Chapter 23 (Emperor and Empress, Crown Prince...)

amends for the princess" After this fight, Chen Jingzong finally gave the king of Xiang a straight eye, "OK, Wang Ye will have a discussion with me. As long as Wang Ye wins, I will take off my clothes...in mid-July, Chen Tingjian's plea was sent to the imperial study together with three letters from Huayang.

Emperor Jingshun first picked up three letters from his daughter's family and smiled with relief when he saw the first letter, "Father and Emperor Zaiqi."

my daughter also wrote back in May, one to the queen and the other to the crown prince, but not to him. Although the letter to the queen also mentioned her concern for him, Emperor Jingshun was still a little uncomfortable.

he doesn't have many children. Together, he has two sons and two daughters. They are born to the queen and the imperial concubine.

of these four children, apart from having different sustenance to their sons, what Jingshun Emperor loves most is his youngest daughter Huayang.

the queen is a rare beauty in a place like the palace. Huayang's beauty is even better than that of the empress. From an early age, Zhong Ling Yuxiu is delicate and lovely, which is the kind of beauty that even if she slaps someone with a straight face, the person who is slapped will have to worry about whether her hand will hurt.

in the eyes of Emperor Jingshun, his daughter is like a fairy fruit that can make people forget their worries and refresh their spirits. No matter why he has a headache, as long as he sees his daughter, his body and mind will feel better.

when he was a child, his daughter was very attached to him and always liked to come to him to play, one father at a time, singing better than the treasure lark in the cage.

it is a pity that he spoiled a maid after drinking and later found out that the scene might have been bumped into by his daughter.

from then on, his daughter seldom approached him again. Emperor Jingshun pretended not to know the truth, but in fact he was ashamed to take the initiative to find his daughter.

but Huayang is still his favorite child.

"send these two letters to the queen and the crown prince."

Emperor Jing Shun compared the thickness of three letters to his family and found that the one given to him was the most important. He smiled and handed the other two to the eunuch who was waiting next to him.

the eunuch went out with the letter, and Emperor Jingshun cut open the envelope and took out the stationery.

looking at it, Emperor Jingshun frowned, put down his daughter's letter for a while, and opened Chen Tingjian's fold.

Emperor Shundi realized that it was Chen Tingjian's brother and sister-in-law who were greedy for more than 20,000 taels of silver behind their back, and there were also some land shops.

in addition to writing about pleading for guilt, Chen Tingjian also sent a box cage containing Qi's greedy gold, silver and jewelry, as well as land deeds and house deeds.

when the former emperor was in power, corrupt officials were in power, and the state treasury could not make ends meet all the year round. After he ascended the throne, Emperor Jingshun vigorously punished corrupt officials and used energy ministers to improve people's livelihood. The accounts of the state treasury looked a little better, but the expenditure of the imperial court was still tight in all aspects. Now it is more than 20,000 taels white, even if it is only a small amount compared with national needs. Jingshun Emperor is also very happy. The officials and gentry at the bottom, who refused to help the court share their worries and showed filial piety to others in private, were not finally given to him

as for Qi's woman, Jingshun Emperor paid no attention to it at all.

Emperor Jing Shundi called for an eunuch with a pen, and he dictated it and replied to Chen Tingjian.

first thing, with regard to those bribes, all officials, in view of the fact that the amount of bribes paid by each official is not high, Jingshun Emperor decided to demote each official by two levels and fine ten times the amount of bribes to set an example. Every landlord and gentleman shall be fined 20 times as much as ten times the amount of bribes paid.

in this way, Emperor Jingshun could earn more than 200,000 taels of silver from the treasury by the punishment of the Chen family officials and gentry alone.

second thing, Emperor Jingshun praised Chen Tingjian for his righteous destruction of relatives, taking the initiative to apologize, and his meritorious service in flood control, so as to appease Chen Tingjian from excessive self-blame.

the third thing, according to the law, Qi committed two crimes of embezzlement and unfilial piety, and when he was hanged, the Chen family handed over Qi and his accomplices to the Yamen of the governor of Lingzhou. While Chen Tingshi is not strict in managing his family, that is the family matter of the Chen family. As an elder brother, Chen Tingjian can discipline and punish himself to prevent future offenses.

"the Emperor is kind. Old Chen GE will be grateful for your will."

Grandpa Ma, the eunuch, smiled and flattered.

Emperor Jingshun touched his beard. Chen Tingjian is a pillar of the country. Naturally, he will not blame him for such a trifle.

when the business was over, Jing Shundi continued to read his daughter's family letter, only to see that it was all about Qi's corruption and the disaster in Shiqiao town, and only told him to take care of his health near the end.

this kind of letter from home is tasteless.

Emperor Jingshun went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace.

Empress Qi was reading her daughter's letter. She read it so carefully that she didn't even notice that Emperor Jingshun came in.

Emperor Jingshun is already in her early fifties, but Empress Qi is only 35 years old. She not only retains the beauty of her youth, but also the charming amorous feelings of a woman. It is precisely because of her beauty that Emperor Jingshun has canonized her as a new favorite who has just entered the palace after her post has been vacant for many years.

"what did I write I laughed as if I had eaten honey."

Emperor Jing Shun sat next to his wife, and if the queen watched carefully, she would find a trace of envy on his face.

but at this time, all the queen Qi thought about was her daughter and son-in-law, smiling and moving the writing paper to the emperor's husband: "since Huayang got married, she has complained to me about the vulgarity and incomprehension of her horse every time she entered the palace, and now the young couple have finally come together."

Emperor Jing Shundi narrowed his eyes slightly and saw his daughter say in the letter: "both husbands and brothers are literati, and it is difficult to walk alone in the wind and rain. They do not have much power to brush their wives, but the horses carry me on my back, and my daughter, Fang Zhiwu, is also as good as the martial arts."

the simple description does reveal some of the sweetness of the little girl.

Emperor Jing Shundi smiled, and he naturally hoped that his daughter would have a happy love with the husband and wife of the horse.

the Emperor finished reading the letter side by side and talked about the family affairs of the Chen family. Finally, the topic came back to her daughter. Emperor Jingshun touched his beard and said, "after all, Lingzhou is a remote place, and the town is even more poor. It is inconvenient for Huayang to live there." In addition to the funeral, I will immediately transfer him back to the capital, and Huayang will come back soon. "

Queen Qi thought for a moment and whispered, "your Majesty, Chen GE's family are all pure filial piety. When the news of the funeral came at the beginning of the year, how many people speculated that Chen GE would find a way to stay in the capital, but Chen GE was duty-bound to enter the palace and resign, eager to return. This time, the couple will certainly be in full mourning in their hometown. Although the three brothers only need to serve for a year, they probably don't want to leave their elders and go back to Beijing to become officials first. "

Jing Shundi: "what do you mean"

Queen Qi said with a smile: "before the funeral period is released, Ding Yu's officials will tell the court in advance and ask the court to arrange their posts at the right time. Why don't we wait and see what the three brothers in the horse say if they want to return to Beijing immediately, you promise that if they want to stay in Lingzhou to fulfill their filial piety in front of the two elders, you might as well prepare three vacancies for them in Lingzhou, the younger brothers. It is also good for them to experience 2012 locally. "

Emperor Jing Shun: "if that's the case, won't Huayang stay outside for two more years"

Queen Qi: "if you stay for an extra year and three months, you can return to Beijing in the summer after next." She is now the wife of the Chen family. She has been in mourning for a year and a half, so she can share the reputation of filial piety with her two sister-in-law. Why not "

Emperor Jing Shundi: "all right, let's send more rewards. We can't let her suffer there."

Queen Qi is not worried. The Chen family dare not wronge her daughter.

East Palace.

the prince is studying with his husband. Although this gentleman is not as strict as Chen GE, according to the rules, no one can disturb the class unless there is a big event.
