Zhao Huan didn't seem to see his expression, so he paced over for a long time, and smiled at Qin Hui again: "There is no beauty in the world? Well, yes, I should also call this chef Xie to see how beautiful and skillful she is. ”

His tone was relaxed, as if he really wanted to call Cook Xie to come, but Qin Hui understood in his heart that the emperor in front of him had very little material enjoyment, and when he was still in Tokyo, he reduced the amount of money in the palace several times, compared with his father Zhao Ji, it was a world of difference.

Even if it was Zhao Gou, the enjoyment of exile far exceeded that of Zhao Huan, who lived in Chang'an City for a year.

Not to mention anything else, when Zhao Ji was in Tokyo, every time he had a meal, the "courtyard house" waiting for him had more than 100 people, fifteen glasses of wine were served, and the dishes were at least 100 styles.

And Zhao Huan, there was news in the palace that this year's use was not as good as a month in the year.

He slammed a spirit, and the drunkenness of Shicai had disappeared, replaced by pain and helplessness. Ai Ai said to Zhao Huan for half a day: "The state affairs are anxious, the southeast is swinging, the golden people are around the side, and the ministers can't solve the country's worries, but ...... Your Majesty, please punish you severely! ”

This person was really quick to see the opportunity, and the emperor was paraded in micro-clothes late at night, obviously not having the leisure to come out and hang around. At the moment of national crisis, the minister is still extravagant, singing and singing every night, and enjoying himself excessively. And he, Qin someone, is obviously not a favored minister, nor is he an old minister and an important minister like He Su, with a hat on his head that he has not taken off, if the emperor is determined to rectify the atmosphere, who else will he use to open the knife?

He confessed his mistake in a tone of unwillingness and pain, as if he had been forced to a banquet, first blamed himself fiercely, and then pleaded guilty. In this way, Zhao Huan is not easy to blame him.

After Qin Hui finished speaking, he just bowed down and said nothing, and the corner of his eye secretly raised. I want to see the emperor's face.

I don't know if I was moved by his demeanor, or if I had other plans in mind. Zhao Huan really didn't intend to blame him, and when he finished speaking, he reached out and helped him up.

Qin Hui raised his head, although he saw that the emperor was still smiling, somehow, his heart was still cold.

He thinks he's smart, and he's really political, in his real life. defeated countless militaristic ministers who stood in front of him, from Zhang Jun to Zhao Ding, Yue Fei to Zhang Jun, all of whom were defeated in his hands.

At this time, although there is no skyrocketing. There is no power in his hands, but in his eyes, the people in the DPRK and China, Zhang Junzhi is very talented, although he is a little familiar with military affairs, but he is too stubborn, and sooner or later something will happen; Zhu Shengfei is just a mediocre material; Although Zhao Ding is talented, he is a small weapon, and he has no wrists, and Li Gang is expected to be inside. But it's too upright, and the scheming wrist is insufficient.

There is the Song generation, which pays attention to cultivating scholars and doctors, but before the Jingkang Change, there were indeed few people who were good at political power and could cover the sky with one hand.

Since the Taizu Dynasty to the present, but Cai Jing is alone.

Qin Hui didn't dare to be humble, but he felt that he might not lose to anyone.

Only by standing in front of Zhao Huan, the other party behaves modestly and treats others modestly. Sometimes it doesn't even look like an emperor. Just anyway. But it is not easy to teach people to despise it, and it is not easy.

Zhao Huan didn't seem to notice his strange thoughts. Xiao Yinyin took his hand and said, "A homely feast and drink is also human nature, and it is nothing." Qing replied like this, and it was very surprising to teach me. ”

Qin Hui only felt that the sweat in his hands was very uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to pull out his hand, so he had to be careful with his words, and replied: "Shicai put fifteen glasses of wine, countless fruits and dishes, as well as miscellaneous small plays, female singers and dances, and that Xie Chef Niang alone was rewarded with a lot of money." The minister thought in it, the country's income is moderate, and the people are already miserable, and my ministers, leading the money, do not think about relieving the country's worries, but they are extravagant to this extent, and the money for a meal is how many people's family property. In this way, what is the difference with those incompetent people in the Jin Dynasty who died and talked about the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhao Huan stopped, his eyes staring at Qin Hui.

Qin Hui only felt that his neck was drenched in sweat, but he didn't even dare to blink his eyelids, as uncomfortable as he was, how uncomfortable he was.

After half a ring, I heard Zhao Huan sigh: "I didn't expect you to see this, I am really comforted in my heart." ”

Although he praised the other party like this, Zhao Huan knew in his heart that he had not done this kind of thing in front of the leader with a high-sounding and a lot of truths, and it was an unrealistic fantasy to expect every official's conscience to find it.

thought so in his heart, but said in his mouth: "That Wang Kai costs 10,000 yuan for a meal, and he said that there is no place to put chopsticks, I just hope that my Great Song Dynasty officials can be like Qin Qing and you, and care about the people of the family and country." ”

After that, he paused and said angrily: "I have been around all night, the livelihood of the people is still difficult, and the officials are still spending all day and wine, what kind of appearance and system has become of this!" I myself can't bear to work hard for the people, and all the officials are scholars, so why don't I know how to sympathize with the people's suffering! ”

Qin Hui was speechless, and most of the local guards around Zhao Huan were from poor backgrounds, and they all snorted, all of them were extremely angry.

In fact, Zhao Huan himself, at the beginning of his previous life as an official, still had the suffering of the people in mind, and stayed for a long time, picking up and dropping off high-end cars every day, entering and exiting star-rated hotels, and enjoying a luxurious meal of hundreds of thousands of yuan, but when he ate and drank, he didn't think too much. It's just that the level has arrived, and naturally so.

When he became the emperor at this time, and even a thread in the world was his inheritance, he was shocked to realize that he thought he was still a good official, but he didn't expect that the things he did that day were just as hateful and killable in the eyes of the people.

He scolded one time, one was dissatisfied with what he saw today, and the other was regretting what he did back then, and took the opportunity to vent.

Seeing that he was angry, Qin Hui was very frightened in his heart, so he had no choice but to find the beginning of the conversation and said: "Your Majesty does not issue an edict to prohibit officials from gathering for wine and banquets, even if there are rich people in the people, it must be banned." In this way, the state can concentrate its wealth and use it to win in the field. ”

"Such a bad idea, he also came up with it?"

Zhao Huan was surprised in his heart, and turned his head to stare at Qin Hui.

But seeing the other party's eyes flickering, he didn't dare to face himself. He sneered in his heart and said secretly: "You dare to test me, if it is planted in your hands, I will also be in the officialdom for decades." ”

At the moment, he said: "It's not good, the world style only uses persuasion, how can there be compulsion?" If it is forced by decree, it can only be counterproductive. I have internal and external troubles, and only harmony between the top and bottom can achieve twice the result with half the effort. ”

Qin Hui just muttered in his heart, on the one hand, he scolded the officials for being generous and wasteful, and on the other hand, he wanted harmony, but he didn't know what the emperor was thinking and planning.

The two talked and talked about it, and walked all the way, but they also walked through the mansions of many officials. Except for a few, most of them are singing and dancing, and the aroma of wine wafts directly outside the courtyard.

Qin Hui originally thought that the emperor must be more and more annoyed, but when he saw Zhao Huan's face turned around, he still smiled faintly, and said some articles and poems and songs to him, but he was calm and calm, tepid.

He only thought that the emperor didn't know what his intentions were today, and he saw the shadows in the dark night, and there were people running in and out of the ministers' mansions, and some of the entourages behind Zhao Huan reported the situation in the officials' mansions. He knew that this was the pedestrian department acting as a detective minister, and he was even more uncomfortable in his heart.

was distressed, but heard Zhao Huan ask: "Qing is studying in the hall, how is his experience?" ”

Qin Hui perked up and hurriedly replied: "The minister reads the lecture notes day and night, and he doesn't dare to slack off!" ”

Zhao Huan nodded and smiled, and replied, "I know that you can be regarded as the hardest working. ”

He asked again: "Those articles are very rare, I have read them, and they are all very reasonable." You can talk about your experience, and you don't have to hide it. ”

Qin Hui waited for this day for a long time, so he didn't groan, he was immediately energetic, and replied in a deep voice: "With the minister's plan, those things that have been seen and heard in the Western Regions can increase knowledge and broaden their horizons, but they are not urgent, and they will be useful in the future, and it is not worth spending too much energy studying now." ”

"Well, let's talk about it again."

"As for those legal reforms and tax system improvements, it is much better to learn from the ministers than from the ministers, and even from the special financial officials, or even the small officials who are full-time in financial affairs."

"Hmm."

"As for the debate of the hundred schools of thought, the great defense of the nation, and the principle of protecting the country and defending the family, it is best to turn it into a script, with illustrations, and widely engraved, so that the people of the world can know and recognize it, and know the truth of Huayi's great defense and the distinction between Han and Hu."

"Yes, I'll give you permission now."

Qin Hui was encouraged, and became more and more energetic, and said: "As for the reform of the official system, the investigation of responsibility, the resignation of blame, the division of power, and so on, coupled with the reform of the military system, it is the current urgency. If there are capable people and painful reforms, it will only be three years and five years, and the national strength of my Great Song Dynasty will definitely be doubled, and the Jurchen barbarians are nothing! ”

His eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "If the Great Song Forbidden Army can be as good at fighting as the Qin army without caring about life and death, the officials are busy every day and are responsible, the people can live in peace, the merchants can make profits, and the country is strong, then foreign enemies will naturally not be afraid." ”

Zhao Huan listened to him quietly, Fang high-fived and laughed, and said to him: "Qing is really attentive!" I locked up these filthy officials and gave them these painstaking efforts to learn, and I expected a few more to be able to understand them, but I was really disappointed. I talked to Qing tonight, but I was unexpected, and I was very happy. ”

He stroked Qin Hui's arm with great interest, and talked with him for a long time, and at the end, Zhao Huan smiled and said: "What Qin Qing said is that there need to be competent people to promote the new policy. ”

Qin Hui's ears were so warm and heartbeat that he almost jumped up.

But I heard Zhao Huan say again: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to meet Qing alone in the future." ”

In the Song Dynasty system, the emperor summoned the ministers, they could talk alone, and when they saw the prime minister, they must have a historian to record their daily life. What Zhao Huan said meant to worship Qin Hui was extremely obvious.

Qin Hui was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down and said to Zhao Huan: "How dare the minister be so loving to His Majesty!" ”
