Chapter 493 Lin Dao is online again
The capital during the Chinese New Year is very different from the past.
The dandy boys on the street have obviously become more well-behaved and become more polite.
After all, the loyal and obedient king Liu Ke has returned to Beijing!
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Liu Ke showed up in the palace, found an excuse to leave the Forbidden City, and wandered around the market with two soldiers.
"Sir, it seems there is Marquis Yongfeng in front of me."
"Oh? Where? Where?"
Liu Ke took a roast duck from a stall nearby and gnawed it without the image of a prince.
What is the image of Thirteenth Master? Is it important?
He raised his head and looked in the direction of the soldiers' fingers. At the barbecue stall not far ahead, Jia Cong, dressed in a purple orange cat suit, was rolling up his sleeves, holding a meat skewer in one hand and a brush for brushing condiments in the other. Playing barbecue while singing a little tune.
In front of the stall, there are circles and circles of little carrot heads, and you can faintly see a big furry yellow and black cat squatting among the dolls, eating meat and drinking wine...
Uh, not this one.
Liu Ke had already smelled the fragrance of cumin, and instantly felt that the roast duck in his hand was no longer fragrant, and tears flowed down from the corners of his mouth.
He stuffed the roast duck into the soldier's hands and strode forward.
"Hey, this kid still knows how to play! Come on, let's go join in the fun."
Soon, among the pile of dolls in front of the barbecue stall, there was an eight-year-old and 480-month-old child, with a skewer of meat in his hand, making it smell delicious.
The dolls were very dissatisfied with this old boy wearing a "dragon robe" because when he arrived, the hot kebabs were always snatched away by him immediately.
Jia Cong glanced at Old Thirteen speechlessly. He looked like he had been hungry for several meals. Not only did he snatch a few skewers of meat that had just been roasted from his hands, but he also snatched away a doll on the side that he didn't have time to eat. meat skewers.
He stuffed a skewer of barbecue into the hands of the child who had already opened his mouth and was about to cry, and said helplessly to Liu Ke: "Thirteenth Master, the palace didn't leave any food for you, so you are starving?"
Suck it up~suck it up~
The soldier asked for a chair from the stall owner next to him. Old Thirteen sat beside the oven with great enthusiasm, chewing the barbecue with great pleasure. From time to time, he also looked at the "glaring" little dolls, who were eating the dolls. When they were so greedy that they almost cried, they laughed with joy.
"It's so ugly to cry, hahahaha..."
He did not respond to Jia Cong's inquiry, but pinched the fat baby's face with his greasy hands, waved to take the big money bag from the soldiers, and took out silver beans one after another.
"Come on, let me pinch your cheek..."
The Thirteenth Master is indeed the most special one among the royal family members. One pinches his face, the other makes his brain collapse, and then each of them is rewarded with a silver bean.
The tyrannical King Zhongshun never cares whether the other party has money or not. Anyway, few people are richer than him, and he is very generous in rewarding people.
Soon, the group of dolls got enough silver beans from Master Thirteen to buy them snacks for a year, and they all gathered around the old boy to play with him.
The children's hearts are pure and ignorant. They don't know the special meaning of the palace silver engraved with the words "Fu Lu Shou", but they can feel Liu Ke's kindness.
"Uncle, let me eat for you~"
A little girl stretched out her little hand, and there were a few dried plums in her hand. There was expectation and reluctance on her little face, which made Liu Ke happy.
Although he was obviously reluctant to part with him, he gave it to him generously. He was such a good boy.
He only took one, threw it into his mouth, rubbed the little girl's head with his hands and said with a smile: "It's so sweet! Good boy, you can eat it by yourself... Come on, let's continue eating barbecue!"
The old boy and a lot of little ones stared eagerly at Jia Cong, who was turning over the kebabs, doubling the pressure on him.
"It's not like you don't know about those relatives in my family. On such occasions, let alone having a full stomach, I would be thankful if I didn't get angry to death."
Liu Ke complained about the royal family banquet, followed Jia Cong's example, picked up a few skewers of meat, brushed the seasonings, turned and grilled...
"Not to mention, setting up a stall selling barbecue on the street is more interesting than sitting in the Huangji Palace and listening to those people talking nonsense. I will also come here tomorrow to sell barbecue. I wonder how much money should I sell the barbecued meat for? "
The stall owner who was helping skewer the meat at the back almost fell to his knees. This guy really thought about it.
It's scary enough to have the weird Marquis Yongfeng. If you come to sell barbecue, the sticks have to be made of gold!
Jia Cong ignored the second half of Liu Ke's sentence, but agreed with the first sentence.
The royal family banquet is even more boring than the banquet given by the emperor every festival.
Fengtian palace banquets often included official competitions. The royal family banquet was really... The old man ran away to the imperial mausoleum early in the morning. You can imagine how annoying the relatives of the old Liu family were.
"The overseas enfeoffment plan will be officially launched this year. Today in the palace, several people are complaining that the court has given them too little support, clamoring to ask Fourth Brother to send them more ships and people. Others are fine, The Yingchuan Palace actually wants Fourth Brother to seal their family to the Japanese Kingdom..."
Jia Cong raised his head in surprise, Japan?
Not to mention that the Japanese country has not yet been conquered. Even if it is conquered, it will be a place directly under the jurisdiction of the country, and vassals will be removed and counties will be established.
Did the Prince of Yingchuan have his head kicked by a donkey or was he pinched by a door? How dare he make this request?
Besides...
"I remember that the Yingchuan Palace did not pay a deposit to the court. His family was not included in the first batch of enfeoffment lists."
When he first made the plan to entrust overseas enfeoffment, Jia Cong deliberately kept a secret.
Every family that wanted to branch out overseas, whether they were royal family members or martial relatives, had to pay enough money to custom-purchase ocean-going warships built by the imperial court, recruit sailors, and form a fleet.
Otherwise, if you keep your mouth open, the court will have to pay to send them to sea, so why not compensate Dafa?
Old Thirteen curled his lips and cursed with disdain: "It's not Liu Zhi. Seeing that most of the old Liu family occupies good places and gets an advantage... This old guy relies on his father's generation and the lion's power. When he opened his mouth, Fourth Brother's face turned green with anger... You were not here today, so you didn't see the faces of those people..."
This is just relying on his seniority, otherwise Liu Ke would have to help Fourth Brother teach this old guy Liu Zhi a lesson.
Jia Cong could imagine the emperor's helplessness. The country governed the world with filial piety, and even the emperor could not avoid the word filial piety.
Liu Zhi, the prince of Yingchuan County, was several years older than the Supreme Emperor.
In terms of blood relationship, Liu Zhi is Taizong's nephew and cousin of the Supreme Emperor.
If such a person acts rogue, the emperor will not be able to do anything good to him.
However, there is no room for error in the enfeoffment. The islands of Japan are very important to the country. How can they be given to such people?
"What did your Majesty say in the end?" When Liu Ke heard this, he suddenly became happy.
He leaned close to Jia Cong's ear and whispered: "Speaking of this, the king has to praise Wen An's niece... This girl is amazing. In front of everyone, she refuted Liu Zhi and was speechless..."
……
Although the Supreme Emperor went to the Xishan Imperial Mausoleum, this year's royal family banquet was still held in the Huangji Hall.
In fact, Daiyu only came to the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the emperor, the queen mother, and others, and then planned to go back. However, the princess Zhang persuaded her to stay and help her arrange the palace banquet.
Of course, the palace banquet has its own eunuchs and Guanglu Temple in charge, so Zhang and Daiyu only need to look after Da Mian and are not too busy.
Daiyu, as a real princess ennobled by the emperor, second only to several eldest princesses, sat with the emperor's daughter, Princess Chun'er.
She was having fun with little girl Chun'er when she suddenly heard a bang from the direction of the person in charge of the palace...
"Nonsense! The matter of enfeoffing overseas countries has been planned for a long time. The DPRK and the Central Government have been busy with this for two whole years. Now they are changing it as soon as they say it. When you are in charge of the country and the DPRK, can you just play house and play? You go and ask the DPRK and the Central Committee. Minister, ask them if they would agree?"
Daiyu looked up and saw that the originally harmonious atmosphere of the palace banquet was gone in an instant. Several middle-aged men in python robes were sitting behind the tables dissatisfied and fearful, muttering softly.
Among them, an old man in the front row said almost roguely: "Your Majesty, the world's surname is Liu, and our old Liu family's own things are not yours to be granted to whomever you want? The land of the Japanese country, It’s better for me to ask the boss and the second child to look after His Majesty than letting someone with a foreign surname take care of it. It’s more reassuring..."
Daiyu's eyes widened, there are still such...shameless people in this world?
The emperor really wanted to drag this old man out of the palace regardless of seniority and filial piety, but with so many people watching, he had to worry about the impact.
"Uncle Wang, this world is not a world where one family has one surname. So I, the emperor, cannot make the decision on everything. The matter of enfeoffment is discussed by all officials. The cabinet is clearly for the world, how can it be changed overnight? The Japanese country will not divide it. Anyone...Uncle Wang should choose another place. For Uncle Wang's sake, I will think of a way to send more ships and manpower to Yingchuan Palace..."
Ordinarily, Liu Zhi should be content with the emperor's words.
But Liu Zhi had stayed in the outer vassal for a long time, and because of his seniority, he actually made another jaw-dropping request.
"Well, I heard someone say that there is a good place in the south of Borneo. It's called Australia. Can your Majesty grant this place to my family?"
Bang!
"Do you still want to show some respect? That has been decided by the Jia family a long time ago..."
"Thirteenth brother, shut up!"
The emperor's face was ashen and he scolded Liu Ke who couldn't help but burst out. Liu Ke directly said that his coal stove was not turned off and wanted to go home to take a look, so he turned and left the hall.
The atmosphere in the palace became even weirder after Liu Ke left, and everyone's eyes were focused on the emperor in his seat.
Australia is like a piece of fat meat, and many of the royal family members complained that the Jia family had received such a good fiefdom.
He, Jia Enhou, was really the son of the Supreme Emperor. Why did such a good place, so close to the Central Plains and so large, become the fiefdom of his Jia family.
"Prince Yingchuan, this junior has a question that I don't know whether to ask or not?"
A clear voice suddenly sounded in the palace, which stunned the emperor who was about to explode.
Liu Zhi looked at Daiyu who stood up and bowed down to him, a trace of disdain and contempt flashed at the corner of his mouth.
The Jia family and the Lin family may have a future by relying on the glory gained from selling their daughters!
"It turns out to be the famous Princess Wen'an... Little girl, as a daughter, it's better not to get involved in everything. Be careful that your future husband's family won't like her."
Daiyu did not show any anger. Instead, she arched her eyebrows, raised her head slightly, and replied with a confident smile: "I don't need to worry about this, my lord. My fiancé said that women should not give way to men, and this is what I want." If I were to be a female prime minister or a female general, he would hold the lamp and lead the horse for me, guarding the left and right! When my husband and I leave our names in history together, maybe we can still see the name of the prince in the corner of the literary words. After all, the prince asked today, " It will definitely be recorded in the "Daily Notes"..."
The pen in Qi Julang's hand, who was almost invisible, paused for a moment, and then he started writing quickly as if he hadn't heard the sentence.
"In the eleventh year of Yuanyou, on the second day of the first lunar month, there was a royal palace banquet. Princess Wen'an Lin wanted to imitate the Pingyang of the Tang Dynasty, and she wanted to imitate women and men... The prince of Yingchuan County was blushing and could not speak, and covered his face to hide his embarrassment... …”
snort!
Liu Zhi, who was embarrassed by Dai Yu, snorted coldly and rolled up his sleeves, unwilling to talk to her.
But I heard Daiyu continue to ask: "Your Majesty, I have a difficult question in my mind. Please give me some advice. At the beginning, the country planned to build overseas ships, and each family worked hard to pay money to the court to build a fleet... Now the two The year has passed, each company's fleet has been built, and the recruitment of personnel has come to an end, and they will set off after the year. I wonder if the Yingchuan Palace has built a sea-going ship? How many crew members have been recruited? "
This question completely made Liu Zhi, several of his children, grandchildren, and the royal family members blush with shame, and they didn't know how to answer.
His family has never paid a single copper. How could the Ministry of Industry build ships for the Prince of Yingchuan?
Not to mention recruiting sailors, that is something that every family just asks for with money, and the Ministry of War is too lazy to pay attention to it.
In the end, it was Jia Cong who became the middle man, and some people from the Navy were recruited as instructors to train their own sailors for each family.
Prince Yingchuan's Mansion... Anyway, in Daiyu's impression, there was no such number one person in the first list of feudal overseas families.
Liu Zhi was choked and his face turned black. His eldest son Liu Mang, who was sitting on his right, stared at Daiyu resentfully.
"You are so arrogant with your sharp teeth and sharp mouth! You have no tutor, I will teach you the rules today..."
Liu Mang narrowed his eyes, trying to scare Daiyu.
"Who told me that I lost my mother when I was a child?"
Daiyu covered her face and was about to cry, but secretly made a face to the little girl Chun'er beside her.
Soon, she smiled harmlessly at Prince Yingchuan Prince Liu Mang and said, "By the way, I was raised by my grandmother, Princess Rongjun, and my uncle Rongguo Gong. You have to teach me the rules. Let's first ask the younger generation's grandmother and uncle to see if my grandmother and uncle are willing to take advantage of others."
Ga~
Liu Mang's momentum suddenly weakened. Jia She Jia Enhou, damn, he forgot about this bastard in a fit of anger!
But I saw Daiyu walking into the palace, bowing to the emperor Yingying, and then bowing to the surrounding royal family members.
"Father, it is understandable that Prince Yingchuan, as the head of the royal family, wants a good fiefdom, but without rules, there is no rule. Whenever the royal family members of the country and the nobles of the martial arts decided to entrust overseas families, they all paid the money early and recruited sailors, Build a warship. If my father agrees to the request of the Yingchuan Palace, wouldn’t it be unfair to the family who previously paid money for this joint effort? "
With just this sentence, those who were watching the show suddenly became unhappy.
Before they went to the theater, they thought that if Liu Zhi, a fool, was causing trouble, they might be able to take advantage of the emperor.
But hearing what Daiyu said, if Liu Zhi succeeded, wouldn't the millions of taels of silver they paid before be in vain?
They are both members of the Liu clan, so why should he, Liu Zhi!
"Your Majesty, Princess Wen'an is right, there is no rule without rules! Uncle Wang's request is too unreasonable. Isn't this just a waste of time?"
