The Empress Wants To Be Deposed! - Chapter 40

Li Chengxuan naturally approved both of Song Jinning’s suggestions.

The Queen Mother was not only accurate, but also very happy.

As soon as these two suggestions were posted, she could create momentum for Song Jinning again. At that time, the harem front dynasty, and even the people all over the world will praise Song Jinning as a generation of virtuous queen.

Naturally, there will be dissatisfaction. Take, for example, Princess Wei.

After hearing Songzhi’s report, she snorted in disdain.

“She used to treat her maidservant privately several times when she was a child. Now she is kind and forbidden to torture her servant in private? I’m afraid it’s not just to be seen by outsiders, so that people can say that she is a virtuous and virtuous person. Queen?”

Matsue clearly agrees very much with what she said. Not only echoed with a bunch of voices, then he said: “The slave and maid felt that the Queen’s brain couldn’t think of these two ideas. It must be the Queen Mother, but the Queen said to the outside world.”

“The purpose of the Queen Mother is nothing more than to make people praise the queen, but also to make people feel that she has a good eye, and she chose such a good queen for the emperor. In this way, their Song family’s honor will continue for a long time. Go down.”

“I knew it!”

Taifei Wei looked very angry, “I think that when the first emperor was there, it was the daughter of my Wei family who liked to marry the emperor, but the one from Shoukang Palace kept pushing back and forth. After a while, this child was still young and he was not yet married. At that time, the master said again, this child shouldn’t marry early, wait until he is older. But after the first emperor died, she immediately decided her natal nephew daughter as the queen. Do you think she did it on purpose?”

In fact, no wonder the Queen Mother Song is serious about this.

When Li Chengxuan was still the third prince, the first emperor did not specify which prince was to be the prince. Although Taifei Wei had wanted to marry her niece to a prince, she actually didn’t look down on Li Chengxuan at all.

After Li Chengxuan ascended the throne as emperor, Wei Taifei naturally regretted it. Want to marry his natal niece to Li Chengxuan again, can the Queen Mother Song be willing?

Whose family has no niece yet? The queen’s throne, why should I bargain your niece?

But now every time she thinks about it, Wei Taifei only thinks that this is the empress dowager Song’s uneasy good intentions, deliberately grabbing the throne of the queen who was supposed to be her niece. The Wei family are victims, but they have never reflected on their own problems.

As the maidservant that Princess Wei brought into the palace from her natal house, Song Zhi must be the same as Princess Wei.

He helped Princess Wei condemn the Queen Mother Song together.

After condemning the Queen Mother Song, the two continued to arrange Song Jinning.

After the end, Princess Wei made a conclusion: “She really is holding a chicken feather as an arrow. After sitting in the queen’s seat for a few months, I have to change this or that? I have to listen to her if I agree? Don’t ignore her. .”

Then he asked Song Zhi: “Why don’t I see my daughter-in-law enter the palace these days? Is this lazy and doesn’t want to run away, or is my mother-in-law not in your eyes?”

Song Zhi’s news was still well received, and immediately whispered what happened in Shoukang Palace that day.

“…After the princess said those things that day, the emperor seemed very upset. He turned around and said to the queen. Later, if the princess wanted to enter the palace again, he had to go to the palace and pass the sign. The queen gave her permission. You can come in. The emperor even said that if the princess doesn’t have a proper reason to enter the palace, he will let the queen directly dismiss it.”

If this is a mother-in-law who can handle it clearly, you should understand that Jiang Wanqiu did the wrong thing after hearing this. I have to ask someone to reprimand Jiang Wanqiu: The harem is still not allowed to do politics, how can you say these things in front of the emperor, a maid? Remember not to repeat such things from now on.

But if Wei Taifei was a person who could handle it clearly, she wouldn’t have gotten where she is now.

“What is so unhappy about the emperor?”

Taifei Wei raised her hand angrily and patted the kang table heavily. The blue peony-patterned bowl with white background and blue ground on the table trembled upwards, and the bowl lid knocked against the bowl wall with a clanging noise.

“He is the son of Emperor Xian, and my son is also the son of Emperor Xian. These thousands of miles belong to the Li family. How come they have two mothers and children, oh, there is still a queen who can express her own opinions on the political affairs of the old Li family. Why is my daughter-in-law not working? Who are they looking down on?”

“Even if it is said that the harem is not allowed to do political affairs, the one in Shoukang Palace directly controlled the government a few years ago. Why didn’t you say that the harem was not allowed to do political affairs?

“Is there anything else I need to hand over the sign when I enter the palace, and I will dismiss it without a proper reason. If I am not allowed to enter the palace, it is not a proper reason to enter the palace together and give me sickness?”

Wei Taifei became more and more angry, so she called Song Zhi: “Go, now you can ask someone to go to the Fuwang Mansion, and say that I have a headache. Let her come to the palace tomorrow to treat me. I want to see it. See who dares to stop!”

Pine branch was embarrassed.

“But toffee, you know, the servant can’t go out of the palace casually, you have to have a badge.”

So, doesn’t it still have to be agreed by the queen?

Taifei Wei was so angry, her face turned into a purple pig’s liver color.

When the first emperor was still there, she was so noble and prestigious, what Song Xian, the third prince, she didn’t put it in the corner of her eye at all, but she didn’t expect to look at them now.

If her son had inherited the throne, where would she have fallen to where she is now?

No, it seems that if there is a chance, she still has to let her son fight for the throne.

Midsummer has passed, and the golden wind is coming.

As the birthday banquet of the Queen Mother of Song is approaching, the harem has become increasingly busy. As a queen, Song Jinning must be busy with it.

Fortunately, the treasury has become more abundant nowadays, and there is no need to rest on the money that should be spent. If not, it would be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it would be difficult for the Queen Song Jinning to tell her.

Speaking of this, even Song Jinning had to praise Li Chengxuan as a talent for making money.

That night, she put forward some of her ideas and discussed with Li Chengxuan. A few days later, Song Jinning heard that Li Chengxuan went to the imperial mausoleum to pay homage to the first emperor in response to the opposition of many ministers, and made his decision to open a port for trade. Explained before the first emperor’s mausoleum.

After that, the output of silk and porcelain was expanded for overseas trade. Places rich in tea are also ordered to increase the cultivation of tea trees.

The state policy of merchants not to wear silk was soon annulled by Lee Chengxuan.

Hearing that this decree was reached at once, many businessmen cheered. It even broke the news that silk and satin shops in some places sold out all their inventory in one day.

Moreover, Li Chengxuan also deeply understood what Song Jinning said, that money is left there and it is a piece of paper, a piece of lumps, and only when it is moved can you make money. The Royal Garden is open to the outside world.

Regardless of subjects, as long as they pay a couple of silvers, they can enter the game.

They also sent people to change several pavilions in the garden into restaurants and tea shops, and transferred several imperial cooks from the imperial dining room to make imperial meals for people to eat. All natural income will be deposited into the national treasury.

Although the entrance fee for a tael of silver is not cheap, and the price of wine, cakes and dishes is even higher, you must know that this is a royal garden. In the past, only the emperor and other royal members could enter, and no one else would have the opportunity to see the scenery inside.

Moreover, regardless of the taste of the meal, it is only available to the emperor and the ladies in the palace! Even the ministers may not be able to taste it. It is very rare for ordinary people to see it, let alone eat it!

So for a while, the people of the capital rushed to go to the royal garden first.

Naturally, there is no shortage of wealthy businessmen among these people.

In the past, it was said that it was a scholar, farmer, industry, and commerce, and the social status of businessmen was ranked at the bottom. But now, the emperor has made a decree that they can wear silk satin, and descendants can also participate in the imperial examination.

Now that the royal gardens are all open, there is also an imperial meal, they are not allowed to come and take a look.

What is the admission fee of one or two pennies? dig!

What is a high-priced imperial meal? eat!

Not only do you eat alone, you have to call your family, call friends, and eat together.

And I ate it today, and come back in two days.

Since this imperial garden can be entered as long as one or two dollars of entrance fee is paid, it’s okay to treat this as our own back garden. It’s not that we can’t afford the money.

And in the future, if you invite people to dinner, you have to come here, so you can save face.

As for the people of average family background, even if they can’t eat the royal meal, they can sit in there and drink a cup of tea. Maybe the emperor drank this kind of tea.

There are also wealthy businessmen and people from other places who are still wealthy. When they heard that the royal garden was opened, they all rushed into the capital to watch.

In this case, no food, no lodging, and no chance to buy some special products from the capital to take back to relatives and friends?

As a result, the entire capital quickly became alive, and the taxes and fees paid by merchants increased more than before.

The counties below are not fools. When I saw your Majesty did it personally, the effect was pretty good, and they were encouraged to try to learn from each other.

Numerous places of interest emerged all of a sudden, and even some places Jiang Gongyuan were opened to the public.

Because this Gongyuan is only used once in a few years, it is usually idle. It would be better to open up and earn some money.

Such a change is naturally opposed by ministers.

There are in Beijing, and there are in other places, and they flew to Li Chengxuan’s case one by one like snowflakes.

About Mo is the reason that pressure makes people grow faster. The current Lee Seung-hsun can be said to be different from the previous period, and he can see the strength and calmness of an emperor in his gestures.

He ordered all the opposing ministers in Beijing to gather on the large square in front of the Taiji Hall, and then called the Hubu Shangshu to come over, and the income after the opening of the royal garden and the taxes and fees paid by the merchants in Beijing were informed one by one. This group of ministers.

In addition, the recent income reported by the prefectures and counties was also informed one by one.

Finally, Li Chengxuan began to speak righteously.

“Every one of you told me about majesty, face, and that the royal family and government should be superior. How can ordinary people go in and out of sacred places such as royal gardens and courts? But I ask you, the emperor Yonghe from the previous dynasty wanted Majesty, face-to-face, never treat ordinary people as human beings, bit by bit pariah, what happens in the end?”

“The untouchables in his mouth rose up and threw him back down the tower into a meatloaf alive.”

“That’s how I have come. But you didn’t think about the lessons of the past, and you even told me such things as subjugating the country! I ask you, what do you intend to do?”

The buckle of this hat is a bit too big. Which one can be worn by a courtier? They knelt down one after another and said that Weichen didn’t dare.

“Hmph, I think you dare!”

Li Chengxuan threw a melodrama that he had originally held on the Danxie in front of him, with an aura. The ministers who were kneeling underneath would be even lower.

“One by one, you will only talk to me about majesty and face. Why, after reading two books, I feel that you are noble, you are a master, and you can’t look down on the people? Then I ask you, your daily case Where does the food come from? Where do the clothes you wear every day come from? It comes from the hands of the people you don’t look up to.”

“It’s your salary, which also comes from the taxes paid by hundreds of millions of people. The so-called food and clothing parents, the people who support you, can be called your parents? But you look down on your parents! I ask you. , What is this called?”

No one dared to speak up.

Li Chengxuan glanced at them with majesty, and then made a final conclusion about the nature of the matter in a deep voice.

“No one speaks? Okay, then I will tell you. This is called unfilial piety and unkindness!”

All the officials were silent.

The buckle of this hat is getting bigger and bigger.

However, there is no other way, but he can only prosper his head to the ground, saying that Weichen dare not.

As for admonishment, I don’t dare to say it anymore.

Li Chengxuan also knows the truth of accepting as soon as he sees it. Seeing that his words overwhelmed everyone, he didn’t continue.

“You go back and write me a letter of repentance. Each of you will be fined another three months’ salary, in order to behave like you!”

“All the officials from other places who have written criticisms on this matter are like this. Jiang Qing (Left), you are immediately conveying my will.”

After speaking, Li Chengxuan turned around and walked away.

He who regrets the book will definitely not read it. Every day’s memorial and commentary are so annoying to read, so many repentance books, he has to see the year of the monkey go.

However, by punishing so many officials for three months of salary at once, the court was able to save a lot of money this time.

Li Chengxuan smiled proudly when he thought of the white money. It seems that even the footsteps are a lot lighter.
