The Two Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters Are Born with a National Teacher's Life Four
Meng Li originally wanted the eunuch to take her to the sanctuary and mention the matter of strengthening border defense.
But if she didn't have a fortune-telling yet, at least she had to go back to make a pretence before going to see the emperor.
This should be done sooner rather than later.
Take precautions early to avoid being caught off guard.
She returned to the National Teacher's Mansion again, and that night, she and Gu Yi joined forces to make a divination, and the hexagram was fierce.
Gu Yi fell to the ground, his hands shaking a little.
Although the emperor was faint, Gu Yi did not expect this ominous omen to come so quickly.
He did not believe in evil and made another prediction, but it was the same as before, Gu Yi was a little disheartened, Meng Li advised:
"Master, it's up to people. Since the divination came out like this, maybe it's a warning from God, so that we can prepare for it, and things will turn for the better."
Gu Yi looked distressed and coughed again. Meng Li stretched out his hand to pat him, relieved his breath and said:
"Emperor's self-decaying, how can it be changed?"
Meng Li twitched the corners of his mouth, the emperor star declined, and another emperor star must rise.
Or Gu Yi is not brave enough to think about changing the emperor.
She never told Gu Yi about this idea, she just comforted Gu Yi for a long time, saying that she would do her best.
Gu Yi asked Meng Li to inform the emperor, and Meng Li responded.
Even if you can only go there, you may not be able to return, but do your best.
It also represents an attitude, lest when something happens, the emperor should attack her again.
There are foreign races invading the border, why didn't you remind me?
An emperor with a slightly normal mind would not ask such an idiot, but this emperor is very likely to.
Need a backer anyway.
It's a bit unreasonable to say, but the emperor's position is high and he doesn't need to be reasonable.
The national teacher can only calculate roughly good and bad luck,
Is it possible to figure out who, when and where will come to attack the great relatives, and who and when and where will the uprising fail?
Furthermore, the national teacher can't divination day by day, day by day calculation, it is really too long to live.
On the second day of the court, the emperor did not go to court, and everyone left one after another, Meng Li stepped forward:
"Father-in-law, please inform the emperor, that the minister wants to see you."
Jia Zhengchu raised his chin and looked at Meng Li, his voice shrill:
"What's the big deal, Mr. National Teacher?"
"The sage is busy with business. If you are not in a hurry, you can tell the little one first, and the little one will tell the emperor."
Meng Li looked serious:
"Yesterday I made a prediction. At this time, it is urgent. It is related to the fortune of the country. I also hope that my father-in-law will announce that the Holy Master is busy with business, and I can wait."
This Jia Zhengchu was the emperor's favorite eunuch, and even some memorials were reviewed by this eunuch.
However, there is no power in the end, and when he sees some people, he still has to bow his head.
It is also interesting to say that the power in the DPRK is dispersed. This person is holding a little bit in his hand, and the other person is holding a little bit in his hand, and no one can do anything about it, but open and secret fights are never broken.
Disdain flashed in Jia Zhengchu's eyes.
He doesn't believe in fate, let alone that set of ghostly things, not to mention things made by women, which is even less credible.
Also the fortune of the country, it is so mysterious, isn't this world a good place?
However, after all, people are national teachers, and it is not good to be too ugly.
He raised his chin and said:
"Since the national teacher is willing to wait, then follow the little one into the discussion hall and wait."
Meng Li is not annoyed either:
"Then thank you father-in-law, please take care of father-in-law to lead the way."
She didn't want to curry favor with this father-in-law, so it was normal for her to be left out.
Ren is now a celebrity by the emperor's side, and she is helpless at the moment.
Still the same sentence, when the emperor falls, these people will not end well.
As Jia Zhengchu went to the meeting hall where the emperor received his ministers, Jia Zhengchu said:
"Master National Teacher and wait patiently, the emperor will come to see you after he is busy."
Meng Li nodded, and Jia Zhengchu left directly.
She stood there and waited, knowing that the emperor would not come so soon.
According to Jia Zhengchu's yin and yang strange appearance, he will not inform the emperor now, but it will take some time.
Meng Li stood in the council hall until the afternoon, and didn't even eat lunch. It was not until the afternoon that the eunuch's voice sounded outside the door:
"The Emperor is here."
Meng Li stroked his sleeves, bowed his waist and bowed his head. The sound of footsteps came, and then a bright yellow flashed across Meng Li's eyes. Meng Li shouted:
"I see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
When the national teacher sees the emperor, there is no need to kneel.
"National teacher, calm down." A male voice came, slightly hoarse.
Meng Li straightened his back and glanced at the emperor quickly, his eyes were puffy and his face was a little blue, as if he was overindulging.
A few loose beards on the chin, somewhat comical.
Next to him, Jia Zhengchu stood aside, staring at Meng Li.
The emperor looked at Meng Li, his Adam's apple moved, the national teacher was really beautiful, and his temperament was like a fairy.
Meng Li looked at the emperor's eyes, and immediately wanted to understand.
Suddenly feel sick.
There are still too many nails on the coffin board of the late emperor, otherwise it will not be able to hold down.
"National teacher, what are you looking for me for?"
The emperor dragged his head with one hand, his body was crooked, and there was no image.
Meng Li sighed:
"I had a discussion with Master Gu Yi last night. There may be disasters at the border. I hope the Holy Master strengthens the defense of the border. We must not allow those barbarians to invade the country and disturb the people."
"Also, I have heard that the people are restless. Although they have been suppressed by force many times by local officials, they still need to take more precautions."
Sure enough, the emperor still said the same thing in the plot.
Anyway, there is nothing to be afraid of, whether he is a foreigner or an uprising army, he is not afraid of everything, he has a million heroes.
Meng Li couldn't help but ask:
"Your Majesty, this minister believes that force suppression is not a long-term solution. The most fundamental thing is that local taxes should be reduced or exempted to appease the people. The current tax is really too heavy, and the people are the foundation of the country and must be taken seriously."
If it is reduced now, it can also make the people feel better sooner.
Or give the emperor a reminder, lest there is a time to fight a war and have to scrape the people's fat and plaster as army salaries.
The treasury must be rich now, but the emperor will take the opportunity to restrain the money.
The battle is definitely going to be fought, and she can't go to the border to prevent foreigners from harassing her big relatives, but once she was afraid of them, she didn't dare to come for the time being.
When the emperor heard the tax cut, he was a little irritated, but he was patient:
"National teacher, you just took office not long ago, and you don't know how much silver taels the court needs to support the soldiers and your group. As the emperor, you don't know my difficulties at all."
"Just clamoring to reduce taxes, but the treasury is empty, the army pays, the construction of border defenses, the construction of river embankments, etc., so no money?"
"Now the people only pay some taxes and silver, but their lives are guaranteed. Without the protection of me and the courtiers and soldiers, the people will not be able to live and work in peace and contentment."
Meng Li: ...
Come on, when she didn't say it.
She was out of her mind to say such a thing.
