Emperor Tong's Concubine Tong in Qing Dynasty

Tian Mi was really curious, so she couldn't help but lift up the bed curtain quietly, and the maid who was guarding here came over quietly, Tian Mi told her: "Go and see if you are crying or laughing?"

The court lady also felt a little intrusive, and she didn't know who was making trouble in the middle of the night.After going there and coming back, Tian Mi was already asleep, so after getting up and having dinner the next day, the maid came to report, "It was the news from the concubine of the Yonghe Palace yesterday. Some young masters of the Yonghe Palace said that the empress I was laughing, listening to the crazy. Some said that they were crying, and felt miserable. There are different opinions, just..."

"What's the matter?"

"The concubine de concubine is ill. Yesterday the cold air invaded, and today she has a fever. Her maid asked if she wanted to invite the imperial physician."

"Please, do you still have to ask?" Let Si elder brother know that he will not summon the imperial physician to his biological mother, I don't know what he thinks in his heart, this is a risk that Tian Mi cannot bear.

Tian Mi called Qingyu over, "In the future, don't ask me about Concubine De as you see fit."

This is really hard to handle, Defei has announced the imperial physician, no matter how good or bad, the fourth elder brother has to go to ask, whether to go or not is a kind of torment.

The matter was difficult, but Herring agreed, first brought two bowls of medicine to Tian Mi, and then mentioned that several masters in the palace were ill this morning.

"The concubine Rong of Changchun Palace, the concubine Jing of Xianfu Palace, and Tong Guiren of Yanxi Palace, they are all sick. Especially in Xianfu Palace, I heard that something is not good, people have already started talking nonsense What did you say that seeing the young Gege who died young, Anpin was so frightened that she just opened the palace gate early in the morning, hiding and waiting for the emperor's holy driver to leave before she dared to report."

This kind of thing happens every day in the palace, send people to ask around, and then send a few toys to Tong Guiren, spend the whole morning to clean up these chores, after dinner in the afternoon, take a sedan chair to Qianqing Palace.

There will be many people waiting for an audience, the emperor is still busy, Li Dequan led Tian Mi to the side hall to wait.After walking a few steps, I met the prince who came out of Dongnuan Pavilion.

Tian Mi has no relationship with the prince, since she came here, Tian Mi has not seen the prince several times.If it wasn't for the color of the clothes, Tian Mi would not have known that this was the prince.

"The imperial concubine is here." He slapped a thousand, speaking very politely, "Huang Ama is meeting with King Jian, the empress will go to see her later."

From the perspective of bearing, the prince really has the air of a crown prince, with a sense of majesty in himself, and a kind attitude towards others.And he is the one who looks the most like Kangxi among these princes.I heard that I usually study well, except for a little pride, I really don’t see that it will be abolished in the future.

"Just listen to the prince, where are you going?"

"Go to pay respects to the ancestors and the queen mother."

Tian Mi hurriedly turned sideways to make way, "Hurry up, it will be warmer while walking on the road while the sun is out, and it might be cold if it is later."

The prince smiled and did not leave, but stood in front of Tian Mi with his hands behind his back, "Is your empress here today to inquire about the Cao family?"

Tian Mi thinks that the little prince is a drunkard who doesn't want to drink, and maybe he is blocking himself here.

"The work of rectifying the Ministry of Internal Affairs has been done for the most part. When the Cao family was in the south of the Yangtze River, they left out their family affairs and took care of it while they were in Beijing. After all, there are some things that cannot be kept for the New Year. "

The prince's cheeks still have a little baby fat. Although he is in his early ten years old, he looks very cute.It’s just that the words she said were not cute enough, “The wife of Cao’s family is loyal to Huang Ama. When she takes care of Huang Ama for many times, you have to show mercy to these slaves for her sake. There is a saying Well said, if you want the horse to run, you have to feed the horse, don't you think?"

If you compare the Qing Dynasty to a company, this company is a sole proprietorship, with all kinds of lessons and rules and regulations learned from the previous bankrupt companies. Yu poached the corner of the company to buy things, and the employees who were reimbursed by the company expressed sympathy and were ready to love each other......

There is a problem with this child's thinking. As the future master of the world, it is good to be kind. Looking at you now, you are too kind.Do you have the consciousness of being the master of the world?

But he is the prince, and someone with great powers persuaded the prince to intercede for them, so he can only say that he has the ability.At this time, Tian Mi could only respond to the prince with a smile, "You are right."

The prince's smile was much more sincere, and he quietly revealed to Tian Mi, "This time Cao, Li, and Sun's family sent a lot of things to the capital. I heard that a treasure sent to the palace today is specially for you, so I won't say so much." Yes, when the time comes, the empress will also take a look."

After the prince said this, he took people outside, and Qingyu stepped forward and asked, "Madam, do you want the servants to inquire who is talking nonsense in front of the prince?"

"Who else can it be?" Tian Mi snorted, and turned to the side hall after watching the prince lead people out of the Qianqing Palace, "The people the prince can rely on include his grandparents, the Hesheli family, and his nurse inside." One family. Forget it, don’t inquire about it. The House of Internal Affairs is supported by only a few officials and officials. The government regards it as its own pocket."

Moreover, she came rushing to pick peaches for the prince. Tian Mi thought that she had been busy for more than half a year, and she hadn't gotten any benefits yet. How could she hand over the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and maybe she would have to fight next year.

Thinking of this, I came to the side hall, ate two pieces of pastry and drank a pot of tea, and played a few games of backgammon with chess pieces and herring.Hearing that Li Dequan came to invite him, he said that Cao's father and son were waiting.

Kangxi had a good impression of the Cao family. The things that their family brought into the palace were placed directly in front of Kangxi without much inspection. Tian Mi sat behind Kangxi behind the twelve red sandalwood screens painted with gold flowers and birds, and heard him boasting about the things he sent. Another boast.

Tian Mi first heard him praise the black bone illuminated fan and illuminated paper, and then he praised the mother-of-pearl lacquer box.I thought to myself, is this a country bumpkin who has never seen the world?Isn't it just fans and lacquer boxes?Is it worthy of your repeated praise?

When the eunuch in front brought in the lacquer boxes, there were a total of twelve pieces, large and small. From the perspective of later generations, each piece was a handicraft. If it were to be auctioned, it might be sold at a high price.

Now Tian Mi's face was in hot pain, and she had a feeling of "I didn't expect the clown to be me".

The lacquer box in front of me is made of mother-of-pearl craftsmanship to look like a flying sky bouncing a pipa. The belt of Feitian is like the wind blowing, which is quite a remnant of Dunhuang murals. It is really a handicraft!

Afterwards, a lot of things were brought in, some of which were either delicate or grand, and many of them were specially for Tian Mi. It could be seen that they were hoping that Tian Mi would treat them more lightly after receiving the things.

Tian Mi was not that strict with the Cao family, except that Kangxi took special care of them, even though this family was inconspicuous before, and they didn't do anything too extreme, and their food looks better.

The next step is to ask them about silkworms in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition to silkworms, their father and son are also in charge of cotton and hemp.

Faced with the basic situation of Tian Mi smelling Jiangnan, the father and son answered everything they asked, and the answers were very detailed.

For example, ask: "What is the population of Suzhou?"

They immediately answered how many tens of thousands, how many scholars, how many workers, and how many merchants.

He asked again: "How many businesses are there in Suzhou? What kind of business makes money?"

The father and son also answered clearly, not only the most profitable business, but also the more profitable ones.

This is not considered a capable minister but also a dry official.

The gifts just now did not make Tian Mi think of letting them go, but because of their father and son's reciprocation, Tian Mi gave birth to a thought of "let the mistakes go, let's work hard in the future, and I will keep an eye on you".

There was no one here, so Tian Mi immediately told her thoughts about Jiangnan Silk Tea. The father and son had been in the officialdom for a long time. After hearing this, she subconsciously looked at Kangxi.

Then he shook his head at Kangxi, but said, "Mother, this is a good thing, but it's not easy to handle."

Cao Xi's statement is: the people in the south of the Yangtze River are tough, and the people don't listen to the government.If this matter is to be successful, the government must come forward, but there are still many survivors of the former Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River. Once they are instigated, the consequences will be disastrous.

Kangxi in front of the screen nodded slightly, and Cao Xi became more courageous, "Your Majesty, you must be cautious in everything. Your Majesty's idea can only be implemented after 30 or [-] years. At that time, the old and young It's all gone, these people are my people from the Qing Dynasty..."

Tian Mi took a few breaths hard behind the screen, all her ambitions were shattered by Cao Xi's rebuttal.

After he had listed all the difficulties and it was dark, Kangxi waved his hand and asked them father and son to kneel down.

Tian Mi immediately stopped them, "Wait a minute, are you two talkative people about today's matter?"

After Kangxi heard this, he turned his head and looked at the screen.Cao's father and son quickly bowed their heads, and Cao Xi expressed his opinion, "I won't remember what happened today, the slave will not remember it after leaving this door, so don't worry, empress."

Kangxi turned and came in after they left, "My cousin told them to shut up because they were worried about leaking the news."

Kangxi was a little surprised to be worried about leaking the news because he still wanted to do this.

"I thought you listened to what their father and son said just now."

"I listened to it, but he reminded me that the government will not do this matter if there is no oil and water. Moreover, if they sincerely do bad things, I am so impulsive, and they will definitely not be able to do it."

I will also be taught by those guys how to be a human being. This is why I hate this society the most. I don't consider the overall situation and only consider my own interests.

Confucius said that there must be loyalty within ten rooms, and now it seems that this sentence is outdated.Everything depends on money, and if there is no money, even the orders of the empress in the palace must be perfunctory.Maybe it also gave them a good excuse to slander themselves.This group of people will be more handy when pushing three obstacles and four obstacles.

Tian Mi realized that she had taken it for granted, and that her steps were too big to cause trouble. It seemed that this matter had to be planned from the beginning.

Anyway, at this time, try to bypass official uniforms and act with private capital. I don't know if there will be any gains.

But no matter what he did, theoretically he was only the manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the real master was the emperor in front of him.

Tian Mi stretched out her hand to hold his hand, "Cousin, let's talk about this matter again."
