Chapter 676: Heavy Mountains and Waters (2)(1/2)
In April of the eighth year of Zhengde, when spring and summer meet, everyone is a little busy.
Ningxia, Zhu Zhili, the king of Anhua, was busy burning the government, releasing prisoners, recruiting soldiers from border generals and soldiers, and busy rebelling.
In Shaanxi, Zhao Hongpei was busy lobbying Yang Yiqing, who was in charge of Yansui, wanted to join the team to seek rebellion with his first military merits with a good speech, good skills and the emperor's confidants.
In Shanxi, Li Xi was busy following the houses of the Jin Palace, the Qingcheng Palace and other vassal states, thinking that it would be best to intercept the letters of rebellion. If they could not, they would speed up the production of some evidence.
In Beijing, the adults were also busy "war" and verbal wars.
Is it not to cultivate the Ganqing Palace, which was burned to the Hongde Palace? How to cultivate it?
Where to use the wood? Where to enforce the labor service?
And the most important thing, where does the silver come from?!
Around these various issues, internal officials and external ministers, the Ministry of Works and Revenue, had a lot of verbal confrontation, but there was no result yet.
The censors under various sects took turns to use the fire in the Ganqing Palace to blame the emperor for all kinds of unfairness and all kinds of unfairness in the world.
The first thing to do is that the emperor shouldn’t indulge in vocal music and not play with lanterns, wouldn’t it be fine?
"What I said is unreasonable. From ancient times to the present, who did not light the lamps on the Shangyuan Festival? The censors also light the lamps, and they have never burned them to ashes."
Shou Ge mocked him, raised his hand and threw a live chicken through the fence and landed on the rockery of the beast pond with lakes and stones.
There was a tiger lying on the rocks, with black and white fur, and it turned out to be a rare white tiger.
But when the white tiger was stretched out its limbs and looked very lazy, she let the chicken flew in panic in front of her, and she kept squinting her eyes and basking in the sun, looking completely lazy and lazy.
Just now, Brother Shou and his party had just come from the Wolf House. A few live chickens were thrown in. The wolves rushed forward, scrambling and biting them. The fun was so lively that Brother Shou clapped and cheered.
The tiger pool was so cold. Qian Ning was afraid that Brother Shou would find it boring, so he thought of a way to tease the white tiger to come to get food. Brother Shou smiled.
But Brother Shou became more and more happy and said to the left and right: "This is what the king of beasts should do."
Qian Ning immediately followed the praises, and the eunuchs from both sides and left and right contacted the emperor and praised Shou Ge.
The little eunuch who was in charge of the beast pool shrank back, his smile a little awkward. Even if the native dog just had ten kilograms of beef, he would have such an "emperoral attitude"...
Brother Shou smiled and listened to everyone's praise of the saints, waved his hand for a while, "Still keep it for another month, then move it to the Beast Garden. Let the people have fun together."
There was a voice around me that "the emperor was wise and polite to the people."
The eunuch in the chief manager of the Hundred Beasts Garden smiled and his face was pleated, as if he saw silver waving.
The West Garden is now open daily, and the Hundred Beasts Garden has also opened every five days to every three days, and it is still crowded and rushing to make money every day.
Not only the ticket revenue, but also the trick that Chen Chuan gave to Xiao Lao Lao (Liu Zhong) to allow the people to feed animals and birds, which also made great profits.
No matter whether it is a handful of millet or a few fruits or a live chicken, it is much more expensive than in the market outside. Many people are still willing to buy it for fun, which not only makes money, but also saves the expense of feeding animals and poultry. .
The emperor is also generous, and many rare animals are willing to let them go and appreciate them with the people. Such precious animals are charged high-priced tickets.
This time, the White Tiger comes, this is auspicious!
No one saw him quietly when he entered the city. Now that he can see him, the gate of the Hundred Beasts Garden will not be broken by the people!
But it is said that this white tiger was sent to Xiyuan by Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang, a month ago.
Zhang Yanling had promised the emperor's nephew to get a white tiger, but if such a white tiger was easy to get, it would not be called auspiciousness. In recent years, the Jianchang Hou Mansion has been asking people to search for it in the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong, but it has never been able to do it. .
Last year, when the general was in winter, there was news that the savage Naomen encountered a white tiger. Under the heavy reward, even if the mountain was covered with heavy snow, someone risked his life to hunt. It was not until the beginning of spring this year that he finally captured it.
The crowd was extremely happy and carried the white tiger auspiciousness out of the deep mountains with drums and drums.
The news in the mountains was blocked, and it was not until the county town that I learned that there was a fire in the Ganqing Palace.
In history, God has to warn you that something happened to the palace. Many of the memorials of the censors have been circulated among the people, and the people who have not had a happy life agree with it.
The people from the Marquis of Jianchang were also stunned. At this time, should this auspiciousness be offered or not?
The emperor's reputation for being playful has not been passed down for a day or two.
Here I just came to the sky to warn you, and then I said that auspiciousness came from the sky, but don’t be beaten to be a monster who hooked up with the emperor and lost his ambition.
But the noise of carrying the White Tiger out of the mountain was too big. Everyone in the village knew about it. It would definitely not work if they were put back, and it would be even worse if they kept it privately. Who else dared to raise such a auspicious beast except the emperor?
This person urgently reported to Beijing, and Zhang Yanling was also having a headache. Why did he catch up with such a time?
I spent a lot of money on this White Tiger, but I still spent money on this money!
He went to the palace to discuss with the empress dowager for a long time, but in the end the white tiger was sent to the West Garden, but it was very low-key and the people probably didn't know.
If I send it to the Hundred Beasts Garden this time, it will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city.
The eunuch in charge is already thinking about how much the ticket is appropriate.
And he still had a narrow vision. Qian Ning on the side would smile and said, "The emperor is merciful, so that the people can worship auspiciousness. Great kindness! Is this a ceremony to be held..."
His voice was a little lowered, "It's better to suppress some people's mouths."
When all the eunuchs heard this, they all said that this was the case.
The internal officials were scolded by the foreign ministers so much that they went to the eunuchs and the imperial shops every time. They really didn't want to leave any good things for them. Why didn't the eunuchs want to make a comeback? !
But their long live-action doesn't think so.
Shou Ge said indifferently: "What are you trying to do if you are shallow. If you finally get a live chicken, just grab it and let them bite it."
As he said that, he turned his head to appreciate the elegant posture of the white tiger. Wherever he was excited, he recited two poems by his predecessors chanting the tiger.
The eunuchs couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Long Live, you are not treating the Censor as a wolf cub with shallow eyes, but throwing us as live chickens and playing with it."
Before they could persuade him a few more words, Qian Ning followed the emperor and praised him for his demeanor.
Brother Shou glanced at him and suddenly asked, "You said, why didn't the censor's lanterns go away? The lanterns of King Jin of Paning were on fire."
Qian Ning's eyes rolled and said with a smile: "I saw that the lantern was exquisite. I thought it was because Prince Ning had put a lot of effort into it. The workmanship was complicated. The lamplighter didn't know the mechanism, and there was also a mistake if he lost it."
That day, the eunuch who set up lanterns in the Ganqing Palace had already been wiped out in the ashes of the people in the world, so no one could tell me why.
All of them are Qian Ning who says it is round and flat.
This money Ning has taken advantage of King Ning a lot. However, if the emperor once complained that Shandong lanterns were not good, it was Zang Xiantuo who gave Ning. King Ning gave the gorgeous palace lanterns to the emperor, and he really won the favor of the emperor. He gave Zang Xian a double gift.
This made Qian Ning very jealous.
At this moment, something went wrong with the lantern, and Qian Ning was gloating.
However, when the emperor asked, he took so much silver from King Ning, so it was not easy to bring him to King Ning. He said that the lantern was small, but if you want to do it well, you must
I have tried my best to think that the gold, silver, and silk lanterns that my godfather had entered at the beginning were also…”
His godfather, Qian Neng, guarded Yunnan during the Chenghua period. He found that the people of Yongchang refined stones into silk, piled them into cloth to make lamp screens, and called silk lanterns. So he locked the slabs and did not allow them to flow out, so he made palace lanterns to offer to the royal family.
This lamp can be described as "carved jade and cut clouds, elegant and exquisite", and is extremely gorgeous.
It was not until Qian Neng died that the descendants of the invented silk dared to spread the prescription. Now the "Diannan Silk Light" and the "Danyang Silk Light" imitated by Danyang, Jiangsu Province were sold in China and are very popular. This can be seen.
Exquisite.
Of course, the most top of them naturally belongs to those who come to the palace, and it is no wonder that Qian Ning has the capital to show off.
Shou Ge did not follow Qian Ning's words, and did not praise Qian Neng, but said: "Since King Ning's lamp burned the Qianqing Palace, he naturally wanted King Ning to compensate him."
Qian Ning choked and immediately shut his mouth and pretended to be dead.
How do you continue with this? I am willing to share your worries with King Ning? No, I don’t want to!
If you can't say nice words, Zang Xian said it, but if you offend someone, you will ask yourself to do it.
Fortunately, Brother Shou seemed to not care whether Qian Ning responded, so he ordered the eunuch beside him and said, "You think about talking to Liu Daban and let him discuss with all the old gentlemen in the cabinet."
Qian Ning immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little surprised. Why didn’t the emperor mention this? After delaying for so long, he remembered it?
I don't know if someone said something in front of the emperor.
Or is it that is not open to the eyes of the censor...
Qian Ning was already thinking in his heart how many benefits he could exchange this news with King Ning for exchange.
When the emperor went to the queen's bedroom, Qian Ning was not on duty, so he took advantage of the situation to leave the palace and return home. He found a few confidants, asked about the news from all over the court, and sent someone to find the people who were doing business in Beijing.
The people from Ning Wang didn't arrive, but the people from Silijian who he bribed him to send the message.
"King Anhua rebelled? Did he look carefully?" Although Qian Ning asked this, he understood that no one dared to speak nonsense about such a big thing.
"The young master said he was urgently reported to him by Babaili." The manager replied, "The young master said that Liu Qiansui's face changed drastically after seeing it. There would be no mistake."
He lowered his voice again, "The young master Hou said that the urgent report was attached to the next one, but he only glanced at the first one. Liu Qiansui behind him glanced at him and took it away, and told everyone to close their eyes.
He hurried back to his private residence. It was a big deal."
Qian Ning smacked his lips. Liu Jin took the memorial back to the mansion without a single or twice. When Zhang Cai was not showing up, Liu Jin brought the memorial back and discussed it with his disciples, and then let Jiao Fang polish the praise.
But the situation this time is obviously different. What did Liu Jin want to hide it?
Qian Ning regretted asking someone to invite the people from the Ning Prince's Mansion. The situation was beyond his expectations. He had to think about how to tell the people of the Ning Prince to get the best benefits.
So while asking someone to ask his confidant staff to discuss matters, he asked someone to hold back the visitor from the Ning Prince's Mansion, "I just said that I had something urgent to do, so I'll come back soon, put on the good table, and let Fangrui go over and play a song.
