How many buildings are in the mist

"minister,"

"Get up, what are you praying for? It's not a formal occasion."

Just as Feng Zizhang was about to kneel, Feng Zihuan interrupted her impatiently, "Come and sit." She waved to Feng Zizhang, as if motioning for her to sit beside her.Cui Xuanji was surprised, and the female officer next to him immediately took out the bamboo fungus {17} and the lacquer case familiarly, and put them down on the right side very close to Feng Zihuan.

"At Kaishan Temple, you..."

"Ok?"

"Uh……"

"What does my sister want to ask?"

"I just wanted to ask what you did."

"It's the same as in the past. Every year, I go to see her at the end of the first lunar month. Others send poor and dark {18}, and we meet. Play the piano, compose poems, and practice Buddhism together."

"Li Zhang has decided to become a monk?"

The female officer served Feng Zizhang with tea fruit again, but Feng Zizhang didn't even look at it. He turned his head to look at the woman playing on the other side of the water, and then turned to look at his sister, "No. She just wants to live there now. I think it's very good, not only won't be away from home and make her mother sad, but also be far away from the hustle and bustle. When I'm in a good mood, I can go boating on the lake."

The laughter of the young woman from the aristocratic family was endless, Feng Zizhang took another look, turned his head and said: "Sister, won't you go to help people exorcise evil spirits and give blessings?"

Feng Zihuan smiled and hit her, then picked up a candied fruit and fed it to Feng Zizhang, "I think you just don't like to see me!" Then he got up and prepared to go.Cui Xuanji was about to follow, Feng Zihuan waved his hand to let Cui Xuanji stay where he was, "The surrounding guards are so strict, who else can hurt me? I can't come back for a while, you can accompany Zizhang."

"Yes."

"Hello Cui Qing." Feng Zizhang looked up at her, "I have met His Royal Highness King Nankang." Feng Zizhang's voice was very nice, although she seemed cold and reserved, her voice made people not bore her.

"I heard about you in Kaishan Temple."

"In Kaishan Temple? A pure place of Buddhism, where did His Highness hear about it?"

"Kaishan Temple is also the largest Buddhist temple near Jiankang. There are many people who come to offer incense every day. Don't you know that the story of you suddenly becoming a general of Habayashi is spread everywhere in Jiankang? I am not Deliberately inquiring about it, I just had nothing to do in the afternoon, walking in the courtyard, and heard the pilgrims passing by the other side of the wall. When I got back to Jiankang, I inquired a little more, and I probably knew a little bit."

"I don't know what His Highness has heard."

"Does Cui Qing care about what other people think of you?" Feng Zizhang looked at her with a half smile, seven parts cold, and one part curiosity.Cui Xuanji thought of what Feng Zihuan had told her about Feng Zizhang on weekdays, and laughed himself first, "That's not true. I'm just curious about who is talking about it."

"Then wouldn't it be better if you just ask who is talking about it?"

"Wouldn't it be embarrassing for His Highness to directly ask who it is. From the content of the discussion, we can probably know who is talking about it."

"So you still care."

"Yes."

Cui Xuanji said in his heart that he is really a royal and no one cares.But think about it, people even dare to contradict the emperor.

"That's all." Feng Zizhang laughed, and Cui Xuanji saw that King Nankang looked ten times better when he smiled than when she didn't.Feng Zizhang originally exuded a "quiet" temperament, even her eyes moved slowly, she spoke slowly, and her expression was small, as if nothing could arouse her waves.Unexpectedly, she felt that Cui Xuanji had made things difficult enough, and that she was too rude and rude, so she smiled ashamedly, as if a clay beauty had come alive.Cui Xuanji couldn't help but compare her with Feng Zihuan, they both have thick eyebrows and big eyes, Feng Zihuan obviously prefers to use this advantage to confuse others, but Feng Zizhang does not.In other words, just like Feng Zihuan's own evaluation, her sister is far colder and calmer than her.

"I was the one who made things difficult for you on purpose just now, and I've made things difficult for you. Please Cui Qing don't take offense."

"Your Highness is joking."

"Actually, these are nothing more than talking about how many official residences you have now, what the emperor wants you to do, and so on. If there is no further information, they have no resources to talk about. It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad. They are all scholars. I wonder how they have Time to talk about you."

"What does Your Highness think they should discuss?"

"Of course it's talking about metaphysics, Lao Zhuang, whether it's true or not, and naturally famous teaching {19} and the like!"

The two laughed together.After laughing, they looked at Feng Zihuan in the distance together.

"Does Cui Qing find it difficult to be my sister's servant?"

"How can you be afraid of difficulties when you are responsible."

"Maybe it will become more and more difficult?"

"The minister must also become more and more proficient."

Now Feng Zizhang smiled politely at her.Cui Xuanji wanted to smile politely, but Feng Zihuan suddenly turned around in the distance, and she was immediately attracted by Feng Zihuan's figure.

If Feng Zizhang is the bright and beautiful full moon, then Feng Zihuan should be the sun, who cannot but be attracted by her, and cannot look directly at her light.

Seeing that she was different, Feng Zizhang turned his head and saw Feng Zihuan approaching, he understood somewhat in his heart, and murmured: "I'm used to being an emperor."

At night, Feng Zihuan insisted on taking his sister back to the palace, saying that he hadn't seen her for a long time and that he wanted to talk with her all night.Feng Zizhang rolled his eyes in his heart, and said in his heart that it won't take long, but only a month!Who knew that Feng Zihuan was looking for her for something.Feng Zihuan seriously sent away everyone around him, and even sent Cui Xuanji back home.There are two sisters in the huge dormitory.

"You sit."

"My sister spent so much time—"

"I had planned this early in the morning, but you just didn't come back. But now is the right time. Zizhang, I need your help." Feng Zizhang nodded.Feng Zihuan thought for a while and asked: "You... what do you think is the biggest problem of this dynasty, if we want to recover the Central Plains."

"Naturally, there is nothing more than money, food and manpower, otherwise there is no way to form an army. There should be no shortage of generals."

"Yes. When I first came to the throne, I felt that the treasury was full of money and food, so I didn't worry about it. The last few years of my mother's reign were good years. These years were peaceful, but I found that the annual income did not increase but decreased. Especially the year before last, zero There are famines in Mausoleum, Xiangdong and other counties, and your Nankang Kingdom is no exception, so I found out that the annual income has dropped sharply. I feel strange."

"Strange? Can it be reduced?"

"No, in times of famine, poor households can't turn in the money, not at all. Maybe it's normal. But some big households actually paid. I asked the local prefect and got two replies. The prefect of Lingling said, yes The big households had a lot of food, and the persecution was too tight, so they were called out. However, the governor of eastern Hunan reported that they went into hiding because of a disaster. I ordered the population booklet to check, and the number could not be correct. There must be a problem with the number of households.”

"Sister, what do you mean, the big households annexed too much land locally, which made it impossible for the court to collect people and food?"

"Yes. Mergers are natural, but excessive mergers can be dangerous. I have heard that in Jiankang, a son of an aristocratic family boasted that his family had hundreds of slaves, a thousand acres of land, and a meal that cost tens of thousands of dollars. I also feel that it is not refined enough{20}. These famous families have too much property, one does not pay taxes, two does not serve in the military, and three if they raise private soldiers, it will be a national disaster.”

"My sister wants me to check it for my sister?"

"Why are you always so smart?"

"My sister knows me, and she doesn't like to beat around the bush. If I have that time, I might as well read more books."

"Are you saying that I made a detour for you?"

"My sister is the emperor, I'm just used to talking like this."

"You girl!"

"Besides, I haven't talked to my sister for a long time, so it's good to listen more."

Feng Zihuan couldn't fight, so he burst out laughing.

The two sisters poured their own tea and drank tea for a while, while the warm spring breeze blew slowly across the hall from time to time.Feng Zizhang said: "How long does my sister want me to leave?"

"Then it's up to you. I only hope that you start near Jiankang first, especially the big families."

"According to geography, Xie from Kuaiji, Cui from Yuzhang, Gu and Lu from Jian'an in Wu County, and... Lu from Jiankang?"

"almost."

"Sister...Have you thought about how to tidy up?"

"I have a general idea, but it depends on the specific situation and what you see. In short, the big clan is infested, and we have to get rid of it."

"Sister, once upon a time, we relied heavily on them."

"Yes. But I can't continue to rely on it. If it can't be used for me, but it causes trouble, then no matter what you have done before, you have to cut it off. Zizhang, think about it, the resources that should be for the country and the people are all withheld in these fat-headed people. In the hands of others, what benefit can it have in this world? Do I want to wait until the future when there is no cure, and be scolded that our Feng family is incompetent and stupid, and let us bear the blame for these old-fashioned people?"

Feng Zizhang smiled and poured tea for Feng Zihuan: "My sister really wants to be a hero of the generation."

"You can just make fun of me, unscrupulous!"

"Oh? Maybe their courtiers are flattering sister by saying such words, and I said it was just a joke?"

"If a person like you said such a thing, if he really said that, it can be seen that I am going to wipe out no one!"

"Oh, I was joking, but my sister was even more frightening than me."

"Don't come here. Zizhang, you have to be careful when you go."

"I see."

"Especially be careful..."

"Be careful of what?"

"Be careful of which lady's heart is lost on the road, and let others rely on you, hahahahahaha."

Feng Zizhang smiled helplessly. "My sister is a king, she was teased, but she still wants to tease her back?"

"Exactly, you don't know me yet?" Feng Zi Zhangxin said, of course I know you.

"Seriously, think about what you want to do. If you lack something, just come and ask for it. Although you seldom show up, you have been on occasions you should have been there over the years. Maybe all the big families know you when you go out. You want Figure out how to hide your identity."

"That's right, can I visit Concubine Duan tomorrow conveniently?"

"You can go if you want, what are you looking for her for?"

"Of course I need help. Sister, don't worry."

A few days later, there was a considerable amount of spring rain in the afternoon.Cui Xuanji stood under the eaves and looked at the rain, while Feng Zihuan looked at her from behind.Seeing her looking up, Feng Zihuan suddenly felt that the official uniform was not suitable for her. "Cui Qing, what are you looking at?" Cui Xuanji hurriedly turned around, bowed his hands and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I am watching the rain." Feng Zihuan got up from the throne and walked out slowly.She was wearing a light blue silk skirt, covered with a moon-white wide-sleeved long gown, and when the wind blew, the sleeves fluttered, which matched her face so well.She is the emperor, the emperor of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and a beauty, a woman whose charm becomes more and more attractive as she gets older.Cui Xuanji only felt that he had exhausted all the words he knew and couldn't describe anything.Feng Zihuan was like a whirlpool, constantly attracting himself closer, unable to avoid it.

"I'm so elegant. Do you want to recite poems and compose poems, or play the piano? By the way, I never know what musical instrument Cui Qing can play?"

"The minister is good at playing the flute."

"It's really suitable for you. I just enjoyed the rain, what song did you think of?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, the song has not thought of it, but I just thought that there is too much rain in spring. I don't know how much rain this year." The rain suddenly became heavy. Cui Xuanji glanced at Yusi and said: "Rain, less can't be done, more If there are too many, the roots of the trees will rot, the grain will not grow, and the flowers will not bloom."

"Unexpectedly, Cui Qing is also a kind-hearted person, and she also cares about the country and the people."

"Your Majesty congratulates you." Feng Zihuan walked outside until she was under the eaves. The female officer wanted to get an umbrella, but she stopped her, "I don't know you very well, so how can we talk about awarding you? It's all new knowledge, it's a surprise."

Cui Xuanji didn't answer anymore, she knew that Feng Zihuan didn't wait for an answer, and she didn't know how to answer, her heart was full of burning thoughts.I can tell you that I have these and these that can surprise you, and that I have these and that that can help you, and most importantly, most importantly,

The most important thing I can't tell you, just like I can only watch the rain with you like this.stand behind you.

The two stayed so quietly for a while before Feng Zihuan walked back and asked Cui Xuanji to come with him. "Now that Huben is in good order, you have to start the next step. Do you have any ideas about the formation of Habayashi?"

"Yes. I think: First of all, in terms of numbers, according to His Majesty's requirements, Habayashi can take charge of Jiankang's defense as a whole. At least 2000 people are needed. Huben can be disassembled and reorganized into the Habayashi Army. It happens to be a mixture of old and new, which is easy to manage. Your Majesty hopes to recruit more women. I thought that we could first recruit them at a ratio of two to one. According to the Huben system, Habayashi will be eliminated at the end of the year. If men are eliminated, women will be gradually replaced. To send excellent people into the border guards, so no matter in terms of organizational structure or requirements, recruiting 2000 people is enough."

"Well, where do you recruit?"

"Recruitment, this is how I think..."

Although Feng Zihuan was listening, he was actually in a daze.She only used a small part of her brain power, which was enough to process the information Cui Xuanji sent her.She was satisfied with Cui Xuanji's arrangement and was willing to let Cui Xuanji do it.Even though Cui Xuanji was sent by Cui Yi to monitor him, at least so far, Cui Xuanji is obedient, even too obedient, dedicated to his duties, smart and capable.Cui Xuanji could obviously play a bigger role, but why wouldn't she?

When Cui Xuanji answered his own words, he always showed two completely opposite sides.One side is reticent and silent, hiding oneself; the other side is full of spirits, which cannot be covered by the light.Feng Zihuan really wanted to know which one was the more real Cui Xuanji, or both.She has seen a lot of taciturn and well-behaved people, but Cui Xuanji is just more well-behaved; and this kind of well-behaved is even more mysterious because of Cui Xuanji's occasional flashes.Feng Zihuan was sitting on it at the moment, looking at the eloquent Cui Xuanji, using the rest of his mind to appreciate, guess, and enjoy this kind of guessing.

Does Cui Xuanji know that when she expresses her point of view in high spirits, if there is brilliance in her eyes, no one can take their eyes off her?

"That's what I think, I don't know what His Majesty thinks."

"I think it's very good, so I'll do it like this. Tomorrow, I will ask Cui Xiang to draw up an order and order the states and counties to cooperate. Within a month, I hope to complete the formation. What do you think—"

She paused, Cui Xuanji went in without knowing.

"Xuan Ji?"

Cui Xuanji was taken aback for a moment, then blushed unapologetically.Feng Zihuan was overjoyed.

"I just think it's too old-fashioned to call it that way. Is it okay to call it this way? Or do you have Biaozi and hope I can use Biaozi?"

"This, this is very good. Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

A smile crept onto Feng Zihuan's face, and he reopened the memorial.

At this time, Feng Zizhang was standing in front of Concubine Duan's palace gate in the middle of the harem, waiting to enter.

The author has something to say:

{17} At that time, the Jiangnan area called the thin bamboo mat Sheng.

{18} The end of the first lunar month is a dark day, which is one of the festivals of the first lunar month. The customs include boating by the water, feasting, laundry, and sending off the poor.

{19} are the main topics of the talk.

{20}The original scriptures in history come from He Zeng during the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. According to the "Book of Jin" Volume 33 "He Zeng Biography": "Eating ten thousand dollars a day is like saying that there is no place for chopsticks." Later generations use "no place for chopsticks" to describe the extravagance of eating and drinking extravagant.
