At noon the next day, I heard that the harem had another talented person.

Sunan Cheng smiled, too lazy to talk.

Talented, not too high. It's just that the emperor left so many people, and he gave them to Fengcai people at the beginning, and those positions in the harem were not enough.

Starting from talents, how to give them later?

But thinking about Concubine Yu, she has only become Concubine Yu in a few years, and there is nothing to say.

While the emperor was obsessed with women, he also remembered his great ambition of 'saving the country'. Cheng Kanghou was called into the palace. The two things of officials donating money and returning land were officially proposed.

Cheng Kanghou laughed angrily, but after all, he has been an official all his life, and his facial expression can still be controlled.

"Where does Your Majesty plan to start first?" Cheng Kanghou asked politely.

"Please also ask Mr. to point me out, there are so many things to do, and I don't know where to start." The emperor was also polite.

Cheng Kanghou nodded: "Let's talk about donating money first." Your Majesty, are you a designated civil and military official? Or are the officials all over the world together? So does clan relatives count? What about knights? ”

He asked sincerely, and Emperor An thought for a while and said, "How many royal clansmen are there now, so naturally there is no need." Of course, Mr. is my mentor, and Zhiyu is a good courtier who supports each other all the way, so it goes without saying. ”

Cheng Kanghou frowned at this time: "Your Majesty is so inappropriate." Not to mention that the minister's family is loved by His Majesty, and now everyone is envious, so naturally he can't help but be a pawn for His Majesty. Let's just say that the clan relatives, several royal mansions, and princess mansions are all good. If you really don't want to donate money to them, then don't you want them to return this retreat? In this way, can the officials be convinced? ”

"It's only been a few years since I've settled down, and once it's urgent, something will happen. The people of Beiyi are stable now, just waiting for us to make trouble. ”

"Although what the gentleman said is true, it is also one yard to one yard. Now that the treasury is empty, they should share the country's worries. An Di frowned slightly.

"What Your Majesty said is that there are so many officials in this world, and not everyone is rich. When it comes to donating money, if you can't make a good rule, it will inevitably be out of shape if you continue to implement it. What's more, since it is said to be a donation, it should be voluntary. I'm afraid that this matter will continue layer by layer, and it will really suffer those petty officials at the bottom. Cheng Kanghou sighed.

"Please also ask Your Majesty to give me a message, and the minister will also discuss it with several other adults." Cheng Kanghou bent down and said.

"Don't don't, there's no rush on this." Emperor An hurriedly waved his hand: "If you discuss at this time, you will have to talk about it again." I've had enough of these past few months. ”

In the past few months, because of the affairs of his harem, the old ministers have really read enough.

Cheng Kang Hou said in his heart that you are not angry.

Of course, he would not approve of such a ridiculous policy, but how bad would it be to directly tell the emperor that he could not do it?

By the way, let the emperor know that it is not easy, won't he get it?

The emperor is not dead, and when he was in Luancheng, he easily got a sum of money, which was faster than anything else.

Now, if you can knock out all the big and small officials, will you be so poor?

At the beginning, just one Luancheng could have such a huge income, but now this is the whole world. It is enough for each official to come out with a little.

There is no need to be as ruthless as Luancheng was at all.

Cheng Kanghou also saw that any retreat was an excuse. It is nothing more than forcing officials and plutocrats to pay.

The emperor didn't care if he didn't retreat from the ground.

How the people are doing is not within his consideration. He wants taxes.

Cheng Kanghou himself is not a clean official, but looking at such an emperor, he still feels cold from the bone marrow.

After Cheng Kanghou left, the emperor entered the harem with a heavy heart.

As soon as he walked into the harem, he was invited away by the people in his concubine palace.

This virtuous concubine was the side concubine in his original mansion, and she hid in the East Palace that day without incident.

After the death of Empress Han, Concubine Xian was the person with the highest rank and also gave birth to a prince.

Even today's emperor can be trusted and give some face to the concubines.

In the Yuxiu Palace, Concubine Xian Lian walked up and saluted, looking at the emperor as if she was in a bad mood, and served more earnestly.

But after a while, the emperor's inner words came out.

"What's so hard about that? The concubine's father was willing to be the first to donate money. However, the concubine's family does not have much land, and it does not occupy much, but it is impossible to return the land. Concubine Xian said.

Concubine Xian's father, Lord Sun, is now a local taishou, and he is the Taishou of Huaixiang City.

He didn't rely on his daughter, he did well as an official back then, and later after the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted, so he became a taishou.

"Nostalgia is not a good place, but the concubine heard from her father that it is rare that the wind and rain have been smooth in the past few years. If His Majesty wants to, the concubine's father will be the first person. If the beginning is good, are you worried about the follow-up? Concubine Xian smiled.

"Oh? Can the father of the concubine do it? An Di instantly became happy.

Needless to say, how short of money the treasury is now, what a great opportunity.

"The concubine dares to guarantee! My father often said that he had received a great favor from heaven, but he didn't know how to repay it. His Majesty only gave his father a secret decree, and the concubine wrote another letter and kept it. Concubine Sun Xian was full of confidence.

She also knows her father's ability, and it is impossible to do this badly.

I hate that His Majesty set the girl of the Tang family to be the queen, otherwise she would have to go to the back seat.

Now that she is a virtuous concubine, if this thing is done, the emperor will reward herself. Just change yourself to a concubine.

As for their own children, there will always be opportunities in the future.

"Okay, I'll send a message to Sun Qing, but Concubine Ai will write a letter. As long as this is done well, I will not forget your father's deeds. You've done a lot of work. Andy laughed.

This matter can be hidden from other things, and it can't be hidden from the emperor's personal eunuch.

Eunuch Xie spread the news and told Su Nancheng, and Su Nancheng was laughed at angrily.

Go down and see Cheng Kanghou.

Cheng Kanghou wears many hats, but he usually has more when he is in the household department, and there are more things here.

Su Nancheng came to him, and sure enough, he found it.

When the household officials saw Su Nancheng, they all greeted him politely and friendly, and now no one knows that the three generations of the Su family are all trusted courtiers of His Majesty.

But I can't afford to offend, this young seventh son of the Su family is already the commander of the city defense battalion of Zhengsanpin as soon as he is weak, and his future is limitless.

Su Nancheng was also polite, without the slightest intention of putting on a show, and greeted the officials of the household department for a while before being invited to the main hall to speak.

Since someone served tea, and when the idle people went out, there were only two grandchildren left in the house.

Su Nancheng told Cheng Kanghou the news he heard from the palace, and Cheng Kanghou didn't ask Su Nancheng where he knew.

Just laughed: "I haven't told you yet, but you told me first." ”
