"It has always been said that it is to kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, but our majesty is really killing monkeys and making an example of chickens. A Shou Chenghou hasn't dealt with it clearly, and he has closed up the second master Ying, who has made a statement, but it seems that our procuratorate is not diligent enough."

After the beginning of winter, the officials wore thicker errands, the court clothes made of ramie silk were worn outside, and a leather jacket or cotton jacket from head to toe was added inside, and the warm ears that were rewarded by the court according to the rules also came to the hands of the Beijing officials, that is, a few pieces of mink fur put together in a circle on the gauze hat, and the front was a long front-facing one, each side was decorated with a piece on the left and right, hanging down and slightly covering the ears and the back of the neck. Standing in the Liuke Corridor and looking at the past, the eyes were full of round officials of various ministries, wearing robes with mink, and the wind blew from the west, making them walk with a sense of mellow lightness.

On the way to Wenyuan Pavilion, the round servant Lang Zhuang Chang Xin met the same round Zuodu Yushi Qian Zhuo, Qian Zhuo is a native of Fuzhou, and he has not been able to stand the dry and cold north wind in Yanjing City for so many years as an official, and his teeth are beating his tongue when he speaks.

Zhuang Chang Xin smiled and pinched a few books in his hand, and said with a smile: "Lord Qian was a step late in the last time he became a marquis, and I heard that this time he was preempted by Xichang again? I heard that Jin Yiwei has been walking around very diligently in the past few days, and I don't know which high-ranking family he is eyeing again, Lord Qian, I heard that the group of Hanlin is now participating in extravagant dignitaries everywhere...... If this continues, all of you will soon become idle yamen."

Qian Zhuo's face was a little bloody by the wind, and the anxiety in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He is also very worried about this matter, at this time in previous years, His Majesty either wanted to go out of the city to hunt, or he wanted to let Liaodong pay tribute to the extremely valuable gold mink and Dongzhu, plus the palace in order to prepare for the New Year will definitely be extravagant, it is the time for them to show their strength, but this year His Majesty did not follow the process, not only did not mention anything to go out of the city to hunt, but the holy decree to Liaodong was also to let them beware of the severe winter wind and snow disaster, not to let the people be displaced because of the heavy snowfall, neither the gold sable nor the Dongzhu, On the contrary, he also rewarded a batch of tribute satin and good wine from various departments in Liaodong.

The royal historians who were gearing up didn't even take off their clothes but didn't wait for their opponents, and they dried in place one by one, cold and embarrassed.

Thinking of the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Qian Zhuo shook his head: "Alas, Yao Qian was sent to Jiangxi but he had some intention of showing his strength, His Majesty personally approved his excerpts several times, a few days ago he played the Jiangxi Buzheng Division in the name of tea tribute to extort tyranny, His Majesty not only immediately sent someone to investigate, but also directly rewarded him with the purple bamboo pen used to approve the folding."

Although he was Yao Qian's top boss as the imperial history of Zuodu, Qian Zhuo still brought out a strong sourness when he spoke.

The world says that they are greedy for fame, why do they covet fame? It is because their performance cannot be adopted by His Majesty at all, and they cannot seek merit from above, but can only seek fame from below.

In the past, Yao Qian took the lead in making a name for himself from His Majesty, and he was crazy, but now? He was afraid that he had already regarded himself as the reincarnation of Wei Zheng and the rebirth of Guan Zhong, and if anyone said that His Majesty had any trivial problems, he would be able to turn into a mad dog bite on the spot. ….

What kind of fairy day is this? This is the Grace of God! What is that reputation for outspokenness compared to that of the Holy Family?

Qian Zhuo couldn't wait to move himself away with Yao.

"I heard that Wang Hanlin participated in Cao Fengxi's invasion of the people's fields, and His Majesty gave him a special opinion when he went to the Hanlin Academy."

A hundred years of old vinegar was about to come out of Qian Zhuo's throat, but he didn't know that the person who plucked Wang Hanlin and gathered people to beat Cao Fengxi's water dog was Zhuang Changxin, who walked next to him.

Zhuang Changxin tilted his head and glanced at him: "Old Qian, in the past, Your Majesty didn't wait to see your imperial history, you were considered to have no way out, but now Your Majesty has changed his mind and sees a broad road ahead, why, you don't dare to go?"

Qian Zhuo swallowed his saliva slightly, but did not say a word.

Shoucheng Marquis, British Gongyi is a relative and a noble, but the accounts of the tribute and the Taifu Temple involve more civil officials, and they are the same subjects, colleagues, and friends who have entered the imperial examination together with them, and if he is not careful, he will become the target of the public in the imperial history, Yao Qian is a mad dog, and he still has to be a man.

Knowing that Qian Zhuo was still hesitating, Zhuang Changxin didn't say anything.

He had advised Li Congyuan to trust His Majesty more, but he would not say such things to Qian Zhuo.

The strange silence of the imperial historians today is actually the silent resistance of the civil officials to the investigation of maladministration, and if they want to reverse it, they have to find another way.

Glancing at the paperwork in his hand, he sighed in his heart, His Majesty bypassed the household department and ordered them to select talents who are proficient in accounts to enter Beijing, this matter is not going well, just like Qian Clumsy, these officials do not have the courage to "dare to be the first in the world".

As soon as he entered the gate of Wenyuan Pavilion, he watched the British Duke stride out, his face was obviously depressed and defeated, obviously even if he gave up his old face to beg a few pavilion elders, no one was willing to go to the palace to intercede for him.

After saluting to the British public, Zhuang Changxin raised his feet and entered the Wenyuan Pavilion, but there was a sudden pause at his feet.

I begged for someone and asked for Wenyuan Pavilion...... The British public is really not afraid that his appearance will be seen clearly by the whole court.

A little thought passed away, and before he could figure it out, he heard Li Congyuan calling him.

"Zhuang Shilang, come and see this account book."

Zhuang Changxin walked over, and saw Li Congyuan holding a booklet in his hand, looking at the accounts sorted out on it, Zhuang Changxin asked:

"This account is very well done, where did you find such a capable person?"

"It's not me." Li Congyuan held the account book, stroked his beard and smiled, "This is made by the saint, this account is done clearly, and the words are well written, even people who don't know the accounts can roughly understand it, according to the meaning of the saint, the accounts of the Taifu Temple in the past ten years have to be reorganized like this."

Zhuang Changxin's eyes couldn't help but widen: "All?"

"All."

Knowing that there was no manpower available now, Li Congyuan put down the account book, and the smile on his face faded.

"We must pay close attention to the matter of selecting people from all over the country to settle accounts in Beijing."

Before Zhuang Changxin could speak, Li Congyuan sighed: "Your Majesty is now resolute, if our previous dynasty can't give enough manpower, we will have to watch this errand be handed over to the inner court."

He looked at Zhuang Changxin: "Your Majesty has explained to me today, and asked me to find another arithmetic master for the inner study hall, and I want to teach them to read and settle accounts." ….

The inner study hall is the place where the eunuchs are taught to read in the palace, and has always been led by the university scholars to teach, of course, it is only in name, and the specific coursework is found by another person to teach, every year there are two or three hundred carefully selected little eunuchs under the age of twelve who are sent to the inner study hall to study, and now the master of ceremonies is the best learned in the inner study hall in the past, the first emperor cherished his intelligence, and then he was rewarded to the current majesty who was still the prince as a companion to the eunuch.

Chief Zhuang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty's methods have always been strong, how can you let the previous dynasty pass the buck and contain it? If Qian Yushi knows this news, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner tonight."

His tone was playful, Li Congyuan couldn't help but smile, and after laughing, Li Congyuan took a deep breath:

"Well, I have a candidate here, and I will recommend it to His Majesty tomorrow morning."

"Do you want to recommend this person to teach arithmetic, or do you want him to settle the accounts of the Taifu Temple?"

Zhuang Changxin just asked casually, which made Li Congyuan stunned for a moment.

"See what he thinks." Thinking of that man's temper, Li Congyuan took a sip of the pure-hearted mulberry leaf soaked water.

In the Qianqing Palace, as soon as Shen Shiqing said that he was going to Changchun Palace in the evening, he heard a chicken whisper, "Your Majesty, Niangniang should be inconvenient today."

I went to play outside the palace again, and it was inconvenient to look for it today.

Understanding the meaning, Shen Shiqing smiled and nodded, from the day she was able to step out of the palace gate, this imperial city could no longer control Lin Miaozhen, and she always had to go out every day or two.

Shen Shiqing understood that she was locked up hard, and only asked the four rats to protect Lin Miaozhen carefully, and didn't ask about the rest.

Not long after the two finished speaking, the little eunuch guarding the door in front of him carefully reported that the queen had sent a palace maid to pass the word and invite the emperor to come over for dinner in the evening.

This is what Lin Miaozhen meant when she came back from outside the palace and brought good things, of course Shen Shiqing should go.

Batch of recitals folded in one breath to the evening,

The next decree was to apply for the British Mansion to make a show, and the sky was completely dark, and Shen Shiqing remembered that he had an appointment with Lin Miaozhen first.

One last glance at the official's fold, she casually set it aside.

How many officials in the entire Dayong can't even figure out who can settle accounts, how ridiculous?

In Changchun Palace, Lin Miaozhen happily presented her with treasures:

"Look at the pattern on this piece of satin, this is the embroidered road map of Gulou Street, it is said that foreign merchants like it tightly, how about we embroider the territory map of the Dayong Dynasty? Of course, I can't count on this job, but I have two female officers who need to be used, and it's good to have them embroider with embroiderers."

Shen Shiqing pinched the corner of the satin with a smile on her face.

The color on this piece of satin is called "autumn ginkgo biloba", or she transferred it out to the dyeing workshop of Princess Yueqing, but she didn't expect to see it again in Lin Miaozhen's hands.

"Okay, if my sister likes it, just do it, and you can wear the Dayong Territory Map on your body."

Lin Miaozhen's face turned red all of a sudden, and she was just teased: "I'm going to embroider it for you as next year's birthday gift, why did you arrange it on me again?"

Shen Shiqing still smiled: "Sister, make one for yourself, I know you like it."

Lin Miaozhen looked at the face of "Zhao Surui", and sighed lightly in her heart, she knew that her younger brother had not had a good time recently, and she couldn't push what she wanted to do, so she wanted to coax him to be happy, but she didn't expect to be coaxed back again.

"When I find my female officer, how can I shrink a map of your territory on the fabric, and I don't have to make a wide fabric."

Lin Miaozhen said casually, and Shen Shiqing's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Sister, I have something I want to ask you for help with, and it can be regarded as a birthday gift for me."

"What's the matter?"

Lin Miaozhen looked at "him" and saw that "Zhao Surui" actually smiled very happily.

"Shen Sanru, Shen Sanru, you steal my position, you don't really think that you can turn things upside down from now on, right? How? Do you want to revise Da Yong Law? Or do you want women to have land? Or can you let women also take the imperial examination and worship the prime minister from now on? Then it's really not enough for you to be an emperor, you have to be an immortal."

Zhao Surui, you're right.

Then I'll try it first.

"Sister, I want to ask you to go to the book, please let the inner study teach the palace maid to read."

Shen Shiqing said with a smile.
