Chapter XXXVIII

Although he had been chanting Shen Sanqu's name in his heart for the past few days, when the woman's slightly cold voice sounded in his heart, Zhao Surui couldn't help but touch the back of his neck.

smoothed out the fried hair.

In the Dongnuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Shen Shiqing put the two books on the corner of the table, and raised his hand to pinch his eyebrows:

"Replace the incense in the incense burner with lighter, it's too fragrant and a little boring."

Yiji hurriedly wrote it down and did it, and said, "Emperor, rest early, it's already the second watch, and you have to go to court early tomorrow."

The emperor is several times more diligent than before, which is naturally a good thing for the world, but in the final analysis, the duty of these eunuchs is not to assist the emperor, but to serve the emperor, if the emperor is tired and sick for government affairs, the emperor is diligent and loves the people, and they are guilty of ten thousand deaths.

"Okay, rest."

Shen Shiqing put down the pen, and the three cats on the side took the opportunity to bring a white porcelain bowl.

"Emperor, the clove pears you said before have been simmered, and only two pieces of rock sugar have been added according to the emperor's instructions."

Shen Shiqing took it, ate the pear meat that had been simmered into amber, and drank two more mouthfuls of soup.

Since she saw Chen Shouzhang that day, she has been a little lacking in energy, and her appetite is not as good as before, so scared that they are secretly worried about whether she was hit by the unclean things of Beizhen Fusi, but Shen Shiqing knows very well that she has not encountered anything dirty, but she is just a little bored, probably because Zhao Surui already has a liver that is easy to catch fire, so that her boredom has some signs.

That's why the three cats made this clove Sydney pear for her.

She was drinking pear soup slowly over there, her face was calm, but her heart looked like a monkey in the Heavenly Palace.

"Shen Sanwu, you speak!"

"Shen San, how have you gotten to my country?"

"Shen Sanfu, do you know that Cui Jinniang acted in a good show, but it was really an eye-opener for me."

"Shen San Waste, Shen San Waste, Shen San Waste......

"Your Majesty, you're too noisy."

Zhao Surui: "...... Shen Sanfu, do you believe it or not, now go and let Tu Nan Peifeng wrestle with me, and never die?"

The thin porcelain spoon was put back into the bowl, and Shen Shiqing raised his head: "Your Majesty, the people will go and find twenty sturdy brocade guards to come in and sleep."

Zhao Surui: "......"

I can't live this day!

Shen Shiqing walked slowly towards the apse of the Qianqing Palace where he was sleeping, and said slowly in his heart: "Your Majesty, being irritable and irritable is not good for your body, although the body you are using now is a people's woman's, in case you have a mouth sore, it hurts Your Majesty."

Zhao Surui rolled his eyes, and took a bamboo skewer to turn over the roasted ginkgo on the small clay stove.

Ever since he knew that this delicate red clay stove was used by Shen Sanzhu to bake paints, and he used it with great preference, he preferred to use it to bake things and eat them.

Shen Sanqu harmed his country, and he scourged Shen Sanqu's furnace!

"Speaking of which, Shen Sanfu, I have to thank you for teaching a few good maids, who are loyal and skillful, and serve me well."

"Your Majesty is rich from all over the world, and he can praise a few maids of the people's women, and the people's women have thanked Your Majesty on their behalf." Shen Shiqing stood in the inner room, took off the crown hat on his head and handed it to a chicken, and then stretched out his arms and let a few eunuchs untie their robes. ….

Shen Shiqing thanked him as if he was very sincere, but Zhao Surui snorted secretly.

He didn't praise Shen Sanfu to make her thankful.

"Shen Sanfu, I've thought about it for the past few days, you actually don't have nothing, you have countless books, a few loyal maids, if you have some more family wealth, find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to build a courtyard, without outsiders intruding, it should also be a fairy-like day."

Shen Shiqing didn't speak immediately, she wiped her teeth with green salt and rinsed her mouth, then sat down and took off her boots, but she didn't go to bed immediately, but picked up a book on the side of the bed and read it, and waved her hand to several eunuchs:

"Stand down."

"Yes, the slaves and maids retreated first

, please sleep peacefully."

She didn't speak for a while, and Zhao Surui over there was already anxious again: "What do you think, Shen Sanrui? Shen Sanzhu, what kind of Zhuangzi do you want to live in?"

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world, since you have a fairy-like life to live, the women of the people naturally have to invite Your Majesty to live, as for the work of the world, the exchange of fame and fame, there are women of the people to bear for Your Majesty."

Zhao Surui was choked again.

"Shen Shiqing, how are you willing to return my body to me?"

"Your Majesty, don't think that the women are living comfortably now." Shen Shiqing said in her heart while reading the book, "I went to see Chen Shouzhang a few days ago, Your Majesty, today's Dayong can also be said to be full of holes, there are deficits everywhere, most of the magistrates are tearing down the east wall to make up the west wall, I have counted and calculated the account books of the household department these days, unless Your Majesty, you can completely defeat the Duer headquarters within two months next year, otherwise Dayong's treasury will be emptied for you."

Shen Shiqing's words were extremely unkind, and he completely supplemented what Chen Shouzhang had written on the fold at the beginning.

Hearing that Shen Sanru had actually counted the account books of the household department, Zhao Surui sneered, and put a charred ginkgo with chopsticks on the plate in front of him.

"Do you still need to settle the account of the household? If it weren't for my father's hard work for so many years, he would not be able to collect six million taels of tax money a year now, don't you think I really don't know? If it weren't for the sake of saving money to fight Mobei and Moxi, why would I have to endure Zhang playing that guy for three whole years?"

Zhang Play is the great eunuch who leaned towards the government and the opposition when the first emperor was in power, the first emperor was weak, and once took most of the power to appoint and dismiss officials in the court, after the first prince came to the court, he restrained himself, but unfortunately the first prince did not overthrow him first, after Emperor Zhaode succeeded to the throne, he once let Zhang Play control the government, Zhang Play thought that the emperor was young and had to rely on him more, so he unscrupulously amassed wealth, and sold officials to do everything.

Until the third year of Emperor Zhaode's accession to the throne, one day, Zhang Wan served in front of the emperor as usual, and Emperor Zhaode's hand was loosened, and a cup fell to the ground.

Before Zhang Play could speak, he was pushed to the ground by several little eunuchs, and the young emperor squatted on the ground and looked at him with a smile:

"Zhang Play, how dare you lose your honor in front of you?"

With just this sentence, Zhang Wan's party, which was entrenched in half a dynasty, disappeared in just a few days.

Before the courtiers had time to praise their young Majesty for his arbitrariness, he saw His Majesty touch his chin in the early dynasty and said, "I want to conquer the Emperor himself." ….

Shen Shiqing originally thought that Emperor Zhaode killed Zhang Play for Liwei, but now she realized that in Zhao Surui's eyes, Zhang Play was just a fat pig raised by him, and he naturally killed him when it was time to kill.

To this day, Zhao Surui felt that he was really wise and martial to the extreme, and he poked the shell of the white fruit with his finger and was burned.

"Ah Chi."

"Girl."

"Peel the ginkgo for me."

"Yes, girl."

Eating the ginkgo that Ah Chi had diligently peeled off, Zhao Surui lazily slumped on the literary chair and said to Shen Shiqing: "Zhang Wan's party has paid a total of 20 million taels of silver and 1 million taels of gold, and I have enough to fight the Duqin Department and the Duer Headquarters after I beat it, and their money is greedy, and it can be regarded as lifting them up in the northwest, so that they can have a merit in the underground."

It's only one point, and it can't be more.

Shen Shiqing, who was leaning on the dragon bed and reading a book, moved his brows slightly, and turned the book another page.

"Your Majesty, if the war doesn't go well next year, who will you kill to raise military expenses?"

Zhao Surui chewed the white fruit, and read in his heart the money bag he had already targeted:

"The officials of the various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, if it is not enough, look at the tributes sent everywhere, what kind of tribute, silk tribute, tea tribute, if it is not enough, kill the salt administration, and it is not enough...... The vassal kings everywhere are also quite fat."

After seven years of cultivating her mind, Shen Shiqing asked herself that there were not many things in the world that could surprise her, but at this time, she was still shocked by this tyrant's unabashed words.

Jiangnan is a place that supports the wealth of the world, and if the officials of all provinces are greedy, it is no wonder that it is now

Dayong can't make ends meet.

The vassal kings not only got money from their respective fiefdoms, but also had rewards from the court every year, and he still had to take back the rewards that he had taken out of Zhao Surui's hands?

As for the anchovy, it is needless to say, this is what she has decided to abolish, and now there are still undercurrents in the court.

It turned out that Zhao Surui knew all this, not only did he know, but he also let them sit big, as if he had already decided that the people's fat and ointment that these people had scavenged had been destined to enter his pocket.

Shen Shiqing began to feel that she had eaten less of the clove pears she had just eaten.

In a very short moment, she thoroughly understood Li Gelao's joy when he saw her ask about people's livelihood, and even understood that Liu Gelao could vaguely see the top of his scalp through the gauze hat and the hemorrhoids that Yang Ge had had for many years.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about if all the prefectures in Jiangnan, the officials in charge of tribute, and the vassal kings everywhere are all eating the people, what kind of life are the people living?"

"What are the people doing?" Chewing on the roasted ginkgo fruit, Zhao Surui smiled, "Shen Sanguo, you don't think it's all my fault that there are people in this world who are poor, right? Then there are still people in this world who are prosperous, which should be regarded as my credit, right? Naturally, he has the means and courage to have a rich family background, and he can't blame me for having no brains and no courage to live a bad life. I killed corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and those people should praise me for the Holy Ming."

Shen Shiqing didn't think so.

"Your Majesty, the disease is in the stomach, within the reach of the soup, in the stomach, and within the reach of the medicine...... If you can be cured in the first place, why wait until the disease reaches the stomach? The stomach and intestines are too close to the bone marrow after all. *」

"You've only been the emperor for a few days before you dare to accuse me?"

Zhao Surui was impatient again: "Then how do you let me be treated? Staring at those officials every day, if they dare to be greedy, they will be dragged out immediately, or will they simply borrow a magic weapon from the Bodhisattva, look at their hearts in the mirror, and if their hearts are black, they will immediately drag them out and cut them down?"

Put a hot ginkgo in the palm of your hand, pat the palm root with your hand, and the ginkgo bounced up and fell into your mouth.

"Ants are ants, and once you have a little power, you feel that you can make the world look new."

Emperor Zhaode of the Dayong Dynasty lowered his eyes and said with a smile in his heart:

"As everyone knows, power itself is not used to save people, but to decide who will die first."

There was another loud sound outside the window.
