"The two queen mothers have ordered, there is no need to serve food today, I have to take a good rest."

The emperor changed into a white fox fur robe with red satin on the one hand, and instructed the little eunuch on the other, "Go to the dining room and see, is there anything delicious?" ”

"The minions have gone to see the silverfish and pheasants that have gone out; the yellow sheep from Gansu; Winter bamboo shoots from Anhui; Drunken crabs from Zhejiang; The minions let them prepare a number one hot pot. ”

The queen smiled, and when she saw the palace maid standing far away, she whispered, "That's so pitiful! After fasting for the past two days, I'm afraid I'm really hungry? ”

"Not really! I'm going to have to make up for it today. ”

So there were two palace maids left in the house, and only the little eunuchs served on the corridor, and the queen accompanied the emperor, drank lightly, and laughed continuously, and used a very satisfactory dinner.

There are not many such chenguang, and when it comes to the end of the year, there are many ceremonies in the palace.

After the "Breaking Five", there is another major event, and we must start to prepare: the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple, Honglu Temple, and the Internal Affairs Office will arrange the Taihe Palace, perform ceremonies and set up music, and wait for the emperor to come to the Taihe Hall on the 26th day of the first month, and bow to the great government.

On that day, when the hundred officials entered the palace, they were in a different mood - the period of "co-governance" between the two palaces was over, and it depended on how the emperor would pick up this burden?

The emperor officially summoned the military plane in the Yangxin Palace, which was the twenty-seventh day of the first month.

Prince Gong, Wen Xiang and others had long seen that after the Empress Dowager Cixi returned to power, there must have been many extravagant moves, and the expenditure of the Internal Affairs Office would increase significantly, so after many secret discussions, it was decided to take advantage of the change of power to reduce the Internal Affairs Office as a means to achieve the goal of saving money.

On the first day of the emperor's questioning, he instructed the household department to make a recital, and at the same time prepared a clear edict in advance:

"The Ministry of Household Song:" The Ministry Treasury is empty, and the money should be stored, please seal it according to the original proposal, and the foreign tax and silver are two, and the former Prime Minister's National Affairs Yamen is clear, and the Ministry Treasury is handed over to the Ministry of Treasury and stored in another paragraph.

Due to the proximate payment of various yamen, there is an endless stream, and the main items are not enough, and they are borrowed at any time, which is not in line with the initial discussion. The ministry complied with the original case and sealed it all.

In the future, the customs will declare forty percent of the foreign tax, and it will be sealed at any time, and it will not be allowed to be tampered with.

Another piece of music: the inner and outer libraries, customized points, each should live within its means, and should not be confused. The funds of the internal government are still allocated as before.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs supplies all the items of the Inner Court, and there are various items that should be solved by the Guangdong Customs, Tianjin, and Changlu, as well as the head rent of the manor, and the household department allocates funds every year, so that the income is within the means, so why is the money insufficient?

The Minister of the Interior in charge of all the needs of the application, verify the moderation, and strictly punish all the members of the department to handle it carefully, so that there is no arbitrary expenditure, which will cause it to be involved! If the payment of the provincial customs regulations is not overdue, or is still in arrears, the minister shall make it clear that the governor and the superintendent shall be severely punished, so as to make an example of leaking.

As for the 600,000 taels allocated by the ministry, it is now made clear by the Ministry of Households, and it is still raised on an annual basis, so that the funds used by the internal government will not be excessive.

Thereafter, it is not permissible to borrow money from the household department to conform to the order, and to make this decree known.

Of course, what the emperor saw at this time was the folds of the household department, which also mentioned the original plan approved that year, in addition to the "foreign debt" borrowed by Zuo Zongtang to guarantee the military expenses of Zuo Zongtang's expedition to the west, the remaining forty percent was stored in a special account to prepare for the future preparation of the navy.

This is the century-old plan of the country, the relationship is extremely important, Prince Gong is afraid that the emperor can not have such far-reaching considerations, especially for the story of Chen Yongzheng.

When Yongzheng was in power, the comprehensive examination was real, and all urgent matters were stopped, except for river defense and sea ponds, there was no "big work".

The surplus money was deposited in the "Sealing Pile Warehouse" located in the east of the cabinet, and more than 30 million taels of silver were accumulated in the last year to store grain and rice, which could also be used for 20 years, so there was the prosperous era of Qianlong.

When it comes to the "Sealed Pile Library", the emperor who has read the "History of the Song Dynasty" understands, "Ah! He has a deep understanding, "Without Yongzheng's pile sealing library, there would be no Qianlong's 'Ten Martial Arts'!" That's what matters. ”

"Yes!" Prince Gong happily responded, and unconsciously praised two sentences, "The emperor is smart and wise, and he will be able to compete with Yong and Qian in the future, and reopen the prosperous world." ”

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs allocates 600,000 taels from the Ministry of Household Affairs every year, how did this case come about?" The Emperor asked again.

"It is a case that is decided in two parts, for four years of Tongzhi, with an annual allocation of 300,000 taels by order, and an additional 300,000 taels for seven years of Tongzhi." Prince Gong replied, "According to the rules, it is enough!" ”

"If it's enough, why do you keep borrowing it?" The emperor asked, "If you borrow it, why don't you pay it back?" ”

Prince Gong was silent at first, and then replied to the emperor's later words: "There is no way to pay it back!" Only do not borrow. ”

"Of course! It is not allowed to borrow it in the future. "The emperor still can't let go of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

From there, he began to reprimand, saying that the people in the Internal Affairs Office "have no conscience" and are "not greedy enough", and they still want to be expensive even if they are rich. It's too much to say! ”

Prince Gong only said that he hoped that the emperor would make such a statement at the beginning of his pro-government, so that the people of the Internal Affairs Office would know that in addition to the emperor's grace, there is also the power of unpredictable thunder, and he should be a little vigilant and slightly restrained.

But when the emperor said that he was a little excited and advocated cleaning up the bad debts of the Internal Affairs Office, Prince Gong couldn't help but panic in his heart, how could the bad debts of the Internal Affairs Office be cleaned up? If it is shaken out, it will involve too wide, and even the face of the Empress Dowager Cixi will not look good, so I can't help but find a way to stop it.

"The internal affairs government has accumulated many problems and many malpractices, and it has not been a day. Naturally, there are some expenses, and there are slightly more 'transmission incidents', which is also true. ”

Prince Gong paused for a moment and said: "At the beginning of the emperor's pro-government, the phase and the renewal of the internal affairs office, up and down, will be able to change their minds and be cautious. ”

"There are more incidents", the emperor naturally understands that this time he can't go any further! He thought for a moment and asked, "How much is the 'silver handed' of the two queen mothers now?" ”

"100,000 per year, 30,000 each for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, and 40,000 years for the next year."

"The two queen mothers, in the future, there will be many places to enjoy people. Look, it's time to add 'hand in the silver'! The emperor said, "Although I don't say 'raise the world', I can't make the two queen mothers feel wronged." ”

This is a very small matter, and Prince Gong has realized that the emperor's move is to hope that the Empress Dowager Cixi will ask the Internal Affairs Office to do less errands in the future, so he immediately replied: "This is the emperor's filial piety, even if the ministry treasury is tight, it must not be missing the use of the two queen mothers."

Please ask the emperor to order a number, and the ministers will follow the order. “

"I'll see double it!" (To be continued.) )
