The palace banquet at the Dharma Assembly is no different from usual.
But people's mood will change due to things, and life will change. Even if you attend a meeting every year, the atmosphere will be very different.
Especially this year.
In front of the iron-fisted emperor who was capable of writing and ink, and who could conquer the enemy with force, even if it was unavoidable to talk about state affairs, it would be nothing more than a small and insignificant episode at the banquet.
He will definitely not be like the previous "mad king" who cried blood in front of the Buddha.
All officials are happy and contented.
Secondly, today's food is really delicious, making this trip worthwhile.
Outside the Mahayana Palace, everything seems peaceful.
The emperor on the dragon throne has the troubles of being a father.
For a moment, his eyes glanced at the four children who made him frown, and Emperor Qing picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth.
After a while, the gloom gradually dissipated.
Emperor Qing was surprised.
I was just hoping that it would suppress the pent-up feeling in my heart, but I didn't expect that this mouthful would actually taste sweet on the tip of my tongue, and a different kind of taste would come to my heart.
The serving eunuch caught the saint's joy with his peripheral vision, took a step forward and said in front of him: "What the saint said was Longjing tea cake. The abbot specially asked the master to make it for today's grand event."
The eunuch Heshun is blessed with kindness and kindness.
Return the favor with a kind smile.
Emperor Qing nodded in agreement, not because Ci En was trying to flatter him, but because he sincerely felt that the cake in his mouth was very delicious!
"The taste is elegant, let's enjoy it together?"
When a real dragon speaks, there will be no one in the whole feast who will not fail to cater to him.
Lu Xiling had never seen such a scene. If he had seen it, he would have exclaimed, "What a good guy."
I have only seen people raising glasses and drinking together, but I have never seen people eating cakes together!
After finishing the last bite, Emperor Qing even picked up the residue on his palm, wiping the residue on his hands like a child stealing food.
"Why is a saint like this?" Ci En said with a smile.
Emperor Qing's lips pursed slightly.
If he says that this thing is alluring and lovesick, it reminds him of the beautiful spring days and the enchanted eyes of the girl when she blew away the mandala flowers.
It's strange to be embarrassed.
Emperor Qing looked around and talked about him, and they started chatting in the name of food.
"It's cold in Dibei. Even if you are greedy, you can't eat green wheat, fruits and vegetables. When you were young, you would go up the Luoshui River and a plate of stir-fry for two winters would be enough to keep the silly boy happy for a whole day."
All the Di Beierlangs around him unconsciously agreed.
Emperor Qing was talking about the beauty of winter bamboo shoots, and Ci En remembered the spring bamboo shoots in the garden.
"The fresher the bamboo shoots, the better. There are many beautiful things in the mountains and forests. There are often freshly cut bamboo shoots in the vegetarian restaurant in the temple." Abbot Ci'en said: "They are all cheap and small things. If the saint does not abandon them, he can stay in the guest house and taste the beauty of spring bamboo shoots.
."
"So good."
After all, he is a northerner, with a cheerful and tight temperament.
But talking about cheap things, Emperor Qing was also thinking about the refugees who followed him all the way south. At this time, he didn't know whether they had a bite of the seasonal spring bamboo shoots.
Bai Wu cupped his hands and said, "My son has asked Chen Su to lend money to the people with the Food Bureau. Each household will receive a loan of two dan, and an additional 300,000 yuan of hidden silver will be used to lend money to the poor homeless households."
Bai Shu added: "To prevent the refugees from becoming homeless, the fourth brother has already expanded the huts near the city with his sons and ministers. Vegetables and salt are also ready. Father does not need to worry too much."
"Taxation and official procurement should also be watched carefully."
Bai Shu smiled heartily and said, "These fathers and emperors are even more relieved. They are all being cared for by their royal brothers."
Finished in one sentence.
Emperor Qing nodded and cast his gaze on Bai Ye, who had remained silent from beginning to end.
After taking a look at the relatively worry-free second child, the depression in Emperor Qing's heart eased. However, he remembered something again and frowned unpredictably, looking slightly depressed.
"Ahem." The father cleared his throat and asked as usual: "There are millions of refugees in the city, does Aye have any good plans?"
Bai Ye, who stayed out of the incident, put on a serious face.
"Since the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development conducted a survey on the people's sentiments, many refugees in the north have a desire to return home. I believe that these people can be loaned out seeds and cattle to ensure that they have something to rely on when they return home.
As for the refugees who are willing to stay around the capital, they can be recruited as soldiers or do public service to make a living."
Emperor Qing nodded and said warmly: "That makes sense."
Emperor Qing was not surprised by Bai Ye's answer.
His Erlang is thoughtful and considerate, has lived in this land for the longest time, and has a better understanding of how to survive.
but……
Emperor Qing stroked his beard and said: "Most of the refugees are young and old. Military households and public service are not long-term solutions."
"What do you think, princess?"
During the banquet, I don’t know where this sentence came from.
Bai Fengzhi was so frightened that the cake in her mouth almost fell out.
In the past, there were many princesses in power in the court, and even empresses appeared, so it was quite common for women to discuss politics.
Emperor Qing's eyes happened to come over.
Countless pairs of eyes looked at Bai Fengzhi like a sword hanging above his head, and even his words were out of control.
"My daughter thought... thought..."
Bai Fengzhi started to feel confused.
"If trade fails, the Three Treasures will be perfect..."
"The king of Qi relied on his trade to protect his people. Shizong was selling tea when he was young and figured out the strategy to rejuvenate the country and stabilize it..."
"So...therefore..." Bai Fengzhi lowered his head.
"Excellent."
A loving voice came from the platform.
Abbot Ci'en nodded slightly, and then continued Bai Fengzhi's words: "I hope that Your Majesty will not blame me for making a mistake. I just realized that the princess was really righteous for being able to understand the people at such a young age, so I didn't feel unhappy about it.
The princess said that it is based on business and allows the refugees to become traders and integrate into the capital to support themselves. The poor monk believes that this method is safer than borrowing money and is really a wonderful plan to benefit all people."
Emperor Qing's eyes lit up and he felt very surprised.
Ci'en was the orthodoxy of both the emperor and the emperor, and he was quite accommodating in political affairs.
Listening to what he said now, Emperor Qing felt that compared to Bai Ye's step-by-step method, Bai Fengzhi's method could be said to be a step above.
However, even if the old father is a saint, he still cannot act too much.
Emperor Qing smiled implicitly and said: "Fengzhi's temperament has been raised by me like a man. I thought I wanted to raise this heartless little fierce horse for the rest of my life. Unexpectedly, my daughter's thoughts have become more thoughtful now. She knows how to share the worries of her father.
Already."
"How can a tiger father have a dog girl?" the serving eunuch responded.
The lady of Lu Guogong, who was sitting on the edge of the platform, was from Emperor Qing's family, and she spoke more boldly than the others.
Seeing that Bai Fengzhi's face was slightly red, he couldn't help but joked to the younger generation: "This year, the princess has already reached the age of haircut. The emperor doesn't want to raise her, but there are many good boys competing to raise her."
Bai Fengzhi raised her eyes.
Emperor Qing burst into laughter as he was squeezed out: "Don't let her words deceive you. He was brought up well by his grandma, but in fact he is still a disobedient little pony."
Although hundreds of officials were paying their respects today, it was not just the courtiers who were sitting below, but the noble daughters of the Pushe family and the young masters of the minister's family were also present.
Although Bai Fengzhi's gaze just now was short-lived, the clues were still discovered by those who were interested.
Mrs. Lu Guogong looked at the male relatives opposite with a smile and said: "In my opinion, the princess is more delicate than a flower, and only the Wen Qian young master from a noble family is worthy of her."
Mrs. Lu Guogong's dimples sunk in: "My wife, I think the young master of the Siye family is pretty good."
Bai Fengzhi's whole body suddenly became tense.
But his eyes couldn't help but look to the other side.
The young master of Wu Siye's family suddenly panicked when his name was called.
But after becoming a civil servant, he calmed down within a moment and spoke calmly.
"Now that I have neither an official title nor any meritorious deeds, how dare I miss the princess?"
Who at the banquet couldn't tell that this was Duke Lu's wife deliberately pulling strings?
They knew even more clearly that it was not impossible for the elder brother of the Wu family to hear that if he wanted to rise to prominence, his consort would be the best choice.
The garden was quiet for a long time.
Bai Fengzhi looked away.
Just now, I was just blushing, but now my eyes were also red.
