Zhao Changqing's words made Zhao Changqing twitch his lips repeatedly, not to mention feeling distressed.
In Zhao Changqing's view, Yin Xiaoxiao was too "upright".
Did she forget how her husband died?
It was on that day that the emperor Sheng Hong personally served the poisoned wine and killed King Ning of Lu and King Min.
If King Lu was still here, why would the three of them, mother and son, have to live in the palace like hostages for several years. Now that they want to go to the palace, they still have to look at Xie Mingxi's face.
Yin Xiaoxiao also has a son. Brother Ting, the prince of Prince Ning, was also raised by Yin Xiaoxiao. They have a deep brotherly love. If there is a fight in the future, Brother Ting will definitely side with Brother Lin...
Huh! People will be punished by heaven and earth if they don't do it for themselves! She didn't believe that Yin Xiaoxiao had no selfish motives at all. The way he behaved now was just to please the empress and reassure the empress.
Zhao Changqing judged others by himself, sneered at Yin Xiaoxiao's hypocrisy, and smiled very affectionately: "Isn't it true? Over the years, everyone else has aged. Only the fifth younger brother and sister, their appearance has not changed much, and their temperament and temperament are the same as before.
He is so cheerful and upright!”
Yin Xiaoxiao smiled and glanced at the duplicitous Zhao Changqing: "Second sister-in-law has changed a lot."
Horse power can only be seen when the road is far away, and people's hearts can be seen over time.
No matter how tactful and thoughtful Zhao Changqing's words are, he can't hide his increasingly greedy and ugly face.
Zhao Changqing pretended not to hear the sarcasm in Yin Xiaoxiao's words, and pulled Yin Xiaoxiao back into the room with a smile: "As the queens of the middle palace, the seventh brother and sister work hard every day, and we, the sisters-in-law, are here to talk privately.
, just don’t bother the seventh younger siblings.”
Yin Xiaoxiao snorted inwardly. After all, he was kind by nature and did not sarcastically make a sound.
…
Zhao Changqing hid it and held it in without asking. Xie Mingxi just pretended that it didn't happen and never mentioned leaving the palace in front of Zhao Changqing.
Compared with patience, Xie Mingxi has never lost.
Anyway, she was definitely not the one who couldn't stand it in the end.
A month later, Brother Ting, who was full of spring breeze, returned to Beijing from Shu and rushed back to the capital to celebrate the New Year.
After the New Year's Meeting in the 14th year of Jianye's reign, several princes of the vassal who were in charge of political studies were sent to study in the six ministries and serve as errands. Brother Ji went to the Ministry of Rites, Brother Lin went to the Ministry of Punishment, and Brother Ting went to the Ministry of Works.
Princess Duanrou went to Hubu.
As soon as this imperial edict was issued, the court exploded again, and the courtiers quarreled endlessly. They quarreled for several days. During this period, there was an interesting story in the Chen family that the father beat his son so hard that he couldn't get out of bed...
Unfortunately, the emperor's will could not be violated, so Princess Duanrou went to study at the Ministry of Finance.
"The six ministries in the court are the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry. The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion of officials below the fourth rank in the court, and is the head of the six ministries. The Ministry of Husbandry is in charge of the world's money, grain, and taxes, and its position is second only to the six ministries.
Officials."
Moving to the Qing Palace, Sheng Hong patiently taught A Luo: "The Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette, and the selection of candidates for the imperial examination is also in charge of the Ministry of Rites. The Ministry of War is in charge of all the soldiers of Daqi. Only when the military morale is stable can Daqi be stable. Therefore, the Ministry of War seems to be inconspicuous on weekdays.
It’s noisy, but nothing can go wrong.”
"As for the Ministry of Punishment, it is in charge of criminal matters. The Ministry of Industry is in charge of all engineering and construction matters in Daqi. It is also very important."
A Luo served in the Yiqing Hall for one year and served as a political official in the Jinluan Hall for one year. She had a clear understanding of the division of labor among the six departments. After hearing this, she whispered: "I know what my father meant."
"Among the six departments, the Ministry of Personnel ranks first. But for the emperor, the most important thing is actually the Ministry of War. Therefore, the Minister of War must be the most appropriate and loyal minister to the emperor."
"Civil officials form cliques and influence the government. Military generals form cliques, but they can subvert the country. Only by holding the military power of Qi in the palm of his hand can the emperor sit firmly on the throne, and no one can cause big troubles."
"So, my father sent several of his cousins to the Ministry of Rites, Punishments, and Works to learn how to serve as errands. But he would not let them enter the Ministry of War."
In short, the civil service and military affairs are all the territory of the emperor. Even Aluo cannot get involved for the time being.
Sheng Hong had a smile in his eyes and motioned for A Luo to continue.
A Luo talked eloquently: "The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of money, grain, and taxes. The treasury is full, people's hearts are stable, and they have the confidence to do anything. In the Ministry of Revenue, I am afraid that no one can be found who is not greedy or bribery. The Ministry of Revenue has always been good at it.
It is the yamen with the most oil and water."
"Although all the ministers in the court claim to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, how many of them are truly loyal to the emperor and willing to share his worries? Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people opposed to me joining the Ministry of Household Affairs to study."
"In the final analysis, the ministers saw that they could not resist my father's intention to appoint me as the crown prince, so they thought that I would be a wood and clay sculpture. It is best if I am not involved in ordinary affairs. In the future, the power will be transferred to others, and I can only be at the mercy of the ministers."
The smile in Sheng Hong's eyes grew stronger, and his face was full of pride: "My A Luo has really grown up."
"You are right. The monarch and his ministers are actually in opposition. The monarch's power is superior to that of his ministers. If the emperor sitting on the throne is fatuous and incompetent, it would not be surprising for his ministers to ignore his monarch's power."
"A Luo, my father asked you to go to the Ministry of Revenue, not to seize Shangshu Xiao's power. But to ask you to take a good look at the Ministry of Revenue and know how the ministers do their jobs."
"As a king, you can pretend to be confused when it is innocuous, but you can never be really confused. These old foxes in the court have no fuel-efficient lamp. Without ability, there is no way to defeat them."
"Father has been on the throne for more than ten years, but he still dare not say that he has complete control over the ministers in the court. If you want to command the people, you have to show your true ability."
A Luo's eyes sparkled and she responded seriously: "Father, don't worry, my daughter will do her best."
…
Regarding government affairs, Xie Mingxi didn't say anything. She just said to A Luo: "Within one year, you must understand the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs clearly. You can go to the Ministry of Personnel next year, and you can go to the Ministry of War the year after that."
The most important thing is the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of War. A Luo must be thoroughly familiar with and master it.
The Ministry of Etiquette, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Industry allowed the three Ji brothers to stay well. A Luo didn't have to go anymore, which would save the three Ji brothers from embarrassment.
A Luo responded solemnly: "My daughter will definitely live up to her mother's high expectations."
A'Luo has grown taller again, the heroic and decisive look in her eyebrows is stronger than before, and she gradually has the demeanor of the future crown prince of Da Qi in her speech.
Xie Mingxi looked at her daughter and her eyes softened: "Aluo, you are going to study at the Ministry of Revenue. It is not convenient to bring too many people with you. In addition to the bodyguards, you can just bring one more female official with you."
A Luo said without hesitation: "Just ask Miss Yun to accompany you."
Yun Cuiwei has been a female official by A Luo's side for several years. In terms of qualifications, talent and academic skills, she is steady and unrivaled. She can be called A Luo's right-hand man.
Xie Mingxi nodded slightly: "You can make up your own mind about this kind of thing!"
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, with everyone watching, Princess Duanrou entered the Ministry of Household Affairs under the protection of more than a hundred imperial guards.
