Work overtime

There are thousands of group meetings in the world, half of which are about assigning tasks, and the other half of which are about allocating money.

Although it is said that those who are in charge of money are the ancestors and they dare not offend them on weekdays, how can they fulfill the functions of their department without money?

Murongchi's proposal to limit celebration expenses and avoid extravagance immediately aroused opposition.

Gu Yangqing directly expressed his disapproval: "The emperor has clear instructions, rituals, music, celebrations and prayers, and there are procedures to reflect the reverence and gratitude to God, and pay attention to etiquette. Through blessings and celebrations, the emperor can be controlled by the destiny, the country will be strong and new Policies that are in line with the laws of heaven spread into people's hearts, can stabilize the people, and give them hope and sustenance. What an enlightening effect this is! Compared with other expenditures, this cost is not large compared with the benefits it brings. "

Yuan Tianshi then said: "I agree with what Master Gu said. Ritual is a ceremony to respect heaven and earth, and each ritual cannot be neglected or simplified. In order to perform great rituals, make great wishes, and have great ambitions, it must be magnificent, otherwise how can it express the heaven and earth? The aura of majesty and auspiciousness. If it is simplified, it is better not to do it, so as not to offend God. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it, and the people's support is the greatest support. This auspiciousness is the best opportunity to win the hearts and minds of the people."

Murong Chi was almost persuaded by them. If he was not the Minister of Household Affairs and in charge of the money bag, he would also support the matter of not having to worry about money and organize it grandly to make the Queen Mother and the Emperor happy. It didn't matter whether he had money to spend on other things. , do you have money to spend next year?

But after all, he is in charge of money, and his butt determines his head.

"Your Majesty, I believe that grandeur and extravagance are two different things. While etiquette ensures that everything is in order, extravagance and waste can be reduced as much as possible in every aspect. For example, you can pray at the Temple of Heaven, so there is no need to mobilize troops to go to the countryside. Hundreds of officials You can wear old dresses instead of making new ones. For another example, if you want to be grand and spectacular, it is better to bring the people of the capital to pray together. In this way, the kings and the people in the world will work together, which will move the world even more. Not only It can achieve the purpose of appealing to heaven and earth, and it can also educate the people, killing two birds with one stone."

Everyone was shocked. They had never thought of these details before, especially the idea of ​​bringing people to pray for blessings, which was refreshing.

Li Beichen looked at Master Kuanji who had been silent, "What do you think Master Kuanji?"

Master Kuanji had a smile in his eyes, "Amitabha. I think what you all said makes sense. Only when it is grand and shocking can all sentient beings be in awe. This is a method of convenience. I also agree with Master Murong's view. If you can It would be perfect to advertise it to the world in advance so that people all over the world can pray together and inspire all living beings in the world to pray for good weather, happiness and health."

After Master Kuanji finished speaking, there was a moment of silence.

Everyone’s perspective is incorporated and everyone gets what they want.How could you disagree?
This is the highest state of holding a group meeting.The final solution was the culmination of collective wisdom.

Li Beichen felt happy and agreed with Master Kuan Ji's final comprehensive summary. After looking around, he asked: "At first, you all had your own reasons, which made me feel that this matter was difficult to handle. Master Kuan Ji's opinions have been gathered together. The head of the family, it is obviously the result of careful consideration. I think this solution is good. What do you think, dear friends?"

It is also a reflection of leadership wisdom.

Everyone praised in unison: "Your Majesty, your Majesty."

They waited patiently for the emperor's final decision.

Li Beichen thought for a moment and then said: "You should prepare according to the division of labor just now. The Ministry of Rites, Qintian Supervisor, and Guangji Temple will first come up with a ritual plan, listing the number and specifications of the people and property needed. Then submit it. Let the Ministry of Household Affairs review and approve the expenses to see if the expenses are reasonable. Qin Tian Jian will give out two or three dates for the ceremony as soon as possible. The Ministry of Rites will draft an imperial edict tonight to congratulate the auspiciousness in the palace, and will announce it to various places tomorrow."

"Your Majesty, would you like to ask if there is a prayer meeting included in the imperial edict?" Gu Yangqing asked.

Li Beichen thought for a while and warned, "Before the budget is finalized for the prayer meeting ceremony, the details of this matter must be kept secret and only known to the four of you."

After everyone retreated, Li Beichen stared out the window in a daze for a while.

When the prince was poisoned and the fifth prince of the imperial concubine was given to death, the late emperor made him the prince. Since the ministers had not invested in him before, most of them neither supported nor opposed, and were waiting and watching.

In the secret folder I received a few days ago, there were rumors about the emperor's accession to the throne.Rumor has it that he has had nothing to do with his concubine for many years, and that disasters have occurred in various places in the two years since he ascended the throne. He has been assassinated many times this year, which shows that if his virtue is not worthy of his place and the laws of heaven do not allow it, there will be disaster.

Such rumors are very lame and far-fetched.

A sensible person will know that someone is deliberately causing trouble as soon as he hears it, but even if he knows, he will still find someone who is adding fuel to the fire.

Because the gene of Chinese traditional culture is "savior culture".

The people in distress, infiltrated by thousands of years of history and culture, can easily accept the change of dynasty, hoping that a "chosen person" will appear to overthrow the old dynasty and save them from the fire and water.The requirements are not high, just to be favored by God, have good weather, be free from plagues and wars, and live normally and peacefully.

To combat these rumors, in addition to solving the problem from a pragmatic perspective, today's auspiciousness and the pregnancy of Xi Yonghua and Concubine Jing are really timely.

It would be even better if Jiao Jiao is also rumored to be pregnant next month.

He couldn't help but start to miss Jiang Yuebai.Even if I only have a short rest at this time, I hope to see her by my side, hold her hand and talk.

I even wanted to talk to her about this blessing ceremony and ask her how to save the most money and be the most grand.After all, she comes from a merchant family, so she should know how to save money and get things done, right?

However, what surprised him the most was that whenever he thought of her, he felt lust in his heart and his body was honest.

It can be said that not seeing each other for one day is like three autumns.

For the first time, he was so eager to finish his work quickly so that he could hug his wife?

There was no eunuch to report yet, which meant that Jiao Jiao was still sleeping soundly and hadn't woken up yet.When he just left, he had already ordered that as soon as Jiao Jiao wakes up, he would come and report.

She must be very tired today and slept very soundly.She didn't even notice when she left.

Li Beichen looked out the window with satisfaction, and suddenly discovered that one of the most precious varieties of peonies, Wei Zi, was in bloom.

Today is indeed a good day.There are auspicious scenes everywhere.

April is the best season to enjoy peonies.

This year, the purple purple seems to be blooming particularly well, with buds covering the top and bottom. Some of them are already in full bloom, as big as the mouth of a bowl of ocean.

The blooming Wei Zi is an extremely gorgeous purple overall, with a light purple blush on the edge. It is a large flower with layers upon layers, bright and eye-catching, giving people a graceful and luxurious beauty.

Just as the Song Dynasty poem said: "Wei Zi Yao Huang Ning Xiaolu. The country is beautiful and natural, and the creation is partial to Fu. It dominates the scenery in March dusk. It has countless reputations."

It reminded him of how beautiful Jiang Yuebai looked in red makeup today.

The confusion she felt when she was deeply in love came to mind, and her whole body was as soft as water.
His heart beat uncontrollably.

You must know that Concubine Jing and the others have been unable to do anything for so many years. It is not that he is not good, but that he is gifted, has strong yang energy, and energy far beyond ordinary people. In order to keep everything under control, he deliberately suppresses himself from being satisfied, which transforms into Study hard and practice martial arts like crazy.

Now I met her.very nice.

He ordered Xu Fuhai: "Take the two pots of Wei Zi outside the house, the one with the most blooming flowers, to the Queen Mother, and take the other pot to Ning'an Palace. Put it where Jiao Jiao can get it when he wakes up. Yao Huang's two pots, one One pot is given to the Queen Mother, and one pot is given to the Queen. I then move several other varieties to the Queen Mother, and gather six pots to send to the Queen Mother."

The queen mother has always loved peonies. In the past, when her father was alive, only the queen could watch peonies alone and wear fresh peonies as hair ornaments. Therefore, when the late emperor was still alive, the queen mother had never enjoyed peonies to her fullest before.

On the first anniversary of the late emperor's death last year, all entertainment activities in the palace, including the spring flower viewing party, were suspended.The queen mother stayed in seclusion all year round to express her grief. She ate and chanted Buddha's name in the small Buddhist hall in the palace, and had no inclination to appreciate the flowers.

This year coincides with the Queen Mother's [-]th birthday, so it is fitting to hold a peony party on her birthday.

After a while, I saw several young eunuchs coming over to carry flower pots.

An older eunuch followed behind and reminded: "You all, be careful. Don't damage these peonies. They are precious. Don't touch the branches, leaves, and buds at all. Be careful."

After a while, I heard another order: "Lift a basin. Slowly, slowly. Don't crowd together."

All the young eunuchs held their breath and didn't know where to put their hands and feet, for fear of touching a little bit and violating their master's taboo.But they couldn't help but secretly look at the precious lump in the flowerpot.

As expected, the country’s beauty is so fragrant and dazzling, it’s really amazing.

No wonder the masters are so rare.
