Peng Wenbai and Peng Shangshu have only one thought in their hearts now, don't vomit or be unhappy, it's a dog!

As soon as he returned to the Ministry of Rites from Qin Xiangye's secretary's cabinet, he once again found that some of his colleagues and subordinates were peeking at him obscenely.

Before entering his office, his assistant looked at him with a look of intent.

"Dog thing, even you play this set for me, see how I clean you up. ”

He entered the room with a depression in his heart, only to find that there was a eunuch sitting upright.

An old eunuch, a sudden ascension, from an old handyman in the unheard of down-and-out marquis mansion suddenly became a powerful old eunuch in charge of all affairs in the imperial city.

A loyal lackey of His Majesty the Emperor.

Father-in-law Wei, Wei Sanbao!

"How could this old dog appear here?" Peng Shangshu only felt that his scalp was numb and his brain hurt.

He asked quietly: "Father-in-law Wei, why did you come to my Ministry of Rites when you were old?"

Wei Sanbao said with a serious face: "Your Majesty is going to ask about politics in the Liangyi Hall today, and Peng Shangshu is specially invited to participate, Your Majesty is waiting for you, let's leave now." ”

"Your Majesty...... What do you want to discuss?" Peng Shangshu really felt that his scalp was numb.

The two ceremonial halls ask about politics, also known as the inner dynasty.

Just as the prime minister is free to form his own secretarial cabinet, the emperor has the final say in the affairs of the Liangyi Palace. Whether to convene or not, what to convene, what to do, and who to convene, are all decided by the emperor alone.

Its basic function, and its main function, is to convene some courtiers specially appointed by the emperor to understand the current situation and some major events of the empire and the kingdom under heaven.

There is also an important function, which is also a real function, which has been studied by successive emperors, which is the best posture to seize power with the prime minister.

Emperor Taizong has long had iron training, and the prime minister is responsible for all the practice, and the emperor cannot interfere, but he has the right to supervise and intervene.

If the emperor wants to find fault with the prime minister, he will first gather his henchmen and lackeys in the Liangyi Hall to sort out everything the prime minister has done one by one.

The prime minister is not a saint, and it is impossible to be perfect in the implementation of any decision.

In this way, the emperor can attack the prime minister, and what he says is substantial, reasonable, and reasonable.

If the prime minister doesn't want to be slapped in the face all day long, he is annoyed and delirious, embarrassed and annoyed, and the emperor is naturally the next step, and compromise is the king.

So the emperor can also take care of the practice, he will not be completely ignored by the prime minister, the prime minister is also relaxed, the emperor can no longer find fault and slap himself in the face.

This is the traditional routine of "harmony between monarchs and ministers", and the run-in between monarchs and ministers lies in the question of how long the emperor's hand can stretch to practice.

Peng Shangshu only felt his legs tremble, and wanted to say, can I not go?

But the emperor Liangyi Hall asked about politics, this is the right given by Taizong Holy Ancestor, and he must cooperate with any courtier summoned, otherwise you just want to block Shengcong.

Wei Sanbao's eyes were shining, he looked at Peng Wenbai, and said coldly: "Peng Shangshu, Your Majesty is asking about politics in the Liangyi Palace, as a courtier, you only need to cooperate, do you still have to report to you? If you don't go, then I will go to Qin Xiang's place and let him give you an approval to order you to go." ”

With His Majesty's special favor, he has an inexhaustible Yin Qi every day, and his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in the strength of the Sunflower Heavenly Skill that has been improved by Yu Wanting, and he is no longer the old arm and leg of yesterday's self.

He is now also a super-first-class powerhouse who can be defeated by thousands of people, although this is only the realm of internal qi, not the power of actual combat, but coupled with the particularity of yin qi, at this moment, he is fiercely looking at Peng Wenbai, and his essence is revealed, and there is a kind of terrifying yin and evil!

"Old dog, old dog, old dog......"

Peng Shangshu greeted frantically in his heart, can this kind of thing be good to Qin Xiang?

Qin Xiang would definitely agree, and he had no reason to stop it. Maybe out of curiosity, he will take the initiative to send me as cannon fodder for throwing stones and asking for directions.

"Let's go. Peng Wenbai hung his head and said to Wei Sanbao weakly.

He didn't want to admit that he was so weak and cowardly under the forced gaze of a eunuch that he was cowardly.

However, he made up his mind that no matter what fault His Majesty wanted to find for Qin Xiang, he would resolutely stand on the side of his mentor.

The two of them left the Ministry of Rites so openly, greeted all kinds of eyes along the road, got into the car, and went straight to the imperial city.

Enter the imperial city and go straight to the Liangyi Palace.

The pattern here is not as grand as the Jinluan Palace, there are no high steps, and the thrones, tripods, and dragon pillars are beautiful but impressive.

Here, courtiers do not need to bow when they see the emperor, and they all have their own seats.

The emperor was sitting behind the throne at the moment, intently flipping through a book, and there were already three people sitting at the table, two of whom he knew.

A baby-faced general, sitting there a little uncomfortably at the moment, isn't this the doll of Wei Chi Wugong, although his martial arts attainments are good, he can be arranged by Wei Chiba to be in charge of the Praetorian Guard and guard the imperial city, instead of going to the front line of the army, it can be imagined that he is really a doll who lacks experience and experience.

A middle-aged man with his head bowed and sitting upright.

Isn't this Qian Yiqian, the chief manager of the Inner Government, I heard that because of the return of the emperor's property to the public, he is still quite hated today, and whether the position of the head of the Inner Mansion can sit firmly or not.

The last man who seemed to have hair under his buttocks and white hairs and fine sweat on his eyebrows seemed to be burly and tall, but in fact he was a little bloated and rich, and with his discerning eyes, he could see at a glance that this was a grass man.

With just this sweep, Peng Shangshu felt that His Majesty wanted to block Qin Xiangye with these three melons and two dates.

In a word, Your Majesty, you are still a little too young.

He had already made up his mind not to jump into such a pit.

He was mentally active, and Wei Sanbao said loudly: "Your Majesty, Peng Wenbai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has arrived!"

Xuanyuan Qiming closed the supreme secret of martial arts "Dragon Elephant Strength" and put it aside casually. In the past few days, he has nothing to do, just read this book, with the birth of the divine dragon, even if it is paralyzed, and then reading this book, he gradually sees some true ways, thinking that he can start cultivating after studying it for a few more days.

The dragon qi cultivation method is too high, and it can't show its power for a while, and he can't just be so weak all the time.

"Minister Peng Wenbai see Your Majesty, my emperor Wan'an!" Peng Wenbai bowed.

The emperor asked about politics in the Liangyi Palace, consulted the family and the country, and the people invited were half teachers, and there was no need for too much etiquette and politeness between the monarch and the minister.

The emperor smiled and said, "Peng Shangshu sit down." ”

After Peng Wenbai sat down, he continued: "Peng Shangshu is the busiest, so I'll talk about your affairs first." I remember that the Ministry of Rites would regularly write 'current affairs references' for the local officials of the central prefectures of the empire and the prefectures of the empire to know about current affairs, mainly about the influential or positive or negative typical events in the countries of the world, right?"

Peng Wenbai really didn't expect His Majesty to stab him in such a remote place, saying that he didn't personally ask about this kind of thing, but three or five small scattered officials under the Ministry of Rites were doing it.

However, His Majesty inquired, and he still replied meticulously:

"Yes, Your Majesty, because there are too many things in the world, it takes a lot of energy to collect and screen (there are also few people and the Ministry of Rites does not pay attention to it), so the internal reference is now published once a month.

And because the empire's internal reference vision is spread to the whole world, every time we release a new issue, the kingdom of heaven also comes to ask for it through the embassies of the four dynasties. ”

"Isn't it true that the Ministry of Rites can get fat by just selling newspapers every year?" thought His Majesty the Emperor.

Peng Shangshu seemed to be able to read minds, and complained: "In order to compile this internal reference, our Ministry of Rites has to bleed heavily every year, and if it is only for internal use in the empire, it is also our duty."

But there are so many countries in the world, and every time a new issue is published, it comes to ask for it, and in the long run, it really costs people's lives. ”

Although he didn't know why His Majesty the Emperor was asking about this matter, he made up his mind that no matter what he said, he could not simply lay out the facts and explain the difficulties, and if there were no difficulties, he would create difficulties.

The emperor was surprised and asked, "Didn't they buy it with money?"

Peng Shangshu said: "In the eyes of the nations, a small internal reference is not worth much, and we, as the suzerain, naturally can't lose our status too much and ask them for this report, but as soon as this amount is too much, the deficit will only be borne by our Ministry of Rites." ”

"Tsk. His Majesty the Emperor was amazed.

The leopard in the tube can be seen, and the empire will not talk about the swollen face and fat man.

The kingdom of heaven and earth is not a good thing, what a chicken thief, they naturally can't even do such simple arithmetic, this little money is not even a drizzle for every country, but they are stunned to pretend to be stupid and take it for nothing, and they don't have the bold appearance of a lot of show gift lists in the court.
