Chapter 364: On the court
Then the topic turned back to how to deal with the snow disaster in the border town, and the ministers were listless, and their hearts had already flown away.
Xin Yu stood up again: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter can be heard by more people tomorrow morning." β
The ministers squinted at her.
Just now, the emperor threatened them that it was pointless to listen to more people's opinions.
Emperor Xingyuan nodded: "It is indeed possible to brainstorm." β
Ministers: "......"
"Tomorrow morning, Xin Zhizhao and King Xiu will also come to listen." Xingyuan Emperor Road.
"Yes." Xin Yu and Xiu Wang responded in unison.
After the discussion, Xin Yu walked out, and several ministers looked at her with a bad face.
"Yuzu." There was a soft call from behind him.
Xin Yu turned his head sideways and looked at the Xiu Wang who came over.
"Do you have time for tea?" King Xiu asked, showing a gentle smile, "I want to know more about the new policy you proposed." β
"Regarding the New Deal, everything that needs to be said has just been said. There is nothing complicated about the new deal, the key is to implement it. Xin Yu declined King Xiu's invitation.
Although Xiuwang's reaction was that of a supporter of the New Deal, she could not let go of her guard against the person who forced her to restore her daughter.
was rejected, and King Xiu was not embarrassed: "Ayu, are you going back to Hanlin Courtyard orβ"
"Go back to Hanlin Academy."
"Then I'll send you."
Xin Yu stretched out his hand and pointed: "It's in front." β
"See you tomorrow."
Xin Yu walked quickly into the Hanlin Courtyard and breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what happens tomorrow, that person has decided to implement a new policy in front of his ministers, and he will not easily overthrow it.
"Waiting for the edict."
Hearing the shout, Xin Yu turned around.
It was Xie Cheng'an, the head of the Hanlin Academy, who was also present when the meeting was held just now.
Xin Yu walked over: "Master of the Courtyard." β
"If you are not busy, come and have a cup of tea. I would like to ask a word or two about the New Deal. β
The same is to invite tea, Xin Yu nodded without hesitation to Xie Zhangyuan's invitation.
"Today, the new policy proposed by Xin Beizhao in the palace has made the old decay deafening." Xie Zhangyuan expressed his attitude in one sentence.
Xin Yu was a little surprised.
She knew that even on the side that was naturally opposed to the New Deal, there would be supporters of the New Deal. There are always selfless people in this world who serve the country and the people.
Although there are few such people, there will definitely be them.
But it was still a bit unexpected to really get the support of Xie Zhangyuan so quickly.
Xie Zhangyuan saw Xin Yu's surprise and smiled frankly: "The Xie family was considered a wealthy family in the previous dynasty, and after several ups and downs, it can have today's full thanks to the emperor's grace." The people's livelihood is suffering, the war is cruel, and the old people have seen it, and at this age, they want to see the long-term prosperity of the country and the people. β
"Xie Zhangyuan's high righteousness, which makes the lower officials admire."
Xie Zhangyuan shook his head slightly: "This should be said to Xin Zhizhao." β
The girl in front of her could have been well-dressed and carefree, but she chose the most difficult path.
"Have you ever thought about the difficulties of implementing the new policy?"
"Who is responsible for the implementation?"
"How to deal with the public opinion turmoil in the future?"
β¦β¦
Xie Zhangyuan asked many questions seriously, and Xin Yu could explain in detail, and it was inconvenient to disclose them simply.
In the end, Xie Zhangyuan gave his hand: "Thank you Xin to solve your doubts." β
Xin Yu returned the salute: "Xie Zhangyuan is willing to listen to the details of the lower officials, which is the luck of the lower officials." β
When he went to the lower office, Xie Zhangyuan went to meet Meng Xijiu and discussed the new policy.
There are countless officials and nobles who pay attention to the new policy like Xie Zhangyuan, and the study rooms of various mansions and some private teahouses and restaurants are lively this night.
In a quiet teahouse, a few people sitting around looked ugly and the atmosphere was gloomy.
"The New Deal must not be implemented, this is the foundation of digging for us!"
"Today has spoken, and no matter how much you oppose it, it will not help."
"Tomorrow morning, if there are many opponents, maybe they will change their minds today."
"Against?" One person sneered, "Who dares to stand up and oppose it casually?" Didn't you see that the edict prison was about to be filled, and there were waves of beheadings in the West Market? β
Xishi brushed and chopped his head, and the machete was about to be curled, who disobeyed the emperor's mind under this threat, don't weigh it carefully?
"That girl was too well timed!"
Recently, there have been fewer cats and dogs on the streets, let alone officials. You must know that those who were beheaded were their colleagues, relatives and friends, and this kind of deterrence can be imagined.
After being silent for a while, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu spoke: "The decision made by the six ministries and nine Qings is summoned today, and it may be useless if someone opposes it tomorrow." β
"Is that what you recognize?"
"Who said it was just that?" The Ministry of Rites brushed his beard.
He was born in a large southern family, and his family has thousands of acres of fertile land, and once this new policy is implemented, it is tantamount to scraping off a layer of skin.
"What does Shangshu-sama mean?"
"In all dynasties, there were many people who implemented the New Deal and abandoned it halfway. This new policy is under the guise of serving the people, and it is not certain that the people will accept it. β
When the people present heard this, their eyes couldn't help but light up.
That's a good point.
Those illiterate people don't understand anything, and whether the new deal is good or not is not something that people who read and write.
The officials and gentry and wealthy households already regarded the new policy as a bad government, and when the people also opposed it, who could do this thing that only had no infamy and no benefit?
It is much safer to use facts to give up the New Deal halfway than to go against the tune at this time.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Xingyuan sat down on the dragon chair and looked condescendingly at the ministers.
According to the convention, if the Beijing official is above the fifth grade, he needs to get up earlier than the chicken and honestly participate in the early dynasty. In addition, there are also lowly officials with lowly official positions such as the middle and low-level imperial history of various sections, as well as the emperor's relatives and nobles.
Usually in the early dynasty, there are always some absent leave, but today Emperor Xingyuan swept his eyes and saw that the number of people seemed to be exceeded.
Oh, there are quite a few people who care about the New Deal.
After some conventional topics, Emperor Xingyuan mentioned the snow disaster in the border town: "Do you have a good plan? β
There is a lot of money in the treasury, and if it is used here, it will be used less.
The ministers were either silent, or said some nonsense, or mentioned one or two that could be used. Duan Shaoqing stood at the back of the team, thinking of the "chance encounter" with Xin Yu on the road to the Ya Road yesterday, and stood up.
"Duan Wensong, the young secretary of the Chentaifu Temple, has something to play."
Emperor Xingyuan's expression was faint, and he motioned for him to continue.
"The border town is related to border security, and it cannot be ignored, and the minister is willing to donate the family wealth left by his niece Kou Qingqing to accumulate good fortune for her."
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the ministers looking at Duan Shaoqing were wrong.
What does this surname mean? Donate money again?
Paying out of his own pocket at every turn, which serious official is so worried about the court?
Feeling the dissatisfied eyes of his colleagues, Duan Shaoqing secretly complained.
He doesn't want to!
This stand up not only lost money, but also offended colleagues. But this huge amount of money can't be saved, and offending colleagues is better than offending the emperor......
"Oh, how much does Duan Shaoqing want to donate?" Emperor Xingyuan tried his best to hide but showed a look of surprise.
Duan Shaoqing bowed his head slightly: "The niece of the minister donated 400,000 taels of family wealth. β
