- The emperor saw Wen Wan packing up the folders and said with a smile, "We have sent a batch of good materials as tribute. You go to the Changchun Palace to pick out some of the ones you like."
Although Wen Wan felt it was a waste in her heart.
As soon as Wen Wan entered the Changchun Palace, Concubine De enthusiastically held her hand and led her into the inner palace. "Your Majesty, the Princess is here."
Wen Wan wanted to break away her hand several times, but seeing the kindness in Concubine De's eyes, a sharp light flashed in her eyes. What happened last time might have been the fault of this woman.
Concubine De said lovingly and guiltily, "I have worked really hard on you these past two months. In order to take care of the emperor, you have become so thin that your face is sunken. This is our duty, but it is you who have to suffer because of it." ¡±
Wen Wan shook her head: "The princess said that it is necessary to be filial to the emperor no matter how hard or tiring it is. The princess thinks it is a very happy thing and does not feel tired."
"Come on, this is Miao Yu, the capable maid beside me. If Wen Wan doesn't dislike it, she should be able to share some of your burdens. You won't need to be so tired from taking care of the emperor in the future." Concubine De said gently. .
Wen Wan looked at Miao Yu, who looked honest and courteous, and shook her head: "No, the princess said, thank you for your kindness to her. There are enough maids in Yongning Palace. If you add more, it will be bad." rule."
Concubine De frowned and looked at Wen Wan with a troubled look on her face, "In that case, let's hire a few stewards. There is no steward in your Yongning Palace. How can this be what a royal princess should have?" Example."
Wenwan waved his hand. Xia Yao chuckled next to her and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor also said this, but the princess said that she was impatient to hear the father-in-law's voice. She said that hearing the voice made her uncomfortable. She was so uncomfortable that she couldn't even eat. "
Concubine De was helpless when she saw Wen Wan's non-negotiable expression. Since Wen Wan said she didn't like sharp voices, she couldn't send the two mute father-in-laws there. The emperor knew that he was trying to embarrass others by not scolding her.
After saying a few words, he said gently that he had something to be busy with, so he would take his leave now.
Concubine De looked at Wen Wan's leaving figure, "Tell me, Princess Wen Wan, what are you thinking about? Under such a situation, can you really be calm and calm?"
Rouge, the palace maid next to her, said, "Mother, the princess is very transparent, and she must have other plans in her heart. It is impossible for us to win over the princess."
Concubine De nodded, "Of course I know this. I just want to have more contact with her to see what she is planning."
In Xianfu Palace. Hua Qiong walked in from outside, keeping her voice silent. Concubine Xian put down the chess pieces and said, "Did Wen Wan make any moves?"
Hua Qiong shook her head and said, "No, it's just that the princess went to Changchun Palace today. She stayed there for a while and then returned to Yongning Palace. Everything else is as usual, no changes."
Aunt Guo couldn¡¯t figure it out, ¡°Princess Wenwan, what do you want? Why did it take so long in the palace? There¡¯s no movement!¡±
Wuyou also nodded, "It's really strange to say that. He doesn't make friends with concubines, and he doesn't associate with any married women. Princess Wenwan seems to have no desires or desires."
Concubine Xian chuckled and said, "What's so hard to understand about this? She really wants to tell everyone that she doesn't get involved in anything, she just fulfills her filial piety outside the emperor."
Mother Guo said she didn¡¯t understand, ¡°This is impossible? Who doesn¡¯t know that she is from King Zheng.¡±
Concubine Xian smiled happily, "So what if I know. As long as the emperor believes that she is innocent, kind and benevolent, it is enough. What does it matter what other people think of her? Wen Wan is cautious and trembling in the palace. The world is ruthless and cruel, and they are always trying to catch her. Whenever I get the chance, I will grab your throat and make you unable to breathe.¡±
"Mother Guo said softly, "Mother, are you too critical of the princess?"
Concubine Xian shook her head, "But it's still low."
"Mother Guo said worriedly, "Mother, what should I do?"
Concubine Xian looked at Yongning Palace and said, "Just watch it first. There is always a way to solve it. She is not in a hurry, and we must not be in a hurry."
Xia Yao said beside Wen Wan, "Princess. The governor of Guangzhou has been arrested for corruption and bribery."
Wen Wan glanced at Xia Yao strangely. The corruption and bribery of the governor of Guangzhou had nothing to do with her. Continue to read with your head down.
The emperor opened his eyes happily and announced to the Minister of the Ministry of Finance that he was seeking an audience outside.
"Wen Wan, your shoulders are still a little sore, please give me a squeeze." The emperor looked at Wen Wan and wanted to leave, and said something unexpectedly.
Wenwan made a few strokes. He said that they were going to talk about important things now and it would not be good for him to listen on the side.
"It doesn't matter, it's not a confidential matter. Please lower your shoulders for me." Wen Wan was extremely reluctant after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, good luck" Mr. Cao saluted and stood there. See the houseThere was an extra person in the room, but he lowered his head and pretended not to see him. Anyway, I have long been used to it.
"Tell me, have all those items been put into storage?" The emperor half-squinted his eyes.
"The six boxes of gold and silver jewelry are estimated to be about 300,000 taels, and the gold is 100,000 taels. They have all been registered. The brochure has been listed in detail, please see the emperor." Cao Song held a brochure above his head, and Eunuch Wen stepped forward to pick it up. Come over and hand it to the emperor.
The emperor took the folder, scanned it briefly, and placed it on the small couch. He tapped his fingers on the table. Opening his eyes again, a fierce look flashed through his eyes, "It is decreed that all adult men will be executed on the spot, and all others will be sent to the border. Those who have connections will be dealt with in the same way."
Wen Wan¡¯s hand trembled and she killed them all. In one sentence, hundreds of people fell to the ground.
"You need to practice your courage. It's been so long and you still haven't made any progress." The emperor said casually, with a hint of hatred that iron cannot become steel. How does this girl need to hone herself so that she can face the collapse of Mount Tai without changing her expression?
Wen Wan calmed down her expression. She still needs to practice what she means. Could it be that when she hears a dead person, she pretends not to have heard it. That's not insensitivity.
A strange look flashed in Cao Yin's eyes. A princess needs to experience these things. The emperor's attitude towards Wen Wan and his master surprised him. But there was no place for him to doubt the emperor's words. With full of doubts, I went out.
On this day, six ministers arrived in Yanghe Hall. Wen Wan saw the emperor but didn't say anything. In this situation, it was a serious matter to act honestly.
"Winter is approaching now, and the soldiers at the border are in urgent need of cold protection materials. This money must first satisfy our Ministry of War." The newly appointed Minister of War shouted at the top of his voice.
Mr. Cao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, knew as soon as the money was put into the treasury that there would be another quarrel. Then he said in a good-natured manner, "The money is not enough."
"What's so important to you, the Ministry of War? Didn't the last sum of money already come to you? Your Majesty, this time we must give it to our Ministry of Works first. Those water conservancy projects must be rebuilt. It's been so long. "We can't delay any longer. Otherwise, if there is a flood in the Yellow River, millions of farmers will be willing to pay for it. In addition, it will also cost a lot of money to promote potatoes and sweet potatoes on a large scale." Also shouting loudly.
The Minister of War continued to shout at the top of his lungs: "The bandits, the soldiers at the front are fighting hard day and night. Now it's winter again. Cotton coats and other military supplies cannot be delayed. Otherwise, it will easily arouse the dissatisfaction of the soldiers and cause a crisis for the court!"
"There is not enough money" Cao Shangshu said this with a good temper. Anyway, you are arguing about it, there is only so much money. It's impossible to satisfy everyone. From the beginning to the end, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance said this. No matter who of you asked him for money, he would always say that it was not enough. No matter how many changes you make, he will solve it in one sentence.
The Jinluan Palace is as noisy as a vegetable market.
Wen Wan also knew before that the imperial court had no money. But I didn't know it would be so difficult. Wenwan looked at the emperor. Thinking that the emperor's grandfather was so diligent, but the country still had so many problems. I heard that it was dozens of times more difficult than this before. Wen Wan admired the emperor's grandfather very much. If it had been her, she would have run away long ago. Don't do such hard and painful work.
The emperor put down the memorial. He looked up at Wen Wan, who was listening to everyone's noise with one ear bent, and asked casually, "Wen Wan, do you think it is more important to meet the military supplies for the soldiers first, or to build dams and relieve the people who have no food?"
Wen Wan shivered and almost fell off the couch. Busy stood up from the couch, ready to put on his shoes and kneel on the ground. The emperor grabbed her back with one hand. "It's just a random question. If you want to know, just tell me. It's not a big deal. Just treat it as a normal chat with grandpa."
Wen Wan was so frightened that her legs didn't soften after hearing this. She didn't talk about political affairs on weekdays. What kind of plan does the emperor¡¯s grandfather have?
Not to mention Wen Wan was very frightened. Even the ministers were stunned by the emperor's strange behavior. The emperor means this. What means. Could it be that the emperor vented his dissatisfaction with them.
The emperor looked at Wen Wan staying where he was and said with a smile, "Grandpa is just asking what you mean. You are so good at business. Just treat them as business. How will you deal with them."
It took Wen Wan a long time to write nervously, "Military pay is the key and cannot be reduced. Soldiers protect our home and country, and protect us from our bloodshed and tears at the front. Our safety depends on them, and we cannot lose to anyone. We must also raise the dam." Xiu, those victims must also be dealt with properly.¡±
The emperor couldn't help laughing and said, "You have written so much, but it means you haven't written anything. Think of a way for grandpa to save money and get everything done at the same time. I didn't think of it. Grandpa is waiting for you. Until you figure it out.¡±
Wen Wan thought for a long time, "Those who need help,? Organize those who are capable of working and let them build dikes. It can not only provide them with three meals a day, but also give them wages and money every month to support their family. You should be able to save some money. "
The Minister of Hubu opened his mouth, this method really saves money. Just as he was about to speak, he was stopped by the emperor's sharp look. Wen Wan's method is very clever.
The emperor smiled and said, "Well, that's a very good idea. What about military pay? There are 200,000 troops at the border and nearly 100,000 troops along the coast. The court cannot provide them with the annual military pay. Do you have any good ways to reduce military expenditures? Now the national treasury There is no way to pay for such a huge military expenditure. What good idea can Wen Wan have?"
Wen Wan naturally knows that there is another way to apply the modern compulsory soldier system. However, how could Wenwan say it out loud. The idea just now was based on the idea of ??economical doing business, so it is understandable. Moreover, the dam construction and the rescue work are in two different places, so they cannot be implemented at all. But the military power involved now is something that should not be touched. Regardless of which dynasty, military power is definitely what everyone wants. It is also the most untouchable. Wen Wan shook her head very simply to express that she didn't know.
The emperor began to look at Wen Wan, her eyes rolling in her bones, and naturally knew that she had already had an idea. At the beginning, the person who provided disaster relief was good, but later he became careless and said, "Just say it when you think of it. This is not a big deal. Just say it."
Wen Wan drove the ducks to the shelves. "As for military pay. Well, I saw in the travel notes that the Japanese pirates and the Manchus always come to rob us of our food and money. Otherwise, let our soldiers also rob them and get them back when the time comes. I don¡¯t know if this will solve a lot of problems. Wen Wan, this is a typical bandit logic.
The Minister of Rites understood the meaning of Wen Wan. Shocked, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. We, Da Qi, are a kingdom of heaven and a state of etiquette. How could we do such a despicable thing?"
Wen Wan glanced at Mr. Song, the Minister of Rites, with great contempt. Xia Yao suppressed a smile and said, "Mr. Song, the princess said, since you are so righteous, then you can think about how to solve the hundreds of thousands of military salaries! It will also save the emperor from embarrassment. The princess said that she had read a travel note, which is There is a story that has no ending. The ending depends on everyone¡¯s imagination. I don¡¯t know if the emperor and other adults are interested in hearing this story.¡±
The emperor said with a smile, "Say it gently, let grandpa listen."
Wen Wan smiled and told the story, "A robber and a group of men went to rob a large family in the middle of the night. This large family came from a scholarly family, and they were all defenseless people. I met this group of robbers. No surprise. , the family must have been destroyed. It was also God¡¯s blessing that the second son of the head of the family happened to like martial arts, but the family did not allow him to do so, so he secretly left home to learn martial arts. He was weak and couldn't save so many people. But this man was not afraid of death. He said to the bandit leader, "I can't defeat you, but I can definitely escape. If you just want money, I can give you money." . But if you want to rush into the yard and touch my family, I will definitely kill you with my brothers."
The emperor smiled cheerfully and said, "What happened next?"
Xia Yao looked at Wen Wan with suspicion. "Later. Later, the robber took the money and left. The son of the family owner asked his family to go to a relative's house to hide from trouble that night. He was going to find him. His fellow disciples want to destroy this gang of bandits, and his father said that if they are not wiped out, it will be a disaster for the entire clan. "
The son said, "These people want money rather than their lives. Now they have taken the money and let it go, but our family has become his lamb to be slaughtered. If we don't take advantage of it now, there will be endless troubles later." "
Having said this, I stopped. Xia Yao chuckled and said, "As for what happens, it's not in the book. How to act depends on personal choice."
The several ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but they all fell silent. The princess didn't seem to say anything, but she seemed to have said everything.
There was silence in Yanghe Hall. Wen Wan curled her lips and told the emperor that she had to go back to cook. Otherwise, dinner will be served late.
The emperor nodded and said, "Go!"
Wen Wan flew out like a fly. The emperor looked at Wen Wan's back. Just now Wen Wan was talking about the excessive military expenditure. The court did not have that much money, and her hands were obviously stagnant. The emperor was sure that the child actually had a good idea in mind, but he didn't say it. I just said this is a solution that is easier said than done.
"It's not shameful. You should first write me a detailed list of everything you need, and then decide where to focus first." The emperor said coldly, and several important ministers present blushed and went out immediately. .
The next day, the imperial censor impeached him. He was scolded by the emperor. He just casually asked Wen Wan a way to save money and what kind of politics he participated in. The emperor directly asked the censor to hold the child.
The emperor¡¯s attitude is very obvious. I should keep my mouth shut about this matter. You have no business interrupting. The people below are all fools. The emperor's attitude is so tough, who dares to get into trouble.
Wen Wan was holding a piece of Gu porridge. Before she entered the Yanghe Palace, she heard the emperor losing his temper inside. The emperor has been particularly grumpy recently, getting angry at every turn and scolding anyone he catches. Wen Wan guessed that it was because of the change of seasons.
King Zheng stood respectfully in front of the emperor, allowing the emperor to scold the people loudly. Wen Wan seemed not to have seen King Zheng being scolded. He walked past King Zheng with a smile, came to the emperor, and took out the porridge from the tray. The porridge is warm and you can drink it as soon as you bring it in. A few strokes of gentle strokes mean to drink porridge first and then deal with government affairs after finishing the porridge.
Wenwan makes mung bean and lily porridge, which has the effect of eliminating fire, removing heat and cooling down. After the emperor finished drinking, Wen Wan didn't stay long and went out with the tray. He just blinked at King Zheng when he went out.
The emperor¡¯s interruption because of his gentleness was not as explosive as before.
When the emperor's temper is bad, the courtiers will be in trouble. When the emperor was dissatisfied, he would scold others. Wenwan can be heard after a day or two.
On this day, Wen Wan went in with mung bean porridge. Then he saw the emperor reprimanding King Zhao until he became disgraced. Wen Wan also went in with a smile, put down the mung bean porridge and let the emperor drink it.
Wen Wan now implements the dietary policy of multiple meals for the emperor. Three main meals are indispensable. There are different kinds of barley porridge in the morning, lunch and evening. In addition, the other solid dishes are mainly porridge, which the imperial doctor said is very suitable for maintaining health. Wenwan has always continued this method.
Wen Wan waited for the emperor to finish, then went out with the porridge. The emperor's anger has indeed diminished a lot.
A ruthless look flashed in King Zhao's eyes, this damn girl is truly blessed. The emperor swept away at will, and King Zhao was annoyed. The moment he fell in love with that girl, he lost control of his emotions.
"Princess, the prince is here." Xia Ying said with a smile.
Wenwan knew from the look on his expression that Uncle Zheng was here. Went out to greet. It has been almost three months since Wen Wan entered the palace, and this is the first time that Prince Zheng has visited Yongning Palace. Looking at the magnificent palace and the calm gentleness, I was very pleased.
When I got to the study, I took out the chess pieces, and Xia Yao was waiting on me. The two played a game of chess. King Zheng asked Wen Wan to take care of her body and left the palace.
After that, when King Zheng had free time, his uncle and nephew also played a game of chess, but they never talked about political affairs. Not a word was spoken.
