Chapter 227: Chaohui I
Lu Fang led the four eunuchs to line up and stand on the left. Yan Song, the www.biquge.info of the pen, led the five cabinet members to stand in a line on the right. The two groups knelt facing the still empty chair to the north.
After three bows, Lu Fang led the four eunuchs to the long case on the left. Yan Song led the five cabinet members to the long case on the right.
Only Yan Song sat alone on the separate embroidery pier, and all the rest of the people stood in front of the desk.
The 40-year financial meeting of Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty was about to be held under this situation.
First of all, Lu Fang looked at the veil in the back of the hall on the right side, and then everyone's eyes slowly looked at the veil.
I couldn't see it clearly, but I could only see that there seemed to be a small inner room on the side of the veil.
At this moment, there was a crisp sound of copper chimes from the side of the veil.
As if hearing a signal, Lu Fang immediately announced: "Let's discuss the matter." β
After the veil, Tan Ke sat next to Emperor Jiajing, because it was now a court meeting, so he called Jiajing His Majesty.
"Your Majesty, why don't you go out and have a look now?"
Jiajing wore a bright yellow robe, and the tight-fitting style matched Jiajing's energetic face brought people a sense of ability and majesty. Jiajing listened to Tan Ke's question, and replied in a low voice: "Immortal Master, don't be in a hurry to show up now, it's not too late to listen to what the cabinet has to say before going out." β
Tan Ke sent Kevin to the outer hall to shoot the meeting scene, so Tan Ke, who didn't have to face the camera, also felt a rare sense of relief.
Tan Ke was relaxed, the audience in the live broadcast room was not easy, on the contrary, they were very curious about the financial meeting of the Ming Dynasty.
In the live broadcast room of the infinite worldββ
"Eh, why is it different from what you play in the TV series?"
"yes, yes. I feel an indescribable taste. Anyway, it's not the feeling of watching a TV series. β
"Are you stupid! The TV series are all edited, and there is also a soundtrack, so of course it looks and feels different! β
β23333οΌ It turns out that there is no BGM! β
"BGM said, I don't carry this pot!"
β¦β¦
Even though the camera wasn't around, Tan Ke could still see the barrage.
Tan Ke smiled in his heart, he sat behind the veil, and accompanied Emperor Jiajing to listen to the financial meeting of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, it was really different from what he imagined.
Outside, Lu Fang began to preside over the meeting: "It's still the old rule, the cabinet will report last year's various expenditures according to the actual use of various ministries and two capitals and 13 provinces. What are the major expenditures this year, the ministries put them forward, the household departments make a comprehensive calculation, the cabinet drafts a vote, and we can approve the red. Ge Lao, what do you say? β
"Relying on the emperor's virtue and everyone's hard work, the most difficult days have finally passed." Yan Song unhurriedly began to set the tone for the meeting, "Last year, there was a great drought in two provinces, a big flood in three provinces, several major wars in the north and southeast, plus a fire in the palace, to be honest, I don't know how I came here. The emperor has clothes and food for dinner, and everyone should be tired. Coincidentally, there was no snow in the lunar month last year, and some people took advantage of this to attack the imperial court. Fortunately, the sun and the moon shine together a few days ago, and it snows again today, otherwise, I am afraid that all of us would have to resign. It doesn't matter, what matters is the annual success of my Ming Dynasty this year! But it's snowing today, and it's snowing heavily! Everyone knows that although there was a sun and moon shining in the past, if it didn't snow, the people's discussions would not stop. From the first day of the new year to the present, the emperor has been fasting and worshiping heaven here alone. This snow was paid tribute to by the emperor, and it was the emperor's sincerity that moved the heavens! God bless, as long as we do the solid work of the courtiers, my Ming Dynasty is still in the sky! β
Listening to Yan Song's words, Tan Ke almost squirted out the tea in his mouth. Tan Ke didn't know much about Yan Song, but he now knew that this old man's ability to slap horses was a must.
Jiajing, who was sitting in the seat, also had a smile on his face, he had recently read a lot of books that Tan Ke had brought from the afterlife, which contained a lot of content about Yan Song. Knowing that his pavilion elder had become a famous traitor in later generations, Jiajing's sense of Yan Song naturally deteriorated.
I used to think that Yan Song was quite obedient, and his life span was approaching, so let him go if he did something superb. Now Jiajing can work for at least another fifty years, and it is better for this kind of traitor to be eliminated early.
"Everyone has worked hard for more than a month, and we have finally figured out all the expenses of last year. The cabinet has also prepared the votes in the past few days, and the celebrant has approved the red, and last year's accounts have been settled. Then we'll talk about this year's expenses. Xu Ge Lao. Yan Song looked at the elderly cabinet member beside him, "You and Su Qing are in charge of the household department, the cabinet vote is going to be with you, you talk about it, and then submit it to Gonggong Lu for their approval." β
Jiajing and Tan Ke were thinking about things there, and the meeting continued.
Yan Song said that Xu Ge is always Xu Jie, in history he made a great effort in the matter of overthrowing Yan Song, and served as the first assistant after Yan Song fell into the cabinet, but Xu Jie is not such a clear person, Songjiang's hometown has 10,000 acres of fertile land, and there are countless shop industries, because of this, he was later bitten by the Qing Dynasty official Hai Rui.
Another Su Qing is talking about Gao Gong, who is the same as Xu Jie, King Yu, that is, a figure of the Longqing Emperor's faction in history. and Xu Jie's relationship is to connect the previous and the next, and after Xu Jie's office, he served as the first assistant of the cabinet of the Longqing Dynasty.
"The cabinet vote was handed over to our household department by Brother Shifan yesterday." Xu Jie's speech was as slow as Yan Song's, but he didn't have Yan Song's momentum that covered the four fields, "Su Qing and I checked for a night last night, and after the check, some of the votes were intended for us to sign, and some of the tickets were intended for us not to sign." β
"What?" The first to react was Yan Shifan, "Some of the votes you didn't sign?" Which tickets are not signed? β
Lu Fang and the eunuchs were also a little surprised, and they all looked at Xu Jie.
Xu Jie: "We signed the expenditure bill of the Ministry of War, but the expenditure bill of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Industry was too overrun, and we did not dare to sign it." β
"Didn't you sign the bills of our Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Works?" Yan Shifan's eyes widened in shock.
Everyone was a little surprised, and the air in the entire hall froze at once.
"You were all present when the cabinet of ministries drew up the bills, but now you are signing a ministry and not a ministry, what are you going to do in the household department?" Although Yan Shifan's voice was suppressed, it was still close to roaring.
The hall was originally very quiet, but it was shocked by Yan Shifan's low roar.
Gao Gong's voice was not loud but not lacking in momentum: "Xiaoge Lao, the household department is the household department of the Ming Dynasty, not the household department of 'our'; If all the household departments in charge of the Ministry of Officials and Workers have to do the same, then simply let you take care of the household department, and of course we don't have to come to discuss this matter. β
In the inner room behind the veil, Tan Ke, who heard the quarrel in front of him, set his eyes on Emperor Jiajing, and Jiajing just shook his head at Tan Ke silently.
It's not time to go out yet.
