Chapter 259: Unusual
In the imperial study, there was silence for a while.
The emperor didn't rush either, giving them time to think.
For the princes, this question was not easy to answer.
Although it is very broad, you can say anything you want, and there is no standard, just depend on what you say.
But that's why you need to think about it.
You can't answer it all the way, but you can't answer it outstandingly.
Being too good and too flamboyant is not the way to cultivate obscurity.
Of the four standing, none of them showed outstanding talent or amazing talent outside, and the one who was too ostentatious had already been lying at home and become a living dead, and it was impossible to even stand.
Moreover, when the emperor asked for opinions, he hoped that they would put forward some opinions, not praise a certain official of the yamen.
And to pick thorns, you must have something to say and be reasonable.
Also, you can't pick on "your own people".
But as soon as he came up, he picked an obvious "hostile", and he seemed ambitious and impatient.
You have to be modest, and you have to be offended everywhere......
So much so that where to cut into is the point that you don't need to think about carefully.
In the end, Zhu Mao, who was the oldest, spoke first.
He was talking about the dredging of the Songjiang River.
The silver allocated by the imperial court last year was divided between Wei Shi and local officials, and very few of them were really implemented.
The case of embezzlement of ink must be handled, but the dredging cannot be delayed, and a new batch of silver has been allocated a few days ago, and it is necessary to make some achievements before the rainy season this year.
In the Xi Yuan Palace, this was discussed a few days ago.
The budget is made in comparison with the audit document of last year, which is fake, but it is still very decent.
Songjiang passes through several prefectures, and dredging is not a matter of one place, and it has to be cooperated by the yamen of the state capital.
Huo Huaiding investigated the case and pulled out a series of crabs, the new officials did not fully arrive, the old officials were uneven and suspicious of each other.
When the question was raised, Zhu Mao modestly lowered his eyes and said: "Corrupt officials must be caught, not connived, dredging is related to people's livelihood, don't do it in the near future, and when summer comes, if there is a lot of rain, it will overflow the dam, forming a flood, and the loss will be heavy." Neither of them can be delayed, and the sons and daughters can't think of a comprehensive method. ”
The emperor did not comment, only signaled Zhu Huan to speak.
Zhu Huan's answer was very decent.
After he finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the imperial study.
If you look at age, it should be Huo Yixiao next, but from the perspective of identity, it has to be Zhu Yu.
In the past, there were also so many people who were called to the imperial study together, but almost all of them were said by the emperor, and they all listened honestly, and rarely asked one after another.
Yes, Zhu Yu will "cross" Huo Yixiao to "answer".
Huo Yixiao was just "present", but he didn't speak, and the emperor didn't ask him more.
In this way, the surface is maintained, at most, after going out, Zhu Sheng and Zhu Yu are yin and yang.
But today, Zhu Yu uncharacteristically did not "rob".
And he stood there respectfully, not moving.
Huo Yixiao stood a little back, and he glanced at Zhu Yu's back.
Zhu Yu is a very casual person, which is not the same as the quick-tempered Zhu Sheng.
And Zhu Yu often puts his dislike for Huo Yixiao on the surface, and now he looks like "giving way......
Huo Yixiao glanced at Zhu Huan again, and roughly understood what Zhu Yu meant.
In recent days, the relationship between Huo Yixiao and Zhu Huan has tended to ease.
Zhu Huan braved the rain to Shuyu Palace, and Huo Yixiao was also called to Qingyun Palace by Zhu Huan.
Zhu Yu and Zhu Huan live in Qingyun Palace together, it is impossible for him not to know this.
Silence, it was Zhu Yu waiting for the emperor to speak.
If the emperor asked Huo Yixiao first, it would be tantamount to including him among the princes.
It is true that everyone present knows it, but the meaning of knowing and admitting it is not the same.
It's a step from the details to the formal paperwork.
In this way, Zhu Huan must be embarrassed.
Huo Yixiao lowered his eyelids, he knew that the emperor would not ask him.
It's not that he doesn't have an identity, admits it or not, but he said before that he learned so many things in Xi Yuan Palace, and he didn't understand or know the specific things in the yamen.
This is the answer once, and it's the same twice.
The answer to throwing the question back so lightly, the emperor wanted to listen to it a second time when he was full.
Sure enough, the emperor took a sip of tea, his sharp gaze fell on Zhu Yu's body, and said, "Have you thought about what to say?" ”
Zhu Yu pursed his lower lip, quickly let go, opened his mouth and began to say his thoughts.
However, his mind was not on the topic.
The royal front replied, he either looked at the king or the ground, and it was impossible to look left and right, so Zhu Yu had no way to see Zhu Huan's reaction, let alone Huo Yixiao's expression behind him.
Zhu Yu couldn't even say it, the emperor asked him so directly, whether he was happy or disappointed, so that when it came to the second half, he was not sure if there was a problem with what he said.
Fortunately, the emperor just listened, and had no intention of discussing it with him in detail.
"It sounds like I still learned something in Xi Yuan Palace," the emperor leaned back in his chair and said, "However, for you now, it's all on paper, and you don't have experience in really dealing with government affairs." In this way, starting tomorrow, starting from the six ministries to observe the government, pick one place by yourself, and in March, I will give you a year and a half of work to first figure out how the six yamen do things. ”
When the words fell, Zhu Mao and the three of them were either surprised or excited, and responded.
Zhu Mao went to the Criminal Department, Zhu Yu picked the Ministry of Officials, and Zhu Huan chose the Ministry of Households.
The matter was decided, and Gonggong Wu sent a few people out.
The sun was already in the west, and the sunset was half in the side.
Under the corridor, Zhu Mao paused and said, "Starting tomorrow, we will have to be busy with our own affairs, I will do the east tonight, drink two cups?" ”
Zhu Yu was distracted, and was patted on the shoulder by Zhu Mao, before he came back to his senses and said, "It's just right, I haven't heard Huo Yixiao talk about my thoughts." ”
Huo Yixiao said: "Just like what the emperor just said, my thoughts are also on paper, empty and not solid enough, Your Royal Highness Fourth should not listen to it." ”
Zhu Yu's face sank.
On the surface, Huo Yixiao's words were self-deprecating, but in fact, they degraded several of them in it.
After all, the paper is stamped by the emperor, and everyone is the same.
Zhu Mao coughed lightly and wanted to play a round, but he didn't expect it, but Zhu Huan smiled when he heard it.
This kind of reaction, resting on Zhu Huan, is also abnormal.
"You drink, I won't go," Zhu Huan said, "I promised my mother to accompany her to dinner." ”
After Zhu Huan finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Huo Yixiao followed unhurriedly.
Then, one went to the harem and the other went out of the palace gate.
Huo Yixiao returned to Xihua Hutong and entered the house, and he heard a cat meow.
I don't know what Wen Yan said, which made Ebony so angry.
Huo Yixiao didn't understand, but I have to say, this wow wow scream, it's quite beautiful.
