Empress work daily

Chapter 15 Chambers
When Ji Qiang returned to Yangyuan Hall, the east was already pale.

Outside the hall, Huang Chang knelt straight on the porch without moving.Inside the hall, Shang Liujia and others waited on him carefully, not daring to vent his breath.

Ji Qiang had finished washing, and sat on the couch by the window. There was a small case on the couch, and a cup of clear tea was placed on the case, and steam was bubbling from the cup.

At this moment, she is dressed in plain robes, with long hair draped over her body, like black satin like a waterfall.Every part of the beautiful back is tranquil and serene, but Shang Liujia and others who grew up with her know very well that how calm His Majesty looks on the outside is how uneven the heart is.

Lu Yi brought a bowl of ginger soup, but Ji Qiang waved his hand without even looking at it.If it was normal, Lv Yi would definitely try to persuade her, but this time, she took Jiang Tang away without any hesitation.

Seeing that it was daybreak, Shang Liujia was very worried about Ji Qiang's body, and mustered up his courage to go up to persuade him: "Your Majesty, let's rest."

The withdrawn thoughts were interrupted, Ji Qiang stared at Shang Liujia, and said abruptly: "There are plants, trees, pavilions and pavilions everywhere in the imperial garden. Once there is a fire, it will be an immeasurable loss. You should not be careful. , but make it brightly lit all night, what's the point?"

Lanterns in the imperial garden?

After being slightly stunned, Shang Liujia quickly explained the reason, "Your Majesty, these are the rules of the late emperor, not to mention that those candle lamps are covered by glass lampshades and stone lampshades, it will not be easy..." Just now, But seeing Ji Qiang throwing a cold look, Shang Liujia immediately turned gorgeously, "Although I won't go off easily, but I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. It's because I didn't think carefully. Don't worry, Your Majesty. Order people to pick off those lanterns and grass lanterns."

Luyi and Linglu stared wide-eyed, looking at Shang Liujia in disbelief, with a hint of admiration in their eyes.

"That's not necessary." Ji Qiang's voice softened a lot, "Just put away the candlelight and lamp oil."

"According to the order!"

"Call Huang Chang in."

Upon hearing the news, Ling Lu ran out quickly, and after a while, led the silently bowed Huang Chang into the door.

"Do you know what's wrong?"

Huang Chang immediately knelt down and said, "I am Your Majesty's Great Protector. I only obey Your Majesty in this life, even if the person who gave the order is a national teacher."

"You still remember." Ji Qiang glanced around and asked others, "Do you still remember who you are?"

The other three swore their loyalty together.

Green clothes: "The minister is His Majesty's chief steward."

Shang Liujia: "I am your majesty's clairvoyance."

Linglu: "The minister is His Majesty's ear."

"You all remember, that's good." Ji Qiang slowly got down on the bed and helped Huang Chang, "You and I were playmates when we were young, and now we are monarchs and ministers. In this world, anyone can blame me and betray me, but you can't wait." .Don’t let our past become a joke.”

The hearts of all four were shocked, and the two female officials almost covered their faces and wept.

Ji Qiang suddenly changed a cold face, and asked them how many eyeliners they had removed in the past few days, and how many palace affairs they had sorted out. Fleeing.

……

It's early morning again.

The ministers continued to discuss the issues that had not been settled last time. Surprisingly, when Song Gantang presented the plan for the demolition of the side hall of the Wanfu Palace and the repair plan for Fangying Terrace, no one objected.

Ji Qiang took a special look at the team of generals, all in an attitude of "nothing to do with yourself".

The plan was successfully passed without any delay.

As soon as Song Gantang returned to the army, Yin Qilei, the censor, raised his voice and shouted, "Your Majesty has the answer! In the past three days, the seventh head of the Yulin Guard, Chu Lingxiao, Prince of Wuling County, has not returned to the barracks all night, and I hope His Majesty will order a thorough investigation."

Everything can't escape Yin Qilei's "Eagle Eyes", even if no one deliberately leaked it to him, he must have a way to find out the news.

Ji Qiang was very curious about what Zhao Gan, the commander of the Yulin Guard, would say. At this time, Zhao Gan had already stepped out, and said meaningfully: "Three days ago, His Majesty visited the Yulin Guard in person and took the King of Wuling away."

When these words fell to the ground, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Ji Qiang could even hear some people whispering, "Your Majesty actually brought the Prince of Wuling back to the harem secretly? This, this..."

"Isn't Your Majesty only 14 years old this year?"

"Shh, be quiet."

"..."

Ji Qiang was not surprised by the reaction of the ministers. Her mother made an absurd precedent in the matter of "men". As the saying goes, like a mother, like a daughter, they thought she had ulterior motives and was considered a human being. common sense.

Jiang Jian coughed lightly, and all the officials immediately fell silent.

Ji Qiang firmly believed that this was the aura a king should have.

The court was solemn again, and she slowly explained to the ministers, "The relatives don't move around very much, they are all unfamiliar. I haven't seen Marquis Wu An for some time, how is he okay now?"

Zhao Gan obviously didn't expect this sudden greeting, and while he was flattered, his momentum was weakened involuntarily, "Father is well, thank you for your concern."

"Well." Ji Qiang nodded, and continued to play the homely tune, "Speaking carefully, there are not many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty who are not my relatives. I can still see you because of the early court, and I will use it For this reason, you can still announce your parents and grandparents to come to the palace and exchange some pleasantries. However, my only elder brother, the King of Wuling County, has been far away in Wu for more than ten years... After all, we are blood relatives, even though we are the first The first time we met, we had a very happy conversation, and all the fathers were overjoyed to see him, so they let him stay in Shou'an Palace for a few days."

It turned out to be the case, all the ministers suddenly realized.

Yin Qilei got a satisfactory answer, and returned to the team with a lot of thunder and little rain.

However, Ji Qiang is not finished, since the topic has already been opened, how can she let it go easily.

"I want to build a unicorn guard to protect my daily safety, and I appointed the king of Wuling County as the head of the guard. I don't know what you think?"

All the ministers looked at me and I looked at you, all of them were too shocked to speak.An elderly man glanced up and down in displeasure, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, this girl has been doing a lot of new things since she came to the throne, she is moving, demolishing the palace, and now she is going to rebuild again Qin Wei, tsk tsk... This tossing is more fierce than her mother.

The point is, this girl is only fourteen!

It was about the king's personal guard army, and because of emotion and reason, the first person to speak to him should be Commander Habayashi.

However, Zhao Gan just received a few greetings from Ji Qiang, and now he can no longer raise his aura.

"I think it seems inappropriate."

"The twelve guards of the Yulin, all of them are His Majesty's personal guards. Why does His Majesty build another one, Qilin Guard?"

Ji Qiang could probably imagine that when Zhao Gan said these words, her sarcasm flashed in his mind, otherwise, he would never be so guilty.

After Zhao Gan made his statement, Zheng Nanmu, the commander of the Wucheng Army and Horse Commander, immediately joined him, full of air, "It's definitely not right! Today, the treasury is empty, and the military expenses and food and salaries of all armies and battalions are increasingly in short supply. There is no place to ask for the allowances for officials to cool off in the hot summer, and I think that your majesty should try to reduce the number of troops instead of building more."

Under the leadership of Zheng Nanmu, the military generals sprung up like mushrooms after the rain and cried poor, and the court was "miserable".

In the armhole, Ji Qiang clenched her arms with both hands, her face remained calm, her eyes swept down calmly, just in time to meet Tang Chongjian, the old man immediately shuddered, blowing his beard and staring, as if to say, Don't look at me, I have no money!
Ji Qiang almost couldn't hold back his grin.

During the commotion, Ji Hua suddenly let out a "light cough", and the "crying" of the generals stopped abruptly.

Ji Hua began to solemnly read the first book of memorials, "Show Your Majesty, the months-long rectification and mobilization of the Xuanjia Camp have all ended yesterday. Among them, veterans over the age of 45, as well as those who are disabled, sick, or have relapsed old diseases Disarmament is allowed to return to the fields, but it's just the money... not to mention the money, the last three months of the military pay of these veterans have not yet been paid..."

Ji Hua will present the rectification and mobilization playbook, along with a list of veterans who are about to be disarmed and return to the field.

Also a debt collection list.

It is an arrogant challenge book!
