Even after Yinreng left the capital, things were not much different from when he had never left, because he always wrote letters back.
Because she always received letters from him, Jingrou felt as if he was still by her side and had not gone far away.
Because the message was sent by someone else, some things didn't need to be said clearly. In his heart, Yinreng always mentioned the porcelain he had given her before, or a certain potted flower in Jingrou Courtyard, as if he were still by her side, talking about old times.
The imperial court was in an uproar because the emperor had started to deal with that matter.
Don't underestimate the power of those die-hards. They have been entrenched in the court for so many years, not to mention that several of them are highly respected. Some of them are even in their fifties or sixties and are about to retire.
For them, having worked hard in the imperial court their whole lives, how could they possibly stand up to the emperor who was about to cut off their escape route?
Even if it costs them their own reputation, they have to protect the future of their descendants!
They all knew what kind of people their sons and even grandsons were. If they were to be employed by the emperor based solely on their talents, there was no hope. They could only shamelessly ask the emperor for a favor.
However, this time the Emperor unleashed a trump card.
He had long been impatient with these people. As he grew older, he was unwilling to get involved in these matters and wanted to preserve his reputation as a wise ruler. He turned a blind eye to certain parasites that were eroding the Qing Dynasty, not to mention that the leader of these groups was his wet nurse Cao's family.

Although the current head of the Cao family has caused him some resentment due to certain events, they are still close. Not to mention, he also bears a heavy responsibility.
"Lord Ma Jia, it seems this is going to be difficult. His Majesty just mentioned the national treasury accounts to me in the Imperial Study..." The Minister of Revenue cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, kindly reminding the official who had come to see the Emperor.
The two were of equal rank, but Lord Ma Jia had established himself in the court and had a powerful family background. This reminder was not only a sign of respect, but also an attempt to curry favor with him.
Lord Ma Jia was slightly taken aback, then slowly straightened up and bowed to him in return, before leaving thoughtfully before even reaching the Imperial Study.
Since the Emperor has already told the Minister of Revenue, it is clear that either he wants to use the Minister to tell them, or he will announce this matter in court soon.
The court is truly about to undergo a major upheaval.
The national treasury's accounts have always been a rather sensitive issue.
After the Qing army entered the pass, the Qing treasury, which was originally destitute, gradually accumulated some wealth through the efforts of several emperors. However, before the Kangxi Emperor, the emperors were not particular about details and most of them did not understand Chinese, and they still retained their original Manchu customs.
At the beginning of the founding of the nation, the accounts were indeed extremely chaotic, causing great concern to several ministers in charge of the matter.
Moreover, the Manchus were originally a nomadic people who initially believed in living and eating with their subjects to show kinship. Their boundaries were not very clear. Even after entering the Central Plains and becoming emperor, they were still somewhat unconventional.
