don't want to be emperor

Although Xia Mingqiu called Li Yi over, it was really impulsive, and he didn't even think about what to say to Li Yi.I searched my guts and found out "Is the work going well?" "Do you get along well with colleagues?" "Do you think there is anything that needs to be improved in our Imperial Academy's rules and regulations or the environment?" and so on. .Li Yi replied as if walking on thin ice, while thinking in his heart, "What kind of information does Your Majesty want to get out of me, a small conservatorium? Is there something the court wants to do?"

Questions about work were quickly finished. Although the atmosphere was always awkward, Xia Mingqiu still didn't want to be so fast in his selfishness, so he could only let his brain spin rapidly.

"Hey, Li Aiqing, how is your father Lingtang?"

"Thanks to Your Majesty's blessings, my parents are in good health."

"How about brother Ling and sister-in-law?"

"...Thanks to His Majesty's blessings, the husband and wife are in harmony with each other."

"Is your nephew enlightened? Do you need to find a better teacher?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your care. My nephew is just three years old this year. He plans to learn to read and write next year. The teacher has not yet been determined."

Hearing that Li Yi's little nephew was undecided as a teacher, Xia Mingqiu was overjoyed, and pretended to be natural, "Well, enlightening literacy is a big deal, and we need to find a better teacher. Li Aiqing, what do you think of Mr. Zhang Shengmin?"

Li Yi was shocked when he heard Zhang Shengmin's name, and bowed his hands to Xia Mingqiu. "Mr. Zhang is a great Confucianist in the dynasty, how dare he let Mr. Zhang be the first teacher of my nephew."

"Mr. Zhang used to be the widow's enlightenment teacher. He is kind and friendly, knowledgeable, witty and insightful, and he likes playing with children. I think it's kind. After I became the prince, Mr. Zhang resigned for a while. I have heard people say that I have been living in Qingshi Lane in Shengjing. I haven’t seen you for a long time, and I miss you very much when I mention it today. Well, it’s settled. I went to invite Mr. Zhang just to comfort my missing. "

What Xia Mingqiu said made it difficult for Li Yi to refuse again. Moreover, it is the dream of many people to let Mr. Zhang Shengmin be a teacher. Today, this luck falls on my nephew. For my nephew, I am not good. reject.At the moment, I can only salute respectfully and express my gratitude.

Being able to help Li Yi, Xia Mingqiu felt very satisfied.Originally here, Xia Mingqiu was about to bid farewell to Li Yi and return to the palace, but for some reason, he looked at Li Yi who was standing against the light in the sunset, and grunted, "Does Aiqing have a marriage?"

I don't know if it's the sunset glow or what, but the faces of both of them are covered with a thin layer of red.

"My minister is not yet married."

Because of this sentence, Xia Mingqiu's happiness that he had finally suppressed just now began to rise up uncontrollably, showing at the corner of his mouth.Fortunately, Li Yi kept his head down to show respect, so he never saw it.

After bathing at night, Xia Mingqiu lay on the dragon bed and played with the sachet under the pillow. Thinking of what Li Yi said today as "not yet married", his heart felt softer and happier, and his two snow-white and straight calves couldn't help but stand up and dangle.

By the way, Li Yi sent this sachet to himself, so he has to give him something like what is said in the scriptures, so that we can build a relationship with each other, hehe~

But what to give?Gold, silver and jewelry are too vulgar, not suitable for Li Yiqing's temperament, and they are not sincere.What should I give?Xia Mingqiu put down the sachet in his hand, then reached out to the small box by the bed and took out a few scripts, looking for inspiration at a glance.

"Your Majesty, wake up, it's time to go up."

Xia Mingqiu woke up when he heard Xifu's voice, only then did he realize that the book was still covering his face, and he didn't know when he fell asleep last night.Getting up, he found that the sachet was confiscated, he was pressed under his body last night, and his mouth was a little loose, which made Xia Mingqiu feel very distressed. Fortunately, Xifu was skillful, and he tied the mouth again in two or three strokes.Xia Mingqiu touched the sachet in his hand with pity, and then put it back under the pillow with great care.

When Xia Mingqiu went to court, he was still thinking about what to give?

"Your Majesty, I have a copy of the report, which is related to the case of corruption along the river dams in Huainan. I hope Your Majesty will read it."

"What to give?" Xia Mingqiu realized something was wrong as soon as the words came out, and before Xia Mingqing glanced over, he quickly cleared his throat, "Cough, present it here, and wait for the widow to read it and give instructions."

Xia Mingqiu is used to pretending, and looks like a wolf with a big tail.That's what I said, but I didn't dare to intervene in this matter rashly, so I could only collect it first, and make Zhu Zhu after Brother Dahuang read it.

After coming down to court, Xia Mingqiu had just sat down in the imperial study when someone reported to King Anping to see him outside the door.Xia Mingqiu waved his hand, Xuan.

A set of rituals for monarchs and ministers came down, without saying much, and went straight to the point.

Although Xia Mingqiu didn't quite know what was written in the scriptures, but it was related to the dams along the river and the lives of the people along the river, and he knew that this matter was by no means a trivial matter.Sure enough, I only saw Xia Mingqing frown more and more. After reading it, I saw Xia Mingqing lose his composure in front of the palace for the first time - directly photographed the memorial on the desk, and gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know the heights of heaven and earth! It's too presumptuous!"

Xia Mingqiu was taken aback by him, and froze for a long time without daring to speak, the dragon claw that was about to lift up to pick up the pen froze in mid-air.Fortunately, Xia Mingqing recovered quickly, and hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty will forgive you for your disrespect in front of the palace."

Xia Mingqiu waved his hands again and again after hearing this, "My widow pardons you for not guilty, it must be because the people who participated in it did something too outrageous."

"Yes, years ago, the national treasury allocated 400 million taels of snowflake silver for Huainan's water control and construction of dams. But this abominable Huainan prefect Shaoyin and his officials embezzled 330 million taels of river silver!" Xia Mingqiu couldn't help but stare slightly when he heard this. Big eyes.However, Xia Mingqing's words are not over yet: "These people put the 330 million taels of silver into their own pockets, and even collected a 'river governance tax' from the people of Huainan Prefecture in the name of the court. Each household must hand over one tael of silver. If you don’t have any money, you will use the strong men to repair the river. The people in Huainan Prefecture are living in poverty, but these people spend their days drinking and drinking, drunk and dreaming of death!" Speaking of this, Xia Mingqiu only saw that the memorial that Xia Mingqing had just slapped on the table was grabbed.With such a hard cover, you can grab it as soon as you say it... Although it shouldn't be, Xia Mingqiu's brain activities are still crooked at this time, and he quietly swallowed his saliva.

"If it wasn't for Tai Changqing who accompanied his wife home to visit relatives, and happened to go to see the progress of the river repair, and happened to hear the strong men talking in private, and secretly ordered someone to investigate late at night, the court is still kept in the dark by these moths! Blinded by selfish desires The court trampled on the common people, they deserved to be killed!"

"These people are really hateful!" After listening to Xia Mingqing's words, Xia Mingqiu realized the seriousness of the matter no matter how ignorant he was, and now he was frowning and puffing his face to fight against the enemy! "What do you want, big brother?"

"Forbearance! Hold it down and don't approve, let's go for a long time to catch big fish. Jiang Bieyang, the Shao Yin of Huainan Prefecture, who is subservient to the fourth rank, needs to have such a big belly if he wants to swallow the 330 million silver without anyone noticing it. Besides, this person has been promoted too fast in recent years. If there is no one behind him, I will not believe it. So now I have to endure and wait until the big fish behind him surface. Moreover, the nets cast by the previous emperor in the past few years are almost the same. It's almost time to draw the net, now it's not beautiful to pull the whole body and startle the snake."

Thinking of the late emperor's net, Xia Mingqiu nodded. He knew better than anyone what role he played in this net. Since the big emperor said that the net was about to be closed, there was not much time left for him. .Before things come to a perfect conclusion, I also hope that I and Li Yi can have a good result.

The author has something to say: Looking at the gap between the first point and the last point, I don’t know why I don’t feel sad, but think hahaha, maybe it’s a question of knowing my own ability level (cover my face) Come on and write, for me It is a kind of success to be able to persist in writing this!
