Chapter 14: Li Xin, Your Incident Has Happened!
This big-character poster, the first few lines are no problem, it is nothing more than an inconspicuous charcoal seller's tragedy, not to mention the whole world, even in this capital, I don't know how many people will die every day, just burn a house, it is impossible to enter the eyes of the Son of Heaven.
The problem lies in the last two sentences.
Because it is the Son of Heaven who hunts the North Mountain, he burns the old man and curls up.
The Son of Heaven is holy and virtuous, and the old man froze to death in the North Mountain.
These two sentences are already clearly criticizing the Son of Heaven.
When Emperor Chengde was checking this big-character poster, the red-clothed eunuch knelt down and said: "This thing was posted on the street of the capital the night before yesterday, and a total of dozens of pieces were pasted, although the people of Jingzhao Mansion have sent people to collect these things, but they still circulated some ......."
At this time, the Son of Heaven finished reading this big-character poster, immediately frowned, and said, "Is it true?" ”
The eunuch kneeling on the ground is named Dong Cheng, who is the eunuch of Tianmu Prison, and the "eunuch" here is actually a position, and each of the eight eunuchs in the imperial city has a eunuch and two young eunuchs, that is to say, there are only eight eunuchs in the entire imperial city, who are qualified to be called eunuchs.
Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slave and maid have already sent someone to investigate, there is indeed a wooden house in Beishan that was burned by the people of Jingzhao Mansion, as for whether Jingzhao Mansion is in the name of the master, the slave and maid have not yet found out." ”
Emperor Chengde glanced at this big-character poster with good handwriting, and said indifferently: "Most of the Jingzhao Mansion did it, otherwise the person who wrote this thing would not dare to climb on my head for no reason, Li Ye has been doing things more and more inappropriately in the past few years." ”
After the Great Jin Dynasty opened up the territory from Emperor Wu, he ruled in the hands of the current Emperor Chengde, so the reputation of this Son of Heaven has always been very good, and now that he is getting older, he cherishes his reputation even more, even if it is his favorite hunting, he only goes once a year to prevent being gossiped by those imperial historians.
Now there is such a thing, which means that today's saints, in order to hunt in Beishan, have burned down the houses of their people, and they want to force their people to die in the cold winter wax moon!
Many things, as long as they don't make a big fuss, it's easy to say anything, just like this matter, if there is no rumor, Emperor Chengde won't look at it, but now this matter has spread in the capital.
Jingzhao Mansion at the feet of the Son of Heaven personally poured dirty water on his head!
The good mood of the Great Jin Emperor was instantly disturbed, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Go and investigate, check this matter inside and out, and in addition, let Jingzhao Mansion give me a document to explain this matter clearly." ”
Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven paused, then held this big-character poster in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "The charcoal seller who burned down the house is pitiful, but the person who wrote this thing is also punishable, after you go down, find this person out of me, throw him into Jingzhao Mansion and lock him up for ten years and eight years!" ”
Dong Cheng got up from the ground, bowed down and said, "Slave and maid, let's do it." ”
When the matter came to this point, Emperor Chengde was already in no interest, and he said to a white-haired old eunuch behind him: "Tell me to go down, don't do this year's hunt." ”
Among the eight eunuchs in the inner city of the imperial palace, the highest status is the inner eunuch, who is responsible for the affairs of the imperial city, and the eunuch who is the inner eunuch is also called the great eunuch. And the old eunuch standing behind Emperor Chengde is the chief eunuch of the inner chamberlain, surnamed Chen Mingju, who has been in the palace for more than 40 years.
It is worth mentioning that the Great Jin Dynasty has been founded for more than 100 years, but more than 30 years ago, a generation of Emperor Wu worked hard to dominate the world.
Even when Dong Cheng saw Chen Ju, he also wanted to kowtow and call his godfather.
Chen Ju knelt down, bowed his head and kowtowed: "Dong Cheng is ignorant, he disturbs His Majesty's temperament, and he is an old slave who has no way to discipline him." ”
Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "He is in charge of the Tianmu Prison, and what he does is this kind of thing, I can't let him turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, it's good that I know, otherwise the people will poke my backbone in the back in the future, and I don't know it." ”
Chen Ju kowtowed and said: "This matter, the old slave will personally go to watch it, and he must give His Majesty an explanation." ”
Emperor Chengde nodded, and did not want to stay in the school yard any longer, so he turned around and went back to his dormitory.
In fact, Li Xin's original purpose was just to slightly deter the Pingnan Hou Mansion and make them no longer embarrassed themselves, but this matter has developed far beyond the scale that Li Xin can control.
However, Li Xin still didn't know everything, because he had no source of income for the proud building, and he recently began to think of new ways to make money.
So, in his small yard, a small grill was propped up, and the grill was made of fire-resistant bamboo charcoal, and then pieces of mutton were skewered with bamboo skewers, and the lamb was brushed with a layer of sesame oil, and then sprinkled with a layer of salt and pepper, and in a few moments, an enticing aroma wafted out.
The charcoal girl sat next to Li Xin with her knees hugged, drooling all over the place.
These things, whether it is mutton, sesame oil, salt powder or pepper from the Western Regions, are not cheap things in this era, the little girl naturally has not eaten it, Li Xin saw that it was almost baked, took a string from the grill and handed it to the little girl.
"Here, taste it."
The little girl wiped her saliva, took the mutton skewers, took a bite carefully, then stood up, trotted into the room, handed the skewers to her grandfather's mouth, and said crisply: "Grandpa, this is delicious." ”
This girl has always been very sensible, and Li Xin is not surprised by this situation, he also picked up a string of mutton skewers, put it to his mouth and took a bite, and suddenly felt fragrant.
Well...... Although it is not as delicious as those roadside stalls in the previous life, the taste is almost seventy or eighty percent, with these, not to mention making a lot of money, at least the three of them can survive in the capital.
After Li Xin finished eating a bunch, he picked up another bunch and squinted his eyes to enjoy this long-lost taste.
In fact, he came up with this thing, naturally on the one hand, to make money, but on the other hand, it was also to satisfy his appetite.
After eating two or three skewers, Li Xin looked back at the leg of mutton he had bought with a lot of money, this leg of mutton was a little more than four catties, and with his entire money, it was estimated that he could make about 100 to 150 skewers of mutton skewers, plus the cost of sesame oil, pepper, salt, etc., a string of mutton skewers would be sold for at least ten cents or more, and he would be able to make money.
Ten cents...... It's too expensive.
Li Xin shook his head, ready to be a profiteer and make the mutton skewers smaller.
When he was thinking about how to make money, there was a sudden knock at the door of the courtyard, Li Xingang looked up at the courtyard gate, and only heard someone at the gate of the courtyard smiling heartily.
"Li Xin, your incident has happened!"
Li Xin tightened, thinking that someone from Jingzhao Mansion came to the door, he gritted his teeth and opened the courtyard door, only to find that the person standing at the gate of the courtyard was not a poor person from Jingzhao Mansion, but a young man in white, this son looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was quite heroic, after seeing Li Xin open the door, this son looked Li Xin up and down, and then said with a smile: "You are Li Xin?" ”
Li Xin nodded stubbornly, hugged his fists and said: "It's Li Xin below, may I ask the son......"
The man in white was smiling, and he just wanted to speak back, when suddenly his nose sniffed, and his complexion changed slightly.
"What does it taste like...... It smells so good! ”
