Feng Xing

Chapter 159:

In November of the 37th year of Jianping, Feng Sheng gave birth to the only small lord of the Wei Dynasty.

At that time, it was mid-winter, and there was heavy snow outside. Feng Sheng took the name of Ruixue.

This was the first daughter of Feng Sheng and King Wei, and the daughters they had been waiting for for a long time. They were also sisters of Brother Ge and Brother Ge who had been chattering for a long time.

It was completely different from Brother Sheng and Brother Ying. With Xiao Ruixue going one day at a time, Feng Sheng thought how his daughter felt like himself, but King Wei was against it. He thought his daughter was like himself.

It's a pity to come to Feng Sheng on this topic, it's doomed not to talk, because the two will always fight for it.

Unexpectedly, when he was hugging in the palace during the New Year, the emperor concubine said that Ruixue was like herself.

This year, the Forbidden City was more deserted than in previous years. After King Wu went out of Beijing to gain control of the province, King Zhao, King Xiang, King Qi, and King An were all given the enclave, and if they went out of Beijing, they won the rule.Although King Wei has not been crowned as the prince, but Jingzhong has left him a prince, already a crowned uncrowned king.

Chaotang ushered in unprecedented calm. After entering February, King Wei left Beijing again to Fujian to complete his unfinished business.

This time, not only did he go alone, but he also brought his wife and daughter. Brother Ge and Ying were kept in Beijing.

Two sons will be left. One is to consider that Brother Er will still study, and Brother Na is also at the age of enlightenment. Second, he is afraid that the Emperor Concubine is alone in the palace. Without a son or daughter-in-law, grandchildren will always stay with them.

In fact, the Queen Concubine still wanted to leave Ruixue, thinking that her little granddaughter was too young, and went out with her father and mother to suffer, but had already left two, and then left the little granddaughter, Wei Wang was probably unwilling.

Feng Sheng and King Wei came to Fujian in this way, a place facing the sea.

This place has suffered countless sufferings because of the sea, but it is also because of the sea, a place that is especially prosperous and prosperous.

In the former dynasty, because the imperial court repeatedly banned the sea, Fujian also experienced many ups and downs.In the big week, although the imperial court did not ban the sea in plaintext, the imperial court's attitude towards the sea was still cautious because of the Japanese pirates and some other issues.

This trip of King Wei came to Fujian, apparently in the name of the Hutong Tonghai Qingli Division. In order to preside over the purchase of grain from overseas, in fact, it was to eliminate several shipping companies and rectify the court’s foreign trade. Matters.

This may not seem difficult at first glance, but if you consider the local sea merchants and the collusion between those officials and businessmen, you know that it is not so easy.

In the past, the imperial court had not thought about rectification, but it all ended up because of such a situation. Since the Emperor Jianping made up his mind to change this time, he must naturally start with the most fundamental.

But what is the most fundamental?

In this regard, King Wei was not in a hurry. Instead, he put up the shelves of Tonghai Qingli, while releasing the court’s intention to purchase grain from overseas for a long time, and planned to arrange this errand to some powerful big businessmen to do the news. Let go.

After the news was released, some businessmen with insightful business opportunities all came one after another, but this is only a small part. Most capitalized businessmen still hold a wait-and-see attitude.

Unexpectedly, something happened to King Wu in the middle of Beijing, and King Wei was accused of returning to Beijing.The momentum that started at the beginning was not bad, because the incident cooled down, and all businessmen thought that the court was deliberately playing with them. Several particularly active businessmen also suffered from the humiliation of their companions.

Therefore, when King Wei returned to Fujian from Beijing again, the progress at the beginning was not satisfactory.

Originally, the local merchants were stingy and secretly spurned by the courts and even the court officials.Frustration is a last resort. After all, if they want to do a good job, they can't do without the support of these officials and with one eye closed.

The scorn is their daily changes and turning their faces like turning books. As for why these officials are like this, most businessmen have the same answer.

For the benefit.

Therefore, the court has no credibility in the eyes of businessmen, and even squeezes their living space. Because of the high tariffs and the attitude of the corpse meal, many of them prefer to smuggle in the black road rather than with the company. Officials deal with.

In the end, the king of Wei, through Chen Hao and other small businessmen, set off the first shot of Tonghai Qingli.

As long as you get the qualifications from the Tonghai Qingli Secretary, you can freely enter and exit the customs through the door of the municipal shipping department. Although you are also required to pay taxes, you do not need to pay two taxes.

The so-called two-tax tax refers to the officials of the municipal shipping department who cleverly collect tariffs to fill personal pockets, and collect one when they go overseas. The name is called the head tax and the shipping tax. When the merchants return from overseas, it is another tax.

This tax is heavy, and it is calculated according to the goods brought back, and it is divided into two kinds of thick and thin colors.

The thin color refers to the more expensive goods, and the thick color refers to the general goods, which are ten or three (not certain, depending on the situation), and ten.

Judging only by the rough color, the goods that have been transported back from overseas are arduously sold and must be supplied at least 20% before being sold ashore.These two percentages are whether you lose money or not, and it is no wonder that those businessmen would rather smuggle than pass the shipping department.Even after passing the shipping agency, it is still taking the dark path, that is, buying the officials of the shipping agency, giving some benefits to the individual officials, and allowing the other party to open the back door to clear the customs.

This situation is the most, fattening each other, but harming the interests of the court.

These inner feelings were also known to King Wei after he came to Fujian after some secret understanding.With the purchase of grain this time, he revised the tax law of the Secretary of Tonghai.

The two taxes are changed to one, instead of looking at the people, only the goods. After the goods arrive at the port, whether they are in or out, they need to be checked by the officials of the Qing Dynasty.

Sampling not only checks the goods, but also checks whether there are things such as entrained weapons, copper, and population that the court forbids to go to sea.After the random inspection of the goods, the tax shall be collected according to the number of random inspections.

And the thickness of the two colors was clearly identified, and the publicity was posted outside the door of the Qinghai government office in Tonghai.

This move ushered in praise from many businessmen.

Without him, because the thickness and thickness were never clearly defined, the random inspections depended on the mood of the officials responsible for the random inspections at that time.In other words, he is in a bad mood today, saying that your thick color is a thin color, so you have to admit more taxes.

Generally businessmen are reluctant to offend these people. After all, the cargo of this ship may be their entire net worth, which can not be delayed, nor neglected, even if they are wronged and humiliated.

The action of the Tonghai Qingli Secretary is equivalent to putting an end to such occurrences in the future.

This idea was also given by Feng Sheng to King Wei, and it was also her thoughts when she was a teacher in Taizhou.

Many people are not really stupid and ignorant, but many low-level officials’ corpse meal is not clear enough to be issued by the court decree, and the execution is not thorough enough, so that there will always be many errors in the middle, causing the people to fear that officials will not dare to enter the government, and those who are corrupt officials In order to facilitate the conduct of the campaign, it is simply ambiguous and perfunctory.

Today, with white paper and black characters written, few people who can go to sea and do business are illiterate, and have the courage to be big enough.

It took Wang Wei a whole year to start the name of Tonghai Qingli.

Nowadays, there is no need to go through the shipping company, as long as you have a pass issued by the Tonghai Qingli Secretary, you can pass through unimpeded.However, when the goods enter the port, they need to be escorted to the place designated by the Qinghai Department of Officials for random inspection and tax payment.

This is equal to the fact that the Tonghai Qingli bypassed the local shipping company directly, and all the officials of the shipping company panicked immediately.At the beginning of the first arrival of King Wei, they were unfamiliar with the local conditions of King Wei, they violated Yang Yang and Yin, and persevered again and again, trying to fish in the muddy water.

Who would have thought that King Wei didn't say anything in front of him, what to do if he turned his head, and even slammed the signature of Tonghai Qinglisi under their eyelids. During the countless fights, they swallowed violently. Countless dumb losses.

Nowadays, the Tonghai Qingli Secretary has done a lot of things, and the King of Wei has already told the imperial court that he intends to shut down the city's shipping company and set up the Tonghai Qingli Secretary.

This time, it was equivalent to smashing everyone's rice bowls, and I couldn't allow them to panic.

In fact, the idea of ​​Wei King's fight is also very clear. Since the shipping department has been decaying, aging, and not listening to the orders, it is better to break up the reconstruction.It's as if the minions are disobedient, just change one directly, so there is not much nonsense.

With the absolute overwhelming strength, King Wei taught the officials of the city's shipping companies to be human.All this is naturally inseparable from the court, and the correct one should be the support of Emperor Jianping.

Since the imperial court had undergone a major cleansing last year, Emperor Jianping's methods have changed a lot, becoming more vigorous and more powerful than before, and telling Zhaoye inside and outside that he must do whatever he wants, and he must succeed.

An aspiring monarch with ideas, means and ambitions is naturally worse than a monarch who is ignorant of political affairs, but he has to say that such a monarch, for such a prosperous and prosperous world, is actually full of holes. More beneficial.

With the support of Emperor Jianping, King Wei was unstoppable. After clearing the shipping company in Fujian, he went to Hangzhou, Quanzhou, Guangzhou and other places.

Even so, he spent a full five years.

Almost non-stop, there was no moment of free time. During this period, Feng Sheng also took Xiao Ruixue to follow Wei Wang to the north and south. In the middle, they only returned to Beijing, and did not stay for too long before leaving Beijing again.

Naturally it is hard work, even in the face of some crises during the period, but the husband and wife spend their time together, and it naturally turns danger into danger.In addition to Feng Sheng's spare time, he also acted as the right and left hand of King Wei, and made plans for him to make up for the vacancies.

After finally biting the hard bone of Guangzhou, including King Wei, he could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

He looked at his wife who had been through many storms with him, only to find that he was inadvertently older.For a time, compassion swelled up, promised Feng Sheng to stay here, and took her and Ruixue to the mountains and water.

But at this time, a secret message arrived unexpectedly, bringing bad news.

Emperor Jianping's body was in danger and called the King of Wei to return to Beijing quickly.

The husband and wife were surprised and needless to say that they couldn't even pack their bags, so they rushed to the capital at night.

When King Wei and Feng Sheng returned to Beijing, the entire Forbidden City fell into a downturn.

In fact, the dragon body of Emperor Jianping has long been bad, and years of hard work have brought huge hidden dangers to his dragon body, but he has been supporting it.

"...His dragon's body has been in trouble for a long time, so he only used thunder to eliminate the Huiwang Party... He had wanted to do this for a long time, and he has been dragging for all kinds of reasons. It is easy to throw away all the burdens, and his character does not allow him to give up halfway." Huang Guifei pressed her lips tightly, her face could not be distinguished between joy and sorrow.

Feng Sheng just remembered that when he returned to Beijing to see the Empress Concubine, she felt a little haggard. As a daughter-in-law, the Emperor Concubine said that people are getting old, and they always sleep well at night, so she should not worry, and she didn't care about it. .

Perhaps at that time, the Emperor and the Concubine knew everything, but kept hiding from them.

As for why it's being concealed?

Obviously, Emperor Jianping didn't want King Wei to be distracted, he didn't want him to shake his morale because he cared about his dragon's body, and wanted him to do it all in one go.

"Okay, don't worry too much. Most of the people in the hospital are guarding here. If you travel a long distance, you should take a rest and rest again. Even if your father is really bad, it won't be so fast. I still Guard here." As he said, the Emperor Guifei looked back at Emperor Jianping, who was in a coma on the Long couch.

Ever since Emperor Jianping fell into a coma and was awake for a long time, the emperor's concubine has been staying in the Qianqing Palace and has not been out, staying here.

"Mother..." Feng Sheng hesitated.

"Go quickly, don't worry about me." Huang Guifei said.

Feng Sheng can only go with King Wei, and the two did not leave the palace, but went to Xianfu Palace where the imperial concubine lived.

Here, the two met their sons who hadn't seen them for almost two years. Zong Min has now become a young boy, and Zong Wan has grown up.

More than six years passed by, and when I looked back, I realized that time passed so fast.

The family simply said something, and they didn’t even bother to celebrate the family’s long-term reunion. The fall of Emperor Jianping was like a heavy weight on everyone’s heart.

He is the emperor Jianping, he is diligent in loving the people, he is a man of great strength, he is invincible, he may be unpredictable, but he gives people a sense of stability as if it is Taishan. It seems that no matter what happens, as long as you look back, he is everywhere.

But now the mountain is going to fall.

Until this time, King Wei still had a feeling of dreaming.

"Don't think too much, the father and emperor are really old." Feng Sheng persuaded.

Silently, King Wei said, "These years are the most reassuring years in my decades. I don't need to think about anything. I just need to bury my head and do the errands. I don't have to be afraid of being stabbed from behind. There is no need to look forward and backward, because I know that the father emperor will support me, which is also what he wants to do.

"Since I was sent to Jiangnan in the past, I have experienced too much and seen too much in these years. For the dragons and phoenixes like us, Jiangshan seems to be right and proper, and we don’t need to spend too much on it. Because of our natural supremacy over everyone, as long as we can take the position of Chu Jun, this world will be ours.

"But what is it like in this world, and how to control it, we never know. We don't know how much people will harvest on an acre of land and how much will be handed over to the court. Geometry, I don’t know the seemingly unseemly salt that everyone will eat, but there is such a big evil hidden in it.

"I don't know if we are overseas, we haven't been the country that made Wanbang come to Korea, and other countries have already surpassed us. I thought there would be enough time for us to go out and play in the mountains for a while. , And then come back to do other things, but suddenly found out that there is no time."

Feng Sheng was silent.

She and husband and wife have been married for decades, but this is the first time she has seen such a king.Perhaps this is the emperor Zhang Huang who will face the sudden collapse of the spiritual pillar?

There is no way to persuade such a thing. She can only sit there quietly with him, let him slowly settle down, and accept this reality.

Dewang's voice broke the silence, and his voice was terrified, and it seemed to be ominous.

"His Royal Highness, Princess Huang called you to go to the Qing Palace quickly, Your Majesty is not good..."

When the two rushed to Ganqing Palace with their children, and before they entered the Ganqing Gate, they heard bursts of crying inside.

King Wei walked in slowly, and Feng Sheng led the three children.

Into the bedroom, except for the kneeling on the ground are all minions, from a distance saw the figure of the Emperor Concubine lying on the dragon couch.

She knelt in front of the dragon couch, her head down, her face still buried in the palm of Emperor Jianping, and she lay like that quietly without moving.

I don't know how long it has passed, until Feng Sheng couldn't help but want to call her, and Huang Guifei suddenly straightened her waist and turned back.

Feng Sheng had never seen her before.

"Your father and his emperor, the mountain collapsed..."

"Mother princess!"

The whole country mourned, and overnight the Forbidden City was flooded with layers of white.

There were cries everywhere, even when they were far away, and there were still cries in their ears.

Zong Yue became the emperor emperor step by step, held a funeral ceremony for the first emperor, drafted a posthumous title for it, and was enthroned under the repeated persuasion of the group officials.

After the funeral ceremony was completed, Zong Yue also lost a full circle, and the Forbidden City, like him, did not slow down and fell into a continuous downturn.

During this period, the imperial concubine was named the Queen Mother of the Virgin and took the position of the Queen Mother. Feng Sheng’s edict was also released, and she waited for the ceremony to arrange the closing ceremony.

From winter to spring, the earth radiates infinite vitality, and the Forbidden City is also like a patient who has been ill for a long time, and gradually has a color.

It was a commonplace thing to fill the harem after the establishment of the post, but Zong Yue thought that he had refused for the first emperor Shou Xiao for three years.

In fact, the courtiers have been able to understand it for so many years. His majesty is a full-feared wife like a tiger. He was still the king of Wei. He has been married to Queen Fang for more than 20 years. He has never received a concubine. No, can it be changed because it is now an emperor?

Obviously impossible.

And this queen is not good, and his ingenuity is not inferior to men.Over the past few years, the two kings of Wei have done some things outside. Although the courtiers did not see it with their own eyes, they also saw it through examples of people around them.

Who would offend such a queen?At that time, I don’t know how to die.

So Zong Yue pushed the front foot, and the ministers who wrote the book did not say much, just like a pair of'I am a courtier, I have to fulfill my duties as a courtier, and since your majesty does not appreciate it, the courtier does not waste much tongue. 'Posture.

But in this way, it has saved a lot of things for Zong Yue and Feng Sheng, so as not to have to fight wisely for this kind of thing, it is really boring.

Feng Sheng's identity change has also affected her life.

In the past when I was a princess, I could close the gate of the palace and live my own life.

What is after a country?Is the mother of the country, is the example of the world's women.

Everyone knows that Fang Queen Yufu is right, and she is also resourceful, and extraordinary women can compare, so the number of desperate women who found the emperor afterwards gradually made more decisions.

From a certain adult who favored his concubine and wiped out his wife, to a certain grandfather who overstayed his concubine, all in all, the East is short.

Although the East and West are not ordinary people, but since they are involved in family matters, they are nothing more than the ruins of those who shit.Feng Sheng couldn't hide, he could only help himself to make ideas, while listening to some interesting anecdotes in Beijing.

These seem trivial, but in fact they are not useless. At least when Zong Yue investigates an official, he can hear some private things from Feng Sheng and help Zong Yue several times.

Zong Yue said that when he first became an emperor, he was ambitious and full of ambitions. Now he is crushed by the mountain-like government day after day, and he has tasted the sweet and bitterness of it. Not old, but early born Huafa, it turned out to be worrying.

Although the husband and wife are in different situations, the situation is surprisingly similar.Occasionally, I was free, and Zong Yue did not complain about Feng Sheng, such as words that the emperor was really not human.

He also said that let Zong Min grow up quickly, and when he can stand alone, he abdicated to his son and took Feng Sheng to the world.

Of course, this is just a talk, but in recent years it is unthinkable.

(End of full text)

The author has something to say: Finally it is over.

I said this sentence with extreme guilty conscience, and this book was written intermittently. In the middle, because of Calvin, something wrong at home, and another book always changed, I was disappointed by many parents.

With some concluding remarks, in my imagination, this book should be completed after the reign of King Wei. After all, there are still many things after the reign, but that is also a later thing. Zong Yue and Feng can be expected Sheng will never give up, after all, the relationship between the two is determined very early.

I am thinking twice about trading with foreign countries, and I haven't written them in detail.The background of this article is a combination of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and if the sea is to be written in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the left is just around the emperor, officials, sea merchants, pirates (sea pirates), and people.

I once wrote in the "Family Supporter" that Xue Tingyan came to Ningbo, Zhejiang as a young official, and made a lot of contributions to the ban on the sea. Many wonderful stories happened.But as a future emperor, King Wei, I think it is not easy to unfold.

In fact, it is not difficult to expand, but the overwhelming advantage brought by the identity, so that the wins and losses between each other are obviously less for guessing, so there must be less fun and interest, so it is simplified.

In fact, during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, especially in the Ming Dynasty, there were too many stories on the sea. I once specifically looked for information in this area and conducted some in-depth understanding. I particularly like the background of this world.Maybe I will try a similar story at sea in the future, but I will not go to the writer to write the lord, maybe I will change the angle, such as a big pirate or a female pirate or something, but that will be the future.

Speaking of which, my only emotion is that I will never open again, and double opening will kill people, and thank you for the prosperity that you have been chasing down. I am ashamed of you, and I will never do that again.

Regarding Fanwai, I actually thought of Fanwai writing stories about Emperor Guifei and Emperor Jianping. After all, I really like these two people. I think they can write a lot of things, but because I couldn’t resist taking this stalk alone. A book-"Mao Chong", so it can only be stranded, if you are curious, you can go to the Cmao.

As for the children, to be honest, I don’t like to write about the children. Maybe it’s because I wrote too much, or maybe I always think that the children’s stories are actually separated from the stories of the male and female, and it’s better to leave blank. Suitable for deep excavation.

Oh, love you.
