Zhu Jianshen was still quite persuasive, at least he listened to Li Qing's persuasion, and the next day at the court meeting, he proposed the division of financial power.

Sixty percent of the state's tax revenue goes to the state treasury and forty percent goes to the internal treasury.

As Li Qing said, the ministers have not been comfortable in the past six months, the emperor has compromised, and they have also gained the upper hand, and if they bite for that success, they are afraid that it will backfire.

Such a division is barely acceptable.

In the past few years, it has become more and more difficult for them to control the emperor, and correspondingly, their arrogance has also decreased a lot.

After the distribution of financial power was determined, the turbulent court slowly calmed down, but the relationship between the monarch and the minister did not ease much.

Zhu Jianshen is very good at coming to things, seeing this situation, he immediately gave a favor, and the summer is scorching, and the big guys' families subsidize a bucket of ice cubes every day to cool off.

It doesn't cost much, but it's a lot of thought.

The emperor's intentions, especially in the eyes of good-faced civil officials, are still very valuable, and of course, high-ranking generals have not been left behind.

The main one is a bowl of water and flat.

This year's Zhu Jianshen, with the face of an upstart, will smash people with money at every turn, which is really ...... Some hurt self-esteem.

In this regard, the ministers were angry, and they really ...... Why not a little more?

The seventh day of the sixth month is a day of great joy.

The virtuous concubine Bai Shi gave birth to a dragon son.

Zhu Jianshen was overjoyed, and held a banquet in the palace to celebrate with his courtiers.

There is no need to follow the group, eat and drink for nothing, Li Qing of salted fish came to join in the fun.

As for the feast, he is never absent when he can catch up.

In Fengtiandian Square, Li Qing naturally sat at a table in the cabinet.

Counting him, there are four people in total, and it is the most advantageous to sit at this table.

It's all in the same office, I don't see it when I look up, I don't show it in my heart, and I get along very well on my face.

The emperor has not yet arrived, and the four of them have tea and chat.

Wan An raised the teacup and said with a smile: "The dragon descended from the sky, it is the blessing of my Ming Dynasty, everyone, you have to drink a few glasses of water and wine today, let's replace the wine with tea, drink a glass first!" ”

It's like you're giving birth to a son...... Li Qing rolled his eyes.

Shang Lu and Liu Dingzhi were also quite dissatisfied with him;

First, Wan An's sloppy slap made them very uncomfortable, and they felt that he had seriously damaged the dignity of the cabinet;

Second, Wan An also serves as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, except for Li Qing, the marquis, who is the largest Wan'an official among several people, and he is also good at sneaking around and patting horses, and the position of first assistant is likely to fall on this guy.

Shang and Liu are naturally unhappy, they have been in the cabinet for many years, but they have to be compared to a newcomer, especially, this talent is still very average.

It's true: the dog lifts the curtain - all with one mouth!

"Lord Wan is at his own convenience, the official has already drunk two cups, I'm afraid that it will be rude in front of the king later." Shang Chen said with a smile.

Li Qing was much more direct: "This official is not thirsty." ”

Liu Dingzhi: "When it is...... Ahem, this official is not thirsty, please poop. ”

If you don't drink it, then I won't drink it either...... Wan An put down the teacup and turned to talk about other things.

I don't know if he is thick-skinned, or he doesn't notice that a few people are annoying him, and he keeps talking, especially to Li Qing, who is very tight and complimentary.

His thoughts are known to all.

Li Qing was so annoyed that he almost couldn't help but deprive him of his ability to speak.

In desperation, he simply made it clear: "Lord Wan, this official will not sit, if I wanted to sit, I would have sat down a long time ago." ”

"Huh? Brother Li, where is this, in terms of ability, in terms of qualifications, who are you to be the first assistant? Wan An smiled and said, "Brother Liu, Brother Shang, what do you say?" ”

"Hehe, that's right."

The two of them didn't smile, and they were so annoyed with this guy: What are you pretending? The people Yongqinghou have made it clear, and you are still talking;

Bite? What about eye medicine for the two of us?

You're not the first one......

The two of them almost couldn't hold back their foul language, it was too deceitful!

The two of them simply learned from Li Qing, leaned back on the chair, closed their eyes and recuperated, and didn't look at Wan An.

Whew~ It's finally clean...... The three of them just breathed a sigh of relief, but they heard Wan An shouting: "Brother Li, Brother Liu, Brother Shang, the emperor has arrived." ”

Hearing this, the three of them had to open their eyes, and as a result... Long Yuan has just emerged, and there is still a long way to go.

But Wan An had already gotten up and bowed slightly towards Long Yuan, his expression respectful, almost reverent.

You don't worship the king, it's really condescending to you...... Li Qing slandered.

Shang Shi and Liu Dingzhi were also speechless, but everyone got up, and they couldn't sit anymore, so they could only get up and greet them......

So much so that Wan An single-handedly led all the officials.

The dragon chariot was stable and steady, and it was very slow, and it took a while to come closer.

Zhu Jianshen had just landed with one foot, and before he could stand firmly, a loud voice sounded first:

"Weichen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Zhu Jianshen felt comfortable in his heart, and when he saw that it was Wan'an, his expression returned to normal, this guy has always been so respectful.

"Ministers see my emperor long live, long live, long live ......!" The ministers bowed down one after another, and their voices were not in order, and they all blamed Wan'an for disrupting the rhythm......

"All the ministers are flat!" Zhu Jianshen didn't care about this, and said with a pleasant face, "No need to be formal, just sit down." ”

"Your Majesty."

The ministers got up and sat down again.

After a while, one dish after another began to be served, and the piano music of the teaching workshop sounded......

After the wine and delicacies were served, Zhu Jianshen moved his chopsticks, and the banquet officially began.

said that it was too late, it was fast, I saw Wan An pick up the wine jug, hurriedly pour a glass, and rush to Zhu Jianshen.

Li Qing couldn't help but be stunned, and forgot to pick up the chopsticks.

This guy... Is it a toast or a stab?

Huai'en's eyelids trembled wildly, if it weren't for Wan Andu's age, he would really be shouting for escort.

Tainyima is scary!

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor, God bless me ......!" Before the Wan'an people arrived, there were a lot of auspicious words, and when they got closer, they shed tears of joy......

Li Qing has been an official for so long, and now he has really opened his eyes, he has seen a lot of patting the emperor's sycophants, but he is ...... It was the first time he had seen him.

With his own strength, Wan An forcibly raised the realm of sycophants to the atmosphere.

Honestly, it's fake,

However, it works!

Wan An is not stupid, he naturally knows that his actions full of performance elements cannot move the emperor, but it is not important.

The emperor was willing to promote him to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and summoned him to the cabinet, and he took a fancy to this characteristic.

The purpose is to make the ministers respectful and obedient!

Sycophants are his core competitiveness, and they must be carried forward.

He can be said to have completely grasped the point, although the emperor has goosebumps, the emperor will still praise him and reuse him,

Because...... The Emperor needs someone to emulate him!

This...... It can also be regarded as a conspiracy, although it is despicable.

In fact, as Wan An expected, the emperor was very happy and gave him the honor of having a banquet at the same table.

Wan An worked very hard and sat down from the cabinet table to the emperor's table.

Li Qing couldn't help but think of a picture he saw in the market in later generations - a crab of fifty yuan a catty climbed into a pool of one hundred yuan a catty.

Only...... Very vivid.

You can laugh at Wan An, but you have to admit that in a sense, people are really hardworking.

Li Qing glanced at the court bosses around him, and sure enough, they were all disdainful and envious.

Li Qing frowned slightly: The introduction of Wan'an will inevitably drive the culture of shaving and slapping horses, and even become a trend;

Well... This is a double-edged sword, which is conducive to Zhu Jianshen's power, but... I still have to beat Zhu Jianshen afterwards, don't really float away, forget the original intention.

~

If there is no person, it is always good, especially after Wan'an does this, Shang Zhen and Liu Dingzhi have no appetite, and a large table of dishes is all cheap for Li Qing.

Li Qing ate with a mouth full of oil, and the one he made was called a huan, eating chicken and legs, and eating fish and only eating head......

As soon as I got through, I was full of five and six full, and my stomach was full of essence.

However, Li Qing always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't say what it was.

It wasn't until the banquet was over that he finally remembered what was missing.

When you patronize the feast, why don't you think about whose feast it is?

Is this dragon son the future Hongji? Li Qing scratched his head: Damn, what's Hongzhi's name?

The emperor of the Ming Dynasty, except for Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, the other emperors, he only remembered the name of the year, and he didn't know what the name was.

Of course, the name of the emperor and even the crown prince is not secret, as long as he is in the court, he will know it, but Li Qing has considered retirement, but he can't wait that long.

Based on this, Li Qing, who was halfway through, turned back and wanted to find Zhu Jianshen to test it.

Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Jianshen drank a lot of wine, his face was red, but his interest was still very high.

He smiled and said, "Mr. is looking for me, but is it for leave?" ”

"The emperor is wise, but so." Li Qing nodded, "However, before that, I have something I want to ask the emperor, and I hope the emperor can tell the truth." ”

Zhu Jianshen glanced at him and snorted, "With our relationship between monarchs and ministers, are you using such a roundabout thing?" Just ask! ”

Li Qing nodded: "Dare to ask the emperor, the prince ......"

He paused suddenly, realizing that it was useless to ask for a name, after all...... He didn't know what Hongji's name was, so he asked instead:

"Does the emperor have any intention of making this prince the crown prince?"

Zhu Jianshen's eyes were shining, and he looked directly at Li Qing, but Li Qing had a calm face.

After a while, Zhu Jianshen looked away and said with a light smile: "That's why you ask, others have to beat him with a cane." ”

After pondering for a moment, he nodded lightly: "I think so, Concubine Xian's family has no one, the foundation is relatively clean, and the queen is not born... Of course, she can't give birth...... Well, that's it. ”

Li Qing nodded lightly: "Since this is the case, then I have a word." ”

"You say."

"Before the age of ten, you'd better take it yourself and teach it yourself," Li Qing said rarely: "Wait for the three views... After the prince's cognition of things is formed, choose a good teacher for him......"

Speaking of this, Li Qing suddenly thought of someone and said, "That Li prodigy is very good." ”

Zhu Jianshen nodded slowly, and then shook his head again: "I have a ready-made one in front of me, why do I have to go far?"

Belch... You'll be able to live to that point, right? ”

"......" Li Qing was speechless, and said: "By the way, the emperor, I want to ask for leave!" ”

"Approved."

This emperor is very tiger, don't you ask how long...... Li Qing was overjoyed: "Really? ”

"The Son of Heaven is a man of his word!" Zhu Jianshen laughed and said boldly: "I will add two more days to you!" ”
