Misty rain and heavy flowers accompany the king's return

After the new year, the imperial court was very busy, and the unfavorable rumors about Huandong from Linhai County became more and more urgent. Guowei left Shen Luo to communicate about this matter after the class started.

"What do you think of Huan Donglai's merits and demerits?" Guowei asked.

"He is a bit eager for quick success, but he is a practical man who knows how to face difficulties, but he is impatient in dealing with them and does not follow the steps." Shen Luo said.

"Haven't you thought about the impact on you after this contest?" Guowei said.

Shen Luo looked at him: "What do you mean, sir?"

"Huan Donglai is from King Yue." Guowei looked at him, "How do you feel?"

Shen Luo smiled: "I have a hunch that he has someone to take refuge in."

"Why?" A voice came, and Shen Luo looked over. It was Yin Zihao, Emperor Qianyuan who came out from behind the screen, and looked at Shen Luo with crossed hands.

"See the emperor!" Shen Luo and Guowei stood up and saluted together.

"There's no need to be too polite." Emperor Qianyuan waved his hand with a dignified look.

Shen Luo nodded: "Because he got too much information, and he didn't even think carefully about it, which shows that he has received very clear instructions."

"Who did you think gave the instructions?" Emperor Qianyuan sat on the long bench beside him and looked at him.

Shen Luo looked at him: "Please forgive my innocence, Your Majesty."

"You doubt me?" Emperor Qianyuan couldn't help laughing.

"This possibility is very high. It's normal for the emperor to throw bricks to attract jade." Shen Luo said.

"When did you feel that he was inappropriate?" Guowei asked.

"When Xiaoshitou said that my strategy and theory were not enough, I found that I still looked at these issues from the perspective of the theory school. Compared with some nobles in the imperial capital, I have more atmosphere of living in the folk. Huandong came to compare with the minister , but has an extra experience in local administration. It should be within his expectation to be counterattacked like this, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be beaten passively like a minister." Shen Luo's above words are completely imitating "that self", just now In fact, he didn't think deeply about what he said, and he didn't even guess it. It was the result of adapting to the situation at this moment.

After saying these words, Shen Luo was laughing in his heart, laughing at those "magical calculations" people in history, how many of them were anticipating the enemy beforehand, and how many were "magical calculations after the fact"?

If Xi Hantang is here, I can't help but praise my "apprentice" who has won the essence of Zeng Zhiwei's Zhuge Liang, "Slightly understands, half understands!" '

Emperor Qianyuan and Guowei had serious expressions on their faces. After thinking for a while, Emperor Qianyuan's face changed from cloudy to sunny.

"You said that some people don't want to reform, why?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Interested interests, not to mention the payment of food, how much do the taxes on salt, iron, tea and silk account for the national tax?" Shen Luo asked.

"Over seventy." Guowei said on his behalf.

Shen Luo nodded: "The enemies of the Dafeng Dynasty are inside, not outside. I have something to ask the emperor, and the emperor will forgive me for not guilty."

"Say!" Emperor Qianyuan said bluntly.

"Has your majesty read "Journey to the Past"?" Shen Luo asked.

"Hmph, hum!" Emperor Qianyuan didn't answer, but smiled lightly: "I intend to nominate you as the number one scholar, what do you think?"

Shen Luo shook his head: "I will only be No.4."

"Why?" Emperor Qianyuan asked again. It was really amazing for the emperor to ask him a tribute student like this.

"Because of the compromise, the emperor wants to balance. The minister's "Heaven, Earth, and Man" is just to preach for the emperor. The emperor's goal has been achieved, and it has been copied more than a hundred times." Shen Luo said.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at the young man in front of him, nodded, and left with his hands behind his back.

Guowei looked at Shen Luo: "You won't come to Gongyuan from tomorrow on." After speaking, he took out a sign, which was made of gold and had a pattern of a phoenix on it: "Go directly to the palace, Yushufang Wutong Hall, any The imperial companion."

Shen Luo took the gold medal: "Where is Prince Qi?"

"I don't care, and the emperor doesn't care, you can say it yourself." Guowei said.

Shen Luo nodded: "Does the student have no chance to become an official?"

Guowei turned his head to look at him, his eyes were cold but full of admiration: "Yes, you will not have a job."

Shen Luo nodded.

"Disappointed?" Guowei asked.

"No." Shen Luo raised his head: "I'm very satisfied, at least I don't have to be blackmailed by the future Yue family, and let me become a tool for him to achieve his personal interests."

When Guowei heard this, he showed a look of surprise.

"He really said that?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"Yes!" Guowei replied.

"Hmph!" Emperor Qianyuan put down the memorial in his hand: "How is he compared to you back then?"

"It's even colder." Guowei said.

Emperor Qianyuan shook his head: "No, he is more affectionate than you."

"The imperial companion?" Prince Qi and Tong Ge looked at Shen Luo: "What kind of job is this?"

Tong Ge kept stroking his beard, but didn't speak.

"What do you think, my lord?" Shen Luo asked back.

"The emperor has already said that this king has no opinion. The emperor looks at things with a long-term perspective. I take my own opinion, so I am a little overconfident." Prince Qi said.

"I'm afraid you will be responsible for reviewing the memorial and the imperial decree in the future." Old Tong Ge interjected.

Prince Qi showed a surprised expression.

"A Luo, go back and prepare!" Tong Ge said.

Shen Luo nodded: "This junior will leave."

After Shen Luo left, Prince Qi looked at Elder Tong Ge: "What did Elder Ge mean just now?"

Tong Ge kept looking at him: "What did Guowei do at the late emperor's place before?" After speaking, he got up: "Your Majesty, measure yourself?"

Tongge left leisurely.

"Congratulations, my lord." A young voice came from behind.

Xing Nuo, the counselor of the palace, came out, his light blue eyes were full of brilliance.

"How to say?" Prince Qi asked.

"Elder Ge's meaning is very clear. Mr. Guowei wrote a memorial to the late emperor for ten years before." Xing Nuo said: "The late emperor is very cautious. It seems that the imperial decree came from the Hanlin Academy. The prince found you The canonized memorial, as well as the imperial edicts later canonized by the king and the eldest son, are all from Guowei's hand."

Citing Wenhao looked up at him: "Brother Huang?"

"Is there still a prince?" Xing Nuo asked, but Wen Haowen was at a loss for words.

"It seems that this king has to go to Shenluo alone." Ci Wenhao said.

Xing Nuo looked at him: "My lord, don't tell him anything, just ask him one thing."

"whats the matter?"

"What topic did he talk to the emperor today?" Xing Nuo asked.

Ci Wenhao looked up at him, and nodded with a clear expression.

"Go to the palace?" Nie Xingfeng couldn't make up his mind.

"Are you worried that I will accompany you like a tiger?" Shen Luo said.

Nie Xingfeng looked at him: "It's a pity that my bastard master is missing, otherwise I will definitely ask you some questions."

"It means that you know a little bit about the answer, but you're just not sure." Shen Luo asked back.

Nie Xingfeng nodded: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I won't say anything I'm not sure about, so as not to mislead your judgment."

Shen Luo nodded: "I'm already grateful for you being outspoken."

Xiao Shitou looked at them: "Senior brother, sir, don't make it look like you are parting from life and death, don't you just go to the palace, there are a few great ones, I think the emperor is not bad."

"You'll be bribed with just a jade token, you're worthless!" Nie Xingfeng scolded.

"That's not it." Little Shitou stuck out his tongue.

When resting at night, when Shen Luo said that going to the palace could prevent Long Tu from threatening him, Qing Chen immediately sat up happily.

"Your father knows, he's going to be so mad at you!" Shen Luo teased.

"That's better than killing him!" Qingchen said.

The news of Shen Luo's going to the palace spread in the Gongyuan the next day, and it immediately exploded like boiling oil.

At the moment, he is handing over the token of his colleagues at the gate of the palace. The token is of a very high grade. The deputy general of the Imperial Forest Army, Guo Tai, came to take him into the palace in person: "Master Guowei is my uncle. He told me that from now on, Master Shen will be in the palace. It's up to me."

Shen Luo nodded his thanks.

"The palace is not complicated. There are no masters or princes in each courtyard. Your gold medal is the highest level and is not restricted by anyone." Cathay explained.

Shen Luo then walked into the Indus Hall in the harem, where the Imperial Study Room was located.

Cathay Pacific sent it here and withdrew.

Guowei sat at a small table inside and waited for him.

"My lord!" Shen Luo saluted.

"The emperor is in the previous court, come sit down and help me sort out the copy!" Guowei said.

"Why are you here?" Shen Luo looked at the rather small study and asked.

"The door at the back, after passing through, is the Imperial Study Room at a corner." Guowei pointed to the corner: "Those who know that I am sitting here, there are no more than ten people in the court. Now you are here to help."

"You have always been in charge of court affairs?" Shen Luo asked.

"It's not an assistant, it's the duty of being a good courtier, understand?" Guowei reminded.

Shen Luo nodded.

"Don't tell anyone that you are in this side hall, including Prince Qi and Elder Tongge. When they are there, you may go to the front Wutong Hall to be a director." Guowei got up and led him to the small door, and walked to the imperial study through the corridor The Indus Hall where it is located.

The tall bookshelves in the hall stand on both sides, and the golden phoenix chair and the dragon book table are the four treasures and memorials for the queen.

He returned to the small study with Guowei, someone had already sent a new desk to set up opposite to Guowei, the upper one was where the emperor sat, it seems that this side hall is still very effective, it is an important place for Emperor Qianyuan to handle affairs.

Shen Luo took a stack of local memorials, and Guowei's other folio folder contained written instructions, with the name of Emperor Qianyuan on the bottom.

"For the corresponding memorial, copy the instructions I wrote and write them with a cinnabar pen." Guowei said: "You have to learn to instruct these things in the future, and let the emperor read them before copying."

Shen Luo nodded, this is actually restricting the power of the cabinet.

He sank two inkstones on the table, one of which had a block of cinnabar on it. He fetched water and ground it finely, found a small wolf pen, and began to read and transcribe from the topmost memorial.

Guowei saw that he didn't write directly, but read the content first, and then read the comments. He was very satisfied with this approach.

Emperor Qianyuan came over almost at noon, saw Shen Luo and Guowei, and signaled them to keep busy and not to get up to salute: "There is no need to pay respects here."

Guowei looked at him: "The emperor just talked about Huan Donglai in Wutong Hall?"

"Yes, you guessed it?" Emperor Qianyuan asked back.

"Half of today's censor Gaoshen came from the east of Shenhuan, how could I not know?" Guowei said.

Emperor Qianyuan looked at them: "Tell me, can you guess what King Yue thinks?"

Shen Luo felt Emperor Qianyuan looking at him, raised his head and said: "If the emperor asks this question, then he has already abandoned Huan Donglai's move."

Emperor Qianyuan nodded: "Well, let's talk about it, what should we do with Huan Donglai?"

Shen Luo looked at Emperor Qianyuan: "I don't know the holy will. No one dares to make a decision. After all, he is one of the three princes?" What about reforms that clear roadblocks?

He was no better than Guowei. Since it was possible that Huan Donglai had followed his own strategy and theory, no matter what he did, he could not escape the fate of justifying his name.

But right now, as a tribute student, even if he is the so-called 'Imperial Companion Reader', it can be said that he is not qualified to participate in such a storm.

What is 'policy theory'.It is the discourse of policy, not its implementation. You can say everything without exception, and you have to add a sentence without guilt.

"What if I want to see the purpose of King Yue?" Emperor Qianyuan said.

Shen Luo put down his pen: "Then let Huan Donglai know everything that happened here, including King Yue's attitude towards him, and see how Huan Donglai responds to self-protection. He implements strategies on the front line, the more surrounding counties rebound It can only explain one problem."

"He has done a good job in reform!" Guowei said decisively.

Shen Luo nodded: "Sure!"

Emperor Qianyuan put one hand on the armrest of the chair slowly, tilted his head, his expression was unpredictable, his eyes looked up slightly, but they seemed to be closed.

Shen Luo saw it in his heart, and to be honest, it would not be an exaggeration to say that Emperor Qianyuan's imperial aura was as deep as the sea at this moment.

"If you want to disturb the tax system of four yuan for salt and iron wire tea, what good suggestions do you have? You have to make everyone think that I am preparing for the succession of the throne in the future. The benefits will come to future generations, and I will bear the name." Emperor Qianyuan said .

Shen Luo thought of something, but didn't say anything. He had already glimpsed this point from his dreams during this period, including the fact that 'himself' borrowed a Liaodong to leverage the political situation in Bianjing.

"Just say what you think of." Emperor Qianyuan said.

"Not mature enough." Shen Luo said.

"It's okay, let's talk about it carefully." Guowei also said.

"Is the four taxes important, or the fief of the three kings?" Shen Luo asked.

The three princes, except for the missing King Luo, each of the other three occupied a capital as a fief, which was an impact on the system.

In the name of training, Emperor Qianyuan kept the three of them in the imperial capital, which was just a stopgap measure.

"Do you know how difficult it is to do what you said?" Guowei asked: "In order to eliminate the enfeoffment system of the late emperor, I followed the example of the sages and used the reduction of feudal vassals to centralize the imperial capital. side' in the name of a treacherous minister, but I have not done it."

"My lord, you chose the wrong opponent. King Luo is not an ordinary person." Shen Luo said, "After ten years of absence, the internal affairs will not be chaotic. The student would like to ask, what kind of person is King Luo?"

Guowei looked up at him, but didn't answer.

"What do you think of the topic I just talked about?" Emperor Qianyuan asked.

"The three capitals are exchanged for the three taxes. If the iron is thrown out, I don't know what will happen?" Shen Luo said.

"No, do you know how much the salt tax is?" Guowei objected.

"I know!" Shen Luo nodded: "But what the Three Kings mean is not the money, but?" After speaking, he looked at the phoenix chair.

"Hmph!" Emperor Qianyuan smiled, with a strange smile in his smile: "Interesting!" In a simple sentence, there was no emotion.
