Chapter 50 The Political Affairs Hall Skillfully Solved the Legacy of the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet Yang Yong stole the spotlight
Imperial Palace Hall.
At this time, Emperor Wen was looking through the recital from the Ministry of War. After a while, Emperor Wen slammed the notebook on the dragon case with a bang, and said to the person below: "Su Aiqing, what you did is the truth?" ”
"Your Majesty, the so-called no wind and no waves, now that it is autumn, the Tugu Hun has already experienced a spring drought, and the grain production has decreased, so it is not surprising to send troops to plunder my Guanzhong Plain at this time. Even if the rumors are false, Weichen thinks he has to guard against it. Su Xiaoci, the squire of the military department, bowed his head and said at the bottom of the steps. After finishing speaking, he turned his head to the right and glanced at Yang Su on the side.
"What does the Prime Minister think?" Emperor Wen once again looked at Prime Minister Gao Xi of the left, and he hoped that Gao Xi could come up with a countermeasure.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although the Wuwei garrison is small, it is guarded by a strong city. The general Yu Zhongye is a famous general of our dynasty, and he has a lot of experience in dealing with foreign captives, so don't worry about this road. However, if the king of Tubo raises troops to attack my Hanzhong and Longnan line, although the road is difficult and dangerous, our army also has troops stationed on the main road of Chencang, but for the sake of all plans, an army can be stationed in Meiwu, and a heir of Chencang can rush to the nearest aid in case of emergency. "Gao Xi has no other way, it is a matter of time before Tuyuhun commits a border, and it is not necessary to plan and deploy it as soon as possible.
"Hmmm! Then according to the plan of the Ministry of War, the first army will be transferred to Meiwu as soon as possible. Emperor Wen thought that Gao Xi's plan was feasible and a complete strategy.
Yang Su, Guo Yan and other princelings all looked happy after hearing this.
Yang Er caught a glimpse of the expressions on Yang Su and the others' faces, and knew the details inside. whispered to Yang Yong, the crown prince standing beside him, and whispered: "Big brother makes a good means!" ”
"Brother Huang, why do you say this? My brother just lifted the ban by mistake, for fear that he would cause any more chaos and cause his father to blame, what other means are there. Yang Yong said expressionlessly.
"That Meiwu is only a hundred miles away, and it will be here in an instant, and the eldest brother has made a good move! Hehe! Yang Er said sarcastically.
"This is the intention of the father, if the emperor's brother has a better plan, he can also say it to his father in court, why bother to speak sour here?" Yang Yong turned to face Emperor Wen and no longer paid attention to Yang Er.
Seeing this, Yang Er just kept laughing in his heart, and said in his heart, it is also a land of 100 miles, and my Shaohua Mountain in the east hides 10,000 elite horses, is it difficult to outrun more than 10,000 of your foot soldiers, self-righteousness, very funny.
"Your Majesty, the minister still has a play." There is one of the civil servants who is on the job, and he is the servant of Su Wei.
"Su Qing, what's the other play? Only pipes come. Emperor Wen said softly.
"Your Majesty, the day before yesterday, His Royal Highness the King of Jin asked for a move to Beijing and the exiles in Hedong. At present, it is going well, but there is a group of displaced people of about 1,000 people, who are not satisfied with the eastward migration. Gang up in the market. What's more, they thought that the porridge water was not thick, and beat me up to help the porridge staff. All of them are lazy and lazy, and the soldiers of the Yafu in Chang'an County are also dispersed, and it is inconvenient to arrest them. I am afraid that it will become bigger and disturb the order of the Beijing Division. This matter was caused by the eastward migration of the King of Jin, and how to end it is up to His Majesty to decide. Su Wei's words landed loudly, and the current situation of the displaced people was pushed on King Jin. The crown prince Yang Yong on the side laughed softly as if watching a lively show.
"Father, the son has a way to completely solve the homeless people in the market." When Emperor Wen was in a dilemma, Yang Er went out to play.
"What is the emperor's plan to dig the roots, although it is said." When Emperor Wen saw his second son's confident expression, he couldn't help but be overjoyed again, and secretly praised his son's quick thinking.
"There are many rich and noble families in the capital, and my father can issue an edict that if there are officials in this rich family, each family must place at least one person as a slave. With a decree from my father, more than a thousand idle people could be looted in an instant. As soon as Yang Er's words came out, the whole hall burst into laughter. Even Emperor Wen nodded frequently and laughed.
"Then according to the emperor's words, if the displaced people in the capital appear in the future, then the big families in the vicinity will be fined 50 taels of silver, and the matter will be handed over to the supervision of Jingzhao Mansion Yin. In addition, the household department demolished the porridge shed and stopped providing relief. If there are displaced people entering the city at each city gate to verify their identity, if there are no relatives or friends to take refuge in them, they are not allowed to be put into the city. After Emperor Wen finished speaking, he breathed a sigh of relief and was satisfied with the complete settlement of this homeless people.
Among the officials in the full hall, only Yang Yong, Su Wei, Yang Su and a few others did not choose their hearts and smiled bitterly. I thought that I could take advantage of the legacy of the eastward migration policy to make Emperor Wen reprimand King Jin, but King Jin easily resolved it. Of course, the whole court discussion is also more gain than loss for the princelings, after all, the most important strategy of transferring troops into Beijing is perfectly realized. It was the soldiers who were secretly operated by the king of Yue who directly transferred their soldiers and horses, even the Meiwu city stationed west of Chang'an was much closer than the Hedong County of the king of the Jin Dynasty.
"The day after tomorrow, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I plan to taste wine and admire the moon with Zhong Aiqing in the back garden of the palace, and Zhong Aiqing can bring his family to go with me. That's all for today's court discussion! Scattered Dynasty. "Emperor Wen is in a good mood today, in general, in the three years since the opening of the emperor, the entire border of the Great Sui Dynasty is quite peaceful, and the dynasty is developing towards a stable and upward trend. In particular, the emergence of refined salt not only made the people affordable, but also saw the improvement of the quality of life of the people, and the people of Chang'an City had a long-lost smile on their faces. This is the credit of me, and it is also the credit of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty! It coincides with this festival of family reunion, so why not spend it with all the civil and military forces?
Two days later, a new event occurred in Chang'an City that caused a sensation in the whole city, and even alarmed the entire royal family. That is the official sale of the first phase of the stock warrants of Huichun Tang. In the first few years, 50 taels of silver was not much for the middle class, and Chang'an City gathered rich people from all over the country. The sale of stock warrants by Huichun Tang quickly spread among the wealthy and official circles, and a round of panic buying ensued, with the first to be sold out was a class I stock warrant worth 10,000 taels of silver, because the total number was only 30, and it could not meet the needs of the top rich and high-ranking officials in Chang'an City. Immediately after that, the second-class stock warrants worth 1,000 taels of silver were also sold out. Because of the largest number of the three types of warrants, they became the last to be sold out. There are a total of 3 top stock warrants, and only one is left for sale after it is listed. Rich people also know the deep meaning of this top stock certificate, no matter how high the official position is, how rich the family is, they do not dare to buy this top stock certificate.
As a result, the silver that flowed into the account room of the Rejuvenation Hall was piled up, and just carrying these silver taels into the warehouse made the guards of the Jin Palace's palace tired and half dead. Lu Zhaolin was weak and weak in signing in the purchase voucher by hand. Zhong Jian and Izuchen jumped to their feet with excitement, they had seen so much silver! The calmest person in the entire Rejuvenation Hall was Sun Simiao, no matter how lively it was outside, he was meditating in his quiet room, his face expressionless, chanting Taoist scriptures. The disciples who used to meditate and practice with him were not seen at this time, and they were all busy under the command of Lu Zhaolin in the front hall!
In order to be safe, after the Huichun Hall received the huge amount of 750,000 taels of silver, under the instructions of Yang Er, all of them were transported by the Jin Wangfu family to the underground vault of the palace for storage. The drug fee of the Huichun Hall Pharmacy or the designated city pharmacy shall be settled in a unified manner at the account office of the King of Jin on a monthly basis, and there will be no arrears.
When the day's work was about to end and the day was already dark, the Rejuvenation Hall was about to close, a mysterious buyer came, no one could know the identity of this person from the dress, and quietly disappeared after pocketing the last top Rejuvenation Hall stock certificate.
The sale of stock certificates in the Huichun Hall during the day also became a major topic of discussion at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in the royal court in the back garden of the palace in the evening. Every official, every prince, and every general present were talking about it, and the purchaser was extremely happy, as if he had to extend his life for ten years. Those who did not receive it were extremely depressed, and they couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh. With the fermentation of the incident, everyone now knows that this is the operation of the Jin Wangfu behind the scenes, and everyone is impressed by the Jin King's ability to collect money.
The time has come, and the hundreds of officials and their families have found their seats according to their grades and waited.
"The Holy Lady has arrived, and the officials are waiting for her. . . ." With a sharp prolonged note from the eunuch of the Yellow Gate. Everyone present stood up and shouted: "Welcome to the Holy Lord, welcome to the Queen Mother!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Wen and Queen Dugu slowly walked into the banquet hall surrounded by many eunuchs and palace maids, and sat down with the main seat on the steps. Emperor Wen looked at the officials who were standing and bowing, and said softly, "The ministers sit down. After hearing this, the hundred officials sat down and waited for the emperor to give an opening speech.
"All the people present are the heroes who followed me to create this great Sui world, such as today's peace, the people live in peace, the treasury is full, and the Tartars dare not come easily, this is the image of the prosperous world. Today coincides with the full moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, I am very happy, and I have prepared a little wine and wine to spend this good night with the secretary to participate in the grand event. Come, all the ministers raise a glass and drink with me! With that, Emperor Wen raised his golden wine glass, and when everyone raised their glasses in their hands, he took the lead in drinking a glass of wine. Seeing this, Baiguan immediately raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.
Yang Er was also seated at the table at the bottom of the steps at this time, and he also drank the wine in the cup with everyone. I feel that the atmosphere is good, but the imperial wine in this palace is not satisfactory. So he got up and said to Emperor Wen: "Father, this moon is sultry and the feast is sumptuous, but this royal wine is not satisfactory." Erchen brewed a kind of wine called "Wuliangchun", and now brought 30 jars, the father and queen mother can taste it, and see how the child's craftsmanship is? “
"Oh, what else is it like that? Then hurry up and offer your five grains and springs, so that I and your father can taste it. Queen Dugu looked at Yang Er and said with a smile.
Immediately, there were eunuchs waiting nearby, and they hurriedly slapped off the wine jar on the side to seal the mud at the mouth of the altar, and took a pot of five-grain spring wine from the altar with silver wine utensils. Suddenly, Emperor Wen and Queen Dugu smelled a strong aroma of wine, and Queen Dugu hurriedly picked up the wine glass to carefully observe the fragrant Wuliang Spring Wine, and said to Yang Er: "How did Zhu'er make this mellow and clean wine, the queen mother was already drunk before tasting it." “
Emperor Wen also picked up his wine glass at this time, and looked at Yang Er suspiciously.
"Father and Queen Mother, the child has obtained this wine by refining it from the existing wine. The impurities in the original sake are removed, so the wine becomes pure like water in color, and the aroma is rich and sweet. Invite the queen and the queen to drink. Yang Er got up and said calmly, and everyone around him could hear it clearly.
Emperor Wen first took a small sip and put it on the tip of his tongue to feel it slowly, and then drank the wine in the cup.
"Huh! The five-grain spring made by the child is comparable to the fairy liquid! Beautiful, good wine, good wine! Someone came, and the people went to the turbid wine, and they all exchanged for drinking this five-grain spring wine. Let Zhongqing also taste this Yaochi wine. “
Emperor Wen was in a better mood at this time, and ordered to change the wine for the hundred officials. The eunuchs hurriedly opened all 30 jars of five-grain spring wine and poured them one by one for the hundred officials and their families.
"Your Majesty, when this beautiful scenery, food and wine should be remembered with poetry! Prime Minister Gao is a literary champion of our dynasty, and the lower officials implore Lord Gao to chant a poem about this, I don't know what Your Majesty thinks? Everyone looked up, and the proposer was the right prime minister, Han Hongye.
"Hehehehehe! Lord Han raised me Gao, and said that this beautiful scenery is natural, the food is given by His Majesty, and this wine is unparalleled in the world and is brewed by King Chitose of Jin. Although he is not very old, he is very talented, how can I be allowed to get an axe in this class! Let's let King Chitose of Jin take the month as the title Your Majesty, and offer us a new word! "Gao Xi is scheming and politically experienced, and he knows that this occasion is not a simple moon viewing banquet as people imagine, this is a silent struggle, and it is a battlefield for the prince and the king of Jin to compete for favor in front of His Majesty. King Jin has already taken the lead in offering fine wine, and the next thing is how the prince's party fights back, since it is a fight between the gods, then it is better for us mortals not to participate in the bystanders. Gao Xi talked and laughed about the problem, and lost it to King Jin.
"This --- father, the child usually likes guns and sticks, and does not like words. The wine is not good at poetry. What the tall man asked for was embarrassing for the child. Yang Er thought that only the literati in the Tang Dynasty liked to drink and chant poetry, but he really didn't expect that this trend had been opened in the early days of the Sui Dynasty. was taken advantage of by that Han Hong, this step is clearly to show his own ugliness!
"Father, there are a few good words here in this situation, why don't you chant it once on behalf of the second brother." Yang Yong saw his younger brother Yang Guang deflated on the spot, and he was inexplicably happy. Yesterday, Han Hong gave himself a ready-made poem to memorize it for him to cope with tonight's banquet, and it seems that this is the time.
"Oh! Yong'er already has a poem in her belly? Come quickly and recite it to help the wine. Hehe! Zhong Aiqing raised his glass. Emperor Wen was very happy at this time, he didn't expect the prince to be able to improvise a poem, so much so that he didn't expect it. It seems that it is still effective to let him think about it in the middle of the house.
Yang Yong walked to the aisle in the middle of the banquet with a glass of wine and began his performance: while pacing, he read out the memorized poems aloud.
"The pure land is connected to the valley, and the pagoda is in danger. Lin Qi Dan cave phoenix, the white salon of the earth.
The single rock building comes out, and the compound pavilion is overlapping. The cave opens towards the fog, and the stone is wet and the clouds are thick.
High and low cloud cover, wind branches ringing and bells. The eaves are turned over the fine willows, and the shadow of the stream falls and the long pines.
The pearl floats in the bright moon, and the rosette spits hibiscus. The hidden disciples have intentions, and their hearts have not followed. ”
"Okay, the prince is really talented!" The servant shot the prince Su Wei and applauded loudly as soon as the prince finished the lawsuit. There are also many people who nod their heads frequently and applaud constantly. Emperor Wen looked at Queen Dugu and her face was full of joy, and the queen was also smiling. Obviously, this is an endorsement of his eldest son, but it feels too sudden.
Suddenly, a strange voice came, and the audience was silent, as if they had been slapped on the head!
