As for Bai Sheng, there is really no idea of changing the emperor. After all, instead of changing to a new emperor who does not know the details and abilities, it is better to keep this one with good brains and abilities, with slight restrictions.
It's a pity that there is a lack of communication with each other.
It should be difficult to trust each other in the short term.
Especially after the Queen Mother's analysis, Emperor Jianyuan was even more afraid to trust the insidious and cunning Queen Mother.
Specifically, on the second day, he still sent a lot of bamboo slips to Changxin Palace. He reported all the big and small things, which was very annoying. The most important thing was that Bai Sheng couldn't get angry because of it. After all, he was also filial. !
The original person was actually so annoyed when Emperor Jianyuan first came to the throne. It was because he was annoyed that he put down his hand, and then he found an opportunity to implement the Jianyuan New Deal.
Later, Jianyuan's New Deal offended too many people.
Those people went to cry outside Changxin Palace together, and the original person learned that Emperor Jianyuan still wanted to seize her power, so they took action angrily and got involved in politics again. And to put it in a not so pleasant way, it was fortunate that Emperor Jianyuan was the original person. grandson.
At the same time, the original person had no idea of deposing the emperor.
Otherwise, given the situation at that time and the supporting attitude of the hundreds of officials and princes, it would really not be difficult to depose the emperor.
Now this guy is doing his old tricks again. After Bai Sheng thought about it carefully, she finally felt that she couldn't go on like this, but at the same time, she couldn't just ignore everything and just put down her hands like the original person did at the beginning, so in the end she decided to follow her Let’s talk openly and honestly with this grandson.
Therefore, in the afternoon of the same day, Bai Sheng sent someone to invite Emperor Jianyuan over again, and then asked the palace people to go down first just like he had whispered with his daughter last time.
"The Ai family is blind but not blind. There are some things that the Ai family know very well, so let's talk openly and honestly."
As soon as he knelt down and sat down, Bai Sheng took the lead and said:
"The Ai family knows that you feel that today's relatives have a lot of shackles. Now that you want to remove the power of the Ai family, you should also want to remove the power of your mother, the Queen Mother, in the future.
Now that Aijia is alive, there are some things that you can't do.
But after the death of the Ai family, I think you will immediately find excuses for Xuchang and others to be abolished, such as poor management of the Ai family's funeral, etc. After that, you will probably try to abolish the Dou Ying Dou family, and then slowly no longer tolerate it. Not being able to leave the Tian family, even my cousin Gillian has been childless.
You want to be a dictatorial emperor, right?
He even wanted to fight against the Huns! "
Hearing this, Emperor Jianyuan felt a cold sweat break out from behind, and his heart couldn't help but tremble. It was hard to say whether he would try to abolish Dou Ying in the future, and whether his mother-in-law could not stand his mother's family, but he wanted to use the excuse of ineffective funeral management to abolish Dou Ying. The idea of losing Prime Minister Xuchang and others was indeed a sudden idea that came to him two days ago when he saw that the emperor's grandmother was seriously ill.
The most important thing is that he only imagined this idea in his own mind and never implemented it. He didn't even tell anyone else, but his royal grandmother could directly guess it. It was as terrifying as being able to read minds. .
At this moment, his mind was blank.
Naturally, it is impossible to respond in time.
"The Ai family actually agrees with some of your ideas. Although they cannot accept them in full, they agree with some of them. However, you may think too simplistically about some things. The Huns are not that easy to fight. You need to think twice before making any decisions. There must be sufficient preparation.
Forget it, Aijia came to you today just to tell you clearly that some of the things you want to do can be done now, as long as you don’t take too big a step.
In addition, we must remember the two bottom lines of Aijia.
First, Confucianism can be used, but it must not be reused. Huang Laofang is the foundation of governing the country and cannot be shaken.
No increase in taxes or servitude may be made.
The second is that there must be people from the Ai family in the court. You can keep the small things from the Ai family, but the Ai family must know the big things, unless the Ai family dies one day, do you understand?
In this way, if there is anything that Aijia feels is inappropriate, we can learn about it in time and give you some advice. "
"In the next period of time, the Ai family may find some clan members to join forces to do some business. There is a high probability that they don't have time on weekdays. If it is not an important matter, there is no need to disturb the Ai family.
Prime Minister Xuchang, if you have a better choice, you can change it, but you must have the ability. Don't bring up the one named Tian. He is worse than Dou Ying, the nephew of the Ai family. With the Ai family suppressing him, there should be nothing on your mother's side. You can talk, but what happens next is up to you. "
Bai Sheng continued to speak straightforwardly.
She was really afraid that Emperor Jianyuan wouldn't understand, or that her divergent thinking was just superficial meaning, so she had to delve into the deeper meaning.
I always felt that there was something in her words.
At this point, Emperor Jianyuan reluctantly believed that his imperial grandmother was really honest with her this time. After all, she had already spoken so straightforwardly. It was hard not to believe it.
Although this situation is definitely not as good as the direct death of his imperial grandmother, if his imperial grandmother really delegates power and helps him suppress his mother, then overall, he will be quite satisfied.
Anyway, it’s much better than before:
"Royal Grandma, I will work hard!"
"Okay, then you can go back. Remember, some things should not be rushed. The last New Deal offended too many people. Although the reform will definitely offend people, if the strength is not enough and the confidence is not enough.
We still need to unite the majority.
When you accomplish something big one day and gain enough prestige, it won't be too late to consider new policy reforms. "
After a few more instructions and instructions, Bai Sheng sent Emperor Jianyuan away and continued his plans for the Chamber of Commerce. He tried his best to complete what he could do by himself. If he really couldn't, he could only rely on his cronies.
In the process, Bai Sheng not only gradually became familiar with some of the skills of the original body, but also used the skills mastered by the original body for his own use. He also learned a lot of things that he didn't know before, or had misunderstood, through communication and discussions with his close associates. And gained a new understanding of Daqian productivity.
For example, although the mainstream in Daqian still uses bamboo slips and cloth, paper already exists, but the raw materials are mainly silk and hemp. The cost of using silk is too expensive, and it is almost as good as writing directly on silk. The price of using hemp is It has come down, but the quality is so poor that it is difficult to use.
Papermaking has been around for a long time, but it still needs improvement.
As for salt, it’s just that the quality of the salt eaten by civilians is poor. The salt they eat has basically no bitter taste and is all natural lake salt.
These salts were placed over two thousand years later.
It can still be sold at a high price in the name of natural salt.
Some other daily necessities that the Empress Dowager originally used were not bad, including pots similar to hot pots, tools similar to pressure cookers, and light distilled liquor with relatively low alcohol content.
In short, many things are only slightly backward in materials and technology, but most of the specific functions are available.
It just costs a lot and is exclusive to the nobility.
It's basically out of reach of ordinary people.
