Chapter 209: Make good use of power
Because the emperor showed his attention to Tang Jingchen, the subordinates who listened to Yuxuan were all happy and felt honored, in the harem, what the subordinates hoped for most was that their masters could be favored, so that they could also rise and be decent in front of other palace people.
However, in the face of the emperor's words, Tang Jingchen couldn't stop laughing, "The emperor is too exaggerated, it's only been a few months to light a brazier, it's not to heat up the concubines." ”
"Look at your little hands are cold, where can you die of heat, don't say these unlucky words in the future." The emperor clenched Tang Jingchen's hand, turned his head to Yi Lin and said, "Take a cloak to put on your master, so that you don't have to be uncomfortable when you are cold." ”
"Okay, I don't want to wear any cloak when I go out, I don't want it." Tang Jingchen said coquettishly.
Naturally, what she cares about the most is that Gordan, "The little noble son just told me, what kind of person is that guy and what is he going to do?" ”
Speaking of this, the emperor's face changed, "That bastard, who dared to ask me for east and west before he took the throne, was also my negligence, what kind of white bird dreams are messy, because I don't believe this, I didn't think about solving him early." ”
If you want to say who least wants to see a strong and unified grassland tribe, that is the successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty, the so-called side of the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, the more scattered, the more the emperors like it.
It is best that they fight every day, so that there will be no threat to the Central Plains, so the emperor will wait for the opportunity except for the most promising prince of Zhunger, who will become the great khan of the steppe.
"Do you know what the letter from Goldan says?" The Emperor gritted his teeth, "He dared to threaten me, implying in his letter that he knew the cause of Prince Zhunger's death, and that he would not tell anyone about it as long as he agreed to his request." ”
"What?" Tang Jingchen whispered in surprise, and then said, "This person is not small. ”
The emperor sneered, "Not to mention the guts, the ambition is not small, the high-profile recognition of his biological father, isn't it just that he has taken a fancy to Jungger is stronger than Danjia, I really didn't expect that the biggest variable actually came out of him!" ”
As he spoke, he hated it.
Because the grassland is not far from Kyoto, the successive emperors of the Qing Dynasty have attached great importance to the grassland, and adopted a policy of fighting and pulling, when the grassland was strong, several concubines of the Qing Dynasty were from the major tribes of the grassland.
But in recent decades, there has been no strong leader in the grassland, and there are no women from the grassland in the harem of the Qing Dynasty.
Gordan's biological mother dreamed of a white bird and gave birth to a child, the emperor had known about this for a long time, but he didn't take it to heart, he thought that Gordan's biological mother did it for her son's status in the Danjia tribe.
Unexpectedly, it caused a catastrophe.
The emperor continued to tell Tang Jingchen, "He told me in the letter that he knew that I was reluctant to marry my own daughter far away, and he didn't want to die, so he didn't dare to ask to marry the princess of the Qing Dynasty. ”
Tang Jingchen didn't say a word, this matter was investigated, the emperor did it all for her and her daughter, and she felt a little guilty in her heart.
The emperor saw it, took Tang Jingchen tightly into his arms, lowered his head and kissed the top of her head, and the soft hair brushed his cheeks, making his heart itch.
"You don't have to be sad, you just don't have to be careful, I already have this heart, then Prince Jungger is a big trouble after all, in addition to early peace of mind, it's just that I neglected to have such a person, otherwise it would be a happy ending for everyone at this time."
Tang Jingchen buried his face in the emperor's chest, "He dared to commit suicide to Xinyan, but he didn't take Daqing in his eyes, and he really deserved to die." ”
"What else did Gordan say?" She asked the Emperor again.
The emperor sighed, "He said that he didn't want a princess, but since he had a marriage contract, he couldn't have nothing, if he quietly quit the marriage, the tribes of the grassland thought that he was incompetent and afraid of the Qing Dynasty, so ......"
Tang Jingchen's heart tugged again.
I only heard the emperor continue: "He asked to send the dowry over, he said that he had read Xinyan's dowry list, since Xinyun is my most beloved daughter, and her biological mother is my favorite concubine, the dowry is naturally indispensable, and it can only be more than Xinyan." ”
"If it was a few years ago, it would have been fine, but the last two years have not been peaceful, the whole Gyeonggi area had a snowstorm a year ago, there was a flood in the south a few days ago, and this year's harvest is not good, I just ordered the whole country to be exempted from taxes for three years, and he gave me such a thing!"
The Emperor clenched his fists, and his eyes flashed with a dim and uncertain light.
Tang Jingchen bit his lower lip, the treasury has no money, and he can't make up so many things, and he gives a dowry for nothing, it is estimated that the emperor and the ministers will not be reconciled.
The emperor sneered again, "Chang Yuan, that incompetent loser, actually said that he would simply send troops to the grassland to fight, and now that the treasury is tight, what support do you really want to get for a war?" ”
Tang Jingchen knew that Chang Yuan was Chang Xueli's brother, so he couldn't help but ask, "What did Prime Minister Chang say?" ”
The emperor showed a hint of relief on his face, "Prime Minister Chang is naturally not his son's unlearned and unskilled character, he beat Chang Yuan first in front of all the courtiers, and then said that he tried his best to solve this matter, but it was difficult." ”
He shook his head, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the biggest problem in the court is the lack of money, as early as the beginning of the founding of the country, Emperor Taizong issued an order never to give more, so the court has been very tight over the years.
A few days ago, he just ordered a three-year tax reduction, and he was thinking of tightening his belt for a few years, but who knew that there would be such a big change on the grassland.
Tang Jingchen had an idea in her heart, but after thinking about it, she felt that this was not what she should say, her situation was already delicate and tight, if she opened this mouth, she would immediately become a target again.
Facing the emperor's frowning, she desperately pressed it.
After accompanying the emperor for lunch and serving him for a lunch break, Tang Jingchen went directly to Changchun Palace and told Chang Xueli about the matter.
"I heard some rumors in this palace, but I don't know you as thoroughly as you do, the emperor spoils his sister in the end, and the ancestral motto that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics is written there, but he still tells you everything."
Chang Xueli's smile was light, but her words were a little lonely and a little mocking.
Tang Jingchen's heart sank, she knew that the harem has always been a collection of favors and grievances, no one can jump out of this shackle, so many women, but only one man, dozens of flower-like girls compete for a man's love, who can be free and easy?
Especially these girls are all proud of the sky, with their background, appearance, family background, status, and mental means, marrying anyone will be held in the palm of their in-laws' hands, but when you enter the palace, who will support you? Not only is no one supportive, but they also have to fight non-stop, facing various crises all the time.
For many years, it is more difficult to maintain a normal heart than to ascend to the sky.
