Chapter 406: Can't Do Without Her [Plus Change]
"County Lord, the Queen Mother invites you to enter the palace." After Xiaogong's daughter asked Bai Yunyi to say goodbye, she said respectfully.
As soon as Bai Yun found out, the Queen Mother was really inseparable from her more and more.
I only saw her yesterday, and today I want to let her enter the palace again.
In the past, when the third princess didn't come back, her old man thought about her daughter very much, and she couldn't see her, so she could only see Bai Yunyi from time to time, which was enjoyable.
It's different now, now that the third princess is back, the queen mother still wants to see her from time to time, as in the past.
Maybe in the queen mother's heart, she really treats her as half a daughter.
When Bai Yun entered the palace, it was really a moment, and in the 24-hour system, it was 9:15.
In ancient times, people got up early and went to bed early, and it was already a little late.
When she entered the dormitory of Kangci Palace, the third princess was obviously relieved.
"Yunyi, you came just in time, come and help." The third princess hurriedly beckoned to her.
If the emperor wants to send the previous concubines out of the palace, he will inevitably give people a settlement fee.
You can't just drive people out of the palace without caring about anything, right?
That's too heartless.
According to the emperor's will, each person was given 1,000 taels of silver, and their clothes and jewelry in the palace could be taken away.
The Queen Mother originally planned to do the same, but in the end she found that it would take almost 50,000 taels of silver to settle those people, and her old man was suddenly reluctant.
There is no way, the royal family is poor, and the treasury is abundant, but the silver must not be embezzled.
There are so many women in the palace, the expenses are already large, there is no queen in the palace, and she is old and doesn't care much, and the result is that the internal affairs government is very poor.
You don't have to think about it to know that the officials in charge of the Internal Affairs Office must have eaten almost one by one, and they don't know how much silver they embezzled.
But now the top priority is to take out the 50,000 taels of silver, and then go to the reckoning.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs sent several large stacks of books, with a list of various items, and the Queen Mother wanted to see which things were not very useful, which could be disposed of and converted into cash.
She called the third princess to come in to help, but the third princess was not good at dealing with these housekeeping, so she was a little anxious, so she thought of Bai Yunyi.
Knowing that they called themselves here to do this, Bai Yunyi was really shocked.
The dignified Internal Affairs Office, which manages most of the assets of the royal family, can't even take out tens of thousands of taels of cash, which is definitely a big problem.
She said that there was no corruption, but she didn't believe it.
"Queen Mother, who is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office now?" Bai Yunyi asked as she flipped through the list of items.
"It's King Kang." The Queen Mother sighed and said.
The Minister in Charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a fat man, and he is usually held by the emperor's uncle.
According to the rules of the Great Yan Dynasty, when the emperor was in power, his brothers could only be idle princes.
When the new monarch ascends the throne, the imperial uncles can receive some errands related to the imperial family, such as going to manage the Zongren Mansion or the Internal Affairs Office, and will not enter the ranks of civil officials and military generals.
This can be regarded as a kind of suspicion avoidance.
Bai Yunyi usually doesn't care about this, and he doesn't know who is in charge of the Internal Affairs Office.
Now when I heard that the person in charge of the Internal Affairs Office was King Kang, I couldn't help but be tongue-in-cheek.
King Kang's person is a little mediocre, and it is estimated that he has not been fooled and coaxed by the people under him.
But even if King Kang no longer has the ability, he has a backstage.
His father, Lao Kang, was the grandmaster of the imperial family, and even the emperor respected him very much.
