Jiang Zhe got up this morning and didn't go directly to Hongdexuan as usual. Because of Li Gang's troubles, Hongdexuan really didn't have anything to deal with, so after breakfast, he was in front of the bedroom. Walking in the small garden, thinking about his next plan.

He Zhen came in running in. Even though it was already October, he was still sweating profusely.Seeing that he was in such a hurry, Jiang Zhe asked, "What's the matter? Are you in such a hurry?"

He Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Master Li arrived at Hongdexuan early in the morning and said that he has something important to see the emperor. He has been waiting there for nearly an hour."

Jiang Zhe couldn't help but think to himself, "It's been more than a month, and I have never seen him want to discuss with me. What's going on today? Could it be because of the fact that he went to the household department yesterday? His ear report There are quite a few gods.”

In fact, Jiang Zhe wanted to see Li Gang very much, because he had to let Li Gang know about the few things he had just thought about. The reason why he went to the household department with great fanfare yesterday was to let Li Gang know what he was doing, and then come to visit him. own tone.

If you want to see it, you want to see it, but you must not show your eagerness, otherwise you will be at a disadvantage again.So Jiang Zhe thought for a while, then said: "You go back and tell him that I just woke up and now I want to eat, and ask him to meet you in the Imperial Garden later, and I will go there to digest after dinner .”

When Li Gang arrived at the Imperial Garden, Jiang Zhe was feeding the goldfish in the pond with fish food. When he saw Li Gang coming in, he waved him off and said with a smile, "Kaiyang (Li Gang's character), you are You are a veteran of the three dynasties, and you don’t need to make any salutes when you meet me in private. Oh, wait for a while, I will feed the fish over there, and when we are done, let’s sit in the pavilion over there.”

Jiang Zhe deliberately dawdled, and it took him a whole stick of incense to finish feeding the fish.Only then did Li Gang sit on the stone drum on the pavilion in the middle of the pool, took a sip of the tea handed over by the eunuch below, and said, "What's the matter, come in so early to see me?"

Li Gang took out a booklet from his sleeve, handed it over, and said: "Sun Guobin, the envoy of Lingnan Road, said that the road has suffered a severe drought this year, and the grain production has been severely reduced. He asked for 200 million stones of grain to be used for disaster relief. I have come here to ask the emperor for an order."

Jiang Zhe didn't pick up the folds, but stretched out two fingers to rub his temples, and said, "I was blowing the wind last night, and I woke up this morning with a dizzy mind, so I don't need to look at the folds. You are here with Kaiyang." , Why should I worry about these things? You can just figure it out." Jiang Zhe was deliberately showing weakness.

Li Gang originally heard that Jiang Zhe went to the Ministry of Households to summon Lu Yunhai alone yesterday, so today he specially picked up something related to the Ministry of Households to ask for an interview, in order to find out Jiang Zhe's intentions.Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhe didn't even take the paperwork, and just pushed it back, so he didn't have a chance to talk about the personnel affairs of the household department.I had no choice but to reply: "The minister will go to convene people to discuss countermeasures, and he must live up to the trust and trust of the emperor." After finishing speaking, he got up and planned to leave.

Who would have thought that Jiang Zhe spoke again, "In my opinion, you don't need to worry about disaster relief in Kaiyang, just ask Li Min to handle it, who told him to be in charge of money and food." There was a slight pause. Then he said again, "To be honest, I don't like this person very much. He is too pedantic and straightforward. The day before the court meeting, he actually cried poorly to me in public, which made me lose face. Didn't he say that the Ministry of Households has no money? This time Let him think of a way to relieve the disaster, I don't believe it, he won't pay for the war, and he won't pay for the disaster relief?"

Li Gang didn't expect that Jiang Zhe would take the initiative to talk about the Ministry of Household Affairs, so he hurriedly said: "I obey the order, let him do this job later." After a short pause, he sighed deliberately: "Li Min is always stingy. He regards the court money as his own money, and he is reluctant to part with this, and he is also reluctant to part with that. Originally, the officials and the Ministry of Rites agreed to use 900 million taels of silver for the funeral of Emperor Mu Zong, but in the end Li Min only allocated 550 million taels. It is really disrespectful to the court.”

Li Gang took the opportunity to sue and attack his political opponents, but Jiang Zhe was terrified when he heard it. Well, it cost 550 million taels of silver to hold a funeral. Money at war?

Surprise was nothing but surprise, but Jiang Zhe couldn't show it at all in front of Li Gang. Anyway, Li Min had to report to Jun alone, and he would ask after seeing him.So Jiang Zhe also went on and said: "What Aiqing said is very true. I went to the household department yesterday and summoned a person alone, that is Lu Yunhai who I compared myself to Mencius. I thought he was an elegant person Well, the result disappointed me very much. I don’t talk too much, and I have a problem with Li Min, who can’t talk about finances and food, and I don’t like him very much.” After finishing speaking, Jiang Zhe curled his lips deliberately, thinking show contempt.

Li Gang continued: "How does the emperor plan to deal with this person?" He knew that Li Min and Lu Yunhai had a relatively good relationship, and Li Min's high status was not easy to deal with, so disposing of Lu Yunhai was also a blow to Li Min.

"Dispose of him?" Jiang Zhe pretended to be casual and said, "I haven't thought about it carefully. Kaiyang, what do you mean?"

"Yi Chen's humble opinion..." Seeing Jiang Zhe asking him, Li Gang was excited and opened his mouth to hit Lu Yunhai hard.

But Jiang Zhe refused to let him finish his sentence. Just as Li Gang opened his mouth, he spoke again, "Forget it, Lu Yunhai is a mere sixth-rank chief, and it's not worth our king's concern. I think it's good, let's demote He went to a county to be the county magistrate."

Li Gang choked back half of what he said, and almost didn't choke, but when he heard Jiang Zhe's handling, he didn't have any opinion. No matter how poor the place is, it is also a kind of pleasure.He hurriedly replied, "I obey the order."

Jiang Zhe said again: "Didn't you just say that there was a drought in Lingnan? Just relegate him to Lingnan, that crappy place where birds don't shit, let him talk about finances and food with the local natives. Remember to find him a poorest county."

Li Gang was really elated, and he thought of the emperor he thought of for him. It seems that this Lu Yunhai really does not want the emperor to see him.He was happy in his heart, so he showed it on his face, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will definitely find him a county that doesn't shit."

Jiang Zhe also laughed and said, "Okay, that's it for Lu Yunhai. I still have something to discuss with Kaiyang."

"Your Majesty, please order." What Jiang Zhe did made him happy, and Li Gang was also happy to show the emperor face.

"I have a crush on someone in the Ministry of Household Affairs. It turned out to be a clerk under Lu Yunhai, named Zhao Pu. I want to use him, but he is not famous. How do you think this should be done?" Jiang Zhe said slowly. Said.

As soon as he heard that Jiang Zhe wanted to hire someone, Li Gang immediately became vigilant. The emperor had sealed Zhang Xiao before, but that was a bodyguard, and Zhang Xiao cracked the giant python in public, so he couldn't express his opinion, but this Zhao Pu But I have to be careful, so I thought about my words and said: "My ancestors in the Tang Dynasty made non-honored children have to pass the imperial examination to be an official. Since the founding of the country, there has been no example of civilians becoming an official."

"Oh." Jiang Zhe's face showed a little hesitation, "That is to say, I can't use it if I want to?"

Li Gang didn't want to leave a bad impression in Jiang Zhe's heart because of this, so he said: "Of course, if the emperor wants to issue a special order to recruit, it is not impossible, but it is not appropriate to confer titles above the fifth rank, so as not to let the world live in vain. thinking."

Jiang Zhe said with a slight smile: "I didn't intend to appoint him such a big official, so let him replace Lu Yunhai as the head of the Huainan Qing Officials Department. That's it. Later, you will ask the Ministry of Officials to draft a ticket."

"Minister obeys the order." Li Gang thought about it. In his eyes, the official position of the head of the household department is indeed a small official like sesame and mung bean. Said: "If the emperor has nothing else to do, please excuse me."

Jiang Zhe shook his head and said, "Kaiyang can't leave yet. I still need you to help me with something very important."

"Please order from the emperor." Li Gang had no choice but to sit down again.

Jiang Zhe said with a little embarrassment: "It's like this. I don't like reading books very much when I was a child. I didn't feel any inconvenience when I was a prince. Now that I am an emperor, this memorial looks very Struggle. Does Kaiyang have any good ways to teach me?"

Li Gang was stumped by this question on the spot, and said to himself: You are not knowledgeable enough, what can others do?But the courtiers can't say to the face that the emperor's knowledge is low, because there has always been only the profound knowledge of the saints.I can only say: "The emperor is humble and thirsty for knowledge. This is the blessing of the world. What I can do is to find some great Confucian scholars for the emperor to study with the emperor."

Jiang Zhe said: "Kaiyang may not understand what I mean. I still know all the words that I should know, but when punctuating sentences, the meaning of the text is often unclear, resulting in ambiguity and misunderstanding. Is there any way to standardize it? Sentence."

Jiang Zhe actually wanted to take the opportunity to introduce punctuation marks, because strictly speaking, punctuation marks are an inseparable part of written language, and an article can only express his correct thoughts and emotions if it is fully equipped with punctuation marks, otherwise, if you want to understand the A string of Chinese characters is indeed not a simple matter.

If Jiang Zhe wants to establish his own great cause in this world, he must reform. Since other things cannot be changed at present, first introducing punctuation marks will have a huge impact on the future.

Li Gang is not a fool either. He could tell from Jiang Zhe's tone that he already had some ideas, so he said, "The sage knowledge is so profound that no minister can hold a candle to it. I hope the emperor will express it!"

Of course, Jiang Zhe has knowledge about punctuation marks in his belly, but he will never show it directly. First, he is too ostentatious, and second, he still wants to use this opportunity to hold back part of Li Gang's energy.So he deliberately said: "My idea is to use some symbols to break sentences, but it's still just an idea, the specific things have to be done by you, Kaiyang."
