(Everyone, wouldn't it be beautiful to vote and subscribe to the tip comments!!) )

Zhu Xiuyin left, but Chen Xiaoting was a little irritable for a while, he always felt that things were not so simple.

But now was not the time to explore, so he could only stay where he was, quietly waiting for the pilgrimage to begin.

As time passed, the sun gradually rose in the east, and Chen Xiaoting had been standing in place for almost half an hour.

At this moment, I only heard the sound of drums in the drum tower in the distance, which stimulated Chen Xiaoting's whole body to be energetic.

The drums continued to reverberate throughout the palace, signaling the imminent start of the court.

As the drums gradually subsided, two columns of officials appeared on both sides of the square outside the palace gate, slowly rushing towards the palace gate.

Chen Xiaoting roughly estimated that there were more than 100 officials who came to participate in the court meeting, and they could not show it in the palace.

The officials were divided into two teams and slowly forced, and when they came to the gate of the Yuxu Palace, they each stood according to the train.

The so-called civil and military affairs are naturally mostly civilian officials, and the generals of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies are more likely to check in.

Standing in place, Chen Xiaoting looked fixedly, and the most conspicuous among the courtiers were the two in front.

Although this is the first time these two Chen Xiaoting have met, they know the names of these two people.

Standing in the first place is Huang Yucheng, the first assistant of the cabinet of the current dynasty, who is now over sixty years old, and most of his beard has turned white.

Standing in second place is Qin Yanwen, the second assistant of the cabinet, who has just turned sixty, a few years younger than Huang Yucheng.

Don't look at the harmony between these two people in front of them, but behind the scenes, there are swords and swords, and they are fighting happily.

"Elder Qin Ge, this is a big court meeting, I don't know if you have anything important to discuss?" Shoufu Huang Yucheng stroked his beard and smiled slightly.

In fact, although the two of them have been fighting for so many years, they have really never blushed.

I only heard Qin Yanwen say: "Huang Ge is always the first to say, your business is what matters!" ”

"Oh? Hahaha......"

The two elders laughed, and the other courtiers were not surprised, and it was unlikely that this would affect their sidelines.

The two old foxes were tight-mouthed, and they both knew that it was impossible to ask for something from each other's mouths, so they simply stopped talking.

Now there are only these two cabinet elders in the cabinet, which can be regarded as the least situation since the founding of the country, and the two of them are silent, and the others will no longer speak.

The hundred officials were silent, and at this moment, they only heard the sound of drums coming from the gate of the Yuxu Palace, and then saw two teams of eunuchs coming out of it with their heads down.

Yongzhi Emperor Zhu Yujun slowly walked out of the palace gate, today he looks good, and his crown exudes supreme majesty.

This is also the first time Chen Xiaoting has seen the emperor, and there is still a little difference from the wise and martial arts he imagined.

Behind the emperor, two young men in python robes walked out from the left and right, one of whom was Zhu Xiuyin, the sixth prince.

Then the identity of the other person is about to come out, and he must be the strongest contender for the throne, Zhu Xiulin, the eighth son of the emperor.

"The emperor has arrived, and the ministers are early!" The celebrant palm seal Yu Peizhong said loudly.

This is actually a signal, after receiving this signal, all the ministers knelt down to the ground, and the mountain shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

The courtiers had to kneel, and Chen Xiaoting and the others, who were the guard of honor, only needed to stand with their heads held high.

At this time, Chen Xiaoting could see that in addition to the palm seal of the celebrant next to the throne, there were also eunuchs such as Liu Hong, the prince of the East Factory, and Liu Jinzhong, the newly appointed governor of the West Factory.

And Sun Xian, who is the speaker of Jinyiwei, can only stand alone on the other side of the throne.

Although it was a court meeting, Zhu Yujun behaved very casually, only to see him leaning on the throne and casually saying: "Who has this music!" ”

Generally speaking, this level of court meeting will not discuss substantive things, and it is enough to discuss two small things casually.

This has been done in the past, so most of the courtiers are silent at this time, waiting for the drama that has been arranged in advance.

Sure enough, a courtier immediately stood up on the train, and then said: "Wu Gaoyang, a member of the Ministry of Ministers, has a book!" ”

Zhu Yujun's face was expressionless, and no one asked anyone to take the notebook, but said directly: "Say!" ”

Wu Gaoyang bowed his body and glanced at Zhu Xiulin, the eighth prince on the imperial ladder, before he said: "Qi Shengshang, the Qingliang Hall is in a state of repair, the Ministry of Engineering has calculated the required silver taels, and I also ask the Holy Lord for approval!" ”

The renovation of a cool hall is really not a big deal, and it is also involved in political disputes, and the courtiers have not reacted much.

"How many taels of silver do you need?" Zhu Yujun asked casually, he still has a good impression of this palace that enjoys the cool in summer.

If the repair plan can be approved at the court meeting, then the money for the repair will not have to come out of the inner treasury.

"To start the Holy Lord, it costs 20,000 taels of silver!"

Is 20,000 taels too much? Not much for the emperor per se, not much for the treasury.

But things are not absolute, and many times they have to be based on the actual situation.

For example, at present, the northwest of the imperial court must prevent the Hu people from knocking on the pass, and there is the trouble of the Japanese in the southeast...... Silver is needed everywhere.

The treasury is now beyond its means, and it would be out of place to use the money to repair the palace.

So, Pei Yuanxin, the head of the household department who was in charge of the money bag, stood up and said: "Qi Shengshang, the southeast army needs to allocate 1 million, the northwest provinces need to allocate 2 million one after another, plus the displacement people in Huguang need to be resettled, which is a big expense......"

"And now, the inventory of silver in each household department is only 2.5 million, which is really difficult to turnover......"

In fact, Zhu Yujun knew that someone would come out to oppose it, and Tobe Shilang was the most likely one.

And Zhang Yunde, the head of the household, did not stand up to speak, and the whole person stood in place like a log. Since someone came out to speak up, there must be someone who was fortunate enough to speak for the emperor.

But before these people stood up, they saw Zhu Xiulin on the side of the throne step forward and bowed to Zhu Yujun: "Father, the son has something to do!" ”

Zhu Yujun's face was rare and better-looking, so he said, "The emperor said!" ”

This scene made Zhu Xiuyin's face complicated, and the emperor had never been so kind to him.

I only heard Zhu Xiulin say: "Father, there are nearly a thousand pieces of silk in the son's mansion, and it is not a problem to sell them for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it is just right to use them to repair the palace for my father!" ”

Listen to it, what a filial son this is, in order to repair the temple for his father, he even sold the silk at home.

Zhu Xiulin, His Royal Highness the King of Wu, sent to take away his clothes.

But when these words sounded in Chen Xiaoting's ears, they had a different opinion.

There are thousands of silk horses in the palace alone, and His Royal Highness King Wu is not an ordinary rich man, after all, who will have nothing to store so much silk.

Moreover, it is foreseeable that the silk stored in King Wu's mansion must be high-grade silk, and the value is likely to be more than tens of thousands of taels in Zhu Xiulin's mouth.

No matter what Chen Xiaoting thought when he heard this, anyway, Zhu Yujun was a dragon face at this time, and said with a smile: "Okay...... The emperor has this filial piety, and I am very relieved! ”

After saying this, Zhu Yujun looked at Pei Yuanxin and said, "Pei Shilang, you have nothing to say now, right?" ”

"His Royal Highness King Wu's filial piety touched the sky, and Weichen had nothing to say!" Pei Yuanxin bowed and said.

The matter was solved at this moment, and the Qingliang Hall could continue to be repaired, and Zhu Yujun was in a very good mood.

But he wouldn't really ask Zhu Xiulin to sell silk, after all, he still had silver in his inner treasury, so he didn't have to suffer too much about his son.

The court meeting was able to continue, and after several officials made a performance, most of the hours had already passed.

At this time, Zhu Yujun was already a little tired, so he saw him reclining on the throne and asked casually: "Is there anything to do if you are listed as Aiqing?" ”

This is also a signal, indicating that today's court meeting can be over, and those who are familiar with the emperor know it in their hearts.

Just when all the ministers were preparing to retreat to the court, they only heard a clear voice: "Wang Lian, the left deputy capital of the Imperial Inspectorate...... There is a kick-off! ”
