Sometimes the palace is sunny

Chapter 38 Argument
Even though he was chanting Shen Sanwa's name in his heart these few days when he had nothing to do, when a woman's slightly indifferent voice sounded in his heart, Zhao Surui couldn't help but touch the back of his neck.

Smoothed out the fried hair.

In the East Nuan Pavilion of Qianqing Palace, Shen Shiqing put the two memorials on the corner of the table, and raised her hand to pinch the space between her brows:

"Change the incense in the incense burner to something lighter, it's too fragrant and it makes people dry."

Yiji hurriedly wrote it down and did so, and said: "My lord, let's rest earlier, it's already the second watch, and we have to go to court tomorrow."

It is a good thing for the world that the emperor is more diligent than before, but after all, the duty of these accompanying eunuchs is not to assist Mingjun, but to serve the emperor. Ye is diligent in government and loving the people, and they deserve to die.

"Okay, rest."

Shen Shiqing put down the pen, and Sanmao at the side took the opportunity to bring over a white porcelain bowl.

"My lord, the clove pear you mentioned earlier has been simmered, and I only added two cubes of rock sugar according to my lord's instructions."

Shen Shiqing took it, ate the pear meat that had been simmered until it turned amber, and drank two mouthfuls of soup.

Ever since meeting Chen Shouzhang that day, she has been a little depressed, and her appetite is not as good as before. They were so frightened that they were secretly worried whether she was hit by something unclean from Beizhen Fusi, but Shen Shiqing knew it very well. She didn't encounter any dirty things, but she was a little bored, probably because Zhao Surui had a liver that was easy to get angry, which made her boredom show some symptoms.

That's why Sanmao made this lilac pear for her.

She drank the pear soup slowly over there, her face was calm, but her heart was like a monkey making trouble in heaven.

"Shen Sanwa, speak up!"

"Shen Sanfei, how did you bring disaster to my country?"

"Shen Sanfei, do you know that Cui Jinniang played a good show, it really opened my eyes."

"Shen Sanwaste, Shen Sanwaste, Shen Sanwaste..."

"Your Majesty, you are too noisy."

Zhao Surui: "...Shen Sanfei, believe it or not, I will immediately ask Tu Nan Peifeng to wrestle for me, and I will never die?"

The fine porcelain spoon was put back into the bowl, and Shen Shiqing raised her head: "Your Majesty, the women are going to find twenty strong guards in brocade clothes to serve the bed."

Zhao Surui: "..."

There is no way to pass this day!

Shen Shiqing walked slowly to the back hall of Qianqing Palace where she was sleeping, and said slowly in her heart: "Your Majesty, being irritable and irritable is not good for your health. Also His Majesty."

Zhao Surui rolled his eyes, and took a bamboo stick to flip over the roasted ginkgo nuts on the small clay stove.

Ever since he knew that this delicate red clay stove was usually used by Shen Sanwai to bake paint, and he took great care of it, he liked to use it to bake things even more.

Shen Sanwas harmed his country, so he will harm Shen Sanwas stove!

"Speaking of which, Shen Sanfei, I have to thank you for teaching some good maids, who are loyal and skillful, and serve me well."

"Your Majesty is rich all over the world, yet he is full of praise for the servant girls of the folk woman. The woman thanked His Majesty on their behalf." Shen Shiqing stood in the inner room, took off the hat on her head and handed it to a chicken, and then He spread his arms and let the eunuchs untie his robes.

Shen Shiqing thanked her as if she was sincere, but Zhao Surui snorted secretly.

He didn't praise Shen Three Wastes to make her thank her.

"Shen Sanfei, after thinking about it for the past few days, you actually don't have nothing. You have countless books and several loyal maidservants. If you have some wealth, you can find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to build a separate courtyard without outsiders intruding. You should be like a fairy. day."

Shen Shiqing didn't speak immediately, she wiped her teeth with green salt and rinsed her mouth, then sat down and took off her boots, but didn't go to bed immediately, but picked up a book on the side of the bed and read it again, and said a few words to her. A eunuch waved his hand:
"You go back first."

"Yes, the servants and servants have left first, and please the emperor to rest in peace."

She didn't speak for a while, but Zhao Surui over there became anxious again: "Shen Sanwao, what do you think? What kind of Zhuangzi do you want to live in, Shen Sanwao?"

"Your Majesty, you are the lord of the world. Since you can live a fairy-like life, the women of the people will naturally invite your Majesty to live it. As for the busyness of the world and the exchange of fame and fame, the women of the people will take care of your majesty."

Zhao Surui was choked again.

"Shen Shiqing, why are you willing to return my body to me?"

"Your Majesty, don't think that women are living comfortably now." Shen Shiqing said in her heart while reading, "I went to see Chen Shouzhang a few days ago, Your Majesty, today's Dayong can be said to be riddled with holes. There are deficits everywhere, and most of the local officials are tearing down the east wall to make up for the west. I have been doing calculations and calculations against the account books of the Ministry of Accounts these days. Yong's treasury will be emptied by you."

Shen Shiqing's words were extremely blunt, and she simply added what was written in Chen Shouzhang's memorial.

Hearing that Shen Sanwas even reckoned the account books of the household department, Zhao Surui sneered, picked up a ginkgo fruit with a burnt skin and put it on the plate in front of him with chopsticks.

"The account of the household department still needs to be calculated? If my father has worked so hard for so many years, and now he can't collect 600 million taels of tax money a year, don't you think I really don't know? If it wasn't for saving money to fight Mo Bei Mo Xi, why did I put up with Zhang Wan for three years?"

Zhang Wan is a great eunuch who has been in power since the time of the first emperor. The first emperor was weak and once held most of the power to appoint and dismiss officials in the court. After the first prince came to the court, he restrained himself. Unfortunately, the first prince has not yet brought him down. I went first. After Emperor Zhaode succeeded to the throne, Zhang Wan was allowed to control the government for a while. Zhang Wan thought that the emperor had to rely on him a lot when he was young, so he recklessly amassed money, selling officials and nobles.

Until the third year of Emperor Zhaode's accession to the throne, on a certain day, Zhang Wan served in front of the imperial court as usual. Emperor Zhaode loosened his hand and a cup fell to the ground.

Before Zhang Wan could speak, he was knocked down by several young eunuchs. The young emperor squatted on the ground and looked at him with a smile:

"Zhang Wan, how dare you lose your dignity in front of the imperial court?"

With just this sentence, Zhang Wan's party, which had been entrenched in half the court, disappeared in just a few days.

Before the courtiers had time to praise their young majesty's assertiveness, they saw his majesty touching his chin in the early court and saying, "I want to conquer by myself."

Shen Shiqing originally thought that Emperor Zhaode killed Zhang Wan for the sake of establishing his prestige, but now that Zhao Surui said it himself, she realized that in Zhao Surui's eyes, Zhang Wan was just a fat pig raised by him, and when it was time to kill, he would naturally kill him. up.

To this day, Zhao Surui felt that he was really wise and mighty to the extreme. He poked the shell of the ginkgo with his finger and got burned.

"A Chi."

"girl."

"Peel off the ginkgo fruit for me."

"Yes, girl."

Eating the ginkgo fruit that Achi had painstakingly peeled off the shell, Zhao Surui slumped lazily on the chair, and said to Shen Shiqing: "Zhang Wandang paid a total of 2000 million taels of silver and 100 million taels of gold. It’s enough for Doer’s headquarters, and their money was obtained from greed, and it’s considered a promotion to use them in the northwest, and it’s a merit for them to go underground.”

There is only one point, no more.

Shen Shiqing, who was leaning on the dragon bed to read, frowned slightly, and turned the book again.

"Your Majesty, if next year's war does not go well, who will you kill to raise military expenses?"

Zhao Surui chewed the ginkgo fruit, thinking about the money bag he had aimed at a long time ago:
"Officials in various prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River must be rich. If it is not enough, look at the tributes everywhere, such as shad tribute, silk tribute, and tea tribute. If it is not enough, kill the salt government. If it is not enough... Chu vassal is also quite fat."

After seven years of cultivating her mind and character, Shen Shiqing asked herself that there were not many things in the world that could surprise her, but at this moment she was still surprised by this tyrant's outspoken words.

Jiangnan is the place that supports the world's wealth. If the officials of all the governments are greedy, it is no wonder that Dayong is unable to make ends meet.

The vassal kings not only got property from their respective fiefdoms, but also received rewards from the court every year, so he had to take back the rewards that had been taken out of Zhao Surui's hands?
Needless to say as for Shagong, she has already decided to abolish it, and there are still undercurrents in the court.

It turned out that Zhao Surui knew all of this, not only did he know, he also let them sit on their own, as if he had already decided that the people's fat and people's anointing that these people had scavenged were destined to enter his pocket.

Shen Shiqing began to feel that she had eaten less of the clove pears just now.

In a very short moment, she completely understood Li Ge's surprise when she saw her asking about people's livelihood, and even understood Liu Ge's faintly visible scalp through the gauze hat and Yang Ge's hemorrhoids for many years.

"Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what kind of life the people would be living if the officials in charge of tributes and vassals in all the prefectures and vassals in the south of the Yangtze River were exploiting the common people?"

"What kind of life are the people living?" Zhao Surui smiled as he chewed the roasted ginkgo fruit, "Shen Sanfei, don't you think it's my fault that there are people who are poor in this world? Should it be my credit? Those who have means and courage naturally have a rich family, and those who have no brains and courage can’t blame me for their poor life. I killed corrupt officials, and those people should praise me Shengming is right."

Shen Shiqing didn't think so.

"Your Majesty, the disease lies in the skin, where the soup irons it, the stomach, the medicine... Since the disease can be cured at the beginning, why wait until the disease reaches the stomach? After all, the stomach is too close to the bone marrow.* "

"You have only been emperor for a few days and you dare to accuse me?"

Zhao Surui was impatient again: "Then how do you let me deal with it? Stare at those officials every day, drag them out immediately if they dare to be greedy, or simply borrow a magic weapon from the Bodhisattva and look at their hearts in the mirror. Just drag it out and chop it up right away?"

Put a warm ginkgo fruit in the palm of your hand, pat the heel of your palm, and the ginkgo fruit bounces up and falls into your mouth.

"Ants are ants. Once you have a little power, you feel that you can make the world look new."

Emperor Zhaode of the Yong Dynasty lowered his eyes and said with a smile in his heart:
"As everyone knows, power itself is not used to save people, but to decide who will die first."

There was another sound outside the window.
