Chapter 120 Collusion

Shen Sancai, a treacherous thief who stole the country, had done countless things to the detriment of Emperor Zhaode!

Why do these people need to be taught when they do bad things?

Shen Shiqing was not annoyed by Zhao Surui's eccentric attitude, but instead smiled more genuinely.

"Your Majesty is right. Some of the things I do come from people's desires and do not need anyone's guidance. However, Your Majesty is not someone else. You are a king and a man. Although I may not agree with what Your Majesty does, it can serve as a mirror for me. , he can naturally be called a good teacher and helpful friend."

Zhao Surui looked at Shen Shiqing, and the next moment, he gritted his teeth and sneered:

"A mirror for you? Shen Sanbai, if I remember correctly, you said that you used your Aunt Liu as a mirror, and Achi and you also said similar things. If you listen to Aunt Liu, then She will become a miserable woman who hypocritically seeks fame. If you listen to Achi, you will become a noble lady with a sweet face and a bitter heart. Shen Sanfei, I am a little curious, what will you become if you listen to me? "

After saying that, he picked up a small piece of duck leg, tore off the oily and fragrant meat in two bites, and even broke the bones in the third bite.

"Your Majesty is joking." Shen Shiqing picked up a piece of winter bamboo shoots and put it in the bowl in front of her. She lowered her eyes slightly and said, "If I had listened to your Majesty, I would have changed back a long time ago. How could your Majesty behave like a person with a weak body and a bad temper?" Damn it, a stupid and incompetent woman with a stupid brain is sitting here eating together? Of course she won't be my mentor."

ha!

For some reason, Zhao Surui felt that the anger he had vented in the morning was boiling in his heart again, making him feel uncomfortable.

"It's so rare that you, Shen Sanfei, have stayed in my body for so long and still remember your true colors!"

"Your Majesty also remembers who he is in my body. Naturally, I dare not forget him for a moment."

In addition to a dish of roasted duck and a dish of fried winter bamboo shoots, Shen Shiqing ordered a dish of pickled fish, steamed meat and a dish of mixed cucumbers.

Although it is the cold winter season now, wealthy families still have heated kang greenhouses to grow fresh vegetables. Ordinary people can occasionally buy them at the market, but they are expensive. Today they came by chance, and the store owner happened to have three kilograms of cucumbers in the kitchen. Shen Shiqing looked better. The money spent on this dish is enough to order two more meat dishes.

After taking a bite of cucumber, Shen Shiqing raised her head and looked at "His Majesty the Emperor" who was glaring at her angrily.

Staring at this traitor who had taken over his skin, Zhao Surui really felt like he was going to be angry to death:

"Shen Sanfei, if you invite me to dinner, why don't you stop being angry with me? I vented your anger on your aunt today! Do you dare to say that what I said was not what you wanted to say? What I did was not what you wanted. made?"

"Your Majesty, what I'm telling you is the truth. Where does the strange yin and yang come from? Your Majesty, please eat more cucumbers and don't let your anger ruin your liver and spleen."

With that said, Shen Shiqing picked up a few pieces of cucumber and put them in his bowl, then pushed the remaining cucumbers in front of Zhao Surui.

The table the two of them were sitting on was not big, so with every push and move, Zhao Surui watched helplessly as the plump duck moved further away from him.

"Crack." He bit off another duck bone.

Seeing others sulking in front of their own face, Shen Shiqing shook her head and laughed:

"Your Majesty, you are really a bit arrogant. This is my nature. I sincerely praise you for what you did today. I really don't mean to be shady."

Zhao Surui raised an eyebrow and looked at her suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, it's rare for me to leave the palace. Since I came to see you, I naturally have something to say, so why would I settle for a verbal quarrel?"

Shen Shiqing's face was very sincere, even her smile had a certain look.

Zhao Surui let out a "hum", and when he saw her eyes lowered and smiling, the fire in his heart gradually dissipated.

"Shen Sanfei, now things are going as you wanted. Chu Jiyuan is a big helper in the liquidation of Taipu Temple. With his temperament, he will handle the matter properly even if he dies. As for those female officials, as long as It’s still safe if you don’t let them take away the jobs of the civil servants from the previous dynasty.”

Shen Shiqing picked up a chopstick and ate the duck meat, and said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I'm not safe."

Zhao Surui: "..."

"While Your Majesty is in prison, I have issued an order to the Ministry of Rites to select a thousand female officials after next spring."

Zhao Surui looked at Shen Shiqing, who was still talking slowly there, and took a deep breath slowly.

"Why didn't you tell me about this yesterday?"

Shen Shiqing smiled.

What she needs today is a "Shen Shiqing" who can empathize with Yao Dujuan and can uncover the secrets in Chu Yuanjin and Mi Xinlan's hearts. How can she tell Zhao Surui anything else and make him wary?

"A thousand female officials." Chewing these words, Zhao Surui picked up a piece of fried winter bamboo shoots and put it in his mouth.

"Even if you have so many female officials, what do you plan to do with them? There are tens of thousands of eunuchs in the palace, and only a thousand can read and write to take care of things... After all, you still want to send the female officials to the former court. .”

"Yes." Shen Shiqing admitted calmly.

Letting female officials walk to Wuying Hall and Fengtian Gate is just the beginning for her. If possible, what she really hopes is that one day men and women will be able to study together. But if this step is to be achieved, to be fair, Shen Shiqing doesn't even know Did the Great Yong Dynasty still exist at that time?

So, she worked hard to do what she could do at the moment.

"In the previous dynasty, where could female officials be placed?" Zhao Surui ate another piece of cucumber.

Shen Shiqing said: "The Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Holding the cucumber in his mouth, Zhao Surui turned to look at her again.

But he saw Shen Shiqing smiling at himself: "Your Majesty, those censors who are just sitting on the table, the officials who form a party, and the admonishers of the six disciplines who share the same party and oppose different people, if one day they just watch their positions being ignored by them, If the woman inside is replaced, what will they look like?"

Zhao Surui almost laughed out loud just thinking about it.

"Interesting! Interesting! Interesting! A sinister person like you, Shen Sanfei, can really come up with harmful tricks!"

Zhao Surui made no secret of his feelings. When Shen Sanfei took power before, he just wanted to kill her, but now he felt that it was really satisfying to see Shen Sanfei make a fool of the officials he usually hated so much.

Therefore, it doesn't matter that this person is insidious. As long as he is not insidious towards himself, he will naturally be happy to watch the show.

"The imperial court spends its salary to support them. They not only stare at my harem but also my relatives...these insects, ha, ha ha ha!"

Zhao Surui suddenly felt that he had a clear idea. After finishing the duck meat, the little kitten jumped onto the table and played with the duck bones that he had chewed into pieces. He carried him and put them aside.

He touched the bowl of fish specially made for cats and found that the sides of the bowl were no longer hot. Zhao Surui placed the fish in front of the kitten.

The kitten looked at the fish, but seemed to be more interested in the duck Zhao Surui was eating. It raised its little paws and ran towards him, but he grabbed his hind legs and dragged him back:

"Why are you so picky about your food, little kitten?"

He tapped the kitten's forehead with his finger:

"Eat fish."

The kitten looked at Zhao Surui with wide round eyes, then smelled the fish in the wooden bowl, and finally started eating.

"Are you planning to keep Qian Zhuo, the current censor of Zuodu?"

"Before, this person was just pursuing small profits and losing the righteousness. Now he knows that he has lost the holy will, and he wants to be a cruel official to attract favors. This kind of person should not be in a high position."

While eating, Zhao Surui's left hand was not idle. Sometimes he poked the cat's tail, sometimes pinched the cat's legs, which made the kitten even uneasy to eat. After listening to Shen Shiqing's words, he sneered, Qian Zhuo This person was promoted by him, yet he was so disliked by Shen Sanfai.

"Then who do you want to hire now so that you can support Qian Zhuo? Chu Jiyuan? He can handle the accounts well, but being a censor... you will get yourself killed sooner or later. A censor from the right capital can settle accounts with his reputation."

Shen Shiqing did not hide anything: "Your Majesty, don't worry. When Chu Jiyuan builds the review department in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for me, I will transfer him back to the Ministry of Revenue to serve as Minister. As for the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the person I want to use is Shi Wen." Policy. "

Shi Wence?

Zhao Surui frowned.

"It's good for Sou Ishiguro to be the censor, but he has no foundation in the court. Otherwise, with his merits, he would not have been an official for almost twenty years and still be a mere fourth-rank official."

Before Shi Wence resigned to take care of Chu Jiyuan, he was a fourth-rank censor of Qiandu. This official position is not small, but for Shi Wence, who had uncovered several major cases, his official career could not be considered smooth.

"You see, he has known Chu Jiyuan and Li Congyuan for so many years. He even gave up his official position to take care of Chu Jiyuan. After all, he is not close to them." After saying this, Zhao Surui curled his lips. These people are easy to use, and the king and his ministers get along. It can make people extremely angry.

After listening to his words, Shen Shiqing nodded: "Friends but not partisans, just this Shi Wence is a thousand times better than Qian Zhuo. Shi Wence has justice in his heart, I want to promote female officials to the What the Metropolitan Procuratorate is looking for is not someone who can cater to female officials, but someone who, out of a sense of justice, can allow female officials to express their ambitions in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Zhao Surui sneered: "Shen Sanfei, you think too well of people. Shi Wence has justice in his heart, but that impartiality may not be transferred to a woman. Look at Chu Jiyuan, both the government and the public praise him as a gentleman, but he What kind of person do you think you are to your own family?"

Being a woman these days, Zhao Surui also has some experience.

Just like Shen Sanfa's little cousin, and Shao Zhiqing who was beaten by him in public. If a man came to see it, he would only think that one is obedient and the other loyal. But what if it were a woman? The obedient one becomes abominable, and the loyal one became despicable.

"Confucius taught countless truths, but not a single word taught future generations to treat men and women as equals."

He looked sideways at Shen Sanfei:

"The only dog ​​in the world is that if you give it meat, regardless of gender, it will wag its tail, man, tsk."

Shen Shiqing really didn't expect that she would hear such words from Zhao Surui. She raised her head slightly and looked at the person in front of her.

This person still used her body, with fair complexion, black hair, and was simply dressed. Although the bun was only fixed with a hairpin like her before, there was an extra white jade finger on her hand.

His expression was unruly, and there was a perverse and violent look in his eyebrows that seemed to have been brought from his mother's womb. She always remembered that the person inside her was Zhao De Emperor Zhao Surui.

The person who said these words turned out to be Emperor Zhaode of Great Yong.

The corners of her lips curled up, and Shen Shiqing didn't even know what to smile about.

After a while, she said:

"Your Majesty, if Shi Wence can use it, I actually have another move, but I have to trouble Your Majesty to use it."

"Me?" Zhao Surui was a little surprised, "Shen Sanfei, what insidious ideas are you planning?"

Shen Shiqing smiled and poured tea into the water glass in Zhao Surui's hand.

"Your Majesty, to be honest, before you and I exchanged souls that day, I wrote a letter in blood asking for help."

Zhao Surui waved his hand: "I know this. Did you write to your Aunt Liu?"

"Give it to Aunt Liu, this is just the first step." Shen Shiqing looked out the window, "Aunt Liu often travels around the capital and makes friends with the wives of civil servants. She also has close contacts with several wives of imperial censors. I am I want to use her to build momentum for me in Beijing."

"I also have a blood letter, which I asked my maid Chuiyun, who had redeemed herself from the house, to send to Shi Wence. However, he will not take out the blood letter for the time being."
