Chapter 471: The loneliest thing is in the heart
The emperor wanted to abolish the internal affairs office and set up a separate internal supervision yamen, and Wu Liangfu naturally became the target of public criticism.
Yu'er also called him for questioning first, and Wu Liangfu was so frightened that he lay on the ground, almost breaking his head, saying that he didn't know about it and that he was wronged.
Fu Lin was very calm, and said to his mother that there should be no outsiders interfering in household affairs, and the affairs of the palace should be resolved in the palace.
He didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the Ming Dynasty and reuse eunuchs, but just let them do chores in the inner palace and never interfere in court politics.
"Those who interfere in the government will be killed." Fu Lin said, "Eniang, I have already thought about it." ”
Yu'er stared at her son and said solemnly: "If you don't interfere in politics, it is inevitable that there will be dirt in private, can you prevent it, Your Majesty?" ”
"Could it be that the prime minister and general must be loyal?" Fu Lin seemed to anticipate all the things his mother was going to question, and calmly retorted, "I will be optimistic about them, besides, it is easier to control in the palace, isn't it?" Both horizontally and vertically are under the noses of your sons and you. ”
Yu'er was a little disappointed: "The emperor has decided?" ”
Fu Lin said: "It's just the diet and daily life of Eniang and I, as well as the concubines, it's just a little thing." ”
People say that cooks don't steal grains and are not abundant, but in fact, the oil and water in the internal affairs office is the pocket money given by the royal family to those relatives of the clan.
The emperor eats a mouthful of rice in the palace, but it is not a matter of buying a mouthful of rice, and it is by no means something that can be passed away by spending a mouthful of rice.
In the years that followed, the royal family and nobles could not catch it, and all the oil and water flowed into the pockets of the internal prisoners. They also have the power to command the palace maids, the guards guarding the city, and even the civil and military ministers.
This ban on not interfering in politics will become a climate in the future, and I am afraid that it will become a piece of waste paper.
"Everything is still in preparation, and it will take about a year to completely abolish and change the Internal Affairs Office." Fu Lin has a deliberate attitude, and changes his impatience in the past, "If there is anything wrong with me this year, you can discuss it with me again, and you will not withdraw if it is a big deal, you must try it first." The ministers don't want those relatives and nobles to dictate your affairs and the affairs of the harem concubines, otherwise they will always feel that I am still an emperor and have no responsibility. ”
Su Mala listened carefully on the side, and looked at Yu'er, the master and servant tacitly understood it, and Yu'er said: "Since the emperor has thought about it, let's try it." ”
"If they come to you for trouble, let them come to the Qianqing Palace to see me." Fu Lin said, "E-Niang doesn't have to pay attention to it. ”
When he walked out of Cining Palace, he saw that Wu Liangfu had a bruise on his head and a purple patch, and there were also scars on his mouth, he must have been beaten by a noble minister who entered the palace to find trouble, and now everyone is looking for him to vent his anger.
"Your grievances are all suffered for me, can you feel better if you think so?" Fu Lin Road.
"Your Majesty ......" Wu Liangfu knelt on the ground and cried.
"You get through it, build the inner court yamen, handle the affairs of the palace well, and make some appearance for the people outside." Fu Lin said, "In the future, if you can puff up your chest, no one will dare to slap you again, your mother has given you a good name, you have to be worthy of these words." ”
Across the palace gate, Su Mala listened to all these words, and knew in his heart that even if it wasn't for Wu Liangfu, the emperor would push Zhang Liangfu and Wang Liangfu out today.
It doesn't matter who is in charge, what matters is that he thinks about his own business now and makes his own decisions.
When Su Mala came back, Yu'er was in a daze, and she said, "Gege, don't you object anymore?" ”
Yu'er suddenly came back to her senses: "What? ”
"What about the internal prison yamen?" Su Mala said, "In the future, even the slaves and maids will be in charge of that side." ”
Yu'er sneered: "They dare to care about you, if there is a day, I will probably be driven out of Cining Palace, out of the Forbidden City, back to Shengjing or back to Horqin?" ”
"Don't say that, you have to be strong." Su Mala said, "How can you really let the servants be the masters in the palace." ”
"I'm afraid that if I press it down, I will break the relationship between me and Fulin. People will always unconsciously pass their mistakes and sins on others, and I have quickly isolated him and Meng Guqing for that incident, but I feel that Fu Lin blames me somehow much in his heart. He really thought that I saw that I was going to marry Dong Ejiayin, because he thought it was no big deal, so he asked the family to marry. Or maybe I knew that he had a heart, so I deliberately married him. ”
Yu'er said coldly: "There is no way to explain this matter, this thorn will always be stuck in his heart, and it will get deeper and deeper." ”
"The slave thinks that you are too worried, and you just think about the dislike between mother and son, so naturally nothing is pleasing to the eye." Su Mala said.
"Then the emperor will do something pleasing to the eye and let me see it." Yu'er said mercilessly, "How much did he do?" ”
"The emperor is still ......"
Up to now, even Su Mala can't say it, saying that the emperor is still young.
But she still advised: "You are very harsh to the emperor, and you always unconsciously compare him with the first emperor and the regent, is this comparable?" ”
Yu'er sighed: "I'm afraid that I will die too soon, and there will be no one to protect him." ”
For this matter, there has been a lot of trouble in the court for a while, and in addition to other state affairs, Fulin has a resolute attitude towards this and is bound to change.
The clansmen who served in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were asked to hand over the power in their hands, and they also resisted vigorously, there was no handover inside and outside, and the palace was chaotic for a time, and the north wind rose in late autumn, and even the charcoal burned in the palaces could not be supplied in time.
But Fulin still gritted his teeth and said to Yuan Xi in Jingren Palace that he wanted her to wear more clothes, and she would definitely be able to burn the fire in two days.
Under the emperor's tough attitude, the abolition of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was finally carried out, and the end of the year was also reached.
After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, in order to stabilize the emotions of the clan relatives, let their women enter the palace to take a look, and Yu'er has been coping with this thing she is most reluctant to do.
Now, Fulin has confiscated all other people's pocket money, and her face has been torn, and she feels that she doesn't need to hold it anymore. Layueli issued an order to revoke this old rule from now on, and the clan relatives ordered the wives to no longer have to enter the palace to serve the concubines from the new year.
At the end of another year, watching Balya and Yuan Xi's bellies getting bigger and bigger, the two children eating and sleeping well, and being happy every day, it can be regarded as something that can be comforted by Yu'er's heart.
Then there is the elder brother, the second princess and the second prince are safe, hugging their grandchildren every once in a while, hoping that they will grow up healthily.
Yu'er felt that she was only in her early forties, and she had already begun to live the life of an old lady, and even her mentality was inexplicably calm, and sure enough, what this person was most afraid of was not aging in appearance, but aging in heart.
She said to Su Mala: "It's hard to hear what I say outside, saying that I am young and widowed, and my blood and qi can't stand it, but in fact, what is that little thing in my body?" The loneliest thing is in my heart, now I have no friends, no sisters, no elders, what is wrong with me, I don't even have someone to discuss and come up with. ”
Su Mala said: "The slave understands that now you can only hope to get some comfort from the children. ”
Yu'er stood under the eaves of the main hall, looked at the sky where even the birds no longer flew and said, "Su Mala, the days in this palace are too difficult, I am about to suffocate to death." ”
Coincidentally, Yuan Xi happened to bring a snack made of pomegranates, came to Cining Palace to ask for peace, and when he walked to the door, he saw the Queen Mother looking at the sky.
"How to stand in the tuyere." Yu'er saw Yuan Xi and said with a smile, "Come in, it's warm in the room." ”
Yuan Xi hurriedly walked over here, and Yu'er said angrily: "Careful your stomach, what are you doing walking so fast?" are all people who want to be mothers, and they are still bouncing. ”
"I'm afraid that the pastry won't taste good when it's cold." Yuan Xi said with a smile, "The head of the imperial dining room, Wu Ya, is about to leave after the New Year, and Pomegranate goes to steal from the teacher every day." ”
Yu'er frowned: "Everyone in the imperial dining room has to be changed?" ”
Yuan Xi suddenly felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said, "Probably...... Right. ”
Yu'er turned around, and Yuan Xi vaguely seemed to hear the Queen Mother muttering: "Don't you even give me the food that suits your spleen and stomach?" ”
Yuan Xi didn't know if she heard this sentence or imagined it, but she kept it in her heart.
She and Sister Barya had long found out that since the emperor decided to abolish the Internal Affairs Office and set up the Internal Prison Yamen, the Queen Mother has been depressed, and they haven't seen the Emperor and the Queen Mother talking and laughing for a long time.
Barya asked Yuan Xi if it was for Concubine Jing's business, after all, the emperor used to like the queen very much, and the emperor was unwilling to abolish the queen.
But these words were all guessed by them, and Concubine Jing's matter disappeared with herself, and no one dared to mention it to the emperor again.
On this day and night, Fu Lin came to Jingren Palace, and according to the rules, pregnant concubines must not sleep, but the rules in Jingren Palace have long been different, and no one cares about it anymore.
"Your Majesty......" Yuan Xi couldn't forget the lonely figure of the Queen Mother under the eaves of the palace, and couldn't help but say, "The Queen Mother doesn't seem to be very happy these days." ”
