"The minister lost his words." Xie Yun looked at Lu Cheng's gloomy face, and recognized his mistake quickly. He almost forgot that Changsheng was the empress, and according to the records left by the ancestors, Taizu and Taizong had to be extremely cautious when they spoke.

The courtiers of the Taizong Dynasty are relatively lucky, after all, there are courtiers of the Taizu Dynasty as examples. After adapting to Taizu, he was not so tormented under Taizong.

Taizu's dynasty was really difficult, Zhou inherited the former Jin, and there were not a few old ministers of the former Jin Dynasty who switched to Taizu.

But from time to time, these former Jin ministers would say some words that made Taizu uncomfortable. Where is the emperor, especially the founding emperor, who is the wronged master?

In the end, it was those former Jin ministers who were "disrespectful" who were uncomfortable.

In the ears of Taizu Lu Yu, some words are "disrespectful", that is, they want to overthrow her rule, such as a certain idiom "Ji Si Chen". ①

What does it mean to be a minister who grinned in the court and said "Ji Si Chen"? Isn't this just saying that she is not in the right position and is not worthy of virtue? Isn't this a metaphor for her reversing yin and yang, leading to the ruin of the country and the family? Isn't this looking forward to her dying early and making way for Lu Lin's idiot? No emperor could bear such an act.

At first, Taizu Lu Yu was quite ruthless, in order to let some officials learn to think twice.

For example, the official who uttered the words "Si Chen" was killed by Lu Yu with his own hands, and he claimed to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven and tried to reverse the imperial power of the Lu family.

Lu Yu didn't even want to hide it. What reason to find, she wants to let these ministers understand that the times have changed, and now it is the Great Zhou of the Lu family, and the empress is in power.

Some books may not be burned, but the mind must be changed.

After a period of adaptation, the ministers of the imperial court have begun to like to think twice before speaking, so as not to touch the empress's sensitive points. For example, three from four virtues is dross, for example, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, this is really unspeakable.

No matter what the ministers think in their hearts, whether they want to or not, at least they have to do superficial work, what they say is good, and the most important thing is to satisfy Lu Yu.

Sometimes talking too much will naturally have a suggestive effect on the heart.

The central officials influence the local officials, the officials affect the scholars, and the agriculture and industry and commerce affect the upward and downward effects. That's where the empress comes in. From generation to generation, a new habit is shaped.

It's a pity that Emperor Ji Lu Zhang of Jin fell from his horse and died, disrupting Lu Yu's original plan for three generations, and Taizong originally planned to inherit from the clan for the plan of A-Niang (Taizu Lu Yu), but Emperor Jin Ji Lu Zhang's generation had no female royal family members next to him except for Emperor Jin, not even baby girls, which was really fateful.

Although Lu Yu's goal was not achieved, the impact she left behind was still far-reaching.

For example, at this time, Lu Cheng was not the only one who felt that Xie Yun's words were particularly harsh and ugly.

Hui Emperor Ji Lu Xun (Lu Cheng's aunt), the real power emperor who easily did not speak, spoke: "What Xie Xiang said just now is not only dissatisfied, but even I don't like to hear it. Xie Xiang, you are indeed speechless. Although Ah Jun married the Marquis of Pingyang, her surname is still Lu, and her body is full of the blood of my Lu royal family. If Ah Jun's life is not going well and is not satisfactory, then she can return to the Emperor's Mansion at any time. Pingyang Hou, you said from time to time? ”

Pingyang Hou was also surprised by Lord Taishui (mother-in-law) like this. He, Lord Taishui, is a character who will never be provoked. The words are all lies, and the mother-in-law who said that she looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is?

Lord Taishui has never given him a good face from beginning to end, and every time he sees Lord Taishui alone, he has to be nervous for a long time.

Pingyang Hou was named by Tai Shui, of course he couldn't help but give Tai Shui face: "What Emperor Ji said is extremely true. Something would never dare to snub Ah Jun in the slightest. If Ah Jun is not satisfactory and leaves angrily, it is all a fault, a certain missed A Jun, and a certain fate with A Jun is too shallow. ”

Pingyang Hou's posture is very low, Lord Taishui, look at me, son-in-law, I can be interesting?

Fu Rong, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, who had written down his merits not long ago, also said: "Xie Xiang's words just now are not pleasant to hear. ”

Xie Yun saw that the successive speeches were like stabbing a hornet's nest, and he knew that he was indeed very wrong, and his speech was really inappropriate, and he was dizzy.

"Yun made a compensatory loss to Emperor Ji, and also made a compensatory to Fu Shaoqing and other people who felt uncomfortable. It was Yun who was furious, unscrupulous, and gibberish. Xie Yun bowed and bowed in the direction of Emperor Hui.

Hui Diji didn't speak, and Fu Rong didn't speak again after saying that.

A group of officials in the court looked at Xie Yun, who had almost reached the peak of official life, Xie Zaizhi had to apologize in a good voice, and they had not realized more clearly than at this moment that it was Changsheng who was in power, and the habit of Taizu Taizong to think twice before saying something had to be picked up and not lost.

Many officials began to recall whether they had spoken any inappropriate language.

If Taizu is accustomed to solving some people who don't listen to words on the spot, then Taizong is smiling and keeping black accounts, will Changsheng also have black accounts?

Lv Cheng: What is a black account? I don't have that kind of thing, I just have a small book, don't panic!

"If Xie Xiang can't speak, then he will talk less in the future, what is 'the water spilled by the married daughter' now, will he say 'Ji Si Chen' in the future?" Lu Cheng was very dissatisfied with Xie Yun's fluttering gaffe and weightless apology.

Where will Li Yu and Zhu Hong say good things to Xie Yun, at such a time, of course, they are watching a good show.

At the same time, Li Yu and Zhu Hong also deeply remembered the depth charges that Comrade Xie Yun had made for them.

These words are nothing to say in front of Zhang He and Jing Yao, but if you say them in front of Changsheng, it will explode.

This "Chicken Si Chen" has another meaning in the Great Zhou Dynasty, which is to say that the courtiers are not going well, and they are trying to get on the next level. In the face of such a courtier, whether it is an ulterior motive, or it is said directly without a brain. Taizu gave them the same treatment, that is, to open up the territory and serve.

What is the saint saying at this time, it is impossible to play casually, this must be extremely dissatisfied with Xie Yun, and he is warning Xie Yun not to be a former Jin minister, she will sit on the throne for a day, so don't say anything that makes her unhappy.

Xie Yun read poetry and books, and of course he can understand the codex left by his ancestors.

It is also appropriate to give birth to his face, and this time it is indeed his gaffe.

Xie Yun shook his head and said, "The minister doesn't dare." The ministers do not choose their words, and they hope that the saint will condemn their sins. ”

"What is Xie Qing's crime? It's just a sentence that makes me disobedient, that's all. If I condemn Xie Qing, wouldn't I be engaging in a literary prison? Xie Qing is harmful? Lu Cheng shook his head, as if he really didn't agree.

After the minister calmed down, he felt deeply guilty for the minister's inappropriate remarks. It is the minister's words that are inappropriate, the minister is deeply guilty, and the minister asks the saint to surrender to the minister, so as to alleviate the minister's guilt. Xie Xiangchang couldn't afford it, as if Lu Cheng didn't agree, he wouldn't get up.

Lu Cheng said with a touched face: "Good, Xie Qing is really a person of noble character, and he has high requirements for himself. Since Xie Qing is so sincere, I have no choice but to be an adult and fulfill Qing's wishes. ”

Lu Cheng asked: "Qing frankly said that he can be lenient, in this way, I will punish Qing for writing 10,000 words for the suffering of women in the former Jin Dynasty, how about the failure of women's education in the former Jin Dynasty?" ”

"The ministers are punished, thank the saint for forgiveness." Xie Yun received the punishment before slowly straightening up.

Just when the ministers of the court thought that this little episode had passed, Lu Cheng spoke again: "Xie Qing has a noble character, and he feels that his words are inappropriate, and he begs me to punish him, which is really a good minister." Zhongqing's position is not as good as Xie Qing, and his moral character is not as good as Xie Qing, how can he not learn from Xie Qing? ”

When the ministers of the court heard this, they hurriedly said in unison: "Xie Xiang is of noble character, and the ministers are beyond their reach, so they should learn from Xie Qing." ”

"The saint praises falsely, and the ministers dare not be ashamed." Then Xie Yun also turned around and saluted back to the ministers, "Your colleagues raise love, Yun is ashamed to accept it." ”

Lu Cheng directly ignored Xie Yun, and then said excitedly: "Good! Great goodness! I didn't expect Zhu Qing to be such an open-minded learner. Zhu Qing actually has this intention? Zhu Qing is willing to accompany Xie Qing to write a 10,000-character testimonial, so it is not easy for me to stop it, so I will follow the will of Qing and others. ”

The ministers of the imperial court were dumbfounded, could they still play like this?

Yes, if you can stand here, you must be able to write a splendid article, but this article is also about the pleasure of writing, isn't it? What is this?

Lv Cheng: This is the material composition of later generations, and Wangqing and others will experience it well and answer it well.

As soon as Lu Cheng's words landed, the minister of the First Central Committee was silent for three or two seconds, and this matter was simply established.

Ministers: Today is another day of homework, what a fulfillment!

Li Yu and Zhu Hong looked at each other for a while, and understood that the two of them had the same thing as the heroes. The two of them are in the same position as Xie Yun, so don't you need to write these 10,000 words?

For these two fish that slipped through the net, Lu Cheng just gave the two of them a meaningful look.

Li Yu and Zhu Hong made a decision instantly after receiving Lu Cheng's eyes, let's write.

One article is 10,000 words, the theme is clear, not difficult, not difficult at all! It's really not that hard!

Lu Cheng added another sentence: "The Qingjia must write well, and don't write an unsober article in an unsober state." I can read the mountains of concerts, and I can see the feelings of the Qing family in just 10,000 words. The people must think twice before mentioning the pen, and put down the pen after thinking twice, because ......"

A handful of ministers who wanted to ask for help from their staff knew they couldn't be lazy. The saint went through it one by one, and when they were looking for a ghostwriter, they were looking for death, that is, they didn't take the saint in their eyes.

The already disappointed handful of people are about to hit harder.

Lu Cheng continued: "Because of the articles of the Zhongqing family, not only I will read them, but also the students of the world and the people of the world will also see them. The article of Zhongqingjia will become a thickened special issue of the Great Zhou People's Daily, and it will be transmitted to the counties and towns of all countries at the fastest speed, so that every citizen of the Great Zhou family must have the opportunity to read the articles of the Zhongqingjia. ”

"Holy Lord, the minister's writing is not good, and he really can't get into the hall of elegance, so he ......"

Lu Cheng continued: "So how did Qing get admitted to the Jinshi?" It has only been a few months since the imperial examination fraud case, and the doctors who were arrested are also old people in the imperial court, and it seems that those few are by no means the first time to commit crimes, so how many people in the past imperial examinations are fishing in troubled waters? But is it? ”

The person who was asked was stunned, can this be answered? Of course, you can't answer yes, and those who answer yes are all stupid people with their heads in water.

But according to Lu Cheng's logic, since he didn't come in by fishing in troubled waters, how could his writing be poor, and then according to Lu Cheng's logical reasoning, that is, he excused himself so much and didn't want to be on the Da Zhou Minbao because he was afraid of exposing the secret that he was actually a Jinshi fishing in troubled waters.

What else can I do next?

Answer: Cold salad, cold salad is the best to eat, but it is a little cold after eating.

The minister squeezed out a smile and said, "Of course the minister is not, it's just that there is Xie Xiangzhuan who is beautiful in the front, and the minister is afraid that the comparison will be miserable." ”

Lu Cheng's questioning suddenly stopped a group of officials who wanted to echo the "minister".

Some officials are sincere, while others are unwilling to be allowed to become cheaters in the imperial examinations. If this is beaten into the ranks of those who cheat in the imperial examination, he will not have to mix with the court. And according to the way the saint dealt with it, maybe his people won't have to mix with the court in the future.

"So good. Liu Qing can continue. Lu Cheng was satisfied with the result he wanted.

A certain Cui Jian, who was almost forgotten and was overjoyed, was stunned, wasn't he? Holy Lord, how do you remember me?

"No." Liu Jingxin responded.

After a small episode just now, Liu Jingxin's impression of Lu Cheng has suddenly risen a lot, so maybe he can call some little sisters back. This empress is indeed comfortable.

Liu Jingxin said a big disrespectful word, that is, Zhang He compared with Changshengyi, it was so seconds that there was no scum left.

"Alas, I really regret that I was born more than ten years early, and I can't live in the prime of life." Liu Jingxin shouted frantically in his heart.

Among the courtiers, the female official who did Lu Cheng's homework the most was the highest.

They don't even see this homework as punishment, that's what they do.

Now they have all kinds of ideas in their minds, and they can't wait to write a beautiful essay immediately. It's just 10,000 words, a small meaning. Ten thousand words can't stop their interest.

"Cui Shilang said that the person mentioned in my friend's letter is fake, so Cui Shilang confronted him in court?" Liu Jingxin asked, he was not affected by the episode just now, and the connection was extremely smooth.

Cui Jian, he was affected by the episode, and he couldn't come back to his senses immediately.

And after Cui Jian came back to his senses, he didn't want to answer Liu Jingxin's question, and he didn't want to confront him in court, he was weak-hearted, he felt that those two people were his children.

The two bear children have finished pit him.

When the two bear children come back from their study tour, he must reward them two sisters and brothers, and a copy of Cui's bamboo board fried meat.

Cui Jian said: "My sons are all studying tours, how can they confront each other? ”
