imprinted you in my heart

The sun is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle. The seedlings planted in Huangtian are full of vitality, and the few paddy fields on both sides of Duming River are also planting seedlings, reflecting the verdant green of the opposite hill and the prosperity of Duhe City.

The weather is fine, it is very suitable for going out for a spring outing, but unfortunately the person Shi Min wants to accompany on the outing is not around, and there are a lot of secret letters and memorials waiting for her to review in the document hall, and she has to summon the minister in the afternoon.The laziness that has been stolen always has to be paid back, just think about spring outings and so on.

I was a bit depressed at first, but it got worse after reading the letters Guo Fanqiu submitted. There were seven letters in total, three of which were written about Wen Zhiyuan's "good deeds", and also received comments from the common people, colleagues, and superiors. It is not incomplete to analyze it from different angles.

What Qiu Xie said was nothing compared to what he had found out. Collusion between government and businessmen, power and sex transactions, corruption and bribery, the entire Taiju county was acting like a bully, and the political environment was smoggy. Only she could not think of it, and there was nothing Wen Zhiyuan could not do. .

The county government officials and subordinates who disagreed with him were either dismissed or dismissed. Even the provincial capital and officials of Xiagu province flattered him without any trace. Open one eye and close one eye.

Shi Min really couldn't match the person in the letter with the Wen Zhiyuan in his impression. Although Wen Zhiyuan had a bad temper when he was a child, he had a good heart. After the baptism, the person has matured a lot, if not for this, she would not have sent him to a local county magistrate.

Out of the six attendants, only Xing Boen and Wen Zhiyuan were appointed by her as county magistrates, which shows that she has a high opinion of them, but Wen Zhiyuan did not expect Wen Zhiyuan to report her in this way, very good, very good!

In just over three years, Wen Zhiyuan became like this, and Shi Min had to feel the power of sugar-coated shells. Even after the baptism of war, he couldn't stand it, so what about the others?

What Shi Min didn't expect was that there was more than one person like Wen Zhiyuan. Chengman, who has always been a vegetarian, was still a vegetarian when he went to other places. The soup made with good meat, as a county lieutenant, has greater "rights" than the county magistrate.

Fortunately, Zhao Huanying, Yang Minghui, and Ma Guojin performed well. As soon as Zhao Huanying was in good health, he set off to take up the post at the border.

Although Yang Minghui was only a county magistrate, he knew nothing from the beginning of his three years in office, and now he understands everything.

Ma Guojin is also Ren's county lieutenant, but he is completely different from Chengman. He never slackens in training the city guards every day, and never interferes in the affairs of the county. He only keeps his duty and does his job well.

Xing Boen is the one who reassures her the most among the six people, and is also the one she likes the most. Whether he is a county magistrate or a general in the governor's mansion, he has performed very well and is very hardworking. The latest news is that Xing Boen submitted a letter a month ago. Unfortunately, the letter submitted by Guo Fanqiu this time did not involve Xing Boen.

Lu Guanchu, who was standing five steps away, saw His Majesty's complexion changing from good to bad, and she became nervous. She had never seen His Majesty change his face so frequently. If it wasn't for the seriousness of the letter, the people involved were unusual. , it's not a good thing anyway.

"Let Chengting come to see me immediately" secretly said that it cannot be revealed, even if the facts are found, Shi Min will not be convicted based on this, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate has to investigate the evidence to be convincing.

"Yes" Lu Guanchu took the order to leave, and knew that the direction she guessed was right, but she would not tell anyone.

Shi Min immediately wrote another secret letter to Yan Yinuo who was still investigating the case in Jiuyuan Province, asking her to take a detour to investigate Chengman's matter when she came back. Return the people, but the people must be brought back.

After Chengting came, Shi Min appointed her as the imperial envoy, entrusted her with the matter of going to Taiju County, Xiagu Province, to inspect Wen Zhiyuan, and emphasized that everything should be done according to the law, and the same people would be brought back.If it weren't for Chengting and Chengman's mother-daughter relationship, she wouldn't have asked Yan Yinuo to detour to check Chengman, because it was much closer to Taiju County from Jiuyuan Province.

No matter whether they are bullying others with their own power or not, Shi Min will not let them go, even if it is her servant, deep in her heart, she feels that the more her confidants are, the more they should abide by the law and plead for the people. Share worries for the country and be loyal to her!

She is not a monarch who does not know rewards and punishments. As long as the other party does a good job and does a good job, she will reward high-ranking officials, money, and even titles. She is not stingy.

According to military merit, closeness, and status, she should have given Xing Boen and others higher official positions, but she didn't, not because she was stingy, but because Xing Boen and others were too young, and young people needed experience, so I gave them a little setback. By the way, let them start from the grassroots level and accumulate administrative experience.

Looking at it now, it is fortunate that they did not give it at the beginning, otherwise the bad influence Wen Zhiyuan and the two caused would be greater, and she would feel more guilty, because she was the one who used the wrong person. The emperor's face and royal dignity should be taken care of by an unclean minister to preserve the royal dignity.

Just like the emperors from ancient times to the present, the ministers will be responsible for all reforms. If it succeeds, the country will prosper and the emperor will take credit for it, but the officials in charge of the reform will end up in one word-miserably, if they fail, the country will continue to decline. It's all because the reform ministers are tossing around, and the end is still one word-miserable.

So she took this burden on her shoulders. If she succeeded, she would have completed the task of saving the Sunset West Mountain Empire. If she failed, she would have finished playing with this country, which is great!

For the future of her and Bu Qianxue, she cannot fail, and she is not allowed to fail herself!What she wants is not just a change in the atmosphere, but to cut off unnecessary branches from the big tree to ensure that the big tree will live longer, so it is imperative to crack down on corrupt officials, and it will become the norm, as long as she is in power One day, the pace of cracking down on corrupt officials will not stop.

After being lazy for two days, it took Shi Min four days to pay back the backlog, and finally approved the secret letters and memorials that were backlogged and reported every day. None of the ministers who should be seen were left behind, and he also met the latest batch. The talents who come to seek a meeting in response to the recruitment order, those who have real skills stay, and the ones who make up the numbers come back and forth.

It is rare to have a good seedling in this group, with a superb memory, especially good at counting. After taking over the family of poor peasants for generations, he became a middle peasant with small income and low income. Unfortunately, his temper was too arrogant, and Shi Min didn't want it.

On the other side, Fandu.Three days later, Bu Mansion began to accept condolences from relatives and friends, but apart from relatives and friends, there were very few other noble families who came. Compared with Bu Qianxue's bustling crowd after being elected queen candidate, it was nothing like mud.

The Bu family, who has long been used to the warmth and coldness of people, is very calm. If someone comes to express their condolences, they will receive them well. Dispel the pain in her heart.

Bu Wuchen may not be a good official, but he is a good mother and a good family. Before Bu's family was confiscated, Jiang Li spent a lot of money, but there was never a shortage. The two elders expected her to be an official in high school, and she did it. Qianxue's earnest teachings are strict love and high hopes.

Her mother's mistakes have been punished as she deserved, and Bu Qianxue didn't complain, but her mother's death was still a blow to her, because the mother who loved her and was strict with her would never be strict with her again. She no longer has a mother, and every time she thinks about it, she suffers.

Because of Bu Wuchen's special situation, the Taoist who practiced the practice chose an auspicious time for the funeral on the fifth day based on the actual situation. For Bu Qianxue, it was another busy and sad day, and she didn't rest until midnight.

The next day, Bu Qianxue wrote a secret letter and sent it to Fandu, and found time to have a good talk with Jiang Li in the West Wing. She said everything she should and could say, and Jiang Li knew her daughter In order to maintain the family's expenses, he borrowed usurious loans from the bank. It was not the young man named Wen Xin who asked Bu Qianxue to go out that night, but Bu Qianxue did not want the other party to pay back the money for him and chased him out.

In the end, Wen Xin paid back the money for their family, and only then did they bump into Bu Qianxue when she came back in person. It had nothing to do with private trysts!

After Jiang Li knew the cause and effect, she was very sad. It was not easy for her daughter to support the family, and she had to be angry with her for nothing. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. After her daughter left, she secretly cried.

After her lover left, Jiang Li didn't dare to cry in the mourning hall, for fear of causing her daughter to cry together. Sadness added to grief. She would secretly wipe her tears when she was alone in the room, and from time to time she would complain in her heart that Bu Wuchen left her behind. She left so early alone.

There is no need for Bu Qianxue to explain the usury matter, and Jiang Li dare not tell the two elders in the family that Bu Wuchen's death has already made the two elders heartbroken, as if they have aged a lot in a few days, how dare she let them be a family member again? Trivia worries.

From then on, she no longer intentionally made things difficult for the grandparents and grandchildren of the Zhang family. Instead, she took care of one or two as long as she could. The old one worked as a helper in the kitchen, and the young one served in the main room, so as to relieve the boredom of the two elders in the family.

Bu Qianxue was delighted to hear this, and although Jiang Li had a lot of embarrassments for Zhang's grandfather and grandson, it was not too much, so she just turned a blind eye.

After thinking for a long time, Bu Qianxue finally didn't tell Jiang Li about Shi Min's identity, not because she didn't trust her mother, but because she didn't want her mother to be burdened by this, and she was afraid that if her mother accidentally said it out, it would hurt Shi Min. Bad influence.

Shi Min was in a good mood when he received Bu Qianxue's secret letter, but after reading the contents of the letter, he was in a bad mood. Bu Qianxue would not come to cross the river because he was going to observe mourning at home for three months, and the formal request for instructions would arrive a day later.

According to the customs here, from the emperor down to the common people, the death of a close relative has to observe filial piety for three years. Naturally, it also includes nobles and nobles, but it is not absolute. For example, it can be reduced as appropriate in case of war or other special circumstances, but the shortest cannot be shorter three months.

It is not allowed here to live in a hut next to the tomb and observe filial piety. They are all filial piety at home. The first three months are the most important. You are not allowed to be an official, you are not allowed to eat meat, you are not allowed to hold banquets, you are not allowed to visit relatives and friends, and you are not allowed to go out for banquets. You must clean yourself, three times in the morning and evening. Burning incense and saluting, you can eat less meat after three months, and you are not allowed to have big banquets and get married.

The rule of not going out to dinner is mainly aimed at nobles and nobles, because they have salaries, and as long as His Majesty approves, they can't go hungry without doing anything for three months, but ordinary people can't do it. Go out to support your family.

The emperor is similar, because a country cannot be without a king, and all major affairs in the court need to be decided by the emperor, so how can she have three months' leave?Impossible, generally it only lasts five to seven days, and it will be even shorter for those who passed away like Mu Zong to welcome back.

It is written in Bu Qianxue’s secret letter that at least three months of filial piety should be observed at home, but memorials will be written for three years. It's all up to the emperor.

The previous dynasty stipulated in the form of law that ministers and family members must observe filial piety for three years. Regardless of the size of the official position, as long as they do not fight wars, they must observe three years. Although there is no legal regulation in this dynasty, it has become a custom. It also takes three months to approve.

After the three months approved by the emperor, you can come out to become an official, but you still have to wait for the three-year filial piety period to get married. Further impeachment, that official career will come to an end.

Since Shi Min's ascension to the throne, the longest time to approve the filial piety memorial is only one year. It is specially for ministers who are about to retire and return to their hometowns. Most of them are approved for three months, and the ministers know it well. But the cutscene still has to go.

Sure enough, as Bu Qianxue said, the memorial was only one day later than the secret letter, and the note drawn up by the cabinet suggested that it be approved in March, which was exactly what Shi Min wanted, and it was approved for three months.

The memorials are all secret letters first and then go through the motions or follow the procedures. It is on the surface. After the cabinet and the military secret office are established, the memorials related to administration, justice and finance will be sent to the cabinet first, and the cabinet ministers will write notes and submit them. Classify and classify according to priority and present to the emperor.

The memorials related to the military will be sent to the military secret office. Like the cabinet, the military secret minister will personally draw up notes and classify them according to priority and submit them to the emperor.The decision-making power for wearing red is in the hands of the emperor. The six ministries and government offices in Fandu are responsible for the specific implementation of the emperor's red wearing. The cabinet and the military secret office are only auxiliary institutions of the emperor's think tank and have no right to mobilize the six ministries and government offices.

The essence of Shi Min's establishment of these two institutions is to separate the military from the government, and also to reduce the burden on herself, and by the way, to promote the status of military attache.

The Hua Dynasty founded the country with force, unlike the previous dynasty, which focused on culture over military affairs. In the early days of the Hua Dynasty, martial arts were valued over culture, and military commanders had a high status. Whenever there is a war, there must be death, so there are more victories and fewer defeats. In the mid-term, they followed the old path of the previous dynasty without a war, and became more civilized than military, and the status of civil servants rose.

It was not until Wuzong's period that the Eight Kings' Rebellion broke out, and it took a year of twists and turns to calm down. After Wuzong realized the importance of generals, he began to slowly improve the status of generals, and vigorously rectified the forbidden army and frontier army.

Mu Zong's reign was short, and he had neither great achievements nor inherited Wu Zong's strategy of governing the country. He had no military talent, and he wanted to reproduce the glory of Gaozu. victim.

It also taught Shi Min a vivid lesson. If it weren't for the foundation left by Wu Zong, it would be hard to say whether the war would be quelled in the end. So since then, she has focused on improving the country's military strength, establishing the Nine District Governor's Mansion, establishing The city guards, the implementation of the "Recruitment System", the establishment of the military secret department, and even this year's Halloween competition are all for this purpose.

She is not good at history, and she also knows the tragic history of the late Qing Dynasty. The military power is not strong, so she can only be suppressed by the invading external forces. If she wants to win, she has to pay twice or even several times the price. Therefore, the promotion of the status and quality of generals must continue until they can form a good balance with civil servants.

If it weren't for the improvement of military strength, she wouldn't have to be so poor. In the past two years, military expenditures have ranked first in all categories of treasury expenditures, completing the counterattack from the middle reaches to the first.

Every time he thinks that he will not see Bu Qianxue for three months, Shi Min is not happy, especially when he is accompanied by other queen candidates. Try to stay as far away from her as possible, only Ding Shou rushed to find the abuser, and was banned for three days if he was accidentally caught, Feng Shui often visited her.

Seven or eight days have passed, and the clan mansion has not made much progress. Shi Min was considering whether to fine Shi Sihe's salary, so Shi Sihe brought the officials below to beg for an audience outside the Gate of Guide. ?
