Chapter 707: Too much deception

One hour was two hours, and Qi Jiguang waited outside Yan Songmen for half an hour before being summoned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After Qi Jiguang walked into Yan Song's room, Zhu Ping'an retracted his gaze and began to deal with the official affairs that had accumulated due to the green words, and only after watching the two twists and turns, Yan Song began to ask people to hand in the green words he made, as for Qi Jiguang, who reported the military situation, Zhu Ping'an only had time to see his back when he walked out of the Wuyi Palace.

At around eleven o'clock, Zhu Ping'an felt that the entire Xiyuan was starting to be busy with Emperor Jiajing's Jiao activities.

Soon, the entire Xiyuan was full of smoke, and more than 1,000 catties of incense, candles, and paper were extinguished.

This is the second time Zhu Ping'an has participated in Emperor Jiajing's Jiao, and the last time was when he was in the Hanlin Academy.

This time Zhu Ping'an felt a little different from last time, last time he was in charge of writing and painting to arrange the venue, and this time he was worshipping with him, which was closer to the Zhaijiao Activity Center.

Yuan Wei, Li Chunfang and others are still responsible for writing green words on the altar, and when Zhu Ping'an met Yuan Wei, he felt the envy, jealousy and hatred in Yuan Wei's eyes, and seemed to have a big opinion on his early cabinet.

After the Jiao activity began, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but thank Li Shu for her foresight, and the soft leather shoes under her feet were really a Jiao artifact.

Repeatedly praying and kneeling in the Jiao activities, if he still wears the previous official boots, Zhu Ping'an estimates that he now has two waste feet, and now he is wearing this soft leather shoes, kneeling so much, Zhu Ping'an does not feel any discomfort in his legs and feet.

After kneeling and worshipping during the Jiao Festival, Zhu Ping'an quietly observed Tao Zhongwen, the old god stick, with a fluttering white beard, crane hair and a childish face, and an apricot yellow robe, which was quite a bit of fairy wind and bones.

But no matter how immortal wind and bones are, they can't change the essence of his old god stick.

After the Jiao Festival was about to end, a Taoist boy urgently sent a letter, Tao Zhongwen opened it, his face was happy, and then he thanked Emperor Jiajing who was wearing a blue cloth gossip robe.

"Qiyu Zhenjun, the junior brother of the minister--- Qihe County Taoist priest Zhang Yansheng built the Daqing Bridge, and when dredging the river, he got a keel weighing 1,000 catties. It also highlights a vein of stone and sand, several zhang long, as if there is a god. This is a god from heaven, congratulations to the true monarch, congratulations to the true monarch......"

By reading Tao Zhongwen's lips, Zhu Ping'an knew the content of the letter in Tao Zhongwen's hand, and it turned out that he had dug up a golden bone.

Joist?

It's terrible to be uneducated, what a keel, that's the fossil of paleontology, okay.

Zhu Ping'an pursed his lips speechlessly.

However, Emperor Jiajing ate this set, and when he heard that the dragon was happy, Chrysostom opened his words, he allocated 200,000 taels of silver, and ordered him to build Yuanyue in Huguang Taihe Mountain, perform the ritual of calming the gods, and build Jiao to pray for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty.

Taihe Mountain, that is, Wudang Mountain, Xiangwu (Xuantian God, Xuanwu Emperor, Yousheng Zhenjun Xuantian God, Immeasurable Patriarch) once practiced here, is a famous Taoist mountain. Emperor Jiajing named Wudang Mountain as the first mountain in the world. Whenever there is a major event, Emperor Jiajing will let people eat Jiao in Wudang Mountain.

Hemp eggs! Tao Zhongwen, the old god of the country!

Zhu Ping'an couldn't help it, and scolded Tao Zhongwen, the old god, in his heart.

The last time I was fasting, I wrote green words on the altar, and I was full of guts, but I just kept more than ten brushes dipped in gold dust in my sleeve.

But with a letter, this old god cheated a full 200,000 taels of silver from Emperor Jiajing.

200,000 taels is not a small amount.

Last year, there was a great drought in Ningxia and Gansu, and people had nothing to eat, so they couldn't eat each other, and the imperial court only distributed 200,000 taels of silver for disaster relief.

Tao Zhongwen, an old god stick, a paleontological fossil, took the disaster relief funds from two provinces from the treasury......

Zhu Ping'an couldn't be more disgusted with Tao Zhongwen, the old god.

Cultivate your way in the deep mountains, recite your scriptures, and come to toss my Ming! The overthrow of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later, there is a lot of "credit" to these magic sticks, otherwise why would the Ming Dynasty lose to that extent.

At this time, Tao Zhongwen, who has a fairy wind and a childish face, is becoming more and more obscene and ugly in Zhu Ping'an's eyes......

Because of the "dragon bone", Emperor Jiajing Longyan Dayue, Yan Song, who performed well in this Zhaijiao activity, also received a special commendation from Emperor Jiajing, and was rewarded with a "green hat" that must have been made by himself.

Yuan Wei also received a special commendation from Emperor Jiajing, and in this Jiao Festival, Yuan Wei made a green word that was also favored by Emperor Jiajing.

Li Chunfang is also a young man who has been dreaming all night, and he was also favored by Emperor Jiajing.

As for Zhu Ping'an, like other people who participated in the Jiao Festival, he only received a reward from Emperor Jiajing for "other officials to give him a pound of ice".

Yuan Wei wore Emperor Jiajing's special reward ear fragrant leaf crown, walked past Zhu Ping'an with high spirits, and when he passed in front of Zhu Ping'an, he glanced at Zhu Ping'an, and deliberately flicked the fragrant leaf crown, and walked away from Zhu Ping'an's eyes with a complacent expression.

"Bringing a green hat, and being so proud, is really a model of forgiveness."

Zhu Ping'an looked at Yuan Wei's back and pouted speechlessly.

When Emperor Jiajing fasted at noon, he was still happy, but when he was about to get off work in the afternoon, his temper came to the cabinet.

Under the temper of Emperor Jiajing, the cabinet was like a boat about to capsize in a storm.

This was the first time Zhu Ping'an saw Emperor Jiajing lose his temper.

When Emperor Jiajing stepped into the cabinet, Zhu Ping'an felt a great pressure, lowered his head like a quail, and knelt on the ground with everyone to plead guilty.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing lost his temper was that Chrysostom Yuyan allocated 200,000 taels to order Tao Zhongwen to perform the ritual of calming the gods and building Jiao in Wudang Mountain.

The problem is on these 200,000 taels.

After the Jiao Festival, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War wrote at this juncture, and the Ministry of Household said that the expenses for disaster relief and military expenditures were huge, and the treasury was in short supply; The Ministry of Industry said that the cost of repairing the city wall of the capital was huge; The military department said that there was a famine in Xuanfu and Datong, and Shangshu asked for a military salary of 300,000 silver for relief......

In short, there is a shortage of treasury silver.

Three books to Emperor Jiajing, please withdraw the 200,000 taels from the inner treasury for the cost of Taihe Mountain Jianyuanyue.

What is the Inner Library?

The inner treasury is a concept corresponding to the national treasury, which is the inner transport treasury, which is the small treasury of Emperor Jiajing, and the private money that Emperor Jiajing has worked hard to "save", such as the income of the imperial village under the name of Emperor Jiajing, the income of local officials, ethnic minority leaders, and the tribute income from the direct attack of the Ming vassal state to Emperor Jiajing, the annual pocket money allocated from the treasury, the mining tax that is intercepted and retained, and the eunuchs sent to various places to collect the mining tax, mountain tax, grave tax, river tax, etc......

It's not easy to save.

This is the lifeblood of Emperor Jiajing, and it is the reliance of Emperor Jiajing's cultivation and alchemy.

Emperor Jiajing's cultivation of immortal alchemy costs a lot, musk, dansha, mercury, lead, mica, lead mother and other alchemy materials are expensive, the amount of Jiajing Emperor's cultivation of immortal alchemy is astronomical, alchemy is like burning money.

Emperor Jiajing did not pay attention to the treasury, but if the treasury money was spent on alchemy, the ministers would resolutely not allow it, and they would be a little brainless and even risk their lives...... Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to dispel the idea of using treasury money for alchemy.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing could only rely on the inner library to support the cultivation and alchemy.

In Emperor Jiajing's view, Jianyuanyue's soothing ceremony is the same as the Fengzen Taishan sacrifice to the sky, which is to pray for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, which should have been paid from the treasury.

Now that the minister actually wants Emperor Jiajing to pay money from the inner treasury, how can Emperor Jiajing endure it.

Alchemy, you don't let me use the treasury money, okay, I use my own private money! Now, Jianyuan Yue performed the ritual of calming the gods, which should have been before your treasury came out, but now you want to use my private money!

The deception is too great!

You guys are so big!
