"Brother Zecheng, I am just eating the emperor's salary and doing the emperor's work. As an admonishment officer, what I have to do is to picket the officials and supervise the imperial power. Gu Tingye made a mistake, and others were afraid of him and didn't want to say it. But I have to say it. If you are not brave enough to speak out as an admonisher, how can you stand up and wear the official uniform?"

Qi Heng said grandly, he was much more mature and he didn't know what to say.

The difference between admonishers and censors is that admonishers have greater supervisory responsibilities towards the emperor.

The admonishment officer mainly criticizes the emperor, and the censor mainly criticizes the prime minister and hundreds of officials. Of course, the boundaries between these two powers have become increasingly unclear, and they have been collectively called Taijian.

In the position of admonishment doctor, the biggest task is to find fault with the emperor.

The Queen Mother arranged Qi Heng in this way, which was quite the right way to restrain the emperor.

"Yuan Ruo, since you entered the court, you have done a lot of things. Not only did you persuade the officials, you also solved the case of rebelling against the king, cleaned up the remaining party members who rebelled against the king, and swept away the decadence in the court. You have done a lot. Okay. But since you became an official, you have been impeaching people non-stop. With such a high profile, are you being too aggressive?"

As soon as Gu Tingye entrusted him, Sheng Changbai came to find Qi Heng.

It was also because Sheng Changbai wanted to talk to Qi Heng.

Qi Heng's character and ability are both good. Staying in the court is more valuable than being a political victim.

Sheng Changbai still hoped that Qi Heng would not follow the Queen Mother to death.

Although the Duke of Qi was born into the Queen Mother's party.

It is also because of the blessing of the Queen Mother that the Duke of Qi's mansion has retained its current power.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, the Duke of Qi's mansion was not liquidated.

Although the Queen Mother, a widow, was inherited by Zhao Zongquan from her husband's inheritance and was bullied by his heirs, she was indeed worthy of sympathy.

But doing politics is just doing politics, and there is no room for so many personal feelings.

No matter how you look at the stock of the Queen Mother, it looks like it will fall sharply, and it will only fall to the bottom.

There is obviously no way out for Qi Heng to follow the Queen Mother.

Now the harder Qi Heng helps the Queen Mother to charge into the battle, the harder Qi Heng will be punished after the Queen Mother retreats.

As Sheng Changbai meant, although the Qi family relied on the Queen Mother, they did enjoy a lot of protection and support from the Queen Mother.

But Qi Heng worked hard for the Queen Mother, so it was enough to return the Queen Mother's favor, and there was no need to sell his life to the Queen Mother.

Even if the Queen Mother loses her power, she is still the highest-status woman in the Zhou Dynasty and can still enjoy the most luxurious life in the Zhou Dynasty.

If the Duke of Qi's palace was liquidated, it would probably mean confiscating the family's title, which would be much worse than the Queen Mother's.

"How can we seek good fortune and avoid misfortune when we serve the country and are loyal to the king?" Qi Heng said.

"Yuan Ruo, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your father, mother, and wife. As an official, you still need to learn to cherish your life. Only by being able to be useful can you make a big difference." Sheng Changbai said earnestly.

"The Queen Mother has been a nurturing person to my mother, has been kind to our family, and has been kind to me. How can I not dedicate myself to repay her kindness?"

Perhaps because he heard Sheng Changbai's sincerity, Qi Heng finally became more sincere when he said this.

There is no high-sounding statement, saying that these things are done for the sake of the country.

To put it more clearly, these things are basically done for the Queen Mother.

"Yuan Ruo, you are not the only way to repay the Empress Dowager. As the mother of the country, the Empress Dowager is in charge of the whole world. If you serve the court with all your heart, you are also repaying the Empress Dowager..."

We still need to do some ideological work for Qi Heng and change his ideas.

Don't mindlessly help the Queen Mother in order to repay your kindness.

"I will think about what you said, Brother Zecheng."

Qi Heng thought for a while and then said.

"Even if the queen mother retreats and returns to the harem, she is the most honorable woman in the world, and no one can bully her." The reason why Qi Heng is willing to be a "thug" for the queen mother is because the queen mother said that she was bullied by Zhao Zongquan.

In order to repay the Queen Mother, Qi Heng was determined to help the Queen Mother fight for power and join the emperor's Yuzhou gang.

"Think more about your parents and their expectations for you. Your mother has such high expectations for you."

As a filial person, the parents at home can be said to be Qi Heng's weakness.

After chatting with Qi Heng, this matter is over.

Whether or not it will be effective depends on Qi Heng's subsequent actions.

……

Qi Heng may have also heard some of Sheng Changbai's words.

For a while, there was no impeachment of the Yuzhou gang.

During this period of time, Yuzhou's group calmed down a bit, not as much as when they first entered Bianliang.

This group of people in Yuzhou grew up poor and have never learned any rules.

I have never been an official and do not understand some of the unspoken rules in the officialdom.

Because they are all emperors and old people, they only rely on emotion and not ability. It is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad, and there are many domineering people.

It is believed that when Zhao Zongquan became emperor, the people of Yuzhou ruled the world.

Feeling that their status is higher, it is difficult for this group of people to cause trouble every day.

From time to time there would be some transgressions in etiquette, and people would run wild in Bianliang City, acting domineering and arrogant.

In fact, these people are no more low-key than the original Yongwang and Yanwang families.

It is because of lack of education and lack of rules that they behave more vulgarly and arrogantly.

Although the emperor brought few people from Yuzhou, there were not many people in these families.

Each person represents a big family behind them, or even one family plus many families with in-laws.

These people cannot learn the rules of Bianliang.

But following the original dandy and libertine from Bianliang, it was easy to learn how to be domineering, how to disturb the people, and how to cause trouble.

Such a large number of people entered Bianliang and became the new rich in Bianliang.

As a "noble person" in Bianliang, it is of course necessary to buy property.

But the field shops, various businesses in Bianliang City, and the farms outside the city have already been saturated after decades of founding.

Especially if you want to buy large-scale land, you can never buy it anytime you want.

In order to buy property for themselves, these people will inevitably use their power to pressure others and buy and sell by force.

During this time, the Yuzhou gang had already purchased properties that should have been purchased.

Those who dare to violate etiquette and law are laughed at and impeached more often. With experience, they also know how to restrain themselves.

After a year, the Yuzhou gang has finally adapted to Bianliang.

After autumn, it’s winter, when the temperature is so low that you need to light a charcoal fire in the house.

Sheng Changbai also switched from riding a horse to traveling in a carriage.

Occasionally, when I work at Yushitai, I will go home with Sheng Hong, who works at the Ministry of Industry.

"My lord, Changbai, you are happy."

Wang Ruofu said with great joy when he saw the two people coming back from the Yamen.

"Where does happiness come from?" Sheng Hong replied.

"Isn't it a happy event when it snows? This is the first snow since the beginning of winter. If there is more snow like this this winter, there will be no shortage of water next year. It will definitely be a good year."

Sheng Changbai then said that in the era of relying on the weather, all classes, from the emperor to the tenants, cared about the weather.

Generally speaking, there is still some drought near Bianliang this year.

Land without irrigation conditions is still one or two levels higher than a poor harvest in a good year.Sheng Changbai was still in a good mood after seeing snow fall after winter for a few years.

Compared with after it snowed, the weather became colder, and the cost of heating carbon stones increased. Some poor people's houses were collapsed by the snow.

The problem of drought is still more difficult to solve.

"Snow is of course a happy event, but what I want to tell you is an even bigger happy event." Wang Ruofu said with a smile on his face.

"If there's any happy event, just tell it straight up, what's the point?" Sheng Hong urged.

"Hey's happy!"

"Where is she? I'll see where she goes."

Sheng Changbai was notified of such things many times, but after hearing this, he did not panic.

But for new life, no matter how many times you experience it, you will still feel the same surprise.

"I didn't keep her in Wei Ruixuan today. I asked her to go back and rest." Wang Ruofu said back to Sheng Changbai.

"Are you sure? Have you seen a doctor?" Sheng Hong also asked.

Regarding the issue of heirs, although Sheng Hong was not as hasty as Wang Ruofu, he still cared about the fourth generation of the Sheng family.

"I've checked with the doctor and everything is fine." Wang Ruofu said with a smile.

"Then I'll go over and take a look first." Sheng Changbai greeted before leaving.

After returning to his room, Sheng Changbai took Hai Chaoyun's pulse and confirmed that everything was fine and normal, then he put the matter aside for the time being.

She was only pregnant for two months at most. If Hai Chaoyun hadn't suddenly become overjoyed, it wouldn't have been visible at all.

It's too early to worry about your children.

There are already a lot of servants at home to serve, so there is no need to buy any more manpower.

As long as Hai Chaoyun lives his normal life and pays attention, that's all.

Because Hai Chaoyun is pregnant, Sheng Changbai has been in a good mood recently.

It wasn't until something happened again in the court that Sheng Changbai's mood worsened.

"Filial piety is the first priority. Now that His Majesty is in the Great Treasure and the Son of Heaven, there should be a conclusion on the name of King Xianshu."

This time it's not Qi Heng who wants to cause trouble, but Prime Minister Han Zhang.

Like Qi Heng, he directly carried out a surprise attack at the court on Shuo Ri and raised the matter directly without communicating with the officials.

Qi Heng communicated with the Queen Mother before making trouble. If Han Zhang wanted to make trouble, of course he had to conspire with the emperor first.

"Xiangong Han, what kind of status do you want to discuss?"

The emperor had to pretend to be reserved and didn't talk about his biological father. Only the Queen Mother who was interested could ask about it.

"The former King Shu is the elder brother of the late Emperor and the father of Your Majesty. Your Majesty should address King Shu as Huang Kao."

Han Zhangtian replied to the Queen Mother with a stern face.

"Shameless." After hearing Han Zhang's answer, Sheng Changbai cursed in his heart.

During the reign of the old emperor, Prime Minister Han was still like a literati, with the strength of a traditional scholar-bureaucrat.

But after Zhao Zongquan came to power and the two-person alliance entered the honeymoon period, they conducted a py transaction.

The emperor wanted to give Han's hometown, Xiangzhou, to the Han family for hereditary inheritance.

Let the Han family get privileges in the Great Zhou Dynasty and get a de facto fiefdom.

Even when the Zhou Dynasty was founded, the titles granted were all fictitious and had no actual fiefdoms.

But Zhao Zongquan wanted the Han family to inherit the official position of the magistrate of Xiangzhou and become the de facto local emperor of Xiangzhou.

This was the treatment that only the warlords who led troops and territory and took refuge with Taizu had when Taizu founded the country.

Zhao Zongquan directly arranged for Han.

This wave of sugar-coated bullets directly shattered Mr. Han’s knees.

A prime minister, for the sake of Zhao Zongquan, would have to give up his shameless face.

The prime minister, who originally restricted the imperial power, completely became the emperor's licking dog.

Previously, he collaborated with the emperor, bullied the queen mother, and acted like a rogue to take back the jade seal.

It can also be said that Han Zhang did it for the sake of the country and did not want to break up with the Queen Mother, causing a bigger disturbance and causing turmoil in the court.

But now the man named Han wants to support Zhao Zongquan in recognizing his father.

It's completely unnecessary. It's just kneeling down to please Zhao Zongquan.

As soon as Prime Minister Han said these shameless words, the court was silent for a moment.

On the one hand, it was difficult to talk about this matter, but on the other hand, everyone was shocked by the prime minister's shamelessness.

"Your Majesty is the heir to the late Emperor. He has succeeded to the throne, so he naturally regards the late Emperor as his father."

There was silence in the court, but the Queen Mother, who had the most relevant interests, was the first to object.

"King Shu is His Majesty's birthplace, and his blood is the heir. Now that His Majesty has won the supreme position, if he changes to another direction, wouldn't it be to let the people of the world talk about His Majesty, who is unfeeling and unfilial?"

Prime Minister Han continued to say that a scholar's mouth always talks about pros and cons, confusing right and wrong.

If a man named Han can become prime minister, he is certainly a leader among literati. He continued to defend Zhao Zongquan.

"It seems that Mr. Han's decision has been made. What do the princes below have anything to say."

After hearing Prime Minister Han's shameless speech, the Queen Mother blushed with anger, but she still held back her anger and asked the ministers in the court for help.

"The minister seconded Han Zhang."

The deputy prime minister followed Han Zhang and responded.

"Okay, my two husbands, it seems they have agreed with the emperor to bully me, a widow."

When the Queen Mother heard that the Deputy Prime Minister also supported the Emperor, she was trembling with anger.

"I object. Your Majesty has succeeded the emperor as the emperor, and now you want to respect King Shu as the emperor. Where will you put the former emperor? If King Xianshu is the emperor, where does your majesty come from besides being the supreme king? "

In this situation, Sheng Changbai had to stand up.

As the censor who presided over the ceremony, it was Sheng Changbai's job.

If you don’t think about it from the standpoint of pitying the Queen Mother as a widow, you think about it from the standpoint of a scholar.

Sheng Changbai had to stand up at this time and watch the emperor appoint his biological father as the emperor.

The reputation that Sheng Changbai, the censor of the Ministry of Rites, had accumulated among the literati over the years, no longer existed.

How can he be the prime minister and leader Shilin in the future?

Among so many emperors in history, Zhao Zongquan's operation can also be ranked among the top few in terms of shamelessness.

Because he recognized the old emperor as the emperor, Zhao Zongquan inherited the throne.

He wiped out the old emperor's property and secured the throne.

Zhao Zongquan wanted to recognize his biological father again. Not to mention the emperor, there were few people who were so shameless.

This question is not a question of whether the emperor recognizes his biological father.

This was a dispute between imperial power and etiquette. If Zhao Zongquan succeeded, the imperial power would completely lose its constraints. (End of chapter)
