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

Chapter 128 The Violent Conflict Between Wu Meiniang and Lu Pheasant

"Chen Leyi..."

Li Gan picked up the yellow porcelain dragon pattern cup on the table and took a sip, but he was still a little dizzy.

Li Gan felt his scalp tingling when he thought that there was still Baduanjin to practice today, and so many memorials to be approved, as well as his own Zhu Zhu to be revised, and to see the concubine.

Guys, when did this life start?

Didn't he come to enjoy the blessings of being an emperor?Why doesn't the current style of painting seem quite right?Back to the previous 996?

Sighing, he still cheered up: "Then go and see her, but the night will pass."

Finish the memorial and Ba Duan Jin in the afternoon first, and see her again when I return to the palace at night.

"Yes, Your Majesty." After Wu Meiniang answered, Lu Zhi moved the backlog of memorials from the side.

The ones Qin Hui sent back were almost finished editing, and only the last few copies remained.

Li Qian opened the top one, and it looked familiar.

Isn't this the memorial of the "Fire Dragon Burning the Cang" in Longxi County?
Li Gan flipped through the words of Qin Hui written by Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi that day. The suggestion Qin Hui gave that day was that this matter was too strange. Xing asked about the burning of the Changping warehouse.

Recalling Beijing directly... Isn't it a bit of a big deal?
Li Qian frowned. Although the sheriff's suspicion was strong enough, everything was still inconclusive, and it seemed a little overreacted to let him return to Beijing hastily.

Thinking of this, Li Gan looked around and asked, "The two concubines think, should I call this person back?"

Lu Zhi thought for a while, and summoned up the courage to speak first: "Your Majesty, I think it's a bit of a big deal to call a county guard back to the capital for interrogation just because of a suspicion that I don't know whether it's true or not."

"Longxi is located in an important city. At a time when people are panicking, if we rashly recall the county guard, it may cause people's hearts to fluctuate."

"Also, maybe it's because Prime Minister Qin wants to eliminate dissidents and let his people take over."

Li Qian nodded silently, Lu Zhi basically considered all the points, especially the last point.

What if it was an accident that the Changping warehouse was set on fire, and Song Min was a good official, so if he rashly called him back to Beijing, what if he wronged the good man?
But on the other side, when Wu Meiniang heard the words, a smile appeared on her lips: "Your Majesty, I think it's better to call this person back to Beijing for interrogation."

"Ok?"

Li Gan turned to look at her again: "Meiniang, tell me what you think."

Wu Meiniang first followed Li Gan to approve the memorial for three days, so she thought she knew him better.

"Your Majesty, I don't think I should pay attention to whether Prime Minister Qin wants to eliminate dissidents, but whether there is any problem with Song Min, governor of Longxi County."

"If the fire dragon burning the warehouse was really done by him to cover up the deficit, then he is a corrupt official, and he should be dismissed no matter what."

"Even if he didn't do it on purpose, the burning of the warehouse is also his dereliction of duty."

"As a county governor, at this critical moment, several Changping warehouses in the county were burned down."

"Such a careless person obviously shouldn't be the sheriff anymore. He should be sent back to Beijing immediately."

Li Qian was silent, Wu Meiniang considered it from another angle.

This Song Min let the food be burned, either incompetent or corrupt, he can no longer be tolerated.

Li Qian turned his head to look at Lu Zhi again, and asked with a smile, "Ema, how do you feel now?"

Ejin is Lu Zhi's character.

With a gentle smile on her pretty face, she said to Li Gan: "Returning to Your Majesty, I have heard it before. People make mistakes, and horses make mistakes."

"If the governor of Longxi is recalled to the capital, if it's just an accident, it will cause the court to lose face, and it may also chill the hearts of loyal people."

"It's safer to wait until the investigation is clear before making a decision."

"No."

Wu Meiniang shook her head, and looked at Li Gan with a smile: "Your Majesty, I feel that this person must be punished."

"If this is allowed to be exposed, people in other counties and counties may follow suit. At that time, Changping warehouses in various places will be burned one after another, and the world may be in chaos."

Lu Zhi retorted: "Your Majesty, I think that I can't deny my great achievements with small faults. It would be a pity if I really buried a good official."

"I didn't say that I would be buried. Temporary demotion is fine. If this person is really a talented person, why worry about not being able to make meritorious deeds, and there will be a day when he will make a comeback in the future..."

Listening to the debate between the two women, Li Qian's thoughts had already gone beyond the sky.

He was wondering what benefit he could get from it.

If you go back to Beijing and ask, Song Min was really responsible for the burning of the warehouse, then there is a reason to dismiss him from his position.

The position of the governor of Longxi County is vacant, can you send Gao Shilian there?

A few days ago, He Shen sent over the documents on the employment status of the county guards in various counties, but Li Gan didn't see any suitable places on it.

Those places close to the capital and with good locations are firmly occupied by people, and only a few remote counties are about to end their term of office.

But if Gao Shilian's old body is taken away, it will shorten his life. I'm afraid he may not be able to work for three years.

But Longxi is different! !

This place is to the west of Jingzhao Mansion, the county town faces the Weishui River, and it is also at the key point of the Silk Road. It is the only way for merchants from the Western Regions to come to the capital for trade, and it is very prosperous.

If Gao Shilian can be brought there, it seems... quite suitable?

But, even if Song Min comes down, can Gao Shilian go up?
Now that He Shen has left the capital, there is no one to help with the operation, I am afraid it will be too much...

Li Gan's fingers subconsciously stroked the barrel of the brush, weighing the pros and cons.

Suddenly, he straightened his back, and Lu Zhi and Wu Meiniang, who were arguing softly, immediately quieted down.

"Let's call him back first."

Li Gan revised his Zhu Zhu on this memorial.

How do you know if you don't try?

Anyway, Yan Song and He Shen's disaster relief places are not far from the capital, and at worst, he will be brought back at that time, or someone will bring his documents back.

Wu Meiniang was on the left, her warm red lips curled slightly, and she didn't say much.

Lu Zhi bit his lips lightly with his white teeth, and lowered his head slightly.

Li Qian glanced at the two of them left and right, and said with a smile: "The position of governor of Longxi is too important. This Song Min is either stupid or bad. I want someone else to take up the post of governor, and he is not suitable. "

Only then did Wu Meiniang suddenly understand, and she nodded lightly, so it was so.

Lu Zhi nodded silently, and the smile returned to her pretty face.

However, she also faintly realized that the loss this time was probably not just because His Majesty had other plans.

It's because Wu Meiniang knows His Majesty better than herself.

Just like when she said her opinion just now, she thought it safe.

But Wu Meiniang seems to have said that based on His Majesty's disposition, otherwise why is she so proud?

Li Qian also realized the subtle atmosphere between the two of them, he smiled and said: "When I ask, you can say whatever you think."

"Even if it's wrong, it doesn't matter, I just hope you have different ideas from me."

"If you both think the same as me, then the three of us are one person?"

Li Qian hoped that the two little secretaries would help him develop his thinking and deal with government affairs.

Instead of hoping that the two of them will scramble to figure out their own ideas and agree with themselves.

The two also understood what Li Gan meant, and Wu Meiniang smiled back: "Yes, Your Majesty, I understand."

"The concubine also understands." Lu Zhi also returned softly.

Although it is said now, the contradiction between the two probably will not disappear.

To give advice to His Majesty the Emperor, there must be a rival, right?
After reading all the following memorials, in this way, all the memorials sent back by Qin Hui will be processed.

Li Qian stretched, let out a long sigh of relief, and lay down on the chair.

However, when his eyes looked to the other side of the table, his face became frowning again.

Absence from work is a moment of pleasure, and the crematorium is finished.

Yesterday, I spent a happy day with the concubines in Yulinyuan, and there was a backlog of memorials that had not been processed for a day. In addition to the revision of Zhu Zhui two days ago, there were also a small number of memorials left, so the memorials to be processed today were directly processed. Too many to explode.

But if the approval cannot be completed today, Qin Hui will come to discuss the wrong memorial again tomorrow...

Can 996 still have a day off, and I can't even have a day off?
Li Gan held his forehead helplessly, what is this riding on a horse called? ?
There will be memorials every day in the future, isn't it all year round?Sooner or later, you will be exhausted!

No wonder the emperor in the previous life had to rely on the prime minister and the cabinet.

Can all the affairs of a country be put on one person? ?
There are only two hundred memorials a day, even if there are many memorials that talk about big things, Li Gan can't make up his mind, and there are many small things that he just reviews.

The rest was enough for him to drink a jug.

No wonder so many emperors in the previous life had to ask the prime minister and the cabinet to help with the government affairs, because one person was really too busy.

Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi thought he was tired again, so they helped him massage his temples in distress.

Li Gan closed his eyes and rested his mind, but in his mind he thought of the back cabinet and ticket system that he had conceived.

The so-called ticket drafting means that before the memorial is submitted to the emperor for approval, others first write their opinions on the small ticket, and then paste it in the memorial and send it to the emperor for reference.

The emperor may or may not use the opinions on draft proposals.

In this way, the emperor's workload can be greatly reduced.

He opened his eyes and looked at Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi in front of him. Can they take on this responsibility now?

If it really starts to be drafted, how can this matter be kept from outsiders?
Those small tickets were burned directly after they were used up?

After thinking about it, Li Gan decided to put it aside for a while.

Nowadays, there are too many eyeliners in the palace, and it is easy to spread the news.

This matter is not big, but it is definitely not small.

His Majesty the Emperor actually set up a system in the palace by himself, which will inevitably make the civil servants start to be alert and fight.

And the concubine's handling of government affairs will directly cause an uproar among the people.

Even the faint king is not so faint.

Li Gan rubbed his brows, took the memorials on the table and began to read them one by one.

The matter of drafting...let's wait.

Now Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi are still a little immature, and he, the emperor, is also very immature, so it is best to discuss things together.

When the three of them become more proficient in government affairs in the future, they may be able to use that more efficient method.

By the way, there is also Xi Shi, you should take the time to visit her...

In the rush hour, the afternoon passed by in a hurry.

More than half of the memorials were left on the table, but Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi were no longer here.

It was replaced by Lu Bu and Li Gan who was awkwardly doing Baduanjin.

He lifted his left leg with both hands, and pulled it upwards vigorously, his face flushed from holding back.

Lu Bu supported him and helped him maintain his balance.

"Father, hold on, go a little higher."

Lu Bu kept on cheering Li Gan up.

But Li Gan just raised his heels to the same height as his head, and couldn't pull them up anymore.

"Whoo~"

He lowered his legs and took a few breaths.

Although he has not been able to fully complete the first form, Li Qian can clearly feel his progress during this time.

If it was placed before Lu Bu stretched his tendons, Li Qian would definitely not be able to pull his feet to the level of his head.

It is because he feels progress that he becomes more and more enthusiastic.

"Pull it a little longer today, Fengxian."

Li Gan is like a man who is dissatisfied with desire... Well, he is a man who is dissatisfied with desire.

Playing happily with the concubines every day these days has already made him feel weak.

Practicing this thing will always make you more energetic, right?

Li Qian lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and let Lu Bu stretch his muscles.

"Fengxian, it's really hard for you to help me stretch my tendons every day these days."

Lu Bu was trying to pull it out, but when he heard this, his hands trembled.

"Father..."

"Big Companion, you go and pay Fengxian 5000 taels of silver." Li Gan said suddenly.

"what?"

Lu Bu was dumbfounded, what's going on?
The old eunuch was not surprised, and immediately responded: "Yes, Your Majesty."

For a while, Li Gan had thought of countless ways to cash out from his internal funds, but the results were not satisfactory.

The people sent by Tang Guogong were very strict and supervised everything, so Li Qian's many attempts failed.

Until last time, Li Qian found a way that they were not likely to refuse.

reward.

The following people have meritorious service, and the emperor wants to reward them with money, so it's no problem, right?
The head of internal funds sent by Tang Guogong used treasury rewards to prevaricate at first, but Li Gan said, I am willing to use internal funds to reward!
There was no way to deal with it for a while, and then began to cry poor.

Your Majesty, we are almost out of money, you can reward me, but can you give me a little less!
The credit goes to the credit, and you can't give him all the money in your pocket!

Li Gan also didn't like to do too much, so when he saw that the inner money took a step back, he also took a step back.

If you can’t reward more than 30,000 taels, then reward the old eunuch with 10,000 taels first.

After all, he is busy for me every day, arranging everything, and helping me manage the small treasury... The last item is crossed out.

The head of internal funds is still crying, Your Majesty, please take pity on us.

We have managed the internal funds for you and the first emperor for so many years, and now the internal funds are extremely clean, there are no eunuchs to do anything, and there is hard work even if there is no credit!
If we withdraw so much money and rewards all at once, we won't be able to account for it!
Li Gan ignored the cries of these people.

You still have the face to cry?

How come the annual income of domestic funds must be more than 200 million taels?
Let you manage until there are only 30,000 taels of silver left, even if it is cleared, is there any use?
It's better to let the eunuch go greedy!
It's not that Li Gan doesn't know about these people taking his money and secretly supplying Tang Guogong.

Therefore, he planned to reward one point today and another point tomorrow, and sooner or later he would empty out the internal money, and then take back the ownership of the internal money.

Lu Bu didn't know Li Qian's plan, and he didn't dare to ask for it when it happened so suddenly.

For Lu Bu, this was really a windfall, and it was the kind that could knock him dizzy.

But why did the adoptive father suddenly reward money?

Could it be that you don't plan to let me practice Baduanjin for him in the future?
Lu Bu took half a step back, and said aggrievedly, "Father, Bu served the father because of his loyalty... no, filial piety, if the father rewarded him again, Bu would feel ashamed!"

"You take what His Majesty gave you!" the old eunuch reminded kindly.

But seeing him say that, Lu Bu didn't dare to ask for it.

This eunuch must be killing me! !

"Just take it."

Li Qian got up from the couch, and said earnestly, "Feng Xian."

"When I was in the East Palace before, I didn't live very well, but now that I have ascended the throne, it is naturally not what it used to be."

Lu Bu looked at him in astonishment.

"You are my adopted son. I am living a good life now, so I cannot let you live too hard!"

Li Gan said solemnly: "Fengxian, your good days are coming soon!"

This is not a picture, Li Qian really attaches great importance to this product.

After all, Lu Bu is super powerful and protects his life.

If one day he was bribed by someone, and he cut his adoptive father a knife, then Li Qian would be the one who cried.

Therefore, after rewarding the old eunuch, the next thing he thought of was Lu Bu.

"Good days are coming..."

Lu Bu opened his mouth and muttered, his vision was somewhat blurred.

Not because of the money, but because of Li Gan's words.

After so long, finally a good day? ?
"Thank you soon?"

The old eunuch kicked Lu Bu's calf and looked at him with contempt.

Really worthless, no experience.

Such a fool for so little money?
The old eunuch completely forgot that when he heard that 10,000 taels were rewarded, he was still picked up by the little eunuchs below.

"Bu thanked foster father."

Lu Bu knelt down on one knee, and leaned heavily: "Bu Dingran will go through fire and water for his adoptive father, and he will not hesitate to do so..."

"okay."

Li Gan smiled and waved his hands: "I don't reward you for listening to your words, so hurry up and stretch your muscles!"

"Yes, foster father!"

Lu Bu stood up awkwardly, wiped his eyes, and felt that his whole body was full of energy: "Bu will definitely help foster father pull it out, pull it hard!"

The old eunuch did not forget to come over cheaply to trip him up: "When there was no reward before, didn't you pull it out?"

"Get out! Your saliva is sprayed on my face!" Lu Bu wiped his face and flew into a rage.

……

After finishing his busy work in Ziwei Hall, Li Gan returned to his Longevity Hall.

Since this morning, Chen Leyi has been waiting here for a whole day, but instead of being annoyed by the wait, she became happier the longer she waited, and even hoped that His Majesty the Emperor would come back after dark.

After all, it's getting dark, so maybe His Majesty can take advantage of the opportunity to stay here, maybe... that's what.

So, when Li Gan came back, he saw Wu Meiniang, Lu Zhi, and Chen Leyi who was so excited that his eyes were almost glistening.

"I have met Your Majesty in person." The three of them bowed in unison.

The three women each have their own strengths and weaknesses, but Wu Meiniang's most distinctive feature is her pair of red phoenix eyes, which are overbearing.And Lu Zhi has the style of Xiaojiabiyu, which belongs to the kind that gets better and better the more you look at it, with a proud advantage.

And Chen Leyi, who stood at the back, was pretty and cute, with curved eyebrows, a small nose, and hair that just reached her shoulders, giving her a sophisticated aura.

After the four of them had dinner, both Wu Meiniang and Lu Zhi found excuses to leave, Li Gan smiled and said to Chen Leyi: "Did Concubine Chen bring any new fabrics for me to see?"

Chen Leyi said bluntly: "Your Majesty, I have brought some nice things."

"Oh?"

Li Gan was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect it to happen. He immediately became interested: "Is it better than yesterday's fabric?"

"It's not new fabric, it's more exciting than fabric." Chen Leyi shyly replied.

"This……"

Li Gan was taken aback, why did he feel something was wrong?
"Let someone put it in the room where I rest in the afternoon, and I will take you to have a look."

Chen Leyi was a little careless, took Li Gan's hand and was about to leave.

Li Gan followed her to a side room in the hall, where there were benches, small tables, tea tables and other objects for people to rest.

After entering, Chen Leyi let him sit on the chair in front of the tea table.

"Your Majesty, this is what I brought to you." Chen Leyi pointed to a stack of papers on the table.

Li Gan opened it and saw that there were various geometric figures and straight lines on it, as if they were drawings.

Chen Leyi said warmly: "This is the blueprint of the loom I improved myself. With this loom, weaving those kinds of complicated scattered flower silk and Qingyun brocade is as easy as the palm of my hand."

Li Qian turned a few times, looked up at her with a funny face: "What do you mean by giving me this?"

"None of these types of brocades have ever appeared on the market, and even if they did, they would not be produced in large quantities."

Chen Leyi grabbed Li Gan's hand, and said softly: "Now that Your Majesty has this loom, the poor weaving bureau can weave this brocade by itself, and it can make countless profits."

"Although Your Majesty is rich all over the world, this thing is also a little bit of my heart."

Li Qian pondered for a moment, what Chen Leyi said was indeed reasonable.

If no one else can mass-produce these kinds of brocades, and only he can, it means a monopoly.

And monopoly means huge profits.

Especially now that there are so many businessmen from the central and western regions in the capital.

The reason why this commercial route connecting China and the West is called the Silk Road is because the most popular commodity on it is silk.

If such a kind of gorgeous silk is really monopolized now, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can make a lot of money, which makes Li Gan very excited.

He doesn't want to care about improving the overall national strength of Daqian now, he just wants to make money now.

Everything needs money. If there is no money, improving the national strength will only make others cheaper in the end.

Of course, Li Qian valued Chen Leyi in front of him more than the money he might make.

So young can improve this loom, who can say what she later achieved?
Every improvement of the loom may mean a lot of wealth.

This is a true gem of talent.

With a smile on his face, Li Qian looked up at the talented girl in front of him: "Is this the one you showed me that looks good?"

"Ah?" Chen Leyi was taken aback, not understanding what this meant.

She has given away the manufacturing method of the loom, what more does His Majesty want?

Li Qian got up and took her into his arms, and said softly: "I thought there was something more exciting, this blueprint is a bit inferior."

Chen Leyi blushed pretty, as if she understood what he said: "Actually... there are better-looking ones..."

"Let me see." Li Qian looked down at her.

"Your Majesty..." Chen Leyi blushed and buried her head in his arms.

"Let me take a look." Li Gan smiled and took off the jade hairpin from her head.

　Kavinka's hair loss today, I wrote more than 6000, and I will make it up tomorrow
