back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 238
After calming down Zhou Zhiruo, who was a little short-tempered, Lu Chengqi finally didn't have a fire in the backyard, and could spend a good night in peace.When we returned from Jingfu Hall to Renming Hall, it was already sunset and all the birds returned to the forest.

The night gradually began to cover the entire Chang'an City, and inside the Dashun Palace, the ever-burning lanterns were also lit by maids and servants.Candles that ordinary people are reluctant to use, but in the palace, it seems that they don't want money, so every lamp post is lit with candles.

Oil lamps certainly burn longer and are more economical.But the black smoke is too thick, and it is generally used by students in bitter cold and ordinary people.As a royal family, how could it be possible to use things that ordinary people use!

Since ancient times, the emperor's family has climbed to this supreme position, isn't it just for this higher-level enjoyment than anything else!

Of course, in Lu Chengqi's view, candles and oil lamps are of the same level, and they are all illuminated by fire. Who is more advanced than whom?When he was just reborn, Lu Chengqi was not used to the night without electric lights.Even reading a book under a candle, I feel that it is not a kind of enjoyment, but a kind of torture.

Now I'm used to it, and I can only read a book for a while.Fortunately, the characters in ancient books were printed relatively large, otherwise, it might hurt the eyes even more.Habitually reading in the Hall of Renming for a while, I felt that my eyelids were going to fight.

No wonder the ancients got up so early, there are really few entertainment items in the evening!As the king of a country, Lu Chengqi couldn't visit brothels and cottages, which made him a little depressed who wanted to see the romantic affairs of the ancients.

Boring can only sleep, go to bed early and get up early to be healthy.Laughing self-deprecatingly, Lu Chengqi asked Zhou Zhiruo to blow out the candles, and the two embraced and slept in their clothes.Tomorrow is the regular morning, so I need to get up earlier.If he didn't sleep well, and he had two dark circles under his eyes, those sharp-eyed Beijing officials would definitely catch him and speculate privately!
The crescent moon and bright stars, in ancient times without pollution, even the stars were extraordinarily bright.It's just that the weather in early July has turned cold.Worried about this year's extremely cold weather, Lu Chengqi fell asleep late.

The night was peaceful, except for the occasional chirping of insects, disturbing one's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, amidst the ringing of the morning bell, Lu Chengqi, wearing a dragon gun, and surrounded by maids of honor, slowly entered the Daqing Palace, and once again opened the court.

Hearing the ministers shouting long live, Lu Chengqi's vanity, which was originally weak, swelled a little.It's not good to be an emperor. Living in flattery, it's easy to lose yourself.

Lu Chengqi, who tried his best to pretend not to be surprised, said calmly: "Do you have something important to say?"

As soon as the words fell, none of the Chinese and military officials in the palace came out.Under the growing prestige of the little emperor, all the ministers wisely chose to speak less.Of course, we can't stop some people who really want to be promoted by the little emperor.

Seeing the supervisory censor of Yushitai, Huangfu came out and said: "Your Majesty, I heard today that some people are making large-scale construction work in the suburbs of Chang'an, and it seems that they are digging a deep pit. What is even more chilling is that these people actually use money , called the young and strong people to work. "Da Shun Law" says that all land is owned by the imperial court, how can these people who steal the country safely use the land of the country? Moreover, these people with ulterior motives are actually in the middle of the busy season. , Gather a large number of young and strong farmers, you can kill with your heart!"

When Lu Chengqi heard it, he was overjoyed.The matter of Chi Dao has long been seen in newspapers. "Dashun Minbao" has reported this incident more than once. It seems that these Yushitai don't care about "Dashun Minbao", a semi-official and semi-private newspaper.

Ever since Lu Chengqi refuted the rumors on "Dashun Minbao", Yushitai probably stopped reading "Dashun Minbao".Even if you look at it, these things related to the suffering of the people must be swept away.Their eyes are fixed on whether the officials and the people have made mistakes, otherwise how can they show their political achievements?
The previous impeachment of officials was a mess.Although I have known for a long time that envoy officials are a job to offend people, I can't wait to get promoted!The impeachment of officials will be mobilized and attacked, and the only thing to do is to monitor the people.

This road is not easy to go. The Supervision Department has already submitted the things they want to supervise to Lu Chengqi in the form of secret reports. Where can it be their turn?Huangfu jumped out today, just thinking that he had caught a great opportunity, maybe the little emperor would look at him with admiration because of this?
Who would have thought that this was the keynote that the little emperor had set a long time ago. The matter of Chidao is related to military, commercial, civil and other purposes. If Dashun is to become stronger, Chidao must be built.

The "report" of the supervisory censor Huangfudan was nothing more than making Lu Chengqi unhappy.Now that the matter has been made public, Lu Chengqi doesn't want to hide it anymore.After Huangfudan finished speaking, he said slowly: "What Huangfuqing said was authorized by me personally, and it was run by the Royal University. This thing is called Chidao. If you don't know it, you can go back and check it out. Historical records. When Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, this road has made great contributions. Previously, Tang Xun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, had played to me. At the beginning of this month, it was connected to the Royal University, Royal Military Academy, Military Supervision, and outside the north gate of Chang'an City. More than thirty miles. If you are drawn by a good horse, you can cover the thirty miles in just a few moments."

Hearing this, the supervisory censor Huangfu Dan felt that the word "Chidao" was very familiar.Think about it carefully, isn't this already written in "Dashun Min Bao"!He put on an oolong himself, his face was hot, and he said cheekily: "Since His Majesty gave permission, I have nothing to say..."

Hearing Huangfudan's shameless words, even Qin Yikang, Minister of the Ministry of War who had never liked to express his opinions, laughed.Intimidated by the majesty of the little emperor, the civil and military officials did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Censor Zhongcheng Li Ran looked at Huangfu Dan who had returned to court indifferently, with a faint smile of disdain on the corner of his mouth.Li Ran has known for a long time that Yushitai has become a thorn in everyone's eyes since the impeachment incident became a rat in the street.Li Ran, who used to have a lot of say in Yushitai, now can't control the officials under him.These imperial envoy officials, seeing that Yushitai had no hope of promotion, each made their own little calculations.Yushitai's power dropped sharply under the centrifugal force.Li Ran really wanted to shake off his official prestige again, and let these imperial envoy officials see his ability.But the opportunity never came, which made Li Ran extremely melancholy, so much so that now he restrained his "righteousness" a lot.

Don't say that Li Ran, who is single-minded, doesn't understand officialdom. This "upright" old man who claims to be a moralist is more sensitive than ordinary officials!In the last impeachment turmoil, didn't he retire like the same, and Huang Xishi, the former minister of the Ministry of Industry, ended up in office?It can be seen that this person's impeachment ability is extraordinary.Not only that, but he also knows how to judge the situation. Now that the momentum is not right, he retracts his fangs and quietly waits for the next wave of attacks.This is the characteristic of a speech officer, if you don't bite someone, it's fine, if you bite someone, you will bite to death!
