Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

He broke into the dungeon without permission, intending to coerce Wang Luo to investigate the Luneng Mountain case, but the result came out three days before the court's annual vacation.

An Guogong thought that he was being taken advantage of, but he didn't know the truth. He was demoted from Duke to Marquis and fined half a year's salary.

The Prince of Qishan County knew that the late emperor had forbidden spying on King Xi's case, but he knowingly violated the law. He was deprived of the throne and demoted to a commoner, and his family moved out of the capital.

The Marquis of Yuanning, the Marquis of the Township, and the Prince of Yongwu were seized and exiled, their family property was confiscated, and their direct descendants were not allowed to enter official positions within ten years.

Of the six families involved in the case, Prince Qishan was demoted to a commoner, and the other families, not to mention those who seized titles, had their property confiscated and were sentenced to exile.

Only Duke An Guo was demoted by one rank. Faced with this result, the ministers were both surprised and unsurprised.

Anguo Gongfu is the son-in-law of the eldest princess Ronghua.

The eldest princess personally came forward to intercede with the Queen Mother. It was impossible for the Emperor and the Queen Mother not to give her face.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court began its annual holiday, and the emperor rarely had any leisure time.

Just after noon, he ran to Cining Palace and said to Ruan Qing with a shy smile: "Mother, my son is here to have lunch with you."

"It's rare for you to rest, so you should spend more time with the queen. She is pregnant and needs more comfort." Ruan Qing glanced at him.

"There are more than ten days of annual leave. My son has plenty of time to spend with her, but in the case of my mother, my son has not come to eat with her for some days." The emperor smiled.

"You must be greedy, so you came here specially to get some food."

"The cooks at Queen Mother's side are good at cooking. I'm afraid the food cooked by the chef in the imperial kitchen is a little too strong. I've told you this several times, but I won't change it."

"You are very busy every day. They need to prepare meals for you according to the needs of the imperial physician, so you can't do it casually.

Apart from eating, do you have anything else to say to me when you come here today? "

"Well, the New Year's Eve banquet is coming soon. My son wants to discuss with his mother whether the dishes should be the same as in previous years, or what should we do?

And there is Marquis An Guo. How should his seats be arranged during the New Year's Eve banquet, and how should the food in their house be given?

Should it continue to be according to the specifications of previous years, or should it be the same as other Marquis standards.

Speaking of my son, I never expected that my eldest aunt was so affectionate for the prince-in-law, and for the sake of the Jiang family, she was willing to cooperate with us unconditionally to clean up the court.

Without her cooperation, this case would not have been resolved so quickly and smoothly. "The emperor said.

When talking about Princess Ronghua, I couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Is not it good?"

"Of course it's good. After this incident, my son believes that there will never be another ridiculous thing like the summons being unable to leave Chengming Palace.

It would be better if the eldest aunt is willing to hand over the military power in her hands. "The young emperor smiled so hard that his teeth disappeared.

"Emperor, don't think of everything as too beautiful, otherwise you will easily become extremely happy and sad.

Besides, the most taboo in the court is for one family to dominate. " Ruan Qing couldn't help but pour a basin of cold water upon hearing this.

"The queen is right, her son has lost his way." The emperor was stunned, and then he admitted his mistake in a good-natured manner.

"Emperor, you are still young, and it is only natural for people to feel a little proud as you have achieved good results in recent months.

But after the New Year, you will be twenty-two, and you will be a father in seven or eight months, so you have to slowly learn to control your emotions.

Besides, at present, our Daxi treasury is empty, people's livelihood is declining, and there are many problems that need to be solved. It is really not the time to be happy yet. " Ruan Qing sighed.

"My mother taught me that my son is frivolous. At present, most of the factions and resistance in the court have been eliminated. Next, my son will make every effort to develop the national economy and people's livelihood. When my mother discovers that my son has done something wrong, please correct him in time.

My son heard that his mother wanted to start a business alliance. Is there anything he needs help with? "The emperor said with a smile.

Less than a year after taking the throne, the situation that was previously difficult to move has been completely opened up.

Concubine Li's mother, who was watching eagerly, fell, and most of the cliques in the court were wiped out.

Even Princess Ronghua took the initiative to make peace and no longer restricted his hands and feet.

As an emperor, he is no longer just a decoration in the Chengming Palace.

Even if he was beaten by his mother, it still could not affect his good mood.

"If you don't take the initiative to bring this up, I will find time to talk to you.

If we want the country to be prosperous and the people strong, developing business is an issue that must not be ignored.

Only if commerce develops well can goods from the east, west, north, and south flow to each other quickly.

It is far better for the court to collect taxes based on these circulating commodities than to focus on the one-third of an acre of land in the hands of ordinary people all day long.

Last month, I summoned several thoughtful businessmen at the Women's Association and asked them to come up with a plan.

I just handed it over two days ago and I made a summary.

I'll give it to you later. Find a time to go and have a look with Cui Zhiqing from the Ministry of Revenue. Ruan Qing said.

"Okay." The emperor nodded.

The young emperor was full of energy, and he was interested in anything that was beneficial to the development of the court.

"As for the New Year's banquet and gifting of vegetables you just asked about, let me first tell you my thoughts for your reference."

"Mother, please speak."

"Let's talk about Marquis Anguo first. Since the Jiang family has been demoted to marquis, everything must be according to the standards of marquis.

The second is the New Year’s Eve banquet. Our Daxi’s New Year’s Eve banquet is always held on New Year’s Eve.

But New Year's Eve is a reunion night, and ordinary people want to reunite with their families, and courtiers are no exception.

What I mean is to change the time of the New Year's Eve banquet to noon on New Year's Eve, and the food-giving time can be changed to the evening.

A banquet is given during the day, and it is convenient for everyone to enter the palace.

Let their families gather together in the evening, sit together as a family, eat the dishes given by the emperor, and express gratitude for the emperor's kindness. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Ruan Qing said.

"My mother's suggestion is very reasonable. The New Year's banquet will be held in the evening, and the courtiers will go home after midnight.

We still have to get up early to worship our ancestors the next day. They are tired, and so are we.

But this rule was set by our ancestors of the Xie family, and he changed it as soon as his son ascended the throne..." The emperor agreed with Ruan Qing's suggestion, and hesitated when he thought about changing the rules of his ancestors.

"The rules of our ancestors also need to be determined according to the situation. Changing the order of the annual banquet and dish giving is the best of both worlds, so why not do it.

If you can't make up your mind, you can call the clan over and ask. "Ruan Qing gave an idea.

"What the mother said is that when the son goes back after dinner, he will go to the clan to discuss it."

In the past two months, most of the stubborn people have been licked off. The clan members must have learned well and will not contradict themselves because of such a trivial matter.

The young emperor thought silently.

"By the way, Emperor, have you checked your inner treasury recently?"

Speaking of the clan, Ruan Qing couldn't help but think that most of the inner treasury of Cining Palace had been emptied.

In recent days, I haven’t seen anyone take the initiative to return anything inside.

She didn't know what the emperor's inner treasury was like. If no one on either side took the initiative, she would have to deal with the annual banquet the day after tomorrow.
