Chapter 10: The Empress's Biography of Zhao Gao
Several ministers were surprised.
Huang Liji saw that these people hadn't rounded the bend yet, and he also had a headache on the spot.
"How many taels of silver did it cost to build the gun-making workshop of your Ministry of Industry?"
Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, secretly calculated in his heart.
"Three or four million taels, that's absolutely indispensable."
After saying this, the minds of the surrounding ministers finally bypassed.
They had already figured out the key to this, and their faces were full of joy.
Huang Liji immediately nodded and patted the shoulder of the Ministry of Works.
"That's it, if your majesty wants to build a gun-making workshop, then you have to pay these three or four million taels."
"But as far as the old man knows, His Majesty's internal money is now only more than 400,000 taels of silver."
"So don't worry, after a while, Your Majesty has had enough, at most there will be a few craftsmen left, and the rest should be sent back to you."
The ministers looked at the back of Huang Liji's departure, and only felt that the mountains were high and high, and they admired it abnormally.
And voila!
No wonder someone else can be the first assistant!
I'm afraid that he agreed with Zhu Youxiao's words at that time, and he had already calculated these things clearly in his heart.
After the affairs of the court were dealt with, Zhu Youxiao returned to the Qianqing Palace.
But when he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he saw two people kneeling at the door of the Qianqing Palace.
One is the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian, and the other is Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo.
There is also a standing queen Zhang Yan.
Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen and nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian came back and hurriedly pleaded guilty.
"Your Majesty spares your life!"
"Your Majesty, the slave knows that she is wrong!"
As they spoke, they even wanted to come up and hug Zhu Youxiao's thigh pants.
It's better to find an experienced Zhu Youxiao, and where can they come from Hu.
In order to prevent the two men's snot bubbles from rubbing against his trousers again.
Zhu Youxiao kicked one foot and kicked the two wastes away on the spot.
Zhu Youxiao saw the worried expression on the queen's face, and his heart was also warm.
"Come in, Queen."
As for the other two, Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at them.
The two people kneeling also knew that they had done something stupid, and knelt quietly, not daring to make a sound.
Then Zhu Youxiao and Empress Zhang Yan entered the Qianqing Palace.
Nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian narrowed his eyes, and his eyes revealed a fine light.
He clearly felt that the emperor was still the same person, but the emperor had changed.
He was no longer close to him.
But he felt that it didn't matter, he still had a hole card that Zhu Youxiao couldn't refuse anyway.
He stretched out his hand and beckoned the little eunuch next to him.
"Go and invite Madame Bongsheng here."
Wei Zhongxian sneered in his heart, no matter how much this emperor escapes, he will not be obedient when the Ke clan comes.
He wanted to see how this Zhu Youxiao could escape from the palm of his hand.
Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen gave Wei Zhongxian a thumbs up on the spot, there is still a way for this guy.
"Nine thousand years old, Mrs. Fengsheng is here, let her say a few good words for the lower officials!"
Wei Zhongxian reprimanded Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, on the spot, but it seemed that the other party still had the Jingying in his hands.
This time the incident has proved that only when you have the power of the army in your hands can you really have the right to speak.
"Chengguo is serious, our family has always wanted to be good with Chengguo Bus, but there has been no chance in the past."
"If there is a chance in the future, the two of us will have to get closer to each other."
Chengguo Gong Zhu Chunchen also chuckled twice, with a friendly smile on his face.
From the current point of view, it is impossible to support the ascension of King Shin.
In this way, this Wei Zhongxian has returned to a high position of power, and he hugged his thigh, no matter what, there is nothing wrong.
"Your Majesty, the concubine is guilty, please punish Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao was a little puzzled.
"What is the queen's crime?"
"Your Majesty is unwell, and the concubines think that Your Majesty has done a great job, and they actually support the succession of King Xin, and they are really suspected of rebellion, so please punish Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao shook his head, looked at the beautiful queen in front of him, and also stepped forward to take her hand and help him up.
"Needless to say, I had indeed ascended to heaven at that time, but I had to be protected by Emperor Taizu to return to the world."
"The queen doesn't know about this, so what's the crime?"
When the queen heard the end, a smile appeared on her face, and she had an expression that the stone in her heart had fallen to the ground.
"Concubine, thank you for your grace."
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
"The queen has worked hard during this time."
"Pay more attention to your body on weekdays, don't work too hard, I'm all right."
According to historical records, in the third year of the Apocalypse (1623 AD), Empress Zhang was pregnant and suddenly had low back pain, and wanted to find a palace maid who could massage to massage.
At that time, the Hakka family was afraid that the queen would give birth to a prince, so they came up with an idea.
Let Wei Zhongxian arrange for his own people to pretend to be and deliberately beat him with heavy hands when he twisted his waist for the queen.
This caused Empress Zhang to give birth to a stillborn child, namely Zhu Ciran, the prince of Huaichong.
Empress Zhang has not had children since then.
When Zhu Youxiao thought of this, he also hated it.
The Ke clan couldn't stay.
Otherwise, he would not have had a shrine in his life.
It's not time to kill her, and even if she is allowed to die, she must be allowed to die worthwhile.
However, since that time, Queen Zhang Yan's health has not been good, so Zhu Youzhen has such a saying.
Queen Zhang Yan was naturally very happy when she heard Zhu Youxiao's concern.
"The concubine's body is fine, and His Majesty cares."
But Queen Zhang Yan came here today, not just for herself.
Of course, she knew that it was Zhu Youzhen who personally agreed and ordered the throne to be passed to King Xin, so she couldn't blame her.
"It's just that the concubine has a matter, and I feel very puzzled, I wonder if Your Majesty can solve the confusion for the concubine?"
Zhu Youxiao wanted to hear this, and narrowed his eyes, showing a little dissatisfaction in his eyes.
He knew the character of the queen Zhang Yan, and he had even guessed in his heart what the queen was going to say.
If it weren't for the other party being Zhang Yan, he would have already reprimanded him.
"Say it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The concubine can't be guilty of promoting the king of letters, but that scholar Zhang Ruitu is also a public heart, why did he end up with a full house of beheadings?"
"And King Xin also mistakenly thinks that His Majesty has done a great job, so he has presumptuous words, is Your Majesty too harsh on King Xin?"
When Zhu Youxiao heard the end, he originally wanted to reprimand Zhang Yan, but the words reached his throat and finally took it back.
He thought about it for a while, and just now said: "The queen often advises me, expecting me to be "far from a villain and close to a virtuous". ”
"I believe that from the queen's side, Wei Zhongxian is like Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, a sinister eunuch."
"I remember one time, I saw a book on the queen's desk, so I asked the queen what kind of book it was."
"The queen told me that it was a copy of "The Biography of Zhao Gao".
When Queen Zhang Yan heard this, her face changed greatly on the spot.
