Judge of the Lamp

Hong Zhenji said that the morning court was postponed, but after a whole day, he did not leave the bedroom.

The next day, Hong Zhenji decided to go to the court meeting first. After eating the fish soup prepared by the Shangshan Supervisor, Hong Zhenji felt that his blood was surging and needed to be recuperated, so he returned to the bedroom again and gave up the court meeting that day.

On the third day, Hong Zhenji made up his mind to go to court, Qin Yan changed five Shuli to serve, Hong Zhenji scolded Qin Yan, and then made up his mind to go to court tomorrow.

……

Although Qin Yan achieved his goal, he was also scolded. He is a cautious person and knew that this omen was not right.

That night, he met Li Quangen secretly to discuss this matter.

Li Quangen thought for a long time and said: "You have arranged everything properly, but it made the emperor suspicious."

"What should I do according to Brother Li's wishes?"

"The art of an emperor lies in checks and balances. If you are an impeccable and perfect person, and you always guess the mind of the gods, the gods can't check and balance you, and you will definitely feel jealous.
You should make some mistakes, guess wrong at least a few times, and find someone to point out the mistakes, so that this person can restrain you, so that the god can rest assured. "

"Brother Li, I know how to do this."

Qin Yan suddenly realized, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Li Quangen: "Brother Qin, I have something to ask you."

"Brother Li, just talk."

"There is one thing that I forgot. I want brother Qin to help me think about it. What did I forget?"

Qin Yan really wanted to ask a question.

Brother Li, do you understand what you said?

Li Quangen also knew that his question was outrageous: "I really can't remember, but this matter is really important."

Qin Yan clasped her fists and said, "Brother Li, don't worry, think slowly, I'll deal with the matter at hand first."

……

On the sixth day, Hong Zhenji put on his clothes and walked out of the bedroom.

After all, Hong Zhenji was born in a noble family, and Hong Zhenji has enjoyed countless luxuries. Although he indulged in it for a while, he was not unable to extricate himself.

Today, he pulled it out!
After eating dinner and drinking some wine, Hong Zhenji felt dry and hot again.

But he didn't go to the bedroom, but forced himself to go to Yingwen Pavilion to deal with government affairs.

This is the self-control of being born into the royal family.

When he arrived at Yingwen Pavilion, seeing the memorials that had been piled up for six days, the corners of Hong Zhenji's eyes trembled for a moment, and he almost knocked over the case.

Look at the first memorial: The east gate of Shenlin City has peeled off paint and decayed in many places, so it should be repaired in time.

The city gates decay every year and are repaired every year.

Hong Zhenji ordered, "Hand it over to the Ministry of Industry."

The next memorial: Insect pests are rampant in the east of the city, endangering the stored rice, and should be killed as soon as possible.

The thing about bugs must be reported to me!
Hong Zhenji threw the memorial aside, and ordered: "Hand over to the account department for disposal."

Qin Yan approved the reply in the original words, and handed it over to Hong Zhenji for verification before printing.

Hong Zhenji glanced impatiently, and then reviewed the memorial.

In fact, the mystery of these two memorials is very deep, but Hong Zhenji has no experience, so he can't see it.

In the first book, the Ministry of Industry wants to repair the city gate, but it doesn't say how much money it will cost.

The city gate is the face of Shenlin City, and its location is very conspicuous. The Ministry of Industry has set up a shelf and invited craftsmen to make the momentum great.

In fact, maybe a few nails were driven in, the paint was painted again, and the big project of 10,000+ silver came out just like that.

The city gate has to be repaired every year, and each repair costs 10,000+ silver, which has become a fixed income for the Ministry of Industry.

As for the pest damage reported by the Ministry of Accounts, this is to cover up the deficit on the books.

The granary is in the east of the city, and there are bugs in the east of the city. Although it was dealt with early, it is reasonable to harm 10,000+ stone grain.

As for the food eaten by the bugs, there is no way to check it, and the deficit in the book is just filled up.

Qin Yan knew the method, but deliberately did not reveal it, and accompanied Hong Zhenji to review one by one.

The six books approved to No.20 are all trivial matters, which is the order Qin Yan arranged deliberately.

Hong Zhenji exhausted his patience, threw the memorial aside and said, "Where is the Jizhou memorial?"

What he is most concerned about now is the civil uprising.

Qin Yan lowered her head and said, "I haven't read these memorials yet."

"I haven't seen it, but I've sent it to me!" Hong Zhenji was annoyed. "Building roads, building buildings, and city gates, this matter also needs to be handled by me? At least pick some useful ones and show them to me!"

Qin Yan waited for this sentence for a long time.

He immediately received the decree and began to help the gods sort out the memorials.

In order to avoid suspicion, Qin Yan asked Hong Zhenji for instructions, and he did not let him screen alone, but brought his supervisor, supervisor Bingbi, and the principal to screen together.

Hong Zhenji agreed, and in less than half an hour, after reading all the memorials one by one, Qin Yan presented Jizhou's memorial to Hong Zhenji.

Because the imperial court withdrew the edict to levy taxes, the mutated people in Jizhou had already dispersed, and the whereabouts of several mutated people leaders were unknown.

Hong Zhenji was very satisfied with this result, pointing to the memorial and said: "Although these leaders of the rebels have escaped, they cannot be spared lightly. They have to send people to arrest them."

Qin Yan nodded and said, "What the Divine Lord said is absolutely true."

Cong Zhilin, the new director of rites, Bingbi opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he looked at Qin Yan beside him, but he didn't dare to say it.

Hong Zhenji looked at Cong Zhilin and said, "Do you have something to say?"

Cong Zhilin said in a low voice: "My maidservant feels that the civil uprising in Jizhou happened in the time of the first emperor, and the quelling of the civil uprising is the merit of the god.

At this time, the leader of the Bianmin was arrested. If everyone in the Bianmin was in danger and caused trouble again, then the Bianmin would become a thing of the gods. "

When Hong Zhenji heard this, he suddenly realized.

There has never been a civil uprising in Qiancheng Kingdom before, and the only civil uprising occurred in Hong Juncheng, which is difficult to elucidate in the annals of history.

Now I have quelled the civil uprising, which is an unprecedented feat. If it leads to another civil uprising in order to catch a few leaders of the uprising, it will be a big loss.

Hong Zhenji nodded and said: "You are right, how should we deal with the matter of Qiu Fu?"

After finishing speaking, Hong Zhenji looked at Qin Yan again.

Qin Yan said: "It's still the same system, [-]% will be collected."

Hong Zhenji looked at Cong Zhilin again.

Cong Zhilin looked at Qin Yan's face, and cautiously said to Hong Zhenji: "Shenjun, according to the view of slaves and servants, we can't rush to add gifts.
There were rumors before that the land tax was completely exempted. If the land tax was collected again rashly, I am afraid that something will happen again. "

Qin Yan frowned and said, "Rumors, after all, are just rumors, can they really be exempted from the land tax?"

Cong Zhilin said in a low voice: "But if the god really waived all this year's land tax, wouldn't that be another great achievement?"

Hong Zhenji was silent for a long time and said: "I am not for merit, I am for the people!"

Cong Zhilin nodded again and again and said, "The emperor is lenient and benevolent, all for the sake of the people!"

Hong Zhenji was very satisfied with Cong Zhilin, but he did not promise to be exempted from the land tax: "Let's put this matter on hold for now, let's talk about it later."

Full exemption is impossible, and a little less can make the people grateful.

According to Hong Zhenjie's idea, this year the imperial court collects [-]%, the state government collects [-]% according to the practice, and the remaining [-]% is reserved for the people, which can be regarded as a good year for them.

Hong Zhenji appreciated Cong Zhilin's suggestion very much.

Qin Yan gave Cong Zhilin a vicious look, which made Cong Zhilin tremble in fright.

Hong Zhenji sneered: "Qin Zhangyin, you have a serious temper."

Qin Yan hurriedly saluted, "I don't dare."

"Is there any other important memorial?"

Cong Zhilin took out several memorials for recommending talents by the Ministry of Officials, and Hong Zhenji read them briefly, and found that he was familiar with the names of these people.

They were all pro-Puppet faction. When Hong Zhenji was the prince, he fought a lot with several people.

This time Hong Zhenji looked directly at Cong Zhilin: "How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Cong Zhilin said: "The ministers have worked hard and made great achievements, and what the Ministry of Officials said is basically true, so they should be promoted."

Hong Zhenji smiled slightly, turned to look at Qin Yan and said, "What do you think?"

Qin Yan read the memorial and said: "This memorial seems to be from the official department, but it is actually from the hands of the grand master."

Hong Zhenji nodded. Although Cong Zhilin was quick-witted, his experience was much worse than Qin Yan's. Qin Yan's sophistication was indeed rare.

This memorial obviously came from Grand Master Kong Zhongshen, who recommended these pro-Tu faction officials in order to test Hong Zhenji's attitude.

Before becoming a god king, Hong Zhenji personally announced that after becoming a god king, his attitude may have changed.

Hong Zhenji's attitude has really changed, he now wants to find a balance between Daxuan and Tu Nu.

But he didn't want his courtiers to see through his intentions.

"Qin Yan, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

Qin Yan shook her head and said: "The old slave thought that the gods don't need to pay attention to this matter, just dragging him."

Hong Zhenji was in a good mood, and Qin Yan gave the answer he wanted to hear.

Why did the emperor rush to reply to a courtier?
My mind, you can figure it out slowly.

"Is there anything else urgent?"

Cong Zhilin took out a memorial, handed it to Hong Zhenji and said, "Outside the Beiyuan Bridge, there is a road cracked..."

Hong Zhenji picked up the memorial and threw it on Cong Zhilin: "This is such a trivial matter, you should assign it to each department to deal with it, don't tell me any more!"

After dealing with some memorials, Hong Zhenji stretched his waist and was ready to go to the bedroom.

Cong Zhilin asked cautiously: "Shenjun, do you want to prepare for the court meeting tomorrow?"

Qin Yan said angrily, "Should you ask about this?"

Hong Zhenji looked at Cong Zhilin, at this not-so-mature servant, and felt fond of him: "When did you come to be the chief inspector?"

Cong Zhilin replied, "A month ago."

It's only been a month, no wonder he and Qin Yan are not on good terms.

Hong Zhenji sighed: "Qin's palm print is right, you really shouldn't ask about this matter, go down."

Cong Zhilin resigned, and Qin Yan served Hong Zhenji back to the bedroom to rest.

The principals of the Supervisor of Ceremonies couldn't recover for a long time.

what is it today?
Palm prints and Bingbi usually do not interfere with each other, so why are they facing each other today?

Everyone is puzzled.

Because they didn't know that Cong Zhilin was Qin Yan's disciple.

They would not know that what they saw just now was a double-reed play.

……

In the middle of the night, Chang De received the news from Qin Yan, and hurriedly passed it on to Xu Zhiqiong: "Master, Qin Yan already has the right to select memorials."

Xu Zhiqiong was very satisfied with this, but Chang Decai sighed and said, "Master, if I knew that Hong Zhenji was not familiar with him, I might as well let Hong Huaheng be a god."

Xu Zhiqiong smiled and said, "Is Hong Huaheng familiar with it?"

"Then... Hong Huayun can give it a try!"

Xu Zhiqiong shook his head again and again: "Hong Huayun is not smart, but he has a vicious heart. It's hard to say what he will do if he becomes a god.
Hong Hua's perseverance is acceptable, but after he became a god, he was afraid that his mind would change, but this person is extremely smart, Qin Yan and Li Quangen are no match for him,
The most suitable candidate is none other than Hong Zhenji, who is hard to say great wisdom, hard to say great stupid, hard to say great good, and hard to say great evil,

He is a mediocre person, an ordinary mediocre person, what Qiancheng really needs is a god like him,

Tell Hong Huaheng to write the memorial. "

The next day, the Supervisor of Rites received a memorial from Prince Hong Huaheng.

Hong Huaheng suggested that all prefectures and counties will be exempted from land tax when the new king ascends the throne this year.

When the memorial arrived in Qin Yan's hands, she was directly approved and handed over to the household department for disposal.

The second memorial is still from Hong Huaheng.

He proposed to amend the law to allow the people to sell and buy privately, and set up a private market, from which the imperial court collected commercial taxes.

Qin Yan approved the award and still handed it over to the Ministry of Household Affairs for disposal.

The third memorial is still from Hong Huaheng.

He proposed to rebuild the Shenji Division and supervise all officials.

Qin Yan immediately approved the award, and the matter was handed over to Hong Huaheng for disposal, with the assistance of the Ministry of Officials.
