The Tyrant’s Beloved Empress

After the two dynasties, the Zhao family said that if they were removed, they would be removed. Xiao Zhige's iron-blooded wrists sounded the alarm for the remaining veterans who still had a chance to rely on the old and sell the old and take advantage of the new emperor. +++ Catino Novel Network www.wuxiaspot.com

Although the number of officials in the court was nearly half, but the things that should be done were not delayed at all. These officials, who were lazy under the hands of Emperor Anqing, tightened their skins after witnessing the overthrow of the Zhao family. ) There is less work (gan gan), and this new emperor is not pleasing to the eye, and he will smash it to the end in one sentence.

Xiao Zhige roughly straightened out the messy government affairs, and discussed with Ji Anmin, ordering him to be the chief examiner, to increase the number of Enke candidates as soon as possible, to attract talents, and to make up for the shortage of officials. It took another half a month of work to finally get out of the busy government affairs.

After ascending to the throne, things went one after another, and there were still many things he hadn't had time to do.

The first is the post-closing issue. Since he is the emperor, An Changqing is naturally the queen. His original idea was to call Taichang Temple to prepare for the post-apocalyptic ceremony. His enthronement was hurried, and he didn't like extravagance and waste. The enthronement ceremony (fuck cao) was very low-key and simple. However, he wanted to make it grand and grand.

But when talking to Ji Anmin about opening Enke for officialdom, he suddenly remembered the spirits of An Changqing drinking with his friends. It is a totally different style from usual. If An Changqing is trapped in the deep palace after the post-approval ceremony, there may be no chance to see him so free (tuo).

Xiao Zhige hesitated for a long time, after all, he couldn't bear to raise him in the deep palace for a little selfishness. With caress in his mind, he went to An Changqing to ask his opinion.

Since the canonization ceremony has not yet been completed, An Changqing is still the princess, and she should have lived in the palace first, and then enter the main harem after the official canonization. However, Xiao Zhige has never been a man of etiquette. He was not willing to leave people outside the palace, so despite the persuasion of several pedantic old officials, he insisted on bringing An Changqing and a pair of children into the palace first.

Since Qiwu Palace had not been repaired, An Changqing lived with a pair of children in the main palace (Qiangan), which is the closest to Chongzheng Hall. Xiao Zhige went to the court and went back to (gan gan) the main palace to handle government affairs, occasionally bringing children in his free time, so that the brothers and sisters would not quarrel with An Changqing.

Although An Changqing's name has not been determined during these days in the palace, he is actually taking care of everything in the harem.

The harem concubine of Emperor Anqing has moved to the Spring Mountain Palace. The unlucky concubines are put back home, and the concubines who have been lucky enough to raise their old age in the palace. And the palace people they left behind, those who should (kill sha) should be let go. Those who are talented and unconcerned will be reactivated. It is also necessary to start training a group of new palace people for driving. Although the minutiae have their own minds (fuck cao), the master An Changqing also has to keep his eyes open. In fact, it is not much easier than Xiao Zhige.

Therefore, your majesty, who is decisive and decisive, is now in the court and has to be responsible for bringing the baby.

When Xiao Zhige returned to the palace, An Changqing was discussing with Wang Yu, the newly promoted eunuch, how to cut the staff in the palace and reduce the cost. The Emperor Anqing emptied the treasury during his reign, and Xiao Zhige will ascend to the throne. The treasury is empty, and the natural disasters everywhere are just resting. I don’t know that firewood, rice, oil, and salt are expensive if I’m not in charge. After realizing power, An Changqing clearly realized what it means to be short of money. The money he made in the past was nothing but a drop in the bucket for the devastated Da Ye.

Xiao Zhige thought of ways to increase income in the previous dynasty, and he could only save as much as possible in the harem. The Anqing Emperor's harem was extravagant and staffed, and the accumulated accounts were even more chaotic. An Changqing flipped through a few books and found that they were all bad debts, and the prices recorded in the account books were even more outrageous. He wanted to be embezzled from top to bottom. After a pass (killing sha), he (gan gan) simply abolished the old regulations, cut manpower, and acted in accordance with his newly drafted regulations.

Although Wang Yu was newly promoted, following An Changqing these days, he has become more convinced and dedicated to doing things. It's just that he has no foundation at all, and many things will inevitably be unsuccessful, so he can only ask An Changqing for advice.

"The **** in charge of the Shangshan Division and the aunt in charge of the Weaving Division came to look for slaves and maids again yesterday, saying that the price you set was too low. The imperial offerings used in the palace are inevitably higher."

The worst bad debts are undoubtedly the Shangshan Division and the Weaving Division. These two places are in charge of the food and clothing of the master in the palace, and the oil and water are the most abundant. An Changqing was the first to take these two operations. The bad debts used to be forgotten, but after all the purchases in the future, An Changqing asked Wang Yu to find out the price and set a clear price. As a result, there is less oil and water in the middle.

This rule was set. The **** in charge of the Shangshan Division and the aunt in charge of the Weaving Division went to Wang Yu to complain two or three times. What they meant was that this old rule followed the three dynasties and absolutely couldn’t be wrong. An Changqing made such random changes. Is it broken ancestral rules and so on.

These old fried dough sticks in the palace are accustomed to using accents. Seeing that An Changqing has a good temper and has not been held accountable, they think that he is a soft persimmon and want to continue.

However, although An Changqing is not easy to get angry, it is not a soft persimmon. He calmly said: "Tell me, since they are not competent, please abdicate and let them be virtuous. You will find a few clever little eunuchs to educate them. When they get started, it happens to be in short supply."

Wang Yu respectfully should be.

As soon as Xiao Zhige entered the inner hall, he heard An Changqing's words with anger, and said in a deep voice, "Which one has made you angry again?"

Upon hearing the sound, Wang Yu hurriedly saluted, and when he saw Xiao Zhige wave his hand, he silently retreated to the side and waited.

Xiao Zhige stepped forward. Seeing An Changqing's face (color) a little tired, he rubbed his temples distressedly: "Why are there so many chores in the palace?"

An Changqing leaned back on him, half-closed her eyelids and muttered, "It used to be a mess. We have to use few people, and it’s not easy for the supervisor to supervise the aunt all at once. , Otherwise no one (doing gan) work, we can only deal with it first. It will be fine when our own manpower is cultivated."

Xiao Zhige felt distressed when he heard it, and felt that this palace was really not a good place, and the queen was even more difficult to be a queen. He thought for a while, and said, "Why don't you ask my aunt to enter the palace temporarily (fuck cao) and take care of everything in the harem?"

An Changqing opened her eyes and looked up at him puzzled: "Why did you mention this suddenly? I have to learn how to deal with it, and I can't bother the princess too much."

Xiao Zhige shook his head and said warmly, "I have something to tell you."

Speaking, he took a look at Wang Yu, who was beside Si Li, and Wang Yu consciously stepped back.

"What's the matter?" An Changqing sat up straight.

Xiao Zhige thought about it, before he said, "Do you want to be a queen?"

His question was inexplicable, An Changqing didn't understand the meaning for a while, and opened her eyes wide and said: "What can I do without being a queen? Is it possible that you still want to ask me to move someone else's position?"

The tails of his eyes were raised high, and if Xiao Zhige dared to nod his head, he would have trouble.

"What nonsense." Xiao Zhige helplessly pinched his waist punishingly, and explained: "I mean, if there is a chance to be an official in the imperial examination, or do something else, you are still willing Are you trapped in the palace?"

He said in a deep voice, "You know, if you are a registered queen, you will only be trapped in this harem in the future."

An Changqing was taken aback for a while, her calm eyes gradually filled with waves, and she was a little bit incredulous: "How can you still be an official when I am married to you? Besides, if I am not a queen, wouldn't the courtiers force you to accept it immediately? Concubine..."

He spoke a little incoherently, and he was panicked at first glance.

Xiao Zhige gently rubbed his side face, told him to look at himself, and said, "You don't have to pay attention to those, I will solve them. Just tell me, do you want to stay in the harem or be free? Feel free to do something else, go into business or whatever, whatever you like."

An Changqing looked into his eyes, the man's eyes were solemn and serious, not to coax him.

After a moment of silence, An Changqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, and honestly said: "If I can, I naturally don't want to be trapped in the palace all day."

After the last life, he was trapped in the harem all day long. Except for reading books and making tea, I have never even been out of the palace gate once. No matter how big the palace is, it is just a cage after all, how wide the sky is outside.

"I think so too." Xiao Zhige laughed: "Here you are so capable (gan gan), shouldn't be trapped in the harem for me."

An Changqing didn't know what he was going to do, and was a little worried, so she could only say with a straight face: "That's what you say, but if you dare to give this position to someone else, even if it's just acting, I won't be back."

"Hey, don't worry..." Xiao Zhige pressed his neck against him, and bit his lips: "Just believe me, when did I lie to you?"

An Changqing thought about it seriously, and muttered, "You lied to me more than once."

"..." Xiao Zhige was choked and was speechless. He coughed lightly and remedied: "I will never lie to you this time, you just wait."

***

Xiao Zhige consulted him, but did not tell An Changqing what to do afterwards. Just took him to the Grand Princess' Mansion.

Xiao Youxi is now the eldest princess, and Cai Cong sent troops to help when he was in a hurry. Xiao Zhige expressed his gratitude to the two people's kindness, and greatly rewarded the eldest princess and the Cai family. It's just like Li Bi's death is always in Xiao Zhige's heart, so Queen Mother Zhao's death can't be eliminated in a short time.

After the death of Queen Mother Zhao, Xiao Zhige still buried her and the first emperor in the imperial mausoleum for the face of the princess. As a daughter, Xiao Youxi is still sad even if she knows that the Queen Mother has done a lot of mistakes over the years. After that, she became more and more solitary, but it was comfort that the cohort used to visit her in those days.

This is the second time Xiao Zhige has gone to see the princess since the death of the Queen Mother.

The outcome of the Empress Dowager Zhao and the Zhao family is an established thing. He will never leave a disaster for the future, but facing the princess, he will inevitably feel guilty. He had a grudge against the eldest princess because of the death of his mother and concubine, and now the queen mother is dead in his hands. Therefore, after the empress dowager Zhao was buried, Xiao Zhige once went to the Royal Princess' Mansion alone.

He said at the time: "The death of the mother and concubine had nothing to do with the eldest princess. It was my selfish anger and reluctance to forgive. Now it is for my selfishness that the queen mother and the Zhao family have to get rid of. If the eldest princess hates me, I can take revenge. I wish to receive the sword from the eldest princess and hope that the eldest princess can dispel her hatred.

The death of Emperor Anqing made him understand many things, and gradually became relieved of Libi's death, so he became more able to understand Xiao Youxi's situation over the years. Once the grievances disappeared, all that was left was guilt. The royal bloodline had already withered, and now his blood relative was only the Grand Princess. He hoped to do his best to resolve the resentment between the two, at least, to let all the past resentment and hatred end here and no longer continue.

But Xiao Youxi did not pick up the sword he handed over. She is fashionable and dressed in filial obedience. There is sadness (color) between her brows, but her expression is very peaceful. She said to Xiao Zhi: "The queen has done so many wrong things, and I can't stop it. Now she pays the price for it, and I also There will be no resentment for this. The change of the throne will inevitably shed blood and sacrifice. I only hope that you will be able to untie the knot in the future, be a Mingjun, and not be the queen of your father. If you want, you can call me aunt in the future."

Even An Changqing didn't know about the conversation in the Grand Princess' Mansion that day, but after Xiao Zhige returned, he handed Ye Jing's patrol to Cai Cong.

The knot in the past has been untied, and the relationship between the eldest princess and the elder horse has also eased. When Xiao Zhige and An Changqing arrived, Cai Cong was still drinking tea with the princess. Xiao Zhige didn't bring too many people, and didn't let the pass pass, and entered the princess mansion in a low-key manner.

Xiao Youxi and Cai Cong came out to meet each other, their faces (colors) were already much more rosy than when they met last time.

Xiao Zhige and An Changqing first called "Auntie", then they caught a glimpse of Cai Cong next to them, and then called "Uncle" again.

Cai Cong looked very happy, smiling so hard that he couldn't see the teeth. Xiao Youxi squinted at him, did not say anything, and asked the two of them in a gentle tone to speak.

The maid served tea, and Xiao Zhige greeted a few words before explaining his intentions.

"Please enter the palace (fuck cao) to hold the harem?" Xiao Youxi looked surprised.

"Yes, I have other arrangements for Changqing's canonization, and I don't plan to let him stay in the harem." Xiao Zhige said: "There is no queen queen in the palace right now, and the only person with the right status is the aunt. So I want to invite my aunt into the palace. Temporarily (fuck cao) everything in the harem."

Xiao Youxi did not refuse, but asked, "What does Changqing mean by other arrangements? I thought you would be eager to make him a queen. I also thought that the class of veterans might cry and hang themselves again."

Xiao Zhige gave a low laugh, and looked sideways at An Changqing and said in a warm voice: "After the seal, I will seal it naturally, but not now. I plan to discuss merits and rewards first, and Feng Changqing will be the king of the word side by side."

One word side by side the king, the same respect as the king, above ten thousand people, no longer need to be bound by the rules of the deep palace.

The author has something to say:

Counseling: After you are not sealed, you will be crowned king, those old people must have never thought of it (proud
