Outside Lin'an City, by the West Lake, on the official road in front of Fengle Building.

The harsh winter has not passed, the warm sun is shining on the body, lazy, some young spring clothes are thin, and some handsome men and women who love beauty have put on colorful brocade clothes and wandered on the West Lake.

"The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk, and Hangzhou is Bianzhou. These squirts, just after the New Year's Day, are already in a commotion, and they can't wait to come to the spring! ”

A man in his twenties, of medium stature, thin and stiff, carrying a burden, he shook his head disdainfully as he looked at the singing and laughter coming from the West Lake.

Looking at his washed white gown and the old boots on his feet, they all show his identity as a shabby scholar.

The young scholar is called Yu Jue, his ancestral home is Qichun County, Qizhou, Huainan West Road, after the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, his ancestors lived with their families, lived everywhere, and then returned to Qizhou to settle down.

Although Yu Jue's family is poor, he is talented, and he once studied at the Bailudong Academy in Jiangxi, the first of the four major academies.

"Brother Yu, what a coincidence!"

On the official road, a scholar came over, neat and tidy, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, full of heroism, he smiled and bowed to Yu Jue.

"Brother Du Xian, I didn't expect you to arrive first!"

Yu Jue bowed his hand, and he was also overjoyed.

This person's name is Du Shu, and he is also a student of Taixue, and he and Yu Jue are friends of Taixue. His father, Du Gao, served as a county magistrate in Jiangshan County, Quzhou Prefecture, on Liangzhejiang East Road. Yu Jue and Du Shu have been classmates for two years, have similar interests and have a great friendship.

"Brother Yu, although the festival is over, the fun has not diminished, let's go in and have a drink."

Du Shu pulled Yu Yu and was about to walk to Fengle Building.

"Forget it, just make do outside. How much money can you have? ”

Yu Jue was startled and quickly shook his head and refused.

This Fengle Lou has a meal, but it is his expenses for half a year. Even Du Shu, the son of an official eunuch, does not have the financial resources.

"Brother Yu, I'm having a treat, and I don't want you to pay for it, what are you afraid of?"

Du Shu couldn't help but say, and pulled Yu Yu to walk inside.

The cold winter is gone, and the spring and scenery are rare and the sun is shining, which cannot live up to the good youth.

"Okay, it's your treat. However, when I soar, I will invite you to come every day! ”

Yu Jue's body is very honest, and he has not forgotten to amplify his words.

"Okay, I remember. When you get ahead, you have to invite me every day. ”

Du Shu laughed. This classmate has great ambitions, although he is now down, but he has a divine mouth and never loses to others in momentum.

"Brother Xian, I see your eyebrows fluttering, is there something good? Have you been dismissed? ”

Noticing that Du Shu's face was full of red light, and his emotions were high, which seemed to be different from the past, Yu Jue's curiosity suddenly rose.

When the new emperor ascends the throne, there are always some unexpected surprises.

"Brother Yu has good eyesight. But it's not that I'm letting go, it's my father who has been promoted. ”

Du Shu was young and straightforward, and he couldn't hide something in his heart, so he said it immediately.

"Uncle Du is promoted, congratulations!"

Yu Jue nodded, and her heart was also excited.

"Uncle Du is a great talent, but it's a pity that he is depressed. Is this really a great thing! ”

He looked at Du Shu and said tentatively:

"Is my uncle promoted to Jiangshan County Commander, or is there another high position?"

Du Shu's father, Du Gao, served as a county magistrate in Jiangshan County, and wanted to go to the next level, which was for the county order.

According to his father, he will be appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou, and the deputy envoy of Huaidong, replacing Zhao Fan, the former prefect of Yangzhou, who was demoted. Now, my father has entered Beijing to face the saint. ”

The joy on Du Shu's face couldn't be hidden.

Zhao Fan, the former prefect of Yangzhou, and Zhao Kui, the capital of Yangzhou, were dismissed by the emperor, and the new Jiangnan East Road system made Wang Gang have some friendship with his father, and recommended his father to Yangzhou to the emperor, but he didn't expect it to really happen.

"Yangzhou Prefect! Huaidong system deputy envoy! Uncle Du? ”

Yu Jue's heart was shocked, and a pair of eyeballs almost fell out.

From a small inland county, he has become a feudal official in the border area. It's pie in the sky...... See the light at the end of the tunnel!

"Good, good! Dapeng rose with the wind one day and soared up to 90,000 miles. Sure enough, it's a new dynasty and a new atmosphere! When today's son is thirsty for talent, he is indeed a generation of saints! ”

Yu Jue sighed again and again, he suddenly smiled and patted Du Shu's shoulder.

"No wonder you're inviting me. Today I want to let go of eating, how can I get a month's money from the Yangzhou prefect! ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Yu, the will of the imperial court has not yet come down, and there is no conclusion on the coffin, so it is too early to say this. However, if you let go of eating today, brother, I will take care of it! ”

Du Shu was heroic and patted his chest.

"What a fuss! With Uncle Du's talent, if he can't vacate the Yangzhou prefect, no one in the world can do it! The emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is the time to employ people, Uncle Du will not give in, and I will follow in the future. Put your heart back in your belly! ”

Yu Jue pointed at Du Shu and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Brother Xian! Your guests will not be invited in vain today. I bet with you that Uncle Du will be safe in office. Otherwise, I'll ask you twice! ”

"Brother Yu, borrow your auspicious words!"

Du Shu was also excited, and the two joined forces and stepped into the restaurant.

"Brother Xian, have you noticed that this Fengle Building seems to be much more deserted?"

The two came in and sat down, Yu Jue looked around and said curiously.

Just after the New Year's Day, those slutty men and sluts should all come out to wander. If you want to put it on weekdays, this Fengle Building is already bustling.

Now that I think about it, there seem to be a lot fewer sluts and girls playing on the West Lake, and they are also a lot more deserted.

"It seems to be a lot quieter, even the birds and crickets are gone, and it is much cleaner!"

Du Shu laughed, heartless.

"Really!"

Yu Jue looked around, a little surprised.

"Brother Yu, it's nothing, maybe it's some new policy in the imperial court, it's not a bad thing after all."

Du Shu's unintentional words were immediately picked up by the guy who added tea.

"You're right, this big official. The imperial court promulgated a large number of new laws and regulations, strictly prohibiting fighting birds and crickets from binding their feet, and even tea fighting was prohibited! If this continues, the restaurant's business will collapse! ”

The guy shook his head and complained, and Yu Jue and Du Shu both widened their eyes.

It turned out to be a law promulgated by the imperial court, no wonder the restaurant was much quieter, there were no birds or crickets.

"Man, the imperial court prohibits fighting birds and crickets, which doesn't seem to have much to do with the business of your restaurant."

Du Shu thought for a moment and asked curiously.

Fighting birds and crickets are generally in a fixed place, rarely placed in restaurants, and do not seem to have an impact on the business of restaurants.

"Two big officials, it seems that you really don't know something. The imperial court also promulgated a decree to build the Jinling Lecture Hall and the Jinling University Hall in Jinling, and the Jinling Lecture Hall was headed by the emperor and enrolled more than 1,000 students. As for the Jinling University Hall, it was to train future officials, and most of the powerful children of Lin'an City were driven in. You say, can the business of the restaurant be good? ”

The man's complaint made Yu Jue and Du Shu's eyes widen.

"Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, more than 1,000 people, official ...... The emperor is the headmaster......"

Yu Jue's heart was beating wildly, his hand holding the teacup was trembling, and some of the tea was spilled.

Such a big thing has happened in Lin'an City, and he is still burying his head in history, he is really stupid enough!

"No wonder it's so deserted! The children of the powerful people in Lin'an City have all gone to Jinling, and the business of your restaurant is not as good as before! ”

Du Shu reacted from the shock and snorted coldly, a little gloating.

Fengle Lou is so famous and so expensive, he, the son of the county, can't come a few times a year, let alone those ordinary people.

"However, in addition to those scumbags, there are so many officials, and there are so many forbidden troops, your restaurant business will not be so deserted, right?"

Du Shu rolled his eyes and asked again.

"Great official, you really don't know anything!"

A guest at the next table picked up.

"Half of the forbidden army around Lin'an City has been assigned to the border, plus the old, weak, sick, disabled, and vacant quotas that have been screened out, and now the forbidden army around Lin'an City is afraid that it is less than four. The emperor went to Jiangnan East Road to implement the new policy, and many businessmen were moved by the wind and went to Jinling one after another. This does not bode well! ”

After the guest had finished speaking, his companion continued:

"I heard that the emperor advocated frugality, strictly forbade extravagance and waste, and ate and drank excessively, and the ladies in the palace were all dressed in coarse cloth. The court also set up an anti-corruption department to investigate corruption. You say, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, do they dare to come out and show off the market? ”

The words of the two guests made Yu Jue and Du Shu both stunned for a long time, speechless for a while.

In less than two months, the imperial court has changed so much.

Jinling Lecture Martial Arts Hall, Sailor School, the new official took office with three fires, and the new emperor is going to show his strength and reorganize his armament.

Jiangnan East Road implements a new deal, what is the new deal? Is it true?

"This new emperor is not allowed to call him an official, bring the "Song Wang Jian" to the court, and remove those big turbans when the palace is really a powerful lord! ”

Some guests shook their heads, and the topic turned to Zhao Hong again.

"Not really! I heard that the emperor punched and kicked that day, slashed and stabbed with guns, and killed Shi Miyuan's dog legs all over the ground, and Shi Miyuan was half dead. This new emperor is strong enough! ”

The eyes of the guests were full of envy.

"Shi Miyuan, a dog thief, has brought disaster to the country and the people, made the heavens angry and resentful, and the people are miserable, and now he has finally suffered retribution. Deserve! ”

Another guest scolded fiercely.

Yu Jue and Du Shu are both swaying in their hearts. The new emperor is wise and martial, full of courage, which is amazing.

"The new emperor is still too soft-hearted, and he didn't kill the Shi family and uproot it. And that Zhao Guicheng, the heir of King Yi, is delusional, and it is not a good thing! In the end, he became a prince and went to the fiefdom of Ningguo County. I can't figure it out! ”

"If you want me to say, the worst is the Empress Dowager Yang. has a bad stomach, is embarrassed to be in trouble with Shi Miyuan, and in the end there is no! ”

"Be quiet! If the official hears it, he can't eat and walk around! ”

"Afraid of what? Now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, can Shi Miyuan turn the sky upside down? In a few days, this old thief will be beheaded! ”

In the midst of the chatter of the people, a commotion sounded, and immediately after, several soap officials walked in, including female officials. They went upstairs into the pavilion, walked around, looked at everyone carefully, and told the shopkeeper Xiao Er, and then turned around and left.

"What are these soapmen doing?"

Du Shu asked curiously.

"What else can I do? Check the cockfighting, cricket fighting, and tea, and all those who have gambling money will be arrested. Those female officials are specially inspected for women's foot binding, and they are fined a lot! Check and check, and the business is still not let people do it? ”

Xiao Er muttered angrily.

Du Shu and Yu Jue looked at each other, and they both smiled.

The move of the New Deal seems to be really disturbing to the people. But the sluggish wind in Lin'an City must be rectified. Arrogance and sluggishness are not what Qingming politics should be.

"I hope it's not a show, just a taste."

Du Shu shook his head and said with emotion.

The Great Song Dynasty was full of chaos, and anything strange could happen. I hope that the new emperor's new policy can be adhered to.
