The emperor stared straight at Ye Chang upon hearing this.
Ye Chang looked at the emperor calmly, "You know, in order to understand my heat poisoning, all her skills were wasted, but she has a restless temper. If I don't take her by my side to watch every day, even She stayed in the mansion and stayed obediently, but I couldn't see her, so I always worried about what would happen to her. In this way, I can't concentrate on doing things all day long, and the things you entrusted to me Things will not work well.”
The emperor was speechless to refute for a while, and looked at Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan leaned on the low couch and blinked innocently at the emperor, which meant that he was just worried and it was none of her business.
The emperor stared at Ye Chang for a while, and said to Ye Chang, "I told you long ago that you are in charge of the household department. Su Yatou is a woman. If you take her with you every day, the officials in the government and the opposition may complain."
Ye Chang heard the words, "You asked her to make weapons in secret, and you never got the approval of officials from the government and the public, did you? The Minister of the Ministry of War and Master Zhou of the Military Weapons Supervision are convinced by her. Since she is a woman, you have already She shouldn't be involved in weapons, and she shouldn't be allowed to wear armor on the battlefield when Northern Zhou invaded Yanbei, and she shouldn't have sent out a decree for her to join me in negotiating peace with Northern Zhou. When she was doing these important things, no one in the world knew her Is it a woman? When she was defending her family and defending her country with all her might, why did no one criticize her? Now she is seriously injured and needs my care, but she follows me everywhere, not involved in the affairs of the court, and is my little girl. It's just a follower, so that the officials in the ruling and the opposition will criticize?"
The emperor choked suddenly.
Su Fengnuan smiled secretly, thinking about talking about kung fu, who can compare with Ye Chang? She had already been taught.
Ye Chang looked at the emperor, "If you don't agree, then forgive me and I won't be able to enter the court. I am the heir of the Rong'an Palace, and I have a hereditary salary. Yi Lao..."
"Nonsense!" The emperor suddenly said angrily, "It's the time when the court is employing people, how dare you let me sit idle and wait to die? Dreaming."
Ye Chang looked at him, "Then you should agree to it quickly, so as not to waste any more words."
The emperor was so choked up that he couldn't speak, he looked at Su Fengnuan again, Su Fengnuan stuck out his tongue playfully at him, the emperor laughed angrily, and pointed at Ye Chang, "Okay, brat, now you dare Did you bully me? Do you really think there is nothing I can do about you?"
Ye Chang shook his head, "Don't dare, you are the emperor, trampling me to death is like trampling an ant to death, you let me go east, I dare not go west. You sent someone to wake me up from the bed early in the morning, I just I can come here obediently, without daring to delay..."
The emperor snorted, "It's nonsense, when have you ever been afraid of me? You even compared yourself to an ant. Is there such an arrogant ant?"
Ye Chang smiled and said, "Yes, there are everywhere in the world, very arrogant."
The emperor stared.
Su Fengnuan rejoiced at the side, and said to the emperor, "Your majesty, haven't you seen that when he was negotiating peace with Bei Zhou, how ugly did he make the princess and the prime minister of Bei Zhou so angry? If he hadn't been so arrogant, he wouldn't have Convinced Bei Zhou, demoralized him, and agreed to our terms."
Hearing this, the emperor also thought of this happy event, and the anger that had surged up for a while dissipated like that, and said with a smile, "Su girl, don't you find me a step down, I don't know how much I have been angry with him for so many years." Next time, how can you not know the nature and temper of this bastard? Princess Beizhou and the prime minister will naturally suffer when they meet him."
Su Fengnuan said with a smile, "In that case, you agree to him, I promise to only be his little follower, no chaos, no trouble. You see, with my current body, who else can I fight with?" ? What else can it cause?"
The emperor snorted twice and said, "I originally wanted to let you live well for a while, and then continued to focus on the weapons of the Military Supervision Department. Now that you are his little follower, how can you help me?" Staring at the Arms Supervision and the Nufang Department?"
Su Fengnuan laughed and said, "In the past few days since I left Beijing, it is said that the Military Weapons Supervision and Nufang Department have not made any major mistakes, and everything is going smoothly. With the Minister of the Ministry of War and Mr. Zhou here, the Military Weapons Supervision and Nufang Department can rest in peace. Don't worry, I won't be needed anymore. What's more, I'm a woman who always deals with weapons. It's not very good. In the past, I was in a hurry and no one could do it. The emperor entrusted it to me. Now someone Available, the emperor will let me heal my wounds with peace of mind."
Ye Chang took it and said, "She is useless in martial arts now, if I still leave things to her, I don't feel at ease."
The emperor raised his mustache and said to Ye Chang, "I know, you can rest assured only if you put her under your nose, right?"
Ye Chang smiled and nodded, "Exactly."
The emperor waved his hand helplessly, "Forget it, I will obey you." After saying that, he took out a token from his arms and threw it to Su Fengnuan, "Little girl, please keep it safe, don't lose it."
Just as Su Fengnuan was about to reach out to pick it up, Ye Chang was probably afraid that the token would hit her, so he reached out and took it in his hand first. After a glance, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, and handed it to Su Fengnuan.
After Su Fengnuan took the token, she saw the words "If I come in person" engraved on the token, she was startled secretly, and said to the emperor, "I just need a token that is convenient for walking in and out with Ye Chang, and you Give me this, it's too… ”
The emperor said indifferently, "Since I gave it to you, stop talking nonsense and take it."
Su Fengnuan was not a person who talked nonsense at all, so he put it away after hearing the words.
After the three of them chatted a few more gossips, the emperor began to talk about political affairs with Ye Chang, because Su Fengnuan was not an ignorant girl, and she had done many important things for the court, so the emperor naturally did not shy away from her in these political affairs and let her Listen on the sidelines.
When Su Fengnuan was not involved in the matter, he was an unqualified listener. He heard that the emperor asked Ye Chang to join the household department from tomorrow. No., the position is higher than the Minister of the Household Department, and can supervise and supervise all affairs of the Household Department. After listening for a while, she fell asleep.
She sleeps silently, does not snore, does not disturb others, and is very obedient.
Ye Chang noticed her right away when she fell asleep, glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, and then continued to discuss with the emperor how the household department should supervise and manage the rectification.
The Ministry of Households is in charge of the national household registration, income and expenditure of financial resources, budget, land books, minted currency, taxation, etc. It is the key to the national treasury. No matter what policies the whole country implements to benefit the people's livelihood, it must be handled by the Ministry of Households.
In recent years, Nan Qi has been prosperous and prosperous, but the national treasury has been empty in recent years. It has to be said that the poor management of the Ministry of Households is a major reason. Over the years, the Minister of the Household Department has changed one after another, but they can't manage the Household Department. The root cause is also the root cause of the ruling and opposition parties. Disaster relief funds are allocated every year, but there is no effect. Every year, disaster relief is still needed in various places. Where there is flood, drought, snow, wind, and locusts Disasters, how many fertile fields and people were flooded where the dams burst, etc., all need disaster relief, and the household department is dragged down every year.
In the war in Yanbei, there is no need for much grain and grass in Beijing. In the war in the west, the Ministry of Households can no longer afford food, grass and military pay. Thanks to the grain and grass that Su Fengnuan prepared earlier, and the grain and grass that Ye Chang robbed two granaries in Liuyang City. , as well as the food and military pay that Xu Yunchu vigorously supervised. After the war was over, Northern Zhou Yihe sent 1.9 million taels of gold, which filled one-third of the national treasury. However, if the huge Southern Qi was not rectified from the source, the gold would only be able to relieve several disasters. If you can't make ends meet, sooner or later it will be a scourge.
This is the emperor's first priority after shelving the war in Yanbei, the war in the west, and the matter of the Ye family in the south of the Yangtze River and the King of Xiangjun. After thinking about it, Ye Chang had to do it.
Ye Chang is the son of Prince Rong An's family. King Rong An and his concubine died in battle. Although he has been a fool for so many years and has no business affairs, his reputation was really bad when he was the worst bastard. Ye Shizi of Prince An's Mansion reciprocated kindness and hope.
In addition, now he and Su Fengnuan are in love with each other, and everyone in the world praises him. Su Fengnuan is the daughter of General Su, and General Su is also admired and respected by the people. In terms of reputation and current reputation, Whether it's the residence of Prince Rong An, or the residence of General Su, whether it's Ye Chang, or Su Fengnuan, whom he is about to marry, all the people are convinced.
Ye Chang is no longer what it used to be. The case of concubine Yue was broken, which caused a sensation in the government and the public, and shocked all the officials. In the western region, he joined forces with Su Fengnuan to make Bei Zhou cede the land and pay compensation, and he had to bear the burden of humiliation. He is young and has made a lot of contributions. If coupled with the emperor's love and reuse, he is already enough to support the Rong'an Palace and the Ministry of Households.
Regarding entering the household department, the emperor had made it clear to Ye Chang a long time ago, but now he has no opinion, so he discussed with the emperor about the current situation in Southern Qi and the internal rectification of the household department. This discussion took half a day.
At noon, Koizumi reminded softly outside, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch. The Empress Dowager sent someone to hear that Ye Shizi and Miss Su had entered the palace, and asked if the Emperor could spare time to take them to Ci'an Palace Going to lunch?"
Hearing this, the emperor thought of Su Fengnuan beside him. Su Fengnuan was still asleep, sleeping deeply and soundly.
Ye Chang was reluctant to wake her up, and said to the emperor, "Let's go to Ci'an Palace another day. Even if you wake her up now, it's warm here, and she's sweating a little. It's inevitable that she'll go out to the Empress Dowager's place, and she'll be caught in the cold along the way." .”
The emperor nodded, and said to the outside, "Go and answer the queen mother in person, and say that today I have something important to discuss with Ye Shizi, and they will go to greet the queen mother when they enter the palace again." After saying that, he said again, "There is no rush for lunch, just wait a little longer."
Koizumi should be, and hurried to go.
