Manchu traitor, how can you let me be the emperor of the ages

Chapter 110 The Talented Li Gan

Li Gan was taken aback when she heard this, but Wu Meiniang's words opened up a new way of thinking for her.

His original idea was to at least find some legal basis, and then see which one of Yan Maoqing's crimes met, and punish him according to the law.

But what Wu Meiniang told him was that this thing is all up to you.

I feel that Yan Maoqing is okay, so I lightly expose it, if I get bored with him, I can give him a severe punishment!

Li Gan glanced sideways at Wu Meiniang, seeing her uneasy.

But in fact, Li Gan discovered the difference between the two from Wu Meiniang's words.

His thinking concept is still different from most people here.

Li Gan lived in a world ruled by law in his previous life, but this world is a real world of imperial power, where imperial power is greater than human rights.

The so-called imperial power does not narrowly represent the power of the emperor, but the power of the court, the power of officials, and even the power of all powerful people.

Realizing this key point, Li Gan suddenly thought of He Shen's entry into the palace yesterday.

It stands to reason that the treatment of shouldering public transport can only be given to those ministers who are elderly and have limited mobility and have made great achievements.

But because He Shen gave a lot, Li Qian was happy, Li Gan just found a nonsense reason, and gave He Shen a shoulder, and the officials had no objection to this.

Because the power of granting shoulders is in the hands of the emperor, as long as it is not too excessive and greatly affects others, he can use it as he wants.

Now aware of this problem, Li Qian was a little silent.

He knows that in order to adapt to this world, he must slowly change his thinking, but how can this be changed in a day?
Li Qian sighed softly, take your time.

He turned his eyes to the memorial on the table again, after thinking for a while, he turned to Wu Meiniang and said, "This Yan Maoqing is actually a member of Prime Minister Yan."

"Even if I approve a heavy punishment here, the memorial may be stopped by Prime Minister Yan and changed to a lighter sentence."

Li Qian knew that this was because his power was not strong enough, not enough.

Wu Meiniang was still worried about Li Gan's attitude. Seeing him continue to ask questions, she thought about it and said softly, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Yan may also be concerned about your attitude."

manner!

Li Gan frowned, saying that He Shen would figure out his attitude, Thaksin.

But if you want to talk about Yan Song, then he will be skeptical.

Li Gan has been uncertain about Yan Song's attitude. Although this guy is as greedy as He Shen, he is not as loyal as He Shen!
He Shen was greedy for so much money, and sent tens of thousands of taels of silver to the palace.

But Yan Song was greedy for so much money, but he didn't even express it, which made Li Qian feel that he was not a good person.

However, there were many people who didn't send money, and Li Gan couldn't use this to judge loyalty and treachery. He picked up the pen and pondered for a while, and finally approved four words: fine salary for one month.

Originally, he was going to be fined for half a month, but because of Yan Maoqing's status and attitude, Li Qian added a one-month fine to him, which was considered within the normal range.

It was Wu Meiniang's words that gave Li Gan a little inspiration.

Although he doesn't have much power, the emperor is the emperor after all, and there will always be ministers who keep paying attention to him.

Just like in the Jiajing Dynasty in the previous life, every move of the old Taoists in Jiajing will be watched by the Qingliu, and they will ponder over it carefully to test whether His Majesty the Emperor has the idea of ​​being strict.

But if Li Gan's attitude towards Yan Maoqing is not good, and people get involved with Yan Song, that would be bad.

Yan Song is greedy, but after so many years of sitting on the left and holding the treasury, there has been no trouble at all, which is a manifestation of his ability.

Moreover, the strict party is also deeply rooted in the government.

Now Li Gan needs the civil servants to give him a clue, so how could he send out such a signal to torment Yan Song?

After approving the memorial, Li Qian took out the memorial that the governor of Longxi asked if he wanted to buy grain.

However, looking at this memorial, Wu Meiniang also encountered difficulties.

"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines are dull and don't know what to do." Wu Meiniang lowered her head, her voice was as thin as a mosquito.

Li Gan took her hand with a smile: "It doesn't have to be like this, I've said it before, if it's wrong, it doesn't matter if you don't know, if it's a big deal, just put it on hold."

He also vaguely understood that Wu Meiniang had been making a living with her mother since she was a child, and entrusted her to her relatives.

Because she is talented, she has a deep scheming mind, and she plays with all kinds of twists and turns, but after all, she is limited by her vision, and she doesn't know what to do with such a big matter that concerns a county.

But this doesn't matter to Li Gan, he has to learn how to deal with the government, so why isn't Wu Meiniang learning?
"Your Majesty, the ministers and concubines feel that if there is a problem with the water transportation, the food in the Changping warehouse will be burned. This matter may not be as simple as it seems."

Wu Meiniang frowned and said, "Could it be the prefect Song Min who did it?"

Seeing Li Qian looking at her, Wu Meiniang explained: "I heard that there was a county in the past. The local Changping warehouse was short for many years, and the inventory was less than one tenth. As a result, there was a disaster in the county one year and the Changping warehouse was needed. The food in the warehouse came to relieve the disaster, but the county magistrate couldn’t get any food, so he sent people to set fire to it at night, and reported the loss of a warehouse of grain..."

Li Gan squinted his eyes and nodded. In fact, he also suspected this. This kind of "fire dragon burning warehouse" trick was not too much in his previous life.

However, Longxi County is just to the west of Gyeonggi, and since the county guard dared to report it in a fair manner, at least he didn't worry about the court's inquiries.

Li Gan thought for a while, and then wrote the red words "Investigate the cause of the fire" on it.

As for the lack of food, whether it should be purchased by Longxi or transferred from the capital, Li Gan didn't know what to do with it.

At least he has to wait for him to know the price of grain in Longxi, how much grain is there in the capital, can it be used?

Next, Li Gan selected a lot of memorials that he didn't quite understand, or couldn't read, and asked Wu Meiniang to help him explain.

He thought that Wu Meiniang didn't know much, but he didn't expect that Wu Meiniang could help him solve most of the doubts.

"Meiniang, are you still a learned lady?" Although Li Qian was teasing, he wasn't too surprised.

When the Daqian Palace was drafting, it had long been a standard to read and know the etiquette.

These days, many people preach the so-called "virtue is a woman without talent", but there are also extraordinary people among the emperors who have long been aware of the problems.

It is difficult for a concubine who doesn't understand poetry and etiquette to teach a prince of good conduct. This is a major matter for the heir of the dynasty.

Therefore, the fifty beautiful women who can enter Li Gan's harem this time are basically literate and reasonable, and the worst ones can also guarantee their literacy.

"Your Majesty, my concubine has been studying with my father since I was a child, and later I lived with my mother, and my mother has kept my concubine from reading and writing."

On the contrary, Wu Meiniang looked at Li Gan, her beautiful eyes were full of surprise: "Your Majesty is also very smart, you can remember words you don't know after just reading them!"

She also discovered just now that Li Gan can remember and understand unrecognizable characters as long as he asks them once. He has never asked a second time. Wu Meiniang has never met such a smart person.
