Chapter 37 How bad can the Ministry of Work be?
"Trouble Lady Liu, I have something important to tell the empress here."
"Lord Zheng, the empress really gave a special order, if you come, you will be stopped first."
Zheng Xiu and Liu Rou were staring at each other with big eyes at this moment, and neither of them gave in.
Zheng Xiu didn't know what the empress was smoking, he watched several people go in, but he was stopped outside by Liu Rou.
And the attitude of the other side is very resolute, even if he has been grinding and soaking for a long time, the other side has no intention of letting go.
In that case, then there is only one trick.
"Ji Qing, you faint king! The Great Xia Kingdom is now full of holes and tatters, and you still don't allow loyal ministers to admonish! ”
"If the ancestors know, what kind of face do you have to meet the first emperor? What kind of face do you have to go to your fathers and fathers? ”
"Why can other people go, I, Zheng Xiu, will go to something else, am I Zheng Xiu not as good as others?"
Liu Rou didn't seem to realize that Zheng Xiu would shout in this palace like a shrew scolding the street if she didn't agree.
In a hurry, she wanted to block Zheng Xiu's mouth with her own hand, but as soon as she put her hand on, she regretted it.
Even if it's urgent, you shouldn't make such a rude move.
"Lord Zheng, calm down, now the empress is discussing your affairs inside, so she won't let you in for the time being."
"But the empress still has you in her heart, so please stop your rude behavior quickly."
But Zheng Xiu doesn't care about that, after all, for the sake of the common people in the world, scolding the emperor awake, isn't this a proper and righteous thing, if the empress is so provoked and wants to kill him, wouldn't it be better?
Liu Rou saw that Zheng Xiu not only did not stop, but became a little more intense, and she was a little overwhelmed.
After all, in fact, from the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Zheng Xiu to have an accident.
After all, there are not many people who have the ability and courage to share His Majesty's worries.
Even if the empress didn't say it, she still felt it, and the empress still cared more about the feelings of this Lord Zheng.
If this Lord Zheng was executed by the angry empress before he was squeezed dry, the empress would have been uncomfortable for a long time.
"Empress, let me tell you, you are a**, you *** ***, you ***"
Just when Zheng Xiu felt a little upset, a pearl hairpin flew out of it.
With an incomparably strong wind, it poked Zheng Xiu's eyes.
At this time, Zheng Xiu felt that his temples were beating wildly, as if the end was approaching.
A short distance can make him feel everything around him.
For example, Liu Rou's nervous and eager expression, the empress sitting in the window paper and a large number of white-bearded old men.
There was also a grandmother who was slowly withdrawing her hand.
Is this what it's like to die? Zheng Xiu thought a little uncertainly, and he felt that he even had time to write an epitaph now.
But at this moment, a strand of hair hit the bead hairpin first.
In an instant, Zheng Xiu was out of that half-dead state.
directly fixed the bead hairpin on the ground, and even nailed the whole bead hairpin inside.
Only one entangled pearl was left outside, trembling incessantly.
"Since Zheng Aiqing insists on coming in, then let him in, it just so happens that these people want to take a good look at this incognito Confucian."
As the empress's words fell, Liu Rou outside no longer blocked her, and by the way, she also withdrew her hand.
And after Zheng Xiu walked in, before he could speak, he was already looked up and down by a group of old men.
He felt that these old men were not ordinary old men, and their eyes could even penetrate a person's heart.
"It turns out that this is Lord Zheng, who has recently become famous, let me introduce you to these people."
"The sacrificial wine of the Jixia School Palace, the contemporary Confucian Mengyu of Confucianism."
"The mountain chief of Wulu Academy, Han Geng, the representative of the Legalists."
"The mountain chief of Jinghu Academy, the representative of the Mo family, Moyi."
"The mountain chief of Ci'an Academy, Li Yan, the representative of Taoism."
These people just introduced themselves briefly, did not delay Zheng Xiu's time, and even took the initiative to signal that he could do what he wanted.
Seeing them like this, Zheng Xiu was sure that they didn't owe him any money, but he decided to report the problem of weights and measures first.
Now that they have behaved amiable enough, they must not embarrass themselves because of this.
"Your Majesty, the lower officials have something to report, this matter is related to the whole country of Great Xia, up to the Son of Heaven, down to the common people, no one is not affected by this matter!"
Although the empress, who had been scolded for a long time, had just secretly rescued Yan Shu, she would not give him any good looks.
just nodded slightly, and said with some disapproval: "Since this is the case, please tell me what is going on." ”
"I don't know ...... about weights and measures."
Although Zheng Xiu's words were not finished, the meaning was also obvious, that is, these old men, Ou No, Da Confucian, have no qualifications to listen.
As a result, before the empress could speak, the old man of the Mo family next to her spoke first.
"Our Mo family has heard about this matter for a long time, and it was the time when the famine was repeated, so we started to improve people's livelihood from the top of weights and measures, and our Mo family is very recognized, and there are many benefits in this, the most obvious is that it can better meet the people."
After Mo Yi, the representative of the Mo family, finished speaking, he even hugged his fists very reverently.
"The first emperor is really eloquent, even this method can be imagined, and the means of dealing with political affairs are really like spring breeze and rain."
Although Mo Yi's sycophants were shot very well, the empress did not look useful at all, but her face became even more ugly.
"We Mojia have been checking weights and measures every year, and we have found that the deviation of each time is extremely small, even less than one percent, but in the past twenty years, it should be able to reach about one percent."
With the exit of the word "Yicheng", the face of the empress, who was already ugly, instantly turned extremely blue.
"Her Majesty the Empress first punished a group of corrupt officials and found a large amount of silver, coupled with the accumulation of these twenty years, it must be able to bring our Xia Kingdom to a new peak."
After this sentence was finished, Meng Yu next to him kept pulling Mo Yi's clothes and signaled him not to say anything yet.
"Alas, Meng Yu, what are you always doing with me, didn't you say before that this is a good move, can it be described as a shocking move?"
"Enough!" / "Enough! "/"Enough! ”
