Sheng Shian

Chapter 53 Ritual System

Later in the early court, Shen deliberately did not look at Liu Changze, because he mobilized too much mind to suppress his instinct, so he didn't even hear clearly what was said in the court.

Shen went down in a daze.

Liu Changze frowned and looked at his back. He didn't know that Shen was this person, why he was so unhappy, he looked irritable when he was in a group, and depressed when he was alone.

If it wasn't for Tai Tuo's face, he would have been sent to the frontier a long time ago.

There are very long steps in the Jinluan Hall, Shen Shi accidentally stepped on the air, almost fell down, Liu Changze took two steps forward fiercely, bumped into Chang Shangshu beside him, and turned half a circle on the spot.

"My lord, are you okay?" Fushun helped Shen Shi just in time.

Shen Shi grabbed his hand in shock and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, otherwise, this fall will disgrace the queen, and I don't know how many days I will be impeached by Yushitai."

Fushun said with a smile: "If Mr. Shen falls, he is working hard for the state affairs, and it is too late to sing praises."

Shen stood up again, not quite used to flattery, so he asked directly: "Is your father-in-law on duty at the Golden Luan Hall, are you here to find me?"

"That's right, the Holy Majesty called Mr. Shen to meet him in the imperial study." Fushun said.

Shen Shi nodded and followed him.

Liu Changze was far away, seeing that he was fine, he walked outside the palace, completely ignoring the cats and dogs who were hit by him behind him.

Chang Shangshu scolded in a low voice: "Dignified Marquis, you are careless and impolite, and you are not polite, you will really embarrass Daqi!"

Fu Shangshu of the Ministry of War also looked Kong Wu in his official uniform, and he patted Chang Shangshu, "It's just that he screamed when he was hit by someone. The ten-year-old recruits in my battalion are not as delicate as you."

Chang Shangshu said angrily: "A rough warrior, what kind of gentleman do you know!"

Fu Shangshu provoked him and said: "He just proposed to cut half of your ceremony expenses, and you dare to provoke him."

"Why should I be dismissed from the Ministry of Rites, but not the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry! Do you want my Ministry of Rites to create things out of thin air for festivals and festivals throughout the year? Opening my mouth is halfway. I think he wants to make Da Qi Li collapse from joy!"

Fu Shangshu stroked Qingzhu's chin, "The Ministry of Industry is just in time for water conservancy construction, and it is too late to allocate funds. How can it be reduced? As for the Ministry of Households, it is the main collector of money. If there is any expenditure, it is best for the Ministry of Rites to start."

"It's easy for the Ministry of Rites to start, but it's difficult for the Ministry of War? Fu Shangshu should stop making sarcastic remarks, his lips are dead and his teeth are cold, and you don't want to see the soldiers stationed at the border, starving and freezing!" Chang Shangshu said with one eyelid raised.

Fu Shangshu's gaze was like an eagle, and he stood with his arms folded, like a burly door god, "The Holy One is a wise king. If there is any decision, it must be a perfect strategy. I have no complaints."

"The cost of the etiquette system has been inherited for decades. He said that half of it will be cut. If he has the courage, he will not change if he cuts it. He will not defeat my great country style. I will give up my position as Minister of Rites!"

Chang Shangshu left angrily.

In the imperial study room, Emperor Chengming flipped through the etiquette systems of the past dynasties, thinking about the feasibility of the matter discussed in the palace, and seeing that Shen had arrived, he flipped through the book and asked: "When Shen Shaoqing is still teaching, he can not be afraid of the officials. If you speak up alone, why do you seldom open your mouth now that you have reached the third division?"

Shen Shi immediately knelt down, looked at the books in his hand and on the case, recalled the debate in the next court, made up his mind, knew that he must do it, and said: "Mozi has something to say, you can't fight for it." , It cannot be called strong. The minister knows that the reduction of rituals and sanctions is not a verbal matter, so there is no dispute."

Emperor Chengming closed the book and smiled, "So Shaoqing has a good idea?"

Shen was suspicious, he should go to the Ministry of Rites and ask him what to do if he has a plan?He said: "The old rites have been used for decades, and there have long been outdated systems. We should extract the essence, discard the dross, and avoid extravagance and waste. But Song Ge's words are also thoughtful. Correcting the shortcomings is not a matter of overnight. Establish rules and establish divisions, and discuss long-term."

Cutting expenses is necessary, but not in this difficult time when the New Deal is rampant and foreign relatives are powerful, it is easy to cause people's turmoil.

Emperor Chengming tapped a memorial on the top of the desk with his fingertips, and Shen stepped forward knowingly.

Seeing the blue cloud patterns on the booklet, Shen Shi felt a thump in his heart, and opened it hesitantly.

Sure enough, Liu Changze is very courageous!

Shen Shi was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven, and he was speechless for a long time.

Emperor Chengming glanced at the servants on the left and right and said: "Shen Shaoqing clearly has a new etiquette system that covers everything, why is he pretending to be modest. After thinking about it, if we follow this system, it will be easy to cut it in half."

Shen Shi's hands were sweaty, and the official seal belonging to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple in the lower corner of the fold was smudged.

He knew that Ah Liang didn't come here in vain.

His handwriting, his official seal, is flawless.

Liu Changze actually completed the etiquette system that he completed [-]% before his death.

What is he doing at this time!

Shen Shi knelt down in an instant, his shoulders trembling with fear.

"I praise you, why are you still on your knees?" Emperor Chengming looked down at him, and said indifferently: "Could it be that you didn't submit this letter?"

If Shen Shi said no, Liu Changze would be guilty of deceiving the emperor.

Shen's Adam's apple rolled, and cold sweat rolled down his temples, "It's my minister."

"Shen Shaoqing passed on taxation and taxation to the people, and learned about the old classics and clan system, which really surprised me."

Emperor Chengming squinted his eyes and helped him up, "It is rumored that Guiguzi only accepts two disciples in his life, one is called Zong, and the other is called Heng. The two sons have talents that are unique in the world, but they are fighting to the death."

Shen Shi pursed his lips, not daring to take a breath.

Emperor Chengming smiled and continued, "I saw Nagasawa propose you to customize it today, and the cooperation is seamless, which is much stronger than fighting alone."

Shen knew that his relationship with Liu Changze had aroused the Holy Majesty's grudge.

"I am an ordinary person, I dare not compare myself to the sages, and I dare not climb up to the Marquis..." Shen explained avoiding suspicion: "There are also many shortcomings in the folds, I hope the sage will think twice!"

Seeing his objection, Emperor Chengming thought about it, nodded and said: "There are indeed deficiencies."

Shen frowned slightly.

"This book is too rough, and Shaoqing needs to fill in and revise it as soon as possible. I will order the Ministry of Rites to cooperate, and we will discuss it later. Xuan Shaoqing came today for another matter..."

It will be discussed in the future to prove that there is room for it.

Shen breathed a sigh of relief, he raised his eyes and asked, "I'm stupid, please show me clearly."

"Young people are born with nature, and habits become natural..." Emperor Chengming patted Shen Shi on the shoulder forcefully and said: "The eldest prince Lin'er is from the age of three to the critical period of cultivating xinxing. Shen Shaoqing is very familiar with the etiquette system. Wish To be Lin'er's enlightenment teacher?"

The teacher of enlightenment is supposed to be the position of Song Ge's elders, but because of the stigma of flood control, the cabinet is at a disadvantage, and Liu Mi, the new head of the Imperial Academy, should be the one...

Is this Liu Changze's intention?

Not only fulfilled the Taifu's last wish, but also prevented the Liu family from getting involved in the crown prince.

"I will do whatever the teacher wants."

Shen Shi's eyes moved slightly. How much debt he owed Liu Changze seemed to be repaid no matter what.

Shen Shi said: "Thanks to the love of the Holy Majesty, I should do my best to impart all the knowledge I have learned in my life to the First Prince."

As for the turmoil of the current situation, if it happened because of him, it will be solved by him.

Emperor Chengming looked at him for a while, and said with a smile: "I will wait and see."

Shen Shi and Emperor Chengming looked at each other, and there was an undercurrent surging inside.

As the prince's teacher, you have to report the situation of the lectures every day, so that you can get along with the emperor openly and aboveboard, and pay attention to the dynamics of the court at any time, so that Shen Shi can control the overall situation.

If we lose our horses, we can't know what a blessing is.

Shen Shi glanced at the people in the study room, saluted and left.

As soon as he left the imperial study, Shen Shi asked Fu Shun who had sent him out, "Mr. Fu, are there any idle horses outside the palace gate, can you borrow them?"

Knowing that he is the prince's teacher, Fu Shun flattered him even more, "Where is your lord going? I sent a few sensible people to drive for your lord, why bother to ride a horse yourself."

Shen Shi refused: "Thank you for your kindness, father-in-law. It's just that I'm leaving for a private matter, so it's inconvenient to bother the teacher and mobilize the public."

Seeing that he sincerely refused, Fushun stopped persuading him and personally sent him to the palace gate and arranged for the horses.

When Shen Shi left, he gave Fushun a few ingots of silver. He always prepared some for his daily trips.

Fushun remembered that when the gift was given on New Year's Day, Shen's house was so unique that they treated their eunuchs and ministers with the same courtesy, he was a little bit concerned.

Fushun returned to the Imperial Study Room, and told Eunuch Lu about the matter, "Master Shen is honest with himself, tolerant to others, and has integrity in the way, so it will be of great use."

Eunuch Lu ignored his flattery, but asked, "Did he borrow a horse from you?"

"Exactly."

"Can you see where to go?"

"Like the Hou Mansion."

Eunuch Lu smiled: "He is indeed a smart one."

In the whole world, is it the land of the king?How can there be anything that can be hidden from the eyes of the Holy Majesty, sneaky, it is better to take the initiative to confess, but open and bright.

Fushun felt that his smile was unfathomable, so he asked, "What did godfather see?"

Eunuch Lu sighed: "Teach you enough, the miscellaneous family will die."

"Bah, bah, bad luck, bad luck, godfather has a long life, and a long life." Fushun said in a low voice.

Lu An shook his head, his mouth was careless, he couldn't see things clearly, and his retirement was worrying: "You, when you go in, report this matter to the Holy Majesty, Shen Shaoqing is showing his loyalty."

Fushun went without thinking, not afraid of any traps.

Lu An's face was full of creases, and he smiled again with two nasolabial folds.Although it is a bit silly, but being able to respect love in the palace is also the first thing, it is better than raising a white-eyed wolf.

……

Shen Shi rushed to the Hou's mansion non-stop, he was in no mood to look forward and backward, and when it came to causing trouble, Liu Changze was simply the uncrowned king.

The only solution for today is to cut the mess with a sharp knife.

Shen felt that the speed was slow, so he patted the saddle several times in a row. Thinking of the scene with the study, he felt that he had narrowly escaped death.

Two more times, a hundred lives are not enough to kill Liu Changze.

Shen was running so fast that he almost appeared afterimages, but after he got off the horse, he stalked very leisurely, with a calm face.

Shen Shi took out his token and went straight into the Hou Mansion.

He thought he needed to find Liu Changze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked through the painted stone screen at the door, he saw Liu Changze sitting under the welcoming pine which was one person tall. A set of cumbersome and delicate tea sets, Ah Liang is giving away in a smooth manner, as if he was entertaining guests.

Liu Changze's stern and handsome face was faintly visible in the layers of tea smoke, only those sharp, dark eyes stared straight at him.

It seems to be a little gloating.
