Chapter 7 Don't be merciful
"The minister prescribed some internal prescriptions, three times a day, and in addition, there were some gold sore medicines for skin trauma, which could be cured in seven days."
After the diagnosis of the imperial doctor, Xiang Song explained Xu Jin'er's injury.
Hearing this, Song Que breathed a sigh of relief.
And the other side.
Huo Fu.
After receiving the letter from the palace, Huo Lei, who was the first assistant and the chief assistant of the cabinet and the chief fu, showed a solemn look on his face.
"Dad, what's going on?"
Beside Huo Lei, a middle-aged man looked solemn when he saw Huo Lei read the letter, and couldn't help but be a little curious.
"Look at it."
Horay handed the letter to the middle-aged man.
After reading it, the middle-aged man frowned tightly and blurted out:
"What tricks does this emperor want to play?"
Huo Lei put his hands behind his back and said with emotion: "It seems that the little emperor has grown up and has his own thoughts." ”
"Even if you have a mind? Three years ago, he was able to become the emperor, but my Huo family made a lot of efforts, if he dared to be disobedient, we would unite the Li family and the Wang family to depose him and set up a new emperor! The middle-aged man sneered and said angrily.
The middle-aged man's name is Huo Qing, who is not only the head of the dynasty, but also the father of the empress Huo Ling and the ruler of the Daqian Dynasty.
"Today's situation is not three years ago, over the years, our Huo family's status in the DPRK and China has been in full swing, and it has already caused dissatisfaction among the Li family and the Wang family, and if they want to set up a new emperor, they will never agree."
Huo Lei was scheming and immediately rejected his son Huo Qing's proposal and analyzed the situation between the DPRK and China to him.
The current Daqian Dynasty.
The emperor on the surface is Song Que, but Song Que does not have much real power in his hands.
The real power of the Daqian Dynasty was firmly controlled by the Huo family, the Li family, and the Wang family, among which the Huo family was the most powerful.
"In that case, then tomorrow morning, wait for me to beat the little emperor and probe the wind!"
Huo Qing looked at Huo Lei with soliciting eyes.
As the head of the Huo family, Huo Lei thought for a moment, nodded and agreed to his son Huo Qing's suggestion: "However, you can't do this matter, the little emperor is different from the past, our Huo family, can't let him grab the handle!" ”
"Don't worry, Dad, I'll arrange someone else." Huo Qing nodded and replied.
.......
Qianqing Palace.
Applying the ointment, Xu Jin'er, who had finished taking the medicine, fell into a deep sleep.
And Song Que sat in front of the dragon case and continued to review the recitals sent by the cabinet.
"It's too much of a mess."
Song Que rubbed his head, in the twists and turns, it was what happened in various places, there were natural disasters, human disasters, and rebellions initiated by farmers, almost everything made Song Que feel big.
The cause of all this is that the original ruler has been in power for three years, has done nothing, and has been expropriating and expropriating.
Natural and man-made disasters make the people struggling to make a living, and a large amount of silver is needed for disaster relief at the moment, but the treasury cannot take out so much silver taels at present.
"You've got to find a way to raise money."
After reading the recital, Song Que had only one thought in his mind.
That is to raise money for disaster relief.
Because of the fault of the original owner, the country has been in turmoil, if the people do not come up with silver as soon as possible to provide disaster relief, the people will not survive, then it will not be a small-scale peasant rebellion.
But.....
The whole country is against it.
Song Que doesn't want to be the king of the country, and at present, if he wants to have money for disaster relief, he has to scavenge silver taels from powerful ministers and corrupt officials.
However, for Song Que, who has no real power.
If you want to get silver taels from powerful ministers and corrupt officials, the difficulty is equivalent to seeking skin with a tiger.
Hard-hitting is definitely not going to work.
Only outwitted.
Just when Song Que was thinking about how to outwit it, so that he could get silver taels from powerful ministers and corrupt officials.
A scent of orchid enters the nasal cavity.
Then, put a pair of hands on Song Que's shoulders and gently rubbed them.
As soon as Song Que turned around, I don't know when, Xu Jin'er had woken up, walked behind him, and was gently pressing his shoulders with both hands.
"Why did you wake up?" Song Que was a little surprised.
"The concubine has a light sleep, and she saw the emperor's starry night review and folding, so come and take a look, and by the way, I will press your shoulder to relieve fatigue." Xu Jin'er explained with a shallow smile.
Song Que patted the back of Xu Jin'er's warm jade-like hand and said, "I have a heart." ”
After that, continue to review the folds.
Xu Jin'er helped Song Que press her shoulder, her eyes fell on the fold, although she is not a powerful queen, but her family background is not bad, her father is a seven-grade superintendent of the imperial history, she has been proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and she is naturally literate.
Although she could understand the content of the fold, Xu Jin'er couldn't give advice.
Because the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics.
"What do you think about this?" Song Que suddenly picked up the fold in his hand, handed it to Xu Jin'er, and asked her opinion.
"Your Majesty, you must not, the ancestors have a cloud, the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, if Jin'er participates, it is a matter of politics." Xu Jin'er waved her hand again and again to refuse, let alone put forward her opinions.
"It's just you and me here, it's okay."
Song Que waved his hand, the reason why he wanted Xu Jin'er to watch the folds and give his opinion was because when Xu Jin'er pressed his shoulder just now, the strength was sometimes heavy and sometimes light.
Therefore, Song Que concluded that Xu Jin'er could play a certain role to some extent.
One more reference.
There are more ways to do it.
Unable to resist Song Que's enthusiasm, Xu Jin'er took the fold and read it carefully, her eyebrows furrowed slightly: "There is a great drought in the north, and the red land is thousands of miles, but the cabinet only approves 100,000 taels of silver, which is far from enough." ”
"That's right, I have the capital in the south, and the north is the granary, this year's drought is great, there is no harvest, I have to find a way to raise silver taels, but the imperial treasury is empty, and I also have a headache now."
Song Que sighed.
He is also more than capable now.
In addition, Huo Qing, the son of Huo Lei, is the head of the household department and is in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court.
If you want the father and son of the powerful ministers to willingly contribute money and efforts, the difficulty is not ordinary.
Xu Jin'er suddenly found that there was a problem with the instructions of the fold, and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine has something to ask. ”
"Say it."
"On this recital, why is the use of the 100,000 taels of silver approved by the cabinet not stated?"
"I'm confused, too." Song Que had already discovered this problem, but if he wanted to know, he could only know by asking the cabinet ministers tomorrow morning.
"If these 100,000 taels are used to buy grain, I am afraid that the people in the north will not be able to support it for long."
Xu Jin'er's face was full of worry.
Hearing this, Song Que showed a meaningful expression on his face, and from Xu Jin'er's words, he could hear that the other party seemed to have a way.
"Go on." Song Que gestured.
"If half of the 100,000 taels are used to dig wells, I think it will solve many problems for the people in the north." Xu Jin'er explained without hurry: "The north is the granary of the world, even if there is a big drought this year, but there must be grain reserves, and the officials in the north will definitely open warehouses to release grain, and in terms of grain, it should be able to maintain, but the problem of water source is the most important." ”
"Same as me."
After listening to Xu Jin'er's words quietly, Song Que admired Xu Jin'er's meticulousness, and gently tapped Xu Jin'er's nose with his hand.
