"Brother Zecheng, I am just eating the emperor's salary and doing the emperor's work. As an admonishment officer, what I have to do is to pick up all the officials and supervise the imperial power. Gu Tingye made a mistake, and others were afraid of him and didn't want to say it.

But I have to say it. If you are not brave enough to speak out as an admonisher, how can you stand up and wear the official uniform?"

Qi Heng said in a high-sounding voice, he was much more mature and he didn't know what to say at all.

The difference between admonishers and censors is that admonishers have greater supervisory responsibilities towards the emperor.

The admonishment officer mainly criticizes the emperor, and the censor mainly criticizes the prime minister and officials. Of course, the boundaries between these two powers have become increasingly unclear, and they have been collectively called Taijian.

In the position of admonishment doctor, the biggest task is to find fault with the emperor.

The empress dowager arranged Qi Heng in this way to restrain the emperor, which was quite the right way.

"Yuan Ruo, since you entered the court, you have done a lot of things. Not only did you persuade the officials, you also solved the case of rebelling against the king, cleaned up the remaining party members who rebelled against the king, and swept away the decadence in the court. You have done a lot.

Okay. But since you became an official, you have been impeaching people non-stop. With such a high profile, are you being too aggressive?"

As soon as Gu Tingye entrusted him, Sheng Changbai came to find Qi Heng.

It was also because Sheng Changbai wanted to have a chat with Qi Heng.

Qi Heng's character and ability are both good. Staying in the imperial court is more valuable than being a political victim.

Sheng Changbai still hoped that Qi Heng would not follow the Queen Mother to death.

Although the Duke of Qi was born into the Queen Mother's party.

It was also because of the blessing of the Queen Mother that the Duke of Qi maintained its current power.

After the new emperor came to power, the Duke's Palace of Qi was not liquidated.

Although the Queen Mother, a widow, was inherited by Zhao Zongquan from her husband's inheritance and was bullied by his heirs, she was indeed worthy of sympathy.

But doing politics is just doing politics, and there is no room for so many personal feelings.

No matter how you look at it, the stock of Queen Mother looks like it will only fall to the bottom.

Qi Heng followed the Queen Mother, and it was obvious that there was no way out.

Now the harder Qi Heng helps the Queen Mother charge into battle, the harder Qi Heng will be punished after the Queen Mother retreats.

As Sheng Changbai meant, although the Qi family relied on the Queen Mother, they did enjoy a lot of protection and support from the Queen Mother.

But Qi Heng worked hard for the Queen Mother, so it was enough to return the Queen Mother's favor, and there was no need to sell his life to the Queen Mother.

Even if the Queen Mother loses her power, she is still the highest-status woman in the Zhou Dynasty and can still enjoy the most luxurious life in the Zhou Dynasty.

If the Duke of Qi's palace was liquidated, it would probably involve confiscating the family and seizing the title, which would be much worse than the Queen Mother.

"How can we seek good fortune and avoid misfortune when we serve the country and are loyal to the king?" Qi Heng said.

"Yuan Ruo, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your father, mother, and wife. As an official, you still need to learn to cherish your life. Only by being able to keep it useful can you make a big difference." Sheng Changbai said with sincerity.

"The Queen Mother has been a nurturing person to my mother, has been kind to our family, and has been kind to me. How can I not dedicate myself to repay her kindness?"

Perhaps because he heard Sheng Changbai's sincerity, Qi Heng finally became more sincere when he said this.

There is no more high-sounding statement about doing these things for the sake of the country.

To be clear, I basically do these things for the Queen Mother.

"Yuan Ruo, you are not the only way to repay your kindness to the Queen Mother. As the mother of the country, the Queen Mother is responsible for the entire world. You serve the court with all your heart, and you are also repaying the Queen Mother..."

We still need to do ideological work for Qi Heng and change his ideas.

Don't mindlessly do things for the Queen Mother just to repay your kindness.

"I will think about what you said, Brother Zecheng."

Qi Heng thought for a while and then said.

"Even if the Queen Mother retreats and returns to the harem, she is still the most noble woman in the world. No one can bully her." The reason why Qi Heng was willing to be the Queen Mother's "thug" was because the Queen Mother said that she was bullied by Zhao Zongquan.

In order to repay the Queen Mother, Qi Heng was determined to help the Queen Mother fight for power and join the emperor's Yuzhou gang.

"Think more about your parents and their expectations for you. Your mother has such high expectations for you."

As a filial person, his parents can be said to be Qi Heng's weakness.

After chatting with Qi Heng, the matter was over.

Whether or not it will be effective depends on Qi Heng's subsequent actions.

…

Qi Heng may have also heard some of Sheng Changbai's words.

For a while, there was no impeachment of the Yuzhou gang.

During this period of time, the Yuzhou group became more peaceful and no longer as aggressive as when they first entered Bianliang.

These people in Yuzhou grew up poor and have never learned any rules.

I have never been an official, so I don’t understand some of the unspoken rules in official circles.

Because they are all emperors and old people, they only rely on emotion and not ability. It is inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad, and there are many domineering people.

It is believed that when Zhao Zongquan became emperor, the people of Yuzhou ruled the world.

I feel that my status is higher, and it is difficult for this group of people to cause trouble every day.

From time to time, there would be some violations of the etiquette system, and people would run wild in Bianliang City, becoming domineering and arrogant.

In fact, these people are no more low-key than the original Yongwang and Yanwang families.

Moreover, because of lack of education and lack of rules, he behaves more vulgarly and arrogantly.

Although the emperor brought few people from Yuzhou, there were not many people in these families.

Each person represents a big family behind him, or even one family plus many families with in-laws.

These people cannot learn the rules of Bianliang.

But following the original dandy and libertine from Bianliang, it was easy to learn how to be domineering, how to disturb the people, and how to cause trouble.

Such a large number of people entered Bianliang and became the new rich in Bianliang.

As a "noble person" in Bianliang, it is of course necessary to buy property.

But the field shops, various businesses in Bianliang City, and the farms outside the city have already been saturated after decades of founding.

Especially if you want to buy large-scale land, you can never buy it anytime you want.

In order to buy property for themselves, these people will inevitably use their power to pressure others and buy and sell by force.

During this time, the Yuzhou gang had already purchased properties that should have been purchased.

Those who dare to violate etiquette and law are laughed at and impeached more often. With experience, they also know how to restrain themselves.

After a year, the Yuzhou gang has initially adapted to Bianliang.

After autumn, it is winter, when the temperature is so low that it is necessary to light a charcoal fire in the house.

Sheng Changbai also switched from riding a horse to traveling in a carriage.

Occasionally, when I was working at the Yushitai, I would go home with Sheng Hong, who was working at the Ministry of Industry.

"My lord, Changbai, you are happy."

Wang Ruofu said with great joy when he saw the two people coming back from the Yamen.

"Where does happiness come from?" Sheng Hong replied.

"Isn't it a happy event when it snows? This is the first snow since the beginning of winter. If there is more snow like this this winter, there will be no shortage of water next year. It will definitely be a good year."

Sheng Changbai then said that in the era of relying on the weather, all classes, from the emperor to the tenants, were very concerned about the weather.

Generally speaking, there is still some drought near Bianliang this year.

Land without irrigation conditions is still one or two levels higher than a land with poor harvests in good years.

Sheng Changbai was still in a good mood after seeing snow fall after winter for a few years.

Compared with after it snowed, the weather became colder and the cost of heating carbon stone increased, and some poor people's houses were collapsed by the snow.

The problem of drought is still more difficult to solve.

"Of course snow is a happy event, but what I want to tell you is an even bigger happy event." Wang Ruofu said with a smile on his face.

"If you have any happy events, just tell me directly. No need to hold back." Sheng Hong urged.

"His family is happy!"

"Where is she? Let me see where she is."

Sheng Changbai was notified of such things many times, but after hearing this, he did not panic.

But for new life, no matter how many times you experience it, you will still feel the same surprise.

"I didn't keep her in Wei Ruixuan today. I asked her to go back and rest." Wang Ruofu said back to Sheng Changbai.

"Are you sure? Have you checked with a doctor?" Sheng Hong also asked.

Regarding the issue of heirs, although Sheng Hong was not as hasty as Wang Ruofu, he still cared about the fourth generation of the Sheng family.
