Chapter 416 The Ridiculous King, the Marquis of Stone!
Ye Xiao couldn't just watch "The Song Dynasty" come to an end, but after investing a huge amount of money, he couldn't end up losing everything, right?
He also quickly checked the profit and loss event records.
I want to go through the event records to see what happened in the "Great Song Dynasty" that led to the current critical condition and even a loss of tens of billions of orange crystals!
[For fun, Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan to set up a manufacturing bureau in Suzhou and Hangzhou, employing thousands of craftsmen to make ivory, rhino horn, gold and silver and other items. The craftsmen were miserable and suffered a loss of 1 billion orange crystals]
[Zhao Ji is fatuous and incompetent. He appointed Cai Jing as prime minister based on his love and lost 2 billion orange crystals]
[Priest Bao Zheng punishes traitors and eliminates evil, earning 100 million orange crystals]
[In order to build Yanfu Palace, Longevity Mountain and other large palaces and gardens, Zhao Ji sent Zhu Meng to support the Fengju Bureau in Suzhou, resulting in a loss of 5 billion orange crystals]
[Zhu Meng specializes in searching for folk exotic flowers, stones and other rare things. The people are miserable and suffer a loss of 3 billion orange crystals]
[Priest Bao Zheng punishes traitors and eliminates evil, earning 100 million orange crystals]
[Corrupt officials are everywhere, the people are in dire straits, and they have lost 1 billion orange crystals]
…
At this glance.
Ye's smiling face was about to turn black into coal.
Everywhere you look, there are losses.
One loss after another caused the corners of his mouth to twitch subconsciously several times.
"Priest Bao Zheng kept punishing rape and eradicating evil, but each time he punished rape and eradicated evil, he could only bring in a profit of 100 million orange crystals. But the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, was addicted to fun and had no ambition.
, I just play for fun. No wonder, this Song Dynasty is critically ill. The source of his critical illness is Zhao Ji!"
Ye Xiao had a look of sigh on his cheeks.
Although there were some changes in the Song Dynasty.
However, Zhao Ji was exactly the same as the historical Song Huizong Zhao Ji whom he knew.
Could this prove the saying: A country is easy to change, but its nature is hard to change!
As the king of a country, he did not pay attention to government affairs and other national affairs. Instead, he was indulged in antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
"In fact, Zhao Ji did not hesitate to spend money from the treasury just to collect rare and rare treasures. Especially stones. Zhao Ji really likes those strange-shaped stones. It is precisely because Zhao Ji has such a hobby that the common people will encounter
All kinds of hardships! We are still playing with stones, but we don’t know that the people are already complaining. Even the butcher knife of the Jin people is about to swing towards the Song Dynasty."
Ye Xiao's expression gradually became serious.
This Zhao Ji is really unreliable.
If he was allowed to continue to be the emperor of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty would definitely be in disgrace.
The Jingkang crisis will still happen.
Then, a thoughtful expression appeared on Ye Xiao's face, and then he murmured to himself, "Maybe it's time to change to an emperor."
Afterwards, he directly observed Zhao Ji, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty.
[Real-time video observation of Zhao Ji]
[Real-time video playback]
As soon as he entered his field of vision, he saw a gleaming golden hall.
The main hall is magnificent and majestic.
But in front of the desk in the main hall, there is a young man in his twenties. He has a gentle and elegant face, like a handsome gentleman.
He was dressed in imperial robes and looked extraordinary.
Obviously, he is Zhao Ji.
"rustle!"
He splashed ink and wrote on rice paper.
He wrote like a god, and an article came into Ye Xiao's field of vision in a blink of an eye.
"The sky and the earth are dark and yellow, the universe is primitive..."
What Zhao Ji wrote is not the Thousand Character Essay.
Moreover, Zhao Ji's font is thin and straight, so thin without losing its flesh, and the hidden front can be clearly seen at the turning point.
Just by looking at it, three words popped into Ye Xiao's mind - Thin Gold Body!
This is clearly the thin gold body invented by Zhao Ji.
If it comes to the art of single-wheel calligraphy, painting, etc., Zhao Ji is definitely quite amazing.
He has an original thin gold body and is also good at painting.
But the problem is that Zhao Ji is an emperor.
In terms of handling government affairs and state affairs, at Zhao Ji's level, he was basically an emperor with no merits.
Zhao Ji was born into an imperial family by mistake!
Ye Xiao sighed in his heart.
"Guan Jia, your calligraphy is really getting better and better. It's really like iron painting with silver hooks. It's thin and not revealing. Guan Jia is a great calligrapher of the generation!"
Yang Jian, the eunuch who served beside Zhao Ji, spoke highly of him, and his tongue was as bright as a lotus flower, and he kept speaking praises.
Hearing this, Zhao Ji showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.
This feeling of being praised by others is really good.
"Daban, I'm overly praised. My calligraphy is not worthy of being called a great calligrapher of the generation."
Zhao Ji said humbly.
"Deserve it, deserving it."
The eunuch Yang Jian said quickly.
after.
Zhao Ji did not continue to stay in the imperial study, but went to a garden accompanied by the eunuchs and maidens.
There are many rare and exotic stones placed in the garden.
These rare and rare stones have different shapes and shapes.
"Not bad, not bad."
Facing these stones, Zhao Ji showed a satisfied expression on his face. He even reached out and touched them, showing that he couldn't put them down.
The next second.
Zhao Ji also wanted to try to lift huge boulders one by one.
"Officials, you must not do this, be careful of the dragon body!"
Seeing this, the eunuch Yang Jian looked shocked and spoke quickly.
He was also afraid that something might happen to Zhao Ji when he was lifting the boulder.
If that was the case, he couldn't bear the consequences.
"In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has become a little different. As far as I know, the dragons and tigers are so fierce that it is not an easy task to pick up a huge stone?"
On the spot, Zhao Ji's face darkened, "Why, my dear friend, do you still want to stop me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare."
The eunuch Yang Jian, who was good at understanding people's hearts, had a look of horror on his face, and he spoke quickly.
After saying that, he lowered his head and did not dare to look at Zhao Ji.
Looking directly at Tianyan is a grave sin!
The next second.
Zhao Ji hugged the boulder with both hands and began to exert force.
"drink!"
With a loud roar, he easily lifted the boulder weighing two to three hundred kilograms.
"Guan family, born with divine power! Born with divine power!"
The eunuch Yang Jian cheered profusely.
With a proud face on his face, Zhao Ji also put the boulder back to its original place.
"It's nothing, the world has changed now. Just say that in the past few years, there has been a rumor in the outside world. Bao Zheng, who has been dead for many years, has actually been resurrected. Daban, do you believe this?
Bar?"
While speaking, Zhao Ji narrowed his eyes.
"This... Guan family, how can this dead person be resurrected... However, combined with the changes in the world today, it seems that this is really possible."
The eunuch Yang Jian replied.
moment.
Zhao Ji snorted coldly.
"Oh!"
"Even if those officials and common people are guilty, they should be controlled by my laws of the Song Dynasty. But now. In just four years, Bao Xiren, the suspected resurrected Bao Zheng, beheaded my great leader
Hundreds of officials and thousands of people from the Song Dynasty acted in this way, did they take me, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, seriously?"
This moment.
A chill ran down the eunuch Yang Jian's back, and he too wisely did not dare to speak.
He was also afraid that if he said the wrong thing, he would not get any good results.
"His behavior is lawless! The crime is extremely heinous! I even ordered a sea arrest document to be sent to all states and counties all over the world, just to capture the suspected resurrected Bao Zheng. But now, after all these years, he has been arrested and arrested.
No. Did you know that this has almost become a problem for me?"
After saying that, Zhao Ji's eyes flashed fiercely.
The eunuch Yang Jian was trembling all over, even more frightened and frightened.
Seeing such a real-time video picture, Ye Xiao's heart went cold.
Zhao Ji actually wanted to deal with the priest Bao Zheng.
But that's right.
The priest Bao Zheng's act of directly killing corrupt officials indeed challenged the supreme imperial power of the Song Dynasty, and it was reasonable for Zhao Ji to feel dissatisfied.
However, the people killed by the priest Bao Zheng were all people who deserved to die and who deserved to be killed.
Priest Bao Zheng never lets a bad person go, and he never wrongly accuses a good person.
What happens next.
But it's also obvious.
Zhao Ji had no interest in governing state affairs at all.
He immediately issued an order to send additional manpower to capture the person pretending to be Bao Zheng!
Three days later.
Zhao Ji met with his minister Zhu Meng.
"Why do you want to see me?"
Zhao Ji was still reading books in the imperial study room. When he saw Zhu Meng's arrival, he asked in a deep voice.
Ye Xiao also recognized Zhu Meng at a glance as one of the Six Thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty.
In this real-time video, Zhu Mengmei has beautiful eyes and regular facial features.
But it is also unimaginable that such a person could be a heinous person.
It can be said that Zhu Meng was also one of the major contributors to the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I know that you like rare and rare stones, and now, I have searched all over the world and finally found a huge Taihu stone! This is a gift to Your Majesty!"
Zhu Meng spoke in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.
Instantly, Zhao Ji's eyes lit up.
He was very fond of the boulder.
And this huge Taihu stone also filled his eyes with anticipation.
How huge is this Taihu Stone?
"Okay! You did a good job!"
Zhao Ji replied.
Soon, Zhao Ji also summoned some officials to go to the yard where those rare and rare stones were stored to admire the huge Taihu stone that Zhu Meng said.
But in a blink of an eye.
Zhao Ji and others then saw the huge stone.
At this glance.
Zhao Ji was extremely surprised.
The boulder in front of me is as tall as several people.
It's so huge, it's like a small palace.
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Zhao Ji spoke in praise.
He also cast his approving gaze on Zhu Meng.
"My dear, I'm interested."
"All this is what a minister should do."
Zhu Meng replied quickly, but couldn't help but say, "In order to transport this huge stone, I also built two large ships for this purpose. Otherwise, it would really be impossible to transport it to Bianliang."
He talked about it very easily.
But actually.
In order to transport the huge stone several feet high in front of him, he spent a lot of money, several months, and many people.
But it's all worth it.
It is enough to make His Majesty happy.
Zhu Meng was extremely happy.
"Thank you for your hard work. Anyone who participates in transporting this huge stone will be rewarded!"
Zhao Ji is smiling.
Obviously, he wanted to reward the migrant workers who transported the stones heavily, and he also rewarded Zhu Meng, allowing him to be promoted to a high official.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Suddenly, Zhu Meng burst into tears of gratitude.
He made a decision in his heart.
Your Majesty likes stones so much, so he will work harder to collect rare stones from all over the world and give them to Your Majesty.
Not only did he have such an idea, the officials around him were also a little moved.
What else to do?
Collecting strange stones is important.
Look at Zhu Meng, he collected a strange stone and was directly promoted to a noble rank, which really made them envious for a while.
The real-time video picture in front of him also made Ye Xiao sigh.
"With such ministers and such an emperor, how could the Song Dynasty not be destroyed?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He seemed to have captured some unusual information.
In his impression, Zhu Meng's transportation of this giant Taihu stone did not happen in Chongning, but happened more than ten years later.
But now it's happened.
this……
right!
It is definitely because he invested a huge amount of money, which has affected the historical progress of the Song Dynasty.
If this continues.
I'm afraid.
The Song Dynasty did not have the same situation as it did in the past twenty years.
If it doesn't last for several years at most, it is very likely that he will die.
Is the Jingkang Incident going to happen in advance?
The more he thought about it, the more Ye Xiao felt frightened.
Zhao Ji, who is no longer a son of man, should get out and change to another emperor!
As for this new emperor, Ye Xiao also has a candidate in mind.
Song Renzong Zhao Zhen!
If this Renzong can't do it, let Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin come!
In short, this Song Dynasty cannot be finished!
Just then.
In the real-time video footage, Zhao Ji said something that shocked the officials around him.
"Everyone has finished giving rewards, so this huge stone should also be rewarded!"
Zhao Ji's words were resounding.
"this……"
The surrounding officials couldn't help but look at each other in disbelief, feeling that His Majesty's words were so ridiculous and ridiculous!
Give a stone as a reward?
What kind of trouble is this?
However, these officials only dared to express a few complaints in their hearts.
They would never dare to express their innermost thoughts.
"This Taihu stone is rare in the world. I'm afraid there is only one like this in the world. Therefore, I will call this Taihu stone - Panguhou!"
Zhao Ji became more playful and said something that was not surprising but would never end.
As soon as this statement came out.
All the officials present were petrified on the spot.
Even the eunuch Yang Jian was confused.
It's all because Zhao Ji's behavior is extremely ridiculous.
It was actually a stone that was given the title of Marquis.
This makes people feel a little weird and a little funny.
The emotions in many officials' hearts are a bit strange.
Can you believe that they can't even compare to a stone?
Seeing this, Ye Xiao's mouth twitched several times unconsciously.
"A man is worse than a stone?"
The scene suddenly fell into silence.
Facing such silence, Zhao Ji's expression sank slightly.
"Why, dear ladies, do you have any objections to my decision?"
