Because Yinreng arranged for the renovation and reconstruction of parts of the Eastern Six Palaces, hot springs were introduced, lawns were laid, trees were transplanted, and small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, and towers were all added.

Now, everyone inside and outside the palace knows about the deep affection between the Emperor and Empress.

It wasn't that there weren't palace maids in bondservant positions who went to the Qing Palace one after another to exert their strength.

After discussing it with Xue Li, Yinreng released a group of palace maids and eunuchs.

After all, a new emperor brings a new court, and so do palace women and court officials.

At the end of the year, Consort Niu passed away.

Before leaving, I asked Sherry to take good care of Yin-Yi.

Sherry agreed.

Twelve-year-old Yin cried until he was hoarse.

The twins have grown up and are now very sensible. They stay with their parents every day and even wipe away their tenth uncle's tears with their little hands.

Yin? He held one in each hand, weeping bitterly. °(°ˉ??ˉ?°)°?

The second year of Hongtai (1695).

The court officials proposed another selection of consorts, but Yinreng refused, citing the need to observe three years of mourning for the late emperor.

At this time, since many of the Eight Banner soldiers were homeless, Yinreng led his brothers to decide to build houses for the homeless soldiers outside the city according to the directions of each banner. Each soldier was given two rooms, and it was stipulated that the houses could not be bought or sold, and the houses would be confiscated by the government after the soldier died.

Historically, from the mid-Kangxi period onward, the livelihood problems of the Eight Banners became increasingly serious, with many soldiers falling into the predicament of usury and leading to hardship.

Sydney's factories and shops need talent everywhere, from the initial domestic slaves to ordinary people, and now to retired veterans, their families, and Manchu bannermen.

After all, for those Manchu bannermen, working for the emperor and empress was not shameful.

Because of this, Lao Jiu did not hesitate to make money.

Sherry arranged for him to have an official position and do her work!

No, it's on behalf of Yinreng.

A huge bone is hanging in front—overseas!

Yinzhen also disliked handling state affairs, and was overjoyed to hear that he would receive a share.

Moreover, the late emperor, from Emperor Yuren onwards, frequently lent money to his court officials.

As a result, the national treasury was emptied.

Yinreng arranged for the fourth and eighth princes to play the good cop and the bad cop, respectively, to help him get money.

Some senior officials were suffering greatly.

The first to suffer were Mingzhu, Suo'etu, and Tong Guowei.

So much so that his younger brothers looked at Yinreng with stars in their eyes.

The court officials were thoroughly fooled by Yinreng's feigned ignorance, and instead tried to use this as a tactic to check and balance the emperor.

As a result, Yinreng arranged for him to retire in retirement.

Sherry doesn't need to worry about those things right now.

The twins went to the Imperial Study, just as Emperor Kangxi instructed the Crown Prince.

Yinreng was interested in establishing a crown prince, and he and Xue Li discussed the advantages and disadvantages of doing so.

Well, the Yinreng of this world hasn't experienced those things, so his ideas are somewhat idealistic.

I absolutely do not believe that people can change like that.

Of course, this refers to the person Sherry hypothesized, the prototype of Emperor Kangxi.

Sherry didn't say anything and let him be.

Yinreng still made arrangements for establishing a crown prince.

The second child lay on the bed, looking up to the left and right, wearing a bright red bib that looked very festive.

Sherry rubbed Xiao Er's soft, chubby little bottom, recounting the course of history.

Just as I was enjoying the touch, I suddenly sat up.

The palace maid, Fubuki, who was waiting nearby, was startled.

Sherry recalled that in early April of this year, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake struck the Pingyang Prefecture area of ​​Shanxi Province, causing houses to collapse and resulting in serious casualties.

It's almost there.

Sherry rubbed her forehead, handed Xiao Er to the wet nurse, and led her people to the Qianqing Palace at top speed.

A courtier bowed and greeted Shirley, who nodded slightly.

She couldn't wait any longer!

Upon entering the Qianqing Palace, he grabbed Yinreng's hand and hurriedly said, "I just had a nightmare! On the sixth day of the fourth month, a dragon was said to rise from the ground in Pingyang Prefecture, Shanxi!"

Sherry was so busy talking that she didn't notice the surprise in the eyes of the ministers waiting nearby.

Perhaps the Empress was being too simplistic; it was just a dream.

But Yinreng dared not be indifferent.

He took Sherry to the back hall and hugged her tightly to comfort her.

"Don't be afraid, Yingheng, I'm here for you!"

"Baocheng, trust me. We need to take precautions in advance. Even if it's just a false alarm, it's better than the innocent deaths of ordinary people!"

Sydney couldn't wait any longer; it was already the end of March, and it would take several days to send out messages and make preparations.

"Alright! Don't worry, I'm here!" This was probably the first time Yinreng had seen Xue Li so flustered and helpless.

Despite feeling a little worried, I still hugged Shirley and gently patted her back.

Sherry hugged him, thinking to herself that she was too anxious, otherwise she might as well have appeared in Yinreng's dream.

However, she was confident that Yinreng would listen to her.

After all, she didn't concern herself with matters of the court.

Yinreng really took it to heart and sent an urgent message.

He also arranged for his third brother to take food, clothing, tents, and troops to go ahead first.

The ministers stared in disbelief as the emperor, without a word, made the arrangements based on the empress's words.

My feelings are extremely complicated.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

They were surprised by the Emperor's trust in the Empress, and even more moved by the Emperor's willingness to bear the stigma of being a laughingstock despite the unknown risks.

Their emperors cared deeply about the people.

So much so that some of the Han officials in the court, whose influence had waned, were moved to tears.

The entire national machinery sprang into action.

Upon receiving the imperial letter personally written by Yinreng, the governor of Shanxi, Gartu, was so shocked that his legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.

Then, accompanied by his advisors and yamen runners, he quickly relayed the orders to make arrangements.

Several people caused trouble, but they were all suppressed by force.

Most of them are obedient, after all, it's a matter of life and death.

He wanted to take his entire house with him, but was strictly forbidden from doing so.

Being watched, they traveled light and followed the main group as far as possible.

The whole country's attention is focused on Shanxi.

Even court officials were spreading the word everywhere.

If it really happened just like the Empress's dream, then it was the ancestors' blessing, giving the Empress Dowager instructions.

But if it doesn't happen, then there are many more options available.

There will never be a shortage of people who are only after profit.

Yinreng was a little angry. How could he possibly have noticed something was wrong down below?

But Sherry stopped her.

In Sydney's eyes, it all depends on how and where this brick is used.

There are uses for "wasteful snacks".

There are ways to use petty people.

For example, this group of people is perfectly suited to splitting other countries.

Yinreng looked at Xue Li with a slight smile as she imagined the future.

He then learned that his queen had long ago designated Korea, the Ryukyu Islands to the east, and Nan Zhang, Annam, and Siam to the south...

And then there were the various khanates to the west…

In his heart, they were all included in his territory.

Yinreng was also filled with heroic spirit in that instant, thinking about the provisions, weapons, soldiers, and troops...

Based on these ideas, the emperor and empress discussed the protection and welfare of people's childbirth, as well as the later literacy campaign.

There's also the cultivation and sourcing of food.

This includes monitoring of land, such as floods, earthworms, and droughts.

After all, historically, the response to and recording of natural disasters such as earthquakes have often been a collaborative effort among multiple departments.

For example, after an earthquake, local officials will report on the disaster, and the central government will dispatch officials to the disaster area to carry out disaster relief and rescue work.
