The next day, Bai Sheng got up early and completed a series of procedures such as washing up under the service of the palace servants. After having breakfast, he sent someone to recruit Prime Minister Xuchang into Changxin Palace.
In addition to needing to use him to send out an important signal that his body has returned to health.
We should also learn about changes in government affairs through him.
Not long after Xuchang came here, Emperor Jianyuan hurried over with a group of people and a lot of bamboo slips to ask for an audience, and after saying hello to Prime Minister Xuchang.
Just put down the pile of bamboo slips:
"Since Prime Minister Xu is here, I won't disturb other people. I will let you help read these bamboo slips to the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother has just recovered from a serious illness, so she invited you to come. I think she is also concerned about the affairs of the government. Naturally, I We can't slack off, this is all government affairs in the past two months.
It also includes major national and DPRK events in the past two months.
Prime Minister, please read more carefully! "
After saying that, Emperor Jianyuan paid a little attention to Bai Sheng, then said that he still had something to do, and said goodbye and left.
“After over and over again, it’s still so clever.
Mr. Xu, please continue with the previous rhythm and tell us all the big things that happened in the past two months. There is no need to mention the small things. The Ai family just wants to understand the situation. They are blind, but they cannot be deaf.
If you don’t hear, hear or see, you know nothing. "
How could Bai Sheng not understand Emperor Jianyuan's true intention, but she didn't care, because she had never thought about being a diligent and caring empress dowager. Since Emperor Jianyuan had done so well in many aspects That's great. Why should she worry about everything?
Just keep an eye on him and don't let him make mistakes.
Just let him go.
It's just that I haven't figured out yet how to express my attitude to Emperor Jianyuan more tactfully, and letting him go to power doesn't mean that I have to give up power. If I really give it up, I won't be able to get it back in the future.
So you have to strike a good balance between the two.
These white saints don't have much experience, so they can only try to explore and give it a try based on their original memories.
Xuchang is still relatively close to the original person, so of course he listens to Bai Sheng's words at this time. Dangjie continues to report back in an orderly manner, recounting the major events that happened in the past two months, such as Renzi in April, the fire in Gaoyuan Palace, the comet rising, Huainan The king seemed to have something strange, so he said it all.
Overall, it's no big deal.
There are no external worries or internal strife, and it is relatively peaceful.
"Good, in the future, if it is not a natural disaster, if it is not the invasion of the foreign enemy Xiongnu, and the big thing of going out to defend the enemy, don't report everything to me. The ministers and your majesty should be able to make decisions about small things. The Ai family is just worried that Che'er is too young and angry. He was prosperous and did not know the importance. He wasted people and money, and the princes were full of resentment, so they could not stop him by intervening in politics.
As long as he can follow the example of Huang Lao in the future, he can bring peace to the country and the people.
The Ai family will not interfere too much. "
Although he still didn't make it too clear, Bai Sheng's meaning was actually very obvious. He wanted to inform Emperor Jianyuan through Xuchang that he wanted to delegate power.
It was Xuchang who came forward to inform.
It can also ease the relationship between him and Emperor Jianyuan.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, we can no longer promote Confucianism, and we must follow the rule of Huang and Lao.
If you want to follow Huang Lao's rule, you must not overwork people and money, harm the people, recruit corvees, and increase taxes. If Emperor Jianyuan violates the rules in the future, Bai Sheng will have no reason to intervene.
It can be regarded as a conditional delegation of power.
After all, Xuchang has lived for so many years and has been involved in the officialdom for so many years. It is naturally impossible that he cannot understand what Bai Sheng means. In addition, he also knows that being a middleman in doing this has only advantages and no disadvantages, so even if he repeatedly Nodding to show understanding: "No!"
Then he bowed respectfully, excused himself and left.
Prepare to go to Weiyang Palace to inform Emperor Jianyuan about this.
Although Bai Sheng is ready to delegate power, he has no intention of just being a carefree old lady. In the final analysis, the main reason why Emperor Jianyuan will waste money and people in the future, leading to the decline of people's livelihood, is the lack of money.
If he has endless money and food.
Why go to all the trouble to plunder the people again.
He is plundering the princes and powerful families again!
If the problem of insufficient money and food can be solved, many problems will not arise at all. If productivity is slightly improved and weapons and ammunition are upgraded, more problems will definitely not arise. Anyway, idleness is idle, and encounters Problems cannot always be solved by just preventing them. It is better to solve them at the root.
So after Xuchang left, Bai Sheng quickly arranged for his cronies to organize his assets.
And think about where to start.
And who to bring in to work together.
After all, she is a blind old lady. She cannot do many things by herself. She cannot even read the memorials and account books. Why report to her?
Because she couldn't read the bamboo slips.
You can only listen to others read it.
In this case, many things are very inconvenient to do, so she needs to find some people, preferably to form a community of interests, and she will take the lead in achieving win-win cooperation.
"Although my daughter Liu is a bit of a prostitute, she is generally quite sensible and obedient. According to my mother-in-law, she is not very obedient, capable, and not very smart. Let's go back and pick a few young ones to see if they can lead them. .
If you can carry them, you can take them with you.
If you can't carry it, forget it.
By the way, there are also a bunch of grandsons. These grandsons are all princes and kings now. If these princes and kings are brought together, transportation and logistics will definitely be much more convenient.
There are also some in-laws of the princes.
But after all, I have just recovered from a serious illness, so I don’t need to be too anxious for the time being. I’d better get used to my current body first.
It’s really hard to do it when you can’t see anything! "
After having specific ideas, many plans naturally emerged. However, Bai Sheng knew better that her not getting used to the life of a blind person was her biggest dilemma at present. The original body could rely on the keen hearing she had developed over decades. , try to prevent yourself from being deceived.
But even though Bai Sheng inherited the original body's memory and body, it was not so easy to inherit the skills that the original body had developed after decades of training.
It takes time to get used to it, so that she can integrate the original skills into her own.
In addition, she also plans to try to see if she can draw drawings and write text without seeing it. After all, some techniques may not be fully explained just by talking about them.
Still have to rely on writing and drawings.
to accurately convey what you mean.
Fortunately, the original person was literate before she became blind. Bai Sheng also knew how to write the official script here through the original person's memory. Otherwise, she would have been really blind and could neither see nor write.
If you want to do something like that, it will definitely be more troublesome.
Although it is quite troublesome now, at least it is a trouble that she can solve with a little hard work.
