After Feng Chengping retreated, no one came to disturb Lu Chengqi. www.biquge.info According to the past practice, Xu Chongguang, the first assistant of the cabinet, will report to him "dutifully" in the afternoon. Sometimes Lu Chengqi is very annoyed by this little old man, because he is too punctual, and he wants to sneak out of the palace to play for a while, but he is blocked, and it is estimated that he will be entangled for a long time. Without him, this little old man is too responsible.

But now, Xu Chongguang is obsessed with Jiangnan and rarely cares about the affairs of the cabinet. In fact, he is also holding chicken feathers as an arrow, and the cabinet is not his alone, and there are eleven talented cabinet ministers, how can he lose to him? He is just afraid that if he does not do something in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet, he will not be able to reflect his superiority. So every day I took the ticket and went to Lu Chengqi's vertical arch hall. After coming and going, even Gao Ho was a little impatient.

Although today is relatively relaxed, he is not in a good mood after the training of the Queen Mother in the morning and listening to the secret report that corrupt officials have returned. Before the time came, I went to the imperial dining room.

And Zhou Zhiruo knew today that Lu Chengqi was going to enter her dormitory according to the rules, so he came back from the welfare home early and waited in the imperial dining room. Hearing Gao Hao's sentence "The emperor has arrived", she was slightly stunned, and said in her heart: "Why did Your Majesty come to the imperial dining room so early today?" ”

Zhou Zhi Ruolan had a good heart, and when she thought of what happened in Gyeongbok Hall today, she knew it in her heart. Zhou Zhiruo, who has high emotional intelligence, will not open any pot without mentioning which pot.

"Your Majesty thinks you're hungry, otherwise why would you come to the imperial dining room so early today? This imperial kitchen hasn't been washed yet! Zhou Zhiruo joked with a smile, unconsciously dispelling Lu Chengqi's unhappiness in his heart.

In fact, Lu Chengqi was not so careful, the Queen Mother was obviously partial to Jinxuan, and he had known this for a long time. He's just angry, why make some unjust means? He was originally a person with a strong sense of justice, otherwise he would not have been vicious and hateful, and he would have severely suppressed corrupt officials. Now Jinxuan's "approach" is no different from that of corrupt officials, and pulling relationships through the back door is something that Lu Chengqi is very disgusted with.

It wasn't until Lu Chengqi saw Zhou Zhiruo that he felt better. He was also a little surprised, it stands to reason that Zhou Zhiruo should be in the welfare home at the moment, why did he come back so early today?

Zhou Zhiruo seemed to know what Lu Chengqi was going to ask, and said casually: "Mr. Zhuge didn't get admitted this time, nor did he become a ten-grade official, so he had to go back to the welfare institute to continue teaching." ”

Lu Chengqi thought of the stubborn old Xiucai, and he was also funny: "Oh, why, the officials see that he is so old, and he is not lawful?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo glanced at him and said, "Who gave the order to treat everyone equally?" ”

Lu Chengqi laughed and said, "That's right, it's my will." It seems that the officials really treat everyone equally, I am very relieved, I am very relieved! ”

"Fortunately, Your Majesty doesn't know, after Mr. Zhuge went home, he cried bitterly for three days and three nights, and almost blinded his eyes. Fortunately, Sister Han went to persuade him, and he willingly returned to the welfare home......" Zhou Zhiruo said angrily, "If you can't persuade him, I'm afraid Mr. Zhuge will go." Your Majesty, why are you so ruthless and still laughing? ”

Lu Chengqi said with emotion: "I laugh at the world and can't see through it, what's so good about being an official, I'm scared all day long." I don't know the taste of food, and I can't sleep at night. Whatever happens, I have to look for you. But what if you have a little power? Do everything possible to get promoted and get rich, but in the end, you have to be afraid that the Supervision Department will investigate. These days are not lived by men. If I want to say, I have a choice, I would rather be a rich man, be quiet and idle at home, pick chrysanthemums under the east fence, and see Nanshan leisurely......"

Zhou Zhiruo smiled "fluttering", Lu Chengqi didn't know why: "Zitong, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Your Majesty is in the midst of blessings and does not know blessings, how many people in the world envy you. You don't have to worry about food and clothing, you have power, beauty, and money, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo said lightly, Lu Chengqi smiled bitterly: "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." I am the emperor, I have enjoyed the best things, and I also want to give the people of Dashun an environment to live and work in peace and contentment. But now Dashun is calm on the surface, but it is turbulent inside. There is a Liao country on the outside, and there are hidden dangers lurking inside. I work hard and hard, isn't the picture of the great shun country long, and the blessing of all the people! ”

Zhou Zhiruo nodded, she knew that her goal had been achieved. Now Lu Chengqi, where is there still a trace of depression, all of them have been awakened by their ambitions, and almost none of them are hot-headed and have promulgated new policies. Zhou Zhiruo was about to say something, when Shang Shi came in with the imperial meal.

After De Shangshi set up the imperial meal and tried the dishes with the same bowl in person, he respectfully withdrew from the imperial dining room. This is to ensure that no one puts poison in the food, and if an emperor is poisoned in the food, the world will be in chaos. So Shangshi also has a duty, that is, to taste dishes.

The door to the imperial dining room was closed, and it was already late autumn, and the night was cold. After the unitary hour, it became dark. The candlelight in the imperial dining room was bright, and Lu Chengqi's mood also improved: "Zitong, let's pick up chopsticks." ”

Zhou Zhiruo looked out the window in a daze, and it happened that a gust of autumn wind blew, bringing up some fallen leaves.

"Zitong, what's wrong?"

Zhou Zhiruo came back to her senses and sighed: "Your Majesty said before that you would set up a nursing home and a medicine bureau, and the concubines have been preparing for a long time, but you have not seen Your Majesty's decree to set it up. Seeing that the middle of winter is coming, the beggars, the lonely and widowed, the disabled, and the poor and homeless in Chang'an City are still living on the streets......"

Lu Chengqi understood that if Zhou Zhi was worried about the snow in winter, these people would freeze to death. He thought for a moment and asked, "The house of this almshouse has been prepared?" ”

Zhou Zhiruo glanced at him with "resentment" and said, "Since Your Majesty told the concubine about this matter, the concubine has already purchased a house in Chang'an City and is ready to resettle the poor. ”

Lu Chengqi praised: "Zitong is kind-hearted, and his mother is in the world, and I am very relieved!" In this way, I made a decree that the elderly over 60 years old could be put into a nursing home for the elderly, with one liter of rice per person per day and ten cents. Elderly people over 80 years old are given rice and firewood, and those over 90 years old are given 20 yuan a day for pickles, cloth clothes in summer, and cotton clothes in winter. Each state capital must set up a nursing home to adopt the orphaned and poor. As for the pharmacy, it is verified that it is in distress and can be exempted from medical fees. We sent medical students from Tai Hospital and Royal Roads University to the clinic. My grand wish, in Dashun, the old have support, the sick have medical treatment, learning and teaching, labor income, and housing...... Now that they have nursed, healed, housed, and worked together, they have been sent to teach. I don't know Zitong, but what do you think? ”

Zhou Zhiruo was stunned, she didn't expect Lu Chengqi to have this hidden trick. "Does Your Majesty want everyone in the world to fail to pass the Jinshi examination?"

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "If he has the ability, why don't you let him take the test?" Of course, all walks of life also need to use this knowledge. Bookkeepers must be able to read and write, traders must be literate, and workers must be able to write. People are not inherently dull, they can be taught. I don't plan to teach them too much, I just plan to open free schools in various state capitals and hire gentlemen to teach, and I don't charge anything. Only teach enlightenment readings, as long as you can read and write. As for whether to take the solution test and take the Jinshi exam, it depends on personal creation. Well, it's like a welfare home. ”

Zhou Zhiruo thought for a while, nodded, and said, "This method is good, and the money is not much." ”

Lu Chengqi sighed: "Ten years of trees, a hundred years of people, is it difficult, and it is not easy to persevere!" (To be continued.) )
