Wanli Youming

Chapter 487 Inform the Emperor

Chapter 487 Inform the Emperor

In the first month of the 15th year of Wanli, the ice and snow in the capital had not yet thawed, but the sun still rose from the east as usual, illuminating the Ming Empire.

As for the emperor Zhu Yijun in the Forbidden City of the empire, not long ago, he was permanently exempted from corvee in Shaanxi and Shanxi, which greatly reduced the burden on some peasants in the empire.

This made him, who was wandering around in the West Garden, notice that many maids in the palace were walking with smiles before being bumped into by him, as if he couldn't hide the joy in his heart.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun specially invited a smiling court lady named Huang Min to ask him why he was smiling.

The court lady Huang Min replied: "This servant is from Mizhi. Because I heard from my family that I will be exempted from corvee, I can save a lot of food to the government, so that I can let my servant go home, so that I don't have to worry about eating food after returning home. If it’s not enough, the slaves will be very happy.”

Ever since Zhu Yijun learned through the secret report system of the inner court, there are still many court ladies who want to go home in the future and do not want to stay in the palace often. If you are a dignitary, you can apply to leave the palace and go home, and those who are willing to stay in the palace can also communicate with their family members, but the letters have to be collected and checked by a special person, and a specially appointed female official is responsible for reading the letters. Prevent private messaging.

In any case, the inner court still pays attention to confidentiality.

Turn the words back.

Because of Zhu Yijun's establishment of this system, Huang Min was able to receive letters from his family about the exemption from corvee.

Zhu Yijun was so overjoyed when he found out, that he paid more attention to Huang Min's fair and pretty face, and asked, "So, you really want to go home?"

Huang Min couldn't help but bowed his head and smiled, and then replied: "Return to Your Majesty, yes!"

Zhu Yijun smiled, and then said: "Go on, before you leave, you can go to Concubine Yang to sign up to learn some medical skills, or go to Concubine Liu to learn some piano skills, so that you won't be bored in the pavilion after returning home."

Huang Ming said yes.

"The family no longer has to pay corvee food, and the money saved is going to build another room, so you don't have to squeeze with your sister anymore when you come back."

"Brother Ni no longer grazes cattle for Hu Ju's family, and starts to have more money to go to school."

"Because you don't need to serve in the army, your father reclaimed three acres of land, just waiting for you to come back as your dowry."

……

Quite a number of palace people from Shanxi and Shanxi like Huang Min received letters from their families, so when the female officer read the letter, they were all very happy, and some directly shed tears of joy. And holding his best friend in his palace, he said:

"My parents are finally willing to let me go home after three years, woohoo!"

And these palace people also gained a lot of favor for the royal family because of this.

After Huang Min ran into Zhu Yijun again on this day, he couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and because of this, he was willing to listen to Zhu Yijun, and went to Concubine Yang to sign up.

However, when Huang Min was walking towards Concubine Yang, he bumped into Cheng Qing, the female official who took care of her.

"I've seen Mrs.!"

Huang Min quickly knelt down and saluted.

Cheng Qing pulled her face and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Concubine Yang and sign up to study medicine."

Huang Min replied.

Cheng Qing stretched out her hand: "Give me five taels of silver first!"

"Why is this?"

Huang Min asked.

Cheng Qing was a little stunned, put her hands on her hips, and said:

"How dare you ask why?!"

"Don't you know that the people of Fan Palace need to pay the maintenance fee first if they want to enroll Concubine Yang to study gynecology? This is the rule set by Concubine Yang, and you don't even know it."

"I do not know."

Huang Min replied.

Cheng Qing approached Huang Min and said in a low voice: "Mrs. Concubine Yang's side promised Mrs. Dou, and Mrs. Qin, who was in charge of Princess Yongning's mansion, gave handkerchiefs. Nanny of the emperor, don’t go to the secret police because you don’t want to part with these five taels of silver, lest you will be framed for unclean behavior, such as eating opposite food in the palace, and you can’t even go home!”

"You know, even Princess Yongning and the son-in-law were so bullied by Mrs. Qin that they didn't dare to show their anger. They had to send hundreds of thousands of silver dollars to her home, so that they could say hello to her and meet up together. And you can be nobler than Her Royal Highness and Prince Consort?"

After hearing this, Huang Min was stunned for a while.

"Did you hear?!"

Cheng Qing suddenly twisted Huang Min's ear with her hands, causing her right ear, which was crystal clear like jade, to turn red like a drop of blood on the spot. At the same time, she gritted her teeth and asked about Huang Min.

Huang Min hurriedly nodded painfully: "I see, Madam, please spare me, five taels of silver, I will give it to Madam tonight!"

Hearing what she said, Cheng Qing let go of her hand, and then said with a cold smile:

"It's good to know the fun! Remember that some things can be tolerated, and the right and wrong in this palace have nothing to do with you. You have to wait for the future to go home."

"Yes!"

"I remember."

Huang Min said back.

"get out!"

After Cheng Qing said this, Huang Min went back to her room in despair.

But Huang Min had a dream after returning to the house, dreaming that the emperor was talking to her with a smile: "It is my kindness that you can go home, what should you thank me for? I am the Son of Heaven, representing God's will! If you I don’t know how to appreciate my emperor’s kindness, and if you don’t be more loyal to me, I won’t let you go.”

Suddenly, Huang Min heard Zhu Yijun saying to him again in his dream: "You have to save my imperial sister, and let me know who is bullying her, otherwise, you are sorry for me!"

Huang Min was in a trance when he heard it, and heard the princess crying, and suddenly sat up in fright, sweating all over his head, and hurriedly lifted the quilt and walked to the case and said:

"I have to file a complaint, even if I can't leave the palace for the rest of my life, I still have to sue! The emperor is so kind to us people, I can't let him down!"

Huang Min wrote two letters while speaking, one was to her family saying that she suddenly didn't want to go back, and the other was specially written with her left hand to sue Concubine Yang for privately collecting money and Mrs. Qin for bullying her with old etiquette. A letter from the princess consort.

After Zhang Hong received this anonymous letter, he hurriedly came to Zhu Yijun's place: "Show the emperor, there is a new inner court report."

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun put down the Zhang Zou in his hand, then pinched the bridge of his nose, got up and took the informant, and opened it to read it.

"No reason!"

"The legacy of the old rituals and sentiments in the palace has not been cleaned up. No wonder the Emperor Zhentang will not be respected, let alone other royal relatives!"

Zhu Yijun put the cloak on himself after speaking, and walked out.

Not long after, a deacon and eunuch named Xiu Song came over: "Where is the emperor going, and the servants still order chariots?"

Zhu Yijun didn't respond, and just walked straight to Princess Yongning's mansion.

……

And in Princess Yongning's mansion, Mrs. Qin, the mother-in-law, was holding a paddle and pumping non-stop on Princess Yongning's maid. The maid was covered in blood, and she stared at two fish eyes and said, "I told you to encourage the princess to have an affair with the son-in-law." Send a handbook! Tell you to send it privately!"

Princess Yongning, who was being held back by two young and strong eunuchs, could only cry from the sidelines: "Don't hit her, don't hit her, madam, please don't hit her for my sake, she has been with me since she was a child." , I beg you!"

"Your Highness, why should you be sad? If you beat him to death, you can change His Highness to someone who is better and more respectful! The most important thing my royal family lacks is slaves!"

At this moment, Mrs. Qin said with a sneer.

"Yes, the royal family has no shortage of slaves, but even less of animals!"

Zhu Yijun walked in in a deep voice at this time.
