In the Qianqing Palace, Yunxi looked with great concern at Zhang Sanfeng, who was taking Xiyi's pulse. Not only him, but Xiyao was also sitting aside, staring nervously at the two people in front of him.
Zhang Sanfeng pressed Xiyi's wrist with a serious face, raising his head from time to time to look at Xiyi's face. After a long time, he let go of his hand.
"Zhenzhen Zhang, how is Concubine Hui's health?" Yunxi asked immediately, and Xiyao also looked over.
"Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with Concubine Hui's health." Zhang Sanfeng replied.
"That's great!" Yunxi said happily. Xiyao immediately took Xiyi's arm happily and smiled at her: "Sister, you don't have to worry."
"Thank you Master Zhang." After hearing the news that she was in good health, Xiyi herself breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately saluted Zhang Sanfeng.
"It's a shame for me. I don't dare to treat you as a gift from the empress." Zhang Sanfeng immediately stepped aside to avoid it.
"Why can't Master Zhang deserve it?" Xiyao also stood up. Although he did not salute, he said: "Zhenren Zhang is a life-savior, so he naturally deserves it."
But having said that, there is only one real reason why Xiyao does not object to Xiyi saluting him: she believes that Zhang Sanfeng is really a god from the sky who has descended to earth, or will be able to ascend to immortality in the future. As a god, his status is of course higher than that of the imperial concubine. , it’s okay to salute.
Zhang Sanfeng himself had a rough idea of what she was thinking, but he still kept pushing back. But Xiyi didn't know whether it was because she was really grateful to Zhang Sanfeng, or whether it was something else and insisted on thanking Zhang Sanfeng, or whether it was because Yunxi felt that it was okay for them to always have a stalemate like this, so she tried to smooth things over. Just passed.
At this time, it was almost noon, and Yunxi asked Zhang Sanfeng to stay for a meal in the palace. Zhang Sanfeng was not willing, but Yunxi kept asking him to stay, and he did not dare to refuse, so he could only agree.
"Since my husband wants to entertain Zhang Zhenren, I and my sister have resigned." Xiyao said to him.
"Stay back." Yunxi agreed, and then said to her: "Tomorrow is the 15th, which is the day when you can meet your relatives. You can send someone to call Xiran to the capital to see you." Xue Xiran is now in the water. Since the teacher is a general, naturally he cannot stay in the city for a long time.
"Why, my husband wants to send troops to fight again? But which unsubmissive country in Nanyang is going to conquer?" Already.
"My husband has absolutely no intention of sending troops to fight. I just got news yesterday that many businessmen in Guangzhou who returned from Nanyang said that which vassal king seemed to want to fight, but no one made it clear. My husband has sent an envoy to Nanyang, but If any vassal king is determined to fight, it will probably be too late."
"It's fine if we win, but if we lose, the court can't sit idly by. At that time, we will at least send the navy to fight." At this point, Yunxi was also a little helpless. Although enfeoffment has advantages, it can be expanded at a lower cost. power, to protect the interests of overseas Ming merchants and expand the living space of Ming people, but of course there are also disadvantages, that is, these enfeoffed princes also have their own interests and will not completely obey the imperial court, and they can do so.
Under normal circumstances, the enfeoffed vassal kings should be responsible for their own profits and losses. If they lose, they lose. The court will not support them unless there is a disaster of destruction. However, in order to maintain the people's fear of the Ming Dynasty, Yunxi was unwilling to let the Ming Dynasty and these extended forces of the Ming Dynasty If the battle is defeated, at least the navy must be sent to regain the ground. In this way, the court will have to spend military expenses.
'No, if we really want to dispatch the imperial navy, the military expenses cannot be borne by the central government. The victors will not be condemned. I don't care if they win, but if they lose, the imperial navy will have to recover, and the military expenses will be borne by the central government. The vassal states that must cause trouble come out! They don't have to think about the imperial court to take care of the situation. They don't evaluate the balance of power between the enemy and us, and don't estimate the odds of victory. In that case, what do I do by enfeoffing them?" Yunxi said in his heart.
"The news we got yesterday?" Xiyao's focus was different from Yunxi's. She was nervous at first, but then she noticed this: "Did the Guangdong government report this to her husband?" It's unlikely. , the government has always done more things than less things, especially things that have nothing to do with itself, whether it is the Nanyang Navy stationed in Guangdong or Fujian, or the Chief Envoy of Guangdong, commanding envoys, or Baoan The shipping company should not be too busy.
"It's not the government of Guangdong. It is, that's all. You don't need to ask more. Remember to go back and see Xiran, otherwise you may not see him for several months." Yunxi hesitated, and finally gave instructions.
"Yes, husband, I know it." Seeing that Yunxi didn't say anything, Xiyao stopped asking, and left Qianqing Palace with Xiyi.
Yunxi called Lu Yi over again and told him to have the imperial kitchen prepare Zhang Sanfeng's meals.
Lu Yi agreed, took out another book, and said at the same time: "Guan family, all the gold and silver on the ships returning from the Hanzhou continent have been put into the official treasury. This is a memorial to Jin Shang."
Yunxi took the folder and opened it and looked at it. When he saw that the specific number of this batch of gold and silver was written on it, it was 30,000 taels of gold and 60,000 taels of silver. He couldn't help showing a happy expression on his face, and murmured in a low voice: "I feel more confident now."
He asked Lu Yi again: "When the gold and silver enter the city, can all the people see it?"
"This," Lu Yi didn't know since he didn't leave the palace today and didn't listen to the discussions of the guards in the palace. He thought about it and finally decided to tell the truth: "The official family, the servants don't know."
"Then send the guards to inquire!" Yunxi immediately ordered.
"Yes, official." Lu Yi agreed again. Seeing that Yun He had no other instructions, he bowed and left.
After they all left, Yunxi sat down again, asked Zhang Sanfeng to sit opposite him, and talked about the teachings of Taoism. Zhang Sanfeng was shocked and began to tell him about the teachings of Quanzhen Taoism. Although Yunxi now clearly showed his disinterest in As for Wudang's bias, emperors in the past dynasties have never supported one religion to destroy another. It is probably useless to expect Yunxi to destroy Buddhism, but it can make him more inclined to Quanzhen Taoism. Wudang is a little bit. So Zhang Sanfeng is very Let’s talk about the Quanzhen Tao in detail.
This said, the people from the imperial kitchen brought lunch. Yunxi hurriedly interrupted him and said: "Master Zhang, it is already noon at this time, and lunch has been prepared. Why not use it first?" After dinner, I will listen to the real person preach the Quanzhen Tao." At the same time, he thought to himself: "Is this the Quanzhen Tao taught by Zhang Sanfeng? Why is it different from what I have heard before? In addition to not talking about reincarnation after death, he still talks about ascension to the world. There is no difference between immortality and Buddhism.'
But what Zhang Sanfeng said is not important. What is important is that he stayed. After sitting down, Yunxi chatted with him while eating, and at the same time guided Zhang Sanfeng to talk about different topics. After they said that the Wudang Sect is now After managing the fields and buying and selling, Yunxi suddenly said: "Zhenzhen Zhang, I want to ask Zhenzhen for help." (To be continued)
