Chapter 212
I don't know if Li Jingfu is not floating, but it is true that he has committed an old problem recently.

The mountain of memorials was a pain in the ass to read, the whole article was full of nonsense, the words and sentences were all thoughtful and flashy, and in the end all the writing was trivial.

Judging from the memorials, it seems that in a peaceful and prosperous age, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, officials have nothing to play, and they can only play from small things.

For example, in a certain county in East China, the upper reaches of the continuous rainstorm caused flash floods in a certain downstream county, the fertile fields were flooded, the villages were destroyed, and the victims were everywhere. They were anxiously waiting for the government to allocate funds for rescue.

The memorial also asked, if supplies are urgently needed for disaster relief, can the food in the county government warehouse be used?
Even Li Jingfu, who doesn't understand government affairs, was angry when he read this memorial. There was nothing wrong with reporting to the court, but the county magistrate was too inflexible.

The memorial was sent to Jiankang from the local area, waited for the cabinet to review it, waited for his approval, and finally sent it back to the local area. I don’t know how much time was delayed. By the time it was sent back to a certain county, the disaster might be over.

This disaster relief is a fart disaster relief, the victims may all die, and in the end the disaster relief funds may be used, where did they go?
Maybe the devil knows!

It's no wonder that Xia Jing always complained to him that the government was corrupt. It had reached the point of no cure, and it had to be overthrown and order re-established.

It's just that Li Jingfu's ability is limited. He only knows that the government is corrupt and needs to be reformed, but he doesn't know where to start.

The courtiers knew the temper of the former Qian Wang very well. Not long after he sat on the throne, and just after the three-month filial piety period of the first emperor, the courtiers sent countless beauties to the palace.

From now on, our Lord Qian, the current emperor's life in the palace has never been boring, from sleeplessness to the company of a beautiful woman, except for the government affairs, life is not to mention how comfortable!

"Your Majesty, Beauty Cui is asking to see you."

Hearing the voice outside the door, Anu looked at the emperor.

Li Jingfu frowned slightly for the government, but when he heard the beauty was coming, he immediately relaxed it.

Seeing this, Anu knew it in his heart.

Sure enough, Li Jingfu said: "Beauty please come in."

Before the beauty came in, he looked at Anu: "Where's my health soup? Bring it here."

Anu heard the words and got up to finish the stew for the maid, and Wen brought over the soup from the side hall.

Li Jingfu drank the bad-smelling tonic soup in one gulp, then rinsed his mouth with tea.

Cui Meiren walked in slowly from the door, "My concubine has seen the emperor."

"If you don't stay in the harem, why did you come to the front court?"

Cui Meiren took two steps forward with a sad expression on her face: "Your Majesty, don't you look at what time it is, and this concubine has not seen the Emperor and missed you for a day."

Li Jingfu looked out of the window, it was already dark outside, "What time is Anu?"

Anu glanced at the hourglass, "Go back to the emperor, it's already Xu time."

"It's Xu time so soon?"

Li Jingfu sighed in his heart how time flies, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

"Your majesty, you have a lot of time to manage and work hard for state affairs, but you also have to take care of your health. After a busy day in the previous court, it's time to rest!" Cui Meiren persuaded softly.

The beauty's words reached Li Jingfu's heart, he pushed the memorial aside, and stood up: "Cui beauty is right, after a busy day, my body is sore, it's time to rest, let's drive to Qinxinyuan!"

The emperor hunched over and was supported by Cui Meiren to walk out. The joy on her face was felt by everyone in the palace.

Anu frowned tightly, looking at Cui Meiren Pingting's graceful back, he was really worried about whether the emperor's body could bear it.

It is said that a woman's waist is a deadly knife; there is no plowed field but exhausted cattle!

The emperor has reached the age of knowing the destiny, if he continues to indulge like this, will his body be able to bear it?

Li Jingfu didn't know Anu's worry at the moment, he found that he had a headache for a day, and after seeing the beauty, his head miraculously disappeared.

Sure enough, beauty is the cure for everything!

In the early morning of the second day, Li Jingfu came out of the harem yawning all the way, sitting on the Golden Luan Hall, still looking tired.

The officials standing in the main hall saw this scene, everyone knew each other well, it was the most difficult to get rid of the beauty's favor!
"Your Majesty, the late emperor's three-month filial piety period has passed, and it's time to hold the enthronement ceremony. However, the concubine and several princes are still in the Gyeonggi area. Are you calling them back?" Minister of Rites was the first to speak.

Anu is now the eunuch who is the supervisor of ceremonies, and he was also in the hall in the early dynasty.

He raised his eyebrows when he heard the words of the Minister of Rites, and asked back: "It is true that the emperor should hold the enthronement ceremony, but in the Gyeonggi area, the princess led several princes and tried their best to take it back from Beidi. When they come back at this time, are they planning to hand over the Gyeonggi area to the Beidi people or the rebels?"

The Minister of Rites glared at Anu displeasedly, "Your Majesty, you have already appointed officials in the Gyeonggi area to take over. I believe that with the assistance of the army, the Gyeonggi area can develop stably. I don't know why Anu is so worried? Are you right? Our soldiers and horses of Dayu are so unconfident?"

Anu glanced at him contemptuously, "I have full confidence in Dayu's soldiers and horses, but I don't have confidence in you! Now that internal and external troubles are at the critical moment of Dayu, you actually want the princess to abandon the capital for your own selfishness." region, have you ever thought about what the people in the Gyeonggi region will suffer?"

"I" Minister of the Ministry of Rites's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, "I just held the emperor's enthronement ceremony perfectly, so I don't leave any regrets. Is there something wrong with that?"

Anu said mercilessly: "You are right, but in special circumstances, the set of etiquette you want to follow can sometimes be changed flexibly, don't just blindly follow!"

Li Jingfu yawned and stopped them from continuing to argue.

"Okay, let's keep everything simple in the enthronement ceremony. The canonization edict is drawn up first. As for the Gyeonggi area, it will be discussed after the court meeting!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites was so angry that his liver hurts. How could he be so energetic when he was taught by such a worthless person in the Great Dynasty?
It's just that the emperor has already opened his mouth, no matter how unwilling he is, he has no choice but to shut up wisely.

The morning ended amidst the quarrel, talking about trivial matters, which made Li Jingfu want to sleep even more.

As soon as the court was gone, several important officials in the court followed the emperor to the imperial study without being invited.

As for Li Jingfu who was walking in front, he felt a little bored. He didn't have a good rest last night and got up early today. Now he just wants to go back and catch up on sleep, but the few courtiers behind are a bit annoying!

As soon as the group entered the imperial study, the chief guard presented a letter.

After sitting down, Li Jingfu picked it up and looked at the handwriting on it. He recognized the handwriting, and it was the handwriting of his youngest son, Xiao Wu.

When he opened the letter, he found that the handwriting was Xiao Wu's, but the tone of his speech was harsh, but it was Xia Jing's tone.

Xia Jing did not greet her as a wife in the letter, and the beginning of the letter was to accuse Li Jingfu of wasting time in Jiankang, holding a trump card in her hand but not knowing how to play it, a good set of cards was placed in front of her as a display!

The courtiers did not resist with all their strength when the rebels broke through the city. They were really disloyal to the court and unrighteous to the people.

Such disloyal and unrighteous ministers, let them go to court formally, is it shameful?
In the letter, Xia Jing questioned him, holding the trump card in his hand, wanting power and power, and having someone who wants to have someone, why is he being led by the nose by the courtiers?
Why not take advantage of the instability of the court, vigorously rectify the court, and clear those corrupt officials and scum out of the court?Is the world still in full swing?
The court is corrupt and wants to extend its hand to the Gyeonggi area, isn't it afraid that she will chop off the hand in a fit of anger?

Now that the Dayu dynasty is riddled with holes, when employing people, there is no need to pay attention to the ancestral system and to discuss seniority.

He is the emperor of Dayu, so he can promote talents regardless of style. As long as he is capable, loyal to the court, and responsible to the people, he can be given a bigger stage to use his intelligence and wisdom to serve the people and serve Dayu. Make plans and make some achievements!
For officials in the court who only know about fighting for power, corruption, and forming cliques, according to their crimes, they should be killed, killed!The one who should lick the black hat should lick it.

Don't make them act as if the court doesn't work without them.

The few courtiers standing below looked at each other, not knowing who the emperor had received the letter from, but it actually made his face red, green, and colorful. It was even more exciting than the face-changing in Sichuan opera, and it was really beautiful!

"Your Majesty." Zuo Pushe whispered cautiously.

"Why did you follow here?" The emperor seemed to have just recovered.

Ministers: "."

The co-authors are all transparent people?
"Oh, it's good that you are here, I have something to talk to you about here." Li Jingfu raised the letter in his hand, "This is a letter from the princess, in fact, strictly speaking, she is already the queen of the Dayu Dynasty , She wrote to say that she has appointed Wei Dong as Jing Zhaoyin in the Gyeonggi area, and the officials you appointed a few days ago, it is best for you to recover them."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was in a hurry: "Your Majesty, the officials have already been appointed and the decree has been issued. How can you recover them? Besides, how is it proper for the Queen to interfere with the government? Your Majesty, don't forget that since ancient times, the inner palace has not been allowed to interfere in politics!"

Li Jingfu frowned slightly, and said hesitantly: "But, the queen said, if you don't chase them back, she will have to work harder and send them to the mine to dig for a few years of ore. It just so happens that her mine is not manned. Enough."

The courtiers present were all dumbfounded when they heard this. They never imagined that the princess, who had no sense of existence before, would actually say such outrageous and unreasonable words!

It really refreshed their three views!

Looking at the emperor's usual expression, could it be that this empress usually gets along with the emperor in this way?

"Your Majesty, may I ask where Wei Dong is from? When did he become a Jinshi?"

"I'm very clear!" Li Jingfu actually knew that this person was Xia Jing's personal guard, but he didn't want to listen to the courtiers' chatter, so he lied.

"Your Majesty, the Empress's move is not in line with the promotion regulations of the Ministry of Officials, and the Empress is even more suspected of nepotism. I think this move is greatly inappropriate and disrupts the promotion and transfer system of the Ministry of Officials.

If in the future, everyone learns from others and does not go through the appointment of the official department, and appoints cronyism, then is it necessary for the entire official department system to exist? "The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is arguing vigorously, and the power in his hands is being provoked. If he doesn't argue about one, two, three, how can he be reconciled!
Li Jingfu pondered for a while, and then said: "Aiqing is reasonable. If you do things as you said under normal circumstances, there are rules and regulations, but don't forget that the Xia family is doing special things for the good of Dayu! The government affairs in the Gyeonggi area are not If you take care of it, he will take care of it, and you have to take care of it alone, or do you want the Xia family to take care of it?"

Zuo Pushe looked up at the sun outside, it was rising from the east normally, the former Prince Qian also became a madman protecting his wife?

Minister of the Ministry of Officials has a headache, let a woman manage the Gyeonggi area, he would be crazy to agree!

Li Jingfu didn't care about the headache of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, it would be best to die of pain anyway, he could pick up the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials for one of his own people without doing anything.

"Master Zhang!"

"The minister is here."

"How much property is there in the treasury now?" Li Jingfu knew that the treasury was empty, but he really didn't know how much it was.

The Minister of the Household Department wanted to cry when the emperor asked about the national treasury, "Your Majesty, the national treasury has been in deficit for years and has already been emptied. If the tax is not collected before the autumn harvest this year, I am afraid that the officials will owe their salaries."

This news stunned Li Jingfu, "Da Yu is so poor?"

I can't imagine it!
Who would believe that a country is so poor that there are no pants left?
Mr. Zhang, Minister of the Household Department, told the truth: "Your Majesty, there have been disasters and deficits year after year. Even if the treasury is full of gold and silver, it will be exhausted one day. Besides, the treasury has not been considered rich since Dayu's establishment."

Li Jingfu hesitated for a while, but finally made up his mind: "Since the national treasury is so poor, we must increase revenue and reduce expenditure, put an end to extravagance and waste, and save from you and me."

As he said that, he looked at the Minister of Rites and said, "Of course saving should start with me, so that the entire capital can keep up with the imperial court and get out of our current predicament."

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites is confused. Hearing this, it means to save money, but if you save money, you save money. What does it have to do with him?
Could it be that the emperor wants him to help promote it so that everyone can know his character?

"The emperor wants to save money in the palace?"

"Yes, your treasury is not rich, and I don't have much money in my private treasury. In order to save the palace's expenses, I decided to lay off some personnel."

Li Jingfu turned his head and said to Anu: "Today and tomorrow, you will count the new beautiful women in the palace, and those beautiful women who have never served in bed should be released from the palace. It's a waste of food here, so it's better to let them go home."

Go and trouble yourself, don't come to the palace to trouble him, it costs money to raise a woman, rouge and gouache, clothes for four seasons, call for servants, which one is not piled up with money?

Anu responded blankly, he had served Li Jingfu for decades, and Anu could probably guess what was going on in his mind.

The reason why the emperor dismissed all the daughters is to save money, the most important thing is that he received the letter from the princess today, he was scolded bloody, and he was timid!

Although it is normal to marry a wife and take concubines in this era, Li Jingfu is afraid that he will not be able to spare him when the princess comes back!

Hearing this, Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites turned pale as a ghost with fright, and knelt down on the ground with a plop: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, the women who have entered the palace are your women, and if you let them out now, it is tantamount to killing them." They?"

The girl's reputation is as big as the sky, and nothing has ruined her reputation!
