In fact, Zhang Tao didn't know that Young Master Jiutian was cursing in a place with beautiful scenery and cute birds. Many birds around him were frightened and flew away, "I forgot, I didn't expect that this young master would make such a low-level mistake.
【.!” Young Master Jiutian has a skill book in his hand, and he doesn’t know who owns it.
"Wouldn't it be very shameful to go back now?" Young Master Jiutian thought of the way he said goodbye to Zhang Tao. It would be really embarrassing to go back.
"Forget it, kid, don't blame the master for being cruel. In fact, whether you have this secret book or not, it won't have a big impact on you. The future depends on you. An unknown and wonderful future is waiting for you."
Jiutian Yi Shao turned the secret book into ashes, and unconsciously thought of the time when he tortured the shadow secret book, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Gu Weiran was overjoyed when Zhang Tao returned, but he just issued an edict asking Zhang Tao to attend tomorrow's morning court. After a night's rest, he put on casual clothes. Zhang Tao did not wear official clothes. In the past, the position of the second-grade Ministry of Industry was filled by others. Zhang Tao
At this time, it can be said that having no official position means being light-hearted.
When they arrived at the main hall, everyone had already knelt down and worshiped. As soon as Zhang Tao entered the court, he heard a series of confessions. Many of them were Gu Weiran's direct confidants. They were all people who helped Gu Weiran achieve great things. They
They are all people who follow Gu Weiran and share weal and woe.
Nowadays, there are two old generals, one on the left and one on the right, majestic. Although they are old, they are more powerful. But those who bet correctly will get an extremely bright future.
As for some people who were not firm in their stance and started to help Gu Weiran, but then became like grassroots in favor of the eldest prince Kuching after he succeeded, they were also secretly eliminated by Gu Weiran. Unstable people must not be allowed to stay.
What surprised Zhang Tao was that Lu Kong and Chen Mi were among them. As the commanders of the Forbidden Palace, they were originally not qualified to serve in court, but Gu Weiran pulled them into the palace. Although they were not directly appointed, they
Everyone knows that they will definitely be promoted. This is just a signal to the ministers that these two people will rise to the top.
"Sir Zhang, please wait a moment. I will report to you right now." Chang Ying saw Zhang Tao, his eyes lit up, and he immediately said with great respect.
"Thank you." Zhang Tao clasped his fists slightly, Chang should be more respectful.
"Xuan." Zhang Tao heard Gu Weiran's voice clearly. When Zhang Tao stepped into the hall, the appointment ceremony inside had already ended, but Gu Weiran's face was expressionless at this time, his brows slightly furrowed, although he could not see any joy.
Angry, but there was a wrinkle at the corner of his mouth, as if he was exerting great force. People who are familiar with him can feel that the new emperor Gu Weiran is not very happy.
As for the old Prime Minister Luo Ming who was sitting next to him, Zhang Tao had met him several times, but because of this coup, he directly took a back seat. It seemed that it wouldn't be long before the Prime Minister's position would be abdicated in favor of someone more worthy.
The reason why he is still qualified to sit here is entirely because none of the new people appointed by Gu Weiran are qualified to sit in this position of prime minister. Although Zhang Tao is famous and well-known to every household, it is difficult for a man of about 20 years old to sit here.
Sitting in the position of Prime Minister, others will definitely say that Gu Weiran is crazy.
Therefore, Gu Weiran still respects this prime minister very much, but his rights have been taken back, and Luo Ming no longer has any real power in his hands. However, this old prime minister who has been wandering in the official world for a lifetime understands his situation very well and respects the ancient times.
When Weiran returned to the imperial city, he began to complain of illness and recuperate. When Kuching ascended the throne, he did not appear. Only after Gu Weiran inherited the throne and invited him here did he come here.
It seems that he has made up his mind and will finish the last shift conscientiously. Once Gu Weiran finds a suitable candidate, he can go home and enjoy a happy life.
It's just that such a big thing happened, and the two emperors took turns to ascend the throne. The time difference was only a few months. Whether it was because of Luo Ming's experience or his nominal care, Gu Weiran still valued this prime minister very much.
But looking at the old Prime Minister Luo Ming, sitting on the chair like Gu Weiran, he looked a little weak and curled up, with his old eyes half open and half closed, as if he had seen through the vicissitudes of the world, but he kept his mouth closed.
In the field, the minister of household affairs was blushing and thick-necked, with his beard flying and his eyes wide with anger. His sleeves were also rolled up, as if an old man of his age was trying to fight someone.
After endless debates with him, the indistinguishable person turned out to be a general under Yan Cha. Although he was under the old general's command, this minister of household affairs had no intention of retreating.
"Expand the army? Expand the army? People in your army know how to expand the army! But what about the money?" the minister of household affairs roared angrily, "The army is huge. Honghao country has raised millions of local garrison. Can't we use it? We need more money.
Expanding the army? Could it be that our annual military budget of tens of millions of silver taels cannot be used to support the local garrison? When something happens, we say that the military strength is insufficient? In this case, it is better to withdraw the local garrison! But military expenditures are needed.
I tell you! No, no, just no!"
Without waiting for the general to speak, the Minister of Household Affairs continued, "Are you asking for one million silver? Do you know what one million means? It represents the annual income of a large city. This year, snow disasters in the north and floods in the south have already spent money."
Two million silver, and it has affected several cities, and the damage has not been assessed. Besides, the military expenditure has exceeded the standard, and now you want to expand the army? If you really want to use troops, just recruit the local garrison."
This general was also criticized, "Nonsense, can those local garrison compare with the main army? Don't you know what the situation in the north is now?"
"How do I know?" The minister of household affairs raised his head, "Since you said that the local garrison is not good, then why spend so much military expenditure to support it every year? If it doesn't work, just withdraw it. After withdrawing, I will naturally have money.
Don’t you know how tight the treasury is?”
Seeing these two ministers quarreling like this in the court, Zhang Tao was stunned. Do these two people think that this is the emperor and above the court? They actually started quarreling here.
Chen Mi and Lu Kong cast helpless looks at Zhang Tao. Gu Weiran saw Zhang Tao and cleared his throat. When he coughed like this, the two quarreling ministers immediately shut up and each took a step back.
"Zhang Tao, you are finally here." Gu Weiran's originally indifferent expression was like ice and snow thawing and everything revived, "Come on, this is the first time you have seen the morning morning here, right? Sit down, I just want to listen to you
Opinion."
After saying that, Gu Weiran shouted, "Someone bring a chair for Zhang Tao."
Gu Weiran's words stunned everyone present. There were only three chairs in the entire court, one was Gu Weiran, one was Yi Tinghan, and the other was the old prime minister Luo Ming.
Although Yi Tinghan is a prostitute, she is still a queen after all. She occasionally listens to political affairs, and everyone knows Yi Tinghan's origins, so no one says anything, but now she actually wants to add a chair?
However, when the emperor spoke, Chang Ying immediately brought over the exquisite and luxurious chair with fine carvings. Just when he was about to put it down, Gu Weiran said with a smile, "Move it closer to me." The two Chang Ying worked hard to bring the chair to me.
The chair moved forward a little.
"Come closer, why are you so far away from me?" Gu Weiran seemed very dissatisfied.
The two Chang Yings understood immediately and continued to move the chairs upward. Finally, Gu Weiran showed a satisfied smile on his face, "Okay, come here, Zhang Tao, come and listen to this matter with me."
Suddenly, the whole place was silent, without any sound. Although Zhang Tao was very famous and was a great hero who continuously helped Gu Weiran, everyone even knew that Gu Weiran could sit in the emperor's position, almost relying on Zhang Tao, but the position of this chair
It's really too strange.
Originally, the place where Luo Ming sat was the first position on the left, but the position of this chair was actually the first position on the right. What does this mean? It means being equal to Luo Ming, and it means the position of prime minister!
Of course, Zhang Tao saw the problem at a glance. Looking at everyone's eyes, he was speechless. Is this the Prime Minister? This is not a position that everyone likes to sit, and it is not a position that everyone can sit in. Suddenly, it seemed as if there were nails on the chair.
Under the attention of everyone, Zhang Tao took a deep breath, then walked over and sat down as if his body was as heavy as a stone. Seeing Zhang Tao's reluctant expression, Gu Weiran had a smile in his eyes.
Yi Tinghan also used silk to gently help his beautiful little mouth. Of course, Zhang Tao saw the little actions of Gu Weiran and Yi Tinghan, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, which seemed to be quite aggrieved.
The ministers below are all sharp-eyed people, and they can completely see such a subtle atmosphere. This is not like the feeling of a monarch and ministers at all. However, they see it in their eyes and hide it in their hearts, and will not show it at all.
At this moment, the old Prime Minister Luo Ming opened his eyes. A strange color flashed in his originally sleepy eyes, and then disappeared again, and then continued to look sluggish.
The ministers looked at Gu Weiran and then at Zhang Tao. Everyone was a little weird for a while, but Gu Weiran had a relaxed look on his face. The wrinkles at the corners of his mouth disappeared completely, as if he didn't notice everyone's weirdness at all.
Smiling slightly, "Okay, you can continue talking, but your voices are a little lower. It would be bad if you disturb the old prime minister."
Gu Weiran seemed to be telling a joke casually, but who dared to laugh at this time? Everyone suddenly fell silent. The minister of household affairs and the general also closed their mouths, shrank their heads, and said nothing honestly, and then backed away gently.
Look at Gu Weiran.
"What? You're not talking anymore?" Gu Weiran smiled calmly.
You can hear the needle drop below, as if the world has changed, "Okay then, I think you must be tired after talking for a long time. Since you don't want to talk, let us listen to Zhang Tao's opinion."
Hearing Gu Weiran's words, Zhang Tao was stunned and asked for his own opinion? What does this mean? Do you want to push yourself into a sea of swords and fire? Supporting the minister of household affairs will offend the general, and supporting the expansion of the army and knowing that the minister of household affairs will not please both sides.
When everyone stared at Zhang Tao, he stood up helplessly, "I just sat down." Zhang Tao felt helpless.
(Jiutian Yishao is gone, Zhang Tao will face the world alone, but Yuehua believes that you will be with him, please ###!)
