Chapter 280 Above the court

In the political hall, all civil and military officials entered one after another.

Huang Laosi is wearing a dragon robe and a jade crown, sitting on the dragon chair.

In previous dynasties, when the emperor started his dynasty, all the officials entered the palace first, then bowed their heads and saluted. The emperor then slowly entered the palace and sat on the dragon chair like a great man. No matter what time it was, the emperor would not wait for his ministers to say this, and the etiquette and laws were inconsistent.

However, Huang Laosi was not a rule-abiding person. Sometimes he would come early and go directly to the political hall to sit, approve memorials, and wait for the ministers to enter the hall and start the court.

Sun Anshui, the eunuch's close servant, counted a few words before shouting "open the court" at the top of his voice.

First, the six departments, officials, households, rituals, soldiers, punishments, and workers spoke, but the minister remained silent, and the right minister came out to speak in turn.

Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, was the first to go out, and the situation was very good. The officials in the court were very nice, praised by the people, and had impeccable morals. Especially the students who ranked first in the imperial examination last year had already entered the six ministries and nine temples to observe the government. Although they were serving tea, running errands, and flattering, they were

At this stage, we are constantly accumulating experience and integrating it into our work. Everyone enjoys it. One word, good, two words, extremely good, three words, really good!

The left minister of the Ministry of Revenue has not returned to Beijing. The right minister Qiu Wanshan spoke on his behalf. Lao Qiu opened his mouth with clichés. Under the leadership of the wise and powerful Huang Laosi, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue rolled up their sleeves and worked hard. They clarified the national taxation, which was better than last year.

It's 30% less than last year. Don't be angry. Logically speaking, it should be 40% less than last year. Let's think about it from another angle. That means you don't have to get angry. You are great, Emperor. Of course, Emperor.

If you take the time to kill a certain official, Zuo Shilang, your tax revenue may turn into a profit next year.

Li Wenli, the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, is out of work again. Emperor, this bastard is talking about me. How about criticizing mulberry trees and scolding huai trees? This day will never end. You must give me justice...

Before he finished speaking, Lao Qiu went off to work again. You look like a fair-minded person, but you are a national thief, a moth, a shameless person, Lao Pahui, Ri Nen Niang, you piece of shit bastard...

Before I finished speaking, Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out. You two should stop arguing for now. We haven’t understood the six-part report yet. Let’s finish talking first. Is it ok or not?

Qiu Wanshan returned to the class, what the hell.

Li Wenli, who was too lazy to accompany Qiu Wanshan to embarrass himself, also said k.

Zhou Youwei, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, cleared his throat, "Emperor, the imperial examination is about to take place again, and our Rites Department is busy again, but don't worry, our Rites Department is united and insists on following the fourth brother. We will go all the way to the dark side, and we must rely on you to get things done."

Pu, you can rest assured, and by the way, Qiu Wanshan is a bastard, he knows how to call the superiors every day, and the subordinates think that Mr. Li Wenli is a good person, but Qiu Wanshan is not a good person.

Qiu Wanshan is out of work, everyone, come and see, Zhou Youwei is Li Wenli’s dog, Xiao Zhou, bark twice quickly, woof woof woof.

The Minister of War, Zuo Shilang, who was supposed to be on duty, was a general himself. Every one of the people in the War Department was a master who watched the excitement without taking it too seriously. They just watched the excitement without saying a word.

As for the Punishment Department, it's not their turn and it's hard to interrupt.

Not to mention the Ministry of Industry, the left minister Chu Wensheng left the capital, the right minister Guang Haishang went to the funeral, and the minister Liu Xun did not come to the court. The Ministry of Works is studying how to provide disaster relief. It has been researching for almost a month.

At the center of a country, in the Yizheng Palace, Qiu Wanshan was one to two. After burying Li Wenli, he would bury Zhou Youwei. After burying Zhou Youwei, he would then bury Li Wenli without losing the slightest bit.

Huang Laosi watched the bustle of half a stick of incense, as if his reflex arc was in the wrong place. He slapped the desk and shut up all of them. How unseemly is it to make noises every day? No matter how loud you are, I will let Sun

An will give each of you three a knife and go out to make a noise.

After both sides ceased fighting, Zuo Shilang of the Punishment Department came out and forced Lai Lai to death, saying that although there were many refugees outside the city, the public security in the city was very good, and it had nothing to do with Jingzhao Mansion. The main reason was that the Punishment Department managed it well.

No one from the Ministry of Works spoke up. The Sixth Ministry had finished its work, and the people from the Nine Temples were just making up the numbers. Unless there was a special period or they took the initiative to do something, it would not be their turn. In the end, the ministers started to talk to each other about business. The most disturbing thing recently

They are just refugees, but don’t worry, fourth brother, we ministers have all shared the burden for you. There are tens of thousands of refugees at least in these waves. Guess what, we almost bought them all, or at least half of them.

, gave them food and drink, and gave them land to grow. Although we may have sent them to our hometown far, far away, and they had to make a trip, we did our best.

A few more courtiers jumped out, "Oh, Fourth Brother, our love for the people can be seen from time to time. When the refugees first arrived, we bought them at full price. It cost several hundred coins to buy a refugee. Others

I bought them all when they were on sale, so I got a bargain. Sometimes I could buy a big one for only 100 cents. If I went early, I could buy one and get one free. If I bought a big one, I would get a small one.

Huang Laosi's face is hidden under the jade crown, and there is no trace of emotion or anger. He looks like a large figure without emotion.

When Li Wenli mentioned the matter of refugees, his eyes glanced at Zhou Youwei. Zhou Youwei turned his head again, and his eyes met in the air with several familiar ministers. This guy was out of work again.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

Huang Laosi nodded slightly, and Sun An shouted at the top of his lungs: "Yan."

"Originally, this matter is not a matter for the Ministry of Rites, but it is an eyesore. After learning about it, I mentioned it in the palace." Zhou Youwei glanced at Sun An slightly and continued: "Yesterday, Deputy Qianqiying

The commander seized more than 20 Jingzhong Grain Stores."

Zhou Youwei didn't dare to mention King Langya, he only talked about Qianqi Camp.

Huang Laosi frowned when he heard this. This was the first time he heard about this.

After Changxian returned to the palace last night, he went straight to the East Palace to share his experience with his elder brother. He did not report to Huang Laosi. Tong Gui stayed out all night because he had to distribute rice and food outside the city, and Chen Yan went to Xiao County, so

No one mentioned this matter to Huang Laosi at all.

"Why the seizure?"

"It's... it's because the price of rice is too high." Zhou Youwei had already prepared a draft and said tentatively: "Qianqiying is not under the jurisdiction of the six ministries. As for the errands and ministers, they have never been clear about this.

I just asked Your Majesty, is the rice grain sold by merchants under the control of the Qianqi Camp in the capital?"

That's the thing. Everyone knows that Qianqiying is the emperor's personal army and is only responsible to the emperor. As the emperor's lackey, Qianqiying can do whatever he wants. But you know, you can't say that. The country has its own laws.

, the courtiers cannot say this, and the emperor cannot say this either.

So what Zhou Youwei meant was, isn't the main job of these scoundrels monitoring us? Why do they control food prices?

Huang Laosi looked at Zhou Youwei coldly.

Qianqiying can do whatever they want, and it has nothing to do with you.

Although he thought so, he couldn't say the same. Huang Laosi looked at Sun An, who shook his head and said that he didn't know what was going on.

Huang Laosi is not stupid. He doesn't understand the cause and effect, so he will definitely not speak easily. However, he can also see that Zhou Youwei is just a "representative" and many ministers want to ask about this matter.

"Your Majesty, I, Ma Rui of the Jingzhao Mansion, have something to report. I know the inside story about Qianqi Camp."

After finishing these words, my beloved Ma Rui, the number one scapegoat in Beijing who rarely went to court, left his job.
