Chapter 140: The Imperial Bureau
Today, she had nothing to do, she and Wanhe cleaned the house inside and out, and listened to Yu Qing's instructions, and went to the back mountain with Ye Mei to plant some aloe vera.
The evening lotus stayed to take care of the little prince, and as soon as he came back in the evening, he immediately prepared the meal, and was so busy that he forgot the most important thing.
"Oh, let's eat first." Yu Qing smelled the fragrance, and her stomach had already begun to protest, so she decided to put down the letter and fill her stomach.
Xiyue Wanhe glanced at each other, and it was not strange to serve Yu Qing with dinner, how the emperor was interested in the little master, they all saw it in their eyes, but the little master seemed to be ......
After the two of them packed up the dishes and chopsticks, Yu Qing went to the yard to walk around twice to eat, went to see Feng Jingyuan, who was still sleeping, and then returned to the main house to open the letter.
Reading Yu Qing, she pouted, asked her how she was in the letter, asked Feng Jingyuan how she was, she was very happy, and her heart was warm, but in the end, she actually ordered her to write a letter every three days and send it to the palace, and what about his old man, whether he replied to the letter depends on the mood!
Yu Qing thought about not replying at first, after all, the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if the emperor is not satisfied, he will take her back to the palace to teach a lesson, and it just happens that she has been relieved of her grounding, and she does not have to eat vegetarian and chant scriptures every day.
Seeing the back, Yu Qing completely broke off the idea of not replying to the letter. The emperor seemed to have guessed that Yu Qing would make him petty, and wrote a few big words domineeringly at the end of the letter, if he dared to slack off, he would take Jingyuan back.
"This bastard!"
Yu Qingqi was angry, and slapped the letter paper on the table, such a big movement, surprised Xiyue, and the evening lotus rushed over, thinking that something was wrong.
"Little master, what is this?" Xiyue saw Yu Qing's angry eyes, staring at the letter paper on the table, as if trying to burn it out of a hole.
"The emperor asked me to write a letter to him every three days, and if I don't write it, I'm going to pick up Jing Yuan, isn't it a bastard?" Yu Qing's chest rose and fell, panting, and he did not shy away from counting the emperor.
"Little master, be careful!" Wanhe was anxious and wanted to step forward to cover Yuqing's mouth.
Although it is far away in the sky, the voice of the little lord is so loud that he can't keep the guards at the door from listening, and he turns around and tells the queen mother that the queen mother will definitely cure the little lord of a big crime of disrespect.
"What are you afraid of!" If you want to sue, go and sue, the big deal is a punishment, she has been grounded for six months, and she is afraid of being punished for a few more months, anyway, it is good outside the palace.
Evening lotus, Xiyue laughed in a low voice, and was glared at by Yu Qing, before she closed the smile at the corner of her mouth.
The emperor obviously misses the little master, and wants to use the letter to send lovesickness, if the other concubines receive it, they are unhappy and bloom, and they can't write back a few letters a day, so the little lord has no fear and does not cherish it.
Yu Qing threw away the letter, got up and walked to the bed, she was going to sleep, she woke up and forgot about this trouble, thinking about it or being annoyed, she stomped her feet irritably when she walked to the bed, and then went to bed with peace of mind.
Evening lotus, Xiyue looked at each other and smiled, her little master was very cute.
As a result, early the next morning, Yu Qing still clearly remembered that she wanted to reply to the emperor, but helplessly, she walked to the desk and wrote to the emperor, who made the family the Son of Heaven, the key was to accurately grasp her weaknesses, and she was reluctant to return to the palace.
The emperor's letter demanded that the letter he received must be sincere, sincere, and full of care, otherwise he would take Feng Jingyuan away.
Yu Qing gritted her teeth and began to make up some extremely flattering words, asking the emperor to explain that she should pay attention to rest every day and not often criticize and fold all night.
Writing and writing, I really have a little sincerity to go in.
The two flowers looked at Yu Qing scratching her ears and cheeks on the side, racking her brains to think of words, and felt funny, and later found that Yu Qing was quiet and wrote carefully, so she quietly withdrew.
Presumably, the emperor must be very happy when he receives the letter from the little lord with a heart and a handwriting similar to him.
Because I got up relatively early, it was too late to pray for blessings in the Daxiong Treasure Hall after writing the letter, so I got everything done and waited for Tong Xiao in the house, and as soon as I sat down, Tong Xiao came.
Tong Xiao picked up Yu Qing a few times, and he already knew how to arrange the time, so he also pinched the point, stunned the guards with drugs, and took Yu Qing down the mountain together.
All the way to his mansion and entering the study, Yu Qing saw a person standing inside, with a solemn face, not angry and arrogant, seeing Tong Xiao nodding and nodding, he called the second master, and then put his eyes on Yu Qing.
The man looked at Yu Qing, looked up and down, and arched his hand: "Qing agrees." ”
His tone was flat, but he was very shocked in his heart, the emperor's concubine turned out to be the new ruler of Dingli!
"You know me?" Yu Qing wondered, she had never seen this person, how did he recognize her.
"On that day, at the 100-day ceremony of the little prince, Weichen had a relationship with you." The official nodded and said.
Yu Qing remembered that Feng Jingyuan's 100-day gift that day, the emperor specially ordered hundreds of officials to write congratulatory gifts, but she hugged Feng Jingyuan and took it one by one.
But there were too many people, her face was stiff with a smile at the time, and she still cared about looking at people, even if she did, she probably can't remember it to this day.
"This is Master He, the general political envoy, since you know him, I won't introduce much." Tong Xiao introduced the two to each other.
"Lord He, you can briefly explain to her the situation between the DPRK and China, and let her have a rough understanding, I still have something to do, so I will leave first."
Tong Xiao explained clearly, and then turned around and left.
Yu Qing saw Lord He nodded, and waited for Tong Xiao to leave before speaking: "Lord He, don't listen to Tong Xiao, I want to learn more about the current situation and factions, and I would like you to tell me everything you know." ”
"Now the court is divided into multiple parties......"
Lord He looked directly at Yu Qing, and saw that she was outspoken, as a palace concubine, she did not shy away from her curiosity about the government and politics, and she was stunned when she discovered her desires, so she explained in detail according to Yu Qing's requirements.
Originally, above the court, the officials headed by the queen mother accounted for the majority, and in the past two years, the emperor has been thunderous and iron-fisted, subduing many officials, plus the combination of grace and power, more and more people occupy the emperor's side.
Dingli has trained many people to serve in the court over the years, but at Dingli's request, they have always remained neutral, and the emperor and the queen mother have tried their best to win them over many times.
Because once this middle force is biased towards either side, the balance above the court will inevitably be broken.
"Lord He, what if I want you all to stand on the emperor's side?" Yu Qing asked.
Lord He was taken aback, seeing that Yu Qing's expression was serious, not like a joke, and wondered in his heart, is it because she is the emperor's concubine and loves the emperor, so she wants them to help the emperor completely control the government?
"If the person in power opens his mouth to give an order, the officials will naturally do it." Master Ho said.
The cultivation of this group of talents is just to maintain their position as the leader in the business, and also to facilitate their actions and get more business rights.
But now it's different, the person in power has actually become the emperor's woman, if Yuqing really wants to be like this, they won't complain.
Yu Qing's eyes are deep, she is now a powerful person in charge, and she needs to rely on her power in the court to balance the Empress Dowager Hua and her party.
If you take your refuge on the emperor's side, will everything be solved a little better?
"The person in charge, do you want Weichen to go back and inform your lords?" Lord He asked.
"Let me think again." Yu Qing hesitated.
She really doesn't have a deep understanding of the court situation, so it's better not to judge easily, the Queen Mother Concubine Hua has a huge power, and if she wants to be hostile to it, she still needs to think about it in the long run.
Lord He is noncommittal, no matter how Yu Qing arranges, he will act according to orders, but now it seems that no matter what Yu Qing's decision is, this situation is going to be chaotic!
Yu Qing asked the emperor and the queen mother about the officials on each side, nodded after understanding, and sent Lord He away.
After a few days of training and teaching, Yu Qing got started quickly and had a strong comprehension ability, and Tong Xiao had already let her officially take over Dingli.
"I have considered the method you mentioned, and it can be implemented, and I have notified the governors of the major regions to promulgate this system and implement it immediately."
Tong Xiao found Yu Qing and told her about the decision, which was the result of his discussion with the general gate, to Tong Xiao's surprise, no one objected, and they all thought that Yu Qing's method could make Dingli's power go further.
"Okay, it's January, let's wait and see." Yu Qing smiled confidently.
No one will get along with silver, especially the working people living at the bottom, there are very few opportunities to change their fate in their lives, and now someone has provided it, who doesn't want to turn over, change their lives, and change their fate.
As expected by Yu Qing, shops in other countries have received the new system one after another.
From the first day of implementation, the guys, stewards, shopkeepers, and housekeepers have all been refreshed as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.
In the past, people who were lazy and took a fixed monthly schedule began to enthusiastically sell their own things.
For a time, the profits of major stores doubled, which amazed other stores in the same industry.
There are also stores that send people to buy things from the stores under the name of Dingli, but they do not find any changes in the goods, the quality and price are still the same as before, but the staff are extremely enthusiastic and dedicated.
Whenever I knocked on the side and inquired, the clerk kept silent, even if he wanted to follow suit, he didn't know what to do.
The enthusiasm of the staff gives the customers a feeling that is not ordinarily good, even if the price is a little expensive, many people are willing to buy things in Dingli, which greatly expands the source of customers.
The January deadline was coming soon, and when the clerks received the monthly schedule for the month, they couldn't close their mouths happily, just the percentage was about to catch up with their two-month monthly schedule, and they all sighed that they could finally live a good life.
Tong Xiao also received reports from all over the city, in addition to the good effect in terms of profits, the royal families of many countries began to contact the local Dingli governor, wanting to cooperate closely with Dingli.
Tong Xiao handed the report to Yu Qing, she was not surprised at all, everything was expected by herself.
"I drew a pattern, and you told Juyi Buzhuang to sample clothes according to this pattern, and everyone in the shop will wear uniform clothes in the future." Yu Qing finished sketching the last stroke and handed the few pieces of paper in his hand to Tong Xiao.
Tong Xiao took a look, the basic color of each pattern is similar, but there are some changes in the style of clothing, each pattern is marked with small characters, Xiao Er, steward, shopkeeper, etc., are distinguished according to their positions.
"Why are you wearing clothes like this?" Tong Xiao asked.
