Princess Fuyao

Chapter 114 Bylaws
"Fortunately, I didn't listen to the old man Liao Binfeng, and went to the Golden Arrow Collection to practice, otherwise, I would be the one who is missing now." The prince said to the queen in the queen's Yukun Palace very fortunately .

"Prince!" The queen snapped angrily.It was their own proposal to let the prince practice, and the emperor nodded in agreement. Now that something happened, she not only has to bear the responsibility, even the emperor can't hold his head up.Although Zheng Guifei pried the corner of the wall by herself and snatched that opportunity, she did it on her own, but the crown prince couldn't say it so loudly, could he?If the emperor finds out, what will happen!The emperor didn't like the prince very much in recent years. The very important reason was that he didn't have the demeanor of the eldest son and he didn't have brotherhood.The third prince is his own younger brother, and now his life and death are uncertain, and the prince is gloating here, how can the queen not hate him for being ignorant?
Queen Wang sighed, she was chosen by the Empress Dowager to be the concubine of Emperor Jiaming who was still the prince at that time, since the man took the top spot in the Golden Luan Hall, her life has not been comfortable, although Wang Shuliang is only a concubine, but relying on her mother's power , in the harem, there is wind and rain, and she looks like a housewife. She is a dignified queen, and she has to be cautious, watching the faces of the Wang family. Now, she is over 40 years old, and she has endured humiliation for ten years. It was so easy that the Wang family lost their power, and they could finally stand upright and live a life, and they must not be dragged down by their son.

Now, everyone in the harem who has a son hopes that their child will become the next widow, and they work hard one by one. Concubine Zheng, just dances more cheerfully and higher. The emperor is determined to be the crown prince. Now he is 22 years old, but the position of the crown prince is becoming more and more unstable. How can the queen not be anxious or worried?

"Queen mother, I just said that, don't be angry." The emperor couldn't make up his mind to abolish the prince because he replied very quickly. Now, the prince started to speak kindly to his mother, and he moved the brocade stool he was sitting on. Moved, moved closer to the queen, and begged in a low voice, "I will never say that kind of thing again, don't be angry, it's easy to get wrinkles when you are angry."

The queen grinned, laughing like crying, how can a mother and son have trouble?The prince did not live up to expectations, and he was also his own son. The queen poked the prince on the forehead angrily, annoyed and helplessly.

"Mother, my child was ignorant before, so you have to worry about it. From now on, I will definitely listen to Mr. Chen's advice, be a good person, and work hard to do errands. Just look at it."

Although the prince had promised countless times perfunctorily in the past, but this time, from his eyes to his face, he looked solemn, as if he was speaking from his heart. The empress felt relieved, and softly warned her son:
"You are the eldest son of the father and the eldest brother of many brothers and sisters. You must not only take good care of yourself, but also set an example for your younger brothers and sisters. You must care about them and love them. You must not do anything that hurts the dignity of the royal family for your own selfishness. things come."

"Yes! I remember what the mother taught me."

"Also, Yu Gong, you are the crown prince and your father's right-hand man. You must know how to share his worries, listen to the opinions of all parties with an open mind, and weigh the pros and cons. Everything starts from the perspective of revitalizing the country, starting from sharing your father's worries. From the perspective of solving problems, try to do what you are supposed to do.”

"Well, okay. Mother, I heard that you have been in poor health recently. I asked my husband for leave today. I came in to see you. It will be noon soon. I will go back to have dinner and take a nap. In the afternoon, I will continue to listen to my husband's analysis. Consider the pros and cons of the current court situation, and then think about it to see if you can do something to help the father."

"That's right!" The queen's face suddenly brightened, "Then you should go back to the palace quickly, the queen mother won't keep you for dinner."

"Retire, my son!" The crown prince became even more solemn in saluting, and the queen became more and more happy. Seeing her son disappearing, she said happily to herself, "The prodigal son will not change his money back, and the crown prince has finally grown up."

Compared with the happy mood of the Empress, Emperor Jiaming's mood was extremely depressed at this moment. His good days as Emperor Taiping for more than ten years came to an end.Before the Tartars invaded, his country and country were beautiful, and there was no place that was not beautiful, and no place was not comfortable.But right now, with 10,000+ Tartars harassing the border guards, all the scum hidden under the good surface has surfaced: state capitals and county government offices, government agencies account for more than half, and corrupt officials are everywhere. What saddened him the most was that there were spies working for the Tartars with the salary of the Yong Dynasty.

It turns out that I am such an incompetent and stupid person!Emperor Jiaming thumped his forehead in resentment, the emperor was unknown, and the courtiers were stupid, watching his ancestors fight bloody battles, and the beautiful rivers and mountains they fought for were about to be ruined in his own hands.He closed his eyes in pain, blaming himself in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Guo is asking to see you."

"Xuan!" Emperor Jiaming raised his spirits, Guo Chenghai's great cause of clearing up the bureaucracy, it would have been better if it had started earlier.

"Your Majesty!" Guo Chengbo wanted to salute.

"No gift, give a seat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Guo Chenghai is now the number one celebrity in front of the Emperor, but he is not arrogant at all. Every time he sees him, he insists on paying the big gift sincerely, unlike Lord Fu, who excuses himself to be old and not healthy. Being flexible was just a symbolic gesture, and when the emperor said excuse me, he immediately stopped and happily sat on the brocade pier brought by the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, over the past year or so, Lord Hao and I have also mobilized many county officials, and found that some people are still intelligent, but because we don't know the rewards and punishments, they become lazy. Master Hao and I have been thinking for a long time. , I feel that the reward and punishment system we implemented before is still insufficient,..."

"Since you know there are deficiencies, then make timely changes and supplements to make it more perfect."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Guo Chenghai bowed and replied, he was most afraid of being labeled as disrespecting the ancestors, so he had to act very cautiously.

"Your Majesty, these are the deficiencies and remedies that Mr. Hao and I have noticed in dealing with official affairs. Please take a look at them."

"Well, let me see!"

Emperor Jiaming took the memorial and read it carefully sentence by sentence. For some, he closed his eyes slightly and thought about it carefully before continuing to read. The more he read, the greater the shock in his heart.

This piece of paper is really painstakingly written, full of golden jade and good words.

"I allow you to follow this charter."

"Your Majesty, for the sake of prudence, I'd like to ask the ministers of the court to read it before refuting it to see if there are any deficiencies."

"Okay!" Emperor Jiaming said that this one is the best, and he is as good as others.He looked at the memorial again, raised his head and said, "It's an extraordinary time, and we have to deal with it extremely. It has been found out that Ji Fuyao, the Wei Wei of the Golden Arrow Collection, has indeed made an indelible contribution in this battle against the Tartars. From the time she arrived On the first day, he dealt with the evils in time, trained the sergeants, and when the war broke out, he was resourceful, brave, resourceful, and loyal to the court. Such officials should be rewarded in time, and don't be delayed by the revision of the system."

"Emperor Shengming!"

"Also, Marquis Muhan of Liang Kingdom has made great contributions, and this is what we really want to commend."

Guo Chenghai didn't answer, how should the Marquis of Liang be commended?Reward gold and silver?Or expand the fiefdom?

Seeing that the courtiers were silent, the emperor also understood what it meant, and he suggested in a tone of voice: "Promote this Ji Fuyao to the Daotai of Jinbei Road, governing Linhai Mansion and Jinjianji, plus Xin County, Sanhe Mansion, Liang Guohou Yinhu's The fiefdom has also been changed to this size."

Guo Chenghai was taken aback, and reminded the emperor: "The road from Xin County to the capital is smooth, and there are only a few small rivers. Isn't this inappropriate?"

"No. Right now, Yinhu is still thinking about revenge, and it's time to contribute to Dayong."

After the emperor said so, Guo Chenghai didn't say anything.

Emperor Jiaming pointed to the map: "From Xin County to Linhai Mansion, it's like a big passage. I hope that Zhao Yinhu and Ji Fuyao can ride their horses and patrol back and forth, defending the land of Dayong to the east of the Northern Camp."

"The emperor is wise!" Guo Chenghai felt that the emperor's decision was also very reasonable.

"Your Majesty, there is news that the reason why Linhai Mansion was able to defend the city for ten days was not the result of the prefect and Tongzhi defending the city with all their might, but the dean of Yonghua Academy named Zhai Qingquan. After the officials abandoned the city and fled, Since Gao Fen bravely led the army and the people to resist the Tartars, it bought time for the guards of the Golden Arrow Collection, otherwise, they might not be able to defend the two places."

"Oh? Since there are such capable people, the local officials refused to write a letter to ask for a letter in order to cover up their incompetence. Those idiots in Linhai Mansion are nothing more than that. Why is Lu Qingshan also dumb?" Emperor Jiaming was very angry.

"This is still to be verified. I think it will be handed over to Ji Fuyao. If he is not only a capable official, but also knows how to advance and retreat in consideration of the overall situation..." Guo Chenghai didn't finish his sentence. Yes, it will definitely not highlight that others are suppressing your limelight. Such a person is useless.

Emperor Jiaming nodded his head and said good-bye: "Well, if she is really a capable official, there are more important things for her to do later."

"The emperor is wise!" Guo Chenghai was very excited. The emperor was determined to promote talents in an eclectic manner, and it would be much easier for him to realize his ideal of eliminating officials.

The monarchs and ministers went on to discuss the next question.

Guo Chenghai is a noble leader, and the system of rewards, punishments, promotions and dismissals proposed by him is naturally easy to pass among his supporters.Among the Xungui people, the voice of opposition is particularly strong.

Song Fangkui and Liao Binfeng were naturally very dissatisfied, but at this moment, they did not dare to come forward and say that the third prince is still gone. If the emperor gets angry and cuts off the prince with one sentence, they will fall from the sky to the ground up.

Fu Wang was also unwilling, but he still knew the current affairs, so he kept his mouth shut rationally.

Mao Guogong jumped out: "What kind of system is this? It may be a good thing for those ordinary people who start from the bottom. We, the children of honorable families, have no promotion channels at all. Is it possible that the royal relatives , and go to the county government to be a small county magistrate with those mud legs, and grind their mouths for the common people all day long?"
