Chapter 123 The confrontation between Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi
Since the last time His Majesty the Emperor summoned Wu Meiniang, the concubines of the Sixth Palace have lived another four dark days.
Until this morning, the eunuch sent by His Majesty the Emperor arrived at the Sixth Palace again.
If I came to summon you in the morning, I would not have turned over the sign and asked someone to go over to bed.
But the concubines will not forget that the eldest grandson Wugou was summoned in the morning after being summoned to stay with His Majesty for such a long time.
Wu Meiniang has not come back yet after being informed that she was summoned in the morning.
Now that His Majesty has come to visit me again in the morning, is it possible that he will also be pampered for a while?
The concubines were still looking forward to it, and at the same time they were in a gloomy mood.
If I can't make it this time, will I have to wait for a while?
After a while, the eunuchs who conveyed the decree carried the carriage and headed south with a concubine in green clothes and a slender back.
The concubines looked at the group of people reluctantly and asked one after another who was being taken away.
After a while, the news spread throughout the Sixth Palace, and it turned out to be the talented man Lu Pheasant.
There were sighs one after another in the Sixth Palace, the concubines were lamenting, and it was another dark time.
In Jingren Hall, Zhao Feiyan looked at the hollow silk skirt with frayed edges on the bed, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.
The maid Xiaolian asked cautiously from the side: "Mother, do you want to write a letter to your family and ask them to make another one and send it to you?"
Zhao Feiyan nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, let them deliver it as soon as possible."
"Yes, empress." Xiaolian responded and left.
In Zhongcui Hall, Xi Shi looked at Xing Chao going away and sighed quietly.
When she first came to the palace, she was very scared.
But when she thought that her mission was to save the people of Yue State, Xi Shi had to muster up her courage and look forward to His Majesty the Emperor's visit.
Growing up, the compliments from people around her gradually made Xi Shi know that she was beautiful.
Although Xi Shi doesn't know where her beauty lies.
But since everyone around him said so, in order to get her, King Wu Fu Chai also promised to spare the king's life, then it should be beautiful, right?
Xi Shi felt that if His Majesty the Emperor of Da Qian got her, would he be able to ask him to send troops to save Yue?
She thought that with her appearance and reputation, the emperor would definitely meet her.
But who would have expected that after entering the palace, the emperor would never pay attention to her again, as if he had forgotten that she existed.
Xi Shi should have been extremely anxious, because for every day of delay, the people of Yue would have to endure Wu's military attack for one more day.
But good news came in from outside the palace day after day, which made her overjoyed.
The imperial court has issued a decree to warn the Wu State, ordering them to withdraw their troops... The Wu Kingdom resisted the decree, and the imperial court has decided to send troops... The imperial court wants to send more troops...
It wasn't until yesterday that the news of the ten-guard imperial army in the southern suburbs swearing to fight came back to the palace, did Xi Shi feel completely relieved.
The imperial court sent troops, and the country of Yue was saved!
It's just that after achieving a huge goal, after relaxing, my heart will inevitably feel empty again, as if something is missing.
Over the past few days, Xi Shi has been getting along with other concubines in the Sixth Palace every day, and under their influence, Xi Shi has gradually accepted her own identity.
She is a member of the concubines of the Sixth Palace, and what do the concubines pursue?
Naturally, I want to get closer to His Majesty the Emperor.
If we go one step further, we will give birth to His Majesty's child...
Of course, it was too far to talk about these, but apart from these, Xi Shi found that there was really nothing else to do.
When she thought of this, she sighed quietly.
Xi Shi's maid came with her from Yue Kingdom, and she couldn't help but be extremely puzzled when she saw this.
"Your Majesty, didn't you say yesterday that the imperial army had already sworn off to fight? Our country has been saved, why are you still so depressed?"
Xi Shi looked at Xing Jia, who was almost a dot, and shook her head sadly.
Following her gaze, the little maid suddenly realized.
"It stands to reason that you are the most beautiful among the beautiful ladies."
She puffed up her cheeks with some dissatisfaction and felt sorry for Xi Shi: "But His Majesty never saw you once. Instead, he kept summoning those mediocre people..."
Xi Shi turned around, her skin was like flawless white jade, her nose was straight, her lips were pink, her eyes were black and bright, and every inch of her jade face was exquisite and perfect. It was a perfect masterpiece from God.
But at this moment, such a perfect face was filled with sadness, and he shook his head gently: "Don't say that, Your Majesty."
"Whether the skin is good or bad, maybe His Majesty doesn't care at all, maybe women have no meaning to him at all."
Xi Shi squeezed her dress tightly and guessed: "Your Majesty may only like women with interesting temperaments."
Before coming, the King of Yue had sent someone to teach her dancing, singing, and... techniques to seduce men.
Xishi still remembers that grandma told her that many times what men want is freshness. No matter how beautiful you are, you can't make men lose their freshness towards you.
But now when I entered the Daqian Palace, I saw the eldest grandson Wugou in front of me and Wu Meiniang behind me, both of whom had been favored by His Majesty the Emperor for so long.
Compared to the novelty from that nanny's words, Xi Shi felt that His Majesty seemed to be a person who valued emotions.
"ah?"
Xi Shi's little maid covered her mouth in shock, and then wanted to refute.
He's not a womanizer, but he still has two concubines accompanying him all day long? Could it be that he's accompanying him to review memorials?
But when the words reached his mouth, he suddenly stopped.
Yes, if Your Majesty is really a womanizer, why hasn't he summoned his wife? There is no one more beautiful than her in the Sixth Palace!
Could it be that His Majesty is really not a womanizer?
…
At the same time, the former dynasty, Ziwei Hall.
Li Qian, who was not a womanizer, held Wu Meiniang with his left hand and Lu Pheasant, who had just arrived, with his right hand. He was sitting on a chair and chatting and laughing with them.
"His Majesty."
Lu Zhi's fair face was pink, and he couldn't help but remind him softly, and pressed His Majesty the Emperor's big hand that seemed to have nowhere to rest.
There are three people here!
To Li Qian's right, Wu Meiniang's pretty face was also a little pink, but her eyes were always looking at Lu Fei vaguely.
Unlike Lu Zhi, who was completely ignorant, she had guessed from the first day she started reviewing the memorial that His Majesty would not let her do such a thing alone in the future.
There were two other prime ministers in the court who approved the memorial. How could he be the only concubine who helped the emperor read the memorial?
Moreover, after approving the three-day memorial, Wu Meiniang also realized her shortcomings.
There were many things she didn't know. Every time His Majesty the Emperor asked, she felt a little ashamed, worried, uneasy, and afraid that His Majesty would replace her.
However, Wu Meiniang breathed a sigh of relief after Lu Pheasant was summoned today.
Since His Majesty summoned both of them at the same time, no matter what happened to Lu Zhi, she would probably be able to stay.
But what makes Wu Meiniang curious is that the person His Majesty found is not Changsun Wuguo?
Is there anything special about this person named Lu Pheasant?
Wu Meiniang looked Lu Pheasant up and down again. The only thing that stood out was that it was bigger...
Other than that, I don't think she is very smart.
Could it be that the bigger there is, the smarter it is?
Wu Meiniang gently arched her head into Li Qian's arms and looked at him with raised eyebrows, a bit of searching in her eyes.
Li Qian smiled and lowered his head to whisper to her. Wu Meiniang was a little stunned at first, but then she nodded.
Afterwards, Li Qian straightened the two people in his arms, and then said to Lu Pheasant with a smile: "Have you missed me these days?"
Lu Zhi's face turned red, and Wu Meiniang on the other side made her very uncomfortable.
But she still mustered up the courage to reply: "Back to Your Majesty, I think about Your Majesty every day."
Li Qian smiled and nodded, indicating that she shouldn't be nervous: "Lu Aifei, I'm looking for you today because I want you to give me some advice."
"An idea?" Lu Zhi was a little confused.
Li Qian knew that this was very unexpected for her.
After all, Lu Pheasant only had an in-depth communication with her for one night. She was not the always favored grandson Wugou and Wu Meiniang.
"My beloved concubine, I have been reading memorials with Mei Niang these past few days. I know that you are talented, so I asked you to come up with some ideas."
"ah??"
Lu Feixiu opened her mouth and looked at Li Qian with wide eyes. She seemed confused for a moment and said incoherently: "Your Majesty...I am...I am...I am..."
This is a memorial!
Lu Pheasant didn't know how a woman from a commoner background could participate in such a national event.
So when Li Qiantong said to her: "I have decided, let you come up with the idea," she said that your Majesty should hire someone else. Lu Fei was indeed not being modest. After all, her family did not inherit poetry and calligraphy. He could only read the meaning of the scriptures roughly, but Li Qian said, "I have already studied and decided." Lu Pheasant had no choice but to read two lines of poetry...
Li Qian smiled and looked at Lu Zhi, who was anxious and agreed, and nodded lightly.
Lu Pheasant's reaction was as expected.
Except for Li Qian, no one, including Lu Fei himself, would know why Li Qian asked her to criticize the memorial.
But Li Qian knew that Lu Pheasant's character might darken in the future, but her ability to govern was uncertain.
It was recorded in the "Historical Records of the Empress Dowager Lu" in the previous life that during her reign, "the government did not go out of the house, and the world was in peace; punishments were rarely used, and the guilty were innocent; the people were engaged in farming, and food and clothing were used to cultivate crops." This is already a great affirmation. Already.
With two secretaries at his side, Li Qian opened the first memorial of the day.
This is the number of bad cases that have occurred in Longxi County since this month and the number that have been solved, reported by the official of the Longxi Qing Dynasty Bureau of the Ministry of Punishment.
Ah, very good.
Li Qian's pen was like a dragon and a snake, and he wrote the word "read" on it.
Now he no longer despises this seemingly useless memorial.
Two days ago, Li Qian saw a memorial, which was reported by Zhan Dafang, the governor of Jiangxia County. He said that there had been floods in the Yangtze River in recent days, and ten cannons parked on the shore were swallowed up. He reported losses. .
Li Qian didn't take it seriously at first, but when he was about to turn over it, he suddenly remembered several seemingly nonsense memorials he had seen before.
They were reported by Baling County and Qichun County respectively. The water boat has been parked at the ferry dock and has not yet set off.
One of these two places is in the upper reaches of Jiangxia, and the other is in the lower reaches of Jiangxia. There is nothing wrong with them. Why did the Yangtze River single out you for causing such trouble?
If you don’t investigate, who will?
So, Li Qian made a stroke of his pen.
Investigate strictly!
It was from this incident that Li Qian learned a lesson.
Sometimes I don’t know how to approve a memorial, not only because of lack of experience, but also because I don’t know enough information.
Therefore, Li Qian would always read carefully every memorial that he encountered that seemed like nonsense.
You don’t have to remember it completely, but at least you have to have an impression in your mind so that you can remember it when you encounter relevant memorials in the future.
After approving the word "read", Li Qian put the memorial aside and opened the next one.
This was reported by the governor of Xiangyang County, saying that there was a local widow who observed the festival for her husband and praised the local people.
Li Qian was speechless and continued to mark the word "read" on it, then put it aside and continued to read the next one.
However, every time he put down a memorial, Wu Meiniang would open it and read it carefully before putting it back again.
Lu Pheasant was still confused at first, but it wasn't until Wu Meiniang read two or three copies in a row that she realized the problem. She hurriedly flipped through them and memorized the contents carefully.
After reading several copies in succession, Li Qian finally came across a memorial that he didn't know how to correct or approve.
Just when he was about to discuss with Lu Pheasant and Wu Meiniang, the old eunuch guarding the political affairs hall suddenly came in.
"Your Majesty, your right prime minister Qin Hui would like to see you."
He also added: "The right prime minister also asked his subordinates to bring many memorials."
When Li Qian heard this, he became energetic.
He had long known that there was something wrong with the memorials approved a few days ago.
After all, both Li Qian and Wu Meiniang were half-assed, so how could they issue a very reasonable memorial all at once?
There were a lot of Zhu's criticisms there, and Li Qian knew there was something wrong, but he didn't know how to correct them.
He waited for Qin Hui and Yan Song for three days, and one finally came today!
With their corrections, Li Qian will be able to know what is appropriate and what is incorrect...
Li Gangang wanted to let Qin Hui in directly, but suddenly realized that there were two secretaries beside him.
Qin Hui cannot know this.
"Meiniang, Lu Pheasant, you go behind the door first and listen."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The two stood up and walked behind the door.
"Daban, tell him to come in!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." The old eunuch went out and soon led Qin Hui into the political hall.
After them, they were followed by two Toners each carrying a large box of documents.
"Your Majesty, Qin Hui, join us."
After Qin Hui came in, he saluted meticulously, and the two ministers behind him also hurriedly put down their memorials and saluted.
"Everyone is free of charge."
Although Li Qian had long been looking forward to Qin Hui's arrival, he still held up his pen and pretended to be surprised.
"Why is Prime Minister Qin here? Is there anything you want to report?"
Qin Hui raised his head and glanced at His Majesty the Emperor, who seemed to be carefully reviewing the memorial. He considered his words and spoke slowly:
"Returning to Your Majesty, it's just that some of the memorials from the past few days have been approved by His Majesty, and some of them are still somewhat controversial."
"Controversy?" Li Qian frowned.
Seeing his reaction, Qin Hui thought more carefully before replying: "Your Majesty, from the current point of view, looking at the overall situation of ancient and modern times, taking into account the current situation of various counties and vassal states, and making a comprehensive prediction, although some Zhu Pi may have Some counties and counties have achieved a temporary beneficial situation, but when taken into account nationwide, it may make the prospects of the imperial court more subtle. Some of the Zhu's batches may even cause controversy among some Beijing and local officials, and during the implementation process It will lead to consequences that are difficult to judge, which may in turn cause certain groups of officials to have misjudgments and doubts about the imperial court, thus exerting an unclear and highly probable downward trend on the overall situation in Daqian, and causing the imperial court and local governments to The situation that is still relatively stable now has subtle fluctuations in some directions..."
Li Qian tried hard to follow Qin Hui's train of thought, but as he listened, his eyes glazed over and his mind wandered.
"stop!!"
Li Qian patted the table and hurriedly stopped Qin Hui's curse.
"Prime Minister Qin, do you want to say that there are some mistakes in my Zhu's review?" Li Qian frowned and stared at him.
Qin Hui hesitated for a moment, trying to figure out the tone of Li Qian's words before replying: "Yes, Your Majesty."
Phew~
Li Qian breathed a sigh of relief and said to himself that no wonder the people below liked to write nonsense memorials so much. It turned out that there was someone taking the lead above.
"Prime Minister Qin, if there are any problems with the Zhu batches, bring them up to me for a look!"
After what he said, Li Qian didn't want to go through all the meanderings and got straight to the point.
The two housekeepers put the box on the ground in front of Li Qian's desk. Qin Hui picked up the first book in the box on the left and handed it to Li Qian.
"Your Majesty, it's like this one."
Qin Hui unfolded the yellow silk memorial and pointed it to Li Qian: "Your Majesty, please read this memorial. This is a memorial from Ma Jiyuan, the magistrate of Zhongmou County, Xingyang County. He said that the local Changping warehouse suffered losses from floods and requested the imperial court to allocate grain from elsewhere. them."
"And your Majesty agreed."
"Huh? Is there a problem with this?"
Li Gan looked at Qin Hui in confusion: "Isn't Xingyang a disaster-stricken area? Shouldn't food be allocated to them to help the victims?"
While Li Qian was speaking, Qin Hui had been looking at him seriously. He pondered for a moment before replying: "Your Majesty, based on some of the currently known, reliable and non-conflicting information..."
"Stop!" Li Qian hurriedly stopped Qin Hui's speech: "Prime Minister Qin, keep your words within twenty words!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qin Hui replied briefly: "The Changping Cang in Zhongmu is built so high that water cannot reach it."
"What?"
Li Qian was startled and looked at the memorial on the table: "In other words, the Zhongmou County Magistrate is deceiving me?"
He frowned: "This is deceiving the emperor. Isn't he afraid of being beheaded by me?"
Looking at Li Qian's expression, Qin Hui seemed to have gained something. He nodded slightly, and then said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid he is really not afraid."
"Why?" Li Qian frowned: "Is it possible that this guy's neck is harder than a guillotine?"
"Then I want to give it a try."
Qin Hui cupped his hands and replied: "Your Majesty, the cunning part of Ma Jiyuan is in the memorial. He only said that Changpingcang suffered losses, but did not report how much grain was lost."
"The loss of a warehouse is considered a loss, and the loss of a bucket is considered a loss, so he is not guilty of deceiving the emperor."
"And the need to allocate grain is even more reasonable. If a county suffers a disaster, where does it not need to allocate grain? But the allocation must also be prioritized. Zhongmu Changpingcang is still preserved, and the order should be after other counties."
"But your Majesty has approved this memorial to Ma Jiyuan. Even if he admits that Zhongmou has no grain, he must first allocate grain to Zhongmou for disaster relief."
"In this way, the grain that was originally in the Changping warehouse became Ma Jiyuan's bag."
"In the year of great disaster, food is the most expensive. With that food, he can make a lot of money..."
Halfway through his words, he heard a bang.
Li Qian looked gloomy and punched the table with his fist: "I will severely punish this corrupt official with such sinister intentions!"
Qin Hui observed Li Qian's appearance, but then he said: "According to Da Qian's law, your Majesty can only fine him one month's salary at most."
"After all, if we take it seriously, Ma Jiyuan can only say that the memorial was not detailed enough, and it is not an unforgivable mistake."
Li Qian understood that he didn't have enough power in his hands, so he could only talk about the law of Qian.
If he could keep his word in the court, Qin Hui would definitely not raise any serious issues with him.
But when he thought about not being able to deal with Ma Jiyuan, Li Qian felt sick all over!
This riding horse is too slippery!
Is it really possible to hit a pole with or without dates?
If you can fool him, you will get a warehouse of food. If you can't fool him, you will only lose one month's salary at most!
Just look at Ma Jiyuan's bad behavior. Does such a corrupt official rely on his salary to make a living?
This is just Ma Jiyuan, the magistrate of Zhongmou County. What about the others?
What about people with higher official positions?
Of course, Li Qian also knew that Qin Hui's statement was not necessarily true, but his words gave Li Qian a warning.
You must be more careful in the future, otherwise someone will be fooled by an oversight.
"Prime Minister Qin, please put the memorial here first. I will revise it later."
Li Qian sighed: "I didn't expect these people's filth to be hidden so deeply. If Prime Minister Qin hadn't reminded me, I would have been deceived by them."
You can't just listen to Qin Hui. It's best to ask others what is going on in Changpingcang in Zhongmu County.
Let's see if Ma Jiyuan has a criminal record and what his conduct is like...
When Qin Hui heard this, he frowned and hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty is kind and kind, and cares about the livelihood of the victims, so he was taken advantage of by villains with treacherous minds."
Li Qian said with emotion: "I am far less talented than Huang Kao and other emperors. Only today do I know that important ministers like Prime Minister Qin are really important to me."
"I am just doing some trivial auxiliary work."
A trace of emotion flashed in Qin Hui's eyes, and he continued: "The fact that Daqian is in such a prosperous situation now depends entirely on His Majesty's kindness."
Just as Li Gan was about to continue speaking, he seemed to notice something again and slapped his thigh: "I have been talking to Prime Minister Qin for so long, but I have even forgotten to give him a seat!"
"Come on! Give Prime Minister Qin a seat quickly."
The old eunuch hurriedly moved a chair to Qin Hui and asked him to sit down in front of Li Qian's table.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Qin Hui replied, then he picked up the second memorial from the box on the left and put it on the table.
Only the Right Prime Minister himself knows that the order in which these memorials are placed is particular.
If His Majesty the Emperor has another reaction, such as being frustrated and depressed, he will take out the first memorial in the box on the right.
But now His Majesty not only has not been hit, but wants to have a good fight with those people, so Qin Hui has to take the second memorial on the left.
"Your Majesty, please look at this. This is a memorial from the Prime Minister of Xicheng County. Your Majesty's comments are really refreshing to me. I have never seen such a wild and unconstrained idea. However, there is another word here that may cause misunderstanding..."
Qin Hui took out the memorials for Li Qian one after another and helped him explain the problems in them.
Li Qian, on the other hand, took a pen and wrote down everything on the paper, but even if Qin Hui was embarrassed and kept looking over there, he did not correct his Zhu corrections on the spot.
The two talked all morning, and at noon, there was only half of the memorial left in the box on the right, so Li Qian left Qin Hui in the political hall and gave him lunch.
At the same time, Li Qian also took the opportunity to solve three urgent problems and found Wu Meiniang and Lu Pheasant who had been waiting behind the side door.
After arriving in this room, looking at Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi sitting behind the table, Li Qian felt that the atmosphere here was a bit strange for some reason, and he didn't know what happened between the two of them during his absence...
Seeing Li Qian come in, Wu Meiniang stood up quickly, handed over some rice paper and said softly: "Your Majesty, if Your Majesty discussed the memorial with Prime Minister Qin, I and Sister Lu have already written it down for Your Majesty."
Lv Zhiyu also had a sweet smile on her face: "Your Majesty, these are the words of Prime Minister Qin that I remember, and what Sister Wu remembers are the words of His Majesty."
Li Qian was speechless. In just one morning, two women who had never met before actually called themselves sisters.
But he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the atmosphere between the two was not normal...
Li Qian took the things he remembered from the two of them and looked through them, feeling a little surprised.
Although he remembered part of it, the two people remembered it in much more detail than he did.
"My two beloved concubines really understand my feelings."
Since the two secretaries are so capable, Li Qian will naturally give them some rewards.
He kissed both of them on their cheeks, then noticed something was wrong and frowned: "Are you two concubines still hungry? Those palace servants below actually don't bring you meals?"
Wu Meiniang hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, I don't blame those people. I and Sister Lu have been helping your Majesty remember what you said today, so I didn't let them send it away."
Li Qian nodded: "I will ask my companion to make arrangements and bring you food as soon as possible. Don't go hungry."
"I would like to thank Your Majesty."
A flash of red suddenly appeared on Wu Meiniang's pretty face, as if she mustered up great courage, she stood up on her tiptoes and pecked the left side of Li Qian's face gently.
Li Qian was startled, and then looked at Wu Meiniang in a daze.
Good guy, Mei Niang has become a lot more courageous since last night!
Unexpectedly, when he was looking at Wu Meiniang, he was suddenly kissed gently on the right side of his face.
Someone attacked...no, it was a sneak attack.
Li Qian hurriedly turned around and saw that Lu Pheasant's pretty face was as red as a ripe shrimp, and his pair of bright black eyes were looking straight at a clean porcelain vase in the room, as if he had just made such a move The person is not like her.
For some reason, Li Qian felt that this scene was extremely fragrant and at the same time, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little more solemn.
"Two beloved concubines, have a good meal. I will go out and chat with Prime Minister Qin for a while. It will be useless. I will start talking about the memorial later."
After Li Qian finished speaking, he left directly, leaving space for the two of them.
When they arrived at the main hall, Qin Hui had already finished eating and was sitting respectfully.
Li Qian came to the main seat with a smile. Qin Hui was about to get him a memorial when Li Qian reached out and stopped him.
With a bit of helplessness on his face, he lay down on the chair and said: "Prime Minister Qin, after reading so many memorials this morning, I feel that the government of the country is too corrupt."
"Corrupt officials are everywhere, and the people are suffering deeply from them."
Li Qian asked with emotion: "From the perspective of Prime Minister Qin, is there any way to put an end to these corrupt officials?"
Apart from the memorial, he really didn't know what to say to Qin Hui, and Li Qian was too lazy to chat with him about family affairs, so he might as well just chat for a while.
Qin Hui was startled when he heard this. It was really difficult to understand His Majesty the Emperor's thoughts. He really didn't expect His Majesty the Emperor would ask such a question.
But when I think about it carefully, I think it's normal.
His Majesty the Emperor had just ascended the throne and was still young and vigorous. At this time, he suddenly saw so many scandals buried deep in the officialdom. It is not surprising that he felt emotional.
After understanding the motives of His Majesty the Emperor, Qin Hui thought for a moment and replied: "Your Majesty, I think we should use more capable ministers and officials to rectify this chaos, and supplement it with education. If you do this, in the long run, I will Then we will understand His Majesty's benevolent heart, and we should be loyal to you and serve our country..."
Li Qian dismissed such innocuous nonsense as fart, but he still got the message from it.
"I see……"
Li Gan nodded thoughtfully, and then looked at Qin Hui: "Then does Mr. Qin think that any minister in the court can be regarded as a capable minister and official who can rectify the current corrupt officialdom?"
Qin Hui perked up and was about to name a few people, but suddenly stopped.
Because he felt something was wrong.
Qin Hui glanced at His Majesty the Emperor's expression. Could this be a hole he dug?
"What's wrong? Prime Minister Qin?"
Li Qian looked serious and swore that he really had no intention of fishing.
At most, he just wrote down the people Qin Hui talked about in a small notebook.
Moreover, Li Qian actually knew the names of several of Qin Hui's party members, such as Wang Ciweng, Qin Xi...
When I asked this question, I actually had the idea of making a difference if there were dates or not.
What if I ask something interesting?
However, now that he saw Qin Hui's reaction, Li Qian realized that his plan might have been guessed.
Qin Hui thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I thought that Ouyang Bijin, the official who advised you on the left, is smart and upright, and is worthy of a big job. Han Mulu, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is prudent and handles things properly. In addition... "
Qin Hui recommended several people in succession. Li Qian wrote down the names of these people one by one on the paper, dried the ink, and said with a comfortable smile on his face: "I will remember it, and I will discuss it with Prime Minister Yan and the Qing family another day. , reuse these people!”
The people he recommended are very interesting. Ouyang Bijin, the Zuo Jianyi doctor, is the Jianyi doctor from Menxia Province and is a subordinate of Yan Song.
What's more coincidental is that Yan Song's only married wife seems to be named Ouyang, and Ouyang Bijin is Yan Song's brother-in-law.
In addition, if Li Qian remembers correctly, Han Mulu, the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is Cai Jing's eldest brother-in-law...
They are all talented people, Li Qianchao likes them all.
Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor put away the list with satisfaction, Mr. Qin suddenly had doubts about his own ideas.
Does His Majesty really want to reuse these people?
"Let's continue reading the memorial!"
Li Qian didn't give him any time to think anymore. Qin Hui hurriedly took out the memorial below and placed it in front of Li Qian.
The afternoon sun was blazing, but it was extremely cool and comfortable in the political hall.
Li Qian had gradually developed the habit of taking a nap recently. Whenever this happened, his energy began to feel drowsy. When he followed Qin Hui to read the memorial, he yawned several times in a row.
"Your Majesty, why don't you take a break?"
Qin Hui asked tentatively: "I can just wait here."
The drowsy Li Qian came to his senses and supported his chin with his hand: "No!"
"The imperial court report is an important matter, I cannot slack off!"
"Your Majesty is so diligent and self-disciplined that I bow to you."
Qin Hui flattered Li Qian, and then continued to take out the memorials from the box and pointed them out to Li Qian one by one, where there was any problem.
Li Qian, on the other hand, wrote mechanically on the paper, but his handwriting was so messy that he could hardly read it.
Qin Hui saw all this and turned to the last few copies of the memorial.
He picked up one and said seriously: "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Zhan Dafang, the governor of Jiangxia County, regarding the capsizing of the canal boat."
"This incident was actually a misunderstanding. After the canal boat capsized, there were strong winds and waves, and the grain that fell into the water disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"But a few days later, the grain was found on another bank. It turned out that the river had washed boxes of grain back to the shore."
The sun shone into the political hall from the window, and Qin Hui said with a smile on his face: "The governor of Jiangxia has sent people to Beijing and handed over another memorial to explain the misunderstanding."
"The loss of the grain that fell into the water is not much, but it cannot be stored for a long time after being soaked in water. We can no longer wait for the Caohe River to be opened. The governor of Jiangxia has dried the grain and distributed it to the local people in exchange for new grain from the people, and reused it as grain. The ship’s gone.”
"In this way, relying on His Majesty's holy virtue and the mutual inspiration from heaven, the river water rushed back the grain, the water transportation was not delayed, and the people did not suffer any loss. This crisis was completely resolved invisibly."
