One night passed, and all the palaces, pavilions, and palace corridors in the imperial city were covered with a thin layer of snow. In the early morning, the frost hit people, penetrating through the muscles and bones, and the sky became bright and dim. The eunuchs and eunuchs in the palace rooms were still there.
Carrying a broom, he cleared the snow on the palace roads to make it easier for the palace officials to walk.
Until dawn, the sky and the earth were all white. The government offices located in the south of the imperial city began to have more activities as the officials entered the palace. The political affairs hall was located in Guangzheng Hall, where it was convenient for the prime ministers to work on weekdays.
The indoor stove was burning smoke and the incense was pleasant. Feng Dao was sitting behind the case, processing official documents. Prime Minister Li Tao walked over lightly, holding a green bowl, steaming it, and handed it to Feng Dao: "Prime Minister Feng!"
Looking up, Feng Dao said: "My loyal minister, you and I are both prime ministers, and I ask you to serve me personally. How dare I do that?"
Li Tao smiled and said: "Feng Gong is the senior and the chief minister. He has a high reputation, how can he not be worthy of it!"
Hearing this, Feng Dao stroked his white beard and said, "Thank you very much!"
After taking it and taking a sip, Feng Dao's face changed slightly and he turned to look at him: "Why is it wine?"
"The weather is cold, let's have a small drink to dispel the cold and warm up!" Li Tao said with a smile.
Looking at Li Tao, Feng Dao couldn't help but sigh and said: "True minister, we are here to work and handle the world's political affairs. How can we drink? If we miss the state affairs, how can we deal with it? Besides, it won't sound good if it gets spread out!"
Then he returned the wine cup to Li Tao: "Dispose of it quickly!"
Seeing this, Li Tao said: "Prime Minister Feng, you are just too cautious, just a glass of light wine..."
Feng Dao shook his head and said nothing. He handed Li Tao an edict and said, "Come and take a look. This is the edict just sent by Chongzheng Palace."
Hearing this, Li Tao's expression suddenly became solemn, he took it, looked at it, and said softly: "The responsibility of the pastor is not to be taken lightly. Since the tasks of sharing the worries are the same, the number of salary should be equal. There used to be a wealthy county, please give me
If it is superior, it may be that in the border state, the salary is low. Even when it comes to relocation, it is difficult to propose. It not only depends on the level of qualifications, but also the rise and fall of salary and rank. It is appropriate to divide the more to benefit the few, and all to benefit from the same favor.
He hopes to be without party or partiality, and to encourage people to do good deeds..."
After a little understanding of the imperial edict, Li Tao held his beard and said: "Your Majesty, this edict is to reset the local officials' salary, Lusu!"
Feng Dao nodded and said: "Yes! Lord Chao Guan, now that the military salary has been set, the salary of local officials should also be put on the agenda. As the imperial edict said, there is a gap between rich and poor in local Daozhou.
There is no difference between the superior and the inferior. For the sake of justice, since they are both pastors and guardians, their salaries should be determined according to their grades!"
"In this way, the imperial court's influence and control over local areas should be strengthened, which can be coordinated with the reform of the financial system!" Li Tao thought about it and said: "However, this matter is not easy. Now the Daozhou where Dahan belongs to, the state capital
Standing side by side, the discipline is still there, and it is supplemented by observation, defense, and group training. How to be mixed and unified, it needs to be carefully considered!"
"It can only be determined based on the situation!" Feng Dao thought about it a little: "Let's discuss it first and make a preliminary agreement and submit it to Your Majesty!"
"The salary matter requires the participation of three departments. Find Xue Juzheng!" Li Tao said.
"Yeah!" Feng Dao nodded: "When Prime Minister Fan returns, he will be included!"
Nodding, Li Tao couldn't help but smile: "I'm afraid, there will be some controversy, and the lower officials will have to waste their words again!"
Feng Dao said: "They are all doing business for the imperial court. There are few disputes and the status is normal. As your Majesty said, seek common ground while reserving differences!"
...
"After sitting here for a long time, my hands and feet can't help but feel numb. It's very cold this winter. I just hope it will pass soon!" In Chongzheng Hall, Liu Chengyou put down his imperial pen, rubbed his stiff hands, and sighed.
Looking at the open doors and windows, the cold air continued to invade, and ordered: "Close the doors and windows!"
"Yes!" Zhang Dejun went up personally to make arrangements.
There were two heaters in the hall. The doors and windows were open to avoid the cold, but they were closed for a long time to avoid being stuffy. Liu Chengyou felt that his physique was becoming more and more afraid of heat and cold.
"Is it snowing outside again?" Liu Chengyou asked as he could faintly hear the movement and rustling outside the palace.
"Back to Your Majesty, yes, Xiaoxue, Jiyu!" Zhang Dejun responded.
"It has been raining and snowing for days recently, and the rain has turned into ice, which may cause frost damage! I can't bear the pain, but what's worse for the people of Li!" Liu Chengyou sighed.
Liu Chengyou couldn't help but feel a little sad in his tone. Of course, this was his daily life, but at this time, there were only a few servants in the palace and no outsiders were there.
However, as the most considerate eunuch around the emperor, Zhang Dejun wisely echoed and flattered: "Although your Majesty is in the palace, he always cares about the suffering of the people and the welfare of the people. Such a holy king is a blessing to the people of the world! "
"Furthermore, His Majesty's kindness and power have spread all over the world. He has issued edicts to all the prefectures and prefectures. Governments in various places have been warned by Your Majesty to take care of the people and take precautions against frost damage!"
"You can talk! You can also reason. I heard that you also study on weekdays, and you seem to understand a lot of truth!" After hearing what he said, Liu Chengyou said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Dejun stooped slightly, clasped his hands on his abdomen, and said respectfully: "I have served your Majesty for a long time, and I have been taught a lot. No matter how stupid I am, I should be rewarded."
Turning his head to look at Zhang Dejun, Liu Chengyou looked at him. He was used to his humility and caution, which were all caused by his beating and shock from time to time. There were many eunuchs in the palace, and there were also some old people from the Jinyang period, but in the end What made Liu Chengyou feel comfortable was this Dejun.
Regarding this person, Liu Chengyou occasionally wanted to reuse him and entrust him with an important position, but he had been hesitant for fear of the eunuch's disaster. Of course, more importantly, it still remains to be seen.
The emperor's gaze is always unsettling. Facing Liu Chengyou's inspection, Zhang Dejun's face was as respectful as usual. Nothing unusual could be seen, but his waist was bent a little more.
Looking away, Liu Chengyou walked into the side hall. Li Fang was leading three Chongzheng ministers to sort out the memorials. When he saw the emperor, he quickly stood up and saluted.
"Business with you!" Liu Chengyou waved his hand and looked at the memorial in Li Fang's hand.
Upon seeing this, Li Fang presented to Liu Chengyou: "The Imperial Examination Yuan has submitted a list of the censors in the Yamen, please see it."
Liu Chengyou took it, read it over, and said casually: "The quotas for all supervisors are not ready yet!"
Li Fang replied: "In the past two years, the Yushitai has sent many censors to the local areas, added court officials to prefectures and counties, and reduced the number of personnel, but there was no time to supplement them. Therefore, after the restructuring of the capital, each position could not be replaced for a while. Get it together!"
Nodding, Liu Chengyou looked at Li Fang and said: "Mingyuan, although you are young, your reputation among young scholars is not low. In this way, you can select some talents for me from the Hanlin Academy and various ministries to fill the gap." To supplement the Procuratorate of the Capital. Zhao Li has just taken charge. It is not easy to adjust the Taiwan Procuratorate and supervise law enforcement. In terms of personnel, I have to share his worries..."
Hearing this, Li Fang couldn't help but hesitate on his face, and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, I'm so humble and humble, so how can I take charge of this matter? Just ask Mr. Li Xianggong from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to choose and transfer him!"
"I want to use young people!" Liu Chengyou stared at Li Fang with bright eyes.
Li Fang opened his mouth, silently pondering the emperor's thoughts, keeping a solemn expression on his face, and responded: "I will do my best!"
"How long have you been with me?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Li Fang replied cautiously: "Your Majesty, one year and three months!"
"That time is not short!" Liu Chengyou murmured.
Li Fang was the number one scholar in the fourth year of Qianyou's reign. After entering the court, he served as a close minister of the emperor before he was appointed to the imperial court. He had a low position but heavy responsibilities. On weekdays, he dealt with major military and political affairs and state secrets. In addition, his experience in the Huainan expedition was not only Speaking of resume, just the vision and knowledge have been enriched a lot. From Liu Chengyou's point of view, it is basically gained through experience.
But in the imperial court, there could be no more promotions in a short period of time. Therefore, Liu Chengyou had the intention to imitate Wang Pu's old story and let him go out for some experience, but he had not yet decided what position he would be assigned to.
"By the way, have you finished writing "A Brief Summary of the Southern Expedition"?" Liu Chengyou suddenly felt at ease and asked.
Li Fang cupped his hands and said: "I have five volumes of my work, which are complete. Now I only need a preface. If your majesty wants to read it, I can get it!"
"Okay!" Liu Chengyou smiled: "I have long wanted to read your masterpiece!"
Walking in the corridor with the blowing rain and snow, feeling the chilly chill, Li Fang could not help but murmur: "Your Majesty seems to want to let me go..."
