Imperial Palace, Yonghe Palace.

In the Shouwang study, a boy recited tremblingly.

"So if you don't climb a high mountain, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't come to a deep stream, you don't know how thick the earth is; if you don't hear the last words of the ancient kings, you don't know how great the knowledge is.

The sons of Gan, Yue, Yi, and He were born with the same voice, and grew up with different customs, which was the reason for teaching them. The poem says: "Ah, you gentleman will never rest in peace."

The throne of the Communist Party is so righteous. God listens to it and introduces the blessings of the world. Nothing is greater than the transformation of the Tao, and no blessings are greater than the lack of misfortune."

Shouwang’s IQ is definitely not very high, but his execution ability is still good.

With the encouragement of the whip, he spent four days memorizing the first paragraph, and now he spent three days memorizing the second paragraph.

According to this progress, I can still finish memorizing it before the Spring Festival.

King Shou is not just memorizing the original text.

After he finishes memorizing, he still has to recite and explain the translation.

It may not be difficult for a person to memorize by rote, but it is necessary to understand the meaning to be considered complete.

Otherwise, if someone asks him what he means, he says I can only recite and don’t know what it means, then do you think it’s embarrassing?

It could have been 100 points, but in the end it was only 60 points. Do you think it is wronged or not?

Of course, Liu Mingqi could not allow such a thing to happen, so he had to ask King Shou not only to be able to recite the original text, but also to recite the translation, and to be able to translate it in disorderly order.

"So if you don't climb the mountains, you don't know how high the sky is; if you don't look down from the deep stream, you don't know how wide the earth is..."

After King Shou finished memorizing the translation smoothly, Liu Mingqi picked up two more sentences to ask, and he answered it immediately.

It can be seen that this kid has been working hard these days.

However, King Shou had no intention of being proud of him at all.

Because he knew that Liu Mingqi's strictness was beyond imagination.

Sure enough, when he finished answering, Liu Mingqi pointed out his shortcomings today: "Ming'an, how many times have I told you? Even if you recite, you must have priorities and charm! Why have you learned from the great scholars these days? You can't do this little thing?"

King Shou said with a bitter face: "Sir, it's not my fault. They read it so old-fashionedly, not as loud as you, and their voices are loud. According to their reading, it's really uncomfortable!"

Liu Mingqi Xu clicked him, "For me, flattering is useless! Although you are talking about the facts, you still have to learn to combine my reciting method with theirs to form your own things, otherwise I will still slap you, do you know?"

"I understand." King Shou lowered his head.

Liu Mingqi didn't just say harsh words, he really beat him directly.

The first section of the King of Shou was whipped seven times, and the second section was also 6 times, which made him feel psychologically shady.

Just to stop being scolded and beaten, King Shou did not have the time to bully people during this period, and he would study and recite it when he had time.

This made the palace maids and eunuchs in Yonghe Palace very happy and secretly called the Bodhisattva for blessing.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liu Mingqi reminded: "It's like this today, rest at night, and continue to memorize the third paragraph tomorrow. Remember to ask the great scholars to practice writing more. Look at your words, like a dog's pavement, is it embarrassing to throw them away?"

King Shou's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he still endured it.

When Liu Mingqi, the great devil, left, could not see his back, he whispered, "I'm saying that my word "is ugly"? How good can you be? Wait for me! When I grow up, I will punish you to write the "Book of Filial Piety" ten thousand times!"

After saying harsh words, the naughty child deliberately looked around. Seeing that there was no one around and the great devil did not come back secretly, he ran back to the study with peace of mind.

...

After coming out of Yonghe Palace, a waiting eunuch outside immediately came up and said, "Your Highness, General Zhao has something urgent to come to you. He can't leave the imperial study room now, so I'm sorry to go there."

Zhao Shou?

Liu Mingqi stopped, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch smiled and said, "How do I know? Anyway, the chief executive said it, it's very urgent. After you come out, I will let me notify you and take you there."

"Okay, go!"

Liu Mingqi signaled him to lead the way.

After a stick of incense, the young man met Zhao Shou in the open space about ten meters in front of the door of the Imperial Study Room.

Of course, Zhao Shou did not wait there, but sneaked out after hearing the news.

The old eunuch looked melancholy, "Your Highness, hurry up and go in and comfort Your Majesty. It's too difficult for him to be inside!"

Liu Mingqi did not rush to agree, but listened to the voice: "There is someone else there?"

"Zhong Xiang, Hanlin Academy Feng Xueshu, Wang Shangshu of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhou Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Li Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites were all there." Zhao Shou said, "They have forced the emperor for an afternoon. It's time for dinner, but they still don't let the emperor go."

"What's going on?" Liu Mingqi was really surprised.

A deputy prime minister, an emperor's most trusted think tank, and three ministers, come together to force the palace?

Could it be my Dakang Pill?

Bah bah bah bah bah!

What nonsense is talking nonsense!

As the boy's thoughts were released, Zhao Shou whispered: "Isn't it related to you? Do you remember the certificate you mentioned before?"

Certificate?

Liu Mingqi smiled, "Are they going to ask the emperor to issue an order to make a lot of money?"

"Who said it wasn't it! But like this... the emperor decided on such a bad thing, and there was still pressure to do it!" Zhao Shou said distressedly.

The so-called sacrificial certificate refers to Liu Mingqi's previous efforts to open up the source of the imperial court, and suggested that all monks, nuns and Taoists under the age of 40 should return to secular life. If someone wants to become a monk, he would have to pay a thousand taels of silver to obtain a sacrificial certificate.

According to Liu Mingqi's estimate, if the operation is done well, the court will be able to get more than 10 million taels of silver this year, and then earn at least two or three million a year.

Don’t underestimate this money. For the current imperial court, it is a timely help.

The only disadvantage of this kind of effort-saving and making money is that it is a bit unethical.

However, compared to alleviating the dilemma of the whole world, this lack of morality is almost ignored.

But he had no choice but to do anything. Emperor Jing He was a shameless emperor. When Liu Mingqi proposed, he had already refused.

"It's strange." Liu Mingqi suddenly remembered something, "Old Zhao, when I first talked about this, you, me, and the emperor, why did everyone know about it suddenly? Could it be that you leaked the secret?"

Zhao Shou shook his hand quickly: "Your Highness, don't wrong me! This was the last time Lord Miao came to the emperor to ask for money, but the emperor was forced to do nothing, so he accidentally let it go."

"Miaoyan?"

The boy laughed unconsciously, "Mr. Miao is famous for being insulted! He can think of it."

At this time, Liu Mingqi remembered the road to the Imperial Street mentioned by Miao Yan, and suddenly felt that this guy had planned it.

He did not come forward, but encouraged these people to force the emperor.

In the end, I got the benefits. Can I still lose the share of him as an informant?

It's indeed an old silver coin!

It is not scary to be a Legal minister who is rushing hard. It is the most scary to know how to get away from Yinren.

"Not it, now..."

Zhao Shou was about to say something else, but suddenly he saw the eunuch at the door signing with him. He quickly pulled Liu Mingqi, "Your Highness, let's come to the side and avoid them!"

Liu Mingqi also knew that it was not suitable to meet these ministers at this time, so she followed Zhao Shou to the corner and stood with several guards.

It was already pitch black at this time, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it.

After standing for a while, several ministers inside withdrew one after another and walked straight out with eunuchs and guards carrying lanterns.

Because of the ambiguous light, they could not see Liu Mingqi, but the young man could see the expressions of several ministers clearly.

He found that these important officials were helpless, and obviously did not get the results he wanted.

Then Zhao Shou took Liu Mingqi and sneaked into the imperial study room.

Coincidentally, Emperor Jing He was sitting in front of the small table next to him, eating big mouthfuls of food.

The food was still steaming, obviously it was warm just now.

But there are only three types of styles, two meat and one vegetable, and a standard luxury package for migrant workers.

Not only did Emperor Jinghe not find it simple, but instead ate with relish.

Seeing Liu Mingqi coming, he smiled, "Mingqi coming? Don't say that, this pork is getting more and more delicious as you eat it. It's much better than beef, mutton and chicken!"

When I got closer, I saw that the emperor ate fried pork, shredded pickled pork and tofu.

According to legend, Song Renzong of the Song Dynasty lived a simple life. Liu Mingqi had never met Song Renzong, but Jing and Emperor were really not bad at all.

If you want to have a meal, you have to take advantage of the time when your ministers leave. Just like ordinary servants in the palace, you can eat a little more refined at best.

But compared to the large table of dishes in my Qing Dynasty, it was much worse.

"Your Majesty, you are happy, my pig is in trouble." Liu Mingqi responded with a smile: "It could have been one more month, but now it has been supplied to more than ten people in the palace. I wonder if there is still a lot of left after the New Year's dinner."

"You have to promise me that you must be enough for the New Year dinner." Jing Hedi reminded, "This time several surrounding tribal vassal states will send special envoys here, so you can't be embarrassed in front of them."

"I know, there will be no trouble."

Liu Mingqi nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, why did they come together? Is there any conspiracy?"
