Chapter 264: Seeing and Hearing in the Court

The three-day marriage leave passed in a flash, and Changsun Chong was called up by Liu Muxiang early in the morning, because Changsun Chong wanted to follow Changsun Wuji to the court together, and he couldn't let the master wait.

Liu Muxiang waited for the eldest grandson to wear his clothes and said, "Knowing that you didn't have anything to eat before you went to court, I prepared a plate of snacks for you, drank a cup of hot water, and then went." ”

Changsun Chong knew that the length of time in the court was uncertain, so it was better to eat something to cushion his stomach first, and said: "There is a small kitchen in the courtyard, and I will eat noodles in the future, and drink soup and water to keep warm." "Going to court on an empty stomach, that's a crime, and Changsun Chong doesn't feel comfortable at all.

With something in his stomach, the eldest grandson Chong had the spirit and got into his father's carriage, without riding a horse, otherwise he would panic from the cold.

"Dad, do I have to go to the court every day in the future?" The eldest grandson Chong yawned, leaving sleepy tears in the corners of his eyes, he was busy working in the middle of the night, and he hadn't slept for an hour, and then he got up again, it was not a human thing, so he had to wait until he finished breakfast.

"Hmph, you are now considered a family, why do you still want to be open-mouthed before, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty even got up early to save your majesty, and you talk a lot." The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at the eldest grandson Chong, and said that although this son is very capable, he just has a problem of not getting up early. It's like this at home, and it's the same when running errands outside. When I was diligent, that is, I fought with the Turks last year, and as soon as the drums of war sounded, I was worried all day long and got up early.

"Hey, it's so inhumane, they're all hungry!" The eldest grandson sighed for a long time.

"Hmph, you're still hungry, and the stubs of the snacks on the corners of your mouth haven't been wiped clean yet!" The eldest grandson Wuji patted his son on the head, it stands to reason that the greater his son's achievements, the happier he should be, but a son is still the same as before, so he doesn't feel angry and wants to scold.

Eldest Sun Chong hurriedly wiped his mouth. Hey, I'm really a little scumbag, and I said, "There is pork rib noodle soup tomorrow morning, do you want your father to come some?" ”

Don't say it, listening to the eldest grandson Chong, the eldest grandson Wuji was really a little hungry, nodded and said, "I have a heart!" ”

Hearing this, he agreed, and the eldest grandson wrote it down, thinking that he hadn't been to the court for so long. Then he asked, "Dad, what have you been talking about in the court recently?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji closed his eyes, leaned on the carriage, and said slowly: "Yesterday, it was approved to list the Wa Kingdom as an enemy country, and send a letter of state in front of all the vassal states. ”

"No one objected?" Eldest Sun Chong asked.

"Who would dare to object? One of the imperial historians said a few more words. was treated as a spy by His Majesty and investigated in isolation! The eldest grandson Wuji said with a smile. Your Majesty's arrogant tendon was picked by the Japanese people. I have long hated the Japanese people to the bones. If the layout is done now, absolutely half a sentence of nonsense will be called.

"Hehe, if you don't have long eyes, you can say this, and if you don't see Your Majesty, you almost didn't carry a knife to the Japanese country to cut people. After learning the news of the slaughter of the village that day. Your Majesty didn't close your eyes for a day and a night, and next to the map, there was a big red cross on the location of the Wa Kingdom, which shows how deep the hatred is...... "Changsun Chong said with emotion, "Anyway, attacking the Wa Kingdom is not a matter of time and a half, so we don't need to worry, Your Majesty knows it in your heart!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said: "You're right, as long as he doesn't have long eyes, although Yushi can express his opinion on anything, he can't give sympathy to those who harm his compatriots." ”

"This is not an internal contradiction, but an external contradiction, and for this matter, it should be unanimous externally." The eldest grandson Chong echoed, "Just this matter? What else? ”

"Also, if you build a school in the north, other places will follow suit, but in this way, you will spend an extra 500,000 yuan a year, and you know how the treasury is, so there are many people who oppose it." Eldest Sun Wuji replied calmly, this matter was not brought up by him anyway, and there is no need to bother so far.

The eldest grandson Chong was surprised when he heard this, and said, "Dad, then I am not going to be cannon fodder in the court today?" ”

"To be cannon fodder is also to have capital, and others can't do it if they want to. The north has been a heavy place for conscription since the beginning of the previous dynasty, and the men were killed and wounded countless times, and the population withered. But some people can't see it, and they can't see the good of the north. The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth, this matter, both public and private, has a relationship with him in the car, and has to be managed.

The eldest grandson smiled: "In other places, it also costs a lot of money to pay for a year's official school, although it also accepts the shackles of the students, but the treasury still has to allocate half of it." Although the school in Dingzhou is free, we don't have a penny from the national treasury! ”

"Yes, but some people can't see the free admission to the schools in the north, and think that they should be charged, and the court learned that the people of Dingzhou have a harvest of more than 100 taels of silver at home this year, so they began to blush, thinking about how to get that money!" The eldest grandson Wuji said coldly, they are all things that don't have long eyes.

"What do you think of these people, the school over there doesn't restrain it, but it doesn't ask the treasury for money. We have been busy in the north for a year, the three elder brothers of the Cheng family and the second brother of the Duan family, the eldest brother of the Qin family, and Fang Yiai have not come back yet, wandering in various mountains, continuing to Zhao'an and appeasing the people. Wei Shuyu, Xiao Rui, Du He and others are still there to teach and educate people conscientiously in front of the master who doesn't want money, but some people just can't see it, and they can see the money in the hands of the people. The eldest grandson was furious.

"Hmph, you don't know yet, do you? The cotton cloth and quilt were transported to Chang'an and were sold out, a quilt now costs twenty taels of silver, an ordinary face can be sold for ten taels, and the printed one is fifteen taels, which is more expensive than silk. The eldest grandson Wuji shook his head, he didn't believe that the things his son made were selling so well.

The eldest grandson Chong was surprised that he could hold an egg in his mouth, and said: "Dad, this price is too high, so many times higher than the purchase price, you must know where those cotton cloths are beautiful in silk!" ”

"Have you forgotten that in this Kyoto, those meritorious officials and some big families don't ask for the best, but for the most expensive, as long as it is rare, whoever has it first, it is all face." The eldest grandson Wuji explained that those who have money can just buy it, and the key ones who don't have money will also buy it, and they will be swollen and fat.

"Hehe, it is estimated that the price will drop next year, this cotton cloth, the potential customers of these cotton cloths before were ordinary people, but I didn't expect those dignitaries to follow in the fun." The eldest grandson was puzzled.

"It's hot this year, and next year prices will return to normal. But the quilt, the padded jacket is really good, don't put the soup woman when you sleep at night. This padded jacket is worn, as if it blocks the cold, and it is very warm. "The eldest grandson Wuji touched the newly made padded jacket on his body, although it was stupid, but it was much better than the cloak that looked glamorous but put on a frozen butt.

"Almost, maybe next year will be a little better."

"By the way, Chong'er, be careful, I heard that some people want to get involved in the cotton business, I think you better be careful." The eldest grandson Wuji reminded.

"I don't care what it is, anyway, in a few years, cotton will be everywhere, and I won't be able to do it alone. If someone is willing to contribute money and effort, I will naturally be happy for them to get involved, and then I will have to make them vomit some blood. Changsun Chong said indifferently.

"Aren't you afraid that they will rob you of your credit?" The eldest grandson Wuji asked rhetorically.

The eldest grandson shook his head and said: "The credit is spelled out, not robbed, this time the first credit belongs to the crown prince, King Wu, and then it will be my turn, if you want to rob me of my credit, you also have to weigh your own catties." ”

"But with me, they can't grab it, besides, you were hand-picked by Your Majesty, and Your Majesty's heart is like a mirror. Do things well, everyone understands in their hearts. The eldest grandson Wuji was worried that his son was aggrieved, and comforted him.

"Dad, I know." The eldest grandson replied.

Unconsciously arrived at the palace gate, the eldest grandson Chong helped the eldest grandson Wuji to get out of the car, and saw other adults getting off the carriage one after another, and saw the eldest grandson Chong congratulating one after another.

When he arrived at the court, the position of the eldest grandson Chong was relatively backward, and there was just a pillar, so he felt that he had nothing to do, so he leaned on the pillar and took a nap, Li Yexu came over quietly and said: "Brother eldest grandson, congratulations!" "It will take him two years to get married, waiting for his eldest grandson, Yiniang and Lu.

"Rejoice and rejoice!" The eldest grandson Chong said that it was smooth and blurted out.

"Hehe, eldest grandson, don't you know that the court is lively these days, it's more exciting than watching a play!" Li Yexu smiled very unscrupulously, a bunch of old and rotten, under the guise of benevolence, righteousness and morality, with a bad stomach behind his back.

"Hey, you're happy watching the drama these days?" The eldest grandson asked with a smile.

"Oh, it's not! You'll find out later. Li Yexu whispered, looking at the front with his eyes dripping, "By the way, thank you for giving me the massager, my grandfather used it, and the old injuries on his body were actually relieved, which is really very good, let me thank you." ”

"It's all my own brothers, it's nothing!" Changsun Chong said indifferently.

"Shhhh Li Yexu reminded that the two of them stood up honestly, and the face project had to be done well.

Li Er was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sat on the top, the courtiers stood on both sides, and the eldest Sun Chong and Li Yexu belonged to the military attachΓ©s, with a very low grade, standing at the rear.

Li Er saw at a glance that the eldest grandson Chong and Li Yexu were talking to each other, and after glancing at them, he was shocked and had a rough idea.

"If there is something in the Qing family, start as soon as possible!" Li Er urged, he had been busy for most of the night in the past two days, and he was very tired, so he wanted to finish the state affairs as soon as possible and go back to rest for a while.

Honglu Siqing stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Dai Zhicheng, who is going to the Wa Kingdom, is ready to leave tomorrow. ”

Li Er nodded when he heard this and said: "This time the Japanese country is listed as an enemy country, this trip will definitely be dangerous, you must take care and come back safely." ”

"Thank Your Majesty for your compassion, and you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's trust." Honglu Temple Qing said respectfully.

"Before sending the credentials, you can find out some of the situation in the Wa Kingdom." Li Er added that these people have died in the past.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Er felt uneasy and said, "In the afternoon, you asked Dai Zhicheng to meet me in person, I still have something to talk to him about." (To be continued......)
