Chapter 796 The Carpenter Emperor 51
Liu Shimin looked at Fang Shoufu, whose eyes were full of concern and the anxious expression on his face was not fake, so he had no choice but to tell him the fact that the seventh son of the emperor was ill and the emperor hugged him all night.
Unexpectedly, Fang Congzhe exploded immediately after hearing this, and almost touched Liu Shimin's face with his fingers.
"You just let the emperor stay up all night?"
Liu Shimin leaned back and said in a low voice: "The emperor didn't go to bed until dawn, chief assistant, please keep your voice down. Yesterday it was our family's turn to rest, and our family took over at Yinshi."
"No. The old man wants to impeach the Imperial Hospital and the Feng family." Fang Congzhe lowered his voice, still indignant.
Liu Shimin grinned wryly, and persuaded in a low voice: "Shoufu, the imperial physician advised the emperor not to bring Qilang over last night. But the emperor is worried that others will take care of Qilang. You also know the emperor's heart. Yes. There is no one in the inner court, so if you impeach the Feng family, it will eventually fall to the emperor, but it is just adding another embarrassment to the emperor."
Fang Congzhe was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized that there was no queen mother or queen in the inner court.Concubine Li Zhuang was entrusted to the Jin Dynasty by Wulang, and she was just a small selection of servants before, and she had to pay respects to Concubine Feng Jing.It is impossible for her to rape the Feng family.
Concubine Feng is Zhu Youxiao's concubine.It's okay to order to reprimand the concubine's mother if she really made a serious mistake or killed the emperor's heir. It's just that the nanny ate a few mouthfuls of frozen pears, but it was also an accident.
"This old man wanted to impeach the □□government, so he sent him to the palace without adjusting/teaching him well. The emperor is a young man, and it would hurt his health if he didn't sleep all night."
Liu Shimin looked at the grizzled Shoufu who was angry, and thought that the old man was also confused, forgetting that the government was also under the control of the inner court.There are no empresses or empress dowagers in charge in the inner court, and finally they have to be reprimanded by the supervisor of ceremonies.
Forget it, the old man's concern for the emperor is not a lie, it would be nice to have a place where he can vent his anger.
Fang Congzhe returned to the office of the cabinet ministers, and told Ye Xianggao, Liu Yixiu, and Han Yu what happened in the inner court last night, and finally said bitterly: "There are so many things in the previous court every day, and the inner court does not rest."
Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty is not young anymore. It's time to start a marriage."
Liu Yixiu explained to Ye Xianggao, "Your Majesty will observe filial piety for three years."
Han Yu added, "If we persuade His Majesty to get married, the emperor will definitely say that Shenzong and Guangzong have not been buried with money. This matter cannot be mentioned."
Ye Xianggao worried: "In the past, Shenzong was disliked by Mu Zong because he was born of a palace girl. Guangzong was also ignored for decades because his biological mother was a palace girl. Your Majesty doesn't choose a woman he likes now. Do you want the courtiers to watch the descendants of the Tian family repeat the mistakes of their ancestors?"
Han Yu muttered: "Brother Jinqing, if you don't believe me, you can submit a booklet and urge His Majesty to choose a palace woman. You will definitely be blocked by the emperor and the court without money. Even if Brother Zhonghan impeaches the government, you will be prevaricated by the lack of manpower in the end." gone."
Thinking of the continuous layoffs in the inner court, the number of court ladies and eunuchs is close to the expected value of a thousand. The expressions on the faces of the four cabinet ministers are different, but they all understand that the new emperor really wants to reduce the inner court's expenditure.
Ye Xianggao really didn't expect the emperor to say that he would keep his filial piety for three years.The young emperor aroused even greater enthusiasm in him.With a light cough, he drew the attention of the others to himself.
"Your Majesty will be 17 in the new year, and it's time to start preparing for the wedding. I heard that this year's autumn tax is collected according to the new law. In a few days, all the ministries will gather together to make the annual budget, and there will always be money for the funeral. After the second emperor's burial next year, the emperor's marriage will be arranged, and the marriage will not be until the end of the next year at the earliest, and the filial piety period will be over by then."
What Ye Xianggao said was very reasonable and was immediately approved by the three of them.Fang Congzhe dropped the idea of impeaching the government, and said loudly: "After your majesty gets married, there will be people in charge of the inner court, and there will be no such thing as asking the emperor to take care of the younger brother." After thinking about it, he was not reconciled.
"Guangzong's concubine has not officially been given the title of concubine. The old man thinks that the Feng family should not be given the title of concubine."
Ye Xianggao patted him on the shoulder and persuaded: "We know that you feel sorry for His Majesty's hard work of staying up all night, but Feng's title is related to the face of the Seventh Prince. She will be more careful about this matter in the future. That's her Parents and children. Let's not make extra troubles. Otherwise, the emperor will be in trouble."
Fang Congzhe was persuaded by Ye Xianggao, hummed a few words and stopped talking about the inner court.They are busy these days.The budgets of the various ministries have come out, and they have to go over them first, and cut off a batch of projects that are too unreasonable, bluffing, and fancy names that require expenses, and then discuss similar projects.
The first is the Ministry of War.
The first one is Xiong Tingbi's 200 million project.Although it was rejected by the emperor, the cabinet had to give the Ministry of War and Xiong Tingbi a written reason for their rejection.Xiong Tingbi cannot be dismissed simply because the money is not enough, otherwise he can still think that the plan is reasonable and correct.
The second is the military salary of Nine Sides, which owes nearly 400 million.
Do you want to reissue the full amount?
All four are worried.Ye Xianggao remembered Fang Congzhe's retelling of the emperor's "failure to pay the life money in time", and sighed: "This military salary will be recorded as a full reissue first. After all the subsequent items have been reviewed, we will look back."
Several people understood what Ye Xianggao said, and before they knew it, Ye Xianggao became the invisible chief assistant, presiding over the affairs of the cabinet.Of course, this also depends on Fang Congzhe's character and his willingness to give in.
The third is the ordnance plan of the Ministry of War. The artillery project alone costs 200 million taels, not to mention other fire systems, knives and guns, military uniforms, war horses, etc.
Han Yu snorted, "I think we have to ask Jin Yiwei to go to the craftsman's room to verify the cost of these ordnance from the Ministry of War, as we did last time when we increased troops in Liaodong. Then we will figure out how much to allocate."
Li Ruhua, Shangshu of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is also discussing the budget of the Ministry of War for next year with Wang Yingjiao and Bi Ziyan, who was sent by the emperor to be promoted to Taipu Siqing.
Bi Ziyan was born in the third year of Longqing (1559). He is 51 years old this year and meets the age requirements proposed by Zhu Youxiao and Zhou Jiamo to prepare a young and vigorous servant for the household department.At the age of 19, he won the imperial examination, and at the age of 23, he passed the Jinshi examination.He has successively served as the Tuiguan of Songjiang, the head of the Criminal Ministry, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Industry, the deputy envoy of Hedong, the political envoy of Taomin Bingbei, the inspector of Yulin West Road, and the political envoy of Youbu.This perfect resume report shows that Bi Ziyan has experience in the Ministry of Punishment, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War, Ministry of Officials, and Ministry of Households.
In particular, his final inspector at Yulin West Road was responsible for assessing the administration of officials and criminal law matters within the province; and the position of the chief envoy covered more content.
One is to manage officials at all levels such as government and prefectures, pay salaries on schedule, evaluate political performance, and report to the Ministry of Officials.
The second is to announce government orders and announce government affairs and decrees assigned by the imperial court to all governments, departments, prefectures, and counties.and urge its implementation.
The third is to be responsible for the collection of taxes from all over the province, and to be responsible for the province's fiscal revenue and expenditure.Statistics of civil content such as household registration, taxation, number of people, and number of fields in all provinces
The last item is responsible for the three-year Qiu Wei.That is, the human examination.
He has accomplished all these very well, which is why Zhou Jiamo nominated him as the servant of the household department.In view of Bi Ziyan's situation on Yulin West Road, Li Ruhua immediately nodded in agreement.Wang Yingjiao, who came to the Ministry of Household Affairs later, knew the candidate for the right servant proposed by Zhou Jiamo, and understood that this was a reserve to succeed the Minister of the Household Department in the future, and immediately agreed.
After all, both he and Li Ruhua are 70 years old.
Zhu Youxiao read Bi Ziyan's resume and previous assessment results submitted by Zhou Jiamo, and immediately wrote a big "Zhun" with his own hand.
"Zhou Qing, with you as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it is too correct to entrust the selection of hundreds of officials to you. Putting the right people in the right position will get twice the result with half the effort. You should be credited with your great contribution first."
At that time, Zhou Jiamo was a little embarrassed to be praised by the young emperor.
"The old minister chose him as the Minister of the Household Department because Bi Jing was an all-rounder. Even if he doesn't go to the Household Department, he is suitable for any place in the Sixth Department."
Zhu Youxiao also joked at the time: "Zhou Qing, such an all-rounder, I want to beat him up."
Zhou Jiamo almost rolled his eyes when he said it, would such a talent need to be beaten?Think beautifully!
However, he still considered the face of the emperor, and replied seriously: "This year, the old minister is doing a lot of planning for local officials, but he found some very good officials. When the next year's Beijing inspection, I hope to gather a dozen for Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao just joked with Zhou Jiamo casually, seeing that Zhou Jiamo was serious, he quickly made up for it.
"Zhou Qing, take your time. Now most of the officials from the six departments are in place, so there is no rush."
So Bi Ziyan was invited to talk to the Ministry of Officials yesterday, and today he was ordered to participate in the work of the Ministry of Households as the minister of Taipusi.The Ministry of Officials is currently handling the relevant procedures for his household assistant certification.
It is customary for local officials to be transferred to the capital to be downgraded.There is a huge gap between being a second-rank envoy in real power and a third-rank minister of the imperial court, but there is no room for Bi Ziyan's disobedience.He never dreamed that in less than half a year, he would be promoted to be the third-rank Hubu Youshilang.In particular, the Son of Heaven wants the Ministry of Households to be in charge of the wealth and power of the world, and to prepare the annual budgets of each ministry. The Minister of the Household Department and Zuo Shilang are both 70 years old.The promising future prompted Bi Ziyan to be more cautious and work harder.
Xiong Tingbi's budget for the Ministry of War, which was spread in front of the three of them, was directly rejected.But Bi Ziyan also put forward his own ideas.
"The lower officials believe that the three-party arrangement proposed by Xiong Shilang of the Ministry of War is a plan worthy of deliberation and consideration. Liaodong is now building fortresses. When each fort is invaded by a small group of slaves, it will actively dispatch troops to destroy the enemy. When there are a large number of enemy troops, they will close their forts and defend themselves. The nearby fortresses can rescue each other. It can not only protect the people in Liao, but also keep the people's hearts in Liao. If Jiannu cross these forts and come to Shanhaiguan, they will still It can cut off Jiannu's retreat."
Bi Ziyan's explanation of Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement aroused the interest of Li Ruhua and Wang Yingjiao, and they looked at Bi Ziyan encouragingly, waiting for him to continue.
""In Denglai and Tianjin, the navy Fuzhen was set up, and the moderate area of Shanhaiguan was adjusted strategically. Once the Jiannu had to slow down the offensive due to food and grass, the expanded Guangning cavalry could confront the Jiannu cavalry head-on.The Denglai and Tianjin naval forces can launch attacks from sea and land, and go straight to the lair of Jiannu.
This will force the main force of the establishment of slaves to return to the army to save themselves.
Once this situation emerges, the Guangning cavalry can take advantage of the victory and pursue it;
If the main force of the slave building did not retreat, after its old nest was destroyed, there would be no supplies, women and children would be killed, and the main force of the slave building through the conquered tribes would immediately fall apart.
The only result of a broken army is defeat. "
Li Ruhua and Wang Yingjiao were a little stunned by Bi Ziyan who talked eloquently. They didn't expect Xiong Tingbi's tripartite arrangement to be interpreted in this way.If 200 million can completely solve the troubles of Liaodong, it is definitely worth investing this money.
Li Ruhua and Wang Yingjiao looked at each other, they were both seasoned people who wanted to seek the country, and they immediately thought of Xiong Tingbi's notes, which he didn't write so clearly.
Wang Yingjiao tentatively said: "Why don't you tell the emperor what you just said just now, Jing Zeng. Let's make room for the budget for the Ministry of War. We only say that the plan is not detailed enough, and it is not easy to evaluate whether the project can be established. At the same time, I urge the Ministry of War to let Did Xiong Tingbi write his tripartite abbreviated arrangement in more detail and perfection?"
Li Ruhua pondered for a while and nodded slowly, "Jing Zeng, you go and write the notebook first, and then I will personally send it to His Majesty, and discuss with the Son of Heaven the feasibility of the three-party arrangement."
Bi Ziyan was a little excited. The recognition from the two big bosses of the household department and the help he jumped to the front of the imperial court was something he could not even dream of.
