Your Majesty, please do not

Liang Huan anxiously listened to what was said later, and quickly made a silent gesture to him.

Statement Zhi could see that he was listening to the movement over there, although he didn't understand the reason, he chose to shut up temporarily.

"...At that time, an edict will appear in Weiyang Palace."

"Edict? How can anyone know that there will be an accident before going out, and write the will in advance?"

"It's not a will, it's an ordinary edict, which writes about the adoption."

"Who will be adopted to whom?"

"Do you have a brain, do you even need to ask?"

……

When there was complete silence, Liang Huanfang lay back down.At this time, Chen Zhi also moved to the base of the wall, imitating his appearance and putting his ears on the wall, but he didn't hear anything.

Looking at the person beside him who closed his eyes and was going to sleep, Chen Zhi didn't want to ask anymore, he felt that he couldn't ask anything and would only be annoying.

In the early morning of the next day, Lv Shu, the minister of the household department, played a performance. A six-rank official in the capital celebrated his birthday at home, and the banquet was all vegetarian. When asked why, he said that his salary was too small and he had no money to buy meat.

This incident spread throughout the capital, making some people feel that the current salaries of officials were unreasonable, so Lu Shu played to the Emperor Ming, asking for more taxes and wage increases.

What is going on in this memorial, in fact, everyone knows it well.

Lu Shu was Ouyang Qing's henchman, and because he occupied the important position of Minister of the Household Department, Ouyang Qing threw many things directly to him, including Shang Zuo, which had nothing to do with him.

The sixth-rank official he was talking about was a student of Ouyang Qing's student. Although his salary was not much, it was just an exaggeration to have no money to buy meat.This matter spread, of course, it was also spread by the disciples.

As for why this matter came up on this day, only Liang Huan himself knew.The comments he wrote on the memorial were seen, so Ouyang Qing picked this matter out to fight back, in order to test his attitude.

Liang Huan listened to Lu Shu's report, and said: "You said that the 'harsh people and rich officials' haven't done enough, so this person has no money to buy meat?"

Lu Shu replied: "'Harvest the people and enrich the officials' has been implemented for several years, and now the people's livelihood is prosperous, and the salaries of officials have increased, but it is not enough..."

In fact, Liang Huan was also flustered. He had never quarreled in court before, so he was more or less nervous, "What is the law of people's livelihood and prosperity? Since you said this, you have to show evidence."

"This..." Lu Shu couldn't provide evidence, and they never cared about the impact of this matter on people's livelihood and economy.

Prime Minister Zuo Lin Zhuhui had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning of the debate. Seeing that Liang Huan was pushing him too hard, he had no choice but to say, "I'm afraid it won't take a while to produce evidence. Why don't you let Lu Shilang go to the Ministry of Officials, The Ministry of Households has checked the files of the past few years, and reported the specific evidence to His Majesty before making a decision."

Liang Huan still wanted to continue to press, but when he heard Lin Zhuhui say this, he understood that he was telling him to stop.

Left Prime Minister Lin Zhuhui is a veteran of the three dynasties. He has been displeased with Right Prime Minister Ouyang Qing for many years, but that's all.He is best at making peace with each other. It sounds reasonable to ask Lu Shu to go back and investigate, but in fact he just intends to confuse the matter.

How long will it last for a sixth-rank official to give birth to a child without meat?After a long time, everyone has almost forgotten about it, and the tax increase will pass.

Seeing that someone came out to make up his mind, Liang Huan, who was beating his heart, immediately agreed with Lin Zhuhui's statement.

After the court, he found that his palms were soaked in sweat, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.It's just a boring little thing, what's there to be afraid of?Or are you afraid as long as you quarrel with Ouyang Qing?

I thought it was so difficult, but it was just a few words, even if it couldn't change the overall situation, at least it could delay a small matter, so it was not useless.

Back at Weiyang Palace, Liang Huan called Lu Yin out and told him, "Go and write a letter for me, to Zhou Tong in Yongzhou, whose daughter is engaged to Chen Zhi, and tell him that he passed the exam. If you find another marriage for him here, they won't count. Then you can stamp the examiner's seal."

After the general examination is the palace examination. More than 200 scholars selected in the general examination will be re-ranked through the palace examination, and then awarded official positions according to the new rankings.

The place of the palace examination is the Palace of Preserving Harmony in the imperial palace, and the examination is only for one day.The content of the exam is three policy essays, requiring candidates to comment on current affairs.

Liang Huan had read all the exam questions, so he didn't dare to do anything about land and agricultural tax for the exam, he only picked a few questions about border wars.Yongzhou is located in a remote area, and this kind of thing should be familiar to the people there.

The reason for the statement is that because of the low ranking in the general examination, the seats in the palace examination are almost at the door.He occasionally raised his eyes to look forward, only vaguely seeing a few figures, and couldn't see everyone's faces clearly.

Huanzhen Pavilion is the largest theater building in Beijing. At this time, the building is full of voices, tables are full, and a new play is about to start.

Ma Huanzhen, the owner of the theater, walks through the tables of the guests with a big belly, greeting and bragging: "Today's play is absolutely wonderful, everyone enjoys it, please give me some rewards..."

He talked these words from table to table, and when he talked about a certain table, he suddenly noticed a person sitting at the table.

Hey, why is this young gentleman so good-looking? Look at the white teeth, bright eyes and pink lips. The skin is smooth and tender, and it must feel soft to the touch.

Ma Huanzhen, who has always been lecherous, suddenly felt a little greedy. Looking at his attire, he should not be a person of status...

Ma Huanzhen quietly moved to his side, grabbed his long and slender hand, and said with a sinister smile: "Is this the first time for guest officer to come to Huanzhen Pavilion?"

Before the other party could respond, he touched his cheek again, "It must be the first time here, otherwise how could I not recognize such a handsome face?"

Before making the statement, he backed away slightly, then frowned.

Liang Huan looked at what happened around him calmly, thinking that he was not the only one who thought that the statement was outstanding, and even an old hooligan in the theater wanted to molested him, it was really all young and old.

After thinking about it, he felt that his reaction was wrong.According to their current relationship, he should be furious when he was underestimated by others. How could he be so indifferent?No, I have to make up for it quickly.

So he jumped up against the case and yelled at Ma Huanzhen: "Boss Ma! Do you know where to put your hands? If you don't know, do you want to chop them up for you?"

As he spoke, he grabbed Ma Huanzhen's collar and threw him to the ground with all his strength.

The people around all looked this way, and Liang Huan realized that this reaction was a little overdone. He blushed, and sat back with a smile under everyone's gaze.

Chen Zhi carefully wiped the face touched by Ma Huanzhen with his sleeve, and didn't think about his behavior just now, but turned his head and slightly pursed his lips, and said softly: "Thank you."

Liang Huan hastily smiled vigorously to cover up his uneasiness just now, "How can I thank you..."

Ma Huanzhen ran to the backstage in embarrassment, and there was a burst of music on the stage, and the play began.

Today's play is called "The Mistakes of the Monarch and His Ministers". It tells the story of the love between Sun Chen, the king of a country, and his courtier He Jing.He Jing is an unsatisfactory scholar who farms at home. Due to exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, he suffers from poverty and illness, and almost starves to death on the street.As a result, at this time, he met Sun Chen who was visiting privately in Weifu. Sun Chen rescued him and promoted him to be an official in Beijing.

Seeing this, Chen Zhizhi suddenly remembered something, so he casually said to Liang Huan beside him: "Before I left Yongzhou, I visited some farmers who were struggling to make a living due to high taxes. I just wrote these on the test paper and handed it in. I thought I would be punished, but I didn’t expect to get it, which is also strange.”

Liang Huan explained to him as if nothing had happened: "Perhaps the examiner read your paper and felt that you were concerned about the country, the people and the world, and took you on purpose."

"Will it?" Statement Zhi frowned slightly.

On the stage, Sun Chen and He Jing quickly confided in each other, and they were very happy.Their relationship didn't last long, however, and the drama quickly reached its climax:

In Weiyang Palace, Sun Chen sat high on the dragon seat, looking at He Jing who was prostrate on the ground, "I want to rest at the imperial concubine's place tonight, He Qing came late at night, why?"

He Jing kowtowed to the ground, "Your Majesty, please listen to the minister's words - I am honored to be favored by you, and you will bring me to Beijing and stay in the palace. I would like to keep your chastity as one person. Unexpectedly, your majesty will take concubines and concubines, and the joy will never stop every night." . Your Majesty, Chen Fuqi, remember the old love a little bit."

Sun Chen was furious when he heard the words, pointed at He Jing and shouted: "Bold! Presumptuous! ——I am glad that He Jing gave you the rain and dew. You don't think of the king's kindness, but you are arrogant. You serve me on the bed, and it is your duty to keep chaste; How can a supreme ruler in the world be equal to you? Disrespecting the sovereign is a felony!"

He Jing cried loudly: "The guilty minister wholeheartedly serves the king, but unexpectedly he is infatuated and merciless. If Your Majesty abandons the oath of the past, the guilty minister will leave the imperial city immediately, and the mountains and roads will never be seen again!"

Sun Chen turned his head away from him, and said arrogantly: "He Jing is the person on my couch, how can I let you leave the imperial city? After you go to me, you will have another heart, and then you will get into other people's couch?"

……

Chen Zhi regretted going to see this kind of play with him. He only heard that it was about love, but he didn't expect it to be sad and arrogant, which made him very uncomfortable.

However, Liang Huan watched it with relish, and commented over there: "This emperor's acting is not good, he is petty, and he doesn't have that taste at all."

"I think so too," said Chen Zhi casually, "how can a king like his subjects, it's so unruly."

When he said this, Liang Huan disagreed: "Why can't the king like his courtiers, there are all kings' courtiers in the world, according to what you say, the emperor will die alone?"

Chen Zhi couldn't help laughing, and persuaded: "Don't say such things, and let others hear it, it's not good."

In the sky prison, He Jing was pardoned because it was in time for the Longevity Festival to amnesty the world.But when Sun Chen came to pick him up, He Jing couldn't control his emotions when the imperial concubine was mentioned.

"... Jealousy and fear are tormenting my heart, I am ashamed and regretful that I dare not serve the king. I am afraid that I will have another heart in this world, so I will bid farewell to Your Majesty, and I will never give up..."

Sun Chen scolded He Jing again, and finally said: "If you are reluctant to let me go, but you don't, where can you go?"

After hearing this, He Jing stepped forward on his knees, pulled out the saber from Sun Chen's waist, and stabbed at his heart.

There was a sigh of relief from the audience.Liang Huan shook his head and sighed, "Whoever made up this story is really tragic."

Chen Zhi said lightly: "He Jing also deserves it, knowing that the other party is a king and still wishful thinking, isn't it self-inflicted."

"I don't agree with what you said," Liang Huan moved towards him, arguing with him seriously, "He Jing was fine, but Sun Chen abandoned him to find a noble concubine, he is clearly a heartless man!"

"Which courtier is right? It's all the king's fault?"

Hearing what he said, Liang Huan finally understood why he quarreled with the candy blower peddler that day, and said with a frown, "Chen Xingli, you are really a scholar, you are so good at studying human relations..."

"Am I wrong?"

When he said this, Liang Huan began to think that after the palace examination, he would be an official in the court.If he thinks this way...it's so embarrassing, why don't we meet each other.

Thinking of this, Liang Huan suddenly wanted to tease him.So he leaned over and lay down on the table, resting his chin on his hand, raised his head and said, "Hey, Xingli, just assume, I mean suppose, if you are He Jing, and you fall in love with Sun Chen, Sun Chen will also I saw you, what do you do?"

One of the statements replied solemnly: "If I have a crush on him, then I will find a way to make myself not to fall in love with him. If he has a crush on me, then I have no choice but to do what I want."

It was the first time Liang Huan found this person so weird.So obedient, let him come to sleep?None of the veteran officials in the court would have such thoughts.

Only then did Chen Zhi realize: "Lin Chengping, do you want to assume that you can use yourself? Why do you bring me...Who am I looking for, you don't know yet?"

Liang Huan was stunned, who did he see?I do not know.Could it be yourself?No, it's impossible.

When the play ended, Ma Huanzhen walked onto the stage and began to brag about his play.After bragging about it, he said: "If you watch it well, there will be someone waiting at the door when you go out, don't forget to give a little reward!"

What he said annoyed Liang Huan. When he came in, he didn't buy a ticket, and when he went out, he asked people to wait at the door to collect the money. Isn't this a robbery?Thinking of what he did to the statement just now, Liang Huan became very angry.

He looked around and found that the two people sitting next to him also looked a little angry, so he turned his head and whispered a few words to them.

The author has something to say: statement: woo woo woo, this drama is so miserable, why is it so bad...

Liang Huan: My Moonstone is ready!
