Early the next morning, Jia Huan got up early to wash.

Now that the prince has returned, he can no longer skip work happily, and the days of arriving late and leaving early to work a few days ago will be gone forever.

After having breakfast in a hurry, Jia Huan drove to the East Palace, and just arrived at the duty room to sit down.

It is estimated that he is going to be investigated for being late and leaving early, Jia Huan rehearsed the wording he had thought of in advance.

After a short time, he followed Liu Xing to the prince's study.

Seeing the prince, Jia Huan saluted and said, "Your Royal Highness the prince will see the lower officials." ”

The prince hurriedly came over to help Jia Huan and said, "Jia Shou doesn't need to be polite, sit down and talk." ”

Hey? Jia Huan obviously felt that the prince had a good attitude, and it didn't look like he was going to investigate his faults.

Jia Huan thought thoughtfully, probably because the prince had seen some truths in Lijia Village in the past few days.

Combined with the prince's performance in the court yesterday, it can be inferred that the prince no longer trusts those ministers. On the contrary, it was a change in attitude towards himself, a little waiter who dared to speak the truth.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan unconsciously put up the shelf.

After the two sat down, the prince couldn't help but ask for advice: "Jia Shiyu, it's just that those Wenchen deceived the palace for their own selfishness." Why is it that even the book does not mention the suffering of the people in detail? Please also sir teach me. ”

Hearing this question, Jia Huan smiled slightly, and confirmed more and more that his guess was right.

He couldn't help but say: "Your Highness, please ask His Royal Highness the Prince, who wrote the book that His Highness reads?" ”

Hearing this question, the prince's face couldn't help but show a thoughtful look.

Jia Huan continued: "All books are written by literati. They are either high up and have never experienced the suffering of the people. Or for the sake of selfish interests, they turn a blind eye to the suffering of the people. ”

"In their eyes, the people are untouchables, how can they ever take them to heart?"

"The main reason why the prince can't see the real people's suffering in the book is because no one speaks up for the people. Those who can speak are all scholars. If the history books are all written by the people, how can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not see the suffering of the people? ”

Rumble!

Jia Huan's words were like a thunderbolt, resounding in the prince's mind.

No one speaks for the people, and those who can speak are all scholars.

It turns out that this is the real reason. The people can't convey their own voices at all, and how can they hear them if they don't go to the people to experience it themselves?

Thinking of this, the prince couldn't help but get up and thanked Jia Huan: "Mr. Gaoyi, please accept the bows of this palace." ”

Jia Huan hurriedly got up to avoid it, and said helplessly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tortures the lower officials, how dare you accept the gift of the Prince?" ”

The prince couldn't help but say: "Jia Shiyu once said that reading is to: establish a heart for heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, continue to learn for the saints, and open peace for all generations." ”

"Jia Shi must believe in his words and do what he does, not only do he say so, but he also does this. Jia Shiyu used words to provoke the palace, and let the palace go to the people to experience the sufferings of the people. ”

"If it weren't for this, how would the palace know that those civil officials were all coaxing the palace. It turns out that the life of the common people is so difficult? ”

"It turns out that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and only Mr. is dedicated to the people, who is truly willing to speak up for the people and make a life for the people."

"Sir is so righteous, how can he not stand the worship of this palace?"

Jia Huan was a little embarrassed to be praised by the prince, what I said was just a human design. Do you understand the character design?

And he coaxed the prince to experience the suffering of the people, but he didn't really want to make a life for the people.

Even if he really had this heart, but he was only a small Hanlin, how could he do this?

How much ability he has to do great things, the reason why he coaxed the prince to experience the suffering of the people was completely forced by the emperor.

Of course, the truth can never be told.

Thinking of this, Jia Huan couldn't help but sigh and said: "Although Weichen has this heart, but he is soft-spoken, he has no choice but to make this plan to deceive the prince, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive his sins." ”

The prince laughed and said, "Mr. Gaoyi, what is the crime? In the future, there are still many things to ask Mr. in this palace, and I hope that Mr. will give advice. ”

Jia Huan hurriedly said: "The title of Mr. will never dare to be a lower official." However, if His Highness has any inquiries, His Highness will do my best and dare not hide anything. ”

Next, the prince really asked Jia Huan many questions.

These questions were all doubts that arose when the prince went to Lijia Village for a few days.

And Jia Huan really knew everything and said everything, which made the prince praise him again and again.

……

At this time, in the Jinluan Palace, a great court meeting was held again.

There is only one topic for this court meeting, that is, the imperial court is preparing to select a pilot county in the early stage of the reform.

And this pilot county was chosen in Ping'an County.

Ping'an County is only more than 50 miles away from the capital, which can be said to be easy to reach by horse.

Ping'an County has convenient transportation, not only by the wharf, but also by the official road.

Ping'an County has more than 15,000 households and a population of 112,000.

Chongkangdi has decided to use Ping'an County as a pilot county to implement the reform, and now the topic of the Great Dynasty Meeting is to elect the county order of Ping'an County.

The original county order of Ping'an County, the examination was sealed, and Emperor Chongkang decided to transfer him to the Ministry of Industry.

If you are lucky, you will be delegated to a local post again, and then transferred to a Beijing official, it can be said that you will rise to the top and your future will be limitless.

Of course, this transfer is not the point.

The focus is on the issue of the new county candidates in Ping'an County.

The selection of new counties is so important that it can affect whether the change is carried out smoothly, at least it will affect the speed of the change.

Both conservatives and reformists are vying for the position.

If it is won over by conservatives, it goes without saying that after taking office, it will be impossible to work and deliberately mess up the errand. It is not known that this will delay the implementation of the change, or even use it to cancel the change.

And the reformists must win this position, because it is related to whether the first game of the beginning of the change can be carried out smoothly.

As long as the beginning is carried out smoothly, the work behind will be less troublesome.

The conservatives were outnumbered, while the reformists were supported by the emperor.

Therefore, the two sides quarreled.

Emperor Chongkang watched coldly and did not speak.

The matter of choosing a person must not be satisfactory to the conservatives.

The county order of Ping'an County must be a reformist talent, and it must also be a young talent with the ability, means and courage.

And Chongkangdi's cold bystander is actually to see who the conservatives want to protect.

What are the conservatives who are stubborn, overwhelmed, and must be thrown out?

Those can be divided and co-opted.

And those who are capable of being available temporarily.

In the end, this time the court meeting failed to select qualified candidates, and the officials broke up unhappily.
