Tang's dining table

On August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the anniversary of the death of Queen Wende on July 18th, the emperor who had visited Jinchangfang was preparing to visit Jinchangfang again.

On August 13, Jinchangfang had closed its market and began to reorganize its internal affairs in preparation for the arrival of the emperor and Wu Zhaoyi.

"This brick is loose. Pry it up and spread the sand to make it secure. Don't dare to trip His Majesty..."

"And this bamboo, it's so twisted and unsightly that it's unsightly. What bastard even carved curse words on it? Cut it off, cut it off."

"Yao Niang, you must remember that on the day Your Majesty comes, you must pass through this bamboo forest. Remember, you must lift the cover on the bamboo basket a little. If Your Majesty doesn't ask, you won't. Look back.

Remember, wear that water-red skirt. "

"Hu Laoqi, I'm old and can't remember things. You have to help them remember that on the day your Majesty comes, they, the old couple with white beards and white hair, must stand at the door of their house. Wait for His Majesty to salute His Majesty when he passes by.

This is what noble people like to see. Remember, when the two old people show up, they must be clean. On the first day, you can go to Erniu's bathhouse to rub themselves and get clean. "

Nowadays, Yun Chu doesn't need to worry about things in Fangshizi. After three years, he finally cultivated Liu Yi, a lump of wood.

The business of Jinchangfang was under the jurisdiction of Cui, and the people's livelihood was under the jurisdiction of Liu Yi. One of them was stingy, the other was greedy, but they made Jinchangfang prosperous.

Fishing out a leaf from the ditch and throwing it into a wooden box specially designed for garbage, Liu Yi planned to walk through Jinchangfang.

Although I don’t know which path His Majesty will take, the preparations must be done well and comprehensively.

The officials of Honglu Temple had said two days ago that His Majesty was coming to visit the canteen. Therefore, even if there were no guests, when His Majesty was coming, the cooks in the canteen would still prepare all the delicacies they had just prepared. Serve it up and show it to the emperor and the nobles.

It was extremely hot in Chang'an today, and there was not even a breath of wind. Liu Yi looked at the motionless windmill and immediately decided to send someone to tie up the oxen. When there was no wind, he let the oxen spin in circles to grind the beans on the stone mill underneath. By the way, let the windmill turn.

Looking at the water lilies in the lotus pond of Daci'en Temple blooming in the sun, Liu Yi looked at the lotus pond in Jinchangfang covered with dense lotus leaves and his teeth itched with hatred.

The water lilies at Daci'en Temple float in the water like lanterns placed on the water on the first day of the lunar calendar. Each of the eye-catching and fragrant flowers blooms at the top of the slender stems, floating or slightly protruding from the water.

Their flower shape is similar to that of a lotus, consisting of petals arranged in rounds, gradually shrinking from the outside to the inside, and turning into many slender yellow stamens in the center.

The colors of their flowers are not only white and pink, but also blue, yellow, red and transitional colors in between. The colors are so colorful that people are overwhelmed with joy, and they feel like Buddhas when they look at them.

The only lotus flowers in Jinchangfang are lotus flowers, the kind that hold the flowers up high with a thick thorny pole.

Nowadays, when the autumn wind gradually picks up, the lotus flowers have long been in bloom, and only a few late-growing lotus plants are still blooming. They cannot last more than a day. After all, many petals have fallen off. piece.

The county captain has always said that although the people of Jinchangfang have become wealthy, their personal image and quality have not kept up.

Compared with the Daci'en Temple, it is not good in any aspect, and it still smells of poverty and sourness everywhere.

The people at Daci'en Temple were very wicked and even used fences to encircle the water lilies to prevent people from Jinchangfang from digging them.

Liu Yi grabbed the railing and looked at the water lilies a few more times, and then a young novice monk hurried over and stared at him. These water lilies were treasures specially brought from Tianzhu by an eminent monk from Tianzhu, and they could not be stolen by thieves from Jinchangfang.

Liu Yi took out a half-eaten meatloaf from his arms and handed it to the young monk and said, "Have you had your meal, young master?"

The young novice monk looked at Liu Yidian with disdain and said, "I don't want you to eat the remaining meat pie. The master said that the Buddha lotus is not given to outsiders."

Liu Yi smiled and waited for the young monk to come closer, then he grabbed the monk's robe, stuffed the meat pie into the young monk's mouth without any reason, and threatened: "Your master is a monk who does not eat meat. Now, you eat meat. You can no longer be a little monk."

Tears welled up in the eyes of the young novice monk. He tried hard to break free from Liu Yi's restraints. He knelt on the ground with his hands clasped together and began to recite "Amitabha" continuously to repent of his sins.

Liu Yi once again stood across the railing, eating his meat pie, and whispered: "Little monk, look around here, there are only two of us. If you dig a few Buddha lotus trees for me, I promise not to follow the big ones." The monk told you about eating meat. If you want to eat meat in the future, I will secretly give it to you."

The young monk wanted to cover his ears, but he still firmly clasped his hands together, knelt there and continued to repent.

Liu Yi finished the last bite of the meat pie and continued to say to the young monk: "I will go and tell Zhi Ke Monk now that you have eaten meat, so you should grab my meat pie to eat."

More tears flowed from the little novice's eyes.

Liu Yi whispered: "How about you give me a lotus root from the Buddha Lotus?"

The young novice monk whispered: "The Buddha lotus does not have lotus roots, only lotus seeds."

"Lotus seeds?" Liu Yi stretched his neck to look at the Buddha lotus pond, but did not see the lotus pods.

"The lotus seeds are in the water, not on the water."

"Then, just give me some lotus seeds, and I won't say anything about you snatching my meatloaf and keeping it in your stomach."

The little novice monk obviously wanted to cry, but he held it back with strength. He picked up his robe and lay down on the edge of the lotus pond. He took out a few round lumps from the water and threw them to Liu Yi. Then he burst into tears.

Liu Yi happily played with the Buddha lotus bulbs for a while. Miss Naha must like such a good thing very much. She can first get a lotus tank, plant this thing, give it to Naha, and wait for the next year to produce seeds. Just replace all those bitches in the lotus pond of Jinchangfang.

In this way, the county captain will no longer laugh at Jinchangfang's lack of temperament.

Pei Xingjian walked up and down the floor melancholy, while Su Dingfang, who was sitting on the soft couch, was shaking a cattail leaf fan, looking relaxed and at ease.

"Teacher, do you really not have to bear any consequences for Yun Chu's wanton behavior?"

Su Dingfang smiled and said, "What did he do wrong? Or tell me, where did he go overboard?"

Pei Xingjian frowned and said: "To kill the head with a stick, to fire the fast officer, to kill the yamen servant, to force the prisoner to death, to hang the corpse of a subordinate official in demonstration, all of which are not the actions of a gentleman."

Su Dingfang looked at his anxious disciple and said: "The evidence is conclusive and the evidence is conclusive. He should have been killed. Come on, the government servants worked together to oppress good people. It is his power as a county captain to be expelled. It is amazing. A few more people were dismissed at one time, but this was still within their scope of authority.

Inspecting money and grain depots, supervising people's livelihood matters, what is not the responsibility of this county captain?

Those who died had embezzled Wannian County's money and food and usurped the interests of the soldiers. Even if they didn't hang themselves, they would still be dead.

Keep your promise, you don't know these truths. You hate why you didn't use such methods when you took over Chang'an County, right? "

Pei Xingjian lowered his head and said, "It's not that I didn't think about it at the time."

Su Dingfang shook his head and said, "Are you worried about your reputation and being labeled a cruel official?

In fact, it is not too late for you to do these things now, but you are worried that others will say that you are taking advantage of others, right? "

Pei Xingjian seemed to have been shocked by an electric shock. He lowered his head and said, "I'm really not as good as Yunchu."

Su Dingfang laughed and said, "You are much better than Yun Chu."

Pei Xingjian smiled bitterly and said, "Teacher, you are blaming your disciple."

Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "What I told you is the truth. Both Yinggong and I are waiting for the day when Yun Chu capsizes."

"Capsizing? He is taking every step very carefully now. He can be said to be careful every step of the way. The possibility of capsizing is too low."

Su Dingfang chuckled and said, "Tell me, why do you think Yun Chu's behavior is ungentlemanly?"

Pei Xingjian said: "He pays too much attention to the essence of things, that is to say, he omits the intermediate joints of the development of the situation. It is not beautiful!"

Su Dingfang laughed and said: "That's right, it's the word "unbeautiful". Not only do you think it's not beautiful, but also my father-in-law, I, and even this old man Liang Jianfang think it's not beautiful.

Now, coming back to the topic, why is it not beautiful without the middle joint? What kind of people do things that make you feel this way? "

"What my disciple thinks is not beautiful is that Yunchu doesn't do things smoothly and is too practical. The last person who gave me this feeling was Shang Yang.

In the end, everything Shang Yang did was obviously done in accordance with the laws of Qin, but in the end, it was Shang Yang who was quartered by five horses.

He turned Qin from weak to strong, allowed Qin to seize the fertile fields of Wei, and laid the foundation for a strong Qin for the First Emperor to unify Liuhe.

One person benefits the entire Qin State, but in the end only hurts himself. Teacher, do you think Shang Jun is a lesson learned from the past for Yun Chu? "

Su Dingfang shook his head and said: "Yun Chu is a wiser person than Shang Jun, and he is also a much smoother person than Shang Jun.

He vigorously cleared out those useless people in Wannian County, not because he didn't know how to act slowly, but just to test how far we old people could tolerate him.

When he discovered that we had not detected the bottom line of our attitude towards him, you can see that he immediately gave up his domineering style.

If I read it right, all the subordinates in Wannian County will fall in love with him.

Although I don’t know how he can achieve this without compromising public wealth and private interests, I still insist that he will unify Wannian County into a monolithic unit in the shortest possible time. "

Pei Xingjian sighed and said: "I always envy the handsome man in the world..."
