Unparalleled Concubine

   Chapter 264 Prince's whimsy

  After the ceremony to confer the crown prince, His Royal Highness the King of Qin officially entered the East Palace and became the crown prince of the Chengde Dynasty.

   At the same time, the emperor of Chengde stopped interfering in the affairs of the state, and took refuge in the Changle Palace, never seeing anyone again. The government affairs of the imperial court were all sent to the East Palace, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several prime ministers of Shangshutai jointly dealt with them.

   In the first few days, because His Royal Highness the King of Qin had not dealt with government affairs, he behaved relatively modestly, and the affairs of the DPRK and China were basically decided by a few prime ministers.

   If he has always had this attitude, then maybe he really has a chance to sit firmly in the Eastern Palace.

   After all, if he doesn't express his own opinions, these ministers will not be able to guess his mind, and with these Zaifu in charge of political affairs, it won't be too chaotic.

  The ministers all wanted a nodding bug emperor.

   But after the first few days passed, the Crown Prince began to point fingers at the government.

After all, he is not a young prince. As the eldest son of the emperor, he is already in his thirties this year. At this age, it is impossible to obey others in everything, so the prince began to use his "wonderful ideas". .

At this time, if he was just a prince, studying at the Shangshutai, he would have been ignored by the princes, but now the prince of Chengde can't hide, and it was clearly stated that the prince would supervise the country and govern the country, then the prince's highness In fact, he was already the real ruler of Dajin, and what he said was equivalent to what the emperor said.

   Several Saisuke had to listen.

First of all, there are letters from all over the country asking for disaster relief, funding for river embankment repairs, or petitions for exemption from burial due to disasters. Because they are asking for money, these petitions are naturally written quite tragically. With a wave, all of these are accurate.

  Hubu Shangshu's eyelids trembled, he gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

   These are not bad things, and what should be accurate must be accurate, but it is not such a standard law.

Take disaster relief as an example, at least let the people from the Censor Desk send people to inspect the actual situation before making a decision. Even if the disaster is urgent, a part of the money should be given first. After the people from the Censor Desk confirm it, they will be allocated one after another. Money is what.

   As for such a non-urgent matter, it is even more necessary to send the censor to the field to investigate before considering the exemption.

   This is not a question of whether there is goodwill or not. If you don’t have a thorough investigation, you will be exempted from funding. After a long time, local people will find this loophole and want to report false news to ask for money.

   But no matter how you say these things, they are still good things. In addition, under the management of the emperor of Chengde for so many years, the treasury is still full, and the Ministry of Household can afford to pay.

   Moreover, it is understandable that the prince is in charge of the country, and he wants to be kind to the world. These Saisukes didn't say much, but pinched their noses and recognized them.

   However, on the fifth day of the prince's reign, the crown prince, on a whim, began to read the unapproved memorials on the censor's desk, and he just found another person who asked for money in it.

When His Royal Highness looked at it, he found that the soldiers in the army suffered heavy casualties. The memorial letter that he asked for compensation, it was written in the letter that more than 10,000 people in the army had sacrificed, but only more than 1,000 people were given pensions. Weeping up and down, the situation is quite pitiful.

   But this memorial has been suppressed by the Censor for a few months, and there was no approval. His Royal Highness was furious after reading it.

   "The frontier soldiers serve the country, how can they even drag on their pensions?"

   So he immediately waved his pen and approved the memorial.

   Obviously, he wanted to win over the army.

   After watching several Saisukes, their eyelids jumped.

   This memorial was written by Li Shen, the general of the Pingnan Army!

   His Majesty did not reply to this memorial, and threw it back to the Shangshu Desk, which naturally did not dare to mess around, so he could only throw it aside to eat ashes.

   Up to now, even Ping Nanjun has not continued to submit letters to ask for money, so how can he approve this memorial?

   The Crown Prince, could it be that he really doesn’t understand the court situation at all?

  Huan Chu, the servant of the lower province, was also handling political affairs with the prime ministers in Donggonghui. Seeing this, he couldn't bear it any longer. He stood up from his position.

   "His Royal Highness, this memorial was sent by His Majesty back to the Shangshu Desk. Is it right?"

   His Royal Highness the Crown Prince blinked and asked, "Has the royal father made this memorial?"

  Huan Xiang gritted his teeth secretly.

   How could the emperor expressly veto this kind of petition for pensions, and he would have already vetoed it when he returned to the Shangshu Desk!

   He said in a muffled voice, "Never."

   His Royal Highness the Prince smiled.

   "Since the royal father never forbid it, then there is no problem with it?"

Huan Xiang took a deep breath and said: "Your Highness, political affairs are not as simple as you think. It is not easy to do well by nodding and shaking your head. The old minister suggested that His Highness should watch for a few more months and then do monarchy... "

   His Royal Highness the Prince gave Huan Chu a displeased look.

  This old man, in Changle Palace a few days ago, publicly opposed himself to be the crown prince. Now that he is in charge, he sings against himself in the East Palace, which is really annoying.

   "Huan Xiang, Gu is just doing this. If you don't agree, leave the East Palace now and go back to the door to save it!"

The servant under the door is the chief of the province under the door. The department under the door is in charge of paying the emperor's orders, showing etiquette, and in all matters of the country, he is a real prime minister. Even the emperor of Chengde has anything to do with Huan. Chu and the others discussed, at this time, the Crown Prince actually wanted Huan Chu to leave the East Palace!

  Huan Chu's face was embarrassed. He asked His Royal Highness to study for a few more months out of good intentions, but now he is going to be kicked out by the prince?

   He groaned, stood up, and bowed to Zhang Qu, the left servant of Shang Shu: "Zhang Xiang, the lower official is sick, I will take a few days off from you!"

   Zhang Qu was Duke Haoran, and now he was the head of the court civil servants. He shook his head, got up from his chair, and walked out with Huan Chu's sleeve.

   "Brother Huan, why is he so irritable, the crown prince is in charge of state affairs at the beginning, and it is inevitable that he has the taste of a new official. You and I will let him have some, and there is no need to argue about right or wrong..."

Huan Xiang walked side by side with Zhang Qu, shook his head and sighed: "King Haoran, the old man is so old, how can he have any more disputes with young people? What the old man advised just now was purely for the sake of the prince and for the sake of the great Jin Dynasty. Think about it!"

   Zhang Qu said solemnly, "Brother Huan, why did you say this?"

  Huan Chu sneered and said, "In the opinion of Duke Yi Haorang, will this Prince's Royal Highness continue to sit on the throne like this?"

   Zhang Qu frowned: "This is the crown prince proclaimed by His Majesty, how can he sit unsteadily?"

   "He has no foundation, no fame, and now he has no virtue. If he goes on like this, for at most three months, the court will be in chaos!"

"When the old man was in Changle Palace, the reason why he spoke at the risk of offending the prince was because he didn't want to see such a situation happen. Now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is able to humbly manage his affairs and re-cultivate his virtues. With this title of prince, no one can move. He can also succeed to the throne in the future, but the crown prince is so indifferent now, from the old man's point of view, the capital chaos is not far away!"

   Mr. Haoran frowned slightly.

   "Your Majesty should also be able to think of this. Since His Majesty belongs to the Prince, nothing should happen..."

  Huan Chu took a deep breath and looked in the direction of Changle Palace.

   "Haoran Gong, say something disrespectful."

   "The scene at the moment...is probably..."

   "That's it, let's not talk about it, the old man is not feeling well, I'm going to leave!"
