An hour is two hours, Qi Jiguang in Yan Song door full wait half an hour before being summoned.
After Qi Jiguang walked into Yan Song room, Zhu Pingan retracted his gaze, began to deal with the public affairs due to make green words piled up, also only just read two folders, Yan Song began to make green words on the SSE, as for the report on the military situation of Qi Jiguang, Zhu Pingan only had time to see the back of his out of the Wuyi Hall.
Around eleven o’clock, Zhu Pingan felt that the entire West Garden began to Jiajing Emperor’s Jiaojiao activities busy.
Soon, the entire West Garden was filled with smoke, more than a thousand pounds of joss sticks and candles went up in smoke, if this is put into the modern era, Emperor Jiajing will be sprayed by environmentalists to the leash.
This is the second time to participate in the Jiajing Emperor’s jiao-festival, the last time is in the Hanlin Academy.
This time Zhu Pingan felt a little different from the last time, last time was responsible for writing and drawing to set up the venue, this time is to accompany the worship, closer to the centre of the jiao-festival activities.
Yuan Wei, Li Chunfang and others are still in charge of writing the green words at the Dharma altar. When Zhu Pingan met Yuan Wei, he felt the envy and jealousy in Yuan Wei’s eyes, and seemed to have a big opinion about his early Sizhi Cabinet.
After the start of the jiaozi activities, Zhu Pingan could not help but thank Li Shu for her foresight, the soft leather and silk shoes under the feet are really jiaozi divine weapons.
Jiaojiao activities again and again in the prayer kneeling, if still wearing the previous official boots, Zhu Pingan estimated that he now has two ruined feet, now wearing this soft leather shoes, kneeling so much, Zhu Pingan did not feel any discomfort in the legs and feet.
Jiaojiao activities kneeling, Zhu Pingan close quietly observed Tao Zhongwen this old clergyman, the old clergyman white beard, crane hair, apricot yellow robe, quite a few points of the immortal wind and Taoist style.
But no matter how immortal style and Taoist bones, can not change the nature of his old clergyman.
Jiaojiao activities are coming to an end, a Taoist boy urgently sent a letter, Tao Zhongwen opened, the face of joy, and then to the Jiajing Emperor wearing a blue cloth gossip Taoist robes to say thank you.
“Enlighten the True Lord, the minister’s senior brother — Qihe County Taoist Zhang Yansheng built the Daqing Bridge, dredging the river to get a piece of dragon bone, weighing a thousand pounds. Also protruding from a vein of stone and sand, several zhang long, like a divine appearance. This is a godly miracle from heaven, congratulations to the True Lord, congratulations to the True Lord ……”
By reading Tao Zhongwen’s lips, Zhu Pingan knew the content of the letter in Tao Zhongwen’s hand, which turned out to be a piece of bone weighing a thousand jin that had been dug out.
Dragon bone?
It’s scary to be uncultured, what dragon bone, that’s a fossil of an ancient creature alright.
Zhu Ping’an speechless skimmed his mouth.
However, Jiajing Emperor ate this set, heard the dragon’s face was very happy, the mouth of the open, it is the allocation of silver 200,000 taels, so that it is in Hunan and Guangdong Taihe Mountain built Yuanyue, the ceremony of peace and God, and build Jiaojiao for the blessing of the Great Ming.
Taihe Mountain, also known as Wudang Mountain, according to legend, Zhenwu (Xuan Tian God, Xuan Wu Da Di, Yu Sheng Zhenjun Xuan Tian God, Infinite Ancestor) had been cultivated here, for the famous Taoist mountain. Emperor Jiajing made Wudang Mountain the most famous mountain in the world. Whenever there is a major event, Emperor Jiajing will make people in the Wudang Mountain Jiaojiao.
bast*rd! Tao Zhongwen, this woeful old scoundrel!
Zhu Pingan couldn’t help but curse Tao Zhongwen again in his heart.
The last time the jiao-festival, he wrote in the altar of the law of the green words, the dog dare to all, but only in the sleeve of the private collection of more than ten brushes dipped in the gold powder only.
But this old clergyman with a letter, from the Jiajing Emperor that cheated the whole 200,000 taels of silver.
Two hundred thousand taels is not a small amount.
Last year, Ningxia, Gansu, two places in the drought, people do not think food, to eat each other, the court is only issued two hundred thousand taels of silver relief only.
Tao Zhongwen this old clergyman, a paleontological fossil, from the treasury to get away from two provinces of the relief money ……
Zhu Pingan couldn’t be more disgusted with Tao Zhongwen the old scoundrel.
You can cultivate your Tao and recite your scriptures in the deep mountains, so why come to toss my Ming! A hundred years after the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, there are these godly men not small “credit”, otherwise why would the Ming Dynasty deficit to that point.
At this time, the immortal style of Tao Zhongwen, crane hair, in the eyes of Zhu Pingan, also more and more obscene and ugly ……
Because of the “dragon bone” matter, Jiajing emperor dragon face great pleasure, the jiaojiao activities in the outstanding performance of yan song also got Jiajing emperor’s special award, rewarded a certain hand-made “green hat”, no, is the incense leaf crown, Jiajing yan song’s assistance in the jiaojiao of merit, and yan songThe two good green words written by Yan Song.
Yuan Wei also got the Jiajing Emperor’s special commendation, this time in the Jiaojiao, Yuan Wei made a green words, also got the Jiajing Emperor’s favour.
Li Chunfang, too, was also favoured by Emperor Jiajing for a Qing lyric that he had been working on all night.
As for Zhu Pingan, he was just like the other participants in the Jiao-festival, and was only rewarded by Emperor Jiajing with “one catty of ice from other officials”.
Yuan Wei wearing Jiajing Emperor’s special reward ears incense leaf crown, high and mighty from Zhu Pingan walked past, passed in front of Zhu Pingan, looked askance at Zhu Pingan a glance, but also deliberately the incense leaf crown flicked a bit, look self-satisfied from the eyes of Zhu Pingan dashing away.
“To wear a cuckold and still be so proud, truly a model of forgiveness session.”
Zhu Pingan looked at Yuan Wei’s back as he left in a lurch, and wordlessly skimmed his mouth.
When Emperor Jiajing was having his noon jiaojiao, he was still in a dragon’s face, but as a result, by the time he was about to leave work in the afternoon, his temper was all over 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 had seen Emperor Jiajing lose his temper.
When Emperor Jiajing stepped into the cabinet, Zhu Pingan felt a great pressure and lowered his head like a quail, kneeling on the ground with all the people to ask for forgiveness.
Jiajing emperor lost his temper because, is the jiaojiao jingxiao allocation of 200,000 taels to make Tao Zhongwen in the Wudang Mountain Jianyuan Yue perform the rituals of peace and God and build jiaojiao matter.
The problem is in this two hundred thousand two.
Jiaojiao, the Ministry of households, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War in this juncture on the letter, the Ministry of households that disaster relief, military expenditure and so on huge expenses, the treasury is in short supply; Ministry of Industry that the cost of repairing the walls of the capital city is quite huge; Ministry of War that Xuanfu, Datong famine, on the request of the amount of borrowing the military pay 300,000 silver for relief ……
In short, the silver shortage.
The three ministries submitted a letter to the Jiajing Emperor, requesting that this 200,000 taels of expenses from the treasury for the cost of building the Yuanyue of Taihe Mountain.
What is the internal treasury?
The internal treasury is the opposite concept of the state treasury, the internal treasury that is, the internal transport library, is the Jiajing emperor’s small treasury, is the Jiajing emperor’s hard “save” private money, such as the Jiajing emperor’s name of the royal estate earnings, officials, minority leaders, the Ming affiliated countries directly attacked to the Jiajing emperor’s tribute to the proceeds of the state treasury every year to allocate the pocket money, copying the family to retain,Sending eunuchs to various places to collect mine tax, mountain tax, grave tax, river tax, etc. ……
It was not easy to save up.
This is the lifeblood of the Jiajing Emperor, is the Jiajing Emperor cultivation alchemy dependence.
Jiajing emperor cultivation and alchemy cost huge, musk, sand, mercury, lead, mica, lead and other alchemy materials expensive, Jiajing emperor cultivation and alchemy with the amount that is astronomical, alchemy is like burning money.
Jiajing emperor is not not hit the attention of the state treasury, but if you spend the money of the state treasury to alchemy, the ministers are determined not to allow, by some of the brain dead even threaten their lives ……Jiajing Emperor had to dispel the idea of using the treasury money to make dan.
Therefore, Jiajing Emperor can only rely on the internal treasury to support the monastic alchemy.
In the view of Emperor Jiajing, the construction of Yuanyue to perform the ritual of Anshen, and Fengzhan Taishan sacrifices to heaven and so on is the same project, are for the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, which should have been from the state treasury money.
Now the minister even want Jiajing emperor from the internal treasury, Jiajing emperor how can tolerate.
Alchemy, you do not allow me to use the national treasury money, well, I use their own private money well! Now, Jian Yuan Yue to perform the ceremony of An Shen, should be your treasury out of the front, and now you want to use my private money!
It’s too much for me!
You guys are so bold!
