Chapter 233: Who Moved the King's Excerpt?
It's not a matter that these boxes of gold have been kept in the prince's mansion, and if you don't do it, you will get into trouble because of it. You must know that there are many eyes in the court staring at Chu Lingyi's every move, thinking that they can find out some problems so that they can deal with Chu Lingyi.
Chu Lingyi had already given the emperor a fold on the matter of gold, but the emperor had not been able to reply to Chu Lingyi. I don't know if there are too many excerpts and I haven't seen it, or if the emperor deliberately didn't reply to Chu Lingyi, wanting to take the opportunity to see Chu Lingyi's loyalty.
"It's not a trivial matter to send a few more people, if someone sneaks up on the street, then these boxes of gold will really fall into the hands of others." The four big boxes of gold were finally retrieved by Chu Lingyi and Liuyun from Xihe Village, and they must not let anyone with a heart fight its idea.
Entering the palace gate, the other ministers were very curious when they saw Chu Lingyi pulling a carriage. "Did you see it, I just pulled the carriage into the palace gate, and I really thought that I could be lawless if I got the emperor's favor."
"No, who knows what's in the carriage, let's go, don't be too late."
"Lord, have you seen it, those individuals have begun to live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain again." Liuyun really wanted to go up and give them a punch and let them know what the end would be if they talked nonsense.
"Hurry up, you put all these into the warehouse, and wait for the king at the door for a while." Chu Lingyi didn't bother to pay attention to those gossip, he just had to do things well by himself.
"Tomorrow is the triennial imperial examination, are you all ready?" The emperor attaches great importance to this imperial examination, because this is a moment to inject fresh blood into the court, and he can cultivate his own talents, rather than those high-ranking officials who have been officials for many years control part of the court situation.
"Your Majesty, there is no problem with Weichen here, everything can be carried out as scheduled." Looking at Zhong Guang's expression, you can know that this time he is very well prepared.
"Okay, that's good, there's Lao Zhongaiqing."
"This is the duty of the ministers, and it is the duty of the ministers to share it for the emperor." Zhong Guang looked in the direction of Jin Wuhe, full of smiles. Zhong Guang thinks that this time with Jin Wuhe assisting him in the discipline of the examination room, he will definitely not have a scandal like the last time.
The emperor had never let Chu Lingyi interfere in the imperial examination, so Chu Lingyi never wanted to touch it. It's just that this time with Xu Tianhong here, Chu Lingyi had to have more eyes. Jin Wuhe is a military general, he is only good at hands, and he is still more powerful in the things that use his brain. But he was very close to Wenchen Zhong Guang.
For this reason, Chu Lingyi sent someone to check the details of Jin Wuhe, and then learned that he had a cousin who was also going to participate in the imperial examination, and it was this year's imperial examination. Chu Lingyi didn't know if it was a coincidence, why didn't let him be a military general to participate in the affairs of Wenchen. But Chu Lingyi believes that if he thinks of Zhong Guang's loyalty, he shouldn't do anything to be sorry for the emperor, but if he can't keep it, he will be confused.
But as far as Chu Lingyi learned so far, Zhong Guang only arranged for Jin Wuhe to take the mountain to the thatched house, and he could not participate in the rest of the things. As for Xu Tianhong, he doesn't have to worry too much, after all, the emperor promised to leave him a separate room, so that there would be no cheating at all.
Today, there was a discussion in the court about the memory of the imperial examination to be conducted, and Chu Lingyi did not participate in it. As soon as he got out of the court, Chu Lingyi was in a hurry to go to the apse to find the emperor to talk about gold.
"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to tell you alone, and I hope it will be convenient." Although Chu Lingyi and the emperor are brothers, in Chu Lingyi's eyes, there are only monarchs and ministers. He always remembered that he would always be the emperor's assistant, and he would never be able to overstep the emperor's behavior.
"Come in, why be so polite between us."
In the eyes of the emperor, it is difficult to get both family affection and love, but he cherishes the brotherhood with Chu Lingyi quite a lot, and he takes care of Chu Lingyi and Mu Li as much as possible.
"Your Majesty, have you seen the fold handed to you by Weichen, which is about the four major boxes of gold captured." Chu Lingyi wanted to see how the emperor would answer.
"Gold, what gold?" Chu Ziheng really didn't know what Chu Lingyi meant, he had never seen the excerpts about gold, and he had already dealt with the excerpts in the past few days. Under normal circumstances, he would always look at Chu Lingyi's excerpts first.
Chu Lingyi wondered, he obviously put the fold in the emperor's study, could it be that he had hands and feet. But not everyone can enter a place like the emperor's study, except for the queen, the rest of the people can only enter after the registration of the guards.
"Could it be that the queen moved the king's fold, what does she want to do?" Chu Lingyi muttered quietly, afraid that the emperor would hear it.
The emperor thought about it hard, and he really hadn't seen the excerpts about gold that Chu Lingyi said. He also wondered that Chu Lingyi would definitely not joke about this kind of thing. "What's going on, you tell me to hear it."
"It's such an emperor, this gold turned out to be embezzled by Li Wu, and it was all the hard work of the people of Gu Village. Later, his butler took away four large chests, and now the butler has been punished, and the gold has been found. Wechen has asked Liuyun to put all of it into the treasury, but Wechen wonders if the gold can be used to subsidize poor villagers. ”
Some villages are really poor, not because the villagers do not work hard enough, but because of the terrain problems, the food production is low, and they can only barely make ends meet. If they move to another village, they will have to rely on the sky to grow some food. Chu Lingyi thought that it would be good if some of their young people came out to do business, or did some business in other villages.
The emperor agrees with Chu Lingyi's idea, but this matter is not realistic for now, for fear that someone will start pretending to be poor after getting benefits from it, waiting for the opportunity to covet the money of the treasury.
"It's a good idea, but it's hard to implement. With so many impoverished villages, you can't get every village to receive subsidies, so these four big boxes of gold alone are simply not enough. The rest of the treasury is to be prepared for special cases and cannot be given to them. ”
People's hearts are sinister, who knows how many people will be sincerely poor, and besides, the matter of Gu Village has made the emperor feel that the current officials are a little too interested, if such a thing happens again, how can the court withstand it.
Indeed, Chu Lingyi thought about it carefully, and his idea was not very mature. But he would not give up on the implementation of this plan because of the emperor's refusal. He will strive to ensure that the poor have access to food and that their children can receive knowledge. Just like the three children adopted by Mu Li, what needs to be changed is their fundamentals, not simple food and clothing.
"Let's talk about this later, the most important thing at the moment is the imperial examination. This imperial examination is of great significance to me. "The emperor wants to take this opportunity to let some officials who do not act step down, so that the talents who have won the imperial examination can replace them.
