Li Zheng threw a memorial on the dragon table and glanced at the civil and military officials below: "Du Aiqing, Minister of the Ministry of Personnel!"
Du Chenghao, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, lined up from the front holding the imperial hut: "I am here!"
"More than three months have passed since the examination hosted by the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Due to the suspension of all rituals and music on the anniversary of the death of the late emperor, the three months have expired. The Ministry of Civil Affairs has drafted a charter and submitted it to the left prime minister. After the review, I will give my personal approval."
"I obey the decree!"
"The Imperial Examination is no trivial matter. Although I set the questions myself, there are still some opportunistic people. The Ministry of Officials must strictly examine the identity of the imperial examination candidates."
"I obey the decree."
"As for Hui Yuan, who is the top candidate in the examination, I will handle it personally. You don't need to review it. After all, he is the top candidate in the examination, and he is probably a very good person among people. I also want to have a chat with this future love.
"
"This" Du Chenghao hesitated for a moment and then nodded: "I obey your order."
Although he did not violate the emperor's will, Du Chenghao was still a little reluctant. He had long planned to accept Hu Jun as his disciple, but I don't know what the emperor thought about handling Huiyuan's affairs personally.
In this way, Hu Jun would not have any close relationship with the officials, which would be a big loss.
Sighing quietly, Du Chenghao retreated to his seat.
Li Zheng glanced at Du Chenghao gently and looked at Jiang Yuanming, the Minister of Household Affairs!
"Jiang Aiqing, Minister of Household Affairs."
"I'm here!"
"So far, how many merchants have gone to the Ministry of Household Affairs to register and issue customs clearance documents?"
"Reporting to your Majesty, as of yesterday, there have been 30,000 large and small merchants who have issued customs clearance documents, and 6,000 large merchants. The remaining small merchants and retail investors are still there in a steady stream."
"According to my decree, the officials of the Du Branch under the Ministry of Household Affairs of Dalong Prefecture are not allowed to create clever names and ask for kickbacks to line their own pockets. The tax amount cannot be changed without authorization. As long as the merchants who obtain the customs clearance documents through the Ministry of Household Affairs are allowed to trade outside the customs unimpeded, they cannot be allowed to do so.
A mouse dropping spoils a pot of porridge. I opened a business with the purpose of enriching the people and the principle of letting the people live and work in peace and contentment. I don’t ask for big fish and meat for every household, but strive to have food and clothing without worries!"
"Your Majesty is wise and I obey your decree. After you retire from the court, you will immediately draw up a charter and issue it to all officials under the household bureau of each prefecture in Dalong!"
"That's right!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"The Ministry of War, the Ministry of Industry, how are the selection of soldiers to defend the mutual trade and the progress of supervising the construction of the border trade!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are a total of 13,000 troops at the border crossing, and they have been assembled and on standby."
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the border trade market allocated by the Ministry of Household Affairs and supervised by the Ministry of Works is in full swing. It will be completed in about twenty days. If there is heavy rain and sandstorms, it will be completed in no more than one month at the latest."
"Okay, everything is ready. All I need is Dongfeng. Dear ladies, do you still have any memorials? If not, you can go down and prepare."
"Report to your majesty that I have a report!"
"Oh? Wang Aiqing of Honglu Temple, it's accurate!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin sent a letter saying that the full power to supervise the construction of the border trade was given to a commander named Wanyang of the Kingdom of Jin. However, the commander of Wanyang named Mr. Liu, a member of the Ministry of Household Affairs, to go to Shanhaiguan to supervise the construction together. Wan Yang
Yang Yan said that the person who made the envoy to discuss border trade was Mr. Liu, and he could not trust anyone else!"
Li Zheng frowned slightly: "Does Wan Aiqing have the detailed identity of Commander Wan Yang?"
"I don't know. According to the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin, Commander Wan Yang is waiting for Master Liu's reply. As long as Master Liu agrees, he will immediately go to Shanhaiguan to meet him!"
"My dear friends, does anyone know the identity of Commander Wan?"
"Reporting to your majesty, I, Qi Run and Mr. Zhao of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, have dealt with this Commander Wan!"
"Oh, what does Qi Aiqing think of this person?"
"Excellent intelligence and unfathomable strategies."
"Reporting to your majesty, Zhao Fengshou seconded the proposal. This person is proficient in calculations and is definitely hard to compete with. This person was the commander in chief during the battle of scholars. This time, this person asked Lord Liu to go to Shanhaiguan by name. I'm afraid
What a far-reaching plot!"
Li Zheng pondered for a while: "Liu Aiqing, what do you think?"
Young Master Liu, who always responded to questions, turned out to be silent!
"Liu Aiqing!"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Liu is not at the court meeting today!"
Qi Run had no choice but to step forward and answer the emperor's questions for Young Master Liu.
I was also a little confused, why was Liu Mingzhi, who was never absent from work, absent from work today?
"Aren't you there? Tomorrow is the day for Xiu Mu. Could it be that our hard-working Master Liu has remembered the wrong day?"
Li Zheng teased him lightly.
Except for a few people who had gloomy faces, all the civil and military officials burst out laughing when they heard this.
He also knew that the emperor was in a good mood, so he actually made a joke.
"Since Liu Aiqing is not here, let's wait until Liu Aiqing arrives before talking about this matter. What else do you have to report?"
"Report to His Majesty, Du Chenghao!"
"Chen Ye is enlightened!"
"Your Majesty Qin Ziying!"
"Chen Sun Wenhan"
"I have a book to play!"
Li Zheng looked at the three ministers and two ministers who came together in surprise: "What are you, dear ministers? Could it be that you have encountered a case involving the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites?"
Du Chenghao and others looked at each other and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I want to sue Liu Mingzhi, a member of the Tongyuan Bohu Department, and Zhu Run, the Marquis of Guan Nei. He has no law and commits crimes in public. He beat our children so seriously that they will never recover!"
Li Zheng looked at the several court officials kneeling on the ground in surprise, and even the civil and military officials stopped to watch the show.
"My dear friends, are you saying that you want to sue Liu Aiqing?"
"That's right, your majesty, please ask your aides to make the decision. The child is beyond recognition and is wailing on the bed. It's all because of the murders committed by Master Liu and the Marquis of Guannei."
"Your Majesty, my second son is not much better than Master Du's son. He has trouble walking!"
"Your Majesty, my son is paralyzed in bed now, and his injuries are even more serious!"
"Me too"
"Your Majesty, please make the decision and give me justice. The two Marquises of Tongyuan Bo Guan Nei are so arrogant and have no regard for the king's law. They are really bullying others. They commit murders in the street. Do they still have the majesty of Dalong Law and Your Majesty in their eyes?"
Li Zheng frowned and looked at Du Chenghao and others who were complaining, but still couldn't believe that Liu Mingzhi would do such a thing.
It's not because Liu Dashao is a good character, but because this guy is a man with a weak kidney. Li Zheng, the playboy among Du Yu and others, has naturally heard about it. It's hard to say who will suffer from the confrontation between the two parties.
Only then did Li Zheng understand why Liu Mingzhi did not go to court. In all likelihood, something happened that he didn't know about.
Looking at Du Chenghao, who was wailing but not shedding tears, Li Zheng and the others said softly: "Zhou Fei, I went to tell Uncle Tong Yuan to come to the palace to see him, but before he could go to court, he even got a few copies. I'll see how he explains to me!"
"
Zhou Fei walked down the steps: "Old slave obey"
"Your Majesty, make the decision for me. I can't live anymore. I'm about to be beaten to death. Your Majesty, my life is miserable!"
Before he could finish his words, the general manager Zhou Fei let out a shrill howl, breaking the silence of the Golden Palace.
The sound was so miserable that it made people cry.
As soon as he finished speaking, Young Master Liu and Zhu Run were carried into the Jinluan Palace on planks by several guards.
Li Zheng was sitting high on the dragon's throne. When he saw Young Master Liu's appearance, he couldn't close his mouth in astonishment: "Who is this?"
"Your Majesty, I am rude to you, Liu Mingzhi. Please forgive me for the inconvenience. I cannot salute His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, Zhu Run, also asks for your forgiveness!"
"Liu Aiqing? Marquis of Guannai?"
Li Zheng's brows were knitted tightly together, why didn't he miss Liu Mingzhi when he looked at the mummy in front of him.
All the civil and military officials looked back and were stunned.
Especially when Du Chenghao and the others just cried out and avenged themselves, no one could help but swallow their saliva. This was different from what his son said.
