After two dynasties, the Zhao family said that they would be removed, and Xiao Zhige's iron-blooded wrist sounded the alarm for the remaining old officials who were still lucky enough to rely on the old to betray the old and grasp the new emperor.
Although there were nearly half of the officials above the court, there was no delay in what should be done. These officials were used to being lazy under Emperor Anqing. After witnessing the collapse of the Zhao family overnight, they all tightened their skins. Now, to make this Jagged New Emperor dislike his eyes, he will slap him to the end in one sentence.
Xiao Zhige roughly straightened out the mess of the government, and discussed with Ji Anmin, ordering him to be the chief examiner, to recruit Enke as soon as possible, attract talents, and make up for the shortage of officials. It took another half a month of work to finally get rid of the busy government affairs.
After ascending the throne, one thing after another, there are still many things he has not had time to do.
The first one is after the closure. Since he is the emperor, An Changqing will naturally be the queen. His original idea was to ask Taichang Temple to prepare for the grand ceremony of conferring the queen. He ascended the throne in a hurry, and did not like extravagance and waste, and the ceremony of enthronement was very low-key and simple. However, he wanted to hold the Queen's Grand Ceremony in a grand and grand manner.
But when talking with Ji Anmin about Kaienke taking office, he suddenly remembered An Changqing's high-spirited appearance when he was drinking with his friends. It was a completely different demeanor than usual. If An Changqing was trapped in the deep palace, he might not have the chance to see him so free and easy.
Xiao Zhige hesitated for a long time, and finally couldn't bear to keep him in the deep palace for a little selfishness. He had concerns in his heart, so he went to find An Changqing and wanted to ask his opinion.
Since the canonization ceremony has not yet been held, An Changqing is still a princess. But Xiao Zhige has never been a man of etiquette. He is not willing to keep people outside the palace, so despite the persuasion of several pedantic old officials, he insists on bringing An Changqing and a pair of children into the palace first.
Since the Qiwu Palace had not been repaired, An Changqing and his children lived in the Qianzheng Palace, which was the closest to the Chongzheng Palace. When Xiao Zhige went to court, he went back to the main palace to handle government affairs, and occasionally took the children with him when he was free, so that the brothers and sisters would not quarrel with An Changqing.
In these days of entering the palace, although An Changqing's name has not been determined, he is actually taking care of everything in the harem.
Emperor Anqing's harem has been moved to the Spring Mountain Palace, and the concubines who have not been fortunate have been put back home, while the concubines who have been lucky enough to live in the palace are living in their old age. And the palace servants they left behind, who should be killed and who should be released. Talented and unintentional re-enablement. Then let people start to adjust. Teach a new batch of palace servants for driving. Although the minutiae are the people below to worry about, but the master An Changqing also has to keep his eyes open, and it is not much easier than Xiao Zhige.
Therefore, His Majesty, who was decisive in killing the court, is now in the court and has to take care of the baby.
When Xiao Zhige returned to the Qianzheng Palace, An Changqing was discussing with the newly promoted grand eunuch Wang Yu how to cut the manpower of each department in the palace and reduce the cost. When Emperor Anqing was in power, the treasury was emptied, and Xiao Zhige was about to ascend the throne. If you are not at home, you do not know that diesel, rice, oil, and salt are expensive. After really taking power, An Changqing realized clearly what it means to be short of money for everything. The money earned in the past was nothing but a drop in the bucket for the riddled Da Ye.
Xiao Zhige tried to find a way to open source in the previous dynasty, but in the harem, he could only try to save money as much as possible. The Anqing Emperor's harem was extravagant, staffed and complicated, and the accumulated accounts were even more chaotic. An Changqing casually flipped through a few books and found that they were all bad debts. The prices recorded in the account books were even more outrageous. After killing the chickens and showing the monkeys, he simply abolished the old rules, cut manpower, and acted according to his newly drawn up regulations.
Although Wang Yu was newly promoted, but following An Changqing these days, he became more and more convinced of him, and he was very dedicated to his work. It's just that he has no foundation, and many things are inevitably difficult to do: "The eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Division and the aunt of the Weaving Division came to look for slaves and maids again yesterday, saying that the price you set is too low. The palace uses all imperial offerings, and the price is also high. It's bound to be taller."
The most serious bad debts are the Shangshan Division and the Weaving Division. These two places are in charge of the clothing and food of the master in the palace, and the oil and water are the most abundant. An Changqing was the first to use these two places. The bad debts in the past were not to be blamed, but for all future purchases, An Changqing asked Wang Yu to inquire about the price, and set a clear price. In this way, there is less oil and water that can be fished in the middle.
This rule was only set. The eunuch in charge of the Shangshan Department and the aunt of the weaving department complained to Wang Yu two or three times. The meaning inside and outside of the words is that this old example has been followed for three dynasties and absolutely cannot be wrong. An Changqing made such a random change , is breaking the ancestral rules and so on.
These old fritters in the palace are accustomed to their accent. Seeing that An Changqing has a good-natured temper and has not been held accountable, they think that he is a soft persimmon and want to continue to play with it.
However, although An Changqing doesn't get angry easily, he is not a soft persimmon. He said coldly: "Tell me, since they are not competent, they should abdicate and let the sages. You can find a few more clever little eunuchs to train and teach. Come on, when they get started, it's just right to be short."
Wang Yu respectfully should be.
As soon as Xiao Zhige entered the inner hall, he heard An Changqing's angry half words, and said solemnly: "Which one made you angry again?"
Wang Yu hurriedly bowed when he heard the sound, and when he saw Xiao Zhige wave his hand, he silently retreated to the side and waited.
Xiao Zhige stepped forward and saw that An Changqing looked a little tired, so he rubbed his temples distressedly: "Why are there so many chores in the palace?"
An Changqing leaned back on him, half-closed his eyelids and muttered: "It used to be a bunch of messes. We have few people to use, and it's not easy for those general managers to supervise affairs and aunts to deal with them all at once. , otherwise no one will work, so we can only deal with it first. It will be fine when our own manpower is cultivated."
Xiao Zhige felt distressed when he heard it, and felt more and more that this palace was really not a good place, and it was even harder to be a queen. He thought about it and said, "Why don't you invite the eldest princess to enter the palace to manage the affairs of the harem?"
An Changqing opened his eyes and looked up at him: "Why did you mention this all of a sudden? I have to learn how to deal with it, and I can't always bother the eldest princess."
Xiao Zhige shook his head and said warmly, "I have something to tell you."
After saying that, he glanced at Wang Yu who was standing beside him, and Wang Yu consciously retreated.
"What's the matter?" An Changqing sat up straight.
Xiao Zhige considered it for a while before saying, "Do you want to be the queen?"
His question was inexplicable, and An Changqing didn't understand the meaning of it for a while, and said with wide eyes: "What can I do if I don't become a queen? Could it be that you still want me to move someone else's place?"
His eyes were raised high, looking at that appearance, if Xiao Zhige dared to nod, he would make trouble.
"What nonsense." Xiao Zhige reluctantly pinched his waist punitively, and explained, "I mean, if you have the opportunity to take the imperial examinations or do something else, you are still willing to be trapped in the palace. Is it?"
He said solemnly: "You know, if you set up a queen, you will only be trapped in this harem in the future."
An Changqing was stunned for a while, and his calm eyes gradually became turbulent, and he couldn't believe it: "You... I am married to you, how can I still be in office? Besides, if I am not the queen, wouldn't those courtiers be forcing you to make an appointment? Concubine…”
He spoke incoherently, and at first glance, he was panicked.
Xiao Zhige gently rubbed his side face, told him to look at himself, and said, "You don't have to think about those, I will solve them. You just need to tell me whether you want to stay in the harem or be free. Feel free to do something else, go into business or do anything else, as you please."
An Changqing looked into his eyes, the man's eyes were solemn and serious, not to coax him.
After a moment of silence, An Changqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she said honestly, "If it is possible, I naturally don't want to be trapped in the palace all day."
In the last life, he was trapped in the harem all day long. Apart from reading books and making tea, he never even went out of the palace gate once. No matter how big this palace is, it is only a cage after all.
"I think so too." Xiao Zhige laughed: "He is so capable, he shouldn't be trapped in the harem for me."
An Changqing didn't know what he was going to do, and was a little worried, so he could only say with a straight face: "That's what I said, but if you dare to give this position to someone else, even if it's just a show, I won't come back."
"Well, don't worry..." Xiao Zhige pressed the back of his neck to him, and bit his lips lightly: "You just believe me, when did I lie to you?"
An Changqing thought about it seriously this time, and said, "You lied to me more than once."
"..." Xiao Zhige was choked and speechless. After a light cough, he remedied: "I won't lie to you this time, you just wait."
***
Xiao Zhige asked him for his opinion, but he didn't tell An Changqing what to do next. Just took him to the Palace of the First Princess.
Xiao Youxi is now the eldest princess, and Cai Cong sent troops to help in times of crisis. Xiao Zhige thanked the two for their kindness, and greatly rewarded the eldest princess and the Cai family. Just like Li Concubine's death always lingered in Xiao Zhige's heart, the death of Empress Dowager Zhao could not be eliminated in a short time.
After the Empress Dowager Zhao died, Xiao Zhige still buried her in the imperial tomb with the late emperor in the face of the eldest princess. As a human woman, Xiao Youxi is still sad even if she knows that Empress Dowager Zhao has done a lot of mistakes over the years. After that, she became more and more isolated, but the concubine often visited her these days, which was a consolation.
This is the second time Xiao Zhige has gone to see the eldest princess since the death of Empress Dowager Zhao.
The ending of the Empress Dowager Zhao and the Zhao family is a given, he will never leave a disaster for the future, but in the face of the eldest princess, he will inevitably feel guilty. He had a grudge against the eldest princess because of the death of his mother and concubine. Now that the Queen Mother Zhao died in his hands, it would be reasonable if the eldest princess hated him. Therefore, after Empress Dowager Zhao was buried, Xiao Zhige once went to the palace of the eldest princess alone.
He said at the time: "The death of the mother-in-law originally had nothing to do with the eldest princess. It was my selfish anger that I refused to forgive. Now it is for my selfishness. The queen mother and the Zhao family have to get rid of it. If the eldest princess hates me, she can take revenge. I I would like to receive a sword from the eldest princess, and I only hope that the eldest princess can dispel the hatred in her heart."
The death of Emperor Anqing made him understand many things, and he gradually let go of Li Concubine's death, so he could understand Xiao Youxi's situation more and more over the years. The old grudges are gone, and the only thing left is guilt. The royal bloodline had already withered away, and now his blood relatives are only the eldest princess. He hopes to do everything he can to resolve the resentment between the two, at least, to let all the resentment and hatred in the past end with him and not continue.
But Xiao Youxi did not take the sword that he handed over. She was fashionable and dressed in filial attire. There was a sad look between her brows, but her expression was very peaceful. She said to Xiao Zhige: "My mother has done many wrong things, and I can't stop it. Now she pays the price for it, and I will not. So resentment. The change of the throne will inevitably lead to bloodshed and sacrifice. I only hope that you will be able to untie your knot in the future, become a wise king, and don’t follow your father and queen. If you want, you can call me an aunt in the future.”
Even An Changqing didn't know the conversation at the eldest princess' mansion that day, but after Xiao Zhige returned, he handed over Yejing's patrol to his consort Cai Cong.
The knot in the past has been resolved, and the relationship between the eldest princess and the concubine has also eased. When Xiao Zhige and An Changqing arrived, Cai Cong was still drinking tea with the eldest princess. Xiao Zhige didn't bring too many people and entered the princess mansion in a low-key manner.
Xiao Youxi's complexion was much more rosy than last time.
Xiao Zhige and An Changqing called "aunt", glanced at Cai Cong next to him, and called "uncle" again.
Cai Cong looked very happy, smiling until his teeth were lost. Xiao Youxi glanced at him sideways, didn't say anything, and asked the two of them in a gentle tone to speak.
The maid served tea, and Xiao Zhige exchanged a few words before explaining his purpose.
"Ask me to enter the palace to manage the harem?" Xiao Youxi looked surprised.
"Yes, I have other arrangements for the canonization of Changqing, and I am not planning to let him indulge in the affairs of the harem." Xiao Zhige said: "There is no queen mother in the palace at the moment, and the only person who is suitable is my aunt. So I want to invite my aunt to enter. Palace, temporarily manage the affairs of the harem."
Xiao Youxi did not refuse, but asked, "What do you mean by Changqing's other arrangements? I thought you would be impatient to make him queen. I also thought that those old ministers might cry, make trouble, and hang themselves again."
Xiao Zhige let out a low laugh, looked sideways at An Changqing and said, "The queen will naturally be sealed, but not now. I plan to discuss merit first, and Feng Changqing will be the king side by side."
The word is side by side with the king, with the same respect as the king, above ten thousand people, and no longer need to be bound by the rules of the deep palace.
The author has something to say: Advice: If you don't seal the queen, you will be king, the old people will never think of it (proud
