Are you stupid?

As the chief servant, Meng Kai has always been very respectable in front of Emperor Taixing.Every time in the past, other officials and servants were beaten, and Meng Kai relieved others in front of Taixing Emperor, but now Meng Kai became the target of Taixing Emperor's surgery.

The officials of the court and the central government only felt that the older the Emperor Taixing was, the more left-tempered he became, and his temper gradually became violent; the servants of the inner palace smelled other smells from the turmoil of "Meng Kai was beaten".

I'm afraid Meng Kai is going to lose his sacred heart, and he won't be able to sit firmly in the position of head servant!

The failure of others is the ladder to their success, maybe Meng Kai can be their stepping stone.

The servants secretly raised eyebrows in the lawsuit, they all wanted to see how Emperor Taixing treated Meng Kai after he was beaten this time.

Emperor Taixing certainly didn't expect that the servants in the palace would have any power to sway, Meng Kai came back to thank him for his punishment, Emperor Taixing just waved his hand impatiently and let Meng Kai go down.

Meng Kai bent over and retreated, stood to the side, even if he was beaten, he didn't dare to leave his post due to the burning pain in his buttocks.

The fight among the servants was even more tragic than that of the court officials.

They have disabilities, and they have no other choice but to fight to the death in this small palace, fighting for a chance to straighten their backs through their master; Those who went down in turn lost their bones.Therefore, even if Meng Kai had a chance to rest after being beaten by Emperor Taixing, he did not dare to leave his position. He would rather endure the pain of flesh and blood than leave now. When he recovers, he will not even have a place to stay. desolate.

Shenlong kept this scene in his eyes, and after putting a high hat on Emperor Taixing's "wise and powerful", he asked Emperor Taixing to write the imperial decree in hand, and left the Yundian.

Shenlong did not take this memorial to show off in front of the officials of the former court, but went directly to the Fengqi Palace of Empress Cui, and seriously discussed with Empress Cui about "the palace maid leaves the palace to the sky". The important influence of favorable location and harmonious people".

"Si Tianjian has been writing letters since the autumn harvest. He asked his father for instructions. There is no snow in winter and no rain in early spring. His son checked the laws and found that he has not let the maids out of the palace for ten years. Sacrificial sacrifices are laborious and expensive. It may not be effective. ——In other words, if it is really invalid, then the emperor will need to come forward and issue an edict of guilt, and waste more money to hold the second or third time, but it may not be effective. Instead of causing so many twists and turns at that time, I I would rather keep the money for holding the sacrifice, and let the maids go out first to see the effect, if the natural disaster still comes, then use the money saved for the sacrifice to relieve the disaster." There is nothing that cannot be said between Shenlong and Empress Cui's mother and son, so he is straightforward Confidentially reveal your plans.

Empress Cui frowned slightly, listened quietly to Shenlong's words, and asked him a few questions, "Since you plan to release the maids out of the palace, how many of the maids are you planning to release? Are you going to release them all at once, or in batches?" Released? Are the maids released based on the number of years they have entered the palace, or do they consider their personal wishes? Are the maids who are about to leave the palace, are their families still safe? Is it safe on the way home? How can I survive after returning home?"

"I plan to start releasing the older palace ladies who are still mobile and fertile. The best are between 25 and [-] years old. These women should also have entered the palace more than ten years ago. Of course, first Ask them if they are willing to go back to their hometown, and if there are family members who prostitute their daughters or are addicted to gambling, rather than letting them go home and suffer, it is better to stay in the palace." Shenlong first explained the most basic principles clearly.

Since his name is for "heavenly harmony", then the court lady is not willing to leave, and he forced her to go back, which only increases resentment and must be avoided.

"As for the character of the family, there are records in the government of the palace where the maid came from. The order is passed down layer by layer, and it will take three to five months to pay off."

"When the maids return home, they can go together. When I issue an order to ask the local officials to thoroughly investigate the family situation of the palace ladies, I will also instruct the post stations along the way to allow the palace ladies to take the official route when they return home, so as to prevent the court ladies from being arrested. Ren Yazi was caught, forced to sign a contract of selling himself and sold to the pit of fire."

After Shenlong finished speaking, he took a look at Empress Cui, took his mother's hand, and said with a smile: "Mother, the vitality of the people is very tenacious. Before they entered the palace, they could survive by their own ability, and returned to their hometown or farmed. , or getting married, or doing a small business to earn a living. I can't control them for the rest of their lives, they have to live on their own."

Empress Cui heard her son's plan, smiled and patted Shenlong's palm, and said with relief: "My son has grown up. He thinks things better than his mother."

"That's not true. The empress mother is just soft-hearted. She feels sorry for the maids who have been away from home for many years, and is afraid that they will have no food and clothing after leaving the palace."

Both the mother and the son are doers, and Empress Cui's authority in the harem is unshakable.From the next day, Empress Cui announced the news that she was going to release the maids out of the palace.

As soon as the news came out, there were frequent situations in the harem.

It has been more than ten years since the Luoyang Palace has released the palace maids, not to mention the expressive condition of "as long as they are palace maids".

For the court ladies, being favored by Emperor Taixing was just an accident. Even when they were young, they had dreamed of pampering the harem, but people will grow up. Now they just want to leave this cold, useless place. The energetic court will never have those unrealistic dreams again.

"Give money to the guards, and ask them to find out how many people can leave this time? Is it just this time, or will we make a rule in the future, and return them to the maids according to the year." A face has begun to decline. The maid excitedly told the people around her that she hurriedly searched for her baggage, and found a lot of fine and fine pieces of silver.

Another court lady patted her and said reproachfully: "You just remembered to inquire about the news? I have inquired and came back. According to what the eunuchs said, it is because the weather outside is not good and the spring plowing lacks rain. Thinking back, we haven’t let the palace ladies out of the palace for more than ten years. Even if we go out this year, we won’t be able to catch up with the good times. If there is another drought or insect plague, and we can’t eat, it’s better to stay in the palace and wait.”

The maid who spoke first sneered, "'Wait a minute'? How dare you think, since you found out that the maid was let out of the palace because of bad angels, then when the day after tomorrow will be better, there will be such a thing again. Is it a good thing? I was only twelve when I entered the palace, and now I am 26. You have to wait, you wait, I must go back this year. Even if those eunuchs took all my money away, I will leave!"

"It's easy for you to say, leave? Who doesn't want to leave! There is no money, you go out of the palace carefully, and then you catch up with the idea, and you will be sold to the deep mountains by your family, where you will have children under the pressure of those old bachelors. The goods are sold for silver envoys."

The one who had been silent all this time couldn't help chiming in, "Yeah, if this kind of thing really happens, then it will be ineffective every day. Besides, it's pretty easy to buy someone to live a good life. If you are caught What can I do if I sell it to the Qinlou Chu Pavilion?"

The maid who spoke first blushed a little, knowing that they were all kind, but she still insisted, "I'm already this age, what's the use of selling me to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion."

"You silly child, even if you entered the palace too early, you have never seen the suffering of the world. There are more than 40 women in the Qinlou Chu Pavilion who have to receive guests as long as they don't die."

The more the maids talked, the more their ambitions shrank at the beginning, and in the end they hugged each other, a little scared to leave the palace.

But time waits for no one, they are afraid, there are always people in other palaces who are willing to take risks.

As Shenlong sent down more specific messages over and over again, the number of palace ladies who signed up and wanted to go home snowballed more and more.

Shenlong is not in a hurry, and this matter cannot be done in a hurry, so he will not let people out at will until the local government reports the current situation of the palace ladies' families.

There was a lot of movement in the inner palace, but almost no one in the court knew the news.

Until Shenlong reported the current family situation of the court ladies to various local officials, Gu Jian, who was the first to learn that the emperor planned to send the lucky women of Taixing Emperor out of the palace, was amazed.

He invited Shenlong to a separate compartment on the pretext that there was a problem with the crown prince's handling of the memorial. He couldn't help asking curiously: "How did His Highness persuade His Majesty to agree to this matter? Your Majesty is a shameless person!"

Shenlong innocently looked at Gu Jian who looked confused, "But Father, I like the present life better."

What is "life now" like?

Every day, there are fresh and brightly colored women. The money from the treasury can be spent by others. Every year, more than one-third of the tax revenue from the treasury is given to him to build his mausoleum, and he is going to continue to enjoy the prosperity and happiness of being an emperor after his death.

Gu Jian's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He seemed to be a little unsteady when he was punched.

——Gu Jian found out that the little prince he had set his sights on knew far more about Emperor Taixing than any of the courtiers.

Gu Jian was the only one who was confused by this, but the other courtiers did not dare to ask what tricks the prince had used. Only Meng Kai, who was neglected by Emperor Taixing recently and found that his subordinates gradually became disobedient, was eager to find a chance for himself to show his face again. , just gritted his teeth and decided to use the prince as a raft.

Meng Kai intentionally served Taixing Emperor with an excuse and left Taixing Emperor's side. When he came back, he knelt down at Taixing Emperor's feet with a pale face, and said in panic: "Your Majesty, I have heard a terrible news."

Emperor Taixing opened his mouth, waiting for his servant to feed food into his mouth, chewing slowly, not very interested.

He casually gave Meng Kai a look, motioning for Meng Kai to continue.

Meng Kai hurriedly said: "His Highness is about to release all the maids whom His Majesty has favored and who have no status!"

"That's it? Shenlong told me a long time ago." Emperor Taixing thought that Meng Kai was going to talk about God, but the result was this kind of extremely boring news.

He patted the buttocks of the nearby palace ladies in a dispirited way, motioned for some fruit, and explained casually for Shenlong, "There are so many women in the palace, and those who are too old to see others, what are they kept for? Isn't it against the peace of heaven?" , It’s really good to send it out of the palace, and it can save me a lot of expenses every month.”

Meng Kai didn't know what to say about Emperor Taixing.

But although his behavior failed to attract Emperor Taixing's interest, Empress Cui was very interested. She wanted to look at the stars and the moon with Meng Kai, and talk about her life ideals.

As soon as Emperor Taixing fell asleep, Meng Kai, who was guarding outside the door, was covered with his mouth and nose, and blatantly sent to Fengqi Palace.

The author has something to say:

Yesterday I announced to everyone that the update can be resumed, but today I regret to share another news.

My father had a myocardial infarction in the middle of the night yesterday and was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. The stent has been completed and he is under observation in the intensive care unit and needs the company of his immediate family at all times.

After my grandfather passed away, my father and I had a heart attack, and my mother was seriously frustrated. As the only child, I depended on me to support everything in the family.

Therefore, until my father's condition stabilizes, I can only maintain the daily watch.

Thank you for your love and understanding.
