Hearing such news, Mo Xichao was very surprised, frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Take it in." ”

"No. ”

Xuanyi pushed the door in and handed the thick record document in his hand to Mo Xichao.

Mo Xichao stretched out his hand to take it, and looked at the record on it carefully, until he turned to the middle, he was slightly stunned. Then settle down and keep looking.

Until he finished reading it, Mo Xichao's brows were still condensed into a pimple, and he muttered to himself: "Why is everything screwed together?"

After a long time, he closed the thick record, turned his head to Liu Qi and said, "Ah Qi, go back to your subordinates, it is estimated that it will not be long before the chamberlain will come to deliver the holy decree." ”

Liu Qi said inexplicably: "Big brother, what's the matter?"

Mo Xichao sighed helplessly: "The Liu family, it's going to be rehabilitated......"

When Liu Cunxiao heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his eyes suddenly turned red, and his whole body began to tremble irrepressibly, and he said in disbelief: "Supreme, this is going to rehabilitate the Liu family?"

Mo Xichao nodded heavily, and then said with a wry smile: "Yes, the Liu family is about to be rehabilitated...... The plan can't catch up with the changes, the original plan was to straighten things out first, and then wait until next year to rehabilitate the Liu family, but as a result, Hai Zhenru's sudden promotion has brought countless troubles, and now Mu Xiang broke out at this time, disrupting all Xuanyi's plans. What's more, it's still ...... in the north of the city."

Speaking of this, he shook his head, and then said with a smile: "Anyway, it's a good thing for the Liu family, Ah Qi, go back to the Ya subordinates, and the inner servant should be there soon." ”

Liu Cunxiao took a long breath, nodded heavily, and then turned to leave.

Mo Xichao looked at his back when he left, his face became very solemn, and after a while, he hurriedly left the general office on his horse and galloped in the direction of the eldest princess's mansion.

This matter must be discussed with Zhi'an.

……

Push back a little bit so that things can be made clear.

In the early morning of the Qixi Festival, the people of the capital are planning to return to the "Lang Qing Concubine" today. The ministers at the top of the power of the big business have no such thoughts at all.

Today there is a small court meeting, and the heads of the Eight Great Pavilion Dynasty and the Six Yamen will discuss some more important matters with the current Supreme in this small court meeting.

For example, the direction of disaster relief in Shandong, such as the repair of the Yellow River in the border prefectures, such as the vacancies of officials in the prefectures and counties, such as the chaos in the Xuanyi Forbidden Army these days, and all kinds of ......

Big business is too big, and there are too many things to worry about, although there are many officials who prevaricate, but the matter that affects the center must be dealt with as soon as possible.

Among the Eight Ministers' Cabinet, Kong Liqing's defeat is basically an ironclad matter. Because he was impeached, he could only stay at home, waiting for the final results of the investigation, so he could not participate in this small pilgrimage. And another cabinet minister, Hai Zhenru, who has already been appointed, is not of enough grade for the time being because he does not have a clear will, and he cannot participate.

Therefore, today's central cabinet is only involved in other countries.

"The repair of the Yellow River cannot be delayed...... Sanxiang Meng Chong often said: "Although the first emperor has repaired it in the twenty-third year, the embankment is still sound, but at present, because the Yellow River is too fierce, the flood control embankments of the provinces along the river have been damaged in many places. ”

As soon as Meng Chongchang finished saying this, Wang Pingzhi, the fifth minister, said coldly: "Meng Xiang, the treasury has been empty in order to support the border army, and the household department has received the tax revenue in Shu for five years. Now that you want to build the river embankment, where will you tell the old man where the money will come from, and where will the money and grain come from?"

The two ministers began to quarrel over the matter, and then the courtiers belonging to their respective factions joined in, but fortunately it was only a debate, and it did not seem to be very chaotic when you said that I would take the stage.

Emperor Xinwu sat on the dragon couch and listened quietly to their quarrel, his face expressionless.

After half a ring, the public said that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and the quarrel finally ended.

Seeing that they were quiet, Xinwu laughed, sat up straight, and set his eyes on Prime Minister Lin Weizhong, who was sitting on the left hand side, and said: "I was in power at the beginning, and I was still too young to understand some things. Mr. Weizhong, when I was not yet on the throne, I was like my master, and now, what can I teach me?"

Lin Weizhong arched his hand and said with a smile: "Back to the Supreme, the Yellow River naturally has to be repaired, otherwise if it is cut off, it will be a disaster for my big businessman." However, in order for the border soldiers to guard the border with peace of mind, it is impossible to cause the treasury to lose money. Therefore, the current treasury is not enough to support such a large-scale repair, and the state is also very difficult. According to the old minister's opinion, if not, how about letting the local people raise their own funds? The Supreme can order the tax reduction and exemption of the prefectures along the Yellow River for two years, so that the urgent need can be solved. ”

When Emperor Xinwu heard this, he smiled and nodded, then looked at Sun Bolun, the second prime minister who was sitting on the right side of Xiudun, and asked, "What does Mr. Bolun think?"

Sun Bolun opened his squinting eyes, and hurriedly saluted: "The old minister thinks that what Mr. Weizhong said is reasonable. ”

Emperor Xinwu ignored his completely mud-like statement, nodded, and then laughed lightly, and said: "In the twenty-third year of the first emperor, not long after the end of the war against the West, the whole country was recuperating and recuperating, and the treasury just had a surplus...... At that time, I was the prince of the prison country, and I was led by the Son of Heaven, and you said that the Yellow River was going to be repaired, and I and my father remembered the suffering of the Li people, and directly used the seal. ”

"Mr. Meng, you said at the time that after the Yellow River was repaired this time, it should ensure the safety of both sides of the strait for ten years, and you swore at that time, but Mr. Meng, now it has only been three years, no, two and a half years, and you actually said that the Yellow River has been repaired again? ”

"I don't ask where the money that can be built for ten years has gone, you know it, and I know it. I've heard the saying 'see through but don't say it, you're still a good friend', and although my words have been made clear, I don't embarrass you, after all, you're a solid person. ”

"Thinking that you are an old minister, I will also give you one last chance, the Yellow River must be repaired, how can the people of the world live up to it? How can I ignore their life and death for the sake of a momentary mood? There is no money in the treasury, but I still have some surplus in the inner treasury, anyway, it should be enough to repair the Yellow River, but I will send someone to monitor it, and anyone who is deductible and greedy for ink will be beheaded. Mr. Meng, I hope you will continue to 'work hard'. ”

These words were too damning, Meng Chongchang was already in a cold sweat, bowed down and said: "The minister must be broken to pieces......

Emperor Xinwu waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't talk more if you take advantage of me." Mr. Meng, remember, the taxes of the state capitals on both sides of the Yellow River are not a small one, and if they are less than a penny, I will cut off a head, well, of course, it is the head of an official. ”

What he said was not so much to Meng Chongchang as it was to respond to Lin Weizhong.

Seeing Meng Chongchang bowing down in a little panic, Emperor Xinwu turned his gaze to Lin Weizhong again and said, "Mr. Weizhong, do you think this loss is worth it?"

Lin Weizhong immediately stood up and said, "The Supreme Sees Thousands of Miles. ”

Emperor Xinwu shook his head: "Today, I will eat this loss first, but I don't want to have a next time, the treasury of the big merchants will be empty, and some people will eat with fat brains." You always tell me that the big merchants are now singing and dancing, but what I see is full of holes, and I don't want to say anything superfluous, I hope you can do it yourself. ”

"Waiting for the ...... of Death"

All the courtiers bowed in unison.

They have said it too many times that it is not painful, "ten thousand deaths" and the like are just slogans, who can really go to ten thousand deaths?

Xinwu shook his head indifferently and said with a smile: "Next topic." ”

Yang Junwu, the seventh minister, went out and said: "The case of the cabinet minister Kong Liqing has basically been investigated, although Kong Liqing said that there was a lot of corruption during his tenure, and his family members and slaves also had all kinds of illegal things, but the minister thought that no matter what happened to Kong, after all, he had been in the fourth phase and had contributed to the country, if the punishment was too heavy, it would be a loss of the court's strictness. ”

"After consulting with the lords of the Three Law Divisions, I feel that I should be dealt with lightly. He was demoted to a commoner, exiled to the land of Lingnan Miasma, and his family property was filled into the treasury, and his family was exiled with him. In this way, it can correct the law of the court and protect the face of the court. ”

Emperor Xinwu snorted, then looked at Lin Weizhong again, and said, "What does the old prime minister think?"

Lin Weizhong pondered for a moment and said: "In this matter, it is inconvenient for the old minister to ask more, the old minister is Kong Liqing's teacher, and he should try to avoid suspicion." With this student, the old minister is also heartbroken. ”

Emperor Xinwu's gaze turned to Sun Bolun, who was now drowsy, and asked, "What does Mr. Bolun think?"

Sun Bolun seemed to suddenly wake up, and hurriedly said: "The old minister thinks that what Mr. Weizhong said is extremely ......."

This is patronizing and dozing off, and I didn't hear the topic clearly. Sun Bolun's answer made the courtiers in the palace have a sense of ridicule, since this Chongyuan candidate took over the post of deputy minister, he is basically a mud bodhisattva, and has never published any evidence, and the most he said is "what Mr. Weizhong said is extremely true" or "The Supreme and the Prime Minister have a clear vision".

is far worse than the previous prime minister Zhao Jishan, at least Zhao Jishan, the mad dog raised by the first emperor, no matter what it is, he dares to bite Lin Weizhong. This one is good, and he only cares about sleeping at the court. So, everyone privately called him the prime minister of wood or the second prime minister of the mud fetus.

Sun Bolun also seemed to sense that something was wrong with the atmosphere at this time, and quickly stood up, and said with a look of panic: "The old minister is faint, he is really old, and people who are about to die will inevitably be a little lacking in energy......
