such as Yue Linyuan

The next day when Liang Chen entered the palace for an audience, Chu Yuezhi hadn't said anything, but Liang Chen had already knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, my friends have offended you a lot the day before yesterday, and I hope your majesty will forgive me."

Chu Yuezhi hadn't looked up at Liang Chen after he entered the Hall of Mental Cultivation. Hearing this, he approved the memorial in his hand and said, "I haven't said anything yet. Liang Jijiu is in a hurry to plead guilty." , if I planned to expose it and not mention it, how can I step down when I kneel down for the cold sacrificial wine?"

Liang Chen kowtowed his head before straightening up. Today, Si Yuanting went back to his residence, and he is not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at the moment.Liang Chen looked up at Chu Yuezhi from bottom to top, and suddenly said surprisingly: "Your Majesty, I have a habit of cutting off sleeves."

After finishing the reply on the memorial, Chu Yuezhi raised his eyelids to look at Liang Chen who was kneeling below, and asked in a straight voice, "Liang Jijiu, do you know what you are talking about?"

Liang Chen suddenly understood the moment he saw the couple hugging each other by the window of the wing room on the second floor on the street after leaving the teahouse that day. The unexplainable reason why Si Yuanting appeared in the teahouse together.

Because of this, Liang Chen decided to tell Chu Yuezhi at this seemingly inappropriate moment what made him kicked out of the house and was not accepted by the world.

"Your Majesty, although I have broken sleeves, I only respect Mr. Si and never have any other intentions." Liang Chen not only confessed, but even boldly expressed his conjecture, "I know myself, and Your Majesty is even more far away." If you can't, Your Majesty doesn't have to worry that the minister will become a toad and want to eat swan meat, and feel disrespectful to Mr. Si."

Putting the writing brush back on the pen holder, Chu Yuezhi put the finished memorial aside, looked at Liang Chen, and said without anger: "Liang Jijiu, making wild guesses about the relationship between me and the chief assistant Not a smart move."

"Your Majesty, I have no intention of being a courtier who spy on the secrets of the palace, but I am neither blind nor stupid. Although His Majesty has already established a queen and has the eldest son of the emperor, the person who is really with His Majesty will always be Lord Si. Right." Liang Chen accidentally discovered the fact that Si Yuanting never lived in Zhen Guohou's Mansion, and Si Yuanting was always the first to arrive every morning, every time he came to Yangxin Hall, Si Yuanting didn't Already waiting outside the hall, even discussing matters with Chu Yuezhi in the hall, and all kinds of clues connected together, he can only come to this conclusion.

"Speaking such treasonous words in front of me, cold sacrificial wine, do you think you can bear the consequences?" Even though his courtiers saw through, Chu Yuezhi still calmly did not show any emotion , just looking at Liang Chen, to see what this extremely daring courtier wants to do.

"I just want to show my loyalty to Your Majesty." Liang Chen knelt straight and said: "Your Majesty, I have a beloved person in my heart, and I have sworn to the Buddha that I only want this person in my life."

"Oh?" Chu Yuezhi rested his chin on his hand with great interest, and asked half-jokingly: "The beloved who served the sacrificial wine, couldn't it be the scholar who was in the teahouse that day?"

Liang Chen shook his head, he gave a faint wry smile, and said, "Your Majesty, my beloved is no longer in this world."

With a slight frown between his brows, Chu Yuezhi didn't speak, just waiting for Liang Chen to speak.

"I... When I was young, I went to a private school and met a man who was seriously ill but was full of talent. He was more than ten years older than me, and taught me a lot of truths. I was willing to deviate from the old ways for him, and begged for five years to be loved by him. It's a pity that there is no holiday, and the minister was kicked out of the house to marry him, and he died of illness within half a year." Liang Chen's voice was cold, and he finished his secret past in a few words, his tone was so flat, as if he was saying In his previous life that had nothing to do with him, every word he uttered was so heavy and so sad.

Putting down the rules and looking straight at Chu Yue, Liang Chen said: "My real name is Shen Zhiya, and Liang is my husband's surname. Before my husband left, I hoped that one day I would become a good minister of the Daheng Kingdom, so my minister The name was changed to Liangchen, the word Chen means affection, and it represents the affection you have for your husband. Your Majesty, I dare to say that I have seen the best and most amazing man in this world in this life. To Yu Chen, he is nothing more than an ordinary product in the world."

The censer on the imperial case is rising with wisps of white mist, and the calming fragrance spreads in the main hall of the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The invisible time and air seem to stop flowing at this moment.

Liang Chen's back was facing the sunlight coming in from outside the hall, Qing Jun's face was like the lightest ink painting, leaving a large area of ​​blank space to find the emotions he should have; Chu Yuezhi was sitting on the throne, looking into Liang Chen's eyes but saw In his eyes, the loneliness accumulated year after year.

After being silent for a long time, Chu Yuezhi finally spoke slowly: "Dare to say that my husband is ordinary in front of me, Liang Chen, I'm afraid you really don't want to live."

Picking up the rectification proposal for the details of government school content reform that Liang Chen had handed over, Chu Yuezhi handed it over to Wang Zhong, who was standing by the side, and signaled to take it to Liang Chen. After Liang Chen took the proposal with both hands, Chu Yuezhi said: " Since Liang Jijiu wants to be a good minister, then prove to me that you have the ability to be a good minister. In the next scientific examination, I hope that those who participate in the palace test will not be the elm-headed ones taught in the past few years."

"Minister, take the decree." Liang Chen held the proposal in his hand, bowed his body and kowtowed.

After half a day, Chu Yuezhi sat in front of the case, but he never opened any of the memorials on the case.

He just sat quietly, holding the jade pendant around his waist in his hand, looking at the incense burner for a long time.

Wang Zhong has been waiting on the sidelines, when he turned on the incense burner to add incense when the spices were almost burnt out, he suddenly heard Chu Yuezhi ask: "Wang Zhong, do you have someone you like?"

The eunuch who was adding spices to the incense burner was stunned, showing a blank look for the first time in a long time, and replied: "Your Majesty, slaves have been working as eunuchs in the palace since childhood, and they don't understand love."

"That's right, I made things difficult for you." Chu Yuezhi also knew that the palm print eunuch beside him had never experienced that, but after he was silent for a while, he asked again: "In your opinion, if I die, what will Master Si do?" how?"

How could Wang Zhong have thought that Chu Yuezhi would ask such a question, so he knelt down immediately in fright, and said in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, you can't say that!"

Chu Yuezhi didn't need him to answer, he knew very well what the answer was.

He was just thinking about how Liang Chen had the courage to live alone with his memories. He still dare not think about it. If Si Yuanting was really ordered to be executed, or if Si Yuanting killed himself after pushing him to the throne of God, then what would it be like if he was left to live alone in this world.

Is it possible that in this life, you can only chase after the figure of the young man in your dream who can't see his face clearly?

All along, he knew that he could not live without Si Yuanting, but these days, when he gradually began to feel Si Yuanting's emotions through the poison in his body, he realized that Si Yuanting Tell him that he should be born in the light and live in the light, how heavy are these words.

Si Yuanting had said before when the two were warm, that he was actually unwilling to let him go to the battlefield again, because he was afraid, and every time he touched those unfading achievements on him, Si Yuanting would feel palpitations.

He is the pillar of Si Yuanting's life, without him, no matter whether the Gu medicine still works or not, Si Yuanting will not survive; only with him, Si Yuanting will be around.

Beginning with the simultaneous restructuring of official examinations, official education, and official academic content, Chu Yuezhi officially began to implement the New Deal.

In May of the first year of the Qing Dynasty, Chu Yuezhi ordered the Ministry of Rites to choose a date to hold the post-sealing ceremony. In June, the post-sealing ceremony was held in Fengtian Hall, and Si Zhuxi was officially registered as the mother of a country.In July, Huangfu Liangyu, who inherited the title of general, went to the frontier with Wei Yunxiao to defend as a lieutenant general.In September, because the clan and local dignitaries who were dissatisfied with the new policy frequently violated the new policy, Chu Yuezhi ordered Fu Xingyun to preside over the rectification of the station, and re-screened the officials who managed the station with extremely strict standards, and strictly controlled the official way. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the decrees issued by the imperial court.

In February of the second year of the Yanqing Dynasty, after half a month of court disputes after the opening of the dynasty, Chu Yuezhi formally issued an order to amend the laws of the Daheng Kingdom. In thirteen provinces and beyond, the prevalence of the evil of drowning female infants will be included in homicide. crime, the family will sit together and be sentenced severely.

The new policy has been implemented for more than a year, and the political situation has opened up a new situation.

In December, a report was sent back from the frontier. Huangfu Liangyu, the deputy guard of the pass, detected the change in advance, and led 3000 soldiers to repel the sneak attack of the alien tribe's army, making military achievements.After Chu Yuezhi received the report, he decreed to reward Huangfu's family with a thousand taels of silver and a hundred bolts of fine silk.

In May of the third year of the Yanqing Dynasty, Chu Yuezhi made another decree to revise the scientific examination system again. Previously, people from humble backgrounds were not allowed to take the imperial examination if they had no place to recommend them. Now this rule will be abolished. No matter what your background, as long as you are not a criminal, you can take the imperial examination.

In October of the same year, after more than five months of tug-of-war, Chu Yuezhi established the taxation and corvee system with the support of the cabinet headed by Si Yuanting and other ministers.Consolidate tax and service, collect land tax and corvee of various names together, and at the same time share part of the burden of small labor into the field; except for the government's need to collect rice and wheat, all tax and service burdens will be deducted from two silver; farmers and various burden-bearing households can Money is paid on behalf of the labor, and the government hires people to undertake the forced labor; the collection of taxes and duties will no longer be handled by the village chiefs and grain chiefs, but will be directly collected by local officials and released into the treasury.

The reform of taxation and corvee system reduced the cost of taxation to the greatest extent and increased the tax revenue of the court. Second, it avoided the disadvantage of eroding the distribution of funds and made the collection method more perfect.However, because it touched the fundamental interests of the big landlord class and the clan relatives, it encountered great resistance at the beginning of its implementation.

This year Si Yuanting was 39 years old and Chu Yuezhi was 35 years old.

The taxation reform mentioned in the article is the "one whip method" of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty.

Because I really don't know much about taxation, in order to avoid misleading readers, I directly used Zhang Juzheng's reform law.
