Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 14 Li Xin, what happened to you!

The first few lines of this big-character poster are all right. It's nothing more than a tragic incident of an unremarkable charcoal seller. Not to mention the whole world, even in this capital, I don't know how many people are going to die every day. The house, it is impossible to get into the eyes of the Son of Heaven.

   The problem is in the last two sentences.

  Because the emperor was hunting the northern mountains, he burned the place where the old man was curled up.

  The Son of Heaven is virtuous, and the old man froze to death in the North Mountain.

These two sentences,   , are already clearly criticizing the Son of Heaven.

When Emperor Chengde was looking at the big-character poster, the **** in red knelt down and said, "This thing was posted on the streets of the capital the night before yesterday. There were dozens of them in total. People have already been sent to collect these things, but some of them are still circulated..."

   At this time, the emperor only finished reading this big-character poster, he immediately frowned, and said, "Is it true?"

The **** kneeling on the ground is named Dong Cheng, the **** of Tianmujian. The "eunuch" here is actually a position. Each of the eight prisons in the imperial city has one **** and two junior prisoners, that is to say, the entire imperial city There are only eight eunuchs here, who are qualified to be called eunuchs.

Dong Cheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The slaves have already sent people to investigate. There is indeed a wooden house in Beishan for the people of Jingzhao Mansion to send people to burn. As for whether the Jingzhao Mansion has the holy name of His Majesty, the slaves have not yet. Check properly."

Emperor Chengde glanced lightly at the large-character poster with decent handwriting, and said indifferently: "The Jingzhao Mansion is probably done, otherwise the person who wrote this wouldn't dare to climb on my head for no reason. In the past few years, Li Ye has become more and more outrageous."

After Emperor Congwu of Da Jin opened up his territory, he ruled in the hands of the current Emperor Chengde, so this emperor's reputation has always been very good. Now that he is getting older, he cherishes his reputation even more. Even his favorite hunting, he only goes there every year. Once, to prevent gossip by those censors.

   Now such a thing has happened, which means that today's sage, in order to hunt in Beishan, burned down his people's houses, and forced his people to die in the cold winter and twelfth lunar month!

  A lot of things, as long as it doesn't make a big fuss, everything is easy to say, just like this matter, if there is no uproar, Emperor Chengde would not even take a look at it, but now this incident has spread in the capital.

   The Jingzhao Mansion at the foot of the emperor himself poured dirty water on his head!

The good mood of the Emperor of Jin was instantly disturbed, and he waved his hand impatiently: "Go check, check this matter inside and out, and let Jingzhao Mansion give it to me. A document to clarify this matter."

Having said this, the emperor paused, then held the big-character poster in his hand, and said solemnly: "The charcoal seller whose house was burnt down is pitiful, but the person who wrote this thing has a heart that can be punished. , after you go down, find this person to me and throw him in the Jingzhao Mansion to lock him up for ten or eight years!"

   Dong Cheng got up from the ground, bowed and said, "This servant will do it now."

  The matter has come to this point, and the Chengde Emperor has lost all interest. He said to a white-haired old **** behind him: "Go on, this year's hunting will not be done."

   Among the eight prisons in the inner city of the imperial palace, the one with the highest status is the inner eunuch, who is responsible for the affairs of the imperial city. The old **** standing behind the Chengde Emperor was the **** of the inner court, whose surname was Chen Mingju, who had been in the palace for more than 40 years.

  It is worth mentioning that the Great Jin Dynasty has been established for more than 100 years, but it was only more than 30 years ago that a generation of heroic emperor Wu worked hard and ruled the world.

   Even when Dong Cheng saw Chen Ju, he wanted to kowtow and call his godfather.

  Chen Ju knelt down, bowed his head and said, "Dong Cheng is ignorant, disturbing His Majesty's temperament, it is the old slave who has no way to discipline."

Emperor Chengde waved his hand: "He is in charge of Tianmu Supervisor, and what he does is this kind of thing, he can't be made to turn a blind eye to this kind of thing, it's good that I know it, or the people will stab me in the back in the future. Know."

  Chen Ju bowed his head and said, "The old slave will personally watch over this matter, and he will definitely give His Majesty an explanation."

  Emperor Chengde nodded, and didn't want to stay in the school grounds any longer, he turned and went back to his bedroom.

In this way, the originally calm capital city, because of Li Xin's humble big-character poster, began to become turbulent. In fact, Li Xin's original purpose was to slightly shock the Pingnan Houfu, so that they would no longer embarrass themselves, but this The matter has grown to a scale far beyond Li Xin's control under the operation of a caring person.

   However, Li Xin is still ignorant of everything. Because there is no source of income from Dayilou, he has recently begun to think about new ways to make money.

So, in his small yard, a small grill was set up. The grill was made of fire-resistant bamboo charcoal, and then there were pieces of mutton skewered with bamboo skewers. The mutton was brushed with a layer of sesame oil. , and then sprinkle a layer of salt and pepper, and after a while, a tempting aroma floats out.

   The charcoal girl sat next to Li Xin, hugging her knees, drooling all over the place.

These things, whether it is mutton, sesame oil, salt powder or pepper from the Western Regions, are not cheap things in this era, and the little girl has never eaten it. I took a bunch of them and handed them to the little girl.

   "Come, have a taste."

The little girl wiped her saliva, took the mutton kebab, took a careful bite, then stood up, trotted into the room, handed the mutton kebab to her grandfather's mouth, and said crisply: " Grandpa, this is delicious."

  This girl has always been very sensible. Li Xin was not surprised by this situation. He also picked up a bunch of mutton skewers and took a bite.

  Hmmm...Although it's not as delicious as those roadside stalls in the previous life, but the taste is almost 70% to 80% similar. With these, not to mention making a lot of money, at least the three of them can survive in the capital.

   After eating one bunch, Li Xin picked up another bunch and squinted to enjoy the long-lost taste.

   In fact, he came up with this thing, on the one hand, to make money, but on the other hand, to satisfy his appetite.

After eating two or three skewers, Li Xin looked back at the leg of lamb that he had spent a lot of money on. This leg of lamb was a little over four pounds. It cost him a whole lot of money, and it was estimated that he could make one hundred to one hundred and fifty skewers. A string of mutton skewers, plus the cost of sesame oil, pepper, salt, etc., a string of mutton skewers must be sold for at least ten cents before he can make money.

  Ten pennies...too expensive.

  Li Xin shook his head and prepared to be a profiteer, making the mutton skewers smaller.

   When he was thinking about how to make money, there was a sudden knock on the door of the courtyard. Li Xingang looked up at the door, only to hear someone at the door of the courtyard smiling brightly.

   "Li Xin, what happened to you!"

Li Xin was tense, thinking it was someone from Jingzhao Mansion who came to the door, he gritted his teeth and opened the courtyard door, only to find that it was not a policeman from Jingzhao Mansion standing at the entrance of the courtyard, but a young man in white. This young man looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was quite valiant. After seeing Li Xin open the door, the young man looked up and down at Li Xin, and then said with a smile, "You are Li Xin?"

  Li Xin bit his head and nodded, clasped his fists and said, "It's Li Xin below, may I ask you sir..."

   The young man in white had a smile on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sniffed and his complexion changed slightly.

   "What's this smell... so good!"
