Chapter 53: Can You Do Me a Favor?
Xiaozhuang smiled and said, "This palace is the empress dowager of the Qing Dynasty, and she still has that right to set up a concubine in the harem." ”
Wu Yue shrugged his shoulders, "You are the ancestor of the Qing Dynasty, you can do whatever you want." ”
"You kid!" Xiaozhuang said, raised his hand and gently patted Wu Yue's forehead, and said with a smile.
Rong Xiang'er was dragged to Wu Yue's side by Xiaozhuang, and put Rong Xiang'er's small hand into Wu Yue's palm with one hand.
"Xuan Ye, Rong Xiang'er will be handed over to you." Xiaozhuang said with a serious face.
Wu Yue nodded and motioned for Rong Xiang'er to stand aside.
Rong Xiang'er, who was blushing at the moment, bowed slightly to Wu Yue and stood beside Wu Yue.
Xiaozhuang looked at the two with a smile and nodded slightly.
But at this moment, Wu Yue didn't put too much thought on this personal concubine, but was full of thoughts about the conversation with Chen Tingjing just now.
Xiaozhuang saw that Wu Yue suddenly became calm, so his brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice.
"Is there anything bothering your grandson?"
Wu Yue shook his head gently, slowly raised his head, looked at Xiaozhuang with a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "Imperial grandmother, Chen Tingjing played just now, let me go out to patrol the river, and by the way, observe the people's feelings. In this way, we will determine the direction of future administrative decision-making. ”
Xiaozhuang heard Wu Yue's words, nodded slightly, pondered for a few minutes, and said, "What do you think?" ”
Wu Yue got up slowly, slowly came to the front of Xiaozhuang, with a solemn face, pacing back and forth, and after a few minutes of contemplation, he took a step and looked at Xiaozhuang with a side face.
"I think what Chen Tingjing said is reasonable. At this time, I was able to clearly grasp the specific flow of the silver allocated by the imperial court to control the river, as well as the grain and silver used to relieve the people, as well as the actual situation of the use of silver by officials. ”
"On the question of whether officials are greedy for ink, this is not a critical period, and it has reached the point where it must be cleaned up. And the first task at the moment is to let the silver allocated by the imperial court play the most important role. Implement it to the most critical parts! ”
Xiaozhuang nodded, "These things, as long as you arrange for the court officials to go down, you can naturally help the court and do supervision, you don't have to go out in person, right?" Moreover, at present, the people, the rebel forces are still rampant, and you are the entire Qing Dynasty. If something happens, the Qing Dynasty is in danger! ”
Hearing this, Wu Yue bowed slightly towards Xiaozhuang and said, "Imperial Grandmother, although the imperial court has sent inspection officials, they can also do the duty of supervision, but I have other things to deal with!" ”
As Wu Yue spoke, bursts of sharp wisdom flashed in his eyes.
Xiaozhuang instantly knew what Wu Yue meant, "I'm afraid this kid has never given up the idea of exterminating the three feudatories." Xiaozhuang said silently in his heart.
"Xuan Ye, you want to go to the vicinity of the three feudal territories in the name of inspection to inspect the terrain and check the people's situation, right?"
Wu Yue was not the slightest surprised that Xiaozhuang could guess his thoughts.
After all, looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, Xiaozhuang is definitely the premier absolute politician. And at the moment, the matter of the three feudatories plotted by Wu Yue is the biggest problem facing the imperial court!
Wu Yue didn't mean to hide it at all, and nodded heavily.
"The rebellion of the three feudal lords is a sure thing, and they will definitely rebel before these three feudal kings return to heaven. And the purpose of my efforts to raise money and greatly appease the people is also to gather the people's hearts and return to the court in a short time. In order for the three feudatories to launch a rebellion against the imperial court, they launched a language offensive against the people under our rule, causing a large-scale rebellion. ”
Regarding Wu Yue's super early warning and the three feudatories must be opposed, Xiaozhuang seems to be reluctant to voice opposition anymore.
"Now that you've decided, do you want this to do something with Bengong when you talk to Bengu about this?" Xiaozhuang said in a deep voice.
Wu Yue nodded heavily, "Because I have just centralized the imperial power in the court, it is indeed extremely inappropriate to go out on patrol now. But I had a reason to go out, so I decided to spend a month on the pretext that I was seriously ill. At present, all the affairs of the court are entrusted to the newly formed cabinet. ”
"The cabinet will send me to the place where I am by express delivery of 800 miles, review it, and then forward it back to the court."
Xiaozhuang heard Wu Yue's words, and his face instantly became serious. He lowered his head and pondered for a few minutes, then looked up at Wu Yue and nodded.
"This method is feasible, but there is one thing that you have to think about clearly, the time for the court to pass the excerpt is very time-consuming, if it is an urgent court matter, how should you deal with it?"
Wu Yue bowed deeply towards Xiaozhuang and said, "Imperial Grandmother, this is what I want to pray for you. ”
Xiaozhuang's face was radical and cloudy, and his body slowly stood up from the couch and slowly came to Wu Yue's side.
"Xuan Ye, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is the rule set by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty. Over the years, although this palace has been in the harem, you have always cared about the court, and the reason for this must be clear to you. Everything was forced. ”
"If the palace does not sit in the imperial court, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty will have already changed hands!"
"It wasn't until today, with your power in your hands, that Bengong's heart relaxed a little. Now you're letting the palace come to court again, but it's a bit of a "
Wu Yue saw that Xiaozhuang was prevaricating, and hurriedly said, "Grandmother Huang, the three feudatories are quite powerful now, and they have the intention of rebelling. I must pave the way for the future war, and this matter is imminent. ”
"And this time, it's not that you're in the middle of the court to listen to politics, you just need to deal with some excerpts that need to be dealt with urgently behind the scenes."
"Looking at the entire Qing Dynasty, the only thing I can trust is you."
Xiaozhuang smiled lightly, frowned and nodded, "Only this once!" Hongu hopes that after this time, you will be able to do everything in your hands and will not do such unstable things again. ”
When Wu Yue heard Xiaozhuang's promise, his face showed joy and nodded heavily.
"In extraordinary times, extraordinary things must be done. If this matter were not imminent, I would never have thought of doing such a thing. I promise that nothing like this will happen again in the future. Wu Yue's face was joyful, he got up and raised his right hand towards Xiaozhuang, making an oath motion.
Seeing this, Xiaozhuang hurriedly got started, pressed down Wu Gao's raised right hand, frowned and said with resentment, "Xuan Ye, as the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, in addition to making a grand wish and praying for the blessing of the Qing Dynasty, it is absolutely impossible to swear anything else, especially the things promised!" ”
