Lao Jiu's words naturally shocked everyone in the room, and no one expected that the final result would be like this?

Not only did they not have to lose money, but the emperor also took out the money.

How do you hear this thing and how do you feel mysterious, but I think about it, but I can't find any flaws, besides, their family is poor and white, what does the emperor like about them?

This question has been haunting the heads of almost everyone, but it has never achieved any results.

The foot restriction order of the Wuhou House was lifted, and the neighbors were not allowed to monitor their whereabouts, and everything returned to the way it was before, except for the lack of people in the family.

"Your Majesty, the slave really can't understand why you have to pay for those people? Even if you are sympathetic to the people and order that the compensation is waived, the Academy of Sciences will not say anything, but if you do this, the days in the palace will be over this year. Song Zhong's face was full of depression.

Song Zhong personally handled the matter, and he also paid the money, which was the real payment, not the kind of behavior of announcing the payment without paying the money.

Money, naturally, comes from the royal family.

The royal family has a fixed amount of expenses every year, and the cost of 4,000 yuan a year is enough if it is not extravagant and wasteful.

Of course, the royal family does not have such a small amount of money, and the inner government has a large amount of money, but that money is not allowed to be misappropriated.

In other words, the two hundred and twelve yuan of money taken out by the royal family was squeezed out of their own expenses.

There is a fixed amount of royal spending, and after a few years, it has almost figured out the pattern, even if there is a deviation, this gap will not be too big, and where the money will be used, there was a plan at the beginning of the year.

Now, naturally, some of those plans will have to be cut.

"There are some things that you don't understand!" Li Yuanji responded lightly and did not continue to talk about this issue.

The residual heat about this case is still fermenting, first the initial verdict, and then half a month later, the emperor's handling of this matter came.

How could such a big thing be hidden from everyone?

Besides, Li Yuanji never intended to hide it from others, he had no idea, and there was no need for this.

Naturally, there are many people who applaud among the people, and there are also many who sigh, and even more people sigh at the luck of the seven families.

Because everyone knows, this is the first time, and the same is the last time, the next time, no matter what the situation, no matter how much money is lost, the emperor will not come forward to solve it, some people feel unfair, but no one is willing to risk their own lives to do this experiment.

But in any case, Li Yuanji's popularity among the people has skyrocketed a lot again.

Does the Emperor need to brush up on prestige?

Of course it does, but the emperor's method of gaining prestige is different from that of ordinary officials, and sometimes, the emperor only needs to make a small move to bring endless prestige.

And will the emperor make mistakes?

Yes! Nor will it!

Because of the emperor's mistakes, the outside world will not know, and no one dares to let them know, this is what it will be.

Because of the mistakes made by the emperor, there will always be ministers to help him take this responsibility off, so this is not going to happen.

"Your Majesty's political methods are getting tougher and tougher, and there are more and more tricks!" In a living room, a few hot teas, a few people, sitting on chairs with solemn faces.

"yes, what should I do next?" Another chimed in.

"Do you want to go or stay? If the old man didn't have this concern before, but now, the old man is really afraid! ”

Several people nodded secretly, acquiescing to their colleagues' opinions.

Regarding the rumors about the case in front of them in the outside world, because the people have seen the world is limited, many internal things cannot be seen, even ordinary officials can't see it.

But how could they, the ministers who often stayed by the emperor's side, not see it?

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find the problem.

As early as the beginning, Li Yuanji's political methods were very immature, and all his methods were relatively mild, although sometimes they would be tougher, but that kind of toughness was often the kind of toughness that was unreasonable, just like two people fighting, and they were directly smashed in front of the face, and they didn't bother to cover it up at all.

But now, Li Yuanji has changed, he has become more scheming, although the means are equally gentle, but that is only the surface, and in terms of buying people's hearts, they are even more caught off guard.

The rumors from the outside world are obviously manipulated by someone, otherwise, there would never be a single attitude.

This is based on years of experience, and a rumor, whether good or bad, is bound to change its meaning after passing through the mouths of a hundred people.

But now there is no change in the slightest, it seems that there is just a trend of change, and it was forcefully dragged back.

"Although this is just a trivial matter, I must not be careless, accompany you like a tiger!" Fang Xuanling felt more and more tired, if it was before, he would definitely not say such a thing, but now, he had to say it.

The impact of Li Yuanji on him is too great, although on the surface, the emperor has taken the initiative to give up some power and pay more attention to the reasonable combination of individuals, but this kind of thing cannot only look at the surface.

Although Li Yuanji has not done that kind of thing to unload the mill and kill the donkey until now, he has never had this intention.

But for Li Yuanji's rapid changes year after year, they still have lingering palpitations.

"Guys, let's talk about this now, isn't it too early? Isn't there still half a year to go? Zhang Xingcheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, frowned slightly, he always felt that something was wrong when discussing this at this time.

"Is it early? It's not too early! Fang Xuanling responded: "If Your Majesty has this intention, at this time, we should take a back seat and escort the people behind us, so as not to make mistakes at the beginning of our tenure." ”

The rest of the people nodded one after another, Fang Xuanling was right.

This kind of thing must be prepared in advance, otherwise, there will definitely be problems at that time.

Li Yuanji will not allow this kind of problem to occur, and once something goes wrong, he will never let them go.

Originally, this content should have been discussed long after the New Year's Day, but no one wanted to discuss it at the time, and this case was actually a fuse, prompting them to sit down and talk about the root cause of the problem.

The thing is very simple, it is the decree issued by Li Yuanji in the second year after his accession to the throne, that is, in the first year of Shenyuan.

The decree is mainly used to regulate the appointment of officials, the most important of which is the five-year term, that is, every five years, there will be a change.

And for this change, there is no obvious rule, it is possible to stay in this position without moving, and stay in this position for another five years, or until the emperor sends someone to take over.

It is also possible to be transferred at the same level, and it is also possible to be promoted, or to retire directly.

This regulation is very unfamiliar to them, but the deterrent effect is also quite large, and the opposition among officials is still relatively strong, but they only dare to discuss it in private, and no one dares to discuss it on the table, let alone criticize this method.

Because at the beginning of the promulgation of the decree, Li Yuanji explained the reason for the existence of this decree.

In order to prevent officials from losing motivation, to put it bluntly, it is to prevent officials from staying in one position for a long time and thus exerting huge influence in the sector.

Regular changes of officials were beneficial to the emperor's rule, because frequent transfers would allow those officials who had just established their own local influence to start from scratch, and the new officials would inevitably not trust this power.

And in this regard, most officials do not dare to go too far.

Because with the advent of the imperial examination era, more and more scholars have been able to enter the official career through the imperial examination, if these officials are too keen to form their own forces, they will inevitably be inferior to others in terms of political performance, it does not matter if they are once or twice, and they will definitely be cut down three or four times.

And those poor children who entered the official career through the imperial examination are actually waiting for such an opportunity.

Coupled with some ideological concepts and other problems of the ancients, there are only two choices in front of them now, either to complete the task with diligence, or to form their own forces, to challenge the prestige of the emperor, to see if they will be so unlucky to be cleaned up, and to see which lucky person can take their place?

And the grassroots yamen of Datang is now also in a strange phenomenon.

If it was in the past, if you wanted to mix well, you had to stand in line.

But now, it can only be described in one sentence, standing in line is risky, and you need to be cautious before standing.

Because of the transfer of officials, an ordinary grassroots official will not be transferred, and the so-called transfer refers to officials with a certain status, and not all officials must be transferred.

Coupled with the continuous inspection and secret visits of a large number of supervisors, after dealing with several similar cases, other yamen became frightened birds.

"It's better for the old man to try His Majesty's attitude!" Zhang Gongjin shook his head with a smile, and lost a lot of weight before the body wallpaper.

Zhang Gongjin is not a member of the cabinet, but the governor of Xiangzhou, this kind of feudal official-level figure, naturally belongs to one of the objects to be replaced.

Of course, for a governor like Zhang Gongjin, in fact, they don't have many options, they are transferred to other states to serve as governors, or transferred to the imperial court, they can be transferred back as governors, how to say that they have to enter the cabinet at this level, the problem is that the cabinet does not have so many positions, and if they want to come back, someone has to leave.

"Hongshen, it's not appropriate for you to go to this matter, Your Majesty said before that he intends to transfer one or two governors back to the court and enter the cabinet, and Hongshen's achievements in Xiangzhou are also obvious to all, so this time there is a lot of hope, and you must not destroy your future." Fang Xuanling's face tightened, and he hurriedly dissuaded.

Zhang Gongjin smiled slightly, indicating that he accepted the other party's kindness: "Don't worry, if Your Majesty is interested, he will not let the old man return, on the contrary, the old man can take a good rest, recuperate at home, and enjoy the joy of family......"
