Chapter 110: The Subjective Method Critic Memorial
Wu Meiniang was stunned.
She didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor could clearly remember the days when they were separated, and could even see that she had lost weight.
"Your Majesty... everything is fine with me, my concubine."
Wu Meiniang lowered her head. This feeling of being cared for and cared about made her feel complicated and unspeakable for a moment.
Li Qian glanced at the old eunuch standing aside, then turned to glance at the eunuchs and maids in the palace.
The old eunuch understood immediately and found an excuse to drive those people out to run errands. He himself stood obediently at the door of the political hall.
There was something in the palace that could be heard by outside ministers, so the old eunuch had naturally reported it to Li Qian a long time ago.
As for asking Wu Meiniang to help him approve the memorial, Li Qian didn't want others to know, otherwise he would definitely be spoiled.
Daqian did not have a rule that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, but in the subconscious mind of the ministers, only the queen who commanded the sixth palace was extremely noble, her mother cared for the world, and could comment on national policies, and other miscellaneous concubines were forgettable.
Li Qian turned to look at Wu Meiniang and saw her hanging her head in silence. Li Qian sighed softly and took her into his arms: "If you have nothing to do in the Sixth Palace from now on, just go to the Palace of Eternal Life to find me."
Wu Meiniang put her jade arms around his waist, buried her head in his arms, rubbed his shoulder gently with her head, and replied in a low voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, I understand."
Li Qian hugged Wu Meiniang, and the two of them were affectionate for a while, and then he said, "I know you are smart, and I want you to do something this time."
It is impossible to fool around with things like criticizing memorials. Instead of hiding it, it is better to say it directly.
"In recent days, those ministers always say that I do not act in government affairs, but I feel a headache after reading these various memorials from them."
Li Qian leaned back on the chair, rubbed his brows and sighed: "Mei Niang is very smart, so I asked you to share my worries."
Wu Meiniang was startled and raised her head in astonishment.
She thought that His Majesty came to her this time because he wanted to ask about something small, but she didn't expect that it turned out to be such a big matter.
Approval of memorials!
This is something only the emperor and prime minister can do!
"Your Majesty, I am very frightened, and I would never dare to speak untruthfully about state affairs..." Wu Meiniang lowered her head, looking a little frightened.
Agreeing to this job meant that she would not have to be stuck in the quagmire of the Sixth Palace for the time being. No matter what concubine the emperor favored, she would never be without Wu Meiniang.
It’s just that the span between approving memorials and asking questions is too big. This is a major national event!
Before entering the palace, Wu Meiniang struggled to survive with her mother, but she had never been exposed to such a thing! She was afraid that she would mess up the matter by neglecting it, which would make the emperor angry.
Li Qian smiled softly: "I have long said that you and I are not kings and ministers, but a family."
"Besides, I'm not asking you to work on these memorials day and night. I'm just asking you to help me read the details together."
What Li Qian wants to express is very obvious. He is not leaving all the memorial matters to you, but asking you to help me come up with ideas.
"His Majesty……"
But Wu Meiniang was still holding onto Li Qian's sleeves with her green-white fingers, her beautiful red phoenix eyes full of embarrassment: "I am only a little bit quick-witted, how can I comment on such a national matter?"
"I said you can, you can."
Li Qian smiled and hugged her into his arms again, and comforted her: "It doesn't matter if the review is wrong. Anyway, there are still left and right ministers behind, and they will tell me."
"Besides, do you think this is all a national matter?"
Li Qian pointed to the memorials on the table: "How can there be so many important national affairs to be memorialized? Most of these memorials are just trivial things!"
He smiled and took out a memorial, pointed it to Wu Meiniang and said: "Look at this, the minister of Dali Temple was late for the court, so they played it here."
"Could it be that if Yan Maoqing is late, the court will not be able to survive? There are many people who want to be the minister of Dali Temple! How big a deal is this?"
Unexpectedly, Wu Meiniang was stunned when she heard this.
When Samurai Yu was still alive, she was also the apple of her father's eye. She could go in and out of Samurai Yu's study, and she could occasionally hear the conversations between her father and his colleagues.
Being impeached is a top priority for officials. If the impeachment charges are serious, officials will have to go to court to defend themselves. In more serious cases, they may even have to stop attending the office and stay at home to wait for the punishment.
This is a major event that can determine the fate of an official.
As the third-rank minister of Dali Temple, Wu Meiniang was a person whom Wu Meiniang could not even look up to in the past. The brother who kicked her out of the house was only a fifth-rank official, and he was not worthy to carry shoes for such a person.
But now, in His Majesty the Emperor's words, it is just a "no big deal."
The red ink-soaked ink pen rests quietly on the topaz dragon-patterned pen holder. It seems that just by lifting it up and lightly sketching it, the fate of this big man can be decided...
Wu Meiniang's breathing was rapid, and her arms around Li Qian were slightly tight.
Li Qian still held her shoulders and said with a smile: "Mei Niang, there are more than two hundred such trivial memorials every day. This is a tiring job, and it is difficult for me to finish it alone."
"Your Majesty..." Wu Meiniang bit her red lips, raised her head and met Li Qian's eyes for a moment.
"Being able to share your Majesty's worries is a blessing I have earned in ten lifetimes." Wu Meiniang snuggled into his arms and hugged Li Qian tightly.
Wu Meiniang understood that if she did not agree, the issue of the memorial would not go away. The most he could do was find someone else, but she would lose this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
She has given up on Israel's way of serving people. If she leaves this kind of thing to others again, will she be able to return to His Majesty again in this life?
Li Qian was very satisfied with Wu Meiniang's reaction. He bowed his head and kissed her on her fair forehead: "Meiniang is indeed a person who understands my feelings."
There is no doubt about Wu Meiniang's talent and intelligence. With her here to help, I will probably be able to get better at memorializing.
"Your Majesty~"
However, Wu Meiniang gave a coquettish cry, blushed, and buried her head in his arms.
This is the political affairs hall, where the emperors of all dynasties have worked hard to handle government affairs.
How could you do something so disrespectful?
But Li Qian didn't care, he held up Wu Meiniang's charming face with a smile and insisted on kissing her enough before he stopped.
"Your Majesty, it's time to get down to business."
Wu Meiniang, with her pretty red lips, panted and leaned into Li Qian's arms.
This business is naturally not that business.
Li Qian held her waist with one hand, and casually took the memorial just now with the other hand.
"Okay, then tell me first how you want to deal with Yan Maoqing?"
Back to business, Wu Meiniang also stood up from Li Qian's arms and sat up straight, straightening her slightly messy clothes and hair. She thought for a moment and then said to Li Qian: "Your Majesty, in fact, in my opinion, how to deal with Yan Maoqing is still a matter of course. It depends on your attitude towards him."
"If you don't like him, such a crime is enough to demote him and transfer him."
"If you like this person, then according to the laws of the Qian Dynasty, you will be fined half a month's salary. This will not happen again."
