The Demon Concubine

Chapter 71

Views:

While Yao Yanyan was helping her majesty to proclaim her fame, His Majesty, the emperor with a broad mind and wise and martial arts, was facing the account book with shining eyes, counting the gold and silver jewelry copied from the house of Prime Minister Zhang.

"It's done! This time it's really done! I have saved 300,000 taels for so many years, and I can earn a million taels of gold by copying my home once! This old man in this chapter is so wicked and insatiable that he has searched so much. Duomin Zhimin anointed, it's all right now, these are my own!"

Feng Yuan stood by and watched, and when it was almost done, he coughed lightly.

His Majesty the Emperor kept his eyes on the account book, only waved his hand and said, "Aiqing will say if he has something to say, I'm listening!"

"Your Majesty, there are many job vacancies in the central and local areas. It is the time when talents are urgently needed. The minister suggested that it is time to open the department in advance." Feng Yuan said that the opening of the department is the imperial examination scholar. Daqi opens regular courses every three years. This year it just happened to be its turn. It’s just that the township examination was originally held in August, also known as Qiuwei, but now that there is a shortage of people in the central and local areas, it can only be opened in advance.

Feng Yuan said: "This time the Prime Minister Zhang's rebellion involved many officials in the central and local areas. These vacancies must be quickly filled." Otherwise, sooner or later, trouble will arise in the operation of the country.

His Majesty the Emperor nodded and continued to count the money, "Listen to Aiqing."

Feng Yuan glanced at him, sighed, and said, "Your Majesty, all these money must be put into the treasury, not you alone."

His Majesty the Emperor naturally tore a piece from the account book, and then said: "Is it a king's land in the whole world? The treasury also belongs to me. If I take some silver from the treasury, Ai Qing won't object?"

Feng Yuan:...

He really couldn't understand, the emperor of a country, who lacks everything, why is he so greedy for money

However, the emperor had a pure temperament and was good at accepting advice. Compared with these advantages, this small shortcoming is nothing to worry about. He persuaded himself, so he ignored the torn page of the account book, and handed the account book to the household department for liquidation. The household department Shangshu was liquidated, and saw that half a million taels of gold were found in the Prime Minister Zhang’s house. Surprised, this is something else.

At this moment, after Feng Yuan ordered the account book to be sent to the household department, he said to his majesty: "Your Majesty, Tai Fu, Yu Shi and others have been withdrawn due to collusion with the prime minister. Now, who should hold the positions of Tai Fu and Yu Shi? ?"

Although Tai Fu is only a false title now, this position has a relatively large influence on the emperor and cannot be taken lightly. As the position of supervising emperors and hundreds of officials, the selected person must be upright and not afraid of power. Otherwise, isn't the name of the imperial history nameless? The most troublesome problem for Daqi now is the lack of talents. No matter how powerful Feng Yuan is, it is impossible for one person to hold multiple jobs.

The matter of selecting officials can actually be solved by Feng Yuan. His Majesty also believes that with Feng Yuan's clever head, he will definitely find the most suitable candidate, but his idea just passed by, and he didn't really want it. It means that all will be dealt with by the Feng Yuan.

Otherwise, just like what Aifei said, what can I do if I create a second prime minister? His Majesty the Emperor felt that although he was not smart, he was not stupid enough to suffer the same losses and fall into the same somersaults.

So he put down the five hundred thousand taels of gold that had been torn from the account book, and sat at the desk in the royal study room for a moment.

"Take the post of Taifu to Prime Minister Lin!"

Now it's Lin Daru who teaches your Majesty's knowledge. Prime Minister Lin also serves as the Tai Fu, which is reasonable. After all, there is a real shortage of people now, Feng Yuan nodded.

"As for Yushi..." His Majesty thought about Yushi's duties, and suddenly said: "It's better to remove the post of Yushi and set up a supervision department, so that the people in the Anbu will turn from dark to light, and they will be stationed in the Supervision Department. People are my eyes and monitor for me whether there are corrupt officials and local officials!" Monitor for me to see if I have stolen my silver!

The people in Anbe were all brought by Feng Yuan. There were only a few dozen of them, and they were all selected from the Yulin army. These people had some martial arts, and they were more eloquent. They had two trainings. Months later, I already knew some methods of spying on news. According to Feng Yuan’s original idea, these people in the dark are not suitable for putting on the table, and there are hidden parts, some things that are not so fair. Someone can also do it. If someone is in the way of your majesty's great cause, they can be removed secretly, which will be more beneficial to the future of Qi.

Therefore, when he heard that your Majesty wanted to put the dark place on the bright side to establish the Supervision Department, Feng Yuan did not agree with him. He was about to admonish, but saw his Majesty wave his hand and said to him: "Aiqing does not need to persuade, I know you want to Keep the dark part."

Feng Yuan was taken aback for a moment, his Majesty actually saw through his thoughts! He looked at the young man who was sitting at the table with a calm face, and listened to him: "I think that people like Anbe are selected from the Yulin army after all. As they are, they are not suitable. It’s better to keep it in the dark for a long time. As for the original Anbu, I don’t want to abolish it. Instead, I intend to select some orphans from the people who have no father or mother."

His Majesty the emperor had this idea because when he was shopping with his concubine yesterday, he saw some pictures of little beggars who had no father and no mother being bullied. He was shocked at the time. The eldest of those children looked only eleven or twelve years old, but was covered in rags and was rejected by others. He saw the longing eyes of the children and wanted to untie the money bag and give it to them. Concubine Ai stopped.

His Majesty the Emperor remembered that Concubine Ai said at the time, "Your Majesty, these children have no fathers or mothers to wander around. You can just give them a bit of food, but giving them money will harm them."

His Majesty the Emperor was stunned, "Why? With silver, they can eat, wear, warm and have a place to live."

Ai Concubine looked helpless and said, "You gave them money, and they can't keep it. Maybe they will be beaten up by those city hooligans and take all the money away instead of thinking about giving it to them. Silver, it's better to find a job for them."

His Majesty the Emperor was a little angry at the time. Although these children are young, they are also his people. They will grow up and be strong in the future, but they will be able to make money for him to fight. Now he is being beaten and bullied at such a young age, in case he is killed. , Isn’t he missing a lot of people working in the future

But these beggars have no father or mother. If he builds a shantang to support them... His Majesty the Emperor feels a little distressed when he thinks of the money needed to build a shantang. Just today Feng Yuan talked about the vacancy of the Imperial History. His Majesty had an idea. It was decided to transfer the original people of Anbu to the upright Supervision Department, and then the original Anbu would not be abolished. Instead, they would find the beggars from the market and train them to fill the Anbu. In this way, both the children and the Anbu would be supported. With fresh blood, wouldn't it have the best of both worlds

Moreover, the Anbu belongs to the state, and is similar in nature to institutions like the Supervision Department, but only in the dark. In this way, the cost of raising these orphans will naturally be paid by the state treasury. No need for him to pay, but also some loyal and available manpower. His Majesty the Emperor is happy.

No matter how brilliant Feng Yuan is, it is impossible to count what his Majesty is thinking. He heard his Majesty say that he wants to use folks without fathers and mothers to fill the dark part. He was taken aback for a moment, and then he smiled and praised: "Your Majesty High opinion. The duties of Anbe are inconvenient to put in the bright place. The people originally selected from the Yulin army are indeed inappropriate. The method of choosing folk orphans is very good. Those orphans have no fathers and no mothers and no one to raise them. After being selected for training in Anbe, there are After learning how to eat, dress, and learn, he must be grateful to his Majesty for his loyalty and loyalty, and they will not have anything to do with them. They will not be resistant to being hidden in the dark, and they will certainly be more decisive and straightforward in carrying out their tasks."

For example, missions such as assassinations and undercover agents would be recognized by those Yulin troops, but it is different for those orphans who are nameless and have no surname to do it. They have nothing to do with them, even if they are caught. Nor will it be pinched by others to leak secrets.

After that, Feng Yuan again bowed to his Majesty, with a real admiration in his heart. Although his majesty was young and naive, he was really clever and considered things more and more thoughtful. He thought of his majesty too complicated at first, but later he thought too much of his majesty. It's simple.

I don’t know the Emperor Feng Yuan’s thoughts in his heart. Seeing that Feng Yuan was happy, he also smiled. He said in his heart: I guessed right, Feng Yuan really worried that I had withdrawn from Anbu, and now there are those orphans filling the Anbu. There was another person in Feng Yuan's hand, and he really became happy.

This monarch and a minister, thinking differently in their hearts, unexpectedly reached the same ending.

After dealing with the affairs of the day, he went to Nuan Pavilion to exercise as usual. Before leaving, he asked Father Gao to measure his height. Seeing his unchanged height, His Majesty the Emperor sighed heavily, and then went to Feiluan Palace.

After dinner, the couple exchanged ideas about what they did today.

His Majesty the Emperor heard Concubine Ai excitedly say that many people saw her off today, and he couldn't help showing a bit of envy.

"This is probably what Mr. Yixin said that all people are home to one's heart!"

Yao Yanyan nodded and took hold of her Majesty’s hand and said: "Your Majesty, it turns out that it is not difficult to get popular support! I can do it, and you can definitely do it too! Mr. Yixin said that if you can gather the support of the whole country, it is considered a strong enemy Don't be afraid to come here, there are so many people protecting us!"

His Majesty the Emperor nodded, "So in addition to training troops to fight against Chen Guo's accident, we have to gather the hearts of the people." He said, his eyes lit up, "If we can gather the hearts of Chen Guomin to our Qi, then wouldn't Chen Guo be self-defeating. ?"

Before that, the two only wanted to save their lives when the powerful enemy Chen Guo attacked. This was the first time that they boldly wanted to capture Chen Guo!

The two were extremely excited, lying in the middle of the night, began to discuss in a low voice how to fix the people's hearts, and fell asleep unknowingly as they talked.

Perhaps it was because she had spoken too much to the Yao family during the day, and Yao Yanyan had dreamed of being a child that night when she was still struggling to survive in the hands of Yao Li.

In her dream, she returned to the summer when she was seven years old. Yao Li asked her to stand under the sun with a basin full of water. It was very hot. She had no shoes to wear and was burned by the slate floor. I couldn't bear it, but just shook it slightly, and the water basin over my head sprinkled water, and was beaten by the cane held by the mother who was watching.

When she was a child, she was inexplicably high-spirited, so she directly poured water on the mother's face, and smashed the mother with a basin, and then ran to the mother. Unfortunately, her mother was cowardly and failed. To protect her, she only told her, don't fight against your mistress, don't fight with your sister-in-law, you are a concubine, you have to be obedient, you have to let the mistress like you, and the mistress will give you a good marriage in the future.

Good marriages belong to Yao Yanyan, and Yao Yanyan does not believe that Yao Li will be good to her. She has been incompatible with that family since she was born. Her father scolded her for disobedience, and the mistress hated her for not knowing the rules. Her mother felt that she was disobedient, and she seemed to be someone who shouldn't appear...

"Ai Concubine..."

This sound seemed to break through the fog of sunlight, and instantly rescued her from the nightmare. Yao Yanyan came to her senses. She opened her eyes and looked at her majesty tenderly.

Seeing him lying on his side facing him, while sleeping, he muttered something to himself.

Hey, Your Majesty really loves me so much, and he is calling me in his dream.

Yao Yanyan thought so, and leaned over, her ears pressed against her majesty's mouth, wanting to hear what he was talking about.

Just listen to your majesty muttering: "Ai Concubine... Don't... Don't grab my pig's feet..."

Yao Yanyan:...

She calmed down, then grabbed your Majesty's finger and stuffed it into his own mouth.
