Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 2 Prime Minister

、、、、、、、

"You are all from a family, so can you ignore the suffering of the common people?"

Feng Wuxi's words are still so sharp, "Gansu has always been a bitter cold place, and the exiled prisoners of the imperial court are often sent there, and they are often taken in by the head snakes. Over time, the strength of the powerful and rich gentry there even overshadowed the Central Plains, and there were even those who relied on their power to force away the court officials, yes or no? He snorted coldly, and there was already a hint of anger in his tone.

Yue Qianfan and He Mobin glanced at each other quietly, and they both clearly saw the fear in each other's eyes. They originally just wanted to sell someone a favor, but who knew that it made the emperor angry, and the business was completely yellow. At this moment, where do they dare to hide it, the more they think about their identity, and take the lead in speaking: "Your Majesty, the land of Gansu has accumulated a lot of disadvantages, and it is rare for the people to get food and clothing, let alone read it. Historically, in the imperial examinations, Gansu has almost always been counted down, so it is a great drudgery to go there to be an official, and those who are not skilled and strong cannot be competent, and collusion between officials and businessmen is inevitable. ”

He paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, what Wei Chen just said is also a thing, although the imperial court has repeatedly issued edicts that profiteers are not allowed to hoard grain or sell it at a high price in famine or disaster years, but it has little effect, after all, the imperial court can't force grain merchants to sell grain?" ”

Feng Wuxian sighed again, and then he gestured a little frustratedly: "You two get up, I was a little impulsive just now, it seems that this restraint is still not at home." Seeing that the two of them were still trembling, he couldn't help but laugh and scold, "It's just that the two of you have eaten a reprimand for nothing, do you need to cringe like this, I didn't say that I want to deal with it!" ”

Yue Qianfan and He Mobin were relieved. He sat down diagonally, and his face was a little sneering. "The emperor is concerned about the people, and it is also for the sake of the country. Weichen and the others just said that they were indeed biased in favor of those officials, and they couldn't complain that the emperor was angry. He Mobin said boldly. Seeing the wind without a trace, his face was calm. He cautiously added, "Your Majesty, there is no peace in the capital now, and it is not appropriate to be too strict with the two provinces, although you are kind." Who knows how those filthy officials will arrange your meaning, maybe it will change the flavor when you misinterpret it. ”

"Huh?" Feng Wuxian raised his eyebrows, obviously he didn't expect He Mobin to say such a reasonable thing. After He Furong returned to Beijing, he took a leave of absence early and refused to participate in political affairs again.

Not only that, but he didn't even see his protΓ©gΓ© in the house, and put on a posture of retirement place.

Although Feng Wuxian was annoyed in his heart, he also knew that the other party had put on an attitude of no longer interfering in politics, and he also took the opportunity to disband the He family to deter the forces of the government and the opposition. However, all this is clearly not in line with the assumption of Wind Without a Trace. If no one can compete with the Shaw party. Won't his hard work be in vain?

"Good!" Feng Wuxian blurted out, "Being able to see the overall situation from the subtleties, He Aiqing seems to have won the three flavors of his father's political strategy." His gaze instantly became deep. He stood up directly from his seat. "The ancients said that governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, and I also know that this matter is urgent. But as an official of the household department, you are in charge of the Lingyun treasury. Naturally, you should know the truth of profit and loss. This time I had to allocate money and food from the treasury, but what about the next time? If you can't deter those insatiable guys, there's no guarantee that they won't get worse! ”

"The Emperor Shengming!" The two praised in unison, but this time it was a little heartfelt. With the inspiration that Yue Qianfan and He Mobin got from their father, they all knew that this new monarch was afraid that he was going to clean up the officialdom. Although Emperor Wanlie has always acted vigorously and resolutely, in his later years, he was jealous of the rat due to heavy constraints, so while the treasury was full, there were more and more corrupt officials in various places. Now that the new monarch has expressed such wishes as soon as he ascends the throne, the two of them immediately have a clear idea of the future direction.

"Very well, if you two can take charge of the treasury, it will be a great credit." Feng Wuxian said with a smile, and then restrained the smile on his face, and said solemnly, "I will announce an edict tomorrow to exempt Gansu and Hubei from paying taxes this year, and send capable people to send them to help them." However, if there is such a catastrophe in the province under his rule, it cannot but be said that it is the Tiangong police, so those officials are not so cheap, and they are all demoted and retained. ”

The addition of the demotion, this was undoubtedly quite appropriate, however, the emperor did not say who would be sent to the two places, which made the two household officials confused. It wasn't until the next day that the edict came out that the two of them saved the emperor's intentions. One is the Supervision Yuan to supervise the imperial history Lianyu and Chang, and the other is the former imperial history, and was demoted to the place by the first emperor, and the new monarch has just brought back the name of the supervision institute after ascending the throne, and they are all exactly the same hard bones.

Bao Huasheng was undoubtedly very satisfied with the emperor's measures, and in his opinion, this kind of thing was led by the imperial history, which also broke the delusions of those officials. Lian Yu is often his most optimistic successor, as for Shi Mingquan, except for his overly stubborn temperament and his stinky temper that can't be changed, everything else is good. With these two people in the local town, there shouldn't be any major mistakes.

After the court was dispersed, he was about to return to the Yamen Council as usual, but was stopped by Hai Guanyu, who was laughing and groaning.

"Lord Bao, the old man has something to ask you for help today, why don't you accompany the old man to see the emperor?" Hai Guanyu's smile had a little weirdness in it, as if he was thinking about something.

Even Bao Huasheng and Hai Guanyu had a deep relationship, and he couldn't help but shudder at this time, and he sniffed out an unusual meaning from the strange look of the other party. However, he was naturally embarrassed to refuse Hai Guanyu's invitation, so he had to nod and agree, but a sense of absurdity surged in his heart.

It seems that since the new monarch ascended the throne, Hai Guanyu and Feng Lizhi have been frequently summoned by Feng Wuxian alone, which makes other officials envious, but the number of times they have been summoned alone is only a handful.

When Feng Wuxian saw Hai Guanyu and Bao Huasheng asking to see each other, his face was not a little surprised, but a little more helpless. "Invite them in." He naturally knew why Hai Guanyu pulled Bao Huasheng in at this time, but this time was too well chosen.

After seeing the ceremony and sitting down, Hai Guanyu said his intention, sure enough, he came to resign from the post of Zaifu, as for the successor, he directly pulled Bao Huasheng in, which made the Lord of the Right Capital extremely depressed. "Your Majesty, you also know that the old minister's body is getting worse day by day, if you can't let Lord Bao get familiar with the position of Zaifu as soon as possible, it will be too late to sharpen the gun in the future."

Hai Guanyu said solemnly, "The old minister is not hypocritical, now the queen mother and Concubine Lan are both members of the Hai family, even in order to avoid suspicion, the old minister has to resign from the post of zaifu." ”

"Hai Lao Aiqing, now is the time of chaos, once you let go, there will be one less person in the DPRK who can suppress the scene." Feng Wuxi's tone raised a little more, "Although I can attract others as confidants, but when it comes to loyalty and reliability, I can't leave you, Prince Yu and Bao Aiqing, if you go, I will lose an arm." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen didn't say that he really wanted to say goodbye!" Hai Guanyu blinked his eyes and replied slyly, "The post of prime minister is taken over by Lord Bao, and the post of bachelor of the old minister is still there, and the assistant government is also a matter of responsibility, who dares to have two words?" He seemed to feel that his words were not clear enough, and he turned his head to Bao Huasheng and said, "This is also a good thing for Lord Bao, in other words, his duties will not be relieved for a while, this time when Lian Yuchang returns to Beijing, your position as the right capital imperial history can also be left to him." As for Lord Feng of the Zuodu Imperial Palace, he is really old, and the emperor should reward him for his retirement, and by the way, let Lord Bao hang up this title. ”

A seamless rhetoric made the other two speechless for a long time, and finally it was Feng Wuxian who broke the deadlock with a smile. "Dare to love the sea old Aiqing is to retreat as advance, which has caused me to worry for a while. But it's good that way, so that someone doesn't have to make trouble. He thought of the bad things in the performance again, his face became gloomy again, and then he ordered Bao Huasheng, "Bao Aiqing was pushed up today, and I have to be more careful in the future, and there are more people staring at this position." It must be known that although Hai Lao Aiqing has been the prime minister of the three dynasties, and has also received the taste of being roasted by this fire, you are the prime minister with a great responsibility! ”

Bao Huasheng listened to the conversation between the two before, and his heart was already full of thousands of feelings, and when he saw the emperor asking, he quickly got up and knelt down in his robe, and bowed down respectfully and responded: "Thanks to the emperor and the sea, Weichen must do his best and die." ”

"Okay, okay, this is not a court play, there is no need for such a serious book." Feng Wuxian personally helped Bao Huasheng up, with an admiring smile on his face, "The person that Hai Lao Aiqing values, the person who the first emperor has taught many times, is definitely not an ordinary loyal minister or direct minister. Bao Aiqing, if you let it go, I will support you. ”

Bao Huasheng actually felt a sour nose, and it was easy to stop his emotions. He glanced at his monarch deeply, nodded heavily, and said: "The emperor can rest assured, the first emperor did not investigate the mistakes of his ministers at the beginning, but reused them many times, and Weichen has long remembered them." Now that the emperor and the sea minister trust him so much, even if there is wind and rain in the future, Weichen will definitely be able to resist it. He said categorically, "As long as Weichen still has a breath of air, those villains will never be allowed to waste and ruin the good foundation of our dynasty!" ”

Bao Huasheng's confession made Feng Wuxian and Hai Guanyu feel throbbing, however, Feng Wuxian saw the wind bones of a pure minister, and Hai Guanyu sighed that Bao Huasheng was too rigid and easy to break. There is no doubt that as a prime minister, he must be prepared to be a confidant of the king, and he must always take care of many things that do not belong to him, and more often, he needs to bear the wrath of the king and the reproaches of the people, not to mention those plots in the shadows. Only when these conditions are met can one be called a truly qualified prime minister.

Bao Huasheng, after all, the city government is too shallow. Hai Guanyu sighed lightly in his heart, but a resolute smile appeared on his face. In any case, in terms of qualifications and official rank, the court can hardly find a more suitable person than him, and no matter how hard he tries, he has to leave a competent prime minister for the court.
