If this is the case, then is this position very important? The ministers all had their own thoughts. As soon as this topic was raised, the atmosphere in the hall became weird.

Who was the person who looked ugly and instantly turned black when he heard this suggestion? Of course it was the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, Ji Zhong.

Zhu Houzhao turned his head and glanced at Qi You, then at the Minister of Revenue, Ji Zhong, and the expression on his face suddenly became playful. Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought that his two uncles were just nobles, relying on his sister to be the queen, and they were domineering.

, putting money into one’s arms, it seems that is not the case now!

A force seems to have formed around his two uncles, and this force is not small. This Qi You should be one of theirs.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but look at Ji Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. This person was a bit interesting. You could tell by his appearance. This Qi You obviously didn't report this matter to him. Although Qi You was speaking for Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao felt that Ji You

On the contrary, Zhong is more reliable. He relies on his relatives and suppresses Shangguan. This Qiyou obviously has a problem with his character!

Zhu Houzhao was very clear about the virtues of his two uncles, and secretly wrote down the name Qi You in his heart. After Qi You finished speaking, the hall suddenly became quiet. The incident happened suddenly, and some people did not react.

Some people act like they don't care, but it's hard to say whether they really don't care in their hearts.

"It's a very important matter. Dear friends, please go back and think about it, and then submit a memorial to discuss it!" Seeing that no one was speaking, Zhu Youtang spoke up himself.

This incident was like an early morning episode that passed quickly, like a pebble thrown into a pond. It disappeared directly on the water, but the ripples it caused were destined to slowly spread.

spread out.

After the morning court, Zhu Houzhao returned to his Xianyang Palace and told Liu Jin: "Go and find Yang Lian!"

The eunuch who came from Dongchang has come in handy now. Not long after, Yang Lian came. Zhu Houzhao glanced at Yang Lian and then said: "Go to Dongchang and ask Yang Daban to go there."

Check with the Ministry of Household Affairs to ask Qiyou about the matter, just like last time, don't make any omissions."

Yang Lian didn't know why Zhu Houzhao wanted to check Qi You, but he didn't dare to show any slightness and said quickly: "Yes, Your Highness, I will go right now!"

After Yang Lian left, Zhu Houzhao was ready to go to class. Today it was Li Dongyang who came to teach Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao needed to go there on time.

There was no way to hide what happened in the morning court. Soon the news spread everywhere, and there were all kinds of things. Some of them were worried that this person was Xie Qian. Some of the affairs in the court were big and some were small, but

The salt administration is definitely a big deal. Returning to the duty room of the cabinet, Xie Qian said to Liu Jian: "What do you think of what Qi You reported today?"

"I'm afraid there is an expert this time!" Liu Jian smiled and said with a bit of teasing, but his tone was not very relaxed. He sighed: "I'm afraid Ji Zhong is going to be in trouble."

Seeing Xie Qian looking at him, Liu Jian said with emotion: "Since Ji Zhong became the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, what has he done in the past few years? Doesn't Zi Qiao remember it too?"

Xie Qian shook his head and said: "How could I not remember that Ji Zhong has been working hard for the court in the past few years. In recent years, the government has been unable to make ends meet. Ji Zhong has also put a lot of thought into it, and he has also offended many people."

The memorial on the bell has been suppressed for several months, right? I'm afraid there is no news."

After listening to Xie Qian's words, Liu Jian stroked his beard and said with a smile: "I don't think so. Did Zi Qiao hear about Shouning Hou entering the palace a few days ago?"

Xie Qian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that I am asking for a 150,000-yuan salt exemption from the Changlu Saltworks. I heard that I went there twice."

"Why didn't it work?" Liu Jian asked with a smile.

"They were all blocked by the prince. It is said that Shouning Hou was severely reprimanded by the prince." Xie Qian said this, and the smile on his face became thicker, as if he was deeply relieved.

Liu Jian nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Why not let Zhong hand over another copy of the memorial?"

Although Liu Jian stopped talking at this point, Xie Qian naturally understood. The last time Zhong Zhong's memorial was suppressed by His Majesty, he simply left it unpublished for several months. Everyone knows that it was

Why, but now that the prince is assisting the government, he also has a role in approving the memorial. Last time, it was not difficult for them, the cabinet bachelors, to deliver this memorial to the prince.

It can be seen from the prince's attitude towards Shouning Hou that if the prince had seen the memorial, he would probably have done it accurately, and it was probably Shouning Hou who would be punished.

"That's great!" Xie Qian nodded, agreeing to the matter. They are all teachers of the Prince. They really like the Prince. He is highly talented and eager to learn. At the same time, he is modest, prudent, diligent and frugal. It can be said that

He is a very good candidate for the crown prince. After thinking about it, Xie Qian raised his head and asked, "What about today?"

"Don't worry about it for now, let's take a look and talk about it later!" Liu Jian put down the teacup in his hand and said, "This time it's still a matter of salt policy. It seems that someone is unwilling to do so. Let's leave it alone and hand over the memorial to Zhong Zhong before we talk about it."

Zhu Houzhao had no idea that the cabinet bachelor was plotting against him. He had classes in the morning and martial arts training in the afternoon. In the meantime, he also went to Xiyuan. The training there was in full swing and was very good. In the evening, Zhu Houzhao accompanied his father to correct the memorial.

I am already very familiar with these, but my father did not come tonight. This is not the first time Zhu Houzhao has encountered this, especially after my mother became pregnant.

After correcting the memorials one by one, Zhu Houzhao soon discovered a very interesting memorial, which was written by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Originally, Zhu Houzhao thought that this memorial was about what Zhong was going to say about the salt policy, but after looking through it, Zhu Houzhao found that it was not the case at all. This memorial was the previous memorial from Liu Zhong, and it was handed over again this time. He roughly checked the date.

, this memorial has been pending for several months.

"That's interesting!"

Zhu Houzhao knew that this memorial was not simple without opening it, but he didn't know who opened it. Another thing that is certain is that someone wanted to see this memorial.

Opening it, Zhu Houzhao wanted to see what was unusual about this memorial.

After looking through it for a few times, Zhu Houzhao sighed. This memorial was really unusual. It was written by the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Ji Zhong, not long after he took office.
