063 Chapter 3 Let the Dragon Crown
Feng Bao hurriedly said: "How dare a slave contradict the emperor." It's just a little persuasion. β
Long Qing smiled: "Brother." You don't know. Yongting is very effective. The shuttle between inside and outside the palace. He is indispensable. I didn't treat him as an outsider. In the court. There are a lot of rules and regulations. It was after I ascended to the throne. On the contrary, I feel that I am not as comfortable as I used to be Yuwang. Follow these people around you. It's also good to get along with Yongting. Chat and have fun together. All happy. So a lot of the time. It's not informal. Don't underestimate him. He didn't miss a lot of it. The writing is good. I also have experience in appreciating Danqing [Xianmo: Xiaobao is the person who has left a mark on the Qingming Shanghe map]. Occasional suggestions. All make sense. Much more than some confused ministers. β
Feng Bao knelt down and kowtowed: "The emperor's praise is too much." Slaves really don't dare to be. The emperor is lenient and friendly. Jarner has always been kind to him. Listen to hundreds of schools. The ancient Ming Jun is also inferior. And treat the grace of the slave to the heavens and the earth. Slaves dare not bow to the best. β
Long Qing waved his hand and said, "Get up." My father has been cultivating for many years. I see it, too. A man who lives a hundred years will die at the end of his life. Become a Buddha and become an immortal. It's all ethereal. People are people. You can't see everything clearly. There are still benefits to listening to persuasion. β
Feng Baodao: "The emperor is sage." And this donkey ......"
Long Qing said: "Let the donkey go." I'm not bad for that bite. The people need it to farm. β
Chang Sihao thought to himself: "Isn't he quite clear about being the emperor?" It's not like cutting tofu with a knife. It looks like it's really the same as Xiaoyu said Hai Rui. How many people have never even seen the emperor. Just sit at home and scold. I haven't seen Hai Jui either. shouted Hai Qingtian in his mouth. Zheng Mengzhu said that officials of the DPRK and China should verify their names. But this emperor's name is real. But who should check it? "The impression of this sour emperor. It's getting better and better. [Xianmo: still tender]
Outside, Sun Xiaochi, the chief of the newspaper, came in. Long Qing was right. The door opened. The eldest grandson smiled and strode in. Wears a black gauze crown on his head. changed into a yellow brocade robe. Fish and dragons leap over the sea. Silver thread weaves clouds. Tie a wide jade belt around the waist. Profit and order. Come near and give a salute. Long Qing hurriedly stood up and gave up his seat. How could the eldest grandson Xiaochi sit on the main seat. Fight for it. Sit on the right. Long Qing ordered the food to be passed on. The food and drinks are served like water. Long Qing acted first with chopsticks. personally started to pick up vegetables for the eldest grandson Xiaochi.
The eldest grandson smiled and responded politely. But I didn't eat much. Chang Sihao looked at the standing ear on his hat and smiled: "Who chose your hat." It's like a rabbit. β
Liu Jinwu's face changed slightly. Only Emperor Longqing and the eldest grandson Xiaochi wore this hat in this house. The difference. is that there are two more dragons on the emperor's hat. Not much difference. He said, "Like a rabbit too." That naturally means that the emperor is like a rabbit. Speak so. I'm afraid that no matter how much head I grow, it's not enough to cut off. Look to the side. Feng Bao observed the emperor's expression. There was no action.
Long Qing laughed. said: "Brother doesn't know. This is called the Wing Shan Guan. By your statement. I think they look like rabbit ears. It's just a little smaller. He flicked his finger on the ear of his hat. [Xianmo: Action banter is meaningful]
Chang Sihao said: "I see. I watched the emperor's hat shining brightly. It's so much better than you guys. Long Qing smiled: "That kind of hat is also available." However, it is not for everyday wear. It's a ghost. It is only worn when buried. On the stage, it is a fake play. The living play the dead. Therefore you must put on the garments of the dead. Otherwise, as soon as he comes to power, he will violate the rules and go against the law. The stage became a guillotine. β
Chang Sihao said: "It turns out that singing still has these exquisiteness. This is the first time I've heard of it. I thought our treasury was tight. Those with beads and jade. You've exchanged it for money. Long Qing and the eldest grandson laughed lately. Although Feng Bao and Liu Jinwu knew that he was not hiding his mouth. But it's not easy to care. can only be accompanied by a smile.
Long Qing laughed. I seem to think of something. His face was slightly condensed. It's really sad. He stopped his chopsticks and sighed, "Alas." At that time, my father was cultivating Jiao Zhai. Bought a lot of gemstones. All taught those stinky Taoist priests to be deceived. It costs a thousand taels of gold to burn a green word. The charcoal money burned by the light alchemy. In a year, it will be 200,000 taels of silver. Treasury Days. Even now, it is even more difficult to make ends meet. Since I ascended the throne. That's what worries all day. Alas. The ability to govern the country. I'm so bad. Brother Huang. Now that you're back. We will be saved. Come on, come on. Let's change our hats. It's up to you to be the emperor. As he spoke, he took off the crown of twin dragon wings on his head. got up and handed it to the eldest grandson Xiaochi with both hands. [Xianmo: It's true or false. There is a front and a back in the article. If there is no "stretching the eyebrows" in the previous chapter. It's hard to fathom here. Read it out. You will know whether this place is true or false. If the previous chapter is not read. The action in this chapter also hints: Long Qing laughs. Gently stretch out your fingers to flick the cap ear. Ho also. Three words: play ears. The homonym is: joking about the ear. This is a small hint arranged by the author outside the text. You can know after the play. What follows is all joke. γ
The move came suddenly. Liu Jinwu and Feng Bao were stunned. The eldest grandson Xiaochi hurriedly stood up and said, "No." "Don't blurt it out. My mind went blank. His eyes looked at the two golden dragons on the crown. But I seem to have seen all kinds of things in Jiangnan over the years. Gather wealth on your own. Painstaking efforts. Everything you do. Isn't it still the same hat? Now it's right in front of you. If you come over. Another day, the edict will be issued to the world. The brothers perform the ritual of meditation. The world will be in your own hands. However...... Liverless tears, King Jing's self-harm and other things also surfaced at the same time. Looking at Feng Bao and Liu Jinwu again, their expressions were stunned. Suspicious eyes. I don't know how the ministers of the court and others will think of themselves, the prince of Mourning back then. There will inevitably be a battle between the dragons and the tigers. Little mourning, little mourning. You were already a dead man. What are you fighting for in this world? Could it be that even Concubine Lu Jing can see through it. You can't see through it yourself.
He thought about it. The mind has been decided. The hat in the eye. It's just a hat. with other crowns. There is no difference [Xianmo: Actually, there is no difference. It's just a sigh that everyone can't see through it]. said: "Your Majesty." Imperial power is child's play. This must not be done. β
Long Qing said: "My brother was named the crown prince back then. This throne was yours. The younger brother is just returning the things to their original owners. Why should my brother refuse. β
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Your Majesty." Could it be that you still have doubts about being a minister. β
Long Qing hurriedly said: "No, no, no." Never. His face turned bitter: "Alas." Eldest brother. I mean it sincerely. Speaking of which, this emperor is really too difficult to be. Today this one says that the Great Wall will be built. Ask for money. Tomorrow the one will say that there will be a big flood. Ask for money. The day after tomorrow, there will be another famine. Also ask for money. Either makes sense. Ignore any of them. But I can't afford any of them. People in the world are not having a good time. It's all on me. What can I do. I can't get the money. I had to save myself. It has only been a year since he ascended the throne. How will the rest of the days be lived? I'm in my heart. There really wasn't a crack at all. Yongting. You are well aware of the affairs of the DPRK and China. Tell me about it. I just said that. It's not true. [Xianmo: I'm afraid that people won't believe it. Pull some others to corroborate. But Lafonbao is no different. Feng Nai's internal minister. State affairs are in sight. This is clearly contrary to the rules and common sense. The closer you get, the more disadvantageous it becomes. I know that this is not just to confess the poverty of the country. It's just one stroke with two strokes. Point Feng to protect the power and disclose the inside of the court]
Feng Bao's face is difficult [Xianmo: The difficult color is to understand its power. The emperor is accustomed to nature. I don't feel pressure. How can Feng be stress-free]. But the emperor asked. I have to answer. I had to bow down and answer, "Yes." What the emperor said is indeed not a lie. Turning to the eldest grandson, Xiaochi: "The emperor made an order as early as the beginning of the year. Cook only six dishes per meal a day. Empress Chen's meal is four. Li Guifei: They all have three dishes and one soup. The prince and princess each dined with their mother [Xianmo: This is indeed the case in Longqing in history. Why. When he was the king of Yu, he was poor. Know that life is not easy. γγ I just talked to Chitose about the lack of livestock work on the border. He also ordered the donkeys raised in the palace to be released. In fact, you can't save a lot of money by saving money like this. It's just that the emperor is considerate of the people......"
"Wait. Chang Sihao thought to himself, in fact, it is not a lot to eat six dishes for one person. But after all, the emperor is different from ordinary people. The Qin Mansion has more banquets than yours. Isn't the royal family as good as the rich people? No way. Interception asked, "What are the six dishes that the emperor ate this morning?" β
Feng Bao briefly recalled. Said: "Back to Chitose." What the emperor eats in the morning is the golden dragon stirring the jade sea, the eight treasures and the blue mandarin duck, the phoenix singing the world is white, and the heaven and earth are immortal and spring...... [Xianmo: After dinner, there are a few who remember what they ate in the morning. Really serve people and serve them well. Now I can report it. It shows that the arrangement of serving food in the morning has been thought through. γ
Chang Sihao stopped. Sneered: "Okay, okay." Emperor. You eat these things so preciously. Six dishes for one meal. I'm afraid I won't have to spend a hundred and ten taels of silver. Long Qing said: "We have this dish on the table." Pointing to a disc: "This is the golden dragon stirring the jade sea." Chang Sihao looked at it. The dish in the disc was like a sea of clouds in the dunes. Its color is like jade. Steaming. Xuan Mian is like a yarn. There were several slender dragons running around it. Golden silk scales. Shine under the lights. It's really like a sea of clouds and a dragon. It's good-looking. He stretched out his chopsticks and took a "golden dragon" and put it in his mouth to taste it. Feel crispy skin and tender meat. Slightly fishy. I put a little "cloud mud" in my mouth. It feels moderately sweet and salty. Soft and greasy. Although it tastes good. But they couldn't eat anything.
Feng Baodao: "This little dragon is fried with loach fish hanging batter. The sea of clouds is steamed yam puree. The emperor felt that it was too expensive for people to send fresh fish to the palace. These loaches were dug by the cooks of the Imperial Dining Room on the beach in the West Garden. β
There are three giant lakes in the north, middle and south in the West Garden. It is called the North Sea, the Middle Sea, and the South China Sea. The round island where Chang Sihao was located before was Nantai [Xianmo: the place where Guangxu was imprisoned in the Qing Dynasty]. It's in the center of the South China Sea. After Feng Bao and Long Qing's explanation. He still found it hard to believe. I asked a few more dishes. Long Qing pointed out one by one. It turns out that the eight treasures of the blue mandarin duck are stewed sparrows with rape. The eight treasures are jujubes, red beans and other things. That phoenix sings the world white. It's chicken head boiled tofu...... These dishes have good names. Although the shape is beautifully done. But the raw materials are ordinary. A lot of it is made from local sources. The loaches are dug by cooks. The sparrows were covered by the palace maids with a sieve in the snow......
The more Chang Sihao listened, the more outrageous he felt. to the future. I was so angry. I thought to myself, "You can talk about it." It's almost like plowing and farming in the palace. Lao Tzu has never seen the world again. I won't fall for this. [Xianmo: It's not just that Xiaochang doesn't believe it. The emperor's family is like this. No one would believe it. However, in history, Longqing did have a thrifty move. Including Concubine Li's three dishes and one soup, those are the real quotas. The author has put a lot of effort into the evidence. Biased to reverse here. It was the ingenuity to brush the gold and powder for Longqing, and he also stretched out his hand to stop him. Shaking his head, he said, "Okay, good." Gotta get it. Emperor. Don't cry here to be poor. I also ate this meal. You think of me as a brother. Chang Sihao can't climb high. Let's leave it at that. I've got a lot of food. If you eat too much, you will feel distressed again. Hungry for a meal. You can't get it. β
Long Qing was so anxious that he stomped his feet and said, "You." Why don't you believe it? Think about it. I want to be rich. Can you give the artillery on the head of the city a general? β
Chang Sihao was stunned. said: "What does it matter. β
Long Qing wrenched his fingers: "If I make someone a general." How much does this get in a year? And that's not all. One more big official. He has to have someone under him. The higher the officer. The more people there are. It's a long string. Everyone eats my salary. What is left of my treasury? β
Chang Sihao was puzzled: "What kind of fire consumption." β
Liu Jinwu said: "Fire consumption is the interception of taxes by officials at all levels. Obviously collected a hundred dollars. Twenty are deducted by yourself. Turn in eighty. The superior deducted another twenty. Turn in sixty. And so on until it goes into the treasury. There's not much left. The army deducts military salaries according to the ranks. It is even more commonplace. It's also a fire consumption. [Xianmo: The army eats more empty quotas and is more powerful]
The Ming Dynasty did not have a unified central finance. Each ministry has its own accounts. Military expenses are also often deducted from local finances. It is not allocated by the central government. The audit aspect is also non-existent. Therefore, the financial aspect has always been chaotic and disorderly. A bunch of warehouses in place. The palace has a single storehouse. Do something. They asked for money from each other. Chang Sihao doesn't understand this. I thought to myself: "What Liu Jinwu said is true. I was in the army back then. Master Cheng, that's extremely incorruptible. But the people at the bottom were fishing for things. It's still necessary to rub some and occupy some. Even the old guys who cooked at the head of our gang said, 'The cook doesn't steal.' The grain is not harvested'. I've got the food ready. You have to take a bite first. It can be seen that it is the most normal thing to fill your pockets. In fact, the country is the pot. Who doesn't desperately scoop meat into their own bowls? [Xianmo: It's a joke.] It's true. It's the truth. Today, the company loses the pen every day. Brush down the printer paper. Why. Treat the company as a pot. The company is like that. This is especially true of the state. The emperor is bored in the palace every day. This big tomorrow says that it belongs to his family. Not quite. β
He thought for a moment. Nodding. said, "Okay." I believed. But as the old saying goes. Eat endlessly. Drink endlessly. If you can't calculate, you will be poor. You save it. The hole waits. One day and one place. A shot of water. Isn't it still no money? β
Longqing is raised in the deep palace. I've never heard of his local dialects. After pondering it, I think it makes a lot of sense. His eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, yes." It's just saving. The hole waits. Brother is so right. Isn't it? The officials of the various ministries wrote on the left. The right one is in the upper table. It's all about reaching out and asking for money. To whom can I go? There is no way. I had to keep my mouth shut. Wooden man. When I didn't hear it. Hiding in the palace. Let Xu Ge Lao and them think about coping. β
Chang Sihao smiled in his heart: "Legend has it that you are stunned like a chicken [Xianmo: This should be the Ming history." There are many mistakes and omissions in the history of the Ming Dynasty. I haven't read history for a long time. Forget about most of it. The evaluation is inadequate. But the impression that Ming Shi is really bad is still there. Interested in learning about history. Don't read books that interpret history in the vernacular. Most of them are based on history books and read them in their own vernacular. Add some nonsensical play. Think you're humorous. In fact, it is full of leaks. If you really read history, you should also see the actual record]. It turned out to be such a stupid method. Ha. Keep your mouth shut. Silence. It's a good way to deal with creditors. However, the people of the world who did not know the truth heard about it. Inevitably, he had to scold the emperor for sealing the cannon for being mediocre and unreasonable. I couldn't help but feel gloomy: "It turns out that the emperor is doing this." It's also very difficult. If it were me. Anyway, thrifty is also scolded. Extravagance is also scolded. It's better to eat and drink every day. Angry monkeys. It's a pleasure. [Xianmo: There are a lot of emperors who break cans and break them. It's hard to guarantee that it won't be out of this heart]" looked at Longqing's bitter appearance. I felt funny for a while. The heart looks like you're a sour man. In fact, it should be changed to poor sour public. Give the artillery a general to save money. That's a fucking bad idea. You can figure it out.
The eldest grandson smiled and said, "Your Majesty." Governing the country and marching to war are the same. The soldiers are coming. The water comes to cover the earth. Why should you be in a hurry? The way of the king. The first thing is to be stable. Our grandfather has nothing. Pull oneself up by oneβs bootstraps. Win the world in the end. Now it's nothing more than an empty treasury. Suffer a little poor. You give up. If it is a Tatar soldier coming to the city. Or the Tibetan rebellion and the barbarian attack. And then what will you do? β
Long Qing was stunned. muttered, "That's what the imperial brother said. β
The eldest grandson, Xiaochi, took over his Wing Shan Crown. Hands raised in the air. Put it back on his head for him. said: "You have the people of the country in your heart. can be a good emperor. As long as you are sincere and sincere, you can be an emperor. Don't think too much about it. When there is a shortage of money, he appoints officials who can raise money. When the war starts, appoint generals who can fight. Trivial matters. It will be handed over to those who have the corresponding talent to do it. The eagle flies high. The prey can be seen. The dog can let go. The prey can be caught. Everything must be done by hand. It's not a leader's job. deviated from the way of the emperor. Need to know within the four seas. There are talents available. You must always remember that you are Liu Bei. You can't be Guan Yu, Zhang Fei or Zhuge Liang. β
Long Qingxi smiled. took his hand and patted him gently: "Brother Huang." Your golden words. It really made the little brother stunned. β
Chang Sihao smiled to himself: "What he said is probably the way to run the underworld in Jiangnan." What a golden stone. It's obviously a hawk dog. You take the medicine as prescribed. Don't you run the Ming Dynasty into a big gangster. [Xianmo: Isn't it? This tomorrow will become the black boss. You feel fresh. It's just that I don't know if the elders, scholars, and governors have changed to be hall masters, incense masters, and flag masters. Ha ha. At that time, the people of the world will be brothers in the gang. Where are we going to rob the house? [Xianmo: Tell the truth with banter. The Great Irony is the Great Disclosure. Legislation allows civilians to pay high personal income tax and cheat money with compulsory labor and medical insurance. It's all a new trick of the era of the big gangsters. It's much more clever than playing eagles and dogs in the past. Beneficiaries of the rules. It's always the ones who make the rules. γβ
