The rise of the poor

Chapter 711 Deceiving me too much
An hour is two hours, and Qi Jiguang waited for half an hour outside Yan Song's gate before he was summoned.

After Qi Jiguang walked into Yan Song's room, Zhu Ping'an looked away and began to deal with the business affairs accumulated due to the writing of Qing Ci. After reading two memorials, Yan Song began to ask people to hand in the Qing Ci that he had written. As for Qi Jiguang, who reported the military situation, Zhu Pingan only had time to see his back as he walked out of Wuyi Hall.

At about eleven o'clock, Zhu Ping'an felt that the entire Xiyuan was busy with Emperor Jiajing's sacrificial offerings.

Soon, the entire Xiyuan was filled with smog, and more than a thousand catties of joss sticks were wiped out. If this happened in modern times, Emperor Jiajing would have been sprayed on the dog belt by environmentalists.

This is the second time that Zhu Ping'an participated in Emperor Jiajing's fasting ceremony. The last time was when he was in the Imperial Academy.

This time Zhu Ping'an felt a little different from the last time. Last time, he was in charge of writing, painting, and arranging the venue. This time, he accompanied the worship ceremony and was closer to the Zhaijiao activity center.

Yuan Wei, Li Chunfang and others were still in charge of writing youth poems in the Buddhist altar. When Zhu Pingan met Yuan Wei, he felt the envy and hatred in Yuan Wei's eyes, and seemed to have great opinions on his early cabinet.

After the Zhaijiao activity started, Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but thank Li Shu for her foresight. The soft leather shoes under her feet were really a magic weapon for Zhaijiao.

During the Zhaijiao activities, I prayed and knelt again and again. If I still wore the official boots before, Zhu Pingan estimated that I would have two useless feet now. Now I am wearing these soft leather shoes, kneeling so much. Ping An didn't feel any discomfort in his legs or feet.

While kneeling and worshiping during the fasting ceremony, Zhu Pingan quietly observed Tao Zhongwen, an old magic stick at close range. The old magic stick has a fluttering white beard, a childlike face with crane hair, and an apricot yellow Taoist robe, which is quite fairy-like.

But no matter how immoral he is, he can't change the essence of his old magic stick.

After the fasting ceremony was about to end, You Daotong sent a letter urgently. After Tao Zhongwen opened it, his face was happy, and then he thanked Emperor Jiajing who was wearing a blue cloth gossip robe.

"Reporting to the true king, the minister's younger brother--Zhang Yansheng, a Taoist priest from Qihe County, built the Daqing Bridge. When he dredged the river, he got a keel weighing a thousand catties. It also protruded from a vein of stone and sand, several feet long, like a god. .This is the auspicious god descended from heaven, congratulations to Zhenjun, congratulations to Zhenjun.”

By reading Tao Zhongwen's lips, Zhu Ping'an knew the content of the letter in Tao Zhongwen's hand, and it turned out that a bone of a thousand pieces of gold had been dug out.

keel?

It's terrible to have no culture, what kind of keel, it's the fossil of ancient organisms, okay?

Zhu Pingan curled his lips speechlessly.

However, Emperor Jiajing followed suit. Hearing that Long Yan was very happy, he gave 20 taels of silver to build Yuanyue Mountain in Taihe Mountain, Huguang.

Taihe Mountain, also known as Wudang Mountain, is said to have been practiced here by Zhenwu (Xuantian God, Xuanwu Great Emperor, Yousheng Zhenjun Xuantian God, Infinite Patriarch) and is a famous Taoist mountain.Emperor Jiajing named Wudang Mountain the No. 1 mountain in the world.Whenever there is a major event, Emperor Jiajing will make people worship in Wudang Mountain.

Ma Dan!Tao Zhongwen, the old wretch who wreaks havoc on the country!
Zhu Pingan couldn't help it, and cursed Tao Zhongwen again in his heart.

During the last sacrificial offering, I was so daring to write green poems at the Buddhist altar, and it was nothing more than gold powder dipped in more than a dozen brushes hidden in my sleeve.

But this old magic stick defrauded Emperor Jiajing of a full 20 taels of silver with a single letter.

20 taels is not a small amount.

Last year, there was a severe drought in Ningxia and Gansu. People had nothing to eat, and they ate each other. The imperial court only distributed 20 taels of silver to relieve the disaster.

Tao Zhongwen, an old god, a paleontological fossil, stole disaster relief funds from two provinces from the treasury
Zhu Ping'an couldn't be disgusted with Tao Zhongwen, an old magic stick.

Cultivate your way and recite your scriptures in the deep mountains, but how can you torment me, Daming!The overthrow of the Ming Dynasty a hundred years later was due to the "credit" of these gods, otherwise why would the Ming Dynasty be so short-lived.

At this time, Tao Zhongwen, who was a fairy, with a straight hair and a childlike face, became more and more wretched and ugly in Zhu Ping'an's eyes.
Because of the "dragon bone", Emperor Jiajing's Long Yan was very happy. Yan Song, who performed outstandingly in this sacrificial ceremony, also received a special award from Emperor Jiajing. He was rewarded with a "green hat" that must have been made by himself. The merit of fasting and offering sacrifices, and two excellent Qingci written by Yan Song.

Yuan Wei also received a special award from Emperor Jiajing. During this fasting ceremony, a Qing Ci written by Yuan Wei was also favored by Emperor Jiajing.

The same goes for Li Chunfang, Su Ye's pretentious Qing Ci was also favored by Emperor Jiajing.

As for Zhu Ping'an, like other people who participated in the fasting ceremony, he was only rewarded by Emperor Jiajing "a catty of ice from other officials".

Yuan Wei wore the fragrant leaf crown specially rewarded by Emperor Jiajing, and walked in front of Zhu Pingan proudly. When he passed in front of Zhu Pingan, he gave Zhu Pingan a contemptuous look, and flicked the fragrant leaf crown deliberately, with a complacent expression. Walk away from Zhu Ping'an's eyes.

"Wearing a cuckold and being so proud is really a role model for forgiveness."

Zhu Pingan looked at the back of Yuan Wei who was jolting away, and curled his lips speechlessly.

When Emperor Jiajing was fasting and offering sacrifices at noon, he was very happy, but when he was about to get off work in the afternoon, his temper was sent to the cabinet.

Under Emperor Jiajing's temper, the cabinet was like a boat about to capsize in a storm.

This was the first time Zhu Pingan saw Emperor Jiajing lose his temper.

When Emperor Jiajing stepped into the cabinet, Zhu Pingan felt a great pressure, bowed his head like a quail, and knelt down with everyone to plead guilty.

The reason why Emperor Jiajing lost his temper was that Jinkou Yuyan allocated 20 taels of money to order Tao Zhongwen to perform the ceremony of calming the gods and build the funeral ceremony at Jianyuan Mountain in Wudang Mountain.

The problem lies in the 20 taels.

After the feast, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War wrote a letter at this juncture. The Ministry of Household said that disaster relief and military expenditures were huge, and the treasury was in short supply. The Ministry of Industry said that the cost of repairing the capital city wall was huge; , Shangshu asked to borrow 30 silver from the military salary for relief.
In short, there is a shortage of silver.

Three letters to Emperor Jiajing, please withdraw the 20 taels from the internal treasury for the cost of building Yuanyue in Taihe Mountain.

What is the internal library?
The inner treasury is a concept corresponding to the national treasury. The inner treasury is the inner carrier warehouse. It is the small treasury of Emperor Jiajing. Minority leaders, Ming vassal states directly attacked the tribute income to Emperor Jiajing, the pocket money allocated from the treasury every year, ransacked homes, and sent eunuchs to various places to collect mining taxes, mountain taxes, grave taxes, river taxes, etc.
It is not easy to save.

This is the lifeblood of Emperor Jiajing, and the reliance on Emperor Jiajing's practice of Taoism and alchemy.

Emperor Jiajing spent a lot of money in alchemy. Musk, cinnabar, mercury, lead, mica, lead mother and other alchemy materials were expensive. The amount used by Emperor Jiajing to cultivate alchemy was astronomical, and alchemy was like burning money.

It's not that Emperor Jiajing didn't pay attention to the treasury, but if the money from the treasury was spent on alchemy, the ministers would not allow it, because they were a little brainless and even threatened their lives. Emperor Jiajing had no choice but to give up using the money from the treasury to refine alchemy idea.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing could only rely on the inner treasury to support his cultivation and alchemy.

In the eyes of Emperor Jiajing, Jianyuan Mountain's ceremony of calming the gods is the same project as Fengchan Taishan's sacrifice to the heavens.

Now the minister wants Emperor Jiajing to pay money from the internal treasury, how can Emperor Jiajing bear it.

Alchemy, you don't let me use the treasury money, okay, I use my own private money!Now, Jian Yuanyue is doing the ceremony of calming the gods. Your treasury should have been released, but now you want to use my private money!
Bullying me too much!

You are so brave!
