Chapter 929 Arguing for You
Officials who can appear at the Xiaochao meeting count as one, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

Under the premise that the emperor has directly set the tone, no one will be so stupid as to make things difficult for the emperor at this time, and will be right with the emperor.

Therefore, no matter what everyone thinks in their hearts, they all bowed to the emperor and congratulated the emperor for being a good minister. The atmosphere in Deqing Palace became beaming for a while, as if Da Chen had successfully recovered his old place. Returned to Yanjing.

His Majesty the Emperor stretched out his hand and patted Shen Yi's shoulder, then turned around with a smile, walked up the imperial steps to the throne, then glanced at the officials above the third rank in the palace, and said with a smile: "This dynasty is still far from being a great prosperity. However, Shen Shilang defeated Hu Qi's conspiracy several times, winning more with less, which really boosted the morale of the ruling and opposition parties."

"My heart is very happy."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi, smiled and said, "Shen Yi, just listen."

Master Shen could only kneel on the ground again, bowed his head and said: "My minister respectfully listens to the oracle."

The emperor stroked the beard that had grown a little under his chin, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Shen Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, has made great contributions to the country, so he will immediately confer the title of Mrs. Madam Madam."

"In Jiangdu Prefecture, give Shen Yi [-] mu of fertile land."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, looked at Shen Yi, sighed slightly, and said, "I also give Shen Yi a horse to ride in the imperial city."

Master Shen lowered his head deeply, and said: "Your Majesty awarded the concubine, I am very grateful, I dare not accept it, and I have the audacity to accept the award, but it is only the land of Jiangdu Mansion, I dare not accept it..."

"My lord, please take it back."

The emperor frowned even tighter, waved his hand impatiently, and said lightly: "If I say I give it to you, I give it to you. You mustn't take it."

"Okay, no need to kneel down, just get up and answer."

When the emperor said this, he said with a smile: "Today is the Xiaochaohui, and now Shen Qing is also a third rank, so I happened to be there to listen. As long as you are in Jiankang from now on, you will be present at the Xiaochaohui."

After saying this, the emperor waved his hand and said lightly: "Okay, what were you talking about just now, let's continue the discussion now."

As the end of the year draws near, there are a lot of things for the imperial court, and there are many things that need to be decided today, otherwise there will be big troubles in a few days after the imperial court rests.

To put it bluntly, it is the end of the year, and everyone has to do some calculations to see how they got there this year, and then calculate how they will live next year and how the benefits should be distributed.

The court meeting is not over until the interests of all parties are balanced to the point that everyone can accept it.

Hearing this, Shen Yi first bowed his head to thank Shengen, then got up silently, and glanced at the crowd present.

Originally, he was supposed to be standing next to old man Jiang Jian, but now old man Jiang probably took his eldest grandson home, and he hasn't come back yet. After thinking for a while, Shen Yi silently walked to Zhao Changping's side and stood beside Zhao Changping. behind this Zhao Shangshu.

Zhao Shangshu is very brave at this time, and he is exchanging words with the heads of various yamen because of next year's budget.

After all, this is Da Chen's God of Wealth, and if he wants to pass next year's budget, he has to nod and agree, otherwise, even if Zhongshu Zaifu nodded, next year's Ministry of Households will be obedient and obedient, and it will be difficult to handle.

Besides, Zhao Shangshu had a lot of experience in the imperial court, not to mention that the emperor would respect his opinion on the budget, even the ministers of Zhongshu had to give him face.

Therefore, everyone has to come to Zhao Shangshu to nod.

Shen Yi stood silently behind Zhao Changping, watching his nose and heart, pretending that he didn't hear or see anything.

In this way, after arguing for half an hour, Zhao Changping finally calmed down.

If he stops, it means that next year's court expenditure budget will be roughly finalized.

It also means that the taxes that Hong De has not collected in 13 years have been allocated by these officials.

After the quarrel, Zhao Shangshu reported the result to the emperor, and the emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he knew about it, and then returned to his original position.

It wasn't until this time that he had time to look back at Shen Yi, and said with a smile, "Zi Heng is making a big splash today."

Master Shen was dressed in a python robe, but in front of Zhao Changping, he still maintained respect. He bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "Where is the uncle showing off the limelight? I think Yang Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry was scolded so bloody by you, I almost dare not Speak."

"He deserves it."

Zhao Changping said with a smile: "This year, the Ministry of Industry has spent so much money, but in the end, His Majesty found out a major ink corruption case. Cheng Bin, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was the only one who corrupted so much money. The others didn't help?"

"After a big case like Cheng Bin's, he still wants to ask for money, even more than this time last year. How can he open his mouth like a lion?"

Hearing this, Master Shen couldn't help but widen his eyes.

He didn't know about other things in Jiankang City, but he couldn't be more familiar with the matter of Cheng Bincheng's servant!
Because the present Shen's residence was the residence of Cheng Shilang back then.

As for why Cheng Shilang fell from power, Master Shen also knew very well.

He touched his nose, looked at Zhao Changping, and said with emotion: "Master is very clever."

Zhao Shangshu is naturally clever at being able to take advantage of the problem and turn some events that seem to have nothing to do with him into a sharp weapon in his hands.

Zhao Changping stroked his beard, looked back at Shen Yi who was dressed in a python robe, nodded with satisfaction, and said softly: "Before, when I talked about you with your father-in-law, I thought that if you want to enter the Xiaochaohui, you must at least It will be possible after five years, but now, you will join in."

Zhao Changping turned his head, looked at everyone present, and then said quietly: "Here is a big meeting hall, a larger Zhongshu."

He paused, and continued: "The meeting hall of Zhongshu is a smaller court meeting."

"You were able to attend the meeting just now, so you should listen, watch and think more here."

Shen Yi nodded silently, and said: "Thank you for the teaching, uncle, my nephew has memorized it."

Zhao Changping patted Shen Yi's shoulder lightly, and said with emotion: "Oasis Academy, the only ones who can enter here so far are you and me."

"None of the seven sons of Ganquan can enter."

Hearing this, Shen Yi felt thoughtful.

…………

Soon, it was noon.

Because it is the last small court meeting at the end of the year, there are many things that need to be decided today, and then announced at the big court meeting five days later, so today's agenda will definitely not be too short.

In half a day, there must be endless quarrels, and sometimes they need to quarrel until the afternoon or even the evening.

This is the case every year today.

Therefore, the palace prepared lunch early, and at noon, it was delivered to the gentlemen. Standing next to Zhao Changping, Shen Yi also received a meal. He was about to find a place to sit down and have a meal. A young eunuch stood beside him, lowered his head slightly, and said, "Shen Shilang, Your Majesty is calling you in the back hall."

Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, and said, "Elder-in-law, let's take a detour?"

There is a back door in Deqing Palace to enter the back hall. Shen Yi walked through this back door. After all, it is a bit inappropriate to go from the front hall to the back hall directly in front of so many court dignitaries.

The little eunuch lowered his head slightly, and said: "Your Majesty said, let you go directly, there is no need to hide anything."

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and could only nod his head in agreement. He turned around and greeted Zhao Shangshu who was not far away, and then followed the little eunuch to the apse.

In the apse, His Majesty the Emperor was also eating.

The emperor lowered his head and set up a table, which was also full of food. The emperor pointed to this position and said with a smile, "Sit here, Shen Qing."

Because of the particularity of the emperor's profession, the emperor generally does not eat at the same table with anyone, and only eats "alone food".

Therefore, even if the emperor invites Shen Yi to dinner at this time, there are still two tables and two meals.

Master Shen bowed his head respectfully, and sat down under the emperor.

After he was seated, the emperor sighed slightly: "Today's award is a bit too shabby. I know that you are probably not satisfied, and I am not satisfied either."

Shen Yi quickly lowered his head.

"Your Majesty, I am already quite satisfied. At this age, I can be ranked third rank..."

"Don't mention the age thing."

His Majesty the Emperor snorted: "The five old men in Zhongshu are over [-] years old together. Which one of them has the ability to go to the front and retreat Qi people?"

Shen Yi bowed his head silently.

The emperor said to himself again: "It's a pity that when Emperor Taizu established the title of title, he abolished the second class of baron and viscount. Otherwise, it would be reasonable and reasonable to confer Shen Qing a Jiangdu county at this time."

He paused, and said helplessly: "Without the Viscount, I originally wanted to give you the title of Uncle Jiangdu, and I discussed with those old fellows, but they disagreed desperately, saying that the reward is too much now, and if you, Shen Qing, If you make meritorious service, there will be nothing to seal, and nothing to reward."

"I think..."

The emperor ate a mouthful of food, and said: "There is some truth."

"Therefore, I can only wrong Shen Qing temporarily."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "I have never taken it to heart if I have a title or not, but I have a suggestion that I want to tell Your Majesty."

The emperor looked at Shen Yi: "Say it."

"The Huai'an Army needs to expand."

Shen Yi said silently: "Only by expanding to 5 people can we be able to make the Northern Expedition."

"What's more, the Huai'an army suffered a lot of casualties. I have already borrowed money from Liulichang. In the name of Your Majesty and the court, I have issued a pension and reward money, but the borrowed money must be repaid."

"The Ministry of Households needs to allocate money as soon as possible."

The emperor nodded first, and then asked: "How many people does the Huai'an army need to recruit?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and said, "At least 3 people are needed to complete the establishment."

Hearing this, the emperor thought about it for a while, then nodded slowly.

"Then let's do that."

The emperor yawned and said, "Pass me the regulations later, and I will fight those old guys for you."

Shen Yi looked respectful and bowed his head in salute.

"Thank you Your Majesty..."
