Chapter 166: The Way of Survival
"Lu Shaofu has been with His Majesty all the year round, and he has been gossiped about, and it is better to be an official servant."
"Childe didn't answer the question, distracted?" Yuan Lingjun turned his eyes suspiciously, touched the jade belt around his waist, and touched his fingers.
"But that's right, what about the Jiuqing Shaofu of the middle two thousand stones, what does it look like to follow the emperor all day long like doing nothing, he has looked down on Lu Gong since he was a child, and he looks down on him even more when he becomes an adult, saying that he is a flower gun, and his moves are not easy to use." She thought for a while, "This time the envoy returned to Beijing, and he also went back with him, and he planned his own government in his position." β
Qu Yi took Feiqiong, and the surface of the grate was shiny, which could be seen to be caused by long-term friction. "Pull the big Sinong over, this is the mission given to him. The noble concubine still relies on Chang Shan now, and having no money is a fatal shortcoming after all. Si Nong leads the world's money valley for the common use of the country, His Majesty holds the big Si Nong in his hands, and he controls the state finances, and the big Si Nong and the Shaofu are parallel, and the money is in the hands of His Majesty. He finished speaking, with a moving light in his eyes.
Yuan Lingjun readily agreed, "What Childe said is extremely true, I didn't even expect it." She grabbed his soft hanging sleeve, "It's been a long time since I've heard you blow the gong." β
Qu Yi raised the basket to his lips.
The smooth and beautiful sound of the palace floated in the autumn night, driving away the darkness in an instant, and the walking palace people couldn't help but slow down, and their steps were as light as cats walking through.
At the end, he put away Fei Qiong and said quietly: "Zong Zhengqing is old, and he is a little unable to do things. β
His sigh made Yuan Lingjun uneasy, Zhen Chuanting, Lin Jin, Cen Mian, and Hu Yanao were all old ministers......
Three days later, the messenger returned to Beijing with her meaning, Lu Yaoxue accompanied by a mission, not a few days later, Lin'an sent a group of Yuefu musicians, on the same day the south sent back the good news, the two veterans are not old, and the battle of Hetuo won a big victory. It is said that it was a heroic battle, and Hetuo lost most of it, and Jinshi did not get much better, including the two old generals who were injured by different Cheng DΓΉ. This is not over, Hetuo refuses to surrender, and the Jin State cannot be a teacher.
Fan Jiang thought it was a happy event, and he also sent his cronies to Yuan Lingjun and said, "It is not easy for the Jin Kingdom to defend the southern border in the troubled times, and it is also appropriate for His Majesty to celebrate." β
The people are mourning, crying and complaining, but their king is celebrating the victory in the palace, and the people are not chilled? Yuan Lingjun was not so stupid, but he couldn't brush Fan Jiang's face, so he asked the maiko to perform the folk dance "Lotus Picking Woman by the Lake" on the lotus boat.
In a group of musicians playing music, it was no surprise that they saw Zhong Cuiguan. Because of his superb skills, no one is better at the lyre than him, and these Yuan Spirits do not know about it, but they still know it from the mouths of others. Zhong Cuiguan has become the youngest musician in Yuefu, which is already rare at his age.
Qu Yi was drinking, and his cheeks were slightly powdered. Yuan Lingjun leaned over and wiped the wine on the back of his hand, thinking: Childe's alcohol is too poor, and he will get drunk when he gets drunk, but fortunately, his consciousness is different from ordinary people, and he won't be too confused when he is drunk, otherwise he won't let him drink.
"Ninety thousand, help the son to return to the palace."
Jiuwan, who was not far behind her, immediately stepped forward and raised Childe's arm, and Tianbao held the other side before helping him out of his seat.
Yuan Lingjun sat quietly for a while, and told Kunjiao that she wanted to see Cui Guan.
Cui Guan came in with the piano in his arms, paused a few steps away from her, bowed his head, polite and courteous, and estranged a lot. The outfit is still the one I saw in the Jin Palace last time, he is very thin, his clothes are slightly wide, and his body can't be held up at all.
"Do you know the reason for the rod? Why did your concubine punish you? Why don't I forgive you from sin? Her eyes followed the lotus boat closely, and the maiko on it wore a halo skirt, combed a cloud bun, and the red clothes were beautiful but not demonic, and her expression was joyful but not pretentious, and she performed very carefully.
Cui Guan replied: "Your Majesty saved the minister, otherwise it would be impossible to escape death that day." The punishment of the noble concubine gave the minister a lesson, the court is not better than the outside of the palace, keeping one's mouth shut, abiding by the rules, and understanding respect and humility are the way of survival for palace people. β
"That's right, the way to survive." Yuan Lingjun supported his head with his hand and glanced at him, "But just you?" seems to be gentle, but his temperament is fierce, and I'm afraid I can't say such a reasonable thing. β
"His Majesty is Shengming, the minister really can't say it, he doesn't dare to deceive His Majesty, every qiΔ is said by the minister of Jing's wife."
"At that time, you were depressed after being divorced by the Yan family, and you thought that you would be depressed for a while, but you were still admitted to Yuefu and married a good wife." The Maiko got off the boat, the boat was empty, Yuan Lingjun smiled, "Speaking of good wives, she understands this much better than you, she teaches you to save you, and it works better than me saying hundreds of words in front of your concubines, Entong recreates, she is your benefactor, and you are your wife, but you must treat her wholeheartedly." β
Cui Guan was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The minister's meeting." The voice was loud and powerful, and it shook the hall with a muffled sound, as if swearing from the heart.
Yuan Lingjun opened his mouth and laughed, "You are still like ...... before."
Suddenly, I saw him holding the qin in his arms, and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Phoenix Baoqin, have you always carried it?" β
"Your Majesty, the ministers can have today's achievements, all thanks to the support of His Majesty, and His Majesty's Phoenix Baoqin, the ministers dare not forget." He raised the qin horizontally to his chest, "Over the years, the minister has always carried the qin with him, and there has been no damage, and today it is all back to Zhao." β
Yuan Lingjun showed his white teeth, "Since it was given to you, how can there be any reason to take it back." She stepped down and reached in front of him, reaching out and stroking each string on the piano, "This piano is a relic of my biological mother, but for me, it is a little unlucky, you can just keep it." β
Cui Guan was surprised, but he didn't know how to answer, and as he was thinking, his right shoulder sank, and the temperature of his fingertips seemed to penetrate his body, and then, his sleeve swept over the strings, and trembled slightly.
Seeing that it was almost time for Yan to eat, the unrelenting retinue came to block it again. People who are not interested are really annoying, Yuan Lingjun suppressed his dissatisfaction and took a detour.
In September, the autumn is getting cooler, not as hot as before, the palace people have abandoned the silk fan, added clothes, and the weaving room is also stepping up to make the emperor's winter clothes.
Qu Yi said to her, "The emperor doesn't have to wear new ones every year, as long as the old ones can be worn, so that he can save a lot of money." "Yuan Lingjun's clothing is mostly brightly colored, the dyeing process is complicated, and the embroidery on the clothes is more time-consuming, and some even spend a few years, she has not known that the royal family's consumption on this is also a huge amount of money, listening to the prince and her accounting, or shocked, thinking of the monarch's father's reign, not to mention the emperor, the number of expenses in the six palaces must be more amazing.
Think about it, there are still many people who don't have enough to eat and don't have enough clothes, and she just doesn't have new clothes to wear, what is there to give up.
Since she aspires to become the emperor with real power, she must put herself in the shoes of the people, the suffering of the people is her suffering, and she cannot be satisfied with the happiness of the people.
The people's will is the destiny of heaven. (To be continued.) )
