Chapter 88

Nothing has happened since she was in charge of the harem. She is both kind and powerful and doesn't care about the past. Even if these people have some masters behind them, they don't dare to do anything excessive. This is the first time something like today happened .

"What's the matter?" Tantai Ziyu let them kneel down, and those who came looking for trouble could not be treated well.

"Reporting to the empress, the toilets in the eunuch's and maid's quarters are overflowing, and I ask the empress to make a decision." Eunuch Chen said with a look of embarrassment.

Xia Zhen felt disgusted for a while, he didn't expect that they came here for this kind of thing for the first time.

Tantai Ziyu sat on the futon and supported her head with her hands, thinking for a while: "What's going on?"

Eunuch Chen was surprised that the empress would be angry, but he didn't expect to be so calm: "Return to the empress, the thing is like this, the empress does not let the chief set up department to choose palace maids and eunuchs, and some eunuchs and palace maids who made mistakes were driven out of the palace. There is a shortage of manpower in the palace, so that the number of palace people responsible for pulling the toilet is insufficient."

"The matter of pulling the latrine is managed by Mr. Kong, who is in charge of the Ritual Department. Mr. Kong complained that there were not enough people in charge of the design department. Mr. Liu, who was in charge of the design department, complained that the penalty was too severe and drove away too many people. He was in charge of the punishment department. Mr. Chang complained that the toilet in charge of the construction department was too small, and Mr. Bai complained that the people in charge of the ceremony department were not diligent enough." Eunuch Chen said with sweat on his forehead.

Tantai Ziyu nodded lazily: "Isn't Mr. Chang, who is in charge of punishment?"

"The servant is here." Eunuch Chang kowtowed to the ground.

"There is only one chief storage officer missing, and your entire internal affairs are about to be gathered because of the latrine." Tantai Ziyu said in a mess: "Mr. Let’s talk about the toilet.”

Everyone was a little dumbfounded, thinking that the queen was easy to talk, why would they be fighting in a blink of an eye.

"It's a small latrine problem, you guys are making trouble here like this, do you think this is a trash can?" Tantai Ziyu had a bit of anger on his face.

"Empress, please forgive me, but this servant dare not." Eunuch Chen hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Although I don't say what I say, there will be six or seven tripods, and the execution will be carried out outside the Zichen Hall. Can Eunuch Chang disobey my order?" Tantai Ziyu said coldly.

"I don't dare." Eunuch Chang hastily made arrangements.

They were blushing and thick-necked before, but now they regret it when they think about it. They never expected that the queen would start beating people without warning.

Tantai Ziyu sat with her head propped up in Zichen Hall and listened to the screams of the eunuchs outside. These people are also monkey spirits. Even if they are doing superficial tricks, they have to be done for her. If this kind of thing bothers her, it is clear. It's just disgusting to her, and I don't know who came up with the ghostly idea.

After the beating, the five of them had to go into the Zichen Hall and kneel. Who said the empress was easy to talk to, that was the time not to provoke her, and if she was provoked, she would not reason with anyone.

"Is there any problem now?" Tantai Ziyu looked at them.

"No more, no more." The five said hurriedly.

"Just tell me, there is no problem that a beating can't solve, if it doesn't work, then another beating." Tantai Ziyu said lazily.

The buttocks of the five people tightened at the same time, and they felt more pain unconsciously, and hurriedly nodded in agreement.

"However, I don't embarrass you about the latrine problem. I will find a way to solve it. Eunuch Bai just looked at the distribution of latrines and decided to rebuild a few latrines." Tantai Ziyu looked at the map of the palace in front of him.

"Your Majesty has stopped the selection of maids and eunuchs, and the number of people in the palace has been decreasing. I'm afraid..." Eunuch Bai looked at the empress staring at him, and immediately lowered his head and dared not speak.

"How much of the palace wall repairs are done by you yourself, but you just found craftsmen from outside the palace and you just watched it. Do you feel that this palace has not touched you so far, so you think it's nothing?" Tantai Ziyu His tone was cold.

"But..." Eunuch Bai's forehead was sweating: "The internal budget is tight..."

Tantai Ziyu smiled and stood up: "Then Eunuch Bai will make a budget according to this." She said and threw a piece of paper in front of Eunuch Bai: "If this palace finds out that Eunuch Bai made a wrong budget, then Mr. You don’t need to take up the position of director of the department, I never keep useless people in this Palace.”

Eunuch Bai trembled: "Yes."

A group of people came in a hurry, and left after being beaten up. The people who wanted to see Tantai Ziyu's jokes were a little stunned.

"Miss, do you want to check it out?" Xia Zhen frowned.

"No need." Tantai Ziyu looked at the map of the palace: "The latrines in this palace really need to be changed. Tell me how much lamp oil and incense candles the palace uses every year."

Xia Zhen didn't know why her lady suddenly remembered about lamp oil and joss sticks, but she checked the ledger.

Ji Yuan frowned after hearing this. Although Tantai Ziyu has the Phoenix seal, she doesn't care much about the harem except for some simple rules. It is estimated that someone gave her a problem this time.

"After the empress stopped the selection of eunuchs and palace maids, there are indeed fewer servants in the palace than before." Qian Degui said cautiously.

"Not enough?" Ji Yuan glanced at Qian Degui.

"It is true that the former servants in the palace were a bit burdensome, but the empress didn't take care of it in detail. If she just stopped it, some people would definitely be dissatisfied." Qian Degui said cautiously.

Ji Yuan thought for a while and smiled nonchalantly: "I think the queen can handle it."

The queen mother ate the mousse sent by Meng Qingman, and was talking to Meng Qingman about the tributes paid by various places this year. Although she had lost her sense of taste, she still liked the mousse's good taste.

"Houliang's pearls are not as good as each year, and the sea spices paid by Kongming are not stable. I don't know what will be paid this year." Meng Qingman complained.

The implication is that these neighboring countries are not paying attention to them more and more. If Houliang hadn't relied on Dafang to trade grain, he would have been hostile to Dafang just like Qiang Shun and Yun Chong.

In fact, paying tribute is a bit of self-promotion. Since Mingzong, Dafang’s national power has been declining, and he has long lost his previous prestige, so that Qiangshun, China, and Yunchong completely turned against Dafang during the time of Xianzong, and only Houliang He also keeps in touch with Kongming and Dafang.

Every year their envoys bring tribute, and the generous royal family will also reward them with a lot of things, even more than what they paid tribute.

"The emperor is still too young." The queen mother said, her face began to become ugly.

Meng Qingman noticed that the queen mother's change was a bit strange, and thought that the queen mother and the emperor had become so hostile now, but who knew that the queen mother stretched out her hand to support Nanny Liu on the side and left, leaving Meng Qingman there with a curious expression.
