Reborn as a paranoid regent's sweetheart

Chapter 98
This emperor was really stupid, Xiao Che had just died, and he couldn't wait to take over everything.

It's fine if it's done well, but he can't do anything well. Not only did he increase taxes, he even started selling official positions. You know, selling official positions is not a joke, and it is very easy to shake the foundation of the country.

It would be salvageable if the people below secretly sold the official position, because at least those who bought the official position could still be afraid, but the emperor was stupid to sell it openly, which made those who spent money to buy the official position I have gained a lot of confidence. It used to be illegal to buy an official position with money, but now that the emperor sold it, they bought it, and there is no problem.

Speaking of which, the emperor sold it anyway, so what if I bought it?And the emperor also knows about this, my position is recognized by the emperor!
It has only just begun, and the disadvantages of this move have not yet been revealed, but what about a month later?What about a year later?

Can these illiterate things really govern this country?
The entire imperial court is full of fish and dragons, who knows what can be done.

Especially after knowing that Xiao Che's death was premeditated, everyone couldn't help wondering whether the emperor deliberately wanted to bring down the country.

Of course, these are all for later.

Shen Changming put down the pen and ink in his hand: "When you went, you took the official road, so you would naturally take a detour. He passed by the small road alone, so he didn't need to worry about anything, and naturally he was not afraid of anything."

"Okay." Shen Xi thought for a while, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.

"Then... does daddy know the relationship between the prince and that Zhao Shu?"

Anyway, it's my father, so it's okay to ask.

Shen Changming paused: "Zhao Shu? Is that Zhao Wuwei's daughter?"

"Yes, she really likes the prince." Shen Xi said angrily.

"Then how does the prince treat her?"

"At present, I don't see any intentions, but who can say this kind of thing well." Shen Xi said jealously.

Shen Changming was silent for a while, now that the prince has just returned to court, he naturally needs people's support, and it would be great if he could get Zhao Wuwei's support, although Zhao Wuwei is the prince's man, but he is still a little wavering.

It would be the best if the prince followed suit and married Zhao Shu.

It's just... Xi'er will definitely be unhappy.

"We'll talk about this later, and you don't need to worry too much."

As a courtier, Shen Changming naturally hoped that Xiao Che would marry Zhao Shu, but as father-in-law, he hoped that Xiao Che would only marry Xi'er alone.

At this moment, there was also a gust of wind and rain in the palace.

In the Ciluo Palace, the Queen Mother trembled with anger when she found out about the sale of her official position. She looked at the unrepentant emperor below and wished she could drive him out of the palace directly. What a waste, waste, waste!
"Emperor, emperor, you are absolutely ridiculous!" The queen mother said angrily, clutching her chest.

The emperor really couldn't figure out what he did wrong: "My mother, my son and minister are just doing this to fill the treasury. Now that the treasury is empty, I have to think of a way."

"Fool! Can filling the national treasury be obtained by selling official positions? Have you ever thought about what these people will do after buying official positions? Have you ever considered their knowledge and virtue? Have you ever thought about your Will these people who flow in now become moths of the imperial court in the future!" The queen mother really couldn't figure it out, the people she invited to teach the emperor were all famous teachers and scholars, how could they teach the emperor like this!

Speaking of this, the emperor was rather complacent: "I don't know about my mother. I have considered all these people who bought official positions. Not to mention that the family is very rich. I also went to school and invited my master when I was young. Although it can't be compared with those No. [-] Scholar Tanhua, they are still somewhat knowledgeable. What's more, what I sell are all petty officials, who can't even go to the court. Besides, they are still at the feet of the emperor. They can't make any troubles. "

"Thousands of miles long, collapsed in an ant's nest, respect the small and be cautious." The Queen Mother couldn't help shaking her head, the emperor was really stupid and hopeless: "Your Majesty, it's too late to stop now, don't wait until the people lose their hearts, You will regret it only when you are completely destroyed."

"My son knows." The emperor's expression was a little gloomy, but he obediently agreed: "My son still has some things to deal with, so I won't accompany my mother for now."

"If you go on like this, there will definitely be a second or third Xiao Che appearing in the court. Your Majesty should go back and think about it."

Seeing the way the emperor turned and left, the queen mother sighed slightly.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry, Your Majesty should know well." Fu Hai, the eunuch who is closest to the Empress Dowager, stepped forward to persuade: "In the past, Your Majesty was suffocated by Xiao Che, but now he finally got rid of Xiao Che's. Control is naturally easy to advance aggressively, and it will be fine when it stabilizes after a while."

"Xiao Che." The Empress Dowager's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Whether your death is real or fake, the Ai Family wants you to go and never return!"

The emperor returned to the imperial study room, thinking about what the queen mother said, the more he became angry, how could he let the second Xiao Che get up?Isn't the mother's words just scolding him for being incompetent?

"An Decai, go tell Jiang Chengtao to come to see me." The emperor said angrily.

Ander was naturally willing to do this kind of errand, which was much safer than serving the emperor who was on the verge of fury.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ander ran away in a panic, and the emperor was still angry when he looked at him.

What did he do wrong?They are all irrelevant official positions, and they can't interfere with the affairs of the court at all, so what kind of trouble can happen?
The empress mother is too worrying. Now that Xiao Che is not here, most of the limelight in the court has turned to him. When he removes all Xiao Che's followers, he will be able to control the overall situation just around the corner.

And he still has a confidant like Jiang Chengtao in the court, so what else is there to worry about?
Jiang Chengtao just now knew about Jiang Ruixi's good deeds, and he was angrily pointing at her nose and cursing.

Their Rongguo Palace has always been on the emperor's side, but the servant is one of Shen Changming's subordinates, and it is difficult for them to turn an enemy into a friend. Besides, the emperor is suspicious by nature. Once there is any relationship between them, when the time comes It was he who suffered.

Giving birth to such a stupid daughter is really embarrassing to him.

Jiang Chengtao's wife didn't know what happened yet, she just saw that Jiang Chengtao was getting angry and wanted to start a family law against her precious daughter.

Just when he wanted to tell about the good deeds Jiang Ruixi had done, the eunuch who sent the word from the palace arrived.

Jiang Chengtao's face froze.

If the emperor really doubted himself, I'm afraid this matter would be difficult.

"Take a good look at her! One day I won't know if the knife rests on my neck!" Jiang Chengtao left after saying this, leaving the mother and daughter looking at each other, not knowing what happened.
