The raw materials were insufficient, and the specific formula was unclear. The taste of the homemade white rabbit was actually far from the one Li Yi remembered.
It tastes somewhat similar to those pirated candies from "Big White Free", "Little White Rabbit" and "Big Black Rabbit".
But Yongning ate with relish. If Li Yi wasn't afraid that she would break her teeth, she would have eaten as much as Xiaohuan and Tsundere Lolita combined.
Candy seems to be in its infancy in this world, and it’s okay to do it. If it continues like this, there may eventually be a giant company that monopolizes multiple industries and spans countless categories, and tens of thousands of taels of silver every minute Up and down, of course, to him, it's not interesting to be so big, it takes so much effort, so much time to sleep...
Tsundere Lolita ran over, stuffed a piece of candy into his mouth, and then ran away quickly. Li Yi was lying on the rocking chair in the yard, hearing the crisp but quiet laughter of the two little girls, From time to time he opened his eyes and took a look. Life, so far as it is concerned, is already very good.
On the other side of the capital, standing somewhere in a field, the magistrate Liu, who was followed by more than a dozen yamen servants, was not so leisurely.
This is where the villagers found the talking fox. At this time, a villager pointed to a series of footprints on the wetland and said, "My lord, look, Xiangrui came here today. "
County Magistrate Liu frowned, walked over to the surrounding villagers and asked, "Did you all see Xiangrui this morning?"
Immediately, more than half of the villagers shook their heads, but some people stood up and said, "I see, I see, that white fox... that Xiangrui ran over from here with a piece of yellow cloth in his mouth, and ran away." After it passed, the cloth fell out and we all heard it talk."
Magistrate Liu frowned and asked, "How do you know that it was the fox talking, not someone pretending to be?"
An old man with brown spots on his face, leaning on a cane and hunched over his body came out and said: "People in the village, who has never heard a fox cry, that voice is sharp and thin, it is the fox's Throat, human voice, I can hear the old man clearly!"
County magistrate Liu looked at the old man, and asked suspiciously: "Isn't this old man very old this year, and his ears are still working?"
"What, old Zhao?" The old man tapped his crutches on the ground and said, "The old man's surname is Wang, not Zhao. He ate noodles in the morning, and they were not watery. The state policy has been good in the past two years, and he doesn't drink watery..."
County Magistrate Liu ignored the old man, turned around and asked, "Who else was there besides you?"
A villager thought for a while and said, "There are two passers-by..."
He curled his lips: "Those two outsiders still want to buy Xiangrui with ten taels of silver. We really think we are stupid! Xiangrui belongs to the state. If we really sell it, we still have to go to jail?"
"Passers-by?" County Magistrate Liu cheered up and asked, "What kind of passers-by, do you still remember their looks?"
When he came out this time, he took a painter with him, and immediately stepped forward, and drew the passerby according to the villager's description.
A moment later, County Magistrate Liu held two pieces of paper in his hand, and his brows twitched.
One beard almost covered his eyebrows, and the other had a bowl-sized birthmark on his face. Needless to say, it must have been disguised, so what else could he be looking for
"Go back to the county office!" Magistrate Liu said coldly, then turned and left.
After coming out today, there are still some gains. How to deal with this matter, he has to think about it after he goes back. This matter is no small matter, and he must not take a wrong step.
"Hey, what do you mean by what Xiangrui said?"
"What Xiangrui said, I didn't hear clearly this morning."
"I remember, it said 'the real dragon should be the eldest son'."
"True dragon, isn't that the emperor, the eldest son Xian, His Royal Highness the King of Shu, is he called..."
"Even Xiangrui said so, it seems that the next emperor will be the King of Shu..."
…
…
Before leaving, County Magistrate Liu couldn't help but twitched his eyelids again when he heard the villagers talking quietly.
The real dragon should be the eldest son Xian... Li Xian, the king of Shu, dared to spread such rebellious words. Could it be that he is really crazy
"My lord, what should we do now?"
Zhao Butou also realized the seriousness of the matter, and when he was walking on the street, he finally couldn't help asking County Magistrate Liu.
County magistrate Liu said in a deep voice: "Block the news, don't let those villagers spread rumors, if it violates the law, you will be directly locked in the county government prison..."
"The ancestral system cannot be abolished; the eldest son, sits on the throne; the heavenly punishment rises, the prestige spreads; Jing Guoxing, the virtuous become the king..."
As soon as County Magistrate Liu finished speaking, he let a group of children pass by them humming such nursery rhymes.
There were two people chatting at the noodle stall on the side of the road.
"Hey, have you heard that this morning there was a white fox with a yellow cloth in its mouth, and it said that His Highness the King of Shu should be the emperor."
"Really or not, this is a strange omen, the white fox utters words, great auspiciousness!"
"It is said that the King of Shu is incompetent, but today I found out that His Highness is the destiny..."
…
"The common people are stupid, but are your Majesty and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty so easily deceived by this method?"
County Magistrate Liu sighed and rubbed his sore brows. He didn't expect that the matter had developed to such a point. Anyway, he couldn't help himself...
"Go back to the county government office!" He gritted his teeth and walked quickly towards the county government office.
This kind of thing, a small capital can't participate in it. For the present plan, I can only write a memorial to report everything to His Majesty...
Just as County Magistrate Liu was scribbling on the table, the atmosphere in Yushi Taizhong was equally dignified.
An extremely sensitive nursery rhyme spread among the market, and its spread has long been uncontrollable. Today, there is a white fox Xianrui, saying that Li Xian, the king of Shu, will be the next king. Although His Majesty is in poor health, it is far from that point. .
The king of Shu, or some people with a heart, is going against it!
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang rebelled, strange omens arose, and a fox spit out people's words, "Great Chu Xing, King Chen Sheng"...
Now the white fox Xianrui is also voicing people's words, naming the king of Shu as the real dragon.
The ancestral system cannot be abolished. The eldest son inherits the throne. Your Majesty has no sons—the eldest son is the king of Shu!
"Jing Guoxing, Xian is the king..."——When Li Xian becomes the emperor, Jing Guo will prosper
There is even a folk saying that the golden scale is originally a thing in the pool, and it will transform into a dragon when it encounters a storm, which secretly reveals that the King of Shu has not yet reached the time to truly transform a dragon. Collapse
Even though the reputation of the King of Shu has almost been lost during this period, the King of Shu himself or some people in the line of the King of Shu dared to adopt such methods, did they ignore the fact that His Majesty is still alive
Fabricating omens and folk songs to gain popular support, using religion to accumulate power, these are almost always things that rebels will do throughout the ages.
Recently, there is a force outside the capital that is causing trouble, claiming to be the holy religion. Could it be that this is also the arrangement of the King of Shu
"It seems that everyone has underestimated this Highness."
Ma Zhongcheng had a frosty face, "Xiangrui, nursery rhymes, holy religion, I am familiar with these, but I am curious, what other means do you have!"
As soon as Ma Zhongcheng finished speaking, a censor came in from outside, cupped his hands and said, "Zhongcheng, outside the capital city, a few farmers dug an old stone tablet in the river. It says..."
"What is written?" Ma Zhongcheng frowned upon hearing this.
The censor glanced at him and spoke slowly.
"When the dragon comes out of Shu, Jingguo will prosper!"
