Chapter 406: Harem Affairs
Seeing her daughter mention the queen's mother, Mrs. Cao hurriedly spoke to stop her: "Niangniang, there are many people in the harem, you must know that trouble comes from the mouth!" ”
Concubine Cao came to her senses at this time, looked back and forth on several palace maids and eunuchs in the house, and said, "There are some things in this palace to discuss with your mother, you all go out first!" ”
After the palace maids and eunuchs in the house went out one by one, Concubine Cao said again: "Mother, my daughter is more and more aware that there is a chance that the queen is making trouble behind this matter. ”
"Now that the wood is in the boat, it is the queen mother who is making trouble behind her back, and the mother will not dare to say much in the future, let alone react to her face!" Mrs. Cao persuaded her, and remembered Cao Rui's advice before, so she said directly: "Before I came, the old man once told the old body that the old body must inform the mother, and must not mess around in the palace because of this, let alone make trouble in front of His Majesty." ”
"But what the hell is Burma, once Xu'er gets there, some of them will be affected!" Obviously, Concubine Cao is still haunted by this matter.
Mrs. Cao said: "Myanmar is not as unbearable as Niangniang thought, last night I heard the old man say, Myanmar is a very rich place, where rice is three times a year, and it is also rich in jade, it is said that there is jade all over the street, it is not worth at all."
Now that the third prince has been sealed to Burma, although he will not have a chance to fight for the throne in the future, he can still be a rich man in the future. ”
Who did Mother listen to when she said this? How could a father say such a thing? Concubine Cao obviously didn't believe that her father would say such a thing, it must have been her mother who was bewitched by someone to say so.
"Such a big thing, will the old body coax you?" Mrs. Cao explained, "The old man didn't believe in these things before, but yesterday the old man specially called the messenger who came back from Myanmar to ask, and it was only then that he got the proof.
According to the messenger, he had picked up a random stone from the side of the road in Burma and sold it for two taels of silver. ”
"Is that true?"
"It's true!"
"That's not good, everything in Myanmar will be Xu'er's in the future, how can you cheapen others for nothing?" Saying that, Concubine Cao was a little anxious, "No, I'll go to see the emperor and ask the emperor to quickly determine the courtiers who will assist Xu'er in governing Burma, so that they can go over earlier." Going for a day this night is a loss for a day! ”
Seeing that her daughter was about to get up and leave the palace, Mrs. Cao hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry, before coming, the master had already gone to the yamen of the Ministry of Officials, and wanted to stuff several clansmen of our family into it, and return it to the three princes to guard Myanmar." ”
Seeing her mother say this, Concubine Cao breathed a sigh of relief......
Compared with Concubine Cao, Concubine Gao's mood is undoubtedly worse.
What is Borneo?
In the eyes of the noble concubine, it is a place that is not even as good as Myanmar, and the aborigines there are completely foreigners.
So Concubine Gao couldn't sit still and wanted to plead with Zhang Lingyang.
But before she stepped out of the door of the dormitory, the noble concubine stopped again.
Now my situation is different from before.
Since the death of her father Gao Pei, the noble concubine has been like being beaten into the cold palace, and has been claustrophobic in the dormitory for three or four years, although Zhang Lingyang finally released it, but compared with the past, the current noble concubine has completely lost her previous arrogant appearance, and at the same time, she understands the truth of thinking twice.
Now that the decree has been made, it is not something that can be taken back if you want to.
Even if Concubine Gao used a beauty trick to make Zhang Lingyang take back his life, I am afraid that it is unlikely.
What's more, because of her arrogant temperament before, she offended many people, if someone caught her at this time and said that she was a demon concubine, it would be over.
So thinking of this, the noble concubine stopped her steps.
On the other side, after sending Cao Rui away, Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, hurried to the palace with the list to see Zhang Lingyang.
In the Chen'an Palace, Zhang Lingyang met with Chen Yiming, and after looking at the people on the list, he asked: "You said that the people surnamed Cao are all Cao Rui's clansmen?" ”
"Exactly!" Chen Yiming replied: "This morning, Cao Shangshu found Weichen and asked Weichen to write these personnel on the list......
Chen Yiming informed Zhang Lingyang of his meeting with Cao Rui in the morning, without concealing it at all, nor adding fuel to it.
"I know, you go down first, wait for me to think about it, and then make a decision!"
"Yes! Wechen retires! ”
After Chen Yiming left, Zhang Lingyang asked Xiaofuzi: "Who has Cao Rui seen in the past two days?" ”
"Back to the words of the Long Live Lord, as far as the slaves know, since the Great Dynasty Meeting, Cao Shangshu went to see Zheng Ge Lao after leaving the palace, and then ordered someone to find the messenger who came back from Burma, and went to the Yamen of the Ministry of Officials with the list early this morning."
"It seems that Cao Rui is still a little smart!" Zhang Lingyang smiled for a moment, and then ordered: "You immediately send someone to investigate the people in this booklet to see how their virtues are?"
If they are useful, put them on the official list! ”
"Slaves obey!"
Here, as soon as Xiaofuzi went out, Zhang Lingyang thought: "Since Cao Rui has discovered the benefits of Myanmar, he must definitely ventilate with Concubine Cao, and Concubine Cao will not have a little trouble with herself because of this." ”
In fact, Zhang Lingyang doesn't say that he is good at coaxing women, so when he thinks of this, he can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
But immediately, Zhang Lingyang thought again: "Concubine Cao has Cao Rui to handle it, but what about Concubine Gao?" Myanmar is also rich in jade, but what are the famous specialties in Borneo? ”
For a while, Zhang Lingyang really couldn't remember any specialties in Borneo.
If anything, rubber should be regarded as a kind, but Zhang Lingyang seems to remember that it was not until the second industrial revolution was launched that rubber was used on a large scale.
In other words, in the current era, in fact, the role of rubber in industry has not been fully highlighted, so it is not much economic value now.
In other words, Borneo should not be as rich as Myanmar now.
Moreover, the distance between Borneo and the Great Zhou is a bit far, and there is a sea barrier, I think that after the noble concubine knows about the second prince being sealed to Borneo, she will definitely be unhappy.
And in the case of the fact that the three princes were sealed to Myanmar for comparison, I am afraid that I will feel aggrieved in my heart.
But all this is difficult for Zhang Lingyang.
Zi Ah thought about it for a while, and Zhang Lingyang decided to deceive the noble concubine kindly.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lingyang walked out of the Chen'an Palace and went to the noble concubine's bedroom to explain in person.
In Zhang Lingyang's mouth, Borneo is actually a paradise, richer than the Central Plains, otherwise why would the Francophiles go thousands of miles to occupy it?
This time, he coaxed the noble concubine around, and even took out his housekeeping skills in bed that night to serve Zhang Lingyang......
