He said, "It just so happens that the weather is good, and I have told me a few times, she likes to ride horses, and I want to take her out for a walk, and there is a horse farm outside the city......"

"Your Majesty," I couldn't help sighing, he really didn't listen to what he said just now, not only did he not listen to it, but he was also ready to intensify it, I also knew that it didn't make sense to say this to him, so he said in a low voice: "After all, Lord Wu just had an accident, and it was for the prince, His Majesty had just finished handling the official affairs of the household department, and he went out to play with his wonderful words, this--what will the subjects of the world think when they see it?"

He was stunned and looked at me. （）（.

At this time, Miao Yan muttered and turned over in the quilt, one shoulder was exposed, I hurriedly bent down, lifted the quilt on one side and covered her tightly, and then said: "No matter what your majesty wants to do to the outside, there are some things that you still have to be afraid of." ”

If, if it is really unfortunate and Wu Yanqiu falls into the water and dies, then it is just past his first seven, he is in danger for the crown prince, no matter what, he can't be so merciful.

Pei Yuanhao was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, you're right, I'm in a hurry." ”

“……”

"I'll take her out again in a little while. ”

I thought about it for a while, and then said, "If Your Majesty wants to take her out, you might as well bring a few other highnesses with you." ”

He glanced at me.

I didn't say anything more, just reached out and gently brushed the messy hair from Miao Yan's face.

After a while, he smiled faintly: "Are you still afraid that I will hurt her?"

"The child is still young. ”

"She's not small anymore. ”

Speaking of this, I fell into the previous impasse between the two of them, I simply closed my mouth, he also smiled, and did not get angry at me for disobeying his words, the two of them stood by the bed for a while, looking at Miao Yan's quiet sleep, as if the night was more refined. Father-in-law Yu brought in some food from outside.

I looked back and was stunned for a moment.

He said, "I know that you have come back without eating, so you can use a little, and don't eat too much at night, for fear that you will accumulate food." ”

I didn't say anything, slowly walked out and sat down at the table, there were not many things sent, just some porridge dishes, but it was just right to eat these at night, I took a bowl of vegetable porridge from the palace maid's hand, just took a sip, he also sat next to me, and let people serve half a bowl.

I looked at him, "Didn't you have dinner too?"

"No, I did," he looked at me with a smile, "but I am hungry for your food." [a lot]"

“……”

I pursed my lips and didn't say anything, just looked at him happily drinking porridge with vegetables, looking like he was hungry, and the father-in-law next to me covered his mouth gently, and when he saw me, he hurriedly turned his head.

Pei Yuanhao immediately said, "You go down first, and then come in and serve later." ”

"Yes. ”

Father-in-law Yu agreed and withdrew.

The door was also closed.

There was no other sound in the room, only the sound of the gentle collision of dishes and chopsticks, and neither he nor I spoke, but fortunately there was such a voice, with a little worldly atmosphere, which made the atmosphere not so stiff.

He drank half a bowl of porridge, but he was not satisfied, and he got up to serve half a bowl, and when he picked up the chopsticks, he said as if unintentionally: "Fu Lao has already received an order to compile the official history of this dynasty before, and in two days, the people on the other side of Jixian Hall will open a living note." ”

He paused and turned to look at me, "He said he wanted you to come over and help." ”

My heart tightened slightly.

But he didn't look up at him, only the porridge bowl in his hand: "In the past, I often helped him sort out the manuscripts of Xishan Academy, probably he thought it was easier for me to use it." ”

"But now, you're no longer your student at some academy, and you're not a Jixian orthography, and you're not someone to use it. Besides, he wants to gather 300 students to edit together, and there are many people, and if you go over, it will not be a system. I didn't say yes. ”

“…… Oh. ”

I didn't say anything, didn't show obvious disappointment, just answered, and then lowered my head and took a sip of porridge.

But then, he added, "But if you want to go and see, I'm right." ”

“……！”

My heart moved again, and I subconsciously raised my head to look at him, his face was a little heavy, not angry, not gloomy, but I still couldn't believe my ears - was he really accurate?

He also looked at me and said, "But you must also know that I have approved you, not because I don't understand, but because I don't want to reject you. ”

“……”

"Do you know what I mean?"

His dark eyes looked at me, the kind of deep and bottomless pool, to catch the soul of a person, I looked at him for a long time, lowered my head, "um" sound.

He laughed.

I didn't look up at him again, but I could feel that his gaze had never left me, so hot and real, as if it could turn into a real touch, scalding people's skin, I was a little trembling several times, for fear that the next moment, he would really reach out to touch me, seeing that his half bowl of porridge was also drunk, as soon as I put down the bowl, I said: "I don't know what Fu Lao said to His Majesty?"

He looked at me for a moment: "What did he tell you again?"

I pursed my lips, put down the bowl that still had a little cold left, and said softly: "Fu Lao told the people's daughter, no matter what, I want to survive this year with the emperor." ”

His gaze flickered slightly.

"He wants you to follow me?"

“…… Be. ”

"Hehe," he said suddenly, "It seems that the four million taels I approved before were less than those approved by him." ”

I pursed my lips and didn't answer him, but he coughed twice, reached out and wiped his mouth, barely erasing the smile from the corner of his mouth.

Then he said, "Do you know why you have to survive this year?"

I shook my head.

He let out a long sigh, but he didn't intend to tell me, he only said: "Over the years, I have been obedient to him, and I hope this time, I have not heard me wrong." ”

I said softly: "Fu Lao will think about the common people in the world, if His Majesty's mind is the same as the people in the world, then it will not be wrong." ”

He smiled.

After a while, he said again: "However, how can we survive this year?"

I thought about it, and didn't immediately tell the story of Xichuan, but said: "At least in the imperial court, we must always maintain the current situation, not chaos, and not give people an opportunity to take advantage of." ”

He looked at me: "Then you know, what is wrong with the imperial court and needs to maintain the current situation?"

"The treasury is empty. ”

……

The stunned words came out, but it was like throwing a stone into the lake, which suddenly broke the peace in people's hearts, but immediately, the entire dormitory fell silent.

He was so silent that he couldn't even breathe.

There was a slight cold sweat in my palm, but the expression on my face did not change at all, and I just gently pinched the corner of my clothes.

The treasury is empty, the court has no money, this matter cannot be regarded as a confidential matter, but I also know that I can say this sentence in front of the emperor, and I am afraid that the nine clans will not be enough to destroy it in ordinary times, this is a fact that he has always been unwilling to face, and it is also a fact that he has been trying to cover up, I have never mentioned this issue to him, but just now, he promised that I could go to Jixian Hall to have a look, this is already a concession he made, so I also need to make a little response.

No more going around in circles with him.

Sure enough, I felt his hand on the table slightly strained, and his finger bones crackled twice, and after a while, he sighed lightly: "You know ......"

I nodded.

In fact, it is not even necessary to look at the several measures taken by him after I returned to Beijing -- to take back the business of the Yang family, to return the management rights of salt, wine and silk to the public, and to personally manage the household department -- there is no need to judge from these again, just from the fact that Pei Yuanfeng told me that all the taxes in Jiangnan were sent to Shengjing, and from that national policy alone, we can also know that the imperial court has no surplus.

When the imperial family entered the customs, after so many years of war, the wealth of the Central Plains has been exhausted, although the emperor has implemented the policy of recuperation for many years, but as the saying goes, the world's taxes are one and two, and all the taxes in the south of the Yangtze River are sent to Shengjing, and Xichuan has never completely surrendered to the imperial court, so that the taxes of the two largest sources of taxes are almost not handed over to the imperial court, only the taxes in other regions can support the normal expenses of the imperial court, and even the construction of some large-scale projects, but the surplus - I only did the math in my heart, and I didn't know much.

When he heard me say this, his fingers moved as if he wanted to take something, but when he looked at the dishes on the table, his hand retracted again.

I found out that he wanted to drink, he wanted to get a wine glass.

I said calmly, "Your Majesty drink less. There are some things that can be poured out with wine, but the actual difficulties are not poured with wine. ”

He looked up at me and chuckled.

Then, he said: "Then do you know why he hasn't done anything since he was in Jinling?"

I said softly, "It's for the money." ”

“……”

"Although Jiangnan is also a rich land, after the war and the previous years of exploitation, the people have no wealth, and the money to support a war cannot only rely on a short period of pouring to squeeze out the money, otherwise, halfway through the war, it may first provoke a popular uprising. ”

“……”

"If it really wants to be fought, this battle will not be fought within half a year. I estimated that if he wanted to cross the river and go north, the grain and grass to support the troops along the way would be at least 5 million taels a month -- and this was just grain and grass. ”

Pei Yuanhao looked at me as if he was a little surprised: "How can you count this?"

“……”

I was dumbfounded, and before I could say anything, he looked at me with a smile: "Your mother also taught you?"

“……”

I didn't answer, he chuckled, "It seems that your mother is indeed an extraordinary person, no wonder—"

At this, he paused to himself. (Fast update, no pop-up ads to read)
