Back at the palace, it was getting late. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Lu Chengqi went to the Funing Hall as always, otherwise those servants who wrote the emperor's living record would add two bad words to the living record, such as "Emperor Hongxiang lingered in the heart palace at night in a certain year and month, and he was not with the harem, I am afraid that there will be a hidden illness ......". These chamberlains, Lu Chengqi really wanted to remove them, but this was for the sake of the inheritance of Huaxia, the palace historian was set up, Lu Chengqi did not have such great energy and dared to abolish this system, so he had to let it go.

In the Funing Palace, Queen Zhou Zhiruo has been waiting for a long time. She waved away the palace maid, and personally dressed Lu Chengqi, and the two hugged each other. But Lu Chengqi didn't know what happened today, he seemed to be preoccupied, Zhou Zhiruo asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, but what's on your mind?" ”

Lu Chengqi looked at the delicate face in front of him, and he had an illusion that it was unreal. Even though he has slowly integrated into this dynasty and this role, in the depths of his soul, he is still the little clerk of the twenty-first century.

As long as it is a Chinese child, after leaving home, it must be homesick. And in this era, there are no telephones, no telegrams, and even if you write a letter, your family will not receive it. Thinking of his parents who had worked hard to raise him for 20 years, Lu Chengqi felt a deep guilt in his heart. Today is August 14, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, but when the moon is full, people cannot be reunited. Lu Chengqi felt helpless in his heart, even if he was a rich emperor in the world, there was no relatives, no family affection, is this the emperor's sorrow?

Lu Chengqi once asked himself, if he did it again, would he still save people? The answer is, yes. If he doesn't save him when he dies, he can't do it, and he doesn't regret saving people, even if he takes his own life. Lu Chengqi never succumbs to fate, and may succumb to reality, but the stubbornness in his bones cannot be changed by anyone.

Lu Chengqi sighed and said, "Zitong, I'...... I kind of want to take the imperial exam...... My mother died young, and my father is my only relative, and it will soon be his memorial day, and I want to meet him......"

If Zhou Zhi knew, the first emperor died of illness in November, and now it is almost September, and it is normal for Lu Chengqi to miss the first emperor. But what she didn't know was that Lu Chengqi's fake name as the emperor actually commemorated his biological parents.

Zhou Zhiruo clenched Lu Chengqi's hand and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is accompanying you." ”

Lu Chengyun stroked her soft with his hand and said, "This matter is not in a hurry, I will talk about it later." It's getting late, and it's going to be early tomorrow, so let's sleep. ”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded obediently, and the two hugged each other and fell asleep.

The next day, the five-day pilgrimage came again. In the Daqing Palace, Lu Chengqi had a majestic face, a look of authority without anger, and said slowly: "Zhongqing, can there be something important to play?" ”

I saw that among the hundreds of officials, one person came out of the crowd, holding a court wat and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

Lu Chengqi glanced at it and knew that it was Qin Taikang, the secretary of the Ministry of War, so he said lightly: "Quasi-play!" ”

Qin Taikang said: "Your Majesty, it is almost late autumn, and the salary of the border army is imminent. Some time ago, the Khitan barbarians plundered the border again, and the border troops suffered heavy casualties. If they are not compensated, they may mutiny. ”

Lu Chengqi had already known about this matter through the cabinet, but he stayed in the middle of the country because he was not only thinking about the issue of military salaries, but also the issue of military restructuring.

What is the combat effectiveness of an army that has no military discipline and whose officers can only eat the blood of soldiers? The Chinese nation once drove the grassland people to the bitter cold land north of the Hanhai Sea, and the Chinese army at that time was invincible and invincible. But once military discipline is lax and corrupt officials are everywhere, the soul of an army will be gone, and the Chinese army will once again slide into the abyss.

But if it is said that the Chinese army is worse than the army of the steppe people, it is not right. You cite the example of a Mongol army that swept across Eurasia and that the Qing Dynasty ruled the Central Plains with 100,000 men. It was just the corruption in the last years of the Southern Song Dynasty and the last years of the Ming Dynasty that caused many internal troubles, how to talk about resisting foreign enemies? Whether it was the Mongols or the Jurchens, when they seized the Central Plains, they just happened to occupy the time, and they could only sit firmly in line with the general trend. If the Han people do not fight among themselves, who in the world is the opponent of the Chinese nation?

And those steppe people who do not work and have no culture of their own occupy the Central Plains, they actually burned thousands of years of classics, and then controlled their thoughts, and under the policy of ignoring the people, the Chinese nation was in danger. On the one hand, he closed himself off from the country, and on the other hand, he shouted that the Celestial Empire was in the dream, living in a dream of self-deception, and wanted to rule China for tens of millions of years. In the end, the Mongols were driven out of the Central Plains, and the Manchus were drowned in the torrent of the Xinhai Revolution, ridiculous, pathetic, lamentable, hateful!

Lu Chengqi was full of thoughts for a while, ignoring the Daqing Palace, and the ministers attacked each other. After a long time, Lu Chengqi came back to his senses and said, "What Zhongqing said makes sense, but I don't agree. ”

The officials were stunned, everyone knew about the style of the little emperor, and it was unexpected every time. It's no surprise to see you again today. Lu Chengqi continued: "The matter of military salaries is the most likely to breed corruption. I have said that no matter how good the system is, no matter how good the officials are, without supervision, they will still slowly decay. I have decided that this time the payment of military salaries will be supervised by the Supervision Department throughout the process, and if anyone dares to reach out and touch it and drink the blood of the soldiers, I will not tolerate it! Qin Qing, this matter is within your purview, and you must handle it carefully. ”

After Qin Taikang received the decree, Lu Chengqi said: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, I ordered the city defense department to cancel the curfew, and the whole country will celebrate the festival together." All officials can go to the imperial dining room to receive moon cakes, this is my little care, I hope that in the future, you and I will work together to create a brilliant Dashun! ”

The hundred officials thanked and said: "Your Majesty Shengming! ”

Lu Chengqi thought of his parents again, his heart was sour, and he said: "If there is nothing important to start, let's retreat." Cabinet ministers, after the early dynasty, come to see me in the Arch Palace. ”

The cabinet ministers should be the people who have seen Lu Chengqi the most, and they didn't dare to slack off, so they went to the Vertical Arch Hall together to meet the saint. Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "You don't need to be restrained, you don't care about business today, just talk about Fengyue." I'm not the kind of person who only knows how to work, not rest. You've been working a lot these days, and I've seen it all. Although this national affairs are important, you are my humerus ministers, how can you not take care of your body? It must be combined with work and rest to be able to do it for a long time. I am not afraid to tell you that if you do not live up to me, I will not live up to you. ”

The twelve ministers of the cabinet were all terrified and said, "Wechen don't dare! ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Relax, I am going to visit Chang'an City with you today, I heard that the Mid-Autumn Festival, Chang'an City is very lively, I want to see it with my own eyes." Now go home, change into plain clothes, and leave the palace with me. ”

The cabinet ministers didn't expect that Lu Chengqi summoned them to meet them just to give them a holiday in person, how many people could enjoy such a fortunate event in the Dashun Dynasty? One by one, as if they had drunk a thousand-year-old wine, their footsteps out of the palace were fluttering, and they couldn't wait to take two steps at a time.

Lu Chengqi thought about his border army in the empty vertical arch hall: "The first step is to collect the hearts of the army, and the second step is to take out those guys who drink the blood of the soldiers, these damn guys should have been slaughtered with a knife." People are fighting to the death on the front line, but these bastards are hiding behind and drinking the blood of the soldiers, which is intolerable! The third step is to think carefully about how to win the hearts of low-level officers, slowly replace them with their own henchmen, and build them into their own pro-army. There is, haha, that's it, kill two birds with one stone, don't kill three birds with one stone, get four, get five! ”

Lu Chengqi thought of the wonderful place, and couldn't help but dance, fortunately, there was no one in the Vertical Arch Palace, otherwise those little eunuchs and little palace maids would have inspired Lu Chengqi crazy......
