Please, let me be a fool

Chapter 44 The Imperial Council

On this day, Wei Yunyi got up early.

After breakfast.

First, I went to the alchemy room, which was well furnished.

All kinds of things have been prepared, and there is also a pill furnace inside, which was left by Emperor Gaozong.

Then, he ordered people to prepare the medicinal materials for refining Xiaohuandan, because Wang Jin went to Longyang Mansion to deal with Li Fang's matter, so Wei Yunyi was not used to it for a while.

After all, this person is quick-witted, smart, and able to handle affairs, so he is much more comfortable serving him than other young eunuchs.

But everyone has already left, it is impossible to call the other party back, right?

Besides, Wei Yunyi was still looking forward to Wang Jin making a big fuss about Li Fang.

This can cause turmoil in the court.

Use this to ruin your luck.

That's what matters most now.

After checking the alchemy room, Wei Yunyi went directly to the imperial study room.

As early as yesterday, he had told Zhao Lingying that he could take a day off.

Of course, this is not what I want to see, but today is the time for the imperial meeting.

The imperial meeting, as the name suggests, is a meeting to be held in front of the emperor.As for the officials who can be present, unless there are special circumstances, only the cabinet bachelors can participate, and the place is in the imperial study.

As for the cabinet bachelors, almost all of them hold monstrous power and belong to the leading figures in various ministries.

The imperial meeting of the Great Wei Dynasty was established as early as the Taizu period.

It must be held once a month.

The purpose is to let the cabinet members summarize the major events that happened last month,

At the same time, make a plan for the next month. In simple terms, it is equivalent to a month-end summary.

In fact, Wei Yunyi has no interest in these things, and even thought about abolishing them directly.

After all, if this is the case, maybe you can still gain a wave of stupid king value.

However, he had better plans.

Hasn't the old man been promoted to the position of second assistant in the cabinet?

The other party has been participating in the performance, and there must be resentment in his heart, so he has to support him and let the other party's role play out.

Soon, Wei Yunyi came to the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw five cabinet scholars standing neatly by the side.The one in the middle is Zhang Zhengming, the Taifu of the current court and the chief minister of the cabinet.

Beside him were three other cabinet members, and Song Gongwen stood at the farthest, as if he was out of tune with the others.

Obviously, even though he has been in the cabinet for some time, he still has not integrated into it.

Just like in Dali Temple, he was ignored and excluded by his colleagues.

"See Your Majesty!"

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor's arrival, the five cabinet scholars bowed and cupped their hands.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, no matter whether civil servants or military generals, as long as it is not an important occasion, there is no need to kneel down and worship.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi nodded, walked to the top dragon chair, and said: "You dear ladies, please sit down."

The Grand Master bowed his hands and said yes, and then proceeded in order according to the ranking.But the strange thing is that Song Gongwen took over Li Fang's position, the second person in the cabinet, but he sat at the back.

This is also normal, ranking is ranking, it does not represent prestige, and everyone else has been a bachelor for many years.

Even though they are not as good as Song Gongwen on the surface, they are senior and should be seated at the top.

Unless he can make some great achievements, he can only rely on it.

At this time, Wei Yunyi was also observing his father-in-law.

I also met several times at court meetings.

But because of the distance, I can't see clearly.

How should I put it, he does look like a serious scholar.

The eyebrows and eyes are also somewhat similar to the queen, but it's just the temperament, something is wrong.

It's not like Zhang Zhengming at all. He looks like a famous minister and good minister. To put it simply, he looks very smooth.

Even the other three Cabinet Grand Masters are not comparable, and their momentum is also a bit shorter.

Wei Yunyi felt relieved, not afraid that the father-in-law is capable.

I'm afraid he's not mediocre enough.

well.

Next, I can rest assured to entrust you with the burden of destroying luck!

Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi glanced around, and then said softly: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and then it was a normal process. For example, a scholar said that a certain place in the south was hit by a flood and needed money for relief, and there was also a drought in the northwest region, which also needed money.

In general, almost everything is inseparable from money, which is also normal, money is a good thing and has many uses.

Especially for governing a huge country, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

Fortunately, before the Great Wei Dynasty, there were four generations of heroes who used various methods to make every effort to govern.

So now the treasury can still be regarded as full of money.

To deal with minor disasters and disasters in the local area.

Not a problem at all.

Of course, that's all.

Because during the period of the first emperor, he experienced several wars and consumed a lot of money.

In fact, the money in the national treasury will not be used for too long, and it may be gone in a catastrophe.

At this time, several cabinet ministers also used this excuse to quarrel.

But as before, nothing is certain.

In the end, I can only say.

Is there any way to save some money?

After all, compared with open source, throttling is relatively simpler.

Faced with these words, Wei Yunyi just nodded silently from time to time.

Just kidding, even if he knew there was a way to increase finances, he would never say it.

Because once the economy is brought up, isn't luck going up?This is not what he wants.

In this way, half an hour passed before everyone gave up on this topic.

But the imperial meeting was not over.

Because at this time, a cabinet scholar and minister of the Ministry of War came out and said one thing.

That is, recently, the number of northern prairie tribes going south has become more frequent than before, and several teams almost crossed the border. Although they did not cause much damage, they injured a large number of soldiers.

General Zhenbei also asked the Ministry of War to find a way to distribute some silver taels because of this incident, as a pension.

Hearing this, Wei Yunyi's heart moved.

General Zhenbei, isn't that the eldest brother of the imperial concubine, his own brother-in-law?

You know, the other party is the son of Marquis Shenwu. After a famous family, he is said to be the person who may succeed Marquis Shenwu in the end.

And the succession here is not a title, because the Taizu Emperor Gao had already given the Marquis of Shenwu a family, and bestowed the honor of hereditary succession.

So the so-called succession, but the influence, the future No.1 will be the big Wei.

However, Wei Yunyi didn't care about these things.

Instead, he heard the other party's subtext.

Got it!

Going around and around, it came to the money again.

So the plot just now was staged again at this time.

Several cabinet maesters started a new round of debate, but it was still the same old routine.

However, during this period, neither Zhang Zhengming nor Song Gongwen spoke.

Zhang Zhengming and Wei Yunyi could understand that the other party was the chief assistant of the cabinet, and would not engage in this kind of debate at all, and would only say a few words at the end.

But why is the old man so silent?

Immediately, he was ready to ask.

But at this moment, Song Gongwen stood up first, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I do have a way to increase fiscal revenue, colleagues can also listen to it."

Chapter 45 Old Man, You Stab Me in the Back

Song Gongwen's voice just fell.

The entire imperial study room fell silent.

The three cabinet bachelors stopped having friendly exchanges.

Qi Shushu turned to look at Song Gongwen.

Only Zhang Zhengming, the chief assistant of the cabinet, still squinted his eyes and sat firmly on Mount Tai.

As for Wei Yunyi, he looked expectant.

Just when I was about to ask you, you said it yourself.

Old man, you are very sensible.

Of course, what he expected was not to think that the other party could really come up with some way to increase financial revenue.

You know, the other three bachelors have been important ministers for many years, their abilities are quite good, and they are all thoughtful, but they can only think of ways to save some money.

How long has Song Gongwen been in office?I'm afraid I haven't even figured out the affairs of the household department.

Plus the name of mediocrity known to the court.

Can you come up with any good solution?

Wei Yunyi didn't believe it at all.

The reason for looking forward to it is that the other party can come up with some bad ideas.

It is best to be the kind that is opposed by everyone, and I choose to strongly support it.

In this way, the country's destiny can be better ruined.

Immediately, he looked at the other party and said kindly with a smile on his face: "Oh? The abbot is free to talk and listen."

In fact, although Song Gongwen was the queen's father, his status was not high and his prestige was not high before. Compared with the name of the king, the officials in the court actually recognized the other one more, that is, Marquis Shenwu.

But for this so-called head of the country, he just showed some face, and he didn't care about it in private.

And Wei Yunyi called Song Gongwen like this to tell everyone how much he valued him.

Sure enough, the few grand scholars present frowned when they heard this.

But no one dared to say anything at this time.

But Song Gongwen couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and a strange look appeared on his face.

Because since his daughter entered the palace and became a queen, this is the first time he has heard the title of the head of the country, and it is still in His Majesty's mouth.

What kind of trust and support is this!
