Chapter Ninety-Seven: Happy Event

Emperor Zhengxi's big seal of the six palaces this time, although the edict has not yet been issued, but the well-informed, has already received the news, knowing that this Jin Feng is a rare large-scale gesture since the emperor ascended the throne, the old qualifications in the harem, the meritorious childbearing, the mother's family, and the favor in recent years,...... All of them have been awarded the Jin Seal, but none of them are conspicuous in Yuanchun, from a small female history, soaring to the sky, and suddenly being named a virtuous concubine, staying in Fengzao Palace, attracting the attention of the six palaces.

It stands to reason that the Great Seal Six Palaces is a happy event, but when I arrived at Emperor Zhengxi, I was happy for a long time, and suddenly thought of the extra expenses because of the Great Seal Six Palaces. What's more, after the sealing of the harem, not to mention the increase in the use of these concubines, even the tide of Yulu has risen; There are also the extra expenses of the people, palace maids, and chamberlains who serve them; …… It's all about asking for money, and thinking of this, Emperor Zhengxi couldn't help but feel distressed.

He, the emperor, has been worried about money since he ascended the throne, and the household department will always have no money, and this lack of money is not a matter of one or two years, it has been a long time. As a result, not only did his enthronement ceremony be shabby, but even in order to raise money, he stole the antiques in the palace out of the palace and sold them. Throughout the ages, being an emperor has been poor to this point, and he is probably the first.

Although the wool industry presided over by Wu Jiugong has now been profitable, and it is really not a little profitable, but the country is so big, there are too many places that need to use money, and this industry has just started, and it can't be supported; In addition, the Emperor Taishang knew about this and implied that he would honor him, so he had no choice but to give the Emperor a part of the profits; Therefore, on the emperor's side, the hand is still very embarrassed.

King Fujun entered the palace to report the profits of the wool industry this season to Emperor Zhengxi, and when he saw his sad face, he couldn't help but ask: "Sixth brother, what are you worried about?" ”

Emperor Zhengxi looked at the cost of repairing the Xiaotangshan Hot Spring Palace handed over by the Internal Affairs Office, and said, "What else can I worry about, worry about money." In order to save money, since I ascended the throne, I have not dared to leave the palace except for the indispensable royal martial arts event such as hunting in the West Mountain. But even so, he is still poor. Stretched out his hand and clicked on the fold on the table to apply for the repair cost of the hot spring palace, "No, seeing that winter is coming, the old man should go to the hot spring palace to recuperate, this expense, I am worried about where to borrow it?" ”

Although Emperor Zhengxi was frugal in every way, but after the abdication, Emperor Taishang, who was still a little restrained when he was the emperor, did not care whether the household department had money, or no money, how to enjoy it. Emperor Taishang has power in his hands, and a "filial piety" is pressed on the head of Emperor Zhengxi, and in addition, there are two brothers who covet his throne on the side who keep picking thorns, so no matter how difficult Emperor Zhengxi is, he has to grit his teeth to supply the emperor's extravagant expenses.

Originally, the king of Fujun also didn't know the lord of the world's economy, but after a long time, he also knew some "corruption", thought about it and said: "Sixth brother, otherwise, the reason why the cost of repairing the hot spring palace and the camp department is so high every time is that a large part of the expenditure is freight." Wu Jiugong, the subordinate of the younger brother, has a little friendship with Cao Yun, so he can come forward to talk to Cao Yun about things such as wood, stone and tiles purchased by Jiangnan, so that he can save a lot of money. ”

Emperor Zhengxi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he was obviously moved, but he did not immediately make an order, but told King Fujun about his entry into the palace this time.

In the past few days, after he issued the holy decree of the Great Seal of the Six Palaces, when the Six Palaces were celebrating, the great eunuch Gao Shien beside him showed a trace of tone to the outside world, talking about the matter of "provincial relatives".

It turned out that Emperor Zhengxi was considerate of the hearts of thousands of people. There is nothing more important in the world than the word 'filial piety', and the nature of parents and children is the same, not the difference between the high and the low. He served the Empress Dowager day and night, and he could not fulfill his filial piety. Because seeing that the concubines and concubines in the palace have been in the palace for many years, how can they not think about it if they leave their parents' voices. In the children's mind, parents are divided into what should be thought; If the parents are at home, they only miss their children and cannot see them, and if they become sick or even die because of this, they will be imprisoned by me, and they will not be able to fulfill their wishes, and it will also greatly harm the peace of heaven. Therefore, the queen mother, every 26th day of every month, allows her pepper room dependents to enter the palace and wait to see.

So the Empress Dowager was overjoyed and praised today's filial piety and pure benevolence. Therefore, the two old sages made another decree and said: When the family members of the Jiaofang enter the palace, there will inevitably be a national body and ceremony, and the mother and daughter will not be able to be comfortable. In addition to the grace of entering the palace on the 26th, where there is a house of Chongyu Courtyard, you can be stationed in the place of defense, you may wish to invite the inner court Luan Yu into its private affairs, you can do a little bit of flesh and blood, and the nature of the family.

After King Fujun heard this, he heard that Emperor Zhengxi had quietly sent people to Jiangnan to buy the materials used in the construction of the provincial villa, the flowers and trees decorated, and the decorations and other dry supplies used in the construction of the provincial villa, and he couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, his sixth brother's brain turned fast enough, and he obviously felt that sending people to Jiangnan only bought materials for the repair of the palace, and felt that it was not cost-effective, so he made the name of this provincial family and made a lot of money.
