Blessed little peasant girl

Chapter 172
The members of the royal clan are withered, but to say how much the royal family loves and protects the clan, this is really not enough!

The royal family of the Dayu Dynasty was different from the royal families of other dynasties. The emperors of the Dayu Dynasty seemed to have feuds with their relatives.

Even if he was originally a brother, after his son ascended the throne, he would try his best to kill his uncles.

From a certain point of view, the emperor of the Dayu Dynasty can be regarded as extremely ruthless.

However, these words were spoken by Jin Meiyu, she is the empress, not the emperor, so it seems reasonable to be able to say such words.

It was these elders who couldn't help but slander in their hearts after hearing this.

The bosses continued to refute dryly, but Jin Meiyu made up her mind.

"The imperial brothers went early, but there are still underage children in their families. Those who can stand up and establish a household say they don't care, but if these children are freed, I don't worry about it, and the emperor certainly won't worry about it. Yes. Let the old concubines go out to live in the palace, firstly, it can deter Xiaoxiao and save the widows and sisters-in-law from any grievances, and secondly, with the old concubine in charge, their orphans and widows can also rely on them."

From this point of view, it seems to be okay.

Some ministers were a little shaken in their hearts, Jin Meiyu urgently needed to take advantage of the victory and pursue her, so she continued.

"Bosses, don't worry. Although the old concubines have left the palace, all the expenses will still be paid from the palace. Each concubine will also send an extra team of eunuchs and maids to serve them. The treatment will definitely not be worse than in the palace. The old concubines have served the late emperor all their lives, and it is time to enjoy the family happiness with their children and grandchildren around their knees, staying in this cold palace, it is not good for the old concubine's health."

What I said, there were people impeaching Jin Meiyu for being unfilial before, but Jin Meiyu turned a corner and gave Yuan the words.

Look, the old concubine was sent out of the palace, not because she was unfilial, but because she was very filial.

The former emperor has gone, and the old concubines stayed in the palace. No matter how filial and considerate she is, can she be as happy as her own children and grandchildren?

That must be impossible.

Therefore, Jin Meiyu let the old concubines out of the palace, on the one hand, to better take care of the prince's widow and children, and on the other hand, to show great filial piety to the old concubines.

Jin Meiyu's words seemed to be repeating, although compared with the queen mother, these concubines and concubines are nothing, as a queen, it doesn't matter whether she respects them or not.

But she is still willing to think about them, letting them go back to reunite with their families is her greatest filial piety to these ladies.

Hearing this, many old ministers have already shut up, but there are still some old ministers who still insist that this is unreasonable and there is no precedent!
However, Jin Meiyu spoke frankly to these old ministers who still persisted.

"People are not sages, they all have joys and angers. The concubines and wives are not young. To put it bluntly, how long can the wives live. Although this matter is unreasonable, people are alive and rules are dead. The death of the princes has already made the ladies very sad. Now that the former emperor is gone, the ladies must be suffering and depressed. It is better to let the ladies urgently need to be depressed and finally end up in depression. Let the ladies live in the Prince's Mansion, this way, it can also make the ladies a little more lively, and worry about their grandchildren, after a long time, they will definitely open up their minds and live longer."

Jin Meiyu dared to say anything, but Jin Meiyu's remarks sounded particularly appropriate.

You can say that Jin Meiyu has no rules in doing things like this, but you really can't say that she has no filial piety.

In this world where filial piety comes first, Jin Meiyu's words can be considered righteous.

Moreover, if it is true, this so-called rule is just a well-known rule. There is really no emperor who specifically decreed that after his death, ladies are not allowed to spend time with their sons, grandsons and wives!
The old ministers hesitated, and Jin Meiyu took advantage of the victory to pursue her at this time, and sighed, as if saying something.

"The first emperor was kind, he was a wise king, and he treated his concubines and concubines equally. He also loved his own children very much. The first emperor was very saddened by the deaths of the princes. As a father, he must not Don't worry about the family affairs after the sons leave, if the late emperor knew about it, he would definitely be willing to let the ladies go out of the palace. After all, the ladies are the prince's own mothers, and the father passed away unfortunately, only the mother can treat each other sincerely."

Jin Meiyu praised the late emperor's words, and the old ministers were completely unmoved by the words.

Regarding Jin Meiyu's words that the former emperor loved the princes very much, the old ministers seemed to agree and remained silent.

When Jin Meiyu said that her father passed away unfortunately and only her mother could treat each other sincerely, the old ministers were somewhat shaken.

Jin Meiyu's usual words and deeds are not like a educated person who has read books. She usually speaks and does things too bluntly, not as smooth as the old ministers, nor like the emperors of past dynasties. Thanks to scheming.

But sometimes, what Jin Meiyu said would reveal a simple truth, and she could always convince the old ministers when they were caught off guard.

Just like now, after these old ministers hesitated for a while, they finally nodded.

Indeed, if this were placed in an ordinary family, the mother would become the support of the children after the father died.

Now the situation in the Prince's Mansion is even more special. Not only is the former emperor dead, but the princes are all dead too. Can't mess it up!

The ministers were briefly spared by Jin Meiyu, so they stopped talking for a while. Jin Meiyu glanced around, and then nodded to the chief eunuch who was serving beside her. The eunuch stood up and read out Jin Meiyu had prepared the imperial decree long ago.

The imperial decree to let the concubines out of the palace has been issued before, and what I am reading now is the treatment of the concubines.

The imperial decree was a bit long, and the eunuch in charge read it a bit slowly, allowing all the ministers to listen to it.

To sum it up simply.

After the old concubines go out of the palace, they will spend eight festivals a year on their clothes, prepare gifts for the ladies' birthdays, and all the things in the palace can be taken away by the girls, and the clothes will still be according to the specifications in the palace. The number of maids and eunuchs to be served is also gradually increased according to their grades. The palace will even provide guards for the ladies in the palace. They are all royal guards, and their hands are guaranteed.

In addition to these, the royal family will also give the ladies a sum of silver for the family when they go out of the palace, which will be distributed according to their grades, with a maximum of 10 taels of silver and a minimum of [-].

Even if the money is placed in the capital, the best family is the bottom of the box for the most beloved girl to marry.

What's more, these are all things that are used to in the palace that are to be taken away, and the pure profit of these ladies' private possessions!
It has to be said that Jin Meiyu is definitely generous, and at the same time, she is using the last money given, so that everyone in the world can see Jin Meiyu's attitude. ,
What she said before is not a scene, just talk.

She gave these girls real gold and silver. She really felt that girls were better in the prince's mansion outside the palace than in the palace. She really wanted the girls to live comfortably, and wanted them to live longer. Centenary!
Such reassurance has reassured the wives and wives who had some criticisms at first.

They were relieved, but officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites stepped forward at this time.

The Ministry of Rites stood up and just asked about the minutiae of Empress Jin Meiyu after leaving the palace, so there was nothing to say, after Jin Meiyu set a general direction, the Ministry of Rites would figure it out by itself.

When it comes to the household department, the questions are more straightforward.

How do you calculate the women's family money and future expenses?
The officials of the household department are all old officials. Jin Meiyu can catch these old ministers by surprise and put people in the official department, but the household department is still dominated by these old ministers.

Jin Meiyu was not in a hurry to deal with the household affairs department either. After all, the Great Yu Dynasty suffered a severe deficit. In order to keep the throne, the former emperor spared no effort in spending money on disaster relief, almost emptying out his family's wealth in doing things.

Later Dayu, even if he survived the disaster year, there were problems with the operation of the court. If Jin Meiyu hadn't spared no effort to spend money on Dayu Dynasty's leaky ship, the ship would have survived the disaster year. It is also very likely that it will fall on some follow-up issues.

However, even with Jin Meiyu's support, the huge ship was still moving slowly, but the foundation was indeed injured, at least on the household department's side, there was no way to recover without a few years of self-cultivation.

Now Dayu Dynasty spends all her money, Jin Meiyu can spend so much money to support Dayu Dynasty at one go, of course she will not stab the household department at this juncture, so Jin Meiyu answered smoothly This is a question from the Ministry of Finance.

"These money comes from the palace and the emperor, it can be regarded as some of our wishes as juniors."

With Jin Meiyu's words, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty felt relieved.

They who were full of disapproval originally calmed down after going down to court, at least they were calm before leaving the court.

Jin Meiyu is also striking while the iron is hot. Before the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty have come, Jin Meiyu has notified the harem to get the empress ready to move out of the harem within three days.

She is ready for the manpower and so on.

These eunuchs and court ladies were all carefully selected by Jin Meiyu after she ascended the throne.

The servants in the palace have no problem with their appearance, they are also very clever in speaking and doing things, they can be regarded as very caring, at least Jin Meiyu feels very good when using it.

Such a large number of court ladies, eunuchs and guards were assigned to the ladies. Apart from these people, the money that Jin Meiyu said was also in place in the first time, and the eunuchs around Jin Meiyu were the ones who gave the money.

When these eunuchs went, they not only brought a large sum of money with them, but also brought the situation in the mansion of these empresses and sons.

This situation, of course, is to pick and choose suffering.

Of course, these eunuchs were not aimless, but they did encounter a lot of things in the prince's mansion.

The main source of these things is that after the new emperor ascended the throne, he conferred concubines in the harem of the former emperor, and the brothers of the new emperor, but not his sons.

Yes, those princes are all dead, but it doesn't matter, each of them left a throne and a fief.

But these things, the people in the Prince's Mansion could see that they couldn't eat them. Someone sent a message to Jin Meiyu, wanting to invite him to be the crown prince, but Jin Meiyu's answer was also very embarrassing.

To put it simply, now that Jin Meiyu is behind the curtain to listen to the government, she can help the new emperor canonize the former emperor's concubine. People have already drawn up the regulations, and only need Jin Meiyu to stamp it.

It is easy to say about the canonization of the throne and the canonization of the princes. After all, before the emperor died, he had considered these things. After all, the princes are so old. Before the emperor met Jin Meiyu, he was already very old. If It's weird not thinking about it!
In fact, it is very strange that the emperor can pull the prince and not give the title when he is so old, but no one knows what he thinks since the previous emperor is dead.

As for how Jin Meiyu knew about the former emperor's arrangement of her life, it is easy to say.

Among the eunuchs around the former emperor and the empress dowager, Jin Meiyu inherited most of them, and the maids who served her personally also took in a lot.

With these close friends, it's hard for Jin Meiyu not to know.

As long as you ask a little, these eunuchs can be said to know everything.

Jin Meiyu's canonization of these princes was also based on this point, and she didn't hide it, she directly made it clear from the very beginning that this was the meaning given by the former emperor.

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the family members of the Prince's Mansion have no objection to this.

This is nothing, after all, the throne is given, no one favors anyone, the only difference is the title, everyone is dead, whether this was granted by the previous emperor, and these people who are still alive have no opinion.

Even if it is a fiefdom, it is given in a good place. There is no problem with these, and everyone is quite satisfied.

Only the question of the heir to the throne was stuck on Jin Meiyu's side.

The reason given by Jin Meiyu is very simple. She can make decisions about the above-mentioned things, after all, there are routines.But it was difficult for her to choose an heir.

Jin Meiyu even said that these decisions need to be made by the other party after the little emperor grows up.

Just like the posthumous titles of the former emperor and queen mother, Jin Meiyu also didn't give them back. The unified reply was that they should wait for Xin to grow up and be more sensible.

Although Jin Meiyu's approach made people feel a little guilty, but in truth, it was able to win the support of most of the old ministers.

After all, Jin Meiyu's actions further showed that she was only looking after the stalls, and did not have an attitude of overly taking power.

Whether it is canonization of the prince to succeed the prince, or the posthumous title of the former empress dowager, these are all things that can establish the identity, legitimacy and rights of the emperor. These Jin Meiyu voluntarily surrendered and hoped that the new emperor would do it. Not expressing your attitude.
