Work overtime

Finally, Li Beichen couldn't help asking Chen Ning: "Chen Qing, who do you think is most likely to release these messages?"

Chen Ning thought for a moment and said: "It may be someone with ulterior motives, or a patriot, or it may be word of mouth, spreading rumors. People like to listen to legendary news, or the more outrageous the better, or the more outrageous the better. The lives as closely related as possible.

Just like the rumors of the Fugui people, it is likely that ordinary people like to watch heroes save the beauty, and good people are rewarded with good rewards. "

Li Beichen nodded thoughtfully, and asked, "What about Prime Minister Meng?"

"Meng Xiang's article, I don't know, it may be more complicated. Maybe it was released by the Xilin Party members who like to criticize the current problems. It may also be that the people are suffering from wars and don't want to fight so they arrange him. It's all possible."

"Then how does Chen Qing think about dealing with the Xilin Party members?" Li Beichen has also suffered from the Xilin Party members for a long time.

Most of these Xilin party members were born in a family in the south of the Yangtze River. They were well-read poems and books, satirized the government, commented on officials, advocated honesty and honesty, revitalized the administration of officials, opened up their voices, reduced taxes, and eliminated long-standing abuses.

You are right.

It's all what Li Beichen wants to do.

But everyone doesn't like being scolded, pointed out, asked to do what to do, even if they know in their hearts that these requirements are right, they want to do the same.

It is also a consideration for Li Beichen to take advantage of the trend and vigorously fight corruption this time.

However, he could see that there were great differences within this group of Xilin party members, and there were only a few who were really upright and dared to stand out.

For example, Meng Xiang surrendered himself that day, and he wanted to forgive Meng Xiang, and when he advocated that he could be pardoned by surrendering himself, only one jumped out and pointed out his inappropriate behavior according to the laws of Ming Dynasty.

Li Beichen appreciates such a deadly remonstrance, it's better than the stagnant pool before, where everyone lies flat.

What's more, if you dare to jump out directly to confront Meng Xiang, it can be used.

It's just that these Xilin party members only criticize but not praise, he doesn't like it.

They demand to rectify the administration of officials and punish corruption all day long, and now my high-pressure rectification is quite effective.They advocate tax reduction and exemption, and I directly exempted the agricultural tax.

As a result, the group of Xilin party members remained silent without saying a word. None of them specially posted on Weibo, wrote on the official account, or held seminars to promote propaganda to the leaders.

"Xilin party members," Chen Ning observed the emperor's expression, trying to figure out the holy meaning, "they are literati, and literati tend to be in a hurry, sitting in the study, complaining, and just say what the common people like to hear.

Since they are so concerned about the country and the people, let them do what they said.Let them go where there is danger and difficulty, and send them to disaster relief, control local plagues, and deal with local riots.Giving them a place to use their talents is a reflection of the emperor's admonishment like a streamer and his love for the people like a son. "

Li Beichen smiled knowingly when he heard this.

Put high hats on them, let them go down to the localities, give them a field to flex their fists, let them grind on things and grind in the local officialdom.

If it is really successful, it will be highly praised, and if it fails, it will be punished with an iron fist.

Posting public accounts and holding symposiums advocates severely punishing corruption and cleaning up officials, but he himself is corrupt. Once investigated and dealt with, the crime will be aggravated.

At least it can deter those who have nothing to complain about and follow the rhythm.

It also gives those who are truly talented and dedicated to the public a chance to stand out through hard work.

"Has Chen Qing ever been in a hurry before?" Li Beichen asked with a smile.

Chen Ning's face turned cold, and it seemed that he had hit his foot with a brick, "I'm really ashamed, since I'm the only one left in my family, I'm busy eating and running around all day, I don't dare to be idle. Hands stop talking, idle I can’t protect my own life. After Brother Murong kindly took in the minister, the minister felt that his talents were ignorant and he studied hard all day long, hoping that one day he could pass the imperial examination and serve the court. Unfortunately, he never passed the exam.”

Li Beichen was just teasing Chen Ning, so he stopped talking and asked Chen Ning to retreat.

Chen Ning was not staying today, so he summoned Concubine Jing to accompany her for lunch.

※※※※※※※

Yongshou Palace.

Concubine Jing was massaging her face with a jade gadget.

She just expressed her attitude directly.

That bitch Hefei is on the same level as her.Why go to her palace to pay her respects.

Pooh!
She thought bitterly, and drank another bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup.

I just learned from the maid close to me that starting from this month, no matter who is in the palace, whoever breaks something and needs to remake it, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will pay the price and buy a new one at their own expense.

She sent people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to bring over the quotation brochure and look at it carefully. If you don't look at it, you don't know.A plate actually costs 500 taels.

Isn't this a scam?It's still the kind of tricking yourself.

The more she looked at her pair of Danfeng eyes, the wider her eyes became, and her complexion became uglier. She couldn't help raising her hand to caress her chest, and the emerald green jade bracelet slid down her lotus root-like arm.

The golden step shaking on her head usually does not move when Concubine Jing walks briskly, but now it trembles violently, reflecting a golden light.

Even when Concubine Jing was angry, she was angry like jewels, full of style.

Sun Zibin, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, sighed secretly, the empress is really beautiful, no matter how much she praises it, she can't exaggerate it.What's more, the mother's family background.This is simply a person who can't afford to offend.

I was very nervous.I was afraid that something might go wrong.

"Eunuch Sun, tell me, how can a plate cost 500 taels?"

Sun Zibin said with a smile on his face, "Mrs. Hui, this is the market price of this plate."

"You empty-handed white wolves in love, you don't spend a penny, you rely on things from tributes from all over the world. And then sell them to me at a high price?!" Concubine Jing said angrily, her pretty face was radiant when she was angry.

Sun Zibin immediately knelt down and kowtowed to the ground, groaning secretly in his heart.

"Concubine Jing, calm down. This is the new rule set by the emperor, and the slaves just follow it. All the palaces will be compensated at this price, without exception. The emperor said that we should be diligent and thrifty in managing the family, sympathize with the suffering of the people, and cherish the hardships of material resources."

Sun Zibin knelt on the ground bitterly, not daring to raise his head, thinking to himself, the emperor is the one who sits in the manor, and the emperor makes money by opening the casino.What can we waiters do.

Concubine Jing suddenly lost her temper.

Bengong had never been wronged like this in the Prime Minister's Mansion. He had to walk when he went out, and he didn't have to sit in a sedan chair. If he was in a bad mood, he would lose money if he dropped a cup.

This day is over.

Woo woo woo.

And I heard from the palace maids that now all the imperial physicians sit in sedan chairs in the palace.

It is said that the emperor is sympathetic to the imperial doctors who are busy with work and walk hard, and the number of daily walking steps always tops the list, so he gave them special medicine to relieve fatigue.

They deserve it too? !
That's what they were supposed to do.Holding the ancestral golden rice bowl, what's wrong with walking a few more steps.

Concubine Jing stayed up for two days and couldn't walk anymore.

Thinking about it, since the palace wants to save money, can't she pay for the equipment by herself?

Ask someone to bring a message to his father, Chen Xiang, and ask him to send a sedan chair into the palace to travel.

In the end, her father said that she could not support her specialization. Now that her father rode to get off work every day, how could her daughter sit in a sedan chair in the palace against the imperial edict.

He suggested that she learn to ride a horse as soon as possible, saying that this would not only enhance her relationship with the emperor, but also exercise her body.

Concubine Jing heard that riding a horse requires a layer of skin on her thighs to learn.

But if the emperor is willing to teach, she is reluctant to learn.

After all, sitting in the arms of the emperor and riding on horseback, how pleasant it would be!
She was thinking wildly here, without speaking, Sun Zibin didn't dare to move, let alone leave.

Hearing the news from outside, Xie Cairen and several other servants agreed to come and visit the empress.

She came back to her senses, sneered, and glanced at Sun Zibin, "Boss Sun, get up. Since it's the emperor's intention, then I can't blame you."

"Thank you for your compassion. If your mother has nothing to say, the slave will leave first." Eunuch Sun stood aside with his hands down, heaving a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally passed the test.

"Wait." Concubine Jing raised her eyes, "Let them all come in."
