Chapter 92: The Nursery Rhyme Curse
Ji Yijiu is a smart person, but he is not an arbitrary hero. When he saw that the wind direction had changed drastically, he was naturally reluctant to blow everyone's mind. Although he originally wanted to abolish Zhou Zhao, he accidentally obtained the worship of the blood capital of the digging flower, so he did not suffer a loss.
So, Zhou Tianzi pretended to conclude: "Recently, the royal family has had a bad fate. First, there was Yu Shi's father and Bao Xi to interfere in politics, and then there was the dog Rong and Wang Ji. As a result, the first king died, and Yu Gonghan and the rest of his ministers trespassed. All of this depends on Zhou Zhao's reincarnation to be calmed. Now that the widow has ascended to the throne, he still needs to recuperate, and state affairs still need to be bothered by Zhou Zhao. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Yijiu couldn't help but glance at Wei Hou. The old man was dumbfounded and trembling. He had no choice but to quickly look away and continue to hug his thighs: "Uncle Zheng understands the righteousness and initiates the king of diligence, and his contribution is indispensable. His father went out for the first king and died in battle, and he was also a role model for everyone. Since everyone has elected it as the Holy Week calling, the widow is naturally happy to see it. ”
The situation was clear, the princes hurriedly stood in line, and the king's wise praise was endless. The likes of Yu and Wei were completely reduced to a minority.
Suddenly, Wei Hou stood up suddenly, the mat under his feet slipped and he almost fell on his head. He could no longer care about the gaffe, and shouted in a tone that was almost wailing: "Your Majesty, you must not! Once Zhou Zhao is the second passer, he will never be abolished in the future! ”
"Ouch, the Marquis of Wei has worked hard and is almost old, where have the courtiers of the country gone, hurry up and help it, don't fall!" Ji Yijiu was extremely slippery, and he talked about him left and right.
Wei Situ heard the announcement, and hurriedly rushed up from the hall, and hugged the trembling old master. Who knew that Wei Hou didn't appreciate it at all, so he gave up his old life and kicked him away.
The old man staggered down the aisle to dig a tug, and the wilted old hand poked him in the face: "Ji Ditu, Ji Ditu, a widow has been a widow all his life, and he was defeated in the hands of you." If you set up Zhou to summon the authority of the Son of Heaven, the ancestors and the ancestors will not let you go! ”
Di Tu suddenly sneered: "You hate Zhou Zhao so much, why did you want to be it in the first place?" ”
"You ......"
"Wei Hou, Wei Hou, you have indeed lived all your life, and the widow has always respected you as an opponent. If you continue to lose your temper like this, it will be a bit of a collapse. It's not a very shameful thing to let Zhou Zhao go, don't be unsure of this late season and completely ruin your image. ”
"You, the one who fooled around with the demon girl, must have borrowed the demon magic to bewitch everyone. You don't have to die well! Wei Hou not only didn't listen, but became even more hysterical, "The widow is to lose his temper, and the widow will not let you go!" ”
"the hell?" Digging Tu couldn't see others say that Zhong Ji was a demon girl, so he was also angry and decided to make up for it, "Your brother was seized of the position of a prince, and you forced him to die in the tomb of the first monarch, I don't know if he will let you go as a ghost!" ”
Wei Hou's eyes were wide open, the corners of his eyes were about to crack, and then the whites of his eyes rolled, and he suddenly turned his back on breath.
Everyone was in a hurry for a while, and the imperial doctor also rushed to pinch people. Wei Hou suddenly howled dryly and eased up. Wei Situ and Wei Sima were on the left and on the right, helping the limp master to slowly descend the hall. At this moment, the old man exerted his last strength and said viciously:
"The dragon is dead, and it is hidden. The hair became a turtle, and the child concubine was pregnant. The beauty is beautiful, and the sinner is dedicated to it. Hehe Zong Zhou, praise and extinguish! ”
At the end, Wei Hou turned his head, stared at the digging tu viciously, and added faintly: "Huanghuang Zhou Zhao, Zhong Xi ruined it!" ”
There was an eerie silence in the court. Zheng Bo's face turned pale, as if he had been accused of doing something unseemly. He clearly knew the lethality of this theory of ghosts and gods in the Spring and Autumn Period. As soon as Wei Hou said this, he was afraid that even if the princes surrendered on the surface, they would inevitably point fingers behind their backs.
"Wei Hou is old, it's time to rest!" Ji Yijiu came out to play a round and once again showed the skill of political balance, "Let's prepare for the coronation ceremony of the new Zhou Zhao as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Dig the slop and get off the donkey, and hurry up to make a big salute.
The next day, the bureaucrats of the Son of Heaven were busy. Zhou Situ, as the general manager, has a painful pain in the financial strain. The clever woman was embarrassed to cook without rice, so he had to turn to Zheng Guo businessmen and wanted to do things on credit. Suo, Xian, Candle and other families were so desperate that they didn't want to agree. As a result, he came and went, and he stabbed Zheng Bo.
When I heard it, it was okay. A few businessmen have hardened their wings, and they are not afraid of delaying the coronation ceremony of their masters. He hurriedly summoned the three divisions of the inner court to reprimand: "Why don't you give Zhou Situ credit?" ”
Suo Qiu looked at Xianke, and Xianke looked at Candle Twist, but he didn't dare to speak.
"Look, look, what to see? Candle Correction you are a businessman, you say! ”
"This, Situ has no credibility this week."
"Reputation?"
"Yes, he has already paid the account on credit, but he has not paid it on time, causing many merchants to lose money. Therefore, the Chamber of Commerce later came forward and demanded that all cash settlements be made and no longer accept credit. ”
"Then didn't you do the same business for the enthronement ceremony this time?"
"This time, the Son of Heaven only prepared the money for the enthronement ceremony!" Candle Jie explained, "Ji Yijiu didn't plan to hold the coronation ceremony in the first place, and now he is pushing all this additional expenditure to Zhou Situ to find a way, so everyone really doesn't dare to wade into this troubled water." ”
These people who dig out the sudden feeling are really stingy, and they are about to press it, but after thinking about it, if they are ready to build a country with business, the spirit of contract is very important. I'm afraid it's not appropriate to rely on the royal power to force me so much.
His eyes rolled and he thought about it: "It's about Zhou Zhao's coronation, and this time the widow pays for it." ”
"Pay?"
He stuck out his tongue and quickly explained the modern word: "It's the money that is outnumbered." ”
"But we are building a new capital and opening a canal, and our finances are also very tight."
"In this way, you will issue treasury bonds in the name of the public office, and set the annual interest rate according to the usual habit of the market to lend to each other. The materials you provide will be paid off with the national debt first, and then the income from the office will be repaid. ”
A few stingy people exchanged glances, seemingly reluctant. Although the treasury bonds with interest are more cost-effective, they know very well that the cost has been huge in the past few years, and the office does not know when the money will be repaid.
The digging was in a hurry, so he had to make a big move: "After returning to China, the widow plans to monopolize the salt, and the people are not allowed to buy and sell it privately." Do you want to do this business? ”
"Your Majesty!" The three of them quickly comprehended the power of the salt monopoly, and immediately changed their minds, "The ministers will discuss with Zhou Situ." ”
"You guys!" Digging Tu pointed at them dissatisfied, wondering if it was time to suppress the merchants. The situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty in which he could not collect industrial and commercial taxes but was forced to oppose the peasants was not what he wanted to face.
However, at the moment, he didn't have the time to study this, so he hurriedly entered the palace and sold favors to Zhou Tianzi.
Ji Yijiu was thinking about what to do next, and suddenly heard that Zheng Bo asked to see him, so he hurriedly sat upright, after all, he had to look at the other party's face for the next period of time.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, and I miss you a little, so you are here." Ji Yijiu smirked, and what he said was a little numb.
"The same is true of the minister. It is a privilege to receive this grace. ”
"If you don't see outside, don't keep calling yourself a minister. Zhou Zhao should have the appearance of Zhou Zhao. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare. If you are not crowned one day, and you are a courtier one day, how can you trespass? The minister came this time for the coronation ceremony. ”
"Oh?"
"The royal family was initially decided, and the cost was huge, and it was inevitable that it would be overstretched. In order to achieve the coronation ceremony, the minister heard that Situ did not hesitate to buy on credit again and again, and he couldn't bear it. Therefore, I came to ask for my life, and Zheng Guo arranged the ceremony to share the worries of the king. ”
When Ji Yijiu heard this, he was naturally very happy. But when I think of such a humble attitude, offering land and money, it is inevitable that my heart will beat a drum: What kind of calculation is Zheng Bo playing? In this world of deceit, such behavior is very illogical, so he didn't dare to agree for a while.
He saw the doubts of the Son of Heaven, but he couldn't explain it with the goal of crossing the game, so he had to plop down and perform with emotion: "Your Majesty, the minister has no other thoughts, but only hopes to gain your full trust." My father's earnest teachings would never allow me to become like the Marquis of Wei. ”
"Where and where, you are too worried, the widow just receives too much favor from you, and there is no way to repay it!" How could Ji Yijiu have the strength to put on a score, and when he heard this, he quickly expressed his position, and ran down to support Uncle Zheng.
Di Tuyi grabbed the other party's hand: "The courtier's heart can be seen by the sun and the moon, and there is no need to reciprocate." The minister only thinks about the world, not only to help the royal family stabilize, but also to reform the system and reshape the authority of the Son of Heaven! ”
