The first lady is sweet and sweet

Chapter 619 Difficult! (four more)
Hearing this, Shen Zhouheng smiled naively, not knowing where his hands and feet were.

"So happy!" Yongtai Di looked at him and said with a funny look.

"Your Majesty Jinkou Yuyan praised the minister, of course he's happy." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with clear eyes and said.

Emperor Yongtai watched him bend down, pointed to the stone bench in front of him and said, "Sit, sit down and talk, I'm uncomfortable looking at this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shen Zhouheng saluted after hearing the words, then sat down with his robes up.

"The emperor only knows that the minister has been admitted to the top spot, but he doesn't know about the academic career of the minister." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with a frank look and said.

"There are county schools, academies, what's so difficult about studying?" Emperor Yongtai said simply, looking at him with innocent eyes, as if he didn't know the world.

Shen Zhouheng finally knew where the sense of disobedience these days was?

The book knowledge of Emperor Yongtai is very familiar to him, but it is impossible for him to understand the real life of the most ordinary people without personal experience.

Shen Zhou looked at the blue sky outside the pavilion, and he couldn't even get out of the palace.

You expect him to understand the suffering of the people, and he understands a little why Emperor Hui of Jin could say: Why not eat minced meat.

In the words of his family Yaoyao, the four bodies are not diligent, the grains are not divided, and they are separated from the people.

The delicate-minded Emperor Yongtai found that Shen Zhouheng's expression was wrong, "Why did I say the wrong thing."

"No!" Hearing this, Shen Zhouheng shook his head quickly and said, "It's just that the family can't afford the expensive repairs, especially after my father left." Then he said, "The minister is in his hometown, since the imperial examinations were held in the Sui Dynasty, The minister is the first champion."

Emperor Yongtai opened his mouth into an O shape when he heard the words, "How is that possible?"

"I dare not lie." Shen Zhouheng said immediately after hearing the words.

"I remember your hometown. It's a land of nine provinces, but it's not a barren land. It's uncivilized!" Emperor Yongtai looked directly at him and said.

"Maybe it's too small!" Shen Zhouheng looked at him in surprise and said, he really inquired about everything, "So the level of county school in this academy is not as popular as Jiangnan culture."

"Yeah! There are more scientific expeditions in Jiangnan than other places." Emperor Yongtai said sarcastically, "So they hugged together, and it was normal."

"Uh..." Shen Zhou crossed his brows with his index finger. This involved party disputes. He couldn't say anything. After thinking about it, he said, "Twenty taels a year is enough for an ordinary farmer's family."

"How many years?" Emperor Yongtai looked at him with round eyes and said.

"20 taels." Shen Zhouheng looked at the astonished Emperor Yongtai and said again.

"I only need [-] taels per egg, and two eggs are enough for the farmers to chew for a year." Emperor Yongtai looked at him in disbelief and said.

"What?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him in shock and said, "Ten taels of silver for one, and seven or eight wen for an egg when the minister was in Pingyi."

"Eggs sold in the vegetable market in Beijing cost ten cents each." Emperor Yongtai looked at him calmly and said, "Ten taels of silver is the price quoted by the imperial kitchen."

Shen Zhouheng understood at once, where did the extra money go, greedy!
Emperor Yongtai said with a wry smile, "I don't even have anyone around me who can tell the truth."

"Uh..." Shen Zhouheng looked at him nervously, he couldn't say these words, he was not familiar with everything now.

"You don't have to be nervous, I didn't mean you." Emperor Yongtai said with a bitter smile on his lips, "The most annoying thing is that everyone knows it, but hides it from me alone."

"What is the emperor going to do?" Shen Zhouheng looked at him with deep and upright eyes and said.

"I really want to open the killing ring." Emperor Yongtai said viciously, "If you kill them, you won't be wronged, but you can't! This emperor makes me terrified, and there is no trusted person around, who is coaxing you, Holding you. The cobweb-like relationship of the ministers is from the same school, the same class, the same country, and the same department. I am now looking around at a loss, feeling isolated and helpless.”

This feeling scares him!Hands trembled involuntarily.

Shen Zhou pursed his lips and looked at him who was uneasy and said, "Xu Shoufu is dedicated to the emperor, and he does his best to stand in front of the courtiers. The main hall of Xu Shoufu's mansion can be placed with a coffin!"

"Zhen know, so he just drenched the blood of the dog I scolded, and I have endured it." Emperor Yongtai closed his eyes and looked at him and said, "I know he is difficult!"

Shen Zhouheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words, knowing that it was okay to be rude, if it was indiscriminate, it would be really embarrassing.

Xu Shoufu's fierce words were indeed unbearable, but the emperor did not use his power to suppress people at all, and there was no court staff Xu Shoufu.

But this is also related to the current situation of the temple.

When the emperor did something wrong, the scholar-officials could dissuade and persuade them according to the interpretation of Confucian scriptures.

This can be understood why there were some upright ministers in all dynasties, they always spoke out and dared to remonstrate, and even contradicted the emperor, because they believed that although the emperor was supreme and where the Taoist line resided, the right to interpret the Taoist line was in the hands of the scholar-officials.

Even when the imperial power is supreme now, the officials still risked being beaten or even killed to speak bluntly, and take pride in being beaten—the more they are beaten, the more it shows that the scholar-officials occupy the commanding heights of the Taoist system, and the emperor is in the Taoist system. I can't defeat me, so I have to use force.

This is the emperor's cowardice.

"Why didn't the emperor talk to Xu Shoufu openly and honestly! You two have the same goal, both for the sake of the country and the society!" Shen Zhouheng suggested positively.

Emperor Yongtai hesitated for a while after hearing the words, then shook his head decisively and said, "No!"

"Why?" Shen Zhouheng didn't understand, "The emperor doesn't say it, and Xu Shoufu doesn't know either. With the harmony between the emperor and the ministers, the emperor can realize his wish!"

Emperor Yongtai clenched his hands tightly in his sleeve, "The concubine is not looking at the records of promotion and transfer in the past year or so of the Ministry of Personnel."

Shen Zhouheng understood when he heard the words. In the past two years, Xu Shoufu has aggressively eliminated dissidents and promoted his cronies.

"It seems that the concubine has thought of it." Emperor Yongtai looked at him calmly and said.

"Then what does the emperor mean? It seems that the party struggle can't be eradicated for thousands of years." Shen Zhou's clear eyes looked at him and said bluntly, "Thinking about it, it is only one's own people who can master the decrees. Different, then criticize each other, nothing can be done."

"That's why I'm distressed!" Emperor Yongtai said, holding his chin in his hands and frowning. "It's not right to do this. Some people were demoted and left home just because they didn't belong to Taifu."

"The emperor refers to those officials who do practical things and serve the people wholeheartedly." Shen Zhouheng looked at him with burning eyes and said.

"Hmm!" Yongtai Emperor nodded lightly.
