Those in power do not understand political affairs, so they naturally deserve to be deceived.

If she could know what the ministries, divisions, and people were under their jurisdiction, and what Xiang Sun could do, how could she still fall into such a field?

Thinking of this, Empress Dowager Yang instructed Cui Yongchen: "How many ministries and divisions does the CCP have, like Si Nongsi, and geometry?" Tell someone to sort out all the functions of each place, and show them to me in detail. ”

She just gave the order here, and she had not yet received the excerpt sent back by the next person, and she was already excited, standing in place at this time, and her mind was actually constructing a scene in which she was familiar with all things in the future, and in a few words, she once again wanted to blame each other and rob the courtiers on the Wende Hall to be speechless, and there was inevitably a sense of pride and satisfaction in her heart, and the feeling was that she couldn't press it hard.

After delaying here for a long time, seeing that the hour had already passed, there were still people waiting for His Majesty's speech and performance in the vertical arch hall, although she was very reluctant, Empress Dowager Yang still reluctantly retreated.

Walking outside the hall, Cui Yongchen, who had been following behind, suddenly stepped forward and said: "Queen Mother, if you want to know about Your Majesty's study, you might as well watch it in the Chongzheng Palace, and transcribe what several gentlemen said one by one, so that you can read it in the future." ”

According to the previous practice, although the Heavenly Family delineated the scope of books, there were not many restrictions on the content of what they said and the way they taught, and only asked people to write a rough outline of what was taught in the classroom and keep it for archiving.

This kind of archive is written that Mr. XX said "Spring and Autumn" today, and Mr. XX talked about a certain article of "Analects" yesterday, but what kind of truth is discussed will not be very detailed. As for Empress Dowager Yang, she is busy with government affairs and will only care about her son's homework progress and intelligence, as for what she has learned, she really has no time to study it in detail.

But at this time, at that time.

When others teach the little emperor, they are teaching the orthodox way of studying, scripture and righteousness, and historiography, but this Gu Yanzhang teaches the little emperor, and all he teaches is from the truth, and he takes him hand in hand to deal with government affairs from the subtleties.

It is true that his official character is not too high, not as far-sighted as Fan Yaochen and Huang Zhaoliang, and not as good as the Confucians who have been immersed in scriptures and righteousness for many years, but in the word "practical", there is really no one to compare.

If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't get out, Empress Dowager Yang even wanted to follow her son to attend classes every day, which was much cheaper than groping in private.

Cui Yongchen's suggestion really touched her heart.

***

Back in the vertical arch hall, Empress Dowager Yang was busy for a long time, and in the evening, she did not wait for the introduction of the functions and jurisdiction of various ministries and departments presented by the next head, but waited for the little emperor Zhao Fang.

Listening to her son's words, she was a little surprised and asked, "Your Majesty wants a piece of land?" ”

Zhao Fang nodded and said, "Exactly, if Erchen wants to come out with a piece of land behind the Qinghua Palace, it doesn't need to be very big, just one zhang is enough to plant grains." ”

Although Empress Dowager Yang didn't know why her son suddenly had such an idea, she thought that most of it was inseparable from Gu Qing's teaching during the day, so she said: "Originally, there was a piece of land behind the Yuchen Palace, which was left ......by Emperor Zhenzong."

Zhao Fang said quite embarrassedly: "Yuchen Hall is a little far away, and if Erchen wants to learn from folk farmers to farm, it is inevitable that he will have to water and fertilize, weed and plant seedlings, and run around. ”

Empress Dowager Yang said with a smile: "There are old people in the palace who are in charge of this matter, if you explain it and do it as before, where will the cultivation be delayed." ”

It is not uncommon for the Son of Heaven of the Great Jin Dynasty to farm in the palace, in fact, it is Zhao Rui who has always been in poor health, and he also cultivated in the fields behind the wheat palace when he was young, in order to show the heavenly family to farm and know the difficulty of crops.

However, he has his own inner attendant and supervisor, with two or three hundred military academy soldiers to pick up manure and weed, and loosen the soil under the seedlings, as the Son of Heaven, most of them just take a look at it from time to time, and at this time seeing that her son has this idea, Empress Dowager Yang subconsciously wants to follow the example of the emperor.

However, to her surprise, Zhao Fang on the other side hesitated, but said again: "Queen Mother, Erchen wants to do it himself, and don't ask others to help." ”

He said: "Today, Mr. Gu asked his son in class how many kinds of grains he knew, and his son answered 'rice, beam, soybean, wheat, millet, and millet' according to what he knew, but when he saw the real thing, six things were placed in front of him, but he only knew two kinds. ”

***

It's early summer in the blink of an eye.

In this daily court, Empress Dowager Yang does not need to sit in the palace, but her heart is full of court and state affairs, sleep has always been bad, wake up early, and wait until after freshening up, is about to go to the vertical arch hall to listen to the government, but one foot stepped out of the palace door, suddenly remembered something, turned his head to Cui Yongchen on the side and said: "I see that Your Majesty has been worried recently, but what is wrong?" ”

Cui Yongchen said: "Your Majesty's work and rest day and night are according to the past, and I have never seen any difference...... he hesitated, and then said, "If there is anything, I am afraid that it is the farmland behind the Qinghua Palace......"

Empress Dowager Yang thought about this matter after a while.

Last year, the son came to ask for a piece of land at the back of the Tsinghua Palace, saying that he would personally cultivate and plant grains.

At a young age, she was able to have the heart to understand the people's feelings and sufferings, and the Empress Dowager Yang was naturally very pleased, so she encouraged her at that time, and also sent more than ten people from the inner servants to help.

Now that Cui Yongchen mentioned it, she was a little surprised, and said, "That field is still planting?" ”

At this time, it was still early, and Empress Dowager Yang turned around and went to the queen of the Qinghua Palace.

The "special field" opened up for the little emperor is between the flowers and trees, the length and width are two zhang, and from a distance, I see that the field is crooked and falling, and there are many green seedlings growing sparsely.

Although Empress Dowager Yang has never planted a field, she has also presided over the spring silkworm ceremony, and she has also gone to Yujin Garden to observe wheat, rice, and crops, and knows that normal fields should not be like this.

As soon as she got closer, she immediately recognized that something was wrong.

There is only a little water left in the corners of the rice field, and the rest of the place is no different from the dry land, and it stands to reason that the rice at this time should have been filled, but the rice ears in this field are mostly deflated, and you don't even need to reach out to pinch it, and you know that there will not be much rice.

Her face was a little embarrassed, and she asked the attendant who hurried over to reply, "How do you do this?" ”

The leading chamberlain was covered with sweat, and hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty has specially explained that the ministers can only give advice on the big and small matters in the field, and they are not allowed to interfere at all......" When he said this, he didn't know what he saw, but he was relieved, and saluted not far away, "Your Majesty!" ”
