Chapter 188: Bad Idea
The emperor did not deal with Concubine Chen further, in the final analysis, Concubine Chen was just hearsay, and it was inconvenient to punish the crime.
The emperor has his own considerations.
He is like all shrewd emperors, he can't let power be concentrated in the hands of any one faction of ministers in the court, he has to balance the two opposing sides, supervise each other, and let the other side make as few mistakes as possible.
When the two factions fight, they both want to overthrow each other, so who will be the referee? That is the emperor, then the emperor will have the right to speak, and the power will be concentrated in the hands of the emperor!
This time, Concubine Chen attacked Lian'er and Ma Ya, the emperor had his own considerations, and the emperor knew that Concubine Chen's suspicions were not unreasonable.
Why is the child next to Lian'er under suspicion? The emperor also felt strange, whether Ma Ya was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu or not, the emperor didn't mind much, but if Ma Ya was the daughter of Emperor Huiwu and could walk to the emperor's side, the emperor would have to sober up.
As for others, it's like the upper beam is not right, the lower beam is crooked, Sun Rong is lustful, about these, the emperor is not interested.
He also said that Lian'er was good to Zhou Daqing, but she was the emperor's person when she followed the emperor, and she didn't lose her body when Lian'er married the emperor's Ji'er, she was still a girl's body, and the emperor knew it in his heart.
When Ma Ya spoke in the court, she also erased this point, and Concubine Chen didn't dare to mention it again. This is what the emperor is satisfied with, and he thinks that Ma Ya has brains and can be a man.
Ma Ya borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, Ma Ya also had Ma Ya's considerations, Ma Ya knew that she was a maid, and she would accept it if she wanted to see it, and the emperor couldn't cure Concubine Chen's sin because of a maid, right?
In fact, the emperor's sentence "Concubine Niangniang, you are satisfied with this treatment of Ma Ya" has already severely punished Concubine Chen.
What did the emperor do with Ma Ya?
Could it be that in the end, in order to make Ma Ya happy, Hubu Shangshu wants to do business with Sister Hua to please Ma Ya and let her stop making trouble, this is also a punishment, so this kind of punishment Ma Ya only asks for as much as possible.
This is a slap in the face of Concubine Chen.
At the same time, the emperor did not hold Concubine Chen accountable for the queen's crime, and the emperor was already open.
If this has to be investigated, it will involve many ministers, and the emperor does not want to slaughter ministers like Emperor Fukang.
In the past few years, the emperor has been working on some things, the purpose is to redeem the bad influence of Emperor Fukang's seizure of the throne.
Among them, Da Gao wanted to move the capital, and after Da Gao died, the emperor immediately vetoed this article, and the emperor used the reason of working the people and hurting money to please the people. How easy is it to move the capital? How much manpower and financial resources will it cost?!
At the end of the court meeting, the emperor unexpectedly asked Concubine Chen to sleep that night, which made everyone incomprehensible.
The emperor didn't say anything, Concubine Chen was honestly afraid.
The emperor also has a purpose in doing this, that is, to give Lord Chen and other ministers a reassurance, which means that the emperor will not trouble them afterwards, they can rest assured!
What are the benefits of doing this? At least they can support the resolutions made by the emperor in the future, and don't go against the emperor.
The emperor is doing this to increase the influence of his imperial power, he is also fighting for power with the queen mother, he is also softening the queen mother's party, after all, the emperor is pinching their shortcomings, of course they have to be careful not to make the emperor angry!
Well, regarding the first wave of attacks by Concubine Chen and others, in the end, Ma Ya won and they ended in failure.
But in this matter, the emperor was still taken aback by Ma Ya, who said that he would call those girls from Hualou to recognize people.
The emperor knows that Sister Hua is rich, and Sister Hua completely spent a sum of money to buy these girls, not to mention that identifying the ministers will be messed up, how can the emperor deal with so many ministers? is to identify the emperor's head, and the emperor will be too embarrassed.
So after the emperor went back, he criticized Ma Ya fiercely, and the emperor bluntly said in front of Ma Ya that he had been to those places, and the emperor said that men are like this, although he is the emperor, he also loves to play.
The emperor has nothing to hide from Ma Ya in this matter.
"After you say this, why am I embarrassed to go outside to play in the future? You dead girl, it's damned, you said you would fight with Concubine Chen, why do you want to pull me? Say, "What should I do about this?" โ
"Your Majesty, why don't you share this business?"
"It's not a question of whether to divide or not, how will I get out in the future? If I am recognized by the minister, will I lose all my face, and where is my prestige? โ
"Your Majesty, this is none of my business, if you are short of money, tell me, I can't do anything else." Ma Ya said: "Why don't I ask Sister Hua to find some good-looking girls for you outside and put them in the palace?" Don't go out in the future! โ
"Is there still a shortage of women in my harem? There is no shortage of women! The emperor said: "I want to go out and drink with them, and I feel that only with them can I feel comfortable, and they are not like these women in the palace, cowering, as if I am going to eat them." โ
Ma Ya didn't squeak, Ma Ya just stood there, her face looking to the side.
"Huh? What do you say you should do if you get into trouble? I stopped you from doing this in the court, because the ministers must have known in their hearts after listening to your words, and they must have known that I secretly left the palace for this reason, and if they caught me there in the future, they must have written an excerpt to play, and I can order the black-clothed team to investigate, can't they arrange someone to investigate me? โ
"It's not that hard!" Ma Ya said: "Since you don't want the minister to go to those places, won't it be over if you ban these places of entertainment?" โ
"Banned? Why? โ
"It's very simple, as soon as the people see that you have banned these places, they will applaud, and they will think that you are a good emperor. Besides, do you know what the outside is saying about you right now? โ
"What do you mean?"
"Say that you are fun, delay state affairs, and the country will lose in your hands sooner or later!"
"Bold!" The emperor slapped the table and glared at Ma Ya.
Of course, the emperor is bluffing, and Ma Ya also knows that the emperor is bluffing, so Ma Ya is not afraid of him at all.
Ma Ya said: "This is what the people said, not what I said." Who outside doesn't know that the emperor likes to fight crickets? They all say that you are the emperor of crickets! โ
The emperor rolled his eyes at Ma Ya and said, "What's wrong with the crickets?" I'm busy with state affairs all day, so they are happy? During the reign of Emperor Fokang, he was busy with state affairs all day, so why did they make irresponsible remarks about him? I have fun and don't delay the government, I really have to worry about eating radishes! Also, you just said that when I made a decree, I banned these flower buildings, and how to settle these people after the ban? โ
"If you ban it, it's also your performance, and the people will have a good impression of you!"
"Then how will I have fun in the future?"
"Your Majesty, isn't this simple?" Ma Ya saw that the emperor was staring at her, and Ma Ya said: "After you ban these places, those who can be good will be good, and those who can't be good, won't you let them sing and play musical instruments or something?" Will they be able to support themselves? โ
"You mean to put them together in the Workshop Division? Hey, that's a good idea! โ
"Your Majesty, I didn't say ยทยทยทยทยทยท"
"Okay, okay, go down, I didn't say what you said, dead horse, you don't want to bear any burden on your body."
Ma Ya smiled and went!
Soon after, the emperor issued an edict, and notices were posted everywhere throughout the country, banning all flower buildings, and within ten days, all those who operated these places again would be imprisoned once they were found!
The emperor decreed, this can frighten the Zhonghualou, the girls inside, seeing that they are about to lose their jobs, they are also panicked, and ask the officials who come to the door, what should they do?
As a result, they received the reply that anyone who felt that they were good-looking and had a skill could report to the Department of Teaching and Workshop to fight for a limited number of places, and after studying and training there, they would be supported by the government.
In any case, it is not allowed to be opened.
Let's say that those women with ordinary appearances, old women, crying and crying, they don't know where they should go, many of them have no home, or they have a home that they can't go back to, for fear of losing the face of their parents and brothers, because they were all abducted and trafficked in the first place.
The old bustard saw that the flower building couldn't go on, but what about these women?
They also thought of a way, they couldn't save them and let them go, and in the end, they had to make a fortune on them.
How to make it, that is to sell them.
Those who look good, those who are fifty two hundred taels are sold out, and those who are older and look average, even those who are ten or twenty taels have to be sold, and they can earn a little is a little.
So soon, some officials and businessmen bought the good-looking ones and said that they were subordinates, and the ones that were not good-looking and old were cheap. The singles borrowed money and scraped together money to buy them back as wives.
After these women arrived at their house, although they were poor, they had a place to live after all, otherwise they would really be living on the streets as beggars!
The emperor listened to the report of the people below, saying that those good-looking women were more sought-after, some were sold for 1,000 taels of silver, and there was a girl who was bought by a merchant for 10,000 taels of silver.
Emperor Ji'er panicked this time, and said that he would let the beautiful girl sign up by herself, but the bustard secretly refused to let people go, and they wanted to keep it and sell it for money.
The emperor immediately asked his subordinates to do it, so that all the flower houses were suspended, and if there were violators, in addition to hitting the board, they would also have to be fined.
The fine is based on how much they sell.
The old bustard panicked and asked the emperor what this meant? If you open it and don't allow it to be opened, and you don't let it be sold, do you want to bring them back to feed for nothing? Doesn't that make sense? Feed a pig and sell it for money, what's the use of feeding them, isn't it a loss?!
The official explained, saying that it was not that he would not sell it, but that he would have to wait for the government to pick it up, and then sell it if he had leftovers.
The bustard will understand this time, the government wants a beautiful girl!
The old bustard screamed in his heart, this time it was a big loss, they knew that the government would not give them money when they came to pick people here.
Fortunately, in each flower building, the government also picked two of them, and then gathered these people and took them to the Department of Education for training.
They sold the rest.
Because this idea was made by Ma Ya, after Ma Ya first learned the news, she also asked Sister Hua to choose before the emperor made a move.
Ma Ya asked Sister Hua to let people go to various flower buildings in the northern capital, picked twelve beautiful girls, spent a lot of money to hire famous musicians, let the musicians train them, and invited Mr. Teacher to teach them to read, and all the expenses for their three meals a day were provided by Sister Hua.
What is Ma Ya doing this?
Ma Ya is useful.
These are all girls who came out of the flower building, and Sister Hua gathered them in a house for training, and when the training was completed, Sister Hua wanted to use them to reward the officials who did business for them.
Ma Ya said that this is also a means of making money.
Sister Hua has raised so many girls, and it doesn't cost a lot of money to eat and drink, but if the officials want to have fun with them now, they have to do things for Sister Hua.
Sister Hua used them for a treat!
It's a means of fighting for money.
In the future, you will know that it is not only officials who do things for Sister Hua, but also many big business managers who do business, and they also come to Sister Hua to cooperate in business, such benefits are self-evident, they are also admired, these girls cultivated by Sister Hua, that temperament is different, they can sing and dance, poetry and painting, they can coax men out of the body, so that they will not forget them in their hearts after leaving.
You must know that these girls raised by Sister Hua, Sister Hua is not a flowering building, but uses them to entertain guests, which does not cost them money, you and I are willing to be together, there is no money to buy and sell, and the above cannot be controlled.
As for some wealthy officials, they also bought them, and some bought several of them at once, saying that they were going to work in the government, but in fact they were going back to drink with them for fun.
Hundreds of girls came to the workshop, and after careful selection, one hundred and twenty remained.
Emperor Ji'er waited until half a month later, and then went to the Teaching Workshop Division to watch the performance of these girls.
The so-called performance is to dance, play the pipa and sing, drink and play games with the emperor, and the emperor catches them blindfolded.
There are also some games that are not very easy to write about, so skip them.
In fact, it's like the emperor entering the flower building alone, but this time they are raised by the imperial court, and the emperor doesn't spend money to have fun outside.
This is Ma Ya's bad idea.
The advantage is that the emperor can live in the midst of lust, but the social atmosphere has changed, many women complained that men were cold to them, and now after Hualou was banned, men had to obediently return to the family to love their daughters-in-law.
There are also some women in the flower building who took their own jewelry to redeem themselves, and some quietly talked to the bustard about the conditions, such as the bustard wants to sell fifty taels of silver, and the silver is paid by her.
They all went on their own.
The so-called single household is a person who rents a house and then secretly does a leather business.
They usually pay a certain fee to the officials who come to inspect above, which is the so-called protection fee, and they should just turn a blind eye, anyway, the impact of this matter is not very big.
They are usually kind to others, and no one will denounce them.
They're just going to be caught, and they're going to spend some money, and they're going to be let out again, and they're going to keep going!
This idea was Ma Ya's idea!
In other words, this is the first thing Ma Ya participated in the management of this country.
Ma Ya is killing two birds with one stone by doing this, she wants to bring the emperor badly.
You must know that those women are not allowed to get pregnant, there is an unwritten rule that if they are pregnant, they must have an abortion.
Of course, these girls were also told what to do in order to prevent pregnancy.
The emperor is obsessed with these women, so he has no interest in the girls who come in the draft.
Those show girls, their courage is incomparable to these girls in the flower building. These girls in the flower building can play games with the emperor naked, can they? Their upbringing does not allow them to do so.
Let the emperor Ji'er indulge in such a game, which makes everyone take their eyes off Ma Ya's nephew and focus on the emperor.
Ma Ya also considered to protect his nephew.
So what is Ma Ya's next move?
Please see the next breakdown.
