Huo Yixiao didn't answer immediately.

He stood there, respectful, with his eyes down, looking like he was seriously thinking.

Gonggong Wu figured out the emperor's thoughts.

Of course, there is nothing to say, and the lessons that were to be exported before were all blocked by the fourth prince's sincere confession of mistakes, and the emperor had a good face, so he couldn't come down for a while, so he simply asked in passing.

mentioned the proposal in the early dynasty, in fact, the emperor was cold and only thought about it.

Gonggong Wu quietly glanced at Huo Yixiao again.

The emperor asked in passing, and put it in the past, if the fourth prince refused to elaborate and generally push it clean, then the emperor would not ask again, and let him go.

As soon as the people left, the Duke of Wu saw a flash of disappointment in the emperor's eyes.

This disappointment is not because the fourth prince is not concerned about the government, but more because there is nothing to say between father and son.

The fourth prince didn't want to talk to the emperor.

Asking about government affairs and family affairs is a refusal.

If you don't refuse, nine times out of ten, you will take out a knife and pierce your heart.

The knife is fierce, the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out.

But a few years ago, the fourth prince accompanied His Royal Highness to come over and seriously talked about the expenses of Taichang Temple, which made the emperor quite happy in private.

Today......

The fourth prince looked like he wanted to answer seriously.

Then, the emperor should also listen carefully.

As long as the fourth son doesn't talk about it halfway, he turns back to the front road......

Gonggong Wu hurriedly sent a hot tea to the fourth son.

Huo Yixiao sat down.

I have to say that this trick learned from the little fox is really easy to play cards without common sense.

When he first got up, how could he be so choked by Wen Yan that he couldn't speak, and the emperor was just as choked just now.

I was so choked that I couldn't do anything about it.

There is no boasting, no training, and I hold back.

Huo Yixiao and Wu Gong thanked him fairly.

Gonggong Wu smiled and said in a low voice: "This tea tastes good, and the fourth son has many products." ”

In the smile, the meaning is accurate.

Sit a little longer, talk well, and refresh yourself with hot tea, and stop yawning.

Huo Yixiao took the tea and took a sip? After praising the good drink, he looked up at the emperor.

He did it on purpose.

deliberately yawned and was left behind, deliberately honest, so that the emperor consciously changed the topic.

Not bad? The emperor "went to the road"? Is this one the one that turned? Otherwise, he'll have to talk about it again.

Didn't answer immediately, just couldn't appear confident.

"My opinion," Huo Yixiao said? "You know that? Warm feasts and cold, eating recipes to recuperate, and burning charcoal pots day and night? What if you don't have anything to keep warm? She couldn't move.

Can she have this way to keep warm? But those poor candidates? There really is no way.

It's a matter of silver.

I heard? Going to Beijing from out of town? There are poor families, and three or five people are crowded in the City God Temple, Guandi Temple, etc.

In such a situation, it is not easy to re-enter the examination room and perform at a high level.

The official who proposed it probably also came from a poor background? It's very relatable. ”

The emperor leaned on the back of his chair.

Originally opened from the warm banquet? The emperor frowned? But didn't interrupt Huo Yixiao's words? Later, this section was decent.

Talking about what everyone knows, just like the students who respond to Mr.'s questions? No mistakes, nothing new.

Something personal is missing.

His sons seldom expressed their personal thoughts before him, and when they did, they were cautious and tactful.

Especially in government affairs, the answer has always been rigid and regular.

Just this paragraph, from Zhu Mao and them, the emperor will not be dissatisfied, he is used to their prudence.

But this shouldn't be Huo Yixiao's answer.

Huo Yixiao is in the imperial study, and he has always been very good at expressing his thoughts.

straightforward and bold, it doesn't matter if those things are said, whether he has a heart attack or not.

"Anything else?" The emperor asked.

He wanted to hear something different, to listen to something that only "Huo Yixiao" would say.

"Your Majesty," Huo Yixiao laughed briefly, "I just said it, it's a matter of silver." ”

Involuntarily, the emperor sat up straight.

Huo Yixiao's careless attitude was revealed again, but the emperor did not have any displeasure, on the contrary, his heart jumped heavily.

Here it comes.

The emperor thought that a different speech was about to begin.

In the bottom of my heart, there was a hint of excitement, the fingers on the armrests used some strength, and the emperor asked, "What do you say?" ”

Huo Yixiao said: "Everyone knows that it is not easy for candidates, no matter what their background, studying is ascetic.

Among them, the most bitter are naturally the students who are from poor families and are supported by the whole family and even the whole village.

Before the Spring Festival, the difficulties of students going to Beijing existed every time, but no one had specifically raised them before.

This time, it was mentioned at the court meeting, in front of the civil and military officials, so many people from the main hall to the square Tile, then, now after the next dynasty, this proposal has probably been rumored in Beijing.

It's not something that can't be said, it's normal to talk casually or intentionally spread it.

Candidates, as well as the common people, will wait to see what the imperial court will do in the future, whether the imperial court will solve such real difficulties for them.

Even if it is not good to eat and drink, it is better to have an expression, otherwise, it will freeze the candidate's body and the hearts of the people.

After all, the people who can resonate with it the most are the people who make a living in Beijing.

'Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat', I think you have heard a lot, and it is boring to say.

I still have the same view as before, that is, it is a matter of silver.

Whether you really feel sorry for the candidates, or you have been forced to do so, if you want the Ministry of Rites to make arrangements for the regulations, it will always cost money.

Settling in a dwelling, buying winter clothes, preparing a charcoal fire, or making up for food, or how much you do, depends on how much money you are willing to spend.

The money is out, the matter is done, and you can still get two good words.

Of course, you can not pay any money, and let the people scold after dinner.

You can't hear them scolding anyway.

At most, the imperial historians want to talk about things, and they are scolded, so you don't have to look at it. ”

The emperor bent his lips and laughed.

This is what Huo Yixiao would say, he was not so cautious, and he didn't listen much, but he laughed.

Analyzing the situation, it has nothing to do with Huo Yixiao himself, and the words he said are not good, but they are not knives.

Others will focus on how hard and difficult the candidates are, or how this matter needs to be handled and how the various yamen should be promoted, but Huo Yixiao is directly to the point.

How much money is the court willing to pay.

Even, there is another meaning in Huo Yixiao's words.

"Casual discussion?" The emperor looked at Huo Yixiao deeply, smiled and asked, "Have you the intention to spread?" ”

Huo Yixiao also smiled, laughing, and yawned for a while, looking sleepy.

The emperor didn't say anything about him this time.

Huo Yixiao drank tea and said, "I don't say whether the one who proposed it today is or not, but there is never a shortage of people in the officialdom who sell their reputations." Settling down poor candidates is actually a good thing, promoting good things, beneficial to the people, and beneficial to yourself, why not do it? ”
