Chapter 951 How to change this matter?
"Returning to Your Majesty, the minister is the county magistrate who acted on the order of the county magistrate. The magistrate said that it was the Queen Mother Bao who agreed."

Emperor Ulay's face turned pale when he heard about it.

He still had a little bit of luck, but now it's all gone.

Seeing this, Shen Liuzhen raised his chin slightly in comfort. Although his face was expressionless, it was obvious that he had won.

Xie Yuan glanced at Shen Liuzhen with complicated emotions.

She disagreed with Shen Liuzhen's failure to report the knowledge, hiding these illegal things, and assisting the evil in disguise.

However, as he said, His Majesty has unknowingly lowered his bottom line in compromising the Empress Dowager again and again, like boiling a frog in warm water.

If it didn't hurt him once, he would just keep pampering him.In that way, protecting the queen mother will only pose a greater threat.

Xie Yuan sighed in his heart: It's hard to say, maybe this is a battle between courts, fighting for people's hearts and treacherous schemes.

After all, her experience in the Southern Song Dynasty had already told her that it was far from enough to have a passionate heart and a bright and upright heart.

Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's face showed a look of disappointment, his posture was straight, his eyes were downcast and he said nothing.

……

……

The emperor didn't give any order to deal with it, and came back directly.

After arriving at the previously agreed place and joining the emperor's guard of honor, the emperor himself went into the imperial carriage to rest in a depressed mood.

Xie Yuan dared to ask Shen Liuzhen what the emperor meant.She sighed and asked with some disappointment:
"Hey... Is Your Majesty still planning to favor the Empress Dowager and the others? If he continues like this, then I will be really disappointed."

At that time, they had already entered their tent and were washing their hands. Xie Yuan sighed and wiped the water off his face.

Shen Liuzhen smiled sweetly, with a very proud expression on his face, he glanced outside, covered his hands in Xie Yuan's ear and said:

"You are wrong, this time the Empress Dowager Bao is really finished."

Xie Yuan felt his ears itchy from the hot air, raised his hand to wipe it, and asked in surprise:

"Why? Where did you see that?"

Shen Liuzhen was in a good mood. Holding his wide sleeves, he paced and said:
"Oh, you don't understand His Majesty's mind. If he still wants to side with the Queen Mother's party as usual, then he can easily order punishment, as long as it doesn't hurt the Queen Mother, and then it will be fine.

Now His Majesty, he has something in his heart, he doesn't want to let it go, that's why his face is heavy and depressed...

He is now at war with heaven and man in his heart.So it must be a big decision for him to make such a difficult decision. "

After hearing this, Xie Yuan felt that it made sense, so he nodded and asked sincerely:
"Then will His Majesty kill the Empress Dowager Bao? Will he hesitate and give up again?"

Shen Liuzhen's happy mood suddenly faded, he lowered his eyes and remained silent for a while, then said angrily:

"I don't know...whether to kill or not, anyway, she won't be able to step on our heads in the future!"

……

……

In the next few days, they walked through several counties, and also broke away from the team several times, chatting with local old people.

The emperor never mentioned the matter of protecting the Empress Dowager again, as if he forgot, but at the same time, he gave Shen Liuzhen an order to let the nearby wind-collecting envoys come to see her, and he would personally meet her.

Moreover, all kinds of information materials from the DPRK were sent over by the empress who supervised the country in Pingcheng in an urgent communication.

So the emperor who was running around on the road was more busy and tense than in the palace when he said he was traveling, and everywhere revealed the calmness when the storm came.

The eunuch serving the emperor came down from the imperial carriage with the plate in his arms. With a sad face, he found Shen Liuzhen and said:
"Shen Shizhong, please persuade His Majesty, he is in a bad mood, and he didn't eat his busy meal, no... the good meal is cold again. After a few words of advice from our family, His Majesty will stare... You are close to him , You go to persuade, it will not be good for your health if you continue like this."

Shen Liuzhen looked at the food and said to him:
"You go to heat it again and bring it over, and I will deliver it."

"Hey... good." The eunuch agreed happily.

But just after finishing speaking, another little eunuch ran over and said to Shen Liuzhen:
"Shen Shizhong, His Majesty ordered you to go there."

Shen Liuzhen had no choice but to tell the eunuch, "You go to heat it up first, and bring it over when it's hot, and I'll pick it up." After that, he turned and went to the imperial carriage.

As soon as Shen Liuzhen got into the car, he just called out "Your Majesty." Emperor Ulei called Shen Liuzhen to sit down, and said directly:

"I have traveled a few counties in the past few days, and found that the laws of officials taking office and allocating land to the localities were indeed ill-considered. At that time, I just thought that in order to prevent officials from plundering and corrupting the local area, the imperial court granted them land and cut off their land. Excuse, who ever thought... hey..."

Emperor Ulay sighed deeply as he spoke, quite remorseful.

Shen Liuzhen comforted him and said:

"Your Majesty...it's not your fault. During the discussion in the court at that time, so many people didn't think that there was such a problem."

The emperor sneered when he heard it. His eyes seemed to be sore from exhaustion, so he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, and said:
"I don't believe they didn't think of it. I'm afraid they thought of it, but because it's beneficial to them, they don't want to say anything..."

At the end of the emperor's speech, he seemed to be very angry, and suddenly cursed sullenly: "Damn his mother..."

Shen Liuzhen was stunned, and then burst out laughing with a "puchi".

Seeing him laughing, the emperor knew that as the king of a country, he somewhat lost his dignity by cursing people like this, so he cleared his throat in embarrassment and said:

"Stop laughing, tell me how to change this matter."

Only then did Shen Liuzhen restrain his expression, sit upright, thought for a while and said seriously:

"These days, I have been visiting the people with His Majesty, and I have thought about it seriously. It is not all a bad thing to say that officials take office in the local area and distribute the land. At least the incidents of robbery and corruption have indeed decreased a lot.

And generally speaking, local officials will not be transferred after taking office, so the previous laws did not cause too many land annexations.Your Majesty does not need to blame himself too much.

As for how to solve this loophole, the minister believes that the fields assigned to officials of the corresponding level can be used as salary fields.

Follow the official position, not the person. "

Emperor Shi Yu Wulei's eyes lit up, and with a look of joy, he leaned forward, put his hands on his knees for support, and asked:

"Details."

Shen Liuzhen said:
"Bentian is the land that is used as a salary. After an official takes office, he lives on it, but it is still the land of the court in essence. After the official leaves office, the land will be returned and left for the next generation to use."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Ulay clapped his hands happily and said:

"Same as I thought!"
