509: The truest people
The number of officials in the Great Song Dynasty has reached an outrageous level.
So much so that everyone needs to keep pulling each other's skin and colluding with each other in order to brush out their few sense of existence.
Without the ruthlessness of the old Comrade Zhu peeling the skin and grass, the corruption of officials is naturally the blossoming of sesame seeds.
Zhao Zhen's face darkened, and he said, "Check!" Lv Qing! ”
There was anger in his voice, and it was obvious that he had endured it for a long time......
Since Wenfeng Village came back, the appearance of this Great Song Dynasty has become clearer in Zhao Zhen's heart, and he finally saw the current situation under the people...... Miserable!
Anyone can be like a mustard to the people, but the emperor can't!
This point, no matter what era the emperor, as long as it is not the kind that is mediocre to the home, will always keep this truth in mind.
Lu Yijian went out of class to obey orders.
Zhao Zhen said coldly: "Send someone to investigate immediately, and punish it heavily!" Don't let any of them go! ”
Lu Yijian responded, and Zhao Zhen sighed again: "Pity those people! It's freezing this day and they come out to fight for their lives, and I don't know what happened to them now? ”
Pang Ji came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, you have already started to make proper arrangements yesterday. ”
"Okay."
Zhao Zhen looked at Qin Wei and asked, "Has Cheng Er's family been settled?" ”
This was the first time the emperor saw the suffering after visiting the people. Cheng Er was naturally remembered by Zhao Zhen in his heart.
He is still an indecisive character, and he can't see anyone suffering, so he wants to be a promising emperor, but he can't break his heart and stand up.
Qin Wei knew about his problem, so he made a plan in advance, "Your Majesty, Cheng Er's family has been taken outside the imperial city by the ministers, and I want to let the officials in Beijing take a look...... What kind of life are the people at the bottom living? ”
Zhao Zhen got up and said: "I am the emperor, but I can't let the people live and work in peace and contentment...... Let's go, let's see. ”
These words seem to be self-blame, but they invisibly slap many people in the face.
Anyway, several of the Zaifu present felt that their faces were hot.
Xu Mao persuaded with some concern: "Your Majesty, just let his family come in." ”
Zhao Zhen shook his head and said: "I have seen that family, they are all ordinary and timid, if they come in and look at the majesty of these palace guards, those two children will definitely be afraid, so Zhu Qing will be kinder later, don't scare them." ”
The ministers answered.
After that, many courtiers were inexplicably summoned into the palace, and then everyone came to the outside of the imperial city.
Qin Wei deliberately dragged behind, and after Lu Yijian came over, he said, "What kind of clothes are Lu Gong's children wearing?" ”
Lu Yijian didn't speak with a cold face.
But Qin Wei didn't want to let him go, and asked again: "Xiaguan has no personal enmity with you, but I still want you to see that this Great Song Dynasty is still in danger...... Your little Langjun can spend a lot of money in the casino, even if he loses, it's nothing, these people...... Three points of thin fields is their lifeline! ”
"Shut up! Come with the old man! ”
He was still about to say something, so Wang Zhen slapped him from behind, and then went over first. Lu Yijian's eyes were already so cold that they could freeze to death, and if he muttered again, he would have a big enemy.
Qin Wei followed Wang Zhen and said with a smile: "I've finished eating the supplements I sent to you a few days ago, I got some old ginseng at home a few days ago, and I asked the housekeeper to send it to you later." ”
Wang Zhen is sixty-three this year, and according to the current average age, he is already a long life.
In the feudal era when there was a shortage of medical treatment, even Zaifu had limited medical care.
"The old man is in good health, you don't have to spend all that unjust money again."
Wang Zhen smiled first, then immediately coughed with a straight face, and said, "I was almost fooled by your kid again...... How many times has the old man told you, don't be too narrow-minded, otherwise you will be enemies in the future, how can you innovate? This temperament...... Learn to converge. ”
Qin Wei was stunned, then smiled, and there was a little coldness between his eyebrows: "The prince taught the younger generations to write it down, but most of them have no friends in this vanity fair, and some are just interests. But once something happens...... If you can have a few people to help, even if you haven't lived in vain in this life. It's the same with innovation, if you don't have allies who are close to you, no matter how many friends you have, it won't help. ”
Wang Zhen turned to look at him, and there was more praise in his eyes.
"Okay."
Wang Zhen agrees with this view, because he doesn't have many friends. If you have more friends who are hypocritical, it will only take time, and it is better to do things with that kind of work.
“…… He and Lu Yijian don't have any grudges, but they just can't get used to his commanding appearance, as if this Great Song Dynasty can't leave him. ”
Qin Wei muttered all the way, and in front of him was Xuande Gate.
Outside the Xuande Gate, Cheng Er stood timidly with a pair of children, he didn't understand why Shen An gave him new clothes last night, but today he took them back and let them wear the previous clothes.
When the most honorable group of people in the Great Song Dynasty appeared, a small official on the side shouted: "Your Majesty is here." ”
Cheng Er subconsciously pressed the child's head, "Kneel down quickly." ”
He was just a country man, and his impression of the emperor was all based on legends.
The majesty of the legendary emperor is not to be approached, even if someone says that His Majesty is merciful...... But who has seen that mercy?
The group of people looked mighty, and there was a majesty in their steps...... Even if you walk by, you can make ordinary people grovel in an instant.
Cheng Er was naturally afraid, and after he hurriedly pressed his children, he quickly knelt down and shouted, "Long live Your Majesty." ”
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty...... Long live Your Majesty! ”
The two children shouted as well, their bodies shivering in the cold wind...... A family of three, one big and two small, just knelt there.
"Get up."
Zhao Zhen asked someone to help them up from afar, and smiled when they got closer.
But just as he was about to speak, when his eyes turned, he saw that the clothes of this family of three were wrong...... When he was at Cheng Er's house yesterday, he noticed that something was wrong, and he will look at it today...... There was something wrong with the clothes.
"Why do you drum up here and bulge over there?"
Cheng Er was wearing a tattered short coat, and his children were also wearing tattered, but they looked bloated...... But if you wear it so thickly, why is it cold?
Qin Wei sighed in his heart and said, "Cheng Er, this is Your Majesty asking, you can answer honestly." ”
Cheng Er never dared to raise his head, so he didn't recognize the 'Your Majesty' in Qin Wei's mouth, which was actually the young Langjun who appeared at his house yesterday.
He said in a trembling voice: "Villain...... The villain stuffed something in it, that's why he ......"
Zhao Zhen saw that he was nervous, so he asked softly, "What is it?" ”
Cheng Er didn't say it for a long time, and his daughter snorted, "It's grass, hay." ”
Cheng Er's son was still young, he looked down and saw that there were many feet around, and he was afraid, so he shouted: "Don't rob my family's grass!" ”
Zhao Zhen blinked, and his speed gradually increased.
He sniffed and asked, "Why?" Why are you robbing your grass? ”
Cheng Er drank his son, and then slowly opened his chest, and the clumps of hay pierced into the eyes of the monarch and minister.
Zhao Zhen tilted his head and looked sad.
Cheng Er bowed his head and said: "The whole village didn't borrow money from the villain, so Li Dazhuang sent someone to destroy other people's homes, and then took away all the things to keep out the cold, and the villain couldn't do it, so he had to get hay to keep out the cold...... Actually......"
He glanced up and said, "The hay is warmer, much stronger than the reeds." ”
Zhao Zhen only felt that his chest was sore, and the tears couldn't help but flow.
"The people are suffering, I have suffered the people......"
This is a young and easily sensual emperor, so when everyone saw him crying, they couldn't persuade him, so they could only bow their heads to express their empathy.
Zhao Zhen gradually held back his tears, and saw that the shoes of the two children were tattered, and their toes were exposed and a little swollen, so he asked, "Why is this?" ”
"It's chilblains."
Qin Wei explained: "There are no socks to wear, the shoes are not thick enough, and they are torn, but fortunately, they are confined at home, if they are outside for a long time, their toes will be frozen." ”
"Chilblains?"
Zhao Zhen didn't know if this was normal, after all, he had never grown up, so he turned around and asked Xu Maoze: "Is there such a person with chilblains in the palace?" ”
This question is very embarrassing, and Xu Mao wants to perfunctory two sentences.
But when he saw Zhao Zhen's gloomy face, he knew that if His Majesty couldn't figure out this matter today, he would never stop.
So under Zhao Zhen's forced gaze, he had to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, every year." ”
"But you're short of clothes?"
Zhao Zhen's voice gradually became stern.
This is an opportunity for the strength to pit the opponent, once Xu Mao said that someone in the palace was deducted, then according to Zhao Zhen's current level of anger, that person would definitely not be far from death.
But at this moment, in front of everyone's eyes, Xu Mao is not too shameless, after all, this kind of public announcement of personal vendetta is only something that Qin Wei can do.
He said the truth with a wry smile: "Your Majesty is worried, the palace is stronger than the outside, and there will definitely be no shortage of clothes, but some of the people below are in poor condition, and they often work outside, so they will inevitably get a frostbite." ”
Zhao Zhen pointed at the two children and asked, "Is it so serious?" ”
"Nope!"
Not really!
Xu Mao said firmly: "At most, the hands and ears are longer, and the exposed places are longer." ”
After all, it is in the palace, and there are seven officials in front of the prime minister......
Zhao Zhen sighed: "I don't cover my body...... I'm ashamed of this so-called emperor! ”
Everyone lowered their heads unconsciously, and the scene seemed a little silent.
At this time, a gust of wind blew, Cheng Er's daughter was trembling, and everyone heard a strange sound, and when they looked closely, it was Cheng Er's family.
It's being knocked by cold teeth.
Zhao Zhen's heart was sour, it was not deep in love, he still wanted to sit at this time, Zhao Zhen reached out and unbuttoned his shirt, and then began to undress.
"Your Majesty......"
Everyone couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they saw this.
Today is a matter of deliberation between the monarch and the ministers, so Zhao Zhen changed into a narrow jacket with a red background and pale yellow in advance, who dares to wear this clothes?
Fortunately, it is not a big court meeting, otherwise it would be a serious dragon robe today......
This time, Xu Mao couldn't persuade him, he stopped Zhao Zhen's movements with a bitter face, and said, "Your Majesty, don't do it, this is against the etiquette law......"
Whoever dares to wear this dress in the Cheng Er family will be in big trouble in the future.
A certain wears the clothes of the Son of Heaven, do you want to die? If some ambition is born in the future, then today's compassion will turn into tomorrow's shame.
"Your Majesty, no, your minister."
