"I will also take Yinzhen to Cining Palace and Ciren Palace of the mourning family on the first day and end of the month at the beginning of each month, as well as every Friday every month, to greet the Empress Dowager and the mourning family, and you will be able to see Yinzhen at that time."

Xiaozhuang is old, the most annoying palace concubines are chattering in their ears, so they want to cancel the palace concubines to Cining Palace to ask for peace, but Emperor Kangxi does not agree, in the end, with the consent of Xiaozhuang, set the beginning of the month and the end of the month, by the palace concubines to Cining Palace to ask for peace, it was also at that time, Emperor Kangxi set the palace concubines to go to Ciren Palace every Friday every month to greet the Empress Dowager Renxian.

In fact, the Empress Dowager Renxian's thoughts are the same as Xiaozhuang's, she likes to be quiet, and she doesn't want the palace concubines to go to Ciren Palace to ask for peace, she just wants to live quietly with her own son, but Xiaozhuang disagrees,

She is because she is old, so she wants to be quiet, and although the Empress Dowager Renxian is the queen mother, she is still young, if she lives like an old woman with her, wouldn't it be too boring, so after discussing with Emperor Kangxi, he decided to go to Ciren Palace every Friday every month to greet him.

That is, the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth of each month.

The Empress Dowager Renxian saw that the palace concubines had asked for peace only once more than the Empress Dowager, so she acquiesced to the arrangement of Xiaozhuang and Emperor Kangxi.

"As long as Yinzhen is well, the concubine will know enough in her heart."

Wu Yashi is like this, but she is thinking about her son and her Yinzhen all the time in her heart, but she knows that she can only think in her heart, and she can't make a wrong step, so that there is always one, Yinzhen will return to her side, and will call her a mother.

Mountains, rocks, plants and trees all have hearts, let alone people?

She thought about her son, these rules had to be pressed in the bottom of her heart, but if she was given the opportunity, she would show her son her heart as a mother, so that sooner or later, she would get her due reward.

Wu Yashi remembered what Ye Xia had said to her in the Imperial Garden, and during the confinement, she wanted to understand the meaning of those words, so she no longer wrote resentment in her eyes and hung it on her face, she had to endure it, she had to endure it with her unwillingness, and waited for her son Yinzhen to recognize his biological mother!

"If only you could figure it out."

Ye Xia's words were light, and he didn't continue the topic. Wu Yashi sat in Ciren Palace for a while, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and couldn't help but get up, his face was slightly embarrassed, and he said goodbye to Ye Xia. Seeing the strangeness on her, Ye Xia didn't stay long.

The first time you eat a meal infused with spiritual spring water, it will be covered with a shiny black film, which is formed by the body magazine oozing out of the skin, and Wu Ya's retirement is such a reason.

"Lord, You ......"

Walking out of Ciren Palace, Qin Xin, the new palace maid who served by Wu Ya's side, opened her mouth, thinking about something, but she couldn't spit out the words for a while. Wu Yashi was strange, frowned slightly, and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there something dirty on my face? ”

Qin Xin nodded: "On the lord's face and neck, by the way, there is also a ...... on this hand"

Wu Yashi didn't wait for Qin Xin to finish speaking, he lowered his eyes and looked at his hands, and his eyes widened: "This ......"

Suddenly, she blinked and said urgently: "Hurry, soon will be in the palace." ”

Why is it so dirty?

Before she came to Ciren Palace to greet the Queen Mother, she had freshened up well, why did she ...... at this time

In addition to Qin Xin waiting on the side, another big palace maid Qin Sheng was also there, and when the two heard this, they hurriedly responded, and helped Wu Yashi to walk quickly in the direction of Chengqian Palace.

"Lord, you ...... You seem to have become more beautiful, no, no, you have become more beautiful than when the master went to Ciren Palace to greet the Queen Mother. ”

As soon as she returned to Chengqian Palace, Wu Yashi first went out of Gong, and then went to bathe, and when she changed her clothes, she sat in front of the dresser and made up, Qin Xin's eyes widened in surprise, and then Gao Xin's words were not smooth.

Qin Sheng was also very happy: "Lord, Qin's experience is right, you are indeed two points more beautiful than before we went to greet the Queen Mother." ”

Wu Yashi sat in front of the dressing mirror, and he saw the changes in himself, and he wanted to become more beautiful, but in fact, his skin was more delicate and fairer than before.

However, as the saying goes, a white covers a hundred ugliness, and now she is obviously fairer than before, which invisibly elevates her already outstanding posture a little.

But why is that?

Wu Yashi twisted her eyebrows and thought, suddenly, a bright light flashed in her mind, and she wanted to catch it, but she didn't catch anything.

When the Laba Festival is snowing, and this snow is three at once, and it is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no tendency to stop.

"Master, this snow is a little unusual!"

Ye Xia sat cross-legged on the warm kang, holding a travelogue in her hand and flipping through it casually, hearing what Mama Li said, she put the travelogue on the kang table, looked out the window at the snow, and murmured: "Unusual? ”

Mama Li answered: "Yes, master, you have also seen it, this year's snow is too big, and it has rained three times in a row, if it continues to fall, I am afraid it will cause a snow disaster." ”

I didn't hear Mama Li, Ye Xia really didn't expect the snow disaster to go up, after all, it is normal for snow to drift in winter, but she is now in ancient times, people's houses are mostly wooden structures and thatched houses with earthen walls, and their solidity is not comparable to modern houses built of reinforced concrete.

If this snow falls for seven or eight consecutive days, or even longer, it will inevitably cause a serious snow disaster.

At that time, the people's houses will collapse, they will have no food, no clothes, no place to live, and they will not have to freeze to death or starve to death?!

"Snow Disaster...... Did your emperor think of the possibility of a snow disaster? ”

Ye Xia's brows tightened more and more. "Our emperor is wise and wise, and he will definitely think of this possibility."

Mama Li was like this, and when she heard this, Ye Xia was noncommittal, but she didn't say anything.

Clinker, two nights later, Emperor Kangxi successively received the disaster report of Shunfu and Guangping Mansion, looking at the emergency report on the hard-hit counties alone as many as 17, the houses collapsed, countless dead and injured, the snow is still falling, it is conceivable, and then I don't know how many people will freeze to death and starve to death.

In the face of the disaster, as the king of a country, Emperor Kangxi convened important ministers overnight to discuss disaster relief matters.

"Your Majesty, as the emergency report said, the snow disaster is very big, the twelve counties under Shunfu are the hardest hit areas, and the five counties under Guangping Mansion are seriously affected, and hundreds of people are displaced. Otherwise, there will be frozen bones on the road, and Yi Zi and food will be seen everywhere in these disaster-stricken counties, and at that time, it will inevitably cause a lot of public resentment! ”

About fifty a year, gray-haired, thin-shaped, middle-high old minister wiped tears and screamed bitterly, after this minister's voice, another minister who was relied on by Emperor Kangxi also looked sad, but the words made the atmosphere in the Qianqing Palace more and more heavy:

"This snowstorm is fierce, and the top priority is to provide immediate relief, but the rebellion of the three feudatories, the Chahar rebellion, and the stupidity of Zhungar have consumed a lot of silver, and now, the treasury is empty, where can I get the silver to come out for disaster relief?"

"Take as much as you want, and then escort the relief food to the affected counties, how many people can be saved first, and you can't wait for the people to starve to death......

The old minister who had spoken before spoke again, but he couldn't go on, and the other ministers all bowed their heads, not knowing what to do more.

They have all read the disaster report, but they also know that the imperial court has an empty treasury because of the rebellion, and in such a situation, there is not enough food for disaster relief, no matter how much it is, it is empty talk, and it cannot solve the predicament of the affected people.

"What do I want you to do?"

After several important ministers finished expressing their views on the disaster one by one, Emperor Kangxi's expression was cold, and the light in his eyes was dark: "The treasury is empty, is the household department eating dry rice?" Repeating the disaster report in front of me one by one, when I am blind? ”

"Houses have collapsed, there have been heavy casualties, people have been displaced, and the roads have frozen bones, so why don't you think of a proper way to quickly respond to the disaster?"

In the court, one is more capable than the other, arguing endlessly over the way to deal with a political matter, and now the disaster is serious, and an effective way is needed to quickly carry out disaster relief, but he answers him with the emptiness of the treasury, is there no difference?

"Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and you can't get enough silver to relieve the disaster, so try to raise it."

The old minister who wiped his tears paused slightly, and continued: "Wechen is willing to donate two hundred taels of silver to the people in the disaster area. ”

For the first grade of the imperial court, the old minister has an annual salary of 180 taels, that is, 15 taels per month, and has been an official so far, known for his honesty, and there is no other income in the house.

But the key is that this old minister is still a benevolent person, and he sometimes sponsors poor students, so what savings can the government have? Well, even if it's a little, the other party will give two hundred taels to the people in the disaster area with one mouth at the moment, I'm afraid that he will tighten his belt and even take out the coffin!

"Good! He is worthy of being my good courtier! ”

Emperor Kangxi was stunned, and then his expression was moved, and he praised the old minister.

At this moment, I can hear that the old minister, who has been honest and honest all his life, offered to donate two hundred taels of silver when the treasury was empty and the people in the disaster area were in urgent need of food assistance.

The other important ministers were not stunned, and at the same time felt hot on their faces.

An old man who is so poor that he only relies on his money to support his family can take 200 taels of silver (coffin book) to help the court for disaster relief, but they only care about playing tricks in front of the emperor with the pestle, and none of them even thought of paying out of their own pockets to help the emperor and help the court tide over the difficulties.

"Your Majesty, Weichen is willing to donate two hundred and fifty taels for disaster relief."

With a full of shame, another official stepped forward after the old minister.

"Good! He is a good courtier of mine. ”

Emperor Kangxi nodded, and without waiting for several other important ministers to speak, he said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow morning, I hope to see the civil and military officials generously donate money and do their part for the people in the disaster area." ”

After a moment's pause, Emperor Kangxi continued: "By the way, I took out 100,000 taels from the private treasury for disaster relief. ”

Among the court officials, there are these important ministers standing in front of him, many of whom have abundant family resources, and he hopes that the courtiers will do their part, but if he has the ability to give more silver for disaster relief, but he just picks the door and refuses to show integrity to help the court for disaster relief, just wait for him!

Emperor Kangxi didn't think that he had the idea of beating the pockets of his courtiers. As the saying goes, when the country is in trouble, the husband is responsible, and the officials are appointed by the court, and now the people are in trouble, the court is in difficulty, and the courtiers are in trouble, shouldn't they stand up enthusiastically, and the monarchs and ministers are single-minded to solve the disaster quickly and effectively?

However, Emperor Kangxi thought beautifully, but the reality slapped him, the emperor, in the face. In the early morning, after listening to the emergency report of the disaster, under the leadership of several important ministers, although they paid out of their pockets for disaster relief, they did not take out ten taels, twenty taels, and the most was three hundred taels, and they could not see or hear a large amount of money.

This is the great court meeting, the officials of the five grades and above in Beijing have participated, the number of people is quite large, and after the dispersal of the court, according to the statistics of the officials of the household department, the total disaster relief silver is less than 20,000 taels. Is Mingzhu without a family background, or Suo Etu has no family background? Or is it that his maternal uncle Tong Guowei, as well as other powerful people in the DPRK and China, have no family background?

"Very good! It's so good! ”

The cold eyes swept over the two data of disaster relief silver counted on the imperial case, and Emperor Kangxi walked around the imperial case with his hands behind his back, walking back and forth in the Qianqing Palace, and no longer held back, letting his anger gush out, and his mouth kept scolding.

Liang Jiugong stood aside with his head down, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, for fear of being angered by his master.

How many officials on the side have a bad family background, but Lord Mingzhu, Lord Suo Etu, and the master's uncle, Lord Tong, have a rich family background, and they all have a close relationship with the emperor.

For example, Mingzhu's sister Darao, who is now a concubine in the emperor's harem, gave birth to two sons to the emperor, why didn't Lord Mingzhu think about supporting the emperor's sister-in-law?

For example, Lord Suoetu, who is the biological father of the late Empress Hesheri and the maternal grandfather of the crown prince, why doesn't he want to vigorously support the emperor's son-in-law?

And Lord Tong is even more excessive, the emperor is his nephew, and at this morning's court meeting, he was so stingy that he donated three hundred taels of disaster relief silver.

Yes, three hundred taels of disaster relief silver is indeed the most among all the officials who participated in the court meeting and donated disaster relief silver, but which of these three Darao ancestors did not follow Emperor Taizong into the pass.

At that time, there were countless amounts of wealth snatched from the hands of the Han people, and now after two generations, the wealth in the hands is only more and not less, but when the court is in need and the emperor is in need, one by one turtle hair to take three hundred taels of silver like sending the emperor to call Huazi, is this looking down on his master, or is he cold-blooded to want to be aggravated by the disaster?

Liang Jiugong sighed and shook his head in his heart, he really couldn't understand why the magnates like Mingzhu were not so cold-blooded? Are they really not worried that the imperial court will not be able to provide disaster relief, which will lead to the disaster getting out of control, causing the affected people to be dissatisfied, and then there will be riots?

Didn't they expect that the three feudatories and Chahar were currently in turmoil, and they didn't expect that Jungar was making a foolish move? When the national disaster is at hand, I don't know how to send charcoal in the snow, but I regard money as more important than anything else, which is really a disappointment to the emperor's trust!
