After the Tyrant Dressed As a Woman Disguised As a Man

On the sixth day of June, the emperor’s birthday is also Qiao Qing’s first birthday after coming to this world.

She has some fate with the original prince, not only the name is the same, but the appearance is similar to six or seven, and the birthday of the lunar calendar is also the same day.

Almost in May, the palace began to prepare for the birth of the emperor.

Last year was not considered a famine year, but there were also disasters in several places. With the death of the first emperor and the new emperor's accession to the throne, the treasury, which was not considered full, suddenly became empty.

However, when taxes came up during the New Year, the emperor released many palace members out, and set an example to reduce some of the expenditures in the palace, even the New Year did not make a big deal.

Qi State has not yet established the Silk Road, and the food development at this time is not as rich as that of later generations. The main reason is the limitation of materials and methods. Many vegetables and fruits have not been imported from Pan Pang.

Even so, the emperor had dozens of dishes per meal. Those who couldn't finish it would occasionally be rewarded to his servants, and most of the rest would be discarded.

Except for some rare vegetables, there are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas, and abalone and bear paws.

Qiao Qing has a wealthy family since she was a child, and she has never been short of food and clothing, because the work is very hard, but she has never treated herself badly when it comes to food.

Otherwise, she's a big business, she's eating upside down every day, and tossing her own body, but in the end it won't be cheap for others.

But when Qiao Qing took a look at the food management system equipped by the emperor, he was deeply impressed by the extravagance of Emperor Xiandi.

Qi Chaoguang was the official in charge of the diet of the emperor, and he was divided into Taiguan, Tangguan, and Daoguan. Among them, there were 1,500 people each under the orders of Tangguan, and the total number was 3,000.

They must be in charge of the materials for tribute, the materials for entertaining guests, the meals of the emperor and the harem, and the cost of eating in the palace for one year alone will cost 10,000 yuan.

Wei Han, as a scholar of the degree, and earning extra money for Qiao Qing, did research on people's living standards for her.

The concept of 10,000 yuan, according to the expenditure of the people of Qi, is roughly equivalent to the level of 10,000 middle-class families in the era when Qiao Qing lived.

This is just one item, the official order of the governing diet, and the salary is an additional huge expenditure.

Qi State treats officials very kindly. Basically, the salary is not low, and the diet is poor. For many years, I don't know how much fertilizer has flowed from the treasury to the pockets of officials of all sizes.

Looking at the streets of Beijing, it is easy to find skinny pedestrians, and for the sake of the aesthetics of the dynasty, even if there is no shortage of food and clothing, there are not many fat people.

But after turning to the Crown Prince, Qiao Qing could see a lot of fat people, each with fat heads and big ears, and their mouths were greasy.

Qiao Qing watched the unstoppable beeping fat on the cheeks of these people, and the sound of the calculator resetting to zero continued in his mind.

What these people ate was all her Qiao Qing's money!

Even if there are not many concubines in the palace nowadays, a lot of court ladies and eunuchs have been released, but they have to entertain foreign guests, have fun with the courtiers, and have a special diet to test the quality of the ingredients. A few people are definitely not enough, but now they don’t need it. Serving three thousand people!

Taking advantage of this birthday banquet, Qiao Qing used the Supreme Official's Order to operate.

She can't touch the things of those officials for the time being, nor can she care how extravagant and wasteful they are. Her own kitchen can always take care of it.

The staff has been reduced by half, and the food she eats on weekdays is also cut in half. There are so many dishes, and she can't finish eating. It feels wasteful to look at it.

After Qi Guo has enough food and clothing, she herself is rich and oily. What she does is to promote the economy, and now it is a waste.

Thinking of what he had gained when he ransacked his home, Qiao Qing decided to check all these officials, large and small.

During this period of time, Qiao Qing vigorously promoted the poor disciples, which has given birth to vigilance in the family.

In order to show her importance to the aristocratic family, she left this matter to the Yushi doctor to arrange.

Qiao Qing chose Qin Yushi, that is, the one who used two thousand taels of silver to exchange his aunt's sister from the palace.

This matter was started before the case of the puppet master was dealt with. With such a large number of tasks on the head of Yushi, the emperor also asked to set it down before her birthday, so as not to leave anyone with resentment and food for her. A bit poisonous.

This is of course not very likely. The 3,000 people include those who specialize in testing poison for the emperor, especially Qiao Qing who was physically weak when he was the prince. Some foods that may be okay for ordinary people may induce her illness.

After so many years, Qiao Qing's diet will definitely not show the slightest omission.

Qin Yushi was almost bald by this huge workload. What he did was still very offensive, that is, going back and saying something bad about the emperor to his sister can make him feel better.

"Your Majesty doesn't know what it is to be crazy these days, tossing and tossing, I heard that the concubines in the palace, and the concubines of the first emperor, in order to cooperate with the emperor, he also cut food and clothing. It is because of my sister that you came back to live, Otherwise, if you want to eat something good, you won’t be able to eat it."

The former Mrs. Qin was sewing summer clothes for her nephew. After she went out of the palace, she lost a lot of entertainment and had nothing to do, so she picked up the female celebrity of the year.

Hearing what her younger brother said, Mrs. Qin only smiled softly: "Your Majesty cherishes the people and is willing to lead by example. It is a good thing."

When she knew that the emperor personally killed Madam Ding, she felt fortunate that she did not frame Qiao Qing, who was still the prince, along with Madam Ding.

Of course, this has something to do with her not having an heir, because without her own children, she will not delusionate about that position, and she will not do the evil things that Mrs. Ding did for her own benefit.

She thought she would die in the imperial tomb, but she didn't expect that the prince who hadn't ascended the throne gave her a chance to survive.

Although she could not stay in the mansion as a righteous woman after this, she could not attend as honorable as before, but the emperor gave her this opportunity, and she recites this kindness.

We must know that those imperial concubines in the palace, who followed Mrs. Ding to grind the prince back then, none of them survived.

Obviously, the emperor didn't really lack the two thousand taels of silver, just to establish a connection with the family.

If Qiao Qing heard this, she would definitely tell her sincerely, no, the same family tied it on the boat just by the way, her real purpose was just to fill her small vault with some silver.

Qin Yushi was silent for a while, and then said: "This time, I will naturally take care of it."

Once the emperor and the courtier, the family is powerful, but the emperor is orthodox. Otherwise, in troubled times, why do those insurgents always use Qingjun's slogans?

Otherwise, many aristocrats are powerful, but not all of them are thinking of rebelling and enthroning, and they are afraid that the people of the world will criticize them.

Mrs. Qin bit off the thread: "I see your Majesty is a lover of personality. If you do something for him, he will not treat you badly. The fruits are chilled in the well, eat to cool off the heat, and avoid fever."

When the emperor was still the prince, he was notoriously bad-tempered, and he must report to him, and he was narrow-minded.

It seems that after becoming the emperor, his temper has worsened, but maybe because there is no pressure, he just changed it to ignore minor problems, but in major matters, it appears to be particularly harsh.

Once a person pokes the emperor's sensitive and fragile nerves, he can do the things that would drag the person out and kill him.

Such a sect, in any case, it has nothing to do with Renjun, and the reputation of the emperor is not very good among the literary population.

But no matter how bad he is, he is also the emperor.

Especially during this period of time, Qiao Qing promoted a lot of unfamiliar children, knowing Zhang Zong with insight, which has been spread as a folk story.

Ordinary people can't see the emperor, but they know that Zhang Zong is the elder Qingtian who works for the people, so they love Zhang Zong and Qiao Qing.

They have also witnessed it with their own eyes when they treat the poor children well. Now the emperor is faintly stalemate with the family, and it is hard to show good intentions this time. All they can do is to hold on to this olive branch for the first time.

In the final analysis, the imperial family of the Qi Dynasty was not so weak.

Qiao Qing played both soft and hard, and it was effective against most of the family's laissez-faire attitude. So far, there is no huge interest hanging in front, and the Qi family can't unite at all.

There are so many high officials. According to the emperor's request, half of the candidates are cut off. If things are too late, the personnel will change greatly.

What was not cut off by the emperor today may not be kept tomorrow.

The people whom Guan Shi had contact with belonged to the royal official's name. After all, there were 500 people in the royal official's name, and if an unimportant person was arranged to come in, he would not be able to meet the requirements of the banquet.

As a result, he tried to send the money in and brought Yanyu to the door, but the group of people drove him out.

"My grown-ups don't do anything for the emperor now, let alone you two."

Guan Shi was anxious: "What is this, I gave the money back then."

The other party cursed: "You don't want money, let alone life. If you have the ability, you can go to the capital to sue us. Don't look at our adults retreating, just treat us as soft persimmons."

In fact, Guan Shi Wang didn’t give too much money. I left it before, and it didn’t work well, and it’s okay if I refunded the money. But who made the upper man determined to catch the money that was eluded by the imperial official? The money needs to be used up and down, not to mention the previous scenery, or they will be involved in it to save their lives.

Except for the three adults, Taiguan, Tangguan, and Daoguan, although there are many people who do things in Taiguanling, they basically don't see the emperor on weekdays, and they only do things behind their backs.

The little ghosts under the hand of Hell can use the emperor's prestige to do things on weekdays, but most of these people have low status.

Don't say it was the emperor who ordered it himself, even if it was Qin Yushi, he didn't have much scruples when he started.

The steward Wang said nothing, and didn’t know any more information. After hearing this, an old face squeezed out a dry smile: "What are you talking about? Just keep the money. When the sire gets up, you can read it. Just keep it small."

This matter of corruption and bribery, where can Manager Wang tell. He gave the money simply as a gift to brush up on the other’s favor. He asked someone to do something for himself. There was no evidence and no notes. That is to say, he thought of the large number of adults and kindly returned the money to him. Now things are not done well, the money is not there. , He was helpless.

Because he was worried that Yanyu would not be able to speak, when Guanshi Wang brought Yanyu over, he went in alone, leaving Yanyu to guard at the door temporarily.

Seeing him so downhearted, Yanyu asked him: "Can I see the emperor?"

Guan Shi said in an annoyed manner: "Fart, this is no way out. Now the palace is reducing the number of people. Today, I don't want to raise so many people. Why are you going to the palace and drinking northwest wind?"

When talking about the last two words, he kept his voice low, fearing that outsiders would listen to him and say he was arguing about the emperor.

Yanyu's eyes were a little dazed: "I don't need him to support him."

He was telling the truth, that Yanyu himself had enough money to support many people with any property under his name, and the salary that the emperor could give him was nothing but a drop in the bucket.

Guan Shi was initially angry, but Yan Yu's stupid reaction made a fuss. It was really angry and funny.

He pulled Yanyu to the corner and asked him: "You entered the palace just to have a good livelihood and support your family. Things in this palace, you really think how easy it is to do, I tell you, today's He has a bad temper. Unlike me, he can kill people."

Wang Guanshi and Yanyu are all in white clothes, and under normal circumstances, according to the law, aristocrats are not allowed to kill good people at will, except for slaves. Slaves belong to property and are not considered to be people in the eyes of everyone.

Yanyu said: "He can't kill me."

Guan Shi was smirked by Yanyu. This man is really a fool, so he shouldn't talk to Yanyu!

But thinking about the money Yanyu gave, he guessed that this child was from the kind of merchant's family. He always felt that merchants were inferior and would be so obsessed with entering the palace if he wanted to be an official.

He went on to say: "What do you want to do in the palace, not to mention whether you enter the palace, can you see the emperor is another question, even if you have such a scary face, you will not be able to see the emperor. If you enter the palace, , This mask must be taken off."

Even if his face is burnt, it doesn't matter if he stays in the back kitchen and doesn't see the nobles.

Yanyu didn’t know that these people had misunderstood him and ruined his face, because when he was in Tianyi Pavilion, someone once said to him, “The pavilion master’s appearance is really too prosperous. It’s better to cover up in front of others."

He hadn't been born for a long time, and he didn't put this mask on his face at first.

But when he first came out, there would always be some weird people sticking to it. Yanyu found it troublesome, so he made something to block his face.

He successfully caught Wang Guan's focus: "If you enter the palace, do you have to take off this cover? Why does it scare people when it is taken off."

Guan Shi was angry in his heart, and did not leave any emotion in his words: "The court ladies in front of the emperor must have correct facial features. The more beautiful the better, would you like to see a person whose appearance has been burnt all day?"

On weekdays, those craftsmen would only talk about the appearance of this child behind Yanyu. These people are ordinary people, and their hearts are not bad. They think that this child is stupid and unlucky, and when he encounters such unlucky things, how can he deliberately poke others? scar.

Guanshi Wang had never seen Yanyu's true appearance, so he took this rumor as true, after all, there seemed to be a real problem with Yanyu's head.

This child can come up with a sum of money, and he is not stupid, but the circuit of thinking about the problem is that it feels very different from normal people. Because of the ruined appearance, I was greatly irritated, and people were a little dumb, what a perfect logic.

Yanyu took off the mask on his face to prove his innocence: "I have not been burnt down."

Guan Shi was stunned. The strange thing Yanyu used to cover his face, he always felt awkward when he looked at it, and he felt full of disobedience.

Now Yan Yu revealed his true face, and the sense of disobedience was gone.

The latter covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak loudly at Yanyu. After a long while, he cautiously said: "Which nobleman is Lang Jun in this Chang'an city?"

This fairy-like appearance is the famous and beautiful man in Chang'an that Guanshi Wang has seen. Standing in front of Yanyu, he will be compared to the dust.

But Guanshi Wang has been in Chang'an for decades, and he has never heard of such an outstanding man.

Is there any family in the capital whose surname is the Yan family, Yan family, Yan family, Yan family?

Anyway, just like this, it was said that it was not raised by jinyiyushi, and Wang Guanshi would not believe it when he was beaten to death.

Yanyu shook his head: "I am not from Chang'an."

People here come and go, and someone has noticed them. Guan Shi looked at Yanyu's face that could be called a disaster, and said, "You should put on your mask first."

The beautiful men in Chang'an will be thrown by the crazy ladies. At the level of Yanyu, and there is no guardian around him, Guanshi Wang is afraid that he will be squeezed to death by those pursuing Meilangjun when he is in the busy market.

"Oh."

Yan Yu put on the mask again, and he still looked the same in peace days. It was obvious that Guan Shi, who was truly handsome, had no way to look at Yan Yu with his previous eyes.

After finding a quiet place, Guan Shi Wang asked carefully about Yanyu's situation. This time he was not as perfunctory as usual, but he took a thousand percent seriously.

"Where is Lang Jun's house?"

The Qi country is very large, and Guanshi Wang knows Chang'an but does not know other aristocratic families.

If Yanyu is a family in the capital, why bother to come to his place to find the way to the palace.

He thought about what Yanyu had said before, and suddenly realized that he was really self-righteous.

But there still seems to be something wrong, he is just a small person, Yanyu is so outstanding, anyone can enter the palace with anyone, what's the use of finding him.

Isn't this Langjun taking him for entertainment?

But it was said that Yanyu arrived at a place where there were only two people, and Guan Shi saw his appearance again, so he took off his hood.

Looking at Yanyu’s face, Guan Shi felt that he was being critically beaten by his beauty. Even if he was a man who was so straight that he couldn’t be straight, he felt that his previous thoughts were really dirty, how could he think like this. Where's the fairy.

Just like him, there is no money and no color, and he is still a man with a big belly and started a family. Is there anything worthy of other people's conspiracy?

Yanyu said, "I don't live in Chang'an."

He said the name of the place at the junction of the three realms.

Guan Shi scratched his head: "It doesn't seem to be very wealthy there, and the mountains are endless."

The ravines are very poor, and I really can’t imagine that the poor ravines can raise people like Yanyu.

But Yanyu nodded in agreement: "I did live on the mountain before."

Wang Guanshi: The fairy must eat flowers, drink dew, and absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth on the mountain to grow like this!

"Then what do you want to do when you enter the palace?"

Yanyu said: "Those craftsmen made things for the emperor. I want to talk to the emperor, but those people said that if they want to see the palace, they need to find you, so I will find you."

When he came to the capital, he just walked on the eaves at first. When he came to this yard, he found that the things made by these craftsmen were very interesting, and then he joined in.

Because there were a lot of people, and these three big and five thick guys sweated a lot, and the smell was very smoky. He remembered that he didn't know who was saying to him, so he took out his mask and put it on.

At the beginning, everyone ignored him, and someone wanted to drive him out, Yanyu paid out the money, and then he got on the line of Wang Guanshi.

Many problems can be solved with money. This seems to be what Yushan said. Yushan is Yushan, and his weapon is a fan.

Guan Shi: ... He really is an ordinary mortal, he can't understand what the fairy is talking about, and he always feels like something is wrong.

"But the emperor is not so nice to see."

Guan Shi wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was actually working for an adult surnamed Wei, but the status of an adult would be respected, and he wouldn't just ignore a small person like him.

Think about it, he took money from a stranger, and he asked his immediate boss to say that he would go to the emperor in the fortress. What would be the result? He will definitely lose the errand that his wife's family has finally found for him, or maybe he will be considered to be against the emperor.

"That's why I asked you for help. You all charged my money."

Yanyu's eyes were faintly accusing him. He really hadn't been in the world for a long time. It seemed that the emperor had come to invite him before. Later, the emperor found Tianyi Pavilion an eyesore, and they quarreled, and Tianyi Pavilion hid into the mountain.

After all, he didn't remember how many emperors had changed in Shanwai.

The barriers in this palace are not difficult for him.

But he still knows the rules outside. For example, the emperor has a bad temper. If he rushes in, the two people will definitely not be able to communicate normally.

He didn't want to fight with the emperor, of course it really did. The emperor should probably not be able to fight him, but with all his guards added up, it was unlikely that Yan Yu would leave smoothly.

The emperor is always surrounded by many people, and he must not be willing to fight him alone in a fair and just manner.

Guan Shi's fat face kept sweating out.

"This, I used to have misunderstandings and misunderstandings, and I didn't send money out. There are unexpected events."

He asked for some information again, and finally concluded that this Yanyu was not a prince from a family, but a character from an unknown sect in the poor mountains.

Yanyu said the name of Tianyi Pavilion, but it has disappeared in the folks for hundreds of years. Of course, Guan Shi could not have heard of it.

I heard Yanyu say that there are only ten disciples in the school, so few people are equivalent to the little pheasant school.

"If you want to go to the palace to see the emperor, going to the back kitchen will definitely not work, but I don't have the ability."

Considering that Yanyu might have a problem with his head, Guanshi Wang didn't intend to let him go to those families. He thought about it for a long time, and then made a suggestion.

"I think you can go to the Grand Princess." Guanshi Wang suggested so sincerely.

Yanyu has no family background, and if he comes into contact with a family, he might be deprived of some descendants of a family who likes south wind.

But the eldest princess is different. In addition to being more affectionate and domineering, she protects her own shortcomings, especially the lover she loves.
