Chapter 87: None of them are good people
Tang Ming knew that he would never be able to hide from it anymore, although this matter was very tricky, but it was not impossible, after all, this era was a monarchy, and the world was not the emperor's land. Everything in the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to the emperor, as the so-called me is in charge of my territory, and it is not up to the emperor to decide how to get it.
"Back to Niangniang, this emperor can use Weichen, it is the honor of Weichen, but what he has the ability to do, Weichen naturally does not dare to shirk. Weichen is also confident that it is not difficult to find a way to get a little money, but after all, it is a major matter of the country, and the money that the emperor lacks is not one or two million taels, but a bottomless pit. ”
"These involve the livelihood of the people in the world and the country's system, and they are a big matter, and they will not be effective overnight. Fortunately, now that the country is peaceful, the emperor has been benevolent, and the people have resumed production, as long as they survive this difficult period, the road will be much smoother in the future. ”
Tang Ming didn't dare to take it all in, as I said just now, the emperor is poor not just because the emperor is poor, the emperor represents a country, and whether a country is rich or not is not just the emperor can be reflected. So what the queen said was not as simple as she thought.
If you want to completely get Daming out of poverty and become rich, it is not something that he Tang Ming can do with an idea. Therefore, he felt compelled to tell the queen what was at stake.
As the mother of a country and a virtuous queen, she naturally understands that this is difficult to do. It's not that there will be results overnight, she will force Tang Ming so much, and she only sees hope in him, so she wants to give him a try.
Now it seems that Tang Ming does not understand anything, on the contrary, judging from what he can say just now, he is the only one among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who can see the actual problem of the matter.
The queen thought to herself: "This kid is a lazy donkey, he takes a step with a whip, but he always hides when he has the ability, and he doesn't know how to take the initiative to help the emperor." was so slippery at a young age, and when he grew up in the future, he had to discipline and discipline him well. ”
"What Wei Haihou said is very true, but the mourning family also sees that you seem to be confident, and after the mourning family goes back, discuss it with the emperor, and then send someone to take you into the palace in the afternoon to discuss in detail." This is no longer asking for Tang Ming's opinion, and there is no room for the slightest hint of resistance.
At this point, Tang Ming could only agree to come down and send away the queen mother with a happy face, he didn't even have time to eat, so he ordered someone to prepare a horse and go straight to Qingshou Temple.
The queen mother came to the mansion early in the morning to exert her power, and she forced herself to do this important task, if Yao Guangxiao didn't know about it, she wouldn't believe it if she killed Tang Ming. He even doubted that the queen mother would find him so quickly, and Yao Guangxiao might be fanning the flames behind him.
Qingshou Temple is still deserted, not so much a temple as a residence for the emperor, specially for Yao Guangxiao. The emperor has mentioned more than once that he wants to build a mansion for Yao Guangxiao, but Yao Guangxiao, who has already had the idea of retiring and wants to fade out of the officialdom, refuses to agree to the Buddha.
Zhu Di really had no choice, and finally rewarded Qingshou Temple, which is not far from the palace, to Yao Guangxiao as a residence.
The sun had just risen, and the golden brilliance was sprinkled on the wide open wooden door, which seemed unusually quiet, and there was no little brother sweeping the floor in the courtyard. But I saw a bald old monk, sitting in meditation under the ancient tree in the courtyard, this person was Yao Guangxiao.
Wrong? Tang Ming stepped into the courtyard and smelled a familiar smell of wine, which was not the same as any other liquor except the distilled liquor he brewed. Looking in the direction of the smell of wine, I saw that the distilled liquor he gave to the emperor last night was on the stone table in front of Yao Guangxiao.
Could it be that the old monk also drank alcohol? With doubts in his head, Tang Ming stepped forward to greet: "Disciple Tang Ming greets Master." ”
Yao Guangxiao seemed to know that Tang Ming would come early in the morning, but he pretended not to say anything: "You kid came to me early in the morning, did you encounter any troubles that you can't solve?" Has the relationship with Fang Xiaoru eased? ”
"Master, the disciple and Uncle Fang talked in detail all night last night, and finally solved the misunderstanding between each other. The disciple came to the door early in the morning, because there was another matter that he didn't know, and he wanted to find the master to enlighten the disciple. Seeing that Yao Guangxiao wanted to change the topic, Tang Ming naturally didn't do it, and said it directly.
Finally opened his eyes and looked at Tang Ming, Yao Guangxiao actually picked up the wine jug and filled it with a glass and tasted it. After drinking the wine in the cup slowly, he answered the question: "Your wine is really good, and I can't resist the temptation of being a teacher for many years, so I deliberately asked the emperor for a jar." ”
Tang Ming rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "Since the master likes this mundane thing, the disciple should brew some more to be filial." Calculate the date, and in three or four days, the eldest brother in Suzhou's hometown will order someone to bring the wine, and the master will take it as much as he needs. ”
"Oh, didn't you say that this wine was not in stock in front of the Manchu Dynasty last night in front of the Manchu Dynasty? How can I pick and choose? And is it difficult for your wine to be brewed, and how much does it produce in a day? Yao Guangxiao tasted the aroma of wine in his mouth and asked curiously.
Although I am very puzzled, Yao Guangxiao, who has never drunk alcohol, why did he suddenly become interested in wine? But Tang Ming still said frankly: "This wine is actually not difficult to brew, that is, it is to use the wine made by others, and then add a unique steaming to improve its essence." What the disciple said last night was indeed exaggerated, but he was also forced to be helpless, and in order to sell this wine at a good price, he was forced to use some tricks. ”
The old monk nodded, seemed to be very satisfied with Tang Ming's answer, and finally turned back to the topic: "Did the queen mother go to you in the morning, and let you come up with an idea for the emperor's lack of money!" ”
Finally getting down to business, Tang Ming hurriedly bowed down and replied: "That's exactly what the matter is, but what the emperor lacks now is a lot of money, and it is still possible for the disciple to come up with some ideas to get some small money." If you want to truly solve the emperor's urgent needs, it is not an overnight effort. But the queen mother is bent on asking her disciple to provoke this matter, and the disciple is also very confused? ”
"It is a great honor for the queen to come to you in person to do something, will there be a shortage of talents among the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty? So many people don't choose you, what is there to be dissatisfied. To be an official is to be mentally prepared to be an official, and there is no gain from it! Yao Guangxiao said dissatisfiedly.
"The disciple would rather not have this kind of glory, this kind of thing will lose his head if he is not careful, and there are capable people in the court to let them toss, so why bother to embarrass my child?" As soon as he mentioned this, Tang Ming's fire burst upward.
It's not that he went to ask the queen to find something to do, but now the queen has something to do with him, but it's good, being forced to do something, how can it become glory.
