I want to be a good minister

Chapter 495

Cen Xi has a headache, such a big country, even in the eyes of Cen Xi, the Dajing Kingdom with a vast territory and rich resources and people, and the Dajing Kingdom with thirteen affiliated countries, would never be what it is now precarious state.

After Cen Xi watched the memorials for two full years, he finally gave Da Jingguo a very objective evaluation:

Internal and external troubles, a big country that has been declining.

Cen Xi began to believe Zongli's words. The small subordinate countries in the north were constantly fighting and fighting for nearly ten years.Of course, she knows better than anyone else the situation of Beichang Kingdom. The big southern countries headed by Bishan Kingdom have been disobedient for a long time. Why are the remaining dependent countries so peaceful? They are so poor that they can't even fight.

Houzhao Country, for example, falls into this category.

Oh, no, Houzhao Kingdom is very popular nowadays. There are more memorials related to Houzhao Kingdom in recent months than in the previous two years combined, which originated from the treasure under the suddenly collapsed mountain.

Cen Xi rubbed his forehead and shook his head. He has completely lost confidence in the system's wind and cloud monitoring system. Even if the system is back to normal now, Cen Xi is not sure that he can establish a wind and cloud monitoring system in such a barren country.

An ancient saying: If you have enough food and clothing, you will know etiquette.

The economic problems, the problem of food and clothing, and the problem of food and clothing must be solved first in the Dajing Kingdom, and then the technological improvement.

Therefore, at this moment, Cen Xi has absolutely no illusions about going back, but the fact is that there has been no news from the system for nearly two months, which basically means that the system has completely disappeared.

Caiyu gently put down the teacup, her eyes were not only gratified but also distressed. Their Highness has read thousands of memorials in the past half month, from dawn to midnight every day.

Bachelor Qi didn't ask to see him, the three of the four elders had already returned to Weizhong Palace, and the remaining Bachelor Yi seemed to be caught in something and hasn't come back yet.

"Your Highness, everything is ready—" Mingyu stepped forward and quietly reminded.

Cen Xi nodded, put down the memorial in his hand, and stood up.

The court clothes that had already been prepared were brought up respectfully. Dozens of the top embroiderers in Weizhong Palace worked for seven days to embroider the court clothes for His Highness's first day in court.

After His Highness woke up, this matter was being done. When the first court dress was presented, it was rejected by His Highness. It was too flashy, complicated and heavy.

Therefore, the artisans who rushed to make it supported the current court uniform after fully seeking the opinion of the emperor.

It is not the usual positive red, but a gray powder that is thicker than pink, embroidered with colorful dragons, and gold tassels on the shoulders to make up for the heavy feeling, a belt of one color, and black satin boots.

Cen Xi nodded. He had already seen the sample picture once, and only started with her consent. Among the three sets, Cen Xi chose this one, mainly because it was warm and light, and the style was the simplest.

The sedan chair is already waiting outside Ziwei Palace, and Zongli, who has come earlier, is waiting together. Regarding the changes in the woman these days, Weizhong Palace is full of worry and uneasiness. I am afraid that the most peaceful place is Zongli in front of him. .

All the civil and military officials arrived half an hour earlier than usual, full of energy, looking forward to it, feeling apprehensive on the other, but most of them didn't care.

After all, they have been at the top for decades, no matter how nervous they are, they are old fritters who have been experienced by the ups and downs of the officialdom for so many years. Even if they have made no achievements in their lives, they will be diligent, hard-working, honest and clean.

After all, Her Highness the Holy Maiden has just left customs, and she knows very little about the government. Moreover, these days, Her Highness has not even summoned the emperor. It can be seen that she doesn't know much about the affairs of the government, so the courtiers present are all at ease. few.

"Going to court——" With the solemn shout of the court officials in the palace, the comfort that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty had just picked up was lost in an instant, and the added tension made the entire court hall silent, moving slowly with the dazzling sounds Then, as soon as the waiters came in one file, with the incense burner and phoenix tail in their hands, the sound of the ceremony stopped, and Cen Xi was already sitting on the high throne.

Then Cen Xi turned his head and looked at Zong Li beside him. Zong Li nodded slightly. There is a lower seat on the side below the throne. Cen Xi asked Zong Li for his opinion on this matter. As the deputy, he just needs to stand by his side.

Cen Xi denied it, and insisted on setting up a deputy.One is that Zong Li is familiar with government affairs, and with him around, the courtiers under him are naturally cautious; the other is that Cen Xi did it on purpose, step by step to raise Zong Li's position, until one day, Zong Li can justifiably sit on her seat. side.

"The ministers pay homage to His Majesty the Holy Maiden, and the King—" followed by the ground officials bowing respectfully.

"Pingshen—" Cen Xi spoke slowly, although the voice was not loud, but it was enough to be heard by the courtiers in the first few rows, and the courtiers got up one after another.

So some courtiers secretly went to see His Highness who was in a high position. It can be said that this is the first time His Highness appeared in front of the courtiers, without any gauze cover, aside from the mysterious gauze, this one looks very dignified and serious. The woman is very similar to the one behind the gauze curtain.

Naturally, no one will doubt the identity of Her Majesty the Holy Maiden, and it is not their turn to suspect this matter. With Her Majesty the Holy Maiden personally guarding her and the presence of the Four Great Masters, all of these people can be fake, and Her Majesty the Holy Maiden is also impossible. is fake.

"Let's get started—" Cen Xi said lightly, his words were calm. He was somewhat nervous in such an occasion, but for Cen Xi, nervousness was not a big problem. In front of him, all the heads and clothes that looked similar, I know, in the future, she has to be familiar with these figures one by one.

"The old minister of the Great Jing Kingdom has a loyal order. The three generations of the loyal family have been the kings of the past. They have served as ministers of the Great Jing Kingdom. The old minister is ashamed. The merits are not obvious and there is nothing to achieve. The only thing to do is to work hard and bear no complaints, and to be loyal to His Highness from generation to generation—"The loyal minister The words burst into tears, and even Cen Xi was taken aback, frowning slightly. She just wanted to know the main things in the near future. Why does it seem like a trial meeting has been held?
The courtiers below also secretly groaned in their hearts.

Loyal minister, your beginning is not a good one. Now that you say it like this, what shall we do next?Having said that, does His Highness think that we are just eating and not doing anything?
"Loyal ministers have devoted themselves to Dajing. I know very well that the reform of profits and taxes has been done very well, and the promotion of officials has been very fair. These two actions have already stabilized Dajing. Loyal ministers do not need to be humble. Today, I want to understand the recent years. Great things that Da Jing has done, next, all ministers just need to talk about the big things they have done in recent years, and their own scribes will write it down—" Cen Xi waved his hand, and everyone saw that there was indeed someone standing on the side with a pen in his hand. Recorded quickly.

Suddenly, everyone was surprised, and this operation.

The loyal minister immediately wiped away his tears, and couldn't help but want to ask, can he do it all over again?
"Jin Chenxiang——" Jin Chenxiang was the deputy prime minister, and he was in poor health all year round. He was sick for nine out of ten days, with a sallow face, and he stood sideways sickly.

"Your Highness, I'm ashamed—" Jin Chenxiang said immediately, and then glanced at the secretary who was still moving his pen. He gritted his teeth and said, how can I not say it, this is my first impression in front of Your Highness.

"Your Highness, although my qualifications are blunt, my heart is concerned with the Dajing shipbuilding industry. Under my leadership, my Dajing shipbuilding technology has made a breakthrough, especially the technology of iron ships, heavy industry ships, and military ships. In other countries, no one can match it. Now, Houzhao country has discovered a large tungsten iron mine. I believe that in the next two years, the development of our Dajing ship industry will be even faster..."

Cen Xi kept nodding his head, praising him uncomfortably, and the courtiers below jumped up one after another, and the next few veteran courtiers were all highly praised by His Highness.

Gradually, everyone discovered that no matter what anyone said, His Highness seemed to know it and could add a sentence or two.

This, does this mean that His Highness understands what they did?

The officials who realized this level suddenly felt a thump in their hearts. These are all good things, so what about the bad things?Does His Highness also know?
Cen Xi naturally knew that she was waiting for everyone after looking at them one by one.
