Chen Guo's compensation was arranged clearly by Feng Yuan, and Yao Yanyan and His Majesty's plan naturally fell through.
The two of them were disappointed, but there was no way. The notes in Feng Yuan’s notes were indeed where money was needed. There were also many things that the couple could not consider. His Majesty read it carefully at the time. I want to pick out a place where there is no need to spend money, but I can't pick it out.
That night, His Majesty the Emperor lay down and exclaimed, "It seems that I can't build a building for picking stars in my lifetime."
Yao Yanyan touched his head comfortingly, and said to him: "Your Majesty, think about it from a different place. Let this money be used by Mr. Feng, so that we can become more powerful in Qi country. We don't need to be afraid of Chen Guo, and we don't need to be afraid anymore. The country has been subjugated, and we have already earned it. Moreover, Chen Guo has lost so much money and food, and has lost his troops. At least in the past few years, he has not dared to attack. Taking this opportunity, we can rest and continue our strength. The front is also I think. That's it, we are far from being able to relax now, at least... we have to wait until your Majesty rules the world!"
After she said this, she listened to her majesty sullenly and said: "It is too costly to build the Star Picking Tower. In fact, it doesn't matter if you don't build it. It's just a bitter lady. In the past year, there is no new clothes and jewelry.
Yao Yanyan smiled, shook her head and said, "The concubine has food and clothing, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t need new ones. Anyway, the concubine will not grow anymore. Besides, you don’t have to have new clothes and jewelry. Your Majesty will accompany me out tomorrow. Go, I'm happy."
Seeing your Majesty nodded, she said again: "Your Majesty, don't be too frugal. You are taller this year, and your original clothes are short. What do you think of wearing out? Are you not afraid that others will laugh at you?"
His Majesty the emperor snorted and said, "I am the ninth-five nobleman, who dares to laugh at me?"
Yao Yanyan asked again: "Then if they think your Majesty is very pitiful? Wouldn't it be detrimental to your majesty?"
His Majesty said: "Who dare to pity me! I will punish them to sweep the palace and pour the toilet!"
After the words, His Majesty the Emperor didn't know what he thought of, and his eyes lit up.
Yao Yanyan didn't notice, she leaned in her majesty's arms and said in her heart: For her Majesty Aijie, pouring the toilet is probably a very severe punishment!
The two closed their eyes and talked, and fell asleep without knowing it.
That night, His Majesty the Emperor had a dream. He dreamed that he was wearing the old short clothes from last year and went to the early court. When the courtiers saw him so poor and difficult, they left tears of emotion, especially Feng Yuan. After seeing him even the cuffs were torn, he was even more ashamed to be unable to control himself.
The Emperor heard Feng Yuan cry and said to him: "Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, the minister should not be extravagant, the minister did not expect your life to be so difficult, the minister is very wrong. Your majesty, rest assured, From now on, the minister will never ask your majesty for a single cent."
Not only that, Feng Yuan also voluntarily handed in his salary for one year, and said that he would not pay for it in the future.
His Majesty the emperor did not dare to say: "Is this true?"
Feng Yuan said with a guilty expression: "To be loyal to your Majesty is the duty of a minister. Your Majesty, the minister is willing to turn over the salary for the next few decades to your majesty's treasury. No matter how your Majesty wants to spend it, the minister will support you! Go in business and earn a lot of money for your majesty. If the building of the star-picking building cannot be built one day, the ministers will not receive the salary!"
His Majesty the Emperor is crazy happy!
After dawn the next day, Yao Yanyan opened her eyes to the sound of the morning drum. She thought about going out to play today, so she wanted to wake up her Majesty. Seeing that His Majesty was not sleeping next to her, she skillfully crawled to the other side of the big bed. When I went, I saw His Majesty holding a pillow, his head resting on a quilt, and the big feet without socks on the other pillow, sleeping like a pig.
Yao Yanyan called him several times, and saw that he was not awake, so she washed herself. When she came back from washing and changing clothes, she saw Her Majesty pouting his butt and rummaging in the closet.
Yao Yanyan asked him what he was looking for.
His Majesty the Emperor: "I'm looking for the dragon robe from last year."
Yao Yanyan said: "Isn't it already cut into pieces by you for rags?"
His Majesty said: "I remember there is one more... I found it!"
Yao Yanyan saw that he was going to put on the dragon robe, and said in doubt: "Your Majesty, there is no need to go to the morning court today, and yesterday we agreed to go out to play." Since the birth of the child, the two of them have not had time to go out alone for a long time. Finally, the three small ones are a little bigger, and there is no need to fight. Yao Yanyan and His Majesty decided to reward themselves. It doesn’t matter if you can’t afford to build a star-picking building, and you can’t afford new clothes and jewelry. Let’s go out and play for a day!
His Majesty the emperor was thinking about tearing the cuffs. Hearing Yao Yanyan's words, he was taken aback for a moment. That's right, there will be a court meeting tomorrow. So he carefully folded the old dragon robe that was finally turned out, and put it in the **.
Yao Yanyan felt strange, so she asked, but saw her majesty said triumphantly: "I seemed to have had a predictive dream again last night."
Yao Yanyan was even more curious, "What did you dream of?"
His Majesty the Emperor mysteriously said: "Tomorrow the lady will know."
Yao Yanyan:? ?
She asked several times, but the Emperor's mouth was tight this time, and Yao Yanyan had to give up without saying anything.
The two of them didn't notify anyone when they went out of the palace this time, they just brought seven guards with them.
They rode in a carriage and drove all the way out of the capital after leaving the palace to a small town near the capital before getting out of the carriage.
They were dressed as civilian couples this time, and seven guards were hidden among the crowd.
This small town is also prosperous because it is backed by the capital.
Although it is winter, because it has not snowed this year, the ground is not frozen, so it is easy to walk. Today, it happened to be in the town to go to the market. The streets were full of people and fireworks, making this couple who hadn't been out of the palace for a long time as strange as walking into another world.
The two of them walked on the street, and from time to time they glanced at the houses that were lower than those in Beijing, or looked at the things sold on the street, and began to discuss what to buy to take back. They brought money with them when they went out today, but they weren't as generous as they used to be. The two people had the same money in their wallets.
When the emperor saw someone selling sugar people on this street, he remembered the first time they came out to play, and he took Yao Yanyan over to see, and when he asked the teacher who sold sugar people, he was actually a penny cheaper than the one in Beijing. !
Sugar man is not rare, but the sugar man who is a penny cheaper than Jingli is a rare object. The two didn't want to buy it, so they bought two immediately.
After I bought the Sugar Man, I saw that other things were cheaper than those sold in Jingli, thinking that I didn't buy it this time, and I don't know when and when I can come again next time, so the two bought a bunch of things.
His Majesty the Emperor settled the accounts while carrying the things, and said excitedly: "Yanyan, we buy so many things, it's still twenty liters cheaper than Jingli!"
"So much!" Yao Yanyan was also excited, but when she looked at the things in her hands, she always felt that something was wrong.
His Majesty said: "The ones sold on the streets here are cheaper than those in Beijing. The more you buy, the cheaper you will get? Yanyan, we should buy more."
Yao Yanyan glanced at the half-flat wallet, and finally woke up and quickly stopped her Majesty. Xindao originally wanted to save money, but ended up buying a bunch of unnecessary things, and then let your majesty buy it
She quickly grabbed her Majesty, and when the two turned their heads, a dirty-faced little beggar stared at them pitifully.
"You two will do well, I haven't eaten for several days."
Since they had children, Yao Yanyan and her Majesty have become more sympathetic to the wandering little beggars. Upon seeing this, Yao Yanyan took off her purse and asked him to count a few copper coins from it.
As a result, she hadn't opened her purse yet, and a gust of wind in front of her made Yao Yanyan startled. When she recovered, the purse in her hand and the little beggar were gone.
They met a thief!
Yao Yanyan was so angry that she threw something and lifted her skirt and chased forward.
His Majesty the emperor yelled, and then hurriedly packed up the things that Yao Yanyan had thrown away. When he followed the guards, the little beggar had been blocked in an alley by the guards, and Yao Yanyan was reaching out to ask the little beggar for money.
"Little guy, because of your young age, as long as you pay back the money obediently, I won't report to the official."
To be an ordinary thief, facing the aggressive Yao Yanyan and the four famous guards standing next to her, he must hand over the money obediently, but this little beggar is not, he is obviously scared. Tears broke out, and he clenched his purse firmly in his hand.
Yao Yanyan said in her heart: I took advantage of other people's kindness to grab things at such a young age, but I still refused to pay them back when I was caught. We must teach him a lesson while he is still young!
So he said to the guard: "Get your purse back."
As soon as she finished speaking, the little beggar wanted to escape, but he just ran a step before he could get past these well-trained guards, and he was taken back, and the purse that was tightly held in his hand was naturally taken away. .
His Majesty the Emperor just walked to Yao Yanyan and heard the little beggar clinging to the guard’s leg, crying: "Please, my grandma is dying of illness. I robbed the money to treat her. Good-hearted old lady beg you..."
Yao Yanyan and Your Majesty were both taken aback.
When the emperor saw the child crying so badly, he immediately believed and said, "Yanyan, give him the money!"
Yao Yanyan shook her head and said: "Where is your grandma? Take us over." As he said, let the guards escort him away.
She and Your Majesty followed, whispering: "Your Majesty, you are too kind, maybe this little guy lied to us!"
His Majesty the Emperor shook his head and said, "I don't see him as a lie."
The two followed the little beggar to a house in the town. Before entering the door, they heard coughing coughing.
When the guard holding the little beggar heard this movement, his hand loosened. The little beggar immediately opened the door and ran in.
It turned out that what the little beggar was saying was true. His family was left alone, his parents passed away, and he only depended on the elderly. Now the old man has a cold and cannot get rid of the disease, but he has no money to treat the disease.
His Majesty the Emperor immediately took out all the money in his body-fifty-four copper coins with sympathy.
The seven guards looked at each other, and they also found out their own money and pooled them together, and went to invite a doctor to come back.
Seeing this, the little beggar cried and knelt on the ground repeatedly, saying that he would be a cow and a horse to repay them.
His Majesty saw the children who were less than ten years old kneeling on the ground and kowtow to them, and immediately helped them up, squatting in front of him and talking to him.
Yao Yanyan did not participate, because as soon as she entered the door, she discovered a strange thing. In front of the little beggar's house, there was a sign with a family member of a martyr.
The court paid a pension of fifty taels of silver to each family member who sacrificed soldiers. If a family member is seriously ill, the court can also pay for the treatment until the illness is cured.
Since this family was sacrificed to the families of soldiers, why did it fall to this point? What about the pension from the court? The child's grandmother is so seriously ill, why not go to the county office to find someone for help
The first thing Yao Yanyan thought of was that the family's pension had been embezzled. But then I thought about it and felt wrong. The Department of Supervision that your Majesty set up at the beginning is not a display. Besides, this small town is at the feet of the emperor. How can those officials dare to embezzle
Yao Yanyan expressed her doubts. Fortunately, although her childhood was young, she was still clever. She understood that these noble people wanted to help them, and she immediately said what had happened at home.
It turned out that after his father died in the battle, some officials did get pensions for them, but within a month, the money was taken by his cousin. His grandma was sickened by gas, and his body was getting worse every day, little guy. Can only go out and steal things.
After listening to the child's intermittent narration, Yao Yanyan and her majesty felt a little depressed.
Two guards were left to take care of the pair of grandparents and grandchildren, and the two returned to the capital in a carriage.
"Your Majesty, we can guard against corrupt officials, but we can't guard against those insidious people!" After Yao Yanyan's depression, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became. In order to govern the country better and better, she and her majesty began to save food. They used it frugally, but the spoilers dared to take away the pension which they had finally added up to fifty taels! "We must think of a way to bring to justice those unsophisticated people who dare to embezzle pensions!"
His Majesty the emperor nodded, remembering the appearance of the pair of grandparents and grandchildren, and said: "It's because I didn't think about it. I didn't think about this situation. At the meeting tomorrow, I will mention this matter. In any case, I have to mention this matter. I’ll solve it first.” I don’t know how many people like those grandparents, young and old, can't protect the pension, can't recognize the official documents of the court, and don't know that they can go to the yamen for help. If it weren't for them to just come out to play today, I'm afraid that the ancestors and grandchildren died of illness and starvation, no one knew.
Those martyrs who died in battle for Daqi, their families should never live like this!
The author has something to say:
I found that my shoulders are sore after the code is too long, so I must rest for a while when this book is over. In these recent chapters, I will mainly make a transition, write about the people, write about the development and change, and then fast forward the time, and then continue to fight.
