"Back to Your Majesty, the matter is almost done. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBut for the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Weichen has some ideas, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”

"Tell me about it." Zheng De gestured slightly.

Wang Tingxiang groaned and said, "Wei Chen believes that these dismissed palace people should be dismissed according to their age and performance in the palace. In particular, those palace people who are indiscriminate and idle in the palace should be dismissed first. There are also those palace people who are relatively old, already forty or fifty years old, who have lived in the palace for most of their lives, and I am afraid that it is difficult to survive outside, so I think they should stay. But what Wechen means ......"

"Okay, since I have entrusted you with the affairs of the palace, you can do what you want." Zheng De directly interrupted him, and he couldn't stand it anymore. Then he said, "If you have any plans for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, just send me a report." ”

Although he is a little unfamiliar with the name of the report, it is not difficult to understand the emperor's words. Wang Tingxiang nodded, "Weichen understands. ”

Zheng De suddenly remembered something, "By the way, I decided to implement the system of scattered officials in the imperial court, and there are as many as forty-two levels of essays in the imperial court, which is not only many but also very cumbersome, and ordinary people remember it at all." After you go back, help me revise the Wen Shan rank according to the court grade, just like the military rank I told you about, which is as simple, clear and practical. ”

"Your Majesty, it doesn't seem to be much necessary, does it?" Wang Tingxiang said with some hesitation.

Zheng De waved his hand, "This matter is just a gesture for you, this matter is settled, don't shirk it anymore." ”

Seeing that the emperor had talked about this, Wang Tingxiang could only agree with a bitter smile.

Zheng De stood up, stretched his somewhat stiff limbs, looked at the bustling flow of people outside the window, and looked back at Wang Tingxiang, who had already stood up, "This tea is also about the same, let's go." ”

Then walked out of this relatively quiet and elegant teahouse, Zheng De glanced back at the teahouse behind him, and said to him with a smile, "In the future, you can come here to drink tea if you have time." ”

However, Zheng De did not return to the palace immediately, but took a group of people to wander around the street. Compared with the calm and slightly depressing life in the palace, he still envies the lives of ordinary people. It's a pity that it is such a simple wish, and because of the identity of the emperor, it has become a distant luxury.

However, Zheng De was relieved, and the ordinary people were trembling with fear. Watching a group of big men wandering around the street with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy in Chinese clothes, he knew that his identity was extraordinary at a glance. Nine times out of ten, I have nothing to do and pick quarrels and provoke trouble on the street, for fear that if I accidentally collide, I will be half dead. When all the people saw Zheng De and the others, they all walked around the road for several years.

"Why are the people so afraid of us, and they all go around the road when they see it?" Zheng De turned his head to look at Wang Tingxiang and the others, "Are we scary?" ”

Wang Tingxiang and the others looked at each other when they heard this, do you still need us to say it directly, do the people already regard you as a bully who is bullying people?

Seeing that they were all silent, Zheng De also guessed a few points. Thinking that one day he would be regarded as a gentleman, he couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"Forget it, go back to the palace directly!" Zheng De waved his hand. I was thinking if there could be any sexual encounters on the street, but unfortunately what the novel said was a lie. Except for some ordinary women on the street, there are really no women who make his eyes shine.

"You still want to eat and live in my place for nothing, it's just a shame for the reader, why don't you get out of here."

Zheng De had just passed by an inn when he saw a burden thrown out. If Cao Qian hadn't just stepped forward to block it, I'm afraid it would have smashed on himself.

"I'm idle and have nothing to do, so I have this kind of thing, isn't this obviously asking me to stand up and take care of this kind of idle thing."

He couldn't help but smile faintly. Picked up the burden and looked at the down-and-out scholar who had been kicked out, "Is this your package?" ”

"Didn't you see that?" The down-and-out scholar said it unceremoniously. Seeing that Zheng De was surrounded by so many people, he stepped forward fearlessly, took the package he handed over, turned around and strode away, without even saying a word of "thank you".

"It's a little interesting, but it......'s a pity," Zheng De looked at his back as he turned away, and added in a voice that he could only hear, "It's a pity that I can't manage it." ”

However, Wang Tingxiang on the side couldn't stand it, and said loudly, "As a scholar, why is he so uneducated, and he doesn't even know how to say 'thank you'?" ”

The man didn't look back and said, "For this kind of silverfish parasitic on the mountains of the Ming Dynasty, how can it be worth saying the word 'thanks'." On the contrary, it is the person like you who is greedy for vanity and clings to the powerful that is the real disgrace of the reader's face. ”

Wang Tingxiang's face immediately turned red when he heard this, it was the first time he was insulted like this, and he was about to speak back, but was stopped by Zheng De. looked at his back when he was about to go away, and asked loudly, "Dare to ask my brother's name?" ”

"When you wait for a certain high school, you will know." The voice spread far away, and the person was already around the corner.

Zheng De couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "It's quite a person with personality!" Ziheng, what do you think? ”

"I think he's arrogant and doesn't know what to do!" Wang Tingxiang naturally has nothing good to say.

Looking at his angry expression, Zheng De was quite amused, and said teasingly, "It's the first time I've seen Ziheng angry!" ”

Wang Tingxiang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

……

As soon as Zheng De returned to the palace, Wang Yue rushed over and said, "The three pavilion elders are here." ”

Zheng De nodded, and ordered the few people behind him, "You all go back to rest, Ziheng and I will go over together." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't stop long, and went directly to Yongsu Hall with Wang Tingxiang.

"Your Majesty, Ministers." Liu Jian and the others, who had been waiting a little impatiently, hurriedly bowed when they saw the emperor appear.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a seat." Zheng De walked to the throne and sat down, while Wang Tingxiang followed closely behind him.

After the three pavilion elders sat down, Zheng De looked at them, "I don't know what the three pavilion elders are talking about?" ”

Liu Jian stood up and arched his hand, "The ministers hope that Your Majesty can implement the retirement system in advance and reassure the hearts of the subjects of the world." ”

Zheng De was stunned when he heard this, and glanced back at Wang Tingxiang, but he didn't expect that these people would want to go together for this matter.

He felt a little surprised and secretly relieved. After all, this also means that you don't have to do the kind of thing that "both **** and want to set up an archway", so as to avoid unnecessary embarrassment.

However, he still asked with some curiosity, "I don't know why Liu Ge Lao wants to advance the implementation of the retirement system?" ”

Liu Jian didn't say anything, but looked at Li Dongyang on the side, obviously hoping that he could stand up and speak. The latter had to stand up and arch his hand, "Your Majesty, if you set this retirement age, I am afraid that a large number of people will have to retire from the Chinese Martial Arts." If there are so many people at the same time, I am afraid that some yamen in the court may not be able to operate due to lack of manpower. Therefore, the three ministers petitioned His Majesty to implement the retirement system in advance, so that the officials could be sent to the officials in batches, so as not to cause turmoil in the imperial court. ”

Since everyone wanted to go together, the cabinet filed a petition. Zheng De would not really agree again and again according to what Wang Tingxiang said, and after thinking about it, he directly responded to the matter.

"Although this matter is contrary to the promise I made before, but since the three Pavilion Elders have asked for this, it seems that I can't agree to it, so leave this matter to Li Pavilion Elder to do, what do you think Aiqing thinks?" Zheng De glanced at the three of them.

"Wei Chen thinks it's okay, but Xie Ge can help with this." Liu Jian finally brought Xie Qian in, obviously wanting to use this incident to improve the prestige of these two pavilion elders in the court before leaving.

Zheng De pondered for a moment, and also guessed some of Liu Jian's thoughts. After thinking about it, he continued, "Set up a retirement system working group, headed by you, Xie Ge Lao, Liang Chu, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhang Sheng, the right capital of the imperial history, to assist you in doing this, what do you think?" ”

The three of them looked at each other and agreed.

Seeing that the three of them agreed to this matter, Zheng De still remembered Wang Tingxiang's advice before, and added, "Your first task now is to first find out the list of officials who are over sixty-five years old below the third rank and above the fourth rank, and then hand me the list, understand?" ”

"Your Majesty, why did you start to implement the retirement system from the middle group of officials?" Xie Qian, who had not spoken, finally seized an opportunity at this time and couldn't help but ask.

Zheng De didn't want to deal with him, but he saw that Liu Jian and Li Dongyang were also looking at him with puzzled expressions. He explained, "Zheng Erpin explained the important ministers of the imperial court, and at this moment, they are still needed to stabilize the situation between the DPRK and China, so naturally they can't retire now." As for the officials below the fourth grade, due to the large number of people, it is not possible to count them overnight and make them famous, and only the middle group of officials is the most suitable. ”

Xie Qian bowed slightly when he heard this, and he understood a little. However, Liu Jian and Li Dongyang understood that things were definitely not as simple as they told the emperor. Especially when I think of some recent wind directions in the imperial court, I guessed a few points.

When a few people were about to leave, Zheng De still said uneasily, "Your main task this year is to make these officials who have reached the retirement age of sixty-five years old one by one. As for the officials in the other two age groups who need to be Zhishi, they will wait until next year, which is the first year of Zhengde. This is a very important matter, so you better not say anything about it, and they will talk about it if they want to. The more this kind of thing is explained, the easier it is to attract blackmail, and if no one pays attention to it, they will naturally calm down after a while. Therefore, even if the matter of this group of officials is arranged, it is best for Li Qinger and the others to do it secretly for me, and not let too many people know. In a word, I hope that the imperial court will be able to make a smooth transition in the next period of time. ”

It was the first time for the three of them to see the emperor warn them with such harsh words, and they looked at each other in some surprise, and arched their hands, "The ministers obey the order." ”

When he saw the three of them leave, Zheng De suddenly collapsed on the throne, like a dead dog. I couldn't help muttering in my heart, "It's so fucking tiring to be the emperor, especially when you're pretending!" ”
