Chapter 951 How to change this matter?
"When you go back to your Majesty, I am the county magistrate who was acting as the county magistrate. The county magistrate said that it was agreed by the Queen Mother Bao." Seeing that he could not hide it, the county magistrate quickly said loudly.
When Emperor Wu Lei heard this, his face turned pale.
He had a trace of luck, but now he was gone.
Seeing this, Chen Liuzhen raised his chin slightly comfortably. Although he had no expression on his face, he obviously looked like he had won.
Xie Yuan glanced at Chen Liuzhen, feeling complicated.
She did not agree with Chen Liuzhen's knowledge and not reporting the matter, hiding these illegal things and helping the evil in disguise.
However, as he said, His Majesty has unknowingly lowered his bottom line in his compromise with Empress Dowager Bao again and again, as if he had boiled a frog in warm water.
If he didn't hurt him once, he would just keep living by just being so slapped. In that way, the Empress Dowager would only have a greater threat.
Xie Yuan sighed in his heart: It’s hard to say that, maybe this is a court battle, fighting for people’s hearts, and conspiracy.
After all, her experience in the Southern Song Dynasty had already told her that it was far from enough to rely on her passion and a bright and upright heart.
Thinking of this, Xie Yuan's face showed a look of loss and dejection, his figure was straight, and his eyes were down.
...
...
The emperor did not give any orders to deal with him and came back directly.
After arriving at the previously agreed place and meeting with the emperor's guard of honor, the emperor himself entered the imperial carriage in a depressed manner to rest.
Xie Yuancai dared to ask Chen Liuzhen what the emperor meant. She sighed and asked in disappointment:
"Hey... Is Your Majesty still planning to favor Queen Mother Bao and the others? If he continues to do so, then I will be extremely disappointed."
At that time, they had already entered their tent and were washing up. Xie Yuan sighed and wiped the water from his face clean.
Chen Liuzhen smiled sweetly, with a very proud look. He glanced outside, covered his hands and attached himself to Xie Yuan's ear and said:
"You are wrong, this time the Queen Mother Bao is really over."
Xie Yuan felt that his ears were irritated by the heat, so he raised his hand and asked in surprise:
"Why? Where did you see it?"
Chen Liuzhen was in a good mood. He held his wide sleeves and paced while saying:
"Oh, you don't understand Your Majesty's thoughts. If he wants to favor the Queen Mother Bao's party as usual, then he will easily order punishment, as long as he does not hurt Queen Mother Bao and then be able to live a good life.
Now His Majesty is holding things in his heart. He doesn't want to expose this matter, so he looks heavy and depressed...
He is now fighting against heaven and man in his heart. So that must be a big decision, so he is so in trouble."
After hearing this, Xie Yuan felt something was right, so he nodded and asked sincerely:
"Will Your Majesty kill Empress Dowager Bao? Will he hesitate and give up?"
Chen Liuzhen's happy mood suddenly became depressed. He lowered his eyes and was silent for a while, and said in anger:
"I don't know... whether to kill or not, she can't step on our heads and point fingers in the future!"
...
...
In the next few days, they walked through several counties and counties, and left the team several times, and chatted with local elderly people.
The emperor never mentioned the matter of Empress Dowager Bao again, as if he had forgotten it, but at the same time, he ordered Chen Liuzhen to let the nearby field recruits come to see him and he would personally receive it.
Moreover, various information and materials from the court were also sorted and sent by the queen who was in the Pingcheng Supervisor.
So the emperor who was running on the road said that he was traveling, but he was even busier and nervous than in the palace, revealing the peace of the storm everywhere.
The eunuch who served the emperor came down from the imperial carriage with a dinner plate, looked sad and found Chen Liuzhen and said:
"Shizhong Chen, please advise Your Majesty. He is in a bad mood and is so busy that he doesn't eat any more food. Isn't that... the good food is cold again. Our family advises you for a few words, and Your Majesty will stare at you... You kiss him, and you go and persuade him. If this continues, it will be bad for your health."
Chen Liuzhen looked at the food and said to him:
"You can bring it to the hot again, and I'll send it to you."
"Oh... OK." The eunuch responded happily.
But just after he finished speaking, another eunuch ran over and said to Chen Liuzhen:
"Shi Zhong, Your Majesty is here to go."
Chen Liuzhen had no choice but to instruct the eunuch, "You go and heat first, take it over after the heat is ready, and I'll pick it up." After that, he turned around and headed to the imperial carriage.
As soon as Chen Liuzhen got into the car, he called out "Your Majesty." Emperor Wu Lei called Chen Liuzhen to sit down and said directly:
"I have been away from several counties these days and found that the law of officials taking office and dividing land to the local area was indeed inadvertent. At that time, I just thought that in order to prevent officials from plundering and embezzling in the local area, the court granted land and cut off their excuses. Who would have thought... Alas..."
Emperor Wu Lei sighed deeply as he said that, quite regretful.
Chen Liuzhen comforted him and said:
"Your Majesty... This is not your fault. At that time, we discussed it in the court, and so many people did not expect that there was such a disadvantage."
When the emperor heard this, he sneered. He seemed to be sore in his eyes, so he raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose and said:
"I don't believe it, they didn't expect it. I'm afraid they thought it, but because it's good for me, I don't want to say anything..."
The emperor said at the end, as if he was so angry that he suddenly cursed gloomy: "It's his mother..."
Chen Liuzhen was stunned, and then burst out with a "pop".
When the emperor saw him laughing, he knew that as the king of a country, he had lost his identity in such a curse. So he cleared his throat awkwardly and said:
"Stop laughing, just talk about it, how can this matter be changed?"
Chen Liuzhen then calmed down and sat upright. After thinking for a while, he said seriously:
"These days, I have been visiting the people with His Majesty, and I have thought about it seriously. If officials come to the local area and divide the land, it is not all bad. At least there are indeed fewer robbery and corruption.
Moreover, generally speaking, local officials will basically not be transferred after taking office, so the previous law did not cause too much land annexation. Your Majesty does not have to blame himself too much.
As for how to solve this loophole, I believe that the land assigned by officials of the corresponding level can be used as salary land.
Follow the official position, not the people."
Emperor Shi Yuwulei's eyes lit up, and with a look of joy, he leaned forward, pressed his hands on his knees and asked:
"Tell me in detail."
Chen Liuzhen said:
"Salary land is the land that serves as salary. After officials take office, they rely on it to live on it, but in essence it is still the land of the court. After officials leave office, they will return the land and leave it to the next person for use."
When Emperor Wu Lei heard this, he happily patted his palm and said:
"Same as I thought!"
