Chapter 41: It's all Shangshu

Within two days of the start of the year, there was turmoil in the court.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, several Xianggong, Gu Jin, Gu Qi, Gu Xi and others entered the side hall.

After eating a bowl of milk, two pieces of dim sum rewarded by the emperor, and a few things, after discussing Shen Yun's vacant household left waiter, Gu Jin smiled and said:

"Zhou Annian, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is sick and can't see things, and it's been almost a year, and I heard from the hospital that my condition has not improved, and it seems to be a little worse.

Since he fell ill and had already received four excerpts from the request for Zhishi, it was better to let him recuperate and recommend someone to preside over the affairs of the ministry, and the Ministry of Rites could not be left unattended for many years. ”

"The prince is thoughtful, the minister was still talking to Du Xiang and Pan Xiang about Zhou Shangshu yesterday, and the minister seconded it." Prime Minister Wu Xiang bowed to say that he also meant the same.

"Well, the one from before, it's really true, he is in Beijing, and the rest of the details, you can discuss it first and show it to me.

Let's talk about the candidates for the two vacancies. The emperor leaned on the pillow a little tiredly.

"The Ministry of Rites is the position of the prime minister, it is advisable to think about one more step, and the minister thinks that the Marquis of Yongping is the best." Gu Jin unceremoniously proposed first.

Yongping Hou Shen He was anxiously thinking about who to recommend for this newly vacated position of Shangshu, and whether he could catch it in his own hands, when he heard Gu Jin's proposal, he looked at the emperor in amazement.

Shen Mingshu, who was standing behind Gu Qi, heard the phrase Yongping Hou is the best, glared at Gu Jin, and hurriedly looked at his father from Gu Jin, and then followed his father's gaze to look at the emperor.

The emperor was drooping his eyelids and slowly sipping a bowl of soup.

"The Ministry of Rites is responsible for education, and the Ministry of Rites is still a book, and the German character is extremely important.

Because the Marquis of Yongping couldn't join the family, he just knelt in public at the gate of Prince Rui's mansion for a day. ”

The second prince, Gu Qi, looked at Gu Jin and hesitated.

Gu Jin ignored Gu Qi.

Wu Xiang and the others, as usual, only did not hear the words of the second prince Gu Qi.

"What the second master said is very true, the minister is afraid that he can't afford it, please ask the emperor to take a look!" Yongping Marquis Shen He hurriedly answered, and when he said that he asked the emperor to take a clear look, he aggravated his tone and looked at the emperor eagerly.

If the second brother is still there, he will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites and recommend the second brother to take over the household department, which is an excellent thing.

But now that the second brother has been killed, he has been kneeling at the door of Prince Rui's mansion for a day, and the hearts of the people in the household department have been a little turbulent, and he will be transferred to the Ministry of Rites again, and the household department is afraid that he will give it up.

Although the Ministry of Rites is known as the Prime Minister, there has never been a visit from the position of the Ministry of Rites!

"What do you see?" The emperor looked at several ministers.

"What the second master said just now is very reasonable. The Ministry of Rites has the responsibility of education, but the responsibility of this education is the responsibility of the ministry. Besides, although the Marquis Shen family was at fault, it was just a momentary negligence.

The minister thought that it was the phase, and Marquis Shen could also afford it. Wu Xiangxian bowed and replied.

"Shen Yun is vacant in the household department, if he is transferred to Shen Hou Ye again, the household department will have one Shangshu and two waiters, and only Sun Zhou Sun will be left.

This year, it is necessary to clean up and replace several large granaries such as Yongjiaku, and the spring endowment is imminent, and the granary tax is extremely difficult to start.

The minister thought that at least at this time, it was not appropriate for Marquis Shen to be transferred. "Du Xiang has always been straightforward.

"The minister thinks that if you want to be transferred, the household department must first have a suitable candidate." Pan Xiang pushed the transfer of Yongping Hou to another matter.

Shen Mingshu, who was standing behind the second prince Gu Qi, nodded hurriedly.

That's it! Transferring his father to the Ministry of Rites, isn't the book of the household department vacant, how can there be such a demolition of the east wall to make up the west wall!

Although Pan Xiang's words were not in place, they were a little meaningful.

He stood behind the second master, just a student, and he didn't have the right to speak, otherwise......

Shen Mingshu glanced at Gu Jin hatefully, if he could speak, he would have been dismissed to the point where he had nothing to say!

Gu Xi sat under Gu Jin, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't say a word.

Gu Jin looked at the emperor and said with a smile: "Looking at the situation this year, even if it is not a good year like the year before last and last year, it is also a rare good year."

In three consecutive harvest years, from Yongjiacang to Yicang in various states and counties, it is time to take advantage of the harvest year to exchange new grain, extract old grain, and take advantage of the exchange to thoroughly investigate the granaries everywhere.

In the old years, when I came to adjust the warehouse and check the warehouse, it was often flooded and burned, and there were many incidents.

The minister thought that this matter must be acted quickly, the blade must be sharp, and the prince is the most suitable. ”

Gu Jin pointed at Gu Xi.

Yongping Hou Shen He's anger is uneven, and he really opened his eyes when he snatched it to such a point!

"What does the minister mean," Gu Jin continued: "The prince has the right to know the affairs of the household department, and Shi Ping, the transfer envoy of Huainan West Road, has been transferred to the left waiter of the household department.

After serving two terms as a transfer envoy on Huainan West Road, he returned to Beijing to report on his work, and had returned to the capital a year ago.

Before Shi Ping was transferred to Huainan West Road as a transfer envoy, he worked in the household department for 17 years, from the hall official to Langzhong, until the right attendant of the household department, the two transfer envoys, and the evaluation was excellent. ”

"What do you see?" The emperor was silent for a moment and looked at Wu Xiang and the others.

"I think it's appropriate." Wu Xiang bowed and simply replied.

"Your Majesty, check the granaries everywhere and replace the old with the new, this matter, the minister discussed it with the second master a few years ago, and also told the emperor once, and the household department has already started to do it.

As for going to various places for on-the-spot verification, the minister thought that Mingshu was very suitable, and it also happened to give him a chance to study. ”

Yongping Hou Shen He couldn't help it, and said before Du Xiang.

Shen Mingshu held back his belly, and could only nod desperately.

Hasn't he done it once or twice to check the granary, hasn't he just gone over to look at it and see if the printing on the granary has moved, what else?

It's too much of an excuse!

"The minister thinks that it is indeed a big deal to check the granary, but the prince personally checks it, is it a bit overkill?

Although Shen Mingshu said that he was young and had almost no experience, if he picked one or two old household officials and went together, the minister thought that it would be very safe. Du Xiang owed.

Yongping Hou Shen He kept nodding.

That's what it means!

"Speaking of granaries, several military granaries, do they also have to be checked and replaced? The minister thought that he had to ask Pang Shumi about this. Pan Xiang talked about another thing as usual.

"Well, let's talk about it again, what's next?" The emperor raised his eyes to look at Wu Xiang.

After discussing a few more things, everyone dispersed, Yongping Hou slowed down, approaching Donghua Gate, and Shen Mingshu rushed up from behind.

"Daddy!" Shen Mingshu was a little out of breath, "I just said a few words to the second master, so that the second master has to have his own ideas about everything, but the second master." ”

Shen Mingshu sighed annoyedly, "He feels that it is all for the country and the people, and he should not care more about personal gains and losses." I can't say more. ”

Yongping Hou Shen He waved his hand, "The second master is a scholar, and the emperor has spoken, saying that he is that kind of character, and he is not allowed to say more." Here he is, let's talk about it later.

I have to talk to my mother about this matter quickly and see if I can talk to the emperor.

And your sister-in-law, you have to hurry up and say something, it's best to talk to the prince, enter the palace and ask the emperor to say a sentence or two. ”

"I'm going to find the sister-in-law, Niangniang's side, let's let my sister go, A-Niang goes to Niangniang, she has never been able to do anything, Niangniang loves her sister the most." Shen Mingshu agreed.

"It's not that your sister loves your sister the most, it's that your sister has insight and the ability to talk about it.

You hurry up to see your sister-in-law, and I'll let your sister enter the palace to see you when I go back. ”

The two talked, went out of Donghua Gate, Yongping Marquis Shen He went straight back to the house, and Shen Mingshu went straight to Prince Rui's mansion.
