The emperor spent half of the court meeting to decide on the candidate for left prime minister, and Lord Tang was transferred from Yushitai to Menxia Province.
The Minister of Justice was transferred to Yushitai to take over. The person who took over the Ministry of Justice was not the Left and Right Minister, but Zhang Shide, the Jiedushi of Jiannan Road. The Left Minister of the Ministry of Justice was transferred from outside, and the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice was promoted to the rank of Left Minister. Tang He was appointed as the Right Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Patrolling the censor, inspecting prefectures and counties all over the world on behalf of the emperor, and reviewing cases for the Ministry of Punishment...
Other departments also changed accordingly, and the post of Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs became vacant and was taken over by Yang Heshu...
After the transfer of official positions was completed, the emperor began to point out the new rice seed. Zhou Lizhong had been named the sixth-grade Sinong Temple Prime Minister. However, the civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty were not fools. The main credit for knowing the new rice seed was Zhou Manbaishan and others.
However, the new rice seeds were grown in Zhou Man's field, and those who did what she was told were from the Zhou family. I heard that she had always liked flowers and plants, and she would bring a hoe with her whenever she went out for an outing.
She had to dig it up and go home to study it.
So this new rice seed was probably cultivated by her.
The emperor thought so too, so he directly ignored Bai Shan and others and awarded Zhou Man a reward.
In the Chongwen Hall, we have reached the end of the four-level compilation, and the next step up is the office affairs, which is the position of Kong Jijiu.
The emperor did not want to give Zhou Man another agricultural official, so he directly granted him a title, from county lord to princess, and the fiefdom remained in Yueyang.
As for Bai Shan, Bai Erlang and Yin or three people mentioned in Zhou Man's excerpts, the emperor gave them gold and silver rewards.
There were too few official positions, and among the four of them, except Zhou Man and Bai Shan, who were quite diligent, the other two were just people who took advantage of the situation and did not do anything else. The emperor did not want to let them waste their official positions, even if they had empty titles.
This time the court meeting was particularly long, from morning to afternoon, and the waiter brought a working meal at noon.
This is the second time Zhou Man has had lunch during the morning meeting, and it’s not delicious as always.
While everyone was concentrating on eating, Tang He turned around to face Zhou Man.
Zhou Man held his rice plate, thought for a moment, picked a piece of reasonably good meat and put it on his rice plate, comforting him: "Senior Brother Tang, don't be sad, there is nothing wrong with touring the world. You
Isn’t your ideal that there will be no unjust cases in the world? This official position is playing a trick on you, and you can also take this opportunity to visit friends all over the world, and come and play with us when you go to Qingzhou."
Tang He said: "Look at my face. Not to mention black, how many ounces of flesh do I have left?"
He said: "It's not that I mind going on tour, but...it's not so urgent to go on tour, why don't I take care of myself? All my greatness and handsomeness are gone."
Magistrate Guo put down his chopsticks and looked up at him, "Master Tang, I want to eat, please don't hurt me."
Tang He: "What have I done to you?"
"It made me laugh and ruined the food." Magistrate Guo pointed at Yang Heshu who was sitting not far away and said, "You call him handsome in front of him?"
Tang He emphasized: "I'm talking about greatness!"
Yang Heshu said: "You are tired because you are on a patrol. As long as you pay more attention to rest, the meat will come back soon."
Zhou Man thought carefully and said, "Shall I give you a prescription?"
Tang He's heart tightened, "Didn't you say that the medicine is 30% poisonous? Is my current condition so serious that I need to take medicine?"
Zhou Man: "The medicinal diet prescription does not require you to take any medicine."
Tang He, "Didn't I still put the medicine in?"
Zhou Man: "Did you know that mutton, chicken and fish are also considered medicines in the eyes of doctors?"
Tang He immediately shut his mouth tightly. When Zhou Man lowered his head to eat and didn't speak for a long time, he hinted: "I think it is best to use fish as medicine."
Yang Heshu couldn't help but laugh out loud, shook his head and said to Zhou Man: "Mrs. Tang doesn't like the smell of fish, so her family rarely eats fish, but he likes to eat fish. Can you prescribe a medicinal diet for him?"
Give him your recipe and he can eat it whenever he wants at home."
Zhou Man nodded and said: "No problem, just wait, I will give you a prescription later."
She turned to Yang Heshu and asked, "Senior Brother Yang, do you want it?"
Yang Heshu shook his head, "I don't need this."
Mrs. Cui loves and respects him very much. As long as he is at home, there will always be a few of his favorite dishes on the table, and they can be changed so that they are not repeated.
Yang Heshu reminded Tang He, "Zhang Shangshu has to take over the affairs of Yizhou and go to Beijing. I'm afraid you can't wait, so before Feng Shangshu leaves office, go and ask about the inspection later."
Tang He sighed, "Your Majesty can't let me leave the capital immediately, can you?"
Magistrate Guo said: "It's not that bad. There have been changes in various ministries this time. Even the Imperial Medical Office has moved two officials. The affairs are complicated and cannot be sorted out in an instant. I should be able to keep you for a while."
Zhou Man said: "Look for an opportunity to ask His Majesty personally to see when he wants you to leave the capital."
Tang He: "...How about you help me ask?"
After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Man felt that it was not a big deal, so he nodded.
Tang He was choked and said after a long while: "Are you really planning to ask?"
Yang Heshu said to her: "Don't go, there is Mr. Old Tang here, this kind of thing is not our turn."
Tang He nodded, "I was quite smart two days ago. I didn't answer anything when asked by others, but now I take over everything."
Zhou Man really feels that this is not a problem. The emperor has been mentally exhausted and sad during this period. In addition, he was ill some time ago, so he feels very tired and not well recently.
Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were taking turns to nurse the emperor's body. Especially since she took a long time for acupuncture, the emperor and his ministers had a lot of gossip to talk about. She felt that Tang He's question was just gossip and she could have asked the emperor during the acupuncture.
But Senior Brother Yang and Senior Brother Tang both said so, so she suppressed the matter. She looked up and found that the emperor had put down his chopsticks to drink tea, and immediately immersed himself in eating rice, "Hurry up, Your Majesty has finished eating.
.”
When the other three heard this, they quickly sat back in their seats and tried to eat.
The emperor glanced down and found that there were still many people eating, so he picked up the chopsticks and empty plates and watched the ministers eating below.
He had been marching and fighting in the past, so he was used to eating faster, and this meal was not very delicious, so he had to eat it faster.
The emperor held the empty plate for half a quarter of an hour. Seeing that most people had finished eating and there was almost nothing left, he put down his chopsticks and plates.
When the officials saw this, they put down their dishes one after another, put their bowls and chopsticks into the food box and placed them beside them.
The waiters filed in and collected the food boxes one by one.
The emperor asked: "The autumn harvests in various places have ended one after another, and the next step is the autumn tax. This year, due to problems in the Jiangnan Saltworks and floods in Jingzhou, a lot of money and food have been allocated for dredging the Yellow River, but now the treasury is empty..."
The meeting lasted until the end of the ceremony. When Zhou Lizhong got up from his seat, he could hardly straighten his waist.
Zhou Man walked towards him, looked him up and down, then reached out and patted several acupuncture points on his waist and back. Zhou Lizhong immediately felt like he was breathing again. He lowered his voice and said, "Sister-in-law, it was hotter than me last time."
