Lin Qingqing returned to Beijing and issued a hunt and kill order to those officials who already had two hearts and now fled with their families.

The generals who followed Ye Shu also died, and it is said that within a few days, tens of thousands of people were buried alive alone. Those who had said that the empress was soft-hearted were all silent, and the scholars outside the capital who refused to help the empress also gasped and took the initiative to enter the capital.

"Just in time."

Lin Qingqing personally received them in the Tianzihao conference room and talked with these people about the improvement of the local area.

Census of the population, surveying of land, opening of public schools, and the proportion of light industry built.

"If you can't remember, take a pen and paper and write it down," Lin Qingqing drank saliva on the main work, and first asked the Yang family of Luling, who was farthest away from him, "What do the Yang family think the public school should do?" ”

The patriarch of the Yang clan, who was over half a hundred years old, was calm and had a straight back, and hurriedly got up. He said with a contemplative look, "The school has always existed, but it is a public school, and the small people don't understand it very well and dare not speak falsely. ”

The prime minister of a country stood beside the empress with his hands tied, and then stood up to explain what public affairs were.

When everyone listened, they all muttered in their hearts, "Isn't this just asking them to contribute money and effort?

"The imperial court is in urgent need of talents, and the big exam is imminent, I rely on you to contribute," Lin Qingqing reminded them lightly.

Those who deserve to die are all dead, and whether they deserve to die or not depends on the performance.

"Being able to 'popularize education' is a thousand years of achievement, and my Xie family fully supports it," someone immediately set an example.

Lin Qingqing smiled and looked at others.

Others took a stand one after another.

They moved on to other matters.

Lin Wenzhong waited outside for a long time and didn't have time, so he had to wait at home.

"Let someone call her back," Mother Lin saw that he looked preoccupied, and she couldn't stand it.

"You don't understand," Lin Wenzhong sipped his wine, "Don't let her worry about family affairs in the future, she has a lot of opportunities, and many things are waiting to be handled." ”

"I haven't been home for three days," Mother Lin felt distressed when she thought of her busy appearance, but she couldn't help except prepare meals for her every day and send her a change of clothes.

This made Lin Wenzhong feel that waiting was not the way to go. Pick a time to eat and go to the main hall to find her.

The so-called big examination still selects talents according to the previous spring examination questions. But in addition to this, there is a second round of exams. The public school has been finalized, and it will be tried soon, and someone has to teach. Those who teach not only have to know the Four Books and the Five Classics, but also have to be proficient in calculations, repair rivers, and create industries, all of which require people. This second round of exams is aimed at these. At the same time, it also solves the problem of what is the meaning of being an official if "the government and the people are taxed equally".

Chen Zijin: They talked all night around the long table.

Seeing Lin Wenzhong, who was hesitant, Lin Qingqing called out to him and motioned for him to come and sit.

"Let's get here first today," Chen Zijin saw that Lin Wenzhong had something to do, and offered to dismiss the meeting.

Everyone looked at the empress.

Lin Qingqing rubbed his forehead, "Let's disperse." ”

Lin Wenzhong picked up the position on her left hand side and sat down, looking at her tired face, "You can also rest." ”

"The officials have to write until midnight when they go home to write their memoirs, where am I embarrassed to rest," Lin Qingqing leaned on and smiled, "What is Dad looking for me?" ”

His daughter's eyes were like moonlight shining on the water, so Lin Wenzhong didn't know how to speak for a while.

"Dad wants to tell you about Jiao Zhiming and others," he still spoke.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Wenzhong pursed his lips, "Dad thinks some people shouldn't be killed." Especially those officials who fled the capital with their families, let them flee if they escaped, and they were all powerless literati. ”

Seeing that there was no displeasure on her face, Lin Wenzhong continued: "The Qing Changhe family who was arrested in Datong, more than 30 people, all of them were killed, how innocent are they? There is also Jiao Zhiming, whose daughter is only three years old, and those soldiers who have no intention of rebellion can also be sent into exile. ”

But she will be killed, and the executioner's knife will be curled.

Lin Qingqing didn't speak for a long time, "Daddy, do you know how the Changhe family didn't choose to say anything on the way to escape?" Now that he has fled, he should remain incognito, instead of ignoring the situation in front of him. Hide well and be honest, they naturally can't die. ”

If he is traced, he must die; If you can't track it down, you don't have to die. This seems to be reasonable, but it doesn't seem to be. Lin Wenzhong didn't know how to refute.

"There are also Jiao Zhiming and others, I'm afraid my father doesn't know how many diehards Ye Shu has," Lin Qingqing leaned back in the chair completely, "The weeds can't be removed, and the spring breeze blows and grows, I hope my father can understand me." ”

They didn't talk.

It can no longer be called a talk, he is not only her father, but also her courtier.

But those are human lives. Lin Wenzhong couldn't do it indifferently. He went to Chen Zijin, hoping that Chen Zijin could persuade the empress.

"My lord, put the list here first," Chen Zijin said, "I will persuade Your Majesty to think about it when I have the chance." ”

"The execution is about to be carried out," otherwise Lin Wenzhong would not be in such a hurry.

"You all stand down," Chen Zijin didn't want him to go to the empress again, so he asked someone to find out the files of the people on the list and check them all night to see if there was any possibility of avoiding the death penalty.

After experiencing so many things, Lin Qingqing didn't need to look in the mirror to know how impersonal his expression was.

She didn't want to say anything to her father that hurt him, "I'll have to let you bother to block it for me next time." ”

There is no way to forgive those people's capital sins.

Looking at the extremely healthy Tuoba Sheng, he often looked like he had no bones, crooked beside her, pinching the list and looking at it, "I almost wrote Ye Shu's name as well." ”

"Your Majesty," he blew into Lin Qingqing's ear, "when will the execution be carried out." ”

Chen Zijin has become accustomed to this.

Lin Qingqing also practiced ignoring the big living people.

"I'll pay a visit," he had nothing to do when he was idle.

Lin Qingqing finally raised his eyes to look at him, "It's better to lock you up with him." ”

Tuoba Sheng sat there with his face propped up, "Then I'll go to the Qinglou, where is there still singing." It's much more interesting than here. ”

Lin Qingqing didn't bother to pay attention to him.

"Did I really go? I'll take the boat to ......."

The man who was writing at the desk jumped up and pinched him by the neck, almost not strangling him to death. He was still laughing cheaply.

"If it's okay, just roll me back to the grassland," Lin Qingqing was really fed up with him.

"Okay, good," really provoked her, and Tuoba Sheng really shut up. Honestly stay aside.

Chen Zijin knew that Tuoba Sheng did it on purpose.

Just show him.
