There was a soft sound from the carving leak in the Qianqing Palace.

Shen Shiqing sandwiched a jade talisman decorated with tassels in the pages of the book as a bookmark, and closed the book again.

Raising her hand, she touched her chest, inside is the heart of Emperor Zhaode, this heart does not have the benevolence of a monarch, rather than this heart can have the world, it is better to be a scheming heart that is proficient in power and art.

"In the past, it was said that listening to the words of the king is better than reading for ten years, and the folk woman finally understood it today, and sat on the dragon chair for nearly a month, and His Majesty woke up the folk woman with a word."

So this is the emperor? It turns out that this is the emperor who is high above.

You don't have to put the people of the world in your heart, you don't have to think hard about how to let more people live and work in peace and contentment, as long as you regard all the people in the world as ants that can be killed at any time, you can be the emperor.

Because he is the emperor, it is natural for him to step on the common people and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

With heavy eyes, Shen Shiqing thought a lot in a very short moment.

But her heart was empty.

Rubbing the pages of the book in her hand and looking at the word "Shangshu" on the cover, she said slowly in her heart:

"Your Majesty, you told the women of the people in one sentence that if they want to be a useful person to the world, they cannot move forward along your old road, which has only power and tricks and no people, only scheming and no sincerity. The way of non-folk women."

After speaking, Shen Shiqing paused.

Zhao Surui's voice did not ring in her heart.

For the hour has come.

She didn't say these words to the monarch named Zhao Surui.

Putting the "Book of Shang" aside, Shen Shiqing stepped off the dragon bed and walked to the window made of rosewood.

Outside, the wind of deep winter whistled by, and there was only a slight opening in the window, and the gust of wind blew people on their heads and faces.

Hearing the noise in the house, a chicken approached the inner room lightly, and saw their emperor standing by the window, with his hair and feet down, letting the cold wind rage, he quickly took the soft-soled shoes and knelt down all the way to the emperor's side.

"Emperor, the slave maid is waiting for you to put on your shoes."

"No, just put your shoes on the ground."

The emperor said so, and a chicken can only do it.

With both feet on his shoes, Shen Shiqing gently exhaled the turbidity in his body.

"A chicken?"

"The Emperor."

"The four rats still let the people of Dongchang go to Ning'anbo Mansion every day to stare at the prince of Yingjun, and follow the example of the ancestors to eat coarse grains and wear sackcloth?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the people of Dongchang surround Ning Anbo's mansion, so that they can't even run out of a mouse. The four rats came to report that every day the prince of Yingjun gave them a lot of silver tickets, and the four rats changed people every day, and on the other hand, they collected all the money, and now there are about 3,000 taels of silver, together with the silver we received from the king of Yingjun, and sent it to the firearms research institute, I think it will be enough for them to use it for a while."

Knowing that the emperor has a dislike for the Yingjun Palace, they chicken and dog eunuchs naturally have to find a way to follow the emperor's wishes, so that sending people to Ning'an Bofu to keep an eye on every day is a small means used by these people, and every time they go, they can get a handful from the Bofu and the prince of Yingjun, there are not many of them, but they are disgusting enough. ….

"Hmm." Shen Shiqing nodded and closed the window by herself.

The moment the window closed, she asked softly, "Ergou sent all the money he has taken over the years?"

In an instant, a chicken buried its head in the ground and let out a muffled sound.

When the emperor mentioned them before, he found that Ergou's face was wrong, he asked in private, at first Ergou gritted his teeth and refused to say, and then told the truth, over the years, the Yingjun Wangfu has sent money to his family, adding up to tens of thousands of taels, Ergou thought that there was nothing that could not be taken from the money of these vassal kings, and then he knew that he had made a big disaster.

When a chicken entered the palace at the age of twelve, he was assigned to a place with a nine-year-old Ergou, and later a chicken was assigned to serve by the side of King Zhaoqin, and Ergou was still a little eunuch who sprinkled and swept, until later King Zhaoqin became the prince and became the emperor, and he wanted to eradicate Zhang Play, needed

A few capable eunuchs, one chicken recommended the second dog to the emperor's side.

At that time, one chicken was still called Fang Qien, and the second dog was called Duan Qiugui.

The two of them can also be regarded as growing up together in adversity, how can one chicken not find a way for the second dog? Gritting his teeth, he forced Ergou to squeeze out all the money, and he made up for his income over the years, and made up a total of 50,000 taels of silver, together with the 4,000 taels of silver sent by the king of Yingjun, and sent it to the firearms research institute outside the city.

He didn't ask the emperor not to know about this, he just hoped that the emperor would not pursue it for the sake of these beast slaves.

"Emperor, Ergou has done his best all these years......

Shen Shiqing heard the kowtow sound of "dong dong", and she lowered her eyes.

According to Zhao Surui's scheming, he must also know that Ergou is greedy for money in private, but he doesn't care, when Ergou becomes the second Zhang To, he will definitely kill him, and then beautifully copy Ergou's family as military expenses.

"Let Ergou write down every stroke he gets, write it clearly, and then go to the celebrant to receive sixty sticks."

Hearing that the emperor didn't directly let the second dog be sent to feed the tiger, Yiji was relieved, and hurriedly kowtowed again: "The slave thanked the emperor for the second dog and spared his dog's life!"

"I don't pursue it because I have been negligent in discipline before, but from now on, if you commit it again, I will deal with it according to the "Dayong Law"."

"Yes! The slave has written it down! The slave thanked the emperor! The slave and maid must let the eunuchs in the palace write it down!"

These days, Shen Shiqing still has some trust in Yiji, he is diligent and intelligent, and always cares about the emperor's thoughts and thoughts, as long as he doesn't be greedy, he is also a good internal official.

Turning around and glancing at the three mountain hats that fell down with a chicken kneeling, Shen Shiqing slowly walked back to the bed:

"I have three things to do, first, I have to thoroughly investigate the tribute, accounts, and send brocade guards down over the years, and all the officials who handle them will be inquired into, regardless of rank, and I can't let go of one; Second, I want to settle the accounts of the Taifu Temple over the years, and this matter will be handed over to the Criminal Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the six sections will be assisted in the investigation and supervision; Third, I will leave the palace tomorrow and go to see Chen Shouzhang again."

After the emperor finished saying the first thing to do, a chicken squatted on the ground and didn't dare to move, and when the three things were finished, he didn't even dare to breathe, only crawled on the ground and buried his head deeply. ….

Ever since the emperor saw Chen Shouzhang and saluted Chen Shouzhang, Yiji's heart has been uneasy, and tonight, his worries have finally come true.

If I knew this, it would be better to let Chen Shouzhang die.

He is dead, and the world can continue to be peaceful.

Seeing that a chicken had been scared into a wooden chicken, Shen Shiqing smiled first.

She knew in her heart that after taking this step, even if she and the real Emperor Zhaode completely parted ways, she would definitely die when Emperor Zhaode returned to this body.

But she still had to do it.

She stood here, she saw, she heard, and she had to do what she had to do and what she could do.

After figuring it out, she only felt relieved.

She is Shen Shiqing, even if she is in the body of an emperor, enjoying the power and luxury of a king, she is still Shen Shiqing.

"Tomorrow morning, you will make a decree for me."

「…… Slave and maid command."

The sun had not yet risen, and under the cold Fengtian Gate, a chicken was ordered to read out His Majesty's will.

The whole court was shocked, and several pavilion elders glanced at each other, and immediately understood that His Majesty had not discussed it with any of them.

Somehow, Li Congyuan's heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, his heart had been hanging for more than ten days, and finally let go.

It turns out that His Majesty is not going to move the capital.

If you think about it carefully, compared to the relocation of the capital that costs the people and money, the abolition of a mere ancho tribute is nothing.

Every year, the court spends a lot of money for the tribute, and if you can save a sum of money, you may be able to use it to do something good.

As for His Majesty's desire to check the Taifu Temple, Li Congyuan silently calculated in his heart that most of the officials in the south of the Taifu Temple were deposed due to the dispute between the Ministry of War and the Taifu Temple, and now that the accounts are checked, it will inevitably set off old things again.

He lifted his eyelids.

From the bottom of his heart, he is not against this matter, Taifu Temple has been used as a money bag by the household department and the military department over the years, but it has become a tool to cover up his deficits everywhere, if he can check it, maybe he can pick out some money.

It's just, is this check a big check or a small check? Is it until the Ministry of War is found? Or have you checked all the holes in the Dayong Dynasty from all over the country to the six parts over the years?

The afterglow of his eyes caught a glimpse of a horn of dragon robe on the golden platform, and Li Congyuan's heart moved.

At this time, he remembered what His Majesty had said when he went to give a lecture to His Majesty this morning.

In fact, His Majesty didn't ask him a sentence from the Book of Shang.

The sentence is, "The heart of the people is in danger, and the heart of the Tao is only small; But the essence is the only one, and it is allowed to be stubborn. *」

This year, His Majesty, who is only twenty and two, is wearing a light-colored dragon-patterned straight-fitting robe, which makes his eyebrows more and more exciting, standing in the East Warm Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace and smelling a somewhat unfamiliar and elegant aroma, Li Congyuan only feels that his majesty in his eyes has changed his appearance more than before, he seems to be more and more relaxed between his eyebrows, but there is a bit of abyss-like momentum on his body.

Li Congyuan figured it out.

Your Majesty, he is going to make a big investigation, or rather, a thorough investigation.

Holding an ivory wat board in his hand, the de facto head of the court bowed and saluted: "Ministers, receive the decree."

Seeing the Manchu Dynasty civil and military saluting him, Shen Shiqing's face was expressionless.

In the distance, the sky gradually fainted, and the lights beside the royal road fluttered in the wind.

The distant morning bell rang throughout Yanjing.

Startled by the sound of the bell, the crows swept over the golden roof tiles.

The place where the sun can reach may be a distant place that she will not be able to reach in her life, but she wants to leave her own traces on this land.

"Ladies and gentlemen, since the 200 years of the Great Yongli Dynasty, no matter how many holes there are, I dare to look, I want to see, I dare to kill the moths caught from the holes, I want to kill. I will say the ugly things in front, I can fill the gap before the first day of October, I can get rid of it lightly, and after October, I will find out, and I will have my own "Dayong Law" watching you."

There was silence all around.

Shen Shiqing stood up, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and turned around and left the Jintai throne.

"Retreat - towards the ——!".
