Weiyang Palace......

Emperor Liu Heng had just returned from visiting the Empress Dowager Bo in the Changle Palace. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info first went to Mrs. Shen's palace to warm up, and then returned to the Xuanmur Hall to prepare for work.

Although the Chinese New Year is approaching, the emperor still has a lot of things to do, and there will be no things to present because of the holiday, and there are many urgent things that will be put on the emperor's desk and waiting for him to deal with. The so-called rest is just to leave these things to the Yellow Gate to deal with.

Deng Tong accompanied Emperor Liu Heng and helped him add a piece of clothing to warm a pot of soup. He was busy adjusting the temperature of the stove in the temple.

The heater in the Xuanshu Hall is not a small machine, the palace where good things are about to happen, set up a lot of pipes, and light a fire outside the hall to heat it, so that the temperature of the entire palace can be raised, otherwise the emperor will be busy in the Xuanshu Hall all day long, and he will be unbearable from the cold.

In addition to this, there are many things in the hall that can raise the temperature. At the turn of spring and summer, these things will be removed.

Even so, Emperor Liu Heng still felt that his hands were stiff. Due to the cold weather, in the past few days, Emperor Liu Heng has not eaten vegetable salad. After all, vegetable salad is a relatively cool food.

Although the weather today is colder than yesterday, Emperor Liu Heng feels that his body is more tired, and eating vegetable salad can relieve his tiredness. Therefore, the emperor thought about it and ordered: "Bring a bowl of vegetable salad!"

"Yes!" Emperor Liu Heng had an order, and Deng Tong carried it out. And Emperor Liu Heng naturally wouldn't wait there stupidly, he picked up the bamboo slips around him casually and began to look at them.

Since Liu Wu's paper-making workshop had now begun to produce paper, the paper was not sold outside, but sent to various administrative departments of the imperial court to write documents for them to write. Even so, due to Liu Wu's productivity, there is currently no way to meet the needs of the entire imperial court, and at present, only some of the key departments under Taiwei can be used, and there is also Shaofu.

The emperor thought to himself, he couldn't blame him for making up his mind about Liu Wu, it was really Liu Wu's workshop with too little capacity.

Now Liu Wu's workshop, many of the operations are not familiar with, so the emperor asked the people of Shaofu to just watch and learn from the side, and wait until Liu Wu's workshop products can reach a consistent and stable level, and then learn from the mature experience.

Although Emperor Liu Heng's approach was somewhat unreasonable, the emperor believed that Liu Wu was his son. It is a matter of course to take away his son's career. Just like every Chinese New Year, parents will keep their children's red envelopes.

Shaofu is the highest technical institution in the Han Dynasty, all the skills are excellence, Emperor Liu Heng thinks that when Shaofu studies a better papermaking technology, and then share this technology with his son Liu Wu, there is no sorry Liu Wu.

What's more, all the production of Shaofu is for the needs of the royal family, and provides part of the needs of the court. The funds were all taken out of the emperor's small coffers. And Liu Wu, as a prince, is also one of the people raised by the small treasury.

Now leaving the private market to Liu Wu is already very worthy of Liu Wu.

As for the spoils sharing agreement between Qian Rujun and Liu Wu, in Emperor Liu Wu's opinion, isn't it natural for courtiers to serve the emperor? Or, if Qian Rujun is accepted as his goddaughter, will this part of the money be received into the emperor's small treasury as a matter of course?

Emperor Liu Heng was a very thrifty person, and when he encountered a way to make money, he also wanted to make money. After all, only the emperor's small treasury had money to support the imperial court, which could not make ends meet.

It is common for the court to owe wages. Fortunately, few officials in the imperial court live on official income. This is also the fact that although Emperor Liu Heng is a good emperor who is diligent and thrifty, he does not prohibit corruption

Compared with the income of the common people, the income of officials is actually quite high, but the Han bureaucrats, especially the local officials, need to pay their own salaries. In this way, these salaries are far from sufficient. Unless he wants one person to take care of everything, he has to hire someone. The salary paid by the imperial court was only a few positions, and the people in these positions had fixed jobs, and in addition to being responsible to the local governor, they were also responsible to others.

Therefore, the magistrates have to be greedy, and the magistrates are greedy, and it is difficult for those in the upper positions not to be affected. In addition to the high-ranking officials above the fourth grade, the money sent to usher in is a huge load. If it weren't for the fact that most of these officials were children of families and had the support of their families, they wouldn't have survived at all. And these officials, supported by their families, naturally shared the benefits of being officials with their families.

Like Bo Qing, he is actually just a commoner, but he enjoys privileged treatment in Chang'an City. Even in the face of officials in Chang'an City, there is no need to lower your voice.

In addition to the fact that he is a grandson, the most important thing is that his family name is Bo, and he belongs to the in-laws of the Bo family. His father and grandfather were even made marquis or officials because of this. The Bo family itself has a lot of territory, which is enough to support the clansmen. There is also a basis for raising troops.

The vegetables that Bo Qing bought were provided to the army. The Bo family saw it very thoroughly. Sooner or later, the identity of the in-laws will become obsolete, and only having a strong army that can fight for the Han is the basis for the family to stand on its feet. As for the fact that the Bo family bought the vegetables of Qian Rujun's Qian family farm, the emperor also found out. But not how to pay attention.

Although the emperor thought these foods were delicious, he only satisfied his appetite and did not think deeply about the strength of the army.

So when a strong army really appeared in the Bo family later, which was able to fight the Huns for the emperor, and laid down many places where horses could be grazed, the emperor knew what he had calculated. That's an afterword, and now I won't talk about it.

Although the palace was very large, the small kitchen arranged in the Xuanmur Hall immediately sent the small snacks that the emperor wanted.

Usually, the big kitchen is in charge of the main meal, but some small snacks and tea, which will be kept fresh and kept hot and cold, are the responsibility of the small kitchen. Although the emperor's life is not particularly extravagant, he will not refuse the enjoyment he deserves. Especially those services that can keep him fit, and there are always people around him who can come up and serve at any time.

He also began to miss Chun Yu Tiying's massage service. It's just that I don't know what's going on, although the masseur in the palace is also very good at kung fu, but the massage can't have the same effect as Ti Yu Tiying. Emperor Liu Heng also thought about the matter of men and women, but it didn't take long for him to veto it.

For recently, he suddenly had so many desires, and he was secretly vigilant in his heart, and even in Mrs. Shen's room, he didn't do that, but asked Mrs. Shen to help him massage.

You must know that in the past, Mrs. Shen's massage made him very satisfied.

But since he was massaged by Chun Yu Tiying, he can no longer be satisfied. However, the emperor has also heard about Chun Yu Tiying's whereabouts, and knows that she will charge a price of 500 wen for a massage for a person now, and she is now considered a rich woman who is not too small.

If you want to summon her to serve in the palace, it won't work in the name of the palace maid. Unless she is appointed as a physician and enters the palace to serve.

If you want to come, it may really be feasible, although her father is so concerned that there are rumors of healing the dead, and it seems unlikely that he wants to be summoned to the palace to be the imperial doctor. I heard that Chun Yuyi looked at the net worth of people, and it seemed impossible to let him collect the small amount of money from the imperial doctor and enter the palace to serve.

I'm afraid I won't do my best when I come in. However, Chun Yu Tiying is known as a filial daughter and has a good reputation, and it seems not impossible to enter the Tai Hospital and specialize in massage.

It's just that how to calculate this salary is a bit of a headache.

After thinking about it for a long time, the emperor felt that he was thinking too much. With the reputation of a physician, she can still take on outside work. And because of the difference in identity, maybe the price she offered can no longer be 500 Wen, even 1,000 Wen, and some people accept it. He knows that the imperial doctors in the palace make a lot of money.

It seems that there should be no problem with Chun Yu Tiying's appointment, and Emperor Liu Huan is very satisfied with his handling method.

"Your Majesty, here comes the vegetable salad. Deng Tong saw the emperor's expression, and there were traces of detachment from thinking, and hurriedly stepped forward and said.

"The kitchen was pretty fast this time. Bring it up!" Emperor Liu Heng immediately put down everything and ordered Deng Tong to bring the vegetable salad.

For the emperor, vegetable salad was no small tonic. Although almost all the vegetables in the past few days were provided by Qian Rujun, the emperor still felt that the vegetable salad was the most condensed essence.

In fact, it is no wonder that in the emperor's kitchen, it is impossible for all the dishes to be supplied by Qian Rujun, and now the dishes that Qian Rujun helped the emperor plant in the harem are not yet ripe, and even if they are ripe, there are many ingredients that cannot be prepared with a mask.

In the harem, the chef can use these ingredients to change many dishes, and it can be said that he has used them handily. They probably didn't expect that the combination they were used to would make the taste of the dishes sent by Qian Rujun decline to a certain extent.

If there is no comparison, the emperor probably doesn't feel it, and will think that the dish is delicious. The taste of the meat has also been improved.

It's a pity that these things are correspondingly tarnished in front of the vegetable salad, which is all provided by the space.

Therefore, the emperor's favorite dish is vegetable salad.

In the past two days, Deng Tong was afraid that he would catch a cold and persuaded him not to eat. However, after two days, the emperor did not feel better, but experienced the feeling before he did not touch the vegetable salad.

Although it was only a slight feeling, Emperor Liu Heng was already vigilant in his heart.

After eating a few bites, the emperor raised his head and said angrily to Deng Tong: "This vegetable salad doesn't taste right. Did they use the wrong dish in the kitchen? Or did they dare to do anything about the food I wanted to eat. ”

Although the emperor knew that the people who served him were more or less unclean. But he can't bear to dump the dishes he wants to eat like this.

Deng Tong was ordered to go to the small kitchen to ask, he was also very angry, he was a very professional eunuch, the so-called professionalism means that he can think about what the emperor thinks, worry about the emperor's worries, and anger the emperor's anger.

Deng Tong was in front of the emperor, although he had a servile face, but he was not so polite to the same eunuch chef in the small kitchen. Whatever the emperor suspects, he scolds in his head.

"If you have anything else to say, if you can't give a reason, I'm going to drag you out and beat you for fifty boards. actually teasing the emperor, it seems that you are dying. You're going to be a problem with me!" Deng Tong said with an unkind face.

It's not that we're going to use ordinary vegetables, it's that special vegetables have expired and have been recycled. But new vegetables haven't been delivered yet. The salad was fresh. But the rest is made from the original dishes of the palace. Slaves don't dare to embroach!" the cook was covered in sweat. In fact, he had never eaten those dishes at all, and he didn't know that the taste of the dishes was so different.

The emperor's teeth were so tricky that he could recognize the taste of the food. They couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At the emperor's side, danger and luck go hand in hand. What they wanted to do most was to satisfy the emperor. Unexpectedly, there have been too many opportunities to step on thunder recently.

At this point, they feel like the urge to urinate comes out.

"Lord Deng, you have to say good things for us. It's really not our fault. There are layers of levels ahead, and I don't know which level is wrong. The cooks knelt on the ground and begged Deng Tong.

Deng Tong groaned slightly, didn't say anything, turned around and reported to the emperor.

"Did the food not be delivered?" or was there an accident on the way?" the Emperor muttered.

"The minion immediately went to investigate. Deng Tong didn't shirk it, as minions, they solved the problem for the emperor. Instead of blaming the problem back to the emperor. This kind of thing, to be honest, really has nothing to do with the emperor. Deng Tong thought so.

"Wait, did Taichang Temple send the runes over? It seems that they only sent the first batch of runes, and there is no follow-up. The Emperor asked suddenly. It felt as if the emperor had realized what the problem was.

"Well, let the minions investigate. Deng Tong said.

"Go!" the Emperor waved his hand and let out a sigh of relief.

Every day the emperor had a lot of troubles, and soon, he had forgotten about these unpleasantness and immersed himself in work. It's just that there is no Deng Tong to serve on the side, but other eunuchs, who always let him gesture, and he doesn't feel so comfortable.

Not long after, Deng Tong returned to the emperor, took advantage of the emperor's interruption of rest, and reported to the emperor: "After being absent from office for two days, Qian Rujun submitted his resignation. ”

The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked, "She was bullied in Taichang Temple?"

The emperor felt that children of this age always reacted more to being bullied. Will have some temper tantrums. Although Qian Rujun looks like an adult. But in fact, it's just a child, and he may treat the conveyor of Taichang Temple as a game. In this way, it was a headache for the emperor. Neither is punishment nor punishment.

"It's not...... It is said that Qian Rujun was kidnapped by traffickers and was rescued yesterday evening. I just returned to the house today, and I was sent to the ...... said that he wanted to return to his hometown. Deng Tong's face was very strange, and he couldn't laugh or cry.
