Zhao Xi lived like this, very boring. In the eyes of the empress, he was very fulfilled, and in the eyes of the court, he was very diligent.
Anyway, everyone else seemed fine, but Zhao Xi himself thought it was really bad.
It can't be said that the court really doesn't do anything, it does, most of it is a temporary approach, basically demolishing the east wall to repair the west wall, trying not to touch anything that may lead to quarrels.
Everyone just made do with it. They didn't dare to do anything. They just demolished the east wall to repair the west wall. Even if it was a small matter, they would have to argue for three to five days. If they really wanted to
It's hard work to change anything, unless we change both the Zhengshi Hall and the Yushitai like in the Qingli Year, at least 70% or more of them must be of the same opinion.
This is today's court.
Zhao Xi believes in that sentence: As long as there is no war, society will always develop and progress. The quality of policies is only reflected in the promotion of development and progress.
So, just watch and learn.
Learning how his father reviewed memorials, learning how the princes handled trivial matters in the court... really made Zhao Xi bored.
A problem that can be explained in two sentences has to be talked about for a long time, and he has to work hard to figure out what he wants to explain. For such memorials, my father always criticizes with one word: good.
Obviously he is asking for a position from someone close to him, so he can just write his resume without having to talk to the sages for a long time. How does this hinder the sages? Could it be that this person is not qualified in the end because the sages taught him wrongly?
For such a memorial, my father still criticized it with one word: Yes!
As long as there is something provocative and involves some interests, no matter how the memorial is written, whether it is full of flowers and flowers, or whether it is a direct narrative. The husband and the father all say the same: we will discuss it later.
This reminded Zhao Xi of a saying often said by later generations: We will talk about this later.
Besides, in most cases, it is not said.
The same is true today. Those who discuss it again will either make a lot of noise in the morning and continue to shelve it, or they will just put it over and ignore it.
To say that the most effective thing is to impeach. No matter whether it is true or not, even if it is just based on rumors... the Yushitai is always based on rumors.
That's not the case. As long as someone impeaches the official, the official who was caught will immediately go home and stay there, which will be suspended from office in future generations.
Use this to prove your innocence. The question is whether you are innocent or not. Can you prove it by just going home?
In the end, no matter what the outcome is, there is only one result for the involved official: to be released.
Sometimes Zhao Xi doesn't understand whether the court has dealt with it or not. Most of the people who are transferred to the outside world, especially those at the level of the governor, every time they are released to the outside world, the court will promote them in disguise.
Is this wrong or right? Wrong. Shouldn't it be a demotion when being transferred to another company? But a promotion and a raise in salary are given. If this is right, why not just continue in the same position?
When Zhao Xi listened to the government, he really listened. He listened a lot, and it really played a role in understanding the court.
These stereotypes... are difficult to change.
Occasionally, Zhao Xi would be asked for his opinion on some things. He was not stupid. He might even express his opinion when he was alone with his father. If all the princes were present, Zhao Xi would also say: The court's handling of matters was reasonable and well-founded.
Because he is still listening to the government, still attending the meeting, and has not yet received the ceremony, so he cannot give instructions to the court. The key is that his father is afraid of trouble, and he does not want to cause trouble to his father, even if it ends up being a big trouble for him. He has to do it now
Like this.
This period of time, a long period of time, was not without happy things. For example, Su Song made him very happy.
Su Song should be a master of mechanical or industrial design. Because he really made a bronze fire system that allows a single soldier to pull the trigger...
If conditions weren't so limited, Zhao Xi believed that he could draw a picture of a future firearm, and Su Song could turn it into reality.
Sometimes Zhao Xi really wants to tell Su Song all the theories about firearms in later generations and see what changes he can make under the current conditions.
"Fantasy Country" has been published. In the words of later generations, it has been completed.
Su Song has been working abroad, and I don’t know if he has ever watched "Fantasy Country". Perhaps Zhao Xi mistook the audience at the beginning, thinking that while spreading his ideas, he could take care of the newspaper business, but he ignored the scholar-bureaucrats’ support for
That kind of rejection of vernacular articles.
Therefore, it is very possible that Su Song has not seen it, and it is even said that most scholar-bureaucrats have not seen it. Even if they have seen it, they only treat it as a entertainment and do not explain the book in depth.
Therefore, Zhao Xi asked the engraving workshop to specially print a part of the bound volume of "Fantasy Kingdom", which is a complete set of "Fantasy Kingdom".
"Teacher Su, although this book is a bit absurd, some ideas may be inspiring to you."
Zhao Xi pretended to be very casual and handed Su Song the bound volume of "Fantasy Kingdom".
This is considered a gift signed by the author, and it will definitely represent deep friendship in future generations.
"Your Highness, why are you reading this?"
Su Song was surprised. He had no experience with the prince's education and knew what it would be like. Unexpectedly, His Highness the prince not only read this article, but also specially made a bound volume.
"I think it's really nice to have some free time."
It's very awkward. I want to be proud, but I have to pretend not to care.
"Your Highness, in fact, it seems to me that many of the things in this article are not fabricated out of thin air. Just like the Copper Fire System, using this as an example, it can be imagined that when the smelting industry reaches a certain level, it may not be impossible to achieve what is stated in the book."
Zhao Xi felt very proud when he heard Su Song tell him so seriously, and he couldn't help but say: I am the author of this book!
No, this is really not possible. Only my mother-in-law and uncle know about this matter. Others... yes, there is also Wang Zhongzheng who knows about it.
This matter can never be told outside, it can only remain a secret forever.
"I also feel that it has some inspiration for you, so I send this bound edition to you."
This was the first person Zhao Xi met when he came to this era that made him feel sympathy for him.
On this day, Zhao Xi and Su Song talked a lot, starting from "Fantasy Kingdom". Through the things in the book, they talked about the smelting industry and astronomy. It felt like they had met so late.
Su Song got a lot of inspiration from Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi also learned the foundation of today's life from Su Song.
Zhao Xi didn't know it was already very late until Wang Zhongzheng reminded him.
This team of escorts was also unlucky. They had to stay up until late at night today for a simple escort mission.
That is to say, Zhao Xi now lives alone in the East Palace. If he was still in the inner garden, the palace door would have been closed by now. For his own convenience, he left a small door in the East Palace, which was very secretive...
"Your Highness..."
Huh? Zhao Xi felt very comfortable tonight. It was the first time he came here. He was walking back like that, but unexpectedly he heard someone calling him in this alley.
Zhao Xi looked around for the person calling him... but found nothing. The entire escort team was on alert...
