Xiao Rui looked at Lu Pheasant with wide eyes, obviously shocked.

When I left the East Palace in the morning, everything was normal, but now there is one more living person, a big living person?

Lu Pheasant bowed and said: "Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty ordered me to enter the palace as a female official and serve in the East Palace. ”

Xiao Rui was stunned and said: "My father asked you to enter the palace as a female official, and you still came to serve in the East Palace?" ”

Lu Pheasant looked at Xiao Rui quietly, she didn't want to repeat it anymore.

Xiao Rui wondered, what does Your Majesty mean by this?

Inside or outside?

"Your Highness, please use tea!" Lu Pheasant handed over the teacup.

Xiao Rui took the teacup and took a sip of tea, but his expression was a little strange, and after swallowing, he said: "Miss Lu, it is best to use hot water to make tea in the future, cold water is a little hurtful to the stomach." ”

Lu Pheasant apologized: "The slave maid made tea for the first time, and the slave maid knew that it was wrong, so the slave maid went to change the tea." ”

After speaking, he turned away, and the fragrance swayed underneath.

Xiao Rui looked at the back of Lu Pheasant's departure, and the inexplicable feeling in his heart came back to him, making him feel that something was wrong.

It didn't take long for Lu Pheasant to make another cup of tea.

Xiao Rui took the tea and was just about to taste it, when he saw the hot steam coming out of the tea, Xiao Rui asked helplessly, "Is this the hot water that has just been boiled?" ”

Lu Pheasant nodded and said, "Yes, according to His Highness's requirements, it is made of hot water!" ”

Xiao Rui: ...

A cup of hot tea was left for a while before Xiao Rui drank it, if he didn't pay attention to it just now, he would have to burn it.

After drinking tea, Xiao Rui was reading in the study, and Lu Pheasant knocked on the door again and walked in.

"Your Highness, the slave grinds for you!" Lu Pheasant said.

Xiao Rui flatly refused: "No, this palace wants to be quiet, you can step down." ”

"But Your Majesty said, let the slaves and maids serve the left and right, Your Highness can rest assured, the slaves and maids will not disturb you." Lu Pheasant said calmly.

Xiao Rui looked at Lu Pheasant's pretty face, and her expressionless face was serious, so Xiao Rui couldn't refuse, so he could only nod.

Lu Pheasant walked over step by step and personally grinded for Xiao Rui, Xiao Rui was reading a book while thinking about things, and when he thought of the wonders, he wrote down a few words on the paper, and Lu Pheasant stood quietly aside, just like air, and did not disturb Xiao Rui.

At this time, a few words were written on the paper.

"Scholars", "Civil Bureaucracy", "Military Commanders", "Ordinary People"...

During this time, Xiao Rui followed His Majesty's side to study, although he spent more time watching the recital every day, but watching and watching, coupled with His Majesty's teachings, also made Xiao Rui learn a lot of things.

When he went to Xuanzhou to invite Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang introduced the advantages and disadvantages of the systems of various countries, and the adoption of the cabinet system in the Great Xia Kingdom naturally has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the power is in the hands of His Majesty, but the disadvantage is how to contain the cabinet if it is too powerful.

The cabinet must have the right to act flexibly in order to share the emperor's worries and solve problems, and if the cabinet is only a function of votes, then all government affairs are still concentrated on the emperor, and they are not tired to death. So it is necessary to contain the power of the cabinet, not suppress it.

Throughout the previous life, the emperor liked to use eunuchs to contain him, so there were celebrants and eunuchs to approve the red, but what if the two institutions were in the same stream and deceived the emperor together?

It's not like this kind of thing hasn't happened in the Ming Dynasty!

In addition, the contradictions between the civilian clique and the military generals and nobles are also deepening day by day, and how to coordinate the forces of the two sides without the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty is also a headache.

Secondly... It's the people.

Although the sage said: "The people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light", but is the truth really so? There are classes in any era, and equality can never be achieved. When people of class get together, they become the family gate valve township party.

Now the Great Xia Kingdom uses the imperial examination system to select officials, but looking at the candidates on the list in each session, how many poor families are there? His Majesty didn't want to emphasize literature over martial arts, and Xiao Rui didn't recommend it, because the Song Dynasty in the previous life was a clear example.

If you want to break the stage and break the door valve of the family, the fastest way is to reform the way of selecting officials, when the officials are no longer the exclusive property of the gate valve and the family, the situation will be well improved.

The imperial examination system cannot be abolished, but the subjects of the imperial examination should be changed, and it should not be limited to the Confucian doctrine of the Four Books and Five Classics.

Second, with the spread of bamboo paper and clay printing, the price of white paper in Gyeonggi has dropped to one-third of its original level, and the price of books has also dropped.

People can afford to buy books, but many people won't buy them because they don't know how to read.

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui picked up the pen again and wrote down a few words:

"School-age education"

"Free Shoin"

"State subsidy"

The era in which Xiao Rui lived in his previous life was a great era, and it may still have many problems to be solved, but it was sincerely for the people of the world.

Xiao Rui referred to the experience of his previous life, if preschool education can be promoted in the Great Xia Kingdom, so that all children can go to free academies, and all book fees and teachers' salaries are funded by the state, in this way, within a few decades, the literacy rate of the people in the world will definitely increase to a very high level. In this way, those who are truly talented will not be buried between the ridges.

Xiao Rui doesn't believe that the people are noble and the monarch is light, but he believes that "when the youth is strong, the country is strong"!

However, if you want to do that, the amount of money must be massive, and the obstacles encountered must be large.

So the question arises again, how to make money?

"Capital plundering"!

Xiao Rui wrote these four words and couldn't help but sigh.

The total amount of money in the world is actually a total amount, in the era of no technological innovation, this total amount will not change much, Xiao Rui wants to make Great Xia rich, it is bound to plunder from other places, which involves too much economics, Xiao Rui has a headache when he thinks about it. And in the simplest sentence, it is to rob other people's things to develop yourself!

How did tiny Great Britain develop into a place where the sun never sets?

Plunder!

Now that Shen Wansan has completed the voyage, with experience, Xiao Rui's small fights can rise to the national level of trade, and even colonization and plunder in the future.

When the world's capital is remitted into Daxia, the previous dreams will also have the capital to be realized.

……

Unconsciously, a piece of paper was full of Xiao Rui's thoughts.

Lu Pheasant stood aside, quietly looking at the content on the paper, some things were incomprehensible, there were many things that could be understood, and some things could be understood. Especially the sentence that the youth is strong is the country's strength, and the pen reveals what heroic ambitions.

His Majesty is a Ming Monarch and Holy Lord, who created a prosperous era and made the people rich, and now he is wholeheartedly cultivating the person in front of him.

And the young man in front of him is wise, intelligent, insidious, ruthless... He is like a tiger cub, with fangs and claws that have grown, and he will inherit this prosperity and lead it to a more glorious future.

At this moment, Lu Pheasant felt the pride and ambition in Xiao Rui's heart, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, quietly looking at Xiao Rui's side face, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Before you know it, it's getting dark.

The palace maid prepared the meal, and Xiao Rui moved to the dining hall to eat.

In the past in Xianwangfu, Xiao Rui ate at the same table with Jia Xu, Guo Jia, and Li Yuanfang, although this is not in accordance with the rules, it is the last habit of Xiao Rui's previous life.

But since entering the palace, I can only eat alone.

It's really boring to eat alone.

At this time, there was only Lu Pheasant in the dining hall, and Xiao Rui said on a whim, "Sit down and eat together." ”

Lu Pheasant was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

After speaking, Lu Pheasant pulled out a chair and sat on Xiao Rui's right hand.

As soon as she entered the palace, she didn't know much about the etiquette in the palace, or she didn't have any fear of imperial power in her heart.

Someone accompanied him to eat, Xiao Rui also felt a little lively, so he picked up a dish of mutton, put it on her plate, and said with a smile: "It feels good to have someone to eat with!" ”

Lu Pheasant looked at the mutton on the plate and said softly, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "You have entered the palace, what should you do with your sister Lu Su?" ”

"She is temporarily living in the Yasukuni Mansion." Lu Pheasant said.

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "If you don't want to stay in the palace, I can ask Your Majesty to let you out." After all, you are the daughter of Ming Yibo, and my father will definitely agree. ”

Lu Pheasant said: "Thank you Your Highness for your kindness, the slave is willing to stay in the palace." ”

Xiao Rui smiled and didn't ask, but Lu Pheasant is an advent character, although the advent character will integrate into this world, and there is no memory of the previous life, but he has the original character, character and ability.

Lu Pheasant, this strange woman, is by no means simple!

But after thinking about it again, even if it is not an advent character, there may be other Zhang Pheasant, Liu Pheasant... Lu Pheasant has neither loyalty nor entanglement value, has nothing to do with himself, and can't be used for himself, so why worry about it?

Thinking of this, Xiao Rui asked in his heart: "System, female characters have no loyalty and entanglement value, does that really have nothing to do with me?" ”

System: "Uh... The host is right! ”

Xiao Ruihu said suspiciously: "You didn't lie to me? ”

System: "When did I fool the host with such a good system?" ”

Xiao Rui nodded, she opened the system page, and found that in the advent mission, there was only Lu Pheasant's introduction, and there was still no loyalty or entanglement value or anything.

He was relieved.

The system also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and slowly disappeared.

"Come, eat more, your condition is not well yet." Xiao Rui picked up the dish again and put it into Lu Pheasant's plate.

Lu Pheasant thanked him and ate quietly.

And at this moment, Li Yuanfang reported: "Your Highness, Lady Yan asks to see you!" ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Let her in!" ”

Yan Xiaoxiao also rested today, last time Xiao Rui had no intention of saying that the food in the palace tasted light, so she kept it in mind, and today she went to the imperial dining room, used pepper, ginger and pepper with mutton, and was busy for most of the day to boil some meat sauce and send it specially.

Entering the dining hall, Yan Xiaoxiao, who was smiling, suddenly saw Lu Pheasant sitting there eating, his smile suddenly froze, and at the same time, he even stopped his steps.

Xiao Rui waved his hand and said, "Xiaoxiao, have you eaten?" ”

"Nope." Yan Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and said, "The slave maid boiled some spicy meat sauce. ”

Xiao Rui smiled: "Really? I'm going to try it, and you can sit down and eat it together, and there's no outsider here. ”

Yan Xiaoxiao nodded and continued to walk over, but those beautiful eyes were looking at Lu Pheasant.

Similarly, Lu Pheasant was also observing Yan Xiaoxiao, and when she just came in, she couldn't help but admire that there was such a beautiful woman in the world.

But soon, Lu Pheasant sensed the hostility.

After Yan Xiaoxiao sat down, she smiled at Lu Pheasant and said, "Hello sister!" I don't know where my sister is on duty? ”

Lu Pheasant smiled and said, "I just entered the palace today and am on duty in the East Palace. ”

"Huh?" Yan Xiaoxiao's eyes widened suddenly, to her surprise. How she looked forward to serving in the East Palace, but now she was the first to arrive.

Xiao Rui explained: "Xiaoxiao, this is Lu Pheasant, the daughter of Ming Yibo, and her father specially summoned her to the palace. ”

Then he introduced to Lu Pheasant: "This is Yan Xiaoxiao, who is on duty in the Heart Cultivation Palace. ”

Lu Pheasant said with a smile: "I have heard of her great name, and if she can be a pen-bearer in the Heart Cultivation Palace, she will definitely be trusted by His Majesty." ”

Yan Xiaoxiao replied: "Sister Lu Pheasant is serious, I entered the palace a little early, what is the matter with my sister, I can say anything." ”

"Good!" Lu Pheasant said with a smile.

Xiao Rui tasted the meat sauce, there was no chili pepper in the era, only pepper and ginger were used as spicy, but the taste was very good.

"It's a good little craft, come and eat a piece of meat." Xiao Rui picked up a piece of mutton for Yan Xiaoxiao.

Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "Your Highness, the slave and maid come by themselves." Eating at the same table is a great sin, if it is seen, according to the law, it needs to be punished with a rod, so how dare the slave and maid bother His Highness to pick up the food? ”

Lu Pheasant's hand picked up the vegetables, and she immediately heard Yan Xiaoxiao's beating, but her face did not change and she continued to eat.

This is the East Palace, as long as the prince is willing, naturally there is nothing to do.

Xiao Rui didn't think about it so much, continued to pick up vegetables, and said with a smile: "It's okay, eat more, you see how thin you are." ”

Yan Xiaoxiao looked at his chest, glanced at Lu Pheasant's again, and was suddenly a little annoyed.

I'm really thin.

"It turns out that His Highness likes to be fatter." Yan Xiaoxiao immediately ate meat, he wanted to gain weight.

After dinner, Xiao Rui moved to the living room.

Although Yan Xiaoxiao didn't want to leave, she had to leave, she looked at Lu Pheasant with her eyes, full of envy, she was really happy to stay in the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the slave and maid are retired." Yan Xiaoxiao said reluctantly.

Xiao Rui smiled: "Go back, rest early, I should rest after bathing." ”

As soon as these words came out, Yan Xiaoxiao's footsteps couldn't move.

She looked at Lu Pheasant, who was serving, and a picture suddenly popped up in her mind.

In the quiet and warm room, a large wooden barrel was filled with hot water that emitted steam, and Lu Pheasant took off his coat for His Royal Highness, served aside, scooped up hot water with a wooden spoon, and poured it on His Highness's body.

"Your Highness, do you still need to add water?" Lu Pheasant's face was shy, like a peach blossom blooming in early March.

A smile appeared on His Royal Highness's handsome face: "You don't need to add water, but this king needs a back wipe?" Would you like to? ”

"That's what a slave should do!" Lu Pheasant didn't dare to look up.

……

"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?" Xiao Rui couldn't help but shout when he saw Yan Xiaoxiao in a daze.

Yan Xiaoxiao came back to her senses at this time, it turned out that she was thinking nonsense!

But she couldn't care so much, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, it's cold today, don't bathe!" ”

Xiao Rui frowned, he always felt that today's Yan Xiao was weird, but he couldn't describe what was going on.
