How to make a famous minister

Tiancong three years, Shengjing.

In the Houjin Palace, the palace where Zhe Zhe lived as the queen is called the "Zheng Palace".Except for the glazed tiles on the roof and the colorful paintings under the eaves, this main palace has no other decorations. Compared with the Kunning Palace where the magnificent empress of the Ming Dynasty lived, it can even be said to be simple.

But Zhezhe didn't think much about it.She naturally knew that the empress of the Ming Dynasty was much richer than her, but Zhezhe also knew that her wealth was only superficial.Only by becoming the wife of a majestic monarch like Huang Taiji can she have the highest glory-mother Yi Tianxia.

Zhe Zhe and Huang Taiji have been husband and wife for many years, even though Huang Taiji's harem is full of Yingying and Yanyan, Zhe Zhe has never panicked.

Yingying, Yanyan are all passing by, and only she, Zhezhe, is the only queen.

It was summer at this time, Zhe Zhe was half leaning on the couch in Beinuan Pavilion, and a little maid gently hammered her legs.Zhezhe took a sip of tea, put down his cup and opened his mouth, breaking the silence of the room, "A few days ago, the jade pillow sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs looked very good to me. I haven't slept so well for almost two years. Lantian Nuanyu really lives up to its reputation."

Although Zhezhe doesn't fully understand the Confucian classics and history collections, she still has a little bit of ancient poetry. She still knows the allusion of "the sun is warm in the blue field and the jade produces smoke".Nuanyu is precious, and since there was this poem, the price has doubled.The Ministry of Internal Affairs brought up a whole warm jade pillow as a tribute, even Zhe Zhe felt it was too extravagant.

Talma, who has served Zhezhe for many years, knew that this was a reward, and just about to speak, Zhezhe raised his hand slightly, "Let the head of the House of Internal Affairs come to see me."

According to the order of the empress of the main palace, Hutabu, the head of the house of internal affairs, did not dare to neglect at all. He walked quickly to the main palace, took a breath, and collected himself. go in.

As soon as he entered, the rich and gorgeous Zhezhe was looking at him with a smile that was not a smile. Hutabu didn't dare to look at him, and knelt down to salute.

Zhezhe didn't let him get up, so he asked him to kneel and answer. "I used the warm jade pillow you sent me a few days ago, and it was indeed effective. In the past few days, I have slept better than before. Thank you for your merit."

Hutabu was overjoyed, and lowered his body even lower: "It's a slave's blessing to be able to serve your mother. Hutabu dare not take credit for it."

Talma handed him a small bag with a smile, "The jade pillow you sent up made the empress sleep well at night. This is the greatest contribution. Why can't I reward you?"

Hutabu is just pretending, now that there are Talma's steps, he naturally accepts the small bag.

Seeing that he had accepted it, Zhezhe said, "The Lantian warm jade is so precious. I have only seen jade pendants and pendants before, but I have never seen such a large piece of warm jade. How did you get it?" ?”

Hutabu pondered for a while, then said cautiously: "I knew a friend when I was a child, and my family often did wool business with the Ming Dynasty, and also provided furs to the palace. This time, the jade pillow was obtained when he traded with the Ming Kingdom. of.

After Hutabu finished speaking, the room was quiet.Talma quietly went to look at Zhezhe, only to see her expression was indifferent, she looked at Hutabu thoughtfully, and seemed not to pay attention to anything.

Talma was startled, Zhe Zhe showed this appearance, someone must have offended her, so she quickly lowered her head, even breathing lightly.

Although she has served Zhezhe for many years, Talma still doesn't know how Zhezhe's emotions are transformed.Just like just now, Zhezhe slept on a jade pillow, slept well, and was in a good mood. It is human nature to reward Hutabu.

But Hutabu came, and after some conversations, Zhezhe changed his face.But Talma thought about it, but he didn't know what was wrong with Hutabu's words. Zhezhe said: "Okay, I know. You can go down.

Hutabu also noticed the solemn atmosphere, hurriedly saluted and retreated: "Cha."

Hutabu left, but Zhezhe didn't move yet, Taerma felt Zhezhe's calm and majestic aura surrounding the warm pavilion, and even the little maid who beat her leg didn't dare to move.

Zhezhe glanced at the little palace lady indifferently, "Did I tell you to stop?"

The little palace maid was taken aback, she was too busy to continue.Ke Zhezhe twitched his legs, fell to the ground, and stood up. "Drag it on."

There were two powerful maids dragging him down with their mouths covered, and it was too late to struggle or cry for help.

Zhe Zhe said casually: "Today, the emperor is here for dinner, so please show me the menu."

Whatever menu is needed, Talma can recite it with her mouth open.Zhe Zhe increased and decreased, and added a few more seasonal fruits and vegetables, and he was satisfied.

That night, Huang Taiji came to the main palace for dinner.Manchus don't have such rules, such as palace ladies and concubines have to wait at the gate of the palace, Zhezhe just waits in the inner room.After exchanging greetings, the emperor and empress sat down to eat.

When Huang Taiji saw today's dishes, he smiled and said: "Sure enough, the empress knows what I like best. Every time I come to the main palace, I can feast my mouth."

"Where is my food here? It's because His Majesty is more frugal and restrained in his daily life, and he seldom seeks pleasure for a while." Zhezhe boasted a few words in a neutral manner, and picked up a chopstick to blanch vegetables, "Your Majesty use more, It’s hard to find fresh vegetables this season.”

Huang Taiji ate it with a smile, and Zhezhe secretly heaved a sigh of relief and began to eat.The emperor and the empress had dinner, drinking tea and sitting around like the Han people, chatting about family matters.It's just that their identities are different, and which of the names they read out of their mouths is not a person who stomps his feet and shakes the ground three times.

"By the way, I heard that you rewarded Hutabu?" Huang Taiji suddenly remembered the news he heard today.

"Yes, thanks to the jade pillow brought up by Hutabu, I can sleep more peacefully these days." Zhezhe said softly.

Huang Taiji shook his head, "Hutabu can do something, it's not easy."

Zhezhe covered his mouth with a handkerchief, and laughed silently, "Hutabu is also full of enthusiasm. It is not easy to find such a big and beautiful piece of blue sky warm jade. I heard that it was obtained from the people of Ming Dynasty. .”

Huang Taiji curled his lips, "Ming people know how to enjoy themselves." As soon as he said that, he remembered that Zhezhe slept well with a jade pillow, wouldn't he enjoy it more?Can't help but feel a little embarrassed.He hurriedly remedied: "However, I heard that the blue sky warm jade is extremely precious, and it can make you sleep well, so it's worth the money."

Zhezhe said: "I heard that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty also had a jade pillow made of blue sky warm jade. The one I have here was obtained by trading with a friend of Hutabu from the Ming Dynasty. As soon as he got it, he came to the palace of filial piety. This fell into my hands."

At this time, Huang Taiji understood Zhe Zhe's hint - such a large piece of warm jade from the blue field, only the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who was richer than Houjin, could sleep on it. How could this friend of Hutabu be so clever? Can you buy a piece on the border of the Ming Dynasty?

The two looked at each other, and both understood what the other was thinking.

On the second day, Zhezhe heard a report from the West Palace, and Hutabu also presented precious jewelry and even extravagant baby utensils to Concubine Zhuang, especially to curry favor with the newly born fourth daughter of the emperor.

"But Concubine Zhuang just said 'this is against the rules', and she turned Hutabu out." Talma learned vividly, as if she was there and saw it with her own eyes.

After hearing this, Zhe Zhe heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Bum Butai is really smart."

Except for the two from the Horqin Grassland, Huang Taiji’s harem more or less accepted Hutabu’s gifts. Firstly, these clothes and jewelry are indeed attractive; secondly, this Hutabu doesn’t know how long he will be in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. , can be regarded as making friends.

Until two months later, starting from Hutabu, the Houjin capital picked out a series of spies. Some of them were Han Chinese, some were Koreans, but there were even Houjin people. It can be seen that the Ming Dynasty worked hard in Shengjing for many years. , were all burned.

Remarks:

1. I don’t know if Lantian Nuanyu can cure insomnia, but I just remembered it

2. At this time, Zhezhe's place was still called Zhenggong, and Xiaozhuang's palace was only Cixi Palace.The name change was after Jin changed its name to Qing Dynasty.

3. It is Tiancong's 3rd year now, and Hai Lanzhu entered the palace in Tiancong's 7th year. At this time, Huang Taiji is still wet with rain and dew.
