Lin Yi's thoughts, Xiao Mu also understood a seven, seven, eighty, eight. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info looked at Lin Yi obviously very happy, but his face still showed a look of indifference, Xiao Mu couldn't help but laugh at the same time, he was also thinking about what word to find to describe Lin Ye's performance, but he couldn't find a suitable word.

Of course, if Xiao Mu hadn't traveled to Daming from 2007, it wouldn't take two years for him to find a word that everyone knew and was the most suitable word to describe Lin Yi - tsundere.

Trying to hold back a smile, Xiao Mu put on a worried look again, "I don't know if the minister meets the queen directly, so it doesn't conform to feudal etiquette......"

"What's not in line with the etiquette law, aren't those who listen to the queen mother all women, don't they have contact with the ministers, how can they listen to the government?" Lin Yi replied directly without hesitation, in short, a thousand words are one sentence: the old lady doesn't care, the old lady just wants to listen to Qian Qianyi and Zhou Yanru talk, and the old lady said that in line with the etiquette law is in line with the etiquette law.

"I'm not dead yet, are you so anxious to be the queen mother?" Xiao Mu teased, "Be careful that I die too early, your son's throne will not be stable!" ”

"What my son, that's obviously your son! If you die late, and your cheap son has grown up, how can I have a chance to listen to politics? Lin Yi replied nonchalantly, and said in a playful tone, "The feeling of being the queen mother is definitely more enjoyable than being the queen, and it is not in vain for me to go through the ......."

"Do you want to make another queen mother?" Xiao Mu said angrily, "You have to hurry up to marry your son's daughter-in-law, let him give birth to a son quickly, and then pass on the throne to the next generation. ”

"I'll talk about the Empress Dowager's affairs later, and I think the Empress Dowager's affairs will be on the agenda soon." Lin Ye's face turned cold, picked up the tea, and signaled that Xiao Mu could leave.

Xiao Mu saw Lin Yi sitting there and began to brew, and he was about to go crazy again, so he hurriedly left.

"This madwoman!" Xiao Mu felt a sneer in his heart, "It seems that I still have to ask Queen Zhang to clean her up and teach her more good virtues such as 'three obedience and four virtues'......"

After thinking of a way to deal with Lin Ye, Xiao Mu didn't pay so much attention to this matter, and instead remembered what Lin Ye said about the battle between Qian Qianyi, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren in history.

"Well, now that I've decided that the cabinet members will no longer change easily, there will be no matter of electing cabinet members, and without the matter of promoting cabinet members, they won't fight for the position of cabinet elder, right?" Xiao Mu thought to himself.

"Also, I have announced the implementation of amnesty to the world, so that Qian Qianyi's previous scientific research fraud case can be revealed, right? Even if that Wen Tiren wants to attack Qian Qianyi again in the future, this matter can't be his weapon......"

Thinking of this, Xiao Mu suddenly found that the way he thought about the problem had completely changed unconsciously: it was clear that there were still many eunuch members who had done a lot of sins, but in order to maintain the stability of the political situation, he pardoned them; Qian Qianyi obviously committed the crime of cheating in scientific examinations, and he also did such a thing as "the water is too cold" in history, but he was thinking about how to stop him from being attacked by others.

Xiao Mu could be sure that before he crossed over, he hated such things as exploiting the people, cheating, and cheating on exams, and he would never have thought that one day he would actually help these people, even though his original intention was not like this. It turns out that being an emperor can really change a person's mind, and political balance can really change a person's position, and absolute power is really a terrible thing.

After some torture of his own humanity and conscience, Xiao Mu, who was extremely disappointed, thought of a point that made him even more depressed: even if he pardoned those officials who were attached to Wei Zhongxian, they would still be labeled as "eunuch remnants", and there would still be open and secret battles between them and those officials who claimed to be clear; Even if he doesn't plan to change the candidate for the cabinet minister, if there is no matter of promoting the cabinet elder, there will always be other things and interests for Qian Qianyi to compete for; Even if the fraud in the field was revealed, Wen Tiren would still be able to find other weapons to attack Qian Qianyi sooner or later—as long as he wanted to.

After betraying one's conscience and morality, what can be exchanged for one can only be a temporary relaxation of the situation, and this seems to have buried a greater hidden danger for the future, and I don't know when the contradictions between the bureaucrats that have been forcibly suppressed by themselves will erupt again in a more violent form.

"This most traditional way of moral inspiration is simply pale in front of interests, and feudal bureaucrats have learned benevolence and righteousness since childhood, and how much effect can moral inspiration have on them?" Xiao Mu picked up those portraits of "traitors" and thought, he had no bottom in his heart at all.

Xiao Mu found that he didn't have any effective good ideas, and for the officials below who were busy fighting with each other all day long, there seemed to be no way to make them give up fighting and unite with the outside world: after all, the wealth of the whole world is basically in the Ming Dynasty, and they only need to compete within the scope of the Ming Dynasty, after all, outside the Ming Dynasty are wild and barren places, and there are vicious barbarians outside the country, what is there to fight for?

Such a simple truth that Xiao Mu could think of made him feel a splitting headache. As an emperor, he nominally has the supreme power of the entire country, but there is nothing he can do with the huge bureaucracy, and the officials have their own set of rules of the game, and even the emperor cannot change them. For any official, the emperor can demote, scepter or even kill him at will, but the newcomer who takes over is still the same thing, and there will be no essential difference. In this way, even the emperor is simply powerless in the face of the entire bureaucracy.

The contrast between the nominal supremacy of power and the impotence shown in front of the bureaucracy may stem from such a contradictory fact, which may be due to the fact that the original Chongzhen Emperor in history was rigid, suspicious, and suspicious by nature.

Xiao Mu fell asleep unconsciously with a feeling of loss.

Until the next morning, Xiao Mu didn't remember when he fell asleep after waking up. In short, since you have crossed over here to become an emperor, you must be aware of dealing with bureaucrats and adapt to their set of rules of the game, and the best way to deal with feudal officials is, of course, nothing more than the so-called "imperial mental tricks" of "wooing", "attacking" and "balancing".

So Xiao Mu asked Wang Chengen to invite Qian Qianyi again, and he still had to continue to listen to her, and he also instructed Wang Chengen to invite the queen over to listen together.

Soon Lin Yi and Qian Qianyi were invited, and when they saw the queen mother, they also had to listen together, Qian Qianyi was nervous and modest again, and only after a long time did he return to normal, picked up the book, and began to explain.

Xiao Mu found that Lin Yi listened very seriously, and he couldn't help but be a little distracted in his heart, "It's not easy to always think about being the emperor, but it's much more difficult for Lin Yi to become such a queen, and of course it's not so easy to be a woman in a feudal society." It seems that it is good to let Lin Yi listen with him, and at the same time pass the time to relieve boredom, he can also learn some 'imperial mental skills', and there are wars everywhere in the late Ming Dynasty, and I can't say that one day my emperor will really suddenly 'die', and at that time, there will be a 'queen mother' who can listen to the government to calm the scene. ”

After explaining for about an hour, because the queen mother was also present to listen, Qian Qianyi was very nervous, and he seemed to be sweating at this time.

So Xiao Mu announced that he would talk about it here for the time being, which made Qian Qianyi breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, but before he had fully recovered, Xiao Mu arranged a new task for Qian Qianyi: continue to paint portraits of famous ministers in history, and be sure to draw their noble will and loyal moral sentiments, so that people will be awe-inspired at a glance, in sharp contrast to the "ministers" painted yesterday, and play a role in enlightening hundreds of officials - of course, the queen will also watch from the sidelines.

Immediately, Wang Chengen prepared the four treasures of the study, and Qian Qianyi had to agree, picked up the pen and thought for a long time before starting to paint on the paper.

Lin Yi was also curious, and wanted to take a good look at how Qian Qianyi painted, so he watched intently, which made Qian Qianyi even more nervous, and he painted until noon, and only painted a portrait of Zhuge Liang.

"The minister is stupid, he can only paint one in one morning, and he asks the emperor to punish the crime." Qian Qianyi pleaded guilty and said.

"It's okay, it's okay, there's no rush at this time, if you don't finish painting today, you can paint again another day. Qian Aiqing's painting of Zhuge Wuhou is really both god and form, presumably an ignorant child who has not heard of Wuhou's deeds, can also feel his high style and brightness from the painting. Xiao Mu comforted Qian Qianyi a few words, and also praised him.

"What the emperor said is right, and the palace looks really expressive." Lin Ye also cooperated with Xiao Mu to praise Qian Qianyi, this is really not a scene that should be promised by Xiao Mu, Lin Ye was indeed impressed by Qian Qianyi's painting talent, he didn't expect that classical portraits could also allow him to paint this exaggerated effect of later generations, of course, Xiao Mu, who had a great inspiration and influence on Qian Qianyi's painting style, was automatically ignored by Lin Yi again.

Qian Qianyi was naturally modest again, and said something like "Your Majesty, the mother praised it falsely".

Xiao Mu saw that it was already noon and Qian Qianyi was already very tired, so he announced that he would come here today and continue tomorrow, so he let Qian Qianyi go back.

Xiao Mu and Lin Yi naturally had lunch together, and seeing Lin Ye's expression was very happy, Xiao Mu asked: "How about calling Zhou Yanru to continue to talk in the afternoon, and let you know this character who is two yuan in the company?" ”

"Of course you can, you can't refuse to come." Of course, Lin Yi agreed without hesitation, so happy that it went against her original tsundere nature.
