Jia Qiang said curiously: "Your Majesty, is this still a minister? All the great scholars are ministers of Jiuli, don't they know?"

Han Bin said with a smile: "Jia Qiang, if an official reaches a certain height, there will not be many bad things around him. What can we see just by looking at him? When we go down to inspect and inspect, we are all good officials who love the people like children." The elders in the local villages often speak good things."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said, "Yuan Fu's words are probably not sincere."

Han Bin laughed and said, "Why isn't it true?"

Jia Qiang said: "Yuan Fu has been in office for a long time, and has been a foreign official in other provinces for 30 years. No matter what, it is impossible to see the disgusting things in the officialdom. Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, and those officials flatter the superior and humiliate the inferior. It is more filial than serving his own father. He also regards subordinate officials as slaves and domineering. The atmosphere in the officialdom is not right, and buying and selling officials is nothing new. These are just kidding ?”

Han Bin looked at Jia Qiang and said with a smile: "The old man knows that you are cynical and can't say anything good. If all the officials in the world are black and there are so many officials in the capital, why are they slowly turning around? In the past, yes The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked. If there is something good at the top, it will be bad at the bottom. Now it is different..."

The Ministry of Internal Affairs borrowed money and food several times, which made the New Deal much faster than expected, so Han Bin is very pleasing to Jia Qiang at the moment.

Jia Qiang shook her head ignorantly and said, "Now the emperor and Ban Shangong are pressing and watching closely. They will naturally correct some mistakes, but in essence, they resist this in their hearts. They are officials for the sake of To become a master is to enjoy the blessings and make a fortune. It is difficult for them to take the rise and fall of the world as their own responsibility. They have never believed that Banshangong's examination method will always be strictly enforced...

Your Majesty, in fact, you shouldn't ask me about such matters, because I don't understand that when most scholars are studying, they mostly have the ambition of helping the world and the people, and they take it as their duty to help the society.The so-called establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the living and the people, inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and establish peace for all generations.Zhang Zi said four words, I believe that every scholar has been inspired by this and even has tears in his eyes, everyone vowed to be a good official.But why, within a few years of entering the officialdom, most of them have become greasy bureaucrats. They hardly have any bottom line and dignity for money, official position, beauty, and clean name?

The minister guessed that it was because they only took the belief of worrying about the world's worries first and enjoying the world's joys as a slogan in their hearts. They themselves had never believed it, so how could they do it?And if it is because they have no faith in their hearts that they quickly become corrupt and greasy as soon as they enter the officialdom, then how can they cultivate firm beliefs from the first time they tie their hair and study?

When I went south and met many officials in succession, all of whom were greasy bureaucrats, I was also puzzled, even at this moment I didn't want to understand. "

Emperor Long'an pinched his brows with some difficulty, and said: "If the imperial court has a way to solve these problems fundamentally, what kind of Yushitai and Dali Temple do we need? Everyone is a sage, even I don't need it." It's... What are you thinking about all day long? Did I ask you this?"

Jia Qiang said "Oh" embarrassingly, and said, "I think too much."

Zhang Gu laughed and said: "Ning Hou, does it mean that the emperor and our military planes came to ask you how to clean up the government?"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows, and said: "Smart and eager to learn, don't be ashamed to ask. Although you are all the most intelligent people in the world, if you really ask me for advice, isn't it a shameful thing?"

Several university scholars laughed when they heard the words, and Emperor Long'an also sneered.

Seeing Emperor Long'an frowning and looking at him, Jia Qiang took it as soon as he saw it, and replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, anyway, the officials I saw killed ten of them, and nine of them were not wronged. The remaining one who was wronged, It’s because he was only sentenced to eight thousand miles.”

Emperor Long'an heard the words, pondered for a while, then sighed suddenly, and said to Han Bin, Lin Ruhai and others: "Although the start of the capital city is relatively easy, the situation in other provinces is more complicated and worse. Dear friends, don't take it lightly. You still need to make persistent efforts. Carry out the New Deal!"

All the academicians hurriedly bowed to obey the order, and Emperor Long'an saw that there was another person who was an eyesore, so he waved his hand and said: "Go to Fengzao Palace, the empress still has something to ask for you."

After Jia Qiang hurriedly agreed, she quit the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

After coming out, he found a servant and asked him to guide him to Fengzao Palace.

Going to the East Hall of Fengzao Palace, I saw Empress Yin, Ke and County King Li Xuan all present.

After seeing the ceremony, Empress Yin had a rare expression of solemnity, and said in a deep voice, "Jia Qiang, you and Li Xuan will go to Jingling immediately and take Yiping County King back to Beijing."

Jia Qiang was stunned when she heard the words, and after bowing down, she raised her eyes to look at Yinhou, then at Li Xuan, and asked softly, "Your Majesty, why are you suddenly going to take King Yiping back to the capital?"

Empress Yin sighed and said: "The queen mother heard that the king of Yiping County was seriously ill in Jingling and no one was taking care of him. He has not had water or rice for a day and a night. You pick it up and let her old man have a look at it, and then send it back. Go quickly, Go and come back quickly, remember, don’t let the wind leak.”

Chapter 772 Mother Kneeling Son

Jingling is in the north of the capital, more than a hundred miles away.

Go faster on horseback, you will arrive in half an hour.

But Jia Qiang and Li Xuan were not in such a hurry, they ran so fast, the night wind was so cold...

After leaving the capital, the wind became stronger.

Even though he was wearing a cloak, it was still cold.

Jia Qiang asked people to find another big cloak, and put it in front to keep out the wind, and covered her face with fox fur.

Seeing his outfit, Li Xuan almost fell off the horse laughing, but after riding on the horse for a short time, the boy stopped, asked his personal guards to donate a cloak, found a piece of fox fur, and dressed up as usual.

After Jia Qiang laughed twice, she complained: "Your family is the same, why don't you take care of the old lady? Anyone can spread anything..."

Li Xuan scolded: "You are eating light grass ashes and farting lightly! That's the queen mother, the mother of the grandfather, what can you think of it? Now that she has been raised by her, she can still be isolated from the inside and outside and not allowed to see people." No way? Those lonely and widowed old concubines in the clan come to the palace to talk about the ancient times, and my father has to be polite when they see them. Do you think they are all like you, jumping out of rocks?"

Jia Qiang laughed angrily, "Nonsense!"

When did Tianjia become so humane?

But it's hard to say, Emperor Long'an has secured the throne, and Empress Dowager Tian is his own mother after all, can she really be punished?

When the Supreme Emperor was on his way, Jiuhua Palace was surrounded for a while because of the unstable situation.

But in only half a month, there were raging criticisms in the clan, and there were many noises among the people.

Imprisoning the Empress Dowager and imprisoning the mother with the son is absolutely unacceptable to anyone, and it is a horrific act that violates filial piety.

Later, it was released. Although foreign ministers could not see him, the imperial family's wives could enter the palace to see them.

But the clan will not enter the palace when they are idle, only those old wives of the clan who are not afraid of death when they are tired of life, and their children and grandchildren are mostly generals and assistants of the country, and they don’t feel sorry for them when they are abolished, love to go to the palace.

People see more, right and wrong will follow naturally.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite, and it seems that Tianjia is no exception.

only……

"I compromised this time, what should I do next time?"

Jia Qiang felt that it was not safe. The old lady acted as a monster, and the methods were endless.

Li Xuan shrugged and said, "How does Lord know? How about we give Li Han a good beating so that he doesn't mess around in front of the Queen Mother?"

Jia Qiang laughed and said, "You're going to die!"

The two talked and laughed, and walked all the way to Jingling.

After the battalion generals stationed here showed the palace handbook, they entered the inner hall, and saw Li Han, the king of Yiping County who was in high spirits before, and challenged Emperor Long'an to force the palace at the funeral of the Supreme Emperor.

In less than half a year, Li Han's hair had already turned gray, he was surprisingly thin, and the royal robe on his body was also wrinkled.

Just seeing Jia Qiang and Li Xuan coming, he was still mean and stubborn: "Li Zhe couldn't help it, and sent his useless son and the rebellious minister of the Supreme Emperor to deliver poisoned wine and white silk?"

Li Xuan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Uncle Fourteen, my nephew is here to take you back to the palace."

Li Han sneered at first, then his face suddenly turned pale, and he trembled with tears in his eyes: "That bastard, Li Zhe, even killed his mother...even his mother?"

Hearing his horrific words, the faces of the surrounding soldiers turned blue. Jia Qiang said in a deep voice, "The prince is careful! It is the queen mother who is too worried about the prince. The emperor can't bear the pain of the queen mother, so he sent the king of Kehe and his ministers away." Come here to pick up the prince. As long as the prince still has the slightest bit of filial piety, he dare not continue to speak rebellious and arrogant words. After all, these words are of no use other than being nonsense and making the prince laugh like a bitter woman."
