Chapter 153: The Eighteen-Year-Old Empress Dowager (End)
Let's talk about Qiao Muna, Qiao Mu has neither obsessive-compulsive disorder nor choice entanglement, her purpose is very clear, that is, to choose a more sensible and pleasing little girl who can get along with her.
Therefore, she took less than a month to get a good candidate, and invited the parents of the good candidate into Ci'an Palace, discussed a few words with each other, and then directly issued an edict to help Emperor Anping give him his queen candidate.
Just wait two years later for each other to be crowned adults.
The two will be able to get married.
Emperor Anping knew that the queen candidate was not from the Empress Dowager's mother's side, and there were still civil and official forces such as the Empress Dowager standing behind him, so he was finally completely relieved, and began to worry about how to appease his old lady, the Empress Dowager Jin, so that she would not toss blindly.
As for the Empress Dowager Jin, when she learned the news, of course she was so angry that she even wanted to go directly to Ci'an Palace to fight with Qiao Mu.
However, fortunately, Emperor Anping knew his mother's temperament, and specially arranged for people to wait on the edge of Qian'an Palace, and prevented his mother from going to Ci'an Palace.
So the Empress Dowager Jin didn't leave Ci'an Palace.
was stopped by someone.
Subsequently, Emperor Anping hurried over again and began to persuade, but in the end he was really impatient, and he was even more angry that he used his uncle's house to threaten his mother.
It's probably you who make trouble again.
I will let Dali Temple deal with some cases of the Jin family impartially, and no longer bend the law for personal gain, etc.
Because Emperor Anping's attitude was very resolute, the Empress Dowager Jin finally died down.
I never want her niece to be the queen.
However, she still used one crying, two troubles, and three hangings to get Emperor Anping to agree, and let her niece, that is, Emperor Anping's cousin, enter the palace as the imperial concubine.
Although Emperor Anping himself was very reluctant in his heart, but his mother didn't know what ** soup was poured by his uncle, and he was forced to die or live, and even said that if he didn't agree, he would go to the court hall to cry that he was unfilial.
However, judging from the blue and purple face when he left Qian'an Palace, you can see the difference in his mood at this time, and it is estimated that the little family affection that was originally left in his heart has also been wiped out by the Empress Dowager Jin's nonsense three or four times.
In the future, I am afraid that some of his uncle's family will suffer.
The emperor is so easy to persecute.
……
After Qiao Mu helped Emperor Anping determine the marriage partner, he didn't do anything else, at most, he occasionally gave something to his fiancée to show how much she valued it.
In addition, Arbor has put more energy into business and supporting people's livelihood.
It's not that she likes to do this very much, the main thing is that she can earn merit and luck, anyway, she stays in the palace and has nothing to do, so she has to find something for herself to pass the boring time, otherwise she will get bored of reading the script and listening to the drama every day.
In ancient times, there were few entertainment items, and even fewer entertainment items she could access when she stayed in the palace, if she didn't find something to do for herself in private, Qiao Mu didn't know how to spend the next few decades, anyway, she had to do things to pass the time, why not make some money and earn some merit along the way.
Therefore, without the knowledge of others, Qiao Mu spread his business network to the whole country within a few years, and took advantage of this opportunity to create many new industries, and at the same time monopolized nearly half of the economy of the entire Dachun Dynasty.
What does that mean?
As for why Qiao Mu can be so powerful, there are two main reasons, one is that the early expansion capital is relatively sufficient (the silver in the royal private treasury) and the other is that the business of the monopoly industry is indeed quite profitable.
Like what kind of glass, toothbrushes and toothpaste, detoxified coal, currency issuance, sea salt, etc., everything is a profiteering business, and arbor doesn't have to worry about being picked peaches, so it is naturally powerful.
However, Qiao Mu did not save the silver he earned, but continued to invest in charity and the like, so that the silver could circulate.
And vigorously develop maritime trade.
She began to expand her business power and prosper the economies of other neighboring countries.
Although she seems to be doing this as an enemy, in fact, it is a kind of economic aggression and economic control, and it will not take a few years for Arbor to completely control the core economy of the neighboring countries.
When the time comes, once the war starts.
Arbor can make those small countries chaotic first by adjusting through economic means.
This includes, but is not limited to, rising prices.
Various economic shocks such as currency depreciation.
Of course, the reason why Arbor has so much time and so much energy to do these things.
Mainly because of Emperor Anping's wedding a few years ago, Qiao Mu finally handed over the phoenix seal in his hand to the queen, so that he could have enough time to do these things, otherwise the miscellaneous things in the harem alone would have to delay most of her time.
Needless to say, her behavior still made the Empress Dowager Jin half angry, and made the Empress Dowager Jin indirectly hate the new queen, but this is exactly what Qiao Mu wanted, and since then, Qiao Mu has basically faded out of the harem power, and officially began to expand the business empire he built with peace of mind.
And the harem was suppressed because there was no arbor.
It is also very lively.
The queen and the Empress Dowager Jin went toe-for-tat, and the Empress Dowager Jin also supported her niece Jin Guifei to enter the palace to fight with the queen, and the other concubines who entered the palace later either stood behind the Empress Dowager Jin or stood behind the queen, and the fight between the two sides was called a lively.
It's called a palace fighting drama.
Emperor Anping was almost killed by them.
Even if he is the emperor, he is still caught in the middle of the struggle between his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and there are no people on either side, so he can only stay with the ministers as much as possible every day, discuss state affairs more, and avoid having to listen to the complaints of those women as soon as he returns to the palace.
At that time, he really missed the silence when the Empress Dowager was in charge of the harem.
It's a pity that he didn't let go of the power of the harem, and he didn't dare to let the queen return the phoenix seal to Qiao Mu, so he could only endure this life.
How else can it be?
It is impossible to run away from home, or to drive his mother and daughter-in-law out.
If it were an ordinary person.
I don't know if I can.
But they are royal, and their words and deeds represent the royal reputation, so they can only hold back, and sometimes his daughter-in-law and his wife have a big quarrel.
He also had to help wipe his ass and explain.
On the one hand, the court was busy with government affairs, and on the other hand, the harem was uncoordinated, and his wife and his daughter-in-law tortured him all day long, so Emperor Anping was a healthy young man, and he was seriously ill in bed when he was tortured in his thirties and couldn't get up.
However, he still held on, and kept holding on, and only after his eldest son turned fourteen years old did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Completely liberated, passed away.
This year, the arbor has not yet reached forty.
She leveled up again.
became the Empress Dowager.
I have to say that the new little emperor is also very tired, because there are still three queen mothers above him, one queen mother, one queen mother, and one queen mother.
The relationship between these three queen queens is not very good, and there will be another queen when he gets married in the future.
It is estimated that some of them have been received by him.
Four generations of mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law stayed together, and then no father-in-law was alive, and it was so lively.
