Fu Huang: Husband, here is a ginseng

Chapter 301 2 The Princess Loses

"What a poem! What a poem!"

"What a poem! What a poem!"

………………

The originally silent hall was suddenly filled with the praises of the ministers.

After hearing this, the emperor looked at Gao Zhijun in shock. She was truly an extraordinary woman who knew everything.

The female members of the family also showed admiration. These so-called noble ladies knew nothing about reciting poems, and only knew how to do needlework and manage the expenses of the mansion, manage the concubines around the master, and be a good mistress of the house.

"Who knows that every grain of food on the plate is the product of hard work! The food at today's banquet must not be wasted, and must be eaten by me. This is because it is the result of the people's hard work under the scorching sun. Anyone who wastes will be fined a year's salary. From now on, if I find out that any of you is extravagant in your house, not only will you be fined, but you will also have to work for the people in the suburbs for a month."

The emperor was trapped in the high-walled palace and never knew that his people lived like this.

Only by working under the scorching sun every day can we harvest food.

Through Princess Xiangyun's poems, he could see the hardships of the people.

However, these people eat lavishly meat and fish every day, filling the table with food for every meal, which is very wasteful.

As the king of a country, he must set an example by not being extravagant and wasteful, and he must also let his ministers follow suit.

"I will obey your orders!"

All civil and military officials stood up and knelt down to receive the order!

"Father, you are famous! I believe that from now on, the ministers will not dare to waste and will save food. We will also have a lot of food left for the people in Daliang. There will be no more famine and starving people everywhere."

Gao Zhijun agreed with the emperor's approach. The ministers never knew the suffering of the people. They indulged in feasting and drinking every day and wasted money.

But the people were hungry and often starved to death in their homes.

If this phenomenon can be changed, Daliang will have surplus grain, which can be sold cheaply to the people, and the people's death rate will be reduced.

However, if we want to change the fate of the people, the best way is to reduce taxes. But this needs to be done slowly, step by step, step by step.

The emperor highly praised the poem written by Gao Zhijun, which made the Second Princess so angry that she hated Gao Zhijun even more. She wanted to eat her flesh, tear her bones and drink her blood.

Huo Jinqian had a smile on his face, and he said that his girl was very smart, so how could she lose to a so-called rich girl, who was just beautiful on the outside but not smart on the inside.

"Princess, you are right. If any of you dare to disobey the imperial edict, commit crimes against the wind, and waste money, I will not let you off easily."

The emperor looked at the ministers below with a warning.

"I dare not do that. I will obey your order and not waste money!"

The ministers were frightened and made the promise in unison.

"I have already written one, and now I will write another one!"

“If you don’t see it, the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky and rush to the sea never to return.

Don’t you see, the white hair in the mirror in the hall, which was black in the morning and turned into white in the evening?

Life is full of joy, so that the gold is empty for the moon.

I am born to be useful, and come back when my wealth is gone.

Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows is fun, and you will have to drink three hundred cups.

Master Cen, Dan Qiusheng, will be drinking, not stop drinking.

A song with Junge, please listen to me.

Bells, drums, and jade are not expensive, but I hope I won’t wake up after being drunk.

In ancient times, the saints and sages were lonely, and only the drinkers kept their names.

In the old days, Wang Chen feasted and fought for peace and joy.

What is the master's word for less money, you have to sell to the king.

I will call my son to exchange the five-colored horse and the fur coat worth thousands of gold for the fine wine, so that we can share our eternal sorrows together!"

Gao Zhijun recited a poem called "Drinking Song" by Li Bai.

I believe no one here can compare with the poems of the great poet Li Bai.

When Gao Zhijun finished reciting, the hall fell silent.

Everyone was deeply attracted by the scenes in the poem and couldn't get out of it.

After a long while, everyone came back to their senses and were all shocked by Gao Zhijun's poem. They clapped their hands excitedly.

"Clap!"

There was endless applause, accompanied by shouts of "Great poem! Great poem!"

"When life is good, one should enjoy it to the fullest, and not let the golden cup face the moon empty.

I am born to be useful, and come back when my wealth is gone.

Good poem! Really good poem! I admire it!

The princess is so smart, and her poems are so unique that many men can't compare to her!"

After hearing this, the emperor was really impressed by Gao Zhijun and became very interested in her.

He felt that among all the ministers present, no one could compare to the princess.

"Your Majesty, your praise is too great! I, your humble servant, do not deserve it!"

Gao Zhijun immediately said modestly.

Of course her poems are unique. They are poems by the immortal poet Li Bai, so how could they be bad?

"Congratulations, Your Majesty. Congratulations, Your Majesty, for having such a daughter is a result of Your Majesty's wisdom and kindness. Heaven has moved us and has specially bestowed the blessing star upon Your Majesty and Daliang."

The Prime Minister said this with flattery from his ministers.

"Your Majesty is wise and powerful! He loves the people like his own children and is kind-hearted!"

"Princess Xiangyun is extremely intelligent, a heroine, and as capable as any man. She is a role model for all of you!"

The ministers all spoke flattering words to the emperor and praised Gao Zhijun.

The emperor was very satisfied with the performance of his ministers.

"Second Princess, the princess has finished writing the poem. Now it's your turn?"

The emperor looked at the Second Princess below and said coldly.

He was very dissatisfied with his daughter-in-law.

He doesn't know anything, yet he dares to cause trouble for the princess.

Moreover, this banquet was held for the princess. If she made things difficult for the princess, she would be slapping him in the face and the royal family in the face.

The Second Princess could never have imagined that a village girl could actually write poetry, and such a beautiful poem at that. It really surprised her.

At this moment, she felt regretful in her heart. She regretted her meddling and causing such a big incident. The prince and her father must be disappointed in her, and she was now in a difficult situation.

It is not right to write poetry, and it is not right not to write poetry.

After all, her knowledge was limited and she couldn't compose poetry at all.

"Father, your son and daughter-in-law..."

The Second Princess said a little nervously.

She didn't know what to say. She couldn't just say that she couldn't write poetry.

"Why, Second Princess doesn't want to compete?"

When the emperor saw the Second Princess's expression, he knew that she could not compose poetry and wanted to be lazy and not participate in the competition, which was impossible.

"My son and daughter-in-law dare not!"

The Second Princess was so frightened by the Emperor's angry glare that she trembled in fear and dared not to be lazy at all.

"Please write a poem!"

The emperor said.

The Second Princess is now in a difficult situation and has no choice but to write poetry.

She thought hard, hoping to remember a poem.

No matter whether the poem is good or not, it is not too embarrassing as long as it can be done.

Gao Zhijun didn't say anything, just looked at the Second Princess calmly to see how she would respond.

I let you be arrogant and cause trouble for me, let's see what you can do this time.

Huo Jinqian felt that the emperor was so powerful. He didn't have to do anything, the emperor helped his girl. He liked this uncle.

The Second Princess thought for a long time but still couldn't come up with a poem.

Now her father was watching her, her mother was watching her, and even the women in the family, many daughters of noble families were watching her, they wanted to see her make a fool of herself, to see her laugh. Even her illegitimate sisters were watching her laugh.

"Spring Sleep... Father, I admit defeat!"

In the end, the second princess couldn't compose a poem and had to admit defeat.

"Since the Second Princess has admitted defeat, I will do as I said just now and give her a thousand taels of gold, a farm, and two shops. And you must say in front of everyone, 'I am a pig, I am not as skilled as others!' Now you can keep your promise."

When the emperor saw that the Second Princess admitted defeat, he told her the bet at that time.

"Father, I was just joking with the princess. I believe the princess won't take it seriously. After all, we are a family."

The Second Princess' heart was bleeding when she thought about giving the princess so much gold, silver and shops. She didn't want to give it, and didn't want to admit it. What's more, she didn't want to say "I am a pig, I am not as skilled as others." If she said that, where would she put her face? How could she establish her authority in front of those noble ladies in the future?

"You must be joking. The emperor's sister-in-law is really funny. At the beginning, the emperor's sister said it very clearly. The emperor and the ministers heard it clearly. The emperor's sister-in-law is trying to cheat. This will damage the reputation of the royal family. I believe that the emperor and the second brother will not agree, right?"

Are you kidding? That's a nice thought. It would be strange if I could do what she wants.

If I had not traveled through time from the modern era, I would have plagiarized the poems of the immortal poets. Now I would probably have to pay compensation and still say, "I am a pig, my skills are not as good as others." She would still say lightly like now, is this a joke? Will she let me go?

Now that you have lost, if you want to cheat and refuse to admit your mistake, forget it.

"Of course I won't agree. I said at the beginning that I would testify for the two of you, and I will keep my word. The Second Princess wants to deny it now, which is a disgrace to the royal family and to me. Do you want to be divorced or go to jail? You can decide for yourself."

Of course, the emperor would not let the second princess off so easily. She was a brainless person and needed to be taught a lesson. When doing anything, you must think carefully before doing it.
