Dutang, Lingtang.
Han Jiang was talking to Zhang Hong.
The messenger in the palace handed him a piece of paper from the two palaces.
"Is this?" Han Jiang has not yet reacted.
The envoy said: "This is the details of the expenses of the Funing Palace and the emperor's daily meals since he came to the throne..."
Han Jiang listened, with question marks all over his head.
Zhang Hong didn't know why either.
Then the messenger sighed: "Today Sima Gong wrote a letter and discussed the replacement of the Emperor's Sutra Banquet Palace with Jiying Palace..."
"By the way, I have to save money and the emperor should develop simple and studious habits..."
"The loving saints of the two palaces have ordered that the emperor's expenses since he came to the throne be clearly disclosed and managed..."
After hearing this, Han Jiang was in a trance.
what's the situation?
What did Sima Guang do?
How dare he! ?
Even if it was Renmiao back then, which minister would dare to interfere with what he eats, where he lives, and what he uses!
No one even dares to touch the affairs of Queen Wen Chengzhang’s family!
Zhang Hong, who was sitting in front of Han Jiang, was also frightened and sat there without even moving.
Han Jiang took a deep breath and looked down at the paperwork in her hand.
This was obviously transcribed.
Rows of numbers record the official's daily expenses and diet.
Han Jiang only glanced at it and swallowed.
Because the dishes here have hardly changed.
Moreover, they are all very common!
In addition, the cost of Fuling Hall is almost the same every day.
Occasionally there are changes because officials use pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
With such expenditure, let alone an emperor!
Han Jiang felt that the few mature sons in his family might be able to consume the emperor's monthly expenses just by visiting Wazi!
"Sima Twelve..." Han Jiang sighed in her heart: "This time, I am afraid that I will become the target of public criticism and be the target of thousands of people!"
At least, Yushitai will never let go of this best opportunity to show his loyalty!
…
Zhang Dun was playing with the details of the emperor's expenses issued in the palace.
He leaned back slightly in his chair.
"Young Master, is this intentional? Or does he really advocate simplicity?" he thought.
Looking at the details, the young master's expenses have been like this since he ascended the throne.
His expenses in the palace can be compared with him. Looking through the history books, except for those three generations of ancestors who cannot be tested and have no explicit records, we can probably only find examples of Emperor Wen of Han from the Han Dynasty.
Emperor Wen had only three dishes for a meal. He wanted to build a pavilion, but he refused after hearing a hundred gold coins.
The history books are full of praise and praise.
But Zhang Dun reads books more carefully.
Therefore, he quickly found a record from the history books that was not very coordinated and did not fit the image of Emperor Wen.
Deng Tong, the favorite minister beside Emperor Wen, controlled the world's copper mountains, cast Deng Tong's money, and circulated it all over the world!
At that time, half of the money in the world was cast by Deng Tong, and half was cast by King Liu Bi of Wu!
So here comes the question...
Deng Tong was the most favored minister of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. Did he know that he minted so much money?
I wonder, can Emperor Wen still be a wise king?
You know, isn't Deng Tong the one who did dirty things for Emperor Wen?
All bad things are done by ministers!
The emperor is innocent!
Think about the Song Dynasty, isn’t it the same?
Even when the villagers rioted, the banner was mostly anti-corruption rather than anti-corruption.
Usually, officials will quickly send people to recruit people.
By the way, I would like to punish the corrupt officials who have forced the "good people" to rebel.
Therefore, people already have proverbs.
Murder and arson were punished!
The veteran general Peng Sun who beheaded the Western bandit general Ren Duolingding on Jingyuan Road last year was originally a bandit in Fujian!
After he rebelled, he was recruited and transformed from a commoner to an officer, and then made military exploits along the border!
Now everyone is in Yaojun!
Thinking of this, Zhang Dun's lips burst into a smile.
"Sima Junshi may be seriously injured this time!" Zhang Dun thought in his heart.
No matter which situation the young master is in.
Sima Guang must have made a big mistake this time!
Maybe, the character that has been built up with so much hard work for more than ten years will collapse today!
Why?
Because he is wrong!
And he made a huge mistake in front of the people of the world, under the gaze of all the courtiers and scholar-bureaucrats!
Therefore, everyone will ask: Sima Gong, Sima Gong, the emperor only has four dishes for a meal, why do you have to control such a small amount of money?
So unreasonable!
Once the red flag of the old party is stained.
His halo will quickly decay!
…
Wen Yanbo was leisurely listening to the soft and waxy voice of the singer in the back room of the house.
Several maids served him beside him.
At this time, the door was carefully pushed open.
His son Wen Jifu came to him cautiously and whispered: "Sir, someone from the palace has sent documents..."
"Huh?" Wen Yanbo asked without opening his eyes, "What's the matter?"
"This is the breakdown of the expenses of the Funing Palace since the emperor came to the throne..." Wen Jifu said softly.
Wen Yanbo finally opened his eyes, looked at Wen Jifu suspiciously, and asked, "Okay, why did you suddenly issue such a thing?"
Wen Jifu swallowed his saliva and replied: "It is said that Sima Gong wrote a letter and talked about the young master's expenses and other arrangements when discussing the matter of changing the palace from the Sutra Banquet..."
"The two palaces then found out the details of the expenses of Funing Hall and the young master's diet since the young master came to the throne..."
When Wen Yanbo listened, everyone was dumbfounded.
Although the scholar-bureaucrats of the Song Dynasty have become more and more courageous since Renmiao.
Not only did he start to care about the emperor's behavior in the palace, but he even started to interfere in the emperor's private affairs!
But no one has ever dared to interfere so directly with the emperor’s personal expenses!
With a slight sigh of relief, Wen Yanbo took the document from Wen Jifu's hand.
He glanced down, closed his eyes, and sighed: "Sima Twelve may be in trouble this time!"
Wen Jifu didn't quite understand and asked, "What do you mean, sir, that Duke Sima will be demoted?"
Wen Yanbo looked at this silly son and shook his head.
He really has no political understanding at all!
But Wen Jifu was his son after all, so Wen Yanbo could only sigh and said: "Sima Twelve can still enter the three provinces and two governments!"
The edict of Emperor Daxing is placed there!
The official family always regarded themselves as the filial son of the Daxing Emperor.
In any case, Sima Guang can come to worship and rule.
"Then..." Wen Jifu didn't understand.
Wen Yanbo shook his head and stopped looking at Wen Jifu's face. He just said: "But now that Sima Twelve has entered the three provinces and two governments, it is no longer an honor..."
"It's the charity given to him by the two palaces for the sake of Emperor Daxing and the young master!"
"The scholar-bureaucrats do not eat the food they come for!"
"So, Sima Twelve will definitely refuse, and he will definitely refuse!"
"But the two palaces will definitely force him to take office!"
"But that's for the world to see!"
"It's also for Young Master to see!"
Wen Yanbo knew that from now on, unless a miracle happened - for example, the young master said that Emperor Daxing had special arrangements for Sima Guang.
Otherwise, Sima Guang's political life will only have his last few breaths left!
