Chapter 598： reject

Mrs Wu's face was pale, and Qi Xiuyuan felt that it was almost the same, so he turned around and took Li Jinghua out. On the way, Qi Xiuyuan stopped and said, "I remember when I was young, my father didn't like me very much, and the servants in the house ignored me, no one was there. When talking to me, he sneered at me whenever he opened his mouth. For a while, I was very sad. Although I didn’t lack food or clothing, I thought it was better to die. When I went to see Haoran, I saw that boy was heartless. I just crawled on the ground, hugged my legs and arched up. I was thinking, my mother is dead, my uncle is far away at the border, my uncle and my aunt are not on good terms, if I die too, my brother can stay in peace. Are you at Fan's house?"

Qi Haoran's nose was slightly sour, his eyes were slightly moist, and he laughed softly: "I feel better now, and then I will grow up a little bit. My uncle made great contributions at the border, was promoted to an official position, and sent a master to teach me martial arts. I can go out often. Walking around, the coldness in my heart is much better. I wonder if the second and third brothers can always come to the palace to accompany when the concubine is like this in the palace."

Li Jinghua shuddered, Qi Xiuyuan was planning to cut the flesh with a dull knife, and return what Wu shi did to him and Qi Haoran back then?

Li Jinghua never knew that Qi Xiuyuan's brother lived like this when he was a child. He felt complicated for a while, so he could only reach out and hold him.

Qi Xiuyuan glanced down, took her hand back, and said with a smile, "I always worried that I would not be good to Haoran after getting married, that kid is stupid, and other people's bad words should be treated as good words, but now I see that you and A Ling get along well. , but I was photographed back then."

"Your Majesty." Li Jinghua called softly.

Qi Xiuyuan patted her hand and said, "You have worked hard all these years. The matter of filling the harem will be put aside for now. Now the treasury is empty. We will talk about this matter in two years."

Qi Xiuyuan said in a low voice, "Xiaobao is too young, wait for him to be older."

Li Jinghua's eyes were slightly wet, she clenched Qi Xiuyuan's hand, and whispered, "Your Majesty..."

She felt that Qi Xiuyuan's love for her would be worth it in this life.

The next day, the palace servants reported that Mrs. Wu caught cold and fell ill.

Qi Xiuyuan just smiled slightly, then waved someone to ask for an imperial doctor for her, and then slowly went to court. After the years passed, he was no longer the child who was slaughtered by others, and Wu Shi was no longer able to suppress his stepmother, his stepmother. The road ahead is very broad and long, and people like Wu are no longer worth his stay.

Qi Xiuyuan dealt with some important state affairs in the morning before he proposed the canonization of the empress. He asked the Ministry of Rites to prepare and asked Qin Tianjian for a good day.

Since the canonization of the queen has been proposed, the matter of filling the harem has also been mentioned. The ministers do not want Qi Xiuyuan to indulge in women's lust, but they also do not want him to have only the queen in the harem. If nothing else, the matter of the royal family spreading its branches and leaves is very important. .

The emperor did not say that he would fill up the positions of concubines, at least five or six new people should be added, right?

For the first time, Qi Xiuyuan clearly refused in the courtroom, saying: "Now the treasury is empty, and the two ceremonies of the new emperor's enthronement and the canonization of the queen have spent a lot of money, and now King Rong is still living in Qi's mansion, even the mansion of the county king. We don’t have the money to repair it, so let’s save some money, and the people will settle down, so we shouldn’t disturb the people.”

At the moment, some ministers stood up and said that there are daughters of the right age in the family who can enter the palace to serve the emperor and queen, and no longer need to spend money on civil drafts.

The emperor's complexion suddenly sank, and he sternly refused, saying: "The Great Zhou state is chaotic, but it started from Emperor Gaozong. Emperor Sejong was wise in his life. He once said that the harem of the former dynasty should be separated, so all concubines and concubines are not allowed to be above the fourth rank. The official's family is elected, and Qing Jin offers his daughter, does it mean that he wants to resign and return to his hometown?"

The courtier who brought up this matter did not dare to say much. He let his daughter enter the palace for the benefit of his family, so how could he be willing to give up his position?

Qi Xiuyuan was reluctant to talk about these trivial matters in the morning. In his opinion, concubines and concubines are just like concubines, and they are not worth talking about on the stage.

As soon as he retreated, Qi Xiuyuan carried Qi Haoran, who was obviously not awake, to the study room and asked, "What did you do last night?"

Qi Haoran scratched his head and said, "Brother, I have been looking at the ledger for a few days, and found that this logistics is still not working, you have to send me a logistics officer."

Qi Xiuyuan chuckled, "I want you to learn to read the ledger to give you one more skill. Don't be fooled by the people below. Who told you to take care of this? You are an eagle in the sky, and you want to fly into the sky. Yes, it's alright, since you can't understand it, forget it, I'll send you a master later, you can take it with you, and you can ask him more about things other than wars."

Qi Haoran hesitated: "Isn't it a military advisor?"

Qi Xiuyuan smiled and said, "The military advisor is Zijin. That kid doesn't give up on doing business, and I can't imprison people by your side, so I'll send you another master."

Qi Haoran's eyes sparkled, "Zijin and I go."

Qi Xiuyuan said with a smile: "It's for you to do things, not to play. There are many ethnic groups in southern Guizhou, and there are many conflicts. You should be careful in your work. You can't run rampant like before. Well, as for Dali, these years have been very peaceful, so you can move on for now."

"What about Jin Guo?"

Qi Haoran and Jin Guo's grievances and grievances can be written into a book. He wanted to return to Jingzhao Mansion, but he felt that the elder brother was right. Now there are no useful generals in the southwest, Xixia is eyeing Daqi, and even more He needs to take precautions, not to mention, he has not reported the previous revenge of the massacre.

Thinking of the massacre in Xixia, Qi Haoran couldn't help but feel cold.

Qi Xiuyuan turned around and sat down before returning to the case, pulled out a book and handed it to Qi Haoran, saying, "I plan to make General Yuan the Duke of Dingguo, and Shen Mu as the Marquis of Huailiang, so that they can stay at the border with peace of mind, as for the three palaces of Jingzhao House. Then leave it to your father-in-law, he is still stationed in Tongchuan Mansion, I will let Jiang Ze replace him and let him return to Jingzhao Mansion."

Qi Xiuyuan sighed, "In this way, A Ling is afraid that she will not be able to meet her father, so you can tell her for me when you come back."

Although Qi Haoran regrets it, he also knows that a pass like Jingzhao Mansion cannot be separated from people for a day.

"This time you are going to Qiannan. I don't plan to let you take your old troops with you. Take all your newly recruited bandit troops, and keep the generals for me, and bring the bandits' heads with you."

Qi Haoran pouted: "Brother, I'm all newcomers and unruly bandits. Wouldn't I be beaten up if I go to the southwest?"

Qi Xiuyuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "There's no way, you can work harder, you are very talented in military training, so you should work harder for the elder brother, and the generals you brought out, I will spread them all over Daqi. Go, they will guard our country in Daqi."

Qi Xiuyuan's eyes sparkled, he took out the map and opened it on the table, pointing, "Look."
