168 Wives Assembly
Emperor Chongzhen had many concubines, but the famous one was a queen and two concubines. At this wife's conference, only these people have a place to sit, and the others are too low to stand below.
Hu Guang glanced at the women below and tried his best to recall, but found that there were a few women he didn't know. Well, it's true that there are so many wives that I can't remember the name.
In later generations, there may be many otaku who will envy the three thousand beauties of the harem, "eat" one and "spit out" one, and enjoy the blessings of all people. But this kind of is mostly YY, if you really want to encounter this situation, most of the people in later generations, because they have more humanity than the ancients, will have a headache about it.
Hu Guang is no exception, and he has a bit of a headache when he looks at so many girls. But since she is already her own concubine, it is impossible to let it go, so she can only wait to find out later.
He first greeted Empress Yi'an with many wives, and then began to discuss the matter, saying to them: "Since the invasion of Gyeonggi, a lot has happened. Originally, the ancestors said that women were not allowed to interfere in politics, but there are some things that have something to do with you, so I thought about it, and I also talked to you, hoping that you would support me and cooperate with me. ”
When Empress Yi'an heard this, she nodded her head and said, "The emperor said it clearly!" ”
Many concubines rarely see the emperor, and at this time, if they don't brush their sense of existence, they will wait for when, therefore, they all opened their mouths to echo, and a beautiful voice sounded in the warbler.
"In order to clear the wilderness, I ordered the burning of Tongzhou's grain; When he retreated, he set fire to several towns, plundered all his belongings and young people, and left behind millions of old and weak. For this reason, I have ordered the Jingshi to implement grain control, and all grain will be controlled by the imperial court and food rationing. ”
"Your Majesty, the concubines may be used less." Tian Guifei was extremely smart, and immediately heard the implicit meaning, and immediately opened her mouth to speak.
Queen Zhou glanced at her, nodded and said: "The concubine is the master of the harem, and she should cooperate with Your Majesty. ”
By this time, the emperor's intentions had been very clear, and these emperors' women, whether they wanted to or not, had to express their support.
Even if it is Queen Yi'an, she understands the meaning of being invited over, and she is afraid that she will have to reduce her use. However, she also understands the righteousness and does not want to use her identity to fight for special treatment, so she has no opinion.
Who knows, the emperor still has something to say, only to hear him say: "Now that the war has passed, it has reached the stage of rewarding meritorious deeds." But the imperial court not only has no food, but also no money to reward, but there is still a period of time for these things to be solved, and I will find a way to solve them. But there is one thing, I need money urgently, and I can't wait for me to have money. ”
"......" Kunning Palace was very quiet, and all the women looked at the emperor with a little surprise, vaguely understanding what the emperor wanted to do, and suddenly, several women felt liver pain.
I only heard Hu Guang continue: "You should remember that late at night a few days ago, Jianyu almost attacked the city, right? ”
Although most women know about it after the fact, in retrospect, they are still quite scary. If Jianyu invades the city, these concubines will definitely suffer.
Hu Guang glanced at them and then said: "Many soldiers desperately resisted Jianyu, and without them, we wouldn't be able to talk about things here in peace now." Therefore, I promised to build a Ming Loyal Martyrs' Hall to worship the dead of the national war. This matter is very urgent, the imperial court has no money, and the inner treasury is also not enough. Therefore......"
Quietly in the Kunning Palace, all the women stared at the emperor and did not speak.
After Hu Guang paused, he said his ultimate goal: "I decided that this money will come from the palace, and some gold and silver utensils in the palace, as well as gold and silver jewelry, need to be collected, and we will all make up and make a contribution." ”
To be honest, this matter, for ordinary concubines, must have opinions. What does the woman in their inner palace do with this outside matter? Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there seems to have never been such a thing. As an emperor's woman, is about to fall to such a point?
However, such thoughts can only be thought of in the stomach. No woman had dared to bring it up in front of the emperor. Those women who have status and are qualified to put forward different opinions are also known as virtuous people, and it may be unrealistic for them to take the lead.
Sure enough, under Hu Guang's gaze, Empress Yi'an immediately nodded and said, "State affairs are like this, and there is no way to do it." Although this palace is a woman, it is also appropriate to be able to do her part for the country. ”
Queen Zhou also expressed her position and said that she would also take out her own private money. Whether Tian Guifei and Yuan Guifei want to or not, the two giants in the palace have expressed it, and they naturally follow suit, driving other concubines, no matter how much, they must express their expressions.
Hu Guang nodded secretly in his heart, the queen concubine is reasonable, but she also saves herself a lot of worry, not bad!
In fact, there are other ways to solve the matter of raising money for the Daming Martyrs' Hall. However, Hu Guang didn't think about it, and decided to use the power of the harem to solve it. It's not that he wants to embarrass his wife, but he wants to grasp the military power and get the support of the warriors, and the more he uses this means to raise the Ming Loyal Martyrs' Hall, the more he can win the hearts of the warriors and win the prestige foundation for his military reform.
As for the royal face, he comes from later generations, so naturally he doesn't value it as much as the ancients, as long as he can receive benefits, he won't mind.
The purpose of Hu Guangkai's wife conference is because the palace wants to set an example, not only to control food, but also to collect silver taels. If such a thing spreads, it will really damage the royal face.
After such communication, under the leadership of these wives, do a good job in the harem, and such a thing spreads, although it seems that the royal face is damaged on the surface, it will be laughed at by some people. But in fact, for most people in the Ming Dynasty, there will be a huge demonstration effect, which can not only deter some noble princes in the capital city, but also gain huge prestige.
Hu Guang is also glad that Queen Zhou and others are very virtuous. For Empress Yi'an, it is reasonable and reasonable, Hu Guang still wants to avoid her side of the frugality.
But Queen Yi'an was very insistent and said that she was no exception. In the end, everyone in the harem has to be frugal. The collection of property will take a few days, and this matter will be handed over to Queen Zhou and the two concubines to preside over, and Hu Guang will not worry about it.
However, Hu Guang also said that when the country is on the right track, he will double down on them. After finishing this matter, Hu Guang, who was spinning in a row, immediately rushed to the next stop.
