The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

The news of Shen Jia's stay in the palace cannot be concealed, the ministers all know that Mr. Shen is very favored by the emperor, but no matter how big an issue is, it is not up to a doctor from the household department to discuss with the emperor, right?

Mr. Ge from the Yushitai specially impeached Shen Jia today. He said: "Your Majesty, I think that Langzhong Shen used the protection of the emperor to break the rules, disrespect the etiquette, and seduce the monarch. The emperor should punish him as a warning to everyone else! "

The ministers listened and no one spoke, one by one lowered their heads and waited for the emperor to get angry. Ge Yushi was a well-known old-timer. When impeaching a courtier, he never cared about the identity and background of the opponent, or how much credit the opponent made. I can't see it.

It's not that Zhao Zhang didn't think that Shen Jia would become a thorn in the side of others, but that's where the censor impeached him.

He asked inexplicably: "Ge Aiqing, why do you disobey the rules, disrespect the etiquette, and charm the monarch? Is there any evidence?"

"My majesty, Shen Langzhong is a fifth-rank official, who only manages one mu of land in the household department, but he is frequently summoned by the emperor and stays in the palace, and even receives too many rewards. I think that Mr. Shen thinks very highly of himself." , pride and arrogance..."

Zhao Zhang couldn't listen anymore, and asked him: "Aren't these decisions made by me? What does it have to do with Shen Jia? The reward was given by me, and the overnight stay was given to him. If he refuses, will it be disobedience? "

"This..." Ge Yushi originally wanted to remind the emperor to restrain himself. There were so many civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty, none of them contributed more than Shen Jia. The emperor looked at Shen Jia differently, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a courtier.

"Your Majesty!" Yu Shi Zhongcheng hurriedly stood up and explained: "I think there is nothing wrong with Mr. Shen, but Ge Yushi is too picky."

Ge Yushi couldn't bear the sight of others losing their strength in order to cater to the emperor. Shen Jia was the most popular official with these words, and he was the most talked about inside and outside the court, but what could he do?It was nothing more than a small matter. The reason why everyone complimented him so much was because the emperor favored him.

"This statement is wrong. The emperor is a wise emperor, so he should know how to distinguish rewards and punishments. Mr. Shen has indeed made achievements, but it is enough to be summoned by the emperor frequently. He is not a cabinet minister, and the emperor thinks too much of him."

The ministers were all overwhelmed by the old man's admiration. How dare someone dare to say in front of the emperor that he valued a certain person too much. How bold.

Shen Jia stood up and said in a calm manner: "Your Majesty, I cannot accept Ge Yushi's accusation. Although my official position is small, I am also diligent and conscientious. My discussions with the Emperor are all about court affairs, and I have never used the Emperor. Seeking personal gain from the favor of the emperor cannot bear the charge of seducing the monarch.

As for staying in the palace yesterday, it was because the emperor ordered me to give lectures to Prince Rui at night, and I had important matters to discuss with the emperor. "

"Master Shen is young and energetic. He always thinks that he is the most powerful official in the Jin Dynasty. The emperor insists on you, so he actually wants to talk to you about important national affairs!" When Ge Yushi said this, many people laughed, but no, There are at least six Shangshu who can really make the decision, Shen Jia should discuss with Zhou Shangshu even if she has something to do.

Shen Jia found that he couldn't refute it. He couldn't say that he actually entered the palace to fall in love and discuss state affairs by order. It seemed that no matter how he explained it, it was wrong.

When Zhao Zhang stepped down from the dragon chair, everyone thought he would be very angry, but in fact he was not, and he even patted Ge Yushi's shoulder appreciatively.

Although Ge Yushi is always challenging his bottom line, every time Zhao Zhang is reluctant to kill him, there is such a person who can always expose the darkest side of everyone very straightforwardly, even the emperor's I don't sell face either.

He could see that Shen Jia had been bullied and had no interest in life. He probably would not enter the palace to accompany him again next time. They all thought that Shen Jia must be proud to be favored by the king. In fact, he was not willing to enter the palace. It is himself who really needs company.

"Ge Aiqing, I also have personal preferences. I think I am worthy of the people of the world. Since I became the throne, I have been reviewing memorials until late at night every day. I have never slackened. You don't object, do you?"

Ge Yushi nodded with red eyes, bent over and bowed: "The emperor's hardworking ministers are all watching."

"The number of times I summon Shen Jia every month can be counted on one hand, but it's because he is of a lower rank that you think I favor him. May I ask, what can someone say when I summon Xu Shoufu and others every day? As for staying overnight, Haven't I stayed with other people?"

The ministers stood up one after another and said: "The emperor calmed down. The ministers didn't think there was anything wrong with Shen Langzhong. Ge Yushi is upright and upright, and he obeys the rules the most. You don't have to take his words to heart."

Zhao Zhang walked up to Shen Jia again, patted him on the shoulder as well, and said loudly to Manchu Civil and Military Affairs: "I really like Mr. Shen...such a young, intelligent and motivated official, you may not know that I used to go out to study, I studied under Mr. Huai'an for two years, and Shen Langzhong was my senior brother at that time, so do you think I shouldn't favor him?"

Shen Jia's blood almost boiled, especially when Zhao Zhang said "I like it" in front of everyone, he almost thought that Zhao Zhang wanted to make the real relationship between the two public.

There was an uproar in the court, and some people remembered that Shen Jia's teacher was Mr. Huai'an. In this way, the two were brothers in the same school when they were young. This is such a close relationship. No wonder, no wonder the emperor is very close to Shen Jia, It's no wonder that the emperor trusted him so much. Thinking about it this way, it's really not a big deal to just stay in the palace occasionally and get some rewards occasionally.

Ge Yushi didn't expect the two to have such a relationship. Thinking about his former fellow disciples, he suddenly felt his face burning hot. He lifted up his clothes and knelt down, sincerely apologizing, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. This minister is ignorant and fearless, talking nonsense, wrongly blaming Lord Shen, and I apologize to Lord Shen."

Knowing that Zhao Zhang didn't mean to blame him, Shen Jia stepped forward to help him up, and at the same time reflected on himself, "I don't blame Ge Yushi for impeaching the lower officials. The lower officials did do something wrong, and they must correct it in the future. .”

Zhao Zhang squinted at him, walked back to sit on the dragon chair, and glanced condescendingly around the officials in the hall. He didn't care what these people were thinking. Since everyone knew that he and Shen Jia were brothers from the same school, After that, it was reasonable for him to favor and trust Shen Jia.

"Okay, this is the end of this matter. Ge Aiqing, as the imperial censor, you do have the right to impeach all officials, but I hope you will put more attention on the officials who really need to be eradicated, instead of holding on to a few officials. Don't let go of small things, if there is a next time, I will never forgive you lightly."

Ge Yushi was sweating profusely, "Thank you Lord for your kindness, I will keep it in my heart." Come on.Put your bags at home.

"Then, let me talk about what I discussed with Langzhong Shen last night, so that you don't always feel that I summoned Langzhong Shen out of personal affection."

The ministers all bowed their heads to express their fear.

"I have always had an idea in my mind since I read the form drawn by Langzhong Shen, but it was not formed at that time, so I didn't know it. Let me ask a question first. Come out and let me see."

About half of the civil servants stood up, and the generals stared at each other at a loss, what a joke, many of them didn't even know a single word, how could they understand the account books?And why do those who wield knives and guns look at the ledger?

Zhao Zhang asked the officials who stood up, "Then the books you usually read look the same?"

Under the background of this era, in a normal family, the male master is responsible for earning money from work, and the female master is responsible for everything other than earning money from work.

In this period, women can read a lot, but the amount of literacy is very limited. In order to cater to the habits of the hostess, the account books are often very vague and full of tricks.

Men read the Four Books and Five Classics, historical allusions since they were young, and when they grow up, they have wives to manage general affairs. Unless they are businessmen, few men will look at the accounts. Especially in the eyes of literati, things linked to money are tainted with the smell of copper. It's something they disdain to touch.

As far as the government is concerned, the official accounting method is still relatively unified. There was a four-column settlement method before, which divided the accounts into four items: beginning balance, current income, current expenditure, and ending balance. Later, the imperial court gradually unified some income and expenditure. subjects.

The financial revenue of the Jin Dynasty was closely linked to the household registration system, also known as the household registration accounting system, and it also achieved budgets and final accounts. However, in Shen Jia's eyes, it was still too chaotic and monotonous. Compared with the modern accounting system, it lagged behind Not a little.

The normal operation of a country is inseparable from money, and financial power is also the most important right of a country. Since Shen Jia is in the Ministry of Accounts, she wants to improve the current accounting system and make the functions of the Ministry of Accounts more perfect.

"I want to establish an "Accounting Department" under the Ministry of Accounting to specialize in the management of accounting business. Shen Langzhong will be the first director. , The specifics of how to do it will be discussed after the court is over."

Zhou Qing quickly stood up and asked: "Your Majesty, this method of keeping accounts has been used for nearly a hundred years, and everyone is used to it. If you change it rashly, it may cause confusion and become confused. Your Majesty wants to improve it. There is nothing wrong with me, but is it too anxious?"

"Shangshu Zhou is right in thinking, so there is nothing to change until the imperial decree is promulgated. It can only be implemented after Director Shen makes a complete plan and the cabinet unanimously approves it."

Zhou Qing felt a little displeased. The Ministry of Accounting was his domain, and it was already a headache to have Shen Jia come in. Let him have more power. The so-called Accounting Department was just a small department under the Ministry of Accounting at first glance. , In fact, being able to control the country's accountants is equivalent to mastering the country's financial data. When he becomes bigger and stronger, his position as a minister will not be guaranteed.
