At this point, Duan Lin ignored Huang Qiong, who looked numb at this moment. He pushed the person down and lowered his head for a long time before sitting on Huang Qiong again. He sighed with satisfaction: "Your Majesty is the real man in this world. With his appearance and ability, I don't know who gave him the courage. He spent the whole day living and drinking. By then, he was so angry that he died of it. Anyway, when we get to Jingzhao Mansion, it is His Majesty’s territory. You can do whatever you want. I only have one request, and that is that Your Majesty must not forget me.”
Seeing Duan Lin falling into madness again, Huang Qiong just sighed and said nothing more. At this time, it can be regarded as a promise. A few days after Duan Lin returned home, news came that King Anxi was in a state of rage and was seriously ill in bed. After hearing the news, Huang Qiong didn't say much although he knew the cause and effect. He believed that after what he said, Duan Lin acted appropriately. It is estimated that it will make people uncomfortable for a period of time, and may even make life worse than death. But it is unlikely that it will kill him.
In addition to a general's mansion, Huang Qiong did not give any other rewards to the Anxi kings who were moved to Jingzhao. Although General Fengen's salary is a little low, he is not short of money. Not only did Huang Qiong confiscate part of the property he had accumulated in the Western Regions over the years, but the rest was enough to feed and clothe his family for more than a hundred years. What's more, after knowing that his junior brother Anxi Wang's family was moved back to the capital. Yi Ying did not go to the capital to visit due to health reasons.
But he sent his son to the capital to visit his uncle. Of course, this is with Huang Qiong's permission. Back then, when Yi Ying was being hunted by the Shu people, he still stepped forward to protect Yi Ying's mother and son even though he knew the Shu people's overt and covert power in the court. It was this that made Huang Qiong's heart I am still somewhat grateful to him. If not, Jia Quan would have died many times just by not saving him when he was in danger. Yi Ying didn't come forward and sent her son to visit, but Huang Qiong didn't stop her too much.
When Ying Hao visited, he didn't count the furs of various rare birds and animals, as well as the strange wild animals living in the white mountains and black waters. The amount of banknotes cashed by Wuwei Bank alone was 100,000 yuan. He also gave away three additional villages outside Liaoyang Mansion, and each of these three villages had 3,000 acres of land. Of course, Yinghao entered the palace as soon as he arrived in Beijing, reported these things to Huang Qiong, and obtained Huang Qiong's permission. From Huang Qiong's point of view, as long as he was considerate and sent some money, silk and Zhuangzi, it didn't matter.
But in fact, what gave Huang Qiong a headache was not Ying Hao's visit, nor how he arranged it. But after returning to Beijing, Duan Lin's appetite became even bigger. Not only did he come to the palace more and more frequently, but he also pestered Huang Qiong whenever there was no one around. It's not that he can't support it, there is no problem in dealing with Duan Lin. But the problem is that if someone sees her coming into the palace so frequently, it will cause serious problems. At that time, it will be too damaging to one's reputation. I'm just worried about Huang Qiong.
Duan Lin sneered, she didn't care at all and just went her own way. In her words, who asked His Majesty to promise her to that person in the first place caused her to stay alone in an empty house for so many years, and now she must be compensated. Besides Duan Lin giving Huang Qiong a headache, the rest were a group of little princesses who refused to get married. Huang Qiong, who had pushed out most of the government affairs, was most worried about these girls, one or two of whom refused to marry. Even though Huang Qiong promised that they could find their consort, no one nodded in agreement.
Apart from these two things, Huang Qiong's life now can be said to be relaxed and comfortable. When nothing happened, He Qingzhu, Zhao Xiu, Wang Qinxin, Zhang Qiaoer and Liu Rui were summoned into the palace to visit Hu Tianhei. Or take Situ Huanshuang and others to visit the mountains and rivers around Jingzhao. With a large number of semi-forced immigrants to the Northeast, the Western Regions, and Yunnan, coupled with the increasing prosperity of overseas trade, the trend of land annexation in the Central Plains has finally come down. Even because with the cancellation of Dingkou money, the population continues to grow on a large scale.
However, land prices, especially land lease prices, have been slowly declining. As the prices of land and grain fell, in the 23rd year of Chongde, the imperial court finally completely lifted the ban on grain-based wine making. The brewing order was officially released in large numbers. Originally, according to the law of the imperial court, brewing could only be made with grains stored for more than five years. Workshops that could still make brewing secretly had to register with the local government, pay a tax of two guan, and obtain a license before they could be made public. Brew various grain wines.
Beginning in the 24th year of Chongde's reign, Huguang North and South Road was used as a pilot project, and we began to reform the land and return it to the local people. Although it triggered rebellions among the barbarians on Huguang North and South Road, Qianzhong Road, Yunnan Road and Guangnan West Road. Even on Yunnan Road, to a certain extent, it can be said that every village is on fire and every tree is smoking. However, under the stranglehold of the imperial army, the large-scale rebellion was finally suppressed. Those chieftains, chieftains, and clan chiefs who resisted the idea of returning to their native land were forcibly removed from their homeland. Those who accepted it were successively awarded the title of Tongzhi, Tongsuan, etc. and were raised.
The original so-called regimental training envoys and military deputy envoys, who could control certain military positions of their own tribal armies, were all cancelled. Civil affairs are all managed by the local government, and those people there are just a decoration. The original privilege of not paying taxes has also been cancelled. Although the subsequent turmoil subsided, it was not until Huang Ruifeng succeeded to the throne that it completely subsided. But by the 29th year of Chongde, under the unscrupulous and unscrupulous measures of the imperial court, everything had been basically resolved. For five years, nearly 10 million yuan was spent on military expenses, but Huang Qiong still felt it was worth it.
Huang Qiong has been in his fifties for thirty years. After Fu Yuanshan and Yu Mingyuan passed away in the spring. I felt that I was getting older and my energy was no longer enough, so I was worried about repeating the mistakes of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, first openly and then secretly. In the autumn of that year, Yu Lizhen officially passed the throne to the emperor's second son, King Yong, and appointed Princess Yong's concubine Li Yaoyao as the queen. And he took his concubines and moved them all to Yongfu Palace. However, in the edict of passing the throne, Huang Qiong directly clarified six things, leaving them to future generations as ancestral instructions.
First of all, even if the country is destroyed or killed, successive emperors are not allowed to cede territories, make peace, or claim vassalage, no matter how powerful the foreign invaders are. The other two things are that whenever the country is not closed to the outside world, it will never be allowed to increase taxes, and it will be based on the existing palace, and it will not govern the palace. Anyone who violates this teaching will never be a descendant of the Huang family. After the passing ceremony, Huang Qiong did not stay in the palace for long. Holding Situ Huanshuang in his left hand and Huang Ruifeng's eldest son who had grown up beside him in his right hand, he left the palace and headed to Yongfu Palace.
Huang Qiong, who moved to Yongfu Palace, imitated the old man's style. In addition to fishing and drinking tea with three or two old friends every day, he also took his concubine who was still alive to go sightseeing. Or else, like all parents in the world, they worry about the marriage of their daughters who have not yet married or are married. This is also the only authority he retains after handing over all power neatly. In Huang Qiong's words, it is not the king's right but the father's right to find husbands and wives for his children.
He would never surrender this right under any circumstances. Of course, Huang Ruifeng, who was considerate of his father, would not argue with him about this matter. After all, my own emperor, I, even gave up this world. It is normal to not give up the right to be a father. What's more, as an emperor and an elder brother, Huang Ruifeng can say that his younger brothers are not a big headache. But for my sisters, headed by my biological sisters, who never knew what virtue and virtue were, they had a huge headache.
Huang Qiong, the father, controlled the right to marry by finger, which he was not happy about. Even in my heart, I breathed a huge sigh of relief. Not only that, Huang Ruifeng also handed over the matter of naming himself to his father. But Huang Qiong was not polite, and with a stroke of his pen, he was given the title of Xuande. Huang Ruifeng could not be said to be satisfied or dissatisfied with this quite satisfactory era name, which obviously followed his father's Chongde era name. For him, he doesn't really care about this, it can be used easily.
And Huang Qiong's early passing was not too unexpected. After all, as early as the 24th year of Chongde, Huang Ruifeng returned from the Western Regions to suppress the rebellion. Every year, Huang Qiong serves as the shopkeeper for the annual sacrifices to ancestors and heaven and earth. If it weren't for the need for southern reform and return, if someone failed, someone would have to take responsibility. I'm afraid that as early as the 26th year of Chongde, this person would have been a little restless, and he had actually become a hands-off shopkeeper early on. , the emperor who has basically not intervened in daily government affairs may pass the throne in advance.
When Huang Qiong abdicated, he left to his descendants a vast territory stretching from Xiaohai in the north, Tengchong in the south, Yizhou in the east, and Yibohai in the west. He left six trillion yuan in the treasury and enough food for three years. At the same time, the number of people has increased to tens of millions. It can be said to be a big country with vast territory and rich resources. Huang Qiong once talked to Huang Ruifeng that his biggest regrets in state affairs were two things. One did not include the Snowy Plateau, and the other was the Japanese Islands, which was not included in Daqi's territory.
The snow-covered plateau is not in a hurry, it is better to use the countries on the plateau to conquer each other and plan for it slowly. But the Japanese islands, which are rich in gold, silver, saltpeter, and sulfur, should be captured as early as possible. Otherwise, the use of gold and silver as currency is now prevalent in Daqi. The source of those precious currencies were all controlled overseas, and he was always uneasy, as someone who was not of my race would have a different mind. It was only because the navy was not fully formed at that time and could not undertake the task of conquest that he kept slowing down.
Huang Ruifeng couldn't help but nodded due to his father's worries. Although ordinary people in this era, even some senior officials, have no so-called awareness of financial crises. But Huang Ruifeng was brought out by Huang Qiong after all, and he still understood why the handle of the knife should not be held in other people's hands. Seeing the thoughtful look on his son's face, Huang Qiong did not force him, but patted him on the shoulder encouragingly and said that now that the whole world has been handed over to him, it was his business to deal with it. Never mind again.
In the ninth year of Xuande, Huang Qiong, who had lived a very comfortable life as the Supreme Emperor, suddenly received a report from Gao Wuyong, who had resigned as the commander of Nanzhen Fusidu. The second princess back then had a sudden turn of events at the beginning of the year because of the local situation. The current second daughter of the emperor. Seeing doctors and administering medicine at the junction of Longnan Road and Dongchuan Road. Upon hearing the news, Huang Qiong said nothing. He and Situ Huanshuang rushed to Longnan in a light carriage. Huang Qiong believes it. If his second daughter appears in Longnan, their sect will not be too far away.
As long as their mysterious sect can be found, can mother's graveyard be too far away? In fact, Huang Qiong has always had an obsession in his heart. That is to find my mother's tomb, even if I kowtow once. It's a pity that from the time he received the letter of his mother's death to the time he passed the throne, even if he sent countless manpower and material resources to search, he failed to do so.
