Chapter 589: The Knife Cuts Itself Only to Know That It Hurts!
Donate money! Money must be donated immediately.
If you don't donate money, your children and grandchildren will go to the battlefield and feed the barbarians with knives!
Others don't know, their own children and grandchildren, their own families know best.
If they eat, drink, and have fun, make crooked poems, wrap up a prostitute, and be jealous, they are all good hands.
But if you go to the battlefield, these wastes will only be the share of farts and pee, crying dad and mother.
So, on the morning of the second day, everyone had no intention of political affairs, and almost rushed out of the queue to donate silver taels to fill the treasury and support the Northern Expeditionary Army.
It's a pity that the emperor just looked at them lightly and said very politely.
"Your Aiqing's family is not rich, so you can't lose your money for Tianwu. Moreover, you Aiqing also said before that the autumn harvest will be soon, the grain tax will be paid, and the treasury will have silver. ”
The ministers couldn't open their mouths bitterly, they really shot themselves in the foot.
It turned out that these words were all said by them to add blockage to the emperor, and now the emperor easily returned the "bitter fruit" to them.
Some people really couldn't bear it, so they knelt down and wept bitterly, pleading: "Your Majesty, please be merciful and allow the minister to donate silver taels and exempt the minister's little grandson from military service."
"The minister is more than half a hundred years old, and he has only such a grandson, if he has a good one, the minister's incense will be broken, and under the nine springs, he can't explain to the ancestors and ancestors!"
The rest of the people did the same, and fell to their knees and wept bitterly together.
"Please ask the emperor to be gracious!"
"Your Majesty, my child has never held a knife at all, how can he beat the barbarian iron horse......"
"Your Majesty, we are willing to donate money and food to tide over the difficulties together."
The emperor let them cry and never nodded.
Everyone couldn't, so they could only turn to the new pavilion marquis with a cold face.
An old minister said: "Master Hou, the children in my family don't know martial arts at all, and they have no power to restrain the chicken, even if they join the army, they will cause chaos to the Hou Ye, and please ask the Hou Ye to persuade the emperor for me." ”
Hou Ye looked at him carefully a few times, and only then did Xu Shi remember his identity, so he frowned and said coldly, "Lord Tobu Lang Zhongguan? If Ben Hou remembers well, the thirty-year-old child in your family robbed a peasant girl as a concubine last month.
"The old father of the peasant girl who kicked it vomited blood, and now he is still taking medicine to continue his life. How can such combat power be said to be powerless? If it is sent to the battlefield, against the barbarians, at least one can be worth ten.
"With such bravery, it's better to kill the enemy for the country than to show off to the people, you say, isn't it?"
"This ......" Lord Guan was speechless, worried that his son would be angry with the Marquis of Xinting for revealing his shortcomings, so he looked at him and pretended to faint......
The Marquis of Xinting did not embarrass him anymore, but looked at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, and said: "Before, when the Northern Expeditionary Army fought for the country and came back with a stump, you said that the treasury was empty and there was no pension.
"Now that Ben Hou has taken out the income of his family's property, leveled the pension, and found a place for the disabled soldiers, you don't have to bother!
"But Tianwu is not only the Tianwu of the people, but also the Tianwu of everyone, the only son of the people can shed blood and sacrifice in order to defend their home and country, there is no reason, your children and grandchildren will not succeed! Now it's time for you to do your best for Tianwu, don't let the people laugh!
"After all, you have read the books of sages all your life and enjoyed the offerings of the people all your life, but in the end you are greedy for life and afraid of death, then you are not as good as mud legs and untouchables in your eyes!"
The voice landed, and above the court, there was no sound, and no one dared to speak.
Everyone was sad and regretful in their hearts, but more than that, they understood one thing.
Previously, the seizure and delay in the payment of pensions completely annoyed the new Tinghou, and his silence was not afraid that they would be powerful, but that he was accumulating strength.
Conscription is his revenge on everyone!
Since some people do not understand the hardships and sacrifices of the Northern Expeditionary Army, they will try it on the battlefield in person......
The emperor sat on the dragon chair and saw the pain of all the courtiers in his eyes.
At this moment, I can't wait to look up to the sky and shout out happily!
Sure enough, the knife didn't hurt until it hit me.
"Retreat!" Manager Yi received the emperor's eyes, shouted loudly, and then waited for the emperor to go to the apse.
He saw that the emperor's face was really good, so he whispered, "Your Majesty, what the Hou Ye said is so good, the old slave feels relieved when he listens to it!" ”
The emperor really looked even more proud, "The excerpts that sing praises on weekdays can write a basket, and they pretend to be deaf and dumb when they need to be serious, and now that the matter is coming, see where they can hide!" ”
Manager Yi thought about it, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, there are several families that really have only one son-in-law, do you really want to send them to the Northern Expeditionary Army......
"I won't let their bloodlines be cut off, but I have to wait, when these old foxes are really tamed, and they are willing to cut off their own flesh in exchange for their hearts and livers......" When the emperor said this, he suddenly remembered and asked: "Over there in Kunning Palace, can someone from the Jiangning Marquis Mansion come to see you?" ”
"Yes," Manager Yi hurriedly responded, "The queen's mother asked to see her, and I heard that the old marquis fell ill because he felt sorry for his grandson......
"Humph!" The emperor snorted coldly and asked, "The queen has summoned you?" ”
Mr. Yi's mind turned around a few times, and replied: "Niangniang's phoenix body has been a little uncomfortable these days, and she has summoned half of the imperial doctors from the Tai Hospital to see it, and now she is drinking tonic, so she has no energy, so she hasn't seen Mrs. Shizi......"
The emperor glared at Mr. Yi and scolded with a smile: "Slippery head!" Whatever you say to your mouth, you have to apply grease and powder, and only after you dress up nicely will you be willing to say it. ”
Mr. Yi smiled dryly and said flatteringly: "The old slave has a stupid mouth, and he is afraid that what he says is unpleasant and dirty to the emperor's ears." Besides, the queen mother is indeed drinking medicine to nourish her body......"
"Whatever her idea is, as long as she is not a fool, she knows it." The emperor sneered, but did not say anything more.
Obviously, he is not ready to be a filial son-in-law and erase his brother-in-law from the conscription list.
That's my cousin's handwritten name, his cousin...... Don't dare to move.
You know, in order to settle the wounded soldiers, in order to make up the pension, my cousin is not less angry, and now it is a powder keg, whoever lights the fire will be finished!
Outside the palace gate, Mrs. Hou Shizi of Jiangning begged the little eunuch to go to Kunning Palace again and again to report, but unfortunately the little eunuch brought the same news every time he came back.
"The queen's mother and phoenix are disobedient, she has taken medicine, she is resting, she has no spirit to summon Madame, Madame should come back later."
Mrs. Shizi was so angry that she pulled her veil, and there was no way to go home.
Needless to say, this time she found nothing, and she was ridiculed by the concubine who had her face torn again.
Not to mention that the new capital is turned upside down and messed up everywhere.
Just said that here in Xincun, after being busy picking up potatoes, Tao Hongying really cooked by herself and stewed two large pots of potatoes and stewed chickens.
The light yellow potato wedges absorb the chicken broth, soft and fragrant.
The family brought a big bowl back, and immediately became the favorite of the elderly and children in the village.
Everyone was clamoring to plant these potatoes next year at the foot of the hill and at the edge of the garden.
Stewed, grilled, stir-fried, in short, be sure to eat enough!
