Chapter 852
"Don't worry too much. Have you forgotten my cousin's original promise? No one can sit in the queen's position except you."
Zhu Cilang quickly explained. Seeing her cousin's face turned pale, Zhu Cilang felt very distressed.
I originally wanted to pull it over and hold it in my arms, but now this society is different from that in today's society. Even if I have a cousin, I can't do such intimate actions.
"Um…"
Zhou Luan agreed gently and knew what Zhou Luan was thinking. In fact, Zhou Luan was not interested in this position, but like Zhu Cilan.
In today's society, except Zhu Cilang, Zhou Luan has no other relatives. If Zhu Cilang doesn't want it, he would just assign a engagement to others, and Zhou Luan's second half of his life would be over.
"The emperor doesn't have to worry so much. In fact, it doesn't matter whether there is a queen's enthronement or not. As long as the emperor doesn't let me leave here."
Zhou Luan said this with the courage to do so.
"Don't worry, since I promised you, it's a matter of saying nothing. If you can't even do what you promised to your cousin, how can you face all the people in the world?"
Zhu Cilang said with a smile, but in fact he had another idea in his mind.
The reason why he insisted on making Zhou Luan the queen was, on the one hand, because of this little girl, and on the other hand, he did not want any shock to the court.
Now that it has just stabilized, the battlefields everywhere are also advancing in an orderly manner. If the court and the public are shocked due to the Queen's affairs, then some things may be impossible to control.
Now these people have no idea about the position of the queen, but if this person is not Zhou Luan, then all forces within the court may have risen.
I used to be tolerant, but now for the position of queen, there may be a split.
This is definitely not what Zhu Cixuan wanted to see, and it is also extremely unfavorable to the current battlefields of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, Zhu Cixuan insisted on not letting go of this matter, which also allowed these people to settle down.
The position of the queen in the harem is crucial. Although other non-frequency is also important, it cannot guide the direction of the entire court. Therefore, when Zhang Shenyan sent the memorial, Zhu Cilang did not make too many instructions, but just expressed his dissatisfaction in a tactful manner.
It also allows these people to understand that in the harem, you have to end up here. If you continue to make trouble, don’t blame us for being ruthless.
“The mung bean cake is really good…”
Zhu Cixuan used to like to eat these snacks, but compared with what he ate before, there is indeed a big difference between what he ate before and what he is now.
Even if it has been accumulated for hundreds of years, the food that an ordinary person eats cannot be compared with what the emperors of this era eat. This is the superiority today.
The brother and sister talked about some more relaxed topics. Zhou Luan also knew that Zhu Cilang had a lot of things, so she took the palace maid back to the harem. She was also a very tactful girl.
The more this happens, the more distressed Zhu Cilang feels. A girl of seventeen or eighteen is at a time when she is willful, but because of these kilometer-long managers, Zhou Luan becomes extremely sensible.
"Long live the matter, there is something else that needs to be done in advance."
On the way back, Cao Renli thought of something. It seemed that Emperor Wansui really didn't understand these things, so as Emperor Wansui's right-hand man, you have to remind me what I should remind you.
"What's the matter?"
Zhu Cixuan said with a question mark.
"The harem is actually going to be filled, so the inner treasury should also play some money."
Cao Renli thought of the empty inner warehouse now.
Zhu Cilang nodded. This is also a very important thing. With so many wives coming from now on, they can't just eat every month and do nothing else!
According to their grade, everyone has a certain monthly monthly payment. Now that the inner treasury does not have a dime, can it be that if these concubines still need to bring them themselves?
"Is there any constitution that was originally there? If there were any, you can just go down and do it yourself. All the money will be distributed directly from the Office of the Interior."
Zhu Cilang thought that it was just some of the empresses in the harem, and there was not much money to spend. The government of the Internal Affairs now had to pay the money to get rid of it. However, after Zhu Cilang finished speaking, Cao Renli did not nod on his face to agree.
It turned out that no matter how much money was paid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, as long as Zhu Cilang said it, Cao Renli didn't say anything, but the problem was that he really didn't dare to agree to this matter. The expenses in the palace were not a decimal.
According to the memorial of Lord Zhang Shenyan, if all of them entered the palace, the entire palace in the harem would need to be repaired. At that time, the Qing people only repaired some of them. Now there are dozens of concubines. If they want to repair them, this part will cost at least two million silver.
This is still an extremely frugal situation. You must know that every palace has various decorations, and these things are the most expensive.
Fortunately, when Zhu Cixuan went south, he brought all these things, so this part didn't cost much money. If he even counted this, it would probably be 8 million yuan in silver. Every place in the palace was extremely expensive.
In addition, there are some people serving the palace. When he just took the capital, Zhu Cixuan thought that there were no need for so many people, so he dismissed some of them.
Now that so many empresses in the harem are added, according to Cao Renli's preliminary estimates, whether they are palace maids or eunuchs, they need to add nearly two thousand.
According to Zhu Cilang's requirements, if new eunuchs are not allowed, they have to be replaced by palace maids and some servants, which is also a large number.
Adding the monthly silver for the Empress and all the Empresses, can this be a decimal?
The monthly expenses of the palace are now about 24,000 silver.
But now, except for the Emperor and Zhou Luan, there is no other master in the entire palace, so the expenses can be barely passed. But if those people come in, they may not be able to get through even if they increase by ten times.
After Cao Renli finished these words, Zhu Cilang felt a little headache. No wonder this guy didn't dare to agree. It was really costing a lot.
