Chapter seven hundred and thirty first extreme joy produces sadness(2/2)

Looking up, he happened to see an old man coming. Zhang Xiaowu immediately looked for a comparison of who this person was in his mind. He quickly retrieved useful information and was about to say hello and say hello.

"No need, today I'm not comfortable with the official position when I go out in plain clothes, just call the old man..." The old man immediately winked at Zhang Xiaowu and told him not to reveal his identity.

"... Big... Old sir. This is the case. This group of people is probably an immigrant from outside. It seems to be from Shaanxi. They sneaked into the inner city to kowtow to the emperor. The young man wanted to expel the matter, but this group of people not only kowtowed, but also used tributes and fireworks. The most outrageous thing is that they burned paper money, but they made all the mistakes they should not have made. Now the people outside are watching, claiming that they are cursing His Majesty, not letting them go out, and want to get the Yousi to question the crime. The young man is also in a dilemma!" Zhang Xiaowu said with a frown. It was really hot to run errands in this hot day, and a little movement was full of sweat. As he spoke, his face was covered with sweat, mixed with the black and gray on his face, and this face became even more costly.

"Oh, is that true?" The old man saw the little official army leader in front of him, and he explained to himself in a dark and vague manner. He wanted to laugh.

"Old sir, this is indeed the case. I think this people have received the favor of His Majesty. I traveled all the way to the capital and kowtowed to His Majesty. It is also considered that the people love His Majesty. It is not good for us to do the job and drive them away so as not to hurt their hearts. But there are always some people who are ignorant, so it's okay to kowtow, but they have to use tributes. If you say you use tributes, you can use tributes, but what's the matter with burning paper money! Our Majesty is now young, so burning paper money..." Zhang Xiaowu explained with a bitter face. He is really in trouble.

The old man looked at the funny face in front of him and almost laughed out loud. Then he felt that it was inappropriate and stopped smiling immediately. This is indeed a serious matter. Your Majesty is only twenty years old and young, so he will burn paper money for the emperor. Even if he loves it, it will not be like this. This is really too much. What is the difference between this and cursing others? No wonder the people in this capital want to surround them and not let them go. Now His Majesty's reputation is quite high in the capital.

"Let me ask..." The old man thought for a while and decided to intervene in this matter. I'm afraid there is something strange about this matter. When he encounters it, he can't just ask.

"Yes, old man..." Zhang Xiaowu was hoping that someone would come to take over the matter. If this matter was not pleasing to both sides, he would definitely take the blame. He just threw it away.

The old man went up and prepared to ask about the situation.

These people who burn paper money are old and young. It seems that they are a big family who are relocating, otherwise they would not be able to afford such a sumptuous "tribute".

After asking a few questions, the old man also felt a little headache. The local dialect was mixed with a few official words, which was really difficult to understand. Apart from knowing that they were from Shaanxi and immigrants, they couldn't understand anything else.

The old man had no choice but to ask his entourage to invite the family in the carriage. The family spoke fairly well, and could be said to have a straightforward word, and it was probably a bridge of communication.

The family was bored in the carriage and didn't know what happened before. They only heard that they were kowtowers and were scared. When they saw the old man's entourage coming, they became more stable. When they heard the entourage say they wanted to be an interpreter, they got out of the car immediately.

With this family's translation, the origin of this group of people was immediately cleared.

This group of people is really from a mountain corner in Shaanxi. Due to the continuous drought in recent years, the family's harvest has been reduced year by year, and the income has been insufficient. The money and grain accumulated over the years have gradually been consumed. So they decided to move the whole clan, spend some money, buy a piece of land in Liaodong, and prepare the whole clan to move it. It is said that they were about to bow to the emperor here and go out of the customs as the final farewell and gratitude. So, they wanted to do it more grandly, and they knew that the bow to the government had just done it, and they were "destroyed" by the government army, and were surrounded by the common people and were not allowed to leave, which scared these people.

Originally, they also invited someone to lead the way, but when the person who led the way saw the official army coming, they immediately ran away without a trace. They had to communicate with the common people of the official army in words they had to do not understand.

As for the "paper money" they burned, it was really not "paper money". According to them, they asked someone to copy the scriptures and burn them to pray for the emperor's health. They heard that the more grand the thanks, the better, so that they would appear sincere and solemn. In addition to the three animals and various tributes, it would be better to burn some scriptures so that the gods and Buddhas could bless the emperor. They listened to others and bought these things seriously, and bought them generously, and burned them generously.

"So that's it..." After hearing this, the old man sighed and said ignorance, not knowing that it was the unethical thing. This matter is really difficult to deal with. It is not appropriate to punish a family's crime. It is just thankful to His Majesty, so he held such a grand ceremony. It can be regarded as pious gratitude. If they are cured, what do other people think? I am afraid that it will hurt the hearts of the people; but if I don't care, this act of burning paper money for the emperor is to deceive the emperor. It is definitely a serious crime.

Zhang Xiaowu looked at the old man hard, hoping that the old man would say something and finish the matter quickly. If anything is involved, it will be even worse. They will definitely be punished for the crime of lax patrol.

"This matter is subject to the sage of Your Majesty!... Let's do this. For these people, please record their household registration, record where they live, and wait for me to report to Your Majesty and let Your Majesty judge..." After hearing this, the old man came to the conclusion that the emperor had to take care of this matter himself and others could not do it for him. What he could do was to report it. The old man felt that according to the emperor's personality, the result of this matter would probably be left in vain. There were many young and small families in this family, and the emperor could not even get angry. However, this process still had to go, after all, it involved the emperor.

"Little one obeys the order!" Zhang Xiaowu was relieved. Since the adult said this, there was nothing he had to do with him. The stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Zhang Xiaowu got the order and acted quickly, recording the household registration of those people, where they lived, and then instructing them not to walk around casually these days, then dispersing the crowd and letting them out.

When the crowd saw that someone had made the decision, the matter was over and the people quickly dispersed.

The crowd dispersed, and the old man thought about this strange thing today. He didn't know that the unethical person had deceived these people who had never seen the world to do such evil things. After thinking about it, the old man sighed again. Putting aside this matter today, there was an emperor so loved by the people in all dynasties? Thinking of Fang's sneaking into the inner city and running to the base of the imperial city to kowtow to the emperor. He also made a grand "tribute". This is really unheard of. What he has seen and experienced in the past few years is far more than the sum of what he experienced decades ago.

"Your family is also to bow to His Holy Holy Holy. It's spacious, so let's bow here, so that you can fully understand your thoughts..." The old man ordered. This location is a better location, with a wide view, a cool and watery place, and the imperial city wall is a little further away.

"Mr. Xie..." The family of four thanked him. Judging from the old man's posture, he should be a noble man of great origin. With the old man watching, their family can kowtow to the emperor with peace of mind.

The old woman then took out the "tribute" she had prepared long ago and placed it respectfully in front of her. The tribute was a little troublesome, as if it was wrapped in layers of cloth, as if it was oiled paper. After the old woman arranged the "tribute", she led the whole family to respectfully kneel in front of the "tribute", kowtowed to the imperial city, bowed three times and nine times, and made wishes silently, prayed, and was sincere.

Although the old man is very old, his eyes are pretty good. From a distance, he can see that the "tribute" of this old woman is a household registration book.

The old man had only heard of using three animals, fruits, pastries, wine and other things to place "tributes". Today, this is the first time I have seen someone take a household registration as a "tribute". This practice not only brightens the old man's eyes, but also makes the old man feel infinite emotion.

It seemed that after a long bow, the family stood up and came over to thank the old man again.

"Hu..." The old man breathed a long sigh, his heart was as messy as hell, and his thoughts were very complicated.

"Your family is unique. Others use fruits and pastries as tributes, but your family has a user registration. Could it be that this household registration is so important?" The old man asked with great emotion. Regarding the other intentions of this family, the old man felt it necessary to ask again.

"When I was in Shaanxi, Lord Zhang told me that with this household registration, whether it is work, farming, or other things, the emperor will always take care of me and will not abandon me. The old family will live a life of the emperor. Of course, we have to listen to the emperor's words. Now that my family has found a job in the capital, it can be considered as a way to settle down. It is not easy to survive in this year. Naturally, this household registration must be kept well. I heard that if you do not have this household registration, you can even give less wages than others..." The old woman immediately explained to the old man seriously.

"Oh. So that's it..." the old man nodded and said. This is not a new thing. Immigration in the Ming Dynasty always had to carry household registration. Those who did not have household registration were black households. The wages for work were also divided into household registration and household registration. The old man also knew about this. This was not a strange thing in the capital and even the north. But I didn't expect that the people would value a small household registration so seriously.

"...By the way, where are your family living now? I will ask someone to notify you after I have done your little lady's business..." The old man was worried and was ready to explain this matter, so he would just calm down and think about today's affairs.

"Return to the old man..." The old woman immediately told her address.

"Okay, I have written down the matter of your little lady. When I find a suitable school, I will notify you..." said the old man.

The whole family thanked him again. Since he had fulfilled his wish, it was time to go back. So he left the old man and went back.

The old man looked at the place where the special "tribute" household registration was placed before, and he seemed to have a household registration there, and then looked at the imperial city wall with red walls and green tiles in the distance. He looked at the sky higher, and felt a lot in his heart.

...

The next day.

Yang Jingyi has turned into a memorial.

The issue of the people kowtowed again, and the people sneaked into the inner city and ran to the base of the imperial city to kowtowed.

These things are no longer news. Yang Jingwei has also seen many memorials mentioning such things, but he has not made any fuss.

However, today's book mentioned one thing: someone burned "paper money" for himself under the imperial city. This is how to thank him.

Yang Jing's face was not sure whether it should be red or black. He was very uncomfortable and cursed in his heart, "Who is so immoral? He is not dead yet, so he burns paper money for himself?" However, from this memorial, it is said that the people from that family are sincerely grateful. Perhaps there is such a custom in some corner, treating people as Bodhisattvas. The more sincere people are, the more they need to burn paper money and give more tributes. This may make sense, but the problem is that according to the customs of the Ming Dynasty, no matter what they burn, it is absolutely taboo. He has not died yet, and he has enjoyed this kind of treatment. Yang Jing's face is red and black.

"Big partner, big partner..." Yang Jing's face was neither red nor black, and he kept calling Wang Chengen. He had heard of three animals before, and had heard of burning incense and lighting candles. Yang Jing didn't care. He had to make something more grand. But today he heard of burning paper for the first time, and Yang Jing could no longer sit still.

"I am here." Wang Chengen hurried in and served him. He had just gone out to deal with something.

"Big partner, I heard that there was a kowtow to me at the base of the imperial city yesterday..." Yang Jing's face was still red and black. If you say this, you will definitely be laughed at. You may have been plotted against by someone who didn't know that he was plotting against me and instigated the countryman who had never seen the world to make trouble for him.

"Your Majesty, this is a good thing. Only when the people in the world love Your Majesty, will they kowtow to Your Majesty spontaneously..." Wang Chengen took over the conversation without thinking.

"...The problem is that yesterday some people not only exaggerated the incense, but also burned paper money..." Yang Jingai said with a dark face.

Wang Chengen was choking to death. He just took the emperor's words and said good things about the emperor. Now he said this. He is cursing the emperor to die early.

"I should die, I am guilty, I should beat you..." Wang Chengen hurriedly blamed himself, and it would be troublesome to answer these words too quickly.

"Don't blame me anymore. Hurry up and check it out for me. What's going on? I want details. Is this family sincerely thanking me, or is it cursing me in the name of thanking me, or is it someone instigating this family to curse me..." Yang Jinge said.

"I obey the order! Let's do it now, and I will definitely give your Majesty half a loss..." Wang Chengen was so angry that he gritted his teeth. These guys are really lawless and dare to curse the emperor. He must give them a good look.

Yang Jie regretted it as soon as he finished speaking. This matter cannot be handled casually. If it is not good, it will lead to a disaster. You have to be cautious about this matter.

"Wait, don't go, don't go..., let me think about this matter again, think about it..." Yang Jing stopped it again. No matter what, it has happened. I am afraid that everyone in the city will know about it. If it is handled improperly, it will cause a lot of trouble.

"Your Majesty..." Wang Chengen was so angry! He was very dedicated to the guy who burned paper money. No matter what, is there any other way to burn paper money for living people?

"Wait a minute, please wait for the grandpa. Don't rush to find that family. I'll think of a proper way before I talk about it. This matter cannot be handled hastily, otherwise I will really fall into someone else's plan..." Yang Jingwei was a little angry when he saw Wang Chengen, and quickly said again.

"I obey the order!" Wang Cheng'en had to agree. The emperor said this repeatedly, and he could only agree to the anger in his heart.
