Chaohui Palace was overcrowded all of a sudden, although these concubines had their own thoughts, and some were even reluctant to come, but the queen was still the queen, and it would be unreasonable if she didn't come.

Although Wei Guifei was demoted, the concubine's shelf was not less at all, and those shares were not enough for her to be a problem, and her mother's subsidy was enough for her to be prosperous.

"Why did the queen remember to call us over today? There are a lot of things going on in Kyoto these days, and our concubines are hiding in their own palaces and don't dare to come out, for fear of causing trouble! "Wei Guifei is yin and yang.

Empress Fu smiled, "What Concubine Wei said is that all the concubines are also worried. Kyoto has been hit hard this time, and those of us in the harem can't help in the palace, and it's good to be able to do something practical as Su Wei and them outside the palace. ”

Su Fengjin stood aside and hooked the corners of her mouth, bowed down and saluted everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, you have a heart, but it's not enough to be afraid." ”

"What does Su Weirate mean?" Wei Guifei lifted her hair sideburns and glanced at her with disdain.

"Weichen means that His Majesty has every opportunity, worries about the country and the people, for the people of Kyoto can't sleep at night, can't eat, and the ministers are also doing their best for this matter, and the people in Kyoto can be said to have money and power. If the harem concubines only hide in their respective palaces, I am afraid that they will not be able to share the worries of His Majesty. Su Fengjin glanced at everyone and lowered her head thoughtfully.

Wei Guifei lowered her eyes and was silent.

I don't know what Su Fengjin is going to say next, but I'm afraid she won't tell Wei Guifei about good things, so Wei Guifei is too lazy to pick up this conversation.

Concubine Yue Xian said at this time, "Su Weishu has something to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it, if we can help, we will naturally spare no effort." ”

Queen Fu smiled, "All the sisters are women, so naturally they are powerless, but this palace has also thought about this matter, and we can still do our best." I don't know how many people have been displaced and lost a lot of money in the place where Kyoto was destroyed by fire, so I would like to ask my sisters to help raise some silver taels. ”

Want silver?

Everyone lowered their heads and stared at their toes, for fear of hitting them. The only thing the women in the harem can count on is silver, is it possible to look forward to Emperor Liang Hui.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Queen Fu smiled again: "As a middle palace, this palace is the mother of the world, and as an example, I have donated everything that can be donated in Chaohui Palace." ”

"The queen is high-spirited, for the country and the people, and the concubines are willing to follow suit. However, there is nothing valuable in the concubine Xiangyun Palace, and she is willing to use the share to offset it, plus the hairpin ring jewelry and savings over the years. I just hope that it can be used for one or two! Concubine Yue Xian took the lead.

Empress Fu nodded approvingly, "Concubine Yue Xian is not worthy of a virtuous word, and when Your Majesty is worried, you are the first to stand up and share your Majesty's worries." ”

"The queen's words are serious, right? Your Majesty has the affairs of the previous dynasty, and our future government is not allowed to interfere in politics! As for the silver...... Isn't there still a treasury, the harem has always been tight, how can you get more silver? In order to establish her prestige in the harem and maintain the hearts of the harem concubines, Concubine Wei naturally had to pay close attention to it.

"Concubine Wei, this year's floods in the thirteen states along the river have left the treasury empty, otherwise Your Majesty wouldn't be bothered. Although the concubines are not many according to their ranks, even if they are the lowest, they are enough to feed the family for half a year, right? The palace doesn't dare to expect everyone to have Wei Guifei's magnanimity, but it also needs to do its best, right? Queen Fu directly stuffed the words to everyone, and she couldn't come out of it.

Wei Guifei sneered and pretended to be embarrassed, "Queen, it's not that the palace is not out, you also know, the palace has been demoted!" ”

Su Fengjin walked to the center of the hall disdainfully and glanced at the concubines, "A few years ago, Weichen also saw that the Internal Affairs Office sent warm satin to Wei Guifei, and sent jewelry and clothes to the concubines and concubines of the palace. ”

Speaking of warm satin, Wei Guifei's face suddenly turned pale, Su Fengjin even dared to mention this? I haven't settled this account with her yet, and now I have the idea of my own money again.

"Concubine Wei, you have been in the palace for many years and have been deeply favored by Your Majesty, and you have a son of King Yong'an, and you can be said to be the most honorable person under the queen in the harem. King Yong'an has saved countless people outside these days and is quite famous, but Concubine Wei is dressed in warm satin, brocade clothes and jade food in the inner palace, doesn't it make King Yong'an's bitterness in vain? Su Fengjin smiled evilly and stared at her coldly.

"You!"

Thousand Prosperity Hall.

Suo Ji bowed down, the whole person was emaciated and haggard, and now he was still sick, and his face was flushed.

"There is no need to argue between the household department and the Ministry of Industry, the accounts of the Ministry of Household have been seen by the palace, and the palace also understands the difficulties of the Ministry of Industry, and everyone has the heart to settle the people, but they are powerless. Hongu was very understanding, but such an argument had no effect, and Hongu had come today to find a way to relieve the people, not a reason for the two of them. ”

Yue Fengshan sighed, "Your Highness, the old minister is ashamed. ”

Suo Ji smiled lightly and waved his hand, "There is no need for Yue Shangshu to say anything about this matter, this palace has already raised silver taels." ”

Emperor Liang Hui looked at Suo Ji in surprise, "Prince, do you want to know how much silver taels you need to make up this time?" Don't talk big. ”

This incident has long made Emperor Liang Hui unable to swallow and has a splitting headache.

"Father, the reason why the household department can't take it out is because of the floods in the thirteen states along the river this year, and the epidemic, which cost a lot, and second, the three major battalions in Kyoto were reorganized and allocated a lot of silver for military supplies, and the third is that Longxi fought against the Yan State...... These are large numbers, but there are some small ones. "Suo Ji has long analyzed the accounts thoroughly.

Yue Fengshan nodded again and again, "Your Highness is right. ”

Suo Yi understood the meaning of Suo Ji at this time, this is to work the silver and win the love of the people. He snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not just that, right?" The East Palace was also built a year ago, and this year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will get married, and the Ministry of Rites will be purchased according to the best, so I'm afraid that the household department will be emptied, right? ”

The Ministry of Rites hurriedly stood up and said with a shirk, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites is all in accordance with the rules, but there has never been a place to exceed the etiquette system." The wedding in the East Palace is not a trivial matter, it is related to the majesty of the heavenly family, and the Ministry of Rites does not dare to slack off! ”

Yue Fengshan chuckled and glanced at Suoyi, "The money in the household department is clear, and it has never been released for nothing." The silver for His Royal Highness the Prince's wedding was indeed set aside, and it was placed in the treasury of the household department, and the Ministry of Rites was also aware of the expenses. King Yong'an's words, could it be that he suspected that the ministers used the treasury to curry favor with His Royal Highness the Prince? ”

"This king didn't mean that, but the construction of the East Palace is a fact. Now that the people are suffering, the East Palace will be married in March, and the people of Kyoto will still be displaced at that time, and I don't know if I will be sad when I see the pomp and circumstance of the East Palace. "Suo Yi's yin and yang weird squeeze Suo Ji, when he married Ning Liufang and Su Luanyue, he suffered a lot of anger, and there was no scenery.
