After the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the reign name was changed to "Tianren".

In the first year of Tianren, the ministers who had just changed their masters had to carefully search their memories, trying to better understand the former King Xuan and the new emperor today.

As for the former King Xuan, he never liked things like poetry gatherings, and he never showed any talent in poetry.

Some civil servants began to think about it and wanted to find out the depth of the emperor, so that they would know how to benefit themselves later.

Initially, it was manifested in the complexity of the memorial. Even a big thing could be written in three to five thousand words, and it had to quote scriptures. The more obscure the better.

"I helped the Dog Emperor draw circles before. I think if you don't like it, just draw a cross. I don't think it's against the rules." Xue Qingyin smacked her lips.

You may say how deep the minds of these civil servants are, but they are still a little deep. You may say how clever their methods are, but they really don't count.

He Junting responded, his expression calm and without any anger at all.

As long as the ruler's methods are strong enough, it doesn't matter whether it's a cross on the memorial or a cross on their face.

The only difference may be that which one cries louder, first and last.

Soon, the civil servants realized that this road was not feasible.

The next day, the new emperor threw the memorial in front of them, and before he even opened his mouth, they couldn't help but start fighting.

So everyone calmed down, just waiting to see if this person was new to handling government affairs.

After all, King Xuan had never received any education as a prince before.

This thing is not something that can be done just by getting started.

The art of emperors does not just mean that you can suppress the courtiers. You also need to understand the difficulties of people's livelihood, be able to distinguish the abilities of the courtiers, and put the right people in the right positions... There are all kinds of knowledge here.

It cannot be accomplished in a day.

March.

Spring floods triggered floods in Licheng.

Just when everyone thought His Majesty would not know how to deal with it, the matter was resolved quickly.

Among them, one person who made suggestions was particularly eye-catching.

Because this person was once a member of the Xu family's big ship, and he must belong to the Xu family!

The new emperor rewarded him.

The attitude is very clear: those who have meritorious service will be rewarded, and those who are guilty will be punished. There is no conflict between the two.

With such an enlightened attitude, the rest of the people just wished they could all offer good advice to His Majesty.

In private, all the ministers who were close to him discussed it secretly.

"Now, Emperor Liang De behaves differently, but he is just as good at managing people. Not to mention that Li Shizhong and Ning Shilang are accompanying him and becoming solid supporters... I think all these people now just want to take advantage of the new dynasty and make a lot of achievements.

, in order to seek a higher position. This move is really wonderful, it directly took away all the old people in the Lu family."

"Why do you say that?"

"What Lu Hong relied on was just the willingness of the civil servants to obey him in the past. But the new emperor doesn't care who they cheated on in the past. As long as you can make achievements, you will be rewarded. So why rely on Lu Hong anymore?

Tree? Why not turn yourself into a big tree?"

"What, what are you trying to make fun of? It's as if you and my colleagues are from the same background as that Goulan guy."

"Haha, why do you think so highly of yourself? Sometimes I think about it, it's no different from Goulan. A Goulan woman smiles at her benefactor, we smile at the middle and lower sections, and we smile at the lower level. What's the difference? If you and I don't want to smile,

, then I will stand with His Majesty honestly, I may not have talent, but I can have loyalty!"

"Brother Lin is very transparent and has benefited a lot from me!"

I don't know how many ministers became more and more enlightened after discussing in private.

For a time, the political affairs of the DPRK and China were clear and clear.

The Lu family also completely gave up the idea of ​​stuffing any more Lu family daughters into the harem.

And who recommended the man who gave good advice during the flood?

It's exactly Ning Que.

Ning Que declined the invitation from others to have a banquet and wanted to return home.

The colleague couldn't help but said: "The storm has subsided and it is spring. Wouldn't it be nice to enjoy the flowers and drink?"

Ning Que smiled and said, "Something happens, something happens."

Colleagues were puzzled: "You always said this last year..."

The colleague paused and suddenly laughed: "A person like Mr. Ning...couldn't he be hiding a beautiful lady in the mansion, so he is always in a hurry to return to the mansion?"

Ning Que's face darkened: "Brother Yan Meng Lang."

The official surnamed Yan calmed his expression: "I was joking with Mr. Ning, okay, it's my fault. At Mr. Ning's current age, he doesn't have a confidante around him, which is really worrying."

Ning Que frowned. He wanted to say that you are not my parents, so what do you care about?

But the man followed up and said: "Ning Gong has no time to spare today, so let's not talk about it. There will be a banquet another day, and there will be a dancing girl..."

Ning Que's tone was slightly cold: "I advise Brother Yan to proceed with caution."

"Why... this matter of romance since ancient times has become something shameful in Ning Gong's mouth?"

Ning Que said calmly: "Have you forgotten His Majesty's current behavior?"

"how?"

"From the time he founded the palace until today, he only has the current queen beside him."

"Then...so what? When Your Majesty was still King Xuan, he didn't like women. But not everyone in this world can be like Your Majesty."

"Do you know why a father always likes the son who looks like him the most?" Ning Que asked back.

The official surnamed Yan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Get a lesson."

The so-called up and down effect, do what you like.

If the courtiers are willing to imitate His Majesty today, will His Majesty feel closer to them when he looks at them?

After Ning Que said these words, no one invited him to any romantic gatherings after that.

After that, the practice of prostitution among officials in the capital became much more restrained.

No one will ever think of playing as concubines to each other anymore.

Ning Que doesn't really care about these changes in Beijing. What he cares about right now is...

Xu Zhi.

Ever since the bone-steaming disease began, the intimacy between him and Xu Zhi had grown by leaps and bounds.

Now that King Xuan has ascended the throne, Princess Xuan has become the queen as a matter of course, and everything has returned to peace.

Xu Zhi seemed to have forgotten him again...

What to do?

Go directly to propose marriage? Anyway, there is no need to worry about the emperor being suspicious. The emperor has changed.

It’s still a bit too cool...

Ning Que was tossing and turning, but he heard a "pop" in the yard.

Ning Que hurriedly grabbed his coat and rushed out.

It’s Xu Zhi!

Xu Zhi climbed the wall very neatly.

But Ning Que still felt ashamed that he had passed this on to her...

"Are you going to bed?" Xu Zhi saw that he was only wearing his coat and couldn't help but take half a step back.

Ning Que hurriedly said: "I just want to go to sleep, but I haven't slept yet. Madam is looking for me, but what happened?"

Xu Zhi curled her lips: "Is it true that I can only come to you when I have something to do?"

"Of course not!" Ning Que blurted out.

This was a bit of a surprise to Ning Que, because it showed that Xu Zhi was thinking about him when she had nothing to do, just like him.

Xu Zhi walked to the stone bench in the courtyard and sat down.

"Wait a minute, when it's warm and then cold, the stone bench is cold." He said that he went in first and took out the cushion for Xu Zhi.

Ning Que still thinks in his mind that if we talk about this, he is still far behind His Majesty today.

You need to study more in the future.

After Xu Zhi sat down in this room, her face looked much calmer. She said: "Tomorrow, Your Majesty will secretly execute Xue Chengdong."

After all, he was the one who single-handedly brought He Songning out.

How could the new emperor keep him?

"He asked someone to send a message, saying that he wanted to see me before he died." Xu Zhi said with a complex expression.

When Ning Que heard this, he couldn't decide what Xu Zhi was thinking.

Do you want to see me? Or don’t you want to see me?

But Xu Zhi suddenly said: "How about you go with me?"

"I?"

"You don't want to?"

"No, no, I am willing, very willing. But... has Madam thought about it?" When Ning Que said this, his heart started to beat wildly.

what does that mean.

This means so many things!

Xu Zhi glared at him and said angrily: "I asked you if you want to go, just answer it. Why are you talking so much? It's not as refreshing as a woman."
