Yu Qi smiled and said: "Yao'er, you don't know, Miss Yin is very fond of our big brother Tiannuo, such as today Brother Nuo has invited a matchmaker to hire Aunt Hua's family, and Aunt Hua is ready to handle the marriage for them as soon as spring begins." ”

Yao'er was overjoyed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother Tiannuo, this is your mistake, why don't you tell me about such a happy event." ”

Tiannuo smiled: "It's just an engagement, tell you what to do, I originally planned to wait for the wedding preparations to stop, and then invite you to the banquet on the day of the official marriage, hehe, our own family, we must come then." ”

At this time, Yu Qi was also a little depressed: "Alas! I really can't think of it, there has been no such thing since ancient times, how can you say that the queen would make such a will, the common people live a hard life, and what they ask for is just a food and clothing, and occasionally a little meat to eat, it is a great pleasure, the queen actually made a ......decree, and now that your sister-in-law is pregnant, I also want to buy some meat for her to make up for her body, who knows that it is empty. ”

Speaking of this, Yu Qi saw the oil-stained sack in Yao'er's hand, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "Yao'er, have you bought meat?" ”

At this time, the drums of Nanshi Sanshi sounded "dong dong", and Yao'er said to the two: "Let's go, let's talk while walking." ”

The three of them went all the way, and Yao'er told him about the fact that he saw that the official messenger was forbidden to fish on the way to Baimaguan and learned that the imperial court had issued a 'ban on slaughter', Tiannuo and Yu Qi couldn't help but look at her with strange eyes when they heard it, and Yao'er was furious.

Tiannuo and Yu Qi listened, and the expressions on their faces became even more weird. Yao'er didn't look like he was laughing at his dignified Kou Qing Gong Lang Zhong and people squeezing to buy meat, and couldn't help but wonder: "What do you two mean?" ”

Tiannuo sighed, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Yao'er, Yao'er." You're really smart, and you're confused for a while. ”

Yao'er was stunned: "What's wrong?" ”

Yu Qi shouted, "What's wrong? Haven't you figured it out yet? You say the fishermen on the river are forbidden to continue fishing? ”

"yes!"

"Can a dead fish be fished out of the river?"

"yes!"

Tiannuo smiled bitterly: "Fishermen fish, are they willing to eat by themselves?" Why don't you just buy the freshly caught fish from them nearby, but go to the south to buy meat from the south market? ”

Yao'er was stunned and stunned for a long time. I couldn't say a word.

Yu Qi'er shook her head and said: "I used to hear people say that they rode a donkey to find a donkey, and they only thought it was a stupid person in the story, but I didn't expect that there would be such a stupid person around me!" ”

Tiannuo rarely saw her embarrassed. Seeing how cute she was at the moment, I couldn't help laughing.

Yao'er slapped her forehead with a "snap", shook her head and smiled bitterly: "Yes, yes, it's really like this." I was so dizzy. ”

The imperial court levied taxes. It's a matter of course, isn't it that someone has evaded taxes, let alone such an absurd will. What is the difference between this and a decree forbidding the people to dress and eat, and forbidding the people to marry and have children? The people did not have enough to eat, so the hunters hunted, the farmers raised pigs, and the fishermen fished, and the meat they got was sold to the rich, and then they changed rice and noodles and went back to live.

And so it goes. The world is vegetarian, and food prices are skyrocketing. The price of vegetables is soaring, the people can't survive, the officials and gentry have no meat to eat, they can't even eat meat, what kind of officials do they do, what kind of money do they make? Wait, it won't be long before this decree will be dead in name. ”

Yao'er sighed and said: "It's just that before the imperial court revokes this decree, it is impossible to openly buy and sell meat, and it is impossible to eat meat openly and unscrupulously, and the price of meat will inevitably soar. ”

Hearing her say this, Yu Qi and Tiannuo also understood, Tiannuo sighed and said: "Although the powerful families will also be affected, the impact will not be big after all, the unlucky people are still the people, the rich people may not be able to eat meat for a while, but for the small people, they may not even be able to eat." ”

"yes......"

Yao'er was also a little stunned, sighed, and said, "Brother Tiannuo, you don't have to worry. I'll take care of the fish and meat you need when you get married. I'm going to see the Lord of the Heavens today, but I'll have to go over later. Hehe, every time I see the Lord of Xuanguan, I always have something important to ask for, but this time, I am afraid that he will never think that I will ask him for any help. ”

Tiannuo and Yu Qi both showed strange expressions on their faces, indeed, when everyone in the world couldn't eat meat because of the queen's belief in Buddhism, she could go to the Taoist temple and ask a Taoist priest to help her get meat to eat, this kind of thing really sounded a bit ridiculous, but when they thought of the impact of this incident on themselves, how could they still laugh.

Yu Qi said angrily: "We have also seen some old people who eat fast and believe in Buddhism, but whether they want to become immortals and become Buddhas, or want to live forever, it is all her own business, and now the queen wants to become a Buddha, but let us people live a good life without eating, drinking, or living, what is this called." ”

Yao'er said: "The reason why the queen became the queen is because of the queen's own business, and sometimes it is the business of the world. Only with a good queen can you have a good life! ”

Yao'er didn't say too much, Tiannuo and Yu Qizheng nodded in agreement, and that was enough. They can't read big words, but being illiterate doesn't mean they don't understand the reason, and when they understand the truth, they will become their like-minded comrades-in-arms in the future.

……

The bamboo garden of the White Horse Temple is filled with a strong aroma of wine, and the little Taoist priest who occasionally passes by outside is not surprised when he smells the strong smell of wine.

From time to time, there will be a violent noise in the room, sometimes like the wine jar is broken, and sometimes it will be like a wooden table is broken, and the monks who occasionally pass by outside still don't feel surprised when they hear it, how can the drunk master of the Xuanguan not go crazy drunk.

Smelling the smell of wine and hearing the voice, the fake Taoist priest smiled and walked away.

Xuanji, who was kneeling in the meditation room, was not as relaxed as those who happened to pass by outside, and he knelt on the ground "trembling with fear, and the five fingerprints on his face were like five fingerprints." Half of his face was swollen high, and now he felt numb, but he didn't dare reach out and touch it.

Mu Shangxuan was walking around in the room like a beast. His eyes were red, his nostrils were closed one by one, and he wheezed heavily. The weather was still cold, but he was still bare-chested, bare with his firm, full, toned and white chest, which rose and fell violently, as if pulling bellows. Pulling the bellows on his chest. His nostrils were panting one by one, and Mu Shangxuan, whose eyes were red, looked like an angry bull at the moment.

Suddenly, Mu Shangxuan's gaze fell on a brazier in front of him. Immediately he flew up, and the brazier was raised in the air, and then slammed to the ground, scattering red-hot coals all over the ground. One of the burning charcoals rolled to Kenji's side. The pain was so painful that Xuan Er quickly withdrew his hand, he didn't dare to get up, and he didn't dare to move, but he just withdrew his hand quickly, avoiding the charcoal fire.

Mu Shangxuan was shocked, frightened, angry, and afraid, because Xuan Er had just reported to him a bad news that the sky was shattering: the queen has a new favorite!

No wonder the queen hasn't summoned him for a long time, no wonder Tian Sansi and Tian Chengqian have stopped inviting him to family banquets for a long time, and no wonder other princes and magnates have asked to see her and give gifts less and less.

Mu Shangxuan is like a spoiled child. When his parents doted on him, pampered him, and gave what he wanted. He only felt that his parents were nagging and noisy, but when he suddenly lost his parents, he only felt confusion and fear about the future.

When Tian Qiniang summoned him in the past, he always felt that it was so disgusting to use his body to please an old woman who was over seventy years old, and he wanted to vomit when he was disgusting, and when Tian Qiniang gradually stopped calling him to the palace, he was still secretly rejoicing. But now that I know that the reason is because Tian Qiniang has favored others, he only has resentment, jealousy, anger, hatred, and ...... Fear.

If he loses the favor of the queen, he will lose his glory, wealth and honor, and if he loses all this, what else will he have? He has never been a great husband, he is just a vine attached to Tian Qiniang's towering tree, when he is attached to the tree, he looks more beautiful and swaggering than this tree, but after leaving this tree, he can only lie on the ground softly, and anyone can step on him.

At this time, Hongyi recklessly barged in: "Master, Senior Sister Yao'er is here and asks to see ......,"

"Get out!"

Mu Shangxuan roared, which frightened Hongyi and ran away, and the root of the window was also shocked by Mu Shangxuan's roar.

Mu Shangxuan quickly calmed his breathing, changed his mind slightly, and said to Xuan Er: "Xuan Er! ”

Xuan Er hurriedly climbed a few steps in front of him, raised his face and said, "Master! ”

Mu Shangxuan said in a deep voice: "Don't say anything about this matter!" ”

Xuan Er hesitated for a moment and said, "Master, if the disciples don't say it, the brothers and sisters will also know, this matter has already been stormy in the city, as long as the brothers and sisters walk around, they will inevitably listen to ......,"

"Bang!"

A big foot flew in the air, interrupting Xuanji's words, Xuanji screamed and flew out, his body swirled, and he slid out of the distance against the smooth wooden floor, but after a moment, he screamed again, jumped up suddenly, and slapped the smoke on his body desperately.

This poor boy is so straightforward that he doesn't know what it means to cover his ears and steal the bell.

Mu Shangxuan snorted angrily and strode out of the room.

When he appeared in front of Yao'er, his chest was bare-chested, his face was full of alcohol, his shoulders were slightly shaking, his smile was cute, and he still returned to the usual appearance when he saw Yao'er when he was drunk.

Yao'er came to visit today, just a routine greeting to the master, in the past two months, Yao'er has come every other day, Mu Shangxuan knows that this female disciple is different from other disciples, she is a person with great ability, unlike other disciples who eat completely on their own, so they look at her differently and should not be treated as ordinary disciples, although the two are masters and apprentices, they are a little like friends.

Yao'er worshiped the master, invited An, chatted with him for a while, and then mentioned the matter of the "ban on slaughter" under the imperial court, Yao'er smiled and said: "Master, it's not the disciple who slanders the Son of Heaven, the queen's will is really against the hearts of the people in the world, the disciple estimates that not only the people are dissatisfied, but the officials can't stand it, and it won't be long before this decree will exist in name only, and no one will abide by it anymore."

"I see, the saint is old and confused!" Mu Shangxuan pursed his lips, and found his evaluation with disdain for this "slaughter ban", and then waved his hand to Yao'er and said, "Don't worry, if you can't get meat, just come to the master." The master is also a meatless person, let the Sprinkle family be like the bald donkey in Sanshan, isn't that going to be old?

Chickens, ducks, sheep and dogs and other meat, Master came to find a way, if you want to eat fish, it is better to do it, we have a lot of fatty fish in this river after the White Horse View, and others dare not fish, if you want to eat fish in the future, we will go down the net!

Xuan Er curled up in the room, like a shrimp, it took a long time to breathe, he covered his lower abdomen, limped out of the room, heard Mu Shangxuan's hearty laughter as usual in the guest room, and couldn't understand why the master was obviously angry to the extreme, frightened to the extreme, why he was chatting with Yao'er now as hearty and generous as usual, and as unscrupulous.

"By the way, the disciple also heard a wonderful thing related to the master in the past two days......

Yao'er changed the topic as soon as his tone changed, and Mu Shangxuan was a little frightened as soon as he heard that it was related to him. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the news of his fall from grace was probably known to everyone in the entire court, and he himself must be the last to know. But even if everyone in the world knew about it, he didn't want anyone to tell it in front of him. It seems that as long as this open secret is not revealed to his face, his dream will not wake up.

Yao'er smiled and "inadvertently" told Mu Shangxuan that the Qin people had met Mu Shangxuan in their previous life two hundred years ago, and that Mu Shangxuan was the reincarnation of an immortal.

If you don't talk about this, Mu Shangxuan will know about it in a while, because after today's court meeting, this cause has spread. Tian Qiniang issued a "ban on slaughter" and appointed an old Taoist as the prime minister, of course, to give a good reason to the Manchu civil and military forces.

Otherwise, the court officials, the prime minister, such an important position, your queen can be casually given to a person who runs the rivers and lakes, how can you let those who can't find an official and a half position in the cold window for ten years, and can't be promoted to a first-order and a half-grade in a hundred battles? Are there any rules in this court? Is there still dignity to keep?

Although Tian Qiniang has become the Son of Heaven, there have been more things that break the rules and disrupt the order, but there are not too many things that are outrageous to this extent after all, don't you give everyone an explanation?

Regarding the news that Tian Qiniang herself is the reincarnation of Maitreya, Tian Qiniang did not make it clear in the edict, because doing so was obviously suspected of boasting, she just hinted at it, and the palace eunuchs and the Marquis of Anle who were waiting for her to go to the old mansion quickly spread what they saw and heard.

At this moment, the eunuchs who had just returned from Beishi were still boasting to passers-by that the three immortals did not dare to use spells under the Buddha's light of the queen king, so as not to damage their own vitality. (To be continued......)
