Chapter 224: It's Hard to Draw a Tiger's Skin and Paint a Bone (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
"I've been checking for so long, but do you have eyebrows?"
Zhao Shu, Emperor Xiping, who was dressed in a round-necked vermilion regular suit, stood behind a wide sandalwood case, with a hand behind his back in a relaxed state and a small brush of casual painting, but the pen "Panasonic Crouching Tiger" has both form and spirit, not seeing the teeth and claws, the respect of all beasts, and the mighty and domineering spirit of the Quartet, but it seems to come out of the paper!
Shen Fa stood in front of the desk with his head down, meticulous in a python robe and black yarn, his eyes stared at his toes, and he responded in a respectful and low voice: "Your Majesty, the origin of the driving force behind this matter is extremely complicated...... It has not yet been ascertained who is the mastermind. ”
"Oh?"
Emperor Xiping didn't seem surprised, and said with a faint smile: "There are still clans that dare to follow and mix?" ”
Shen Fa's eyes were solemn, his eyes looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart.
Emperor Xiping straightened up, shook his big sleeves, and said with a peaceful smile: "What other words are there for you and my monarchs and ministers to speak?" Boldly say, I forgive you for your innocence! ”
Shen Fa lowered his head and replied hesitantly: "Please calm your anger, those involved in this matter... It's the king of Chu and the king of Xiang, but they are not too deeply involved, maybe they were just deceived by traitors and used as swordsmen......"
He couldn't help but hesitate, the two clan vassal kings in his mouth were both the imperial brothers of Emperor Xiping, and the King of Chu was even the younger brother of Emperor Xiping.
Emperor Xiping is not a descendant to get the throne, after the royal pole in order to block the mouth of the people, the royal family has always been lenient, to reward and appease the majority, even if he knows that some of the clan vassal kings in the local misbehaving, disrespectful attitude, as long as it does not make trouble on the table, he also turns a blind eye, even if it was the original rebellion of King Ning, it has been to the point that Sima Zhao's heart is well known, and before there is conclusive evidence, he did not move King Ning......
But to Shen Fan's surprise, Emperor Xiping did not stop at it this time, but asked softly with a smile: "It's a little interesting, talk about it carefully." ”
Shen Fa glanced at him quickly, and he was a little confused about what the emperor meant, but after several turns in his heart, he still decided to tell the truth.
After all, in his position, he can be stupid or make mistakes, but this ass is absolutely crooked!
Besides...... Even after the matter is finished, the emperor still has to take it high and put it down gently, at least it can make the two brainless princes restrain a little, so as not to wash the floor in the future.
After thinking about it, he opened his mouth and said in a non-hurried voice: "Your Majesty, this matter is discussed...... It has to start with King Ning's secret private market and control of overseas trade. ”
"The three major weapons of foreign trade in my Great Wei: porcelain, silk, and tea, although King Ning alone controlled the overseas trade, he could not eat such a big deal alone, so he divided the source of goods, and many clans and royal relatives in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jingxiang and other places, feudal officials, and clans all accounted for the molecule."
"The two masters of Chu and Xiang are doing the fastest silk trade, and they have invaded since they started to fight the feudal domain... Well, the harvest of the fields was harvested, and the rice was changed to mulberry, and the annual output of silk was nearly 500,000 horses at its peak,"
"Not long ago, Lord Ning fell ill and died, and overseas trade finally came into the hands of the imperial court, and the two lords didn't know what to do with the mulberry fields of Lianshan County, and Lord Wang's tax reform came again, and the two lords might not be able to sit still......"
When he said something, first, he had to take into account the royal face and the dignity of the court, and second, he had to let the emperor understand what was going on.
Speaking of which, if these things are either Ning Wangshu is scattered, or he will embroider clothes and guards for a few more years, if he wants to find out these ways here, I am afraid that it will be extremely difficult.
It's not that they can't find out that King Ning is privately organizing overseas trade, and they can't find out that the royal family of the southern provinces, the feudal officials and the big families are all surrounded by King Ning's interests in overseas trade.
This is known to everyone in the court, and the emperor and Shen Fa have always had it in their hearts.
It's that it's hard for them to find out how far King Ning has gotten and to what extent the clans, feudal officials, and clans of the southern provinces have been involved.
In fact, when these materials were gathered in front of Shen Fan from all directions afterwards, he felt terrified in his heart: 'Fortunately, that reckless man slaughtered King Ning with a clean knife, otherwise, it really made King Ning make trouble, and even if it can be suppressed, Great Wei will be greatly injured......
Shen Fa stumbled when he said this.
Emperor Xiping's hand holding the pen is as steady as iron.
It wasn't until Shen Fan closed his mouth that Emperor Xiping raised his head and smiled in surprise: "Why don't you say it?" Keep moving! ”
Shen Fa was stunned, and suddenly understood what the emperor meant, and his heart suddenly felt worried.
But facing the emperor's cold eyes without the slightest smile, how dare he spit out a word?
I had to bite the bullet and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the reason why those feudal officials and the big families are involved in this matter is similar to the king of Chu and the king of Xiang, they are all large amounts of land in the clan, and they can't stand the inventory and don't want to pay this tax, so they want to take this opportunity to join forces to stir up the new policy, good, good to follow the old system, they, they are good at this ......"
"Mingjiao Weichen has not yet mastered conclusive evidence, but Weichen boldly speculated that it should be the success of Wei Gonggong, which has made a major breakthrough in the matter of recruiting Anmingjiao, and recently Yang Yinghao, the right envoy of Mingjiao, and Yang Tiansheng, the master of Mingjiao Aoki Hall, father and son, have frequent activities, and have widely contacted Mingjiao members who have the heart of surrendering to the imperial court, and jointly negotiated with those diehard believers in Mingjiao who are bent on resisting to the end, forcing some people to make this decision!"
"As for the Tartars...... According to Weichen's knowledge, at the end of last year, the Tartar envoy went to visit Yang Erlang at the Yuelai Inn, but was ruthlessly driven away by Yang Erlang. ”
Emperor Xiping looked up at him and said with a faint smile: "Look, aren't you quite 'conclusive'?" Why, the chair of the Beizhen Mansion Division is tired of sitting so quickly? Can't wait to sit in that chair in the Punishment Department? ”
He obviously smiled like a spring breeze, but Shen Fa had a trembling feeling of a basin of ice water poured from his head for three or nine days, and he hurriedly squeezed his palms to the end: "Weichen is guilty!" ”
Emperor Xiping looked down at him with a smile and asked softly, "I heard that the shopkeeper brought a few words to Wang Jiangling?" If you want Wang Jiangling to slowly figure it out, Mo will force them to jump off the wall in a hurry with a hammer? ”
"Back to Your Majesty, this is indeed the case!"
Shen Fa gritted his teeth and said: "The minister also has this intention, and after discussing with him, I will convey it to Lord Wang through his mouth, and ask Your Majesty to punish the crime." ”
"Punishment? What crimes? ”
Emperor Xiping laughed: "Cure you for the crime of loyalty to the monarch and serving the country? Or is it the crime of meddling? ”
Shen Fa: "The minister is afraid! ”
Emperor Xiping raised one hand again, shook his head leisurely and sighed lightly: "Knowing the face of the person does not know the heart, it is difficult to draw the skin of the tiger and the bones......
Shen Fa neither dared to answer, nor did he dare to get up.
After a long while, Emperor Xiping said lightly without raising his head: "Get up." ”
Shen Fan: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
Emperor Xiping: "What you just said, does the shopkeeper know?" ”
Shen Fa hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said: "It should not have reached his ears yet, although the hand outside the building is long, it can't reach into the official mansion...... But it's estimated that it's going to be fast, that guy spent a lot of money to make the building outside the building thoroughly investigated, although Zhou Yin's traitor is good friends with Yang Potian, I'm afraid he can't withstand the pressure of that guy. ”
Emperor Xiping took a deep breath and said softly: "Then hurry up and clean up, what we can do ourselves, don't bother that guy, and go to block him in three days, and that guy should pick a son to wander the world." ”
Shen Fa looked at him in surprise when he heard this, and said in his heart: "When did you two have such a tacit understanding?" ’
Emperor Xiping didn't seem to notice his surprised gaze, and continued casually: "By the way, what do you think, how about sending the crown prince over and asking him to teach for a while?" ”
Shen Fa was even more shocked, and replied stumblingly: "This, this is not necessary, right?" ”
Emperor Xiping glanced at him suspiciously: "What is not necessary?" I recruited him as the crown prince and prince before, didn't he refuse? ”
Shen Fa: 'Why are you waiting for that guy here?' ’
He pondered for a moment, and said with an honest face: "Your Majesty, but you want to listen to the truth?" ”
Emperor Xiping waved his sleeves: "Although the Tao comes, I forgive you for your innocence!" ”
Shen Fa said, "This is what you said": "Yichen's understanding of that guy, when Gonggong Wei went to announce the decree, he must not have listened to a word." ”
Emperor Xiping's face darkened: "You don't have to be so upright...... In short, the wood has been completed, I even sent him a fortune, he is the best in the world, he can't eat and wipe clean and not admit it, right? ”
Shen Fa hurriedly waved his hand and said, "But Your Majesty, what did the prince go to learn from that guy?" You can't learn how to be an innkeeper, can you? ”
Emperor Xiping furrowed his brows: "Are you pretending to be confused?" That guy can be geometric, except for me in the world, you Shen Zhonghe knows best, right? ”
Shen Fa nodded like pounding garlic: "The minister is clear, but Your Majesty, how much talent that guy has and how much he is willing to teach are completely different things, let's not say whether he is willing to accept the prince, even if he is willing, the prince has to serve the dishes and wash the dishes when he goes, if the prince dares to spit out a word, he will immediately teach the prince to know and know, what is the suffering of the people!" ”
When Emperor Xiping heard this, his cheeks couldn't help twitching a few times, as if he remembered something unbearable from the past.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "If the jade is not cut, it will not be made!" ”
Shen Fa's whole person was shocked, and he said in his heart: 'The tiger poison still eats the child, you send the prince to him, is that impure sheep into the tiger's mouth?' ’
He had already understood, the emperor had been pondering this matter for more than a day or two, and if he wanted to persuade him, it was definitely not something that he, as a courtier, could persuade him.
But he used his ass as his head, and he could imagine the appearance of the prince after he was sent to the Yuelai Inn, and when the time came, let alone him Shen Yuan, maybe even the emperor himself couldn't escape a beating......
But how did he say this? He couldn't just say in a stunned voice: 'Your Majesty, I advise you to think twice before acting, you forced that guy to be in a hurry, he really dared to come to the capital to beat you!' ’
If he wants to say these words, he doesn't know if the emperor will be beaten or not, but he will be beaten this time!
In an instant, Shen Fan's thoughts were stormy, and he blurted out: "Your Majesty, even if you want to send it, we have to pick a good time to send it over, right now that guy is annoying, the prince is going over at this juncture, isn't that asking for guilt?" ”
Emperor Xiping was stunned, felt that what Shen Fa said was also reasonable, and raised the pen again and lowered his head to draw the tiger: "What are you busy with lately?" ”
Shen Fa: 'How could I possibly tell you that he has been pondering a food called 'hot pot' lately? ’
How do you know that Emperor Xiping seems to be able to read minds, and as soon as he finished asking, he raised his head and asked himself: "Don't you say that he has been thinking about what Laozi hot pot has been thinking about for most of the month?" ”
Shen Fa: ......
"How's that cooking?"
Shen Fayan said insincerely: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister is not very clear, it seems... It's okay! ”
Emperor Xiping: "Okay?" How is it better than the Imperial Kitchen? ”
Shen Fa: "It should... It should be difficult to distinguish between them! ”
"Oh? Is it? ”
Emperor Xiping picked up the private seal on the desk with great interest: "You said that my painting "Tiger Lying on Song Mountain" can be exchanged for a hot pot for him?" ”
……
Under bright lights.
Yang Ge solemnly picked up a palm-sized piece of buffalo hairy belly that was washed black and white, and dipped it into the red oil soup pot that had just been boiled, seven up and eight times.
When the hairy belly was hot and the surface was slightly bubbling, he put the hairy belly in front of him and wrapped it in a small bowl with only sesame oil and minced garlic, and slowly sent it into his mouth.
When the long-awaited spicy, heavy and crispy compound taste with a little toughness exploded on his taste buds, he lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyelids......
"Is it delicious, second brother?"
Zhao Ru on the opposite side was holding chopsticks tightly, sucking in the hara, and staring at him with bright eyes: "Can I eat it, second brother?" Second brother, you speak! ”
Yang Ge tactically leaned back, turned his face, and waved his hand vigorously into the boiling red oil soup pot, signaling her to move her chopsticks herself.
Seeing this, Zhao Ru couldn't wait to pick up a piece of hairy belly, follow his example and dip it into the boiling red oil soup pot seven times and eight times, go through the sesame oil with minced garlic, and send it into his mouth.
In the next second, her white and translucent face turned red from the base of her neck all the way up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Siha ......"
She opened her mouth widely, exhaling hot air vigorously, tears coming out, but she was reluctant to spit out the hairy belly in her mouth: "What does this smell like... Siha... It's spicy... Siha... It's like incense... Siha ...... It's delicious! ”
"Hahaha......"
Yang Ge's unscrupulous laughter also burst into tears: "I said that you should add some vinegar, but you don't believe it!" ”
Zhao Ru stuck out his tongue while chewing on the contradictions, and said vaguely: "You, didn't you add it too?" ”
Yang Ge shook his head, lifted the vinegar pot, and added a little bit to her bowl: "This is the food of my hometown, how can you compare with me......"
Zhao Ru stretched his neck and swallowed his hairy belly, and his little face was as red as the red-faced Guan Gong.
She picked up the iced sour plum soup next to her, raised her head and took a big sip, turned her face and stretched out her chopsticks to clip her belly: "Second brother, where is your home?" The food in your hometown is delicious! ”
"My house is right here!"
Yang Ge rolled up his sleeves and rubbed his red eyes, and replied with a smile: "You slow down, I won't rob you!" ”
Zhao Ru chewed vigorously with tears: "I also want to slow down, Siha, Siha, but I can't listen to it at all......"
Since Yang Ge found the chili pepper, this foodie has followed him to eat all kinds of spicy food, and he has developed a certain resistance to spicy taste.
That's why she can taste the deliciousness of spicy hot pot, if she eats hot pot with someone who has never eaten spicy, I'm afraid that Yang Ge is poisoning him at the first bite!
"You really look like a friend of mine."
Yang Ge waved his chopsticks and picked up a long string of duck intestines and put them in the pot.
Zhao Ru's eyes followed the duck intestines on his chopsticks up and down, and he said unconsciously: "Who is it?" Have I seen it? ”
Yang Ge shook his head with a smile: "That thing is called Yang Tiansheng, he is in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he has not been to our inn yet, you have not seen it." ”
"Also surnamed Yang?"
Zhao Ru's mind was on his duck intestines, and he asked thoughtlessly: "Second brother, are you your own brother?" ”
Yang Ge was stunned, nodded and said, "Yes, my own brother...... What's the matter, how does the second brother's craftsmanship compare to the imperial chef in your palace? ”
"Imperial Chef?"
Zhao Ru pursed his lips, and his disgust overflowed: "If Niu Niu dies in their hands, it will be too wronged!" ”
"Hahaha......"
Yang Ge smiled and picked the scalded duck intestines into her bowl: "Second brother is happy to listen to this...... It's you, if you change to someone else, even if your father comes, he won't be able to eat this bite! ”
Zhao Ruxi smiled and nodded heavily: "Yes, don't give him food." ”
