[Red House] Men's clothing

After the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, the imperial court began to seal the pen for annual leave. It was not until the eighteenth day of the first lunar month that it began to go to the Yamen. Except for urgent matters, there was no urgent matter. The Yamen is no longer on duty, but in recent years, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War are exceptions. The army is still outside. , the people in the Ministry of War began to take turns to rest, the Minister of the Ministry of War has been sitting in the town, the Ministry of Households prepared some food for the army early in the New Year, and also prepared a large amount of food and grass to supply the north. Compared with the Ministry of War, there is no such thing as a big Although he looks like an enemy, daily labor is unavoidable.

In addition to business affairs, Huangshang also sent the money they earned from the cooperation with the Ministry of Households over the past year. After Situ Yue had someone count it, he sent it to the national treasury for storage. The money is very considerable, and I believe that the coming year will be better , but there are a lot of people who think about this money. In the past, they relied on the nobles to wait for the money to go into the treasury and go to the household department to issue an IOU to borrow money. Now they still think about borrowing as usual.

Because there are still people in the household department during the Chinese New Year, some old nobles have found the chief of the household department on duty, and it is a big gift as soon as they make a move. They have to borrow some money from the national treasury as in previous years to make money.

Of course the servants on duty dare not make promises lightly, even if there is a prince interceding in the middle, they dare not spit it out. Everyone said that if there is an urgent need, go to King Rong. Without his handwriting and seal, no one would I want to withdraw a tael of silver from the treasury.

There really are those who think they have a big face, and invite King Beijing Jing to talk to Situ Yue.

Chengyue's wedding is in March, and some trivial matters have already begun to be prepared. On the day of the wedding, Situ Yue will accompany the six kings to toast the clan. Will and palace officials are rehearsing this.

Feng Gaoting was instructing Situ Yue how to pour wine and how to say auspicious words, when the guard informed that King Beijing Jing had come to the door.

"This king has no friendship with him?"

"The king of Beijing Jing has always been close to those who made great contributions to the founding of the country. Their ancestors were also people at that time. It is estimated that those people have something to ask, so they came to find the prince to explore the way."

"Mostly, I came to borrow money. When the new year comes, each family starts to compare. Naturally, they want to prepare more money for the New Year." These are the aides of the palace, and Situ Yue also needs some aides to handle the documents and draft some memorials. Yes, her knowledge is probably not as high as her nominal apprentice Lin Yu.

Situ Yue changed into his big clothes for meeting guests, and went to the main hall to meet King Jing of Beijing.Prince Jing of Beijing is a handsome man in terms of appearance, and now he has just lost his wife, and the old concubine is all over the capital looking for candidates for his successor. The movement is relatively loud, and Situ Yue, who doesn't care about the backyard, has heard about it.

"I didn't know Brother Shui was coming, but I couldn't meet him far away, please forgive me." Situ Yue was polite when they met, and didn't take it to heart, and said it extremely casually.

King Bei Jing was more casual than her, and stepped forward to hold Situ Yue's hand, "We are brothers to each other, why should we pay attention to this?"

Grabbing the grass, Situ Yue pulled out his hand. I am a fake foundation and a real foundation, and I will hold someone's hand as soon as I come up.

"Brother Shui doesn't come to my door often, what's up today?"

"It's nothing, I'm a friend who forgets about the year, and I want to invite someone to drink at home. I think we have always been in harmony, so I invite Brother Yue to go with me."

Situ Yue looked at him, picked up the tea and took a sip, "I'm entangled in a lot of things, I don't know where brother Shui is going to drink, no matter which one you go to, I will give you a word for the younger brother, now I have to pay the national treasury debt Money. A few days ago, Mr. Cao from the Ministry of War blocked the lobby of my household department, carrying a saber. If I didn’t agree to give him money to make arrows, he would be able to sit for a day. The treasury really has no money, I said. When he said this, Mr. Cao wanted to give me a knife. He saw that I was like a treacherous minister who wronged the country. I was the most wronged. Did I spend the money? No, since the king was born, he never borrowed from the treasury , the ancestors of this king have never embezzled the treasury for three generations."

In fact, Taizong wanted to embezzle it back then, but the treasury had no money. Later, he saved a small treasury, which was passed on to the emperor. The emperor was also very good at saving money. It is said that the private treasury is richer than the state treasury .

King Bei Jing smiled and wanted to speak, but Situ Yue cut off the conversation, "When will the prince return it? This king has seen that your family has to put 11 taels of silver in the treasury."

King Bei Jing looked embarrassed, and said he would go back to raise money, and left in a hurry, while the staff turned out from behind the screen.

"My lord, the King of Beijing will not pay back the money."

"This king knows that everyone hasn't paid it back, and he, who is wise and safe, will not be such a rafter. Besides, the Zhen family in Jiangnan owes the most money. If the Zhen family doesn't pay it back, other families won't pay it back."

Think about it in the outer city, one penny for a steamed bun, and two pennies can buy a vegetarian steamed stuffed bun or flatbread with honey.The common people went outside to chop a load of wood and sold it for ten yuan. Tens of millions of taels of silver can live for a lifetime for the people in the outer city, but they cannot let those who borrow money live for 50 years.

"When will Zhen Yingjia arrive?"

Qin Er replied, "I have arrived in Tongzhou, and I can enter the palace to meet the emperor tomorrow."

Situ Yue sneered, the emperor told Concubine Zhen about his debt collection, Concubine Zhen told the three kings, and the three kings hurriedly delivered a letter to Zhen Yingjia.Now the head of the Zhen family can't sit still anymore, and ran to the capital for the New Year's Eve, just wanting to cry to the emperor to complain about the hardships of life, and begging the emperor or the court to raise his hand and get rid of the debt. Try to procrastinate.As long as the Zhen family is still in Jiangnan, it will only take a few years to raise two or three million taels of silver. Jiangnan is rich, and the Zhen family has become a habit of scraping land. They will always have a way out of these millions of taels of silver.

"Send a message to the palace, I will invite the emperor to come out for a stroll tomorrow. In the summer, the emperor also said that he would take me to watch a cockfight. Now that the emperor has to be free, I will ask the emperor to take me to see and see." .”

Cheng Yu agreed and went to the palace to deliver the message.

In the early morning of the second day, Situ Yue wore a brand new blue cotton jacket with white fur around the neckline, a brocade belt around his waist, a purse, and a leather hair crown. He was waiting for the emperor at the gate of the imperial city.Waiting and waiting but no one came out, Situ Yue waited annoyed, and sat on the steps at the gate of the imperial city, basking in the sun and feeling warm.

After a long time, seeing that the sun was about to rise to the middle, he heard the emperor calling him behind him, "Jun Ming, get up quickly, a dignified nobleman, sitting on the ground is disrespectful."

Situ Yue stood up, turned around, and stared at Fang Yun behind the emperor in surprise, "Cousin, how is your face?"

"Cousin," Fang Yun shyly looked down upon being watched by Situ Yue, "It's just a secret technique of the rivers and lakes, it's called disguise technique."

Situ got closer and looked, his whole body was almost attached to Fang Yun's body, the emperor coughed a few times and he didn't hear it, the scar-like place on Fang Yun's face disappeared, replaced by a piece of smooth skin, carefully approached Look, it can be seen that it is different from the original skin.It turned out that he was very handsome.

"It's simply a sorcery. How did you do it? How did you learn it?" Situ Yue thought he had seen the world in his past and present lives. Except for sex and disguise in unreliable martial arts novels, in reality he was a single A person's very large scar-like skin cannot be covered by makeup, and it is almost undetectable when viewed at close range.

"I went to suppress the bandits a few months ago. I found them in their lair. They are made of silk. I use one mask at a time. After I use it up, I can't use it anymore. But I made a lot and hid it, cousin. Don't look at me like that."

"Are you going? If you don't go, I'm going." The emperor urged in front of him unhappily, and Situ Yue gave up studying Fang Yun's mask, and followed the emperor from the imperial city through the inner city to the outer city.

"Let's see why the game cocks go to the outer city, grandfather, can we also find a few game cocks to fight at home?"

The three of them were wandering in the street, and there were cries of hawking one after another. The people were now buying new year's goods. The outer city was very lively at the moment, and this kind of excitement would last for nearly a month. People are attracted from home, and they spend a few copper coins on the street to buy a few things, and the whole family enjoys shopping.

"You don't understand. At home, everyone gives way to me. It's no fun. Those chickens look mighty and domineering, but here you can see real fighting cocks. Once these fighting cocks are in the ring, they will die. stop."

Situ Yue listened to it as if he was listening to a scripture from heaven.

Seeing that she didn't understand, the emperor had no choice but to continue to educate him, "You guys don't know how to read more. There are records that cockfighting originated in the Spring and Autumn Period and flourished in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Do you know why Wang Bo was demoted?"

"I know, I know. Wang Bo, who wrote the Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion, has a famous sentence in it that seems to be the same color, and the one that flies together. Oh, the autumn water is the same color as the sky."

Walking on the road, the emperor couldn't help turning his head and giving Situ Yue a white look, "Tang Gaozong and Empress Wu had four sons, among them Li Xian and Li Xian loved cockfighting. At that time Wang Bo wrote an article about it, which was described by Tang Gaozong. He thought he was trying to provoke the two sons, so he assigned Wang Bo. I won’t say which article it was, I guess you haven’t read it.”

Fang Yun laughed at the side, and Situ became more annoyed and said, "What are you laughing at, have you read it?"

""The Essay on the King of Chickens"" Fang Yun said in a low voice.

Situ Yue deliberately didn't look at him, and leaned closer to the emperor, "Think about it, if Chengyue made any complaints because of cockfights and people, Uncle Six would definitely teach him a lesson, and then drive the people who wrote his complaints out of the palace .But, grandfather, is cockfighting really that fun?"

"You will find out after reading it later. The benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom. People with a peaceful mind will naturally not see this kind of fighting. If you are not calm, you can't wait for two chickens to fight until you lose both. Zigu, do you have any money?" ?”

Fang Yun took a step forward, "Bring it, it's all broken silver."

"Give some to your cousin too, let's place a bet."

The author has something to say: Li Xian is also called Li Zhe, but many people on the Internet call him Li Xian, and sometimes it is written as Li Zhe in history books.
