Chapter 1319 [Updated on July 22] Only You and Me

But when she really fulfilled this promise, she felt like she was dreaming, it was really unbelievable!

After all, their identities are different from ordinary people.

Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the world is so big, if you want to see it, as long as the economic conditions permit, you can just leave.

But he is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and she is his queen.

When they are themselves, they still have responsibilities and obligations to Qing Dynasty.

He has so many political affairs to attend to.

She also manages the harem chores.

"It's true. Recently, in order to deal with important political affairs earlier, I went to the Old Summer Palace. I originally wanted to finish it before your birthday, but I didn't know it was delayed until now."

During this tour, he had to do a lot of things.

The sticky stick is a secret secret service.

It is naturally inconvenient if you come and go in the Forbidden City.

But Yuanmingyuan is different.

He built a secret passage in his residence in the Old Summer Palace.

Every time they called the sticky pole to discuss matters, they came and went freely through the secret passage.

In this way, it will not be noticeable and it will be much easier to handle things.

Ruoyin listened to what fourth master said, it seemed that he deliberately rushed for her birthday?

Hearing that he mentioned political affairs, she said worriedly: "Your Majesty, we are all out, what about the affairs of the court, who will take care of the harem?"

"You still have a little conscience and know how to think for me." The fourth master poked her on the forehead and said lightly: "I have already dealt with the important political affairs. The rest will be handed over to Thirteenth Brother and Zhang Tingyu to supervise the country. Brothers will learn from them, of course, if there is any important matter, they will send a letter to me."

When he ascended the throne, he took care of all affairs of the court, no matter how big or small.

He reviewed and commented on all the papers presented, whether big or small.

This situation was maintained until the queen was confined to the Taimiao.

At that time, he was not at ease when the Queen's affairs were left to others to handle.

But if you do it yourself, you don't have time.

So he suspended his daily court visit and went to Yuanmingyuan.

It was also from that time that he realized that his way of handling political affairs was not appropriate.

Otherwise, if it continues like this, he will review memorials every day besides reviewing memorials.

No time to care about anything else.

From then on, he handed over the general chores to Shisan and Zhang Tingyu.

He only handles important matters in person.

"As for the matter in the harem, I have told Madam Xie that she will supervise the concubines in the harem during your absence, and she will pass on the letter no matter what happens or not."

"That's great!" Ruoyin said happily.

At first, she felt that she came out too suddenly, and no one was in charge of the harem, so she felt a little guilty.

Now that she is supervised by Madam Xie, she can rest assured.

Otherwise, it would not be a problem to hand it over to anyone in the harem.

Nanny Xie is fourth master's nanny.

From Qiandi, Ruoyin and fourth master trusted him.

Leave it to her, there must be no problem.

In fact, this kind of thing is supposed to be handed over to the Queen Mother.

But who makes the Queen Mother confused, so whoever trusts her.

Moreover, many princes in the royal family were not brought up by their biological mothers, but by their nurses.

As a result, the princes were not close to their biological mothers, but to their nurses.

Therefore, the queen mother has not been close to the fourth master since she was a child.

On the contrary, Mammy Xie, who has been by Fourth Master's side not long since Fourth Master was born.

And the fourth master asked Shisan and Zhang Tingyu to supervise the country, so that the fourth master could spare time to tour the south without delaying political affairs.

As for the elder brothers, we can learn a lot by learning how to deal with political affairs together.

In addition, fourth master is not biased, so the elder brothers can get along with each other more harmoniously.

Otherwise, it is easy to let the biased one become the target of public criticism.

And compared to other elder brothers, the eldest elder brother and the second elder brother are brothers, and the two can help each other.

Besides, the elder brother is the eldest son, and the other elder brothers have to respect him when they see him.

If Ruoyin thought about it further, he remembered fifth prince.

The original good mood immediately became excited.

"By the way, there is fifth elder brother, why didn't we bring him with us when we came out this time!"

The elder brother and the second elder brother are in school, so it's okay to focus on their studies.

But the fifth elder brother is still young, and it's not time to study.

If you don't take him this time, when he grows up a bit, he will go to school, and there will be no chance.

"Fifth elder brother is still young. He has been in the capital since he was born. If he follows us on a southern tour, he will inevitably be unaccustomed to the environment. Besides, he will be very tired as a child."

"..." Ruoyin pouted, still finding it hard to accept.

Outside the car, Su Peisheng couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth when he heard fourth master's words.

Why does he have the feeling that the emperor's true love for the queen is only accidental?

Seeing that Ruoyin was unhappy, fourth master continued: "Besides, I have to deal with some political affairs along the way when I come out this time. It's inconvenient and not safe to bring children with me."

Hearing this, Ruoyin gave up the idea of ​​bringing fifth elder brother out.

But soon, another idea came to her.

"Your Majesty, did you bring your concubine with you just to go south? Or did you come out to do business along the way because you promised your concubine!"

Although he is the emperor, it is impossible for him to abandon the country for her.

But this order has to be figured out so that she can put herself in the right place.

"I promised you first, but as the emperor, I can't take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers, but ignore the Qing Dynasty. How can I be worthy of the people and the land left by my ancestors!"

"Understood, the concubine is just asking casually."

She thought he was mainly engaged in political affairs, so she asked this question.

Now that he said that, she knew it.

This time, she is not his accessory.

Ruoyin opened the curtain of the car and found that it was completely bright.

However, the moment she opened the car curtain, she suddenly found traces of a figure moving in the forest.

She quickly put down the curtain of the car, pointed to the outside, and said in shock, "Your Majesty, it seems that someone is following us."

Fourth Master lifted the curtain of the car to take a look casually, and said casually: "Don't be afraid, they are all our own people, and those are the secret guards to protect our safety."

"Your Majesty, why don't they let them protect us openly?" Ruoyin asked puzzled.

"This southern tour, I didn't announce it in the court, but I used it as an excuse to devote myself to studying Buddhism in the Old Summer Palace."

"Why?"

"I don't want to go to various places for inspections, otherwise some local officials will create a superficial phenomenon of peace and prosperity after they know that I have arrived."

Ruoyin: "..."

"You don't know, Huang Kao made several southern tours, and those local officials used tricks to know that he was going to a place. Even if there were refugees there, they would drive them away. When Huang Kao went, what he saw was that the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. The phenomenon."

"It wasn't until one time when the weather changed and the itinerary was changed temporarily that those people didn't make false appearances in time, he didn't see the truth."

"That's why Huang Kao once told me that if you want to do a good inspection, you have to conduct private visits and conduct surprise inspections. Those who are inspected in that way will be the real people of a party and can solve the problem fundamentally."

"Otherwise the real suffering is the common people, and they have no place to tell or expose their suffering."

"Oh." Ruoyin nodded suddenly.

"Moreover, it is clear that inspections require a large number of entourages and guards. In the long run, it will consume a lot of manpower, material and financial resources. This will not only fail to inspect the real situation, but also waste court resources. It is really not worth the candle."

"Yes." Ruoyin gave Fourth Master a thumbs up, expressing his agreement, "The emperor is right."

She remembered that Emperor Kangxi made six tours to the south in history, and each tour was a large number of people.

The emptiness of the national treasury in the later period has more or less something to do with this.

Because every southern tour has to build a palace one year in advance, and also bring a large number of civil and military ministers on tour.

As a result, after Emperor Yongzheng ascended the throne, the treasury was empty, and it was impossible to spend money on southern tours.

Later, it was hard to enrich the national treasury, but because of the exhaustion of diligent administration, there was no chance even if he wanted to make a southern tour.

Therefore, leaving a substantial treasury was enough for his son, Emperor Qianlong.

Following the example of Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong also toured the south six times and visited the south of the Yangtze River twelve times.

The money saved by his father's hard work and frugality was spent on the southern tour alone, which cost more than 20 million taels of silver.

But in this life, it seems that Hongli has not yet been written, let alone Qianlong.

And "Dream of Red Mansions" said by Madam Zhao: "Our Jia family is supervising the construction of sea boats and repairing sea ponds in the Yangzhou area of ​​Gusu, and we are only going to pick them up once. We spend our money like a sea water!"

It can be said that Emperor Kangxi's southern tour was the main cause of the large deficit of the Cao family.

"Dream of Red Mansions" said, "There is also the Zhen family in Jiangnan today, ouch, good-looking faction! Only his family picked up four times. If we didn't see it with our own eyes, no one would believe it if we told it. Don't say that the money has become mud, Since there is everything in the world, there is nothing that is not piled up in mountains and seas, and the words 'sin is a pity' can't be taken care of."

All of the above, Ruoyin thought that fourth master didn't want to waste the resources of the treasury, let alone let the common people take over and drag them down.

At this moment, Fourth Master, who was originally serious about political affairs, suddenly leaned on her shoulder and sniffed her hair.

Then, he whispered in her ear: "Yinyin, this is my first southern tour after I ascended the throne. I want to go with you and take another good look at my country."

"..." It sounded like he would never be an emperor again.

In other words, it was like the words of a terminally ill emperor.

"Your Majesty..." Ruoyin held his lips, but before she could say anything, Fourth Master gently placed his fingertips on her lips, signaling her to stop talking and listen to him, " This time, there is no emperor and queen, just me and you, Yinzhen and Ruoyin."

Hearing this, Ruoyin froze in place.

"Your Majesty..." Ruoyin spoke again.

However, he was interrupted by the fourth master again: "You idiot, the master just said, it's only you and me, why are you calling him the emperor?"

"Fourth Master." Ruoyin changed his words in time.

The man still shook his head and said dissatisfiedly, "Call me by my name." His voice was low and magnetic.
