Chapter 351 Bertha's Seal
Amilia heard the palace maids say that the biggest rule in the palace was to revolve around the emperor, which was exactly what she wanted. She thought that today was all done by her master. Otherwise, with her civilian status and a widowed woman, how could she have the opportunity to be in the world? Now that Zhang Ziqiang ascended the throne and became emperor, he has reached the peak and should enjoy it in the future.
She used to be accustomed to calculating carefully and was a little confused about money, but after hearing the words of the palace maids, she realized that the family would no longer be short of money. She was supported by the people of a country, but was still afraid that the family would decline? Finally, she changed her mind and prepared to put down the financial power in her hands and throw them all to Kailin, manage the harem with peace of mind, and be a competent queen.
When Bossa broke into the palace, she was talking to Zhang Ziqiang. Seeing Bossa crying, she hurriedly asked, "Little sister, why are you trying to get it? Who bullied you?"
Bossa pointed at Zhang Ziqiang who was drinking tea and said crying: "It's just my second brother-in-law bullied me, and my second sister has to make the decision for me!"
"Cough, cough..." Zhang Ziqiang was not careful, and his mouth full of tea sprayed out, choking and coughing. If others heard this, it would be a big deal. Amilia's face darkened and she shouted awkwardly: "What are you talking nonsense? You are all mothers, and you still have such no sense of speaking. How can Your Majesty bully you?"
"Today, my second brother-in-law rewarded all the ministers, and everyone has something to gain. Only my younger sister's master has no title or official position. I think that my second brother-in-law made the decision to make a marriage for me, otherwise I would be the imperial concubine now. That would be fine. I just thought I was not so lucky. Unexpectedly, after listening to my second brother-in-law's arrangement, my master was not as good as those outsiders in the first place. Now that I have ended up like this, I am ridiculed for nothing. How can I raise my head in front of others? What is this not bullying?"
Loran only told Zhang Ziqiang and Karin about Billy and Karin. Of course, Zhang Ziqiang would not talk too much about this to Amilia. Karin was also ashamed to speak, so Amilia was completely unaware of it. She also reacted when she heard what Bosha said, and asked in surprise: "Oh, that's true. The master of the little sister has a good personality and is very careful. He is also a person who can do things. It turns out that when he was in Kuras City, he helped Karin a lot. Your Majesty, have you forgotten that you were too busy recently?"
Zhang Ziqiang was even more embarrassed. Bilde Tiane and Bertha’s personal life was corrupt. How could he speak at this time? He had to calm down and coughed slightly and looked at Bertha with a smile and said, “Bill is the only duke of the empire, and he is also the prime minister. He has been in Rosidine for so many years and has no shortage of money. You can also take half of his family. Even Bilde has no title. Who can underestimate you? There is really that unhappy person. It’s not too late to find your second sister to make decisions for you.”
Of course, Bossa could understand this. How could she just take half of her home? She was the one who belonged to her. This meant that Zhang Ziqiang knew all about her and promised her that if she was really bullied by outsiders, she could go to the palace to find Amilia. Not being able to give her the title of Billyde was just dissatisfied with Billyde himself, not targeting her.
After thinking about this, Betha's face turned red, and suddenly there was fog in her eyes. She thought that her second brother-in-law was still taking good care of her, and she did not vent her anger for her, and her voice suddenly became much smaller.
"Second brother-in-law, as the saying goes, wife is noble. Although Billyde has no ability, he is careful in his work and treats me very well. The old man in the family loves me very much. He also asks my second brother-in-law to not let them lose face in front of outsiders for my sake. Even if they only have a title and no real position, there is a remark outside."
Zhang Ziqiang looked at Baisha deeply, and then said, "I think you have a lot of skills, keep your family in an orderly manner, and are versatile in dealing with people. In the court, Clara was the first to be the title, and Kailin was the prince of the country. Why not just give you a title and let Kailin give you another official position, wouldn't it be more respectful?"
When Bosha heard this, she was moved. How could her master be the title of her own? If she could get the title, she would be very glorious in front of all the ladies! She couldn't help but feel unstable by these words. She thought a lot in her heart. After a while, she said: "Your Majesty, let's enthrone my master. If I get the title and my master is white, he will make people laugh. I have nothing to ask for. I just hope to live a rich life and not lose my second sister's face in front of others."
She blinked and said, "Although my master is a little deficient, he has been treating me well since he married himself. He is gentle by nature, is patient and careful in doing things, is kind to the common people, is good at coordinating interpersonal relationships, and is not worse than others even when he is an official. I can make up for his shortcomings by myself, and I am not dissatisfied with this matter... I am not dissatisfied with this matter."
Although Amilia was on the side, she didn't understand why Zhang Ziqiang suddenly disliked Billy and treated Bill well, she felt that Bethsha's words were reasonable and persuaded her.
Zhang Ziqiang sighed in his heart. Billyde lied to Bertha first, and Bertha's private life was not deliberate. However, when facing temptation, she could stand the test. Billyde was the first in everything. This was much stronger than most of the money-worshiping women on earth. As for her private life, it was the internal affairs of his couple. I knew the cold and warmth, so why should outsiders interfere?
"Since that's the case, you go and find Kalyn. The enthronement was her idea."
Bossa's face was happy. Kailin had a good relationship with her aunt. If Kailin was really the leader of the enthronement, then the matter would be done. She hurriedly thanked Zhang Ziqiang and his wife and went happily to find Kailin. After she left, Amilia asked Zhang Ziqiang about the reason, but was disconnected by Zhang Ziqiang with other words. Amilia was also a simple person. Seeing that Zhang Ziqiang refused to say more, the matter was solved, so she stopped asking more questions.
It was only later that Zhang Ziqiang learned that Bellsha didn't know how he told Kaylin. In short, Billy was renamed a second-class nephew and appointed as the prime minister. Old Billy and Billy were both smiling in front of others, and were more concerned about state affairs. Everything in the clan was decided by Bellsha. Later, after Old Billy's death, Billy was diligent in doing things, often for the sake of public opinion, and commended the Ministry of Personnel many times. Finally, he became the governor and subsequently ascended Billy's throne as the Duke.
Bertha was versatile and was notarized in the family. Everyone in the clan was convinced. The family grew stronger and stronger under her control. Although she had no fiefdom, her financial resources were not less than those in the Dover family. Later, Bertha had two sons and one daughter, and they were all loved by Billyde. During his tenure, all of his children were with him and taught him personally. After becoming an adult, they were all talented and had successors in the family. Bertha often advised Billyde in government affairs. Billyde was as good as a stream of good performance. His tenure was evaluated in the past year. He was a good official and his family had a good wife. Everyone in the empire knew.
Of course, these are all later stories. Zhang Ziqiang ignored everything on the second day of his founding of the country. At the beginning of the Daqing period, he could still attend court every day, sitting upright on the throne like a wooden carving. He left Kailin to handle state affairs. If there were any disputes, he would support him. After the court was dispersed, he would return to the harem to live in seclusion.
After more than a month, he would not attend the court meeting. He only read three memorials every day. Kalyn would write a briefing on the court affairs. Rochester controlled the examination office and there was also a memorial every day. Bill Day was reported, but it was reported by all ministers. He only paid attention to the important matters. Occasionally, Dover and Gabriel would also give him memorials, most of which were asking questions about business operations.
Clara often handed him a jade slip. Most of the jade slips were chores and family matters. Only at the end would she talk about the state affairs and their opinions that she had heard from the old ministers of Bo Wick and her opinions, but she would mostly tell her in one sentence. Whenever Zhang Ziqiang received such a jade slip, he would reply in person, or comment on the matter, or ask her to talk to the old ministers of Bo Wick and let them do things with them. Even if they had nothing to do, they would reply: "I understand," and then return the original jade slip.
The Clara sisters regarded every jade slip like this as a treasure in their home. Although Zhang Ziqiang was generous and had the spirit of a benevolent monarch, their Burwick clan was a surrendered minister after all. In their opinion, these jade slips might allow the family to escape at some point.
The days passed as if they were warm and devoured water. The subjects of the Yanhuang Empire gradually got used to having a queen, but the queen was the queen, which was just a special case of the royal family. The imbalance between men and women in the Yanhuang Empire was still very serious, and the status of women among the people did not improve at all.
During his administration, Kalyn discovered that women's governmental abilities are indeed worse than men. She was cultivated by Zhang Ziqiang for many years and was also very different from Rochester. Therefore, after she was in power, she did not clamor for the same thing as when she was a governor before.
But she was thinking wrongly. Who is Rochester? He is a genius who is rare in a thousand years. The important officials she contacts every day are all old birds, as slippery as loaches. Not to mention women, how many people can compare with men?
The Yanhuang Empire comforted the people's hearts at home, sluggish taxes and service, vigorously developed workshops and businesses, and still followed the old path of Rositing County back then, making good friends with all countries outside and remained neutral among the countries on the mainland. However, the Al Empire regarded itself as a vassal state of the Yanhuang Empire, so Kailin took care of it. Some of the business in the Yanhuang family in their country were still handed over to agents of several major families and began to cooperate with the royal family.
Kailin has a stable foothold. In the eyes of the subjects of the Yanhuang Empire and the mainland countries, she is the actual ruler of the Yanhuang Empire. No matter who is in power in the empire, as long as it can bring them a good life, it is a good emperor. Therefore, Kailin gradually became loved by her subjects and ignored the fact that she was a daughter.
Corresponding to Kailin, in the eyes of the mainland countries, Zhang Ziqiang's reputation is not so good. Since he ascended the throne and became emperor, he has been obsessed with the harem and ignored the government...
