golden scales

If everything is your wish, there will be no tragedies such as fighting for power and intrigues.So there is a word in the world called "unrequited love".

Wu Weiye didn't think it was a good thing to be a section chief at all. ——Although the word "section chief" sounds very domineering, it is the title of the top leaders of each of the six subjects.

But... do a good job of transferring officials, why do you want to be a retainer like a eunuch!

The official position of "bastard" has a long history. As early as the Warring States Period, the dignitaries appointed their confidantes as "bastards" to manage their followers.The right and left concubine of the state dynasty, the initial job was to help the prince manage his subordinates.However, with the passage of time, the title and authority have already changed.Today's concubine is just a transfer official, and cannot manage other staff members of the Eastern Palace.

Not to mention working under the same roof with a group of maids and eunuchs, Wu Weiye felt like the sky was falling when he thought about it.

"Wu Shuzi, go to work before tomorrow morning." Zhu Cihong said.

"Your Highness," Wu Weiye braced himself, "I'm afraid I can't leave my post without permission because my job is in Zhan Shifu."

"Who is in charge of Zhan Shifu now?" the prince asked.

Wu Weiye was choked almost speechless: That is your subordinate official!

Hmm, but after thinking about it, it's right, many officials of the Eastern Palace have never seen what the Eastern Palace looks like.

"Your Highness, it's Shao Zhan Shiyu." Wu Weiye said.

"Oh, tell him, it's my arrangement."

Wu Weiye gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, the minister is the minister of the country..."

"Well, do you want to take care of both?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised, he didn't expect there to be such a diligent courtier.

Wu Weiye only felt that the veins on his forehead were throbbing, but he was embarrassed to say some discriminatory words in front of Liu Ruoyu and the female officer.Although he has a sense of superiority as a Jinshi, he thinks he belongs to the "suave" school, and he is definitely not the same as those censors who roll up their sleeves to fight.

"Your Highness, I have limited energy..."

"So you should take care of this side first." Zhu Cihong said: "Zhan Shifu should be fine, I don't have any impression of them."

"If Your Highness pays more attention to the reading, maybe you can still have some impressions." Wu Weiye couldn't help but said.

"Oh, that, let's talk about it." Zhu Cihong said again: "Once the training of soldiers...I mean disaster relief, there will definitely be a lot of work here. You should focus on the things here first, and do better than you did in Zhan Shifu. It makes more sense to eat and wait to die."

——Why did I just hang around in Zhan Shi's mansion and wait to die!

Wu Weiye suddenly had a sore nose: "Your Highness, I have been serving as the East Palace for 11 years since Chongzhen, and I have worked hard and worked tirelessly day and night..."

"Okay, okay, it's settled like this." Zhu Cihong didn't like this kind of provocative display of loyalty, and it was serious to work hard to do a good job.He waved away the red-eyed Wu Weiye, and said to Yao Tao: "Yao Tao, starting from tomorrow, your second department will list every income and expenditure in the East Palace Wai Mansion, and enter the account every day at Haishi. "

——The prince actually remembered my name!

Yao Tao was dizzy for a while, she got up, but she couldn't remember what the prince said just now.

"These 300 taels of silver are only used to purchase materials for disaster relief, and they must be recorded separately, and they are also recorded in the same day." Zhu Cihong said: "Every ten days will be combined into a ten-day report, and everyone who donates money will get a copy .”

"Yes, Your Highness." Yao Tao did not miss a word this time, and the prince's explanation just now gradually emerged in his mind.

"If you want to continue to do a good job in fundraising, you have to let people know where your money is being used." Zhu Cihong said bitterly: "The gentry and others think that the emperor's family has more money than they can eat, and they don't know that Taicang and the inner money have long been used. Exhausted! Otherwise, can I watch Lu Chou wreak havoc!"

Everyone was silent.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, the Qing soldiers entered the customs, plundered the huge population of silver and food, and slaughtered a large number of living people. It is really a great tragedy in China.And the generals' unwillingness to fight was completely exposed to the world.The state received a huge 900 million taels of Liao pay alone, but with such a result, who would be willing to give the money?

Zhu Cilang paused, then turned to Zhou Jing and said, "Five thousand and 300 taels, this is the amount on the account, and the real thing I want to see must also be this amount. If you dare to increase the fire consumption privately, or you can't control your subordinates from stealing If you want it, don't expect me to protect you."

Zhou Jing shuddered, and complained in his heart: It seems that I have to pay for it myself...

He didn't know what he had offended in the past two days, and suddenly there was an evil wind in the court, and he stared at him all day long to impeach him, saying all kinds of strange things.Not only was His Majesty the emperor angry, he ordered the officials to go to his house to scold him.Even the queen empress sent her servants out, and they really cursed at her.

If the prince hadn't kept it, he would have been dismissed from office and idled away long ago!

——The old eunuch seems to be more valued by the prince than I am, so I should contact him some other day.

Zhou Jing looked at the unpredictable Liu Ruoyu, secretly making up his mind.But he didn't know that the impeachment of Yan Guan was all the old eunuch's idea.

Although the effect is gratifying, it is the crown prince who is gratified, and Zhou Jing, the person involved, is by no means included.

It was already past Haishi when the meeting ended, and everyone who walked out of the house had an indescribable mood.Different from Zhou Jing's bitterness and Wu Weiye's depression, Yao Tao felt somewhat happy.She thought that many of her powers and responsibilities had been taken away, but unexpectedly she became the prince's accountant.

Ever since the palace asked to use the East Palace method of accounting, the status of the accountant has been higher than that of all other officials.As long as any department dares to be greedy and cheat, it will be reflected in the accounts in every detail.This is why Liu Gongzheng must hold the financial power in his hands.

Now that she owns the financial power of the Eastern Palace, Yao Tao is even more grateful to Aunt Liu for sending her here.

Yao Tao walked to the door and saw that the female Shi who came with her was still waiting outside the door, she nodded to signal that she could go together.The two returned to the attendant's room one after the other. Yao Tao assigned the various accounts needed by the East Palace to people, established the rules of authority and responsibility, and was busy until midnight before dismissing everyone and letting them go back to sleep.

"Yingyue, wait a minute." Yao Tao stopped the female officer who followed her just now.

"What orders does Si Zheng have?" The female officer always had a smile on her face, which made people feel at ease.

"When did you enter the palace?" Yao Tao asked.

"Back to Sizheng, it is June of the 12th year of Chongzhen."

"Exactly four years." Yao Tao smiled and said, "I'm two years earlier than you, so it's not offensive to call your sister."

"You are the seventh-rank division official, the head of the female officials in the Eastern Palace. It is Yingyue's blessing to be able to call you sister." Yingyue smiled sweetly.

Yao Tao also couldn't help laughing: "What a mouth that can talk. That's right, I think you can do things quickly. From tomorrow on, you can follow me to do things."

"Thank you sister!" Yingyue covered her mouth slightly: "Yes, Si Zheng!"

Yao Tao patted her hand lightly: "It will be funny. Go to rest earlier."

"Sister, won't you go?" Yingyue's eyes widened.

"I still have an errand." Yao Tao suddenly felt her cheeks burn for some reason.

Watching Yingyue go to the backyard, Yao Tao raised the back of her hand to impress her cheeks, and then saw a team of interior decorators coming out of the study with lanterns and walking towards the dormitory.She quickly moved over, stopped after ten steps away, and said, "Your Highness Rong Bing."

Zhu Cihong stopped in his tracks and said, "Speak."

"Your Highness, do you want to arrange someone to sleep with you tonight?" Yao Tao tried to speak in a business-like tone.

"Serving the bed?" Zhu Cihong was a little surprised: "Can female officials also serve the bed?"

The female officials of the Ming Dynasty were not responsible for satisfying the physical needs of His Majesty the Emperor.Although there are also female officials Chengyu, but that is very rare, and it will be tolerated by the material discussion.

Yao Tao's face became even hotter, and she forced herself to calm down and said, "I have taught the maid."

"Hmm." Only then did Zhu Cihong remember that his mother said that she would marry him next year.The scheduled concubine is a daughter of the Ning family, and she seems to be from a scholarly family, but according to the emperor's ancestor system, her family will definitely not be a high-ranking official above the fifth rank.Zhu Cihong hasn't met his fiancée yet, but with the aesthetic standards of the emperor's aunt and queen mother, she will definitely not be ugly.

"No need, let's go to rest early." Zhu Cihong flatly rejected Yao Tao, thinking in his heart: I really look down on my brother, do I need others to teach me that kind of thing?

Teacher Cang has already done enlightenment work!
