Chapter 209: The Heavenly Master Arrives
After Wang Yue entered the palace, he saw Zhu Houxi staring at the map of the capital while flipping through the perpetual calendar, sighing and sighing, and his brows twisted into the hemp flowers of Tianjin.
As soon as Wang Yue came, he couldn't help but say, "Have you checked the date of my wedding?" Can the days be auspicious? β
"Auspicious! Of course, it's auspicious, it's the day of the triumph of the old king's great destruction of the tartars! Wang Yue said: "Your Majesty, don't you think it's appropriate?" β
"This ......" takes the day of triumph as the date of the wedding, which is of course a good thing.
Zhu Houxi was speechless, Wang Yue's arrangement was very much in line with his expectations.
But the problem is that this triumphant day may not be suitable for marriage!
"Wang Yue, come here!" Zhu Houxi called Wang Yue to his side, "Look, this day is not suitable for marriage." What's more, Qin Tianjian said that if the dragon vein of the West Mountain is shaken, it will lead to disaster...... On the day of my wedding, there will be a tengu eclipse day! Speaking of this, Zhu Houxi's little face turned white.
Wang Yue looked at the map, looked at the perpetual calendar in Zhu Houxi's hand, and almost instantly, he understood what was going on.
It stands to reason that his influence on Zhu Houxi is not small, almost all-round...... But I'm sorry, Xiao Zhu is superstitious, and Wang Yue really can't save it.
In fact, Zhu Houxi has always felt that he can become the emperor, which is really destiny. It is blessed by the gods.
So this kid has been in the palace, worshipping the Taishang Daojun devoutly.
Not only that, but during the Chinese New Year, Zhu Houxi also hand-copied a copy of the Tao Te Ching and gave it to Wang Yue, so that Xiao Fugui could also learn the 5,000-word proverbs so that he could catch up with him as soon as possible.
Holding Zhu Houxi's handwritten book, Wang Yue couldn't cry or laugh. This thing is really a treasure, if it can be kept for 500 years, it may be auctioned for a sky-high price.
If the children and grandchildren have no interest and lose the family business, it is estimated that they can still rely on this Tao Te Ching to make a comeback.
But the problem is, that's all.
In any case, Wang Yue will not believe that it is useful to pray to God and worship Buddha, he has never relied on the immortal emperor in these years, and his happy life depends on himself!
It's just that when he crossed over, Zhu Houyu had already formed his own three views, and under the influence of King Xingxian, Zhu Houyu was particularly devout to the affairs of the gods.
Shake Feng Shui and affect Providence...... Just thinking of this, Zhu Houxi's head swelled...... I have to say that Yang Tinghe was smart all his life, but he didn't find Zhu Houxi's weakness, and Jiang Mian was blue.
When he saw Wang Yue coming, he said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, Your Majesty's wedding is extraordinary, and it is a major event celebrated by the whole world. There must be no mistakes, and we, as courtiers, should be cautious. β
Wang Yue stiffened his face, "What advice does Shoufu have?" β
Jiang Mian said: "I mean that the Xishan side will stop mining and then reschedule the wedding date...... Then send the minister to the West Mountain to worship the Shengming. β
"With Your Majesty's piety, you will definitely be able to move the heavens, and the tengu will retreat, and everything will disappear, and everything will be easy to say."
Jiang Mian was also very considerate and said: "Even if it is necessary to mine the coal of Xishan, you can wait and say, Lord Wang, after all, nothing is as important as His Majesty's wedding!" β
What a loyal Shousuke-sama.
said all the words to Zhu Houxi's heart.
This kind of thing, in the final analysis, is rather to believe it than not to believe it. Zhu Houxi had such an attitude, "Wang Yue, this time Yuanfu's proposal is always serious, you go back immediately, discuss it again, and see how to remedy it." β
Wang Yue pondered for a moment, finally nodded, and immediately came out of the palace.
For more than a year, in the face of Zhu Houxi, Wang Yue has always been invincible.
When did the Son of Heaven refute his opinion?
But this time, he actually adopted Jiang Mian's advice.
To put it mildly, it can even be said that Wang Yue's holy family has declined.
β¦β¦
"Boy, you're so good at teaching people this time, right? When it comes to peeking into people's hearts, how to serve the emperor, you are still far away! β
The one who can teach Wang Yue such an unceremonious lesson is naturally the old man Yang Yiqing.
After he listened, he saw it clearly.
"Boy, don't think about it, there's no solution to this matter!"
Yang Yiqing analyzed: "You think, since the Son of Heaven likes to listen, it is impossible for him to be indifferent." As long as the Son of Heaven has a move, the cabinet can be said to be the Son of Heaven sincerely touching heaven and earth, and the rescue is meritorious. In the past, this may have been with the help of providence to suppress the new monarch. But now that the great gift has been agreed, Your Majesty has no such worries, how can you still advise Your Majesty? β
The old man put his hands together, held the cane in his arms, leaned over and said to Wang Yue: "Boy, the old man will tell you again, there is another layer here, even if Qin Tianjian is wrong, Jiang Mian can say that they care about the Son of Heaven, and this heart is still good...... You get the idea, right? β
Wang Yue's face was pale, which was also the reason why he didn't argue with Jiang Mian in the palace, and he also saw the trickiness in it!
"What a calculation! If only they could put that mind to business! Wang Yue raised his head, "Ministry, the coal in Xishan is actually very important!" β
Yang Yiqing groaned: "Isn't it just to light firewood?" As for the fuss? β
"Why not!"
Wang Yue lowered his voice, "I advise Your Majesty to clean up the acres of land and reduce the taxes of the people, which contains an idea of expanding the market, and the people have money in their hands...... The number of people who buy coal for the winter will increase greatly, and the income from mining coal can be used to speed up the construction of the outer city. This is a complete set of layouts! β
Yes!
Yang Yiqing's mouth gradually opened, revealing a few teeth...... What a lean and calculating Wang Yue!
In fact, many people may not understand what Wang Yue is doing.
As soon as Zhu Houxi defeated Yang Tinghe, he was about to move the land, the finances were empty, he wanted to build an outer city, he couldn't see the financial resources, and he actually wanted to run a school in the overall situation...... Looking at it alone, nothing is right, and it can even be said that I don't know what to do, I don't have the point, and I toss around.
But look down from a higher angle, and show God's perspective.
You will find that any change, although there must be a key breakthrough, but it is always a system engineering, not just doing one thing alone.
It's like rectifying the military system, thinking that if you catch the soldiers and warriors, you will be able to gain a firm foothold.
It would be naΓ―ve to think so. Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde can't say bad about Wufu, he has been patrolling the border for a long time, and he is always accompanied by tens of thousands of elites.
The question is why these tens of thousands of elite soldiers failed to protect him?
Soldiers must have a source, and the funds for raising soldiers must have a source.
A simple truth is that those children of good families who have been given land and reduced taxes can easily become loyal soldiers when they enter the army.
Is it comparable to those homeless people who wander the streets casually and are attracted by military pay?
And it depends on money to raise soldiers?
How does the money come from?
Zhu Houzhao established many imperial villages, set up a large number of town guards and eunuchs, and asked them to find ways to collect money.
It is true that the military expenses for supporting tens of thousands of people have been obtained, but the mess left behind by the upward and downward effects is extremely huge...... Therefore, if we want to really raise troops, we must sort out the finances and taxes, establish a stable and reliable source of military spending, and distribute them reasonably and fairly, so that we can convince the people and gain loyalty......
Yang Yiqing pondered Wang Yue's words, and a shocked look appeared on his face!
"Good boy, your intentions are deep enough!"
Wang Yue smiled helplessly, "I'm in trouble with my intentions...... I didn't expect that I was invincible to the ethereal feng shui theory, which is really unwilling! β
Yang Yiqing was calm and said with a smile: "Boy, don't be discouraged, Feng Shui Dragon Vein, Heaven and Man Induction, this has been used for thousands of years, how can you crack it at once." β
Wang Yue snorted, "What can't I crack?" β
He stood up angrily and said with his hands: "My father intercepted a group of barbarians last year, and now after a few months, they have adapted to the life of the Ming Dynasty, and one of them is proficient in astronomy...... I've had people ask and he said there won't be a solar eclipse in the near future...... That is, the Tengu Eclipse Day! β
Yang Yiqing couldn't help laughing, "Boy, can you believe the words of a barbarian?" β
"Barbarian?" Wang Yue laughed and said, "They have completed most of their round-the-world voyage, and they have gone farther than the Three Treasure Eunuchs!" They were proficient in navigation, and even more so in astronomical arithmetic. If you didn't have these skills, you would have been buried in the sea a long time ago, which can't be faked! If you want me to say, their ability is definitely better than that of the Qin Heavenly Prison! What's more, those people have ill intentions, and it's hard to say what kind of calculations they are making! β
Yang Yiqing also stood up on crutches in surprise.
He paced back and forth, and after a long while, he said to Wang Yue, "Boy, are you sure that there will be no Tengu Eclipse Day?" β
"No!"
The old man sat down again, staring straight ahead, and suddenly, he slapped his thigh!
"Boy, do you dare to bet?"
Wang Yue muttered: "What does the ministry mean...... Is it for me to go and advise His Majesty? β
"No!" Yang Yiqing shook his head, "You go or I can't do this, even if what we say is right, we can't convince the public." β
Wang Yue bowed his head heavily, if he hadn't thought about this, he would have gone to tell Zhu Houxi a long time ago.
"Ministry, you are an experienced old man, can you give me an idea?"
Yang Yiqing smiled slightly, "Boy, this time you know that you have to use the old man's means, right?" β
What else could Wang Yue say, he could only humbly say: "I already knew in my later life that your old man has unparalleled wisdom, boundless mana, immortal blessings and eternal enjoyment, and longevity and heaven ......."
"That's it!"
Yang Yiqing hurriedly stopped Wang Yue and didn't let him talk nonsense.
"A friend of the old man, who came from Longhu Mountain two days ago, can just solve this matter!"
β¦β¦
"Your Majesty, Shao Yuanjie of the Qing Palace on Caomin Longhu Mountain, meet Your Majesty!"
Zhu Houxi saw that the old Taoist priest was dressed plainly, but the fairy wind was unusual, so he couldn't help but walk down and personally support him.
"Immortal Chief, my father said your name in the past!"
Shao Yuanjie also smiled and said: "Your Majesty's destiny has returned, and the grass people have long wanted to see Long Yan, but King Ning invited the grass people back then. The grass people rejected King Ning, if they went to Xingwang's mansion, they were afraid that it would cause criticism! β
Only then did Zhu Houxi remember that this old Taoist had already seen through King Ning's inability to do things, and he was really an old immortal!
"Immortal Chief, I'm worried about the big wedding now, can Immortal Elder give me some guidance?" Zhu Houxi looked at the old Taoist priest with anticipation......
