After Emperor Qiandi finished speaking, all the adults present whispered, to be honest, this is not a good errand.

Basically, it can be said that it is thankless, if you really want to have a civil and military competition like in the Northern Wei Dynasty, you should win as well, and you will lose face if you lose.

"Your Majesty, this matter is within the scope of the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so let the minister be responsible. ”

There was no one in the hall for a while, and Guo Shu, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had no choice when he saw this, after all, in the end, this matter was the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites, so he could only take it head-on.

Emperor Qian nodded and said: "In this case, Lord Guo is fully responsible for being affected, Lord Zhang of Honglu Temple assists, and the rest of the departments unconditionally cooperate with Lord Guo." ”

"Minister, obey the order. ”

Shang Shumo of the Criminal Department thought about it and asked more: "Your Majesty, these days are not peaceful, do you need to send someone to escort the Northern Wei delegation to the capital?" ”

As soon as the criminal department Shangshu Mo finished speaking, Zhao Haiming, the first assistant, said: "The old minister thinks that it is not necessary, since Lord Mo has already said that the days are not peaceful now, then the yamen of the various departments and offices themselves are not enough, so why waste manpower." Only when the foundation of governing the country is cured can the people of the Northern Wei Dynasty see the style of our great cadres and strong country. According to the old minister's opinion, since the Northern Wei Dynasty came to make people all the hope of the Wei State, I think its safety will be arranged by the Northern Wei Dynasty. ”

All the officials nodded, feeling that Shousuke-sama was reasonable.

"The minister is stupid and dull, what Lord Shoufu said is reasonable, his eyes are like torches, and the minister retracts what he said before. After speaking, Shang Shumo of the Criminal Department retreated.

Emperor Qiandi secretly said in his heart, or the old Shoufu knew my mind very well. Heh, I wish I had died on the road, if I really have the leisure to play these little tricks, it is better to have a confrontation between the two armies.

Of course, Emperor Qiandi must not be able to say these words, otherwise it will seem that Emperor Qiandi or even a big Qian has no stomach and is not decent.

"Okay, then let's do it! Zhong Aiqing still has something important to say no, there is something to start, and there is nothing to retreat from. "Emperor Qian's dragon robe waved, and hundreds of officials saluted.

Several young officials of the supervision temple were about to continue to impeach some small and small officials with the concerto, but they were stopped by Shen Shuwen with a look, obviously Emperor Qiandi was already impatient, what his yamen did was originally to offend people, but don't offend Emperor Qiandi again, it will be unpleasant.

The remaining hundreds of officials folded, and all the large and small approvals were collected by the eunuchs under Mu Gonggong, and the important ones were sent to the study for personal review by Emperor Qian, and the unimportant ones were all put into the Yushu Hall to give the six scholars a headache.

The officials retreated.

The two left and right governors are both assistants to the first assistant and deputy assistants, and Zhao Haiming is expected to move to the front after a hundred years, and he is a very popular minister.

The governor of the left staff is called Cheng Li, and the governor of the right staff is called Pan Toyota, both of whom are walking beside the old Shoufu Zhao Haiming at this time, asking about the general of Xijin today.

Han Donglin, the official on the side, also came over at this time, and listened to the high opinion of the old Shoufu, why a pork that Zheng Yun snatched from his mouth suddenly appeared.

Lao Shoufu told a few people about the doorway as he walked, "You three are confused about this matter, and it doesn't fit the Sacred Heart Luo." ”

The three of them couldn't help but smile awkwardly when the old Shoufu said.

The old Shoufu Zhao Haiming continued: "Don't talk about this time, it's these things in the future, you adults must not do your duty, don't think about getting involved anymore, otherwise maybe you will leave earlier than the old man." ”

"Shousuke-sama, why do you say this? Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, was confused, this party was selfish, and he accepted bribes more or less, and Emperor Qiandi just turned a blind eye, and besides, it was a normal process, just borrowing some shortcuts within the scope of his authority, but it was not as serious as the old Shoufu said.

"This is going to change the sky, and Your Majesty will naturally build the house with a straw hut to avoid rain. Our Majesty is a generation of heroes, who doesn't want to establish the merits of thousands of generations, inherit the past and the present, you don't want to become a roadblock. Old Shousuke looked at the sky and said.

Mo Ci, who happened to walk to the side, was naturally relieved when he heard this, why did the old Shoufu disagree with his statement at that time, and he had heard that Li Ming, the secretary of the household department, said that military spending is increasing year by year, but the household finance is not rich, and it turns out that Emperor Qiandi has already prepared to clean up internal affairs to meet the major events in the future.

Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, Cheng Li, the left and Pan Fengfeng, the right staff, are naturally not fools when they are mixed with the second grade and the first grade.

"Lord Xie Shoufu instructed, and Xia Guan knew what to do. "The official department of Shangshu thanked him and left, this return home can not return the gold and silver treasures received a few days ago one by one, think about it is still a little distressing, to the mouth of the meat, can not eat, drooling.

Seeing that Han Donglin, the secretary of the ministry, was leaving, Cheng Li, the left counselor, and Pan Toyota, the right counselor, were also about to leave, but they were scolded by Zhao Haiming, the old assistant: "Slow, you two go with me." ”

The two of them were suddenly scolded by Lao Shousuke, and they were still a little timid in their hearts, and followed Lao Shoufu forward.

Walking to a place where there was no one, the old Shoufu Zhao Haiming said slowly: "You two, what should I say about you." As I said a long time ago, you have all been involved in political affairs, so don't get involved in all those messy things. I am already seventy-three years old this year, and I have a few years to live, thanks to Your Majesty and the first Emperor Longen, I have been relying on this position, and sooner or later one of you two will have to sit in my place, and see what you have done. If I hadn't gone out for two days, the threshold of my house would have been squeezed out, in order to avoid suspicion, it would be better for you to seize the opportunity and gain a lot, right?"

Cheng Li and Pan Fengtian lowered their heads in shame, firstly because they accepted the gift, but because Lao Shoufu had already given a hint, but the two of them took it as an opportunity to collect money.

The old Shoufu sighed and said: "I really think that the governor seems to be a high-ranking official and a supreme minister, and he is really not good? If I really die, the position of this Shoufu must be you to sit? Stupid, I really hurt myself! I saw His Majesty's Jade Office Hall, if you two can't do it, believe it or not, today I am dead, tomorrow Your Majesty will appoint a highly respected cabinet elder from the Jade Office Hall with an edict, you can just watch it." If you can't grasp the opportunity yourself, then give it to others. ”

Cheng Li's face was not very good and said: "Old Zhao, this shouldn't be right, right?"

Shoufu Zhao Haiming snorted coldly: "Do you really think that Your Majesty's Jade Office Hall and Wenyuan will do miscellaneous work, and just use your pen to help Your Majesty deal with some trivial matters? Let me tell you, the official documents that people have reviewed and written, and the edicts they have written are more than the gifts you have in your pockets, so what is the use of asking you?"

Cheng Li nodded and said, "Elder Zhao is right, Xia Guan knows what to do." ”

Pan Toyota also said yes again and again.

Lao Shoufu waved his hand, and said as he walked: "I'm just a few more years of official than you, after all, I don't want you to lose your career because of these big things." Remember, as an official of the DPRK and the Central Committee, you must look at how far you are, and don't be carried away by the temptation in front of you. Don't have too much money, just enough to eat and drink, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't think so much, you have to have a life to spend. Besides, like you, you have already participated in political affairs, how much money have you not seen in private? What delicacies of the mountains and seas have you never eaten?

"Isn't this the greatest blessing for our children and grandchildren?"

Cheng Li and Pan Fengtian followed behind Lao Shoufu and savored the words.

After Emperor Qiandi retired from the early court, he let Gonggong Mu come to the Qianning Palace, and saw that Empress Zhao was burning incense and worshiping the pair of Qilin sent by the old Shoufu was very serious, and Emperor Qiandi signaled the palace maids on the side not to make a sound, and stood aside and waited for Queen Zhao to finish worshipping.

I saw that the pair of unicorns were wiped translucent, and there were also fruits on the side, all of which were done by Queen Zhao herself, and she was very careful.

After praying and playing, Empress Zhao turned her head and saw Emperor Qian, she was not mentally prepared, she was frightened, and said angrily: "When Your Majesty came, she didn't say anything, which made people startled." ”

Emperor Qian smiled and took Empress Zhao's hand and sat down at the table next to him and said, "Seeing that you are praying for blessings, I naturally don't want to disturb you." That's a big disrespect, what if I disturb the Qilin Divine Beast and don't give me the prince?"

Empress Zhao shyly pretended to blame: "This is a piece of my father's heart, Your Majesty doesn't want to make fun of it, he specially sent it to me personally, and the concubine also liked it very much at first sight, so she offered it well." ”

Emperor Qiandi couldn't help but sigh when he heard the old Shoufu and said: "It's really difficult for the old Shoufu, I specially invited back a pair of Kirin, even if my Mo family has the grace of knowing the old Shoufu, but the old Shoufu doesn't owe me the Mo family at all." ”

Others don't know the traces of Lao Shoufu, but Emperor Qian naturally knows exactly where Lao Shoufu went and what he did. After three or four days of traveling and traveling, I bought this pair and sent the unicorn back. According to the report of Shadow Dragon Guard, when the old Shoufu returned to the capital, he didn't return home, so he went straight to the palace.

is old, and the old bones are still tossing back and forth, just to let her daughter be the mother of the people, add some incense to the Mo family, and have no other intentions.

Then Emperor Qianle looked at Queen Zhao with a smile: "You also gave me such a good daughter-in-law, I think I haven't been established as a prince back then!"

Thinking about it this way, Lao Shoufu really doesn't have a sense of scheming, and he has always done his duty seriously.

Hearing Emperor Qian's words, Empress Zhao's expression was a little gloomy, "The concubine married His Majesty at the age of twenty, and fourteen years have passed. Fortunately, he was loved by His Majesty, but his stomach was not angry, and he never gave birth to a son and a half daughter to His Majesty, which really lived up to His Majesty's love. ”

Emperor Qian stepped forward and hugged Empress Zhao and comforted: "Don't blame yourself, I have never blamed you, really, this heir was originally loved by God and couldn't come." Besides, didn't our father-in-law send the Rui Beast Kirin back, maybe he will be pregnant tonight, and he will have a big fat boy next year. ”

Empress Zhao, who was in Emperor Qian's arms, was ridiculed and said slightly: "Actually, I'm used to being disappointed for so many years, but I still feel a little sad every time I think about it, I'm sorry Your Majesty." ”

"It's good if you think about it, you can't force this kind of thing, I'm really afraid that you will be stunned one day. Don't worry, the pair of Kirin sent by Lao Shoufu will definitely work. Then Emperor Qian walked to the pair of unicorns, lit incense himself, and worshipped, very respectfully.

The queen looked at Emperor Qian, and couldn't help but smile like a flower, as the queen of the imperial family, there were many concubines in Emperor Qian's harem, but over the years, she had been in love with herself, and Queen Zhao was already very satisfied.

The two of them have a good heart, and there is no need to say much.

"Your Majesty is busy so early today, isn't it a court meeting?" Empress Zhao suddenly remembered that it was not yet time for lunch. Normally, Emperor Qiandi will review the folds after the court meeting, and then most of them enter the harem after having lunch in the imperial study, which is a little strange today.

Emperor Qian shook his head and smiled: "I'm a little upset, so I'll come to your side to sit down first, and then I'll go back to the imperial study." ”

"If there is anything that upsets Your Majesty, you can tell me about it. Empress Zhao said while pouring tea for Emperor Qian.

Emperor Qian nodded heavily and said: "Actually, I am here to listen to you, your father is also the old Shoufu, he is seventy-three years old this year, and he has worked hard for the Great Qianfu all his life, and I also want to let the old Shoufu not have to be busy anymore, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace." However, how many of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty could do their best for the country and the people like the old Shoufu, and all they thought about was the immediate interests. Judging from my current situation, the two governors are also embarrassed to take on the task. ”

Empress Zhao comforted: "Your Majesty, don't worry, my father has been an official all his life, if he suddenly stays at home and has nothing to do all day long, he will have to suffocate." In my opinion, there are still capable people that Your Majesty has not yet discovered, and Your Majesty does not need to stick to useless people. Besides, who is an official in the DPRK is not seeking fame and profit, and contributing to the country is also based on equivalent interests. Even my father studied hard back then, didn't he want to be looked down upon by others in the future, and not have to live a hungry and cold life. Then he met the first emperor in the countryside, and only then did he have the opportunity to enter the court as an official. ”

Empress Zhao's words woke up Emperor Qian, "The queen's words woke me up, just like I appointed Zheng Yun as the general of Xijin today, and the virtuous live there." ”

"Yes, many people are just like the tea that His Majesty drinks, some are born bitter and bitter, some are refreshing and refreshing, and the right one is the best. ”

"Hahahaha, sure enough, if there is a father, there must be a daughter, and now the first assistant above the court knows my mind best, and you know my mind best in the harem. ”

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of it, the concubine is just talking casually. ”

Then Emperor Qian chatted with Empress Zhao for a while, but did not have lunch here, but drove back to the imperial study to deal with political affairs.

Before leaving, he said that after finishing his political affairs, he would come to the queen's side for dinner tonight, and by the way, he would like a prince and princess.

Secretly said, they are all in their thirties, and they are not serious, and it didn't take long for Emperor Qiandi to let Mu Gong go to the imperial study.
