Although the cabinet has already consulted with the emperor many times in the past two days, and the plan has almost been drawn up, it still has to be discussed at the court meeting, and this link is the ancestral system, so it cannot be omitted. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Even if this is just a formality, it can show that the emperor and the ministers of the cabinet are not arbitrary and self-serving.

Of course, below the cabinet, the officials also have a tacit understanding and will not stand up and speak, which will hurt the elders.

In addition to supervising the imperial history and the six branches, the officials here are all above the fourth grade, and they are qualified to worship under the old man's door, and they really have their own ideas, and they have long been provided to the old man in private for reference.

Those who are not qualified to intersect with the elder will not speak.

Li Shimin looked at Li Huangshan and asked, "What does the Qing family think should be handled?" ”

Li Huangshan said: "Weichen thought that the household department could be responsible for purchasing grain, and ordered Zuo Xiaowei's army to be responsible for escorting grain and grass to various disaster-stricken areas in Hebei, Guizhou and other five prefectures, and these matters could be supervised by the cabinet Lord Yang. ’

Cabinet Minister Yang Xizhi came from a poor family, but Li Shimin was a confidant who was pulled up by Li Shimin, Li Shimin was very relieved of his ability and temperament, he nodded and said: "Just according to what Aiqing said." ’

Yang Xizhi stood up, but said: "Your Majesty, the five states have been affected by the disaster, and the amount of grain and grass involved is huge, and there must be no one who will not be supervised. ’

"Hmm" Li Shimin nodded, he hadn't touched on this aspect when he had discussed with several cabinet ministers before, but this really needed to be taken seriously, he looked around the hall and asked, "Do you think Aiqing thinks who can be in charge of this great task in supervising the imperial history?" ”

One of the people in the queue supervising the imperial history stood in the center of the main hall, did not shy away from Li Shimin's gaze, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has the courage to recommend himself to supervise the distribution of grain and grass, and he must do his best to prevent the glamorous and ghostly people from taking advantage of it!" ’

"Oh?" Li Shimin became a little interested, although he was a little dissatisfied with him as a petty sesame official who stood up without authorization, but he also admired his courage, and couldn't help but say to him: "Qing's courage is commendable, but the matter of food is very important, can you really be not afraid of power and temptation?" ”

The civil and military officials under the rank all muttered a little in their hearts, what is power, who will tempt him, is this referring to Sang scolding Huai?

Hu Dahai said impassionedly: "For the sake of national affairs and justice in my heart, the minister will die without regret!" ”

"Good!" Li Shimin slapped the armrest on the dragon chair with his hand, if these words were said by officials over the age of thirty, he would only feel disgusted, but since it came from the mouth of Hu Dahai, a new champion who was only twenty years old, it was worth his believing.

Shouldn't young people of this age be so enthusiastic and simple?

"Cough" was when Li Shimin's face was red when he was moved by Hu Dahai and wanted to say something, a cough interrupted all his passion, as if he was suddenly yelling in his ear when he was doing something, and there was no smell at all.

He looked at the place where the voice came from with red eyes, but saw Yang Shen slowly stand up from the team in front of him, bowed down and saluted him, and said in a strange manner: "Grandstanding, this is a traitorous villain who is flattering, Your Majesty Shengming, you must not fail to investigate." ”

Seeing that it was Yang Shen, he was not so angry, and glared at him fiercely, Li Shimin said lightly: "Rong Guogong must not be prejudiced because Hu Aiqing once impeached you, as a minister in the same palace, you should care for each other and be diligent in the king's affairs, how can you attack each other because of discord in official affairs?"

When Yang Shen heard this, his face turned red, and he was about to open his mouth to refute, but Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "Okay, there is no need to discuss this matter anymore, the person who has been selected is Hu Aiqing." ’

Yang Xizhi wanted to speak and stopped, but seeing that the emperor had made up his mind, he finally sighed in his heart and stopped talking.

It's a good thing to want to serve the country with a fist, but it's too late, I'm afraid of a big disaster!

Li Shimin continued to speak: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you still want to report something? ’

Xue Huaiyi, the right attendant of the Ministry of War, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, there is a shortage of weapons on the northern front, and although the iron-smelting workshop of the Ministry of War is not short of raw materials, there is a serious shortage of various ingredients and needs to be purchased. ”

Seeing that it was this person who spoke, Li Shimin's face was congested with blood when he heard this, and the green tendons on his hands were rising, and he finally suppressed his emotions of wanting to run away, and looked at Xue Huaiyi's eyes with a deep killing intent: "If I remember correctly, you only asked me for money last month, and it's only been a month, why did the money run out so quickly?" ’

Xue Huaiyi seemed to have been greatly wronged, and gave Li Shimin a long look: "Your Majesty, the whereabouts of the money are clearly recorded in the account books, if Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to verify." ”

As he spoke, his emotions became excited: "Since Weichen entered the court, he has been diligent in state affairs, sleeps at night, and is conscientious, and he does not dare to slack off in the slightest, why does His Majesty be so suspicious today? He put the black gauze hat on his head to the ground and shouted, "Beggar bones, please beg!" ”

Li Shimin only felt that he was as disgusting as eating a dead child, this guy was greedy for more than 20% of the military salary, and he even had the face to pretend to be a loyal minister in front of him, he was a little disheartened, and he didn't bother to continue to see this person's ugliness, so he waved his hand and said: "I'm tired, let's discuss the rest of the things another day." ”

As he spoke, he ignored the thoughts of the courtiers below, and got up and left by himself.

The ministers below had no choice but to bow down in unison and say, 'Congratulations to Your Majesty.' ’

Walking out of the palace, Yang Shen and the Great Elder Yang Kaikai returned to the Yang Mansion together, and as soon as they entered the mansion, Yang Shen immediately ordered someone to call Yang Jifeng, the leader of the dark department, to the study.

When Yang Shen arrived outside the study, he found that Yang Jifeng was already waiting outside. Seeing Yang Shen, he bowed slightly and said, "Family master." ”

Yang Shen smiled slightly apologetically, gently pushed the door open, and the two walked in turn.

Yang Shen poured two cups of tea for the two of them, handed Yang Changfeng a cup, and then sat down on the chair behind the desk, pointed to a chair opposite and said, "Commander, please take a seat." ”

Yang Jifeng said: "Thank you to the head of the family", and then sat down with kindness, but asked again: "I don't know what the head of the family has to do with his subordinates?" ”

Yang Shen asked, "The commander should remember Hu Dahai, right?" ”

Yang Jifeng said: "How can you forget? He was the most promising of the children adopted fifteen years ago, and now he is the new champion. ”

There was a hint of envy in his eyes.

People like him, even though the power they hold is far from being comparable to that of a champion, but they can only live in the shadows for the rest of their lives, and people may fear him, but few people will respect him.
