129, the beginning of the edge (2)
"Let the concubine guess," Feng Miao used the tip of the embroidered shoe to pluck the small bell hanging down from the corner of the rosewood case on the table, making a crisp sound, "The concubine remembers that when I was a child, my father liked to raise that kind of fierce falcons and hunting dogs, in order to hone their wildness, they were not fed, and they were only allowed to hunt a lot in the hunting ground, so they naturally ate enough, but if they couldn't catch anything, they could only go hungry." ”
Tuoba Hong listened to her funny, hooked a strand of her hair hanging down, and tilted his head sideways to listen.
"This was originally a very good method, so the eagles and dogs of the Changli Palace, which were once the best in Pingcheng. But after a long time, my father found that the hounds did not want to cooperate with each other, and from time to time they bit each other in order to compete for their prey. Several times I went out on a safari, and the hunting dog was injured, and my father was very troubled by this. Feng Miao also smiled and tilted her head and looked at him, "The things that the emperor is worried about now are similar to the things that the concubine's father worried about back then." ”
Tuoba Hong laughed, put his hand at her forehead and said, "Naughty, dare to compare these noble clansmen to eagles and dogs, if they are heard by the officials, there will be a thick stack of tables in front of me tomorrow." ”
Feng Miao lowered her head slightly, smiled and said, "It's a big deal, the concubine will accompany the emperor to read at night." ”
Tuoba Hong pointed to the two stacks of recitals in front of him and said, "I have been watching this whole day today, and this is all about this matter, and several of my uncles have quarreled so much over the division of the land and the slaves who have been captured, and they have all brought a complaint to me and asked me to adjudicate it. "The Tuoba clan has never paid a fortune, even for those with official positions, and the huge expenses of the royal palace and personal guards have to be provided by plundering everywhere in the war. When opening up the territory and expanding the territory, this method was naturally good, but now it is soft and surrendering, and the Southern Dynasty is too busy to take care of itself, and there are not so many battles to fight.
"During the reign of my father, I also tried to prohibit private looting, and the treasury distributed the money instead," Tuoba Hong continued, "but the treasury of the Great Wei did not have much input, and the gold and silver cloth were all turned into additional rewards in the end, and those who should be robbed were still robbed separately, and it was useless." ”
Feng Miao jumped from his lap and asked, "Has the emperor ever heard the story of the morning and evening?" ”
Tuoba Hong nodded and smiled: "A paragraph in Zhuangzi's Theory of Things." He was deeply influenced by the Empress Dowager and was familiar with these classics since he was a child, but unfortunately most of the concubines from Xianbei backgrounds did not understand these, and the women from famous Han families cowered in front of him and did not dare to talk about these topics, which made people feel bored.
"The monkey keeper asked the monkey, "How about eating three acorns in the morning and four in the evening?" The monkeys all felt that it was too little. But if you ask what about four in the morning and three in the evening, the monkeys are satisfied and stop making noise. Feng Miao walked around in front of him as he spoke, learning the appearance of a monkey scratching his ears and cheeks and thinking he was smart, which was also vivid and vivid, as in front of him, "So, if the emperor wants to change the habits that these people have formed over the years, he must first give four acorns in the morning to make them think that they have benefited, and then give three in the evening, so that they have to accept it." ”
Tuoba Hong nodded approvingly, he already had a general idea in his heart, but he still wanted to hear what Feng Miao had to say, and deliberately asked, "So, what are four acorns, and what are three acorns?" ”
As soon as Feng Miaogang spoke, she closed her lips again, and moved a few steps forward with her hands behind her back, "Your Majesty, this is a concubine, obviously he has already thought about it, and he has to ask deliberately." ”
Tuoba Hong stood up, wrapped around her waist from behind, relaxed and straightened his body, his chin just enough to rest on her shoulder socket, his lips facing her ear, "I want to hear you, only when I say this, I can really feel that you are also planning for me." ”
Feng Miao's heart jumped, the corners of her eyes were dyed with a peach-like flush, and she lowered her head and said, "The emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the concubine naturally has to plan for the emperor's own husband." ”
"Miao'er, I hope you mean the truth......" The dense kiss fell on her small ear and delicate neck.
Feng Miao weakly refused: "Does the emperor still want to listen?" ”
Tuoba Hong paused slightly, and said jokingly, "Let's talk about it first, and I'll see if I should be rewarded or punished." ”
Feng Miao tilted his head sideways and thought for a while, and stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around his neck, "Habits are the most difficult to change, the emperor might as well start small, promise some benefits to the noble clan relatives, and encourage them to build luxurious mansions and raise concubines and slaves." Let the aristocracy's preferences gradually shift from safari to poetry, silk and bamboo music and dance. After a long time, they got used to such comfort, and they would no longer be willing to go back to the days of robbing. ”
Tuoba Hong picked her up by the waist and slowly spun around in mid-air, "Miao'er, these thoughts of yours are completely consistent with mine." Not only that, but I also want to build Buddhist temples, so that my uncles and uncles can listen to Sanskrit music more and have less murderous anger. I then gave them money from the treasury and slowly changed their habits. ”
Feng Miao smiled and nodded, "Listening to Yu Xing, the weaving and dyeing workshop is doing very well now, and it won't be long before the number of embroiderers can be doubled." These official-made silk satins will definitely be sold for a good price when they are taken outside. In addition to collecting rents from peasant households and receiving tribute, the income of the weaving and dyeing mills was also the income of the state treasury. ”
He stopped, his eyes staring at Feng Miao affectionately, "Miao'er, thank you, I know the hard work you put into the weaving and dyeing workshop." He spoke with great sincerity, as if he were holding the most precious treasure in the world.
Feng Miao's cheeks were crimson, almost melting slowly in his arms. Tuoba Hong placed her across the rosewood case, his fingers wandering along the delicate curves of the garment, untying the belt all the way. In the hot summer, Feng Miao was only wearing a light soft gauze shirt, and as soon as the belt was loosened, the shirt fell off.
The hard and slightly cool touch of rosewood made her wake up for a moment, but where her fingers walked, the heat was like a flame, swallowing up the coolness in her brain little by little. "White ...... ...... during the day, "Feng Miao hastily blocked his body with his arms, but to no avail.
Tuoba Hong slowly pressed up, took a sheep's hair pen casually, dipped it in the water in the ivory carving pen, and sketched on her. The coolness of the water fell on the hot skin, but it was like a pebble thrown into a lake, stirring up a bigger wave.
The brushstrokes went from under her earlobes to her flat lower abdomen, passing through all the soft spots on her body. Feng Miao closed her eyes as if evading, but the itchy and cool touch became clearer and clearer, causing a strange fire to rise in her body. Her fingers involuntarily pinched Takuba's tight arm, and a soft tone overflowed from her throat.
Tuoba Hong lowered his head and kissed the water stain little by little along the wet handwriting. The soft brocade robe covered the bodies of the two people, and the documents, pen and ink on the bookcase all fell to the ground with a "bang", and the red sandalwood shook lightly, making a slight squeaking sound.
The young body still felt pain, but under the deliberate and gentle soothing of Tuoba Hong, it gradually relaxed and was no longer so nervous. A fine layer of sweat appeared on Feng Miao's forehead, and all the sideburns were stained together. In the midst of the indulgence of going straight to the clouds, Tuoba Hong gasped and hugged her tightly, whispering in her ear, "I have done a business for you." ”
Feng Miao lay on Tuoba Hong's sweaty chest, the flush on his face receded slightly, and a huge sense of loss suddenly surged in his heart. In a little while, he's going to get the decoction of the dodge......
Tuoba Hong ran his fingers through her black brocade-like hair, and said softly, "Are you tired?" I sweated so much, and I was going to catch a cold when the wind blew. ”
Feng Miao shook her head slightly, the more she thought about it, the greater her disappointment, she had understood this truth since she was a child, and knew that she should not covet this moment of affection.
Tuoba Hong helped her put on her shirt and gently tied her belt, "Rest here?" Or do you want someone to send you back? Seeing that she didn't speak, he carried her directly into the inner sanctum" Sleep here for a while, I will call the secretary of the inner department to come in and announce the decree, and when you wake up later, you will have dinner with me." ”
The smell of ambergris lingers in the inner sanctum. Feng Miao shrank in the shark yarn tent, raised her eyes and watched Tuoba Hong cover the quilt for her, waiting for him to bring the "sweet soup" and coax herself to drink it. But Tuoba Hong hung down the bed tent and left the inner hall, and soon after, he heard Liu Quantong's voice, "Master Li has arrived." ”
Through the thin curtain, the voice of Tuoba Hong could be faintly heard, and he told Li Chong the same will to be issued, and asked him to draft it and follow it. Some things, if Li Chong feels inappropriate, he will also say his thoughts, and when it is intense, the two will even quarrel loudly, and no one can convince anyone. In the end, there was no result in the quarrel, and Tuoba Hong was not angry, only saying that this matter would be considered again.
After discussing political affairs, Tuoba Hong told Li Chong about the idea of promoting Yulu among the Xianbei nobles.
Li Chong pondered carefully for a moment and said, "If you want to change the habits of the clan relatives and nobles, you have to take it step by step, and you can't be in a hurry. Moreover, the emperor must be fully prepared, and must have a complete set of civil and military official ranks, and give them benefits first, so that they are willing to receive money from the imperial court and prohibit random plunder. After the distribution of Yulu is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, he has to choose a person who is important to the emperor on weekdays, so that he will be severely punished for not obeying the emperor's orders and still looting property at will, so that the nobles and clansmen can clearly see the emperor's determination. ”
"This matter ......," Li Chong said in a deep groan, "and it will take two years at the earliest." ”
Tuoba Hong stood up from his seat and waved at Li Chong, "Thank you, Lord Li, for teaching me." "If it was someone else, he would have been sincerely afraid at this time, but Li Chong just knelt down and returned the salute, without a title, but he had the demeanor of an emperor.
After Li Chong left, Tuoba Hong returned to the inner sanctum and sat on the edge of the bed. Feng Miao closed his eyes, couldn't hear him speak for a long time, couldn't bear to open his eyes to see, but met his eyes, and stayed three inches in front of him with a smile, staring straight at himself.
"Did anyone tell you you you couldn't pretend to be asleep?" Tuoba Hong scratched the tip of her nose, "Because when you pretend to be asleep, your eyelashes will tremble like butterfly wings." ”
Feng Miao's face was hot when he said it, so she simply sat up and looked at him with her knees crossed.
"Miao'er, I have something I want you to do," Tuoba Hong hugged her shoulders and let her head rest on his chest, every word with precious and rare tenderness, "I don't know if you are willing or not." ”
