For an emperor, it is his duty to meet Zaisuke every day and deal with political affairs every day. It's fresh and motivating at first. When the novelty wears off, exhaustion is inevitable.

Zhao Zhen persevered by habit and instinct for power.

In the early morning, after Zhao Zhen briefly ate some snacks, he looked at Zhang Bannian, who had been waiting for a long time, and said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhang Bannian heard the phlegm, so he suppressed the worry in his heart and said, "Someone outside has ...... Say that you are merciful, those victims are in difficulty, and this time they will definitely be able to reorganize into the Xiang Army......"

Zhao Zhen just got up, his face was still a little swollen, and there was more majesty under the candle light.

"It won't mean that I'm merciful......"

Zhao Zhen coughed, and a waiter came with a spittoon on his side.

"Poof!"

He spat out a mouthful of phlegm, felt much more comfortable, and sighed: "Most likely to say that I am weak and can be bullied......"

The emperor grew old, but he had a deeper understanding of human nature.

"Fetch the elixir."

Zhang Bannian's brows furrowed, and he watched Zhao Zhen take a light red pill.

Zhao Zhen used the pill, rinsed it again, then spit it out, got up and said, "Xiang Jun......"

He sighed, "It's a temptation, but it's insatiable." I said that I would let the hundred officials in the capital come up with ideas, just to let them retreat in the face of difficulties. But these people...... Annoys me! ”

His face gradually flushed, which was the heat after taking the pill.

And he used the self-title of "I", which shows that he is not happy.

Zhang Bannian said: "Those people ...... The official family, originally they died down, but after summoning the advice of hundreds of officials in the capital, they ...... instead"

"Think it's my weakness?"

Zhao Zhen was really angry: "I thought about it and passed it, but these people have to make inches, it's just ...... Shameless! ”

Officials rarely scold people, and a shameless sentence represents his greatest anger.

yes! He wanted to deal with the matter calmly, but there were always some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and try it again.

Zhao Zhen's breathing was a little panting, and Chen Zhongheng hurriedly brought hot tea. After a few sips, he calmed down a bit.

Zhang Bannian was very angry when he saw him, so he wanted to find a topic to diverge, but Zhao Zhen asked: "What did you say in the recital on the thirteenth lang yesterday?" ”

Yesterday, before the palace gate was closed, a piece of music entered the palace, Zhao Zhen was at the concubine's place, and when he heard that it was Zhao Zongshi, he didn't care about it for the time being.

Chen Zhongheng remembered taking a look at it at the time, and said: "It is said that the kid does not know anything, but the enthusiastic minister refuses to suppress it, if there is anything wrong with the son, the minister is willing to bear it, and I implore Your Majesty to forgive the minister......"

"That's it!" Zhao Zhen rubbed his eyes, his gaze was indifferent, "Is he even unwilling to modify Zhao Zhongjiao's recital?" It can be seen that it is a deep love for licking calves, and I ......"

He walked away slowly, and Chen Zhongheng hurriedly chased after him.

Zhao Zhen's eyes were more desolate, he shook his head slightly, and gradually, the heat brought by the pill came up again.

……

Zhao Zhen's personality is almost touched, so for such things, his thoughts can't be hidden from Zaifu.

The attitude of the officials in this matter is to calm things down, and at the same time, to be able to teach those officials a lesson, as for the future......

Nothing after.

Those people are just a temptation, scold, take a few to open the knife, remove those who should be dismissed, and punish those who should be fined.

In this way, everyone is happy, and it is very peaceful.

The official family is getting older and older, and they have long lost their ambitions, and what they love most is peace and tranquility.

The Zai Fu all have their own set of people, and they also want them to come out to show their faces at this opportunity, so in the process of Zhao Zhen watching the music, they all have their own little abacus.

In the hall, Zhao Zhen put down a book and praised: "This Li Qing is good." ”

Han Qi's face turned dark, thinking to himself that this Li Qing seems to be Zeng Gongliang's person, right?

Zeng Gongliang coughed dryly behind him, with smugness in his voice.

Li Qing is his person, and the advice on this note is to make a smooth transition, that is, not to make trouble.

"This Chen Shi is okay."

Han Qi paused and smiled slightly.

This Chen Shi is his person, and the music is also based on stability.

The old emperor above is only maintaining it at the moment, and he doesn't like the style that is too radical.

So they are very sure that their people will be rewarded.

Zhao Zhen got a copy of the note, sighed, and said, "...... Disaster relief first, and at the same time send people to check whether local officials are derelict in their duties......"

This is a bit intense!

Zhao Zhen has become more and more soft-hearted recently, and he doesn't want to take care of many things and don't want to be punished, so some things like corruption have begun to emerge recently.

Han Qi felt that this performance was a stunned person, so he couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

“…… Kaifeng Prefecture requisitioned a lot of errand officials, those people abandoned their livelihood to work for the official family, and after returning home, the livelihood was also delayed, if it was not good, the family would be ruined, and the local government's taxes were gone, which was a bit of a suspicion of exhaustion...... This time, those little officials should be taken down a lot, and the minister has been thinking for a long time, can these victims temporarily replace those little officials? Give a monthly payment, and such people will naturally do their best......"

Han Qi raised his head suddenly, and there was more urgency in his eyes: "This matter is not possible!" ”

Zhao Zhen continued to look at Song Shu.

The so-called errand servants are to do miscellaneous work for the government, which is generally served by landlords and wealthy households, but later it gradually became a formality, and most of the official households, large landlords and wealthy households do not serve, and the monks and Taoists of the single Ding households do not serve, so there are not many options left.

According to the meaning of this letter, the victims are temporarily hired to serve, which is actually a disguised change from forced labor to a mercenary system.

Han Qi said: "Your Majesty, once the errand is changed, there will be a lot of trouble in various places, and if all of them are hired, those people will take the opportunity to exploit the people......

Han Qi is not a fool, he used to be a new force of the reformists, and he has already seen through this, so he found the most fatal problem at once.

Zhao Zhen raised his head and said, "It's not easy, but it's ...... Good idea. ”

Han Qi's heart tightened, thinking to himself who was this to be praised by the official family.

"Your Majesty, this matter cannot be moved!"

Zhao Zhen's eyes were a little more angry, and he said, "I will think carefully, Bianliang...... I thought about it slowly. ”

it!

Han Qi was instantly stunned.

Do you really want to try it?

This is the ......

Zeng Gongliang was also a little uneasy, but after thinking about it, he calmed down.

Zhao Zhen said Muran: "Zhu Qing went separately. ”

Officials are starting to drive people out, which is not common.

After leaving the main hall, Han Qi complained: "This kind of thing is not good to start, otherwise it will easily cause disputes in the future." ”

Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "It's just one place." ”

Han Qi stopped and turned around and said, "One step is the beginning!" ”

Ouyang Xiu looked at him, and his casual appearance made Han Qi can't help but want to spray, but thinking that he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to spray Ouyang Xiu, he couldn't help but say: "Those people are staring, once they find that something is wrong, they will attack them in groups when the time comes...... Don't talk about you, the old man can't stop it. ”

He couldn't help but shudder when he remembered what had happened back then.

"Think about it, don't mess around."

"It can't be messed up."

Ouyang Xiu said very calmly: "Those people deceive people too much, the official family has to give them a moment, otherwise in the long run, kindness will be regarded as weakness, and that is not the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Zhao Zhen has always been benevolent, but this benevolence has a bottom line, if you think he is weak and can be bullied, then the emperor's instinct will give you a slap.

Han Qi knew this, so he persecuted Zhao Zhen, but it was only for the sake of the heir.

That's Guoben, and he has no choice.

But can this be persecuted?

He shook his head and said, "The officials should know that this matter is not to be done, those people ...... Let people scold it. ”

Then some people went to the political affairs hall, and when they returned later, the news gathered made Han Qi angry.

“…… They all talked about him left and right, and refused to agree. ”

“…… I also asked Xianggong who was the person. ”

The old man is his own person!

Han Qi picked up the inkstone and smashed it, with a whoosh, Chen Zhongheng happened to come in outside, he only felt that there was a black shadow coming towards him, but he didn't have time to react.

Sou!

The inkstone flew out against the top of his head, followed by a terrible howl outside.

"Whew!"

Chen Zhongheng slowly turned around to look, and saw a small official holding his shoulder and howling.

He turned around again, Han Qi wanted to apologize, but he refused to bow his head to the inner servant. The expression on his face changed for a moment, and then he froze.

Chen Zhongheng only felt weak and afraid.

If the inkstone just now had been lower, he would have been out of here.

"You...... You're going to kill someone? ”

Han Qi turned his face away, "The old man didn't see it." ”

This is his apology, very insincere, perfunctory, and with some contempt.

This is this character, Chen Zhongheng understands, but when it happens to him, he understands, but does not understand.

Han Qi from Nyima, you wait!

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!

Chen Zhongheng gritted his teeth and secretly hated, and then said with a straight face: "The official family said, let Shen An go and see the homes of those disaster victims." ”

This is the briefing.

Han Qi said stiffly: "Yes, the minister knows." ”

After Chen Zhongheng left, he complained: "This refuses to stop, who is the official family angry with?" ”

……

Shen An got the news and went there.

The homes of those victims were not far from Bianliang, and Shen An arrived that afternoon.

This is a village, and when you enter it, it is lifeless, and there is only one family there.

After seeing Shen An, Zhao Zhongjun and others, the family was so frightened that they quickly closed the door.

"There are cheats!"

Zhao Zhongjun subconsciously knocked on the door.

"We were sent by the DPRK."

There was a frightened gasp inside, and then someone asked, "Asahong?" ”

"It's from the DPRK and the government."

The door slowly opened a crack, and a pair of frightened eyes looked out inside the door.

Zhao Zhongjun is a young man, and Shen An behind him is young, as for the guards who followed, they were rushed by Shen An to check the situation in the village at this moment.

The door opened, and a thin man with a black face stood on the side with a cower, "The villain Chang Er, I've seen the nobleman." ”

He turned around and tugged, and an eight or nine-year-old girl was pulled out, followed by a boy of five or six years old.

The girl looked dumbfounded, and the boy was snorting, afraid to look at people.

The family of three was in rags, and Zhao Zhongjun saw that the girl's body was covered with a robe sewn from various rags, and there was hay inside, and tears somehow slipped down.

"Nobleman!"

Chang Er was a little panicked, and shouted to the girl: "Auntie, don't go and boil water soon!" ”

The glazed eyes moved, and then hurried out.

"No need."

Shen An saw that her shoes were torn and her three toes were exposed, so he said, "Just ask something, if someone threatens ...... You just have to say, as long as it's not an official, you can get him. ”

The eldest lady turned to look at her father and asked a little timidly, "Daddy, do you still want to boil water?" ”

"Get in!"

Chang Er scolded his daughter, but Shen An frowned and said, "What did the murderous child do?" ”

Chang Erdui smiled: "Villain...... The villain is used to it. ”

The daughter is a money-loser, which is a living example in this era.

The custom of marrying hard has forced families with daughters to be miserable, but they have to do so for the sake of face.

……

The first is to ask for a monthly pass.
