Chapter 1397 The Faint Empress 20
In this case, those corrupt officials would have to repair the embankment after selling their ancestral houses.The amount to be reported later must be much less.
Xining continued: "The money that is not used must be reported. The ministries will plan the use, or directly turn it over to the national treasury. Anyone who dares to embezzle it without permission will be beheaded~! I don't believe it, every year the embankment can spend all the money. Is it possible to pay it back? The calculation is just right, and there is not even a copper coin left? If the inspection by the patrol envoy is not strict, I will ask the crime together."
Da Sikong was overjoyed, knelt down to salute, and shouted "Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing the mass of darkness kneeling in front of him, Xi Ning was not very happy, what a mess this body master left behind.Officials from the DPRK and China have a complicated relationship.Without rewards and punishments from the emperor, these old officials sometimes dare not offend and bring to justice.
But without these old ministers, this country would not be able to survive now.
Xi Ning said slowly: "Don't talk about being wise, King Duan only has 5 horses, and he can travel from Yandi to the capital without hindrance. I don't even have time to greet you... Get up, I'm here today. Report something to the truth."
All the ministers trembled in their hearts. A few days ago, the king led troops into the capital and entered the palace. There were many casualties inside and outside the palace.The empress mentioned this again, seemingly not being held accountable, but actually a thorn was planted in her heart.
If the empress works hard to govern, then from now on, she must do things well, so that she can be like those officials who have been greedy for construction funds, and forget the past.
So after standing up, I will report the important beginnings one by one.
After hearing this, Xining answered them one by one.If you don't understand something, just ask the ministers if they have any countermeasures and ideas.Then choose the method that feels right to you.
After more than a dozen important matters were finished, the sky was already dark.
The chief executive approached and whispered: "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."
Only then did Xining feel a little tired: "What time is it?"
The chief executive replied: "It's almost Xu time."
Unknowingly, it was seven o'clock in the evening, and Xining took a deep breath: "It's so late, it has delayed the rest of the ministers and workers."
All the ministers bowed and saluted: "I am not tired of waiting!"
"Don't tell lies." Xining said with a smile: "I feel tired. Many of you are over fifty years old, or even seventy years old. Ask someone to go back and say something. Work harder these two days. Those who go back go back, those who want to stay overnight. Let’s have dinner in the palace today.”
Ministers: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xining supported the table with his arms, stood up, and walked out.
Sitting all afternoon, even if you are young, your back hurts.And to deal with these official duties, you need to use your brain, and you will feel dizzy.
No wonder the Taifu died within two years. At such an old age, he still handles the government affairs for her every day and teaches her the way of being a king. It is exhausting.
Sitting on the dragon chariot, the chief steward followed: "Your Majesty, Liu Yushi is still waiting at the gate of Qinzheng Hall."
"Liu Yushi?" Xining's head was still in a daze, and he couldn't think of Liu Yushi.
The chief executive reminded cautiously: "It is the father of Princess Duan Liu."
"Oh~" I remembered, I asked someone to announce it before I came.
If you call, you have to stand and wait, or kneel.Who has seen Xuanlai's courtiers sitting directly on the steps outside the palace, waiting to be summoned?Liu Yushi stood outside the hall for a whole afternoon, five or six hours.
Xining patted his forehead, covered his hand and sighed, forgetting about it.But that's okay, let him wait.
"Immediately go to Chuanshan to Qinzheng Palace, and prepare a copy for Liu Yushi, let him go in and sit." Xining leaned on the back of the chair, tired, she really did her best as an emperor.
Upon hearing this, the chief manager immediately stepped forward and slowed down, and the porters carrying the sedan chair also slowed down.When Xining arrived, Liu Yushi was already sitting inside, and another table was arranged opposite the table where she was eating, and she was sitting awkwardly.
Xining walked in, and Liu Yushi stood up and knelt down to salute.
After sitting down, Xining said "Serve", and then explained to Liu Yushi: "I'm busy with business today, so I neglected Liu Yushi."
"Don't dare!" Liu Yushi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, of course, regards state affairs as the most important thing. I don't know if I called my minister over today. What should I do?"
But I thought in my heart, where did the official affairs come from, and the memorials were all reviewed by a group of veteran ministers, and I probably found another new love.
At this time, the dishes were brought in by the maids, and Xining said haha: "Eat first, eat first and then talk!"
Although the dishes in the imperial dining room are better than those in the folk, they are basically boiled, steamed, and roasted in this era.
Xi Ning ate a few mouthfuls, seeing Liu Yushi was full of thoughts and looked like he didn't like eating well, he was secretly funny.
Forget it, since he stood outside the palace all afternoon, it should be considered a beating, so don't scare him.
So he asked: "I rewarded King Duan with twenty beautiful concubines this morning, I wonder what Liu Yushi thinks?"
Liu Yushi immediately put down his chopsticks and bowed his hands to her: "Although my daughter has served King Duan for more than a year, she has no heirs until now. She should be in charge of a daughter or a minister, but I trouble your Majesty to take care of her. I am ashamed, Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"
This kind of high-sounding words sound nice, but they don't actually have any real content.
Xi Ning said indifferently: "It's good that you know. Tell your daughter-in-law when you have time, the most important thing is to be a prince and heir. The children of those concubines are also in her name. If she gives birth to a son-in-law in the future, she will naturally be a son-in-law. I know, no matter who dares to harm the heirs of the royal family, I will not forgive lightly! And those concubines are all from the palace, get along well, and should be controlled, but don't go too far and cause people's lives."
Liu Yushi understood why he was called here today, and he stood there all afternoon.It was to beat and beat him!
And regardless of why King Duan didn't take concubines before, the empress wouldn't want to listen, anyway, she told him, and told her daughter, don't get jealous, and get killed.
After all, it was rewarded by the palace, and one or two people were killed or injured from time to time, wouldn't this discredit the empress.
Liu Yushi put on a look of sincerity and trepidation: "My minister, please remember!"
Xi Ning nodded: "Liu Yushi can figure it out, I hope Princess Duan can also figure it out. I think the rewards from me are not good, so I'd like to give a few myself, there are still enough places for them to lift up." Yes. Otherwise, this stable concubine position will be tossed away by myself, maybe I will continue to reward and make up for the missing amount. There are many people who want to be the concubine of the king and concubine. Can they finish it? ?”
Liu Yushi hurriedly knelt down: "Yes, your majesty taught me, and I will definitely pass it on."
"Yeah~" Xining stretched his nasal voice, showing that he was satisfied with his attitude, and then his voice softened a little: "Hurry up and eat, the family should be waiting too soon. Come here~, go to Liu Yushi's mansion Report it, and say that I have left him for dinner, and I will go back after eating."
After Liu Yushi thanked him immediately, he stood up and returned to his seat to continue eating.
He didn't know how to eat, and his mind was full of how to tell the mansion and Duan Wangfei, anyway, he didn't know what he had for this meal.
