Liu Chengfeng continued: "But later, the population increased dramatically, when the first emperor was there, the population was already several times that of the Taizu period, and the number of people and the lack of people became more and more people, so that there were more and more displaced people in the world, that is, in the past few years, the number of displaced people in various places has increased dramatically to hundreds of thousands, Your Majesty, the situation is very different from the time of Taizu, how can it be possible to use the law of Taizu to rule the world." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"Of course......" Liu Chengfeng quickly stopped in moderation after refuting the criticism of those officials about himself, of course he would not be stupid enough to overthrow Emperor Taizu, and then changed his words, and said: "Many of Taizu's laws are good, and there are many things that can be used for reference, so Weichen thinks that the imperial court sometimes adapts to the times, but even if it is adapted to the times, the ancestral system must also be taken into account." ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly, and said noncommittally: "I have read these impeachment books. He was silent for a moment, and then said, "It's that you made a lot of noise in the brocade guard." ”

The emperor first said that he had read it, but he quickly changed the topic, with Liu Chengfeng's shrewdness, of course, he knew the meaning of it, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei wants to expand the scale, there is no rule that is not successful, Your Majesty does not often say, people who read know things, Weichen is deeply taught by His Majesty, and he also thinks deeply, Jinyiwei pro-army said that it is a military position, but Weichen thinks that the most important thing in the guard is not to advocate force, but to understand the reason first, and to know loyalty is the most important." Furthermore, the promotion of the examination is not unfair, and it also avoids nepotism, which is also a good thing, as for someone attacking Weichen, Weichen does not care, because Weichen knows, others do not know Weichen's intentions, but His Majesty must know. ”

This sentence can be regarded as Liu Chengfeng's genius, and the first sentence implies that Liu Chengfeng is doing what the emperor wants. The reason for the extraneous words is that the emperor asked me to do something, so I did it. The next sentence grabbed Zhu Youzhang's mind and told the emperor that talking about the importance of reading, and reading is Zhu Youzhang's hobby, and this second sentence also fits Zhu Youzhang's thoughts.

This last sentence is to show his heart and tell the emperor that he is not power, you see, if I am power, how can I get an exam, because the exam is fair, it all depends on everyone's ability. If Liu Chengfeng is in power, why not appoint officials himself?

In the end, Liu Chengfeng didn't forget to add that he didn't care at all what others said, which means that he is not afraid of offending people, he is just thinking about the court, if someone looks at him unpleasantly, let them accuse him.

In fact, the last sentence at the end of the day is Liu Chengfeng's finishing touch, as the Son of Heaven, he is fortunate to be a courtier, but once there is a crisis of trust, then all the favors are fake. And the reason why Liu Chengfeng is deeply trusted, even if Zhou Cheng died, he never wavered, the most important point is that Liu Chengfeng dares to offend people, the emperor can tolerate the ministers, and can also tolerate the unruliness of the courtiers, and even sometimes, he can tolerate the courtiers breaking the law, but there is one point, when a courtier is too perfect, or is praised by the government and the opposition, then this person can't help but be wary? Because once such a person conceives a different heart, the consequences are very serious.

Just like Wang Mang at the end of the Han Dynasty, this person was called a gentleman, before revealing his true face, who didn't admire him? Which one doesn't say that he is a sincere gentleman?

Liu Chengfeng knew in his heart that the more controversial and attacked he was, the more stable his position was, so he added such a sentence at the end, others said irresponsible things He Liu Chengfeng didn't care, let them scold, he could be indifferent to the opposition of the whole world, what he cared about was the emperor's thoughts.

This is a loyal minister, and you can use it with confidence.

Liu Chengfeng's words hit Zhu Youzhang's arms, and he couldn't help laughing: "You are just too reckless and careless." However, the method of this exam is indeed quite insightful, but since it is an exam, why should it take arithmetic? ”

In this era, arithmetic can only be regarded as a miscellaneous subject, and it cannot be ranked in the hall of elegance, and it is not surprising that Zhu Youzhu has this question.

Liu Chengfeng pursed his lips and said: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei is not a talent, in addition to the necessary scriptures and history to take some exams, it is not bad to learn some miscellaneous subjects." Although arithmetic is not the right way, learning is not a bad thing. ”

Zhu Youzhu nodded his head and said, "Okay, I won't say much about Jinyiwei, you can make up your own mind." Then he called someone to serve tea, the two of them drank tea, and spoke more casually, Zhu Youzhu was weak, after drinking a cup of tea, his face was already tired, he talked and said: "I only feel that time is very insufficient now, I can't split one hour into two hours to spend, yes, the West Palace asked you to inquire about the news of Hanlin, right?" ”

Liu Chengfeng nodded and said: "Half a month ago, Niangniang had entrusted Weichen to inquire, and Weichen had already handed a note to Kunning Palace, there is really a new Hanlin in the Hanlin Courtyard, yes, this person's surname is Jiang, presumably His Majesty also knows him, he is not very old, but for some reason there is no marriage so far, Niangniang seems to be quite likely, and let me ask about the birthday." ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "This Jiang Aiqing is also a talent, he is not very old, and his appearance is also outstanding, and now in the Hanlin Academy, I see that he is a talent, but he is ...... If he really marries the princess to him, he may not be willing, and the palace naturally can't force it, in fact, if it weren't for my condition, I would really be reluctant to marry the princess like this, what do you think? ”

Liu Chengfeng saw that Zhu Youzhang's impression of the surname Jiang was also good, and he knew in his heart that as long as the surname Jiang agreed, most of this person would be a concubine. Originally, this princess had nothing to do with his fart, but now that he listened to the emperor's words, he couldn't help but be a little sour, and after thinking about it, Liu Chengfeng said: "Since it is Hanlin, there must be talent, but I don't know what the surname is?" ”

Zhu Youzhu obviously has a special preference for readers, and said bluntly: "I have read his articles, and I know that his character is not bad when I read his articles, and what I am worried about now is whether he is willing or not, if the palace asks, if he refuses, I don't know where to put my face." After that, he glanced at Liu Chengfeng deeply and sighed heavily.

Liu Chengfeng suddenly realized, damn it, it turned out that the emperor summoned him to the palace, and what he wanted to say was not about those impeachment books, but about letting himself match up to be a turtle duke, he was very uncomfortable, and he couldn't say where he was uncomfortable, so he simply pretended to be stupid, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's a good day today, and it's not good for your body to stay in this palace, so let's go out for a walk together." ”

Zhu Youzhu felt that he had given this guy enough hints, but this guy looked indifferent, he shook his head: "Don't go, I'm discussing with you about Princess Taikang now, you don't care about him." ”

Liu Chengfeng said: "Princess Taikang is married, and Weichen is a foreign minister......"

"Are you a foreign minister?" Zhu Youjiao's perceptive eyes looked at Liu Chengfeng, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are also Princess Taikang's brother-in-law, is this also an outsider?" I said it bluntly, when I leave the palace later, you will go to find Jiang Aiqing to find out his tone, if he has this intention, he will report to the palace immediately, and his birthday must also be asked carefully. This is the will and must not be disobeyed, you know? ”

Liu Chengfeng had no choice but to accept the will and leave the palace with a sad face.

As soon as this willow rode the wind, a crisp low cough came from the side of the ear room of the Zhengxin Palace, Zhu Youzhu raised his head and said in the direction of the ear room: "Come out, the person has already left." ”

But seeing Empress Zhang coming out of the ear room with a long skirt, Empress Zhang looked depressed, walked to Zhu Youjiao's side, and said, "Your Majesty, do you feel better?" ”

Zhu Youzhu grabbed her hand and said gently: "It's much better, you don't have to worry, I have already explained the matter to Liu Chengfeng, I'm afraid that there will be news soon." ”

Empress Zhang sighed and said, "Didn't Your Majesty see that Liu Chengfeng was very reluctant to inquire about this news?" ”

Zhu Youzhu smiled slightly and took a sip of tea, and said, "This is not a glorious thing, and he should not want to." ”

Empress Zhang frowned and said: "What the concubine wants to say is, didn't Your Majesty see that Liu Chengfeng has a lot of friendship for Duoduo?" ”

"Ah......" Zhu Youzhu whispered in disbelief, "Why can't I see it?" ”

Empress Zhang said angrily: "You only know how to act in government affairs, and you can't even take care of your own body, what can you see?" Empress Zhang's eyes flashed with a hint of shrewdness, and said: "The concubine not only sees that this Liu Chengfeng has some friendship for Duoduo, but also knows that Duoduo ...... him."

As a mother, it is inconvenient to talk about this kind of thing.

Zhu Youzhang's face became solemn: "This is absolutely impossible, Liu Chengfeng already has a wife, besides, he has already married the county lord of Longting, how can he let the princess marry him again?" ”

Empress Zhang pursed her lips and said: "The concubine also means this, Liu Chengfeng is good at everything, if he is not married, the concubine may really move this idea." But now that he has a wife, the matter should not be considered. Therefore, the concubine was even more anxious to marry this girl, and marrying it earlier saved her from thinking nonsense. ”

Zhu Youzhu's face was cloudy and he sighed, and said, "Yes, you're right, it's better to marry earlier." I understand, you specially asked me to summon Liu Chengfeng, and asked him to ask Jiang Aiqing what he meant, do you want to tell Liu Chengfeng secretly and make him retract?"

"Is there one?" Empress Zhang smiled and denied it.
