After rebirth, I made the princes cry

In fact, Yingshu did not really want to study hard to improve farm equipment at this time. She did not think that farming was unimportant. On the contrary, she knew that only by encouraging farming and ensuring an abundance of food could the people's food and clothing be solved. This is the basis. People's livelihood is the top priority.

However, the problem facing Dongyu now is that the wealthy families occupy a wide area of ​​land, and the common people simply do not have enough acres to cultivate. They either become tenants of the wealthy families, or they have to find another way out. The improvement of agricultural equipment cannot directly benefit the people at present, and Yingshu knew that besides herself, there were actually many skilled craftsmen in the world. The experience she had accumulated in her previous life and the knowledge about farming were enough for her to choose officials who were good at agricultural administration. What she lacked was the most important thing for her. What is fatal is military politics and military strategy.

To return the land to the people, we must suppress the powerful people. To suppress the powerful people cannot avoid using an iron fist, and the military is the basis for implementing the iron fist.

Just like Yu Gaozu, if he had not won the power with an iron fist, let alone respecting the descendants of the Xuan family, even if he was a descendant of the Xuan family, he would never be able to make the powerful family surrender.

But since military politics and military strategy are her fatal flaws, they cannot be improved immediately just because her life is restarted. If she can't rush it, she can only accumulate it slowly.

On this day, it was time for His Majesty the Emperor to test the "homework" of several princes. But now, except for the sixth and seventh princes who are still in the academy, from the crown prince to Nanji, they have actually been awarded actual titles, so the test The difference in key points is very big. Generally speaking, the sixth prince is the one at the bottom. He is a typical example of retreating if he does not advance. The main subject of Confucian classics is almost overtaken by the seventh prince. Sikong Tong has no doubts about this son’s academic performance. I don't pay much attention to it, but the recent "comparisons" have mostly focused on criticizing the sixth prince. However, in the previous two times, the princes didn't pay much attention, and they even secretly rejoiced that Sikong Yueyan was a "strong giant". " is a stepping stone. Even Sikong Beichen really doesn't care whether his "party member" is embarrassed or not.

The emperor's examination of the princes is really a family matter. Since it is a family matter, the examination generally does not require the records of the living order and history. Unless the emperor specifically wants to commend a certain prince, he will specifically ask the officials to enter the examination into the "Daily Notes", like today Most of the examinations and comparisons were made by Yingshu, a middle-aged female historian, who watched from the sidelines and entered the "Supplementary Notes" afterwards. However, the "Supplementary Notes" were not handed over to foreign courts for archiving. This was an internal record of the royal family and was only archived in the Qianyang Hall.

But today, perhaps the emperor's tone was unusually harsh, and he directly compared the youngest seventh prince with the sixth prince. There was more than five years age difference between the two brothers. The sixth prince also felt that it was embarrassing, so he actually argued, His recent neglect of the main course is because his mind is elsewhere - the old history of the code recited by Lord Qianyuan has been almost recorded, and the Sixth Prince said that he is diligently reading the history of the code that has been forgotten.

By chance, the emperor knew that Ying Shu had been studying recently.

So he casually studied a few codes, including the civil tax and commercial tax regulations on economic laws. Sikong Yueyan couldn't even recite the original text, let alone understand it. Sikong Tong directly asked Ying Shu to recite the explanation. Under the huge contrast, even The "examiner"'s face turned red.

"Just like this, just like this, you still dare to argue that you have neglected your study of the classics because of reading old classics? What kind of tricks have you studied? You are a pampered prince. In addition to your studies, you have food to open your mouth and clothes to stretch out your hands. You You don’t need to be on duty. You don’t even need to participate in court meetings. If you were a woman, you would be getting haircut now. But if you check your six skills, etiquette, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics, you might as well be a Boudoir girl!”

Yingshu:......

How should she modify His Majesty's uncle's words and put them into the "Supplementary Notes" euphemistically? Should we write down: On a certain day of a certain year and a certain month, His Majesty scolded Mr. Wei Su for being a son-in-law but not as good as his husband?

Sikong Yueyan, for his part, didn’t think that being inferior to Ying Shu was a big deal, but the emperor didn’t say that he couldn’t compare to Zhongnvshi, but directly used the group of “boudoir women” to “humiliate” him. His face finally looked like he had been She put on a layer of shy rouge and murmured in a low voice: "The Queen's Empress is not an ordinary woman. If my son can often consult the Lord of the Palace like her, why would he do this?"

"What did you say?!" Sikong Tong felt that the paperweight on the case was "calling" to him - don't forget that it has another wonderful use.

Sikong Beichen came back to his senses and felt that if he didn't help the Sixth Emperor's brothers, his father would be unable to help but resort to family methods. Sikong Yueyan was no longer a coward, but he was still the party leader of the East Palace, and as the eldest brother, he , at this time, it was time to show filial piety, and then reminded: "Sixth brother can no longer shirk his own faults, and should bear in mind the father's teachings. The son also prays to the father to calm down. It is the son's fault. He has lost control of his sixth brother recently. , my son is willing to be punished together with his sixth brother."

Sikong Tongcai finally stopped reaching for the paperweight.

However, the second prince and the third prince were unwilling to remain silent. Ever since the third prince was reprimanded for dealing with Yu Luan, he had been holding back a resentment in his heart. It was not directed at the prince, but only at Ying Shu. Especially now, seeing what he had just seen The woman who showed off her "talent" again looked at her with an even more "docile and well-behaved" attitude than last time. He was really angry.

"Sixth brother just said that the Queen's Empress is not an ordinary woman, and that's true. After all, even the Crown Prince's experience is not as good as that of the Queen's Empress."

Sikong Tong's calmed anger was inflamed again by this weird argument.

"Dixiu is not an ordinary woman. Does she have three heads and six arms? Or do you think that anyone who is more talented and knowledgeable than you cannot be considered 'ordinary'? Is it because you are too lazy or because others are more talented? Saburo, You have been practicing military affairs in Camp Shenlie for some time. I ask you, do you know the military regulations promulgated by Bingcao? Have you ever thought about how to correct the mistakes of the past according to the new regulations? "

"Father, the Shenlie Camp has always been under the command of Changping Zheng..."

"What? In your opinion, the Shenlie Camp has always been under the command of Changping Zheng, so it is not part of the Chinese Army?!" Sikong Tong sneered: "Di Xiu, tell me whether the Shenlie Camp belongs to the Chinese Army or the foreign army. Shouldn’t we implement the military laws promulgated by Bing Cao?!”

Yingshu was called upon to answer, and she was secretly glad that even though she couldn't understand the military books, she still knew something about military affairs. She was the history of middle-aged and middle-aged women who had to accompany and record all the court meetings. If she didn't understand many military and political affairs, , will inevitably affect the preparation of records and fail to fill in omissions and omissions - this is not a conventional requirement for Chinese women's history, it is a requirement she places on herself.

"Although the Shenlie Camp was originally recruited from the Changping Zheng family's soldiers, it was precisely because they were incorporated into the Chinese Army that they were able to station in Beishan and expand their establishment. It was not based on the military merits of the Changping Zheng family. It has always been a reference. In accordance with the principles of the Chinese Army, Your Majesty now orders General Zheng to control the Shenlie Camp because of his trust in the Zheng family in Changping, and not because the Shenlie Camp belongs to a foreign army and is privately owned by a clan."

"If we go by what the queen said, is the Guangming Guard commanded by my great-uncle not the private military department of King Langyi's family?" The second prince sneered.

"The Guangming Guards have always been part of the Chinese army. When did they become the personal vassals of the Langyi Wang family?"

"You mean, even my subordinates, Jiang Donghe, have to obey the orders of Xinyue Fox?!" The second prince sneered instead and became furious.

"Your Highness, please be careful." Ying Shu lowered her eyes and said, "First of all, Your Highness is not named He. Secondly, the private soldiers of the He family cannot be compared with the Shenlie Camp and the Guangming Guard."

Sikong Tong's beard almost smelled of burning. He had reached the paperweight with his hand. He saw that it was made of jade, which was a bit precious, so he didn't smash it out directly. He raised it high and put it down gently, but his eyes fell on it. On the five-clawed carved dragon, he smiled, matching the "last rhyme" left by the paperweight, and his laughter was like gold and stone: "The son of the Sikong family actually called himself Jiang Donghe, Jiankang Order, when did He Ao make the decision to let him go?" Have you taken over the guard he supported?"

"Father, please forgive me. It was my son's... slip of the tongue."

"Slip of the tongue." Sikong Tong nodded: "I occasionally make slips of the tongue. Even if the king of a country does this, I can't punish you just because of Jiankang's slip of the tongue. That's all. I have a few questions. Don't be impatient and take your time. Answer, but you must be careful not to make a slip of the tongue. I ask you, as the Jiankang Order, do you know how many households there are in Jiankang City, how many aristocratic families, how many farmers, how many craftsmen, how many merchants, and how many aristocratic families there are in Jiankang City? How many tenants and tribes do each have? How many cases has your Jiankang government office tried and decided this year? How many people were sentenced to death for their crimes, and how many people were sentenced to life imprisonment for their crimes?!"

"This... this... my son needs to ask his subordinate officials and inquire about the records..."

"Dixiu, tell Jiankang Order."

Yingshu:......

She wanted to sigh, but she had to hold it back, so she had no choice but to answer: "Your Highness, Jiankang Cheng submitted the memorial three days ago. Your Majesty inquired about the matters listed in the memorial in detail, and... the memorial has the official seal of Jiankang Mansion. ."

The public seal is held by the second prince, Jiankang Ling.

"You put your seal on the memorial, but you know nothing about the memorial. You still need to ask the subordinate officials and the files. Do you think that as the chief of the capital, all affairs can be taken care of by your subordinates? ? I didn’t know that my Jiankang order from Dayu could be so easy."

The second prince has been a Jiankang order for so long, and he really doesn't understand. Isn't it enough for the subordinates to understand these things?

"Jiankang Ling, I will give you ten days. During these ten days, you only need to familiarize yourself with the supervision of your Jiankang Yamen. If you are still like this after ten days, I think the title of Jiankang Ling may not be necessary."

This time the exam is over, Sikong Beichen is very proud - because only one of his faction, Sikong Yueyan, has been regularly criticized, but he "single-handedly" defeated Sikong Yuewu and Sikong Mujiao. Everyone was reprimanded, especially Sikong Yuewu!

"My second brother was scolded before the rebellion in Shuzhou was over. His Jiankang Order...he had to work hard to keep it."

Even in front of Nanci, Sikong Beichen couldn't hide his joy, but Sikong Yuehu was silent. He didn't have the habit of adding insult to injury, but his expression was extremely serious that day, which attracted Sikong Beichen's attention. Yuehu He didn't care about him.

"Second brother, this Jiankang order is just like a decoration. It didn't happen in a day or two. My father is so concerned about it this time. In order to keep his title, second brother should change his face."

Except for the Sixth Prince, the Crown Prince and Nanci all understood this.

However, Sikong Beichen still didn't take it seriously: "If the third brother is the Jiankang Order, it is indeed possible to work hard to govern. As for the second brother..." The prince laughed and left.

A gust of west wind blows, and there are colorful fallen leaves in Qianyang Hall.

"Fourth brother, why do you need to remind the prince?" Nanci said softly.

Yuehu glanced at Nanci: "I thought that fifth brother and I were on the same page."

"My fourth brother and I have different ideas."

"Oh?"

"I don't pay attention to political affairs. I am not the arm of the prince brother. What I fight for is my own happiness."

Yuehu looked away and said nothing.

"Did I think wrong about the fourth brother?" Nanci asked.

Yuehu smiled softly: "If the fifth brother is competing for the love of his children, there is no need to antagonize the prince brother, because in my opinion, the prince brother has no room to compete with the fifth brother."

He walked forward, but his arm was grabbed. Yuehu didn't break free. He turned around and looked at Nanci's palm.

In the distance, Attendant Zhongchang was walking quickly with a serious look on his face.
