Chapter 24: Su Shi and Su Zizhan

Su Shi also seemed to be frightened by Lu Chengqi, and said in a daze: "Has the little brother ever heard of Xiaosheng?" ”

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "Not only did I hear about it, but I also worshiped it tightly!" However, I am afraid that you will not have a chance to be degraded in this life, and those famous poems will not be able to write that kind of charm, all because of the current emperor of Ge Nai! ”

Lu Chengqi quickly suppressed his surprise, after all, he didn't know what Su Shi was capable of, if he rashly used it, I am afraid that this would kill him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLu Chengqi, as an emperor, must be responsible for his own country. There were actually a lot of famous ministers in the Song Dynasty, but only those emperors couldn't use it. Like Di Qing, Wang Anshi, Fan Zhongyan, Sima Guang, Ouyang Xiu...... Which one is not famous in later generations? It's just that in this time and space, because of the changes in the previous dynasty and history, they have not yet appeared in Lu Chengqi's field of vision. "No, I have to check when I go back, if there are any officials with the same name, if there is, observe them, and then decide whether to reuse them."

Su Shi didn't expect that Lu Chengqi would think so much in a blink of an eye, and after Lu Chengqi came back to his senses, he returned to normal and said: "It seems that I have heard it somewhere, Zizhan should not be surprised." ”

Su Shi smiled bitterly: "Xiaosheng is just a madman, in Meizhou, because of his radical remarks, he squatted in prison for a few days, where does he have any reputation." If so, I'm afraid it's notorious. ”

Lu Chengqi then remembered that if he hadn't ordered to remove the crime of not adding guilt to speech, I am afraid that Su Shi would still be squatting in prison now. Sure enough, Su Shi said: "Fortunately, today's holy decree abolished that scholars cannot talk about state affairs, and Xiaosheng was able to get out of prison." Hearing that the saint will open Enke again this year, Xiaosheng is confident that he can read the classics quite well, so he immediately rushed over. It's just that Enke's time is still early, so he has to put up his name in Pingshan Academy, so that he can have a quiet place to study. By the way, I don't know the little brother's surname? ”

Lu Chengqi smiled: "My name is Lu Yunzhi, you can just call me by name." ”

Su Shi also smiled: "Brother Lu turned out to be a national surname, and he is also a relative of the emperor?" ”

Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said: "The surname Lu is also normal, where can you climb the emperor's relatives?" Brother Zizhan don't think too much, I'm just a civilian. ”

Su Shi was a little surprised, in his opinion, he had such knowledge, but he was not an official gentleman, so he couldn't seem to say it. However, he didn't want to ask more, so he said: "I see, Brother Lu is from Chang'an?" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "The ancestral residence here has never been far away. By the way, today's saint has decreed a commercial tax, I don't know what Brother Zizhan has? ”

Su Shi sighed: "Although the saint is young today, he can see the problem very accurately. Xiao Sheng once studied the tax system of this dynasty and found it extremely unreasonable. A peasant family, whose annual income is less than 50 yuan, has to bear 78/10 of the national tax; And the merchant earns millions of dollars a year, but has never collected taxes. For a long time, the people suffered. Fortunately, the saint is discerning, and the commercial tax is levied, and with the humble opinion of a small student, he will definitely be able to enrich the treasury. ”

Lu Chengqi was heartbroken by him, and drank a glass happily, before shaking his head and saying: "Yes, it's just that those officials are not happy, which Beijing official doesn't have one or two shops?" Before, they didn't have to pay taxes, they were net income. Now that the tax is going to be levied, I will make some small moves, and I can't wait to cancel it all at once. I see, the Holy One will definitely persevere to the end. ”

Su Shi said with a smile: "The Holy Lord's creation of the Supervision Department is to put an end to this kind of situation. This supervision department is set up wonderfully, and there is no one to take care of the officials, so they are naturally desperate; If someone is watching, they won't be able to make money. It's just that I'm afraid that the authority of the Supervision Department is too great, and in the end there may be no one to govern it. ”

Lu Chengqi said meaningfully: "This depends on the law, if everyone obeys the law, how can such a thing happen?" Brother Zizhan, what do you think? Lu Chengqi remembered that in the original history, Su Shi wrote a treatise on the law "The Treatise on Punishment and Reward for Loyalty", which shocked Ouyang Xiu, the chief examiner at the time.

Su Shi pondered for a while and said: "The punishment should not be too severe, otherwise it will repeat the mistakes of the Qin Dynasty." It should not be too light, otherwise the rewards and punishments will not be clear. ”

Lu Chengqi clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Zizhan is high." In fact, in my opinion, the law is the bottom line of morality, and if you violate this bottom line, you must be punished. The murderer pays for his life, and the beater goes to prison. If the law is proper and the majesty cannot be questioned, the cost of crime will be greatly increased, and the number of natural crimes will be reduced. At the same time, it is necessary to popularize legal knowledge among the people, telling them what is legal and what is not, and only when the law is in the hands of the majority of the people can the maximum effect of the law be achieved, not to punish crime, but to prevent crime. ”

When Su Shi heard this, he thought for a long time and sighed: "Brother Lu is really Zhang Liang in the world!" Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years. Su Shi was taught! After that, just as he was about to give a salute, Lu Chengqi hurriedly grabbed him and said, "Brother Zizhan can kill me, I'm just talking about it, you don't have to take it to heart." With your current knowledge, you will become a pillar of the country in the future! ”

Xu Chongguang and others saw that Lu Chengqi and Su Shi had a very happy conversation, and they also talked about state affairs, and they couldn't help but secretly remember it, including Su Shi and his people. Enke in the coming year, if the little emperor can't see Su Shi during the palace test, it will be a big blow.

But who can understand Lu Chengqi's thoughts? He thought that Su Shi became famous as a young man, but his career has not been smooth, in addition to his own uprightness, not meeting a good emperor is also the main reason. But if there is no jealousy in it, Lu Chengqi doesn't believe it. To be honest, he didn't want Su Shi to be depressed like in history, and his lifelong ambitions were unrealized.

The two of them completely left their companions behind, and drank until dawn, discussing everything from astronomy to geography. This also made the relationship between the two grow by leaps and bounds, and they were about to burn yellow paper to worship their brothers. Later, both of them were very drunk, and Lu Chengqi didn't know how he returned to the palace.

When he woke up, it was already noon, Lu Chengqi shook his still dizzy head, and said in his heart: "If it was still the same body as before, I am afraid that I would have been seriously ill a long time ago." Fortunately, after eating reasonably and exercising in the past month, I have recovered some foundations. ”

After Lu Chengqi woke up, he saw Zhou Zhiruo bring a bowl of decanting soup, almost forcing Lu Chengqi to drink it. The originally dizzy head miraculously disappeared, and I felt that my mind was clear for a while, and even the air I breathed was much fresher.

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily: "Your Majesty, you can't get drunk again in the future, you are the emperor, and you have a lot of state affairs to deal with!" ”

Lu Chengqi said with a smile: "Didn't I make an order to put Beijing officials on a two-day holiday, this state affair continues, which day is not?" Okay, Zitong, I promise you that I will report to you when I drink in the future, how about it? ”

Zhou Zhiruo was happy at this time. It is rare to have a two-day holiday, no need to deal with government affairs, Lu Chengqi and Zhou Zhiruo went out of the palace together, played in Chang'an City for two days, and the interest came, and they also went out of the city gate, went to the countryside, and experienced the hardships of farmers.

Seeing the hard-working farmers, Lu Chengqi felt that the burden was heavier, and he had the responsibility to let his country be passed on, and he had the responsibility to let the hard-working Chinese people stand at the top of the world and avoid the poison of the Jurchens and Mongols in the future. Thinking more and more, Lu Chengqi felt that he had slowly integrated into the role of Emperor Dashun.
