Chapter 4: Reconciliation (2)
The work of rectifying the inner palace is quite obstacles. The palace was so angry that it was a chaotic person in the palace, and it was full of chaos. Zhu Yinglong was afraid that the people who were hiding evil intentions would do something during this period. He equipped his concubines and Zhang Yan and others in the harem with strict protection. First, the imperial kitchen was replaced by their own people. The imperial chefs were on vacation for the time being, and Yanhong took over it. First, the safety of food was guaranteed, and then the drinking water was the only one in Zhou Huaian.
The guards personally escorted those who were pulled back from Yuquan Mountain, and had to go through inspection before they could enter the imperial kitchen and send them to various palaces for use. The prevention was so easy. At the beginning, several eunuchs led the trouble, but they were suppressed by Wang Chengen. Those who were supposed to be executed secretly basically became the flower fat in the imperial garden. There were quite a lot of gold and silver that were surrendered and copied out. There were rumors among the people that the new emperor was the most greedy emperor since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, but he was greedy for the treasury.
Through this rectification, the inner palace has a new look, and many departments have replaced it with new faces. It turns out that some of the eunuchs who acted as a hero in the palace have left the palace and returned home to farm, some have been arrested and imprisoned, and some have become ghosts under the knife. Who told him to do too many bad things?
This time, the power of the inner palace was reshuffled. First, the status of the palace maids was improved, and then the financial power of the inner palace was suddenly concentrated by Zhu Yinglong, to be precise, the empress and several concubines. The eunuch no longer took charge of the finances of the inner palace, and the source of corruption was cut off. Zhu Yinglong even handed over the daily affairs of the harem to several imperial concubines in charge. Then they were all responsible to the queen, and the queen was responsible to the emperor. This was also an attempt. Zhu Yinglong didn't know whether this step could be continued. He didn't know whether the favor in the harem would happen to him. Now they have no children, and some of them are still missing. He had to prepare for some things early. In fact, this was to find some things for them to do so, so as not to be in the deep palace and do nothing. Normal people could cause trouble. If they had something to do, it might be better.
Zhu Yinglong even thought about sending out all the boring women in the palace. Some of them were concubines of Guangzong, who were about thirty years old, and even more beautiful. It was a bit cruel to lock these women in this deep palace like this, but this was the so-called ancestral rule passed down for thousands of years. It was very difficult for him to change it all at once, and he might be unanimously opposed by the ministers, so he wanted to find something for these women so that they would not be able to withstand loneliness and die in this deep palace too early. After thinking about it, he could only find something for them, and often let them go out of the palace for a walk, which might lead to less tragic endings.
What can women in the palace do? Wear and embroidery, this is great. Zhu Yinglong misses the sweater he knitted for him in the original time and space. It is warm and comfortable to wear. Although he has never knitted a sweater himself, his ideas have surpassed this time and space. Don’t underestimate the wisdom of half of the sky. Zhu Yinglong found Tian Shuying, the most skillful and skillful, and told her his idea. Women have skillful knitting hands. Many things in daily life are knitted. The difference is the materials and uses of those things. Think about it, if these women in the deep palace are mobilized to knit sweaters or embroidery, and then handed them over to Tian Shulan for unified management, it will not only bring fun to the women in the deep palace, but also bring them.
For extra income, and those palace maids can do it in their spare time. If you work in the palace for a few years, you may save a dowry before leaving the palace? Why not do such a good thing? I am afraid that the ministers and censors in the court will be noisy again. In fact, this is not a new thing. The palace has done this long ago. However, some eunuchs take advantage of their opportunity to leave the palace and take the opportunity to sell some rusty silks of good-looking palace maids. However, in this way, the palace maids will always be exploited by these eunuchs. The real price is several times different from their income. But they still endure the eunuchs' exploitation. There is no way. Who told the palace maids to leave the palace at will? And when they are old and old, they don't have any money around them. If no one wants it, they want to live!
Zhu Yinglong's determination is very strong. He makes this private transaction darker into light and completely cut off the eunuch's exploitation and exploitation of palace maids by the eunuchs is also to avoid wasting so many skillful hands. After they leave the palace, they can rely on this to support themselves without relying on men to support themselves. A spark can start a prairie fire. It is not possible for men and women to be equal and shout slogans. Women must be given the ability to survive. As long as they can live without relying on men and gradually evolve like this, equality will always come.
As for the eunuch, he had not thought of a good way to withdraw from the stage of history. Zhu Yinglong's approach was to constantly squeeze its living space, making it a career that only a very small number of people could do, and then slowly let it disappear into the long river of history. It is estimated that he would not be able to see it in his lifetime.
But if he wants to do these things, he has to nod the heads of two people. One is Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan, and the other is Concubine Liu. If these two people oppose it, his idea will be overwhelmed. Zhang Yan is easy to deal with. I believe she will not oppose his decision, but Concubine Liu is different. If she had not nodded, even if she issued an order, it would be difficult to implement well in the harem. In fact, Zhu Yinglong was too worried. He did not expect how big the storm his reform caused in the harem. Concubine Liu was alone, so how could she compete with so many concubines and thousands of palace maids in the harem? Even if she was dissatisfied, she could only abide by the facts.
Da Yu'er, who had been locked up by Zhu Yinglong for ten days, was finally released at Tian Shulan's begging. After Da Yu'er came out, she became extremely silent. Sometimes she didn't even care about Tian Shulan's words, which made Tian Shulan suspected of being locked up, but Da Yu'er knew that she would not look stupid at all when she was eating and sleeping.
"I want to be your secretary!" Da Yuer said to Zhu Yinglong in an extremely firm tone.
"Are you sure?" Zhu Yinglong asked coldly at Da Yu'er's still tender little face.
"Yes, our Mongolian women say one is one!" Da Yu'er said with wide eyes full of wisdom.
"Do you know, I am negotiating with your husband now?" Zhu Yinglong suddenly removed the seriousness he had just left on his face and asked with a smile.
"I know." Da Yuer replied very calmly.
"If you know, you won't make this request to me at this time." Zhu Yinglong said unhappily.
"Why, since you can sit down with my husband to negotiate, and say you are brothers and family, why can't I be your secretary?" Da Yuer asked back.
"Who did you hear these?" Zhu Yinglong's face changed color. He had someone who dared to tell these secret information about the court. How could he not be angry?
"Please don't be angry. What I know is not about anyone's business. I just hear it occasionally when I pass by Wenyuan Pavilion." Da Yuer explained with a smile.
"Is that right? Do you think I am a three-year-old child? Wenyuan Pavilion has guards closely, so it is impossible for you to get closer, so how can you eavesdrop on it!" Zhu Yinglong said with joy and anger.
"I passed by when the guards changed shifts." Da Yuer said calmly.
Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that what she said was true? Seeing that there was no panic in her eyes, she asked, "I still don't believe it. Even if the guards change shifts, you can't get close to Wenyuan Pavilion. Don't forget, you can only stay in the inner palace!"
"I am the concubine Lan who accompanied you to come back to Wenyuan Pavilion after leaving the palace for work. If you don't believe it, you can just invite concubine Lan to come over and ask." Da Yu'er was still very calm, not like a lie at all, and said, "You must know that women on our grassland are born with good ears. When men go out to fight, the cattle and sheep in the family are taken care of by women. If you don't have good ears, how can you predict whether there will be a wolf attack in time?"
"The reason is far-fetched, but I will believe you for the time being!" Zhu Yinglong pondered for a moment and nodded. It was not difficult to figure out this matter. He called Tian Shulan and Wenyuan Pavilion several major scholars over here and asked to find out the truth.
"Now you can promise me to be your secretary, right?" Da Yuer asked.
"Da Yu'er, do you know what the secretary does?" Zhu Yinglong suddenly felt a little bit of love for sex, and walked to Da Yu'er with this evil smile on his face and said.
"No, I don't know." Da Yu'er was panicked when Zhu Yinglong looked at her and subconsciously took a step back.
"My secretary is not just sorting out memorials. Running errands is so simple. Sometimes she also has to meet some of my special needs, such as..." Zhu Yinglong stretched out his right hand and gently supported Dayu's jaw, revealing the white and tender white jade neck. His eyes slowly looked at Dayu'er's slightly undulating chest, and did not continue to say anything.
"You..." Da Yu'er's jaw was held by Zhu Yinglong. She wanted to take another step back, but unfortunately, her waist was already wrapped by Zhu Yinglong's left hand, unable to move, and looked at Zhu Yinglong in horror.
It is said that the ancients developed slowly, but it is a fallacy no matter how they look at it. The ancients should have developed faster than people in their time and space. Da Yuer was only fifteen years old and her breasts were already developing bulgingly. If she was not Huang Taiji's woman, maybe Zhu Yinglong had stretched out Lushan's claws and felt it well.
Thinking that he was Huang Taiji's woman, Zhu Yinglong suddenly lost his heart to have sex, put down his right hand, and let go of his left hand, and said, "I am the emperor. All the women in this harem belong to me except the concubine of the former emperor, and you are no exception. Do you understand what I mean?"
Da Yu'er was probably frightened by Zhu Yinglong's actions just now. She whipped her ten whips without mercy and locked her up for ten days. After being locked up for ten days, she felt that for the first time that the cowardly Han people also had something similar to the domineering. She had only seen this domineering attitude in her father and husband who was twenty years older than him. Therefore, she had an indescribable feeling for Zhu Yinglong. Love is not very similar, but brothers and sisters are more similar. She is like a sister who did something wrong, while Zhu Yinglong seemed to be a sister who cared for her. She had to punish her in order to protect her, but now it is different. The look just now was obviously an aggressive look from a man to a woman. It was something that Da Yu'er fell into confusion.
