Carefully calculated, since entering Beijing, this is the first time that Zhao Hong has not seen the Empress Dowager Yang without a screen and a curtain.

First of all, what catches your eye is a very beautiful face, like a flower among the clouds, and like the moon in the autumn night, dressed in red, with green eyebrows and black hair, red lips and plain teeth.

He always knew that Empress Dowager Yang was very young and beautiful.

After all, as early as the time of the first emperor, it had already spread its good name.

Rao is like this, Rao has already had psychological expectations, but Empress Dowager Yang's age and beauty are still beyond his expectations, especially at this moment, with a smile in her eyes, which makes the entire hall brighten.

And from a force in the period.

Since he became famous, since he became famous in Bingzhou, there has never been a shortage of beauties around him, including lowly kabuki and noblewomen, and noblewomen from famous families.

Even if it is a concubine, it is also a lady of the Shi family.

Charming, bright, pretty, lively, cute, and so on, there is no shortage of outstanding looks, but none of them can compare to the person in front of him, can make him unable to take his eyes off, can make him lose his soul.

He remembered what was mentioned in an ancient poem:

The north is good, peerless and independent,

One look at the city, and then look at the country,

Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman.

The world is stunning, nothing more than that.

Such a heavenly posture is completely able to make him willing to serve.

"Zhao Qing, Lone knows that you are going to use the two little ladies of the Zhang family to force Zhang Ziping to hand over the Zhang family's Qilang and Balang, but right now, Qilang and Balang have asked your people to escort them on the way back to Luojing, so Lone is in charge and has Sixteen Niang taken out."

"Sixteen Niang is Lonely's favorite child, Lonely's heart feels sorry for her, but she is reluctant to stay in that high wall all the time."

Zhao Hong vaguely heard Empress Dowager Yang talking to him, so he suddenly came over and hurriedly responded twice.

"Lonely, you've really become a nerd."

Empress Dowager Yang's phoenix eyes widened, she glared at Zhao Hong, her face became serious, she was conceited and beautiful, she never flaunted it and would not hide it, but she didn't like it, so people looked at it so stunned.

She thought that this person had good concentration.

Looking at Empress Dowager Yang's face, Zhao Hong suddenly came to his senses, and realized that this was in the Great Wei Palace, this was the Hongde Palace, and the woman in front of him was not the concubines and maids in his backyard.

Hurriedly retracted his gaze and lowered his head.

Thinking carefully about what Empress Dowager Yang said just now, Fang bowed and replied, "The minister has today, relying on the grace of the mother, and the minister should listen to the mother." As he spoke, he knelt down and kowtowed.

"You get up." Empress Dowager Yang didn't let him really knock, she hurriedly shouted, looked at Zhao Hong with a pious and loyal face, and immediately nodded with satisfaction, this is the reason why she likes to use officials from the Hanmen Shu clan.

It's not just because she comes from a humble background.

It is more about the quality of faithfulness in them.

This loyalty, the officials of the scholar clan, can not see the slightest bit, and even many scholars, in the family heirloom, there is faith, virtue, filial piety, loyalty, and letting, but only one word is missing.

Therefore, there is a previous generation: the court has changed, and the gate valve has not moved.

For the scholars, no matter who is the emperor and who is the world, their family will not be affected, and in their eyes, the court is just a tool to maintain their rights.

For the scholars, their status and reputation are inherited by their family, determined by their talents, and the inheritance of the relevant families has formed a situation in which the previous generation, with the dry bones of the family, became the minister.

Therefore, these people are not easy to manage, and they do not obey it.

In contrast, she prefers to use people like Zhao Hong, who have no family background and no deep roots, and all of them are tied to their own talents and superiors, and only by virtue of their talents can they be appreciated by their superiors.

There is nothing else to rely on.

Only such a person will have the court in his heart, and will be willing to learn civil and military affairs and lend money to the emperor's family.

That's what she wants.

At that time, Zhu Jun mentioned to her that the Jiupin Zhongzheng would be cancelled, so as to deprive the family of the right to recommend, and select talents from all over the world in the form of examinations for the use of the imperial court.

The selected talents can be used by the court, not by the scholars.

It's a pity for Zhu Jun.

I just hope that the person in front of me can live a little longer.

"The people who are now in prison, you let them endure hardships, I heard Yang Yushi say, you have your own set of research on torture tools, as long as your life is in danger, Lone will not be investigated, you can let them suffer more living crimes."

Yang Yushi, that is, Yang Qing, the imperial historian.

If the law is not the public.

Her nephew died in an unknown way, she can't let these people pay for her nephew's life, but she has to let them suffer something, otherwise, she can't be reconciled, "After Zhang Xin and Zhang Xian return to Beijing, lock up those two boys for a few days, and then let each family pay 10 million yuan to redeem it in your Dali Temple." ”

Half of the money was handed over to the state treasury and half to the uncle's house.

After receiving this money, in the next three years, the border army and grain and grass will not have to worry, and she will also have an explanation to her uncle's mansion and her eldest brother Yang Sheng.

"Only, the minister understands." Zhao Hong hurriedly answered.

He guessed that he had captured these scholars, but he would definitely not kill them all, since he became a cool official, he also knew that killing one or two would be enough, and if he killed seven families in one go, he would still be an excellent son of the major scholar clans.

Isn't that just forcing the nobles to rebel?

His previous idea was to choose someone to kill.

He chose Zheng Ye and Li Da, Zheng Ye's parents died, Li Da was born in the Li family in Longxi, and the Li family was rejected by the Empress Dowager Yang because of Zhu Jun's case.

As for the others, he really didn't dare to think about it.

No, Empress Dowager Yang actually came up with such an idea.

Pay a huge fine to ransom people.

Seven people, that is, 70 million yuan, I heard Du Zhishangshu say that the annual treasury income of the imperial court is only 30 million yuan, and the fines of these seven people are equivalent to the sum of the two years of treasury income.

That's a good idea.

It's much more interesting than cutting off people's heads alone, and these scholars are high-ranking officials from generation to generation, with huge amounts of good land and slaves and maids in the world, and even more rivers, forests and mountains, and the court can't collect taxes from them.

It is simply a self-contained system, forming an independent manor, which is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial court.

took out 10 million yuan, although it would not hurt the muscles and bones, but it was enough for them to have a pain, and he could also use this method in the future.

Zhao Hong reported a few more things, and the Empress Dowager Yang agreed to them one by one, and some even gave corresponding opinions, until an attendant came in to report: The saint came to accompany the mother for dinner.

Empress Dowager Yang looked at the sky, and before she knew it, it was already noon.

So he sent another chamberlain to send Zhao Hong out of the palace, so that people invited the saint to come in, and even Lu Xin'er, the princess of Beihai, who had avoided to the west chamber before, and others invited them over, and instructed the palace people to put the food in the east pavilion.

Sure enough, I saw that Zhang Xi was also among them.
