The winners have been passed down for countless years, and there are quite a few people from the royal family.
However, these people were extremely opposed to my becoming the crown prince. If it weren't for my father suppressing the opposition, who knows how they would have made such a fuss.
"They are Young Master Zile, Young Master Yuan, and Young Master Weixiang. They are..." Madam Zheng told Zhao Qingrui which branch these people belonged to.
Zhao Qingrui supported her head with her left hand. She had seen these people before, but she was not familiar with them.
"Does our father still have to decide their marriage?" Zhao Qingrui raised her eyebrows slightly.
"That's not necessary. However, since His Majesty personally granted the marriage, the person His Majesty chose must be good." Mrs. Zheng said with a wry smile.
Who can Your Majesty choose? The people Your Majesty knows are all officials and nobles in the court.
They all have good calculations. With His Majesty's words, their value will be increased.
Zhao Qingrui instantly understood what Madam Zheng meant. She just wanted her father to choose a noble lady of higher status for them.
With the policies that the Great Qin is implementing, most of the royal family members have become useless. They are gradually declining, and their relationship with Your Majesty is becoming increasingly distant. They want a closer relationship with Your Majesty.
If you lack the talent and fail the official assessment, then you only have the third option.
That is a marriage alliance, and the person His Majesty knows must be no bad one.
"I will inform my father about this matter. Please tell Madam Zheng as well." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"Your Highness is too polite." Mrs. Zheng waved her hand quickly.
After returning to the Eastern Palace, Zhao Qingrui waved away the servants and contacted his father.
"Father, what are you going to do with those people? Are you really going to take care of them? Some of these royal family members are more like termites sucking our blood." Zhao Qingrui actually didn't want to take care of them.
Although they are relatives, some of them are three generations apart and the relationship is distant.
Moreover, those people enjoy the support of the country, and each of them is fat and powerful, with no talent or ability, and cannot be trained.
In her opinion, raising them is a waste of food, and she doesn't want to be the one being wronged.
She doesn't even plan to interfere with her brothers and sisters in the future.
"You want to harm the royal family." Ying Zheng raised his eyebrows. How could he not be familiar with his own daughter?
However, there are many problems within the royal family. He didn't have time to take care of them before, and now he is too lazy to take care of them. Isn't he still a daughter?
"Yes, we raise them like pigs. Look, they are all spoiled. This won't work. We must let them know the sufferings of the world and learn how to be self-reliant." Zhao Qingrui nodded with a smile.
If she wants to change or formulate some extraordinary policies, she often needs her father to support her.
Her qualifications were too shallow, and she had the final say in the court. Apart from her father's support, the reason she had the final say was that Feng Quji and Li Si were truly committed to the Qin Dynasty and wanted to make it stronger.
She was not familiar with those royal family members. She now regarded Daqin as her own territory. Naturally, she would not allow these people to be lazy and just wait for the national treasury to support them. What was the difference between this and raising pigs?
Raising pigs? Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. If the royal family knew about his daughter's analogy, they would probably be furious.
"My dear daughter, they were my supporters when I was able to sit on the throne. Now they are being discarded. Isn't that too bad?" Ying Zheng said embarrassedly. These people did have some merits.
"Can the emperor still provide them with food and drink for the rest of their lives? You have seen how useless they are. The examination for officials has been conducted several times. There are many people participating each time, but is there anyone who passes?" Zhao Qingrui said earnestly.
When Ying Zheng heard what Zhao Qingrui said, he was silent for a while.
"Did I do something wrong?" Ying Zheng sighed.
"They were wrong. They did have meritorious service, but you became the King of Qin by right and authority. Your achievements will be remembered for generations to come. Can't their contributions compare to those of Li Xiang and his men?"
"Look at Prime Minister Li. He is old but still studious and motivated, and knows how to enrich himself. But the royal family members are a bunch of trash, and they have been spoiled by your preferential treatment." Zhao Qingrui said seriously.
If the current situation continues, the population of the Winner family will surely increase dramatically, or a figure like King Jing of Zhongshan will appear, and the entire old Winner family will be prosperous. At that time, it may follow in the footsteps of the old Zhu family.
The problem with the royal family is not small, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible.
As it is now, she has already been spoiled by her father. She absolutely does not agree to raising a bunch of useless people.
The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched. After thinking about it, he felt that what his daughter said made sense.
"Then how do you want to deal with them?" Ying Zheng smiled. It was such a small matter, and his daughter would not kill those people. At most, their lives would be a little difficult. If they could know how to make progress, it would be a good thing.
"Reduce the food, clothing and other expenses of the royal family and let them be self-reliant." Zhao Qingrui said with a smile.
"What will you do if they are unwilling?" Ying Zheng shook his head helplessly. Those people in the royal family were not easy to deal with.
"Those who are unwilling and dare to make trouble should be sent to the book repair shop. These people can read and write, and they can do some odd jobs." Zhao Qingrui said with a wicked smile. The main reason was that the book repair shop was really short of people.
Although these royal family members are a bit useless, they are still much better than ordinary people.
"You're so naughty. They won't agree when the time comes. I'll see how you can stop them from talking." Ying Zheng felt a little headache when he saw his daughter doing bad things.
"Public opinion has never been in their hands." Zhao Qingrui is really not afraid of public opinion. She has been developing newspapers for several years and has completely taken control of the official bulletin.
