The height of the temple, the suffering of the rivers and lakes

Qi Yin said that Qu Mao likes to accept adopted sons and daughters, and then give them to others as gifts.The children of the good people's family can't help him torment like this. Of course, most of these foster sons and daughters are from bad backgrounds.

It is conceivable that Qu Rao behaves like that and comes from a family background.

But no matter how much Song Yun disliked Qu Rao, there was no reason not to let mother and son meet each other, Song Yun didn't care about them.She was just afraid that Luo Fu would be sad when he thought of his life experience, and wanted to find something to change the topic, but she didn't care at all, and didn't talk to Song Yun much, and went back to her room.

Qi Yin shook his head at Luo Fu's back: "It is said that she is a maid for Yunyun, and she has never done the job of serving tea and water, and she is more stylish than anyone else."

Song Yun rubbed the dog's head and said, "I didn't expect her to serve me at all. Why is Your Majesty becoming more narrow-minded, and doesn't want to see anyone? The Tai Tuo also said that I spoiled you too much all day long, which caused people to criticize me. Treat yourself and others." "

Qi Yin yelled: "How can they compare with me! Besides, Yunyun treats them too well, it will inevitably make them think that they shouldn't have."

Speaking of this, Qi Yin gritted his teeth, "That little goblin, he posted it up like a desperate person, and he deserves it!"

"What are you doing so arrogantly? How could you let him get close. If he discovered the secret, Qu Mao would know it, and it would be like giving the handle to Qi Chou." Song Yun reasoned with Qi Xiaogou.

"It means, if you don't need to hide your stomach, Yunyun will accept that little goblin?!" Qi Xiaogou spun around in anger.

Song Yun hugged the dog with a smile, "What a shame. If it's a goblin, the first one belongs to our majesty."

Saying he's a goblin, does that mean he's also very seductive?Qi Xiaogou puffed out his chest, of course.After all, he is Dayan's real dragon son, with an extraordinary bearing, no one will be tempted by our posture and aura...

Qi Xiaogou asked arrogantly: "Okay, Yunyun, tell me, what kind of fairy am I?"

Song Yun was stunned, and seeing Qi Yin's complacent look, couldn't help laughing: "Of course it's a dog spirit. Otherwise, what else could it be?"

Qi Yin: "..."

No matter what, he must be said to be a vixen who seduces the soul!What the hell is a dog spirit!

Qi Yin's face collapsed, he let loose from Song Yun's embrace, and ran around the yard with his four paws spread.

I can't see again, what are you running around?Song Yun was afraid that he would be injured if he bumped into the pillar, so he had to coax him to chase after him: "Your Majesty, calm down, I was wrong... Is it okay to be a cat spirit?"

Qi Yin ran more happily.

Naturally, a person with two legs cannot run as fast as a person with four legs, not to mention that Song Yun has a fake belly.

He chased for a few laps and couldn't catch up, so he simply stood there and "waited for the dog".Sure enough, Qi Yin ran over half a circle and plunged into Song Yun's arms.

Song Yun ran down the black dog's hair, smiling brows and eyes: "It is said that only those with aura can become demons and spirits. Why doesn't my family seem to be very smart?"

Qi Yin moaned and chirped and rubbed against Song Yun's skirt, no one is smart.Although I can't see it, I can smell it clearly. Of course I know you are standing there.

It is because you are standing there that I run towards you.

Song Yun and Qi Yin were playing around in the yard, they only had each other in their eyes and hearts, and they didn't notice that Luo Fu opened a gap in the window of his room, listening to the movement in the yard, his eyes gradually became deeper.

Tired from playing, Song Yun was about to go back to his room to rest. The Taifu came back again and again, carrying a bundle, and inside was a set of men's clothes and a set of fake beards.

"Put it on and go out with me at night."

Song Yun didn't know what the Taifu wanted to do, but he did it.

Lanzhou, like Quezhou, is a state city near the sea, but it is quite different——

The pastoral mansion in Quezhou is shabby, but most of the people are rich, and the street market is also lively; the pastoral mansion in Lanzhou is magnificent, but there are few wealthy households in the prefecture, there are not many types of business on the street, and most of the people wear simple clothes.

Yesterday when I entered the State Shepherd's Mansion, although many people in Lanzhou didn't see the face of the Empress Dowager, they all knew that there was a black dog beside the Empress Dowager who never left her.Since he was traveling in men's clothing and wanted to hide his identity, he naturally couldn't take Qi Yin with him.

Song Yun hasn't appeared in front of so many people in men's clothing for many years.Although he wore a beard to make him look old, his appearance was still extremely handsome, somewhat similar to Yan Yunshen's bearded man.The two walked together and attracted a lot of attention along the way. Song Yun heard someone whispering about which two masters they were, and why they had never seen each other before.

Song Yun was afraid that someone would recognize him, and felt uneasy. Yan Yunshen walked beside him and reminded: "Stand up straight. As a man, you should be upright and upright."

Song Yun's heart was shocked. Isn't what he had longed for for a long time to stand upright in the world as a man?Finally have a chance, what are you afraid of?

Song Yun cast a grateful look at Taifu.Even his father never told him that.

Tai Fu didn't respond to him, and sat down at a wonton stall on the street, and greeted the boss: "Two bowls of wonton."

Southerners love to eat this kind of noodles with soup and ingredients, and you can see them everywhere on the street.The one chosen by Tai Fu is not special.

Song Yun followed and sat down, looked at the surroundings, "Too...does the teacher also eat in this kind of place?"

The Taifu sat upright and didn't answer him, but said: "I will read more, hear more, taste more, and think about it later. I have a question to test you."

Song Yun's scalp became tense in an instant. He was asked by Tai Fu Ce during the palace examination in his previous life, which made people more nervous than answering the emperor's question.After answering several political questions, Song Yun's back was soaked.Who would have thought that he would suffer such a crime in this life.

"What does the teacher want to test?" Song Yun asked boldly.

Two bowls of steaming wontons were brought up, Yan Yunshen took out his chopsticks from the chopsticks cage, and transferred more than half of one bowl of wontons into the other bowl.

He pushed the extra bowl in front of Song Yun, "You can't eat and sleep without talking. Let's talk after eating."

After finishing speaking, Tai Tu began to eat wontons.

Song Yun was stunned, looked down at her protruding bowl, and quickly pulled out her chopsticks to eat, swallowing without caring about chewing—it was scary enough to eat at the same table with the Taifu.

If the Tai Tu had finished eating first and watched his eating intently, he would probably have a stomachache all day long.

Song Yun ate it quickly, swallowing it almost whole, without even tasting it.At the same time, the brain was running fast, and from the corner of the eye, he paid attention to the expressions and words of the peddlers on the street-the Taifu brought him to the street, probably to test his knowledge of the local customs-this kind of eyes, ears, nose, and mouth are used together, and the body and mind are tense Extremely, a thin layer of sweat broke out on the corner of Song Yun's forehead, the powder applied between the eyebrows was a little blurred, and the red mole between the eyebrows was looming.Fortunately, it was neither too early nor too late, and I just finished eating at the same time as Tai Tu.

Tai Fu took a last sip of the hot soup, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "How does this wonton taste?" Then he watched Song Yun say nothing.

Song Yun was dumbfounded, so this is the only test?

Song Yun never expected that Taifu asked him to come out. He didn't ask about current affairs or public policies, but only asked about the taste of a bowl of wontons.

But apart from being hot, Song Yun didn't have time to taste anything.

No... According to Song Yun's understanding of Taifu, it should be more than just the literal meaning.To answer this question, we should still rely on people's livelihood and government affairs, but what business does the taste of wonton have to do with it?

Song Yun racked her brains and carefully observed all the passers-by in front of the stall——

A little brother walked by with his trouser legs high, and the skin on his legs was a little wrinkled, as if he had been soaked in water for a long time, which was similar to the hands and feet of the pirates Song Yun had seen before.

An aunt dressed as a matchmaker greeted the younger brother with a smiling face, stretched out the small basket in her arm, and said, "This is the jujube that the Liu family just planted. How good... When can I go again? The eighth day of the next month is a good day." , I've never seen such a well-matched couple like you, so let's get things done at that time."

The young man looked hesitant and said to wait.

It seems that the woman is happy about the marriage, while the man is still putting on airs, and the matchmaker refuses to give up, and wants to get an accurate answer after arguing.

Judging by his dressing style, this little brother is not very rich, why is the market so tight?

The two walked over, and then came a pair of mother and son.The mother also carried a vegetable basket in her hand, and the child tiptoed to lick his fingers and put his finger into the basket, and was spotted by the mother and patted the back of the head.However, the child happily stuffed his fingers dipped in a ring of white particles into his mouth, and grinned: "It's delicious!"

Mother shook her head and covered the basket with a cloth, "Little greedy cat."

The mother and son walked away.

Song Yun turned his gaze back to the side, looking at the many bottles and cans on the wonton stall.There is lard, green onion and ginger, and garlic water with garlic grains floating, and there is half a can of clear water beside it.

The stall owner puts the seasoning into the bowl one by one, then lifts the lid of the pot, scoops the wontons into the bowl amidst the rising heat and white mist, pours hot soup on it, and a bowl of wontons is ready to be served on the table.

Song Yun recalled, the wonton skin was thin and the meat was tender.But there is a little lack, too weak.

Light means less salt.

Lanzhou is short of salt.

The little brother's hands and feet were wrinkled in the salt water.He may be working in the government's Yanjing factory, so he is the sweet pastry in the hands of the matchmaker.Poor five or six-year-old child, dipped in a little salt to eat, and was so happy that he didn't feel pain when he was beaten.

Salt iron has always been strictly controlled by the country, and the price is also high, but it is only used for seasoning, and it is not needed in daily life. How come so many people can't afford it?The people can't even afford salt, so the court doesn't care about it?

Song Yun looked up at the Grand Tutor: "The lack of salt in Lanzhou is Qu Mao's fault, right?"

Taifu still didn't answer Song Yun's question directly, but asked, "Are you full?"

Not only is it full, the owner of this small shop is kind and generous, and a large bowl of meat wontons costs ten copper coins.The Taifu also gave him half a bowl, and Song Yun's stomach was slightly bulging.

The two paid the money and got up, strolling on the street to digest food.

"What do you think a good official should be?" the Tai Tu asked with his hands behind his back.

Taifu really didn't call it for nothing, he really became Teacher Song Yun.Song Yun didn't say polite words on the scene, but took advantage of the current situation and said: "At least let the people live and work in peace and contentment, and life is enjoyable."

The Tai Tuo gave a "hmm" and didn't ask any more questions.During this silence, the right to ask questions fell to Song Yun.

"Although the coast of Lanzhou is not as long as that of Quezhou, it is also close to the sea. There are still a few salt wells in the territory. Even if part of the salt production is to be handed over to the state treasury, according to its production scale, the rest is enough for the people to eat. Why are the people still short of salt? ?”

Song Yun lives in the State Shepherd's Mansion, and has the best basic necessities of life.On the bright side, it seems that he is a pregnant woman in the late stage of pregnancy. The cook changes his pattern every day to make delicious and nourishing food, which is almost the same as the imperial food in the palace.How could Song Yun know that the common people in Lanzhou even eat salt as a luxury.

Sure enough, living at the height of the temple cannot appreciate the suffering of the rivers and lakes.That's why there have been emperors in the past dynasties who visited the people and inspected the people's conditions.

And Qi Chou, he also came.The problem was not solved, only a beauty was brought back.

This throne really can't let him sit for a long time.

Song Yun shook his head in regret, and felt even more regretful that he couldn't bring Qi Yin with him today.

Taifu said: "Do you know that Hu Fu's downfall was caused by Qu Mao reporting his corruption?"

Song Yun blurted out, "I know—"

It was only after the words came out that Song Yun realized that he had made a slip of the tongue.Qi Yin told him about Qu Mao's report, but Qi Chou didn't mention it to him.The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Logically speaking, Song Yun shouldn't know about it.

Song Yun paid attention to Tai Tuo's expression, and Tai Tuo looked the same.

That's right, the Taifu even knew that he was a man with a fake pregnancy. Although it was impossible to think that Qi Yin was by Song Yun's side, he must know that Song Yun was allied with Pei Jili.

The Taifu continued: "Both of them are not clean and honest people. They used to rule next to each other, and there was no conflict of interest. On the surface, they got along in harmony. Only last year, the salt that Quezhou handed over to the state treasury was loaded by boat and passed by by water. In Lanzhou, a boat was struck by lightning and Yanrong was destroyed. For this reason, the two states shifted responsibility from each other for a month. The imperial court intervened, ordered Lanzhou to pay half of the refined salt, and fined the two prefectures each with half a year's salary. Rated as inferior, let it go.”

"Since then, there have been conflicts between the two prefectures. Qu Mao thought that the thunder was a punishment from heaven, and he could go by land, but Hu Fu insisted on arranging to pass through Lanzhou. Lanzhou blocked Quezhou. Doom. After that, the output of Lanzhou Salt Wells was indeed not as good as before. Qu Mao held a grudge against Hu Fu, searched for evidence of his greed for ink, and advised the emperor to eradicate him during this southern tour. Unexpectedly, he also exposed Hu Fu. It is a remnant of the previous dynasty, and Qu Mao made a great contribution by mistake."

It turned out that there was such an antecedent.

Although Song Yun was in Quezhou, these official stories could not be heard in the Shenzhai compound.Song Yun vaguely remembered hearing the cook say that the price of salt was high last year, but he didn't expect it to be because the entire salt boat capsized.

"But even if the local salt production is not enough in the future, why don't you report it to the imperial court and apply for relief from the treasury?" Song Yun was puzzled.

Yan Yun took a deep look at him: "Lanzhou's wheat harvest is also poor this year."

"How come? Last Wanshou Festival, Qu Mao also said—" Song Yun came to his senses, "Qu Mao deliberately concealed the state's famine in order to seek political achievements. He did such a thing...that is to say, except Maestro, the imperial court does not know that there is a shortage of salt in Lanzhou."

The Taifu nodded: "The superiors rely on the lower levels to transmit information. But if any of them is blind or deaf, the upper level can only see the peaceful and prosperous Haiyan and Heqing."

Song Yun frowned, "Teacher's words, I have been taught. When we return to Beijing, we must expose Qu Mao's true colors to the emperor."

The Taifu said: "What is a mere Qu Mao? The root cause is not right, and it is the same with how many officials are changed. Today, I am not completely ignorant, but after weighing the pros and cons, I still think it is better to keep Qu Mao. Even if you tell him in person However, it just makes the emperor unable to step down and annoys you even more."

What the Taifu said was reasonable, and if he stepped back ten thousand steps, even if Qi Chou could listen to his advice, Song Yun couldn't bring it up.

However, Song Yun didn't quite understand one sentence in Taifu's words.Qu Mao is the governor of Lanzhou, Lanzhou is out of order, he is not the root cause, who is?

The Taifu stopped, and Song Yun stood still.

The Taifu raised his head, and Song Yun's eyes also cast in the direction he was looking.

Ten feet away, a Taoist temple with a tall gate and blue tiles, with a plaque of "Wuwei Temple" hanging on it, is impressive.

The author says:

The more I write, the more I like the character of Yunyun, not only because he is a great beauty, but also because he has righteousness in his heart——
