Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 1949 Wills

  Sent the queen mother back to the palace, Man Bao gave the queen mother two sets of needles, Xiao Yuanzheng also watched to change a pair of medicine, and after the queen mother had eaten and drank the medicine, the two of them quit.

  Xiao Yuan exhaled: "Fortunately, there is no surprise and no danger."

  Man Bao: "...It's just a little way from the palace to Xuandu Temple, and I haven't left the city yet."

  Whether it’s still carried or in a carriage all the way, what can you do?

Xiao Yuan gave her a straight look and said: "What do you know, after a long time without action, this one has been up and down so many times. If we are frightened or accidentally dropped, the hats on our heads will not only be taken off. , I am afraid that even the head will be taken off."

  Man Bao had not had time to speak, a waiter waiting outside ran up in small steps, and whispered: "Master Zhou, Your Majesty declares you."

  Xiao Yuanzheng closed his mouth and stopped discussing this matter. He nodded to Zhou Man and said, "Go ahead."

  Man Bao went to see the emperor with his servant.

  The emperor went out, and when he came back, he still had to do the work. He was immersed in the trouble at the moment. Hearing Zhou Man's salute, he raised his head to look at her and said, "Come on? Sit down."

  Man Bao found a seat on the right and sat down, but she was a little worried. It was the first time she entered the emperor’s study, and she gave her a seat without saying a word.

  The emperor put down the pen, took the bill from the side and handed it to Gu Zhong, who took it down and showed it to Zhou Man.

   Zhou Man was confused with the bill, and a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart. The emperor wouldn’t let her pay the money, would he?

When    was holding his heart, the emperor asked: "Which three wishes did the queen mother make?"

  Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, and said all three wishes of the Queen Mother without hesitation.

  The emperor was also taken aback, but he quickly understood. He thought for a while and said to Gu Zhong: "Let the manager of Neiku pay the money."

  It is impossible to use the money from the national treasury. A few days ago, I argued in the court because of Buddhism and Taoism.

  Gu Zhong hesitated, but took the bill and went down, Man Bao took the opportunity to retire.

  The emperor said quietly: "Zhou Man, since you don't approve of spending large sums of money on Buddhism, why don't you stop the queen mother today?"

Man Bao was taken aback for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the minister does not agree, but if the queen dowager uses her own private house, what qualifications does the minister have to admonish? Besides, the queen mother is not well, so it is better to follow her at this time. "

  Man Bao paused, and she also felt that the sesame oil money for a hundred years was a bit expensive, mainly because after a hundred years, the masters of Xuan Duguan didn’t know how many to change, and it was completely unnecessary.

  She had the same idea as the emperor before, "Your Majesty can pay for a year or two. After two years, if you still want to continue the Queen Mother’s wish, then you can pay."

  The emperor righteously said: "This is the Queen Mother's last wish. How dare you fool the Queen Mother?"

  Man Baodao: "Isn't the minister afraid that you will spend money?"

   "But the Queen Mother's wishes are all good."

"Yes, whose wish can still be evil?" Man Bao said silently: "But Jiangshan Sheji looks at the moral and talents of the emperor; second, looks at whether the politician is dedicated to his duties, and the remaining two wishes are even more important. Needless to say, the wish is very beautiful, but whether it is realized or not depends not on the gods, but on the parties. So the minister thinks that there is no need to waste that money."

  The emperor was silent.

A few years ago, no, just last year, he still had the idea of ​​donating money to buy the life for the queen, but now, not only Wei Zhi and others have told him that gods and Buddhas are not credible, but even those who believe in Zhou Man said they wanted to believe. Not fascinated, and she did not believe in gods and Buddhas, but in the classics left by the sages.

   While the emperor looked back on this half of his life, he also had to believe what Zhou Man said, that the gods and Buddhas were just a comfort for people.

  The emperor rubbed his forehead and waved: "Go down."

  He decided to do his best to do his filial piety. Although the sesame oil money is quite a lot, but he can't afford it, so he should just make the queen mother happy.

  Man Bao exited. After only a few steps, he saw the manager of Neiku hurriedly over. He only nodded slightly when he saw Zhou Man, and Zhou Man stepped aside after saluting and waited for him to walk over before leaving again.

  But she couldn't help but glanced back at the hurried manager, lowered her head to hold back a smile, always feeling that the emperor couldn't get the money.

The emperor really couldn't get the money. The chief of Neiku lowered his head and reported: "...This year the imperial medical office's funds have been allocated, plus the five princes' marriage expenses, now Neiku only has 768,000 money. Six hundred..."

  The emperor’s forehead had blue veins slightly protruding, “You can tell me directly that there are still seven hundred and sixty-eight taels. You don’t need to change to copper coins to tell me.”

  The manager of Neiku stubbornly lowered his head and said: "But that is not silver, but copper..."

  In other words, the emperor has no money.

  He has a sad look on his face.

   "However," the manager of Neiku raised his head and said, "Now the summer wheat is already being harvested. It will be dried and stored in the warehouse after a while, and then there will be money to sell a batch."

  The emperor then remembered that the summer and autumn harvests were about to come. The income of the imperial village should be quite a lot, and his mood was better now.

  The eyes of the emperor and the chief Neiku fell on the bill together.

  The emperor sighed: "Go and pay for the sesame oil for the previous year. Next year, let's talk about it next year."

  Actually, what Zhou Man said is right. Whether Jiangshan Sheji is stable or not depends on the ruler and the official, the gods and the Buddha... That can only give himself psychological comfort.

Naturally, the queen mother didn’t know about these things. Her health was getting worse now. The emperor turned around and told her that the three eternal lights had been lit, and the Taoist temple had begun to do things for her, so she nodded happily, “Okay, okay. There is one more thing in the Aijia."

  The emperor shook her hand and asked, "Mother, you say."

  The queen mother said: "The Aijia knows that Yunfeng is disobedient and not sensible enough, and always annoys the emperor and empress."

  The emperor smiled generously: "She is still a child, the queen will not care about her, Mingda and Changyu are also very friendly sisters."

   "The Aijia naturally knows that Mingda is a very reasonable child."

  The emperor nodded deeply.

"So the Aijia thought, in the future, their sisters should also take care of each other. You find a good relationship for Changyu. From now on, she will stay in the capital and meet the sisters from time to time, but Yunfeng is married to Ludi from afar. , I am very worried."

  The emperor listened carefully to her next sentence.

   "So the Aijia thought, anyway, Junma is also studying in Beijing, it is better to keep Yunfeng in the capital, and their sisters will also take care of them in the future."

  The emperor smiled and said, "Mother, isn’t Yunfeng staying in the capital now?"

  The queen mother understood what he meant, and nodded with a smile: "Please also ask the emperor to take care of her more in the future."

  The emperor agreed.

  The queen mother said: "Is Xiaowu going to Yufan?"

  The emperor smiled and nodded, "Yes, three days later, it will be the right day."

"No wonder the palace is so lively these days," the Queen Mother said softly: "The Ai family has become more and more unable to sleep recently, and can't eat much anymore. I will boil for a while, and I can see that Mingda is also older. Her face has grown a little in the past six months. The meat has fallen a lot."

  The emperor held the Queen Mother’s hand and said nothing.

  The Queen Mother continued: "While I'm still awake, find her a horse, or else I will keep it for a year or two, and the good guys will be ordered to leave."

  The emperor suddenly became a little sad, and he held the hand of the queen mother and said, “The queen must live a hundred years old, and the son still wants you to hold Xiaowu’s great-grandson.”

  　See you at ten in the evening
