In the political hall, hundreds of civil and military officials entered one after another.
Huang Laosi was wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown, sitting on the dragon chair.
In previous dynasties, when the emperor started his dynasty, all the officials entered the palace first, then bowed their heads and saluted. The emperor then slowly entered the palace and sat on the dragon chair like a great man. No matter what time it was, the emperor did not wait for his ministers to say this, and the etiquette and law were inconsistent.
However, Huang Laosi was not a rule-abiding person. Sometimes he would come early and go directly to the political hall to sit, approve memorials, and wait for the ministers to enter the hall and start the court.
Sun Anshui, the eunuch's close servant, counted a few words before shouting "Start the court" at the top of his lungs.
First, the six departments, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers, spoke. The minister remained silent, and the right minister came out to speak in turn.
Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the first to go out, and the situation was very good. The officials in the court were very nice, praised by the people, and had impeccable morals. Especially the students who ranked first in the imperial examination last year had already entered the six ministries and nine temples to observe the government. Although they were serving tea, running errands, and flattering, they were At this stage, we continue to accumulate experience and integrate it into our work. Everyone enjoys it. One word, good, two words, extremely good, three words, really good!
The left minister of the Ministry of Revenue has not returned to Beijing. The right minister Qiu Wanshan spoke on behalf of him. Lao Qiu opened his mouth with clichés. Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Huang Laosi, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue rolled up their sleeves and worked hard to clarify the national taxation, which was better than last year. It's 30% less. Emperor, don't be angry. Logically speaking, it should be 40% less than last year. Let's think about the problem from another angle. That means you don't have to get angry. Emperor, you are great. Chew. Of course, Emperor. If you take the time to kill a certain official, Zuo Shilang, your tax revenue may turn from a loss to a profit next year.
Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is out of work again. Emperor, this idiot is talking about me. If you don’t criticize me, this day will never end. You must give me justice...
Before he finished speaking, Lao Qiu went off to work again. You look like a fair-minded person, but you are a national thief, a moth, a shameless bastard, Lao Pahui, Rinen Niang, you piece of shit...
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out. You two, please stop arguing. We haven’t understood what the six departments were doing yet. Let us finish talking first, OK or not.
Qiu Wanshan returned to the class, O damn K.
Li Wenli, who was too lazy to accompany Qiu Wanshan to embarrass himself, also said "K".
Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, cleared his throat, "Emperor, the imperial examination is about to take place again, and our Rites Department is busy again, but don't worry, our Rites Department is united and insists on following the fourth brother. We will go all the way to the dark side, and we must rely on you to get things done." Pu, you can rest assured, and by the way, Qiu Wanshan is a bastard, he knows what the superiors call him every day, and the subordinates think that Mr. Li Wenli is a good person, but Qiu Wanshan is not a good person.
Qiu Wanshan is out of work, everyone, come and see, Zhou Youwei is Li Wenli's dog, Xiao Zhou, bark twice quickly, woof woof woof.
Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War, who was supposed to be on duty, was a general himself. Every one of the people in the Ministry of War was a master who watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. They just watched the excitement without saying a word.
As for the Punishment Department, it was not their turn and it was difficult to interrupt.
Not to mention the Ministry of Works, the left minister Chu Wensheng left the capital, the right minister Guang Haishang went to the funeral, and the minister Liu Xun did not come to court. The Ministry of Works is studying how to provide disaster relief. It has been researching for almost a month.
At the center of a country, in the Hall of Political Affairs, Qiu Wanshan was one to two. After burying Li Wenli, he would bury Zhou Youwei. After burying Zhou Youwei, he would then bury Li Wenli without falling behind at all.
Huang Laosi watched the commotion for half a stick of incense. It was like his reflex arc was growing in the wrong place. He slapped the bookcase and shut up all of me. How can I be so noisy and noisy every day? No matter how noisy I am, I will let Sun An will give each of you three a knife and go out to make a noise.
After both sides ceased fighting, Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department came out and forced Lai Lai to death, saying that although there were many refugees outside the city, the public security in the city was very good, and it had nothing to do with Jingzhao Mansion. The main reason was that the Punishment Department managed it well.
No one from the Ministry of Industry spoke up. The Sixth Ministry had finished its work, and the people from the Nine Temples were just making up the numbers. Unless there was a special period or they took the initiative to do something, it would not be their turn. In the end, the ministers started to talk to each other about business. The most disturbing thing recently They are just refugees, but don’t worry, fourth brother, we ministers have all shared the burden with you. Just these few waves of refugees, at least tens of thousands of people, guess what, we almost bought them all, or at least half of them. , gave them food and drink, and gave them land to grow. Although we may have sent them to our hometown far, far away, and they had to make a trip, we did our best.
A few more courtiers jumped out, "Oh, Fourth Brother, our love for the people can be seen from time to time. When the refugees first arrived, we bought them at full price. It cost several hundred coins to buy a refugee. Others I bought them all when they were on sale, so I got a bargain. Sometimes you can buy a big one for only 100 cents. If you go early, you can buy one and get one free. If you buy a big one, you can get a small one.
Huang Laosi's face is hidden under the jade crown, and there is no trace of emotion or anger, as if he is a large figure without emotion.
When Li Wenli mentioned the matter of refugees, he glanced at Zhou Youwei. Zhou Youwei turned his head again, and his eyes met in the air with several familiar ministers. This guy was out of work again.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Huang Laosi nodded slightly, and Sun An shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yan."
"Originally, this matter is not a matter for the Ministry of Rites, but it is an eyesore. After learning about it, I mentioned it in the palace." Zhou Youwei glanced at Sun An slightly and continued: "Yesterday, Deputy Qianqiying The commander seized more than twenty Jingzhong grain stores."
Zhou Youwei didn't dare to mention King Langya, he only talked about Qianqi Camp.
Huang Laosi frowned when he heard this. This was the first time he heard about this.
After Changxian returned to the palace last night, he went straight to the East Palace to share his experience with his elder brother. He did not report to Huang Laosi. Tong Gui stayed away all night because he had to distribute rice outside the city, and Chen Yan went to Xiao County, so No one mentioned this matter to Huang Laosi at all.
"Why the seizure?"
"It's... it's because the price of rice is too high." Zhou Youwei had already prepared a draft and said tentatively: "Qianqi Camp is not under the jurisdiction of the six ministries. As for the errands, the ministers and others have never been clear about this. I just asked Your Majesty, is the rice grain sold by merchants under the control of the Qianqi Camp in the capital?"
That's the thing. Everyone knows that Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army and is only responsible to the emperor. As the emperor's lackey, Qianqiying can do whatever he wants. But you know, you can't say that. The country has its own laws. , the courtiers cannot say this, and the emperor cannot say this either.
So the implication of Zhou Youwei is, isn't the main job of these scoundrels monitoring us? Why do they control food prices?
Huang Laosi looked at Zhou Youwei coldly.
Qianqiying can do whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with you.
Although he thought so, he couldn't say the same. Huang Laosi looked at Sun An, who shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on.
Huang Laosi is not stupid. He doesn't understand the cause and effect, so he will definitely not speak easily. However, he can also see that Zhou Youwei is just a "representative" and many ministers want to ask about this matter.
"Your Majesty, I, Ma Rui of the Jingzhao Mansion, have something to report. I know the inside story about Qianqi Camp."
After saying this, my beloved Ma Rui, the number one scapegoat in the capital who rarely went to court, left for work.
