I am the censor, at the beginning I denounced the empress

Chapter 246 Changes in Great Liang

News, not word of mouth.

It's a real letter.

Tang Can tore off the seal, read it carefully, and there was a complex look on his brows, and he said to himself: "What kind of tricks are you playing?"

After speaking, put away the letter and walk away.

After explaining a few words to the members of the mission, and chatting a few gossips with Zhao Yi, he turned around to open another courtyard, and headed north all the way.

Jiaoyefang.

The Great Liang God Capital Guozijian is located.

Gongyuan is also here.

Fang Xiaoru, Zhao Yongkang and others were also there.

Tang Can walked to the door alone, with both hands empty.

Fang Xiaoru walked down the steps and smiled slightly: "Long time no see."

Tang Can nodded, looked at the people standing at the gate of the Gongyuan, and said with a smile: "The formation is quite large."

"After all, the courtyard will be closed tomorrow." Fang Xiaoru said in a calm tone as before, "There is no harm in being able to come earlier and prepare earlier."

"The imperial examination has a lot to do with it."

"Yes." Tang Can agreed, and said calmly, "But the imperial guards of the Gongyuan will not be transferred until tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter." Fang Xiaoru said softly, "Tang Yushi advanced to the academy to have a look, that's fine."

Tang Can smiled and agreed.

The so-called entering the hospital to have a look, in the final analysis, is for that letter.

Walking up the steps, Zhao Yongkang and others looked at Tang Can with complicated eyes.

Tang Can didn't take it seriously either, and walked into the tribute courtyard with Fang Xiaoru on his own.

Entering the courtyard is the examination room.

It is also the life and death field of countless scholars.

The title of the gold list starts from here.

Two people were walking casually in the yard.

Others did not follow.

Only Zhao Yongkang, with his head down, followed behind in silence.

Walk for a while.

Tang Can suddenly walked into a cubicle, sat down in it, and looked around.

Fang Xiaoru smiled, and said softly: "Doesn't Tang Yushi think that the old man will play tricks on the tribute court?"

Tang Can was a little surprised: "What did Mr. Fang say?"

"It's nothing." Fang Xiaoru smiled slightly, and continued: "The old man has no intention of doing anything in the Gongyuan."

"The matter of the imperial examination is very important to the old man. Don't misunderstand Tang Yushi."

"Really?" Tang Can looked at Fang Xiaoru with a half-smile, took out a letter from his bosom, and gently placed it on the desk in the cubicle: "Then this letter is not written by Mr. Fang?"

Fang Xiaoru shook his head: "I wrote it."

"However, the original intention of the old man is not like this."

Tang Can didn't speak, and looked at Fang Xiaoru calmly, waiting for his next words.

"This old man can only use this method if he wants to see you in advance."

"Haha." Tang Can smiled: "Mr. Fang is joking. Although I am the envoy of Gaochang, it is much easier to see me."

"There is no need to say that you want to do something about the imperial examination."

Tang Can directly stated the contents of the letter, and Fang Xiaoru did not change significantly.

It seems.

After half a year of training, this old pedant who used to be very bookish has the appearance of a powerful minister, able to show his emotions without showing his anger.

Someone moved a chair over.

Fang Xiaoru sat down opposite Tang Can, and said softly, "The court today is different from when you left."

"There were some problems with your original idea."

"Now the Wenge cannot restrain the Empress in all matters."

"Even, today's court is more complicated than before."

"In the past, there were only Gao Yuanyi, Xie Anshi and the Empress in the court."

"The three are balanced. Although the world is uneven, the government is always relatively stable."

Tang Can has experienced these things, and he is not surprised.

but……

Fang Xiaoru went on to say: "Now, the Empress, Wenge, and Gao Yuanyi."

"It seems to be a tripartite confrontation."

"It should be a stable situation."

"But...it's more difficult than before."

"Why?" Tang Can really didn't understand the current situation in the court of Great Liang.

Since Gao Yuanyi is willing to speak, he is also willing to listen.

As for the authenticity, he can also check with Gao Yuanyi.

"Because the Holy One is much more enlightened than before."

Tang Can twitched his eyebrows subconsciously and asked in confusion: "Isn't it a good thing to be enlightened?"

Fang Xiaoru was stunned.

After a while, I realized that Tang Can in front of me didn't know many things that the empress did.

He could only smile wryly, and sighed: "Things are not what you think.

Someone brought tea.

The two of them started talking in the cubicle of the examination room.

Through Fang Xiaoru's narration, Tang Can knew all kinds of things that happened in Great Liang in the past few months.

The Empress is enlightened.

It's almost like being open to all comers!
It is a common thing for the imperial court to change the decrees from morning to night.

and……

The empress, who used to be in court every day, now has an indefinite number of early courts after experiencing the transition of one court in three days.

Sometimes five days, sometimes seven days.

What's more, they don't go to court early for half a month.

If it's just that, that's fine.

However, the empress delegated a lot of power to various ministries.

As long as it is not a matter of spending money, each department has the right to decide for itself.

of course.

In name, the resolution of all matters is still under the leadership of the Wen Pavilion.

But there are only a few people in Wenge.

In order to ensure that the things that benefit the country and the people that I want to do can really be implemented in the world, instead of just talking in court, I can only be forced to agree to the additional conditions of various ministries.

As such.

The government has become a little utilitarian and a little chaotic.

Just like the salt tax proposed by Tang Can, it was used to improve officials' salaries.

However, at the request of the Minister of the Household Department, this sum of money that should have been supervised by Yushitai was directly included in the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Households made overall arrangements.

The household department has become the empress's small treasury.

Also.

Like promoting sweet potatoes and potatoes all over the world.

This kind of thing is a good thing, and it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people.

but……

Officials in local prefectures and counties, because there is no shortage of food for the time being, do not encourage people to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes as they did in the past.

He even ordered people to spread rumors that sweet potatoes and potatoes should not be eaten too much, otherwise they would not grow tall...

“It can be said that today’s Wenge exists in name only.”

Fang Xiaoru smiled wryly: "Not only does the imperial court center not have much right to speak, but it also has no right to speak about the localities."

Tang Can shook his head: "The existence of Wenge should have provided advice and checks and balances."

"Not only to check and balance the empress, but also to check and balance the officials of the five ministries."

"That's right." Fang Xiaoru smiled wryly: "But now, it's the other way around. Wenge is controlled by the empress, and forced by the five ministries and even the local government."

"If you want to do anything, you have to listen to them, otherwise, we can't do anything about it."

"Not tough." Tang Can frowned, a little disgusted.

"What do you know?" Zhao Yongkang listened on the sidelines and couldn't help but say: "Things are far from as simple as you think!"
