The medical concubine never thinks of going out of the wall

Chapter 629
Outside the house, Tang Nineteen was bored, Jiang Defu went to draft an order, and sent a servant to serve Tang Nineteen.

Tang Nineteen was physically and mentally exhausted today.

I walked once in a life-and-death juncture, and was almost molested by the emperor as an old friend, and then accompanied Princess Yi to a life-and-death juncture, and saw the emperor go crazy and kick a person to death in front of her eyes. is quite strong.

So, under such a strong shock, she fell asleep.

Snoring and snoring.

Mimi Chengcheng heard the gentle laughter, opened his eyes, embarrassment was capitalized on his face, and hurriedly stood up.

"You and the emperor came out, why didn't you call me?"

On the face of the emperor, there was a bit of kindness: "Today, you are tired, go back and rest earlier."

"Thank you, thank you, Father."

Wiping the drool from the corner of her mouth, she could imagine how ugly her sleeping position was just now.

After coming out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, it was already dark outside, and Tang Jiujiu realized that the emperor and Qu Tiange didn't talk for a short while, so it was no wonder that she fell asleep.

"Just now, did I embarrass you?"

Qu Tiange held her hand and walked leisurely across the garden: "Slightly."

"Hey, I'm too sleepy, what did the emperor talk to you about for so long?"

"I didn't say anything about the matter of spring plowing and offering sacrifices to the heavens in the court that day, but my father asked me in private if I had any ideas."

Tang Jiujiu looked at him sideways: "Xiaobei should have told you what happened that day."

"Yes."

"King Qian and King Rui insist on competing. One advocates that the annual spring plowing is extremely important and should be done in a big way. The other advocates frugality so that the people can see a clean and honest court. Who are you standing with today?"

"No one stood."

Tang Nineteen was slightly surprised: "Do you have a third suggestion?"

"Spring plowing to sacrifice to heaven is an important festival to pray for God's blessings, to ensure a good harvest and good weather. Father believes in the way of heaven and thinks that heaven is the emperor's king. He respects heaven very much. Naturally, it is impossible to adopt simple advice. Of course, There are indeed quite a few voices among the people who feel that spring plowing and worshiping the heavens every year cost a lot of money. Just the sacrifice of cattle, sheep and grains is a huge expense. In addition, the custom-made costumes of all the officials who worship the heavens are not small. It is expensive, and sacrifices to the sky usually last for five days. The five-day consumption is a figure that ordinary people can't imagine. It's okay to encounter a good year, but if it encounters a disaster year, the people will inevitably complain, thinking that the court I spend a lot of money, but I can't bring about a good year with good weather, and I gradually feel a little resentful. Four years ago, this happened, and it almost triggered a small riot. It was the imperial court that suppressed it, so some officials advocated It's a simple one."

From the point of view of a plain-headed commoner, Tang Nineteen really understood the aspirations of the common people.

Because all the expenses of this sacrifice to the heavens were taken from the common people, and all the vain money was thrown into a grand and huge form.

No matter how grand and grand and solemn this form is, the common people will not feel it. Good years are fine, but when there is a bad year, the common people will wonder whether the money is worth the money.

However, there are many corrupt officials in the imperial court, such as the officials from Fengzhou and the king of Qi who died before. These people are just rich and fat with the exorbitant taxes of the people.
