However, Yan Ge disagreed: "The Queen's words are too bad. When the love between the concubine and the concubine is strong, why should you care about the day and night?"

  Unexpectedly, Lin Peiyao was right: "Your Majesty, the ancient saints are absolutely impossible to prostitute in the daytime. If Your Majesty wants to become a generation of wise men, you must be careful in your words and deeds, and then you can set an example for the world..."

  Yan Ge laughed and said, "Concubine Ai, I don't want to be a bright prince, I just want to be a faint prince!"

  "emperor!"

  Lin Peiyao said angrily, but she had no choice but to follow Yan Ge with a flushed face.

  Early morning three days later.

  Yan Ge, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and Wang Meng, who was wearing a purple official robe below, looked at each other, cleared his throat, and announced to the ministers: "My dear friends, I have been thinking about it for three days and three nights, and finally I came up with it. A brilliant solution to the current financial crisis."

  When Zhang Feng heard this, his eyes lit up immediately.

  As a big farmer, he is in charge of the treasury, and the treasury cannot make ends meet. He is the saddest person.If there is a way out of the current predicament, of course he is in favor.

  So Yan Ge revealed his plan to sell the official in front of Baiguan.

  After Yan Ge finished talking about his plan, the audience fell silent, and all the ministers were dumbfounded. The imperial court sold their titles and titles to the rich at a price, which they had never heard of or seen before, and instinctively created an extreme. rejection mentality.

  "Your Majesty! If you open this door, the court will be smoky and chaotic after all!"

  "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible. The way of Confucianism is to take scholars with virtue, but now Your Majesty wants to take scholars with money, doesn't it go against the law of the ancestors?!"

  Even Su Hong, who is Yan Ge's die-hard loyalist, showed an embarrassed look this time, hesitating to report again and again: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen also thinks this is inappropriate. Only the title of the title of the Golden List of the dynasty can enter the dynasty as an official, how can your majesty grant him an official title just because someone bought it with a lot of gold?"

  Yan Ge shook his head and scolded: "Stupid! Stubborn! Your brains are too rigid!"

Chapter 29 Faint Lord, Faint Lord!

  After he finished speaking, he glanced at Wang Meng.Under Yan Ge's instruction, Wang Meng came out and defended: "Masters, please take a look at the little official, the emperor does this, naturally he has his reasons..."

  Before Wang Meng finished speaking, someone next to him asked loudly, "Who are you, who dare to say that you know the holy will?"

  Wang Meng glanced at him, and said calmly: "I'm not a good person. The day before yesterday, Your Majesty was conferred a third-grade Longtu Pavilion Bachelor. I wonder if I'm qualified to express my opinion in front of the princes?"

  The man then stepped back a little embarrassedly.

  Although the third rank is not the official title of Heaven, the bureaucrats who can reach the third rank can be said to have entered the core power level of the Great Wei Dynasty, not to mention that the position of the Longtuge Bachelor has always been held by the standard emperor military advisers and advisors, which means that usually The red man in front of the emperor.

  Only then did everyone give Wang Meng a high look, but they didn't expect that this character that they had never seen before was actually a person who won the emperor's trust.

  Seeing that no one questioned his identity anymore, Wang Meng slowly began to explain:

  "It is normal for the princes to question your Majesty's policy of selling officials, but I need to explain a few issues here."

  "First, this sale is divided into official titles and titles, and all the official titles are below the seventh rank, which are official positions without real power, and all the official titles obtained by buying officials are marked with 'Feng' or 'Donation', so they bought them. Those who hold official titles have no right to participate in the direct management of state affairs. Those who buy titles have only one title, neither the daily rewards of the court nor the privileges stipulated by the law, so how can they disturb the government?”

  "Second, Your Majesty will set up a special agency within the Censor's Desk to monitor the behavior of all those who buy officials and titles. If they take this opportunity to exploit the common people, link up with the top and bottom, and commit illegal things, they will definitely be severely punished. As a result, we can guarantee that this sale of officials and titles will be foolproof."

  Wang Meng's thinking was clear and his logic was meticulous. After speaking, most of the officials were lost in thought and found that they could not refute what Wang Meng said.

  But there are still stubborn, still entangled with old-fashioned excuses such as ancestors, etiquette, etc. Wang Meng is not afraid, and he debates with all those who refuse to obey at the court. It is vaguely visible that Zhuge Liang used his tongue to fight against Confucian scholars. Yan Ge also secretly praised in his heart.

  After several rounds of arguments, the voices of opposition became less and less.Although Yan Ge could see from the expressions of some people off the court that they were still dissatisfied, he just didn't know how to refute Wang Meng, so he had to say nothing, his face flushed red.

  Seeing this, Yan Ge took the opportunity to come out and end: "Alright, alright, all of you Aiqing have just made a detailed account of the matter that I raised.

  After discussion, in the end, it seems that Lord Wang Meng has the upper hand.Since all the dukes have no opinion on the words of Lord Wang Meng, then this matter was decided so happily! "

  But at this moment, a loud voice came from the audience.

  "Dark Lord!"

  Yan Ge's expression changed, who had eaten the guts of a leopard, and even said such a thing directly in front of the emperor.

  "Who is slandering me?" Yan Ge said angrily.

  "Hyun-kun, dim-kun!"

  At this time, a tall and thin young man in a crimson official robe stood out from the group of ministers. This man looked Yan Ge's eyes squarely, and said rebelliously: "If your majesty insists on acting alone, you will be reviled by the world."

  "You, you, who are you!" Yan Ge pointed at this person's nose and shivered with anger.

  "The minister is the order of Zhou Han," the man said proudly.

  Yan Ge tried hard to recall in his mind, and finally remembered this person.This Zhou Han was born in the Dan Tu Zhou clan, his father Zhou Chao was a great scholar in the world, and he had a high prestige in the scholar-lin The leader of the literati.

  Thinking of these Yan Ge, I feel even more disgusted in my heart. At first glance, this Zhou Han has no real politics. He can write two articles and think that he has some ability, and he is arrogant. He dares to be so presumptuous in front of the emperor, let alone usually What an eye above the top.

  Yan Ge wanted to directly pull this guy out and behead him, but in the end he held back his temper and asked: "Zhou Han, you said that I am a faint, where is the faint, what is the difference when I propose this method?"

  Zhou Han said: "I, such as the famous people of the Qing Dynasty, are all noble and pure, how can I be an official in the same dynasty as those who are full of copper stench?"

  Yan Ge was so angry that he wanted to laugh: "Okay, then tell me, if you don't use this method, how can you solve the current financial difficulties?"

  Zhou Han thought that Yan Ge was asking for his opinion, and smiled proudly: "Your Majesty, don't disturb, as long as Your Majesty obeys the will of God, follows the people's will, respects the scholars, does not forget the ancestral hall, and gains the people's hearts, the people will naturally be willing to pay taxes and finances. The problem is solved.”

  As soon as this statement came out, even other ministers who also opposed Yan Ge's views frowned. What Zhou Han said was really nonsense. Could it be that we don't have to do anything and just sit and solve the problem?

  Yan Ge also completely concluded that this Zhou Han was someone who didn't eat minced meat, so he clapped his hands and said, "Where is the Imperial Warrior?"

  Suddenly a few burly men came in.

Chapter 30 You will be condemned by the world

  "Bring this person to me in the Heavenly Prison, and ask him to be executed after the autumn!"

  Zhou Han immediately shouted loudly: "Hunjun, if you are doing something wrong, you will be condemned by the world!"

  Yan Ge drank: "Zhou Han, you dare to go against your will in public, it is an unforgivable sin, but I will let you live for a while longer, so that you can see whether I will be condemned by the world, or will I rule the world. thriving!"

  In Zhou Han's screams, a group of guards pressed him down.

  Yan Ge then announced that the official sales meeting will be held in the Liangyi Hall after the fifteenth, and the highest-ranking officials and titles sold this time will be held here.

  At the same time, the sales of lower-level official positions in the local area are formulated by the Shangshu Province and assigned to the local prefectures and counties.He also handed over the relevant matters to the minister of the minister, Ge Jianzhang.

  With Zhou Han's lessons learned, the ministers did not dare to say anything, and this matter was finally settled.

  However, Yan Ge was secretly paying attention in the courtroom, remembering the names of all the officials with lower loyalty in his mind.

  Because in addition to selling officials and titles, he has to do a more important thing at the same time, that is, raid homes throughout the capital to check for stolen goods.

  However, it is not possible to copy all the homes of everyone. After all, there are very few ministers in the court who still have nothing to do with it.

  There are also some people who are just petty and greedy, and the harm is not too big. He can't kill everyone at one go. If that is the case, it will really lead to official resentment and cause great resistance from the bureaucratic class.

  Therefore, there must be a basis and focused inventory of a group of typical people, and it is these people who are really rich and able to supplement the national treasury with their own wealth.

  As for how to determine how much money a person has greed, Yan Ge's idea is to judge based on his loyalty.

  It is true that this method of judgment is not completely accurate. After all, it is possible that some people in the DPRK and China have embezzled a lot of money despite their high loyalty, but in more cases, the lower the loyalty of a person, the higher the possibility of embezzlement.

  What is loyalty?

  Loyalty here is to abide by one's responsibility to the emperor, and those who can take this responsibility will naturally not be corrupt.So this is a good way to catch corrupt officials.

  So Yan Ge looked at the retired ministers and sneered: "Sample, how many people are obstructing my plan to sell officials today, and all of them are righteous and high-sounding, I want to see when I go to your house to search, Aren't they all so clean!

  Yan Ge, who went down to court, got on the dragon chariot and left the Golden Palace in a mighty manner, accompanied by a large group of eunuchs and court ladies.

  To say that the emperor's chariot is luxurious, even if there are more than a dozen people standing on it, it will not appear crowded.

  At this time, there were several maids in palace costumes serving Yan Ge, some serving Yan Ge with tea and snacks, and others pinching and rubbing Yan Ge's feet. Yan Ge was blowing with the scent of locust blossom The warm air, while enjoying the company of Yingying Yanyan, felt that the fatigue of the previous court was relieved a lot.

  It's been a tiring job.

  Yan Ge remembered the fear of being dominated by various classes in English and Chinese in high school in his previous life. He had to lose several strands of his hair last time, how could he be so comfortable now.

  "Your Majesty, where are we going next?" the female official Yue'er asked from the side.

  Since flirting with Yue'er that day, Yan Ge felt that this little girl was beautiful and clever, so she took her with him all the time.

  "Then let's see where our Yue'er wants to go to play?" Yan Ge liked it more and more, and couldn't help saying: "Good Yue'er, can I let you be my concubine?"

  Yue'er waved her hand and said, "No, Your Majesty, Yue'er wants to stay by Your Majesty's side all the time. If you become your concubine, just like Concubine Yan and the Empress, although they are deeply favored by you, they cannot I've been with you all the time."

  Yan Ge was greatly moved when he heard it. He thought that the girls in the palace only longed for glory and wealth, and he was eager to do everything possible in exchange for the opportunity to serve the emperor in bed, hoping that the crow could become a phoenix.

  He didn't expect to have someone like Yue'er beside him who just wanted to accompany him.

  So he clenched Yue'er's little hand and said in a serious tone, "Yue'er, don't worry, although you don't have a palace rank, if anyone dares to bully you, I will definitely not forgive you!"

  "Your Majesty!" Yue'er was moved to tears.

  At this time, another palace maid next to her reminded: "Your Majesty, the Royal Garden is here. Concubine Xiang, Concubine Hui, and Concubine Zhen are enjoying flowers in the garden. Would your Majesty want to meet them in the Royal Garden?"

  "Okay, okay!" Yan Ge was excited when he heard this.

  It was only then that he remembered that he had traveled here for so long, but the real concubine in the palace had only contacted Lin Peiyao, and he personally sealed the smoke concubine Daji.

  But there are three thousand beauties in the harem, and he has yet to see so many beautiful concubines left by his predecessor!

Chapter 31 Scoring

  So he ordered the people not to disturb the three concubines who were watching the flowers inside, and slipped in quietly, trying to observe the appearance of the three concubines in the dark.

  "Sister Xiangfei, why are you so sad today?"

  "Oh, sister, don't mention it, the emperor hasn't come to see me for more than ten days, and sister, I'm about to fall out of favor."

  "Who is not, I can't even see the shadow of His Majesty now."

  "Yeah, since His Majesty favored Naji, he has never let us sleep again."

  "I heard that now the queen's little lady who has been in the cold palace for ten thousand years has been favored again. It's really bad luck."

  Yan Ge approached the Imperial Garden, and from a distance, he could hear the three gorgeously dressed women chatting non-stop.Yan Ge felt guilty even after listening to it. He couldn't give up an entire forest just because of a few flowers. These beauties couldn't be left out in the cold.

  But when he got closer and took a closer look, he was disappointed. No matter which of the three concubines, the beauty could not be called the best.

  Of course, if any of them are placed in the modern age, they are the kind who can receive a lot of gifts even if they put on a little makeup and open a live broadcast.

  But Yan Ge, who had seen the beauty of Lin Peiyao and Da Ji, was equivalent to a warrior in armor. Today's defense is already very high, and if he is not a real beauty, he can't break the defense.

  If all the beauties in the harem were at this level, even if it was three thousand beauties, he would not be interested.
