Today's court meeting is expanded, and there are many courtiers who come.

Shen An also came, but he had little interest in these issues.

According to the operation mode of the Great Song Dynasty, important matters were basically solved at the small court meeting, and this expanded court meeting was just a passing scene, and Mao did not use it.

He felt a lot of eyes, some curious, some envious, and some vicious.

At the beginning of the court meeting, Shen An couldn't help but fall asleep listening to those big things.

He squinted, his face was pure, but he was napping.

“…… The minister heard that some people in the palace were playing with silverware, which was extravagant......"

Hey!

Shen An, who was dozing off, couldn't help but open his eyes when he heard this.

Ahead, Sima Guang was speaking righteously.

“…… Although the silverware is small, it is not a good head, and once it is not restricted, the minister is worried that it will be imitated in the future. The palace has a large population......"

"That's a mistake!"

When Sima Guang was talking comfortably, he was suddenly interrupted, and the depression in his heart really wanted to explode.

But after seeing that it was Zhao Ji, he had to endure it.

Zhao Ji came out and said, "What Sima Yuan said is Bao'an. The minister didn't know how the matter of the harem was spread outside, and the matter should be investigated well. ”

Bao'an is Bao'an Princess Zhao Qianyu.

"Bao'an just took a silver ball and played with people that day, how did it become extravagant?" Zhao Ji stared at Sima Guang dissatisfiedly: "Aren't the children in Sima Yuan's house playing?" As for the silver ball, this is the only one in the palace, so do you want to use a jade ball that is easier to damage? ”

Zhao Shu's eyes were also cold, and he said, "The child is just playing, is it worth admonishing?" ”

He knew what these courtiers' advice meant, it was nothing more than that he found that there was suddenly a big fortune in the palace, that is, Zhao Ji's shares in Dark Incense, so many people were eyeing the annual income of the royal family, thinking about whether they could share it and ease the financial situation of the Great Song Dynasty.

I have agreed to reduce the manpower and cost of the palace, and you are still attacking my daughter...... Do you want to be embarrassed?

Zhao Shu was annoyed, and his eyes subconsciously looked over, and he actually looked at Shen An.

Shen An felt that his usefulness had arrived, so he came out and said: "Sima Yuan's words are wrong, if this is also considered extravagance, then Sima Yuan's play with people when he was a child and broke the big water tank, is it extravagant?" ”

Belch!

The ministers were all stunned.

How did this bring out Sima Guang's good deeds back then?

Sima Guang also felt a little stunned, and was about to be humble, Shen An continued: "The child plays with rollerballs a lot, and a certain sister likes it, but there are not as many things in the palace as outside, so the princess can only play with silver balls...... But the silver ball can't be bad! Right? ”

Someone turned his head in embarrassment and thought of this loophole in the admonition.

But where would Shen An let these people go so easily, he said with a straight face: "The silver ball can still be used, but the water tank was broken by Sima Yuan, and it was completely broken. ”

Burst!

Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.

There's no way not to laugh!

Because Shen An is so right.

Princess Bao'an is just playing with the silver ball, and it does not damage the value of the silver ball itself, how can it be said to be extravagant?

Sima Guang used this to advise, probably the Han Yan in the former Han Dynasty liked to play with slingshots, and he used gold bullets. More than ten gold bullets are lost every day, and the people think that this is too tyrant, so they let the children follow him, and when he hits the slingshot, they will pick up the gold bullets that they don't want.

Bitter hunger and cold, chase pellets!

This was the smooth talk of the people of Chang'an at that time.

Han Yan and Emperor Wu were very close for a while, sleeping and waking up together, which made people look sideways.

Later, this favored minister was finally forced to commit suicide, which can be regarded as a piece of advice to the latecomers, don't rely on the emperor's favor and recklessness.

Sima Guang was furious, "This is ridiculous! The mistakes of the people in the palace should be admonished at the beginning to prevent problems before they happen. ”

"What Sima Yuan said is very true, so I also made a suggestion today......"

Shen An said to him seriously: "I heard that Sima Yuan came to the government every time he was stuck, and he felt that he should be punished. ”

He said to Zhao Shu: "Your Majesty, Sima Yuan's behavior is very dangerous! What should I do if I'm late? ”

Sima Guang said coldly: "The old man has never been late. ”

"But can you make sure you're never late for the rest of your life?"

Shen An's question made Sima Guang unable to answer.

Say yes, if you are late in the future, you will be slapped in the face by someone who recalls today's old things.

said that it couldn't, wouldn't it be said by Shen An.

Sima Guang sat on the wax in a flash.

Someone said, "What's the danger of being late?" Alarmist! ”

Shen An looked at the sound and said coldly: "Then what is the luxury of a princess playing with a silver bullet?" ”

Pull Nima Tan!

It's just an excuse.

As soon as Shen An came in, he found that the atmosphere was not right, and now he finally found some problems.

They are preparing to attack Zhao Shu today!

After this official ascended the throne, he was not as kind to his courtiers as the first emperor, and he didn't care enough about them, which made the ministers feel lost.

This is an emperor who is separated from his ministers, which is not good, very bad!

So the ministers were ready to use advice to make everyone's relationship more cordial.

Wasn't that the case with Renzong back then, and it's almost the same if you want to come here.

But they didn't know that Zhao Shu was a person with some nervous problems, anxiety and depression.

Hehe!

So it hit a wall.

Shen An alone was speechless when Sima Guang spoke, and then sighed: "There are still many things to say, it's boring!" ”

These words compared Sima Guang's combat effectiveness to the five scum of war, but the ministers could only smile bitterly.

Shen An went back, and Zhao Ji came out.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no need to cut the amount in the palace."

Shen An gave Sima Guang a punch, so Zhao Ji gave a kick to the ministers.

Nima!

What do you mean by that?

Someone came out and said: "King, the Great Song Dynasty ruled the country with benevolence and frugality, I'm afraid this is not right." ”

Zhao Ji said: "The degree in the palace has been reduced several times, and it has been irreducible. You can't wait for the palace to cut the consumption, what is the purpose of this? Are you willing to eat bran and wild vegetables in the palace? ”

"Alright."

Zhao Shu felt that the smell of gunpowder in these words was too strong, and although it was very comfortable, he still interrupted.

Zhao Ji surrendered his guilt, but he was not ready to end, "Taxation is the cost of governing the country, and the tribute from all over the country is the cost of the royal family, and now the tax is increasing every year, but it is becoming more and more insufficient, why?" ”

"There are more people who don't farm and eat!"

This was said in a weird way, and you didn't need to look at Han Qi to know that it was Shen An who said it.

Zhao Ji felt that this was appropriate, "The tributes from all over the country have not changed for many years, but the palace has been surplusing, and those balances have been given to the central government, and now they want to save money again, what does this mean?" ”

Shameless!

What Zhao Ji didn't say were these three words!

There are more and more taxes but they can't support the officials, but there is still a balance in the palace.

Zhao Shu felt extremely relieved, and said lightly: "The use in the palace is already very low, if possible, I want to stop, go back to farming by myself, and I can support my family." ”

These words were so mean that they made the ministers' faces red.

Han Qi took the lead in bowing.

"The ministers are guilty!"

Zhao Shu said: "The palace will still reduce the amount this time, but how about outside?" ”

I've cut it down first, what about you?

The emperor didn't speak, and when he spoke, people were choked.

We?

What do we do?

"Isn't it okay to cut some officials?"

Shen An brought up the matter of redundant officials again, and the atmosphere became solemn in an instant.

"The three divisions have been reduced."

At the critical moment, Bao Zheng came out.

Lao Bao stood in the middle and said in a deep voice: "Redundant officials and redundant soldiers, these can be reduced a lot, if you let the ministers start, the officials in the capital will be less than thirty percent!" ”

Depend on!

The ministers couldn't help but secretly slander Lao Bao, feeling that this guy was really old and not afraid of death.

How strong was Fan Zhongyan back then, and didn't it end in failure in the end?

Can you Bao Zheng be proportional to Fan Wen?

Can't compare!

Bao Zheng stood there, unafraid of those gazes. He looked at Sima Guang and said, "How did you find out about the harem?" When you learned about this matter, you shouldn't have come to admonish, but you should have asked someone to investigate, and let the Imperial City Division find out who leaked the news. ”

Sima Guang lowered his head, embarrassed by what he said.

"What's in the way of a girl's play? The old man's son took the old man's official uniform as a diaper, and the old man didn't take it seriously, what's wrong? Is this extravagance? ”

Lao Bao's anger gradually came up, and his tone gradually became high, "What's the use of staring at the harem?" That's all the royal family's annual income, can it still be extravagant? If you have that kind of effort, why don't you go and see if there are people in those yamen who have a vegetarian meal, catch a few hundred of them, how much money can you save a year? ”

This is so true, everyone knows that it is right, but no one comes out to agree.

This is a big vat where everyone is gouging, and someone wants to smash the vat and make it again. This is an act that most people would not welcome.

At this time, the official is an iron rice bowl, and the consequence of the iron rice bowl is that he does not want to make progress, he has money and food every month, and there is no pressure to work...... It's not that there is no pressure, but that there are so many officials that there is nothing to do.

In this atmosphere, few people want to change the status quo.

There are only a few heroes, such as Fan Zhongyan.

For example, Wang Anshi later.

Han Qi regretted a little, and felt that he should have stood up just now and suppressed the objections of the ministers like Bao Zheng.

Ay! It's a step too late!

The first troll of the Great Song Dynasty is online, and he is still invincible, and he is lonely and seeking defeat.

Zeng Gongliang looked at Bao Zheng's fearless posture standing there, and suddenly remembered the words of the last time the official family hinted that Bao Zheng would be given priority to be added to the political hall in the future.

Bao Zheng now looks like a prime minister!

Zhao Shu also thinks so.

He remembered the dividends that his son could earn every year from his shares in Dark Incense, and he became more and more confident, so he said: "The palace will cut some more expenses, and I hope you will think of more ways to make the life of the third division better." ”

This is praising Bao Zheng's diligence!

Someone felt sour in his heart, so he said: "The days in the palace can't be too sad, and besides, the business of dark incense can't be said to be bad when......"

We can't bet on dark incense, can we?

This is reasonable, and even Han Qi came out to persuade Zhao Shu to take back his life.

"I think it's okay!"

At the critical moment, Zhao Ji came out, "Even if there is less income from dark incense, the palace can also do other things." ”

This is a vague request to Zhao Shu: Dad, these officials are too uncomfortable staring at us, why don't we do some small business?

Zhao Shu nodded and said, "That's fine." ”

People with anxiety disorders hate threats the most, so they often like to find a way out for themselves.

Zhao Shu said very firmly: "This matter is like this." ”

The ministers were dumbfounded......

The royal family wants to do business?

What the hell is this!
