Empress Xiaozhao

C107 Follow-up to the recovery of the Ryukyu Islands

The Xu family was a local Prominent Class in Fujin Quanzhou, and was even lower in the Ming Dynasty. As for Huang Xigun, his own abilities were not low either. Nineteen years old, a High Scholar, he was twenty years old, and was ranked fifteenth among the top three, a High Scholar. After that, he was appointed by Emperor Chong Zhen as Patrol Officer in Guangxi.

Although Huang Xigun himself was rejecting official and hiding from the world, it was also because of this opportunity that allowed Huang Xigun to receive such a heavy responsibility during the time of the Shun Zhi Emperor. Although Han Lin was a sixth rank official, since ancient times, scholars valued Han Lin the most, and the officials who came from Han Lin took the prime minister as their last resort.

The Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the position of Prime Minister and set up his own six branches to gradually consolidate the imperial power in the hands of the Emperor. Since then, there has been no Prime Minister in the world. Even until now, the same applied to His Majesty, but this didn't mean that there wasn't an official position equal to that of the Prime Minister that had been replaced.

The Qing Dynasty established the Cabinet of Ministers and the Council of Ministers of the King, which were all institutions that assisted the Emperor. As for the Eastern Pavilion Monarch, he was at the first rank. He would be in charge of the positions such as checking the questions, checking the tickets and answering them according to the rules and regulations of the court. They could even replace the emperor's calligraphy brush, even though these words were dictated by the emperor himself. Eventually, the Eastern Pavilion Monarch would replace the emperor to write them down.

However, this in itself showed that Huang Xigun was being valued highly by the Emperor. And Shi Lang, after escaping from Zheng's family, actually met such a noble like Huang Xigun, and even took Huang Xigun's sister as his wife. Now, with Shi Lang's request, how could he not support his?

"Then, Uncle is in Taiwan, but he's still alright."

At this time, the uncle Huang Xigun was asking about is the Shi Lang who married Huang Xigun's sister. " Now, even if you were to return to glume, your uncle-in-law had already won the favor of many citizens, and your uncle-master did not slander Zheng Chenggong, who had the grudge of killing his father. Only in this way will you be able to gain the trust of others. "

Huang Xigun had always thought that a man who became a great man would not care about small matters. It was just like back then when he had discovered the end of the Ming dynasty and had long ago retired from it. Unlike the uncle of Emperor Chong Zhen, the Emperor was going to die in the great Ming Dynasty. As the emperor's uncle, he had to accompany the Emperor in his death as well.

"As a person, remember to be foolish and loyal. It will be the same when you follow your prince in the future. Being able to remain neutral is naturally for the best. Looking at the current Empress' house, it is precisely because Nu Fu Lu was able to rein in Billung and establish his family that the Empress now has a mother under the heavens. "

Huang Xigun had always thought that one should think for oneself. It was also because of this that Huang Xigun's official journey was smooth sailing. He had been working for the Qing Dynasty since five years ago, and in just three years time, Shun Zhi had advanced from Huang Sigong to Han Lin Yuan. In the short span of half a year, he had managed to transfer to the work department's ;

He had already achieved the post of Patrol Officer in Guangxi in the Ming Dynasty, now that he had changed to Qing Dynasty, Huang Xigun was naturally unwilling to see his position as an official on such a low level. It just so happened that the emperor was going to collect the salt roads in the southern part of the Yangtze River. Jiangnan was always dominated by sea salt, and this sea salt had always been monopolized by Jiangnan's squire Shihao due to the war between the imperial government and the city a few years ago.

Today, the emperor needs a Chinese man who knows the south of the Yangtze River to bring the salt industry back to the treasury. It seemed like the best candidate would be Huang Xigun, the Fujian guy, who had been ordered by the Emperor for ten years to move Huang Xigun to Zhejiang Province. The same year Ding did not ascend to the political envoy Si Tongguang made Pan Hu, Sai Gong, the left deputy governor of the Dooryard, moved to the right side of the lake, transferred to the west of Shanxi province, and sent to the right side of the west side of Shanxi province.

In the eleventh year of Shun Zhi, Huang Xijun was bestowed the title of Bachelor of Cabinet of Hongwen Academy by the Emperor. As for Huang Xigun, who had just become a Bachelor of Cabinet, the first suggestion he made was to write the Great Ancestor's teachings.

"This humble subject believes that when the Great Ancestor Emperor Taizong was alive, the Eight Holy Banners could not be changed because of the war. However, now that the four seas have been pacified, this subject thinks that the two holy scriptures should really be changed." Huang Xigun's words could not be any better for the emperor who wanted to make the Dong and E his successor. It was just that, in turn, it offended the Empress Dowager of the Holy Emperor.

My Great Qing has always governed by filial piety. If Master Huang is loyal to the sovereign, my family would be satisfied, but if Master Huang does not know what filial piety is, then this humble one does not need to be loyal to the nation. "

Huang Xigun did not dare to disobey the Empress Dowager's words. Therefore, before Yi Mo Qiu, Huang Xigun took his leave with his parents Ding You. Of course, the reason why the Shun Zhi Emperor governed his country with filial piety was immediately to agree to it. It had been thirteen years since Shun Zhi was summoned by the emperor. In the past, the Emperor wanted to create the Dong and E, but the Empress Dowager did not agree. Not only did she not agree, she even dealt with Huang Xigun who advised the Emperor.

The effect of killing a chicken and making an example of a monkey was immediate. Since then, three years had passed, the Emperor no longer wanted to create the Dong and E. However, now that he was crippled, the Empress Dowager needed another Horqin to be the successor to the Emperor, so when Shun Zhi was recalled back, he was promoted to the position of Official of the Supreme Court. Within sixteen years, Huang Xigong had been promoted to the position of Emperor Zuo Lan of the Dooryard. It was just that, at this time, Huang Xigun's Shangguan Lu had already reached the end. Until the death of the eighteen years old emperor, Huang Xigun had never been promoted again.

When it came to the New Emperor's Year, as the former subject of the previous emperors, the emperor comforted Huang Xigun to change him to a general doctor, and the right assistant minister of the military. Kang Xi had died in six years, his position in the imperial court had changed. Kang Xi had contributed quite a bit towards the matter of Ao Bai back then, so he had finally gotten an extra glance from the Empress Dowager. It was also because Huang Xigun was once again favored by the emperor after eleven years. In October, Chen Kaiyong, a colleague of Chen Kaiyong, was appointed as Eastern Pavilion Scholar and chief examiner of the Wuying Hall.

Kang Xi had also received the title of Minister of the Army from February to July of the twelfth year. Huang Xigun had led the troops to pacify the "Three Soldiers" rebellion, led the troops to resist Geng Jingzhong and the others who were part of the rebellion, and returned to the pavilion with the orders of "Pingkou". The Emperor once again assigned Huang Xigun to the Ministry of the Army to conduct banquets, while the other officials did not.

Huang Xigun stayed in the Cabinet and the Ministry of War for eight years, until the chaos in the Sansui Family was completely pacified. Twenty years later, in October, the Emperor had already bestowed meritorious service to the warriors, and Huang Xigong had naturally agreed to Huang Xigun's request. Originally, there weren't many official positions, and the Emperor was just worrying about how to arrange the meritorious service, so Huang Xigun gave the Emperor a way out of it. Thus, the emperor happily kept Huang Xigun's title of Wuying Hall Grand Scholar, but all the other officials were exempted.

But even so, the Emperor still allowed Huang Xigun to participate in the politics. This also gave rise to the discussion that they had in the Qianqing Palace. For the future of Shi Lang and the Huang Family, Huang Xigun could not care that much.

The Imperial Palace became lively once again, and it was after the birth of the Yue Zi in Imperial Consort Xian. Although the Imperial Palace was not that popular with the commoners, for their own health, the empress concubines still paid special attention to the month after the birth.

When the emperor found out that the Imperial Consort Xian had given birth to a prince that day, he didn't display any special expression and had the same attitude as the prince under the Imperial Consort Yi back then. The empress, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief at the emperor's attitude.

In the view of the empress, the fact that the emperor didn't express anything was already a sign of his deep love for the prince. If there were really other rewards, the empress herself would not even let the prince live. Because of his status as the empress dowager, this prince was destined not to be at peace. In the future, this child's life would definitely not be peaceful. The Queen knew this.

The empress had come up with several methods to deal with what the emperor would do in the future. Under the circumstances of having a crown prince, if the emperor treated him differently, the empress would make the decision to eliminate the little prince. Sacrificing a prince to protect the whole family was the best bargain for the empress. Even if this prince was a child who was related by blood to him.

It had to be known that the emperor had created the crown prince, but since ancient times, the imperial family had always liked to do this sort of thing. Fortunately, the emperor didn't have any other movements at this time. He didn't go to the Changchun Palace nor did he go there. But even so, the Empress did not let go of her heart that was hanging in the air.

And on the same day, after the empress dowager woke up in Cining Palace, Sumalagu told the empress dowager everything. What the empress herself did not say due to their stand, and what the empress said.

And lastly and most importantly, the matter of the Imperial Consort Xian giving birth today.

"Imperial Consort Xian giving birth today? "So are they coming and going now?" The Empress Dowager had been calmly listening to Sumalagu's report, and had even been leisurely drinking her tea. Because she had heard Sumalagu's words, she had put down her teacup, and even had a relationship with the Imperial Consort Xian whether or not the baby was already born.

"Reporting to master, Imperial Consort Xian has already been born. It's a little prince." Sumalagu was not surprised either. With the Empress Dowager's concern for the empress and the fact that the Imperial Consort Xian was the empress's younger sister, she naturally received twenty percent more attention from the empress dowager.

"Oh, little prince, how do you do?" This Dowager believes that with the Empress's left wing, being able to raise the Fourth Prince well was naturally no problem for the Prince. "

Holding the buddhist beads in her hand, the empress dowager seemed to be lost in thought after saying these words. Sumalagu arranged for the servants to clean up the tea cups that the empress dowager had used, and then respectfully waited at the side, not disturbing the empress dowager who had already sunk into deep thought. At this time, although the Cining Palace was shining brightly under the sun, it gave off a cold, silent and unfathomable feeling.

"Why didn't Ninth Princess carry it over for the empress to see? I forgot about my little sister." Imperial Consort Yi and Little Sister Imperial Consort Xian carried the Ninth Prince and Tenth Prince to Kunning Palace together. "

Other than the Guo Gui, there were no longer any concubines carrying emperors in the palace. Next May will be the Emperor's birthday. It is now the end of the year. In November, a heavy snow fell over the Imperial City. As the snow fell, so did the temperature. From the start of November, from the empress dowager's Cining Palace, to the empress's Ci'an palace, to the emperor's Qianqing Palace, the empress's Kunning Palace was last the East West Six Palaces and Twelve Academies, all of them had already ignited their land dragons.
