Chapter 643 Don’t be a big grievance
The master and servant returned to the palace and saw many officials surrounding the door. They were holding notes in their hands and saying something together, with anxious faces on their faces.
"Why haven't our six ministries paid this month's salary?"
"I heard that the treasury cannot allocate the money."
"The heavy snow collapsed the Confucian Temple last night, so it must be repaired."
"The Ministry of Works has not been able to pay the salary two months ago, and there are not many craftsmen left."
"The three prefectures in Hexi are urging food relief again."
"Although Hedong has a bumper harvest this year, the tax is too heavy, and the people jointly wrote a letter to reduce taxes."
"If you don't reduce taxes, the treasury will be empty, let alone taxes, we have to drink the northwest wind."
Everyone, I am more anxious than you, and they all look up at the gate of the palace, hoping that Yan Mu will come out quickly to solve the problem for them.
"Why didn't Your Highness go to the cabinet meeting today?" someone asked.
"It's said it's caused by the cold."
"this……"
"It was indeed cold last night, but the royal palace wouldn't be able to raise charcoal fires."
"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"
When everyone was anxious, the gatekeeper who had been circulating inside finally came out.
"What do you say about Your Highness?"
"Can we meet him? Can we hand in the letter?"
The servant glanced around and said, "Your Highness is too ill and unconscious, so everyone should go back."
"But Your Highness is acting in the court affairs. Every major event in the court is in full swing, so he can't ignore it!" someone shouted.
Liu Yunxiang walked up the steps, looked back at the bottom, and said coldly: "Everything is burning, have you not come up with a solution? Your Highness has worked hard for the government and is now ill. You should spare his life first.
”
As soon as these words were spoken, the people below lowered their heads and kept silent.
"You are all pillars of the country. I think you won't be stumped by this urgent matter at hand. Let's find a way out for each of you."
After saying that, Liu Yun walked into the palace of the Xiang Dynasty.
When I returned to the backyard, the unconscious person was leaning on the bed of the arhat to read books, and he was still reading the book "The Pretty Guard Meeting the Female Fairy at Night".
Liu Yunxiang sat over and took a photo of him, "There's a stir outside."
"Let them make trouble." Yan Mu said without raising his head.
"I guess I'm going to jointly impeach you."
"I thank them."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, leaned her head on his shoulder and watched with him.
After only a few lines, she became sleepy.
“This is too boring.”
"The title of the book is quite seductive, but it's not the case inside. It's really boring."
Yan Mu threw the book aside, turned to suppress Liu Yunxiang, lowered his head and kissed him first, "I am a pretty man, you are a female fairy, we won't have to wait until night, the day is good."
Liu Yunxiang blushed, "Don't, I was so troubled by you last night."
"What are you thinking? I mean we went to the backyard to have a tryst. Don't think about those all day long. I'm weak and can't afford to toss."
Liu Yunxiang hammered Yan Mu hard, "Where are you weak? Last night..."
Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "How?"
Liu Yunxiang turned his head, "I have a pain in my waist anyway."
Yan Mu smiled and hugged the person in his arms, and reached out to rub her waist.
"The riots in Nanzhou lasted for three years, and the treasury has been exhausted. I roughly calculated that it would cost millions of taels of silver to fill these holes."
Liu Yunxiang frowned, "So many?"
"The emperor asked me to act as the government, but now it seems that it is indeed because of trust."
"But we are not a big mistake either."
"So let them make trouble."
The snow was getting heavier and heavier outside. During dinner, the gatekeeper came to report that the other officials had left, only the Minister of Rites was left. This man was over 60 years old, with white hair all over his head, and was so cold that he was huddled at the gate of the palace.
If this continues, I am afraid that someone will die.
Yan Mu raised his eyebrows, "What's the urgent matter for him?"
The gatekeeper said helplessly: "It was said that the Confucian Temple collapsed, and the court must quickly use the silver to repair it, and also said that it was a holy place for scholars."
Yan Mu shouted, "Then let him continue to freeze."
Liu Yunxiang thought for a while and said, "You told the Minister of Rites like this, Your Highness said that the repair of the Confucian Temple is indeed urgent, and he also attaches great importance to it, but there is really no money at the moment. However, the Ministry of Justice is going to expand the prison, and the money has been approved.
If the Ministry of Justice is willing to transfer it to their Ministry of Rites first, His Highness will immediately approve the memorial to them. As for the words, let him go to the Ministry of Justice to clear the matter."
The doorkeeper responded and ran out hurriedly.
Yan Mu smiled, "Do you want them to fight?"
Liu Yunxiang covered her mouth and smiled: "It's better to fight between them than to point the finger at you."
The people of the Ministry of Rites are the most ancient. Instead of reasoning with them, it is better to spend less time and throw away the problems to others.
"News came from Nanzhou early in the morning that the local government raised several trucks of food and money, but due to uneven distribution, there was a small-scale conflict between the Central Plains Army and the Northwest Army." Yan Mu shook his head, "It may not be that there is no one."
After eating, it seems like I will put pressure on the court again, and more accurately, I will put pressure on me."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, "Shangguan Xu's instructions."
"No matter who ordered it, military pay is the most urgent thing, but you said that there was a blizzard in Nanzhou, but there was no news coming from there.
“
"Did you believe me?"
"Not really, but it would be interesting if there was a blizzard and two armies rushed out."
"Then wait."
The next day, the queen sent an oral order and summoned Liu Yunxiang to the palace.
Liu Yunxiang thought for a moment, "She has been too peaceful these days, so what are she going to hold back?"
"Avoid the edge." Yan Mu sat up, "I have been in charge of the government these days. They are afraid that I will settle the old accounts, so they have been very peaceful. Now they think I must be in a hurry, so they try to make trouble. After all, I will bring down me and benefit from it.
The biggest one is the fourth prince.”
Liu Yunxiang sighed, "So there will definitely be no good things to enter the palace today."
After breakfast, Liu Yunxiang finished dressing and walked into the palace in a carriage.
The snow had stopped, but the snow was thick on the road, and the carriage was walking very slowly. When it arrived at the palace gate, Liu Yunxiang got off the carriage and took Zijin in.
"Yun Xiang!"
Hearing someone shouting, Liu Yunxiang turned around and saw that it was Su Rumeng. She stopped and waited for her to come.
These days, Su Rumeng looks very good. I think it is related to the fact that the third prince went to Yanzhou and could not cause trouble for her.
"San Sister-in-law."
When Su Rumeng approached, Liu Yunxiang saluted her.
Su Rumeng stepped forward and held Liu Yunxiang's hand, "We don't need these false gifts."
Liu Yunxiang nodded and turned to hug Su Rumeng's arm, "Sister Su, I heard that you took Yu'er to a small stay in the suburbs of the city. I still want to visit you another day."
"It's cold in the village. We're back to the city before it snows."
"Then I'll go to your house."
"good."
As the two talked, they saw Wei Shuyi coming down from the front porch.
He stepped forward to salute, but Liu Yunxiang didn't like to pay attention to him and pulled Su Rumeng down the steps.
There was a snow on the steps, and Su Rumeng slipped. Liu Yunxiang subconsciously wanted to help her, but as soon as she reached out, Wei Shuyi rushed up and hugged Su Rumeng.
