Clam Pearl

As soon as the five drums sounded, Emperor Tiancheng ascended to court and sat in court. He stayed up half the night last night and finally finished reviewing all the accumulated memorials. There is no sign of fatigue, and he is still full of energy, sitting majestically like an emperor.

The day before yesterday, a woman brought her family's children to beat the Dengwen drum, suing her family uncle and the local parents' officials for encroaching on her dowry property and murdering her.Now the woman's lawsuit is over, but it's a pity that the [-] boards won by the people and the officials cost the woman's life.Now there is only one ignorant urchin left alone, so desolate.In this way, it turned out to be the wishes of those clansmen, even though the dowry of Pan Shi's property belonged to this boy, but now those vicious clansmen are in charge of this boy.

Nowadays, there are many rules and regulations for the family name. Anyone who has disputes among the people and complains, most of them cannot get through with the officials, and the elders of the clan will mediate and resolve them privately.

In this way, Emperor Tiancheng felt somewhat unhappy, it was good not to know about this matter, but now he knows.Therefore, he didn't know where he was being held, so he wanted to figure out what was on his mind, thinking that no matter what, he couldn't do what those black hearts and black lungs meant.

Emperor Tian Cheng, who was thinking about his heart, looked up and down, thinking that someone's family would have no children and grandchildren, so why not make an order for the other party to adopt him, wouldn't everyone be happy?As a result, after looking around for a few times, he felt that there were not many good ones, so he became more and more depressed.

Now this court ranks in the third class, the nine ministers and six ministries, and there are countless ministers. The one who is not red-faced, opens his mouth and shuts his mouth, but is worried about the country and the people, but it happens that a civil woman's private property lawsuit is blocked everywhere, and he can leapfrog. Come and beat his Dengwen drum.It can be seen how far the officials of the court and the people are now!

Unhappy in his heart, on the surface Tian Chengdi didn't bring any of it, but silently read a cloth rope of an amulet with his hand. This amulet was originally asked by Ah Run in the temple, and he threw it aside after asking for it.That day he was tossing around at home with nothing to do, but it was turned out. When he saw his birth date on it, he happily put it on his wrist, and he never left his hand even in the shower.

After the officials knelt down and worshiped, it was time for them to leave the court without incident.

Knowing that there was something on their minds in the past few days, the officials did not dare to make trouble, but Zhuang Chengxiu, the censor of the Inspectorate, wrote a book about the recent folk marriage of daughters, and the extravagant dowry. There are many women, and there are many women who marry in the city. This is a common practice. However, today, when the world is stable, this extravagant trend has risen again. Due to the sudden changes in the wind, the price of goods in the city is very high, and there are countless women who marry with thousands of pens. Now when you marry a wife, you only look at the dowry and don’t look at the virtues. There are even poor folks who can’t afford the dowry, and often drown their newborn girls. I have heard that in the ponds in the suburbs of Beijing, you can see three or two drowned girls every day. in it..."

The country originally had a small population, and it was time to vigorously reward more children. Now that there is such a shocking thing about the dowry, the ministers are talking about it for a while.During the conversation, several ministers also met and gave some examples.

"I remember that the Shi family who knocked on the Wengu the day before yesterday was because of a large dowry. After her husband died, the family invaded and poisoned her family's nanny to file a lawsuit." Emperor Tian Cheng suddenly spoke on the throne. , the minister who was discussing in the underground suddenly stopped talking.

Emperor Tiancheng waited until everyone was serious and quiet, before continuing slowly: "That is, the property was brought by Mrs. Shi, so it is naturally her own. Her husband died, and naturally what the family asked for should be his own. It is unreasonable to encroach on the dowry. I remember that there was such a case in the previous dynasty..." At this point, Emperor Tianshou thought for a while, and then said to Sun Xi who was standing aside: "After going down , go to the back file, search for Tianshou for two years, and give Zhuang Qing the Civil Litigation Book No. 17 in the blue file, which can be used as a reference."

Sun Xing hurriedly agreed.

Emperor Tian Cheng glanced at the ministers and said: "In the world, the harmony of yin and yang is a beautiful thing, but it is a pity against the heavens to touch the living beings because of the outside. Since those people have money and extravagance, in the future, everyone who spends more than five hundred In general, it is better to collect tax rates as appropriate. I think those people don’t care about these. If they collect this money, they don’t need to be charged to the national treasury. Don't be afraid, the emperor breaks the law and commits the same crime as the common people. I will have a daughter in the future, and I will pay this tax when I marry..." Everyone knows that he is a monk who will not enter the harem, and it is still unknown whether there will be a princess.

As soon as Emperor Tiancheng's words fell, the palace was like boiling water. Most of the courtiers had rich household registrations, and this tax would affect their own interests.

Seeing the courtiers jumping up to object one by one, Emperor Tian Cheng didn't say anything, he just took the papers on the case and read them, he was neither angry nor angry, he didn't speak, just waited and let them quarrel.He has been like this for the past few years, you make troubles on your own, I will not say much, I am free and have plenty of time.Anyway, I'm sitting here, so if you don't get tired of standing, continue to make trouble!

If you make trouble for one day, I will accompany you for one day; if you make trouble for two days, I will accompany you for two days.I don't eat, I'll accompany you, if you're hungry, Sun Xi will serve tea, and I'll serve tea and noodles on the bar. However, I can do this, but you can't!If you have strength, you just make trouble, and you are not allowed to go home when you are hungry, and you can go back after you make it clear. You say you, anyway, I have my plan, and I will not... give in.

The courtiers made a fuss for a while, and finally calmed down one by one, looking at the Emperor Tianshou with longing eyes.

Seeing that the ministers were quiet, Emperor Tiancheng looked at Sun Xi beside him and waved his hand.Sun Xi bowed in response, took a roll of memorial from a table on one side, and began to read aloud to the officials: "Chen Wukang County, Yulin Prefecture Li Gonglu nodded: Your Majesty has been good at administering moral government since he ascended the throne, and his art is as good as it is. The way of ability, follow the way of the sages and virtues, and do things that benefit the world. Spread the grace and spread the virtues all over the world. Your Majesty sympathizes with Yuan Yuan. Although the people are stupid, you can know. Although the minister is humble, I also cherish it for the common people. Holy virtue, the people of our state don't cry, thinking that the virtue of the holy son of heaven! My emperor has inherited the lineage, and the rules are thrifty, and he doesn't hold his heart...

A memorial from Li Gonglu, the magistrate of Yulin Prefecture in Wukang County, was suddenly read out so clearly in the court hall. Li Gonglu used hundreds of words of praise to praise Jinshang, comparing Jinshang to a sage, compared to To be the real Son of Heaven is to be compared to the first emperor of Ming Dynasty through the ages.

Since Tiancheng Emperor Zhao Chunrun came to the throne, his style is completely different from that of his father and brother.What he taboos the most is this kind of illusory and unrealistic style.He has always done things in a simple and clear way, and he never listens to such excuses as, because, I have heard recently, so, therefore, and the husband, however.Naturally, his handling of court affairs is also so simple, neat, and clear, with a style of advocating truth and pragmatism in the whole court, there is no way, His Majesty is too patient.

Now that something he didn't like was suddenly read out, what happened today?Is it possible to change the style again?

At the end of the memorial, Li Gonglu said: "...the 30 households who moved to Honshu previously entered the country a month ago, and the imperial court gave them ten pieces of comfort silver to each household, and a total of [-] yuan has been distributed on a household basis. The poor rely on it for their lives, the poor rely on it for their lives, and tens of thousands of people have already settled down.

The relocation is safe, the people of the state are not disturbed, and the market is orderly, which is caused by His Majesty Longde.The residents of the relocated state are grateful for His Majesty's grace, and hereby write a letter from Wanmin to thank His Majesty.There are wealthy households in the city who have a big surname and asked me to ask your majesty to allow them to invest in the establishment of a temple in the state city to pray for your majesty's blessings. Some people in the state have asked to build a shrine at home for your majesty. Although this is not in line with the ancestral system, it is also Yuanyuan's kindness , only His Majesty's holy order.Minister Lu Dun bowed his head again. "

After Sun Xi finished reading, he stepped aside.

Emperor Tian Cheng looked at the courtiers with a smile. For a while, the ministers were puzzled and didn't know what to do, so they all pretended to be dumb and didn't say much.

After looking around, Emperor Tiancheng read out a name slowly and said: "Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials... Gaicheng."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was wandering in the sky, stood up quickly, knelt on the ground and said: "The minister is here."

Then Emperor Tiancheng said the names of several officials one by one. After they knelt down, Emperor Tiancheng came: "Someone wants to build a ancestral temple for me. Your family said, do you want it or not?" ?”

I don't understand what His Majesty is thinking, so no one below dares to answer.

"I remember that in April of the second year of Tiancheng, there was a civil disturbance in Yongzong County. You should be able to find the post newspapers at the homes of the nobles at that time. Although the civil disturbance was not large that year, it only had a scale of 5000 people. General Jianyi led After the soldiers were pacified, the root cause of the incident was that Ukang Yulin Dingmin passed by and had no food to feed themselves. That is... it was Yulin Dingmin, so where did Li Gonglu's so-called [-] Dingmin come from? Then, it should be twenty-six thousand Ding.

What's more, since I ascended the throne, I have often turned over the old records, so as not to delay political affairs due to my incompetence. Now I still remember that at the end of last year, I once turned to a bottom book and wrote, Seven years granted by heaven, Ukang Yulin Dingmin Moved to the capital county in the south of Yuzhou, there was a big flood, and none of the Ding people survived.In this way, there should be [-] migrants in Yulin.

Since the relocation, there have been more than [-] registered residents in Yulin County, and this number is not counted. Considering that most of the residents in various places have suffered losses due to man-made accidents in their fields and houses, and those who cannot return home, they can use discretion Comfortable and considerate.In the comfort silver, it is still distributed according to [-] Ding.Originally, Ding Min was not allowed to return to his hometown, which had damaged the peace of heaven. Every time I thought about it, I was really in trouble, and I could only recite a few more volumes of scriptures every night to help me save myself..."

All the ministers at the bottom suddenly knelt together and said together: "The minister is dead!"

Emperor Tian Cheng let out a sneer: "Why are you going to die again? You come to me every day to call Wan Shi, since I ascend the throne, you have heard too much about Wan Death, let's all live well, eat and drink , shouting Wanshi every day, and not... If Wanshi can solve the problem, then I will accompany you Wanshi!"

There was another burst of death underneath.

I ignored him today, and just said to those kneeling in front: "Then Li Gonglu became an official in Enke in the 17th year of Tianshou, and he was selected as No. 5 in Jiaxuan. I remember that year, he was Gaicheng's teacher. Later... ...How many of you commented during the school examination, all of you are top-notch and top-notch." Speaking of this, Admiral Jin threw the memorial in front of Gai Cheng with a "snap", and softly snorted and said : "Even if he was your student back then, and he married your niece, that person... I will return it to Qing to handle! Since you guys said he was excellent, then he will return it to you , I am only asking you a question, how did Li Gonglu get the best in the four and eight methods?"

Na Gaicheng was already the elder of the three dynasties, and now he was so humiliated that he almost died of shame for a while.

Emperor Tian Cheng didn't look at him, but just looked down and said: "Ever since I got this position, I feel that everything is unsatisfactory. I am a person of pure cultivation, and I have long since broken off the world, but the emperor also said it when he took me. Consolation Wanmin is also practicing, so I will come back.

Although 30 guan is not a lot, it is also extracted from the teeth of the common people in the dawn of the world. It is saved from my daily necessities. Ten guan is not enough to solve the problem of Ukang Dingmin, so I call this expenditure as a consolation Zhiyin, now, the people are not comforted, but there is a strange thing about the dead taking money.If my imperial brother is here, I don't need much, I'm afraid I have to move a few of my big heads up today! "

Na Gaicheng didn't speak, just covered his face with his sleeve.

Emperor Tian Cheng's smile was still light and calm, he was naturally good, sitting there, his face was as bright as jade, and his voice was so gentle, but the words he uttered were bloody and cautious. Panicked: "What's wrong with this day? I didn't hit your court sticks, and I didn't cut you out in spite of your face. I just asked you to bring someone back for questioning. Why are you so ashamed?

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid!You tell Li Gonglu that I will not kill him or beat him, maybe there is a misunderstanding...if it is not a misunderstanding?Then, if I get one more share, I will move to another house, and if I get ten more copies, I will move ten heads to his house!I have always been lenient, so let's just give Gai Aiqing another favor, there is no distinction between male and female, old and young, one counts as one!His family's family has been moved, and his relative's family has been moved, and the clan's family has been moved, and the cousin's family has been moved, and the nine clans have been moved... Then I will move to his ten clans! "

Having said that, Emperor Tian Cheng stood up and flicked his sleeves and said, "It's gone!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left...

The Buddhist incense of Qiyuan Palace floated around the palace gates one by one. Since he ascended the throne and his wives and concubines from Prince Yi's Mansion moved to the palace, everyone has a new hobby. In every palace, A place to burn incense and worship Buddha has been added.Therefore, there is no fragrance of flowers in the palace today, but only the fragrance of Buddha.

Emperor Tiancheng sat in his chariot, slightly closed his eyes and rested his mind. When his car drove past the Chaohua Palace where Empress Hu lived, Empress Hu and his concubines all dressed up and crouched in front of the palace gate Kneel to send.

Since she ascended the throne, Empress Hu has been like this every day, leading people to kneel down to welcome Emperor Tiancheng to the court, and kneel to send Emperor Tiancheng to the court.

After Zhao Chunrun married his queen, he didn't talk much. Originally, when he was young, he also had love and wanted to cherish his first wife.But who knows, it's this woman who should be with her for the rest of her life, but she has long loved her senior brother in her heart.

I don't know what Hu Ji, who is now an official, was thinking in his heart back then?In short, these two were still naive back then, and they both had wayward children, so they were dragged together like this.

Zhao Chunrun has never mentioned many things to anyone, just like he and Queen Hu, he has never been close to her for so many years.Back then, he had his own pride, and he was rather proud of being looked down upon like that, so he has always been angry with the princess.

But who knew, that woman suddenly became pregnant?Back then, before his sword was drawn from its scabbard, the reward from the palace had arrived...

When Empress Hu was pregnant with her first child, his imperial brother sent all kinds of beauties to his palace as compensation one after another.When Empress Hu was pregnant with her second child, Brother Huang secretly ordered someone to send him to Biluo Mountain.

In Zhao Chunrun's heart, there is a place that can never be touched.That is, all the people who are related to Brother Huang, what Brother Huang loves and admires must be what he hates.Like this harem.Just like the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials in today's dynasty.

He couldn't even look at these dirty things, and he couldn't even hear their names.Now he can't kill anyone, just like what the master said, what his former master said.

Don't fight, don't grab, don't complain...you have to learn to endure.

That's right, I don't complain, and I don't kill you, I put you here!I... boil you to death!

Well, Ah Zhao loves rotten beef soup the most, so he ordered them to make some at night, and boiled a pot of fruit wine made by himself... If he didn't want to drink it, I coaxed him to eat a few cups, and Ah Zhao drank it. Wine, can sing the kind of lewd songs that you love me, I love you, higher than the moon. Although those songs are vulgar, they still sound quite wild...

Yu Jia passed by, Empress Hu was slowly lifted up, she didn't look at anyone, she just held the demeanor that her empress should have, and was supported by the palace people with a numb face, surrounded by her, she turned and entered Chaohua Palace.A ray of light flashed by, reflecting slightly the silver strands behind her temples.When she returned to the inner hall, the people from the Liberty Palace helped her arrange the unwritten blank scriptures neatly and said, "I want to report to your empress, today His Majesty is going to copy and wash twenty volumes of the Heart Sutra. This is your... "

With the sound of the palace door closing, His Majesty went down to his place of cultivation.Therefore, everyone in the palace knew that His Majesty would never come out again today.

Ah Run washed off his exhaustion, and slowly strolled through the secret passage to his and Ah Zhao's garden.He searched around the house, but Azhao was not there, and Xinzi, who had been waiting there for a long time, said, Master Qi was in the back garden.

Along the veranda, Ah Run came to the back garden again. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw Ah Zhao barefoot, with his trousers rolled up high, showing a pair of tender white legs, and standing in the flower bed with his hands covered in mud what to dig.

Ah Run didn't feel dirty, so he took off his shoes and socks casually, went into the flower garden and hugged Ah Zhao, buried his head in his neck and stopped moving.

Gu Zhao had seen this unhappy person a long time ago, so he didn't know who provoked him today.So he chuckled a few times and asked him, "Are you back?"

Ah Run chuckled: "Well, the person is back, but the soul is still angry in the front hall!"

Gu Zhao nodded and continued to dig the mud with the shovel.

"You don't even ask me!" Ah Run felt aggrieved.

Gu Zhao chuckled lightly: "There's something unsatisfactory at home, why should I make things difficult for myself, come on, what are you doing down here when you're muddy and sloppy? Go out and wash up quickly, my sister-in-law sent a big pot of stewed meat, then The meat soup is rotten, it’s ready for dinner, let’s eat it quickly, last night I stayed up late reading idle books, I want to go to bed early today...ah...hey..."

Before he finished speaking, his body was suddenly hugged by Ah Run. Gu Zhao was so angry and anxious that he had to wipe the dirt on Ah Run's face with his backhand!
