Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Business is much worse on the first Tuesday of every month, I've noticed.  Why is this nirvana?  Asking for answers, asking for votes, asking for any kind of turnaround!  !  !

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Liang Feng didn't want to tell Zhao Zhen about the cause of Sun Xi's illness. He told the truth. It was inevitable that he would be snitching and adding insult to injury. He didn't think it was necessary to cover it up for him. It was too low-level to betray such a favor. He simply gave a vague answer.  .  The most important thing is to prevent yourself from gradually falling into the category of slanderous ministers and villains.  Telling this thing too much can become addictive, and if you do it for a long time, the private relationship between himself and Zhao Zhen as equal friends will be over, and it will completely turn into a hug, which his self-esteem can't stand.  So no matter how much he bothered Sun Shi, he was not willing to expose his shortcomings behind his back.  So he smiled and said: "He said it was wind-cold. Of course it was wind-cold. What else could it be?"

    "He and Cai Qi said something different."

    "Then let's take what I say as the standard."

    ¡°Zhao Zhen was just gossiping, he wasn¡¯t serious at first, so he just let it go when he saw him doing Tai Chi.  Back to the topic: "Tell me, what's going on with your self-governance, Cai Qi even impeached you."

    "Hey, those officials have this problem, they like to make a fuss out of molehills." Liang Manman said nonchalantly and introduced the situation once he finished speaking.  Zhao Zhen listened carefully.  He was very puzzled and said: "There is nothing wrong with this. Cai Qi said it so seriously. Oh. I remembered it. He said that Xue Pan held fines and could only go in and out. Although he had account books, he was in charge alone.  He is suspected of being greedy for ink. I mentioned it to you, but you didn't want to pay attention to it."

    "I want to know what Cai Qi thinks of Xue Pan?" Liang Feng asked seriously.  Cai Qi said to his face that he knew Xue Pan was not honest.  But he also wanted to know what Zazili said.  Zhao Zhen replied that it did not involve Xue Pan's character and was just discussing the matter.  Liang Feng listened and nodded, thinking that Cai Zisi was a gentleman after all, and would not involve others when he was having trouble with him.

    "Actually, the Imperial College in my mind should not look like what it is now. Since the imperial court has spent so much money, and there are some of the most knowledgeable people in the world, and the students are all from official families, they are not as good as those from poor families. Then it should be  That kind of vitality and prosperity. The country's virtuous people are all gathered together, learning articles, learning to be a person, learning to be an official, and learning to serve the country and the people. Even if the good and the bad are mixed. After all, it is right that a grain of rice cannot cover up the brilliance of the sun and the moon. But now look at this huge place,  There are only twenty or thirty schoolchildren, and among them, less than ten are willing to work hard. The original lecturers all refused to go to the hall to give lectures. The great treasure of the country has become a place where dogs and cats are flying around. Officials should not think about it.  The reason?"

    Zhao Zhen nodded thoughtfully and said: "What you said makes sense. Our dynasty used the old system and established the Imperial College, which cost a lot of money. I originally wanted to accumulate talents for the country. Alas, in these years, there have been many internal and external conflicts, and the place has become more and more inconspicuous.  . Sun Zonggu seems to be too old for me to manage much. Liang Feng, I have wronged you. How about you come to the Hanlin Academy in a while? Become a bachelor of Zhizhigao, so that you can talk to me all the time.  Talk!" He was full of apologies, feeling that he had followed Liang Feng's wishes but had left him out in the cold, and wanted to make up for it.

    Liang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is that what I mean? Don't misunderstand me! Tell you, I am telling you this because I want to make a big difference here and make the Imperial College truly a holy place for scholars that gathers the world's talents.  . But you are not as vulgar as you, just thinking about getting promoted and getting rich!"

    Zhao Zhen was so robbed by him that he giggled: "It's a pleasure to talk to you. You are never like other people. You never talk to me with a straight face and those useless official accents. I feel comfortable scolding you! Hehe, if you dare to scold officials, they only care about promotion and wealth.  You, Liang Yutian, are the only one in the world who can tell such nonsense!"

    The two looked at each other and laughed, very happily.  From a distance, Li Shibin stretched out his head to look over, then retracted, secretly happy in his heart. After all, it was Liang Tanhua's arrival that made the official family so happy!

    Zhao Zhen gradually stopped laughing and said, "Then what do you want me to do? How can I help you?"

    "I don't want to embarrass you. Just tell the ministers what Cai Zisi said and ask them to discuss it. My method has many flaws. It would be a good thing if we can pool our wisdom and support it." After hearing this, Zhao Zhen nodded.  He nodded, then suddenly shook his head quickly and said: "No, no, you don't know how powerful Yushitai is. It has a red mouth and white teeth. It's hard to resist people who spray it. Then you will be disgraced. It's too bad."  It¡¯s not cost-effective. Let¡¯s do this, I ordered Wang Xianggong and the others to draw up an edict, allowing you to temporarily replace Sun Zonggu as the judge of the Imperial College. You can oust Chen Xin on your own. If anything happens, I will take care of it for you!¡± At this time, Zhao Zhen could finally pat his chest to protect his beams.  I'm rich, I finally found some feeling of being a boss, it's great!

    ¡°It doesn¡¯t matter, they¡¯ll do what they do, and I¡¯ll do mine secretly. Don¡¯t worry, I promise to make them speechless when the time comes!¡± Liang Feng said with a chuckle.  Zhao Zhen saw his smile and felt reassured.  He is interested in Liang FengIf you believe it under certain conditions, since this brother is sure, he will win.  In a good mood, he blurted out: "Okay, if he's a bitch, just do it casually and give me a sigh of relief when the time comes!"

    Liang Feng almost burst out. It turns out that this frustrated official can also speak nonsense.

    The two had been joking for a long time. If Liang Feng refused to go home, he was afraid of being criticized by others, so he packed up and left.  After Zhao Zhen saw him off, he continued to stay in Funing Hall to review the memorial. Yan Wenying came in gently: "Guan family, the eldest princess has returned to the palace."

    "Oh, my sister is back? Haha, are you a little happier this time?" Zhao Zhen was in a better mood when he heard that his favorite sister was back and asked quickly.

    "It seems that she is still not very happy. I heard that the Queen Mother also had no relationship with her, but she just refused to comply. The old Queen Mother is very worried." Yan Wen responded.

    "Alas!" Zhao Zhen sighed.  My relationship with my wife is not going well, there is a girl who refuses to marry, and the housework is very annoying!

    Since the last time Li Shunrong and his daughter sneaked into the palace by bypassing Xia Song's interception force under the protection of Yang Wenguang, Zhao Miaoyuan has not been happy for a moment.  Last time at the imperial mausoleum, Li Shunrong looked at Yang Wenguang and liked him quite a lot. He was a handsome boy and came from a famous family. He secretly planned to give Miao Yuanshang to Yang Wenguang, but when he inquired later, he said that the unlucky boy was already married.  I was greatly disappointed, so I had no choice but to give it up.

    Returning to the palace, she met Zhao Zhen¡¯s mother and son, and the Queen Mother rolled up the curtain to reveal a series of events.  Li first gave the concubine as a gift, and then Liu E saw that the time was almost up, so she ordered Zhao Zhen to give Li the title of Queen Mother.  Zhao Zhen felt that this should be the case, but Li refused in every possible way and only said that she was originally a palace maid of the Queen Mother and came from a humble background. By chance, she was blessed by the late emperor and was born into an official family.  Right and wrong have been separated, so we dare not recognize each other for eighteen years.  Today, with the grace of the Queen Mother, she was given the gift of living in the palace, the reunion of mother and son, and the gift of a concubine. She had no other extravagant hopes in this life, not to mention that the late Emperor's legacy, Concubine Yang, was in front of her, so how could he keep up with the Queen Mother?  Life and death will not allow it!

    Li's knowledge of advancement and retreat won Liu E's favor even more.  We must know that the Li family was able to survive eighteen years after giving birth to Zhao Zhen. Although Liu E had the grace not to kill him, she first hid in the harem and then accompanied the imperial mausoleum, but she kept a low profile and tolerated it.  For the past eighteen years, Liu E has always been under the prying eyes of Liu E. If she dared to express even the slightest hint of sadness, she would be dismembered immediately.  The fact that she was able to survive such a long period of time unharmed shows how cautious she is in handling things.  How could it be possible to accept the title of Zhao Zhen at this time?

    But in this way, her daughter Miaoyuan became more popular with Liu E. Recently, Liu E took Miaoyuan with her when she was traveling with the Li family and the Yang family.  Miao Yuan is kind and gentle by nature, and Liu E has grown to like him sincerely.  Seeing that she was so old and didn't even have a consort yet, he took care of it himself.  Unexpectedly, Miaoyuan was not happy with the selection of men from seven or eight families in a row.  And he became increasingly worried and haggard.  Liu E felt pity and asked, but Miao Yuan only said that he did not want to get married, but wanted to live quietly and practice Taoism.

    Liu E was reluctant to agree at first, and Li cried and tried to persuade her, but Miao Yuan was very stubborn about this and refused to agree.  Mrs. Li deliberately suppressed her, but she cried like pear blossoms and rain.  Everyone had no choice but to drag it out like this.  During this period, Zhao Zhen also took the time to care and ask questions many times. Miao Yuan wanted to open up his heart to his brother, but he only talked about the matter of men and women. He thought that in the previous dynasty, there were many princesses who became nuns and crowned, but he only took care of his hair and practiced cultivation, so he didn't realize it.  No matter what, please don¡¯t force her, brother.  Zhao Zhen was helpless.

    This time, after being away for more than a month, she returned to the palace alone. Although Zhao Zhen was happy, he still stared blankly when he heard about it, so naturally he became worried again.

    "Oh, how on earth is she going to give birth?"

    "Officials, I heard that the eldest princess has informed the Empress Dowager and the Dowager Concubine that she wants to move out of the palace and live alone for a period of time. She begs her every day, and the Empress Dowager seems to be moved." Yan Wen responded.

    "Call her here and I'll ask her face to face." Zhao Zhen was very angry that the girl was ignorant.

    Zhao Zhen sat waiting for Zhao Miaoyuan to come over to meet him. Not long after, Zhao Miaoyuan went to the palace surrounded by several palace maids.  When Zhao Zhen saw it, he was angry and hurt, and said: "Why are you dressed like this?"

    Zhao Miaoyuan has a strand of long hair in a bun at the center of his head, and his hair hangs down like a waterfall beside his ears. He is wearing a green mandarin jacket, a moon-white robe underneath, and a yellow ribbon around his waist.  Although it is a palace costume, it looks like a female Taoist priest.  All that's missing is the yellow crown whisk.

    "Brother, do you look good?" Zhao Miaoyuan smiled brightly, and his plain face was as charming as the spring breeze.  Zhao Zhen was so amused by her cute appearance that he could only snort and said: "What's the good of pretending to be a ghost all day long? You are a daughter and a princess, so you should be rich and noble. This dress, you wear it occasionally  It¡¯s just for fun, but it¡¯s not allowed to be worn every day.¡±

    "My sister is asking for something from the emperor. Can you wait until I finish speaking and teach you a lesson?" Zhao Miaoyuan pouted softly and said coquettishly.  Zhao Zhen wondered: This is not seeing throughThe world looks like this, is it really just for fun?  Shunzui asked: "Whatever you want, just ask."

    "Brother, my sister has received the grace of the Queen Mother and the Dowager Princess, who promised to build a Taoist temple for her and allow me to live in Qing Dynasty for a while. How about you, can you give me one as a reward?"

    Zhao Zhen was startled: "This is unreasonable. How can the Queen Mother and the Dowager allow you to fool around? Don't try to make money off me!" (To be continued)
