Chapter 381 The Emperor's Mind

Chapter 381 The Emperor's Mind

Xia Di flipped through the memorial and suddenly snorted coldly.Eunuch Qin's expression on the side was as usual, his eyes didn't move at all.

During this period of time, Xia Di has been like this several times, and the reasons are nothing more than a few points: either because of the misbehavior of the rich and powerful, or the impeachment of the powerful by the civil officials, it always makes Xia Di's head big.

These are just trivial matters, but they cannot be ignored.

In addition, Xia Di's temper is relatively quick, and he has lost his anger several times, and many officials and nobles have been reprimanded.

After being reprimanded, those dignitaries became honest, at least for the time being.However, after those civil servants were reprimanded, they seemed to have received great encouragement. During this period, the number of memorials to impeach various dignitaries has nearly doubled.

Although the power of civil servants has risen at the beginning, there has been a tendency to be proud of offending the emperor and being honored by the imperial staff.

To put it simply, it is seeking fame, at all costs, regardless of right or wrong.Anyway, no matter how angry the emperor was, he couldn't kill all the civil servants who were impeached. In this way, not only would the court be unstable, but the emperor would also be accused of being a faint king.

This is especially true for an emperor like Xia Di who has aspirations!

Xia Di is an immediate emperor, has been deeply involved in the people, and is more like an official who does practical things.However, even though the civil service group has officials who do practical things, there are not a few officials who talk about it.

Moreover, seeking fame is what most officials pursue all their lives. If they can leave a name in history, they will not hesitate to smash their lives.

Xia Di hated these people very much, but he couldn't give up completely.Because these scholars not only represent the level of 'scholar', but also represent the public opinion and aspirations of the people.

In the feudal era, when imperial power could not go to the countryside, scholars were the most grassroots rulers, and the common people believed in what they said.

This is limited by the times, and no one can do anything about it.

Even if a person as strong as Xia Taizu killed 16 officials at all levels in his lifetime, it can be said to be extremely strong.But even when he was in power, he couldn't curb the prestige of scholars among the people.

"Snapped!"

Xia Di angrily threw a memorial out. Eunuch Qin's eyelids twitched, and he went down without saying a word, picked up the memorial on the ground, and quietly put it aside.

As for the content of the memorial, he didn't watch it at all.

Eunuch Qin was able to serve as the head of the inner court for more than ten years in front of an emperor like Xia Di, and he was honored and favored, so there is naturally a reason for him.

"These officials are becoming more and more outrageous now..." Xia Di took a few deep breaths and said with lingering anger.

After a long while, Xia Di's anger calmed down slightly, and Eunuch Qin stepped forward to serve tea, and said consolingly: "Why should the emperor be angry with those people, those civil servants have such a character, and they all think of themselves very high, you don't It is necessary to hurt the dragon's body for these people!"

Xia Di took a sip from the teacup, but his expression was still not very good-looking.

As for the style of civil servants, what he is familiar with can't be more familiar, and he suffered a lot from it at the beginning.If it weren't for better governance of the world, he would never accept these civil servants anyway, but he has always strictly controlled them.

That is to say, in recent years, the rich and powerful have become increasingly domineering, so he slightly relaxed the reins on the civil servants. He did not expect the power of the civil servants to expand so much that even he was secretly startled.

Eunuch Qin thought that Xia Di was angry at the impeachment of those civil officials, but it was not the case. The reason Xia Di was really angry was because of the soaring power of civil officials.

In this regard, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, but he didn't find anything.

"Xiu Yiwei is still too young!" Under Xia Di's serious appearance, he sighed secretly in his heart.

Compared with Xiuyiwei's immature performance, Jinpaowei gave Xia Di a very deep impression at the beginning.It was precisely because he knew how powerful Jinpaowei was, and was worried that this sharp blade would hurt himself, so he had subconsciously suppressed Jinpaowei all these years after he ascended the throne.

Thinking about it now, he was still too anxious, and also lacked a bit of mind and courage.

Xia Di was no better than Taizu. He was already very glorious when he was born, so he suffered much less setbacks than Taizu.Therefore, Xia Di's methods were a little less upright and bolder than Taizu's.

However, Xia Di is not without advantages, that is, he is good at learning, which is why he quickly transformed from a vassal king to the supreme ruler of the world.

Xia Di's anger subsided a little, he put down the teacup, and read the memorial again.Suddenly, his expression changed, as if he saw something novel, the anger on his face disappeared, replaced by a playful smile.

"Interesting." Xia Di's eyes lit up, and he began to meditate.

Eunuch Qin knew that this was when the emperor took a fancy to someone and really took it to heart.

After a while, Xia Di put down the memorial and made a decision in his heart.

"Old Qin, do you still remember the kid from Zhongyi Hou's family?" Xia Di said with a relaxed expression, looking at Eunuch Qin.

Eunuch Qin's heart was moved when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "Is it the young master of the Zhongyihou's family? He is well-known in the whole capital, and his cultivation is not weak, but he is a little stunned, and he doesn't care about it. If not Your Majesty, you are magnanimous, he has already been sent to jail."

"Haha, it's also fortunate that that little monkey boy was not sent to prison, otherwise I would have missed a good talent." Xia Di said with a big laugh.

Eunuch Qin's eyes became brighter and brighter. You must know that there are not many people who can be rated as good talents by Xia Di, especially among the younger generation.

Seeing Eunuch Qin's expression, Xia Di handed the memorial to him: "Can you take a look?"

Eunuch Qin didn't hesitate, he just read the memorial after receiving it.He will never watch what the emperor doesn't let him see, but he won't twitch and refuse what the emperor wants him to see. Xia Di just admires the character of Eunuch Qin.

After a while, Eunuch Qin knelt down on the ground immediately after reading the contents of the memorial, and said, "The slave is guilty. Ji Province was caused such a big disturbance by the remnants of Jianming, and the slave and the embroidered guards didn't realize it at all. It's a capital crime." !"

It turned out that Eunuch Qin was the controller of the Embroidered Guards. Even though other people except the emperor had guessed about this, they were not sure.

"It's not your fault. If Zhao Wencai, a little monkey, didn't know it by accident, even I would never have thought that Ji Province would be so infiltrated by the remnants of the Jianming Party. Those civil officials disappointed me greatly." Xia Di's expression turned serious. , said in a deep voice.

"This time Zhao Wencai made a great contribution. I want to transfer him back to the capital for reuse. He has been away from the capital for a long time..."

Eunuch Qin understood as soon as he heard it, looked at Xia Di and said, "What does the emperor mean?"

Xia Di nodded: "Although Zhao Wencai is a little stunned, he still has abilities and has reached the realm of martial saints. The most important thing is that I think he has great luck. I solve some headaches..."

Speaking of this, Xia Di paused, and said with a slight smile on his face: "Besides, if Zhao Wencai is in trouble in the capital, can Cao Dahua, an uncle, stand by and watch?"

Eunuch Qin suddenly realized that he was much clearer than others about the delicate relationship between Xia Di and Cao Dahua, a pair of monarchs and ministers.
