I directed the Xuanwumen Incident

Chapter 250 The first thing you do when you take office in the Ministry of Industry is to refute the imperial decree! (55)

Royal Palace.

Ministry of Industry.

Yan Lide, the general supervisor and minister of the Ministry of Industry, is working hard.

He has to execute the edicts issued by the superiors, and he has to review the drawings and accounts submitted by the subordinates. He is exhausted like a dog.

So much so that at this moment, he didn't even notice that someone came in, he only thought that it was the subordinates under his command who came.

Just listen to him casually say:

"Go, pour me a cup of tea, I'm dying of thirst."

"Uh... well."

The man was slightly taken aback, but nodded happily, and turned around to pour tea.

Only then did Yan Lide raise his eyes, and when he saw the face of the visitor, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul!

"Bu... Bu Zun?!"

He got up quickly and said in surprise,
"It turns out that the venerable minister has returned, and the subordinate official offended the venerable minister. He really deserves to die!"

"Minister, please keep your hand! Come, come, come, come, come by yourself, come by yourself..."

OMG!

I'm afraid he is crazy!He even asked the dignified minister Xu Gong to make tea for him!

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay..."

Xu Fenglei didn't listen to him, he poured a cup of tea for him, handed it over with a smile and said,

"I'm not here these days, you've worked hard."

"It's only right for me to pour you a cup of tea as a reward..."

"Come on, let's drink."

Yan Lide: "..."

He trembled with his hands, looking extremely embarrassed.

This is not the case, and it is not the case.

My dear mother, this may affect my official career!

"Come on!"

Xu Fenglei urged,

"It's hot!"

Yan Lide: "!!!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

He quickly took the tea, took a sip into his mouth, and then——

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Cough, cough, cough!"

My throat is hot!
Seeing Yan Lide's embarrassed appearance, Xu Fenglei couldn't help feeling helpless.

"Am I that scary? Take it easy, take it easy."

He waved his hand, and immediately sat down on the main seat in the hall.

Yan Lide breathed a sigh of relief, then put down his teacup, picked up a stack of books, and stood in front of Xu Fenglei.

"Ministry, these are the affairs of the Ministry of Industry that have been handled by the officials in the past few days. If you don't review them yourself, the officials will not dare to issue them."

He respectfully said,

"Are you going to read it yourself, or have the subordinates report it?"

Xu Fenglei crossed his legs, sat on the chair and waved his hands.

"No, you can figure it out yourself."

He casually said,

"You don't need me for small things, you can handle them yourself; you don't need to ask me for big things, you just report them directly."

"In a word, I don't worry if you do things, it's that simple!"

Yan Lide: "@#￥%...&@!!!"

After hearing Xu Fenglei's words, his eyes widened to the maximum, showing a dull look.

This……

This is this...

He had imagined how he would look like when he met Xu Fenglei countless times, but he never thought...it would look like this!
This is completely the style of the shopkeeper who throws his hands away!

Are you really here to work for the Ministry of Industry? !

After being dazed for a long time, Yan Lide finally came back to his senses, and stammered slightly:
"Thank you... Thank you Buzun for your trust, but... but there are some things, the lower officials really can't make up their minds, and the Buzun must personally approve."

"For example, of these two letters, one was sent by Shang Shusheng, and the other was sent by His Majesty himself, you have to read them yourself..."

After finishing speaking, he quickly handed over the two books, for fear that Xu Fenglei would just throw his hands and run away.

"Ok."

Xu Fenglei nodded slightly and said,

"Let me declare first, it's not that I don't do anything... I want to do more important things. Naturally, I will leave these trivial matters to you."

As he spoke, he began to read.

"Yes Yes Yes……"

Yan Lide nodded like a chicken pecking rice,
"The minister is busy with affairs, and he has to participate in the political affairs of Henan, and he also has to teach the princes. These trivial matters of the Ministry of Industry should not be troubled by the minister to deal with them himself."

He followed Xu Fenglei's words,

"The lower officials also know that the minister is not easy, so except for the documents sent by the three provinces and His Majesty, the others dare not bother the minister."

"The letter from Shangshu Province is about the Turkic invasion and the order to build fortifications inside and outside Chang'an. The Ministry of Households has already approved the money. It is urgent for the Ministry of Industry to start construction and construction without delay."

Xu Fenglei glanced at it and nodded.

"approved."

he said,

"You arrange it immediately and recruit craftsmen to build it day and night. This matter really cannot be delayed."

"If there are not enough craftsmen, you can go to the Ministry of War to help with my warrant. Now that Du Ruhui is in charge of the Ministry of War, he will still give me face."

When Yan Lide heard the words, his expression suddenly became happy.

There is a powerful minister, that is different!
According to the status of the three provinces and six ministries, the Ministry of Industry can be said to be the last, the most unpopular department.

All other ministries can issue orders to the Ministry of Industry for cooperation, but it is extremely difficult for the Ministry of Industry to ask other departments to cooperate.

As for this order to transfer troops, send it to another minister of the Ministry of Industry. Believe it or not, the Ministry of War will not give you a bird?
The sewer department ushered in a big man with all-hands and eyes, and finally there is no need to beg grandpa to sue grandma in the future!
"As ordered."

Yan Lide complied, and said again,

"The second is His Majesty's will, which is to build a grand palace for the Supreme Emperor so that the Supreme Emperor can spend his old age in peace."

"Your Majesty requested the Ministry of Industry to select a site as soon as possible and provide design drawings. Once the imperial court has enough money in the future, construction will start immediately."

Xu Fenglei frowned as he looked at the will, and remained silent for a long time.

"Ministry?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Yan Lide yelled again.

"This decree, send it back."

Xu Fenglei said.

"...Ah?" Yan Lide said blankly, "What did you say?"

"I said, call back."

Xu Fenglei repeated his words again, and snorted coldly,

"To build a big palace, the silver consumption will be at least 300 million taels. How much is the treasury now?"

"Money is needed everywhere now, not to mention the military pay needed for war. In the past two years, there have been constant disasters in various places, and the disaster relief alone is not enough. How can there be money to build the palace for the Supreme Emperor?"

"The money was used to build the palace of the Supreme Emperor, and the soldiers don't care? Do the common people care?"

Yan Lide shivered.

The imperial decree of the emperor... can it be returned? !
"This...Maybe His Majesty will spend part of it every year, and maybe gradually complete the construction..."

He said weakly,
"It's His Majesty's will, if the minister calls back, I'm afraid it won't be good?"

Xu Fenglei sneered when he heard this.

"According to His Majesty's vision, even if such a luxurious palace has sufficient funds and works non-stop day and night, it will take at least three years, and part of it will be spent every year?"

He said bluntly,

"Even if it takes ten years, it won't be completed! At that time, the old lady and the emperor are almost turned up, so why not repair him?"

"Once this blueprint is designed, it will be a huge burden on Datang's finances."

"So, I don't agree...you call back now, the emperor blames it, and I will bear it. Are you a coward?"

Yan Lide: "..."

"Yes Yes……"

He nodded tremblingly, and his heart was beating wildly.

The first thing I did when I took office was to refute the imperial decree——

This is too exciting!His little heart can't take it anymore!
