As soon as the room was quiet, the curtain outside the door was lifted, and another official stepped in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ren Xiaoyao sighed, this is endless, isn't it much more direct for you to shoot fat people's ass? Why do you have to circle around me?

"This lord, don't worry, I will speak well for you in front of the new emperor, you better let me be quiet......" Ren Xiaoyao said without replying.

"Humph! Lord Ren, this official is not here to pat your ass! The officer who came in snorted heavily.

Ren Xiaoyao looked back in amazement, but saw that the person who came was none other than Du Songjun, the head of the household department.

"Yo, Du Shangshu, you come to the court in person...... Rest, huh? Ren Xiaoyao was full of smiles and greeted warmly.

Jun Songjun glared at him, and then snorted heavily: "Lord Ren is polite, this official specially came to you." ”

Ren Xiaoyao blinked and said with a smile: "How can the lower official, how can he dare to work Du Shangshu to find me in person?" If you shout at the top of your voice, the subordinate will immediately appear in front of you......"

"Humph! I'm afraid that the official won't be able to call you, Lord Ren, since you and I are ministers in the same hall, the official will say something directly. Jun Songjun stared at Ren Xiaoyao and said: "When the emperor was alive, he had a decree that his lord would hand over all the dirty silver confiscated from the prince's mansion to the treasury, and the official was in charge of the treasury, but he didn't see any action from the lord, may I ask Lord Ren, what do you mean?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes widened in astonishment: "Du Shangshu, are you mistaken?" Didn't the lower official hand it over? The proceeds of the raid of the prince's mansion have been ordered by the lower officials to hand over all the money to the national treasury, and there is not a penny missing. ”

Jun Songjun's face twitched a few times sharply, took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Ren, you have to rely on your conscience to speak and do things, the silver you handed over to the treasury was checked by the official, and it was only 500,000 taels, Lord Ren, are you teasing the official?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Du Shangshu, don't give such a big hat to the lower officials, how dare the lower officials tease you?" It's true, the lower officials have indeed all been handed over to the national treasury......"

"Then why is it only 500,000 taels?"

"Well...... Ren Xiaoyao rolled his eyes and said, "Why is it only 500,000 taels......

Jun Songjun's expression froze: "Yes, why is it only 500,000 taels?" ”

"Because...... It was originally only 500,000 taels. ”

Jun Songjun: "......"

Juniper-kun is feeling a little dizzy right now.

From the original intention, he is very reluctant to offend Ren Xiaoyao, aside from the fact that he was favored in front of the first emperor and the new emperor, he himself is not a good stubble that can be easily provoked, Du Songjun's son Du Xuan just chased him in the teahouse for a while, and he knocked out tens of thousands of taels of silver.

But no matter how difficult this thing is, it has to be done, the treasury is becoming more and more empty, and it is about to be repaired for the former emperor, and the enthronement ceremony for the new emperor is going to be held. The scholars and servants of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry have been chasing after him for the past two days, begging for food with a group of people called Hanako, making him almost collapse.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, he had to give amnesty to the world according to the usual practice, reduce and exempt money and grain taxes, and the treasury saw that there was no income.

But...... Why did this guy Ren Xiaoyao lead the troops to raid the Prince's Mansion? What went into his mouth, can you still take it out?

"Lord Ren, you should take pity on the official and hand over all the property of the prince's mansion, the former prince raised private soldiers to rebel, and he can afford more than 80,000 people, but the official doesn't believe that he only has 500,000 taels of silver in his mansion." Du Shangshu's attitude changed suddenly, and his tone was helpless and pitiful.

Ren Xiaoyao rolled his eyes, stilted Erlang's legs, and said leisurely: "Du Shangshu, you also know that it is not easy for the former prince to raise 80,000 people, and his family is not a gold mine, even if he has money, he has thrown it into the bottomless pit of raising private soldiers, and only 500,000 taels of silver are found from his mansion, which is really reasonable and logical......"

Ren Xiaoyao said and grinned at Juniper: "...... Silver, I handed over a lot of money, as for the hard work of sending soldiers to help the prince's mansion clean, the lower officials understand the difficulties of Lord Shangshu, so I won't look for you for the time being, and I'll talk about it later, hehe......"

When Jun Songjun heard this, his body shook for a while, and the whole person felt as if he had been knocked on a dull stick, his brain was buzzing, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

I knew it, I knew it! It's hard to ask this guy for money, and after a few rounds, now it's that I owe him money, who am I going to reason......

"Woo-" Juniper-kun's face twitched, and a painful whimper came out of his mouth.

"Du Shangshu, what's wrong with you? Yes! Are you crying? "Ren Xiaoyao was frightened, the old man was also an official of the second-grade household department, why was his psychology so fragile?

Trembling and pointing at Ren Xiaoyao, Jun Songjun's face was pale, as if he was swinging, and his tone was infinitely resentful: "Ren Xiaoyao, you ...... You're too much of a bully! …… Wait! You wait for me! ”

After speaking, Jun Songjun flicked his sleeves fiercely and left without looking back.

Ren Xiaoyao smacked his mouth and hissed - why is this a little familiar? is clearly like a little hooligan who has suffered a loss, and he goes back to move the rescuers, has the old man been on the street before he became an official? Now that he has left the rivers and lakes, there are still his legends on the rivers and lakes?

Ren Xiaoyao stared at Jun Songjun's back and sneered a few times, what entered Lao Tzu's mouth, is it so easy to take? Is it easy for me to work hard to earn two hard-earned money?

※※※

Not long after, a group of eunuchs and officials from various ministries came over with the fat man, and the fat man opened the curtain of the door to the room and stepped into the door, while the rest of them honestly guarded the door. The fat man's expression was a little depressed, he glanced at Ren Xiaoyao, and sighed before speaking.

Ren Xiaoyao glanced at him: "Hurry up for the enthronement ceremony, right?" ”

The fat man nodded: "After tomorrow's small funeral, the Ministry of Rites will issue my father's edict in the Jinluan Palace, and then I will officially ascend the throne." ”

Ren Xiaoyao sighed: "When I see you in the future, I will have to kowtow, alas, ......"

The fat man smiled: "You don't have to kowtow when no one is around, let's still do the same, I can become this emperor, most of it is your credit." Between the two of us, let's talk about friends first, and then about monarchs and ministers. ”

"You're here to find me?"

The fat man nodded, smiled at Ren Xiaoyao, and said, "Brother Ren, there is good news or bad news, which one do you listen to first?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao's face twitched, and whenever the fat man said this, it meant that both were bad news, and the difference was bad and worse.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Xiaoyao improved his psychological endurance and said bravely: "Listen to the bad first." ”

"Bad...... the fat man's little eyes rolled, and then stretched out his hand to him: "Give money!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao was startled and stepped back: "When did I owe you money?" Aren't you blackmailing me? ”

"Jun Songjun came to me just now to complain, saying that you bullied him, and so are you, the old man is in his fifties, why are you so angry that he has a handful of snot and tears, I can't bear to look at it."

"How did I know he was such an old man who could get hurt so easily......"

"Du Shangshu said, he can't be a household secretary, if you don't return the money, he will resign and stop doing it, whoever he loves should go."

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes widened: "It's not that serious, right?" Don't you just get angry with him, look at his stinginess......"

The fat man sighed, looking at Ren Xiaoyao's eyes and looking pitiful: "Brother Ren, do you know how much tax my Hua Dynasty paid into the treasury in a year?" ”

"I don't know."

The fat man pitifully stretched out five fingers: "Ten million taels of silver." ”

"So little?" Ren Xiaoyao blinked, "The amount of silver my Ren family earns in a year is estimated to be about this amount......

The fat man wiped his sweat and sighed infinitely: "So, I'm a poor emperor!" Now I am about to repair the mausoleum of my father, and my enthronement ceremony will be saved again and again, and I will get a million taels of silver, but at present there are less than two million taels left in the treasury, of which there are still salaries for the army, salaries for officials, paving roads, building embankments and temples, what is not to be spent on anything? ”

Glancing at Ren Xiaoyao, the fat man deliberately sighed heavily: "All in all, poor!" ”

Ren Xiaoyao slapped his thigh fiercely: "Go to the house!" ”

"Copy...... Whose house is it raiding? The fat man's eyes straightened.

"Whoever is a corrupt official will raid his house, and all the stolen family property will be filled into the treasury, won't he be rich?" Ren Xiaoyao smiled and had a bad idea: "...... I think Tobe Shangshu Jun Jungsan is very suspicious, do you want me to help you check him? ”

The fat man rolled his eyes, what's wrong with you being addicted to copying your home? As soon as I ascended the throne, I was busy copying the minister's house, how will I be the emperor in the future? Besides, if the whole Chinese Dynasty talks about corrupt officials, who is more corrupt than you?

"Brother Ren, I'll say it directly, the property of the Prince's Mansion ......"

Before the fat man finished speaking, Ren Yao was agitated, his body stepped back, and he stared at the fat man defensively: "Mine! ”

"Huh?" The fat man was dumbfounded, this is obviously dirty silver that is going to be filled into the treasury, how did it become yours?

"Words...... You can't say that, you also know that the treasury is empty at the moment, and what about the wealth of the Prince's Mansion......"

"Mine!" Ren Xiaoyao accentuated his tone and emphasized again.

"You...... Yours? The corners of the fat man's mouth twitched, and he was about to cry, he glanced at Ren Xiaoyao with great resentment, his lips spurted a few times, and finally sighed: "Okay, yours, it's all yours, I'll think of another way......"

After saying that, the fat man turned around and walked out in despair.

"Hey, come back." Ren Xiaoyao stopped him.

Affectionately hooked the fat man's shoulder, Ren Xiaoyao smiled and said: "Mine is yours, what is polite to me, I teased you just now, don't worry, I can't let you lose face when you are the emperor, the property of the prince's mansion is in my treasury, you send someone to count the warehouse, I estimate that if it is all exchanged for silver, there will be 10 million taels at least, fatty, you sent it, and you took a year's tax ...... from the treasury in vain."

The fat man grabbed Ren Xiaoyao's sleeve and wiped the tears on his fat face, and said gratefully: "I knew you wouldn't be so unrighteous, woo, you don't know wow, these two days for the silver, I have been worried, Jun Songjun ran to me here for three days and cried poorly, and I couldn't wipe my face and open my mouth with you, woo...... It's hard to kill me! ”

Ren Xiaoyao gently stroked the top of the fat man's head, and by the way, he withdrew his sleeves without a trace, and said softly: "Silly boy, if you have difficulties, tell me directly, if you have no difficulties, you have to tell me, who are the two of us?" You become the emperor, can I not earn face for you? Silver is a good thing, but no amount of it can match our friendship...... Hey, the bad news you just got was asking me for money, well, it's really bad news, so what's the good news? ”

Speaking of the good news, the fat man was in good spirits, and his fat face full of tears exuded brilliance, and he said excitedly: "The good news will definitely make you smile, hehe......"

"What is it?" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, could it be that this dead fat man's conscience found out and planned to send me ten or eight stunning beauties?

"A man has nothing more than a promotion and a fortune all his life, what is this wealth...... You can't send it for the time being, so I'm going to promote you to an official after I ascend the throne......"

"Liter...... Promotion? This time it was Ren Yao's turn to be dumbfounded.

The fat man nodded happily: "The position of the secretary of the ministry has been suspended for a long time, I plan to appoint you as the secretary of the ministry, tsk, the head of the six departments, in charge of the transfer and performance appraisal of officials in the world, brother Ren, congratulations......"

Ren Xiaoyao: "......"

"Look at this kid, I'm so happy that I can't speak......" The fat man patted Ren Xiaoyao's shoulder with a warm face: "Open up and be happy for a few days, and then get ready to take office!" Your Ren family has produced a scholar who is a dynasty scholar, glorifying the ancestors, no matter how good, I am happy for you......"

The fat man turned around and left, shaking his head and sighing as he walked: "The king, the sage, the world, the world, the image of the prosperous world, comfortable, too comfortable......"

Ren Xiaoyao stared at the fat man's back with straight eyes, and after a long time, he finally cried out.

Dead fatty, Lao Tzu is busy thinking about resignation at this moment, you actually promoted me to an official, are you careful? If you go home and know that I have been promoted again, you still have to strangle me to death?

※※※

The funeral ceremony was carried out in a busy and orderly manner, after the dress, Yang Duqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, ordered the bell tower of the palace to ring the bell, and summoned the ministers of civil and military affairs above the four grades in Beijing to gather in the Jinluan Palace, after the ministers arranged according to the court class of the early dynasty, Yang Duqing invited out the edict left by the emperor, in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, read it out loud, so after the ministers asked three times, the fat man resigned, the fat man finally put on the bright yellow five-clawed golden dragon robe, put on the golden winged dragon crown, and sat on the emperor dragon chair that symbolizes the supreme of the world.

The ministers wore court clothes, wore a beam crown, held a board in their hands, and solemnly and respectfully knelt down to the new emperor and bowed nine times, and shouted long live the mountain.

Trying to maintain the emperor's majestic expression, the fat man suppressed the excitement in his heart, once he only planned to be a peaceful and prosperous prince, like Ren Xiaoyao, to eat, drink and have fun as the only goal of his life, the world is unpredictable, once upon a time, he actually approached the court step by step, walked into the center of power, and even today he sat on the emperor's dragon chair justifiably, thinking back to the past, the fat man is like falling clouds at the moment, like he is having an unbelievable dream.

Looking at the Golden Palace, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs bowed to him respectfully, and the fat man suddenly felt that the feeling of holding power in his hands was so wonderful and satisfying, no wonder throughout the ages, countless people in order to get this thing, throwing their heads and spilling blood are also not hesitating, the wonder of power, maybe only after getting it, can be savored.

Sitting on the dragon chair that symbolizes the co-lord of the world, calmly accepting the worship of the courtiers, and holding the authority of the world, how can this feeling of dominating all beings be comparable to that of an obscure and unknown prince back then?

The fat man couldn't help but look at the dragon pillar near the gate of the Golden Palace, Ren Xiaoyao stood in the old position, and saw that Ren Xiaoyao was lazy, yawned with interest, and smacked his mouth boredly. As if sensing the fat man's gaze, Ren Xiaoyao raised his head and squeezed his eyes at him, and then grimaced.

Seeing his strange appearance, the fat man couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth slightly, he was just a little dizzy by the throne of power, after seeing Ren Xiaoyao, his mind suddenly cleared, and the corners of his mouth floated a little warm smile, and even his eyes softened.

The meaning of friends is not only to share happiness and suffering, but more importantly, when you are lost, you can quickly find yourself with just one glance.

After the new emperor ascended the throne, according to the etiquette system, when he discussed the name of the first emperor with his ministers, after the scholars of the three palaces, as well as the Hanlin Academy, and the officials of the six ministries discussed together, summarized the merits and deeds of the emperor during his reign, and finally set the name of the first emperor as "Emperor Wu".

Gangjiang is straightforward and martial, rigid and desireless, strong and unyielding. Loyalty, right and straight.

Restraining the chaos and saying that the military is recruited, so it can be determined.

Throughout the life of the former emperor, he did not do much in political affairs, but several times he sent troops to quell the civil unrest and the rebellion of the ministers, and during his reign, he adopted the policy of letting loose and retreated from the Turkic tiger and wolf division, and forced the Turkic countries that had been fighting for a hundred years to sign a treaty of inviolation, so that the people of the Chinese Dynasty were saved from military disasters, and the people of the Chinese Dynasty who suffered greatly from the war had a chance to breathe.

The name was set, and the next thing was the new emperor's decree to grant amnesty to prisoners all over the world, except for the crime of rebellion, the rest could be relieved. Then it is to reward the ministers, that is, to leave the old courtiers to the former emperor to add officials and promote them to show the kindness of the new emperor.

Under the emperor's throne, Yang Duqing, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, recited the holy decree one by one, and the ministers below should call long live when they should call long live, and praise our emperor for wisdom when they should praise our emperor. Everything went according to the procedure, and nothing went wrong.

Yang Duqing secretly wiped his sweat and rewarded the ministers, this is the last procedure, the new emperor's enthronement ceremony was finally completed under his auspices, without danger and without danger.

Yang Duqing was happy too early.

He forgot that there was such a time bomb as Ren Xiaoyao buried among the ministers, could he get it smoothly? Why doesn't he give you a bang?

When Yang Duqing read: "...... Hereditary first-class loyal and brave marquis, the general of the capital garrison Ren Yao, the hereditary first-class loyal prince, increased the number of 1,000 households, rewarded 1,000 taels of gold, 200 silk horses, and awarded the official department of Shangshu, and received the second rank. The unexpected happened.

Before the words fell, the ministers below "buzzed" and started to discuss. Is the new emperor's will too heavy? Many ministers opened their mouths, but considering that this was the new emperor's enthronement ceremony, they could not lose their honor, so they closed their mouths tightly, but the ministers all showed dissatisfied looks on their faces.

It is said that Ren Xiaoyao's contribution is not small, and he became a member of the court class with the policy of retreating from the Turks, and then saved the holy car several times and quelled the rebellion, I heard that even the rebellion of the former prince was also implemented by him, so his promotion to the rank of the prince was expected by the ministers, and the new emperor would give him the title to the prince of the country, and everyone had nothing to say, after all, the credit made by the people was there.

can add him to the official department, which is a bit outrageous.

What is the Ministry of Officials? It is the yamen in the first place of the six departments of the court, in charge of a series of important tasks such as the promotion and promotion of all officials in the Hua Dynasty, in other words, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials can be regarded as the first powerful minister of the court under one person and above tens of thousands of people.

Looking at the courtiers of the Chinese Dynasty for more than 100 years, who can sit in the position of a minister and an official at the age of less than 20? It's one of a kind! You are a hairy boy from the same Jinshi, even if you have made a lot of contributions, how can you sit in this position? The new emperor's will is too cronyistic, where does this move put the old ministers in the court?

Several officials raised their eyebrows, and they waited to go out to defend themselves, and the Hua Dynasty was not guilty of words, so they were not afraid of the emperor's blame.

Before the officials could leave their shifts, a shout came from a corner below: "Ah! I don't do it! ”

The ministers were in an uproar, following the prestige, but they saw Ren Xiaoyao sweating profusely in a hurry, stumbling out of the class, kneeling in the middle of the golden palace, looking quite sad and angry.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, Ren Xiaoyao hurriedly calmed down and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been too old recently, his physical strength is not good, and he is riddled with diseases, all in all, Weichen is about to hang up, so Weichen asks the emperor to take back his life and allow Weichen to resign from the old man." ”

This nonsense immediately attracted the contempt of the Manchu ministers of civil and military affairs.

You can make up nonsense, right? You are not yet 20 years old, and you are "too old", "riddled with diseases", and "old age"? The nonsense is so shameless, how can you sit in the position of an official in the ministry?

The hearts of the ministers became more and more determined to resist and obstruct. However, seeing that Ren Xiaoyao was quite self-aware and took the initiative to stand up and resign, they were happy not to be the villain, and let Ren Xiaoyao mess around.

The fat man sitting on the dragon chair heard Ren Xiaoyao's nonsense, but he spat with a "poof", and was just about to laugh loudly, then suddenly remembered that the occasion was wrong, and hurriedly covered his face, his face twitched and said in a deep voice: "Oh? I'm still so angry when I'm sick and talking, I ...... cough, I think Ren Aiqing can continue to do her best for the country......"

Ren Xiaoyao heard the words and waited to continue to resign, but at this time, Cheng Zheng Ru of Taichung stood up from class, first turned around and glared at Ren Xiaoyao, and then knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with Lord Ren's ...... That one...... Resignation. The position of the secretary is the position of interest in the court, Ren Xiaoyao is impetuous and frivolous, and there are many deficiencies in virtue, and he has a bad reputation, and the old minister thinks that Lord Ren is really not suitable for this position, and asks the emperor to take back his life. ”

When Zheng Ru impeached the former prince in the court, Ren Xiaoyao jumped out against him, and the old man held a grudge, and when he saw that Ren Xiaoyao was actually appointed by the new emperor as the secretary of the ministry, the old man couldn't stand still and quickly jumped out to oppose it.

The fat man frowned when he heard this, and then his brows furrowed, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face.

Ren Xiaoyao and he are classmates, but also friends in trouble, the two are friends, more close as brothers, Ren Xiaoyao refutes his face, it's nothing, but what kind of coaxing do you have when an old man jumps out? I want to be appointed as a free-spirited official, what does it matter to you? Could it be that you rely on your qualifications as an old minister and want to deliberately give the new emperor a dismount?

Before the fat man could speak, someone was upset.

"Hey, Master Zheng, what are you talking about? When you're old, can you speak human language? Who says I don't have a good reputation? Where is there a fault in my virtue? Why can't I be a secretary of the ministry? The emperor is wise and appoints me as the secretary of the ministry, it is the emperor's insight that shows that I am indeed a capable person, why do you say that I can't be the secretary of the ministry? 1510 Make it clear, otherwise I will accuse you of slandering the minister in front of the emperor...... Ahem, raid your home! ”

Zheng Ru is the head of the six departments of the court, the head of the official of the six departments of the court, and is responsible for the secretary of state and picketing hundreds of bureaucrats, the old man is over sixty years old, and he is also a respected minister in the court, how can he ever have the experience of being insulted by a hairy boy pointing at his nose?

After hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, Zheng Ru was so angry that his beard curled, his old face suddenly turned red, he turned around and glared at Ren Xiaoyao fiercely, and said angrily: "You have no loss in virtue? Lord Ren, if you don't know, unless you don't do it, Sun Yi, the head of the household department, do you remember this person? ”

Ren Xiaoyao blinked: "I don't remember, what did he do?" Do you owe me money? ”

Zheng Ru sneered: "As a second-class member of the imperial court, you actually robbed the household department official with your accomplices in the middle of the night, and you robbed him of tens of thousands of taels of silver that night, and ...... Hum! And invited a painter, forced him to strip naked, and painted him naked, Lord Ren, you won't forget this so quickly, right? ”

"Wow!" The Manchu Dynasty is boiling. All the ministers in the hall, including the fat man sitting on the dragon chair, all stared at Ren Xiaoyao with disbelief, and the shock in their hearts was like a stormy wave impacting their psychological bottom line.

The second-rank minister robbed his colleagues in the DPRK and China late at night, and forced him to strip naked and paint nude portraits, which ...... It can be regarded as the first scandal in the court since the founding of the Chinese Dynasty more than 100 years ago, right?

This Lord Ren ...... It's so daring.
