Save the Bachelor of Heaven

"I thought she was straightforward and had no scheming, and she always regarded her as a good sister. Unexpectedly, I still underestimated her." Lang Hua was frightened for a while and said, "The most disgusting thing is that she wanted to borrow a knife to kill someone, so I The palace was also in a trap, and actually asked me to propose to the emperor that the palace should be repainted for Mr. Shu.

Thanks to the Emperor Shengming, the real culprit behind the scenes was found out in time. Otherwise, wouldn’t I also be suspected? Damn it! "

She proposed to Xiang Nan that she should paint the palace, and the result was such evil things as murdering the emperor's heir. Fortunately, the emperor was aware of everything and found out the real culprit.

Otherwise, if something happens in the future, she won't even be able to escape the involvement, and she will really be killed by her!

"Yes, your Majesty, no one thought that Mr. Jiagui would have such a scheming mind." Su Lian was also frightened for a while and said, "Now that I think about it, before, Mr. Jiagui always told the Queen about Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhe, it may not be true. They are all outspoken, and they are probably sowing discord and secretly instigating.

It's just that the empress is dignified and tolerant, so I didn't fall for her. Otherwise, if the empress gets into a fight with Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhe and offends the emperor, she will be the one who gets the favor. "

"That's right." Lang Hua suddenly realized, "Now that I think about it, Lady Jia Gui always speaks intentionally or unintentionally to sow discord between me and Concubine Xian and Concubine Zhe. At that time, I thought she was honest, reliable, and loyal to protect the Lord. It’s so abominable that I thought of it but made this idea!”

"The Holy One is still wise. He saw early on that Jia Gui had evil intentions, so he didn't favor her for so many years." Su Lian added.

"Yes, he reminded me that day, but I didn't understand it at the time." Lang Hua nodded and said, "Thinking about it now, what the emperor said is really right. Some people just know people and faces but don't know their hearts. It seems that they are mine. Good sisters, but they are actually two-faced and have ulterior motives."

"Empress, tell me, since the emperor knows the true identity of Jiagui, why did he let her go this time?" Su Lian asked in confusion.

"Li Xin refuses to let go, and the emperor has no evidence, so he directly accuses Jia Gui. Besides, Jia Gui is sent by the Yu family after all. I think the emperor will give them a little less favor." Lang Hua thought for a while and said, "But okay. Even if the emperor doesn't punish her, she won't be able to stay in the palace any longer.

Su Lian told Jingshifang that he had given the green card to Jia Guiren. I also told Mr. Jiagui that I thought she was weak and would not come to Changchun Palace to pay her respects in the future. "

"Yes." Su Lian nodded.

…

It is the rule of the harem to calm down at dawn and dusk.

At Mao hour in the morning and You hour in the afternoon, the concubines would go to the palace of the Queen Mother and Queen to pay their respects. Unless there was a decree, they could not be pardoned.

Moreover, morning and evening gatherings were also the most important social activities in the palace. Every time the sisters met and chatted about daily life, it was also a rare pleasure in a boring harem.

Humans are social animals and cannot help but interact with others.

The queen did not allow the nobles to come to pay her respects, which was equivalent to isolating and detaining her in disguise.

As she leads by example, other concubines will naturally stop associating with Jia Guiren.

Moreover, without the queen as a backer, the eunuchs and maids in the palace will no longer take her seriously, and anyone can step on her.

Just like Ruyi who fell out of favor, the food served in the imperial kitchen was always bad. Money for the month, clothes for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, charcoal in the winter, ice cubes in the summer, even if they are not given, it is useless to make trouble.

Under such oppression, it would be difficult for Jin Yuyan to survive.

…

"I didn't expect that she would do such a thing." Ruyi said to Hailan, "Thanks to the Emperor Shengming, otherwise, Yi Huan would have been harmed by her."

"Yes, sister." Hailan nodded, "The emperor is indeed a wise man. He has noticed her wild ambitions long ago and has been unwilling to talk to her all these years."

"I heard from people in the palace that the queen has stopped her morning and evening meditation and will not let her go to Changchun Palace to pay her respects in the future." Chen Wanyin added.

"That's fine. Knowing what she did, how could we sit together with her and treat her like sisters?" Zhu Ying nodded.

"That's right. I feel very upset now." Su Luyun said, "She had been interacting with me for a while before and told me about the dispute between the Queen and her sister. I told her not to leave at that time. said.

She didn’t think I was fooled, so she stopped communicating with me. I'm really glad that I'm a timid person, otherwise, I would have been led into a ditch by her. "

"Who says otherwise? She was careless and outspoken before, and we all thought she had no scheming intentions. Who would have thought that her scheming is so deep. It's okay to harm others herself, but she actually instigates a wise and noble person to harm others. It's really bad." Hai Lan said again.

"In short, fortunately nothing happened this time. We should all be careful not to interact with her in the future, and don't let brother and princess be with her, lest we be harmed by her." Ruyi reminded.

"Yes." Everyone nodded.

…

In September, good news came again from the palace: Shen Wenqing was also pregnant.

Xiang Nan was very happy when the news came.

Because he had learned from the past, after Shen Wenqing became pregnant, Xiang Nan strictly ordered the people in the Chuxiu Palace to take care of the baby carefully to ensure that the baby was safe.

If Shen Wenqing gives birth to a child safely in the future, no matter the elder brother or the palace master, everyone in Chuxiu Palace will be rewarded. Otherwise, they will all be expelled from the palace.

After everyone in Chuxiu Palace heard about it, they naturally did not dare to neglect it and got very energetic.

…

In October of the fifth year of Qianlong's reign, spinning machines, looms, and steam engines were built in Tiangongfang, which increased the efficiency of spinning and weaving dozens of times, which also greatly reduced the cost of cotton yarn and fabrics.

However, in order to avoid impacting the domestic small farmer economy, Xiang Nan stipulated that these cotton cloths could only be sold overseas. It just so happened that the Shipping Company had begun to take shape, attracting businessmen from all over the world.

The cotton cloth produced by Tiangongfang was not only reasonably priced but also of high quality, so it soon received unanimous praise from foreign businessmen and started buying them one after another.

Xiang Nan exported tea, porcelain, cotton cloth, silk, etc., while importing iron ore, copper ore, cotton, etc. from abroad. The prices of iron ore, copper ore, cotton, etc. are not high, but tea, silk, porcelain, cotton cloth, etc. are all high-priced goods.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty could earn nearly 20 million taels of silver from foreign trade every year, which was quite good.

And Xiang Nan also planned to use this money to start introducing talents to build a steel giant belonging to the Qing Dynasty.

By then, warships with a displacement of about a thousand tons will be able to compete with Spain, Portugal, and England. Because the British ships at that time had a displacement of only five to six hundred tons, which was incomparable to the giant ships of one thousand tons, and even their firepower was not comparable.

By then, the Qing navy will be able to reach Australia in the south, the Bering Sea in the north, the United States in the east, and Tianzhu in the west, and its horizons will also be opened.

We can also drive these foreign forces out of Southeast Asia. You can even go eastward and open markets in Japan and the United States.
