In the following days, Concubine Ya often accompanied the reading of the scriptures, and later Concubine Xian also came to participate in the reading of the scriptures, and the Buddhist hall was lively for a while.

This time came to summer in a blink of an eye, and the sage took Wei Sisi to Tsinghua Garden, where there are many flowers and plants, and the trees are towering.

The sage said to Wei Sisi, "This garden has finally been built, and I plan to come here every summer from now on to avoid summer work." ”

At this time, Concubine Wen, who accompanied her, also spoke: "The birds here are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the trees are shady, and the inner hall is bare, so naturally it is not as good as here, but the concubine doesn't know where the sage is going to work?" ”

"I asked them to change the location of the original main hall to Xiaoyao Pavilion, on the left of Xiaoyao Pavilion is the Aimin Palace, and then next to it is Tiance Mansion."

"This Tsinghua Garden is a spoon garden in the previous dynasty, I heard that the sage built forty-one scenes in the spoon garden, I don't know if it?"

The sage nodded, and said to Wei Sisi: "Wei Shiyu, are you going to accuse me of building a lot of construction again, in fact, I built this Qinghua Garden, not only for me, didn't you talk about Xirong some time ago?" I am going to receive their envoys here in the future, lest they have a conflict with the courtiers because they are not familiar with the etiquette. Therefore, it can't be shabby here, this is the face of my Dayu Kingdom, so that these outsiders understand that the Celestial Empire is not only superior to them in terms of military affairs, but also in terms of people's livelihood, and even the construction and scenery are far beyond their comparison. ”

Wei Sisi heard the sage say this, and said to the sage: "I see, the minister still thought that the sage was frightened by the earth ox and wanted to come to this place with few buildings. ”

The sage touched his nose and said to Wei Sisi: "I am not as unbearable as you think, but after I recently took the elixir, the heat is unbearable, and now I live in the palace in the summer, I only feel uncomfortable with the heat, and the six gods have no master." ”

Wei Sisi persuaded: "Sage, about the elixir, the minister has heard that if it is not a natural immortal body, mortals will not be beneficial to take it, but it will be harmful. ”

The sage said with some displeasure: "This Dan Xian Concubine also takes it, and there is nothing wrong with seeing the Xian Concubine." ”

"Concubine Xian Niangniang has deep internal strength and can dissolve erysipelas. The saint asks for forgiveness for the minister's words, and with the saint's internal skills, he is not as far as the virtuous concubine. ”

Concubine Wen saw that something was wrong with the atmosphere, so she said into the distance: "Look, sage, the sycamore tree in front of you is about to grow, and in a few years, the sage can sit under the sycamore tree and enjoy the shade." ”

When Wei Sisi heard this, he said to the sage: "This is good, but I don't know that the sage can be in this Qinghua Garden, and there are still a few summers to spend time." ”

When the sage heard this, he touched his nose and sighed at Wei Sisi: "After all, I still can't see the scene of the sycamore leaves falling and not sweeping, let's go to the Peony Pavilion." ”

The sage took Wei Sisi to the Peony Pavilion together, Wei Sisi looked at the Peony Pavilion, thoughtful, and the sage said to Wei Sisi: "I have waited for so many years, and finally invited the peony fairy back then into this Heavenly Imperial Garden." ”

At this time, Yu Cong walked in, and after saluting, the sage smiled and said, "Time is urgent, I am also in the Peony Pavilion, while enjoying the beautiful scenery around, while listening to the two Aiqing talk about raising Lianyin." ”

After the sage finished speaking, he was the first to speak: "Now there are two opinions in the court, one is to adjust the income, and the other is to raise the incorruptible silver. ”

Yu Cong was the first to speak: "Enlighten the sage, the ministers and other rulers, and it is better to regulate and adjust the Yulu." ”

"Wei Shiyu, do you have any doubts about what Lord Yu said?"

"The ministers are courageous, stealing the big and small ministers, clearly establishing regulations, and increasing each by 60 times, which is not only difficult for the right government to raise. Moreover, the rising tide lifts all boats, prices rise, and the official income is unique, which is the most harmful to the people's livelihood. This is the root of the demise of the Chen Dynasty, and the saint must not fail to investigate. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Sisi gave the example of the Chen Dynasty, the Chen Dynasty has officials to wait, high salaries and incorruptible, a small Jiupin County Cheng, a year's Yulu is 300 stones, as for high-level officials, tens of thousands of households can support a family.

These officials were rich, although they were not greedy, they were extravagant, and half of the world's grain and silk treasures were destroyed in their hands, and the final result was just as the fuwen written by later generations said. Chen loves luxury, and people also miss his home. How can I take all the baht and use it like mud and sand? so that the pillars of the negative building are more than the farmers of the south acre. There are more rafters than workers on the plane. The nail head phosphorus is more than the millet grains in Yu. The tile seams are uneven, more than the silk strands around the body. The straight bar and horizontal sill, more than the city of the nine earths. The orchestra is dumb, more than the words of the city. so that the people of the world dare not speak but dare to be angry.

In the end, Wei Sisi read the text here, and then did not say anything more, and then continued to state: "The ministers in this world have different abilities and abilities, and they are not equal to each other. For high-performing officials, the imperial court should pay more incorruptible silver to show their ability. For those officials with poor performance, the court should pay less or no to pay in order to be mediocre. In this way, the inferior can improve, and the sage can be happy. ”

After Wei Sisi finished speaking, he looked at Yucong and continued: "The sage has now issued an order to all ministries and the governors of all prefectures to strictly evaluate all the ministers, pacify the ranks, and serve as a reference for the imperial court to maintain integrity, so that the people will pay grain and taxes, and they will have few complaints. ”

When the sage heard this, he said to Yu Cong: "Derun, Wei Shishu is thoughtful, reasonable, and based on history, you seem short-sighted. ”

When Yu Cong heard this, he retorted: "Enlightened Sage, what Wei Shi said is indeed right, but it is too empty. This is up and down the country, the states and counties are listed, and the subordinate ministers are as numerous as a star chess. If it is assessed one by one, it will not be completed in two or three years. And three years later, the promotion and retreat are another situation, and the distribution of incorruptible silver will be chaotic and full of mistakes. ”

The sage nodded, and said to Wei Sisi, "Promotion, advance and retreat, frequent changes, what Derun said is also true. ’

"Make up for the leaks with heart, and it's up to you. From the bottom up, the assessment of merit must be completed in six months, and if it cannot be completed, it will be parked to raise incorruptible silver. In this way, why two years, half a year can be successful. ”

The sage looked at Yu Cong again and said to Yu Cong: "The rise and fall of all industries, the years of success, and the poor government decree are not the blessing of the court. ”

"O saint, now that everything is changing, everything is seeking its speed. However, the tiger walks the ox cart and does not want to reach it quickly. The minister implored the saint to consider it carefully, so as not to help the seedlings grow and suffer before they benefited. ”

When Wei Sisi heard this, he said to Yu Cong: "Lord Yu, the minister heard that before Lord Yu became an official, there were three difficult things for the saint, and Lord Yu decided overnight. The speed of closing the case was thunderous. It can be seen from this that officialdom is planned by people. It is easy to walk with a tiger, not to be able to do it, but not to do it. Sage, the minister is now going back to Tiance Pavilion to do business, so he will retire first. ”

"Wei Shiyu, now that I finally found a little time to visit the garden, why don't you stay for a while and have a while?"

"Although Dayu Guo levied 10,000 taels of silver throughout the year, the expenditure on raising incorruptible silver reached one-dozenth, and this account is still difficult to calculate, how can the minister be in any mood?"

When the sage heard this, he sighed and said, "That's it, that's it, let's go back to the palace, let's go back to the palace, there are a lot of things to be busy with, and when these are all solved, let's come and play." ”

"Saint, the affairs of this world are handled by the ministers, and the saints don't need to worry about it, and the ministers know what to do."

The sage smiled, ignored it, and asked Concubine Wen to enjoy the fun, and he went back to the palace with Wei Sisi first.

When he arrived at Tiance Pavilion, Wei Sisi began to deal with government affairs, and the sage began to make criticisms there.

A month later, the sage said to Wei Sisi, "Wei Shi, I'm going to go out." ”

"Go and see the saint, your eternal auspicious box?"

The sage nodded, picked up the map, and said to Wei Sisi: "Look at it, the Sacred Virtue Divine Monument, the Longen Palace, the Square Tower, the Famous City, the Underground Palace, and these thirty-two stone men and beasts have all been carved. ”

Wei Sisi ignored the excited saint and said to the saint, "Is this necessary?" ”

"Three days, three days back and forth is enough."

"So how long will it take for all the 10,000-year-old auspicious boxes to be repaired?"

"At least five or six years, I don't dare to waste money and labor, so I can only build slowly."

When Wei Sisi heard this, he said unceremoniously: "Then why should the saint go to see it? Anyway, the saint, you can't see the day when it will be completed, what will it look like, and what does it have to do with you, the saint? ”

"I can't do anything in three days, if I live and can't see my 10,000-year-old auspiciousness, even if I die, I won't be blind."

"In three days, the saint can write a new rule about the imperial court's copper smelting with Yucong."

When the sage heard this, he sighed and said, "This 10,000-year-old auspicious box was built from the first year of Zhaoning, and now that it has been 12 years since Zhaoning, aren't I going to go and see it?" ”

When Wei Sisi heard this, he pointed to the plaque written by the saint on the wall, and the saint shook his head helplessly, not saying anything.

At this time, Wei Sisi said to the sage: "Sage, you haven't named the Ten Thousand Years Jiqi yet, I don't know what your plans are?" ”

When the sage heard this, he said happily, "Then you can guess, others can't guess, can't you guess?" ”

Wei Sisi said calmly: "Sage, you don't want to name it, but you want your prince to give it down. Your mausoleum will surely fall on a Zhao character. ”

"Then Wei Shiyu, do you think I am worthy of the four words of Shangmingde and meritorious?"

"Whether a saint is worthy or not, it is not up to the minister to say, but the saint, you, Zhaoling, am afraid it will be difficult."

"No, Yaodi, this kid, won't give me some bad words. If I can't get a Zhao word, long, mao, long, Yu I will not dislike it. ”

When Wei Sisi said this, he said to the sage: "According to the minister's estimate, I'm afraid you won't be able to get these four saints." ”

"Bastard, that's it, then I take a step back, filial piety, peace, Jing, and peace, you can get it in this I. If these four can't do it, just remove me from the Imperial Tomb. ”
