Chapter 108: Life is short

Under the operation of the emperor, even the officials' money was changed to paper money. In view of www.biquge.info credibility of the imperial court since the issuance of paper money, even many families did not oppose this proposal.

However, later, due to several natural disasters in just a few years, the northern eagle and the northeast Tuhun people have been on the border, so the imperial court's finances cannot make ends meet, and the emperor has no choice but to increase the issuance of paper money several times in a row.

The family and the gatekeeper have always been the most sensitive people with a sense of smell, and when they found out that the imperial court had begun to issue paper money indiscriminately, they immediately ordered the people to exchange the paper money in their hands from the banker for gold and silver. Although the emperor was very angry, he didn't want to be attacked by the world's families, so most of the gold and silver in the money village were hollowed out by the family lords.

Although the rulers of the family and the gate valve are smart, those small merchants and small landlords also have their own way, and they also smelled something wrong, and began to follow the example of the big family and the gate valve, wanting to exchange the coins in their hands back to gold and silver.

However, the problem came, the emperor specified, there is not much gold and silver left in the money bank under the name of the imperial court, and the rest must be used for emergency purposes, where can I exchange it for others" Qian Zhuang did not dare to refuse the exchange of those powerful gate valve families, but there was no good voice for those small landlords, small businessmen and even small family small door valves. Want to exchange banknotes? There are no doors!

In this way, the small landlords, small merchants, and small families are naturally anxious, but their strength is weak, and although they are very resentful of the imperial court in their hearts, they are helpless.

It's just that since then, paper money has never been recognized by the people.

In the end, the issuance of banknotes could only become a farce, which not only failed to provide convenience for the lives of the world, but also caused civil turmoil, greatly reduced the prestige of the imperial court, and greatly intensified the various behaviors of the family lords to erode the foundation of the imperial court.

Although some people in the court later proposed that the officials' salaries should be used in kind such as cloth, rice, and grain as before, the emperor did not let go, because the officials from the family of the gate lords had never relied on the money to live, and did not take the matter to heart, and did not argue with the emperor, so the matter was settled.

The really unlucky people are those good officials who are known for their incorruptibility, some of them are not well-off in their families, and the whole family is counting on a little money from men to live, so that even food and clothing are a problem.

Now Li Shimin rewards Zhang Tianhua for a month, what is the difference between it and no reward?

Zhang Tianhua's mood is naturally very bad.

In the imperial study, as Master Zhiqing slowly walked in, Li Shimin stepped forward, and he was about to salute the old monk first: "Disciple to meet the teacher." ”

"Don't dare" Master Zhiqing held Li Shimin with both hands, and didn't even let him bend his waist: "Amitabha, Your Majesty doesn't want to kill Lao Gao, Lao Wei is just an idler outside the party, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's courtesy?" ”

Li Shimin saw that the old monk insisted on not letting himself worship, so he no longer insisted on it, as the supreme in the world, he had his own pride, if it was not a last resort, he would not choose to bow his head to anyone and be small.

He smiled slightly and said, "The teacher has worked hard from afar, and the disciple has never been far away, so please forgive the teacher." ”

Master Zhiqing put his hands together slightly and said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is serious, I don't know what is important for Your Majesty to summon the old man here?" ”

Li Shimin sighed softly, but said to the only little eunuch standing in the room: "You go outside, let the guards of the imperial study retreat to fifty meters away, and no one is allowed to come within fifty meters of the imperial study during my conversation with the master." ”

This little eunuch is a servant who was rearranged by the emperor to serve him after Liu Jin left, after all, the emperor has been pampered since he was a child, and he has a lot of responsibilities and many things. It's impossible to do many things by yourself, and it's only natural to choose someone to serve you personally.

The little eunuch bowed and replied, 'Yes, Your Majesty, the slave remembers. After saying that, he bowed down and exited the outside of the imperial study.

After a while, although it was estimated that the little eunuch and the guards had retreated, Li Shimin still said to Master Zhiqing: "Please also ask the teacher to sense whether there are still people within fifty meters." ”

Master Zhiqing sensed it for a moment, and then said slightly: "Amitabha, there is no one within sixty meters. ”

The emperor nodded, with Master Zhiqing's unrivaled inner family cultivation, it was impossible to sense mistakes.

Li Shimin's face showed a touch of sadness: "Master, do you know that I have died soon?" ”

Hearing this, even if Master Zhiqing has read all the vicissitudes of the world, the mental cultivation that has long been unstained with dust is also shocking, and the life of the king of a country is not long, which can involve the wealth and fortune of tens of millions of people, and it is a major event that splashes the sky.

The "Amitabha" monk is so troublesome, no matter what he says, he likes to recite the name of the Buddha first, especially when he is excited, even if he is a master of martial arts such as Master Zhiqing. His face was solemn, and he said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to stretch out your hand and let the old man check your pulse." ”

But all those who practice martial arts will more or less know a little bit of medical skills, after all, they often fight with people and get injured, sometimes in the wilderness, it is impossible to find a doctor to help treat the wounds, and many times they need to treat the wounds by themselves, and find suitable herbs. If you don't understand some medical skills, people in the martial arts can't live long at all.

Shaolin has a long history, the inheritance of years can not be verified, medical skills are taught as a compulsory course for monks, Master Zhiqing, as the abbot of Shaolin, is one of the best.

If other people wanted to diagnose the emperor's pulse, Li Shimin would definitely not mind sending that guy to the Western Heavens, just like the imperial doctor who diagnosed his life soon. But since Li Shimin took the initiative to invite Master Zhiqing from the Shaolin Temple in Huangshan to the capital, and admitted his physical condition to him, he naturally would not refuse the old monk to take his pulse.

Li Shimin stretched out his hand and said to Master Zhiqing, "Teacher, please."

Master Zhiqing stretched out his middle finger and gently put it on Li Shimin's wrist, and after a while, he put his finger down, his face was solemn, and said: "Amitabha, Your Majesty is too worried, the root of the disease has accumulated for too long, and the old man is ashamed, and there is nothing he can do about it."

When Li Shimin heard this, although he had been prepared in his heart, he still couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and he forced a laugh: "It's okay, my body knows very well, I have been reading all night, and I have stayed up too late, and I have always felt powerless recently, I really can't do it!" Speaking of the last few sentences, Li Shimin's voice was a little hoarse, even if he was a generation of emperors, after all, he also had the fear of death. At this point, everyone is equal in the world. (To be continued.) )
