After reading the article for a day, Tianqi felt a little tired, and seeing that the sunlight outside the house was gradually dimming, he was going to go outside to the courtyard to move his muscles, and Tan Jing, who was waiting on the side, asked where to eat dinner by the way. Tianqi remembered that Feng Siqin didn't come during the dragon boat race yesterday, it was said that she was sick a while ago, and it was not suitable to blow more wind for a few days, so she called Tan Jing to inform Feng Siqin that she would go to see her after eating. Tan Jing was just about to leave Tianqi but suddenly called out to him, because Tianqi found a strange thing that the eunuchs and palace maids waiting around didn't seem to have much spirit, Tianqi asked Tan Jing what was going on, was it that after a long time, the people who waited began to slack off.

Tianjing said: "Your Majesty, the servants heard them say a few days ago, they said that they have been a little uncomfortable in the past few days, not because they are sick or for other reasons, anyway, they feel very tired as soon as they arrive in the palace. The servant saw that the emperor was sleeping soundly, so he didn't make a sound, and quietly changed a few groups of people to see if it was a human problem or another problem. ”

Apocalypse nodded and came outside the house to kick his legs and expand his chest in the cool breeze in the afternoon, and by the way, he looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and at the same time observed what was wrong with the people around him, who knew that looking at it felt that this was not a small problem, and the uncomfortable people were not one or two but a large number of people. It's the beginning of May, and it's the season when flowers bloom and everything is lively, but most of the eunuchs and palace maids in the courtyard look sluggish, and some of them pretend to cheer up their spirits with dark circles and strange looks, which makes Tianqi suspicious.

Tianqi thought about it and felt that it was indeed as Tan Jing said, this phenomenon is not only today, it seems that it has been like this for the past few days, and it is more obvious today, one by one, it is really strange like some addiction, and it is necessary to find the reason so as not to be infected yourself. Apocalypse took a closer look and recognized the last one under the corridor as if it was called Xiao Shunzi, the young man was usually very energetic, but now he yawned a few times, so he called Tan Jing and called Xiao Shunzi into the house.

After entering the door, Tianqi sat on the couch and looked at Xiao Shunzi, Xiao Shunzi asked very uncomfortably: "What is the emperor's order to call the slaves?" ”

Apocalypse said, "I found that you are very unenergetic for a while, what is the reason for this? Is it slacking off after a long time? ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "If you go back to the emperor, the slave can wait by the emperor's side, that is a great blessing, how dare you slack off?" It's just that everyone who has been here for a long time in the past few days is a little sleepy, and I really don't know what the reason is. ”

"Sleepy for a long time?" Apocalypse was slightly startled in his heart, and he asked in a low voice, "You will be sleepy if you stay for a long time during the day, so will the people who keep vigil here at night be sleepy?" ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "The emperor is right, those palace maids who keep vigil here at night are even more strange, it is said that they have not slept well in the past few days, and often wake up suddenly from their sleep inexplicably, and their hearts are very uncomfortable after waking up." Everyone told the general manager of Tan, but the general manager said that the emperor slept very sweetly, and asked everyone to see if it was temporary, so as not to alarm the emperor, but the emperor was still worried. ”

Tianqi gradually understood in his heart, everyone was uncomfortable in his heart, but only he didn't have any reaction, is it that the topaz under the tower is going to start making trouble again? Since the topaz was taken to western Sichuan two years ago to absorb the earth's qi in the eyes of the earth, after coming back, it has been pressed under the tower of the Qianqing Palace, and there has been no special reaction for more than two years, and now it is starting to make a mistake again?

Tianqi was thinking about Xiao Shunzi next to him and said: "Your Majesty, there is another strange thing, that is, in the past few days, the general manager has changed several groups of people to come here to keep vigil, and many people have not slept well, but there are three people who sleep soundly, not to mention the benefits." ”

Apocalypse hurriedly asked, "Who are these three?" What's in it for you? ”

Xiao Shunzi said: "These three people all have some minor illnesses, one is a leg that fell and another is a foot accidentally broken while walking, and the third is a body that has been sick for half a year." Anyway, the vigil will not be contagious, so the manager asked them to keep vigil with everyone, who knows that everyone else can't sleep well, but I heard that they sleep soundly and are sick. ”

After hearing this, Tianqi's heart became even clearer, and he waved his hand to let Xiao Shunzi go down, and then said to Tan Jing: "You go and invite Feng Huifei here, he has been sick for many days, and his body is still weak for a few days, let her try to see if it will strengthen her body and eliminate the discomfort caused by illness." If we can really treat the disease here, we can send it, and we can cure the disease without medicine by setting up a rehabilitation hospital in the Qianqing Palace, and the money earned is too much to count. ”

Not long after Tan Jing smiled and left, a sedan chair carried Feng Siqin over, Tianqi took her hand and walked into the house while talking, and Tan Jing arranged for someone to serve food to eat. Seeing that Feng Siqin was in good spirits and quick when he spoke, Tianqi felt a little disappointed and knew that he couldn't do a living experiment, so he had to talk about some other things. After the meal came up, the two of them finished eating together, and after eating, they came together to the verandah to cool off, and at this time it was not yet dark, and there were still some clouds in the southwest sky that were red.

Feng Siqin asked, "Why did the emperor think of calling his concubines here?" ”

Tianqi thought about it and felt that there was no need to hide it from her, so he said: "I heard that some people can't sleep well all night, but good people can't sleep well, but the sick people sleep very soundly, and the sick people not only sleep soundly, but also get better quickly. It is estimated that the topaz under the tower has started to make trouble again, I think that your illness is just right to give it a try, who knows that you are already very energetic and there is no need to try again, otherwise it will backfire. ”

Feng Siqin said: "Thank you for the emperor's kindness, but the emperor may have forgotten that the concubine did not react to Topaz, and if you encounter it when you are sick, you will not be harmed if you encounter it, which is also the reason why the concubine entered the palace." ”

Apocalypse nodded and said, "As soon as you say it, I remember, but why do others react and you and I don't?" Why are good people bad reactions, and patients are good reactions? Could it be that this topaz is the opposite? ”

Feng Siqin said: "It doesn't matter what our reaction is, what matters is your reaction, although the concubine can't say what the reason is, but the concubine guesses that one day there will only be room for the emperor here." Back then, the emperor once said that he would use topaz to see Taizu, and when he really couldn't accommodate anyone else here, maybe it would be time for the emperor to leave us. ”

Tianqi was secretly frightened when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I can't tolerate others, so why don't I really become a lonely person?" Besides, even if I have to leave now, I can't do it, and there are many things waiting for me to do well. ”

Feng Siqin asked: "A while ago, the emperor said that some people in the people asked for elected officials, has anyone mentioned it for so long?" Does this make the emperor feel at ease? ”

Seeing that Feng Siqin's eyes flickered a little when he said that he couldn't rest assured, Tianqi secretly sighed in his heart that these women are also pitiful people, although they don't have to worry about food and clothing all their lives, but being confined to the palace for life is no different from high-level prisoners. However, they are much better than the folk women, at least they do not have to work in the fields like men, and if they look at a kind of happiness without worrying about food and clothing, then they are much happier than the vast majority of people.

Tianqi thought for a while and said: "The matter of the elected officials has now been decided, that is, Gao Panlong and they sent people to the north and south of Beijing to do experiments, and now they are thinking about how to run a newspaper to make an impact, so that everyone knows that officials can also be elected by the people." I remember that you said that it would never work, and now you are going to experiment to see if you can see it accurately, I am just curious how you can be so sure that the pilot will not succeed? ”

Feng Siqin said: "This is very simple, people will change, especially after having money and power, it becomes faster, the focus of selecting people is to choose the method, the focus of governing the country is not the person but the method, and a good method can make the people get benefits." If there is no way for people to see clearly, why should the people believe you? When you don't have power, you may say it better than the other, and after you come to power, you may have left your previous ideas behind. ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about this first, let's try it first, now people in the capital and all over the country have written to express their opinions, Gao Panlong and they have submitted some opinions for me to see, it is said that their Donglin Party decided to use this method to test my idea, what do you say next?" ”

Feng Siqin said: "These people are so bold that they dare to test the emperor, it seems that the emperor has been too accustomed to indulging them for so many years, temptation is distrust, a courtier actually does not trust the emperor, is this still the way of a minister?" ”

Tianqi shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter whether you trust or distrust, in fact, I also admire them for having ideals, pursuits and beliefs, it is precisely because of faith that a person has a fear of unknowable things, and it is precisely because a person has a sense of fear that he will abide by certain systems and disciplines, otherwise he will become a monkey who dares to make trouble in the heavenly palace, shouting out 'the emperor takes turns' and other rebellious words." ”

Feng Siqin nodded and said: "In this way, these people are not wrong, all the officials have expressed their attitudes, and the emperor should also show his attitude, since it is to influence other people, then the emperor should clearly state your attitude, it is best to have a true and credible attitude, so that everyone dares to say and dare to do without leaving behind." ”

The next day, the apocalypse sent someone to find Gao Panlong, and seeing Gao Panlong's calm face, Apocalypse said: "I have read the manuscript sent by Lord Gao yesterday, and it is all very good, but there are still a little shortcomings, I came to you today for this reason, I have an idea that may not be very mature, but it will make many people feel at ease if I really say it." ”

Gao Panlong said: "The emperor's reasoning must be reasonable, and the ministers listen to it." ”

Tianqi said: "Many people have talked about maintaining imperial power and maintaining the existing order, we are happy when we hear it, but others are not necessarily happy, if we really want to maintain the imperial power and maintain the existing order, we will not change the dynasty so often since Qin Shi Huang." The sage also called on everyone to ask the king, the minister, and the minister to refrain from self-denial, but the sage also said that the people can overthrow tyranny, and the question is what is benevolence and virtue and what is tyranny? If you don't understand this problem, any careerist can accuse others of tyranny and should be overthrown, on the contrary, if the monarch doesn't know the comparison, he will not pay attention to his own cultivation and lose people's hearts. ”^-^^-^
