In the first month of the second year of Chongzhen, the palace and the palace were spent in this festive atmosphere. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Those palace ladies who met the conditions set by the emperor and applied to go home from the palace and return to their parents or brothers have successively received the rewards of the emperor and empress, or under the escort of the eunuchs, or under the welcome of their families, they have begun to leave the palace and return home.

Of course, this is all in the capital city, but it is the suburb of Beijing that can leave the palace so quickly, after all, Emperor Chongzhen is still responsible for the personal safety of these palace maids.

Fortunately, after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing, the vast majority of the palace maids recruited in the Ming court, or the female officials in the palace who came in by draft, were from the Beizhili clan, and the farthest was only Shandong and Henan, and there were almost no Jiangnan women.

And among them, there is a considerable proportion, all of them are girls from people near Beijing.

This problem is not only in the concubine, the palace maid or the show girl, the most typical is still in the eunuch group, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the eunuchs in the palace are basically the Beizhili people, especially concentrated in Baoding, Hejian, Tianjin, the surrounding areas of Beijing.

Therefore, the news that the Imperial Palace Ouchi was preparing to release a group of older palace maids to return home from the palace was officially announced during the Chinese New Year, and soon spread inside and outside the city of Jingshi, and after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, several neighboring prefectures and counties around Gyeonggi were also spread.

But all the people in the family who are on errands in the palace and are palace maids are also interested in it.

Some of these families who sent their daughters to the palace as slaves and maidservants gave up their daughters because of poverty and too many children in the family to support them, and some of them happened to coincide with the royal draft girls, and took the initiative to sign up and send them in case of development.

No matter what the reason is, who doesn't hurt the daughter of his own family, even if it is forced by life or lust for profit, now that a few years have passed, or even more than ten years have passed, which parent doesn't want to see his own girl again?

Therefore, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, those who have calculated the time and know that their girls are old enough, especially those whose homes are in Jingshi, or near Jingshi, or their parents are coming, or their brothers are coming, they all arrive outside the Bei'an Gate of Miyagi, which is rarely visited in ordinary times, and wait.

For more than half a month, the palace maids who were in or near Jingshi went home one after another to reunite with their families.

And those who originally lived in the suburbs of Shuntianfu and could get home within a day were also sent home by the imperial guardian arranged by Gong Zhengsi, and went home from the palace.

Of course, there are also people who go out of the palace, and they can't find their families and return, there are a lot of such cases, and after returning to the palace, they will be transferred to the ranks of the royal family to arrange marriage and then go out of the palace.

And those military attachés who were lucky enough to find the other half of the blind date arranged by the emperor were also married by the emperor, and on the day set in advance, they successively carried the sedan chair to welcome the relatives and took away their brides.

Fierce as a tiger, Hu Dawei, Qi Yuanbi, Liu Zhaoji and other middle-level military attachés who were born in the martial arts hall, and several older and unmarried military attachés were also like Huang Degong, and received the honorable treatment given by the emperor to the newlywed mansion outside Bei'anmen.

After all, they are all about martial arts and the military attaché of the imperial attendant, and Huang Degong's matter is spread so widely, Emperor Chongzhen is not good at favoring one over the other.

As for Yang Dagui, a low-level military attache of the Guards who was born as a former exile, he was also lucky to find a palace maid who was a few years older than himself, as soon as the Lantern Festival ended on the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, his father Yang Bajin and eldest brother Yang Dafu led a group of villagers to the neighborhood, hired an eight-lift sedan chair, and happily married the new daughter-in-law who was born as a palace maid and returned home.

Today's Yang Bajin's youngest son has a future, and he is the eldest son, and the five large tiled houses newly built by the eldest son when he got married are just half set aside for the younger son to marry.

Seeing that his two sons have become families, and he has so many potatoes, sweet potatoes, and corn harvested in the autumn that he can't finish it, Yang Bajin is so happy every day that he can't keep his mouth shut.

Although the palace ladies have been out of the palace one after another to get married, the palace is still strict and orderly after the excitement, and there is no chaos at all.

During this period of time, Emperor Chongzhen spent a lot, first on New Year's Day the court rewarded hundreds of officials, rewarded soldiers, and now is a batch of palace maids out of the palace or married, everyone has to give a dowry, and Tiance Guard, Yu Lin Wei, Guards and Beijing Camp blind date successful generals and officials, although given to the mansion is only a few who have been the imperial attendant military attaché, but the others also give some rewards, which is considered a congratulatory gift.

In this way, nearly one million Chongzhen silver dollars were spent.

But after the money is spent, the pain of the flesh is the pain of the flesh, but the effect is very significant, now inside and outside the Beijing Division, in the Gyeonggi area, whether it is a family related to the marriage of the palace maid out of the palace, or an ordinary person who has nothing to do with it, when it comes to the current emperor Long live the lord and the queen's mother, everyone has to give a thumbs up, and they have to say a good word.

Although the emperor is still a little out of tune in the eyes of the hundred officials, but in their eyes, there are many emperors who are out of tune, and this one in front of him is not the most out of tune.

Although a lot of silver dollars were scattered, Emperor Chongzhen was also a little painful, but looking at the public opinion report of Jinyiwei and Dongchang on the Jingshi and even the area of Gyeonggi, he still felt that it was worth it from the bottom of his heart.

He did not have the luxury of hoping to really be a perfect prince of Yao Shun as Zhu Youzhen promised the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and he never had the luxury of hoping to be loved by all his subjects, but he was still happy to know that the reputation of the royal family was greatly improved among the people of Gyeonggi.

Today, the interests of a considerable number of the people of Gyeonggi have been tightly tied to the royal family, such as the hundreds of thousands of immigrants who resettled Tuntian last year, and the hundreds of thousands of former military households of the former Beizhili Guard Station who have recently been allocated land, at least these people will firmly stand on the side of the Ming court in the face of Jianjun and thieves in the future.

The emperor copied the eunuch party, the clan, the nobles, the Beijing camp, and the five military governors' mansions, although the heads of the people killed were rolling, but these things were only related to those high-ranking magnates in the past, and had nothing to do with the ordinary people and the small people.

And killing these people, on the contrary, made these ordinary people who usually live at the bottom, in dire straits, and oppressed by the powerful, all applaud, anyway, whether they are wronged or not, they are all powerful people who are killed, and they have nothing to do with themselves.

Therefore, although the emperor's reputation has changed from a holy monarch when he killed eunuchs to a tyrant who is greedy for money and murder and lustful in the clear stream of Shilin, it is getting better and better in the hearts of ordinary people in Gyeonggi.

The hearts of the people of Gyeongshi, and even the hearts of the prefectures and counties in Gyeonggi, have finally been redeemed.

And once he has the hearts of the army and the people in Gyeonggi, Emperor Chongzhen will no longer have anything to worry about!

After more than a year of hard work, even if it was only to achieve this, now this Chongzhen Emperor feels that it is worth it.

Because only in this way can the land of Gyeonggi be truly consolidated.

However, it is a pity that Emperor Chongzhen's gratification did not last long, just after the Shangyuan Festival, Jinyiwei, Dongchang and other intelligence agencies sent two urgent information of 100,000 before and after, and the same news was also delivered to the desk of Emperor Chongzhen's Qianqing Palace study through the military aircraft department the next morning.
