It wasn't until Tao Niang fell asleep that Zhao Xi finally completed this system.
Architectural design planning, business operation mode, urban management norms, and even event schedule rules, etc. This is a system that has been continuously supplemented and improved by several generations. Although Zhao Xi copied it entirely, it was also very brain-consuming.
At the moment of finishing his manuscript, Zhao Xi fell asleep instantly, actually earlier than his usual bedtime... His delicate brain capacity couldn't withstand such exhaustion.
Empress Cao was heartbroken at first, but as she flipped through the pages of Xi'er's writings, she was thoroughly shocked.
She is not an inexperienced person, whether it's her birth or her status after marriage, she has enough management skills. But what Xi'er wrote, this is no longer a simple play, it's almost like the idea and planning of a new city.
Empress Cao suddenly felt a little reluctant, unwilling to hand over Xier's achievements like this. She even had the heart to disturb the officials and bother the courtiers, letting them all see Xier's abilities.
But it's not possible! Xier's work is indeed a huge system, but from start to finish, it's all about playing and having fun.
How this matter started, the empress is aware of it, and the entire imperial court has lost face. If at this time, Xier's draft is presented to the imperial court... I fear that Xier's hard-won reputation will be ruined in an instant... The first time writing the Cuju rules, it was still possible to use the excuse of not being able to bear seeing fellow clansmen fight, but if one continues to devote oneself to this, then it is just indulging in trivial matters and losing one's sense of purpose.
Zhao Xijin went to school, and his brain felt like there was something he hadn't said clearly the day before. But early in the morning, he saw that what he had written was gone, and guessed that his mother must have taken it away, so he didn't think about it anymore.
For him, this is not a big deal, just an aside, purely for the sake of that mother who has always supported me and truly regards me as her own.
It's said that Zhao Xi really didn't understand, but he actually got close to his mother.
Empress Cao spent her days holding that stack of papers, being extremely careful, afraid of tearing them.
From time to time, she would glance in the direction of the main hall, hoping that the official would come over during his break today, so she could talk to him about Xi'er... She also knew this was a luxury.
It's not that the official family is neglecting Ciming Palace, with Xier here, the official family still comes and goes to Ciming Palace very frequently. It's just that the official family has probably been worried sick again recently.
Fu Shanggong had the heart of Yi Huo, but Empress Cao did not believe it. Coincidentally, there was solid evidence, and it was a handwritten letter from Shi Zhonggui, a staunch supporter of the new policy...
It happened suddenly and suspiciously, but now, even if the authorities do not pursue it, the imperial court will not let it go, and Mr. Fu will find it difficult to continue sitting in the temple hall.
Moreover, with the thoughts of those in power... Alas! It's likely that another storm is brewing in the imperial court.
Empress Cao had been expecting Zhao Zhen to return, but he never did, so there was no way for her to discuss the matter of Xi'er with him.
Zhao Zhen didn't care about that. He was half-believing and half-doubting about the affair of Fu Bi's journey to Yihuo. He knew he wasn't a great emperor with grand strategies, but only someone who could guard the family business left by his ancestors without losing it.
Ke Ruo said that Fu Yi was going to do the same thing as Yihuo, but he still didn't quite believe it. He knew a bit about Fu Yan's temperament, and besides, since Fu Yi became the prime minister, he had never been at odds with himself, so he wouldn't do such a rebellious thing.
It would be another story if the letter was written by Shi Jie and Shi Shou Dao.
The country's current situation is due to what, Zhao Zhen is clear. Fu Yue has no intention of being like Yi and Huo, fearing that he will be pushed by the situation... This is what Zhao Zhen worries about, is concerned about.
Let's see! When Zhao Zhen encounters something that cannot be determined, he always wants to drag it out. After a long time, it may become clear.
Unfortunately, the imperial court did not give him a chance to drag on.
First, the officials began to impeach, and then Fu Ye was about to request to go out... At that moment, Zhao Zhen really wanted to readily agree with Fu Ye, but he still endured it and went through the whole process.
After several attempts to persuade him to stay, they had exhausted all avenues of loyalty and duty between ruler and minister. Today, he finally let Fu Yue off.
Zhao Zhen's heart did not feel any lighter, but instead became even more annoyed... It was all because of this new policy.
Originally, because of that wolf-like Northwest warlord's rebellion and the subsequent collapse of the imperial court, Zhao Zhen also wanted to reform and revive the dynasty. But unexpectedly, it turned out to be so troublesome.
Now... now, it's just that the common people on the border like money and goods, so giving them some is fine...
What a mess this imperial court is, when will it ever end?
"Big companion, when will you be done?"
"Returning to the official residence, the hour of You has already passed, and the yamen has been dismissed for a long time. Should we move to the Ciming Palace?"
Chen Lin tended to let Guan Jia return to Cimin Palace, where not only was there a virtuous empress, but also a demonic O King.
At present, the situation in the imperial court is such that if one were to listen to the teachings of Ci Ming Palace, perhaps there would be some room for improvement.
"Whatever! How annoying, don't bother Sheng Jun and Xier anymore."
Men always have to bear some responsibilities.
"Zhang's wife is pregnant again, I should go visit her."
Lao Chen Lin reluctantly bid farewell to the officials and set off for Lanping Palace.
Zhao Xi returned from school and saw his mother sitting alone, looking like she was in a daze, with a hint of worry on her face.
"Mother, is there anything wrong with the child's writing? If this has caused you distress, it can be discarded. Don't let this trivial matter disturb your mood, it's not worth it."
It's really not worth it, after all, it's just a matter of money. Let alone some livelihoods, even if there's nothing at all, just relying on this identity is enough, and there's no need to ruin the mood over such trivial matters.
"Xier, you've done well, the empress wants to go to the imperial court..."
The imperial court? It's probably that the new policy is going to be stopped, and the officials will have to go out again. This is just the first one, and I'm afraid all of them will have to go out afterwards.
Zhao Xi didn't intervene in this matter, he wasn't capable of getting involved and also didn't want to get involved.
He carefully studied the so-called Ten Articles of the New Deal, which can be described as sharp as a knife, with every sentence revealing blood and every article piercing to the bone marrow.
Doesn't Emperor Taizu of Song think that his officials are using their utmost efforts and loyalty? Doesn't he think that the great Song dynasty has such dedicated and selfless ministers? Even Zhao Xie felt a sense of nostalgia, thinking that his father had such good subordinates.
Well, what's the problem? The so-called drawbacks are the loopholes that appear when they are fully utilized by others. Since someone has taken advantage of them, there must be beneficiaries... This is what needs to be changed.
This is not about scraping poison off one's bones for a single person, but rather facing a specific stratum.
Are you guys ready? Is Father ready? This is really troublesome.
Scholars still have some bookish air and are not purely politicians. At least, the current leaders of the Politburo are not all politicians.
So Zhao Xi does not think highly of the new policy, he thinks it is too hasty, too urgent and also too obvious and violent.
Boiling a frog in warm water is the most appropriate way to reform.
Dad... has something to worry about, and Mom doesn't need to follow along with these rotten things.
"Mother, I had a bit of a loss last night, it's related to the military camp, if Uncle has any intention, trying to intervene would also be a good way."
Young lady, let's talk about making money instead. The imperial court... you shouldn't get involved, and I won't get involved for the time being either. Just watch for now.
Empress Cao really wanted to hear Xi'er talk about the imperial court, and every time Xi'er's perspective and entry point were very novel. Unfortunately, this child was too well-behaved and spoke evasively again.
