"Even this world belongs to me, what else is not mine?" The old emperor waved his hand and said: "Don't wait around like a woman, hurry up and get it."
Just bring it up. This thing is a birthday gift for Her Royal Highness the Princess. If the old emperor has the nerve to shame even this, he has nothing to say.
Li Yi took the brocade box from the guard's hand, walked up to the pavilion, and placed it on the table in the middle.
Emperor Jing had a look of curiosity on his face and said, "Open it and let me take a look."
"Your Majesty, let's forget it." Li Yi looked at the bow tied with a colorful ribbon at the top and hesitated, "This is a gift for the eldest princess. It took a lot of effort for me to wrap it up like this."
Emperor Jing picked up the tea cup and waved his hand impatiently: "Open it if you want, and then wrap it up later."
Li Yi had no choice but to take off the ribbon, put it aside, and said, "I opened it. Your Majesty, you must be mentally prepared."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense today..." Emperor Jing took a sip of tea and glanced at him.
Li Yi moved the box a little further, opened the lid, and when Emperor Jing spit out a sip of tea, he quickly closed the lid and turned around with the brocade box in his arms.
The old emperor was still blinded by what was in the box. Fortunately, he moved quickly enough. The price of the glass statue that had been sprayed with tea might be slightly discounted.
However, his clothes can be used properly in the future. As the clothes that were sprayed with tea today, they have great commemorative significance. It is definitely not excessive to sell them for 800 taels of silver.
"Open it, open it..." Emperor Jing put down the tea cup and stood up from the stone bench, his eyes shining brightly.
"Your Majesty, don't be excited." Li Yi put the box on the table and opened the lid again.
Emperor Jing stood up and leaned over. He saw in the box was a glazed statue of a woman about two feet tall. The woman was dressed in palace clothes. She was lifelike, and even her expressions were vividly depicted. Most of the statue was transparent, and the clothing was
The patterns are clearly visible and colorful. Under the sunlight, they seem to flow with brilliance and are extremely dazzling.
After all, he is an emperor and has seen countless treasures. Although he has never seen such a large and exquisite glass statue, he quickly calmed down and asked with some suspicion: "Is this really your gift to the Pearl?"
, since when have you been so generous?"
Li Yi closed the lid, wrapped the ribbon again, and said, "I have always been generous to my friends. It's just a glazed statue, it's nothing."
Emperor Jing looked at him and asked: "It is said that colored glaze is a gift from heaven. It is extremely rare even in the palace. How did you get such a large piece of colored glaze and carve it into a pearl?"
Li Yi put the box aside and said, "I came to the palace this time just to tell your majesty about this matter."
"It's not urgent. I have other things to ask you." Emperor Jing waved his hand, and a guard behind him spread a white cloth on the table. There were patterns on the cloth, which looked very familiar.
…
…
"What did the monk say to His Majesty just now?"
A few feet away from the pavilion, a middle-aged Taoist priest stood beside Changde, looked at him and asked.
"I just came here too."
Chang De said lightly, looked back at the middle-aged Taoist priest, and said: "I can't control what Monk Tanyin said to Your Majesty, but his medical skills are even inferior to those of the imperial physician. As for your surname Yuan
, if I offer any pills to His Majesty again, not only will I not let you go, but your Taoist sect will also not let you go."
"Mr. Chang's temper is exactly the same as it was decades ago." In response to Chang De's rebuke, the middle-aged Taoist priest was not angry at all and said: "Pindao did something wrong with you last time. At that time, Pindao left Beijing.
Yuanyou didn’t know about this, and if it weren’t for this, he wouldn’t have allowed the Taoist disciples to do such a thing.”
"You don't have to apologize to me." Chang De said coldly: "If it weren't for His Majesty's kindness, do you think your sect can continue to be stable?"
"When it comes to His Majesty's body, it seems that you, Manager Chang, have a greater responsibility, right?" The middle-aged Taoist priest looked at him and said, "After all, the late emperor entrusted His Majesty to you, Manager Chang..."
The guards under the pavilion felt a little cold for no reason. After wrapping their clothes tightly, they looked at the pavilion again.
Li Yi has experienced eating with him before, but this is his first time playing with him.
The old emperor actually also played beast chess. The chess pieces were made of white jade. Li Yi forced the old emperor's leopard into a desperate situation. The old emperor glanced at him and said with a smile: "A momentary failure is not really a failure. Sometimes, you give up."
Certain things can often lead to greater gains.”
He moved a chess piece casually, and Li Yicai discovered that his bishop had been forced into a blind corner.
Li Yi smiled and said: "You can survive in desperate situations. Sometimes, if you don't push yourself, you won't know that you have such great potential."
"Your Majesty, let's take advantage of Dumbo!"
"Bold!" A hint of anger appeared on Emperor Jing's face, "You dare to cheat when you play chess with me... In this case, don't blame me for being a ground rat!"
"Your Majesty, how about this Tigger move!"
"No matter how much you jump, can you escape my dragnet?"
"Come out, the super invincible barking dog of the universe!"
…
…
"I lost?"
"Well, Your Majesty loses. When the Roaring Sky Dog comes out, who can compete with him?"
"How did my barking dog die just now?"
"He was bitten to death by my tiger."
"Isn't it the super invincible barking dog in the universe?"
"Your Majesty, when you use this move, you have to shout out to be a roaring dog. If you don't shout, you are a Chinese pastoral dog..."
"So, I really lost?"
"Your Majesty really lost."
Emperor Jing put down the chess pieces and said: "Three students were expelled from the academy a few days ago. They are all children of powerful people. There has been discussion in the court. Children from poor families should not be treated too favorably, otherwise it will be unfair. I want to treat children from official families like
We will select ten more people, and you can make some arrangements in advance."
"good."
Li Yi nodded. The Cui family and the Qin family should not send their children into the fire pit this time. If there are people named Qin and Cui who come in, they can win over them. After all, they don't even care about the lives of their clan members.
Family, it’s okay if you don’t want it...
Emperor Jing nodded slightly and said: "I didn't want to mess up the foundation of the imperial court with regard to the last accounting review. I did not kill all the officials who took the initiative to hand over the stolen money. These days, some officials in the imperial court proposed that a "redemption bank" be established.
The system, that is, exempting certain punishments with varying amounts of money according to the severity of the official's crime, can relieve the worry of the empty treasury, what do you think?"
Li Yi put away the chess pieces and said: "As soon as the "atonement silver" comes out, Jing's country will not be far away."
Emperor Jing frowned and asked, "Is it so serious?"
You can't tell him that in another world, the system proposed by He Shen, the most corrupt official in history, enriched the emperor and himself, but it also caused a lot of corruption in the country and accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty.
…
This is how the Qing Dynasty perished. If Jingguo dared to do this, it would be over sooner or later!
Emperor Jing sighed and said: "Although the national treasury received a large amount of money in the past few days, it was too short before and allocated another thirty thousand taels to the School of Calculation, so it still cannot make ends meet..."
Li Yi raised his head and glanced at him. Is thirty thousand taels the key point? Moreover, he saved the thirty thousand taels for him and kept them in the college as start-up funds for various future projects. The stingy old emperor, Xue
The old man asked for another hundred thousand taels, so why did he just seize it and keep it from the academy?
Li Yi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. There is a solution for the national treasury deficit."
"Seriously?" Emperor Jing looked up at him and asked, "Do you have a way to solve the treasury deficit?"
"To be honest with your Majesty, I am here today to solve your Majesty's troubles."
Li Yi nodded. At this moment, he felt like a magic stick.
