The sun hangs high above the head, spreading its enthusiasm regardless of whether the people on the ground can bear it or not. The entire capital seems to be a little wilted by this overly enthusiastic sun. In such weather, if
There is no need. Few people are willing to walk on this street. Those who have two small coins are the right ones to find a tea shop and drink some tea to avoid the sun. But those who are short of money or reluctant to part with those few coins are just right.
, also find a shady place to take a nap in the corner of a big house or under a big tree at the entrance of an alley, and wait until the sun goes down before doing your own thing again.
However, there were also surprises. At least, in the Leopard Room, there was no such laziness. Water dragons were dragged and held by young eunuchs in eunuch uniforms. Under the command of eunuchs with higher positions, they were
One by one, they energetically sprayed water on the various rooms of the Leopard Room. The water columns rose high, and a few strands of neon colors were drawn in the air, and then turned into waves of water mist, clinging to them.
The water on the huge tiles evaporates and takes away the heat from the roof. No matter how hot the sun is outside, the house will be extremely cool.
There are also little eunuchs, holding long sticky poles, turning the noisy summer cicadas into dead cicadas one by one in the trees around the palace.
To please those noble people, let alone the fact that this is the emperor’s personal decree, how dare they not take it seriously?
Zhu Houzhao was sitting in the cool hall, slightly in a trance. He was holding a pen in his hand, but his eyes were not on the memorial in front of him. Beside him, there were stacks of memorials in baskets neatly placed there.
, those have not yet been approved; and those that have been approved are all on his Long Case, but it seems that the number of memorials that have been approved is a bit shy.
These days, Zhu Houzhao was in pain and happiness. Liu Jin executed him. In addition to the wealth copied from Liu Jin's house, which greatly enriched the inner treasury, what made him gain even more was the looks of fear from his ministers.
This is the joy of an emperor, the feeling of sitting on the dragon's throne and listening to the cabinet ministers handling the affairs of the government like an outsider. How can it be so satisfying to have the power to control everything with one word?
However, what followed was endless government affairs. Although the cabinet had already solved a large part of the package that was sent to him, he still felt a little uncomfortable with the remaining small part.
It’s too much!
The Si Lijian is now in name only. The position of the popular eunuch with the palm print and the eunuch Bingbi in the past has now become a place that no one wants to go to. Liu Jin has been trying to kill him for so long. The position of the eunuch with the palm print has always been hanging in the air.
Now even Zhu Houzhao himself is starting to feel a little annoyed. If there were a eunuch with palm prints and a few eunuchs with pens to criticize him, why would he need to work so hard now?
"Is Qian Wubing here yet?" He rubbed his sore wrist, threw the ink pen in his hand onto the dragon table, and asked outside.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qian hasn't arrived yet!" The little eunuch's reply came from the door. He looked at the sun outside, stood up, turned around twice, and sat down with some resentment.
Qian Wubing is too incompetent to do things. The morning is much cooler than now. Feng'er finally agreed to come to the Leopard Room to see me. You should have come here with your sister under your protection early in the morning. You haven't seen anyone since the delay. After all,
What the hell is going on? If the heat reaches Feng'er and the child in Feng'er's belly, even if you are Feng'er's brother, I will have to give you some pain! Feng'er is really the same, I can't even send people there, I have to
He wants Qian Wubing to protect him. With such a temper, if he enters the palace in the future, can he still let Qian Wubing be cut off and serve in the palace?
When Zhu Houzhao thought of this, he smiled and opened the memorial in his hand.
His handwriting is very beautiful. Although Li Feng'er always laughs at him, it is undeniable that when he was the prince, he had a headache when he heard reading. However, he has practiced this handwriting, and now he is writing on the memorial.
His approval was precise and royal.
"allow!"
"Can!"
“Just follow the precedent!”
He threw aside the memorials one by one. He didn't even read the contents of some memorials carefully. He simply used these memorials as copybooks to practice calligraphy. Anyway, they were all things that had been screened by the cabinet. He
Don't worry about anything going wrong.
"Hey!" The pen in his hand slowed down, and his familiar name appeared on His Majesty's memorial, which made him couldn't help but look at the memorial carefully.
This is an impeachment excerpt of a supervisory censor at the Censor's Office. Zhu Houzhao didn't even look at the name of the censor, and went straight over. As the saying goes, if the old man doesn't have a censor under his command, it won't work even if he farts. This
The censor, whose name Zhu Houzhao didn't even want to know, was obviously the vanguard of a certain cabinet minister, and the fact that this letter appeared on Zhu Houzhao's desk already explained the problem.
What caught Zhu Houzhao's attention was the fact that the censor was impeaching him, and it was Qian Wubing who he was obsessed with at the moment.
The content of the impeachment is very simple: Qian Wubing is greedy and domineering, squeezing businessmen and profiting from them, and the businessmen are suffering unspeakably.
Damn it, Nima Le Gobi! Zhu Houzhao threw the document to the ground hard. Damn it, why don’t you inquire carefully before impeachment? You just let it go like this. Every line in these words refers to the Sihai Tower run by Qian Wubing. Where is this?
It is to impeach Qian Wubing. This is a slap in Zhu Houzhao’s face!
Zhu Houzhao didn't know much about Sihai Tower, how to run it and how to make money, but he knew that this building had to send in at least one hundred thousand taels of silver to the inner treasury every month. Such a golden chicken that could lay eggs could actually be impeached by you as a censor.
Yes, I took away Qian Wubing, so you can make money for me. If nothing else, ask the Ministry of Accounts to allocate money to me in this mighty university!
No wonder Zhu Houzhao was angry. Although he was an emperor and rich all over the world, the money he could really use was the money in the internal treasury. The Ministry of Revenue was in charge of the world's taxes. It was good to have money, but if he reached out to get money from the Ministry of Revenue
, you will have to be scolded to death by all the officials of the court and even the people of the world. That is the money of the people of the world, and the money of the world is used for the people of the world, not for you, the emperor, to enjoy alone.
It sounds strange, right? But this is the rule of the Ming Dynasty. How hard it was for Zhu Houzhao. To build this house, Liu Jin had to get some money from the mining tax to repair it. His inner treasury was such that even a rat had to hold it in his mouth.
A bag of tears came out. Liu Jin finally fell. He had just started to improve in the inner treasury. These censors were staring at Sihai Tower, the only place where he had more money. Damn, you don't want to be such a bully!
It's good to have some money in the treasury, but most of it was contributed by Liu Jin. The Ministry of Revenue took the bulk of it! It's impossible for the Ming Dynasty to lose a guy like Liu Jin every year. You don't want me to live a good life.
ah!
Take the canonization of Li Feng'er this time as an example. Although he is the emperor, the dignity of the royal family is still important. Li Feng'er cannot be canonized by just one person. Several of the lower-ranking concubines must be promoted. Li Feng'er is among them.
The canonization together will make it less conspicuous. In this case, the courtiers will not have so many nitpickings.
But damn, the amount of money required to confer one canonization is different from that of several canonizations. All the money is spent from the internal treasury. The officials in the Ministry of Revenue don’t care whether you have money in the internal treasury or not. You want
When you talk to them, just say two words: "No money!" If Zhu Houzhao continues to be verbose, then I'm sorry, the ministers will start to teach Zhu Houzhao, what is the way of a king, what is caring for the people, what is the household department, there is no surplus food, this
No amount of money is enough. In a word, emperor, you can do what you want. Of course we have to take care of whether you marry a wife or not. The emperor has no selfish interests, but if you want money, it is none of our business.
It is also the tradition of the Ming Dynasty that the official is not guilty. Zhu Houzhao can't just slap the censor for this matter, or simply take off the guy's pants like Liu Jin and spank him at the Meridian Gate. Therefore, Zhu Houzhao is angry because he is angry.
, but this time he was sulking. At this time, he actually thought about Liu Jin. If Liu Jin was here, this guy would definitely have no good end.
Putting aside this fold, Zhu Houzhao opened the next fold. Damn, it was about impeaching Qian Wubing again. Are these censors just eating enough to support themselves? Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he put the fold in his hand.
He threw the pen out together: "Don't read it, don't read it, leave them all!"
"Who made you angry?" Li Feng'er's voice rang at the door of the hall. Zhu Houzhao was huffing angrily with his hands behind his back. Hearing this voice, he turned around and a smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Why are you here at this time? It's so hot outside and I haven't heard from the slaves yet. These guys are lazy again!" He stepped forward and was about to greet Li Feng'er.
Li Feng'er picked up the folders from the ground, flipped them through casually, and said, "I asked those people not to disturb you. I originally wanted to give you a surprise, but I didn't expect to see you so angry as soon as I walked in!"
She looked at the memorial in the basket and smiled slightly: "This looks a bit like an emperor. I never had a formal appearance before!"
Without Zhu Houzhao's instructions, the clever eunuch had already brought the chilled plum soup. Unfortunately, Li Feng'er looked at the steaming soup cup and had no intention of using it at all.
Even if Qian Wubing didn't tell her, she wouldn't touch the food here. Since the Queen Mother didn't like her, there really wasn't anything she could rest assured about the people around Zhu Houzhao and the food around him, even if she and Zhu Houzhao ate together.
One thing, maybe if Zhu Houzhao is fine, something will happen to her, a pregnant woman.
"They are all trying to impeach Wu Bing. Wu Bing is wrong to make money for you outside. He also plans to send people to Jiangnan to make the business bigger. I have to persuade him to give up his idea quickly, lest he make more money.
The more you do, the more jealous you will be!"
The sun hangs high above the head, spreading its enthusiasm regardless of whether the people on the ground can bear it or not. The entire capital seems to be a little wilted by this overly enthusiastic sun. In such weather, if
