Chapter 468: Entering the Palace
"The peasants' taxes have been reduced, the penalties have been increased, and the civil and military officials have been revised, so I don't know what else the national teacher has to point out?" Cao Ying talked about her reforms, with a proud smile on her face, Han Han pouted and smiled, and slowly shook her head, "I don't understand such a thing as governing the world, but it's okay to do a little bit." β
"Just a little? The national teacher is really joking! Cao Ying was not convinced, and immediately retorted, Han Han stared at Cao Ying, and said slowly, "Those who win the hearts of the people win the world, what is the world, tens of millions of people are the world, if it is a holy monarch, it will naturally win the hearts of the people, and with the hearts of the people, then the world can be reached!" It is good for the prime minister to reduce taxes, but the revised law, in my opinion, is of little use. β
"If it is a holy monarch, he will naturally win the hearts of the people, and if he has the hearts of the people, then the world can be reached?" Forgetting to sleep and eating, and the hundreds of laws that were revised all night long became useless when they reached Han Han's mouth? Cao Ying's whole face was whitened with anger, she clenched her wine glass, and snorted coldly, "Don't you think the punishment of the law is too light!" The thief can be released after only a week in prison, and the murderer and plunder can even survive, and there are obviously too many problems with this law. β
"I don't know how to govern the world, and neither do you." Han Han shook his head, this slow and indifferent tone made Cao Ying almost angry, "What do you mean, you mean that everything I have done in the past few months is wrong?" β
"It's not a mistake, it's just a futile, these two words, but they mean two things." Han Han replied with a smile, while Cao Ying's face was gloomy and gray, and she said coldly, "Then please ask the national teacher for guidance!" β
"Alas, young man, I just can't hold my breath!" Looking at this little white face of his age, Han Han sighed and said, "Let me ask you, if I throw ten taels of silver on the street, what punishment will I receive?" β
"Seven days in prison, twenty boards a day!" Cao Ying snorted coldly, as if he was the executor at this moment, slapping Han Han's ass.
"I can only say that you underestimate people's courage in order to survive, for food, for money, to be beaten or something." Han Han shook his head slowly, looking very disappointed, "Ten taels of silver can make an ordinary farmer live for several months, and it is worth it to eat and drink well for a few months after paying seven days of ass, I think, this will not reduce the number of thieves." β
"Of course I understand that if you steal many times, and steal fifty taels of silver, you will be punished with an increased punishment, one month in prison, fifty boards a day, I don't believe that anyone dares to provoke!" stared at Han Han with a cold face, Cao Ying was waiting for Han Han's criticism to the end, but Han Han didn't give him this opportunity, shook his head, and sighed again.
"You kid is stupid and naΓ―ve." "What?" I couldn't stand Han Han's way of talking from above, and finally couldn't help it, Cao Ying slapped it on the table, "If you have something to say, don't be so nagging around the bush!" β
"You said that the punishment for those who commit the crime of stealing many times will be increased, so if I steal ten taels of silver in Zhejiang today and ten taels of silver in Hunan seven days later, who will know me! stole the entire Central Plains, and what he received was only a seven-day punishment. Han Han didn't care about Cao Ying's shouting, calmly lowered his head and drank a glass of wine, and raised his eyebrows at the same time, "What do you say?" β
Come to think of it, it is. Cao Ying was stunned for a moment, only to realize at this time that she had underestimated Han Han and had no brains, how could she stay by the Queen Mother's side for so long, "Then you say, how should this law be modified?" β
"I don't know!" Shrugging disapprovingly, Han Han squinted his eyes and smiled, "I'm going to sleep, let's eat, let's leave." Seeing Han Han get up and lead Liu Yun and his group to leave, Cao Ying was the only one left in the whole room.
The figure of Li Kui, who was walking at the back, disappeared at the door, and Ji Gang bent down and walked in with a smile on his face, "Prime Minister, you had a good time eating with the national teacher, right?" Yes! β
"Happy fart!" Cao Ying stood up, pushed the leftovers of the entire table to the ground, watched the dish "ping pong" fall to the ground a few times, Cao Ying had a cold face, stepped on the broken ceramics, and ran out of the room angrily.
What's going on! Standing in place in confusion, Ji Gang looked at the carefully prepared but seemingly ruined wine and food, when the national teacher left, his face was full of spring breeze, why was the prime minister's face so different!
Back in the inn, Han Han thought about today's events, it was ridiculous, sighed, and wanted to pull a few women into the house, but Liu Yun, Yang Yuhuan and Mei Niang all turned around and ran to other rooms to sleep, only Tong Xiangyu with a coquettish smile was left outside the door of the room and the same with beautiful big eyes, Han Han glanced at Tong Xiangyu, said 'go to bed early', and then pulled Tong Piaoyun into the house.
Han Han suddenly realized that he hadn't been quiet for a long time to tell stories or chat with Tong Piaoyun, one big and one small were lying on the bed, Tong Piaoyun's petite body was lying in Han Han's arms, giggling, "Brother Han Han's body smells so fragrant." β
"Well, what?" Han Han lowered his head and sniffed at his chest, indeed, an inexplicable fragrance emanated from his body, Han Han frowned strangely, where did this flower-like gas come from.
"Do I have all the day today?" "I don't know!" Hearing Han Han's question, Tong Piaoyun's beautiful big eyes flashed with a smile, "It should have been there at dinner." β
"Well, no matter him, my brother will tell you a story." "Brother Han Han doesn't practice anymore?" Tong Piaoyun quietly watched Han Han hug himself tightly with a pampered face, revealing a cute smile, and half-squinted his eyes and said, "Did you give up for me?" β
Han Han was in a very bad mood, so he didn't want to practice, but now that Tong Piaoyun said this, he naturally wanted to flatter this cute little girl, nodding with a smile, Han Han stretched out his hand and pinched Tong Piaoyun's elastic little face, "Yes, yes, with such a cute little girl as you, how can I practice by myself, and secretly tell you the story of "Journey to the West", okay!" β
"Yes, yes!" Tong Piaoyun giggled, rolled in Han Han's arms, and faced Han Han's strong chest, there was a warmth that had never been felt before, refreshing.
"Hehe, brother, don't be angry, it was the two of you who came to this courtyard after me, anyway, it's not my fault for the first to come." In the dark shadow in the corner, Tong Xiangyu still appeared in a bright red dress, Han Han snorted, and wiped his lips vigorously, wanting to wipe away the feeling that Cao Ying's little white face was imprinted on his lips.
"Here, give." Tong Xiangyu stood in front of Han Han with a smile, stretched out his hand and handed over a red handkerchief, Han Han took it, rubbed his lips unceremoniously, and then said hesitantly, "What happened just now was that Cao Ying's madness, and it had nothing to do with me personally......
"I know, I won't tell anyone about my brother's embarrassment!" Tong Xiangyu's slender eyebrows looked Han Han up and down, as if he was looking at a ...... Longyang is like a good man.
Glaring at Tong Xiangyu, Han Han sent the handkerchief back, calmed down the emotions in his heart, and then asked, "The night is long, I have no intention of sleeping, I thought I was the only one who couldn't sleep, but I didn't expect that Sister Xiangyu, you can't sleep either." β
"This is a person who is alone in the field, and I used to be a person from the dart game, so it is inevitable that I am not used to it and cannot sleep." Explained a few words with a simple smile, but Han Han suddenly realized that this woman was insecure?
Zi once said that insecure women are angels who need to be well cared for. Ahem, no matter who said it, anyway, Han Han felt a little surprised that a woman like Tong Xiangyu didn't feel safe, and wanted to ask something, but Tong Xiangyu took the lead.
Today's Tong Xiangyu is becoming more and more direct, and he is not as pretentious as he was at the beginning, and asked without concealing his motives, "Brother, you see that my sister has to keep you a secret on such a cold night at night, do you want to give something to warm my sister's body." β
Want to exchange something? Han Han smiled, and then nodded blankly, "Okay, add a quilt to your sister at night!" β
Tong Xiangyu's face remained unchanged, she smiled charmingly, and immediately leaned over and leaned softly on Han Han's body, "I heard that practicing martial arts can enhance your physique." "That's right!" Han Han pretended to be stupid, "So my sister has a body of martial arts, so she doesn't look weak from the outside." β
Tong Xiangyu gritted his teeth in anger, but on his face, he still had a touching look, blinking slightly, and his fragrant body leaned on Han Han, "My brother has promised that you will teach me this martial arts." β
It's really straight to the point! Han Han was helpless, tilted his head and said with a smile, "Sister, it's not that I don't want to teach, but I said it, this internal strength requires a double cultivation method, I don't know if you agree!" β
The double cultivation method of bullshit! In the darkness of Tong Xiangyu, a pair of eyes showed dissatisfaction, Han Han seemed to be aware of it, looked at Tong Xiangyu's dark eyes, and said, "Aren't you going to go to Peach Blossom Island, if you can enter Peach Blossom Island and meet the island owner with a strange personality, when the time comes, the martial arts cheats hidden in Peach Blossom Island will not be left to you to choose from time to time, sister?" β
Hearing Han Han's words, Tong Xiangyu's mood calmed down a bit, but it was inevitable to scold Han Han for being stingy in his heart, "In that case, my sister went to sleep." β
"Okay, sister, have a good rest." Seeing Tong Xiangyu leave with a smile, Han Han was stunned in the backyard for a while, and then returned to the room, Tong Piaoyun, the little girl, occupied the whole bed and fell asleep, Han Han smiled and gently stroked the hair on her sideburns, and then slowly sat next to her, sitting cross-legged, letting the yin qi in her body flow slowly in the meridians of her body.
People with a pure state of mind, meditating cross-legged, and not falling for a few days and nights, although Han Han can't sit for a few days and nights like some masters, but he still plays refreshed after sitting for a night.
The yin qi in Han Han's body slowly calmed down, and when he opened his eyes slowly, he saw Tong Piaoyun shrinking in the quilt, only revealing a pair of big eyes, staring directly at Han Han, seeing that Han Han's practice was over, Tong Piaoyun lifted the quilt and pounced on Han Han's thigh with his bare feet, "Say it's okay not to practice!" Deceitful! Big liar! β
Han Han couldn't cry or laugh, reached out and hugged Tong Piaoyun in his arms, pinched her round face, and said, "Little girl, you take up the whole bed by yourself, I have no place to sleep, it's already good if I haven't left this room to find your sisters." β
Tong Piaoyun snorted lightly, leaning his little head on Han Han's arms and not speaking, but he was secretly angry in his heart, why did he say that he occupied the entire bed? You must have gone out in the middle of the night and then took advantage of the time to occupy it, right? Who are you going to see?
Not knowing the persistent thoughts in the little girl's mind, Han Han led Tong Piaoyun to the next room, and the innkeeper sent someone to add a large wooden bed, so these women would not be crowded when they slept alone in this room. Liu Yun, a woman with a good wife and mother, had already gotten up and held Mei Niang's little hand to chat, while Yang Yuhuan and Tong Xiangyu each lay on the same bed and continued to fall asleep.
Yang Yuhuan used to be a concubine in the palace, and she had to have an image when she ate and slept, and the sleeping posture of curling her knees to the right side was better, but looking at Tong Xiangyu next to her, it was not so beautiful, but it also had a different flavor.
"You eat first, I'll go to the beach to see if the old boatman's next boat will be in seven days." Han Han touched the same face, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Tong Piaoyun's little hand, "Brother Han Han, I'm going too, I'm going to eat hot donkey meat!" β
"Okay, okay." Nodding with a smile, Han Han took Tong Piaoyun by hand, one big and one small, and immediately walked out of the inn.
There are two streets to the seaside, not long or short, but because of Tong Piaoyun, the road is a little farther, because this little girl walks and stops in front of the stall on the street, and looks at this and plays with that for a while, not only to two donkey meat fire, but also to eat a meat bun and a vegetarian bun, this little girl, where does the appetite come from, this is no different from a big girl's food.
Pulling the little girl, a moment later, Han Han finally came to the beach, today is different from the past, there are a few people, there are only a dozen people in the rivers and lakes wandering around the seaside, that is a very large boat, is parked on the seaside water, the old boatman with gray hair and beard is sitting on the bow of the boat, smoking an old pipe.
The old boatman's vicissitudes of life but not cloudy eyes glanced over, and after looking straight at Han Han a few times, he showed a kind smile, "It turned out to be you kid, I drove the boat yesterday, and I wondered why I was scared away without you." β
Holding the same little hand, Han Han stepped forward, smiled, and asked, "Old man, is the next time the boat will sail in seven days?" β
