I’m a Scumbag [Quick Wear]

Chapter 41: Faint king in power (5)

    Concubine Xu looked at Shao Yu in disbelief, and then very quickly, with an unfamiliar but standard posture, saluted Gu Yunshu.

    Shao Yu did not mention the previous words, and instead said: "The Fengyin has been returned, but your sin of trespassing is unforgivable. This month, I thought about it behind closed doors in Qingyang Palace."

    Concubine Xu was helped out of Kunning Palace by Dan Cui in a trance. She still couldn't believe that the emperor would treat her like this.

    "Your Majesty may be confused for a while, madam, don't take it to heart." Daincui comforted in a low voice.

    Concubine Xu is pale, her family background is not obvious, everything is based on the emperor's unprincipled favor for her, and now the emperor hates her, what will happen to her?

    Gu Yunshu's face did not show much joy, her situation with Concubine Xu had just turned a corner. She used to be the one who was suppressed like this, but now she has just become Concubine Xu, and it is inevitable that there will be a death of a rabbit and a fox. feeling.

    Just thinking about her final outcome, she decided not to be the one who was oppressed again.

      Is to coax the emperor to play generally passed.

    The establishment of a cabinet caused an uproar in the courtroom. The establishment of such a department was undoubtedly another strengthening of the civil service group.

     

    Shao Yu sat on the head, the old **** was watching them quarrel, he didn't mean to persuade him at all, and even commented with Zhao Liufu with great interest.

    "Look at that name, he looks like a dog."

    It coincided with the super truce period of civil and military officials, Shao Yu said that the hall was completely silent, everyone looked at Shao Yu in disbelief, and then looked at each other, as if looking at each other Who looks like a dog.

    Those who feel that the emperor can remember his name, take it for granted that the emperor is not talking about himself.

    And those who are not sure whether the emperor recognizes them or not, when they see the glances cast to them from left and right, feel quite offended, and can't wait to jump up and say "I'm not".

    Shao Yu coughed lightly, as if nothing was happening, and said, "Everyone is done arguing? Since you can't discuss a result, then recommend, Zhao Liufu, a piece of paper for each person, Each person has one vote, and you record the number of votes each person gets."

    This suggestion seems very fair, and it is a secret vote, and the courtiers have no objection.

    Soon, Shao Yu got the list that the courtiers rejected, he looked at the names Zhao Liufu wrote down, raised his eyebrows, and said to the courtiers: "It seems that I want to be a cabinet. There are many old people."

    A person like Xu Jianning who secretly voted for him can't help but blushed.

     "If it's less than five votes, forget it." Shao Yu said.

    The ministers looked at the number of people present and had no opinion.

    Shao Yu continued: "Five votes or more, there are a total of thirteen people, and almost half of them have to be removed. Just cast lots."

    "Your Majesty, this matter is very important and should not be played." Liu Da was the first to stand up against it.

    Others responded.

    Shao Yu rolled his eyes, anyway, he is a ridiculous emperor, and he doesn't need to care about his manners. If there is no table in front of the dragon chair, he would like to lift his feet up.

     

    "Er...I have no such idea." Liu Da said quickly.

    Shao Yu said directly: "Do you want me to randomly assign you so that you will be happy?"

    "Um..." Everyone was speechless again.

    "You are not satisfied with the fairness of drawing lots, do you want to carry all thirteen people into the cabinet?" Shao Yu asked.

    Liu Da touched the nonexistent sweat on his forehead, the word "lift" is really unlucky to say, but he still can't refute it.

    In the end, the courtiers naturally couldn't beat Shao Yu.

    Soon Zhao Liufu brought a box up, folded the pieces of paper with thirteen people written on them in front of everyone, and put them in the box.

    Shao Yu stood up, rolled up two sleeves, and put his hands in slowly.

    Those whose names are among the thirteen people are naturally anxious, and those who are not among them seem a little relaxed at this time.

    Shao Yu suddenly stopped, watching all the ministers staring at him, his face suddenly showed pain.

    "Your Majesty?" Liu Da asked softly, feeling a little worried.

    "It's okay, I was bitten by the note, oh...it hurts." Seeing their serious expressions, Shao Yu couldn't help but slapped.

    “…”

    Liu Da didn't know what to say.

    Xu Jianning got closer and asked, "Your Majesty wants to pass on the imperial physician."

    I will try my best to cooperate with your performance.

    The rest of the ministers saw that Xu Jianning had no bottom line, and couldn't help but scolded him as a traitor.

    However, Shao Yu suddenly became addicted to acting. She swiped the note between her fingers like a convulsion, and directly threw the first note she caught onto the face of Xu Jianning, who was closest.

    Xu Jianning picked up the note and did not dare to open it, but handed it to Shao Yu respectfully.

    Shao Yu stretched out his hand to open the note and flipped it out, so that everyone could see it clearly.

    "Congratulations to Liu Xiang, becoming the first cabinet elder in the cabinet." No matter whether the ministers are really happy or not, they have to make a look of being happy for Liu Da at this time.

    Shao Yu smiled and said, "I forgot to say, is this lot to exclude or to keep."

    Everyone was stunned, and Liu Da's face stiffened.

    "Your Majesty, the military affairs are not a joke..." said a minister.

    Someone on Xungui's side said: "Your Majesty, there are six people who have been discarded, and seven who are left behind, and the paper lot is bitten by His Majesty's hand, so that's the case, It's better to discard all that your Majesty caught, lest your Majesty suffer from flesh and blood once more."

    Between the people arguing, Shao Yu grabbed another piece of paper and took it out. Coincidentally, the name he grabbed this time was Duke Xian. Duke Xian fought on the battlefield in his early years. Hehe, although he is in his sixtieth year, he is still in high spirits. He is the leader of honors in terms of age and military exploits.

    In this way, there is one side between Wenchen and Xungui, but they are the best among them. It is not good to say that those caught will be excluded. Also shut up.

    Shao Yu said with a smile: "Is this abandonment or retention?"

    "Stay, stay, naturally stay." At this time, everyone's opinions were relatively unanimous.

    Shao Yu was too lazy to play with them, and quickly caught the remaining five.

    Yan Kai is a right minister. Among the civil servants, his status is only under the left minister Liu Da. .

    The final list of patriarchs consists of five ministers and two nobles.

    Although the generals are dissatisfied, they also know that the generals are not as good as the civil servants in handling national affairs. At least they have their own people in the cabinet.

     

    "Yan Xiangye, Yan Xiangye, wait a moment."

    Yan Kai turned around and saw that Zhao Liufu was calling him, so he hurriedly stopped.

    "Yan Xiang, Your Majesty summoned him." Zhao Liufu said quickly.

    Seeing that everyone around him was looking at him, Yan Kai could not help but straighten his back, as if to show everyone that even if he was not lucky enough to enter the cabinet, he was still very popular with His Majesty.

    "Yan Xiang seems to have just passed the year of knowing his destiny this year?" Shao Yu asked.

    Yan Xiang hurriedly said yes, now that he is fifty years old, he has already fulfilled the position of the Right Prime Minister, and he is considered to be the last one.

    Shao Yu said slowly: "This person, if he is over sixty-five years old, his brain will not be so bright, and he should retire. The same is true of the cabinet."

    Yan Yan jumped with joy, the closest person in the cabinet to the age of sixty-five is Liu Da, the left minister? Since the pavilion is getting old and is about to retire, then Liu Da's position as the left minister will not be able to keep it, will he not be...

    "Look at me, I actually told the right minister that there are some things." Shao Yu paused, and then said: "I called the right minister to ask about the situation of the Ministry of Households. "

    Yan Kai hurriedly told what he knew.

    Shao Yu sighed.

    Yan happy to mention.

    Shao Yu went on to say: "I originally thought that the Minister of the Household Department was a capable person, and I never thought that the treasury was in his hands, which is far from the time of the previous emperor."

    Yan Kai was stunned for a moment, why is the secret treasury far worse than before, don’t you have a point in your heart, Your Majesty? Building a palace today and building a garden tomorrow, no amount of money can withstand such waste.

    Shao Yu asked: "Yan Xiang has always been smart and capable. Do you have a plan to solve the situation in the treasury now?"

    Yan Kai really wanted to say that Your Majesty, you can do less, but he dared not say it.

    "In order to enrich the national treasury, there are only two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure. The Ministry of Household carefully checks expenditures and increases income." Said: "Not long after His Majesty ascended the throne, it should be mainly to appease the hearts of the people. At this time, it is not appropriate to increase taxes."

    Shao Yu sometimes thinks that the late emperor is also a capable person. When he was about to get old, in order to clear the obstacles for his son's enthronement, he killed a lot of people, and those who stayed were either smart and alert. Those who judge the situation are either people like Yan Kai, who have stayed in the power field for a long time but still maintain a pure heart.

    "Your Majesty may wish to ask the Ministry of Household for a plan to see if there are any suitable means of open source. As for cost saving, most of the expenditure of the national treasury, except for the distribution of stipends, is spent on the frontier troops. , the frontier troops have been guarding the bitter and cold places all the year round, and if they are throttling, they may cause trouble. As for the salary and silver, I am ashamed to say that the old wife and several daughters-in-law in the minister's family all carry a lot of dowry. There are also farms and pavements, so the minister has never worried about the salary, but for those low-level officials, they still have to support their families, and the salary must not be reduced."

    What Yan Kai said is true, and Shao Yu has nothing to refute, just said: "Then Yan Xiang thinks, how to open source?"

    Yan Xiang really wanted to say whether these things could make the young people in the household think about it, but he didn't dare, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "It's better to take it strictly Commercial tax?"

    Shao Yu shook his head and said: "The business tax matter can't be rushed. Yan Xiang just said that you have a shop in your home, so you're not short of money. It's better than this, the Ministry of Household also opened a shop , open the biggest shop in the world, what do you think?"
