The emperor is embarrassed

Song Zhuyu is not tall, but she has a strong accent, with a little accent from northern Shaanxi.

"Your Majesty, although Fang Yushi was at fault for lax control of his subordinates, I believe that the key point of this case is that the evil slaves deceived the master, and eventually killed people." Song Zhuyu said loudly, "Fang Yushi was wrong and innocent. Thinking of Fang Yushi’s contribution to exposing the disaster relief case in the imperial capital before, and now he is helping the disaster together with my ministers, all of them are doing their best and loving the people like a son. Please also see Fang Yushi’s contribution to the court, and punish him lightly.”

Ming Zhan listened quietly. After Fang Shenxing finished speaking, he did not draw a conclusion directly. Instead, he cast his eyes on Li Pingzhou and asked, "What does Xiang Li think?"

Li Pingzhou is fair-minded, even though he doesn't like Fang Shenxing very much, but in this case, Fang Shenxing is indeed somewhat wronged.After thinking about it, Li Pingzhou said, "According to my humble opinion, Fang Yushi has made mistakes now, and he has made meritorious service in the past. It is unnecessary to dismiss the official and resign. He will be demoted to a third level and stay in the post. Then order Fang Yushi to appease and compensate the tenants for the loss of silver. effect."

Ming Zhan nodded, with a flat voice, "Just do as Li Xiang said."

After going to court, Ming Zhan and Ruan Hongfei shared breakfast.

Seeing that Ming Zhan was eating without looking up, Ruan Hongfei asked him, "Is there anything unpleasant in the morning?" If others are unhappy, they can't eat or drink, and they are very self-abuse.Ming Zhan is the complete opposite, he usually has a good appetite.If you get angry in your heart, your appetite will double immediately, like a pig, eating on the table non-stop.

A round face wished it could be stuck in the porridge bowl.

Ming Zhan let out a "huh", stuck a beef ball with the tip of his chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and handed the porridge bowl to Ruan Hongfei, "It's nothing, I just feel that being an emperor is no different from being an emperor." During the meal, the two of them were very tired and crooked, and Ming Zhan secretly didn't need someone to serve him.But Ming Zhan insisted that it is only natural for a wife to provide food for her husband.Although he often made Ruan Hongfei's sore back, backache, buttocks, and legs were sore, and the lining was gone, he still had to save face.Therefore, he always asked Ruan Hongfei to feed him.

"It depends on how to say it. If the emperors are all the same, there will be no distinction between the wise and the weak." Ruan Hongfei added half a bowl of porridge to Ming Zhan, and Ming Zhan was dissatisfied, "It's full, I'm not full yet. "

"Take it easy, it's already the second bowl, and you ate those steamed buns earlier. In a peaceful and prosperous world, if you support the emperor to death, you will become famous." Ruan Hongfei handed it to Ming Zhan, seeing that Xiaopang lacked confidence, Comforting him, "Let me tell you, even though you are stupid, you are better than a bitch."

Is this called human talk?Ming Zhan shook his hand and almost threw half a bowl of porridge back on Ruan Hongfei's hateful face.Of course, even if he had the heart, Ming Zhan didn't have the courage.Even if he had the guts, he couldn't bear it.How handsome his Fei Feisheng is, forget it, just say a few words, as a pure old man, you have to be gracious.Ming Zhan hummed, "I'm stupid, I'm stupid, you just like me, what can I do?" Ruan Hongfei spoke.

Ruan Hongfei sighed, "It's really rare for an emperor to be as useless as you."

First scolding him for being stupid, and now calling him useless, Ming Zhan felt that he might be abandoned by his lover in a few days.Thinking of this, Ming Zhan felt a sense of crisis, and said hurriedly, "What do you call useless? I'm speaking from experience. You don't know, before when I watched my father go to court, I just sat on the head like a Bodhisattva. The minister told me , Father didn’t make up his mind either, just ask Li Pingzhou, Xu San and the others. I’m annoyed, you think, you man, I’m such an independent person. How can I ask these old men to give me an opinion.”

Speaking of this, Ming Zhan gulped two mouthfuls of fish porridge before venting, "But I realized that I am in charge of everything and don't ask them. Li Pingzhou and the others don't say anything, and they have big opinions in their hearts. Sigh, if I ask them something, they will You are very motivated. I will not speak now when I go to court, thinking about it, I am exactly the same as my father back then."

"The emperor doesn't have to do everything by himself." Ruan Hongfei didn't have any sympathy for Ming Zhan, and said, "If you want to make up your mind about everything, what do you want the courtiers to do? You just need to grasp the general direction and learn how to employ people." That's it."

Ming Zhan sighed, "What Fang Shen did, it looks like someone is messing with him behind his back. Alas, I know it well, but I can't stand up and uphold justice for him."

"However, since what happened to Li Cheng, I have figured it out. I am good to people and think of them in everything, but sometimes things can backfire." Ming Zhan stirred the porridge in the bowl, "Like Li Cheng, if he Since the seventh-rank official climbed up to the position of the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs step by step, I am afraid that there will be no disaster today. Although I feel sorry for Fang Shen's wrongdoing, I don't want to ask any more. If he doesn't even care about this matter It’s not sure, no matter how much I value him and give him a high seat, I’m afraid he won’t be able to sit still.”

Ruan Hongfei smiled slightly and jokingly said, "Seeing that you are usually heartless, you have a lot of things on your mind."

"You still think I'm so stupid." Ming Zhan glanced at Ruan Hongfei and muttered, "Oh, I'm pretending to be a Buddha in the early morning, and I can't say anything in my stomach, which makes me really uncomfortable."

"You can see that Fang Shenxing's case has a ghost, so can't Li Pingzhou and the others see it?" Ruan Hongfei had already used up his chopsticks and said, "These old people look serious, but they don't see the heart in their stomachs. It is less than you. The courtiers are for you to use, and they will be happy if you use them. Whether you can use them or not is up to you."

"You don't have any calculations at all when you do things. Let's take the matter of your Ministry of Integrity as an example. Suddenly, there is another one in addition to the six. Although you have a good heart, this matter is really inappropriate." Ruan Hongfei sometimes finds it hard to understand. Zhan's behavior is completely irregular, and sometimes Ruan Hongfei can't even guess what is going on in Ming Zhan's weird head.In Ruan Hongfei's eyes, Ming Zhan's behavior is really no different from that of a wild boar, he has no sense of direction at all, and goes on a rampage, which is hard to understand.

Ming Zhan was also worried about the Ministry of Integrity, and when he heard his family Fei Fei take the initiative to mention it, he hurriedly asked for advice, "What's wrong with the Ministry of Integrity?"

Ruan Hongfei asked back, "If it is appropriate, why is no one paying attention to you? As for Ziyao and Shen Xiaobai, it's nothing more than running the royal newspaper for you. Being an official is completely a layman, but it's just a sham."

Ruan Hongfei and Ming Zhan have been together for a long time, and they have also learned to give people nicknames, like Shen Zhuoyan. Shen Zhuoyan married a capable wife, and she became even more inconspicuous in the imperial capital.As a result, Ruan Hongfei named him Shen Xiaobai.

Ming Zhan grinned when he heard this, "Don't bark, Shen Zhuoyan's luck, ordinary people really don't have it."

"No, God loves stupid people." Like Ruan Hongfei himself, he looks talented, has everything, but has no luck.Seeing this kind of Xiaobai at first glance, luck is still so good, it's no wonder that Ruan Hongfei finds Shen Zhuoyan pleasing to the eye.

Ming Zhan giggled for a while, stopped eating, ordered someone to carry the dining table out, took Ruan Hongfei's hand and touched it again and again, showing a lustful face, and said with a smile, "Come on, Aifei, don't follow you Husband has sold the lawsuit, so tell me what to do with the work of the Ministry of Integrity. Just spread the word about these two, your husband's face is really dull."

Ruan Hongfei took out his hand, squeezed Ming Zhan's moist face, deliberately hung Ming Zhan, and said in amazement, "It's almost raised, eat less in the future."

"Let's get down to business, get down to business." Ming Zhan urged.

Slapping Ming Zhan's butt, Ruan Hongfei took a look at He Yu who came in with tea.Ming Zhan immediately took the tea in He Yu's hand, and shouted at He Yu, "Go out, don't come in if you have nothing to do."

He Yu stepped back lightly, thinking, Your Majesty, seeing how flattering you are, our slaves will also lose face.

Ming Zhan waited for Ruan Hongfei to drink a cup of tea, and then he heard Ruan Hongfei say in a fairy tone, "For now."

Ming Zhan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, snatched back the teacup angrily, drank all the tea himself, and gave Ruan Hongfei a sip, "Are you kidding me?"

"Listen to me." Stretching out his hand to hook Mingzhan's old waist, Ruan Hongfei hugged him in his arms, and said calmly, "Think about it, if you add another Ministry of Integrity to the Sixth Department of the Central Committee, then It is the seventh one. In this way, the current situation in the court will be broken immediately, Minister of the Ministry of Integrity, who do you plan to find as the post?"

"No matter who is in charge of this minister, and you personally lead it, then the new minister of the Ministry of Integrity and Government will definitely leap ahead of the other six ministers. Even Li Pingzhou, who is the prime minister, will give him three points. "Ruan Hongfei glanced at Ming Zhan and said, "Li Pingzhou and the others don't want to see such a situation. According to you, you have just ascended the throne for less than a year. Successful completion is already a remarkable achievement. But you suddenly created the Ministry of Integrity and Government, and since the Ministry of Integrity and Government is here, where did you put the former Yushitai?"

Speaking of this, Ruan Hongfei shook his head and sighed, "Your head is really different."

Ming Zhan was quite convinced after hearing Ruan Hongfei's detailed explanation.However, in front of your lover, you have to pretend to be reasonable, so Ming Zhan straightened his waist, raised his head and said, "That is, who can compare the head of an ordinary person with me?" Otherwise, how can I get Xiao Feifei? Woolen cloth.Thinking of this, Ming Zhan couldn't help laughing strangely.

Ruan Hongfei seemed to agree somewhat, nodded, but what he said was particularly irritating, "Indeed, there are not many people as stupid as you."

Ming Zhan was about to turn his back on him and find out that he had lost his chance. Ruan Hongfei had stolen his ultimate move.Ruan Hongfei had already pinched Xiao Xiaozhan through Ming Zhan's pants, with a little smile in his flying peach eyes, imitating Ming Zhan's hooligan tone, threatening without any sincerity, "If you don't obey me, I will crush your ass!" Eggs."

Ming Zhan nearly choked to death with a mouthful of old blood stuck in his throat.

Ming Zhan got Ruan Hongfei's advice, so he temporarily put the matter of the Ministry of Integrity on hold.

However, Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan signed up, and Ming Zhan instructed them to act as usual and declare their property.

Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan became No. 1 in the history of Dafeng Dynasty's property declaration and left a long history.

Wei Ziyao, as one of the sponsors of the Royal Newspaper, logically speaking, Wei Ziyao should be the first to join the Royal Newspaper.However, because Wei Ziyao's private life is really mediocre.Moreover, this person does not have any notable deeds in history.Therefore, historians habitually left him out.

However, this person's luck is not so good. Ordinary people don't have this kind of luck if they want to live forever.The history of newspapers and periodicals does not praise Wei Ziyao very much, but he is mentioned repeatedly in the history of the ICAC, which is quite embarrassing.

Wei Ziyao and Shen Zhuoyan officially became members of the Ministry of Integrity, but Ming Zhan changed the Ministry of Integrity to the Department of Integrity.

He also communicated with Li Pingzhou and others. Ming Zhan said in a meeting with the cabinet in the morning, "The Tatars came, what kind of life did we live in the city? The soldiers guarded the peace of the world with their flesh and blood. Now There are people who even want to take the money of the fallen soldiers. I am so angry that I vomit blood."

Li Pingzhou turned pale with shock, and said with concern, "If your Majesty's dragon body is not in good condition, please send the imperial doctor for consultation. Although the state affairs are important, the dragon body must not be delayed!"

When Li Pingzhou said this, Xu San and the others agreed one after another.Thinking that the emperor is still so young, and the youth vomits blood, it is unknown.Although in political matters, Ming Zhan was like a possessed body of the Taizu when he was wise, and occasionally went crazy, although they couldn't understand, Ming Zhan was a restrained person.In general, the emperor is not difficult to get along with.Therefore, they were also particularly concerned about the emperor's body.

Ming Zhan waved his hand, "I mean I was so angry that I wanted to vomit blood, but I didn't really vomit, so don't worry."

The corners of Li Pingzhou's lips twitched and twitched, and he said: Your Majesty, can you speak clearly!People are scary, scary to death!

Ouyang Ke was even more speechless, picking Ming Zhan's fault, "Please call yourself my Majesty."

Ming Zhan glanced at Ouyang Ke, and continued to talk about serious business, "Oh, now you guys, I know. I can trust your integrity. However, I can't see what's going on outside. You are also listening to the people. It’s just passed on from ear to ear. I’ve thought about the matter of the Ministry of Integrity and Government. Now the six ministries of the central government are the rules passed down from my ancestors. Anti-corruption and upholding integrity, but I don’t plan to make it as big as the six ministries. Or, the Yushitai is already rumored to play things, and if the Ministry of Clean Government is set up, the mission will not be as important as the Yushitai. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste of manpower to send two departments at the same time?"

When Ming Zhan said this, a stone in Li Pingzhou's heart suddenly flew into the air, and they felt a lot more relaxed, and they all shouted Shengming.

It's not that they intend to oppose Ming Zhan, think about it, which courtier likes the Jinyiwei East and West Factory?Literati habitually hate those.Furthermore, the Ministry of Integrity?

With a word, as Ruan Hongfei said, should there be a seventh in addition to the six.And this department is directly under the command of His Majesty, so its status will definitely be superior to the other six departments.

This makes today's six ministers, how can they be convinced?

Courtiers are human too.

Don't look at Tian Tian long live long live long live shouting, if something really happens, Ming Zhan has to give them face.

What's more, Ming Zhan had to give up three points.Ming Zhan said, "I think about it, let's change the Ministry of Integrity to the Department of Integrity."

Although the difference is only one word, its scale is heaven and earth.At least if the Secretary of the Anti-corruption re-enters, the rank of the leader here is fixed, and he absolutely cannot be compared with the six ministers.

The emperor has already given in a step, according to Ming Zhan's temper, it is already rare.

Like when Ming Zhan wanted to build Tianjin Port, none of the six ministers agreed.Ming Zhan also said that he would build a navy, and the six ministers thought he was talking in his sleep.

Not to mention anything else, when Ming Zhan came to the throne at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there were only tens of millions of silver in the treasury.

But Ming Zhan can get things done!

And you have to be convinced.

They all have a deep understanding of Ming Zhan's means and perseverance.

At this time, Ming Zhan was able to take this step back in the matter of the Ministry of Integrity, even though the Ministry of Integrity was changed to the Secretary for Integrity, it was enough to make Li Pingzhou and the others moved and grateful.

When meeting such a powerful emperor as Ming Zhan, no courtier is willing to confront him head-on.But sometimes, courtiers have to stand on the opposite side of the emperor when it comes to matters of interest and principle.

Ming Zhan's meaning was very clear. Li Pingzhou could no longer be ignorant of current affairs, so he asked, "Your Majesty, the two lords Wei and Chen are only fifth-rank officials. I don't know who your Majesty plans to appoint as the chief officer of the Department of Integrity?"

"I thought, the official rank of the Secretary for Integrity is the third rank. As for who will be the official, I haven't thought about it for a while? Do you have any candidates to recommend to me." Ming Zhan said softly, "It is Zi Yao and Zhuo Yan and Er, they used to run royal newspapers. Because there were no suitable seats for them before, they were temporarily ordered to hang under the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's just that the royal newspapers are not my private property. Livelihood. I thought, put them in the Department of Integrity."

Ming Zhan asked humbly about the candidates for the ICAC, Li Pingzhou and others didn't have any good recommendations for a while.Li Pingzhou was old-fashioned, and said carefully, "Your Majesty, if the evaluation of officials in February next year, those who have served for more than three years, they must return to the emperor's capital to greet you. Your Majesty will read it personally. If there is a suitable person, you might as well select him for the Commissioner of Integrity." The matter was pushed to February next year.

Ming Zhan smiled.

Li Pingzhou and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Ming Zhan suddenly changed his attitude. Although the few people were not used to it, it was definitely a great thing. It would be better if they put more effort into their missions so that the emperor could rely on them more.

In fact, although the status of the emperor is high, sitting in the golden palace, most of the time it only serves as a deterrent.Even if you are mediocre, as long as you are a loyal minister and good general, the country's safety and prosperity are no problem.

Of course, it would be better if you meet Mingjun.

However, it is not easy for the monarch and his ministers to run in together.

Why do you always say that one emperor and one courtier?

The new emperor did not get along well with the old courtiers. At this time, the emperor could not be replaced, and the old courtiers would naturally be replaced.

Ever since Ming Zhan ascended the throne, he has shown a very strange temperament.There is something flattering about being nice to people.If you turn your face on, it will be even more ruthless.Like Li Cheng, that is really an old man brought out by Ming Zhan from Zhennan Prince's Mansion.

Li Cheng hadn't been the head of the House of Internal Affairs for a long time, and he didn't have much money, about tens of thousands of taels.

The key is that Ming Zhan practiced strict frugality after he ascended the throne, and he is a delicate person, so he is not easy to fool.The Ministry of Internal Affairs also has to be sensible.But for these tens of thousands of taels of silver, Ming Zhan directly chopped off Li Cheng's head.

In addition to the old people who followed Ming Zhan, even Li Pingzhou and others became more cautious.
