Chapter 63 Wait for me to conquer the world
The sun is shining brightly, reflecting the red walls and green tiles.
Although the Liu Kingdom is small, it has only one county and a population of 500,000. However, it has been accumulated over a thousand years and is extraordinary. The palace is built in a profound and magnificent manner, with painted pillars and carved beams everywhere, which is beautiful.
The brackets of Guixin Hall span eight zhang, and the dome is five zhang away from the ground. The house is empty, and the voice of speaking seems dull.
An old man with a white beard and tall crown took a sip of tea, frowned and put down the cup, and said:
"The old minister heard that the princess was preparing to issue a decree to prohibit the rice from leaving the city and the officials from moving."
Liu Ruofei smiled slightly, picked up the teacup on the desk, used the lid to gently pluck the foam, took a sip, and asked something irrelevant.
"The Prime Minister of China is not used to drinking tea?"
The old man didn't expect that when discussing the grand plan of Jingguo, the princess would mention the trivial matter of mung beans and sesame seeds. Her expression couldn't help but stagnate and she replied in displeasure:
"People in the mountains lack oil, salt, beans, powder, ginger and garlic, soak tea leaves to quench their thirst. Although the Liu Kingdom is small, it is a rich place and a land of fish and rice. The princess supervises the country and is busy with everything he wants. If he treats himself so harshly, wouldn't he be laughed at by the world? He said that the Liu Kingdom is poor and barbaric, and the princess has to eat tea..."
Another old man with a white beard solemnly straightened his head and interrupted:
"The Prime Minister Gao said this is a bad thing... At the beginning of a person, he ate in the wind and dew, and ate raw meat and blood. What's ridiculous? The princess gave up delicious food and took coarse food, which was an example for the Chinese people. In the midst of the country, we should forge ahead, be frugal and brave. What's more, the wind of tea was spread from poor places such as China, where the world was scarce, and the wealthy families and monks began to love it..."
"Hmph, Li Jijiu, you are always frugal. Do you know what kind of tea the monks drink? It's spiritual tea, a few taels of silver a cup."
On the surface, it is a dispute over tea, but in fact it is a dispute over customs and a policy dispute over how to get along with Yue Kingdom.
Li Zheng said coldly:
"Gao Guo Prime Minister, don't you just think that Liu and Yue are in the same territory. Since they drink Lecha to remove moisture, we should follow suit, right?"
The Prime Minister Gao Yuan did not answer directly, and he beat him up and sneered:
"Li Daji, I heard that your daughter and son-in-law were in trouble when they saw that Liu State was in trouble, and immediately took some gold, silver and fine materials and ran away without a trace. You are alone, how can you set an example for the Chinese people and how can you forge ahead?"
Li, the Imperial College Priest, said:
"The son-in-law is the son-in-law, and Li is Li. Since he vowed to live and die with Liucheng, he would never live in vain..."
Gao Yuan hummed, "My mouth is right and wrong."
Li Zheng retorted and said, "Li's words and deeds are the same, unlike some people who are generous and heroic. He has long secretly established industries in other countries in private..."
Gao Yuan was furious and glared at Li Zheng and cursed loudly:
"You old man, you swear..."
Enough!
Liu Ruofei stood up suddenly, slapped the table with her palm, and her pink face was filled with evil spirits.
The teacup that had just been put down jumped a few times and rolled down to the ground. Fortunately, the floor tiles were covered with thick embroidery mattresses, so they did not break.
A clever little palace maid quickly stepped forward to clean up the teacup and wiped the table.
Two palace maids with swords on their backs flashed out quickly after two thick pillars. Seeing that nothing big happened, they disappeared quietly, like two shadows.
The two old men lowered their heads and fell silent.
Liu Ruofei pointed at them one by one and scolded him sternly:
"You can see what it looks like... What kind of morality is the important ministers of the country quarreled in the palace? Humph, do you think Ruofei is young and unable to bear the responsibility? This country has only been in the ten days of being supervised, and he wants to give him a warning?"
The two old men quickly stood up, bowed and said in fear:
"I dare not."
Liu Ruofei's eyes were slightly darker and covered with heavy makeup, which seemed much more mature than her actual age. Her cloudy hair was tall and her eyebrows were raised, making her more majestic.
"Although tea is a little biting, tasting tea is like tasting life. I dare to assert that in decades, eating tea will become drinking tea, tasting tea, and no longer add any ingredients. For example, how to eat in Yue, even a rich family poured a spoonful of boiling oil, which is the real vulgar style and wasted natural resources. Then it is not called tea, it is a flavored snack.
"My Liu Kingdom is like this tea. It is bitter and then sweet, and it will surely be popular for thousands of years. Being ridiculed now is nothing. In the future, you will be reborn in the fire and will be famous for all the time. You are a strong official, and you think that if Fei is young and does not understand the state affairs, your sincere heart can be seen. But if you don't have the order, you can leave your old age.
"Inside and outside the city, many people have two hearts and compete to escape. But they don't know that we will wipe out the world in the future, and this royal city will never have their place to stand.
"A few years ago, the recruitment order was issued, but no real person came. Several immortal masters came, just like serving their ancestors. As a result, they had good food and drink, and when they saw the disaster was coming, they wiped their mouths and ran away. In the end, only the child masters were still sticking to it. Those people were afraid of getting angry, but they didn't know that one day they would not be qualified to meet this palace."
To wipe out the world?
Tsk tsk...
This is no longer a joke!
Anyone who says this will be considered crazy.
The tone was so big that even if four superpowers joined forces, and the Taoist Buddhist Sect, they would not dare to say it. What's more, Liu Ruofei was just a princess of a small country that was about to be destroyed.
The two old men were puzzled, and thought about it again and again, which was attributed to the child's impulse and nonsense.
Gao Yuan coughed a few times and cleared his throat carefully, carefully bypassing the crazy topic of Pingtianxia, and said:
"The old minister has short-sighted eyes... However, letting those who want to leave are allowed to carry private money is a national policy set half a year ago. The orders are changed every day, and I am afraid that people will not accept it."
"Sit down."
Liu Ruofei waved her hand and slowly sat down, saying:
"Our father passed away, and the palace was responsible for the country. The palace was determined by the government. Yue State was about to be invaded. If food was allowed to leave the city, wouldn't it be digging his own grave? Officials received the favor of the country and enjoyed glory. If they escaped during the national crisis, their hearts could be punished and their actions should be killed. Ordinary elders worked hard all their lives and would never stop them."
"This... the old minister obeys the order."
Gao Yuan pondered for a while and asked again:
"The body of the immortal master is invincible with cold and heat, and evil charm is easy. The child master occasionally gets sick, I wonder if it is important?"
Liu Ruofei smiled slightly and said:
"The country is concerned about the minister, and the teacher of the child has recovered."
Li Zheng stood up and bowed and said, "I have a memorial."
Liu Ruofei waved her hand and smiled and said, "Jijiu is Ruofei's teacher, so there is no need to be polite."
Li Zheng did not sit and said:
"According to the princess's law, the Imperial College stopped teaching. Half of the scholars were stranded in the study hall. Today, they gathered and made noises, writing blood books to fight. If they forced them to drive them away, they would be afraid that the cold would be lost."
"Jijiu thought, what should we do?"
"I think that 15 students from Yue Kingdom should be driven away, and staying in the city may become a hidden danger."
Liu Ruofei shook her head and said with a smile:
"The population of Yue Kingdom is forty times that of me, and I will definitely raise upright soldiers and will not rely on a few scholars to cooperate with each other. Since I refuse to leave, don't drive them away and treat them well."
Li Zheng was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and agreed, yes.
