771. Chapter 771 General Qingqi
Ye Yiqing and Zhaoyang left the capital, Ye Zhen couldn't see them off in person, so she had to say goodbye to Ye Yiqing in the palace.
For Ye Yiqing's departure, many people in Kyoto breathed a sigh of relief, but they soon found out that Ye Yiqing had left and Ye Chunnan stayed. What's going on? Could it be that father and son still have to separate?
Everyone still had doubts in their hearts. Murongzhan had appointed Ye Chunnan as Qingqi General and became a general of the Kingdom of Jin.
Now all the court officials were dumbfounded. They used to think that even if Lu Yaoyao became a queen, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, Ye Yiqing and his son had become the prime ministers and generals of Dongqing Kingdom. What's more, Lu Yaoyao's adoptive father is Lu Shiming, a family that is hated by the emperor, where can its power go? Some people have already planned that when the next draftee sends her daughter to the palace, she will definitely be able to overwhelm the queen, anyway, the queen has no backing at all.
However, if Ye Chunnan stays... everything will be different, the emperor dotes on the empress in the first place, and now there is an uncle who is a Qingqi general, what's the matter?
All the court officials began to object, Ye Chunnan must not become a general of Qingqi, he was already a general of Dongqing, how could he be a general of Jin? What if there is a mutiny in the future?
"My lords, I'm afraid you're thinking too much." Elder Xu squinted his eyes, "Ye Chunnan was originally from the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, and he became the general of the Kingdom of Dongqing out of nowhere. go back."
"According to Mr. Xu, should Ye Yiqing also come back to Jin Country?" Someone asked, "Isn't he from Jin Country? If their father and son intend to betray Jin Country in the future, wouldn't they become internal supporters?" ?”
Elder Xu smiled faintly, "Master Ye and General Ye are not comparable."
"At the same time, father and son, why can't they compare? Your Majesty, please think twice about appointing Ye Chunnan as Qingqi General." Many people in the court knelt down.
Mo Rongzhan nodded lightly, "Since I want to avoid thinking that it is not good for Mr. Ye to be the prime minister of Dongqing, then I will send someone to invite him back and let him become the prime minister of Jin. In this way, you don't have to I'm worried that their father and son will cooperate internally and externally to betray Jin Guo in the future."
"..."
Let Ye Yiqing become the prime minister of Jin Kingdom? !
Didn't that bring the Ye family back to the period when they were in power? That's worth it!
All the disputes and opposition disappeared because of Mo Rongzhan's words. A young general would not make them feel too much pressure, but if Ye Yiqing became the prime minister, they would probably live in fear.
"Is there anything else you want to start?" Mo Rongzhan asked lightly, "If not, then retreat."
...
...
Ye Zhen became busier than before. In the past, the Empress Dowager was in charge of all matters in the palace. Later, Mo Rongzhan knew that Ye Yaoyao was with the Empress Dowager, so he handed over the affairs of the harem to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Today, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs came to report the affairs to Ye Zhen.
The House of Internal Affairs mainly manages royal affairs. The main organization is the Seven Departments and Three Courts. The most important thing is the Guang Chu Department, which stores all kinds of treasures and offerings for the royal family. Ye Zhen does not need to manage the entire Seven Departments and Three Courts. Except for the Guang Chu Department, the House of Internal Affairs There are also more than 30 affiliated organizations such as the Three Weaving Department. In addition, the Respect Room, which is responsible for managing eunuchs, maids and all affairs in the palace, also belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which needs to be managed by Ye Zhen.
It was Ye Zhen's first meeting with the heads of various departments in the palace today. Murong Zhan was worried that she was not familiar with them, so he specially sent two aunts to help her, so that they could explain these matters to Ye Zhen.
She was indeed not familiar with the affairs of the harem, and she was already dizzy from the first day of seeing the heads of various divisions.
"Mother, now it's time to change clothes for the season, but the quota for the empresses in each palace must be the same as in previous years?" the aunt in charge of the Guangchu Division asked in a low voice.
Like Ye Zhen, the chiefs of each department saw the empress for the first time today. They all knew who the master of the harem was, but they didn't know Ye Zhen, so they didn't dare to express their positions so quickly. What should I say? What to say, what to do, what to do, what the boss of Guangchu Division said was a bit tentative.
Ye Zhen said with a smile, "What kind of quota was used in previous years, what kind of quota is still the same this year, there is no need to change it."
"Yes, empress." Chief Gu said with a low eyebrow.
"Your Majesty, the four divisions in the palace need to select another vice-principal this year. This is the newly selected list, please take a look at it." The head of the House of Internal Affairs handed over the brochure to Ye Zhen.
The most important thing in the Fourth Division is the principal, and there are two deputy principals under it. In the past few years, because the Queen Mother has neglected the affairs of the Fourth Division, the interior of the Fourth Division is actually very chaotic. There are many things about it, and Xue Lin found out about this matter, and she wondered why Murongzhan didn't know about it since Xue Lin could find it out.
Mo Rongzhan told her last night that he didn't have much time in the harem before, and everything was handed over to the queen mother. These people flattered the queen mother, and some things were done without anyone noticing, and they were within his tolerance. To a certain extent, he didn't spend extra energy to investigate this matter, anyway, he felt that Ye Zhen would come into the palace soon, and he would clean it up for him.
"Leave the roster, I will review it carefully before making a decision." Ye Zhen said lightly, "Your divisions will send over the account books of the past few years, and I will have a look."
Account books? Chief Gu and the other principals looked at each other in blank dismay. They never thought that the empress would still look at the account books, so there was no need to hand it over to the queen?
"Your Majesty, the servants will hand over the account books to Mr. Wang every quarter." Mr. Gu said in a low voice.
"I know, but I still want to take a look." Ye Zhen glanced at them with a smile, "Is there a rule in the palace that I can't look at the account books of various departments?"
Director Wang lowered his head, "The servant will send the account book to you tomorrow for your review."
Ye Zhen nodded in satisfaction, "I'm clear about all the matters you reported today, you all should step down first."
"Yes, empress." Director Wang saluted politely.
After all the principals had saluted and filed out, Ye Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. It was only the first day, and she already felt that it was not easy. Fortunately, the Seventh Division and the Third Courtyard were not all under her control, otherwise she would have gray hair from exhaustion up.
"Your Majesty, these are all old people in the palace. They have been refined for decades." The woman who had been standing beside Ye Zhen said softly. She looked about thirty years old and was sent to Ye Zhen by Mo Rongzhan. Aunt Pan next to me.
Ye Zhen smiled faintly, "I know, I need Aunt Pan to talk more about the affairs in this palace, otherwise I'm really blind."
