Chapter 771: Sprinkling Water......
His Majesty's condition seems to have improved, and the early dynasty, which has not been opened for a long time, reopened today, for the first time in several months, and the officials were full of spirits, not daring to slack off in the slightest, and stood in front of the palace gate before dawn to wait.
The early dynasty has not been opened for a long time, and I thought that there would be a lot of big things accumulated, and I don't know when it will end today, but it was only half an hour's work, and the officials lined up from the Lizheng Hall to the outside.
His Majesty's body may really be bad, even in the past, it is rare to end the deliberations so early.
Half a month ago, two prefectures were hit by floods, and the losses were not small, His Majesty ordered the household department to allocate silver as soon as possible to help the people, and sent officials from the capital water supervision to deal with the floods, which should be the most important thing.
However, similar disasters are experienced almost every year, and nothing can go wrong if they are done step by step.
Then there are some trivial matters of various ministries and departments, early in the morning, you always have to say something, otherwise everyone will be embarrassed to stand, as if there is no work to do on weekdays.
In addition, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to assist the eldest princess in supervising the construction of the county school, and the small reform of the imperial examination was a matter that made everyone happy.
Although he has failed many times, His Majesty still does not seem to have given up on the suppression of certain gate lords.
There was still a long distance from the Lizheng Hall to the yamen of the various ministries and departments, and the officials gathered in twos and threes to discuss the affairs of the early dynasty just now.
"Daxing County School, Your Majesty, this is another convenient door for the cold door......"
"Didn't you do this a few years ago, and in the end, it still didn't work?"
"It's difficult, if you want to build more academies for the state capitals, you have to invite more gentlemen, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books and scriptures, not counting the ...... of building academies, this all costs silver, can the treasury come up with so much?"
"Who knows, Your Majesty didn't say anything about allocating money from the treasury just now, only saying that the eldest princess was in charge of this matter, so much silver, can't you let the eldest princess take it out?"
……
……
If it was a year or half a year ago, the focus of their argument might be that although Her Royal Highness is a noble person, she is just a woman, so how can she be qualified to participate in national affairs?
However, at the moment, no one dared to say that.
The last one who questioned her so much has been poked off by the people of Kyoto.
A generation of Confucianism finally ended up swept away and declared a ruined end, which made countless people sigh when they think of it.
In the course of a year, the light of the eldest princess is too dazzling.
Brought back the heavenly punishment, so that Jing Guo defeated the Qi State, and there is still a deep shock to it, and later defeated the envoys of the Qi State, saving face for the country, and then the Women's Federation, the Women's College, and even a force to promote the national policy of not marrying women before the age of 16, training female midwifery, so that the probability of women dying in childbirth has been reduced several times, so that many women have set up an immortal tablet for her at home......
Any one of these things is enough to convince them.
Up to now, if the shadow of the eldest princess appeared in any court affairs, they would not be surprised at all.
But as for whether she can handle this matter well, everyone has little expectation in their hearts.
After all, even His Majesty has encountered irresistible obstacles in this matter, not to mention the eldest princess, a woman, not to mention that she will encounter other obstacles, the silver required alone is not a small amount.
Without this one problem, the matter will end up being a joke.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this that those officials with deep backgrounds did not show any displeasure on their faces.
Supporting the Hanmen is naturally a suppression of the gate valve, and His Majesty has shown this thought, which is his dissatisfaction with them.
The major families who have always been ambiguous with the royal family are naturally not afraid, and their status in the court is naturally guaranteed by the royal family, but for the Cui family and some other families, things are not so simple.
At least in this dynasty, they are not very stable.
A certain official's face was slightly gloomy, and he whispered: "Over the years, the court has undergone great changes, isn't Your Majesty still dissatisfied?" ”
"Don't worry, haven't you experienced such a thing a long time ago?" A middle-aged man beside him showed a disdainful smile on his face and said, "This time there must be something that Your Majesty can't do, the eldest princess ......, hehe." ”
"Yes, where does the money come from, that's all that matters." One person nodded and said: "If it is only in Kyoto, it will have no impact on the overall situation, if it really wants to cover all state capitals, I am afraid that the treasury will not be able to afford it, I want to see, what does the eldest princess plan to use to fill this bottomless pit?" ”
"Hehe, Her Royal Highness the princess's business is doing well, but this time, the silver of the white flowers is destined to be wasted......"
As soon as one person said a word, he was dragged by the arm of a person next to him, and his eyes looked behind him extremely faintly.
The man looked back and saw the gloomy face of an important person in the Cui family, and his heart immediately chuckled, and he secretly said that he was going to suffer.
In front of the Cui family, isn't this kind of thing rubbing salt on their wounds?
Everyone knows that the Cui family has suffered heavy losses because of the glass, the appreciation meeting did not happen, and the hoarded glass was smashed in front of everyone.
Not daring to look at that Master Cui again, he glanced back at the eldest princess who had just come out of it, a strange look appeared in his eyes, and walked forward quickly.
"It seems that no one is optimistic about you."
Li Yi is rarely in the court today, walking beside Li Mingzhu, with his current ear power, it is not difficult to hear what those people in front of him are talking about, and it is not difficult for the eldest princess.
"Just look at it." Li Mingzhu glanced back at him and said lightly.
Li Yi was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't know whether to be moved or helpless.
This matter is arranged in front of the hundred officials, there is no way out, the money has not yet landed, she is not in a hurry at all?
She didn't think about it, what if he was bragging?
However, it still feels good to be trusted, Li Yi turned his head, looked at her and comforted: "Don't worry, if you don't have any money, you can cheat some more." ”
"What did you say?" Li Mingzhu looked back at him.
"I said if I didn't have any money, I would make some more." Li Yi looked at her and said with a smile: "You also know, I am very good at making money, this little money, sprinkle water......"
There seemed to be someone waiting in front of him, and when he saw the two of them coming over, he bowed and saluted slightly: "I've seen Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”
Then he looked at Li Yi and nodded slightly.
Li Yi also smiled back, the head of the Wang family, an old friend of friendship and cooperation.
Li Mingzhu looked at him and asked, "I don't know what happened to Lord Wang?" ”
The relationship between the Wang family and the royal family has always been close, although she is a princess, but in front of the head of the Wang family, there will not be too many shelves.
"His Royal Highness wants to build a county school, which is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, and the Wang family is willing to donate 100,000 taels of silver to do their part for this matter."
100,000 taels of silver, not a small amount, when Li Yi gave it to Miss Liu Er, he hesitated for a moment, and the Wang family actually took it out so simply, he deserved to be the first rich man in Jingguo, and he was full of confidence......
However, thinking about how much they have earned these days, it is normal to take out a little love.
Li Mingzhu was also stunned when he heard this, and then said with a smile: "The heart of the Wang family, this palace understands it, but this matter, the palace has already made arrangements, and I don't have to worry about Lord Wang." ”
She knew that Li Yi didn't want others to meddle in this matter, not to mention that he had just said that the money was just a sprinkling of water to him......
Sprinkling water should be not worth mentioning, right?
The head of the Wang family was only surprised for a moment, then smiled and said, "Since this is the case, this official will leave first." ”
Li Yi turned his head and looked at her in disbelief.
Looking at him and thinking of the effects of those soups, Li Mingzhu felt that there was something strange in a certain part of her body, this feeling was unprecedented, her cheeks were slightly red, and she asked, "See what I do?" ”
Li Yi touched his forehead with one hand, reached out and touched hers with the other.
No fever.
Could it be that if you drink too much soup, if you grow in a certain area, your IQ will decrease?
"What are you doing...... Li Mingzhu waved his hand away and said with some anger.
Li Yi didn't have time to admire the eldest princess's rare angry appearance, so he chased in the direction where the head of the Wang family left.
"Lord Wang, wait, don't go......"
"Let's discuss what happened just now......
"Lao Wang, stop!"
