Using a can of Blue Ocean Tide in exchange for the perfect timing, standing in front of the other party's best choice, and suddenly showing a "hidden" wisdom, Yang Shu waited for something that made him very satisfied. the result of.
Bai Changqing nodded in agreement, and if the power of tightening money and food supply really fell on Yang Shu, he would fully assist Yang Shu in advancing various money and food tasks.
The implication is that he agrees to join Yang Shu, but the degree of closeness has to be seen step by step, and he will not directly devote himself to it.
This is already a very good result. Because Yang Shu was sure that he would soon get the power to tighten the money and grain strategy. Being "weak" for so many years will not change at all just because he "became rich". Yang Shu knew the cognitive habits of the royal family very well.
Sure enough, on the night when Yang Shu and Bai Changqing's secret talk ended, he received an order from the palace, asking him to go to Wanmin Palace tomorrow morning to observe government affairs.
As soon as the order to observe came, Yang Shu's previous guesses were basically confirmed.
The next day was the imperial meeting. Yang Shu took the time to arrive at the Wanmin Palace and stood in front of the civil and military queues.
Princes rarely have the opportunity to participate in court affairs. Generally speaking, when a prince goes to court, he is either impeached and needs to come face to face to make some concessions or excuses; or there are special arrangements for the prince.
Today's civil and military officials actually felt confident when they saw Yang Shu. The "money and grain austerity strategy" that has been ignored by the emperor recently is actually very urgent and very intriguing. Many people have secretly speculated on the emperor's plan, and now it is clear to Yang Shu as soon as he comes.
However, Yang Shu's reputation as "the shame of the royal family" is very loud, and everyone has become accustomed to it over the years. They just came to see Li, and no one showed any intimacy with Yang Shu. Firstly, I felt that this prince was "unreliable, so it would be better to have less contact with him." Secondly, the occasion was inappropriate. Taking the initiative to contact the prince in public in public seemed a bit flattering, which led to a bad reputation.
Yang Shu didn't say hello to anyone, and stood in front without saying a word. He was wearing court uniform, but he still looked carefree. He didn't stand up properly until the eunuch sang loudly when the emperor arrived. The civil and military officials around him shook their heads secretly.
Only Bai Changqing, who had tea with Yang Shu yesterday, secretly thought: King Ling has indeed deceived almost everyone.
After the emperor sat down, he received the courtesy from the civil servants and officials below, and then raised his hands to let everyone stand down. After that, according to the process of the Great Court Meeting, starting from the Ministry of War, one by one, they reported on recent affairs and raised new issues for discussion. The Ministry of War first mentioned that this was a change only after the recent war in the south. In the past, the Ministry of War was the last to speak, which shows how fast the changes in the temple were.
Yang Yansi, the Minister of War, who used to be a must-visit at the imperial court, had not appeared for some time. Taking Yang Yansi's place was Wen Mingju, the current left minister of the Ministry of War. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty now realized that Wen Mingju was the emperor's puppet, and although Yang Yansi still had the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, he had actually been hung in the shade waiting to dry. It should be that what happened last time made the emperor hate Yang Yansi, the general of the Zhuguo State, but it was not easy to break up and hurt the hearts of the entire army, so he could only deal with it so coldly.
So now it looks like there are still six, but in fact it can only be counted as five. The Ministry of War has temporarily lost its relative independence.
After the Ministry of War finished speaking, he continued one by one. After finishing the last six parts, the emperor revealed the last and biggest thing of the day.
"In view of the busy affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the imminent tightening of money and grain, the implementation of this nationwide money and grain tightening strategy has been moved to the Lingwang Mansion, and the Lingwang is responsible for the execution."
As soon as the emperor's words fell, before Spirit King Yang Shu could even leave to take orders, Ye Lansheng, who was standing in the first row next to him, came out first.
He bowed his hands in a salute and continued: "Your Majesty! I think it is inappropriate to entrust such a heavy responsibility to the Spiritual King. Please take back your Majesty's orders!"
The emperor was a little surprised. He really didn't expect Ye Lansheng to jump out and interfere with this matter. According to his previous thoughts, by deliberately leaving it unaddressed, the foxes in the court should be able to use these few days to think this matter through, not to mention a very smart person like Ye Lansheng. Can’t you see that this is a balancing act before the royal family’s “big exam”? How dare you interfere?
Seeing the emperor's frown, Ye Lansheng was not afraid at all, and continued to bow and said: "Your Majesty, although His Royal Highness the Spirit King is smart, the issue of money and food shortages is of great importance, and it requires experience in all aspects to coordinate and coordinate, so it is difficult to master it in a short time. In addition, the military situation in the south is dangerous and urgent, so I think His Highness the Spirit King is not suitable to take over such an important task at this time. Please think again, Your Majesty!"
This was Ye Lansheng's opening remarks, which could be regarded as setting up a momentum. Then, without waiting for the emperor to speak, ministers and ministers stood up one by one and continued to give advice. From ability to timing, and from experience to situation, they were all eloquent. Although there was no lengthy speech, It sounds really reasonable. After all, what qualifications does a "royal disgrace" have to take on such an important task?
One by one, they came out to remonstrate. After speaking, they knelt down and did not go back to wait for the emperor's reply. Soon, a large group of people knelt at the front of the hall. It seemed that at least half of the people in the civil service class had come out.
The corners of the emperor's mouth rose. He hadn't encountered such an interesting situation in a long time. Surprisingly, he thought again when he looked at Ye Lansheng kneeling at the front.
On the other hand, although the military and military personnel were whispering among themselves, no one stood up to refute the remarks of the civilian officials. First of all, the "money and grain austerity strategy" is a government matter, not a military matter, so they have no reason to interfere. Secondly, the reputation of King Ling is indeed not good, and he seems to be acting very unreliable. Most people in the army also feel that it is inappropriate to hand over the power of tightening money and food to such a person. After all, this matter It is also directly involved in the military foundation in the south.
However, as a person involved, Yang Shu behaved very calmly. He did not look at the faces of others in the hall, but looked up at the emperor sitting above him.
How can the royal "big exam" allow other people to make irresponsible remarks?
How could the emperor's top priority, which he had worked so hard to plan for decades, change its course just because of the opposition of a few ministers?
However, Yang Jian did not retaliate immediately. Instead, he raised his finger and pointed at Bai Changqing, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, who had been standing in the train and did not come out, and said: "Bai Changqing, what does your Ministry of Revenue say? Can you cooperate with King Ling to complete this important task?"
The emperor was curious about why Bai Changqing, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who was supposed to be the leader, was motionless today, so he named Bai Changqing. He was looking forward to whether the Minister of the Ministry of Finance would have other words to say.
"Return to your Majesty. I propose a strategy, and your Majesty will decide the specific direction. No matter what your Majesty decides in the end, I will do my best to complete it."
Yang Jian's smile grew wider, he waved his hand and said in a more refined voice: "I'm asking you, can you or can you not?"
"My lord, I can!"
