The Regent makes me unstoppable [Transmigration Book]

Are you used to it?

Why does this sound so awkward?

But looking at Gu Min's expression, it was downright serious, it didn't look like he was joking or exaggerating at all.Affection.

Shen Ying slandered, maybe it was because of his own thinking.

"Of course I'm used to it, you are the person I trust the most." Shen Yingchao Gu Min smiled nonchalantly, "I have always hired people without suspicion, and doubted people will not be used."

A gentleman doesn't take what others like, since the emperor didn't want to give him the sachet, Gu Min couldn't just ask for it, so he smiled lightly and changed the subject.

"Since the emperor trusts the minister, can the minister ask the emperor how the emperor plans to raise the military salary? Is there anything that the minister can share for the emperor?"

Shen Ying waved her hands indifferently, "No, no, I can handle such a small matter by myself. I know that you are loyal to me, but you really don't have to worry about me."

Just kidding, how could he be so naive as to tell Gu Min his big plan?

So that he can inform Guo Jiuchen?

He's not that stupid.

Seeing that the emperor refused to speak, Gu Min wisely stopped asking.

If it were before today, Gu Min might have felt that the emperor was uttering wild words, but after knowing what the emperor said in the early court today, Gu Min felt that the emperor who can say such bold words should It won't be just for a moment of enthusiasm.

He believed that Shen Ying really had a countermeasure.

Gu Min looked at Shen Ying calmly, could it be that the emperor's previous stupidity was just a disguise by him to paralyze the queen mother and the others?

—

In Shou'an Palace, the Empress Dowager sent Guo Jiuchen to discuss matters.

The Empress Dowager worships the Buddha every day at Xushi, and Guo Jiuchen waits respectfully outside the Buddhist hall, looking through the bead curtain, staring at the silhouette of the Empress Dowager kneeling on the ground reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Half an hour later, the Empress Dowager finished reading the Buddhist scriptures, stood up with the help of her maid, walked out of the Buddhist hall, and sat down in the inner hall. The maids came in orderly to serve tea and water, beat their legs, and squeeze their shoulders. .

The Empress Dowager raised her hand to signal Guo Jiuchen to sit down, and sat on the chair with her eyes slightly closed, "Do you know what Aijia is praying for every day when he prays to Buddha?"

Guo Jiuchen laughed and said, "I don't know."

The queen mother curled her lower lip sadly: "Aijia is not asking for herself, but asking the Bodhisattva not to implicate my son with the sins I committed, and bless my son never to join the emperor's family again in his next life, the most ruthless The emperor's family, the Ai family would rather he be a woodcutter in the mountains in the next life, than live in this imperial city where the sun is never seen, and every day when he opens his eyes, all he thinks about is fighting with people and fighting for life."

The early death of Empress Dowager Liu's son, Emperor Jianming, was a pain that could never be erased in her heart. Women are inherently weak, but mothers are strong. Empress Dowager Liu tried her best to pave the way for her son, and finally pushed her son to the throne of emperor, but Emperor Jianming ascended the throne She died suddenly in less than a year. Empress Dowager Liu didn't believe in gods and Buddhas at first, but later she had to wonder if it was because of her sins that her son was punished, so the originally strong Emperor Jianming lived in such a young age. die young.

Guo Jiuchen sighed and comforted the Empress Dowager, saying: "The Bodhisattva will definitely appreciate the motherly kindness of the Empress Dowager, and bless the Empress Dowager to make her wishes come true."

Empress Dowager Liu closed her eyes, her face looked kind and benevolent, but there was a slight sneer on the corner of her mouth, "But if you want to ask the Ai family whether they regret what they have done? The Ai family will never regret it. If the Ai family does not fight for themselves, That Ai family is now a wisp of ghosts and wild ghosts in the cold palace, how could he possibly have the opportunity to sit on this phoenix seat. This road was walked out step by step with bloody footprints by the Ai family with bare feet on the tip of the knife. If you want to hinder, you must pay the price."

Guo Jiuchen said solemnly: "This old slave is willing to work for the Queen Mother, but I will obey the Queen Mother's order!"

Empress Dowager Liu slowly opened her eyes, "The emperor's temperament is quite different now than before, and recently he has contradicted Ai's family many times. What do you think of this?"

Guo Jiuchen pondered for a moment and said: "It must be that the emperor is getting older and has the idea of ​​being in charge, or someone behind the scenes instigated and incited the emperor to oppose you, the queen mother, so that they can claim credit for the emperor."

Empress Dowager Liu smiled disdainfully, "A group of mobs who try to please the emperor to flatter him, but they must not forget that this emperor was established by the Ai family. If he is disobedient, the Ai family can either establish him or depose him."

Guo Jiuchen: "I don't know what the Queen Mother's plan is?"

Empress Dowager Liu raised her hand and signaled all the maids and eunuchs in the palace to retreat. When she and Guo Jiuchen were the only ones left in the palace, Empress Dowager Liu said, "This time the emperor refused to make peace with the Tatars. It is a good opportunity that we can take advantage of. The emperor is here Aijia boasted in front of Haikou, saying that he could raise all the military pay by himself, so Aijia gave him three days. During these three days, Aijia asked you to monitor all officials and warn them that no one can help the emperor to give advice, and no one can help the emperor. Provide money to the emperor, otherwise, it is against the Ai family. The Ai family wants to see how he can get millions of taels of silver in military pay when he is isolated and helpless!"

Guo Jiuchen: "This old slave will obey Yi's orders!"

"In addition, send people in Beijing to spread the news that the emperor is going to fight Tatars, so that the common people know that the emperor is a bloodthirsty and warlike person. When the three days come, if the emperor can't come up with money, then the emperor will not only The prestige in the hearts of civil and military officials is gone, and the common people will know that their emperor is arrogant, a person who has no faith in his words, an emperor who has lost the hearts of the people, and the Ai family will abolish him. Let's see who dares to say anything .”

Guo Jiuchen looked admiring, "The empress dowager is wise! The old slave will order someone to do it when he returns home, but the old slave wants to ask again, does the empress dowager have a candidate for a new emperor?"

Empress Dowager Liu picked up the teacup next to her hand, lifted the lid of the cup and threw off the tea leaves, "What do you think, King Qi?"

"King Qi?" Guo Jiuchen was stunned for a moment, "King Qi is young and easy to control, but if King Qi ascends the throne, wouldn't it increase the power of Concubine Feng and the Feng family?"

Empress Dowager Liu sneered and said: "Feng's lowly maidservant, when Gaozong was alive, she used her youth and beauty to confuse Gaozong, and never took this noble concubine of the Ai family seriously, even if the Ai family appointed her son as emperor, but She wants to be the Empress Dowager, but it is also delusional! Just leave the mother and keep the son, as for the Feng family, since the death of Old Madam Feng, the descendants of the Feng family have been unworthy, and their power in the court has long since declined, so there is nothing to fear."

Ever since Concubine Feng's conspiracy to make her niece a queen to drug the emperor was uncovered during the Spring Hunt, King Qi was taken to the Empress Dowager's Palace to take care of her.

King Qi was not yet ten years old, and he was pampered and raised by Concubine Feng since he was a child. When he came to Shouan Palace, he would cry and make noise every day. Whenever he saw the Queen Mother, he was like a chick seeing an eagle, and he was in constant panic.

When King Qi came to greet the Queen Mother in the evening, Guo Jiuchen happened to meet him, and found that King Qi’s appearance had changed a lot from what he had seen a few days ago. Silly and stupid, like a lost soul, it doesn't look like a long-lived and blessed appearance.

However, a child is indeed easier to obey and control than the current emperor.

—

The Queen Mother promised to raise the military salary in three days, but there was no movement in Yongle Palace for the first two days.

The emperor was not in a hurry, the king of the county was in a hurry, the king of An County came into the palace every day to pay his respects to Shen Ying, except to report to Shen Ying about the rumors spreading outside the palace, he just lamented that Shen Ying had caused a big disaster this time.

On the third day, Shen Ying suddenly ordered the eunuchs to count all the things in Yongle Palace. As long as they were available, put them in boxes and pack them up, and then counted all the things in the emperor's private treasury. It was finally moved out, and everything was placed in the yard of Yongle Palace. Twenty or thirty large wooden boxes were filled to the brim. When Gu Min came to pay his respects, there was almost no place to set foot.

With great difficulty, Gu Min squeezed into the palace through the gap between the boxes. Looking at the empty Yongle Palace, he was a little puzzled. When he saw Shen Ying just coming out of the bedroom, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, are you here?" do what?"

Shen Ying held in her arms a jade pillow that he usually used for sleeping, and ordered Shuo Yu to put it in a box for him too. When she saw Gu Min coming, she greeted him casually, and said casually: "It's nothing, I just have nothing to do, I want to count Get your belongings."

Gu Min pointed to the "mighty" box outside: "...then why put everything in the box?"

Shen Ying said confidently: "It's convenient for safekeeping."

Gu Min snatched the jade pillow back from Shuo Yu's hand, "Put the pillow in a box for safekeeping? Then how are you going to sleep tonight?"

Shuoyu glanced at the emperor, and couldn't help interjecting, "Gu Shaojun, you don't know, not only the jade pillow, but the emperor asked the servants to put all the brocade quilts into boxes."

Shen Ying waved her hands indifferently, looked at Gu Min with a nonchalant smile and said, "Speaking of sleeping, you reminded me, Junshu, can you let me stay overnight for your Moon Festival?"

Gu Min: "This... of course, the whole palace belongs to you, your majesty, but your majesty, why do you want to empty Yongle Palace?"

Shen Ying shrugged, "I want to fight Mongolia, and the Ministry of Finance said that the treasury is empty and I cry for poverty, so I can only confiscate all my private money and let everyone know my determination to fight Mongolia."

Gu Min was speechless for a moment, he originally thought that the emperor should have some clever plan, but he came up with such a stupid trick in the end?The majestic emperor even evacuated his palace to scrape up this little money. Isn't this a joke for the ministers?

"Your Majesty, please think again, this matter is not appropriate, I am afraid it will be difficult to explain to the Queen Mother..."

Shen Ying interrupted Gu Min, "Hey, stop talking, I've made up my mind!"

Soon, the anecdote that the emperor emptied his bedroom to collect military pay spread to Shou'an Palace. When Empress Dowager Liu found out, she didn't care about her dignity for a while, and sat on a chair laughing.

"Hahaha! The Ai family thought that the emperor had the ability to collect several million taels of military pay, and he ended up like this?" Empress Dowager Liu put her hand on her forehead, shaking her head while laughing, "Ai family said What's the matter? As long as the emperor doesn't have those who help him advise, what good solution can he come up with on his own? He really lost all the face of the royal family! How can such a person be worthy of being a great leader? The king of the country? How can you be the lord of the people?"

Guo Jiuchen also laughed and said: "It's still the queen mother's clever plan. When the emperor can't explain to the ministers tomorrow morning, he will definitely not come down. The queen mother can take the opportunity to bring up the matter of abolishing the emperor."

Empress Dowager Liu smiled and said: "Oh, it's so funny. Aijia can't remember how long it's been since I laughed like this. It's the first time Aijia saw someone digging his own grave like this. When I set him up, I knew he was mud that couldn't support the wall, and sure enough, he really didn't disappoint the Ai family."

—

There were laughter and laughter in the Shou'an Palace, but there were gloomy clouds in Lanyue Zhai.

Wan Zhongquan stood under the eaves of Lanyue Zhai, hugged Fuchen, and stared out in a daze. The emperor's bedroom was gone, and he didn't know how long he would be the chief eunuch.

After Shen Ying came out of the bath, she saw Gu Min dragging a big wooden box out of the room, and asked strangely, "What is this?"

Gu Min straightened up and said: "This is something that the emperor rewarded the minister after he entered the palace. Everything is here. Since the emperor is determined to fight Mongolia, I should go forward and retreat with the emperor. I can keep these external things. It's useless, now give it all back to the emperor."

Shen Ying raised her eyebrows, rolled up her sleeves, bent down to open the box, the inside was full of treasures, the bottom was countless gold and silver, and the top was jade, antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Shen Ying smiled, "I don't even know that I have rewarded you with so many things."

Gu Min said indifferently: "There is also the residence of the Marquis of Linyang outside the palace. If the emperor needs it, he can also take it as a mortgage."

Shen Ying raised her head, the smile on her face disappeared, and her expression suddenly became serious, "These are all the things I rewarded you, you are returning them to me now, do you think I am pitiful?"

Gu Min lowered his head and lowered his eyes, and said respectfully: "I don't mean that, I just think that the emperor may need these things more than I do now."

"Your forgiveness," Shen Ying stretched out her hand to lift Gu Min's chin, looked straight into Gu Min's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "If I am no longer the emperor one day, will you still treat me well?"

Gu Min rolled his Adam's apple up and down neatly, "Yes."

Shen Ying looked at Gu Min's expression, as if thinking about the truth of his words, after a while, he withdrew his hand and said with a calm smile: "Okay, put away everything, since I rewarded you, There is no reason to take it back. Besides, it is not known whether the emperor can continue to do so, maybe in the future, I will rely on you to support me."

Gu Min's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the words, what did the emperor just say?Are you going to support him by yourself in the future?

For some reason, a life of an ordinary couple suddenly appeared in Gu Min's mind. The husband went out to earn money to support the family, and the wife stayed at home to support the husband and raise the children... It seems that such a life is not bad.

Gu Min lowered his head and glanced at the gold and silver treasures in the box, and estimated the value. The emperor is always rich in gold and jade, so raising him is naturally different from that of ordinary people. Everything he eats and uses must be the best. There is only such a box of things. It won't take two or three years.

Gu Min immediately bent down to close and lock the box, and dragged it back, "Since the emperor said so, then I will help the emperor keep this box first, and when the emperor wants it, I will come here to get it."

When Shen Ying heard the movement behind her, she couldn't help turning her head to look at Gu Min, but he saw a smile on Gu Min's face.

No, why does this guy look so happy all of a sudden?

I'm afraid there is something wrong.

Morning the next day.

When all the civil and military officials lined up in the Golden Luan Hall, Shen Ying, the emperor, came late.

After all the officials saluted the emperor, Shen Ying waved his hand, and the young eunuchs came in one by one from outside the Golden Luan Hall carrying wooden boxes in groups of two.

The officials were not surprised when they saw the box, and consciously spread out to both sides, leaving the middle space for the little eunuchs to put the box.

As early as last night, the Empress Dowager released the news that the emperor had emptied the Yongle Palace and wanted to use her private treasury to subsidize the northern Mongolian military pay. By the time of the court this morning, almost all the officials knew about it. .

Some ministers who still had expectations for the emperor could not help secretly shaking their heads and sighing when they saw this situation. Conquering Mongolia is such a serious matter, but the emperor treats it as a child's play. When will there be another wise emperor?

Shen Ying waited until the little eunuchs had brought all the things in, got up from the dragon chair and walked down the stage, opened her arms and raised her voice to all the civil and military officials: "My dear friends, these things are all my own. I will take all of it out today and put it into the national treasury as military pay for conquest of Mongolia, to show my determination to subdue the tribes of Mongolia!"

Guo Jiuchen coughed, and said in a protracted tone, with a sly tone: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry for your offensive words, but with your modesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to support the army to Shanhaiguan."

Those ministers attached to Guo Jiuchen waited for Guo Jiuchen to finish speaking, and purposely sniggered in the crowd, to respond to Guo Jiuchen and embarrass Shen Ying.

"Guo Daban is right. My little money is not enough to fight Mongolia." Shen Ying ignored the sneers from below and said calmly, "As the saying goes, when everyone gathers firewood, the fire is high, and war also pays attention to working together, right? ? Ladies and gentlemen, is there anyone willing to donate some money?"

None of the officials are stupid, even if they are willing to donate money, but by standing up at this time, it is to show their support for the emperor and against the empress dowager, no one wants to be this early bird?

Shen Ying waited for a while, seeing that no one stood up, she pursed her lips regretfully, "Is there no one?"

"Your Majesty, you were the one who said you would solve the problem of military pay by yourself. Why did you ask the ministers to donate money in the end?" Guo Jiuchen chuckled, "If there was no good plan, why bother to boast about it? If the Tatars knew about it , I thought that most of us should be people who like to talk about it."

Shen Ying snorted: "Guo Daban, where did you say that? It's up to you to donate or not, and I didn't force you, so don't donate if you don't donate. Where did you complain? It's like a gossip like a gossip woman."

Guo Jiuchen's face darkened, and he was about to have a seizure when suddenly a eunuch came into the palace to report that it was Princess Changping who was begging to see him outside the palace.

All the ministers secretly wondered, what is a princess doing at this time?

Shen Ying turned around and walked onto the stage, with a sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, she flicked her long sleeves, "Xuan!"

Countless pairs of eyes looked out of the hall, and after a while, Princess Changping in plain clothes came in from outside the hall with her maids, both of whom held a small wooden box in their hands.

When Chang Ping and the maid knelt down to perform the salute, Shen Ying looked at the audience and asked, "Chang Ping, why are you begging to see me at this time?"

Holding the wooden box in both hands, Changping raised it high, and said loudly: "My sister heard that the emperor's brother is going to conquer Mongolia. As a princess, Changping can't lead the army to fight for the emperor's brother. Do your best.”

After Changping finished speaking, he opened the wooden box in his hand. Some officials looked up curiously, and saw that the box contained only a few thin silver bills and a dozen ingots of gold and silver ingots, and some simple and plain things. The pearl hairpin jewelry, you can tell at a glance that it is not worth much.

After reading it, I can't help but feel strange. After all, she is also a princess. How can she have such meager savings?

At this time, Shen Ying pretended to sigh: "Changping, I think I don't pay enough attention to you. I am ashamed of your money. Besides, this little money is just a drop in the bucket for the huge amount of military pay. You still don't care about it." Keep it to yourself."

The officials listened to the emperor's words, and after thinking about it for a while, they understood that the birth mother of Princess Changping was Gaozong's unfavored concubine, and there were rules in the Daying Dynasty. Marriage prevents relatives from taking power, so who would pay attention to a princess who is not favored and has no use value?

The people in the palace are used to praise the high and step down the low, and they need money to open the way for everything. One can imagine how embarrassing the situation in the palace for a concubine girl who doesn't have a deep relationship with the emperor in Changping.

Although Changping is young, he still has the bearing of a princess. He speaks clearly, and his tone is neither humble nor overbearing.

"Your Majesty, as a princess, Changping should indeed take responsibility for the stability of the people of Daying. Changping is not unwilling to go to Mongolia to get married. If Changping is alone, he can change the border for decades. The wolf is ambitious and greedy, and he proposes to marry Princess Daying just to test Daying's bottom line. If I agree to the marriage, it will be tantamount to showing weakness to the Tatars indirectly, and it will only make them push forward. Is it tolerable? What can't be tolerated? Even if Changping dies, he will never let the Tatars' tricks take advantage of him!"

Shen Ying was full of praise: "Well said! You are worthy of being my sister! You can bear it, but you can't bear it! I don't need to be the emperor, and I will never be threatened by the Mongols!"

At this time, the maid beside Changping also paused and said: "Report to the emperor, this servant also has something to say."

Shen Ying waved a big hand: "Sure!"

The maid opened the box in her hand and said: "My Majesty, among the eunuchs and maids in the palace, many of them live in northern Xinjiang. The Mongols are overbearing and tyrannical. They often harass the villages and towns on the border. Many family members died in the At the hands of the Mongols, we all hate the Mongol Tartars. So when we heard that the emperor is going to conquer Mongolia, the slaves and servants pooled up some money and are willing to donate it to the court to fight against Mongolia. I wish the king a triumphant return soon!"

"Okay, okay, okay! Changping, you all get up, I understand your thoughts." Shen Ying stood up, clapped her palms three times, looked at the civil and military officials under the stage and said, "Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of a country." , This is a truth that even women, children, slaves and servants understand, but my courtiers don't. Did the sage books you read only teach you the words "be wise and protect yourself" and "be kind to yourself"? Those who slaughter dogs are all reading, books, and people'!"

All the officials were ashamed when they heard the words, and bowed their heads in shame. An unfavored princess and a group of low-status slaves are not afraid of Mongolia, but they, who stand at the pinnacle of Daying's power, are afraid and hesitate to move forward. It's not as good as they have courage.

How could the officials have imagined that the Princess Changping and the maid would appear in the court, it was all arranged by Shen Ying.

These ministers, who claim to have read the books of the sages and were taught by the sages, are all self-proclaimed to be lofty. To deal with these people, moral kidnapping is the most effective.

"My imperial court refuses to contribute to the conquest of Mongolia. It doesn't matter. I still have the people." Shen Ying sneered, and moved his hand to the side, "Come here, pass on my will. Anyone who is willing to support the military can pay according to The amount donated will be exempted from taxes in the coming year. If any state capital raises more than 50 taels of charity, I can promise that the imperial court will not impose additional taxes on that state capital within the next three years! In addition, if there is an individual donating If you have more than [-] silver, please come to the palace, and I will hold a banquet in Xinglin Garden to treat you personally! Immediately convey the order to the state capitals, and there must be no mistakes!"

If this decree is issued, he may be the first emperor to crowdfund wars, but no matter what, it is better than some dynasties crowdfunding indemnities.

After the emperor's decree was issued, all the officials were sweating. This was like slapping them in the face non-stop. Many people realized that if they didn't stand up, they would have no face to continue to be this official. They didn't know why Whoever starts first, there are endless voices among the officials calling for money donations.

"The minister donated 3000 taels!"

"The minister also donated 3000 taels!"

"The minister donated 500 taels, and asked the emperor to allow the minister to lead troops to go to Mongolia!"

"Your servant also invites you to fight! If you don't beat the Mongolian Tartars into obedience, you will not return to court!"

…………

"Okay, it seems that everyone is still loyal to Da Ying and me." Since everyone offered to donate money, Shen Ying didn't have to be unforgiving, and looked at Guo Jiuchen leisurely with a half-smile Asked, "I wonder how much Guo Daban plans to donate?"

Now that the emperor is the heart of all the ministers, Guo Jiuchen can't let himself down, gritted his teeth, and said with a fake smile: "The minister donates, 1 taels."

"Guo Daban is still generous!" Shen Ying turned her head and hooked her hands in the direction where the officials of the household department were standing. Make it clear for me, and I will take people to collect money from door to door, so that no one will repay the debt."

The author has something to say: to focus, the emperor and the princess acting in the play is a moral kidnapping of all the officials. The officials have no conscience and are forced to donate money.

The author has never been an emperor, he just wrote it for fun, as long as the logic is not dead, don't take it seriously.

The level of writing tactics is limited, accept criticism, and strive for improvement next time.
