The rise of the prince

Chapter 91 Wang Yue's Memorial

Looking carefully at the dossier in his hand, He Zhao frowned more and more. The Empress Dowager's 10th birthday was approaching, and the birthday presents from officials from all over the south had already boarded the ship, and in a few days it would go directly to Kaiyuan by water.These birthday gifts are worth a total of [-] taels. This is a big matter. To prevent accidents, the Kaiyuan Mansion will need to work together and mobilize government officials to ensure that these gifts will arrive at the palace without incident.

He Zhao looked at the documents sent by the Ministry of Rites and the Inner Court and sighed, how could he not know the way.

According to the legal system of the imperial court, a county magistrate's annual salary is only 10,000 guan, which is more than a thousand dollars. It is a huge fortune for ordinary people, but how many people will feel at ease with this?There are only a few counties in the southern states, and they managed to collect [-]+ pennies just for birthday gifts!He wouldn't believe it at all if there was no black money that was corrupt and perverted to exploit the blood and sweat of the people!
But this is the Empress Dowager's birthday, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for all officials to please the royal family. Although the old man Wang Yue is hateful, he is the only one who dares to speak out to the emperor. He is not in the court, and no one dares to speak out about this matter.

Even the Deputy Prime Minister Yu Cheng'an, who in his eyes was decent, didn't dare to mention it.He Zhao was only the Governor of Kaiyuan, and was not worthy compared with Wang Yue and Yu Chengan, so he didn't dare to play directly in the court hall. If he spoke out in front of the officials, he would be forcing the emperor!
However, Ruo Ruo sat idly by and felt uncomfortable, so he also wrote a memorial and submitted it privately, expressing the darkness in it, and reprimanding the southern officials. Unfortunately, a few days have passed, and there is no news at all.

It seems that Wang Yue is not troubled by this matter, he just suffers from the people in the south, and the 10,000+ people are all people's fat and people's anointing!
After thinking about it, he had no choice but to put down the Chinese book in his hand and picked up another volume. After reading it, it was another troublesome thing, the year-end notice and public security matters.

After thinking about it, he felt that what Li Xingzhou said was reasonable, but he couldn't feel angry. When he thought about the plum garden, he thought that Qian'er would meet him in private behind his back, and then thought of his daughter who had returned from the plum garden in the past few days. It became even weirder, every day An An didn't say anything, and even started to wear skirts and put on rouge. He looked anxious and angry, wondering if his daughter was given some kind of ecstasy by that dude!

His anger returned to his anger, and he was helpless. What Li Xingzhou said had a profound meaning, and when he thought about it carefully, the meaning was far-reaching, and he actually deeply examined human nature and people's hearts.There was no one left or right, and after cursing the little thief, he still wrote Li Xingzhou's suggestion in the instructions.

The list of criminals is no longer posted to inform the people, but a new announcement is drawn up: Kaifeng Mansion has been prosperous and prosperous for years, stable and united. This year, Kaiyuan Mansion has 29 households and 110 households. The statistics only count males, the actual population has doubled), all of them are law-abiding citizens, Kaiyuan Mansion is thriving and orderly thanks to all of you, so this notice is issued to encourage—— Kaiyuan Mansion Yin He Zhao.

After finishing writing, another summary of the whole year's affairs of Kaiyuan Mansion this year was drafted, which included the seized cases and the list of captured criminals was listed on the imperial court.

After doing this, He Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, but couldn't help frowning, so he owed the little thief a favor.

Just when he was frowning, Wu Lie broke in suddenly and said loudly: "My lord, the members of the Wei family are here!"

"Wei family?" As soon as He Zhao heard this, he understood why he came here. Today, someone in the court mentioned this matter again. The privy envoy and general Zhong Daoyu who spoke for him also kept silent. Wei Chaoren might not be far from death if things go on like this.

"Let her in." He Zhao finally decided to meet her.

In the Kunning Palace, the emperor was looking at a mountain of memorials. The year was approaching, and the annual summaries of various institutions in various places were sent up. At that time, the affairs were complicated, and the government affairs had to be dealt with after the early morning meal.There was Wang Yue in previous years, but not this year, so the number of memorials to be dealt with doubled.

Empress Wu was also at the side, reading through the various memorials, and then briefly speaking to the emperor.

"These three books are the year-end general reports of the Ministry of Rites, Ministry of Households, and Judgment of the Ministry of Officials. The Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials are not much different from last year, so don't worry about it. However, the Judgment of the Ministry of Accounts complains about the new officials this year. He only understands the learning of sages, but he is not good at calculations. When calculating the salaries of hundreds of officials, he often delays and delays, and many officials complain about this. Therefore, he wants to ask His Majesty to include calculation examinations in the imperial examinations," the queen said softly.

"Heh, he just thinks about things simply. I don't know that the technique of planning is important, not only in other households, but also in branch divisions, salt and iron divisions, transshipment divisions, and even in the army and courts. Dare to add it to the imperial examination is a big matter to offend scholars all over the world, how can you just open your mouth." The emperor said, and then waved his hand: "But it makes sense, this is a long-term solution, please accept the memorial first. "

The queen nodded, then put the memorial of the Ministry of Household Judgment into a brocade box, and then looked at other memorials.

Afterwards, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Zhezi of the Ministry of War did not pay much attention to it. Most of the Ministry of War in Jingchao was just for decoration, and only dealt with the allocation of military expenses, personnel placement, and recruitment of soldiers.There are three offices for training and training soldiers, and the highest commanding body is the Privy Council. Even if there is a real war, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of War. It is more about the Privy Council and the three offices.

After watching for about half an hour, I rested for a while. The sun had already risen. The maids opened the windows softly, not daring to disturb the empress and the emperor. He glanced at her, but he didn't bother seeing her absorbed.

After a long time, the queen finally put down the memorial in her hand, but she was still staring blankly at the flowers and plants outside the front door, as if she was thinking about something.

"What is Huai Xun looking at? It's just a memorial. How can you be so fascinated." The emperor asked curiously.

The queen came back to her senses and handed over the memorial in her hand: "Look, Your Majesty, this is Wang Yue's memorial."

"Oh." The emperor was taken aback, and said in surprise: "Didn't I let him recuperate? Why did you hand me the memorial at this time." He opened the memorial and looked at it, and suddenly couldn't move his eyes after reading a few sentences.

"The courtiers and concubines were also surprised at the beginning, but after seeing it, they realized that Wang Xiang is attached to the country and the community, and he never dared to relax. Even if he was outside the court, he was worried about His Majesty. He said that he had exchanged knowledge with his friends recently, and his friends made some points clear. There are many principles, and I feel that they are really useful ways to govern the country, so I wrote a booklet and handed it up." The queen said softly: "The concubine is a woman, and I don't know what the truth is, but I think what Wang Xiang said is very true. However, this 'subconscious' gap may be one of the culprits that disturbed the audience and made it difficult for His Majesty to find out the feelings of the people.
