Chapter 6 The Prime Minister's Argument is Reasonable
What His Majesty said is very true, and the matter of the draft is decided.
After retiring from the court, almost all the ministers went to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
It was the mansion of Su Yuankang, the original right prime minister, which was quite spacious, and it was not crowded with thousands of people inside.
After Zhao Zilong killed Su Yuankang, he led the silver armor guard to raid the Su family, and then gave it to Fan Zhongyan to live in.
As for the military attachΓ©, he was not good at governing the country, so he basically didn't go, only Yuwen Invincible followed to join in the fun.
It's not that he likes to join in the fun, it's like, 'I'm so hard'!
Although he is still the 'left prime minister' in reputation, he has no one in his hands and no soldiers under him.
Wenchen basically couldn't go all the way with him, and as for the military attachΓ©s, they were all with Zhao Zilong now, and the Black Armor Army was asked to leave by Zhao Zilong.
He is truly alone, so he is not miserable.
Fortunately, I wasn't too stupid, and decided to mess with Fan Zhongyan, an upstart in the imperial court, even if I had a familiar face!
"Whatever you say, Prime Minister, we will do."
Hubu Shangshu directly opened the skylight to speak, anyway, he had to listen to Fan Zhongyan, and it was useless to be careful no matter how much he thought.
"Yes, yes, the prime minister just orders directly!"
The ministers chimed in.
"That's it."
Fan Zhongyan is not humble either, and wants to rely on these ministers to solve national affairs, so he doesn't have to think about it for the time being.
"First of all, let's talk about the floods in the three counties in the south of the Yangtze River, the current flood has not receded, and the time to build flood control facilities is not appropriate, so the top priority is to provide disaster relief and rescue the people and stabilize the people's hearts."
The ministers nodded in approval.
"Since the treasury is empty and it is impractical to open a warehouse to give grain, it is necessary to rely on the adults to take the lead in raising funds and raising grain, and then encourage wealthy scholars and businessmen to participate in it."
"This ......"
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't you want to?" Fan Zhongyan suddenly snorted coldly, he had a breathtaking momentum, and said coldly: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't forget what Your Majesty said, what do you want you to do if you don't serve the country at a critical moment as a courtier!" And don't forget, once the country is destroyed, can you be left alone? Don't say that you are an official, it is estimated that the first one will raid your home! β
Fan Zhongyan's words instantly made the ministers fall silent.
"Prime Minister, I am willing to contribute 30,000 taels of food and mobilize my relatives to raise food!"
Yuwen's invincible sound of gongs and drums resounded, and the air that shook was rattling.
Fan Zhongyan immediately looked at Yuwen Invincible, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister Zuo is really loyal, I thank Prime Minister Zuo on behalf of the people who are suffering." β
"Hehe, just call me by name."
With a bag of high hats, Yuwen was invincible and fluttering.
Ministers: "What the prime minister said is that we should do it ourselves." β
So the ministers reported the amount of money raised by you 30,000, I 50,000, and he 80,000.
Fan Zhongyan smiled and asked the attendant to write it down.
After talking about disaster relief, Fan Zhongyan continued to solve it one by one.
β¦β¦
"Finally, let's talk about His Majesty's draft." Fan Zhongyan stretched his waist and looked at the ministers and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty's draft is very earnest, if you really want to follow the process, it will take months to say less, and Your Majesty can't wait that long, so Benxiang decided to split the draft into two drafts. First, the draft of the Western Capital (Imperial Capital), and then the draft of the counties of the Great Zhou. What do you adults think? β
Ministers: "What the prime minister said is reasonable. β
"That picture talks about the criteria for selecting show girls: that is, both ability and political integrity, beauty second."
Ministers: "......"
"Your Majesty's good women are known all over the world, and if you choose a beautiful woman to enter the palace again, Your Majesty will have no mental politics. This is also for Your Majesty and for the sake of Da Zhou. β
Ministers: "What the prime minister said is reasonable! β
"Prime Minister, can you leave the draft matter to me. I will definitely follow the Prime Minister's draft criteria and select the most suitable show girls for His Majesty to choose. Yuwen was invincible and volunteered to take on the task.
"Prime Minister Zuo has a heart, and the prime minister entrusts you with the draft, and it must be completed within ten days." Fan Zhongyan said with a smile.
That's exactly what he wants.
"Thank you, Prime Minister! Wrap it up on me! Yuwen Invincible said loudly in his heart: "Then I'll go and prepare now." β
After speaking, Yuwen Invincible left in a hurry and returned home.
"Xi Shih Tzu, hurry up! Great good news for the Father!! Yuwen's invincible and magnificent voice resounded in his own mansion.
Knock knock knock......
The earth shook, and a deafening sound came from the backyard to the frontyard.
A few guards who were originally guarding the front yard quickly hid when they heard the sound.
"Dad, you're looking for me! Isn't there anything delicious! β
A girl who was fatter than a pig appeared in sight, shouting excitedly at Yuwen Invincible, with a chicken leg in her hand.
The girl's name is Yuwen Xishi, and she is the only daughter of Yuwen Invincible.
has a big pie face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, very impactful.
Yuwen Xi Shi is known as 'Saltless Xi Shi', which is extremely powerful and can suppress all demons and monsters.
Wherever she passed, men fled for their lives, and no one could get within ten feet of her.
"Eat, eat, eat, only know how to eat all day long, why don't you eat to death!" Seeing Yuwen Xishi gnawing on the chicken legs, Yuwen was invincible and roared.
"Dad, you yelled at me, I'm going to tell my mother, woo woo ......"
"I haven't heard the good news yet!" Yuwen Invincible immediately stopped Yuwen Xishi, who was crying and leaving.
"Yes!" Yuwen Xishi immediately stopped, biting the chicken leg and said loudly to Yuwen Invincible.
"Xi Shi, your chance has come, the palace draft, ask for ugly ...... A beauty who looks like Xi Shi. As long as you are favored by His Majesty, you will have no worries about eating and drinking in the future, and you will have a big backer for your father. Yuwen was invincible and happy.
"Bang dang!"
Chicken thighs drop!
"Really? You mean that I can not only get married, but also marry the emperor! β
"Of course! This draft is hosted by the father, and you are guaranteed to be selected! β
"Yay! Daddy is the best! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the palace, in the imperial pond, Ji Jing was bored fishing for golden carp, and Xiao Guizi supported him to shine and shade.
After seven days of idleness, he was almost sick.
"Xiao Guizi, do we have any beauty lists or anything like that in the Western Capital? For example, the four beauties and the top ten beauties. β
"Back to the master, the slave has never heard. But if I think about it, I am an outstanding person in the Great Zhou, and the western capital is the imperial capital, so there must be a lot of beauties. β
Xiao Guizi is really a roundworm in Ji Jing's stomach, and he knows the meaning of Ji Jing's words.
"Then I can rest assured, I reported the draft to the prime minister this morning, and first selected fifty show girls with both ability and political integrity in the Western Capital for me to choose, and first solved my emptiness, loneliness and coldness."
"Great loyal minister!" Ji Jing sighed with emotion.
"The master is right, Prime Minister Fan is a great loyal minister!" Xiao Guizi added flatteringly.
"But is it reliable for him to hand over the draft to Yuwen Invincible's bastard?"
Thinking that it was Yuwen Invincible who really presided over the draft, Ji Jing always felt a sense of secrecy.
Will the bastard's aesthetic point of view be the same as his?
However, since Fan Zhongyan said that Yuwen Invincible will come 100% according to the standards he gave, it should be reliable......
