Chapter 175: Storytelling
Wei Yuan's operation is a bit sassy.... It's too much for middlemen to make the difference.... However, this also shows that as long as the essence of chicken is produced in large quantities, it will definitely make a lot of money.
Am I thinking that I have started a simple and unpretentious rich man with a group of wives and concubines?
"Sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry, I knew that I didn't mess around by myself, and I guided the warlocks of Si Tianjian in the direction, and I sat behind the scenes and enjoyed the rake... It's a pity that it's too late...."Xu Qi'an sighed silently.
From the tax and silver case to the Sangbo case, and now, he has offended too many court bigwigs, and he has been tied to Wei Yuan.
In such a situation, all he had to do was to cultivate and assist Wei Yuan. The more stable Wei Yuan's position and power became, the more benefits Xu Qi'an himself reaped. I really don't have much energy to tinker with alchemy.
.... Well, it's not that I'm completely out of time, I'll talk about it when I have time in the future, for today's plan, it's to step into the God Refining Realm first.
Huaiqing took a sip of tea, moistened his lips, and said in a very calm tone: "The recent battle between the various parties in the court suddenly died down. The reason is that Duke Wei and Wang Shoufu joined forces and tried to sweep away the large and small parties in the court. ”
"That's a good thing. Xu Qi'an's eyes lit up.
Huaiqing shook his head: "Father and Emperor have blocked it, and the situation in the court is chaotic, which is beneficial to him." The more fierce the struggle between the various parties, the more he can cultivate the Tao with peace of mind. If one family is dominant, or two are dominant, the court will be out of the control of the father. ”
Can tell me this, Huaiqing treats me as his own.... How do I feel like she's trusting me too much... Although I licked it well, I didn't lick you a few times in total... Xu Qi'an bowed his head and echoed:
"Party strife is a double-edged sword, it can maintain His Majesty's position, but it can also disrupt the situation. The more parties there are, the more fierce the struggle becomes, and for a long time, no one cares about government affairs, and their minds are full of conspiracies and conspiracies to bring down their opponents. ”
While speaking, Xu Qi'an has been observing Princess Huaiqing's face, and if she shows displeasure or disgust, Xu Qi'an will stop at the point.
On the contrary, Xu Qi'an used his knowledge of pseudo-historians to have a good chat with this princess, enhance his feelings, and win her more attention.
Princess Huaiqing, who was familiar with history books, squinted her eyes and deliberately set up a trap: "Isn't it possible to put an end to party strife directly." ”
Xu Qi'an shook his head: "There is no party in the court, and it is strange. ”
There is no party in the court, and there are all kinds of strange .... Princess Huaiqing repeatedly savored this sentence in her heart, her eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously hooked up a smile.
Seeing this, Xu Qi'an immediately said: "I have some shallow opinions, I don't know if the eldest princess is interested in hearing it." ”
When Princess Huaiqing heard this, she quietly straightened her sitting posture and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Xu Qi'an pondered: "Actually, Your Majesty's way of checking and balancing the court is inappropriate..."
He saw Princess Huaiqing squinting, but he didn't shout to stop, just stared at him. He continued:
"If you want to check and balance the court, you don't need so many parties, just three parties that are evenly matched. Because no matter what the field, the triangle is the most stable.... Well, except for marriage. ”
"Triangle?" Huaiqing heard an unfamiliar word.
Xu Qi'an built a triangle with her hand, and she suddenly said: "This kind of structure often appears in the construction of palaces. ”
The eldest princess is really smart.... Xu Qi'an said "um" and said: "If it were just two parties, they might form an alliance in private, and they would be incompatible on the surface and colluded behind the scenes. However, if it is a three-legged position, it will be difficult for them to reach an agreement of interests, and the situation will be relatively stable and easy to check and balance. ”
Princess Huaiqing pondered for a long time, seemed to have figured out something, chuckled, and quickly retracted, resuming a cold posture:
"The great Confucian of Yunlu Academy said that you are a seed of reading, and this palace thinks that you are just good at writing poems, but I didn't expect that there are only a few students in the world who can be like you. The great Confucian of Yunlu Academy looked at you like a torch, and it was the palace that underestimated you. ”
No, they just think that my poems are well written, and you don't underestimate me.... I'm a keyboard warrior, pointing to the country and inspiring words, and one key is invincible in the world.
Xu Qi'an smiled reservedly.
"In fact, in addition to the multiplicity of parties, the imperial court also has a very fatal problem... Your Highness, forgive your sins, and use inappropriate words for humble office. ”
Princess Huaiqing smiled lightly: "Since my family talks behind closed doors, there is no need to worry too much. ”
Her cold, bright eyes, staring, expressed a desperate desire to listen, but she didn't say it.
Xu Qi'an was immediately relieved and said: "The princes above the court, promotion, dismissal, etc., Your Majesty can easily manipulate them, but he can't manipulate the officials and officials at the bottom, especially the latter, who is the main culprit of the withering people's livelihood." ”
This question seemed to talk about Princess Huaiqing's weakness, which made her solemn all of a sudden, and interjected: "This palace is also troubled by this problem. ”
"In fact, there are two reasons why the disadvantages of Dafeng's officials have accumulated so far: First, the court party competition is fierce, negligent management, and to put it bluntly, they only fight and do nothing. Second, Your Majesty has been cultivating for twenty-one years, and the control of the imperial court over the bottom has seriously declined, which has led to the lawlessness of the officials. ”
Princess Huaiqing bowed her head: "You have the same opinion as this palace, and this palace has thought about this problem more than once, but there is no solution." ”
You're a princess, why are you thinking about this kind of thing.... Xu Qi'an said: "For the matter of officials, the suggestion of lowly positions is to centralize power. ”
"Centralized" Princess Huaiqing unconsciously had a tone of seeking advice, because this was another unfamiliar word.
"Although His Majesty now has a firm grasp of the situation, he maintains a situation where various parties are fighting, so he has to give corresponding power, His Majesty's power is too scattered...."Xu Qi'an didn't continue, he believed that with the wisdom of the eldest princess, he could understand the meaning.
In the same way, how to change the status quo? To solve the bell, it is necessary to tie the bell, or the prodigal son of Emperor Yuanjing will turn back and be diligent in government affairs. Either he abdicates.
This is the reason why Xu Qi'an interrupted the topic, and if he continued, he would inevitably talk about this taboo topic.
The two chatted for a long time, Princess Huaiqing was impressed by this gong, and Xu Qi'an was the same, this princess was not only smart, but also knowledgeable, quoting classic sentences, and talking to her was both pleasant and difficult.
Seeing that it was almost over, Xu Qi'an offered to leave. I can't talk anymore, there really isn't a drop left, and if I continue to talk about socialism, I'll have to talk to you about socialism.
Princess Huaiqing nodded, with unfinished thoughts in her eyes.
.....
Leaving Princess Huaiqing's palace, Xu Qi'an turned his head and went to Lin'an, and soon got the word and entered the mansion under the leadership of the guards.
It's two o'clock (half past nine in the morning), and Lin'an, who is wearing a fiery red dress, is kicking shuttlecocks with the palace maid.
If Xu Lingyin is talented in the field of eating, framing is talented in playing, and she is now kicking shuttlecock better than Xu Qi'an, who practices martial arts.
The flaming red skirt is flying, the small waist is twisting and twisting, and the slender legs seem to have their own GPS, which can always catch the shuttlecock and kick it back into the air.
So if this girl was born in his time, she would be a little queen of nightclubs who travel every day and go clubbing.
The skirts of this era were too conservative, and pants were worn underneath.... Xu Qian, who hadn't seen anything, scolded in his heart, hugged his fists and said, "Your Highness." ”
Seeing Xu Qi'an coming to visit, she kicked the shuttlecock to the palace maid and pinched her waist: "Didn't you say that when the case is over, you will come over every day to ask for peace." ”
"This palace is not a lowly place to enter..."Xu Qi'an walked in the direction of the pavilion, and Princess Lin'an also followed.
She took the sweat towel handed by the maid, wiped her little face, and messed up her originally delicate eyebrows.
"Bengong recently wanted to go out of the palace to play, you accompany me. Lin'an returned the sweat towel to the maid and washed her hands again.
Xu Qi'an glanced at her: "Don't." ”
Lin An's eyes glared: "Dog minion." ”
The two began to play the eagle again, framing and trying to subdue Xu Qi'an with their charming and amorous peach blossom eyes, and Xu Qi'an used dead fish eyes to contend with them.
Sure enough, she was the first to admit defeat, her round goose face was slightly shy, she looked away, and said angrily: "If you are Huaiqing, are you obedient?"
Huaiqing won't let me do this kind of death Okay, kidnapping the princess out of the palace is going to cut off the head.... Xu Qi'an took out the porcelain bottle from his arms:
"I recently happened to have a gadget that I added to my cooking to enhance the umami. It's called chicken bouillon. ”
In front of mounting, he was more casual and never despicable, and the second princess never cared about this.
"Essence of chicken... What a strange name. Lin'an smiled and said: "I don't have any money to spend, right, this palace will reward you with another painting, well, Curry sent an ivory pen, which is said to be quite valuable, and I don't like to write, so I'll give it to you." ”
Xu Qi'an immediately said: "Your Highness misunderstood, the lowly position is not for the reward, the lowly position is willing to be a cow and a horse for the princess." ”
Lin'an is a person who likes to listen to sweet words, and he was immediately happy: "Then what do you want?"
"Your Highness, please convert it into silver. ”
"If you want silver, you can do it...."The framed hand held his cheeks, staring at him with a smile, and the misty peach blossom eyes seemed to be looking at the lover.
"Bengong is bored and panicked, I'm tired of playing shuttlecock, you tell me a story, just talk about the Journey to the West last time. ”
"Okay, Your Highness, this time I'll talk to you about borrowing a banana fan. Xu Qi'an drank the tea served by the palace maid and moistened his throat:
"One day, Tang Seng and his apprentices came to the Flame Mountain, and the fire was raging, and they couldn't fly over. The land lord told Sun Dasheng that if he wanted to extinguish the flames of the Flame Mountain, he had to beg for a banana fan like the princess of the iron fan. Speaking of the Iron Fan Princess, she is the wife of the Bull Demon King. ”
"The Bull Demon King is Sun Dasheng's sworn brother. "The framed memory is very good, and the coquettish voice shouted.
"Yes, so Sun Dasheng and Mrs. Niu still have an unknown relationship. ”
"What origin?"
"Princess, listen to me continue...."Xu Qi'an glanced at the palace maid, "You wait outside the pavilion." ”
The palace maid left obediently.
Xu Qi'an was immediately relieved and continued: "Sun Dasheng came to Basho Cave, and Princess Tiefan warmly welcomed him in, but she was unwilling to borrow a banana fan. So the two started hand-to-hand combat.
"Sun Dasheng said: Sister-in-law, I am already in you.
"The princess of the iron fan said: Ah, it hurts, I can't stand it, you hurry up."
Sun Dasheng said: Sister-in-law opened her mouth, my grandson is coming out.
And at this time, the Bull Demon King was outside the door and witnessed all this. ”
"Then who does he help?" Lin An said distressedly: "One is a righteous brother, and the other is a wife." Dilemma. ”
"No, the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess are gone. ”
