In the thirteenth year of Chongkang, the third day of the lunar month.

Light snow.

Daming Palace, Lin De Palace.

When Daqian was in the Holy Ancestor, it was a five-day day.

During the Zhenyuan period, it was a ten-day dynasty.

Since Emperor Chongkang ascended the throne and became pro-government, it has been a daily dynasty.

This move is to urge hundreds of officials to be diligent in government, and it has the effect of "pointing" and "morning class" in later generations.

Second, it is convenient for the Son of Heaven to inquire about politics and return the approval.

The third is to face the hundred officials, prevent the cabinet from appearing in power, and set up the son of heaven.

Although the morning court every day makes the Beijing officials above the fifth grade miserable, but the Son of Heaven is happy in it, and he is so diligent in government, who dares to talk more?

However, after going to court today, the hundred officials found a difference in the atmosphere in the hall.

Chongkangdi, who has always been diligent and thrifty, has changed into a new Tianzi uniform today!

On the Ming and Huang court clothes, the five-clawed golden dragon was shining with gold......

Under the crown of Pingtian, the gloomy and majestic face that has been terrifying for more than ten years is actually ...... today There was a faint smile of excitement.

Not only the Son of Heaven, but even the seven cabinet ministers: Ning Zechen, Zhao Qingshan, Lin Qinghe, Wu Qichuan, Song Guangxian, Lou Chengwen and Zhang Yungu, all changed into new official uniforms and looked excited.

When the auspicious time has come, the ritual music will be played.

After the hundred officials and the mountains shouted long live, Ning Zechen's temples were white, and he came out of the column with a wat board, and his voice was like a Hong Zhong playing: "Your Majesty!" Since November 28, the thirteenth year of Chongkang, the 13th year of Chongkang, the 13 prefectures and 54 counties of Jiangnan Province have all implemented the new law. The officials of Fangtian Average Tax have gone to the countryside to re-measure the acres of land and examine the yellow book. Completely depose the first emperor and the first emperor, levy a tax of thousands of years, and spread the Ding into the mu! Those who have wide fields have more stalls, those who have less land have less stalls, and those who have no land do not stall, both rich and poor, or mergers!

Only Jinling Mansion, Yangzhou Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, Zhenjiang Mansion, and Changzhou Mansion have an extra 2.5 million mu of public land, and if all of them are distributed to the landless people, then next year the land endowment can be increased by 3.18 million taels!

This number may be multiplied when all measures are taken. However, instead of increasing the burden of the people, it has greatly reduced it. The exemption of the Dingkou tax has made the whole world hundreds of millions of trillions of Li Shu kneel down to thank the Holy Grace!

Since then, I have made the people rich and the country rich, and the people strong and the country strong! This is the holy way!

The minister's small official, who was simply pulled out by the saint, was able to assist the holy monarch, implement new laws, reform the old evils, and finally achieve great causes, and enlighten the prosperous world.

Minister...... Minister......

Die without regrets!

May my emperor, long live, long live, long live!! ”

Seeing that the cabinet ministers were crying silently kneeling and shouting long live, the hundred officials could endure it any longer, and they were all moved to kneel on the ground again and shouted: "I only wish that my emperor will live long live, long live, and Chongkang will be prosperous for ten thousand years!" ”

The look on Chongkangdi's face changed from secretly excited at first, to excited, and then to later, gradually calmed down and repeated the majesty.

His gaze was not attracted by the hundred officials behind him, and he always looked at the first powerful minister of the first cadre who was at the forefront of the hall, Ning Zechen.

More than ten years ago, when the monarch and the ministers knew each other, Ning Zechen was still heroic, and his talent amazed him who was still King Yong.

For the inequality between the rich and the poor in the world, the rich are getting richer and shamelessly transferring taxes to the poor people, and the land annexation is shocking.

They all thought that the dynasty had reached the point where it had to change.

In order to reach this point today, how much trust and effort have been put in between their monarchs and ministers.

They have white heads together, old faces together, stiffened their backs together, and ...... together Trust is lost.

He is no longer an unknown prince hidden in the palace, obscured by the radiant figure of that person, he has become the supreme in the world.

And Ning Zechen is no longer an inconspicuous scribe of the Hanlin Academy, but a generation of ministers who are courteous and powerful!

Monarchy, relative power......

Emperor Chongkang's eyes narrowed, and he said in a deep voice: "Yuanfu please get up, I have Yuanfu's help, just like King Wen has Jiang Shang, it is a blessing." Aiqing deserves it, the words 'Liangfu Liangbi'. ”

"Your Majesty!!"

After Ning Zechen heard these four words, his body was shocked, his face was so moved that he couldn't be more moved, and his eyes were full of tears and he looked up at Emperor Chongkang on the dragon chair.

Seeing him like this, Emperor Chongkang's face was also slightly moved, and said: "Aiqing has worked hard for a long time over the years. Now that the new law has finally passed the world, Aiqing will take a few days off. ”

When Ning Zechen heard this, he hurriedly thanked him, and then said in a lamented voice: "Your Majesty's imperial grace is vast, and the eyes of the law are like torches. The minister has just passed the year of the Mandate of Heaven this year, but he is already ruined and weak, and his eyesight is extremely weak. Every spring and autumn, the lung cough is difficult to stop, and it is difficult to sleep at night. The brain is also dizzy and turbid, and it is really difficult to take on the role of the first assistant. Your Majesty, please ......"

These sincere words of begging bones, full of pleading, made the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty look sideways.

Some people were stunned and didn't understand how Ning Zechen could ask for Zhishi at this time.

The clear-eyed people held their breath one after another, and they didn't even dare to move their eyes more, waiting for the Son of Heaven to respond.

This is the time to say a word and say a word......

Emperor Chongkang, who was seated, did not wait for Ning Zechen to finish speaking, then cut off his words and said in a deep voice: "The new law has just been implemented in the world, and all industries are waiting to be developed. Yuanfu is a year younger than me, how can he say goodbye lightly? The new law is inseparable from Yuanfu, and the imperial court is inseparable from Yuanfu, so don't mention this matter again......"

"Alas......"

At this moment, I don't know how many people sighed in their hearts.

Then, I felt cold all over my body......

……

Shenjing, Rongguo Mansion.

Sister Feng's small courtyard.

Wang Xifeng's face was sallow, with Western stickers on his temples, leaning on the edge of the bed, and drinking the medicine in the bowl weakly.

She has been bedridden since she vomited blood and fell into a coma that night, and the menstrual period has never ended, which has made her weaker and weaker.

Although Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang both sent people to ask, she would not tell the truth, but only said that she had become ill from hard work and committed old diseases, and she was afraid that she would spread her illness, so she would not go to both sides to ask for peace.

Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Aunt Xue all sent people to bring some good medicine and food, and then they no longer bothered her to recuperate.

The affairs of the inner house should be handled by Li Kun and Tanchun Xiangzhu Mrs. Wang for the time being.

Sister Feng rarely cultivated for a few days, but she didn't raise it at all......

Listening to the noise coming from far ahead, Sister Feng frowned slightly, and asked Feng'er, "What's the excitement ahead?" ”

Feng'er opened her mouth when she heard this, but she stopped talking.

Sister Feng was so angry that she scolded: "The little hoof who lost my heart, now even you can't perfunctory me?" ”

Feng'er said aggrievedly: "How dare I perfunctory grandma, is it ...... It's Miss Bao and ...... Sister Heping Er has returned from Southern Province. ”

Sister Feng'er was stunned when she heard this, looked out the window, and said, "Oh, Ping'er is back...... How did she come back? Finally ......."

When Feng'er heard this, she said indignantly: "If it weren't for grandma, how could she be today?" Now she is proud, climbing the high branch and becoming a phoenix bird, but when she comes back, she doesn't come to ask her grandmother for peace......"

Listening to her chatter, Sister Feng smiled dumbly, and said: "You bad hooves will be as bad as anyone thinks, the house has made you scold from top to bottom in the past few days, but you scolded Ping'er but wronged her, this stupid girl must know something, otherwise she is so dignified, how can she let go of Qingfu and not enjoy it, and come back to see people's faces?" Wait, she will come in a moment. ”

As she was talking, Sister Feng'er's expression moved, and she heard the sound of pushing the door from the courtyard outside, and a burst of eager footsteps came. ”

Sister Feng opened her mouth and just wanted to respond, but the tears in her eyes fell down and rolled into her mouth, so salty......

……

Jia's mother's house.

In Rongqing Hall, Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue, Baoyu and others looked up and down around Baochai, and saw that she brought a lot of Jiangnan native products, and they were overjoyed.

Because Xue Pan was a foreign man, he only kowtowed, and went to the front to see Jia Zheng.

After he left, Li Kun led Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Xiangyun out of the warm pavilion.

Xue Pan has become. People, although they are relatives, also need to be avoided.

Aunt Xue had already seen that her son was fine, so she put her mind at ease, and saw that Baochai took some Su brocade and embroidery and gave them away one by one, and said with a smile: "It's not in vain that the old lady and your aunt often think about you, but they bring back some good things." ”

Baochai smiled and said: "Where do I bring these, they are all prepared by Brother Cong and sent to the boat for me to bring back." ”

When Aunt Xue heard this, she looked at Mrs. Wang and asked, "Didn't you say that you only stayed with your sister Lin at the Yanzheng Yamen and boarded the boat?" ”

Baochai smiled: "Yes, it's only been a day since I arrived in Yangzhou, and the back foot of the messenger followed." Saying that my mother was not in good health, Brother Cong hurriedly gave up his boat and prepared these to send my brother and me back. Mom, what's wrong with you? Have you seen it yet? What did Lang Zhong say? ”

Aunt Xue was stunned when she heard this, and Mrs. Wang chuckled: "Your mother is not worried about your brother and you, she will be fine when you come back." Now that she only depends on your brother and sister, where is she willing to stay away? ”

Baochai smiled and nodded, and Jia Mu on the soft couch saw all this in her eyes, and then looked at her heart and liver, and asked, "Bao girl, is my jade okay?" ”

Baoyu sighed: "I don't know what I'm crying for......"

Baochai first said to Jia's mother: "Back to the old lady, the girl is very good now." He smiled at Baoyu again: "I didn't cry anything." ”

Baoyu said strangely: "She didn't cry? How can you not cry? ”

Tanchun smiled on the side: "Isn't it a good thing that Sister Lin doesn't cry?" Are you still hoping that she will cry? ”

Xiangyun smiled shamefully: "He just wants to see his sister Lin crying, it's good-looking!" ”

After teasing for a while, Baoyu was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "I was thinking that my uncle's health was not good, and Sister Lin would definitely cry when she was worried." ”

Others also thought it was reasonable, Baochai explained: "I heard that when Uncle Lin was critically ill, he rushed to Yangzhou from the south to Qiaocong brothers, and then found a famous doctor in the hidden world, who was the one who had seen the eldest master and the eldest lady, and the old gentleman lived up to his reputation, although he failed to cure the uncle of the Lin family, but stabilized the condition, so that the condition did not deteriorate, and turned the crisis into safety." That's why the girl stopped crying......"

Hearing this, everyone was more or less happy.

Only Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue glanced at each other again, with a faint melancholy in their eyes.

This girl, whenever she speaks, she will say "Brother Cong", not good......

Fortunately, the messenger intercepted her early, otherwise, who can guarantee that something ugly will happen......

Baoyu asked with concern: "Sister Bao, when will Sister Lin come back?" Why didn't you come back with Second Brother Lian? ”

When Baochai heard Jia Lian's name, the smile on his face faded, and he said, "Although Uncle Lin Shi's life is in danger, he hasn't woken up yet, so the girl still has to serve the sick." However, I heard that after the turn of the year, after the new salt inspector took office, the Cong brothers sent a ship to send them to Beijing. ”

Hearing this, Bao Yuden became happy.

Jia Mu was also happy to see that he was happy, hugged him in her arms and rubbed her neck, and said, "Happy now?" In the future, you are not allowed to run out, and you will be stubborn at home and wait for your sister to come back. Run out again, be careful that your old man still beats you! ”

Seeing Baoyu Monkey in Jia's mother's arms, everyone laughed.
