Just now, when he was about to arrive at the Xuanting Palace, Jiang Beiran thought that since he could not abide by the troublesome rules when eating, why should the court follow the rules.

He still hasn't even distinguished the rank of officials, and it's really boring to go up, and these ministers have been immersed in officialdom for many years, and there are definitely a lot of old foxes, if you get along with them according to the rules, you will inevitably be led by their noses.

Therefore, Jiang Beiran simply did not play cards according to the routine, gave the ministers a surprise, and by the way, also tested the background color of these ministers.

Seeing Jiang Beiran wearing the emperor's robe suddenly appear, the souls of all the ministers were frightened, and they fell to the ground one after another, and an old minister who took the lead shouted: "The ministers deserve death!" ”

The rest of the ministers immediately followed suit and shouted, "The ministers deserve death!" ”

Nearly 100 ministers knelt outside the palace, and the scene was also quite spectacular, but although it was outside the palace, it was still in the imperial city, so there would be no people passing by to see it.

Biting the jujube sugar cake in his hand, Jiang Beiran smiled and said: "Everyone, Aiqing, let's get even, I am very relieved to see that Aiqing is so indignant that I can't go to court." ”

As soon as these words came out, the pants of the young ministers who said that they were going to be bastards just now were almost wet, and they couldn't stand up at all.

"Flat, I don't need to say it a third time, do you?"

Although Jiang Beiran was still chewing the jujube candy cake in his mouth when he spoke, the sense of majesty still made the ministers hurriedly stand up, and even those who were a little wet in their lower bodies didn't dare to kneel anymore, and struggled to get up and salute, but their legs trembled a little.

With a smile, Jiang Beiran threw the remaining small piece of jujube sugar cake into his mouth, patted the crumbs on his hands, and said, "It's better to be comfortable outside, sitting in that Xuan Listening Palace, I can't even speak." ”

Although the ministers don't like such an emperor who doesn't pay attention to etiquette in their hearts, there are still three fires for new officials to take office, not to mention the new emperor, and they are just the ministers who are ministers.

"Don't hide it from you Aiqing, I have never been in contact with this court before, and I believe that you Aiqing have already commented on this in private."

"Don't dare!" After the ministers finished speaking, they knelt on the ground again.

"All of you are flat, the reason why I want to talk to you Aiqing outside this court is that I hope that Aiqing will not be too restrained, and chat with me openly and honestly, so that I can understand what Aiqing is thinking."

After all the ministers stood up again, Jiang Beiran walked up to an old minister in a purple robe and asked, "Aiqing, if I remember correctly, you were the first to present the table to me yesterday, right?" ”

The old minister immediately bowed down and said, "Back to Your Majesty, it is Weichen." ”

"Where does Aiqing live?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Weichen Shi Xing'an is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry."

"What's in charge?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is responsible for helping Your Majesty control the country's water conservancy, civil engineering, transportation, and industrial management."

"What Aiqing said about Dongzhou County yesterday, has it been prepared?"

Shi Xing'an bowed and said: "Returning to Your Majesty, it has been prepared and is waiting to be handed over to Zhongxingtai." ”

"Don't bother, just give it to me."

Shi Xing'an did not hesitate, and directly took out a piece of folding from his arms and offered it with both hands.

After receiving the fold presented by Shi Xingan's hands, Jiang Beiran directly opened it and looked at it.

'What the hell is written......

This twist and turn seems to be very long, but it is full of useless flowery rhetoric, and the object of praise of these rhetoric is the emperor.

But after frowning, Jiang Beiran understood why he wrote it like this, the meaning is very simple, that is, these natural and man-made disasters have nothing to do with Your Majesty, and they are all the fault of Weichen's lack of governance.

It can be said that it is very officialdom.

Knowing the purpose of the opening, Jiang Beiran patiently continued to look down.

'Good fellows...... Big project, south-to-north water diversion, this is going to be? ’

Although this piece of music is complicated to write, Jiang Beiran still clearly understands his intentions, and I have to say that this minister can still think very much, to say that in Jiang Beiran's impression, the "most prestigious" south-to-north water diversion in ancient times should be the opening of the canal by Emperor Yang of Sui.

But after that wave, the Sui Dynasty was directly injured and was destroyed by Li Tang.

Closing the fold again, Jiang Beiran looked at Shi Xing'an and said, "This is Aiqing's method of controlling drought?" ”

"Exactly." Shi Xing'an bowed down and said, "This method is a minister's hard thinking and meditation, combined with ......"

"Nonsense!" Jiang Beiran snorted.

Seeing that the emperor was angry, Shi Xingan hurriedly knelt on the ground, and the momentum that suddenly erupted from Jiang Beiran's body also made the rest of the ministers kneel down together, and at the same time slandered in their hearts.

"It's strange and strange, this Shi Shangshu obviously knows the emperor's heart best, how could he make the emperor so angry this time?"

"What did this Shi Shangshu show to make the emperor so angry?"

"It's over, this emperor seems to be kind and ordinary on the surface, but how can such an aura be issued by ordinary people, and now I'm afraid we will have to suffer together."

……

Throwing the fold directly on Shi Xing'an's black gauze hat, Jiang Beiran shouted: "Raise your head." ”

Shi Xing'an immediately raised his head after hearing this, but there was no fear on his face.

"Are you testing me?" Jiang Beiran asked expressionlessly.

"Wechen doesn't dare."

"Don't dare? I see that you are very daring, do you know how much manpower and material resources will be consumed for such a solution? ”

Shi Xing'an replied, "Weichen knows, but if you can invite a cultivator to help dig it, this method will ......."

"Oh~" Jiang Beiran dragged out a long note after listening, "What a Shi Xing'an, you play this one, if you want to try it, you can understand the drought and water conservancy, and second, if you want to try to help the people, if you can mobilize cultivators to help the people, yes or no?" ”

Hearing Jiang Beiran directly poke the matter, Shi Xing'an's face was not only still fearless, but a pair of originally godless eyes suddenly burst into fine light.

"My Emperor Shengming! Weichen deserves to die for his crimes, and beg His Majesty to punish him. ”

Jiang Beiran laughed after hearing this, "Get up." ”

"I beg Your Majesty to punish you!" Shi Xing'an still knelt on the ground and shouted.

"It's my business to punish or not, and now I want you to get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Waiting for Shi Xing'an to stand up again, Jiang Beiran was just about to squat down to pick up the fold, and the two eunuchs behind him hurriedly rushed up with a "vicious dog pounce", and the eunuch who picked up the fold patted the dust on it, knelt and handed it to Jiang Beiran and said, "Your Majesty, please." ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Jiang Beiran took the concerto.

"Shi Aiqing is so bold, since you are so bold, do you dare to tell me what is the purpose of presenting this recital?"

Without any hesitation, Shi Xing'an replied directly: "As the emperor just said. ”

"What if I agree?"

"Then the emperor is either overjoyed, or mediocre, and my kingdom is ruined."

"How daring! I hope that your ability can be as great as your guts, and Shi Xing'an obeys. ”

"Wechen is here."

"I order you to redraft a new memo tomorrow and submit it, if you can solve the drought in Dongzhou County, I will not blame the past, if not! and I will cure you of the sin of deceit! ”

"Thanksgiving!"

Nodding, Jiang Beiran looked at the other ministers who were still kneeling and shouted, "You guys are kneeling and doing nothing, flat down." ”

After all the ministers stood up, Jiang Beiran spoke: "Do you still want to test me like Shi Aiqing?" ”

Silent......

Faced with Jiang Beiran's question, the ministers below didn't even dare to swallow their saliva, and at the same time sighed in their hearts that Shi Shangshu was really so different.

For a person like Shi Xing'an who dares to commit a crime, if he has real skills, Jiang Beiran likes it very much, but unfortunately, there seems to be such a person in the Manchu Dynasty.

Sighing in disappointment, Jiang Beiran walked up to a young official and asked, "Where is Aiqing's official residence?" ”

The young official trembled with fright, there was no way, the emperor in front of him was really too incomprehensible for him, and he suddenly came to him at this moment, which made him feel a strong sense of foreboding.

But the premonition was a premonition, and the young official immediately replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the ancestor of the Weichen Ancestor Yongsi is a guest Cao." ”

"What's in charge?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Weichen is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, and is responsible for the sacrifice."

After looking at Zu Yongsi, Jiang Beiran asked: "Just now I heard you say that if I am free, you will be free with you, I don't know how Zu Aiqing is free on weekdays." ”

Zu Yongsi was paralyzed in an instant when he heard that his legs, which were already a little soft, and he directly fell to the ground and shouted: "Weichen should die, Weichen should die, please punish Your Majesty." ”

"I ask you, have you ever presided over a sacrifice?"

"Wechen has presided over it, and the first agricultural sacrifice at the beginning of spring is operated by Wechen, and the queen's first silkworm sacrifice is also operated by Wechen."

"What do you need to do for this ancestral festival?"

"Need ...... Need to purchase ......"

Zu Yongsi was stunned, he was just recommended to be an errand, and the people under him would help him do it, he just went up and took a situation, where did he know what to do.

"Wechen was nervous for a while, and I couldn't remember it, Wechen ......"

"Can't remember, do you? Okay, no problem, I'll give you time to think slowly, come on! ”

"The minions are here." The eunuch Wang Shougui stepped forward and responded.

"Fifty rods, right next to me." After speaking, Jiang Beiran looked at Nazu Yongsi again and said, "When do you remember, when will I let them stop." ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" Zu Yongsi kowtowed vigorously after listening.

But Jiang Beiran ignored him completely and walked to the next minister.

……

"Ahh "Ahh "Ahh

"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! ”

"Your Majesty! After the minister returns, he must concentrate on studying, and dare not ...... again Yes!! ”

Listening to the screams next to him, most of the hundred officials standing in the courtyard were sweating like rain, and the officials who saw Jiang Beiran walking towards him were even more mournful, and their legs trembled in fright.

"Drag it off!"

After dragging a young official away, Jiang Beiran sighed deeply, although yesterday he felt that these young officials were a symbol of corruption in the imperial court, but because Yin Jianghong said that Deng Bo was a talent, he had a bit of luck.

Now when I ask a little, I know that these young officials are all straw bales, and they can't stand on top of the court even if they don't know anything.

"Your Majesty, Zuke Cao fainted." Wang Shougui, who supervised the execution, ran to Jiang Beiran and reported.

"Dead?"

"There's still a breath of air."

"Then wake up, and keep fighting!"

As soon as these words came out, Wang Shougui and the rest of the ministers trembled at the same time.

"Yes." Wang Shougui took the order and left.

With the screams one after another, Jiang Beiran continued his first "early dynasty".

It wasn't until near noon that Jiang Beiran glanced at the few young officials who were dying on the bench next to him, as well as the bloody board and said.

"Stop."

Jiang Beiran's voice was very loud, and all the executioners immediately stopped when they heard it.

Glancing at the remaining officials who hadn't asked yet, Jiang Beiran walked back to the hundred officials and said: "I'll stop here today, I don't want to see people who don't learn and don't know how to do it in the court in the future, I hope you Aiqing can remember this." ”

After speaking, he looked at the eunuch behind him and said, "Go back to the palace." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he immediately shouted in a sharp voice: "Get up and go back to the palace!" ”

When Jiang Beiran was far away, many officials finally couldn't hold on and collapsed on the ground in fright.

The officials who were not frightened and collapsed on the ground were beaming with joy on their faces, their eyes shining with essence, and for the first time they felt that the screams were so pleasant.

They looked at each other for a while, and the officials didn't say anything this time.

Because they know that they have ushered in an emperor with a capricious temper, it is difficult for such an emperor to find out his temper even if they get along for a long time, maybe one second they are still saying that Aiqing understands me, and the next second they will be directly put on death row.

For such an emperor, the best way to deal with it is to say less and do more, and never use words to get close.

On the way back to the palace, Mu Yao, who followed behind Jiang Beiran as a female official, was full of energy, and looked at Jiang Beiran's eyes with sparkling eyes.

Growing up, what she hated most was the corrupt court and inactive officials, who had brought too much pain to the country.

Now seeing Jiang Beiran arresting and beating the princes one by one, every scream made her feel extremely relieved, and there was an indescribable sense of happiness in her heart.

Although she didn't know what Jiang Beiran would eventually govern the country, she knew that he must want to be a good emperor.

Returning to the Meditation Hall, Jiang Beiran turned his head to look at Mu Yao and asked, "You see that I have been all the way, is there something wrong?" ”

"Who! Who looks at you! Mu Yao turned her head sharply.

"Oh, forget it if you don't see it." After Jiang Beiran finished speaking, he sat on the dragon chair, picked up the "Classics" on the table that he hadn't finished reading yesterday and looked at it.

Cautiously glancing at Jiang Beiran again, Mu Yao quietly grimaced.

I didn't have a good impression of him, I just had a good time watching those officials being beaten, huh! ’

"Your Majesty."

When Mu Yao also went to look for a book to read, Wang Shougui came to Jiang Beiran's desk and knelt down and shouted.

"What?"

"It's time for lunch."

"I'm not hungry yet."

Wang Shougui just wanted to persuade him, but he remembered the emperor's words in the morning, "My words are the rules", and the beaten and fleshy princes, so he immediately shut up.

When Wang Shougui was about to retreat, Jiang Beiran suddenly shouted: "Wang Shougui." ”

"The minions are here." Wang Shougui hurriedly responded.

"The last emperor, did he have a master?"

"Yes, yes." Wang Shougui nodded.

"Go and call for me."

"Yes."
