This time the battle in the west has no effect on the women in the palace. On the contrary, they thought it was a good thing to be promoted because of Amnesty.
But I only dare to think in my heart, and dare not speak out.
This time, the younger sister of the Yu family was quite the show. Not only was she given a title and status, but she was also favored by the emperor after returning to the palace. Besides her, there are Concubine Mi and Wei Zhaoyi, who are also more favored.
As Concubine Mi, who had offended the emperor many times after entering the palace, this time she actually won the position of Concubine Jin, which surprised everyone. You must know that Mrs. Wan does not have any rewards, even depending on the emperor's intention, if it is not for the amnesty of the world, Mrs. Wan may be demoted.
Although Xi Jieyu was favored, the number of times she went to bed in a month was simply inferior to that of Concubine Mi, and even less for Wei Zhaoyi. But compared to other concubines who only got to see the emperor once or twice, these three people are already a lot.
Others don't know why Concubine Mi is favored, but Shen Yuqing knows that the reason for the amnesty this time is to let Concubine Mi advance to the next level, and by the way, start favoring Concubine Mi.
Concubine Mi, as the princess of Loulan, is an important link between Dayan and the small countries in the Western Regions to ease the relationship. Today, Loulan is the most powerful among the countries in the Western Regions. As long as Loulan is peaceful and does not do anything, other small countries will follow its example and will not make trouble.
Therefore, the emperor could no longer continue to neglect Concubine Mi. Not only can't be neglected, but also must support her, pamper her, let Loulan maintain the status quo in peace, and don't follow Xirong to take advantage of the fire.
I don't know how the emperor coaxed Concubine Mi in private. Anyway, Concubine Mi has been really happy recently, and she no longer cares about the two times she was humiliated before.
As for Xi Jieyu, it is said that the emperor accidentally heard that Xi Jieyu would take care of her sister who had hurt her face every day before going to the palace, so he was grateful for her kindness and began to pamper her.
Although Shen Yuqing felt that she went to take care of her sister every day just to watch her jokes, but the emperor said that she was kind, and that was kindness, and everyone had no objection.
Therefore, Xi Jieyu stepped on her sister's head and climbed up. And the concubine Mei, who had finally recovered her face, has not yet found a chance to regain her favor.
Perhaps because of the Xi Rong war, everyone was very peaceful within a month after returning to the palace, and they didn't dare to make any troubles to disturb the emperor. The smell of gunpowder is not as strong as before when I greet you on weekdays, until the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, there is a sudden good news.
After winning the battle, the atmosphere in the palace finally eased a lot. Although it was only a modest victory, it was enough.
This time, Xirong fought Dayan with all his strength. They sneaked up and attacked everywhere, but they took down several small towns and counties. The woman didn't get it, but the food was still.
They probably plan to fight a protracted war. Even if they can't grab a big city, they can find some small tooth-fighting festivals to live on. Now is the golden autumn, the season when the grain is ripe, and they probably want to grab some more so that they can last until the end of next summer.
Much of the food that Xirong had grown by himself was destroyed in the earthquake, and there was a shortage of food for the next year. But the weather over there is not good. If they replant, what to eat before the food grows is a big problem.
That's why I came to grab it.
The emperor has been having some headaches lately. In autumn, Xirong robbed food, and in winter, maybe the Huns in the north would also come to rob them. In short, there was no peace. However, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival in two days, so I don't want to worry about these troubles for now, let's deal with the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet first.
This time, the girl Jinli beside the emperor was busy helping the emperor with government affairs, so she couldn't help the queen.
Because of the war, the daily memorials doubled, and Jinli needed to sort them out in advance. Don't worry about handing it over to others, and those people are not careful enough, so Jinli can't get away.
Without the help of Sister Jinli, the omnipotent court lady, the empress and Dong Xiaohanqiu would be very busy managing palace affairs and organizing palace banquets. Fortunately, half a month ago Concubine Shen took the initiative to ask Ying to help, and then grandiosely took her daughter and the cat, lived in Fengyi Palace, and began to help organize palace banquets.
Naturally, Concubine Shen didn't know how to hold a palace banquet, and she couldn't hold back that there was Manchen next to her who was also an omnipotent palace lady. With Manchen's help, everything became orderly and there were not so many daily things.
After hearing the news, His Majesty the Emperor felt a little headache.
I don't know whether I should be thankful that Shen Yuqing didn't cause trouble, or worry about whether my sister is going to be abducted.
Concubine Shen didn't care if he was happy or not, as long as she was happy. Finally entered the room, and entered the room openly to declare ownership. Although few people thought about it, it was enough for Shen Yuqing to be excited for a long time.
Empress Fu looked at her like this, and silently uttered two words: "Excellence!"
Concubine Shen is not ashamed but proud, she is happy to live in her daughter-in-law's house, if nothing is worth it, it will be nothing.
"..."
Fengyi Palace is very close to the Imperial Garden. When it was first built, Fengyi Palace and Shoukang Palace not far away were both on the edge of the Imperial Garden. And a garden was enclosed, which was counted as the outer garden of the two palaces, and a small gate was added, and the key was in the hands of the two palaces.
Shen Yuqing was afraid that her daughter would be bullied by other concubines if she went to play in the imperial garden alone, but if she only played in this enclosed outer garden and locked the door, then there was no need to worry.
The layout of the palace banquet was very troublesome. Most of the maids and eunuchs in Jianjia Palace and Fengyi Palace had jobs. They couldn't help take care of Her Royal Highness, so they could only let the maids serving the princess be more careful. Fortunately, Mammy is still watching, so nothing will happen.
Shen Yuqing was happy to be at leisure, and when she didn't have to take care of her children, she just stayed by the queen's side. Sometimes it is to grow flowers with her, and sometimes it is to toss about palace affairs together.
Like now.
"Grandma, who is the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who has been greedy for so much money?" Concubine Shen slammed the account book.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of the purchase of all items in the entire palace and the distribution of routine items. There is plenty of oil and water, so there are naturally many people who are greedy for money. However, if it is not serious, everyone will just turn a blind eye and close their eyes, but this deputy manager is too rampant.
Especially in the past two or three years, they were openly greedy for money and received filial piety. Recently, it has restrained a lot, and I don't know why.
Empress Fu took a sip of tea calmly: "It's Mrs. Wan's natal brother."
"Madam Wan?" Shen Yuqing frowned.
No wonder.
A few years ago, Qingxi was the only princess in the palace, and Mrs. Wan's mother was precious because of her daughters, so the deputy manager could naturally take advantage of the situation to go wild. But during this period of time, Madam Wan had suffered a lot and even lost the custody of the princess, so he naturally didn't dare to be so arrogant anymore.
"Why didn't you replace him before?"
Fu Qiushui shook his head: "It can't be changed. Mrs. Wan's background is low, and only this elder brother is helping, so she can't make any big waves. If you change people, I don't know which force will intervene to plug people in. It will be cheaper at that time. Others Concubine."
To be honest, Madam Wan's elder brother is greedy for money at best in this position. If a person of another power came to sit on it, for example, the person on Concubine Rong's side became the deputy manager, Concubine Rong would be equivalent to intervening in the House of Internal Affairs, that is, intervening in palace affairs in disguise.
With its own people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is convenient to do many things. Whether it's accepting bribes or taking the opportunity to tamper with other people's items, it's a breeze.
Shen Yuqing pondered for a while, and then asked: "Who is the manager?"
"He belongs to Mr. Yan."
"Then there is another deputy director?" There are two deputy directors in total.
"On the surface, they are from Fengyi Palace." But in fact, they are still from the emperor, after all, the siblings are on the same boat.
That's fine, there is nothing wrong with the chief executive being in the hands of the emperor, and it is normal for the deputy chief executive to be divided into one queen. If there is another deputy manager, isn't there still her
Shen Yuqing curled her lips slightly: "I'm the deputy queen, so it's not an exaggeration to meddle in the House of Internal Affairs, right?"
Can the deputy general manager be replaced? Of course you have to change. Since everyone can secretly fight for the ownership of the deputy chief executive, why can't she Shen Guifei? She is the person with the highest rank in the palace besides the empress, and the Shen family is not a down and out family, so the success rate of competing for the position of deputy chief is quite high.
What's more, the emperor would secretly make conveniences.
Fu Qiushui was taken aback for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "I forgot about you."
He only cared about guarding against other concubines, and forgot that there was a noble concubine. In the past, the imperial concubine was indifferent to fame and fortune, and never interfered with these things. Now that she has started to help the queen handle the palace banquet, she naturally has a "big heart" and wants to intervene in the House of Internal Affairs.
Moreover, it just so happens that the imperial concubine got in touch with the affairs of the House of Internal Affairs through the palace banquet. Isn't it logical for her to stuff herself with people? Not only that, she is sure to be much more convenient than others.
So the imperial concubine immediately let go of her hands and feet to sort out the evidence of the deputy chief executive's corruption and acceptance of bribes, planning to take the evidence directly to take him away, and then vigorously promote her own people.
It just so happened that Mrs. Shen had previously installed a small steward with a moderate position in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for her own daughter, and she was absolutely trustworthy. If it wasn't for the fact that the emperor and the empress hadn't watched closely before, and Concubine Shen Gui didn't do anything herself, how could he have climbed up to such a low position long ago.
After all, even Concubine Rong back then and Concubine De now have a big steward in the House of Internal Affairs to help. Concubine De entered the palace much later than Concubine Shen Gui!
Shen Guifei is very efficient, and Hanqiu has already collected some evidence before, and now they are handed over to Shen Yuqing. It didn't take long for Concubine Shen Gui to obtain enough evidence to bring him down.
The speed of the matter this time must be fast, and let the dust settle before the concubines can react, so that there will be no accidents.
But it's not easy to be quick, to capture the deputy chief must visit the House of Internal Affairs in person, and the House of Internal Affairs is located in the front palace. Although there is only one road away from the harem, the high palace walls and the forbidden building separate the two sides. If you want to go there, you must get a token to walk through the doorway below the forbidden building.
Concubines are not allowed to enter the front palace if they have nothing to do, but the eunuchs of each palace can go to the front palace with tokens, but the tokens are real-name system, that is to say, they can only be used by themselves.
The Great Yan Dynasty was a system jointly established by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Palace of the Sixth Palace. In fact, these two things are the same thing, and they are both responsible for purchasing and distributing internal affairs. It's just that there are men on duty in the House of Internal Affairs, so it is not suitable to be placed in the harem, and can only be placed in the front palace.
However, every palace in the harem would come to collect the items in the order from time to time, but they couldn't easily go to the front palace, so they set up a Liushang palace in the harem. The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of purchasing, and the Liushang Palace is in charge of distribution. The two places are very close to each other, separated by a palace road in the middle. A few corner doors were purposely opened for the convenience of the eunuchs in transporting things, guarded by the imperial guards.
Therefore, the fastest way to go to the House of Internal Affairs is to walk through the corner gate of Liushang Palace, but without the communication token given by the emperor, it is impossible to pass.
Find the emperor to get the token, go there, and then deal with the matter. This process usually takes a long time, enough for the enemy to prepare. That's why I said that it is not so easy to want to be fast.
But who is Concubine Shen Gui? Isn't it a matter of minutes that she wants the token
Shen Yuqing directly asked Que Ri to go to the Zichen Palace. At this moment, Miss Jinli should be in the Zichen Palace to help the emperor sort out the memorials to be dealt with at night. Jinli has a token in her hand, just ask her to take it.
If other people want tokens, it's not that simple. You have to go to the Qiangong Yushu to find the emperor first, and then explain the purpose of your visit. The emperor will think about it before deciding whether to give it or not. It is extremely troublesome, and the emperor may not even give a token.
Miss Jinli was much more efficient, she succumbed to the imperial concubine's coercion every minute, and quickly handed over the token.
Concubine Shen took the people to the West Palace in a mighty manner, and the Liushang Palace was located in the corner of the West Harem.
"The imperial concubine is here—"
At the moment, there is quite a lot of activity outside the Liushang Palace. The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. According to the old rules over the years, large-scale festivals will give out additional items such as monthly regulations and clothing, which are counted as royal gifts. So at this moment, people from all the palaces came to get things, people came and went, they were very surprised to see the imperial concubine, and quickly knelt down to salute.
Concubine Shen Gui didn't pay attention to these small fish and shrimps, and went in directly with the maid holding the ledger and the eunuchs with guards.
Liushang Palace covers a large area, and the departments are organized into categories. There are three corner gates on the southernmost side, each of which is not small, and they are indeed guarded by the imperial guards, who strictly check the eunuchs who come and go to prevent men from entering.
Seeing Shen Guifei approaching, they immediately clasped their fists together: "Your Highness, Your Highness?"
Concubine Shen raised her chin slightly, Man Xing took two steps forward, and showed the token: "My mother has something to go to the House of Internal Affairs, please let me go."
The captain of the imperial army quickly took the token and inspected it carefully. After a long while, he handed it back to Man Xing, and waved his hand to make way.
"Your Majesty, I've offended you." He lowered his head and said respectfully.
"It's okay." Shen Yuqing led the people past without saying anything to the captain. There are too many people here, and if you say a few more words, you don't know how they will arrange her when they go back. The concubines in the harem are the most taboo to get involved with foreign men.
Although there was a young eunuch from the Ministry of Internal Affairs who just saw that the situation was not good and came to communicate, but no one could figure out who this empress was here to deal with. There are nails in every palace here, and none of them are clean.
Deputy Manager Liu was a little restless when he heard the news. For some reason, he always felt that the lady was coming for him.
The noble concubine took over the eldest princess before, and started to intervene in the palace affairs again. If she said that she would not seize the opportunity to completely suppress Mrs. Wan, he would not believe a word!
As long as Mrs. Wan falls down, the eldest princess will be completely Shen Yuqing's daughter in the future!
Thinking of this, Vice President Liu panicked even more.
He's not stupid, he knows that all the things he has done are already enough for him. But in the past, he had his younger sister backing him up, and he also knew that it was the best choice for the emperor and empress to occupy this position, so he didn't think he would fall.
But now, the situation is different.
No concubine in the palace had ever intervened in the palace affairs before, and the empress took care of it all by herself!
Before she intervenes, the concubine Gong is not qualified to replace the deputy manager. And the two giant Buddhas of the emperor and empress do not want to change, so he can sit comfortably all the time. Who would have thought that a concubine Shen Gui would be killed halfway.
In previous years, I didn't see His Majesty let Shen Guifei share the palace affairs, what happened this year? Could it be to win over the left minister
Before he could think of a reason, Concubine Shen Gui had brought someone to his office.
"Deputy Manager Liu." Concubine Shen looked at him with a half-smile, "I don't need someone in my palace to recite the good deeds you have done in public, right?"
The deputy manager broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Majesty..."
"Come here, suppress him for me." Concubine Shen Gui was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and directly arrested him.
Talking too much wasted her time.
The deputy manager originally wanted to struggle, but when he saw the account books in the hands of the maids, he immediately softened. He was dragged down by the eunuch and sent directly to the prison.
The prison is right next door, not far away, very convenient. After Concubine Shen ordered the account books to be sent to the criminal prison, she immediately recruited that nail of the Shen family and gave him the position of deputy manager.
This matter was handled too quickly, and the concubines in the harem found out that Concubine Shen had gone to Liushang Palace, and then the news turned out to be that Concubine Shen had removed the former Deputy Chief Liu and made Qin Sinian take over as Deputy Chief.
The eyes of the concubines who missed the opportunity were darkened, and they became anxious.
But Shen Guifei's move is too... too... too straightforward!
How do other people promote their own people
First recommend a few capable people to the emperor and other concubines who are also in charge of internal affairs, and then focus on promoting your own one, boasting hype, and then logically decide to let him take over.
It was good for Shen Yuqing, she brought the person up without even saying hello, for fear that others would not know that it was her person? Don't you worry that they will pull this man off the horse behind their backs
Shen Guifei said: I don't care.
To be honest, if they had the ability, would Liu be able to stay in the fat job for so long? Is the emperor dead? Whoever the emperor lets sit in this position, no one else can take it away.
In any case, the position of the newly appointed Manager Qin has basically been secured.
Not to mention concubines who are not qualified to intervene in internal affairs, even if they are qualified to intervene, there is no way to pull them down at this moment. I can only watch Concubine Shen Gui take advantage of it, and feel sorry for her.
If they knew that they could reap such great benefits by intervening in the palace affairs, they should have gone to the queen to show their courtesy and loyalty, and offered to help the queen share the palace banquet arrangements.
It's a pity, they didn't expect this one, let Shen take the lead.
She got a deputy manager right after she took office, and Concubine Shen probably got a lot of benefits later on, it makes people envious just thinking about it.
Afterwards, His Majesty the Emperor learned of the news, and immediately sent people to search for Manager Liu's house. I have been greedy for so much money, it's time to spit out the money.
The next day, the emperor rewarded Concubine Ming for her meritorious service in catching corrupt officials, and gave her 50,000 taels of gold.
After hearing this, the concubines in the harem first thought that it was too vulgar to actually give gold! The second thought is, what a fucking lot of money =dish=!
Fifty thousand taels of gold!
How greedy is Director Liu, that the emperor is willing to give 50,000 taels to Concubine Shen during the extremely expensive war!
According to the calculation that one tael of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins, and one penny is approximately equal to one federal credit point... Shen Yuqing opened the calculator that comes with the system... . ..
five billion... ...
Concubine Shen Gui shook her hand and almost threw the lord out.
Concubine Shen hurriedly and carefully put Master Mao into Qingxi's arms, let her play by herself, and then happily ran to find the empress.
"Autumn water and autumn water!" Shen Yuqing threw the empress on the soft couch down, "I am rich, so I can take care of you!"
Fu Qiushui: "... Get lost."
She needs Shen Yuqing to take care of her? She is the one who has a good brother.
Someone who tried to take care of the empress was mercilessly pushed away.
Shen Guifei is very dissatisfied, the emperor can compare to her? If the Huns came after a while, the emperor might have to take money from his private treasury to fill up the state treasury. How could he have spare money to support Fu Qiushui.
"The national treasury is not as poor as you think." Fu Qiushui said coolly while flipping through the books.
Not to mention fighting two battles, two more battles will last.
Dayan Kingdom is rich and strong, but it doesn't like large-scale construction projects, so there are not so many places to spend money. There are also few corrupt officials, so the treasury is full. What's more, there is a whole group of extremely stingy and preoccupied household officials...
Cough, in short, there is no shortage of money in the national treasury, and the emperor's private treasury is also full.
Shen Guifei was not very happy after hearing this.
The emperor had more money in his private treasury than she did, and she suspected that more than half of the money that had been stolen from Deputy Manager Liu's house had been confiscated by him.
Filling your pockets, foolish king!
Concubine Shen Gui went out with her hands behind her back. She was in a bad mood today and didn't want to work anymore. She went to see what her daughter was playing.
Empress Fu looked at her back silently, deeply feeling that it was not easy for His Majesty the Emperor who tolerated Shen Yuqing every day before.
