Look up.

In front of the golden dragon chair in the past, a layer of gauze curtain was hung.

What's the situation?

Why did Your Majesty suddenly hang a curtain on the court?

"Lord Wang, what's going on? Your Majesty, this ......"

"I don't know, it wasn't like this before!"

"Maybe Your Majesty has a new idea!"

"Also, Your Majesty is a woman after all, so it's normal to have some thoughts."

"Yes, yes, it's just a trivial matter, it's okay!"

“……”

Baiguan whispered for a while, but didn't pay much attention to it.

Xu Shouyun also noticed this scene.

However, he was the first time to go to the court, and he was a five-rank official, standing in the middle, a little distance.

So, didn't care.

accompanied by the shouting of the little eunuch in the court.

A figure slowly walked out from behind.

Sit on the dragon chair.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The officials shouted in unison and bowed down.

Xu Shouyun also followed.

This was taught to him by the previous eunuchs.

There are many rules in the court, and the first time he went to the court, the little eunuch taught him many things that need to be paid attention to.

"Zhong Aiqing's life!"

On the dragon chair in the court, a crisp voice came from afar.

The voice was a little cold and flat, but full of majesty.

When Xu Shouyun heard this, he was slightly stunned.

This sound sounds familiar!

Seems to have heard it somewhere.

A thought suddenly appeared in Xu Shouyun's mind.

However, this thought was interrupted without deep thought.

Accompanied by the end of the gift.

An official stood up and began to play.

"Minister, the right servant of the household department, Liu Fan, there is something important to play."

Tobe Yanagashi spoke.

"Quasi-play!"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of War recently wrote a letter, saying that the battalions of the Great Wei Dynasty have not changed their outfits for many years, their combat effectiveness has declined, and the vicious enemies on the frontier are eyeing each other, and the soldiers are suffering all the time, and I beg Your Majesty to allocate silver, change clothes, improve the treatment of soldiers, and enhance the combat effectiveness of soldiers."

"Moreover, the birthday of the Queen Mother is approaching, and the envoys of all countries will gather in Kyoto, and changing clothes can also increase the prestige of our Great Wei and show the state of the Heavenly Empire."

"The twelve battalions of the Great Wei Dynasty all need to be dressed, so apply for 80,000 taels of silver."

Liu Fan spoke slowly.

In the court, all ministries and departments need to allocate money to the court, and there are procedures.

The first thing to do is to make an application, that is, to fold it, and submit it to the household department for approval.

After the approval of the household department, it will be submitted to the emperor in advance.

The emperor agreed first, and then the household department proposed it in the court.

Of course, what the emperor agrees to is only for you to apply for silver, a specific amount, which needs to be negotiated in the court.

As soon as Liu Fan's words came out.

Everyone in the court was moved.

Liu Fan is the son of Liu Yanming.

As soon as he opened his mouth, it also represented the opening of the Liu Party.

Good guy, this opening is the big guy.

Directly open your mouth to ask for 80,000 taels.

All the officials were stunned.

I'm not afraid to eat and go out.

After Liu Fan finished speaking, the empress did not speak.

As a superior, you can't jump to conclusions so quickly.

Although it is said that in the court, the empress does not have her own complete power.

But the court is not monolithic, there are three major parties.

There is no need for him to speak, and naturally someone will stand up and refute it.

Really.

In the next moment, someone spoke.

"Your Majesty, the autumn tax silver total is 220,000 taels of silver, and the top and bottom of the Great Wei Dynasty are all in urgent need of money, and the military department will ask for 80,000 taels of silver in one breath, which is not in line with the current national conditions and is not appropriate!"

An official of the Yang Party stood up and opened his mouth to refute.

The opinions that can be put forward by the court are actually seen by most of His Majesty.

The difference is a matter of how much.

Therefore, this official of the Yang Party is also very skillful in refuting it.

The military department wants money, yes, but it needs so much, no.

If you have a military department, you will have to go 80,000 taels, and the rest of the departments will still play ball!

It's like, if you eat a lot of meat, I can only eat the dregs?

Phew, it's so beautiful to think.

"Your Majesty, the battalions of the Great Wei have been short of military spending for several years, and even some of the big battalions are still using the old equipment of more than ten years ago. And the evil enemies on the frontier are peeping and eyeing each other, and the soldiers are all powerless, so I beg Your Majesty for permission. ”

The military department Shangshu stepped forward.

Liu Fan is just the beginning, and the rest is not under his control.

In the court, the most is pulling.

I'll give you a reason, and I'll refute it.

I say an excuse and you will refute it.

As an applicant, the military department naturally has to stand up and speak.

After all, they are the ones who ask for money.

They don't say yet, who will say.

Xu Shouyun has been watching silently.

In his opinion, these tugging and fighting in the court are like those of elementary school students.

One reason after another.

Again, this reason seems naïve.

On the surface, it is high-sounding, but in fact everyone knows that it is fake.

A group of low-level people, pretending to be high-level here.

Xu Shouyun, who has experience in later generations, feels that this group of officials is like a little fairy quarrelling.

Boring.

Xu Shouyun wanted to sleep a little when he heard it.

The entire court meeting dragged on the application of the military department for nearly an hour.

In other words, two hours.

In the end, 30,000 taels of silver were decided.

The military department Shangshu was a little unwilling.

Originally, I thought that there would be at least 40,000 taels of silver.

As a result, there were 10,000,000 taels less.

This gap is a bit different from what was expected.

The faces of the people of the Liu Party looked a little ugly.

And the people of the Yang Party and the Li Party are naturally satisfied and content.

If the other party takes less, it means that he will take more next.

After all, the amount of money in the tax is fixed.

……

The whole court lasted until noon.

In the end, only the application of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs was resolved.

The military department took 30,000 taels of silver.

The Ministry of Punishment took 60 million 200 silver.

The Criminal Department was very satisfied.

After all, there are so many places to spend money.

There are only so many excuses and reasons that can be found.

Sixty million taels of silver is already very satisfied.

This is enough to deal with the family and power behind him.

With the end of the pilgrimage.

The officials were disturbed and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Xu Shouyun didn't say a word in the entire court.

In fact, there was no chance for him to speak.

The purpose of coming to the court meeting today is to study.

That's the key.

First familiarize yourself with the process and understand how each department works.

Only after understanding, can you deal with it later.

Originally, Xu Shouyun thought that these ministers had been in the officialdom for decades, and they were all very powerful.

But today, when I saw the reasons and excuses they were looking for, I suddenly found that these ministers were just ordinary people.

Compared with those bar essences in later generations, it is not at the same level at all.

Out of the palace, the hundred officials began to divide into several waves and gathered to leave.

And Xu Shouyun also saw a person at this time.

When he saw this person, he was stunned on the spot.
