[Rat cat] Long live the emperor

After the morning court, Zhao Zhen discussed matters with several ministers, and left lunch because it was too late.

Although Zhao Zhen traveled through ancient times to be an emperor, the theory that everyone is equal is still deeply ingrained in his mind.

Occasionally invite ministers to dinner to connect with each other, give everyone a share of good things, greet someone who has a red and white event, and nod with a smiling face when they meet face to face... These small habits are the basic etiquette of the modern workplace. It is very strange.

Anyone can be approachable once, but it is not easy to be approachable all the time.

Before Zhao Zhen knew it, his good reputation as a virtuous and corporal had spread widely, and even the most picky historians felt sincerely that the emperor was a good and easy-going emperor, although his personality was out of character, and even though he had big and small problems, his flaws were not hidden. .

The emperor is the ruler of the whole country. It is already very good to be sensible, accept advice, be responsible, broad-minded, and know people well.

The Son of Heaven is a man or not a god, and a man will have flaws, as long as they are not fatal flaws.

For example, the first emperor, when he was young, also worked hard to govern and was extremely intelligent, but he was too emotional, and his reason was even affected by emotion.

Emphasis on emotion is an advantage for ordinary people, but it is a fatal disadvantage for emperors.

Zhao Zhen was a celebrity in her previous life, and she was the best at observing words and moods to adjust the atmosphere. The guests and hosts had a great lunch, and everyone was very satisfied.

Civil servants don't compete with generals, and if they want to be above the third rank, they have to stay up to 50 years old in terms of seniority.The ancients got married very early, and at the age of 50, they were already grandparents. The grandchildren in the family were all older than Zhao Zhen. Every time they got along with Zhao Zhen, all the ministers felt a love-hate relationship.

——Love Zhao Zhen's intelligence and understanding, hate that his children and grandchildren are not as good as others, and eat rice for nothing for so many years!

After lunch, Zhao Zhen ordered people to serve tea, "This is the scented tea I made myself. Although it is not a famous product, it has some effects of clearing away heat and eliminating fire. Everyone will take some home and taste it later. All the adults are the king of the country. Dongliang, remember to take care of your health, if you live a hundred years, you will be loyal to the country."

Tsk tsk, you can really talk...

Knowing that the emperor was just saying a few polite words, the ministers still felt comfortable all over their bodies, their faces flushed as if they had drunk fine nectar.

This is the tea made by the emperor himself!Tea scum is a priceless treasure, it's worth taking it out to show off!

Zhao Zhen led the crowd to chat, and somehow turned to the living Buddha, "Where is the living Buddha in the eastern suburbs?"

An old minister with white hair and beard said: "When I was as old as the emperor, there was also a living Buddha who responded to every request near my hometown. It caused a great commotion in the county, and many people paid homage to it. Burn down the temple."

Not only Zhao Zhen heard of it for the first time, but also the ministers present heard it for the first time. Everyone looked at the old minister, "And then?"

The old minister smiled and shook his head, "What else? Then, the county magistrate died not long after. Everyone said that he would be punished for blaspheming the Buddha. The imperial court sent imperial envoys to investigate, but they didn't find Chou Yinmao after all. It's over."

Zhao Zhen asked, "Then why did the county magistrate burn down the temple?"

The old minister shook his head, "I really can't remember what happened 60 years ago."

After listening to the old minister's narration, everyone felt unsatisfied, Zhao Zhen rubbed his chin, "Yesterday I heard someone say that the living Buddha can guarantee the official fortune and promotion, and I am very unhappy to hear that. What do you want the bureaucrats to do? Although I don't believe it, it's almost the end of the year for the performance appraisal, if something bad comes out..."

Wang Zhiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, broke out in a cold sweat.

He is also considered to be unlucky in the past. The last time his brother-in-law caused a big disaster, Mr. Wang was always worried.After all, the incident was calm, and the incident of the Living Buddha happened again.

It stands to reason that praying to gods and worshiping Buddha is not under the control of the officials, but there is a recent rumor in the city that living Buddhas can ask for officials, as long as they can afford the money, promotion and fortune are just around the corner! ——Official officials who were slapped in the face by rumors, from ministers to guards, all felt pain in the face.

Seeing that Wang Zhiyuan was sweating profusely, Zhao Zhen comforted him: "Master Wang, don't be nervous, I don't believe this. It's just that liars in the world have two mouths, he is the one who is lucky, and he is the one who is evil. If the living Buddha can ask for an official], when the official is appointed or dismissed, there will be believers standing up and boasting [the living Buddha has boundless magic power], and then it will be even more difficult to explain..."

Everyone showed a look of sudden realization.

Zhao Zhen said helplessly: "Liars can always find an excuse to muddle through. This matter is related to the state system and cannot be sloppy."

Some people say that the Mayans predicted that December 2012, 12 will be the end of the world. It was originally just a false misrepresentation, but what happened? In the early morning of the 21nd, how many organizations popped up all over the world claiming that the XX god we believe in saved the world , we ended the end of the world.

Wang Zhiyuan couldn't figure out what Zhao Zhen meant, so he could only bow his head and say, "The emperor has far-sighted plans."

Zhao Zhen walked down the steps to help him up, how could Wang Zhiyuan dare to let Zhao Zhen help him, besides, Zhao Zhen's strength could not help him.Wang Zhiyuan stood up with strength, and said with shame on his face: "The emperor is so sympathetic to the ministers, the ministers only hate that they have limited talents and learning, and cannot share the emperor's worries and problems."

Zhao Zhen tilted his head and smiled and said, "Master Wang is too self-effacing, I just need to ask Mr. Wang for something. Please go back and appease and restrain the officials, do what you should do, and don't do what you shouldn't do. Although rumors are more violent than Tiger, people should not be manipulated by rumors, I can trust you!"

Wang Zhiyuan bowed his head and thanked with tears in his eyes.

*************

Ever since the old story was brought up again last time, and the good-tempered Zhan cat was irritated, Bai Wuye's life has been completely plunged into dire straits, and he has experienced all kinds of sweet tortures.Bai Wuye said sincerely: "Cat, you didn't teach Zhao Zhen martial arts well, and Zhao Zhen taught you badly, and you can already be a teacher..."

——That's why it is easy to learn bad and difficult to learn good. The ancients never deceived me!

Zhan Zhao likes food, and Bai Yutang has to share everything he eats. At the beginning, Bai Wuye was very happy, but after eating, he found that his stomach capacity was insufficient... Zhan Zhao is definitely not an ordinary foodie!That is the God of Cookery who can eat from the street to the end of the street!

Bai Yutang surrendered halfway through eating, "Cat, it's too bad, I'll throw up if I eat again..."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his stomach which was only [-]% full, and wandered in front of the fruit stand with great interest—buying a piece of fruit would make him [-]% full~

Bai Yutang teased him, "Cat, share a peach."

Zhan Zhao squinted at him, "Aren't you too hungry?"

Bai Yutang said seriously: "If you share the peaches, you will eat them even if you die!"

Zhan Zhao was very dull, one of them finished half of the peaches and didn't understand—(=￣ω￣=) What happened to the peaches?

To stay in the hotel at the top, Bai Yutang asked to live with Zhan Zhao on the grounds that 'money is tight'.Because 'money is tight', there is naturally no extra bed, Bai Yutang praised his wit, Zhan Zhao thought of Bai Yutang's bag full of bank notes, and his mood was very complicated...

For Bai Wuye, sleeping with a cat in his arms is very happy, but being woken up by a cat early in the morning is very unhappy.

Bai Yutang was woken up by Zhan Zhao in his sleep, and when he opened his eyes, his bright smiling face was right in front of him—"Xiaobai, let's do morning exercises together~"

Morning exercise?

Those two unfamiliar words...

Bai Yutang blinked slowly, and the life dictionary was refreshed again.

╯ (╯ ▽ ╰) ╭

Waking up early was not without its benefits. Using Bai Yutang's late sleep time, the two arrived a day earlier than expected.

Bai Yutang asked people to prepare a boat to go to Sunken Island, and Zhan Zhao saw the crowds in the distance, so he asked casually, "What are you doing up front?"

The shopkeeper of the empty island smiled and said: "Worshiping the Living Buddha, the Living Buddha responds to every request. The fishermen come to worship after starting work, and they can return with a full load of fishing. I heard that the Living Buddha can also seek marriage, cure all diseases, and prevent evil spirits from invading... The shopkeeper stopped and thought for a while, "What else is there?"

Zhan Zhao laughed, "How can there be such an almighty Buddha, he must be a liar."

The shopkeeper waved his hand, "It's not a real person, it's just a stone Buddha statue. It looks very strange, and it's different from the Buddha statues in the temple."

Bai Yutang wondered, "There is such a thing? Why didn't I know about it?"

The little shopkeeper grinned happily, "Fifth Lord, how long has it been since you came back. The Living Buddha only appeared two months ago, and it wasn't there the night before, but it stood there the next morning, and it scared everyone ..."

Zhan Zhao said, "Why didn't you move it away?"

The little shopkeeper said: "At first I wanted to move it away, but it was so heavy that a dozen young men couldn't lift it, so I just let it go. This month, it suddenly came out that the Living Buddha would respond to every request, especially for the nearby fishermen. Fishing every day is rewarding!"

Zhan Zhao shook his head, "That's not right, everything should be relaxed, the living Buddha is merciful to the fisherman, why isn't he merciful to the fish?"

The shopkeeper opened his mouth wide, "Uh, I never thought about it..."

Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao, "Go over and have a look, and ask for a marriage or something."

Before Zhan Zhao could answer, the shopkeeper burst out laughing. "Fifth Lord, what are you doing to join in the fun? Ever since the Living Buddha settled down here, the girls in the city line up every day to beg for marriage. In all likelihood, they are begging you! In my opinion, there must be too many girls who are begging for marriage. Living Buddha and his old man can't figure out how to ration the fifth master..."━━∑(￣□￣*||━━

The little shopkeeper met Bai Yutang's cold gaze and consciously muted his voice.

Zhan Zhao snorted twice, "I'll go take a look."

Bai Yutang regretted, "Don't go." Sending the cat to the women's pile, isn't it sending the sheep to the tiger's mouth?

Zhan Zhao walked forward regardless, so Bai Yutang had no choice but to risk his life to accompany the cat.

The stone statue of the Living Buddha was surrounded, and the crowd had three floors and three floors outside. The two were too lazy to squeeze in, and just stood on the sidelines to watch.The distance was too far, and with the strong incense burning around the stone statue, Zhan Zhao couldn't see clearly the face of the Buddha. After watching it for a long time, Bai Yutang always felt familiar...

"Dowry!" Bai Yutang said suddenly.

A murderous look flashed in Zhan Zhao's eyes, which meant—the dowry is a forbidden speech, let alone kill you!

Bai Yutang was helpless, "On the mountain road that day, you helped carry the carriage. The Buddha statue in the carriage is just like this, but the size is much smaller."

Zhan Zhao blinked, "How do you know?"

Bai Yutang shrugged, "It suddenly occurred to me that I have seen similar Buddha statues in Mobei."

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin, "I always feel something is wrong."

Bai Yutang glanced casually into the crowd, met a pair of familiar eyes, Bai Yutang was startled, grabbed Zhan Zhao, turned around and ran away.

Zhan Zhao was dragged away by Bai Yutang in a daze, and asked strangely, "Xiao Bai, did any wild cats bite you?"

Bai Yutang did not forget to emphasize in his busy schedule: "Run, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, and then heard a shocking shout from behind—"Young master, oh, oh, oh!!!"

A bad premonition arose in Zhan Zhao's heart, and he heard another shout from behind—"Young Master's Madam, Aww!!!"

At the same time, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang's face was livid, and he sneaked into the crowd without looking back. Under the pressure of external factors, the two outstanding lightness kung fu improved to the peak.It's just that the person behind him is still persistently shouting: "Seeing that you two love each other so much, I'm going to die in peace!!!"
