Chapter 451: Hand-picked
After the empress made up her mind, she went back to the dormitory to rest surrounded by palace people.
Shen Zhongyi grew up in the palace since he was a child, and the empress is not a male emperor, even if there will be a face, there will be no harem of three thousand, so the empress's harem is very empty, Shen Zhongyi is the grandson of the emperor, and there is naturally an independent dormitory in Daming Palace where Shen Zhongyi has lived from childhood to adulthood, and he stays in the palace to stay in the palace.
These Beijing officials who were temporarily summoned are not so comfortable, like Menxia Province and Zhongshu Province, which have official offices in the palace, fortunately, the officials who belong to them can still go to the duty room to take a nap, and the officials who run the Gonggong in the imperial city can only squeeze each other, which is almost the same.
The only thing that is better is that the next morning you don't have to get up at four or five o'clock in the morning, swallow some kind of meat-filled steamed cake, and hurry to the morning court.
But there is no morning food in the palace, and I stayed up in the palace for a night, except for the empress, who was extraordinarily gracious, and only waited for the corridor to eat after the morning to fill my stomach.
The imperial court and the magistrates have been embezzled, and a huge amount of money has been embezzled, and now they have suffered the biggest drought in ten years, the empress is very angry, not to mention, she is full of worries about the drought, and her imperial food has been saved a lot, how can she be in the mood to give this group of ministers extra food.
As a result, a group of ministers of the imperial court who had been temporarily summoned went to the court hungry and went to the court, and then listened to the empress on the spot to formally make two orders for yesterday's emergency meeting.
People's livelihood is the key, and the first holy decree is to transport grain from Jianghuai Cao, first stabilize the soaring grain prices in Guanzhong, and appease the people. At the same time, grain will continue to be adjusted for the winter reserves of Chang'an and the seven prefectures of Guanzhong.
The deficit between the revenue and expenditure of the official warehouse is huge, there is a huge difference, and it must be thoroughly investigated, in a word, the empress is going to move seriously, the crime of corruption of the official warehouse is unforgivable, and the second holy decree is to set up the official warehouse inspection team, and the holy decree also specifically pointed out that this is a major case of the state, and its own three divisions are responsible for the trial, and the other order of Shen Zhongyi, the king of Wei, is the general person in charge of the inspection team, and the Taicang Department, Sinong Temple, the Ministry of Household and its related institutions assist in the investigation, and Liu Chenxing, the female history of the History Museum, is also transferred to the inspection team.
As soon as the two holy decrees came out, the court was in an uproar.
The grain supply in the Guanzhong area has always been mainly imported from the Jianghuai region, and now the drought in Guanzhong is the heaviest in a decade, and it is expected that grain will be transferred from the Jianghuai region again.
The empress is old, and her iron and bloody skills are no longer what they used to be over the years, she is much gentler, and she is a benevolent government that has never been in power for many years, and she is generally quite tolerant of the old ministers who make mistakes, such as Fan Yi, the head of the household.
If the empress was at the beginning of her reign, she found that the son of Fan Yi, the head of the household department, was cheating in the field, it was not as simple as just condemning her son to exile, and she would inevitably sit together.
Therefore, at the moment when the empress is becoming more and more soft-hearted, she actually set up three divisions to investigate the matter without substantially exposing the case of corruption in the official warehouse, not only thoroughly investigating Chang'an, but also thoroughly investigating the entire Guanzhong, which will inevitably involve a lot of depth, and there is no doubt that the court earthquake will surprise them.
Looking at the empress in a bright yellow dragon robe on the dragon chair, with great majesty, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts:
Old?
Is the Empress really old?
Thunder means, majestic, often make people forget that it is already a rare year, thinking that it is the peak of spring and autumn.
So, isn't the Empress as old as they think?
Doubts arise, and I don't dare to peep at Long Yan anymore, I only know that this time I am afraid that many officials will fall from power, so I don't know if it is my own opportunity, or if I will be involved.
The Beijing officials above the fifth rank of the early dynasty had their own thoughts, and they couldn't think of a reason, so their thoughts turned around, and they thought of other contents of the holy decree.
In the second holy decree of the thorough investigation of the official warehouse, the most eye-catching thing is that the empress has changed her soft policy in recent years and wants to be ruthless, that is, she actually appointed Liu Chenxing into the inspection team.
Liu Chenxing is not an unknown junior, since he won the first place in the provincial examination of high school, it can be said that his name is like thunder.
Those who can go to the early dynasty are Chang'an's incumbent five-grade civil officials, who are high-ranking officials, they have less of the people's minds to see the excitement, and a little more pondering on their careers, thinking of the empress's special appreciation of Liu Chenxing, especially the most prominent son on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival is Xie Ji, the girl is none other than Liu Chenxing, the empress praised Liu Chenxing at that time as a good seedling to be reused, and now it has only been three months, and Liu Chenxing has been put into the inspection team, it seems that it is really going to be reused.
There is a "female prime minister" known as Ouyang Zijin, the empress cultivated Liu Chenxing like this, I am afraid that Ouyang Zijin is cultivating second.
There has long been the idea that the empress may want to cultivate a second "Ouyang Zijin" in this way, but now that she thinks about it, she can't help but be more certain, and her opinion of Liu Chenxing has also changed, and her political weight has increased sharply.
And Liu Chenxing, who is quite promising in the eyes of everyone, because today is not the first day of the new year or the fifteenth, at this time he is not even qualified to go to the early dynasty, and when the early dynasty is over, Wei Jian, a member of the upper peak, finished eating a meal that is not very rich, and then returned to the history museum to tell her the heavy news, and vigorously praised the data table she drawn, and asked her to teach the officials of their history museum how to use the table after the inspection of the Guancang case.
As for why the official warehouse inspection is over?
Because she had no specific responsibilities in the History Museum, and the Guancang case was very important, Wei Jian, a member of the inner house, was very impartial and selfless to let her go to the palace province as an errand during this time to assist Shen Zhongyi, the king of Wei, in investigating the case.
She also stood in her small office as a matter of course, and said with satisfaction with her arrangement: "You and King Wei also know each other, King Wei is deeply favored by the emperor, you go to King Wei to assist, and you have a great chance of being praised by the saint, you have to take advantage of it!" ”
In the past three months, Liu Chenxing has always been quite respectful to himself, after this incident, he can be regarded as convinced of her ability, he really can't be treated as an ordinary little lady, he is lucky to be the peak after she joins the ranks, and it can be regarded as half a leader, this fate can still be maintained.
With such a plan, seeing that Liu Chenxing was not too excited after hearing his good news, Wei Jian sighed and said: "There used to be some false rumors about you and Prince Wei, but Liu Nushi has only known people, and he has expressed his position in public during the Dragon Boat Festival, as far as I know, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military already know that Liu Nushi and King Wei are innocent, and Liu Nushi should not worry too much about reputation." ”
Uncle Liu once taught her that reputation is important in this era.
But all the way to today, she believes that reputation is important, but strength is the foundation.
Yes, she didn't care about the reputation outside.
It's just that the thought of working under someone like Shen Zhongyi and others with the heart of a beast is really aggrieved!
For this reason, we must quickly dilute the joy of finally being able to do practical things.
However, since Wei Jian said so, she couldn't help but express her position, Liu Chenxing said in a good way at the moment: "With Wei Sheren's words, the lower officials will be at ease, after all, people's words are terrible, and the lower officials really don't want to ...... anymore."
"Alas!"
Before the words were finished, it was a sigh, and it was difficult to say anything on his face.
didn't waste any opportunity, indicating that she didn't want to have anything to do with Shen Zhongyi.
