It was precisely because of the Sui family's actions that Xiao Yanxing rarely went to Sui Nuanzhi's courtyard. I haven't seen the male master in the main courtyard for a long time, and suddenly the male master arrived with a snowstorm, and the palace maids were so excited that they were in a hurry.

Tea is made for tea, and water is delivered for water. But Xiao Yanxing obviously didn't mean to stay overnight, he came to warn Sui Nuanzhi.

How dare Sui Nuanzhi speak, even if she knew the purpose of her grandfather's actions, she didn't dare to tell Xiao Yanxing the truth. It can only be vaguely said that Sui Yuesheng was summoned by the palace and specially entered Beijing to play with His Majesty.

It's just a matter of coaxing others, coaxing Xiao Yanxing is simply delusional. The emperor's temperament, the game?

Don't think that he doesn't know the plans of the Sui family, it's just that he is about to ascend the throne, and Sui Nuanzhi's position is unstable, so he wants to use the emperor to put pressure on him.

Sui Yuesheng was actually forced by Xiao Yanxing to take a risk.

The next generation of the Sui family can't support the glory of the Sui family for a hundred years. He can only rely on this way to renew the life of the Sui family. If Xiao Yan gave the Sui family the decency they deserved and treated Sui Nuanzhi well, he naturally didn't want to tear his face like this. But Xiao Yanxing blindly doted on the side concubine, and angrily scolded the girl of the Sui family with a white face. Obviously, not giving the slightest favor to the girl of the Sui family, this is tantamount to breaking the contract.

How can a queen without grace and no heirs sit firmly? What's the use of the Sui family asking for an empty queen with a name?!

Sui Yuesheng naturally knew that he was so righteous and bright and opened his mouth to ask Xiao Yan for it, and he would not agree. He also knew that he had contributed too little in the process of Xiao Yanxing's ascension to the throne, and if he was rewarded for meritorious deeds, the Sui family was not qualified. In this way, he can only take measures to rely on the old and sell the old, so that Xiao Yanxing will back down. Just like his family got the position of crown princess, pinching Xiao Yanxing's throat at the right time can get what he wants.

Sui Yuesheng wanted to repeat his old tricks, so he came to sell his old face to ask the emperor for kindness, and personally sat on the throne of the queen for his granddaughter.

……

Xiao Yanxing held Sui Nuanzhi accountable for everything, and Sui Nuanzhi pretended to be confused. didn't have a single useful word in his mouth, and it was clear that he wanted to advance and retreat with the family. He wasted no more time, sneered, and turned to leave.

Although Sui Nuanzhi was a little afraid of the prince's attitude at this time, she naturally couldn't drop the chain at this time when she thought that her grandfather would personally go to Beijing to make the decision for her. The girl of the Sui family should put the interests of the family first, and this is the meaning of her marrying.

In fact, after Sui Nuanzhi was reminded by the housewife of the Sui family, she remembered the doubts she had ignored in the past. She then listed these suspicions and wrote a letter to her grandfather. I hope that my grandfather will use the power of the Sui family to investigate deeply.

The result can be imagined, although she couldn't find out the whole picture, she asked Sui Nuanzhi to find out a lot of things that she had been ignoring.

For example, in the relief of the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, Wang Shu, as the head of the family, nearly emptied the granary of the Wang family and relieved several cities. Efforts have been made to set up shelters for orphans, shelters for the elderly, weak women and children, and medical sites, and have continued to deliver medicine and food to the disaster-stricken areas for a year, saving the lives of many people. Another example is the opening of Jiangnan Academy, which has accepted hundreds of children to read and write, teach and educate people.

For example, a few years ago, the war in the Northwest was tense, and the situation was volatile. Many people thought that the Tatars were going to enter the Central Plains. The Wang family spent money, energy, and manpower to support the battlefield, and used the Wang Family Dart Bureau to contain local displaced people and help Xiao Yanxing stabilize the situation in the northwest as soon as possible......

…… One by one, which thing cannot be praised by others. It is also because of this that Sui Nuanzhi realizes how shallow he has always been. Shallow, like a clown jumping off the beam, self-righteous bouncing around in front of Wang Shu. She didn't even dare to think back to how ugly her face was when she was arrogant to provoke Wang Shu. How petty and stupid it is.

As long as he thought of this, Sui Nuanzhi couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, and never come out to meet people again.

While being ashamed, Sui Nuanzhi also realized that he had no chance of winning. In front of Wang Shu's great achievements, how outrageous her Sui family did to seize the position of concubine by taking advantage of the danger of others. It's no wonder that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince hated them so much at the beginning, so hated that he didn't want to give them any dignity.

Because Sui Nuanzhi knows better than anyone else that the position of the crown princess is Wang Shu's. The position she occupies now is shameless.

Xiao Yanxing can't get used to her, and the old people in the East Palace look down on her, the root is here.

All of them followed Xiao Yanxing in life and death, and worked in the northwest for many years. They saw with their own eyes how many shocking things Wang Shu did with Xiao Yanxing. I know more clearly how deep the relationship between the two people is that they support each other in the predicament, and support each other to get to this day. She, Sui Nuanzhi, an outsider, shamelessly persecuted people to bow down to her without knowing the inside story, and tried in vain to rob Wang Shu's child, how disgusting is she......

But what can be done? She did everything, and the water she spilled couldn't be recovered.

In that case, you can only tear your face and grab it to the end.

It is impossible for the Sui family to give up the posterior position, this is what the Sui family has long taken a fancy to, and her Sui Nuanzhi was cultivated by the family as a queen. She was born for her mother's honor in this life. Although I can't live with Wang Shu, although I am a little cheeky, the truth in the world is not all that whoever pays more gets more. Those who are capable live in it, and those who are ambitious have the last laugh. Her Sui family was born to live on top of everyone's heads, and it is impossible to come down in the future, so she can only wronged Wang Shu to continue to be a peaceful side concubine.

She can respect Wang Shu more in the future, but I'm sorry, the back position is her Sui Nuanzhi.

Sui Nuanzhi's heart turned over several times, and he was convinced that what he did was right and that he didn't need to feel guilty. Looking at Wang Shu like this, she is much calmer. If you get something, you have to lose something, and if you don't want it, you can turn a blind eye to everything else.

The emperor did not live for three or four years, and died in this year.

Early in the morning, his face was still red, and he was rarely dressed with high interest, and personally summoned Wang Shu and the three imperial grandsons. Speaking of which, this is the first time the emperor has seen Wang Shu in such a long time, and I have to say that this side made him amazing.

Wang Shu's beauty is completely different from Han Lingsu when she was young. If Han Lingsu is a snow lotus blooming at the top in the cold wind of the northwest, Wang Shu is a pear blossom tree blooming in the mountains. Calm and pure, a kind of nobility and indifference that emanates from the bones. Even if she is a mother of three children, she is still as simple as an unsuspect, and there is no trace of gloom and trickery hidden in her eyes.

The emperor looked at Wang Shu in a trance for a long time, and was stunned for a long time, but then became even more jealous of Xiao Yanxing's good luck. This thief may have saved up the luck of the first half of his life, just to meet this person. If he hadn't gotten that kid to the northwest, he would have struggled in pain for the rest of his life!

"I heard you're working on rice?" The emperor is not ignorant, he actually knows everything.

Wang Shu's heart jumped, and she raised her head: "Yes." ”

"High yields?"

"The yield per mu is 700 to 850 catties."

It was useless for Wang Shu to conceal it, and the emperor asked about it, obviously because he had already checked it.

The emperor was in a trance for a moment.

"With such knowledge, it is shrunk in the harem like this, and it is inevitable to be buried." The emperor hugged the little third, "Do you want to be an official?" ”

“？！”

Wang Shu blinked, unable to believe her ears.

She just wanted to refuse, but the emperor first opened his mouth and vetoed the proposal: "Forget it, look at your appearance, you are not an official." You have been busy all these years, and you have done a lot of good things for Daqing, so I will give you a knighthood. ”

Wang Shu really can't deal with the uncertainties of the emperor, and there is no logic to follow, which is really scary.

"The concubine body does not dare to be, what the concubine does is just what the heart wants, and there is nothing to ......"

"Hmm." Without waiting for Wang Shu to finish speaking, he grabbed the words again, "I will give you the title of duke." Since you like farming, give you the land in Jiangnan. I will give you another 10,000 food, and I will teach my emperor and grandson to grow up in the future. ”

Wang Shu came on this trip, and without saying anything, he was sent back like this.

She originally thought that the emperor was teasing her, after all, he had sent his son to a wild land in the first place, and he had never been so generous. Wang Shu couldn't believe that he could benefit more than his son, but he thought that the old emperor was sick and confused again.

As a result, she returned to the East Palace, and the holy decree and book arrived. Along with the books, there was a box of treasures.

Don't say that Wang Shu is stupid when she sees things. Even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the East Palace were all at a loss when they heard this movement. They had never heard of a woman being knighted. was even more frightened by Wang Shu's reward of 10,000 food towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and he couldn't say anything. Is the emperor crazy? What kind of merits does this concubine have that are worth such a big blood investment?

With the full development of this problem, Wang Shu stood from the back of the person to the front of the person, and slowly got an explanation.

At this time, everyone did not know it, so they said that after the emperor had rewarded them, he died in his sleep that night.

On the night of his death, Xiao Yanxing didn't even have time to return to the East Palace. Don't ask what Wang Shu said to the emperor in Daming Palace. He was so busy that he didn't even have time for dinner. On the night of the emperor's death, the important minister took the jade seal and asked Xiao Yanxing to succeed him.

The next day, Xiao Yanxing inherited the jade seal in front of everyone, and then it was the great funeral of the country.

All of this happened unexpectedly, but it made sense.

The emperor died, and the whole country mourned.

The old emperor didn't have much attachment to his own death, and it didn't seem to make much difference to him whether he was alive or dead. It's not hard to die, and there is even an illusion that you want to die a long time ago. The emperor's imperial mausoleum was also built simply, much more modest than the emperors of previous dynasties. Before he died, he issued an edict, so that all the treasures in the private treasury did not need to be buried together, and everything was simple.

The only requirement is that he should be buried in a coffin with the former queen.

Three days after the emperor's state funeral, Xiao Yanxing ascended the throne as emperor. The enthronement ceremony was not yet over, and in the evening of the same day, the recitals of the enthronement came like snowflakes. Xiao Yanxing was as busy as a spinning top, and he didn't have a good rest for a few days.

As a result, as soon as this sparse piece was opened, it was all after asking Xiao Yanxing to establish the Sui clan.

Xiao Yanxing couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw this impatient recital. This Sui family is really doing everything. Thought that by using the courtiers to persecute him, he would be able to go along with him? It's ridiculous!

Chapter 150

The emperor wanted to be buried with the former empress, but Xiao Yanxing would not agree.

Although Xiao Yanxing does not have a deep memory of his mother who died early, he has always remembered his grandfather's love and uncle's care. My grandfather held his hand before he died, and his earnest teachings were still in his ears. Xiao Yanxing will never allow the emperor to die and disgust the Han family. As Shu'er said, he has to do something to keep his mother from being so sad in this life.

Buried together, sleeping in the same coffin, he will never allow it.

The first thing Xiao Yanxing did when he ascended the throne was to veto the emperor's order to be buried with the former empress.

Regardless of the uproar in the court, the ministers reprimanded Xiao Yanxing for this is a great unfilial piety. Xiao Yanxing was bent on going his own way, and was not moved by the wanton swearing. It is said that only 18 days after the mortuary of the first emperor, he instructed the Ministry of Rites to arrange all matters to be sent to the imperial tomb. This act also attracted a wave of verbal criticism inside and outside the court.

In fact, according to the rules of the Daqing imperial family, the emperor's death is based on merit and respect, and the length of time the body is interrogate. The longest was two years and two months, and the shortest was only 11 days. But the emperor of those eleven days was a famous faint monarch in history. After many generations, the founding ancestor of the country died and stopped for a year. Emperor Taizu, who created the first prosperous era of Daqing, died, and it was suspended for two years and two months. Emperor Shizu is the twenty-fifth day, and the Emperor Shengzu is the twenty-day. Xiao Yanxing let the first emperor be buried in such a hurry, which is really disrespectful.

Although the first emperor did not have great achievements in his life, he also tried his best to keep the peace of Daqing for 30 years.

The big families who have taken out the courage and all means to suppress the monopoly power have done their best to activate the capable people of the poor family. During his reign of 30 years, he opened a precedent for appointing the Han family, broke the situation that the scholars had been monopolized by the nobles for hundreds of years, and officially gave the lower Han families a way to serve the court. Conscientious and conscientious for decades, he maintained the balance of the court and balanced the northern and southern scholars.

Ask yourself, the first emperor has been in power for many years, and he has restrained all forces. The strict law regulated the behavior of the nobles, reduced the accidents of the nobles oppressing the common people, and contributed to the peace of Daqing.

Maybe his ability is limited and he can't do it perfectly, but he won't be humiliated.

Xiao Yanxing did not explain this. A morgue for a few days is not humiliating. The first emperor had already ordered the funeral to be simple, but he just did what he was told.

These pedantic scholars quarreled endlessly over this, as if Xiao Yanxing's move had touched the rules of heaven, and all kinds of verbal and written criticisms. Xiao Yanxing let these courtiers quarrel for half a month, and then insisted on burying them.

Not only that, but he also divided the mausoleum of the first emperor in the imperial tomb into two. The first queen has long been asleep in it. He ordered someone to put another coffin and bury the emperor. It is impossible to bury a coffin together.

The ministers didn't expect Xiao Yanxing to be so strong, and they fought back even more fiercely for a while. As if Xiao Yanxing had dug up their ancestral graves, the ministers were furious. There were even some old pedants who cursed him for unfilial piety. However, Xiao Yanxing has never wavered.

Xiao Yanxing naturally understood their anger and panic. It's so unacceptable, but I smell the iron-blooded breath of Xiao Yanxing. A moderate emperor is what they want. Xiao Yanxing's strong attitude of not following the ancestral system and ignoring etiquette made these scholars smell danger. After all, Xiao Yanxing can disdain the first emperor, and naturally he will not look at them who rely on the ancestral rites to monopolize power.

In the future, does Xiao Yanxing want to liquidate them, and he will also make a move if he wants to?

With this level of concern, these pedantic ministers are so angry.

Xiao Yanxing saw through the root cause of their anger, and he was not confused by the chaos in front of him at all. He was steadfast in his decision. The happier the court Chinese iers tried to jump, and the more aggressive Xiao Yanxing's actions became.

During this period of time, there were those who took the opportunity to shake his prestige, those who forced him to retract his life with death, and those who asked him to do it according to the ancestral etiquette. Xiao Yanxing is all dismissed from his post, and he should be dismissed from his hometown. admonished each other to death, Xiao Yanxing watched him hit the pillar...... These gangs used this to manipulate the emperor and forced the emperor to back down on the charge of forcing the old minister to death, but they did not work against Xiao Yanxing.

I have to say how embarrassed they were when they punched and their moves failed. These wealthy families in the capital who thought that they could balance Xiao Yanxing by occupying the high ground of the ancestors' rituals and laws found that if they continued to make trouble, they would really lose both people and money, and they all died down.

Xiao Yanxing's attitude is even tougher.

In just one month, everyone realized that this was not an emperor who was constrained by others. Xiao Yanxing will not be at the mercy of them, let alone by rules and traditions, Xiao Yanxing even behaves stronger than the old emperor.

Soon, Xiao Yanxing practiced this by himself.

He was efficient and extremely resolute. Xiao Yanxing continued the old emperor's policy in some policies, such as using the Hanmen, such as weakening the power of the family. In some cases, the old emperor's policy of high taxation and fiscal protection was abolished, and a new policy of filling the treasury was introduced. From the moment he ascended the throne, the imperial court officially used a whip law proposed by Qi Jilan and others to re-measure the land and pay the land tax with the share of land in hand. It also accepted a number of recommendations on land administration and the evaluation of officials.

At the beginning of the year, all officials will be inspected and evaluated in various aspects. And write the assessment results on the promotion and transfer materials. In addition to the triennial appraisal of officials' performance and qualifications, the important item of public opinion appraisal has also been added.

The timing of the public opinion assessment will not be communicated to the officials themselves, and will be conducted quietly on any day of the year. The assessment results were not handed down layer by layer, but in fact, they were sent to the capital by the inspectors and directly to Zhongshu Province.

Not to mention the promulgation of this policy, it is like a boulder smashed into a calm and waveless deep pool, and how much splash it makes. How many fish and shrimp hiding under the deep pool were scared. The biggest change is the tax policy and the official launch of the agricultural science genus.

Xiao Yanxing wanted to officially promote the improved varieties on a large scale at the level of the imperial court to benefit all the people of Daqing.

This pile of piles is no less than a thunderbolt from the sky to the vested interests lying on top of the class and the great families from all over the world. They were caught off guard and were very angry. Xiao Yanxing's move is a formal declaration of war against them, a naked challenge and deprivation of their privileges. The families were panicked, and they couldn't help but unite, led by the Sui family, to put pressure on Xiao Yanxing.

This policy, they did not adopt. Join forces against it. Xiao Yanxing didn't care about their attitude, and asked them if they didn't dare to face public scrutiny, did they do nothing in office or did they loot the people's fat and ointment, and didn't believe that the people would give a good evaluation?

They can't answer this question. However, there are many reasons to oppose the implementation of this policy.

They used countless means, both openly and covertly, to warn the young emperor. You shouldn't be so angry before you have started. Even if some people are too ugly to eat, they shouldn't be so ruthless at once.

They thought that by uniting they would make the young emperor back down. But alas, they messed with the wrong people.

Xiao Yanxing was not the first emperor, and he was constrained and coerced by various forces in the past few decades. There are empty anger and ideas, but they have not shaken the fundamental ability of these families. Xiao Yanxing, in the years when he was deeply involved in the people, he had accumulated many capable people. There are people under him, money, power, and even prestige and popular support. The support of the people is the confidence for him to make changes. What's more, he still holds 400,000 garrison troops in the northwest and tens of thousands of brave and good Han family troops, even if he is in Beijing, he is followed by military generals such as Zhenguo Gong.

In other words, if he wants to set foot in the capital, he has the strength to do so.

In addition, Xiao Yanxing is not like the first emperor with an empty pocket. When necessary, they will beg these great families to donate food and money.
