Then there is no more

If you want to be a good emperor, it is difficult and easy to say.

If you don’t want to care about the sufferings of the people, don’t worry about the country being broken, and don’t worry about leaving a bad name in the history books, then the emperor is a very free job. do what.Baiguan has an opinion?Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen!People want to rebel?After all, there are still few people who will rebel.The evaluation after death is too ugly?After I die, don't care about the flood!

Throughout history, even if some emperors themselves are too absurd, as long as the IQ of the courtiers is still online, as long as they can check each other, under the constraints of orthodox Confucianism, the country is generally stable.Therefore, being an emperor is actually a very easy task.

But if the emperor wants to make great efforts to govern, to expand the territory, to let the people live a better life, to be honored as a king during his lifetime, and to be immortal after his death, then the emperor is a very difficult job. , a very high-intensity, very heavy-duty job.

Today's emperor Xianwu is such a very hard-working emperor.

Emperor Xianwu had a heart of diligence and love for the people, and he wanted to leave his name in the history books, so he was not so free as an emperor.Of course, since this is his choice, he is willing to do so in most cases.However, when it is hard, it is really hard!

For example, when Emperor Xianwu entertained all the officials, he once served a dish made from fish belly, and only the tenderest piece of meat on the belly of the fish was used for each fish.A censor had eaten the palace banquet before handing over the memorial, saying that the emperor was too extravagant and wasteful.What can the emperor do?The emperor had no choice but to smile and say thank you Aiqing for your reminder, I know I was wrong, and I will never waste it like this again.This matter, I can’t say that the censor is picky, it is indeed a bit wasteful, but when there is a lunar eclipse, where there is an earthquake, there will be officials playing to make Emperor Xianwu punish himself, the emperor is so wronged!

This time the Qiu Wei fraud case was too big, there was some turmoil in the court, and the scholars were very angry.Among the censors, there is the kind of stunned youth who participates all day long, and among scholars, there is the kind of madman who writes poems and satirizes all day long.Emperor Xianwu was furious.Is this my fault!The anger in my heart is no less than that of a scholar!I'm so angry, but I still have to try to smile to appease the scholars!The emperor felt extremely aggrieved!

What angered Emperor Xianwu the most was that he always felt that he had a strong control over the courtiers, and as a result, there was a fraud case at the feet of the emperor. Didn't this slap him in the face?And this fraud case will also bring a series of bad results, if one is not handled properly, the credibility of the court will be weakened.

Emperor Xianwu's thunderous fire burned for a whole month.And then...then he made a private visit on Weibo!

Only a few confidantes know that Emperor Xianwu is actually a person who likes private visits in micro-services.For safety reasons, the scope of his private visits is in the capital city and the suburbs of Beijing.Emperor Xianwu disguised himself as a nouveau riche businessman, and brought his in-law Wen Ge, who was also dressed as a businessman, out of the palace!

Let's talk about Mr. Wen Ge, he is a moderate one among the six elders.He usually doesn't talk much, and rarely expresses his opinions in public.Because he is the grandfather of the princess, he may sometimes avoid suspicion in some matters.He was not the most useful person of Emperor Xianwu, but he was trusted by Emperor Xianwu.

This time I went out of the palace to see the corn.

It wasn't originally, originally the emperor planned to sit in a restaurant and listen to public opinion.The fraud case has almost been dealt with, and the emperor wants to know how the public opinion is now.But Wen Ge was always afraid that the emperor would get sick after hearing the scholars' comments, so he tried his best to stop it.

Mr. Wen Ge couldn't stop it openly, he could only guide it secretly, and it happened that he had something important in his heart, so he whispered it to the emperor.

Mr. Wen Ge said that the youngest son of Shen Deyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, discovered a new grain, and Uncle Anping arranged for Zhuangzi to plant it. It is said that the yield of the new grain is good, and it can be planted in the mountains.The emperor was feeling unhappy because of the Qiuwei fraud case, and when he heard the news, he immediately felt relieved.If the new crops are really that good, as long as he spreads the new crops... his reputation among the people will immediately rise several notches!

Mr. Wen Ge didn't say much.He didn't want to take the credit of Shen Yi and Anpingbo's mansion.First of all, this is in line with his usual personality. Mr. Wen Ge has a very good reputation in Qingliu. Scholars especially like to write boudoir grievance poems to him, ah no, it is to write greetings.Secondly, even if he didn't claim credit, since he told the emperor about this matter, he must have shown his face. This kind of moistening and silent way of showing his face is more important than anything else!

Wen Gelao didn't even mention the name of the corn, only that it was a new kind of grain.Who said that an upright scholar wouldn't flatter, ah no, it's dragon flattering?He deliberately concealed his name and led the emperor to the Zhuangzi to see the new grains in person, and then the emperor gave him the name. Wouldn't the emperor be happier?

Out of town to queue.Because Emperor Xianwu and his party were dressed as businessmen, and the status of merchants was just ordinary, so Emperor Xianwu also lined up to leave the city honestly.He is surrounded by ordinary people, and there are two scholars next to him.Emperor Xianwu wanted his name, so he would definitely not engage in such things as literary prisons. The folk customs of the Guben Dynasty were relatively open. Although everyone dared not talk about the deadly political affairs of seizing the heirs in public, it was still okay to talk about fraudulent imperial examinations.

Emperor Xianwu heard two scholars complaining there.This pair of sour scholars who failed the Juren examination because of lack of knowledge wanted to say there that they had lofty ambitions and did not want to fall into the mud. Instead, they failed to pass the Juren examination for several consecutive years, which became their point of showing off.Emperor Xianwu was going to be pissed off!This feeling really sucks!I am such a shameless person, but in the end the entire face of the court was trampled by those bastards!

The bastards in Emperor Xianwu's mind were those officials involved in the case.Emperor Xianwu didn't pay attention to the two scholars at the gate of the city.But if there are too many such scholars, the emperor's reputation will inevitably be dusted.Therefore, at this moment, the emperor is even more looking forward to the new grain.

After leaving the city gate, the emperor went straight to Uncle Anping's Zhuangzi under the guidance of Elder Wen Ge.Elder Wen Ge has been there once before, he is a cautious person, if he hadn't seen the corn with his own eyes, and asked Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi carefully, it would be impossible for him to bring this matter to the Holy Majesty .

Both Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi stayed at Zhuangzi.

Hearing that a rich businessman came to the door, Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi looked at each other and went out to greet them in person.They had seen Mr. Wen Ge, and saw Mr. Wen Ge sticking a fake beard on his face, standing a step behind a rich old man, then the identity of this rich old man was ready to be revealed.Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi are young after all, seeing Sheng Jia coming, they are inevitably at a loss.Wen Ge said with a smile: "This is Boss Ping. Boss Ping is from the south. I heard that you have some novelties here, so I want to come and have a look." Emperor Xianwu's mother is a daughter of the Ping family, so he The pseudonym of Weifu's private interview is Ping.

Bian Jingyu took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, led Shen Yi to salute Emperor Xianwu as a junior, and said clearly: "I have met Mr. Ping." Mr. Guo Wen." Then, he staggered a step, stood on the side of the road, and gave way to the road behind him.

When leading the way for others, you can stand in front of that person and lead him; when leading the way for the emperor, it is best to stand behind the emperor, let the emperor walk in front, and tell the emperor where to go with your mouth.Seeing Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi standing on the side of the road and letting his group go first, Emperor Xianwu knew that they knew his identity.Emperor Xianwu pretended to be dissatisfied and glared at Mr. Wen Ge. He must have been exposed because of this old guy who dressed so well!

Old Wen Ge blinked innocently.His granddaughter married the emperor's son, who was much older than the emperor, but this did not prevent him from acting like a baby in front of the emperor.Ah, the word coquettish is a bit disgusting, it should be said that the monarch and his ministers are compatible.You must know that literati have thick skins!

Wen Ge thought to himself that the new crops were of great importance, if the children from the Bian family and the Shen family didn't recognize the emperor's identity, would the emperor still be able to see the new crops today?That must be impossible.Therefore, it is necessary to properly expose his identity, he is innocent in the first place!

The corn seeds harvested last year were all planted in the fields this spring.Part of it is planted in good ground, and part of it is for more seeds to be harvested.Some of them are planted in mountainous areas, partly to verify that corn can be grown in infertile mountainous areas.Shen Yi has been in charge of data recording, so it is natural for him to talk about the yield of corn, how easy it is to plant, and the advantages and disadvantages compared with rice, etc. at this time.

Emperor Xianwu was not the kind of person who didn't understand the suffering of people's livelihood.He once made a private visit during the autumn harvest and helped an old farmer in a village on the outskirts of Beijing harvest grain.His work was so frustrating that he was laughed at by the old farmer. The old farmer patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "Man, you rich people can't do this job." Elder Wen Ge rolled up his sleeves and cut a stubble of rice, and was praised.

So Emperor Xianwu could understand Shen Yi's explanation.He asked a few more questions that he cared about, and Shen Yi answered them one by one.A trace of nostalgia gradually appeared in Emperor Xianwu's eyes, he nodded to Shen Yi, and said gently: "Zhen...cough, it's really good, you are worthy of being the son of Benchang!"

Benchang is Shen Deyuan's word.Bian Jingyu lowered her eyebrows and narrowed her eyes, but a trace of joy flashed in her heart.It seems that Uncle Shen's return is expected!

"By the way, what's the name of the new grain? Does it have a name?" Emperor Xianwu suddenly asked.

Bian Jingyu is a person with a dexterous mind, and what Wen Ge always thought of, he also thought of it at this moment.This is a good opportunity to make dragon farts!However, Bian Jingyu didn't really want to use this opportunity to make a fool of herself.Because, the name of corn was given by Shen Yi, which represented Shen Yi's heart.No matter how mature and seasoned Bian Jingyu is, she is still a young man, and there is always some youthful innocence and straightforwardness hidden in her body.

Therefore, Bian Jingyu said succinctly: "Mr. Hui, let's name it corn for the time being."

The gratified expression on Emperor Xianwu's face became more and more obvious. He looked at Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi softly, and said, "You are all good boys. I...cough, I understand your thoughts. But Since it is a new type of grain bestowed by God, it should be promoted vigorously so that all common people can eat and afford it. Using the name 'Royal Rice' seems to be only for the royal family. How about this, the word '御' should be changed to the word '玉'." Then, Emperor Xianwu tasted it again, shook his head and said, "Corn, corn, what a good name!"

In Emperor Xianwu's opinion, the fact that Bian Jingyu and Shen Yi were able to use "Royal Rice" as the name indicated that they wanted to present new grains from the very beginning.These are all faithful people!However, Emperor Xianwu thought that he was not the kind of person with a good name, so he changed "Yumi" to corn.

Although she didn't quite understand what the emperor was talking about, Bian Jingyu showed an expression of admiration on her face, and said, "Mr. Yingming!"

Life is like a play, all depends on acting skills.These days, who is not an actor!
