Chapter 42: The Old Fox

42 Old Fox, readers, leave a trace of the book, give me a little advice, give some comments, let me understand some information, thank you.

The next morning, the courtiers saluted Ji Xi. Ji Xi sat on the high hall, looked at the civil and military ministers under the hall, and said after a little hesitation: "Ben Hou went to the people yesterday to explore, and his wife accompanied him, on the way, his wife personally went down to the ground with the people, and felt a lot, and also got a lot of things that Ben Hou did not know, Ben Hou felt deeply complicated in his heart, so Ben Hou made an unprecedented act today, please come out of Mrs. to tell you about the pros and cons of this!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the hall was immediately boiling, and almost all the ministers were discussing, this decision was too inappropriate, there has always been no woman in the court, how could the Hou Ye do such a thing that detracts from the majesty of the Son of Heaven.

Some of them, who are older and have a slightly higher seniority, are a little bolder, take a step forward, look directly at Ji Xi, and say tentatively: "Master Hou, no, this court has always been a matter of men's deliberations, where will there be a woman, and this harem woman does not do government affairs, this is determined by the Son of Heaven, how can Lord Hou be arbitrary?" ”

"Doctor Qi is serious, this court is indeed a place for men to discuss matters, but no one has stipulated that all women are not allowed to appear, it's just that Ben Hou set this precedent. Besides, Ben Hou didn't ask his wife to participate in government affairs when he called his wife, but he saw his wife yesterday and had a personal experience. Ji Xi laughed, smiled and denied Dazong's objection, and said directly: "Madam, what do you say?" ”

In the next second, I saw Xi Fei wearing a gorgeous dress, with serious makeup, with the demeanor of a mother of the nation, step by step calmly, not arrogant or impatient, walked into the hall, and stood beside Ji Xi.

Dazong saw that Xi Fei had come to the main hall, and remembered yesterday with a ghost in his heart, knowing that Xi Fei would inevitably hear a trace of news, and it would be more or less beneficial to himself, so he took the lead in asking for guilt: "Please also ask Lord Hou and Mrs. to forgive the guilt, Wei Chen only found that the amount was wrong when he verified the accounts some time ago, and finally learned that there was something wrong with the amount handed over, but it happened that there were a lot of affairs recently, and he forgot about it, and he just remembered yesterday, so this morning Wei Chen has made up for those offerings." ”

Xi Fei laughed secretly in her heart, what an old fox, I saw the clue so quickly, anyway, I didn't think it would be easy to bring you down, lowered my head and met Ji Xi's eyes, and then said to Dazong: "The heart of Dazong can be seen from the sun and the moon, but the great cause of the country is great, who will not have omissions for a while, Hou Ye's heart is like a mirror, how can he not blame it, Dazong is too worried." ”

Dazong breathed a sigh of relief in an instant, and in those short seconds, his heart was really up and down, and he couldn't figure it out, "Thank you, Master Hou, Madam." ”

With a warm smile like a warm breeze, Concubine Xi looked at the courtier, "When Mrs. Ben worked with that woman yesterday, she felt that the use of farm tools was too laborious, rough and clumsy. The efficiency of this farming cannot be improved, all because the old things are unusable. ”

Dazong took advantage of the situation, and said again and again, "What Madame said is very true, and the minister has already seen the problem, but he is still thinking about verifying it in many ways before making a report, and there must be no loopholes, but Madame has already taken the lead." ”

Xi Fei Wen laughed a few times and continued: "The Great Sect is really rigorous, I have you in charge of the power, it is really a great blessing for the country, but the Great Sect is a little slower, and this credit will be taken away by me." However, it is only proposed that this problem is urgently solved, and according to the main sect, who will be entrusted with this more agricultural tool? ”

Dazong is an old fox for decades, how could he not hear that this is Xi Fei atoning for his sins, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "If the lady does not dislike the old minister's stupidity, please hand over this matter to the old minister, and the old minister will definitely handle it." ”

Seeing this, Concubine Xi hurriedly said: "Dazong hurry up, please get up, my family is all the monarchs and ministers of the Xi Kingdom, how can I dislike it, this is really a pain in the palace." If there is a large amount of operation in this matter, it will be appropriate, but it will bother you to get old. ”

"Since Madame does not dislike the old minister, it is the honor of the old minister, and the minister must do his best."

Xi Fei hesitated slightly, and thought about it: "Although my Xiguo is close to Huaishui, but the matter of diverting water and fertile fields is not satisfactory, and it is not a way to rely on manpower for a long time, I heard that the water conservancy of this neighboring country Qi is doing very well, so the palace and the Hou Ye discussed whether to send envoys to other countries to learn from it in the near future, if it is implemented, which person does the sect think is more suitable?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, this water conservancy and farming tools are all agricultural and mulberry matters, if the Hou Ye and Mrs. don't think the old minister is clumsy, then give it to the old minister!"

Xi Fei looked at the great sect, with kind eyebrows on her face, but she didn't have to think about it to know that this old fox didn't know what he was calculating in his heart, and it seemed that he was already in the twilight on the surface, but he was more shrewd than anyone else in his heart, otherwise the position of this great sect could be done for decades?

I want to think about it, but on the surface, I still have to do enough, and said politely: "Dazong's heart for my country is really enthusiastic, but Dazong is old after all, and the matter of farm tools is already tired when entrusted to you, so you must not give this water conservancy matter another heavy responsibility, but if there is no Dazong, this matter is not at ease, or ...... After thinking about it left and right, the palace still thinks that General Yuan Hong, who has just been promoted some time ago, is a good candidate, and he has just been promoted, so it is also good to use this experience to train him, and it is also a good way for him to follow the great sect to broaden his horizons, what does the great sect think? ”

"Madame thinks it's good, then naturally there will be no mistakes, this General Yuan Hong has a pure character, if he is tutored, he will definitely become the pillar of my country in the future. Madame is really accurate in looking at people. Dazong looked respectful on the surface, but his heart was already wrinkled, and he was indignant in his heart, this concubine was really scheming, today in this court, gave me a dismount and sold a face to me, it is really smart enough, and now he has brought this Yuan Hong out, and it is clear that he is not at ease with me, and he has started to cultivate his own power so soon, is it too anxious.

Xi Fei observed the words and looks, how could she not see the waves under the great sect and Yan Yue, and said in a flat tone: "This General Yuan Hong has a good heart, and he also has a little understanding of the people's suffering, some time ago, the palace has sent him to inspect the folk cultivation and weaving, and now there must be some gains, at this time, the water conservancy matter will be entrusted to him, it must be a matter of course, and a lot of effort has been saved." ”

"Madame's words are very true."

Xi Fei took one last look at Dazong, this old fox, he was really sleek, I guess this was the reason why he was able to sit in this position for so long. Turning around, he nodded with a smile at Ji Xi, and he already understood, Ji Xi said loudly: "This is the case in the early dynasty today, is there anyone else who wants to play?" …… Let's retreat. ”

After the great sect retreated, there was a burst of joy in his heart, although this Yuan Hong is now favored and assigned to do this with me, but this water conservancy matter is handed over to him, if it is done, the credit is indispensable to the large sect, if it unfortunately fails, it is just that he Yuan Hong is not effective, and he can't be willing to do the things of his sect, thinking of this is a burst of joy in his heart.

But after returning home, Dazong was a little remorseful. At that time, he promised this matter in the name of atonement for his sins, but he rested with his clan relatives and did not touch the mud with his fingers, how did he know which of the farm tools in the field was good and which one was hard, and he asked all the henchmen around him, but none of them knew.

Soon after, he went to Qi with Yuan Hong to observe the water conservancy of Qi State, in order to reform the old system of the country, all Yuan Hong arranged properly, and brought back samples and plans from Qi State, which is also the case, Dazong knew that this matter was just a name, and he couldn't do anything about specific affairs.
