Mother's words, and ridiculed the vulgar queen mother.

"Interesting things in the eyes of the Queen Mother, but not easy for them."

Gu Mingnuan put down the teacup and looked at the Empress Dowager Ji, "Since they can make the Empress Dowager happy, do you think you can give them some rewards?" ”

Empress Dowager Ji's face changed slightly, and she said with a faint smile: "Princess Yan is right, it should be rewarded, come all the way and once, and you should go to your relatives." ”

"Nongsang civil, I don't think it's a trivial matter, the mother just gave them silver, and there is no place to use it in that remote place, so it's better to ...... It is better to exempt the county where the queen's hometown is located from the tax burden for three years. ”

Gu Mingnuan smiled playfully, "It can be regarded as your kindness to the people and your care for the queen." ”

Empress Dowager Ji was silent, she didn't care about giving some grace, but she wanted to beat Empress Zhao's Ming'er, and the people who were exempted from money and grain taxes would only be grateful to Empress Zhao.

"In the affairs of the court, the mourning family has to depend on what the emperor says."

Expecting Emperor Chu to stop it, Emperor Chu saw that Empress Zhao was shy and expected to smile, and immediately softened his heart and waved his big hand, "I think what the county lord said is very good, so I will do it." ”

"Thank you for your compassion for the concubine."

Empress Zhao got up and solemnly thanked Empress Dowager Ji, smiled at Emperor Chu again, and said softly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, concubine...... The concubines always remember when they first met His Majesty...... Do you remember? ”

Emperor Chu suddenly said: "Of course I remember that I went to the queen mother's house at that time, passing by the queen's hometown, which is not far from the queen mother's hometown......."

He drank a glass of wine embarrassedly, and it was even more embarrassing to ridicule the queen mother's hometown as a poor country, not far from here? How much stronger is Empress Dowager Ji's background than Empress Zhao?

"It's better to exempt the tax burden of the Queen Mother's hometown by the way, and save the county guard to bring the lawsuit to the emperor when the time comes, so that Your Majesty will be embarrassed."

Gu Mingnuan interjected again, thinking about the Empress Dowager Ji, "What do you say, Empress Dowager?" Both horizontally and vertically are His Majesty's subjects, and they are also the territory of the dynasty. Under the rule of His Majesty, the days have been getting better and better, and in the future there will be fewer poor and remote lands, and there will be kings of paradise everywhere, and you will be afraid that it will be difficult to find fun in the future, but you may have less fun, but it proves that the dynasty is strong and the farmers are prosperous. ”

"The Queen Mother felt even more relieved and happy."

Empress Dowager Ji could only nod, "Princess Yan is right, the mourning family is looking forward to the peace of the country and the people." ”

It's just that the handkerchief in her hand was twisted into a twist, and the corners of Queen Zhao's eyes were slightly raised, what's wrong with Xiao Nuan, this girl? In the past, I was eager to hide aside, but today I took the initiative to provoke the Queen Mother.

Just for her?

Not like!

In the past, even if Gu Mingnuan didn't look down on Empress Dowager Ji, it would not be like today, and Empress Zhao thought that she would have to ask about it later.

Gu Yan drank heavily on the side, Xiao Yang diligently poured wine for his father-in-law, and understood his father-in-law's depression very well, after all, when his mother was ridiculed, his father-in-law couldn't intervene at all.

However, Xiao Yang didn't care at all that Xiao Nuan gave the Queen Mother a good look, and poured wine with one hand, "Your Majesty, you can't be partial, the minister's hometown is not rich, I implore Your Majesty to exempt money and grain from taxes." ”

“……”

Emperor Chu secretly hated Empress Dowager Ji, what did he do to provoke Gu Mingnuan? The money, grain, and taxes are all silver, and Emperor Chu can barely arrange the ministers who are loyal to him in the household department, if the taxes are insufficient next year, what will he do to train the army? What to fight against Xiao Yang?

Who doesn't know that Xiaoyang's Liaodong minerals are extremely rich? And many counties in the north under the control of the Xiao family can't collect a few dollars at all.

"Haha, King Yan said with a smile, I still count on Liaodong's rice and minerals."

Emperor Chu snorted, even if he couldn't collect a few dollars, he had to try his best to reduce Xiao Yang's strength, and the symbolism was far greater than the reality, proving that Emperor Chu still had influence on these counties that heard the announcement of the suspension of the tune.

"Come, drink this cup full, and wish the coming year smooth wind and rain, and the country rich and the people strong."

King Yue helped Emperor Chu save some face, so that the Jiangnan officials who were about to move had the idea of taking the opportunity to ask for grace, Jiangnan was the basic plate of Emperor Chu, in case the tax burden was also reduced, Emperor Chu couldn't even drink soup.

Gu Mingnuan pursed the corners of his mouth, "I remember that the prince's hometown is short of salt, and the tax burden is related to national affairs, so it is not easy to exempt it, it is better to give King Yan more salt, and it is not easy for our prince to open his mouth to ask for grace." ”

Emperor Chu's face was solemn, Yan Zheng, Gu Mingnuan This is to prompt Xiao Yang to intervene in the salt administration, with Xiao Yang's means, Emperor Chu has no doubt that once Xiao Yang intervenes, the salt administration will be divided into half by Xiao Yang.

"The Queen Mother is kind and forgiving, and the people who can exchange a few pieces of salt are grateful for your great kindness and the gratitude of the prince."

Gu Mingnuan lowered his eyebrows in front of the Empress Dowager Ji, completely restrained the flamboyance of Fang Cai, and the Empress Dowager Ji felt very satisfied, and said with her chin bowed: "The mourning family is approved." ”

Emperor Chu clenched his wine glass, his own mother, how could you be such a pit son? That's a matter of a few salt leads. (To be continued.) )
