Chapter 22 Burning

"Anyway, you are still an asshole!" Su Siman scolded hard.

"How can an asshole deceive the eyes and ears of others!" Liang Shaojun picked up a wisp of hair scattered on her shoulders and circled around her fingertips.

Su Siman didn't have time to think about other things at this time. He wanted to sleep, but he was hungry.

Liang Shaojun asked in time, "Are you hungry?"

Susman blinked and nodded.

"Wait a minute."

Then Liang Shaojun loudly ordered people to send the clothes in. As soon as Su Siman saw the person who sent the clothes in, he quickly put the quilt up again. He blushed and simply drilled his whole head and face into the quilt. Liang Shaojun was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth and ordered Bixi to deliver the meal quickly and send it to the bedroom.

After a while, Liang Shaojun had finished packing up and put his clothes on his body properly. Although Su Siman was lazy and didn't want to move, he felt that he could not be erased from this appearance again, so he had to get up. As a result, I felt that the bones all over my body were scattered and weak. Liang Shaojun cherished her and came to dress her in person, which was gentle and tight.

Bixi led three or five maids to bring in the meal, and Liang Shaojun ordered to set up a small table in ** to save Su Siman from getting out of bed. Su Siman was so ashamed that he dared not look up at people and clutched the hem of his coat tightly.

After the arrangement, several other maids of honor retreated, leaving only the tourmaline in front of them.

Liang Shaojun lifted the hem of his clothes and went to bed again. He sat opposite Su Siman, looking like a gentleman. Su Siman peeked at the silk brocade without wrinkles on his body. His serious face and thought painfully that this boy was actually the best of the beasts. Sure enough, he was not good-looking...

"Today's lunch is really sumptuous." Su Siman smiled and said, she remembered that the lunch at the court of Liang had always been quite light. What happened today?

The tourmaline laughed, and Bian Bucai said reluctantly and seriously, "Princes concubine, this is dinner."

"..." Someone wanted to hit the tofu to death, but it was time for dinner! Almost a day of tossing! What a beast!

Why don't you eat? Is the food unappetizing? Liang Shaojun stopped his chopsticks and asked with concern.

"Uh...no..." Su Siman quickly shook his head and buried his head to eat.

"Eat slowly and don't chop." Liang Shaojun picked up vegetables in Su Siman's bowl and was considerate.

Su Siman is awkward and useful, needless to say.

After dinner, Liang Shaojun accompanied her for another conversation. Seeing that it was getting dark, he said that he wanted to go out of the palace to discuss with Prime Minister Zhang and asked Su Siman to have a good rest and come back later. Su Siman personally sent him out of the palace.

After the rain, the heat in the north was temporarily relieved, but the disaster situation in the south was even less optimistic. After the heavy rain, the temperature slowly rose.

The emperor decided to go to Fuwang Mountain to pray for blessings on the first day of next month, and the other side ordered the prince and Prime Minister Zhang to accelerate the collection of disaster relief funds.

Now this job that falls on Liang Shaojun's head looks extremely fat, but it is actually a hot potato. Raising disaster relief funds, who doesn't know that disaster relief is the easiest way to fish in troubled waters? Which one is not coveted? But this time, it's obviously a little different from before. It's not a good job to scrape oil and water from these court officials, and it's easy to remember hatred and resentment.

Liang Shaojun is very clear that this is a difficult problem given to him by the emperor, or a test, a test of his courage to be a prince.

Although the emperor has always advocated integrity and issued many decrees to severely punish corruption and bribery, it is still repeatedly banned and cannot be completely eliminated. After more than 200 years since the founding of the State of Liang, it has flourished and declined. In Zhongxing, the emperors of successive dynasties have repeatedly made efforts to rectify the governance of officials, with little effect. Especially in the past few years, the country once collapsed. The reason why there is today's Zhongxing is that the Gongqing family has played a great role. How many of the powerful ministers in the current dynasty are not from a family? This has created a situation that is not only difficult to shake, but also more and stronger.

Twenty years ago, the emperor once tried to weaken the power of the family, and the Xie family, which had held the government for nearly 50 years, was disintegrated, but the confrontation between the imperial power and the public secretary ended in the defeat of the imperial power. After that, the emperor's political strategy completely softened, and it seemed that he chose to compromise in silence. It is also because of this incident that these big families are further aware of the threat posed by the imperial power to their own interests, so everyone coincidentally chose to form a group, and it is more difficult to eliminate the formation of private parties, involving one hair and moving the whole body. If they want to really clean up the imperial platform, these "social ministers" will not turn the sky, and maybe the world will be in chaos. . Therefore, although it clearly knows that there are many redundant officials, which are moths that consume the country's financial resources, the court still has to support them and turn a blind eye to their various means of agivation. As long as they do not arouse too much public anger, they will only turn a blind eye to them. The biggest role of those decrees is to appease the hearts of the people. There is still a long way to go to truly implement them.

And these dignitaries are obviously used to the favorable. They have always been the only ones who put money in other people's pockets. This time, the prince wants to scrape oil and water from them, which is tantamount to Taisui's head, and they have to weigh it.

How can Liang Shaojun not see this? However, the amount of disaster relief funds is huge. Raising from the people is completely fantastic. Not to mention time-consuming and laborious, the most likely is still a drop in the bucket. The most direct and effective way is to start from these rich officials in Beijing. The problem is that if he really wants to do this, won't those ministers hate him to death and lose the support of these people? The consequences will be unpredictable. But if the fund-raising is not good, I can't bear the responsibility!

The biggest distress is that you know it is a hot potato, but you have to hold it tightly in your arms, as if you know that a further step is a trap, but you have to continue to walk without hesitation. The imperial edict is the imperial edict, and it is not up to anyone.

The emperor will go to Fuwang Mountain to pray for the people seven days later. At that time, he will also accompany him. There is really not much time left for him.

Liang Shaojun has been having a headache these days, and the collection of disaster relief funds has not progressed smoothly as expected.

Previously, the emperor said that the amount of each minister's family should be counted according to the number of people. As a result, when Liang Shaojun personally visited the public security and other door-door families, he found that there were less than ten servants in the house, and all of them were really "clean". Another headache for him is that his right-hand man Li Yuan has always been out of shape recently, and there seems to be something wrong with his body. He can only take a vacation and let him rest.

His grandfather nominally wanted to help him, but he was arrested by the emperor to prepare for the blessing ceremony on the first day of the lunar new year.

Liang Shaojun is so busy that he doesn't even have time to communicate with Su Siman.
