All Hail Cousin Brother

Everyone in the Xie residence was shocked.

After a long while, Mrs. Xie said, "The Empress Dowager...isn't it true..."

When the emperor seals the palace, the empress dowager has the responsibility of assisting in the administration of the government. All matters in the court, after being negotiated and drafted by the ministers of the cabinet, are handed over to the empress dowager to decide.

But if it is taken privately, it will be suspected of dictatorship.

This paper seal is a bit intriguing.

Yu Youyao thought: "The empress dowager is fairly fair, and the rewards and punishments are also clear. The matter of adding seals, whether or not it has been formulated by the cabinet, is a certainty."

Everyone in the Xie residence heard the deep meaning.

Grandpa Xie nodded: "That's right, the cabinet has only two subordinates in total, the old Han Ge loses power, and the royalist party is so powerful that his arms can't twist his thighs. Xiao Yao'er not only relieved the drought for the court, but also promoted national policies. There is Anbang. The great merits of the establishment of the census were originally awarded to the county master, adding a word [long], and only adding some honor, wealth, and honor, why should the courtiers offend the empress dowager in such a matter?"

The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager govern internal and external wives and have the right to reward their family members.

When the emperor wants to seal his family, he must first listen to the opinions of the empress dowager or the empress.

It is not too outrageous for the empress dowager to have such a move.

Mr. Xie took it seriously: "The courtiers are well aware of the calculations behind the Han family in Xi'an. The anger of the Queen Mother is also undisguised. No one will touch the bad luck of the Queen Mother at this juncture."

How precious is the status of the empress dowager? The Han family in Xi'an tried to provoke the authority of the empress dowager, how could the empress dowager tolerate it?

Rewarding Xiaoyao'er expresses the empress dowager's determination to settle down and suppress the Han family in Xi'an.

It is for the world to see.

Let everyone in the world know that the majesty of the court, the majesty of the royal family, and the authority of the queen mother cannot be provoked;

Shaoyi County Master, who promoted national policy, resettled victims and alleviated the drought, even more undisguisedly awarded him a great reward. It was also to let the world know that the court's determination to promote national policy, resettle the victims, and alleviate the drought was not to be disregarded. for peace of mind;

Anyone who, like Xi'an Han, wants to despise the ruling dynasty, provoke the majesty of the heavenly family, and cause chaos for the society at this juncture, for their own selfish interests, will end up in Xi'an Han.

"At the moment, the smooth promotion of national policies, resettlement of victims, alleviation of the drought, and stability of the society are the top priorities, and the key to all of this is Xiaoyao'er, and the grace and rewards for Xiaoyao'er are also for stability. The situation, all the obstructers, without exception, are against the court."

As long as the courtiers are not stupid, they will not jump out at this time and oppose the decision of the Empress Dowager.

Otherwise, once it is labeled as a "Korean Party", it will be doomed.

Xie Xun also said: "Last year, the flood victims in Zhejiang received relief from the imperial court and non-governmental organizations, but the relief was only temporary. The flooded land was sandy, and within a year and a half, it was almost impossible to grow food. But Xiaoyaoer ordered people to promote the cultivation of sweet potatoes in the disaster-stricken areas of Zhejiang. The affected people grew their rations for the second half of the year by planting sweet potatoes. The shadow of the flood in Zhejiang was also due to the high yield of sweet potatoes. go away."

People take food as their heaven. Since ancient times, there has been no such cheap, high-yield and belly-to-be-skinned crops as sweet potatoes.

This is also the reason why the court attaches great importance to the promotion and cultivation of sweet potatoes.

At the same time, the treasury was empty, and the imperial court was unable to provide disaster relief, but the lives of tens of millions of ordinary people could not be ignored, otherwise public resentment would spread and riots and uprisings would occur frequently.

The court sent troops to pacify the chaos, where did the huge military expenditure come from?

Without peace and chaos, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in jeopardy.

At this juncture, the Lord of Shaoyi and King Wumu can stand up, not only to complete the dignity and majesty of the court, but also to give tens of millions of victims a way to survive.

The royalist faction spared no effort to support Xiaoyao'er.

That's why Xiaoyao'er can get such a big honor by trying to grow sweet potatoes.

"Xiaoyao'er came to Liaodong because of her righteousness, but she was almost framed by the Han family in Xi'an, and she was really wronged by the sky. It is impossible for the court to pretend that it did not happen, it must be sympathetic and appeasement, otherwise it will be rewarded with something, it is really unreasonable."

This is based on emotion and reason, and from the standpoint of the society, the rewards and punishments are clear.

Who dares to object?

The old lady Xie sighed softly: "Although Xiaoyao'er has been sealed as the Princess Chang, just thinking about the various calculations in the palace, it feels like a stick in her throat, but she doesn't know how much is hidden behind this supreme honor. The mind is treacherous, and I feel frightened when I think about it."

Yu Youyao took it seriously.

Mr. Xie frowned: "Since ancient times, how can the benefits of the Tianjia be in vain? How much is obtained now, and in the future, it must be driven by it, and its liver and brain will be smeared on the ground. Earlier, Xiaoyaer was a county head title, so he took it out. most of his belongings."

The family looked at the bright yellow embroidered phoenix imperial decree on the table, and sighed helplessly.

The atmosphere in the room was also a little dignified.

Apparently in the eyes of outsiders, it is a supreme honor, but no one is happy.

At this time, Yu Youyao smiled: "It's too far to say, it will come from a fateful method. From the current point of view, it is a good thing that I have been sealed as the chief county master. I think it will come soon, once the news spreads, the northern border Those gentlemen who still have their luck, I'm afraid they won't be able to sit still."

The gentry restrained the vassal king, and it was the court's intention to restrain the vassal king, so as to prevent the vassal king from embracing the troops and taking the lead.

Gentlemen have nothing to fear.

But the one who wants to suppress the gentry now is the empress dowager who is in charge of the government, and it also represents the meaning of the court.

The gentry's umbrella was gone.

The matter of "falling Korea" is even more logical.

Grandpa Xie glanced at the reward and put it aside: "The reward from the Empress Dowager is a rare tribute, but it's probably still around. Xiao Yao'er's clothing, food, shelter and transportation are also mixed with a lot of precious spices and medicinal materials, you know The bitter cold in the Liaodong area was specially ordered by someone to prepare it."

Clearly still interested.

It's just that I don't know how much this heart has, but at least if it doesn't harm my own interests, I will still protect Xiaoyao'er for one or two.

Yu Youyao also discovered this.

Then, Mrs. Xie looked at the reward on the other side: "Most of the rewards given by the Empress are flashy, they are extremely rare, rare, rare, and if you take any of them, they are all rare treasures," he said. , he paused for a moment, and then said more solemnly: "The meaning of [pulling] is very obvious, you must have a measure in your heart."

When talking about the word "pull", his tone was a bit complicated, revealing an unusual meaning.
