Emperor Chongzhen had many concubines, but the famous one was a queen and two noble concubines. This time, this wife meeting was held, and these people had a seat. Others were too low in their identities and stood below.

Hu Guang glanced at the woman below and tried to recall it as much as possible, but found that there were a few women who didn't know each other. Well, it was true that there were too many wives who could not remember their names.

There may be many otaku in later generations who envy the harem of three thousand beauties, "eat" one and "spit" one, and enjoy all the blessings of all the people. But this is mostly just yy. If you really encounter this situation, most people in later generations will have a headache about this because they have more human nature than the ancients.

Hu Guang is no exception. He has a headache when he sees so many girls. However, since he is already his concubine, he cannot let him go, so he can only wait to find out later.

He first greeted Empress Yi'an with many wives, and then began to discuss things and said to them: "Since Jianlu invaded the capital, a lot of things have happened. Originally, the ancestors were not allowed to interfere in politics, but some things have something to do with you, so I thought about it and communicated with you, and hope that you can support me and cooperate with me."

After hearing this, Empress Yian nodded for granted and said, "The Emperor said it clearly!"

Many concubines rarely see the emperor, and they will not show their presence at this time, so they all agreed, and a nice sound sound sounded.

"In order to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, I ordered the burning of grain from Tongzhou; when Jianlu retreated, several towns were set on fire, and all property and young people were plundered, and the old and weak were left. For this reason, I have ordered the capital to implement grain control, and all grains are controlled by the court, and grain distribution is implemented."

"Your Majesty, I may have less cost." Concubine Tian was extremely smart. She immediately heard the implicit meaning and immediately spoke up.

Queen Zhou looked at her and nodded and said, "I am the lord of the harem. I should cooperate with Your Majesty. I have a clear understanding of the duties of each palace."

By this time, the emperor's intention was already very clear. These emperor women, regardless of whether they were willing or not, had to express their support.

Even Queen Yi'an, she understood the meaning of being invited, and she probably had to reduce the cost. However, she was very wise and did not want to use her identity to fight for special treatment, so she had no objection.

Unexpectedly, the emperor had something to say, and he only heard him say: "The war has passed now, and it has reached the stage of rewarding merits. But the court not only has no food, but also no money to reward. However, there is still some time for these things to be solved. But there is one thing that needs money urgently and cannot wait until I have money."

"..." Kunning Palace was very quiet. The women looked at the emperor a little unexpectedly, and they vaguely understood what the emperor wanted to do. Suddenly, several women felt their liver pain.

Hu Guang continued, "Everyone should remember that Jianlu almost attacked the city late a night ago, right?"

Although most women knew about it later, they were still quite scared when they recalled. If Jianlu attacked the city, their concubines would definitely suffer.

Hu Guang glanced at them and said, "Many soldiers fought to the death to resist Jianlu. Without them, we would not be able to speak here safely. Therefore, I had promised to build a Ming Zhonglie Hall to worship the dead in the country. This matter is very urgent. The court has no money and the inner treasury is not enough. Therefore..."

The Kunning Palace was quiet, and all the women watched the emperor without saying anything.

After pausing, Hu Guang expressed his ultimate goal: "I decided to collect the money from the palace, some gold and silver utensils, as well as gold and silver jewelry, etc. in the palace. We all gather together and all contribute."

To be honest, this matter must have an objection to ordinary concubines. What does this matter do with the women in their inner palace? It seems that such a thing has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. As an emperor, women are about to fall to this point?

However, such an idea can only be thought of in my heart. No woman dared to raise it in front of the emperor. The women who have the status and are qualified to express different opinions are also well-known, so it is probably unrealistic to ask them to take the lead in mentioning it.

Sure enough, Empress Yian, under Hu Guang's gaze, immediately nodded and expressed her opinion: "It is impossible to do this in state affairs. Although this palace is a woman, it is also necessary to do its part in the country."

Empress Zhou also expressed her opinion and said that she would take out her own private money. Whether Concubine Tian and Concubine Yuan were willing or not, the two giants in the palace expressed their opinions. Naturally, they also expressed their opinions that they would drive other concubines, no matter how many they would.

Hu Guang nodded secretly in his heart when he saw it. The Empress and Imperial Concubine were sensible, which made him feel much less worried. It was not bad!

There are actually other ways to solve the problem of raising money for the Ming Zhonglietang. However, Hu Guang had no idea and decided to use the power of the harem to solve it. It was not that he wanted to make things difficult for his wife, but that he wanted to gain military power and gain support from the military. The more he used this method to raise the Ming Zhonglietang, the more he could gain the heart of the military and gain reputation for his military reform.

As for the royal face, he came from later generations, so naturally he did not value it as much as the ancients. As long as he could receive benefits, he would not mind.

The purpose of Hu Guang's wife meeting was that the palace had to set an example, not only to implement food control, but also to collect silver. If it was just a decree, not to communicate and force it, if anyone among these wives did not cooperate and made some troubles. If such a thing was spread, it would really damage the royal face.

After such communication, under the leadership of these wives, if such a thing is spread, although it seems that the royal face is damaged on the surface and will be ridiculed by some people. But in fact, for most people in the Ming Dynasty, it will have a huge demonstration effect, which will not only shock some noble relatives in the capital city, but also gain great reputation.

Hu Guang was also glad that Empress Zhou and others were very wise. For Empress Yi'an, Hu Guang still had to save her from saving money.

But Empress Yian was very persistent and said that she was no exception. In the end, everyone in the harem had to save money. It took a few days to collect the property, so the matter was handed over to Empress Zhou and the two imperial concubines to co-chair, so Hu Guang didn't worry about it.

However, Hu Guang also made a statement that when the country gets on track, he will double down on their repayment. After finishing this matter, Hu Guang, who was working on the road, immediately rushed to the next stop.
