After sending Shi Deyi away, Zhao Xu spent a lot of time to calm down.

Then he knew why he was so angry?

It's not Liu Zhi, nor is it because the old party wants to start a party struggle.

These may make him uncomfortable or even angry, but they are unlikely to make him lose his temper like this.

After taking charge of the government in his previous life, he had learned to control his emotions.

Studying abroad for ten years in modern times has further sharpened his emotions.

Let him learn to keep his emotions and anger hidden, and also let him learn how to disguise himself.

Therefore, he can even be brothers with those people who disgust every nerve in his body.

Therefore, what really made him lose his temper was hidden in the details, in the nightmare of his previous life.

Retreat from the three traitors and advance into the three virtuous people!

Liu Zhi's slogans buzzed in his ears.

He took another deep breath to calm down his emotions.

In his previous life, it was this slogan that completely kicked off the Yuanyou party struggle.

It was under Liu Zhi's call and leadership that tragedies of political persecution began to occur.

Cai Que was demoted to death, Deng Wan was demoted to death, and Zhang Dun and Lu Huiqing were almost all tortured to death.

Zhao Xu, who was in Bianjing City, was closely monitored by the old party literati and officials.

All the people left to him by his father were expelled.

Those days and nights, those days when I lived with the nightmare that someone might overturn it like a new law.

Zhao Xu thought he had completely defeated.

But the facts told him that he didn't.

He was still afraid and still uneasy about it.

Even though his current situation is completely different from his previous life.

But he still couldn't escape that nightmare.

The nightmare of being watched, the nightmare of being deposed.

This was the source of his gaffe.

A type of PTSD that occurs when exposed to external stimuli.

So, Zhao Xu slowly closed his eyes and began to self-regulate his psychology.

"I have taken control of the power..."

"I will banish Liu Zhi sooner or later!"

"I won't let myself be in that kind of environment again!"

After muttering to himself like this, when Zhao Xu opened his eyes again, he had returned to his original state.

He is still the gentle, courteous, kind and wise emperor.

Not the violent, murderous, arbitrary, and ruthless king just now!

"Feng Jing..." Zhao Xu called.

"What are your orders?"

"Are you going to be late for today's sutra feast?" Zhao Xu stood up: "Let's go quickly!"

"Wei!" Feng Jing respectfully accepted the order.

"After I go to the Sutra Banquet, you go and talk to Shi De..." Zhao Xu ordered: "Let the Detective Department find out the matter for me!"

"Don't have any stance, just do what it should be! Understand?"

"clear!"

…

When Zhao Xu arrived at Jiying Hall, he still arrived on time.

But he still thanked the banquet officials modestly who had already arrived.

Then he announced that because he slept too much today, he would punish himself by copying the college chapter of the "Book of Rites" once as a way of self-examination.

Fan Chunren, the banquet officials headed by Lu Dafang were naturally fooled by his acting skills, and they all expressed their admiration: "It is really a blessing for the world to have such a holy master in our Song Dynasty!"

The prayer feast on this day was as ordinary as usual.

Zhao Xu still plays his role of being humble, studious and smart.

He also spread his character quietly through the banquet officials.

Bianjing Xinbao can only influence the common people in Bianjing city, and it is the lower-level officials who are affected to death.

Jingyan officials can influence the scholar-bureaucrats in the entire world.

Their poetry and prose, as well as their moral character, were enough to convince the scholar-bureaucrats to believe their words.

After the Sutra Banquet, Zhao Xu, as usual, greeted the officials of the Sutra Banquet and paid their respects one by one.

Then he was the last one to leave Jiying Hall.

Doing this is of course very tiring.

But this is the path he chose, and he enjoys it.

He is young and his body bones have not grown.

This is the only way to support hope.

Scholars and officials raise their hopes for the future.

The emperor raised his hopes so that he could do what he wanted to do in the future with minimal pressure and criticism from the government and the opposition.

…

After leaving Jiying Hall, Zhao Xu went to Baoci Palace to pay his respects as usual.

By the way, I also reported on the lesson of today’s prayer feast.

"Brother Six, come here with the Queen Mother..." Xiang Empress Dowager smiled, and after listening to Zhao Xu's story about today's feast, she waved to him: "There happened to be a case, and both the Queen Mother and the Mother-in-law were a little hesitant..."

"Brother Six is ​​also here to give me some advice!"

Queen Mother Xiang has been like this lately.

She always tried every means to get Zhao Xu more involved in state affairs.

The Empress Dowager was also persuaded by her - "Mother, Sixth Brother is the emperor and will always grow up! Sixth Brother is involved in state affairs, so even if there are some treacherous ministers and villains who want to alienate the Tian family in the future, they will have no chance.

take advantage of!"

This reflected the worries hidden in the heart of the Empress Dowager.

She was worried about King Yang's affairs, and also worried about Zhang Maoze's case, which might have some loose ends left untied.

And these things are like a thorn in the side, always making the Empress Dowager uneasy.

At this time, the Queen Mother's persuasion and suggestion suddenly made her realize - I have treated the officials like this, what will the officials know when they grow up? As long as I think of my current situation, they will definitely pretend not to know!

She was also convinced that Zhao Xu would do this.

Because this child is smart, and also because this child is really filial!

Therefore, the Empress Dowager happily agreed.

Zhao Xu sat next to Empress Dowager Xiang, pretending not to know anything, blinking and asked: "Mother, what is the case of Empress Dowager?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "It's just a small case..."

"A monk sued the official Shouqiu of the Senglu Department of Kaifeng Prefecture..."

"Shouqiu?" Zhao Xu asked in question, and then said: "Mother, Sun Chen is in the Jiying Palace. I remember Fan Xueshi once said that the subordinate officials of the country used to make a living by receiving qiu, but my father recommended

En, use the "Chonglucang Law" to keep the subordinate officials honest. From then on, the subordinate officials will be greatly weakened by Qiu's influence..."

"Especially for the officials in Kaifeng Mansion, their salaries are quite generous nowadays!"

It is very common for a Kaifeng Prefecture official to receive seven, eight, or even ten guan or more in monthly salary plus salary.

And this income exceeds the income of most ordinary people in Bianjing City.

It is enough to support a family even in Bianjing City.

Of course, along with heavy pay, there are also heavy punishments.

After the Xining Reform and the implementation of the Chonglucang Law, Wang Anshi immediately formulated a set of strict laws against subordinate officials.

While giving money, he was served with severe punishment.

It is hoped that the lawlessness of subordinate officials will be curbed from both the economic and institutional aspects.
