Chapter 114 The Wind
While I was thinking about it, the voices of Yingying Yanyan behind suddenly decreased. With the messy words of "Master Master is here." "Master Master is auspicious." I turned my head helplessly.
At first, the queen Longyu, unexpectedly, she was a respectful concubine with a look of respect. She had always been separated from the queen and seemed to have made progress. Youlan's slightly petite body was similar to Caizi, and she looked a bit like a sister. Looking at the harmonious appearance of the four girls, I felt relieved. The bad mood just now improved greatly. Although I smiled gently for the first time today, I turned to think about it. Such a peaceful mood and warm atmosphere have not been there for several months. Looking at Kou Lian next to me, I looked at the restrained girls and smiled and said, "Get up, let me have a meal with me at noon. Xiao Kouzi asked the kitchen to be sent to Xiangning Palace."
He was joking and then greeted the concubines. Longyu, who had just gotten up, looked brilliant and came forward and said, "Master, why not try the craftsmanship of Matsuhira today. I heard that she has made a new oriental dish today, so I'm so happy with the brilliance of Matsuhira."
"Oh?" I smiled and said, "Is it a rice ball? Or a sashimi? Well, or just a fried pork chop or a beef stew pot? You're all eating a trick, let's go. Then Kou Lian shouldn't send an order, just serve him."
Songping was busy preparing. Because Youlan had no identity, she also went to help. I sat with Concubine Longyu and Zhenpin, and there was a wordless thing to say. When talking about the new dish I made today, I heard Youlan talk about the opening of a Muhua Hefeng Restaurant in Zhuangyuan Hutong in the south of the city. The boss behind the scenes heard that he was a Japanese man, so he found someone from Tianjin to be the shopkeeper at the front desk. The name was filial. Muhua - admired China. The business was said to be very popular, and for a while, it became famous in the capital.
Although Ronglu is waiting for investigation in the Ministry of Justice, he has many relatives and friends in the court. His wife, the royal family, is the daughter of Linggui, and his remains are quite strong. Therefore, although the stroke of the court is said to be unfavorable to him, no one dares to bully them. So there are any new things in Beijing. Basically, the young Lan and her daughter know a little. Occasionally, Longyu will ask them to speak when he is bored. It will be heard from Matsuhira Ayako's ears.
It also aroused her interest in food in her hometown. Due to her status, she was unable to leave the palace, so she opened a small kitchen in Xiangning Palace and occasionally made it to entertain her. After a long time, she thought about how to compare and how to fully show her jealousy in the harem, which was a perfect achievement. I haven't been to the East Six Palace for a long time. It is rare to see Long Yu and Zhenpin in Xiangning Palace today.
When asked about Queen Gao Jing casually, Longyu replied that it seemed to be better than before, and he was preparing to run for the election. I looked at her vigilantly, thinking that there were more sisters in the palace that seemed to be unfavorable to unity, so I smiled and said, "Okay, I see that her temperament is quite sloppy." Longyu also smiled and didn't reply.
Princess Zhen was demoted and had a much more dull personality than before. She seemed to be afraid of me, so she said a few more gossips. Youlan had already brought a few plates and walked over, and for the first time she saw a sweet smile on her face. The previous sensational straight look disappeared, and today's smile could still see a hint of drunkenness.
It seems that this Ayako Matsuhira has a great ability to harmonious harem.
It turned out to be tempura. When I was attracted by a faint fragrance, I moved my eyes from the face of the young orchid who was smiling and smiling to the one she handed the plate to Kou Lian before putting it on the table, I couldn't help but smile. The Japanese came and went, just like that.
In comparison, it seems that the beauty is more delicious. I just donated it casually, so I asked Kou Lian to ask Caizi to have a meal together. Looking at the four girls sitting around, my heart moved. I smiled and said, "It's better to be like this in the harem. Queen, you're doing a good job. It's just like before. I'm going back to the inner palace every day. How bad is it? Matsuhira's tune has also been a contribution. Let's start tomorrow, and be promoted to the concubine and give him a beautiful title. Well, harmonious harmony, harmony among the tribes. That's how I can go back to the inner palace to have a happy mood and do national affairs without irritating my heart." Speaking of this, I looked at Youlan and said, "You are a mama, and you're doing well at home? You can go to the palace for a long time and have no trouble."
"Reply to the emperor's words. With the care of the empress and all the empresses, everything is fine. If you are here, the emperor will care for you." Youlan smiled and knelt down seriously. Matsuhira also knelt down to thank him. At this time, she raised her head and looked at me with a smile. Seeing me nodded, she helped Youlan up and said in a somewhat awkward Chinese: "Sister Youlan, come to the palace, be a companion for me. Your Majesty, I want to ask for grace." Then she smiled at me with a deep meaning, "In the future, Sister Youlan will come to the palace, so let me live with you. Your Majesty..."
I saw Youlan shook her body and buried her head lower and stopped talking. I laughed and said, "If Youlan is willing, what can I object to?" I clapped my hands and said, "I am very happy to see you like this today. Don't worry, Youlan, you will go back soon. Be a rich man. I will not treat him for your sake."
Youlan thanked her again. When she got up, she looked at her face again and returned to the slightly sad look in the past. I pointed at the remaining fried shrimps and said, "Kou Lian has just put this in a food box and asked Youlan to see Ronglu, just say it was given to him by me. Youlan, you can bring my original words to him, and he chooses the way himself."
"Is this called genius naked?" Longyu said a playful word next to him, "This name is so embarrassing. We are the Tian family, and our sisters are genius. The word "nude" is...", while he said, he covered his mouth with Zhenpin and laughed. It made me feel lustful and started a joke, "You are ignorant. This means that all the women in the Tian family are Luo Li. Look, aren't Hepin and Youlan both Luo Li?" As he said that, he got up a few steps forward, and put Caizi and Youlan in his arms with both hands and said, "You two are close, how happy I am."
"Your Majesty, what... is called Luo Li?" Youlan trembled and soft. She raised her head and asked me nervously with wide eyes. I could feel her body trembling constantly. She added force to her hands and tightly closed her and said casually: "Loli... is... this is the words of a foreigner, it means a noble lady." As she said that, she seemed to neglect the two women behind her, turned around and waved: "You two are also big Luo Li..."
Luo Li came to Luo Li. Although she did not achieve the purpose of ecstasy with Cai Zi and Luo Li at first, the harem, which seemed much more harmonious than before, also achieved the purpose of making me feel happy. In the afternoon, when Liu Guangdi and Kong Lingyi handed over the sign to meet, looking at the two of them tremblingly, I knew that Liu Guangdi was scared by my morning appearance.
I smiled and greeted them and sat down, "Kong Lingyi, you are Yansheng Gong. The recent series of "New Study Pseudo-Study and "Confucius Reform" in the China Times" are well written. You have a problem with this newspaper. Do you need to sign your writing? Is this your Kong Lingyi's work? I value it very much." Of course, I know that these two articles were written by Kang Liang, and I just used an excuse to give their newspapers advice. (It is true of historical facts, both books were published in 1891.)
"Reply to the emperor." Kong Lingyi's family's origins. When I heard my joke, the nervousness when I first came disappeared. Naturally, there was a sense of elegance: "It was the work of the two second-guess and Tanhualang in the current subject. I also felt quite flexible in literature and talent. Since the emperor had the order, I turned around and asked them to remember their signatures in the future."
"Not only do you need to sign a name, but you also need to give them an additional salary. In this way, you should give them double salary this year. Education is a big event, and since it is a talent, it will be of great use." I nodded and thought of "A Study on the Reform of Confucius" and said: "If the sage's intention is graceful, deep, broad, and great. Once the world changes, the way of governance changes, it starts with roughness and finally subtle. Education is great, and the family gives people enough, without the trouble of resentment, anger, difficulty of strength and weakness, and without the jealousy of thieves and jealousy. The people cultivate virtue and are beautiful, and they are trooped and robbed, poisonous snakes do not stung, fierce beasts do not fight, and they do not touch the insects, red grass grows, sweet springs come out, phoenixes and unicorns wander in the suburbs, the prisons are empty, and the people do not violate them. This is the system, use the excitement and sound to transform the people, and it is the end."
After drinking a sip of water, he continued, "Listen, isn't it too literary? Go back and look for someone to read in plain language. This thing is not for the scholars and officials to see. The people can understand it. In ancient times, even if the woodcutter and village women can understand the meaning, this can only educate people's hearts. Speaking of which, Kong Lingyi is the descendant of Confucius. It is very good to have such a magnanimity. I have read it wrong for you. This morning I was still sighing that there is no talent. You will send me two. Well, let you take care of this Ministry of Education and Culture. I really chose the right person."
Kong Lingyi thanked his kindness openly and smiled and said, "I heard from Brother Pei Cun that the emperor is going to see Master Weng?"
My face darkened and I sighed and said, "Yes. I, the older I am, the older I am..." I originally wanted to say that I was ignorant of the general idea, but after thinking about it, I smiled and changed my words, "The older I am, the more energetic it is. I will go and see his academy. Master Weng still wants to educate people."
Kong Lingyi was not old and was quick to see things. He swept his horse's sleeves and knelt down respectfully and said, "I beg the emperor to take back Cheng's life."
After I was in a good mood, I regretted the bad decision of the old man Weng in the morning when I was angry, so I planned to go through the motions. Now Kong Lingyi is here to do this step, which is exactly what I want, and I look at him with encouragement.
"The emperor is just a way to praise the second way of suppressing the emperor." Kong Lingyi continued to smile and replied, "Praise is probably not the emperor's original intention, but it increases his momentum. He also fears that the old man's words are inappropriate, which only increases the emperor's worries. Both are taught to the public and the ministers are in charge of education, so he has the responsibility to advise him. Therefore, he respectfully asks the emperor to take back his orders."
What I said makes sense. How will I do after I go? If I greet a few words against my will, or if I am angry and scolded me, I will tell them and use them for those who are interested. The ministers will either feel that the direction of reform is changing, or they will feel that I will kill all the old ministers, and people will become restrained. I guess everyone would rather be in a position and eat a place than do more. If you don’t do anything, you won’t be guilty. If you don’t do anything, you may not be a good thing.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but laugh and waved my hand and said, "You Yansheng Gong can speak. Liu Guangdi, you will choose someone to give advice. I have this experience, right? Why don't you tell me yourself?"
Liu Guangdi Haoran smiled and said, "I Lu Dun, after I took the responsibilities of the Ministry of Justice and the Qing government office, I seemed to be unable to speak. I only gave advice, but I could only cry and make excuses on the ground. I did not have the ability to turn the spring breeze and rain like Yan Shenggong, and it would only add trouble to Your Majesty." As he said, he joked with Kong Ling.
I laughed happily, shook the fan and said, "In a few days, it will be the day when the Empress Dowager and Prince Xian Chunxian are dead. If you leave, you can't come in vain. Let the monarch and ministers go out for a walk. A few days ago, I was thinking that the Ministry of Education and Chemical will take care of all the storytelling and singing opera troupes for me. These people are of great use in education. If the people like to listen to and read these things, you should think of ways to link the principles of loyalty to the emperor, patriotism, innovation and strength into the opera. This effect is not necessarily worse than printing thousands of newspapers." He turned around and told Kou Lian to prepare casual clothes for me, and he greeted the two of them, "You two will change your clothes, Kong Lingyi, go and call Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao."
The two of them went to change their clothes separately and made an appointment for a meeting. Liu Guangdi also had to arrange protection for plainclothes, and the other end of Zai Bing also had to arrange guards to explore the way first. For a moment, I was free.
Turning back to Xiangning Palace, several light bulbs had dissipated. Caizi smiled knowingly when she saw me coming, and snuggled softly in my arms. She nodded at the palace maids who were serving her. The girls immediately understood and took the door gently.
"Master, are you anxious?" Caizi put his hands on me, leaned back, and took me to the bed. This girl has developed a lot more than when she was a man of humanity. Her towering chest was rising and falling with her breathing, and her round face quickly turned red, making people feel like picking.
When I saw her in front of the bed, I pulled her upside down and lay on the bed. With a moan, my plump body was already greasy in my chest. I gently patted her pretty buttocks and said, "I have been in the palace for so long, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Think about it--" Caizi's reaction was extremely enthusiastic, and she met my gaze with an innocent smile. Then she seemed to think of something: "The emperor is too partial to me, I am afraid... the sisters are unhappy. Master, please take the Queen and Master Zhen to the place. And..."
"And what?" I smiled evilly and played with the huge double pill on her chest, saying, "You know the general idea. Don't forget that you are a concubine now. Besides, I am the emperor, so why bother to spoil you?"
"I want to follow my master out and open my eyes." Caizi's face suddenly turned red, and she buried her head in front of my chest and murmured: "But I want to... give birth to a prince for my master."
I was stunned, my alertness suddenly arose, my hands stopped moving, and my tone became colder: "Who taught you how to say this?"
"I should die, I should die." Caizi was obviously scared, knelt up, and lowered her head with panic on her face, "No one taught me, it was what I thought of. Master, please forgive me."
When I thought about it, I seemed to have overreacted. Recently, only a few women in the palace and Youlan were close to her. These women could not think of her as a first prince. I thought too much, so I squeezed out a smile and shook my head and said, "You are not guilty, forget it, I think too much, get up, change my clothes and go out of the palace with me."
Caizi changed her clothes aside, but I was thinking about some physical or psychological problems in Guangxu in history. After coming here, I didn’t seem to find any problems in this regard. I didn’t seem to have encountered any obstacles every night. It was just over the past year that no concubine was pregnant. It seemed that the obvious problem was with me. Recently, I have been to spend the night with a concubine almost every day, but I never left a clue...
Thinking of this layer, I couldn't help but gasp. If I don't know, I can't have children, right? If this problem is not solved, the country's chaos will be the end!
He shook his head and smiled bitterly. This should be taken as a matter. He went back to the Imperial Hospital to find some related books to see if there is any solution.
Liu Guangdi and others had been waiting in front of Xihua Gate. When I saw me coming out with Caizi, who was dressed as a little book boy, my face showed a surprised expression. I smiled and said, "This is Caihe, my book boy from Erye Huang, let's go." Caihe, Caihe.
A group of about ten people walked out of the palace. I shook the fan and talked to them all over the place. The two newcomers Kang Liang disappeared. Both of them were very eloquent. They talked about Confucianism with Kong Lingyi, which made me listen with relish and soon became very far away from the palace.
The weather was a little hot, and my fan was very diligent. Seeing this, Kang Youwei asked: "Second Master, should we hire two sedan chairs to find a house to hire a house?"
I nodded and said, "It's true, Xiaokang, you can look for it in front of you, and just say... to Muhua and Feng. I... should change my taste." He turned to Liang Qichao and asked, "I heard that Xiaokang is your master?"
"Return to the emperor... what the second master said is that he studied in Master Kang's cottage this year, and he was blessed by God, and he became prosperous all of a sudden." There were many people on the road, and Liang Qichao's words were obscure, but I still understood that he just became a disciple of Kang Youwei this year, and he was lucky and passed the exam.
I checked his papers from the school department, and he was considerate to be the only one who had the new test questions. He was more thorough in the analysis of the success or failure of Egypt and Japan's reforms, so he added a lot of points, and he suddenly surpassed his teacher Kang Youwei.
I nodded and praised. Kang Youwei also called a few big trucks at this time. The bar house was doing well in the hot weather, and the sedan was rented out. In comparison, the big truck was a little worse because it was expensive and the passenger capacity was loaded.
It was a big cart, so I asked Kong Lingyi and Kang Liang to take one, and I asked Liu Guangdi to get on my car, and I also asked for a plainclothes on the other side, and there were several horses hanging from afar.
"Old Liu, don't be restrained." I smiled and said, "Today you follow me and try Japanese dishes."
"I dare not." Liu Guangdi said in panic: "This car is from the Ministry of Justice. If the emperor calls me like this, I will be punished by death."
"Oh? Have you arranged it well? I heard you are from Sichuan?" I shook the fan and said.
"Reply to the emperor's words, my ancestral home is Fujian, and my ancestors filled in Sichuan Fushun at the beginning of this dynasty." Liu Guangdi replied respectfully. I knew it was difficult to make him lively in front of me, and I was too lazy to let him relax. He nodded and asked, "At the beginning of the dynasty? Hu Guang filled in Sichuan?"
Liu Guangdi nodded.
My face couldn't help but dark, and the fan stopped, and sighed, "Sichuan people are miserable. This is not only the evil committed by the Eight Great Kings in the late Ming Dynasty, but also the Manchus in our dynasty are not clear. But don't tell Shanqi that this is his ancestor. Haha." He joked, "This is a tragic matter, and it is also a crime. I always think that one day I will redeem this sin. When you have a light work day, I will let you return home in glory and do something for me."
"The emperor wants to build a temple and erect a monument?" Liu Guangdi asked with a sob.
I nodded and said, "Yes, of course, the sins of our ancestors will fall on me. I want to build more monuments of atonement in Sichuan and Jiangsu, but I am afraid of adding to the burden on the people. You are also in the Qing government office, so I feel more at ease to give you the responsibilities. At least you will not be greedy for the hard-earned money of the people. If I give you ten, you will use tens to erect the monument. If you change to other unscrupulous officials, it would be good not to greed for you."
"I'm afraid I'll eat six points." Liu Guangdi felt better when he heard me laughing. He wiped his eyes and replied, "Your Majesty, it's better to start with public opinion first, and it's not appropriate for me to do this."
I realized that he was a Han minister, and it was indeed not suitable. I nodded and said, "That's right. It seems that I can only wait for my southern tour in the future and build a monument of atonement. I will still have to kowtow in front of the monument when I look back."
"Emperor!" Liu Guangdi trembled, and he slid down from his seat and knelt in the carriage and said, "The emperor kneels down to redeem it, there has been no exception in ancient times..."
I smiled and didn't say anything. His reaction was as expected. When I did this, the Han ministers who valued etiquette and law would probably be the first to refuse to agree. Everything can be unreasonable and not rude. Looking back, a few trustworthy people should study how to do this atonement.
After a while, Mu Hua and the Wind arrived. A powerful wooden building appeared in front of you. The huge Japanese-style banners and lanterns in front of the door, and the braids on the head of a boy wearing a kimono at the door blew a gust of wind to the front of the car.
Looking at Caizi again, she was already excited.
Chapter completed!
