Chapter 31: Over-Interpretation (I)
Inside the quiet hall.
The old emperor's face was full of question marks, he knew the words on it, but he couldn't understand what it was saying.
As soon as he drove to the toilet repair, the old emperor jumped directly to the end.

This is a confusion in the world...... The old emperor had no choice but to seriously look at it from the beginning again.
He knew very well that he was not very smart, and he knew how smart officials and talents he was, but that was not a reason for those people to order him.
In the face of things that he doesn't understand, the old emperor will also hand it over to professional people to do, and he is watching from the side.
But this ......
The old emperor read it again, especially after seeing the words paying taxes, and found that this article seemed to be a bit like that, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was ...... Don't understand.
The old emperor decided to look at it again, and this time he looked more closely.
After reading it again, I found that there was a lot more flavor than just now, and I felt that there were a lot of truths and methods contained between the lines.
But the old emperor still couldn't understand it, so he searched for it from the document next to him, wanting to find a follow-up to this document.
The old emperor couldn't find a follow-up after looking for a long time, and he immediately became angry.
"I've read it, I've read it! What did you say? ”
You guys don't say anything, how do I understand!!
The old emperor quickly calmed down, although his face was still gloomy, but he knew that since this document had been approved below and submitted it, he must have felt that this document made sense.
The old emperor also felt that there was truth in this document, and he should indeed show it to himself.
But...... What the hell is this talking about?!
The old emperor was very uncomfortable, he just wanted to know what this person was talking about, how he could not print money, and still collect money.
The old emperor is uncomfortable, and others don't want to be happy.
The left and right prime ministers, the ministers of the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministers of the Household Department, who had just fallen asleep, were all called over.
The older generation has been boiled to death, and now the officials of the court are all younger, the largest of the five important ministers of the court is fifty, and the youngest is forty-five.
When a few people came out, they didn't have time to write a suicide note, thinking about who would die this time, and as a result, they were asked to interpret the article.
"It's a good word."
Prime Minister Zuo commented, and then quickly browsed this document, he could see ten lines at a glance, which was different from the old emperor's mortal who could only read three or five words when he could concentrate his attention.
After reading it for the first time, he felt that the old emperor was going to kill the person who wrote this thing.
But when he saw the last three payments, he felt that the emperor wanted to clean up this department of magistrates.
How to interpret it? The left minister handed the document to the right minister, thinking about how to connect this article with rebellion and disrespect.
I watched it once on the right, and because of the next three readings, I watched it a second time.
He had a different understanding from Zuo Xiang, he felt that the emperor really couldn't understand it, because he couldn't understand it either......
But one thing is certain, this person named Wang Lanling is not a fool, and the documents he approved include this person's documents, mainly the proposal to separate them from the account books of his former director, and they were also approved by the county order.
The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the officials of the world, and the minister still knows about several feudal officials, and he also knows the affairs of this newly appointed magistrate, even including the fourteen-year-old director who was promoted by the county order.
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of ceremonial diplomacy and religious schools, and the presiding officer is a cultured person, and at this time he feels that this person who writes books is very low-educated, knows nothing about words and sentences, and has no allusions and witty words, and this document also lacks proper rules.
The household department is in charge of household registration, land, household registration, taxes, salaries and all financial matters, and he does not express any opinion at this time, and when the sky falls, two prime ministers will die together.
After these people read it, the old emperor asked, "Who will interpret this document?" ”
The right prime minister stood in the middle, and he didn't need to read the original text, he directly interpreted it.
"The first sentence, at the beginning of spring, the spring is warm, and the weather is very good, which is a subtle reminder that the writer should do something about the county order."
The old emperor didn't have such a good memory, and although he read it more than ten times, he still couldn't memorize the first sentence.
He quickly took the original text from the eunuch next to him.
[Lord Prefectural Order, tomorrow is the beginning of spring, when this spring warms up and the flowers bloom, the sky outside is like washed glass, very clean. 】
With the prime minister's explanation, the old emperor felt that it was such a reason, and he was indeed reminding the county order to go out for a walk.
[I went to the city a few days ago, walked a few laps, and found that the city was very bad. 】
"The second sentence, name the reason, and let the county order go out to see the reason is here." The right prime minister looked at the serious expression of the old emperor, and understood that he guessed correctly, this guy really didn't understand.
The rest of the people also came back to their senses, and after understanding that the old emperor valued and valued this document, several people began to think about how to understand it in the direction they were willing to understand.
"Go on." The old emperor looked at it this way and found that this person named Wang Lanling wrote a document of exhortation and was a loyal person.
The right prime minister continued to interpret what Wang Lanling couldn't decipher by himself.
[People rarely come out, the nearby restaurants are not doing well, they are on the verge of closure, there are very few people rushing to the market on the street, and some people have no smiles on their faces, as if they have not yet come from winter. 】
"This sentence names the recent situation in Heishui County, and uses winter to be far away and no smile, to indirectly explain the inaction of the county order."
The old emperor nodded, "This county order is inactive, and the governor is mediocre, I already know it at this time, so continue." ”
It seems that the old emperor did the thing that deducted the governor's salary at the beginning.
[I can't help but think: Now that the country is safe and secure, everyone is well fed and warmly dressed, why are they not happy? 】
This sentence is realistic, and what he sees is indeed the case, mainly to lead to the next sentence. This point can't be said to be false, otherwise it will be a slap in the face of the emperor.
After a pause, the right prime minister continued to over-interpret.
[I thought about it, thought about it, thought about it, and finally found out the reason. 】
"It shows that this thing was not discovered at once, it was frozen three feet, not a day's cold, and he came to this result through careful observation and thinking."
【No toilet!】 】
This sentence is the most difficult to interpret, and the right prime minister said: "This sentence needs to be understood in connection with the following, ostensibly it is a toilet, but it does not actually refer to this." ”
The old emperor listened attentively.
[The prefectural magistrate must have thought this statement was ridiculous and absurd. 】
"I know what I said, so I said this, in order to let the county order know that this matter is not ridiculous, it is not him who is ridiculous, but the county order that cannot be seen clearly, in order to make the county order pay attention to it, continue to read and understand his hard work."
The right prime minister looked at the old emperor and said: "The first emperor once said that a joke, if the person who said the joke himself did not laugh, no matter how good the joke was, it would soon be cold, and this person wrote this pen with a resolute and indifferent determination!" ”
"Others laugh at him, he doesn't care, he just hopes that the people here can continue to watch after laughing and live up to this hard work."
