When Li Shimin left, Liu Yijie rubbed his aching cheeks and let out a sigh.

Since the conversation between Xiao Zheng and Li Shimin, he has never closed his mouth, and only then did he really understand that he was really capable of being the second master!

Wei Zheng is not afraid of death and dares to anger Long Yan, this master is forced to take out the money from the dragon's mouth and make the saint take it for granted, just look at the name of the year and this word from today, the young man is not wronged at all!

"Liu Shaoqing, you can't ask for any less money for the sage's furniture, and if you ask for less money, I will deduct it from your money."

"The subordinate obeys!" Liu Yijie's eyes when he looked at Xiao Zheng now completely changed from respect to worship.

Du Ruhui looked at Xiao Zheng straightly, his expression was very complicated, he couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing, and said after a while: "In terms of age, I am at least ten years older than you, and the matter of the saint's palace can be said by you Lord Xiao so deeply and righteously and high-sounding, in terms of speculating on the holy will, meeting the mind of the saint, my old Du admits it!" ”。

"Du Shangshu has won the award, hey! Lao Du, you just say that I am a good sycophant, why are you scolding me in a roundabout way! After saying that, the two laughed and .......

"Liu Shaoqing, Lord Liu!" Xiao Zheng's shouts came from the room.

"How much money do I have for my 20,000 yuan?" After Liu Yijie walked in, Xiao Zheng asked.

"Back to my lord, I spent a total of 15,000 yuan on the relief of the victims, including things on the edge of the Jianqu River."

"It's okay, it's not much, the 20,000 guan seems to be okay, I thought it was over," Xiao Zheng said.

Liu Yijie glanced at him, and thought to himself, that is, you, Lord Xiao, really regard money as dung, 20,000 yuan! The country is so poor that even today's saints have to weigh it in their hearts when they criticize it.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, all the ministers of the court and China accompanied Li Shimin through the first first day since his accession to the throne, and when the edict of the new era name was read out by the chamberlain, all the officials knelt on the ground to congratulate. Datang finally ushered in the beginning of his prosperous life!

After the Yuan Ri Dynasty came back, he was so tired that his whole body was weak, and he lay on the kang and hummed. Listening to Jin'er's shouting outside and arranging for his subordinates to prepare gifts and go to various houses, he wanted to laugh, it seems that he has become a nobleman, and the exchange of gifts is also indispensable.

After taking a spare time, the couple went to Gongyi's house again, but Daoist Sun Simiao still didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Zheng, and passed the word that he didn't want to see him, so he had no choice but to let Jin'er bring a generous gift to Sun Daochang.

After the fifth day of the first month, Wang Quan and Zhang Shun rushed over with a few villagers in the village, Lao Wang Quan smiled and said that you are also a member of our village when you become a national prince, and the villagers do not go to who you go to, this is reasonable, the family accompanied the villagers to visit Chang'an City for two days, and the days passed like this.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Jin'er got up in the middle of the night and waited for Xiao Zheng to wear and enter the court neatly to participate in the first court meeting of the first year of Zhenguan. When I arrived at the gate of the palace, it was still dark, and I could only see through the lantern which of the court officials was coming. At the gate of the palace, Xue Rengui saw that Xiao Zheng was coming, so he simply pretended to let him go.

When I arrived at the brightly lit Xiande Hall, when Li Shimin sat on the dragon chair, after the civil and military officials finished worshipping, they listened to Li Shimin's dictation after the official finished the ceremony, which was nothing more than the official words that everyone should work hard to contribute to the construction of the Tang Dynasty in the new year. Next, some civil servants took out the ornate congratulatory sheets and read them, and some civil officials in the DPRK and China were so drunk that they shook their heads and seemed to be enjoying themselves.

Xiao Zheng heard it in the clouds, anyway, he didn't have his own business, he looked at the military generals on the opposite side, Wei Chi's old black eyes were almost unable to open, Cheng Biting Jin was more direct, and after coming in, he found a place to hide against the pillar, it seemed that he was squinting, and the others seemed to be drowsy.

Thinking about it, he was also extremely bored to listen to, his butt moved back and let Du Ruhui in front, got up too early to catch up on sleep, and began to close his eyes and feel sleepy.

In a daze, I suddenly heard someone say in a loud voice: "Sage, the minister has a book, and the minister has seized the money of my left guard for no reason, which has caused my left guard's military expenses to be stretched and affected morale, so I ask the sage to punish the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

Xiao Zheng woke up as soon as he heard it, who is this? After eating enough, I just started the New Year and gave Lao Tzu's Ministry of Civil Affairs a shot, and my Ministry of Civil Affairs recruited you to provoke you.

When I looked up, I saw that it was Hou Junji, this guy was transferred back from Luoyang a few years ago, and he became the general of the left guard in the squad of Wei Chi Laohei.

The money owed to the left and right Wuwei last year has not been pulled out, and this guy has brought people to come twice, and there has been no war in Datang recently, so this money has been dragged out and not given. Unexpectedly, after this guy became the general of the Left Guard, he relied on Li Shimin's backstage to show off his might two or three times after arriving at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Du Ruhui didn't pay attention to him, and he didn't think that he would bring this matter up at this juncture of the Great Dynasty Meeting.

Everyone understands in their hearts that now the treasury of the Tang Dynasty is empty, and if Xiao Zheng didn't get this money to make the bottom of the Turks, they don't dare to say whether the expenses of the court can be reached for spring ploughing. Although Li Shimin gave the money, he didn't want the departments to be honest, and to put it bluntly, he asked the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be this villain.

From a certain point of view, the Ministry of Civil Affairs is carrying the black pot on Li Shimin, which means why Wei Chi Laohei and Cheng Yanjin both threatened to dismantle the Ministry of Civil Affairs and not bring this matter to the court, everyone knows it.

It seems that everything in this court is quite casual, but when it comes to business, everyone discusses with their own small group before acting, unless there is an emergency.

Now that Hou Junji brought up the old matter again, he suddenly stood up and fired a cannon, especially on the first day of the new year, he directly aimed the spearhead at the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the nature of this matter was changed when it was raised at the court meeting, which is nothing more than tearing his face, and it is obviously a two-hundred-five behavior that is not considered.

When he said this, not only did the atmosphere in the court change, but even Li Jing, the secretary of the military department who had just taken office, looked at him with some annoyance, Fang Xuanling and the eldest grandson Wuji looked at each other and shook their heads.

Damn, Lao Tzu stayed here for a good time for the New Year, and it was heart-stopping to encounter such a mallet.

"Ministry of Civil Affairs, what do you think of what General Hou said?" Li Shimin's tone was very calm.

Du Ruhui patted Xiao Zheng, got up, walked to His Majesty Dan, saluted Li Shimin, and said, "The minister has something to say."

Turning to Hou Junji, he asked, "Dare to greet the general, where is this ten thousand guan used?" ”

"Why did Lord Du knowingly ask, this money had already been prepared to be used to change the armament."

"Okay, what kind of armament will the general use to replace, and the crossbow will be replaced? How do you change knives and guns? How much does the arrow replace? Is there a specific number to be told? ”

"This, I don't know if he has just taken office in the next place" How could he know these specific circumstances less than two months after he took office.

"Then you don't know the detailed purpose of this money and how to use this money well, every piece of money stored in my Datang treasury is people's fat and people's ointment, if you don't know where this money is used, it is very easy to be greedy, my Ministry of Civil Affairs has sent someone to investigate before issuing this money."

Du Ruhui's voice raised a little and said loudly: "The armed crossbow of the left guard is well maintained, and it has been damaged less than one percent since the Turks came to invade the border in August, and this one can be repaired by the craftsmen of my Taifu Temple, and the broken knives and guns need to be replaced, even if all the new weapons need to be replaced with less than a thousand yuan, if there is no major war in the armor, there is no need to supplement the ......, according to the current situation, if there is no major war in the Tang Dynasty, it is enough to meet the city defense" Du Ruhui seemed to have a clear understanding of the situation of the left guard.

After saying these data, Du Ruhui said to Hou Junji: "General Hou, you are not as familiar with the situation of Zuowei as I am a layman, and I am worried that the general's improper management of this matter is likely to lead to misappropriation and corruption."

Before Junji could speak, Du Ruhui arched his hand to Li Shimin and said: "Sage, in order to prevent the occurrence of embezzlement of ink, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has prepared the relevant regulations and forms since this year for the approval of the sage, and in the future, the application for funds from various departments shall be filled in according to the form, and the cost of each arrow must be clearly written, and after the replacement is in place, the Ministry of Civil Affairs or the Imperial Envoy will conduct inventory and verification to prevent corruption from happening. The Ministry of Civil Affairs will report to the saints to implement it accordingly, and this system can effectively prevent corruption."

Xiao Zheng has been watching Du Ruhui and Hou Junji fight, watching the usually gentle and elegant Du Ruhui quarrel, and it seems that he is really an expert!

"Agreed! It seems that Du Qing has put a lot of thought into the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he deserves to be given the best rank to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and I am accurate! Li Shimin said.
