Since giving birth to a son and a daughter, Lu Chengqi is so happy that he walks every day without knowing which foot is good. Although he set the heir training plan early, Queen Zhou Zhiruo was angry with him for a long time, even if Lu Chengqi was cheeky to see his son, Zhou Zhiruo didn't give him a good look. made Lu Chengqi sigh: "Women are like this, no matter how gentle and virtuous a woman is, when it comes to her son, she will probably become a loving mother, but I don't know how defeated a loving mother is!" ”

That being said, Lu Chengqi's mood is still very good, even he, who has never liked sycophants, has suffered several clever sycophants in succession.

On this day, in the vertical arch hall, Lu Chengqi was dealing with political affairs, and Gao Hao quietly came in to report: "Your Majesty, Xu Jingchun, director of the Supervision Department, asks to see you." ”

"Oh? He disappeared for several days, didn't he catch a big corrupt official? Let him in......"

With Lu Chengqi's will, Gao Hao slowly bowed and retreated.

Not long after, a burly man entered the vertical arch hall, and bowed and said, "Minister Xu Jingchun sees Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Chengqi glanced at him and teased: "Xu Qing, I haven't seen you for half a month, but you have grown a lot of meat?" ”

Xu Jingchun smiled awkwardly: "Isn't this the beginning of the new year, eating too much?" In previous years, how could there be such a situation, when I wanted to be in the border army, I was hungry and full. In addition, the minister has recently begged for a Hun family......"

"Yo, news, isn't Xu Qing known as an invincible opponent in Qinglou, why, are you willing to end your career as a golden bachelor?"

Xu Jingchun never thought that Lu Chengqi's mouth had become so tricky, and he stood there embarrassed for a while: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the ......."

Lu Chengqi is in a good mood, and he doesn't care about talking to him, but he has a lot of political affairs in hand, most of which are Jiangnan matters submitted by Xu Chongguang, the first assistant to the cabinet. Jiangnan is the granary of Lu Chengqi's plan, and with the canal and shipping, it is enough to cope with the famine. Think about the end of the Ming Dynasty in the official history, even if there was a severe drought in Shaanxi and other places, Jiangnan still had surplus grain, which shows that Jiangnan plays a pivotal role in food security. Lu Chengqi still wants to develop the Northeast, but it's a pity that the current Northeast is half of the Liao State and the Jurchens.

Lu Chengqi closed the book, slowly raised his head, and asked, "Xu Qing came to see me this time, what important things do you have to tell me?" ”

Xu Jingchun said: "Back to Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji of the Liao State will change the Yuan Xianyong, and the amnesty will be granted." Liang Wang Jun as the crown prince; There is a difference in the rank of hundreds of officials. ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The Liao State is anxious, and now that Yelu Yixin wants to replace him in Liao, how can he let the prince sit for a long time?" In my opinion, just a few years will be a disaster. ”

Xu Jingchun didn't dare to answer, a few years later, who would dare to assert that he could see it through?

"Anything else?"

Facing Lu Chengqi's questioning, Xu Jingchun said knowingly: "The Jurchen chief Wanyan Wugunai asked the eldest son Wanyan Impeacher and the second son Wanyan Impeachment to live in the same mansion, and the Wanyan Impeachment Bowl was in charge of household affairs, and Wanyan Impeachment was in charge of foreign affairs. ”

Lu Chengqi knew that according to Jurchen customs, the sons of chieftains should move to different palaces to live in their own homes. But the eldest son is in charge of housework, and the second son is in charge of foreign affairs, which is a bit unusual.

"It seems that Wanyan Wugunai likes his second son very much!"

Lu Chengqi sneered and said, Wan Yan Aguta, the son of Wan Yan Impeachment Libo, had just been born, and he had set an heir.

"Back to Your Majesty, Wanyan impeachment's courage and courage are also outstanding among the Jurchen people, and Wanyan Wugu is meant to belong to him, which is also normal. In the end, it is a foreign tribe, which is not the same as my Han people. Xu Jingchun replied respectfully.

Lu Chengqi nodded: "The Jurchens have been prosperous recently, and they are roughly inseparable from the eloquence of Wanyan Wugunai. Even if Wanyan's impeachment is less than half of his father's, it can still make the Jurchens not fall behind against the Liao State. You have to keep an eye on this Jurchen, in the past few years, it has become more and more cold, and Mobei is even more cold. If the Jurchens can't stand it, I'm afraid they will make a desperate bet and invade the south regardless of the ground. Although my Central Plains is cold, it is less than half of Mobei, and it is regarded as a paradise for foreigners. ”

"The minister must do his best to watch the Jurchen for His Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi glanced at Xu Jingchun, who was swearing, and said, "There are also Liaoguo, Gaoli, and Dongying, you have to pay attention." ”

"Obey the order!"

Lu Chengqi nodded, and suddenly asked, "There is no major incident in the court?" ”

In fact, he wanted to ask, after so long, he didn't find out one or two corrupt officials? That doesn't seem very scientific!

Xu Jingchun was stunned for a moment, and soon realized: "Since Your Majesty rectified the officialdom, the wind of honesty has been suppressed, and you can get rich in business, so why take risks?" As far as the ministers know, the ministers of the court and the central government have made many of the sons and nephews of the family take care of the business, although they read the books of the sages, they also do the ...... of Tao Zhu"

Lu Chengqi nodded, this is a good phenomenon, the pig is fattened and then killed. Now officials do not have to pay taxes, and they can use price reduction competition to crowd out their opponents and disrupt the market order. After a few years, where will there be such a good situation?

"But Sima Guang, who has just been promoted to the Zhiyuan Academy, seems to have a lot of complaints......"

"Sima Guang?" Lu Chengqi said suspiciously, "What complaints does he have about this minister?" ”

"Resentment of His Majesty's nepotism......"

Lu Chengqi became interested and said, "What's going on?" ”

"Didn't Your Majesty want to arrange the Chinese book and Zhufang characters, Wang Guangyuan, and directly gather in the Xianyuan? Sima Guangyan said: 'Although Guangyuan is thin and has literature and art, the rest is not good at it, and among the scholars and doctors, he is good at running and competing, and is good at enterprising, and is called the first. Township to the first general judgment, the arrangement of Chinese text, between two years, in addition to the knowledge of Shuzhou, the recommended gentry has been with the finger as a fluke; Now I can't stay, and I suddenly increase my position, and I don't want to be confused by foreign courts! At the beginning of His Majesty's reign, he wanted to promote the world's talents and put them in inferior positions, so as to lead the ministers, and the ministers of the deacons could not be called His Majesty's will. In the past, he used the power of Pi Gongbi to send the judges of the three divisions, and now he uses Guangyuan to directly gather the Xianyuan, how can he make the people of the world still honest and shameful, and the style of Chongdun is thick! 'How can Your Majesty endure such boldness?' ”

Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said: "Sima Guang is a minister, although his head is not very bright, but he is loyal to the country, which is good. That's it, Wang Guangyuan just wanted to promote him, since Sima Qing said that I was promoted too quickly and lost people's hearts, it should be like this. Then let Wang Guangyuan experience two more years. How is it over there in Annam? ”

Xu Jingchun replied: "In Annan, it has been swept away by General Yang, and no one dares to attack my Dashun army. The governors and chiefs of various prefectures have pleaded guilty, and they are willing to sacrifice the city, hand over the armor and blade, and become a rich man. ”

Lu Chengqi said coldly: "It's not impossible to be a rich man, but the tax must be collected in full." By the way, there are people among the people who are willing to go to Annam? ”

Xu Jingchun said embarrassedly: "The people of Annan are willing to go to Jiangnan, but no Dashun people are willing to go to Annan." (To be continued.) )
