System, help me be an empress

Chapter 33 My First Morning Courtship

Zhou Yuxue was terrified, knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, forgive me. You don't know, since the Supreme Emperor ascended the throne, he has favored Feng Zhi very much. Although Feng Zhi is only the great eunuch of Dongchang in name, in fact he has great power. When the momentum is at its peak, the entire supervisor of ceremonies has to listen to him."

Feng Zhi.

The first time Xu Youxi saw this name was in a letter sent to her by Meng Zhiqian, which said that Feng Zhi, an eunuch, relied on the trust of Emperor Sheng Yuan, deceived his superiors, fabricated facts, and single-handedly promoted Emperor Sheng Yuan's insistence on imperial conquest.

However, Feng Zhi ended badly.

After the defeat of the frontier fortress, the people did not dare to blame the emperor Xu Shengshi, so they aimed their hatred at him. In the end, Feng Zhi was hacked to death by soldiers on the battlefield. .

Yes, Feng Zhi is dead.

Regardless of whether this matter has much to do with Feng Zhi, anyway, this person who is responsible for the blame must not be able to speak.

Xu Youxi stared at Zhou Yuxue with an inexplicable expression for a long time. It was obviously a winter night, but beads of sweat on Zhou Yuxue's forehead kept rolling down. His Majesty's eyes.

At this moment, Zhou Yuxue thought a lot. If he was lucky, at most he would not be the palm print in the future. He only prayed that His Majesty would remember him a little bit and spare his life.

"Get up and wipe off the sweat. What did I say to you, you're so scared." Xu Youxi snorted, picked up the next memorial at hand, and after a quick glance, handed it to Zhou Yuxue, who was still in shock, "Read Read what this memorial is talking about."

Zhou Huixue took the memorial carefully with both hands, looked at it, and then tentatively said after a long time: "Your Majesty, this memorial was presented by Dong Gongxia, the magistrate of Jiangnan, and the content is to praise the merits of all Jiangnan Shikun."

"What does Eunuch Zhou think of the writing?"

Zhou Huixue quickly recalled Dong Gongxia's character, and what kind of answer Xu Youxi hoped to get from him, and after careful consideration: "Dong Zhifu's literary talent is elegant, and the writing is smooth, very... wonderful."

"Prefect Dong took three pages to write the memorial, and you can sum it up in a few words, so what's the point of his long writing?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhou Huixue quickly agreed, although he still didn't understand what Xu Youxi wanted to express.

Xu Youxi took the memorial out of Zhou Yuxue's hands, and threw it into the 'return and rewrite': "Return the memorial and let him correct it for me. There are hundreds of officials in the imperial court, and I rely on me alone to slow down every memorial. Take a look, the content is still all this kind of nonsense, so I won't do other things."

"From today onwards, the number of words in the memorial is strictly limited, and only the main points can be written. All long-winded essays will be returned and rewritten. If a memorial is returned twice in a row, but it is still intact, then the third time will still be submitted." Xu Youxi Turning his head to look at the pile of memorials on his desk, wishing to throw them all away, and afraid of missing something important, sighed, gritted his teeth and continued to approve.

I saw more and more memorials in the two tubes of "return and rewrite" and "garbage", but the "immediate processing" was only three or two.

I don't know how much time passed, the sky outside the imperial study room turned from light ink to pitch black, and then light was cut from the pitch black.

Zhou Hui also reminded Xu Youxi several times in the middle of the study that it was getting late and His Majesty should take care of the dragon body, but Xu Youxi didn't pay much attention.

Anyway, it will be morning in a few hours, Xu Youxi reckons that even if he sleeps now, getting up early will definitely be more painful, so he might as well stay overnight.

"Okay, change clothes, go to court." Xu Youxi threw away the memorial at hand and rubbed the center of his brows.

It turns out that being a faint king is still very fragrant.

Hall of Supreme Harmony.

This was Xu Youxi's first time sitting on the dragon chair in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. She didn't know exactly how many people were standing inside and outside the hall, and she didn't have the energy to check it out.

At the beginning of the early court, Xu Youxi ordered Meng Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of War, to first report to all officials the progress of the training and the latest situation of the Oirat cavalry. Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple, etc.

This trip is not only a work report, but also the officials hope to take this opportunity to show their faces in front of the new emperor.

Xu Youxi's head was buzzing, and the content was half heard and half missed.

When the officials reported that it was almost done, Xu Youxi asked the eunuch to move all the three barrels in the study to the main hall.

"I stayed up all night last night. I only read these memorials, which was not even one-tenth of the total. I didn't read the old memorials, and I added new ones. I feel that I have no skills at all. Can all my lovers find a way to solve my troubles?" thing?"

"Your Majesty is diligent! The matter of approving the memorial can be discussed by the cabinet first, and the priority should be given before submitting the important memorial to Your Majesty." Immediately, officials came up to flatter.

"The memorial I'm reading now has already been screened by the cabinet."

"This……"

"Forget it, does anyone else have a good plan?"

After Xu Youxi finished speaking, the court was silent.

"Since all my lovers have no good plan, then do as I say. From now on, the number of words in the memorial is strictly limited, and the content only needs to write clearly about the characters and events, and the solution you think of this matter. The sticker on the cover of the memorial is marked, Whether the matter you are appealing needs to be handled by me personally, or the cabinet can handle it privately. However, if the name needs to be handled by me personally, the cabinet cannot make decisions without authorization. If there is any concealment and failure to report, you will bear the consequences."

"The memorials that I reviewed last night, but those that are sent back today, will be rewritten and submitted to the Rites Supervisor for inspection. If they fail to pass, they will be revised again. Mr. Zhou will hand over this matter to you for supervision. Some of the memorials that need to be dealt with urgently, I will The review has been sent to the cabinet, and it will be dealt with within three days. As for the remaining memorials... I have thrown them away, and all my lovers have also taken this as a warning. Don't write anything that has no content, so as not to lose your value. "

Xu Youxi finished speaking quickly, although there were some trivial discussions below, she didn't care about it.

"Is Lin Hong, Minister of Dali Temple, here?"

"The minister is here."

"Fu Youxing, the censor of Zuoqian capital, impeached you for accepting bribes privately and wronged Zhongliang, is there such a thing?"

When Lin Hong heard His Majesty's sudden remark, he couldn't stand up immediately, knelt down on his knees, and cried out with snot and tears: "You are wronged, Your Majesty, I always act according to the rules, how can I have the courage to do things like accepting bribes?" Things, let alone wronged Zhongliang."

Although Xu Youxi lived in the feudal dynasty for more than ten years, it may be because he stayed in the south of the Yangtze River for a longer period of time, so the concept of "the supremacy of the monarchy" is not so deeply ingrained.At this time, I suddenly saw a third-rank official, kneeling as soon as he said it, and crying as soon as he said it, which was still very unaccustomed.

"Your Majesty is well aware." Fu Youxing, the censor of Zuoqian capital, took the initiative to stand up, "Lin Hong is flattering and flattering. He colluded with Feng Zhi, the former eunuch of the East Factory, and framed several Zhongliang and Zhongliang during his tenure. Now, the minister of the Ministry of officials, Su Huaihe, Li Shangyun, the royal censor of Youqin Capital, and many other good people are still being imprisoned in the dungeon of Dali Temple, please make decisions for them, Your Majesty!"
