I want to ruin the country

Chapter 68 Beautiful eyes and clear eyes

Sai Shang'a is unhappy, but there are people who are happy!

Wen Qingle's money was exposed. The emperor brought back more than two million silver coins during his trip to the palace. Now the uterus no longer has to worry about money!

Yining asked him proudly,

"Well, I said you won't be able to spend your money then, right?"

Wenqing's eyes are so sweet that they seem to be dripping with sugar water.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I admire you. If we can deal with more of these bully landlords, we'll have more freedom!"

Yining glanced at him,

"You're not afraid of having too much money, but sooner or later this money will be spent on the people!"

Wen Qing was stunned.

"Your Majesty, do we need to take out the money that has entered the treasury?"

Yining Road,

"There will be a lot more money coming into the treasury in the future. Can you spend it?"

"There's so much money, what else do we have?"

Yining Road,

"From now on, any money I earn will be placed with you, but it won't all be for you to spend. With fewer people in the palace, we won't have much to spend. We need to do big things!"

Wen Qing asked in confusion,

"Then why not put it directly into the Ministry of Revenue?"

Yining Road,

"Because the Ministry of Revenue is disobedient!"

"I don't understand!"

Yining sighed.

"Once the money reaches the Ministry of Revenue, I have no say in how it is spent!"

Wen Qing certainly understood that although even the country belonged to the emperor, the cabinet, the minister of military affairs, and the minister of state all had the right to interfere in how the Ministry of Revenue's money was spent.

But the inner treasury is different. It is the money of the emperor’s family, and the emperor can spend it however he wants. This is called the difference between inside and outside!

Wenqing understood that the emperor was reminding him that you'd better not force me to decide how to spend the money, otherwise I can find someone else!

Man Hing Road,

"I understand! This is the emperor's private treasury. The emperor has the final say on how to spend it!"

Yining Road,

"You're right. If I keep it with you, it's my private money. I can use it to provide disaster relief or do whatever I want. The censors won't have anything to say."

Wenqing laughed and said,

"Your Majesty is wise. I'm afraid Sai Shang'a will be mad to death!"

Yining Road,

"I haven't taken a penny from their Ministry of Revenue, so their income won't be affected. Even if I spend money to get things done, it will still reduce their pressure!"

"Your Majesty is right. They are relieved now. They should be grateful to Your Majesty!"

Yining Road,

"It doesn't matter whether they are grateful or not, as long as they don't make trouble, thank God!"

Wenqing said,

"I also think that Master Sai might feel wronged!"

Yining Road,

"The porridge is being distributed. Send someone to take a look when you have time. Tell me what you see!"

"Whoo!"

Wen Qing was in a good mood and happily took his leave. When he reached the Qianqing Gate, he couldn't help singing,

"I'm watching the mountain scenery from the city wall..."

He left leisurely!

After Zhang Changtian finished his grandmother's funeral, he and his sister went to Beijing to meet the emperor.

That day in Pingxi Mansion, Zhang Qingxi was wearing very torn clothes and she was crying the whole time without even looking up. Yining hadn't looked at her face carefully, but today she was shocked to see how stunning she was.

No wonder Zhang Moting risked his life and several generations of family fortune for her. She is really too beautiful. If Zhang Qingxi is not considered a peerless beauty, then there is no other woman in the world who can be worthy of these four words!

Yining wondered why her family's poverty, lack of food and clothing did not hinder her growth.

Zhang Qingxi is tall, with a graceful figure, picturesque features, and delicate skin on her face, especially her two big watery eyes that are captivating!

This child doesn't look like she's fifteen or sixteen, she looks like seventeen or eighteen, very mature. If she were to be made the queen, it would be so prestigious!

Don’t give the good cabbage to other pigs, keep it for yourself!

Yining asked Zhang Changtian,

"How did your grandmother's funeral go?"

Chapter Chang Tian Dao,

"I am deeply grateful to Your Majesty for bestowing me with this silver. My grandmother has been able to rest in peace. On behalf of my grandmother in the afterlife, I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Yining Road,

"That's good, get up and sit down!"

Zhang Changtian and his sister did not get up. Zhang Changtian said,

"Your Majesty, my father has passed away. I should be mourning for my father and grandmother, so I'm afraid I can't be by your side any longer!"

Yining said in his heart, that won’t do. If you don’t come, your sister has no reason to come!

Yining Road,

"That's true, but don't be too pedantic. Three years of mourning will waste your best years. How many three years do we have in a lifetime?"

Chapter Chang Tian Dao,

"It has always been the way for children since ancient times. It's what ordinary people should do!"

Yining Road,

"That's quite true. Ministers have a saying about seizing love. You are a commoner, so I can't give you any orders. But there are a few things I want you to think about!"

"Listen to the teachings of the Lord!"

“Rules are dead, but people are alive. We must learn to adapt to everything!

Take me for example. If I really observe three years of mourning for the late emperor, what will happen to the national affairs? Can I abandon the millions of ordinary people?

As long as you have filial piety in your heart, the form doesn’t matter, don’t you think?

The emperor used himself as an example, and Zhang Changtian would not dare to refute even if he had a hundred courage. Besides, the emperor was his savior!

"Hail, that's a lesson!"

Yining said again,

"What our ancestors hope most is that their children and grandchildren can live and work in peace and happiness!

If this is not possible, even if I live in a hut and observe mourning for ten years, will their spirits in heaven rest in peace?"

"I understand!"

"I think if we can use some of the energy we put into being filial to our ancestors to do great things, and gain great abilities, and help more people live a good life, wouldn't our ancestors be happier?"

Chapter Chang Tian Dao,

"Your teachings are like a revelation. I now understand!"

Yining Road,

"Well, I will temporarily place you in the Hanlin Academy so that you can learn how to be an official first.

I will give you some information on ideological education. You should study it carefully and come to talk to me every now and then. If there is anything you don’t understand, I will teach you!

Yining has already thought of what Zhang Changtian should do. He wants to train him to be a political cadre, specializing in ideological and political work, which will be indispensable in the future army and officialdom!

Zhang Changtian kowtowed,

"I obey your order!"

Yining Road,

"You don't have an official status, so it's inconvenient for you to enter and leave the palace. I grant you the title of Jinshi and appoint you as an editor in the Hanlin Academy, a seventh-rank official!"

"Thank you so much! But I want to pass the imperial examination and gain fame!"

What? Not only Yining was surprised, even Yifang and the others were stunned.

Zhang Changtian easily obtained the title of Jinshi, which others might not be able to achieve in their entire lives.

This is a qualitative leap in life, a watershed between officials and the people. Once we cross this line, situations like that day where we are bullied will never happen again.

If you are appointed as a county magistrate in the future, you will have the power of life and death. A county with at least hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, will regard you as their father and mother.

But he just refused!

Yining nodded. It seemed that he had not misjudged the person. Zhang Changtian was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem. He was afraid that others would say that he was opportunistic and had obtained his position in an improper way.
