[Comprehensive] Intermittent complacency

Today, he came again.

The boss poked his head out from the kitchen and saw a young man sitting in front of the long table in the small shop, taking off his coat. When he looked up, he happened to see the boss, so he smiled at him.

"What do you want today?"

The young man laughed, "Didn't you say that yesterday, how about the sake?"

The boss stared at him for a while and said, "You just came of age?"

"It's already turned twenty." The young man chuckled twice, "There's also saury."

The boss nodded, "Today...do you have a story to listen to?"

Lou Bei has traveled through many times, but generally speaking, he has his own identity. He rarely encounters such things as replacing others.

But there is no guarantee that he will miscalculate one time and become a part of the pillars of the world-commonly known as a supporting role.

Lou Bei was sitting on the high throne in a daze, and could feel the cool breeze even more because of the baldness on the top of his head. He looked at the minister who was kneeling on the ground in front of him, and the two men standing with their fists folded, He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"Aiqing...what did you just say?"

"Your majesty, I think that the matter of returning Zhu Gege and others has to be discussed again. Although the fifth elder brother led someone to break into the clan's mansion, I feel that there must be a reason for the incident. Why don't the emperor take this opportunity to investigate thoroughly?" Said the man with the long, ancient and fairy-like face.

And another jade-faced scholar-like person also followed suit, "Your Majesty, although I am not as thorough as Mr. Ji, I still feel that the Emperor needs to investigate again, so as not to regret it in the future! Whether it is Huan Zhu Ge Ge or Wu Ah Brother, even the young master of the Fu family, they are all first-class people! If you lose it, your majesty will regret it!"

fart!

Lou Bei's conditioned reflex was violent, his eyes swept over the two people in front of him, and finally he had the identities of these two people in his mind, Ji Xiaolan and He Shen.

What kind of evil did this do to become Emperor Qianlong, or the Emperor Qianlong in Qiong Yao's drama, can he still be better!

Immediately feel that life is hopeless, okay?

Lou Bei looked at the people below blankly, and these ministers were all panicked because the emperor was so imposing today, and each of them poked their heads down to the ground, wishing that the emperor could not see him, everyone knew that Emperor Qianlong had a strange temper , I can't guarantee that I provoke him, it's a matter of losing my head!

They are not Ji Xiaolan and Shen!If there is something to do, those two guys will fight it!Love so and so!

After waiting for a long time, they heard their emperor's faint voice, "Well... Aiqing is right, then send someone to tell those people that I will not do anything to them, and take them back to Shufangzhai, together with That Ziwei golden lock is together, let me discuss it after a thorough investigation."

"Hey! Your majesty is wise!"

Lou Bei raised his eyes and saw a few courtiers quietly relieved below, such as Fu Lun.

He curled his lips inwardly, having such a troubled son, he must be worried every day!Qianlong here is blind, but he is not in Loubei, but he has no intention of punishing these little ghosts who want to go to heaven. He has always been a person who is worse than one thing. Sitting in a great country, he should take care of it. This is more important.

However, some things are not that if you don't provoke him, he will be alone.

For example, the queen, or the concubine Ling.

He slept soundly that night, when suddenly a burst of fatty breath penetrated into his nostrils, making Lou Bei's face darken on the spot.

He opened his eyes and looked at the gentle but inexplicably seductive woman in front of him, but he was talking to the eunuch at the door, "Wu Shulai, how did I explain to you? Can anyone break into my bedroom?"

"Your majesty, what are you talking about?" The woman covered her lips with a handkerchief and smiled, "The concubine is not someone else, as you said, the concubine can come to you anytime she wants."

Lou Bei: ... Qianlong, you did a good job! !

"Oh really?" Lou Bei was still lying down without getting up, his eyes swept across her face lightly, "Then you heard what I said now, don't stop ordering to come in from now on, my bedroom is now all No one is allowed to enter." He ignored the woman's instant aggrieved expression, and said to the door, "Wu Shulai, send Lingfei back home."

"Wait—" Concubine Ling couldn't hold back her expression, but she still tried her best to smile, "Your Majesty, this concubine has something to say..."

Lou Bei was feeling sleepy, feeling more and more impatient, "Is Ling Fei talking about returning the Pearl?"

Concubine Ling nodded in a daze.

"I have made my own decision. The concubine is virtuous and generous. I have read the admonition left by my ancestors. Women in the harem are not allowed to participate in politics. Do you know about this?"

Seeing the emperor uttering such words indifferently, Ling Fei turned pale and wanted to kneel down in fear, but was stopped by Lou Bei, "Okay, you go down, I just remind you, just pay attention in the future."

"...Yes. The concubine resigned."

To be honest, Lou Bei really feels sorry for the Qianlong of this world. The harem is a mess, and his own country and government are not well maintained. If his father Yongzheng knew that the achievements of his hard work for half a lifetime would just go to waste, he would probably be punished. Come alive?

Remember Qianlong in the official history, isn't it so unreliable? !

Lou Bei sighed helplessly, he really didn't want to clean up this mess for Qianlong, even if he did, he could only take care of one person, so definitely, he would choose the government, not the harem.

At this time, the custom of bad rules is too blatant and too terrible. Too many officials use the name of bad rules to collect money, which makes the officialdom corrupt.

The term corruption did not exist in the Qing Dynasty.Bad rules have existed as an unwritten custom for a long time. When doing things during festivals, colleagues or subordinates will give gifts to their superiors. This practice is actually no different from corruption.

Especially in the private sector, even if people evade taxes when paying taxes, they will make up for it all when the county magistrate starts collecting bad rules.

I don’t know when in the previous generation, there was a saying of fire loss in bad rules, because there was a loss when melting gold and silver, then these losses had to be compensated by more search from the people, which became the so-called fire loss.

This has increased the burden of people's lives even more.

But at this time, people don't have the awareness of "corruption", and everyone takes it for granted that bad rules are taken for granted. Then the so-called "searching for the people's fat and people's anointing" does not exist, but the people will think that the emperor governs No, blame it on the emperor himself.

Lou Bei said, "I can't bear it!"

But if he proposes to rectify the bad rules, the entire government will oppose it, not only the people in the court say that this thing is not allowed, even the county magistrate and others in the court think so.

Because since ancient times, the emperor has used the treasury to support people, and the treasury's financial constraints in this era cannot support the salaries of these people, so their money can only be obtained from bad rules.

Whether it is holding a birthday banquet for the emperor or the empress dowager, or promulgating policies for the people to build, in fact, most of them use bad rules. If this source is cut off, everything will be in vain.

Lou Bei saw it, but there was no way to solve it. He could only start with Huohao, give more benefits to the people, and simplify all activities such as birthday banquets by the way.

"It couldn't be better." He Shen agreed with this very much. He is not a greedy person, and the emperor's attention is not just for fun, he must do some practical things.

Lou Bei pondered for a long while, and said, "I think that our dynasty is developing very well, with abundant supplies and everything, so we should communicate with Yi Fang and communicate with each other."

Anyway, it was just a world of Qiongyao, so he could do whatever he wanted. With a swipe of his pen, Lou Bei issued an order to open the coastal ports for trade, completely breaking the remnants of the Ming Dynasty's maritime ban.

A large number of foreign merchants and goods entered the Qing Dynasty, bringing many strange things.

In this regard, Lou Bei was a little relieved, and finally he was able to watch something, but the harem was noisy every day, which was still annoying as always.

He hadn't cared about the bird for a long time, but he didn't expect a bunch of things to happen.

The queen thought that the emperor didn't care about the harem recently, it was all caused by Princess Huanzhu and her maids, and dealt with them very hard. It was to slap her in the face, so the queen couldn't understand those two folk princesses even more.

But the emperor always didn't go to the harem, and the concubines were in a hurry. It seemed that the emperor didn't want to have any more heirs, that is to say, among the existing heirs, the emperor already had a promising son.

Everyone's attention was focused on their adult sons, and the most outstanding one was the fifth elder brother. Now, the fifth elder brother suddenly felt that he was awesome, and began to act arrogantly.

When Lou Bei noticed, this kid had already done many terrible things.

Lou Bei twitched the corners of his mouth, looked at the two braided heads kneeling in front of him, "What... are you talking about?"

"Huang Ama! Erchen and Huanzhugege are really in love with each other! Please help Huang Ama!"

"My minister is also sincerely in love with Ziwei Gege! The mountain has no edge, and the heaven and the earth are united to dare to marry the king! Your Majesty, this minister will not marry unless she is the only one!"

Lou Bei: …………You guys get lost_(:3ゝ∠)_

He felt that what he, the emperor, might have done was also unqualified, and future generations would definitely say that his son and daughter were messing up. He really didn't do anything! ! !

blame you qaq

Gritting his teeth hard in his heart, Lou Bei waved his hand, yes.

A few months later, the whole world celebrates.

"The story ends here." The young man took a sip of his wine and let out a sigh of relief.

The boss looked at him for a while, "This story seems a little dull."

"……Maybe."

"But it's a person's life." The boss smiled, the scars on his eyes were very conspicuous, "If a person's life is spent doing meaningful things, how tiring it would be."

The young man also smiled, "You're right—but in fact, that person lived a very good life. He was well-clothed and well-fed, and he had everything he needed."

The boss quickly continued, "He only lacks the meaning of existence."

The young man was stunned, "Boss, you just said that you don't have to consider the meaning of doing things..."

"That's also on the premise that you understand why you do it." The boss took back the empty plate, "The why is the meaning of your existence."

"... Tomorrow I'm going to drink shochu! This sake is too bad!"

Boss: ...you choose!
