Chapter 106: Early Dynasty

"The prime minister is really a good official for the country and the people, and it is a great blessing for my father to have you."

"This is what Weichen should do, don't dare to take credit."

The two of you talked back and forth, so that the people next to them didn't dare to interject at all, and above the court, it was as quiet as a cold pool.

"The emperor has arrived."

Just as the two were talking energetically, the father-in-law's voice came, and the emperor came.

Only then did the two of them stop and stand back in their positions, and their expressions were unpredictable, as if they were not the ones who had almost quarreled just now.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"Zhong Aiqing is flat."

After a period of salutation, the father-in-law beside the emperor stood up at the right time and shouted: "There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat." ”

It's just a practice since the previous dynasties, among them, the official department Shangshu stood up and said about this year's imperial examination.

In Jizhou, there have been local imperial examinations, but after all, they are officials in the court, since there are a lot of official positions lacking in Jizhou, you might as well advance the imperial examinations, so that the missing official positions can be replenished in time.

This performance is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, the emperor nodded and agreed, let the officials start to handle it, although the imperial examination was hasty, but many details can not be ignored.

In particular, this time the serial corruption in Jizhou was discovered, and in this regard, the emperor explained that this was one of the key items to be investigated.

Then there is the Ministry of Rites, and now that the Queen Mother's birthday is approaching, whether it will be held as in previous years, or will it be arranged separately.

One after another, there were some small things that had to be nodded by the emperor, and the courtiers brought them up one by one.

In terms of feasible things, the emperor agreed on the spot, and the matters to be disputed were handed over to the folds and made a decision.

In the end, Jing Hanyu reported the matter of Jizhou and his party, and the matter was impeccable, especially the digging of canals and waterways, but it had to be funded by the imperial court.

The prospect of cold encounters has been handed over, but it has not waited for the emperor's approval, so it is mentioned here.

However, he didn't mention the matter of handing in the folds, after all, he didn't know if the emperor deliberately didn't see it, or if he was detained halfway.

But obviously, if someone is detained halfway and dares to detain the prime minister's excerpt, this person must not be an ordinary courtier.

Ordinary people don't dare to deduct Jing Hanyu's fold without permission.

Without getting a reply from the emperor, he invested all the money and property of the Jizhou prefect in this project.

Although this kind of thing is cut first and then played, the emperor did not blame more, but after Jing Hanyu proposed that he still needed the imperial court's appropriation, the emperor immediately started to do it.

At this time, Hubu Shangshu stood up and said: "Your Majesty, a lot of silver has been produced in the treasury for disaster relief this year, and now there is really no extra silver taels in the treasury to take out, and this appropriation is ......."

Tobe Shangshu's face was very difficult, the original treasury was quite full, but after the previous battle, coupled with this natural disaster, a lot of silver has been taken out.

And this year, because of the drought in the south, there is no harvest and taxes are exempted.

"In this way, Jing Aiqing budgeted for this appropriation, in addition to the silver taels obtained by the Jizhou prefect, how much more is needed?"

was named, Jing Hanyu had to stand up and say: "Back to the emperor, Weichen slightly calculated, the difference is nearly 200,000 taels of silver." ”

In fact, this money is not much, but for today's imperial court, there is not so much money in the treasury at all.

asked how many taels of silver there was in the treasury of the Hubu Shangshu, and the Hubu Shangshu had no choice but to stand up and say: "Your Majesty, you can take out up to 150,000 taels, but after a while, it will be the birthday of the Queen Mother, if you take out all of them, I'm afraid it will ......."

Previously, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu had raised the issue of the Queen Mother's birthday, but now everything is rushing together.

This time, the early dynasty took more than an hour longer than before, and the disaster relief silver was still not resolved, so in the end they had to disperse the dynasty first and let them go back to think about countermeasures.

The disaster relief is urgent, but the birthday of the Queen Mother is just as important, and the things are one by one, which makes the emperor feel a headache.

After the early dynasty, the emperor went straight to the queen mother to ask the queen mother for peace, seeing the emperor's sad face, the queen mother couldn't help but care: "What is the emperor bothered about?" ”

Knowing the son Mo Ruo's mother, the queen mother is the emperor's own mother, although the emperor didn't say anything, the queen mother could still see at a glance that he had something on his mind.

"Mother, I'm fine, how are you doing?"

In recent years, the Queen Mother has always been deeply tired, and the imperial doctor has been seeing her all year round, but she still has not improved, and Gu Changheng does not come to visit the Queen Mother every day, but he is a filial son, and when he has time, he will come to greet one or two.

"It's okay to mourn the family, it's all the same, but it's you, you bothered about this matter in the court."

"What did the Queen Mother hear?"

"Although the mourning family is old, it is not so bad that they don't understand anything, Cui'er, bring the things."

As the Queen Mother spoke, a palace maid greeted a group of little palace maids, and brought in a lot of things one after another.

"Queen Mother, what is this?"

"This is some ordinary jewelry of the mourning family, it's useless to keep it, so someone took it out of the palace and sold it, this is 10,000 taels of silver, you take it."

The queen mother has worked hard all the way with the emperor, and although she has lived in the deep palace for a long time over the years, she is not an ordinary woman in the deep house.

She knows everything outside, and of course she also knows the difficulties of being an emperor, so she wants to help the emperor and set an example.

"The queen mother is unfilial."

Gu Changheng never thought that one day he would sell his jewelry to the Queen Mother and get money from the people to help the people.

The Queen Mother looked at the emperor kindly and said: "You have a lot on your shoulders, but now that the mourning family is old, it can't help you too much, the people below, all ambitious, the emperor, can live to watch this peaceful and prosperous day, the mourning family is already satisfied." ”

The emperor was relatively speechless, and the queen mother waved her hand and said in a tired voice: "You go back, the mourning family is tired, and the birthday matter does not have to be too grand." ”

As he spoke, he let the grandmother beside him help him into the inner room, Gu Changheng got up and said, "I will come to visit the queen mother again when I have time." ”

After speaking, he left Ci'an Palace, and the queen mother's move, I have to say, indirectly solved the problem of disaster relief funds for Gu Changheng.

Not only did the concubines in the harem donate their valuable things, but the courtiers also followed suit and took out real money.

For a while, the originally empty treasury was filled up a lot, and in a few days, 200,000 taels of silver were sent directly to Jizhou, and this time it was the prince who was responsible.

It is said that the prince personally asked for his life, and the emperor saw that the prince was rarely so active, so he nodded and responded, and soon the prince set off to escort this batch of official silver to Jizhou.

Yue Zhanyan has been in the mansion for the past few days, and when she heard such a thing, she didn't think it was strange, in her previous life, she was the disaster relief money personally escorted by the prince.
