Ling Xue, who was standing outside the city gate, suddenly felt deeply that the palace was not his favorite place. It's just that there is a master who has died there, and he willingly stays where he needs it.

At this moment, in the twilight of the palace, Ling Xue heard Xie Ruijiao's words, and his belief was even stronger, he believed that his master would take him out of here and live a free and easy life.

Xie Yuanyu went to Shudi, and before him, King Xian and King Cheng also left Beijing to go to the fiefdom. Only King Kang is still lingering, and King Kang's mansion, which is said to be a fief, is still being repaired. Xie Ruizhu didn't indulge him, and gave him a time limit for leaving Beijing at the end.

In the harem, Begonia will do what she says.

The queen brought in the leading female officers of the Sixth Bureau and the First Division and asked them to sort out the female officials under their jurisdiction. All female officials over the age of twenty-four shall be sent out of the palace. Those who are over 22 years old but under 24 years old can also apply to leave the palace or stay for two more years according to their actual situation.

Similarly, the palace maids of each palace also refer to this standard, but the palace maids have one more, and if the master agrees to stay, they can also apply to stay if they exceed their age.

In this way, the light is strictly released from the palace to the age, and there are many female officials and palace maids in the palace.

"Queen Niangniang, our Shang Palace Bureau cultivates a skilled embroiderer, it is not easy to make art, and those with good craftsmanship are relatively old palace maids, if they are all gone, it will be difficult for the Shang Palace Bureau to ensure the quality!"

Xu Shanggong of the Shanggong Bureau is the maiden niece of the old concubine Xu, and the Shanggong Bureau has also experienced four emperors, and the new emperor has just come to power, and the queen is going to take action against the six bureaus and one division, and cut her people, Xu Shanggong is dissatisfied.

The queen smiled and said: "Xu Shanggong, now there are few people in the harem, and there is less work corresponding to the Shanggong Bureau, which just gives you time to cultivate newcomers." There are now one hundred and two people in the Shanggong Bureau, and even if all the people of age are gone, you still have fifty people.

You see, the emperor abolished 2,000 ministers, that is, overnight, the palace did things according to the rules, and it could still stump you? If you find it difficult to do it, this palace will not be difficult. "The queen's meaning is very clear: if you don't change your mind, you will change people.

Of course, Xu Shanggong was reluctant to give her the official position of a fourth-grade female official, so he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

The queen didn't want to force her, so she smiled again: "If you have the ability to cut until there are only forty people left, this palace can let the remaining forty people in the Shanggong Bureau receive the monthly silver equivalent to the current fifty people, do you think these forty people are enough?" ”

Xu Shanggong not only wanted to keep his official position, but also wanted the extra ten people's silver, his face began to ease, he still gritted his teeth, but said: "Enough!" ”

So the queen asked each bureau to refer to the Shang Palace Bureau, not only to release the palace maids who have reached the age out of the palace, but also to conduct their own craft competitions in each bureau, and the female officials who are ranked lower or unqualified will also be released from the palace if there are no other bureaus and divisions to retain.

Although the concubines of each palace still live in the same place, the number of palace maids and attendants is all configured according to the system of concubines. This will naturally be much less than when I was a concubine.

Concubine Su scolded in private, hating herself for failing to put her son on the throne, and the treatment of the concubine and the queen mother was very different. There is a palace in Nuoda, but there are only about a dozen palace people left. Concubine Su came from grief and cried a lot. But she completely forgot that if the new emperor had three palaces and six courtyards, she would have moved to live with other concubines, so why did she have one palace now?

The queen smiled slightly when she heard this, and she went to see Concubine Yuan in person. The number of people in the palace of Concubine Yuan also decreased, and when the queen entered the door, she found that the palace of Concubine Yuan had become a little different: the side hall doors on both sides were locked, and a row of large flower pots were stopped outside the porch, planted with a person-high four seasons laurel, which looked like entering a forest.

The queen smiled: "The concubine is so ingenious, although there are fewer people, her popularity has not decreased." ”

Concubine Yuan shook her head and said solemnly to the queen: "I know that your husband and wife are kind, let us all live in the same place." But the concubine and the concubine are different after all, they are old, they eat less, wear less, and move around less, so they just wish they could talk to more people. I would suggest that the queen change it. ”

"Concubine, please speak, Begonia is young, in charge of a huge harem, it is true that she has more than enough heart but not enough strength, you can give me advice, that is the best!" The queen was overjoyed, knowing that she had come to the right place today.

"The concubines of our generation, in addition to your mother, the Queen Mother, are not counting the one in the Chiyun Palace, there are seven or eight in total, there are always good people willing to live together, the queen might as well let everyone choose freely, live in the palace together, the original configuration is not reduced, but the silver is combined in one place, and the surplus of the overlapping part is at everyone's disposal. The queen doesn't worry that these old fellows will complain. ”

The words were raised by Concubine Yuan, and those concubines couldn't chew the queen's tongue.

Concubine Yuan and Concubine Liu, the biological mother of the eldest princess, took the lead in proposing to live in the palace, so that by sharing a small kitchen and a common yard, the palace people do not need to take care of a few things alone, and the people are idle, and the silver is saved, and the children of the two are not around, and they can be each other's companions. For a while, except for Concubine Su, the rest of the concubines were also happy when they were in pairs.

The queen also opened a medical women's hall in the harem, and the extra palace maids and female officials who have not reached the age of leaving the palace can go to the medical women's hall to learn medical skills. Ji'er and Liuying both gave Cheng the surname. The two were transferred to the Medical Women's Hall to be the leading female officers and taught them some basic knowledge of medicine and pharmacy.

In addition to seeing patients for palace maids, female officials, and chamberlains, the medical women's hall also has an important function, they will prepare some jasmine powder, rose nitrate, and rose paste by themselves to give to each palace for use, which also reduces the cost of this part of the procurement.

There are fewer people, there are more things, everyone is busy every day, not to mention saving a lot of monthly silver, and even the idlers in the palace who chew their tongues are less.

In this way, the emperor and the queen joined forces to sort out the palace maids and courtiers in the palace from top to bottom. Now the palace is like a home run by themselves.

The Internal Affairs Office also saw one thing, and they realized that the queen, like the emperor, was a cruel person to herself!

The people of the Queen Xuanyun Palace were transferred out, and they were no longer supplemented, and even the internal servants who were not needed at all by Yun Hui's side also arranged other errands in the palace.

Xie Ruijiao couldn't help but rub Haitang's head, and said with a smile: "I cut people in the front dynasty against the opposition, and you cut people in the harem against the spittle stars in the palace, forget it, now you don't even let go of the people around your son, you are really a ruthless mother!" ”

Chang Xi on the side couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, he had already put away his careful thoughts about getting ahead, and from then on he served the emperor wholeheartedly and helped the emperor restrain his internal courtiers. Later, in Xie Ruijiao's dynasty, there was no more such thing as a courtier in power.

However, the emperor has to face much more than a palace. Take a look at the latest chapter of "Fengqi Begonia Claw Book House" and read it for free for the first time.
