All the small countries in the surrounding area feel that the Song Dynasty has grown stronger and stronger in recent years, and they dare not take the lead in leisure time. They just look at the prosperity and prosperity of the Song Dynasty, but they don't know that this so-called prosperity is just an illusion.

However, under the bustling, what is there?

There are endless battles in the court, the corpses of officials eat vegetarian food, and the people who seem to live and work in peace and contentment are still oppressed by the bureaucracy, and it is difficult to have a chance to breathe.

These are seen by Ah Jiu's eyes. She is noble and can see these people who stand at the pinnacle of power.But she has been relentlessly investigating the case, and has seen the lowest level of filth and the darkness of people's hearts.

Ah Jiu arranged the stacked memorials on the emperor's desk case by category, and the colorful ones were only placed in the corners, no one would pay attention to them.And the rest are divided into important and unimportant trivial matters.

Although Ah Jiu didn't have a photographic memory, he had a pretty good memory. With a quick glance, he could tell what the main content of the memorial was.Therefore, it is not difficult for Ah Jiu to see these.

Although the emperor was resting on the side, his seemingly slightly closed eyes were actually looking at Ah Jiu all the time.

Ah Jiu's every move, whether he frowned or showed his face, the emperor noticed.The emperor had read those memorials, and he was very clear about what was written in them.Therefore, he could almost read Ah Jiu's inner thoughts through her expression.

After a long time, Ah Jiu finally put down the last memorial at hand.

"Ah Jiu, you have read all these memorials, but I have a few that have not been approved. Would you like to share your thoughts?"

These words were clearly giving Ah Jiu a chance to express herself, and she knew that she had prepared the opportunity to express herself.

One of these was the incident where the sons of these two officials fought each other in the street. Speaking of which, the official positions of these two officials were not too big or small, and as for the fight, it would not be on the line.It's just that there is another old incident of court battles involved.

Now the prime minister who is reused by the emperor, his surname is Cai, and he is called Prime Minister Cai.Cai Xiang is also a capable person. Under the banner of reform and innovation, he raised again the proposals for reform and reform put forward by King Wen during the former emperor's period.

During the period of the first emperor, the Great Song Dynasty was as prosperous as it is today, and there was a hidden crisis. King Wen was the prime minister at that time. of.

You know, the General Wang who regained the lost land was just a document written for others before King Wen was promoted.Who would dare to believe that a literati can do what no general can do.

From this incident, we can know King Wen's ability to know people.

King Wen is not a child of the royal family, but has made outstanding achievements. He was an official to the prime minister when he was in the world.After his death, the first emperor posthumously granted him the title of King Wen, worthy of enjoying the Taimiao, what a great honor it is!

The first emperor and King Wen got along well, and did a lot of things for the country and the people, but these reform measures damaged the temperament of those nobles and bureaucrats. Even the queen mother and empress at that time complained to King Wen every day in front of the first emperor. It's not.

The first emperor was getting old, and he was no longer able to bear the rumors of the world with his own strength. Therefore, King Wen was demoted and returned to his hometown.

The current emperor, who was the prince of the late emperor at that time, had also been taught by King Wen, and he also agreed with King Wen's actions in his heart.

However, King Wen has passed away for many years, Cai Xiang can speak well and has outstanding talents, and he intends to reform under the banner of King Wen.Even though the emperor knew that Cai Xiang was not as noble as Wen Wang, he had to promote Cai Xiang when he was employing people.

And the most important point is that the emperor believed that no one is perfect, and Cai Xiang's little thought would not be successful with him.

The emperor thought that he could suppress Cai Xiang, but he never thought that if one day he went, would his successor be able to suppress such a powerful minister who controlled the government?

The emperor never thought about it, but now he has to think about it.

In the court, the forces are divided into two groups, one group is headed by Cai Xiang, and the other group is headed by Zhuge Shenhou.It can be said that the two sides are evenly matched and compete with each other. This is also a situation where the emperor intends to check and balance.

However, Cai Xiang's character is worrying, and he even accepts bribes, etc., so he is despised by some upright courtiers.However, due to the fact that the emperor reused Cai Xiang, only Zhuge Shenhou dared to say something wrong with him.

The two officials mentioned in this memorial belonged to Cai Xiang's faction, and the one who dared to submit the memorial was probably either neutral or on the side of Zhuge Shenhou, otherwise, who would have the courage?

Therefore, how to deal with this matter, you can know Ah Jiu's way of life.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can the world be peaceful. You can't even manage the children in the family, and you can still appoint them as officials of the court. It's better to let them teach the children at home!"

Ah Jiu's words were a little bluntly annoyed, but she spoke with a bit of playfulness.

The emperor shook his head, "Ah Jiu, you should be more serious. One of the emperor's skills is checks and balances. Today, the forces of the court and China are evenly matched. However, your move is likely to break this balance .”

According to the emperor's thinking, the fight between the children of two officials was nothing more than a trivial matter, but it had to be dealt with.It's better to slap each other, even if it's a mess, to confuse this matter.

Although Ah Jiu's approach is feasible, it is too impatient.

"Father, some things should not be tolerated. And some problems should be solved as soon as possible. Just like this, sooner or later it will be no small matter. What they are ignoring is the law of the dynasty, isn't it?"

Ah Jiu has long seen her father's approach. The art of an emperor should not only check and balance power.

Some have rotted from the root, it is better to dig out the rotten piece, so that a new one can grow.

This is the difference in thinking between the father and daughter. Fortunately, the emperor is a person who can listen to the opinions of others. If he is arbitrarily arbitrary, Ah Jiu will not have the right to speak.

"Ah Jiu, it's a simple matter to remove their official positions, but after them, who is suitable for their position, and can do better than them?"

The selection of officials in the imperial court today is not in line with the emperor's wishes. There are too many officials in charge of the same thing, but the officials are not efficient in doing things. This situation is somewhat similar to the early emperor.

Combined with the situation in the court at this time, I am afraid that the official positions of these two people will be taken away, and the two forces will start to compete for their own people to take the position.As the emperor, he didn't want any party to be too powerful, because it would affect the imperial power.

"During the period of the emperor, there was a phenomenon of redundant officials, redundant soldiers, and King Wen once proposed feasible methods for these phenomena. Ah Jiu thought it was appropriate to use it at this time. As for the selection of officials, it is also time to add some fresh ideas of blood.

The father thought that this move would affect the power of the two sides. If these corpses are replaced with a group of people who are really useful, they will naturally belong to the power of the emperor.In this way, which side's power will grow? "

According to Ah Jiu's method, the reshuffle in the court not only has useful officials, but also weakens the power of Cai Xiang and Zhuge Shenhou, which is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

How could the emperor not think of the way that Ah Jiu could think of, but his current body didn't know if he could hold it.If he died in the middle of the matter, it would be better not to do it.

Yes, when a person has been in a stable environment for a long time, he no longer wants to seek changes.

Although the emperor has a heart to seek change, he is too introverted, afraid that this will change the current peaceful and peaceful situation.

The emperor remained silent, but Ah Jiu was no longer aggressive. In fact, she also knew the embarrassment of her father.

If she really follows her idea, it will cause earth-shaking changes to the entire court and even the Great Song Dynasty, and if one is not careful, it may cause serious consequences.

However, for Ah Jiu, she had foreseen no matter how serious the consequences would be.

The emperor saw his daughter's restless heart and determination in her blood, which he lacked, but he had to grind her, and things had to be done step by step.

"Ah Jiu, you go back first, I have to think about it."

"Father, you should cut it off and let it mess you up. Instead of letting that piece of meat rot, it's better to gouge out the flesh so as to have a new life."

The words Ah Jiu said before leaving made the emperor unable to recover for a long time. Maybe he was really old and began to be timid, and he no longer had the previous aggressiveness.

After leaving, Ah Jiu did not stay in the palace any longer, but said goodbye to the queen and returned to Shenhou's mansion.

Zhuge Shenhou has a lot of affairs, so he is not in the mansion at this time, but he has the rare leisure time, so he did not stay in the small building, but sat in the hall of the mansion.

"Brother, why are you sitting here?"

As soon as Ah Jiu entered the door, he saw Wu Qing sitting there, his footsteps suddenly became brisk, and he approached him with a bit of joy on his face.

On weekdays, Wuqing is taciturn, but when facing people close to him, Wuqing is never stingy with his words, and he expresses his intentions in one word.

"Ah Jiu, I'm waiting for you."

Ah Jiu was overjoyed at first when she heard the words, and then she knew Wu Qing's intentions. Thinking of what happened to her last night and today, she suddenly wanted to say a lot to Wu Qing.

In Ah Jiu's mind, most of the time, Wuqing is the best listener.She would always want to tell Wuqing what was on her mind, but Wuqing would never reveal a single word, this could be regarded as a little secret between the two of them.

"Brother, we haven't finished playing chess yesterday, I have a new solution, do you want to try it?"

The so-called chess game was just a rhetoric, and they knew what Ah Jiu wanted to do.

"Let's give it a try!"
