Chapter 2103 Giving Money
In the winter of the fifth year of Yuande, the Empress Dowager failed to survive the New Year and passed away.
There is no need to pass this year.
Anyway, the palace has been in a mess these past few days, and no one is thinking about celebrating the New Year.
So they began to make arrangements for the funeral.
The emperor was not in Kyoto, so Zhao Shu took care of the funeral before the funeral, while Yun Dai took Qi Xiao and Jin Shan to arrange various matters in the harem.
Speaking of which, the Queen Mother was completely pissed off by the Queen.
But everyone is not blind and can see the things that the Empress Dowager has been going through since she came back.
Before she died, no one would be angry with her.
After her death, there were not many bad comments about Yun Dai among the people in the court, but there were many impeachment tips, all of which were quickly sent to Saibei by a special post station.
As a junior, doing something like angering an elder to death, no matter what the reason is, is untenable in the Zhou Dynasty, which governs the country with filial piety.
Even if the emperor is fighting abroad, he still has to read the excerpts that should be read.
Yun Dai wrote a letter in person as soon as possible and asked the glutinous rice balls to be delivered to Saibei. She couldn't imagine what Zhao Yuanjing would look like after receiving the letter.
Will he blame her and hate her?
Yun Dai was dressed in plain clothes and stood at the door looking at the bamboo forest in the snow.
After the funeral, the new year has passed, and it is already the sixth year of Yuande.
It is the sixth year that Zhao Yuanjing ascended the throne.
The Empress Dowager has gone, but nothing seems to have changed in the palace. It is still quiet and orderly.
But something is different.
Although the Empress Dowager lived in Zhuluo Villa before, she was still there after all. Now she is gone. This harem is really completely decided by Yun Dai alone.
From now on, no one can overpower her in the harem.
Those old people in the palace who used to think about following the Empress Dowager have been in panic these days. Those who are smart come to surrender early to express their loyalty to the Empress.
Yun Dai has always disliked seeing such people on the outside. She would not reuse such people.
But there are also capable people among them, and they will be indispensable for the time being.
You can't just kick him out.
The managers of the six bureaus and twenty-four divisions must all be trusted people who have been promoted by her personally.
She wants to make the harem monolithic.
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Grandma Qi went to the palace to ask for an audience and was presented with a stack of banknotes.
A full two million taels.
Yun Dai was surprised, she didn't expect King Qin to be so rich.
Aunt Qi saw her doubts and smiled: "The prince has no other hobbies for so many years. He just saved some antiques, and I exchanged them for the money. It's not much, just for the queen's emergency."
Yun Dai divided the silver note into two and said: "With this one million taels, we can use it as a temporary emergency. For the other one million taels, you take it back and return it to the prince. You have to live in your house."
Aunt Qi smiled and said: "The prince is the only master in the house, so it doesn't cost much. The prince ordered the slave to send it, and the slave dare not take it back."
She bowed to Yun Dai, turned around and exited.
Yun Dai took the banknote and wanted to ask a few more questions, but Grandma Qi had already left.
She had not seen King Qin again since the Queen Mother passed away that day in Yuewu Palace.
When he left Yuewu Palace with the Queen Mother, he ignored her.
Yun Dai felt that he might also be a little resentful towards her.
After all, she killed his mother with her own hands.
Now she was asked to see King Qin, but she didn't dare to face it.
After lunch, her aunt came and was very pleased to see that she had recovered. Before leaving, she left one hundred thousand taels of silver.
