In Liang Meng Palace.

"Empress Dowager, Zheng Baiying is a rare shipping talent. Can you, can you let him enter the University of Metallurgical Engineering?" Liu Xingzhu said.

Hearing Liu Xingzhu's words, Liang Meng thought in his heart that Zheng Boying turned out to be a rare shipbuilding talent.

There should be no mistake that Liu Xingzhu traveled from four hundred years in the future.

This is really a no-brainer.

Liang Meng nodded.

Liu Xingzhu was very excited.

Liang Meng was also very excited inside.

"Ship talent, ship talent, come to my bowl."

After Liu Xingzhu left.

Liang Meng felt that this palace was too boring, with no entertainment at all. Liang Meng felt like he was going to grow weed out of boredom.

"Is there anything you can do to kill time?"

"gourmet food?"

Liang Meng shook his head and looked at his fat figure.

“For the sake of health, good food is a pass.”

"The game?"

Liang Meng shook his head.

"It's no fun playing by yourself."

"I have a storybook."

"Very feasible."

Liang Meng then began to order Hongyu to collect story books.

"Hongyu, collect some story books for the Ai family."

"Talkbook? The Queen Mother is bored."

Liang Meng nodded.

"The Queen Mother, why don't you chat with the Queen Mother for a while?"

Liang Meng shook his head.

"Wait a minute, isn't the emperor's concubine also boring?"

Ruby nodded.

"You can play mahjong and poker." Liang dreamed.

Liang Meng began to give orders to Hongyu.

……

Liang Meng held the mahjong made of jade and said in his heart, this is really the most expensive mahjong in the world.

Liang Meng smiled proudly.

"Hongyu, please go and invite the queen, Chu Youxun, and Jing Huan to come, and the Aijia will play mahjong with them."

Liang Meng held the mahjong and smiled at Hongyu.

……

Mr. Jia’s house.

Mrs. Jia and other ladies sat at the table.

A lady plays a card.

"Don't move." Mrs. Jia said.

Then turn over your cards.

"I won." Mrs. Jia said.

"Mrs. Jia is really amazing."

Mrs. Jia smiled happily when she heard the compliment.

When officials go to court.

"Master Jia, let's go play mahjong."

"Okay, okay, let's go." Master Jia said.

The officials left in twos and threes.

Liang Meng did not expect that mahjong would be so fascinating, and all the concubines in the palace would get together to play mahjong from time to time.

The popularity of playing mahjong in the palace made mahjong the most fashionable thing. It also became popular in the homes of adults, and eventually swept the entire imperial city. Mahjong is still sweeping the entire Daikin.

In Liang Meng Palace.

Liang Meng sat at the mahjong table.

Playing mahjong with Jing Huan and others as usual.

"The Queen Mother is really amazing at coming up with something as fun as mahjong."

"Yes, who in the entire imperial city doesn't play mahjong now."

"A few days ago, I heard that Mr. Zhang from the Ministry of Revenue was severely scolded by the emperor for playing mahjong and mistaking the taxation of grain."

Liang Meng thought in his heart.

What? I made a mistake while playing mahjong.

Who could have imagined that this would lead to such a result.

If all the officials failed in their duties because of playing mahjong, wouldn't Daikin be doomed?

Daikin is finally getting better and better, and it will be really funny if it collapses because of Mahjong.

Liang Meng imagined that later historians would talk about the demise of the Jin Dynasty and say: "The Dajin Dynasty was the only dynasty that destroyed the country because of the playfulness of the ruling class."

Liang Meng thought this was really funny just by imagining it.

Jing Huan and others saw that the Queen Mother's face suddenly became heavy when she heard about the official's mistake, and everyone couldn't help but look at the Queen Mother nervously.

"What happened to my mother?"

Liang Meng came back from his imagination.

Then he said seriously: "You should go back to the palace today, and don't play mahjong anymore.

Hongyu put away the mahjong and sent it to be smashed. From today on, mahjong is not allowed in the palace. If anyone is found playing mahjong, he will be punished. "

Everyone was surprised why the Queen Mother would say this.

But seeing the Queen Mother's serious look, no one asked but agreed.

Then he resigned and left.

In the emperor's palace.

Liang Meng sat and talked with the emperor.

"It's all the Ai family's fault. The officials were derelict in their duties because of the Ai family's playfulness." Liang Meng sincerely admitted his mistake to the emperor.

"Mother, how can I blame you at this time?" the emperor said.

"No, officials' failures in their duties can be big or small. If we don't control it, there will be more and more cases of officials' failures in their duties.

Officials are a very important part of the smooth operation of Daikin. Once they all fail to perform their duties, Daikin will be in danger.

The Ai family has already issued an order in the harem. If anyone is playing mahjong, the Ai family will not be lenient. "Liang Mengdao.

The emperor nodded in agreement.

"What the Queen Mother said makes sense. I will now order a ban on mahjong. Anyone who violates this rule will be put in prison," the emperor said.

Liang Meng shook his head and said: "It's not about going to prison but to be executed."

"Behead and make a decision."

"Yes, it's a slaying decision."

Liang Meng decided to use heavy penalties to put an end to mahjong.

"You must not appear in Daikin if you are greedy for fun and harming your country."

"The emperor can spread mahjong to Huoyao, Huantu, Chaomu, Tushui and other countries."

The emperor's eyes became bright and he nodded in agreement.

"Reducing the strength of other countries will not do any harm to Daikin in any case." Liang dreamed.

……

Since mahjong was banned, Liang Meng could only read story books.

The script in Liang Meng's hands tells the story of a poor scholar and an official lady eloping together.

"Oh my god, what kind of story is this! If you tell a story like this to our ladies, wouldn't it just be about harming our ladies?" Liang dreamed.

"Who wrote this Hongyu? If anyone writes such a script, I will kill the person who writes such a script."

"Yes." Hongyu said.

Then Liang Meng picked up another storybook and started reading. This was a story about a brothel girl who defended her family and country. This was a good one.

"My dear, it's getting dark. Let's go to bed first. I'll watch it tomorrow."

Liang Meng shook his head.

"Hongyu, help Aijia light a few more candles. Aijia will stay up late today and read."

Liang Meng felt like he was back when he was reading a novel.

No one can stop me from reading the storybook.

Liang Meng read it without sleep or food.

Hongyu had no choice but to let the Queen Mother read it without eating or sleeping.

Early the next morning.

Hongyu came to help Liang Meng wash up.

As soon as he walked into the house, he saw that the Queen Mother had dark circles under her eyes and looked at the storybook with blurred eyes.

"Isn't this too touching?"

Liang Meng shed tears and wiped them with her hands.

He said while wiping his tears and continued to read.

Hongyu had never seen the Queen Mother look like this before, and she didn't know what to do.

"Empress Dowager, are you okay?"

"It's okay, even this writing is too touching."

"Hongyu, Aijia, wash your face."

Liang Meng finished wiping his face.

He said to Hongyu: "This book, this book, and this book are all banned."

Hongyu couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that the book the Queen Mother had just read was going to be banned. She really couldn't understand what the Queen Mother was thinking.

Liang dreamed that books that undermined human unity would need to be banned.

In this agricultural society, people cannot survive. It is too late to unite, but there are so many books that undermine unity.

It seems that the ideological level still needs to be carefully grasped.

A vigorous movement to ban books arose in Daikin.

"The book is too small for such a big gold."

Liang Meng was depressed to find that his reading speed was far faster than the speed of Daikin's creator.

"Sad!" Liang Meng thought depressedly.

"Yes." Liang Meng patted his forehead. I can write it myself.

So Liang Meng began a vigorous book writing career.

In Liang Meng Palace.

Liang Meng is creating seriously.

"The eunuch in charge of the Emperor, Yuan Gao, is here." "Yuan Gao? Let him in." Liang Meng was puzzled as to why Yuan Gao came to his palace.

Liang Meng looked at Yuan Gao who walked in. The Yuan Gao now was different from the Yuan Gao Liang Meng had seen before. His gorgeous clothes and shrewd eyes showed that he was different.

"Yuan Gao has met the Queen Mother."

"Get up, Yuan Gao, why did you come to the Aijia Palace today?"

"The Queen Mother, Yuan Gao heard that the Queen Mother was bored in the palace all day long, so Yuan Gao came here to relieve the Queen Mother's worries."

"Relieving the sorrows of the Ai family? How to relieve the sorrows of the Ai family?"

"Yuan Gao heard that the empress likes reading scripts. This is the script that Yuan Gao collected. Please accept it."

Looking at the scripts held by the two young eunuchs beside Yuan Gao.

Liang Meng couldn't help but stood up and walked in to browse.

The storybooks sent by Yuan Gao were of many different types, some of which Liang Meng had never read before.

Liang Meng thought in her mind that Yuan Gao was so powerful that he found so many scripts.

"Yuan Gao, you must have taken a lot of trouble to find these words."

"It is Yuan Gao's honor to be able to win the Empress Dowager's smile. How can Yuan Gao bother?"

"Red jade." Liang Meng gestured to ruby ​​to reward Yuan Gao.

"Thank you, Queen Mother, Yuan Gao retires."

Liang Meng looked at Yuan Gao's leaving figure and wondered why Yuan Gao had become so smooth.

"Empress Yuan Gao has just sent the Queen's favorite daisies to her in recent days."

Liang Meng nodded, no longer thinking about Yuan Gao, but taking the storybook and reading it.

In the emperor's palace.

Yuan Gao stood outside the house and waited respectfully.

I saw a man in armor striding towards Yuan Gao in the distance.

Yuan Gao watched the man and hurriedly stepped forward.

"Yuan Gao has met General Liang and congratulates the general on his return to the court."

"Back in court, I just went to the border for a walk. I have nothing to congratulate."

"Without General Liang holding the line at the border, how could Huo Yao retreat despite the difficulties?"

"This general is willing to hear what you have to say."

"Thank you, General Liang, for your compliments."

"The Emperor is already waiting for me, General, inside the house?"

"Replying to General Liang, the emperor is indeed waiting for the general in the house."

"General Liang, can you change your armor and take off your saber?"

"What solution? Isn't the Emperor waiting for me, General?"

With that said, General Liang was about to move forward.

"General Liang, Yuan Gao is brave enough to ask General Liang to go change his clothes. General Liang is here."

"You have so many rules as a eunuch."

"It has always been a rule in the palace that officials cannot wear armor or swords to meet the emperor without the emperor's consent. General Liang, don't embarrass Yuan Gao." Yuan Gao said with a flattering smile.

"My general has made great achievements, how can I be compared with ordinary officials?"

"General Liang, please don't embarrass Yuan Gao." Yuan Gao said with a flattering smile.

General Liang snorted disdainfully.

Then he followed Yuan Gao to change his clothes.

Then go to see the emperor.

"I will finally see the Emperor."

"General Liang, please get up quickly. I have been waiting for General Liang for a long time."

"The general will be in panic."

"General Liang, please rise."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

General Liang stood up and sat in the seat next to him.

"Pass the meal." Yuan Gao shouted.

Soon the meal was placed in front of General Liang.

Yuan Gao prepared dishes for the emperor.

The emperor picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish. It was very delicious.

"How about General Liang giving it a try?"

General Liang, who was supposed to stand up and reply to the emperor, did not stand up and reply.

Instead, he sat down and said, "Yes."

Then General Liang picked up his chopsticks and tasted the dish the emperor mentioned.

General Liang, who should have stood up to reply, did not stand up.

"Your Majesty, this dish is indeed delicious."

The emperor saw it in his eyes, and Yuan Gao saw it in his eyes, which meant a lot.

"General Liang, eat more if you like." The emperor said as usual.

"General, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

After lunch.

"General Liang must have not seen Concubine Shu for a long time, so he went to catch up with Concubine Shu."

"General, thank you very much, Your Majesty."

General Liang left the palace.

The emperor looked at the direction General Liang was leaving.

Yuan Gao looked at the emperor's face and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for talking too much. This General Liang is a little disrespectful."

The emperor looked at Yuan Gao coldly.

Yuan Gao looked at the emperor's expression.

"Your Majesty, forgive me. Your Majesty, forgive me. I only think about the Emperor. I shouldn't talk too much."

"Get up, tell me what happened outside the palace?"

Yuan Gao stood up timidly, and then talked about his persuasion to General Liang.

"This slave is very nice to persuade General Liang to take off his armor and take off his saber."

Yuan Gao watched the emperor's expression and continued to elaborate on the matter.

He showed a sinister expression at the moment when the emperor didn't notice.

……

"Eunuch? I haven't heard this word for a long time.

Yuan Gao always found new ways to give Liang Meng novelties to relieve Liang Meng's boredom.

cabinet.

Liu Ruhui and Zhang Zheng were appointed to the cabinet.

"Brother Zhang, the cabinet is an institution that watches memorials. Do you think we have a bright official career in this cabinet?

From what I see below, the Sixth Ministry can still hold real power, or like others, who are transferred out of the imperial city and serve as officials for a few years before being transferred back. These two paths are the right way. "Liu Ruhui was very dissatisfied with his entry into the cabinet.

"Brother Liu, that's wrong. I think the cabinet is very good and quite leisurely." Zhang Zheng said as if he was out of touch with the world.

"Brother Zhang, how can you think like this?" Liu Ruhui said very disappointed.

Zhang Zheng looked at Liu Ruhui's disappointed look.

There was imperceptible joy on his face.

Liu Mansion.

Liu Ruhui told Lord Liu about today's conversation with Zhang Zheng.

Master Liu also looked disappointed.

"What's the future if I stay in the cabinet? Doesn't the emperor have the final say in everything? I still have to find a way to transfer to the sixth department." Master Liu said.

"Father, who is Zhang Zheng?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"I didn't expect that despite his knowledge, he really has no ambition to be an official. If he wants to stay in the cabinet alone, he should stay in the cabinet." Master Liu said.

"What about Liu Xingzhu's marriage?" Liu Ruhui asked.

"I'm going to find another one." Master Liu said.

"Our Liu family now wants to form an alliance with someone with real power. How can Zhang Zheng, who calmly stays in the cabinet and does some idle errands, benefit our Liu family?" Master Liu asked.

"My father is absolutely right," Liu Ruhui said.

"There are six people in the cabinet, and their job is to give advice to the emperor, so everything is not a matter of a word from the emperor.

The emperor established six people because he wanted the six people not to be unified. If the cabinet was not unified, what future would there be? Master Liu said again.

"My father is absolutely right," Liu Ruhui said.

"Ruhui, my father has found a young lady for you. She is the daughter of the Minister. When the time comes, we will be operating and operating, and we will definitely be able to get out of the cabinet. If you work for a few years, the position of the Minister will be yours," Liu Daren said. .

Liu Ruhui also nodded.

above the hall.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. My father is dead. I beg your Majesty to allow me Ding You." said the cabinet minister Zhang.

The emperor thought.

All the officials were very surprised, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.

"Master Zhang's father, wasn't he in good health? Why did he die at this time?"

"Life and death are determined by fate. Mr. Zhang's father is dead, so why not?"

Zhang Zheng watched Mr. Zhang deep in thought.

Mr. Zhang is the only one in the cabinet who can compete with Mr. Jia. Now Ding You, isn't it true that the cabinet belongs to Mr. Jia's family?

Or maybe the reason why Mr. Zhang meets Ding You is Master Jia’s work.

Zhang Zheng's thoughts drifted away and fell into memories.

Zhang Zheng realized it when he learned about the collapse of the Zheng family and the Liu family's plan.

It's time for me to separate from the Liu family. There is no need to continue to be tied to the Liu family. The Liu family is rising and has no backing. What is the use of following the Liu family that has just started? I am no longer the Zhang Zheng who had nothing before. The Liu family can no longer satisfy me. .

As for how to leave the Liu family's ship smoothly, do not offend the Liu family and find a new springboard.

Zhang Zheng and Liu Ruhui came to the cabinet at the same time. As the two got along, Zhang Zheng gradually learned about the Liu family's attitude towards the cabinet.

Is it possible to take advantage of this and leave the Liu family's ship?

If he shows that he has a completely different attitude towards the cabinet, he may be able to jump ship smoothly.

Zhang Zheng made up his mind.

In Zhang Zheng's opinion.

The cabinet replaces the prime minister's position.

The difference between the cabinet and the prime minister is that the cabinet consists of several people, while the prime minister is one person.

A cabinet can be formed by disintegrating one person into several people, but does it mean that one can become a prime minister by turning several people into one person?

That's not what it means to become prime minister.

You can be one person above ten thousand people.

Achieve what you want to do by having the power.

Even though the journey may have been rough.
