Su Shi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly changed into his official uniform and prepared to enter the palace to face the saint. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

From the Cold Food Festival to Qingming, this is the legal holiday time in Dashun, and you can rest at home. But the Son of Heaven called, Su Shi didn't dare to disobey!

During the cold season, the palace is also deserted.

If it weren't for the bell-like laughter in the palace, Su Shi would have said that there was no one in the palace.

After asking the inner servant, I learned that Lu Chengqi was quite humane, and the maid in the palace, if the family is in Jingzhao Mansion, can be put home for the festival and worship the ancestors, until after the Qingming Festival, and then return to the palace.

Su Shi sighed that this was benevolent, and he once again fell in love with Lu Chengqi.

Speaking of which, since Lu Chengqi came into power, the concept of the people of Dashun has changed again and again. Not to mention the attitude towards merchants and craftsmen, even the respect for women is even greater than in previous dynasties. Now in many people's families, women earn higher salaries than men, and they really hold up half the sky. Being a palace maid in the palace is the most glorious position for women. Because it was only in the palace that women could become officials. They are also issued according to their ranks, and they are no less than those of male officials. Even because he is a close minister of the royal family, he is rewarded more than a man as an official.

When they get married, Queen Zhou Zhiruo will prepare a rich dowry for them, which is not much lower than that of the princesses of previous dynasties. With such an "owner", who doesn't want to serve in the palace? All the palace maids who come out of the palace have a very high status in their husband's family. If the husband's family gets ahead again, it is not impossible to get a wife.

It's just that the draft is too strict, and if you are not beautiful, mild-mannered, and talented, it will be difficult to enter the palace.

As for the internal servants, Lu Chengqi had already decreed that he would not recruit again. There are palace maids in the service, even if they are carried and lifted, there are also sturdy palace maids.

Some officials said that the yin and yang in the palace are declining, which is really unfavorable. Lu Chengqi lightly retorted that there are more than 1,000 imperial guards, and there are only a few hundred palace maids, how can it be regarded as yin and yang?

In fact, Lu Chengqi felt that the eunuchs interfered in politics, and it was a great disaster that the eunuchs were abolished. In terms of palace maids, if Zhou Zhiruo is in charge, there will generally be no mess. The cost of buying a palace maid is much higher than buying a chamberlain, and you can't even buy it. As long as the palace maid is twenty-four or five years old, she can receive a large and rich dowry, why should she be bought by you?

Putting an end to the way of news from the palace, Lu Chengqi can be completely relieved. If it weren't for the fact that the only 100 or so remaining servants in the Compassion Palace had no place to live, Lu Chengqi would have sent them home a long time ago.

In fact, don't look at the eunuchs as celebrities in front of the emperor, but their physical defects are the root of their inferiority. Eunuchs are generally not psychologically healthy, and if the power falls into their hands, the world will not be in chaos? The warriors rebelled against the country, but they divided one side; If the civil officials are in turmoil, the dynasty will be changed; The eunuchs are chaotic and harmful. Emperor He of the Eastern Han Dynasty conspired with the eunuch Zheng Zhong to kill Dou Xian, opening a bad example of eunuchs participating in politics in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Since then, the eunuch "Ten Standing Attendants" has been even more notorious.

The country can be governed by civil and military affairs, and the balance can be balanced; With eunuchs, it is self-defeating! Lu Chengqi felt this deeply and abolished the eunuch.

Others don't know if it's duplicity, but Su Shi agrees with it very much.

For this emperor, Su Shi has many points of view, and even during the secret conversation, Lu Chengqi said that "the outer king and the inner saint", which was cited as a classic by Su Shi, and he was willing to assist, did his best, and died.

It's just that I don't know what is important for Lu Chengqi to summon him today?

With apprehension, Su Shi came to the outside of the vertical arch hall.

After the chamberlain entered the report, Su Shi was allowed to face the saint.

After a long salute, Su Shi said respectfully: "Minister Su Shi, see Your Majesty!" ”

"No rudeness!" Lu Chengqi said with a smile, "Give Su Qing a seat!" ”

At this time, the vertical arch hall is already equipped with chairs and coffee tables, and there is no need to move chairs. Just serve the fragrant tea, and the waiter can step down. Su Shi sat on half a chair before he cautiously asked, "I don't know what is the matter with Your Majesty's summoning of ministers here?" ”

It's no wonder that Su Shi asked this, the royal ancestor worship of the Qingming Festival, the Ministry of Etiquette is worried, and it is not his turn to be the secretary of the Criminal Department? "Could it be the expedition to Liao?" Su Shi was an extremely smart person and immediately thought of this.

"I want to attack Liao, and I want Su Qing to draft an article to discuss Liao." Lu Chengqi said straight to the point, "The Liao State is rampant, destroying the field, cutting off diplomacy, killing my border people, and taking my property is very hateful. Throughout ancient and modern times, the wolf of the steppe is ambitious, and he is always thinking about going south. If we can't suppress the Liao State, I am afraid that the Liao State will be powerful in the future, and it will be too late to regret it. ”

Su Shi is different from those pedantic literati, knowing Lu Chengqi's ambition, he wants to lay a peaceful and peaceful environment for Dashun. In this regard, Su Shi has no resistance. Besides, it is not the civilian officials who have the final say in sending troops to fight now, but the emperor, the Privy Council, and the military staff have the final say. In the Privy Council and the Military Staff, the proportion of civilian officials is very small, and there were no civilian checks and balances for a time. Even if the civilian officials protested with a boycott of the DPRK, Lu Chengqi could go his own way and resolutely send troops. It is unwise to know that you cannot do it. Lu Chengqi was full of confidence, and Su Shi also knew that he couldn't stop it, so it was better to spend energy and write a highly appealing essay to strengthen the army.

Su Shi was thinking about it, but Lu Chengqi had already prepared the pen, ink, paper and inkstone: "Su Qing's literary talent is outstanding, and I have always appreciated it." Not to mention the poetry and songs, it has already spread all over the world. It is the national anthem that has also infected hundreds of people and made great contributions to the country. ”

Su Shi hurriedly said modestly: "Your Majesty praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." ”

Lu Chengqi smiled and said nothing, and personally sharpened ink for Su Shi. Su Shi was moved and sobbed, and for a while, the text was like a spring. Immediately waved and wrote the next "Essay on Liao":

"Since ancient times, emperors have ruled the world, all of which are in China to control Yidi, and Yidi to serve China, and I have not heard of Yidi living in China and controlling the world. Since the Khitan in the north, deterring the grasslands, this is really a godsend. At that time, the monarch was bright and good, enough to dominate the world, and there were still sighs of inversion of the crown and shoes. Since then, the courtiers of Liao, do not follow the ancestral teachings, abolish the bad program, just like the great virtue of abolishing the long and young, Taiding kills the king with the ministers, and the Tianli takes the younger brother and the dove brother, as for the younger brother to accept the brother's wife, the son recruits the father and the concubine, and the upper and lower are accustomed to each other, Tian is not strange, and it is very chaotic in the father and son of the monarch and the minister. Mrs. Monarch, the suzerain, the suzerain, the court is the foundation of the world, and the etiquette is the great defense of the world.

And its heirs are famine, losing the way of the monarch and ministers, and the prime minister's dictatorship, the Xiantai complains, there is a division of poison and abuse, so the people's hearts are rebellious, and the world is rising, so that the people of China, the dead are smeared with liver and brain, and the living are not protected by flesh and blood. Gu Yun: 'Hulu has no luck for a hundred years', and today's test is true.

At this time, the circulation of heavenly fortune, the Central Plains is vigorous, and among the billions of trillions, when a saint is born, the Hu Lu is expelled, China is restored, Chen Ji is established, and the people are relieved. In this era, I have not heard of anyone who governs the world and the people, and the envoys are trembling, and they are in the land of the twilight of the Qin Dynasty, and they can be honest.

In the Liao Kingdom of Fangjin, there are known as Han people: forget the surname of the Chinese ancestors, but take the name of Hulu birds and beasts, and think it is a good name. The traitorous ministers of the Liao State, the fake Liao number to help their own interests, relying on the people to ask for the king, relying on the mausoleum, remote control of the court, this ambition is also; or the small number of people, obstructing the army and taking risks, bribing the famous lords, aiming to raise strength, in order to provoke the gap, this despicable person is also. and violating our borders, the military power has been obtained, the ambition is arrogant, and there is no intention of regaining the lord's protection of the people, which is really a great harm.

I am benevolent, but the Liao State brazenly sent troops, destroyed my Great Wall, killed my people, took my property, and did many evils, which was not tolerated by heaven.

Looking at the people of our Central Plains, they are all filled with righteous indignation. I respectfully accepted the mandate of heaven and dared to be at ease, so I wanted to send troops to the north to chase Hu Lu, save the people from the ashes, and restore the prestige of the Han officials. Worried that the people do not know, but for my hatred, the family went north, and was drowning deeply, so the first to tell: the soldiers are coming, and the people should not avoid it. My orders are serious, there is no offense, those who belong to me will always be in China, and those who carry me will run outside the fortress. Cover my Chinese people, and heaven will command my Chinese people to be in peace, and how can they be governed! I am afraid that the Middle Earth will be filthy and bloody for a long time, and the people will be disturbed, so he will lead the heroes to work hard to clear up, aiming to chase away the Hulu, eliminate the riots, so that the people can get their place, snow the shame of China, and the people will wait for their bodies.

For example, the Khitan, Jurchen, Murowei, Menggu, and Xi people, although they are not of the Chinese race, but between the same heaven and earth, there are those who can know etiquette and righteousness, and are willing to be subjects, which is no different from the people of Zhongxia to raise. Therefore, I would like to inform you that it is advisable to know. ”
