Chapter 1427 The Foolish Empress 50
In this way, Xining's days in the palace were busy.
Every morning after morning, I would take a short nap, and then go to review my notes after lunch. Sometimes, for important matters, we have to call the Sangong, Jiuqing, civil and military officials to come over for questioning and discussion. You can't rest until you turn on the lamp.
After dinner, it was time to go to bed. Xi Ning didn't want her body to die of overwork after she left. Develop a biological clock first, and then you will feel sleepy.
As a result, there is almost no time to see those husbands and wives. I can only take the time to invite a few people to eat together during lunch and dinner.
The queen was very helpful in this regard, arranging meals and rotating the eleven concubines so that three of them would accompany her at each meal.
You must know that this arrangement is also a matter of education. You must think carefully about which ones have a good relationship, which ones are estranged, and which ones are incompatible with each other. Otherwise, if you put those who are not on good terms together, it will cause a lot of trouble and the empress will eat up. Not happy with the meal.
Xi Ning also gave a reasonable explanation for the fact that the empress did not call anyone to accompany her to bed.
The empress wanted to have a child, but she had been poisoned before and was busy with state affairs, so she took this time to recuperate. Giving birth to an heir is a big deal, a big deal that cannot be summoned easily if one is not completely sure of it.
Not to mention the Queen, even the Three Gongs and Nine Qings also agreed with this. After all, Chen Chao was determined to grow up but not to the young. If the quality of the first child born was not as good as the subsequent ones, that would have to be recognized.
The empress did what she said, and never summoned anyone to stay overnight. Compared to the days when she had fun day and night, and hung out with pretty boys, it was already a day and a night.
Even people from the court to the common people were secretly guessing whether the empress's first child was born to the empress and whether it was a boy or a girl. If it weren't for the indomitable power of the king, it would be impossible to set up a bet, otherwise the bet would be hot.
The queen and her concubines also have many things to do in their daily lives. They played piano, chess, writing and painting. The empress also invited the commander of the imperial army to teach them martial arts every three days.
For this reason, the minister also submitted a memorial to express his disapproval. The reason is that if the people around the empress know martial arts, if they have different intentions, they will be able to cooperate inside and outside, then it will be okay.
Xining rolled his eyes: "They are all adults. What great achievements can they make if they learn martial arts as adults? I didn't expect Aiqing to be so concerned about my housework. Is it possible that I specifically choose the weak and weak crown prince?"
It was said that the minister could only kneel down and plead guilty, but how could he be punished for such a trivial matter.
From now on, no one will mention the matter about the concubines in the palace, and they will give it up.
At the beginning, they mainly stood on horseback, which made the delicate concubines complain endlessly.
Xining asked the chief manager to talk to Wei Heng because she said it once, but Wei Heng lowered his head, blushed and agreed to everything, but actually didn't listen to anything and didn't know what he was thinking.
The chief manager laughed from the bottom of his heart, and couldn't close his mouth: "I tell you, chief commander, teach them how to shoot arrows, and just play with the swords that haven't been sharpened a few times. Those are noble people, and you are a soldier." Teach.”
Only then did Wei Heng realize it and began to teach those "noble people" how to ride horses and archery. As for practicing the sword... Watching the alluring Concubine Jun dancing with her sword, he lost his footing and fell to the ground with a flick of his tail. Suddenly, he had an idea. He put his hand on his cheek and pointed at the orchid, creating the posture of a drunken imperial concubine.
Wei Heng covered his forehead. Does the Empress like this kind of stuff? She is simply more charming and charming than the concubine at home.
When I got home, I looked at my face carefully in the mirror. After looking at my face from front to back and left to right, I sighed.
No wonder the empress looked down upon herself. No chance, just work hard and stop wishing.
During the autumn harvest, taxes were reduced or exempted, but taxes were increased instead.
Farmers all want to harvest more grain, and whatever they can get is theirs. After hard work in farming and investigating corrupt officials, the grain harvested filled the granary. The grain harvested from the business side was piled with silver. If copper coins were used, the warehouse could not fit at all.
Some prisoners were pardoned, and the ministers who followed King Duan were allowed to come back.
The five hundred people brought by King Duan did go to cultivate the land, and 30% of the grain they brought was paid as tribute. These officials, together with their family members, happened to be traveling with the food transport vehicles.
They didn't expect to return to the capital so early. I had mixed feelings for a while and thanked him endlessly in the court. Xining has approved another 500 people to relocate next year. Only 10,000 people will be able to move in two years, and they can still be approved for eight or nine years. You must know that 50,000 people is the number at the beginning of the year. Among the 50,000 people, the number of dependents is pregnant, excluding the number of elderly people who have died. Instead of falling, the number has risen a lot.
The country is peaceful and the people are safe, so naturally we should quickly raise more children.
After the autumn period, those who are on the list will need to take the imperial examination. The empress only gave out the test questions and did not attend the exam in person. The reason was very simple.
When the top three were canonized, they all fell short of standard. They were all kneeling there with red faces and lowered heads, not daring to look up.
Xining asked the new top scholar to raise his head and answer, but he stuttered about a couplet. It made her think that these three guys were cheating.
So I set up a desk in the palace and wrote the exam papers again.
After seeing that the two test papers were almost the same, I was sure that he was not cheating.
When asked about the reason, the new top pick seemed to have finally returned to normal.
The new top scholar replied with a blushing face: "
Dragon and phoenix hairpins are hard to compete with.
Without moving a weapon, the city will fall.
Graceful and luxurious, graceful as a dragon.
The Mysterious Girl from the Nine Heavens comes down to earth. ”
The words were a little simpler, but there was nothing I could do about it. Seeing the empress' eyes dazzled, she finally settled down. She was stammering just now when she spoke.
After Xining was stunned for a moment, he suddenly felt happy. Feelings are about the body. You look good!
When the empress is happy, she gets a good official title. After the top three paraded on horseback, they preached the beauty of the empress everywhere and wrote poems. The words were either gorgeous or pure, but they couldn't wait to use all the words of praise to describe the empress' stunning beauty.
This made a group of students who failed to pass the examination even more envious, giving them another reason to study hard. No matter what, I want to be named on the gold list, and I will see the empress when I enter the palace.
After autumn, it is winter.
The Taiyuan Hospital first said that her and the Queen's health had been nursed back to optimal condition, and even Supervisor Tiansi said that these days were auspicious days.
Xining naturally knew how to count the time, and even the chief manager would say something like, "Your Majesty's face is rosy, and the Queen is very energetic these days."
It is obvious that we are going to rush. It is not okay for the country to have no queen. Even at King Duan's house, six of his concubines are about to give birth in the next two months, and five more are pregnant. King Duan has completely gotten rid of the doubts, and now it is the turn of the empress.
Xi Ning already had a headache. How many times did he have to congratulate him? If he had known that King Duan was so powerful, he would have sent less concubines.
The ministers also began to come out to report to the court, what heirs are the foundation of the country, the literati either quoted from scriptures or made twists and turns in their speeches. Anyway, they urged the empress to have a child quickly, preferably with the emperor.
I have to work hard to get through the worries every day. When Xining was impatiently planning to roll up his sleeves, Mo Ming finally spoke.
"Mission accomplished, come back!"
