After crossing, I was dragged by the bamboo horse and became a queen

Chapter 767 Very common method

"Don't brag, you old man." Shangguan Jing bragged with his hips on his hips without any image: "It's obvious that I am very smart."

Seeing Shangguan Jing's exaggerated expression, all the officials in the Chongzheng Palace laughed, and the atmosphere suddenly became more relaxed. Even Shangguan Mu Yun, who was still frowning before, also smiled.

"Third brother, it's too early to worry about it now." Shangguanjing smiled and said after seeing him relax, "The state capitals haven't moved yet! Third brother, just wait and see. If those courtiers who are eager to close the net see Our East Palace is so powerful, I’m afraid we can’t help but continue to add firewood to the fire. Just wait and see, soon there will be protest memorials from various state capitals, and they will be organized. They will not only accuse my daughter Ji Sichen will also accuse the prince of being a libertine and lustful, spoiling his wife too much."

"Then we have to make preparations early." He Lingjun's expression froze immediately: "We must not let these people take the opportunity to make waves."

It is right to prepare early, so Chen Chengxiang and Master Su want to wait for Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng to back down because of the pressure of rumors, which is absolutely impossible.

The East Palace will only hold emergency meetings to make plans to deal with the coming crisis.

"Today, my grandfather invited some of the prime minister's generals from Beijing to our home for a banquet." Chen Qiyu added, "It is also necessary to prevent some people from jumping over the wall in a hurry. I suggest that the empress immediately send another expedited meal to Sixing of Xizhen. The secret decree, let him speed up the gathering of military power in the western frontier, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

"The northern army is in the hands of the Ye family, and the western side is progressing smoothly according to Mr. Lin's urgent secret plan a few days ago." After thinking for a while, Xiao Jingheng replied: "Therefore, if the military wants to make trouble, it is most likely to attack In the name of the Qing Emperor, call for a change in the Jinwu Guard or the Gyeonggi garrison."

He Lingyao's husband, Ye Hanxing, went to the west border with Lin Sixing, so the representative of the Ye family who came to the East Palace for a meeting today was Ye Hanxing's father, General Ye Chengliang, the deputy commander in front of the palace.

After Xiao Jingheng spoke, everyone in Chongzheng Hall stared at Ye Chengliang, waiting for him to speak.

"If it's in Beijing, I don't think they have that much influence." Ye Chengliang thought for a long time before opening his mouth very cautiously: "First of all, although there are many generals from families in Beijing, they can be regarded as powerful soldiers in Beijing. There are only a few of them, and most of the military power of the Jinwu Guard is in front of the palace, commanding Mr. Zhao, and I am mainly in charge of the right guard. The Minister of the Ministry of War is a member of Taiwei Lin, and the entire Ministry of War is firmly controlled in our East Palace. In their hands, it is naturally impossible for them to get the soldier talisman. Therefore, if Mr. Zhao does not move, there are not many soldiers and horses they can mobilize in Beijing."

"Part of the Longwu Army, the Shence Army, and the Habayashi Army are stationed inside the city, but the camps of these three armies are all outside the city. If they want to mobilize all of them, they must pass through the city gate guarded by the right guard. How could I let people in casually? When they set off, they got the military talisman of the Ministry of War. But if Mr. Zhao moves, it will be a little troublesome."

"Master Zhao, without Father's order, shouldn't act rashly." Xiao Jingheng said this very firmly.

"Since His Royal Highness has grasped this, what we need to pay attention to is the garrison camp stationed near the imperial city." Ye Chengliang replied: "The total number of Longwu Army, Shence Army, and Habayashi Army stationed in the city is 2000. Left and right, the number of people is of course far worse than that of the Jinwu Guard, but their camps are on both sides of the imperial city, and their positions are important, especially the inner camp of the Zuo Yulin Army, which is almost close to the East Neiyuan, separated by two palace walls It is the Eastern Palace. Therefore, it must not be ignored."

"It makes sense." He Lingjun nodded: "Master Zhao will not act rashly, which also means that if something happens on our side, Master Zhao will probably choose to stand by and watch. So we should be fully prepared to deal with it."

"That's why we set up the training camp of the 'Guard of Honor' near Dongneiyuan." Shangguan Jing smiled: "I discussed with Master Wei yesterday about the remonstrance, and he is very fond of our 'Guard of Honor'. Be confident!"

"I actually think that if they leave the way of military remonstrance, we will save trouble." He Lingjun continued: "Just suppress it directly, no matter what excuses he has, since he has resorted to violence in Beijing, don't blame us for giving it to him." They charged them with treason. I'm afraid they won't move!"

"That's true." Shangguan nodded quietly: "I'm afraid that they will be too calm, just like this day after day, disturbing people's hearts. But no matter what, these are all false, the people's livelihood is the country and the country. Fundamentally, the common people can eat enough, clothe themselves warmly, and have extra money in their hands, so they don’t care who is running the country! If the aristocratic family wants to form a group and make trouble, they must have a foundation of public opinion, right?”

"Yes." Shangguan Mu Yun smiled and nodded.

"Therefore," Shangguan Jing turned her head and stared at Chen Qiyu: "Strike while the iron is hot, and tomorrow your official department will quickly announce the latest officials' performance appraisal standards. All the common people know that from now on, our Great Zhou court will not leave any redundant staff, if you refuse to do things down-to-earth, even if you get the first prize in the imperial examination, it will be useless, and you will still have to be demoted and go home to eat yourself."

"Yes!" Chen Qiyu nodded.

"Also, there is a lot of rain in Lingnan this year, and there are problems with the dredging project. We have to make preparations for disaster relief in advance." Shangguanjing continued: "It is always good to plan ahead."

"Let the state governments issue this as soon as possible." Xiao Jingheng also took out an imperial decree that had already been sealed: "The decree to reward agriculture and mulberry must be issued to every county and township in Dazhou. Encourage all regions to report the means of increasing production, Whether it is farming techniques or improvement of agricultural tools, as long as it is related to the increase in production, it can be reported, and if the court verifies that it has indeed contributed to the increase in production, it will be rewarded."

"It's better to exempt [-]% of the Lingnan tax this year." Lu Shangshu suggested: "This year's Lingnan harvest season is cloudy and rainy, which will have a great impact on the grain storage. And the tax reduction is the most immediate benefit. It is for the people's hearts. , is still very important.”

Lu Shangshu's words were very cryptic. Although the Eastern Palace decree is beneficial to people's livelihood, it is a long-term benefit and does not have an immediate effect. Therefore, it is better to use some straightforward means to invite people's hearts.

Shangguan Jing nodded in agreement after a little thought.

In the early morning of the next day, Shangguanjing and Xiao Jingheng appeared together in the court hall again. This was the third consecutive day that the Crown Princess went to court.

Today's morning is still very busy. His Royal Highness and the Crown Princess announced four or five decrees in succession, and the purpose of these decrees is very clear, full of a taste of inviting people's hearts.

　---Here is the dividing line that invites people to buy ---
　　The methods used by Jingjing and Hengheng are not new at all, they are very vulgar.

　　At present, everyone is in the stage of revealing cards. You play one card and I play one card. The cards in your hand are fixed. There is nothing unusual. It depends on who has more strategic determination.
