Chapter 84 Papaya became the prime minister at the beginning of his tenure
Li Zhong hadn't fallen asleep yet, and after listening to us talk about it, he thought about it.
After a while, he said: "How did Emperor Sheng Yuan get to the throne, he knows it himself, so he is extra protective of his son, as long as the prince is old and threatened, he will be sent to the border pass for training, he and the queen have two sons, the eldest prince, the second prince died before the age of ten, the third prince is a concubine, and the fourth prince is a concubine."
I couldn't help but ask, "Why do these concubines have so few relatives?"
"The Sheng Dynasty was not founded for a long time, and it all relied on the iron and blood of the first emperor to have such a large territory, since Emperor Sheng Yuan was the emperor, he was afraid that others would build the party and seek power, and the powerful princes and foreign families, the former elders, were all degraded by him for reasons."
"The one who left the guard family alone?"
Li Zhong didn't answer, Li promised, "Don't you see it all!"
I was speechless: "And such a stupid emperor?"
Li Zhong said: "He thinks that he has the supreme power in his hands, the military talisman in his hand, and the others do not have a deep-rooted family, which is good, and now, if the son is healthy, there will be many things."
Lee promised, "What do you say, Dad?"
"Other princes, some are on the border of Beidi, some are on the border of Nanban, but the son, the body is weak and can walk, eight years old can speak, now sixteen years old, can not go out to see the wind, because the body is too weak, Emperor Sheng Yuan can not favor one over the other, so he put it in the military camp outside the city to practice, said to be experience, that is, to stay in a room every day, but if it is healthy, then whose idea is it? The Queen Mother, the Empress, and the Elder Wei can't outrun a Wei family."
There is a situation in this Wei family.
After everyone dispersed, Li Zhong wrote a note, took out a cage from the corner, and took out an animal like a mouse, like a weasel, from the cage.
He carefully sealed the note in a thin tube with wax and fixed it to it.
Li Zhong didn't leave the house, opened a gap in the corner under the door, and whispered, "Go."
The little one disappeared from the gap in the blink of an eye.
I also started to have my own calculations.
A few days later, the day of the birth and the entrance to the temple was ushered in.
Lu Zeming, Ma Fengchun, Jiao Yuen, Shang Zhiqian, Luo Mi, they were led by the palace people to the main hall.
"Knock on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"
"Well, get up."
Emperor Sheng Yuan looked at everyone: "It's really magnificent, showing the style of the Great Sheng Country!"
"Thank you for your praise!"
The crowd responded mechanically
"In this way, it is estimated that Wen Cai needless to say, I ask you, what each of you thinks of the six parts of the imperial court, and what to do to be the most powerful to the imperial court."
After that, Shunquan took the pen and paper, and the palace people moved the low table.
Several others worked hard to write and express their opinions.
Lu Zeming wrote only seven words.
After putting the pen down, Shunquan put the paper away.
After Emperor Sheng Yuan saw it, he stared at Lu Zeming for a few seconds and began to appoint.
"Luo Mi, the right waiter of the Sanpin Criminal Department, Shang Zhiqian, the Sanpin Shilang of the Ministry of Works, Jiao Yuen, the Sanpin Inspector Yushi, Ma Fengchun, and the Sanpin Shilang of the Household Department, manage warehousing matters."
Everyone gasped, the official position given by this year's scientific examination is really high!
There is still one left that has not been canonized, and they are all waiting to hear how the top of the list is.
"Lu Zeming, the top of the list, has won my heart, and he is the right minister, and he will discuss with Wei Lao to help make decisions on all national affairs."
Wei Lao was shocked and said, "Is the emperor appointing the top of the new department too high? I'm afraid that if you don't come up step by step, it's easy to ignore this official position."
Wang Yonghe listed: "The minister agrees with Elder Wei's statement."
"Minister's reconsideration."
Another bunch of people came out.
Yu Chao, Zheng Zhihe, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others all stood up.
Since coming back, Wu Yuzong, who has always been small and transparent, also stood up.
It took me more than ten years to mix a third product, a kid I had satirized at the beginning, and I jumped into a product, isn't it sour? Acid died.
Only Li Zhong did not stand up.
Emperor Sheng Yuan looked around and was very satisfied.
"You don't joke, I just canonized, you are so persecuted, I am very puzzled, the burden on Wei Lao's shoulders is too heavy, and you and others have important things to do, and they can't be moved, the young people in the hall can share your worries, Wei Lao, do you understand?"
When Wei Lao saw that so many people were opposed, the emperor still didn't change his words, he was afraid that he was persecuting, and he was going to get angry.
So he hung his head and returned to the column.
Luo Mi clenched his fists, and he was afraid that he would never be able to catch up with Lu Zeming.
In this way, the emperor's golden words caused a sensation inside and out.
I want to know what answer Lu Zeming wrote to make Emperor Sheng Yuan so elevated?
The forces of all parties inquired at a great price and got seven words: everything is at the disposal of the emperor.
Everyone scolded, annoyed, and praised.
Subsequently, Emperor Sheng Yuan called Lu Zeming to come to the Qinzheng Palace.
Lu Zeming was neither humble nor arrogant to Emperor Sheng Yuan.
Emperor Sheng Yuan asked: "Lu Zeming, I have read your test papers, and you have quite a literary style, how did you write this opinion so concisely today, you are not afraid, I will give you a petty official at will?"
Lu Zeming replied: "Back to the emperor, the lower officials dare not hide anything, my fiancée is Meng Rubing, the niece of Lord Li Zhong, a few days ago, we chatted, so the minister was inspired."
Emperor Sheng Yuan naturally investigated Lu Zeming and knew his background, so he couldn't help asking, "Did Li Zhong ask you to answer like this?"
"No, Lord Li just said that being an official is simple, as long as you don't be greedy for the people, and do your best to carry out the emperor's tasks, and also, in order to protect yourself, it's good not to join the party, so the lower officials feel it."
Emperor Sheng Yuan nodded, this Li Zhong, listening to what he said.
And that's what he did, what he wanted was this kind of official, even if Lu Zeming in front of him became a relative of the Li family, according to Li Zhong's virtues, there would be nothing wrong with it.
So, Emperor Sheng Yuan and Lu Zeming explained: "I have put you up in the face of the dissatisfaction of the ministers, and you have to learn from Wei Lao and share my worries."
Lu Zeming bent down and arched his hand, "I will live up to my holy hope."
Then the decrees were issued one by one,
The last two were also accepted by the Ministry of Officials.
The eldest brother, Zhao Yuxuan, became the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Zhu Li went to Guozijian.
It's just that most of the newly appointed officials do not have mansions and housing, which has become a very embarrassing thing for the DPRK and China.
Some newly-promoted officials originally planned to have the backbone not to accept the offer of sons-in-law, but having no land to live in has become a laughing stock in the mouths of others, so some people have taken the olive branch of a few people in the DPRK and China.
Like Romy, some of them got into the line, and some of them started to stand in line.
Lu Zeming thought of Bingbing's factory dormitory, so he played directly on the second day.
I implore the emperor to grant land, and the Ministry of Industry will send people to build a single house.
Emperor Sheng Yuan hesitated.
Wu Yuzong, the head of the household department, came out: "The lower official sorted out the affairs of the household department with Lord Li, so he learned that I am afraid that the household department does not have extra silver to do superfluous things."
"This is indeed a problem, I haven't contributed to the imperial court, but I have asked the imperial court to pay for it, I'm afraid that the new officials will be ashamed of it."
Wei Lao followed the trend and said that he was dissatisfied with Lu Zeming's direct questioning without consulting him.
The new officials, who had just been rejoicing, began to fall silent again.
Lu Zeming said: "Officials are the foundation of governing the country, and only without worries can they do things for the court wholeheartedly."
Li Zhong came out and said, "This silver tael should be easy to solve."
Wang Yonghe said, "Oh, what do you mean, Lord Li? It is said that your second son and niece are rich people!"
"Yes, Lord Wang didn't say it, I didn't think of it, Your Majesty, Shangjia is the last class, even if my dogs and nieces have elders who are officials, they are also ridiculed and belittled, not to mention others, even if Lord Wang loves his daughter, they have been ridiculed, but Shangjia is rich! Merchants who usually do business with the imperial court can now share their worries with the imperial court, and they can donate silver taels."
Li Zhong's small abacus has already begun to be calculated.
"Lord Li has to pull the little girl to step on it when he is whimsical, it's really hateful, you say donate it, what if the merchant doesn't donate? Do you still want the emperor to force donations? Doesn't that ruin the royal face?"
Wei Lao also said, "If you are forced to donate, who else will dare to supply things to the royal family in the future?"
Emperor Sheng Yuan was very unhappy when he saw the people below attacking each other, the fundraising was very good, how could it be justified?
So Emperor Sheng Yuan spoke: "Don't quarrel, solve the residence of officials, Lu Aiqing mentioned it well, wait until you go home today and think about it, how can you make the fundraising just?"
In this way, the emperor's words ended the topic that was arguing at the beginning.
After Wei Lao returned home, he was very angry, this Lu Zeming, I'm afraid he can't be his son-in-law, the emperor obviously wants to divide his rights, but if he can really win him over, it will be very beneficial to himself.
When I went back in the evening, Lu Zeming told me what he thought.
I felt like this is okay.
"Papaya, I feel that this idea is very good, you do it boldly, if you do it, you can gain a lot of goodwill, and the officials have no worries, so there will be less gangs and factions, and there will be less encroachment on the people."
Although I hope that Emperor Sheng Yuan will step down, the people are innocent.
"I also know that this is a good thing, but the old ministers in the court use the money of the treasury for a fixed purpose, and there is no extra silver taels, and they cannot force donations as a hindrance."
I thought for a moment and said, "Is this it? Why are merchants reluctant to donate because it is not profitable, but what is the most lacking of merchants now?"
Lu Zeming's eyes lit up: "Nature is status."
"That's right, how rich businessmen are, in the eyes of the aristocracy, they are all pariahs, so that Lu Hongwei can climb the Wei family, take the initiative to give people money, and have to kneel as a licking dog, so we can give the title of the merchant who donates the title of imperial merchant!"
"What Bingbing said makes sense, but there has to be a critical line, and it is impossible for everyone who donates to be an imperial businessman."
"That's natural, you have to see, whether there is capital to supply the royal needs, just like us, we can provide uniform clothing for the eunuchs and maids in the palace, we can provide makeup, focus, we can suppress Lu Lu Hongwei, provide food, if not, give a good business title, indicating that we have contributed to the country and the people, and we can let the emperor commend it."
After hearing this, Lu Zeming agreed.
I turned to me and asked, "If so, how many do you need to build?"
Lu Zeming replied, "Why don't you have at least thirty?"
"Thirty? So what are you thinking about in the court? Thirty rooms, one is more than thirty silver, plus some supplies, one thousand taels is enough, this money, I donate, no one else, I want the name of the imperial merchant."
"Well, no one really asks how much it costs."
Lu Zeming was a little embarrassed, although for them now, a thousand taels of silver is not much, but there seems to be no one who asked his daughter-in-law to pay for it on the first day of work.
I thought for a moment and said, "I'm going to find my uncle."
At Li Fushang, I discussed it with my uncle.
Li Zhong couldn't help but say happily: "Yes, it's not a lot of money, but the process of building is more difficult, and it can also let some people know what to remember, and also, the proposal of the imperial merchant is good, and it will be finalized tomorrow, so that no one can react."
So, after the discussion, we waited for tomorrow's decision.
The news also reached Lu Hongwei and some merchants who had ties to the court, and these people said they were a little trembling.
There is a misunderstanding, a single house, that is not a mansion for one person, or how much does a smaller mansion cost?
So, they all began to look in silence.
