Xiao Yuan always likes to deal with facts and does not like to make lies, especially when discussing politics in the court.
Seeing that he had stepped off the throne, all the ministers had no choice but to bend down and cup their hands: "Your Majesty -"
After the discussion, the ministers came out of the main hall. On the magnificent hundred steps, there were officials walking together in twos and threes.
At this time, everyone would discuss some upward matters. Dong Shu shook his head and said: "Your Majesty's move is unexpected."
"It is indeed unexpected, but this also shows that your Majesty is different from those previous monarchs." Wang Su continued: "I have read a lot of books. To be honest, this kind of erasure of certain words is really messy. Meaning. Of course, your majesty’s dignity cannot be blasphemed. I think your majesty’s original intention is not to abolish this ritual, but to correct it.”
"I agree with what Mr. Wang said." Jia You said: "Just like King Cai back then, because his mother's zodiac sign was dog, he ordered the people in the territory to worship dogs when they saw them. This is such a ridiculous thing. And so on. Because of bad habits."
"That's why His Majesty conceals names but not words, and conceals both names but not single words. This not only clarifies the emperor's dignity, but also does not affect people's life with words."
Then he added: "Not to mention that His Majesty's literary, Taoist and military strategies are far superior to those of previous monarchs. It is this enlightenment that makes it an honor for us ministers to assist such a monarch."
"Master Jia is right."
Several people around him couldn't help but nod in agreement.
In the minds of all Qin officials, who is Xiao Yuan? He is a hero and a wise king who can conquer the world, and he is the only one who has ever existed.
Chen Huaiming, who happened to be with Ji Ping, couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Master Ji, your methods of asking for money are becoming more and more sophisticated. According to the regulations, the imperial court allocates funds, so it should be Please inform me, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance."
"Haha." Ji Ping laughed dryly, cupped his hands and said, "Forgive me, Mr. Chen, but this is an urgent matter. I have no choice but to go to court to report."
"Hmph, your Ordnance Department spends money too quickly. Who can stand this?" Chen Huaiming complained grumbled: "Master Ji, don't rely on His Majesty's trust and spend money indiscriminately. All money from the national treasury should be spent wisely." ."
"Of course, Mr. Chen can rest assured about this." Ji Ping still smiled apologetically. Although His Majesty has approved the allocation, he still has to get the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The two of them walked and chatted, but Chen Huaiming said nothing more after he complained.
After Dong Shu returned to his official office, he immediately summoned the core officials of Zhangtai Pavilion to explain today's court affairs and the emperor's intentions.
"Ah?" After hearing this, an official was quite surprised and subconsciously blurted out: "In that case, what about the word "Lu"?
"Shut up!" Dong Shu interrupted angrily and yelled: "You are so brave! Do you want to speak out the Queen's name?"
"No, no, no, how dare I be so rebellious!" The official turned pale with fright and knelt down instantly.
Dong Shu said: "Of course the empress is just like your majesty in correcting taboos and not tabooing single words. Also, in the past, some taboos and typos in books from various countries had to be checked and corrected. All the talented people from the literary academy were summoned to be rigorous in all literature."
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately," the official responded quickly.
If these three words "Lu Yunyan" were completely taboo, wouldn't it mean: Ah, Baiyun. Human fireworks. I can't write these anymore.
What nonsense.
So this matter needs to be corrected.
There is nothing wrong with avoiding the king to show respect, but it should not be too ridiculous.
Xiao Yuan left this matter to Zhangtai Pavilion. After Dong Shu came back, he didn't delay too much and immediately ordered things to start.
The next day, a street in Chang'an.
Business here is already booming, but now that the New Year is approaching, people will go to the streets to shop more or less these days, and the flow of people is much larger than usual.
"Noodles, freshly baked noodles~~~"
"Fish, fresh fish, just caught from the river, only costs two cents a pound, everyone come and see~~~"
A farmer placed a wooden basin near a shop, filled with crucian carp and other fresh aquatic products.
However, he was soon chased away by the shop owner: "Let's go, sell it somewhere else. If you leave it in front of my door, I won't be able to do business anymore."
"Oh, shopkeeper, just stay here for a while. It'll be fine for a while. It's just for your convenience."
As far as the eye can see, pedestrians are coming and going, merchants are welcoming customers, and all kinds of noise create a lively scene.
Liu Changqing was also on this street. He had a rest today and was dragged out by his wife to buy some new year's goods.
His wife, who was about the same age as him, was negotiating prices in front of a butcher shop with her maid.
"Madam, these are all good sheep transported from the grassland. The freshly slaughtered mutton is absolutely fresh. It will be very comfortable to have a bowl of sheep soup like this to warm up in winter."
The store owner kept talking, but Liu Changqing next to him was a little reluctant to part with it. He felt it was too expensive, so he couldn't help but said: "Forget it, ma'am, let's just buy some pork."
He was a second-grade minister, and his poor appearance made his wife annoyed for a while, and she couldn't help but curse: "You damn old man, when you buy tea for yourself, you are willing to pay so much! Now I have to cut two kilograms of mutton at home, which makes me feel bad!" Xiaohong, buy it! Cut ten pounds!"
The maid secretly glanced at Liu Changqing's face, then at Madam, and hurriedly replied in a low voice: "Yes, Madam."
He said and took out his money bag.
Liu Changqing didn't dare to talk back. His wife was his wife. They had been together when he was young and in poverty. Liu Changqing was used to nagging her all his life.
At this moment, there were sudden bursts of screams from the front, accompanied by scattered debris.
A brown horse rushed into the street without slowing down at all. Pedestrians screamed and ran, causing chaos in the street ahead.
Immediately there was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a bright face. Seeing this situation, not only did he not stop, but he shook the reins, laughed loudly, and continued to ride in the city.
He didn't care about the impact on the market, he acted recklessly, the horse was very fast, some people fell to the ground because of avoidance, some people's New Year's goods were bumped and flew away, some vendors' goods were knocked over, and some women were hurriedly carried across the street. However, due to failure to dodge, both mother and child fell down, and the child's forehead also hit the cargo, causing bleeding and coma.
The cries of women, the curses of people, overturned goods, and scattered things turned the streets that were bustling just now into a mess.
The young man was dressed in rich clothes and looked like a playboy at first glance. He was riding a horse for fun and quickly rushed to the vicinity of Liu Changqing, but the fallen goods on the street blocked his way.
"Xu~~~"
The man had no choice but to rein in the reins.
At the same time, Liu Changqing stepped forward quickly, pointed at the rich boy on the horse, and shouted angrily: "Get off the horse!" (End of Chapter)
