Comprehensive Qing wear good luck

Chapter 119 4 Master's Backyard is involved in the daily life 44

As a woman in the harem, Le Shu caused such a big fuss, which naturally made many "old stubborn people" of the previous dynasty jump up and down.

"I have a starting point."

"Accurate."

“Today, I am risking my life to impeach Concubine Zhengui. As a concubine in the harem, she should have abided by her duties and served His Majesty with peace of mind. However, she relied on His Majesty’s favor and dared to interfere in state affairs. This is a serious taboo!

What's even more hateful is that Concubine Zhengui has no virtues at all and does not have the moral standards that a concubine should have. As a woman in the harem, she openly competes with the people for profit. This is truly intolerable. Such behavior not only goes against the will of heaven, but will also cause dissatisfaction in the court and among the people.

In addition, Concubine Zhengui was also domineering in the harem, monopolizing the emperor's favor, causing discord in the harem. If this continued, it would inevitably lead to palace disputes and conflicts.

Please, Your Majesty, be discerning and consider the interests of the country and the people. Severely punish Concubine Zhengui to rectify the government and restore peace to the harem and the court. Otherwise, I dare to assert that the country will no longer exist! "

The censor spoke for a long time and described Le Shu as a witch who brought disaster to the country.

Yinzhen listened and then asked: "You all oppose Concubine Zhengui organizing a fleet for sea trade?"

Naturally, there were also people who agreed. Even if the people trained by Yinzhen might not agree in their hearts, they still had to agree with it verbally.

Yinzhen held great power, and the censor's impeachment was really unimportant, so he ignored it.

After two months of preparation, the maritime trade fleet officially set out, with the navy and new muskets and cannons leading the way. Since it was the first time, she did not plan to go too far and only wandered around the surrounding coastal countries, but that was not too close.

In the first sea trade, few people trusted Le Shu, but fourth-rank officials were not short of money, and everyone contributed a little to the "activities" organized by the favorite concubine. Some bought a few shares, while others bought a dozen or dozens of shares. Any more than that would be considered as Beijing officials who wanted to take the opportunity to curry favor with Le Shu, the imperial concubine.

Many people think that even if they don’t lose money, they don’t want to be with women.

The so-called "arrogance" of men!

During this period, Yinzhen postponed a beauty pageant, allowing princesses of certain age to marry on their own. However, he did promise that next year's beauty pageant would mainly select wives from royal family members and concubines from the imperial family. If it was not held, something bad would happen.

But if you can push it back for one year, then that’s it.

At the end of November, there was a heavy snowfall in the capital. Le Shu sat in the house, looking at the glass recipe she had just signed out. It seemed that she could reap a new round of wealth.

Glass has actually been around for a long time, but the technology was not yet mature. Le Shu had wanted glass windows for a long time because she hated having to light candles during the day in winter.

Waste is one thing, but it’s mainly bad for the eyes and makes people feel uncomfortable after a long time.

Le Shu had nothing to do, so she took the prescription to the Yangxin Palace. Yinzhen had just received some good news, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly said, "You've come at the right time. I was just about to look for you, but the fleet is back."

Le Shu didn't care about the glass recipe for the moment, her face was full of surprise: "Really! That's great, you're finally back safely."

Although I know that the fleet has considered every aspect carefully and the destination is not particularly far, I still can't help but worry because the weather at sea is beyond our control.

That’s all money!

After being happy, Le Shu took out the glass recipe and said, "Look at this."

Yinzhen took the prescription, looked at it, and a smile flashed in his eyes. It was all money! And glass has many uses.

"I will arrange for someone to make it as soon as possible, and try to let you use the glass windows before the New Year."

He knew how much Le Shu hated dim houses in winter, so the glass really came at a very timely moment.

It’s better to keep the house brighter this winter.

"Come and help me look at the folding paper."

Le Shu, I didn't hesitate and sat next to him and read them. I read two letters and they gave me a headache.

The people working under her were used to her work style, and the account books and documents they submitted were all in accordance with her requirements and preferences. However, these memorials were the result of habits formed over thousands of years, and she was not used to reading them.

The Qing Dynasty memorials were written in vernacular Chinese because the paper-making technology was relatively mature, but she still felt they were long-winded and complicated.

"Only a hundred or so words in a memorial are useful, the rest is just flattery. It's a good thing you read it."

Yinzhen didn't like it either, but he had to change it step by step. He knew too well the consequences of rash actions, so he smiled and said, "I'm used to it."

"Push Punctuation out! Prince Cheng has been sitting on the bench for long enough. He is a capable man after all. Find him something to do!"

Yinzhen nodded: "Punctuation is a good thing. The third brother knows a lot about literati, so it's appropriate for him to do this."

Now that you are receiving a salary as a prince, it's time to get busy.

In early December, the goods traded by the fleet were converted into cash and shipped to the capital, and Le Shu distributed the money before the New Year.

Looking at the money that had increased ten times, and hearing from the imperial concubine that this time the fleet trade was still conservative, these people knew before that sea trade made money quickly, but they didn't expect it to be so fast. Everyone set their sights on the Thirteen Hongs. It seems that there are many things here that they didn't know before!

With money, everything is easy.

During the Chinese New Year, Le Shu appeared at a state banquet and a family dinner, and everyone looked at her with much more enthusiasm.

Since the maritime trade organized by the imperial court has started, there will be countless more after the first one. Making money is not a skill. After all, for people in their position, it is not particularly difficult to make some money.

But it is not easy to make money so quickly, so easily, so safely, and in line with the emperor's expectations.

Le Shu was toasted with wine again and again by the royal family's wife, and when she returned to Yongshou Palace, she was completely drunk.

When Yinzhen came, she had just finished washing up and had a smile on her face.

Yinzhen: "You all go down, I will serve the imperial concubine."

Everyone: "Yes, Your Majesty."

After the palace maid left, Le Shu leaned on Yinzhen's legs and let him wipe her dry hair with a cotton handkerchief.

"Shushu is happy today?"

"Yes, I'm very happy. In the past, those people looked at me like a vixen, thinking that I blocked the bright future of their daughters. Now, they are all humble and submissive. How can I not be happy?"

"It's their fault. They are incompetent and always think of taking shortcuts. Shushu doesn't need to pay attention to them."

"Yeah, don't worry about it. By the way, why did you come to my place?"

Today is the first day of the new year, and logically speaking, even if he doesn't want to go to the Queen's place, he should go to the Yangxin Palace.

"Don't worry about the Queen. She will definitely figure it out."

Le Shu thought about the change in the Ulanara family's attitude towards her and instantly understood.

In Jingren Palace, Ulanara heard that Yinzhen did not avoid people and went directly to Yongshou Palace, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.

"It has finally come to this, Camellia. I won't be the queen for much longer."

Chamei was shocked: "How could it be? The emperor is very strict about rules, it shouldn't be possible!"

"This palace agreed."

Chamei couldn't understand: "My lady?"

"The Ulanara family wants to get involved in Concubine Zhengui's maritime trade fleet next year, but there are not many promising people in the family, and the share is not enough. This position of Queen, which is not very useful, is the only bargaining chip they can use to exchange. After all, money can move people's hearts."

"What about the queen? Is the queen willing?"

Ulanara smiled bitterly: "It doesn't matter whether I am willing or not. The Ulanara family's choice is my choice."

It's true that I feel uncomfortable.

"But the queen did nothing wrong. How can she be deposed if she did nothing wrong?"

"I have done nothing wrong, but the Ulanara family has done something wrong. The Ulanara family is greedy, and it is not difficult for them to ask to be deposed."

As she was talking, she suddenly laughed: "In fact, the emperor still showed mercy."

It is not impossible for the queen to die of illness.

Then she thought of something and smiled bitterly: "I just didn't expect that the emperor was so devoted to Chang. He would rather bear the infamy than let Chang's reputation be tainted by dust. Such deep affection actually belongs to the emperor. Don't you think it's ridiculous?!"

The queen died of illness. No matter what the reason was, Le Shu, the favorite concubine, could not escape the conspiracy theory.

But if the emperor intends to depose the queen, she should ask to be deposed on her own initiative. In exchange for interests, even if the emperor's reputation is blemish, Concubine Zhengui will still be innocent, and people in the future will think that the emperor is deeply in love with her.

As for whether Concubine Zhengui would be said to be seducing the emperor.

If an emperor can create a prosperous era and show his deep love, it will be a beautiful story.
