Chapter 129: A Hot Idea (Part I)
The winter is getting deeper, and the Guangdian tower of Da'an Palace is also infected by Xiao Se, and it is cold.
The ministers stepped into the Zichen Hall according to the past hours to meet Emperor Zhaoren.
Perhaps because of the frontier war, Emperor Zhaoren has recently lost a lot of money, and his already well-defined chin has become a little thinner, but it is more majestic than before. "This year's Winter Solstice Festival, everything is simple."
Emperor Zhaoren made great efforts, and there was a war in the imperial court, and the harem headed by the queen mother and the queen was repeatedly reduced, and the Ministry of Industry and Household also made great efforts everywhere to avoid excessive burdens on the people due to excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do."
Emperor Zhaoren raised his eyes and looked at Qin Siyuan, who was out of the ranks: "What does Qin Qing have to play?" ”
"The vision of the emperor's mausoleum, the rumors in the capital are noisy, the minister thinks that it cannot be ignored, and before Jiang Duwei finds out the reason for the matter, it should be properly handled, otherwise the rumors will intensify, and where is the majesty of the royal family?" Qin Siyuan was demoted three levels in a row because of the Zhao family's unjust case before, and his position in Zichen Hall was also moved from the front row to the back row at this time, but it did not affect his service for Concubine Hui and help Empress Chen stir up trouble.
Emperor Zhaoren frowned slightly, and there was a little imperceptible coldness in his words: "What Qin Qing said is reasonable, so according to what you see, how to calm this matter?" ”
Qin Siyuan didn't have the courage to touch the tiger's ass twice, and he didn't want to come out again when he provoked the conversation, so he immediately excused himself: "The minister hasn't thought of an idea for a while, I wonder if other adults have a good plan?" ”
The officials standing in front of and behind him secretly shouted shamelessly in their hearts, just stir up trouble by themselves, and pull them together. They all bowed their heads slightly involuntarily, hoping that they would not be named by Emperor Zhaoren.
It's about respecting the imperial concubine, who dares to say more? The others listened to it and wanted to go up and slap him. If it is a disaster for the demon concubine of the country, it will always be reasonable, but an ordinary concubine is just a little more favored, and there is no heir, and she passed away early, so she has to do something about this?
This Qin Siyuan's brain is broken? Is this a showmanship or a send-off?
Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Emperor Zhaoren snorted coldly: "What, you don't have anything to say?" ”
Qin Hei saw that there was no one to take advantage of, and he secretly complained, how could he want to wade into this troubled water, but his own sister Concubine Hui had already boarded Empress Chen's thief ship. The Qin family is already weak, since he was demoted, now he basically relies on Concubine Hui's support, the Qin family and Concubine Hui are one, although he is annoyed that his sister makes decisions without consulting him, but if he refuses Queen Chen at this time, he will undoubtedly make the difference between bad and worse, he has no other choice, he can only bite the bullet.
"Your Majesty, Master Puyun sat down and left the relics, it is better to go to the palace to worship for a period of time, and it will definitely put an end to speculation and speculation from all parties."
Emperor Zhaoren had already heard about this matter, and when he heard this, he looked at the others, "Do you have any objections?" ”
"Your Majesty, welcoming the relics into the palace must cost a lot of money, and the ministers think that it is not appropriate to make a big move at this time." At this time, it's too late to save money everywhere, and when you hear it, it costs money, so the household department will not do it first.
And the Ministry of Industry has the most money and grain scheduling, and there are more places to spend money, and every day I want to pick out money from the household department, of course, I don't want to make any more details at this time, and I also said: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”
Qin Siyuan broke out in a cold sweat and said: "Your Majesty, the people are the foundation of the country, at this time, you must not ignore it and let it develop......"
Emperor Zhaoren frowned, looked around at the expressions of everyone in the main hall and thought for a while, and said, "Qin Qing's words are quite reasonable. ”
As soon as Qin Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief, Emperor Zhaoren continued: "It's just that the treasury dispatch should not be misappropriated, if you want to welcome the relics into the palace, you have to think of other ways, since this proposal was put forward by Qin Qing, this matter will be left to Qin Qing to find a way!" Rumors are rife in Beijing, and it is true that they should not be ignored, and I will give you three days to find a way to resolve this matter for me. ”
Seeing this, the others threw the hot potato back to Qin Siyuan, since you are so worried about this matter, then you can find a way! That's a clever trick! Everyone looked at Qin Siyuan's eyes full of sympathy, of course, there were also those who gloated, and there were those who were glad that they were not trapped.
Qin Siyuan looked at Emperor Zhaoren who was sitting upright in amazement, and even forgot the rule that you can't look directly at the emperor, "Your Majesty...... Minister......"
"Okay, I'm tired, retreat."
Qin Siyuan saw that Emperor Zhaoren had already gotten up, and he didn't dare to say another word, the sweat on his forehead was even more fierce, and he didn't know what to do. Let him raise money? Where does he go to raise money? The last time the Buddha bones entered the palace was more than 30 years ago, when he was still young, he only remembered that the honor guard of the day to welcome the relics was surrounded by colorful flags and umbrella covers, from the Great Bodhi Temple to the city along the way spread all over the incense, candles and flowers, the ears lingered with the sound of chanting and Buddha music, the people sandwiched to the welcome, the grand occasion was unprecedented.
However, this was only his general impression, and how much manpower and silver taels it would actually cost was not something he could imagine out of thin air.
If you want to know the specifics, you have to go to the household department to check the archives of the year.
Thinking so, he turned around to look for Xue Liang, the servant of the household department, but everyone had already left the Zichen Palace in twos and threes, and each went to deal with official business, so he stopped thinking first, and planned to send a message to Concubine Hui to discuss what to do about this matter.
After all, he is standing up for Queen Chen, and the other party can't just look at it, right?!
………………
Jiang Rin temporarily left the capital, and Qing Ruxu also got busy.
First of all, the Chen family's affairs must find a breakthrough, and secondly, the matter of Qi Ayaxue cannot be easily revealed, and the other party listened to the matter of the approval and told Concubine Hui that it was clearly to put herself in the pit of death, and of course Qing Ruxu would not let her go.
However, at the end of the year, the day when Song Ying came out of the pavilion was approaching, Qing Ruxu thought in her heart, and often had to run to Song's house, and did her best to help Song Ying do something.
As soon as she was in Song Ying's boudoir that day, she saw her there in a circle, and couldn't help crying and laughing, and said helplessly: "My little cousin, it turns out that you are actually a spinning top?" ”
Before her daughter's family got married, she was surprisingly worried a lot, when she married Jiang Rin in the previous life, she was also like this every day, constantly imagining what would happen in the future, good and bad, she could figure out thousands of things, so Qing Ruxu could understand Song Ying's mood.
When Song Ying saw her coming, he grabbed her sleeve and said nervously: "Cousin, you said that the Song family and the Xuanping Marquis Mansion are now being reused by the emperor, and our two families are married, and it is not what kind of incident will be caused by the Tao?" ”
Qing Ruxu sat down and looked at her in surprise: "Why did you suddenly think of this?" ”
Song Ying thought a lot, and couldn't help but worry on his face: "It may be that there have been a lot of rumors outside recently, I listened to these rumors, and I felt that the DPRK was changing rapidly, and somehow, I thought of this......"
Qing Ruxu listened to her explanation and smiled dumbly: "The emperor has not intervened much in this matter from beginning to end, and even the queen mother has given a generous gift, which shows that the palace recognizes the marriage between the two of you." ”
"Is that so......" Song Ying was still a little worried.
Qing Ruxu nodded and said with a smile: "You just need to wait to be your bride with peace of mind!" Naturally, someone will worry about other things for you! ”
Song Ying also smiled when he heard this.
Qingru Xu picked up a crystal clear candied fruit, "What else do you need my help with?" ”
Song Ying glanced at her, and went to scratch her itch, "With my mother here, and you to help discuss, I didn't intervene from beginning to end, you know better than me, and now you actually came to ask me......"
Qing Ruxu was most afraid of this, so she hid and laughed: "You are surrounded by everything, and it must be foolproof to have your aunt and uncle to worry about you, and I will just ask in vain." ”
"I got married in front of my cousin, and when the time comes, I'll tell you about my experience, and my cousin won't be so panicked when she gets married, you see if I'm a thief!"
Qing Ruxu snorted lightly with a slight smile and said, "I'm afraid that you will be embarrassed by the time come, and you won't say more!" ”
Song Yingqiao's face suddenly turned crimson, thinking that if such a boudoir remark was heard by others, she would be ashamed to death. She quickly diverted the topic: "Let's go, cousin help me look at the wedding dress, I always feel as if there is something missing." ”
She pushed Qingru Xu into the inner room, and the fiery red wedding dress was hung on the shelf. Lin is such a daughter, naturally to use all kinds of thoughts on her, this wedding dress is the best whether it is material or female red, since she has been married, it has been more than half a year now, and this wedding dress has just been completed.
"It's been so detailed, but the girl still feels that something is wrong. Cousin, take a look, what's missing? "Pu Cao was seriously injured in the Xuanping Marquis Mansion last time, and he has only recovered for a short time, and his face is still a little weak at this time, but Song Ying's happy event is in front of him, so it has diluted a lot. She pulled her wedding dress and asked Qingru.
Qing Ruxu circled around the wedding dress and said with a smile: "Hmm...... I think it's missing a compliment from the groom's officer! ”
Song Ying couldn't spare her anymore this time, so she threw herself on the couch and made a mess, and she had to stop if she told her to spare.
"You don't know, my mood these days is really complicated, I will be out of the cabinet in a few days, both happy and reluctant, Daddy and Auntie look at me differently during this time. I can't stop feeling sad in my heart...... Although Xue Zhun said that he would become a relative in the future, and his mother's family was so close, he could come back at any time, but it was different. ”
"Why do you have to think so much, you always have to take this step, although the temper of the county lord of Yongping is stronger, he is also a reasonable person."
"Hmmm......"
Qing Ruxu knew that it was useless to persuade her, and some things could only be known if they were sweet or sour, bitter or spicy until they had experienced them.
"By the way, cousin, didn't Gongzi Jiang go to the emperor's tomb to investigate? Don't have any exact news yet? ”
"He did send a few letters, but he didn't say anything about it."
"Recently, there have been a lot of rumors in Beijing, all saying that the change in the emperor's tomb is an ominous sign of a disaster from heaven. Some people also say that there are demons in the palace, and respecting the imperial concubine is to remind the emperor. There are also people who make a fuss about Princess Chonghua, saying that she is a demon and suddenly became favored, and she used witchcraft to confuse the emperor and make people panic. ”
