"Your Majesty, you..."
In the imperial study room, a middle-aged man wearing a crimson court uniform handed over four or five memorials: "Your Majesty, these are the memorials corrected by the Queen of Heaven. Take a look... this place, and this place..."
He pointed out one by one: "The Queen of Heaven is as smart as a demon. She deliberately exposed these flaws because she didn't want the emperor to find out that she was too smart. If the Emperor is not taken into consideration, the Queen of Heaven can handle it all by herself."
The emperor chuckled: "I knew that every time she flirted with my evil fire, it was all to divert my attention."
But he is the emperor after all, how could he be so easily deceived?
But he also likes Yue'er, so he is willing to cooperate with her and be deceived, pretending to know nothing.
"Your Majesty, the Queen of Heaven is really a genius. Look at the way she proposed to govern the country. Enriching the people is the first step, and the key to enriching the people is frugality. This kind of political view is not difficult for men, but the Queen of Heaven has been raised in In the inner house, the skills learned are no more than those in the boudoir, but it is really rare to have such insights."
"And here, you see... Any way to govern a country must first enrich the people. If the people are rich, it is easy to govern, but if the people are poor, it is difficult to govern. How can you understand this? If the people are prosperous, the countryside will be peaceful and the family will be prosperous. If you respect your superiors and fear crime, if you respect your superiors and fear crime, it will be easy to govern. If the people are poor, they will endanger the countryside and despise their families. If they endanger the township and despise their families, they will dare to violate the prohibitions on the mausoleum. If they violate the prohibitions on the mausoleum, it will be difficult to govern. Therefore, if you govern a country, you will always be rich, but if you are in chaos, you will always be poor. This is Those who want to run a good country must first enrich the people and then govern them.”
In other words, whenever you govern a country, you must first make the people rich.
It is easy to rule when the people are rich, but it is difficult to rule when the people are poor.
If the people are wealthy, they can live in their hometowns with peace of mind and value their own industries. If they live in their hometowns and value their industries, they will respect officials and be afraid of crime. If the people respect officials and fear crimes, it will be easier to rule.
If people are poor and feel uneasy living in their hometowns, and they despise their own property, they dare to offend their superiors and violate laws. If people dare to offend officials and violate laws, it will be difficult to rule.
Therefore, in a peaceful and troubled dynasty, the people will always be wealthy; in a turbulent and troubled dynasty, the people will always be poor.
Therefore, it is necessary to make the people rich first so that it will be easier to rule.
This is not the insight that a housewife should have at all. Even the officials in the court may not have this insight.
Otherwise, there would not have been so many corrupt officials in the Yan Dynasty.
Those who only want to enrich themselves are the main culprits that cause the court to lose its prestige and the people's support.
The emperor looked at her carefully for a few times, put away the careless smile on his face, and stood up without taking his eyes off the memorial: "You are despising her by describing her as a housewife. Her intelligence is beyond me. I admire them all.”
Even ashamed of himself.
Yue'er had mentioned "Great Harmony under Heaven" before. When he asked what "Great Harmony under Heaven" meant, Yue'er answered and said that he saw it from Jiang Aiqing's study.
But later he and Jiang Aiqing had a sideways chat about this matter, and he found that Jiang Aiqing only had a partial understanding of this statement and had no idea what the world was unified.
It can be seen from this that this is not something that exists in Jiang Aiqing's study at all, but Yue'er realized it after reading a lot of books.
It's just that she was afraid that she would be too smart and would make him jealous, so she pretended to be innocent and cute, gradually removing his guard.
He now fully knows Yue'er's true temperament, but he is already deeply entangled in the love web she weaved. Even if he knows that she is capable, he can't love her enough.
"Your Majesty, this can't go on like this!"
The official in the crimson court uniform had a look of fear on his face: "If the mother is strong, the son will be weak, and if the mother is weak, the son will be strong. The stronger the Empress Dowager, the more dependent the Crown Prince will be on her. If this continues, the Jiang family's relatives will become too powerful and will breed ambition. , it’s not good for the country!”
"Xie Aiqing, it's too early to say this."
The emperor smiled: "Jiang Yankun is a smart man. He should know that if he dares to have any evil intentions, I will make the Jiang family disappear in a snap. Yue'er's achievements are beyond his dreams. Now he only has How can you dare to influence my son in a panic?"
He can send the Jiang family to the top because of his love for Yue'er, and he can also knock Jiang into the mud because of his son.
But the Jiang family is Yue'er's mother's family after all, and he doesn't want to touch the Jiang family unless it is absolutely necessary.
If the outside world speculates that Yue'er has fallen out of favor and is disrespectful to her, this is not what he wants.
Just because he knew that the ambitions of Yue'er and the Jiang family were only glory and wealth, rather than supreme power over the imperial power, he allowed Yue'er's intelligence to be used in state affairs, and also allowed Jiang Yankun to do things that would not affect the prince. For the benefit of the family.
Because even if it wasn't Jiang Yankun, there would be someone else.
At least both Yue'er and the Jiang family would make concessions for the benefit of Xiaotuanzi.
Since anyone who indulges is indulgent, why doesn't he indulge his beloved woman?
Bachelor Xie sighed: "Keren's desires never end. Can the Emperor guarantee that the Queen of Heaven will never have the desire to replace her?"
The emperor's wise eyes were shining with stars: "This is something I have to worry about, so Xie Aiqing doesn't need to say more."
This means going all the way to the dark side and not listening to anyone's advice.
"Crunch——"
The door of the royal study room was opened, and as soon as Bachelor Xie came out, several ministers gathered around him: "How is it? What did the emperor say? Do you want to take back the power in the hands of the Queen of Heaven?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course I have to take it back. Your Majesty is not stupid. Do you want to let a woman ride on your head and be the master of the country? This is not conducive to the stability of the court."
Jiang Yankun snorted coldly: "I have never heard of anyone being able to ride on the Emperor's head when the Emperor is here. No matter how powerful the Queen Mother is, it is only given by the Emperor. I have never heard of the Queen Mother being able to go to court. Can you listen to politics behind the curtain?"
As soon as he spoke, all the officials who had taken refuge with the Jiang family started quarreling with those people at the door of the imperial study.
Although they may not all agree with the Queen Mother's taking power, they are interested in the position of His Highness the Crown Prince's advisor and seek opportunities to serve as close advisors to the Crown Prince in the future.
"Bang!"
"Wow!"
The door of the royal study room was hit hard by something, and the sound of breaking porcelain was heard. The ministers who had been shouting at each other just now fell silent.
After reacting, he realized that their quarrel had been heard by the emperor.
The door was opened again, and Wang Dequan shook off the whisk in his hand: "The emperor said that those who just insulted the Queen of Heaven will be fined three months' salary and fifteen slaps. If it happens again, they will not be lenient. .As well as those who spoke freely and affected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince just now, all of them will be dismissed from their posts and investigated after the Xuanjing Division investigates."
There was another wail.
There is no need to test the emperor's attitude now. Anyone who offends the Queen of Heaven and His Royal Highness will have no chance of survival.
