"Hiccup, speaking of which, it seems that some people have been talking about Lin Die'er's case recently, is there such a thing?"

"You reminded me of that, there's such a thing. Recently, some people always say that there is a problem with Lin Dieer's case, and the implication is that our Western Dynasty is not doing it right. I see, most of the Liang Guo is a ghost."

"Aren't those envoys of the Liang Kingdom still in the prison of the Criminal Department? Can they do it?"

"Money makes the devil grind. Moreover, maybe it was Zhu Guo and Yue Guo who did it. If we get into trouble with Liang Guozhen, who will benefit? Isn't it Zhu Guo and Yue Guo?"

Tang Yingying, Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai looked at each other, someone was secretly using Lin Die'er's matter to make ghosts, but I don't know which side of the ghost is from.

"Let's check it out." Tang Yingying's words were approved by Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai.

This check, after a few days of investigation, finally found some signs, and found something different.

Nourishing the heart hall, side hall.

"It's the Criminal Department again." Mo Chen tapped the small table a few times with his fingers.

Mo Yuan shook his head with a sigh of relief, not sympathetic to the criminal department at all. He had heard from the regent about the things of the Criminal Department, but the Criminal Department still didn't take it as a warning, and it was a big trouble.

Tang Yingying took the information and looked at it again and again: "This time it's the prison of the Criminal Department again. There will be problems again and again in the prison of the Criminal Department, and I am afraid it is still profit."

"For the jailers at the bottom, their little monthly money is basically enough to live or not enough to live, and for the sake of the family's life, they may have to pay for their children's education, so they can only try their best to make money.

Qian Shangshu and the benefits they give are high, and this money is enough for the jailer's family to live a prosperous life for the rest of their lives, and they no longer have to worry about not having enough food and clothing one day, and the children can't afford to pay for their studies."

Mo Yuan snorted, "In the years when I lived in Zhuangzi in the suburbs, I saw too many farmers selling their sons and daughters in order to survive, or selling themselves into slavery. It is very difficult and difficult for the people at the bottom to live, and how can they refuse such a great temptation."

Tang Yingying: "This kind of thing can't be solved at the root. No matter how strong the country is, the people at the bottom will always be the majority, but we can change it."

Mo Chen and Mo Yuankai looked at her.

Tang Yingying expressed her thoughts: "First, we can teach reading and writing for free. There are so many idle literati in the big family, they don't lack money or status, what do they lack?"

"Fame!" Mo Yuankai raised his voice slightly: "But, Princess Regent, the people at the bottom don't have time to learn to read and write."

Tang Yingying smiled: "There is definitely no busy farming season, but there is usually one. Also, after dinner in the evening, when everyone gets together to chat, teach reading and literacy, isn't it?"

"The prince knows that reading and writing is a luxury for the people at the bottom. With this free opportunity, they will take advantage of whatever they say. In the eyes of the people at the bottom, people who can read and write are different from them, they are high."

Mo Yuankai and Mo Chen knew that it was not easy to implement this matter, and for the people at the bottom, they were more concerned about whether they could be fed and clothed.

Tang Yingying understands this: "You can reward it. For example, whoever knows the most words this month, who does a good job in farm work, who catches stealing chickens and touching dogs, etc., will surely have a very different harvest in the long run."

Two or three catties of rice is a big reward for the people at the bottom.

"It's not easy to implement." Mo Chen pondered for a moment and explained, "It looks good, but it's too easy for people to take advantage of loopholes, and it will also make some people lazy. In addition, this expense is not small for the imperial court."

"It's okay to let people from big families who are idle at home teach, mainly for poor students. Perhaps, we will be able to find useful talents for the imperial court."

Tang Yingying snorted, "That's okay, do as you say." It is already extremely difficult for poor students to study, and it would be best if you could help them."

Mo Yuankai had an idea: "How about teaching children to read and write? If you want to send it, you can send it, the kind that teaches for free, before

You have to be obedient and don't do anything you shouldn't do."

"The children of this generation know some words and can teach their own children, so it seems that they can also achieve the purpose of the princess regent."

Tang Yingying looked at Mo Chen.

Mo Chen thought for a moment, "This method is not bad. In this way, tomorrow morning, the prince and the courtiers will discuss and discuss. There must be many people who are willing to do this kind of thing that can get a good reputation."

What do people with status and money want most? One is a higher status, and the other is a good name.

Many people value reputation the most.

Mo Yuankai wiped his face: "Okay, I will discuss it with the courtiers tomorrow morning." So, what are the prison guards going to do?"

Mo Chen asked rhetorically, "What is the prince going to do?"

Mo Yuankai frowned slightly: "I think it's better to take this opportunity to ask Liang Guo for his guilt. Liang Guo has always avoided the matter of Lin Die'er marrying, so let's settle this matter together. The more Liang Guo wants to avoid this matter, the more we will not let Liang Guo avoid it."

Mo Chen nodded.

Mo Yuankai had an idea, and then talked about the affairs of Zhu and Yue: "The envoys of these two countries have made it very clear that the peace agreement was signed. I thought about releasing Qian Shangshu and the others when the peace agreement was signed."

Mo Chen nodded again.

The two discussed state affairs, and Tang Yingying sat there and dozed off, not hearing what the two said clearly.

After chatting, Mo Chen remembered something: "Hasn't the prince chosen the crown princess yet?"

Mo Yuan became bitter in seconds, haha: "This ...... Regent, the crown princess is not so easy to choose. I want to choose one that is suitable for managing the harem, but all of them seem to be very calculating."

He felt like a fragrant dumpling, everyone wanted to take a bite of each of these young ladies, and everyone wanted to get huge benefits from him.

Mo Chen really couldn't help much in this matter: "Then the prince will first select the side concubines and concubines. The crown princess has a lot to do, so it's not too late to pick it slowly."

Mo Yuankai wanted to say no, but he didn't have the guts. And he knows very well that the choice of the crown princess is not for him, but to balance the court situation and contain various courtiers.

「…… Yes."

Therefore, what is good about being this prince, many things are involuntarily, and he can't lie down happily, how tired he is.

Mo Chen told him again, and then retired with Tang Yingying.

The two returned to the regent palace, and Quan An greeted them: "Princess, prince, about the national teacher of Liang Kingdom, I found something useful."

The three of them went to the flower hall and sat down to talk.

"Tell me." Tang Yingying said.

Quan An said carefully: "What I have found now, it seems that this Liang National Master has not been in Liang Country for a long time. The external saying is that the national teacher has returned to heaven to cultivate......

Tang Yingying said twice: "Go back to heaven to cultivate, why don't you say that he drove the crane west? I really admire Liang Guo, and I really believe that his national teacher is an immortal."

Mo Chen said indifferently, "The world worships these."

Tang Yingying is either unaware of this, or very sarcastic: "This also shows that Liang Guo, the national teacher, has good means, otherwise it would be impossible for Liang Guo to worship and respect him so much from top to bottom."

Mo Chen understood what she meant: "Yes, a word from this Liang Guoshi can unite Liang Guo. He asked Liang to go to war, and if Liang would start a war without saying a word, he would fight until there was only one soldier left."

It's a terrible thing.

Tang Yingying furrowed her brows: "We have to keep an eye on the national teacher of the Liang Kingdom, but we can't let him really provoke the Liang Kingdom to start a war."

Mo Chen hummed, and he motioned for Quan An to continue.

Quan An continued, "How long has the national teacher of Liang Guo been absent from Liang Guo, and the minions have not yet found out. But what I found out was that after a long absence, it was basically his entourage to solve things, or he would send a message to his entourage."

"The minion is a little stranger, where did Liang Guoshi go for such a long time? It stands to reason that Liang Guoshi already has everything, so why should he leave for so long, he is not a real immortal."

ink

Tatsu: "What are you suspecting?"

Quan An rubbed his hands: "Princess, prince, do you think it is possible, Liang Guoshi is hopeless?"

He said his opinion: "You see, Liang Guoshi has not been in Liang for so long, and he basically doesn't care about Liang Guo's affairs, and it has only recently emerged. Perhaps, when he was not in the Liang Kingdom, he was doing things in my Western Dynasty."

Mo Chen: "It's just a possibility. And your guess alone won't prove anything."

Tang Yingying also meant this: "If it is, Liang Guoshi is really hopeless, and things will become very troublesome. Based on the status of the national teacher of the Liang State in the Liang State alone, if we want to solve him, we have to confront the entire Liang State."

Quan An gasped when he heard this: "In this case, the minion hopes that the national teacher of Liang Guo is not hopeless. Maybe during the time he was not in Liang Kingdom, he went to play somewhere, so that he didn't have to maintain the demeanor of his national teacher."

Mo Chen and Tang Yingying felt that this was also possible, no matter what, just continue to investigate the national teacher of Liang Guo.

Liang Guo, National Teacher's Mansion.

The national teacher Lin Jin sat cross-legged on the futon, and in front of him was not a Buddha statue, but a tablet.

The retinue walked in lightly, and he saluted, "National Teacher, Your Majesty has sent someone to ask you how to deal with the affairs of the Western Dynasty. The slave listened to His Majesty's meaning and wanted to go to war."

Lin Jin opened his eyes and said indifferently, "If he wants to go to war, he will go to war, what does it have to do with me. To put it bluntly, he just wants to use my name, so he can use me as a scapegoat if he loses the battle."

"Our emperor, has been dissatisfied with me for a long time. As the saying goes, you can't let anyone snore on the side of the couch."

Conscience snorted coldly: "National teacher, you should teach Your Majesty a lesson, lest he be too self-righteous."

If it weren't for the national teacher, how could His Majesty ascend to the throne so easily.

Lin Jin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to: "What is the situation over there?"
