"This Feng Qian, I really did not misjudge you!"
Empress Liang Zhao was also moved. It was her wish to have such a minister.
If everyone in the Great Wasteland court is like this, why worry about the Great Wasteland not flourishing?
"Since he did not die in the end and became the censor, it means that Zhou Zhenwen or Yang Fu saved him."
"Well, that's fine. The sacrifice was not in vain."
Empress Liang Zhao nodded slightly. She wanted to reuse Feng Qian.
After the Qingzhou rebellion is resolved, she can use this excuse to promote Feng Qian.
[Zhou Zhenwen: Want to die? How easy it is to die! Go out and take a look at the people under your governance. How much do they pay in order to live and have a full meal? As an official of the imperial court and a parent official of Hexi County, you say you want to die? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Do you think that if you submit this memorandum to the Holy Emperor, the poison in Liangzhou will be cleared away? I tell you, it's impossible! You can do nothing but die in vain! After your death, Hexi County will have a new magistrate and continue to enslave the people...]
[Zhou Zhenwen: Everyone is destined to die. It may be lighter than a feather, or heavier than Mount Tai, but your death is lighter than a feather! 】
[Feng Qian: No, no, it shouldn’t be like this! As long as the Holy One can see it, he will definitely make the decision for me and the people of Liangzhou! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: The emperor touches the entire Liangzhou officialdom just for you? Or do you think the emperor can kill so many officials in one go? Wake up, all this is just your wishful thinking! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Let me ask you, do you want to be famous forever? Or do you want to change Liangzhou, or even the whole world? 】
[Feng Qian responded without hesitation: Of course it will change Liangzhou and the whole world! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: The world does not need an admonishment minister whose name will go down in history, but a capable minister who can change the world, and a dirty minister who can endure the infamy. Let me ask you, besides you, who else in Liangzhou does not greedy? 】
[Feng Qian was stunned. This question was a bit difficult for him to answer. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Are they all greedy? Why greed? You might say, because they are full of greed in their hearts, because they do not see the common people in their eyes, because they themselves are people who are greedy for pleasure! Yes, everything you said is right, this is reality! However, have you ever thought that for an official, his salary is too low, so why not be greedy? 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: In their eyes, a mere lowly businessman is even more extravagant and lustful than they are! How could their hearts be unbalanced? 】
Empress Liang looked at the conversation between the two people in the picture and was also thinking.
"I have to admit that the current salary is indeed low."
"But the rash increase in salary will place too great a burden on the national treasury, and the salary cannot be moved for the time being!"
"Besides, these officials are used to corruption, and the salary increase from the court cannot fill their stomachs at all!"
Empress Liang Zhao knew very well that reform was imperative, but it could not be done now. With Queen Mother Su Chang in the way, it could not be carried out at all. Moreover, before reform could be carried out, the vassal system must be reduced, otherwise the vassal king system would lie on the New Deal. Vampire! !
“Only by reducing internal burdens can we gradually implement reforms, otherwise there will be too much resistance.”
"In addition to the resistance from the civil and military officials of the imperial court, the power of the aristocratic families is also a great resistance."
[After this day, you changed. You became greedy. You began to actively join various gatherings in Liangzhou official circles, give gifts to your superiors, and continue to absorb the benefits. 】
[However, every night, you will record all these things. Whether it is names, stolen money, or stolen goods, you will carefully save them. When the right time comes in the future, these things will become your sharpest sword! 】
[As you "progress", you begin to have a prosperous official career and start to get promotions! 】
[You exchange part of the money into food, and subsidize it privately by hiring people to work. 】
[Your corrupt behavior has also made your reputation among the people worse, and the people think you have changed! 】
[He is no longer the great master Qingtian in their eyes! 】
【But only you know what you are doing! 】
[You must climb up, you must go to the capital, and appreciate the scenery of the capital. If you want to change Liangzhou, you must go to the capital and become a capital official! 】
[One day a few years later, you finally got this opportunity. 】
[You see Zhou Zhenwen again. At this moment, he has become a cabinet bachelor and has been transferred to the cabinet from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Master Feng, long time no see. How are you doing? 】
[You: Thanks to Bachelor Zhou, everything is fine! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Mr. Feng seems to have changed in recent years? 】
[You: I feel like I can’t do anything in Liangzhou. I can’t change Liangzhou. Corruption was not formed in a day. The whole Liangzhou is complicated. Even if I collect so much evidence, I still can’t bring down the whole Liangzhou! I'm going to the capital! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: Go to Beijing to file a petition? 】
[You: No, I want to be promoted, I want to join the cabinet, become an important minister of the court, and participate in the restructuring! 】
[Zhou Zhenwen: This is not easy to do! 】
[You: Please help Mr. Zhou! 】
[At this point, you quietly handed over a banknote. 】
[This move seems to have become your habit over the years! 】
[Money opens the way, and everything will work. 】
[Zhou Zhenwen waved his hand and refused the banknote: I'm not short of money, and this little money can't impress me! But I can help you... I can transfer you to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and become the Supervisory Censor. What to do next... You should know...]
[You: I understand. Next, Feng will follow Mr. Zhou’s lead! 】
When Empress Liang Zhao saw this scene, she frowned slightly and murmured: "Feng Qian is actually a member of the Tsing Yi Party?"
"So, Zhou Zhenwen will know that the incident in Qingzhou was leaked by Feng Qian?"
Empress Liang Zhao originally thought she would be very angry. After all, she was the person she valued, but she was someone else's subordinate from beginning to end. This feeling must be very frustrating and unpleasant!
But in fact, Empress Liang Zhao didn't feel much anger!
In other words, she is somewhat used to it now.
She was used to Zhou Zhenwen's specialness and power, and Zhou Zhenwen's far-reaching layout. Even from the beginning, when she saw Zhou Zhenwen and Yang Fu appearing together to protect Feng Qian, she had guessed this possibility.
"He was able to transform and come to the capital. It turned out to be Zhou Zhenwen's plan!"
Empress Liang Zhao thought about it and found that many things could correspond to each other.
For example, Zhou Zhenwen was the supervisory censor, and after he was transferred to the cabinet, Feng Qian became the supervisory censor and was transferred to the capital.
Another example is that the Qingzhou incident was obviously being carried out in secret, but Zhou Zhenwen seemed to know everything. He even knew some information earlier than himself, the emperor, and decided on a way to break the situation!
[As time passed, you were never put into great use by Emperor Qian. It was not until Emperor Qian passed away due to illness that you were finally appreciated by Emperor Xuan for your hard work. 】
[Emperor Xuan: Where is Aiqing from? 】
[You: Your Majesty, my ancestral home is Hexi, Liangzhou. 】
[Emperor Xuan: Well, the land of Liangzhou is bitterly cold, and Hexi County is extremely barren. Aiqing must have put in a lot of effort to become the censor, right? 】
[You: Everything is appreciated by His Majesty and the imperial court. Only then can I have the opportunity to become a supervisory censor and serve the country...]
[Emperor Xuan: Don’t be nervous. I asked you to come because I want to entrust you with a big thing. 】
Empress Liang Zhao looked at this scene and shook her head helplessly: "I told you such an important thing, but you turned around and told it to Zhou Zhenwen? It really disappoints me!!"
Empress Liang Zhao sighed, said nothing more, and continued reading.
[You: I will break into pieces and do my best to complete it. 】
[Emperor Xuan: Your inspection will be conducted secretly this time. I will send dragon guards to accompany you... I will give you a gold medal, which can mobilize troops from any county in Kyushu. If there is an emergency, , you can mobilize your troops and horses to kill first and then play. 】
[You also understand the importance of this matter and immediately asked: May I ask, Your Majesty, who is going to be inspected this time? 】
[Emperor Xuan: Qingzhou, I want you to secretly investigate Qingzhou’s grain reserves... You only need to report this matter to me alone. 】
[You: I obey the decree! 】
Empress Liang looked at herself in the picture, and she also had a wonderful feeling that was indescribable.
But the next moment, when the simulator screen turned, her expression changed.
Empress Liang Zhao directly broke through the defense and yelled: "Feng Qian, you bastard!!"
The simulator screen came to a secret room. Zhou Zhenwen sat lazily on a chair, drinking tea and listening to Feng Qian's report with a slight smile.
[Zhou Zhenwen: Qingzhou’s grain reserves? This little emperor is quite interesting...]
