really.
At this time, Liu E only felt relieved.
It feels good to have power, but with such a huge empire pressing on her, the pressure is also endless.
Especially some time ago, she didn't even have anyone close to her.
That feeling is not good.
But now the relationship between Sixth Brother and her has returned to what it used to be. Even though Sixth Brother is still young, Sixth Brother is still her support.
Besides, Sixth Brother is not an ordinary young emperor.
Instead of forcing the two of them to become enemies in the end, it is better to slowly hand over the government affairs. When the sixth brother gets married, she will completely hand over the government affairs and take care of herself.
Calculating the days, it won't be too long. When Brother Six's mourning period is over, Liu E will prepare for Brother Six's wedding.
A few moments.
Li Jie and Liu E heard the noise in the distance, and they returned to the inner hall one after another.
"See Your Majesty."
"Attend Queen Mother."
In the palace, Ding Wei and a group of ministers paid homage to Li Jie and the Queen Mother in turn.
The emperor is in front and the queen mother is in the back. This is the rule at any time.
After all, the emperor is the most precious.
Not to mention that Ding Wei now has the standard answer, and his attitude towards officials is much more serious now than before.
"sit."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After saying this, all the ministers sat down one after another according to their respective ranks and positions.
In informal occasions like this, the courtiers sit and discuss matters.
"The purpose of summoning all the ministers today is to regulate Taihu Lake. You have all read Fan Zhongyan's letter."
Seeing the courtiers take their seats, Liu E officially started today's topic.
"What do you think of the dredging of the river that he reported?"
In fact, Liu E's decision to take the lead today was not for the right to speak. She simply wanted to leave some room for maneuver for the officials.
She will bear all the infamy.
And this was one of the reasons why she didn't agree with Fan Zhongyan's river repair before.
She is now the candidate appointed by the late emperor to supervise the country before his death.
Therefore, whether it is in contemporary times or in later history books, during the period when she was in power, the quality of her policies, her reputation and notoriety, must all be tied to her.
"I think it's impossible!"
No one expected that the first official to speak out was Wang Zeng, the political advisor.
"Dredging the river is a big battle, but the Suhu area has just been hit by the disaster and is simply unable to bear such a force!"
"Command, Fan Zhongyan cannot serve as a local prison official and has no right to interfere with important state affairs such as dredging the river. This is an act beyond the scope of his duties!"
"According to the ancestral story, you should be punished!"
Dredging the river is of course a good thing, and Wang Zeng also agrees with this.
But when to repair it?
How to fix it?
These are not things that can be explained clearly in a few words. With such an important political matter, how can the court just act on its words just because of a selection of candidates?
absurd!
The greatest absurdity in the world!
In Wang Zeng's opinion, today's Chengming Hall meeting should not have been held in the first place.
Is there any need to discuss Junhe at this time?
No need at all!
There is no need to pay attention to this kind of letter at all.
During the reign of the late emperor, how many palaces were built and how many civil services were launched?
The imperial palace was rebuilt, the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace was built, and countless Taoist temples were built in various places.
How many civilian workers were employed in these projects?
I'm afraid even Ding Wei, the person in charge, doesn't know.
Not long ago, a large number of civilians were recruited to build the imperial mausoleum.
This happens again and again, and the people's power is wasted no matter how much it is.
Now, the new emperor has just ascended the throne, and it is time to recuperate and recuperate, and the people can no longer bear the torment.
At first, the king thought that since the emperor was young and a woman was in charge, there would be no major wars in the court.
As a result, who would have thought that before the late emperor arrived, a candidate named Fan Zhongyan would brave the disapproval of the world and propose to dredge the river?
What a clever word!
"The king is participating in politics, this is wrong!"
Here, Wang Zeng had just finished speaking, and over there, Ding Wei immediately rebutted.
While Wang Zeng was speaking, Ding Wei had been secretly observing the expressions of the officials and the Queen Mother. He found that the Queen Mother seemed to be more friendly to Wang Zeng's remarks.
But the official family is different.
The expression on the official's face showed neither happiness nor anger.
Therefore, Ding Wei thought that since there was no joy, the officials probably didn't like Wang Zeng's remarks.
Combined with this, today's political discussions are initiated by officials.
Do you still need to guess what the officials mean?
Need not!
If the officials feel that there is no need to dredge the river, then there is no need to convene the ministers of the two governments for a meeting!
"Prime Minister Ding, what do you have in mind?"
On the other side, Wang Zeng turned his head and looked at Ding Wei with a faint look.
It's him again!
When the late emperor was in power, it was Ding Wei who encouraged the late emperor to carry out large-scale construction projects!
To seal the East and offer sacrifices to the West, Ding Wei's encouragement is indispensable!
Although Wang Zeng looked at people through colored glasses, the thoughts in his heart were not entirely false.
Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen to report the dynasty's achievements and great achievements to the gods of heaven and earth, and to announce them to the world.
Fengchan is not only the most important sacrificial ceremony, but also the highest pursuit of emperors of all dynasties.
The First Emperor was the first emperor in historical records to hold the Taishan Zen ceremony. His successors were only Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
Throughout the dynasties, the number of emperors who were granted Zen status was small. On the one hand, this was because they felt that their merits were not enough to achieve Zen status, and on the other hand, there were also economic reasons.
Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty spent nearly 10 million yuan on the Zen title alone.
Of course, Song Zhenzong was not a completely ignorant king. He did not dare to make the decision on his own for such a major matter as the title of Zen.
He first obtained theoretical confirmation from Du Yan, a scholar at the time, that Hetu Luoshu was nothing but a sage who used Shinto to teach.
Then he bribed Prime Minister Wang Dan with jewels, which gained Wang Dan's tacit approval in politics.
Finally, he asked Ding Wei, who was the "Third Minister of Quan" at the time, whether the finances of the DPRK could support Feng Chan.
At that time, Feng Chan was not only a means for Zhenzong to rectify his name, but also a ladder for southern scholars to rise to power.
As a southern scholar, Ding Wei would naturally not give a negative answer.
"hehe."
Ding Wei smiled slightly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, but it's just some foolish opinions."
After saying this, he straightened his body and faced the imperial stage.
"Your Majesty, I believe that dredging the river is imperative!"
"According to Chen Xiao, there is a flood every five years in the Suhu area."
"The world's grain harvesting is not more important than the Six Southeast Routes, and the land of Suhu is one of the most important grain-producing areas among the Six Southeast Routes."
"Cure the floods in Suhu Land. Based on the conditions of Suhu Land, the output of Suhu Land alone is enough to supply the needs of the Forbidden Army in Beijing!"
"Therefore, I agree with Fan Zhongyan's proposal!"
As he spoke, Ding Wei paused slightly and changed the subject.
"Of course, Taihu Lake is a huge lake, and dredging the river is a major undertaking, so we must be cautious."
"I suggest that we send someone who is proficient in water conservancy to test it first."
"When he returns to Beijing, we will have another court discussion and discuss it in depth."
The official family wanted to dredge the river, and Ding Wei planned to support the official family. Naturally, Ding Wei would not let go of the merits involved.
Otherwise, wouldn’t your work be in vain?
