Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 171

These ministers have spent a long time trying to use their marriage as a bargaining chip, and even considered their future life. The final goal is very simple, that is, on the wedding day, entertain these people with the wine bestowed by the emperor!

The officials under Jin Meiyu have never been able to integrate into the old official system, and the two sides are now in a state of being in a state of not interfering with each other.

But this is not the solution.

After all, the number of these new officials is too small, and there are no contacts in the court. Many things are inconvenient to do. Begging grandpa to tell grandma to go around may be just doing useless work.

It is impossible for them to just wait for Jin Meiyu to find a way, this time, it is their attempt.

They did not find a way to obtain the family members of these officials, hoping to soften these officials.

They married a merchant girl and issued invitations. Even if there were not many people who came, there would be one or two, and they would be able to gain something!
The imperial wine given by Jin Meiyu is special enough, it tastes great, and there are many kinds, even the picky ones can find the one they like.

These people were able to come, largely because these new officials made a statement during the wedding ceremony that they would be entertained with royal wine.

Officials who can be attracted by this news can basically meet two points.

One is love of wine, and the other is some complaints about the old official system.

After all, not everyone wants to marry a daughter from the Xiao family, and not all young talents are willing to do odd jobs under their husbands, get seniority, or be arranged by their husbands to assist their sons or nephews .

There are quite a few of these people. It is impossible to say that there is no ambition. There are very few men who have stepped into this officialdom who do not love power!
The name of Yujiu gave them a good excuse, plus there are weddings all over the city, and there are a lot of invitations in hand, even if they just come in and drink some wedding wine, that's good too!

No matter who is coming, this group of new officials will warmly entertain them, and they will not say anything else when they meet each other. They just bow their hands and say something festive, and then let people be seated. , People who come should eat and drink, and after eating and drinking, they can just leave.

The bridegroom didn't care too much. After worshiping the heaven and the earth, he came out to drink with everyone and went to the bridal chamber. He didn't seem to have any intention of wooing anyone.

However, in fact, these new officials clearly saw and remembered these visiting officials clearly. In the future, whether it was overtly or secretly, they would have contact with each other. Gradually, the number of officials under Jin Meiyu began to increase. .

Of course, among these defectors, some directly defected, and some were still a little hesitant, and their contact with the new officials was relatively secretive, but they would also help these new officials to do things under cover.

There are also those who are more resolute, as if their stand is very clear, and they are honest with the new officials when they do things.

But in fact, these officials will reveal some important information to these new officials, such as who and who wants to deal with them, what method is used, when, who is there, etc. .

Of course, the requirements of this group of officials are different from those of the previous two types of officials. This group of officials has all been met by Jin Meiyu in person.

The old officials felt that they had the chance to win, and they didn't take Jin Meiyu seriously, thinking that no matter how arrogant she was, she was just a fish on the chopping board.

Unbeknownst to them, there was a fire in their own backyard, and many people had defected openly and secretly.

Moreover, the number of defectors is still increasing. The most frightening thing is that among the defectors, there are military officers!

It has basically become the practice of the Dayu Dynasty that the Guang'an Palace is in charge of military officials.

But just like the civil servants, there are also young people who can't live or die on the military officer's side.

Especially Jin Meiyu's mess up before, made many adjutants moved their minds.

The adjutants of the military attache are different from the civil servants.

The adjutants on the military attache's side are mostly used to advise the general and give credit to the general!

Although the civilian officials are similar, at least the civil officials have face, but the military officials are very naked.

There are too many sons and daughters of military officers who have inherited their father's career, and even some positions have already been firmly controlled by some families. It is extremely difficult for the generals and officers below to be promoted!
Therefore, when the adjutants felt the beauty of power, their hearts, which were already ready to move, became more and more uncontrollable now!
There are more military officers who have surrendered to Jin Meiyu than she expected, although these military officers are all adjutants, or even lower-level generals.

But it doesn't matter, with them, Jin Meiyu can be regarded as reaching out to the military power.

This part of the power Jin Meiyu does not plan to move, at least not yet.

Not only did she not intend to touch them, she was secretly sending resources for them.

As the saying goes, if you have milk, you are a mother.

Sometimes, it is still useful to open the way with money resources.

Jin Meiyu led the group of people under her hands to fight with these officials in the court on the surface, secretly solicited her own power, and spent a lot of money to help the disaster.

Oh, and one more point is that on a certain day, half a year after the little emperor ascended the throne, Jin Meiyu issued an imperial decree, asking the prince's mansion to make preparations to take the concubines back to live and take care of them!
Let's compare it to that.

Originally, according to the system of the Dayu Dynasty, after the death of the first emperor, concubines and concubines in the harem, who had children, no matter what level they were originally, would be canonized above the concubine position, and then sent to the ancestral temple, or directly encircled. somewhere in the palace.

Those who have no children will be sent to the family temple to be shaved and become a monk, and the ancient Buddha will be green for a lifetime.

The family temple is different from the ancestral temple. The ancestral temple is a place to worship the ancestors. There is a large courtyard with many people serving in it. There is no difference between going to the ancestral temple and being a concubine in the palace. There are people serving them, and even during festivals, there will be a troupe of joy to sing and perform, and their lives are even more free and easy than in the palace.

The family temple is just a temple, which enshrines Buddha statues, and there are special nuns in it to look after these people. Ordination and ordination are shaved and ordained monks. No matter how these people have lived in the palace before, they are all the same when they enter the family temple.

Not only will the ancient Buddha be green for a lifetime, there will be no entertainment at all, and he will be disciplined.

After the little emperor came to the throne, Jin Meiyu didn't deal with the concubines in the palace immediately.

The rewards arrived after ascension to the throne, but their whereabouts have not been determined.

Concubines with children would of course want to go to the ancestral temple. Going to the ancestral temple can lead a comfortable life. If they stay in the palace, they can only be confined in a corner. Apart from being served, they are no different from a bird in a cage.

As for those concubines who didn't have children, many of them were terrified. Half a year later, they were still trembling.

After half a year, this guillotine finally came down.

Jin Meiyu asked these empresses in the palace to live in the prince's mansion, of course the ministers below were unwilling, and the written notes came like snowflakes.

Jin Meiyu was not in a hurry, she fell asleep, piled up all these papers, and didn't look at them, and only talked about it with the minister when she went to court the next day.

Jin Meiyu let the ministers speak first.

The views of the ministers are very unified. To put it simply, there is only one sentence, which is inconsistent with reason!
Originally, there was no such precedent in the Dayu Dynasty, and there was no such precedent in the dynasties before the Dayu Dynasty, and the princes are all dead, so what is the matter of taking out the empress in the palace to serve them?

These ministers looked at Jin Meiyu differently today, and some even pointed at Jin Meiyu's nose and said she was not filial!

This is a big crime. In history, some emperors were kicked out because of unfilial piety, and later emperors also took this as a warning. No matter what he thinks, he still dare not spread the reputation of unfilial piety.

The ministers stared at Jin Meiyu, but Jin Meiyu was very calm.

She tidied up her cuffs first, and then sighed in front of the civil and military court, through the bead curtain.

This sigh contained a lot of helplessness, before the ministers could say anything, she spoke.

"You don't want to mention this unfilial remarks. It's really nonsense. The emperor was born by the empress dowager, the son, and the empress dowager followed the emperor. As an empress, I have kept filial piety for her, and I have never had anything to do with the emperor. How can you call it unfilial if you communicate beyond the rules?"

Although it is said that the emperor's harem concubines are more noble, there is still a difference between the empresses in the main palace and the concubines.

Especially since the enthroned is still the queen's son, this position is even more honorable.

Such a noble person, among these concubines in the harem, which one dares to set up the chart of being a mother-in-law?

Having said that, it really made Manchu civil and military do not know what to say.

The emperor's women, without concubines, are all noble concubines.

But it is true that empresses are also divided into superiority and inferiority. After understanding this, these ministers of civil and military affairs did not feel so comfortable in their hearts.

After all, most of the empresses in the harem are related to these ministers, and only a very few are good colors selected from the people.

Although Jin Meiyu didn't laugh at them for sending their daughters and nieces into the palace to 'become concubines', it was hard for these civil and military ministers not to think about it.

Jin Meiyu still had that worried look on her face, as if she didn't feel the discomfort in the courtroom, she still talked on her own.

"I really have no choice but to make such a decision. You also know that the emperor brothers all left early, but they left behind a whole family of sons and concubines. All the imperial brothers were posthumously awarded, and the rewards were not small. But the imperial concubines have less experience after all, and there are many concubines and concubines in the backyard of the family, there are always unexpected ones."

When Jin Meiyu said this, many ministers lowered their heads.

It's not that they were infected by Jin Meiyu's pretentious sorrow, and they also began to worry.

Instead, they thought of a recent incident.

This incident was quite a big one, and it went straight to the palace.

The cause of the incident was that the fifth prince's concubine treated the concubines harshly, and seven of the concubines left by the fifth prince died of illness.

This child is not very old, he only looks like five or six years old, and he doesn't know how he got out, and he can't speak well, so he said he was going to sue!

For such a young child, of course the gatekeepers couldn't just let him in, they had to go in and report to Jin Meiyu.

But when the child refused to let in, he was stopped and sat at the gate of the imperial city crying. The little child cried heartbreakingly, which attracted the attention of many people. Talking about the unkindness of the fifth prince and concubine, the reputation of the fifth prince's concubine's unkindness was finally spread like this.

Jin Meiyu is still talking now.

"Without a man in the family, it will always be difficult for a woman to be the head of the family, especially in a family with many concubines, there will always be problems of one kind or another. The adults also know that the population of the royal family is dying, and the remaining ones are only There are only so many, any missing one will be a loss to the royal family."

The number of royal clans in the Dayu Dynasty has been unable to increase.

From the generation of emperors, Emperor Taizu was taken captive by Queen Taizu and married under pressure. With Queen Taizu's temper, she was not willing to submit to discipline. Emperor Taizu wanted to run away many times, but was always forced Empress Taizu was captured and tied up in the village for several years.

The population of Emperor Taizu’s family is not very prosperous. He is the only son in the family, and the elders of the family have been waiting at home for a long time, but he did not return. Later, after many inquiries, it was found that he did not participate in this year’s scientific examination. Later, he did not know how to inquire. The two elders finally got the news that Emperor Taizu died!

The two elders were so sad that they passed away one after another in less than a year.

There was some money in the family of the second elder, and all the money was divided up by the clan. Later, the Empress Taizu rose up and dragged the Emperor Taizu to rebel. The Emperor Taizu returned to his hometown once, but fell out with the clan for some reason. , and later to the point of being expelled from the family.

At that time, the team drawn up by the Emperor Taizu and the Empress Taizu was not large, at most it could only be regarded as a gang of bandits, and it could not reach the level of rebels.

Later, Empress Taizu led Emperor Taizu to successfully rise up, suppressed other rebels, took down the imperial city in one fell swoop, and became the final winner. Someone once asked Emperor Taizu whether he wanted to take his clansmen to Beijing.

The answer given by Emperor Taizu was beyond the expectations of many people.

After ascending the throne, the Emperor Taizu not only wanted to kill the Empress Taizu, but he was even more indifferent to his own people, clearly stating the fact that he had been expelled from the clan, and he did not intend to cover up this matter at all. He was very free and easy Bachelor.

Of course, the clan of Emperor Taizu is also very strange, there is an emperor in the clan, no matter what discord in the original clan, it must be brought up.

But this group of people behaved very strangely. Not only did they not go to the Emperor Taizu's side, but no matter who said they wanted to make them reconcile with the Emperor Taizu, they shook their heads in a hurry, shrinking even more to cover up.

Therefore, the royal family of the Dayu Dynasty started from the generation of Emperor Taizu.

Emperor Taizu had only one son and one daughter in his life. One of the sons and one daughter became the emperor, and the other married into the Guang'an Palace.

The population of the Guang'an Palace is not large, and marriages with the royal family are frequent.

As for the royal family, although sometimes the population explodes, the final result is the same. Except for those who succeeded and married off, not many survived. The seven vassal kings who were wiped out have already It can be regarded as the longest living seven clans.
