Liu Rushi didn't know that Rong Di was now in the hands of Bai Qingyu, and he was already in the pocket of Da Zhou. As a minister of Da Zhou, Liu Rushi had such thoughts.
However, Bai Qingyan could not disclose Ayu's identity to Liu Rushi for the time being, Bai Qingyan only said: "The reason why Master Liu was asked to hold back Yan Wang Li Zhijie of Xiliang is because we are people who are inquiring about news in Xiliang. Was arrested, but now it is not clear whether she was arrested because her identity was exposed, or because of other reasons! Bai Qingqi has already set off for Xiliang, whether to sign the covenant...is up to Bai Qingqi to decide, but...in all the dust Before it's settled, Li Zhijie has to stay in the capital."
Liu Rushi was stunned, and then nodded: "Your Majesty said so, I understand, but... Xiliang Yan Wang Li Zhijie entered the capital city to congratulate His Majesty on his enthronement, so he imperiously detained Li Zhijie. Daducheng, I'm afraid it will be criticized by others."
"Li Zhijie will never leave the capital city until the covenant is finalized. He has only three options. Either make an alliance with Dazhou, or he will choose to join hands with the ghost-faced prince of Rongdi to fight against the powerful country, or... is to fight against the powerful country. The Nine Princes of Dayan made an alliance, once Rongdi and Xiliang go to war, they will let the Kingdom of Yan hold back our Great Zhou!"
Liu Rushi was about to speak, when Bai Qingyan waved his hand to signal him to finish listening: "The purpose of our Great Zhou is to unify the world, so we must not let any country of Xiliang or Rongdi destroy one of them and form a state with us. The situation of the three kingdoms, otherwise it would be more difficult to unify the world then than it is today!"
Liu Rushi is upright, he knows that what Bai Qing said is based on the overall situation, but... Liu Rushi thinks that even if it is for the overall situation, the word morality cannot be abandoned.
"This official does not stand at His Majesty's height, so I don't understand His Majesty's control over the overall arrangement, but I can still understand what His Majesty says." Liu Rushi's attitude is very strict, "Even so, I still have to ask Your Majesty In other words, if someone else prevents King Yan of Xiliang from leaving the capital... that's fine! But if we hold hostages to congratulate the envoys from the great country of Great Zhou and not allow him to leave the capital of Great Zhou, people will definitely criticize it if it spreads! Liang, how can we get Xiliang? Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Liu Rushi finished speaking, he heard a report from outside, saying that Wei, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, was not respectful and asked to see him.
Liu Rushi got up, walked to the center of the hall and bowed to Bai Qingyan: "I will take my leave first."
"Lord Liu, there is one more thing I want to entrust to you." Bai Qingyan smiled slightly, and looked at Liu Rushi, "From next month onwards, every three days in the court, an important person will be sent to communicate with the students of the Imperial College. The members discuss state affairs, Master Liu goes first...to discuss with the students whether we should form an alliance with Xiliang and Rongdi."
Liu Rushi didn't expect Bai Qingyan to ask him to discuss important state affairs with the students, but he still complied and bowed to leave.
Liu Rushi and Wei Bugong met outside the main hall, and they saluted each other. After a few pleasantries, they saw Bai Jinse bring soup and snacks to see Bai Qingyan, and hurriedly moved aside to let Bai Jinse go in.
After returning from the disaster relief, Wei Bugong lost a lot of weight. As soon as he returned to the capital, he knew that Bai Qingyan was going to build schools in various places, and Bai Qingyan told him to start doing it as soon as possible.
When it comes to paying out money, the first thing to do is the account department that takes the money. Wei Bugong has been working tirelessly these days to calculate all the money that needs to be spent, so he came here to ask Bai Qingyan.
What Bai Qingyan meant was that boys' and girls' schools should be set up in every county. However, it is still difficult for the state treasury to provide so much money at the moment. cut in half.
After hearing Wei Feigong's meaning, Bai Qingyan suddenly remembered that when his grandfather was still alive, he came back from asking for pensions for the casualties of the Bai family army, and angrily threw his horsewhip, saying such a sentence...
Grandpa said that the household ministers of various countries are in charge of a country's money bag, but if you want to say who is the most crying poor, then the household ministers of various countries say that they are second, and no one dares to be the first.
Dad served tea to appease grandfather, saying that the Minister of the Household Department also has the difficulties of the Minister of the Household Department. It is not so easy to manage the money bag of a country. This is what my grandfather taught them. Why do they go back as they get older? It looks even more childish than Abao.
The grandfather was speechless, and pointed at his father angrily... saying that his elbow was turned outward.
Recalling the old events, she couldn't hold back a low laugh.
Kneeling on the soft couch and looking down at Bai Qingyan, Wei Bugong was at a loss, and looked up at Bai Qingyan.
Bai Jinse saw it, put the soup in Bai Qingyan's hand, and said disrespectfully to Wei: "Eldest sister wants to come, she should be thinking of what my grandfather once said... the Minister of the Household Department will cry the poorest words."
Seeing Bai Qingyan nodded, Wei Bugong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had to say to Bai Qingyan: "Your Majesty, the establishment of a school is not a very important matter after all, you can let it go for a while, and then I have the courage to speak to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, please think twice."
"Divide half of this snack to Mr. Wei, and bring the soup to Mr. Wei." Bai Qing said with a smile on his face, "Mr. Wei thinks that he hasn't eaten yet, so he will use the dim sum as a cushion. Let's talk while we eat. .”
When had Wei Bugong ever seen such an easy-going emperor, he quickly kowtowed and said he didn't dare.
"Your Majesty Wei, you don't have to be so cautious. Even though it's for official business, you can't forget to eat and sleep... If you are really exhausted, where can I find another Minister of the Household Department! Let's use it together. Even though the monarch and his ministers must be polite Don't be too harsh!"
Bai Qingyan has not rested since she came back from the Imperial College, nor has she had a meal, so Bai Jinse came over to deliver food to her elder sister.
Wei Zhong brought the dim sum and soup to the table in front of Wei Bugong, Wei Bugong hurriedly thanked him, and saw Bai Qingyan holding a piece of dim sum with silver chopsticks, and while eating, looked through the detailed account he sent, and then used it Pick up the snacks with chopsticks and eat in small bites.
Not long after, Bai Qingyan finished reading the detailed accounts that Wei Bugong sent up for estimation, and she put down the teacup in her hand: "Well, I finished reading..."
Wei Bugong, who was eating snacks, heard Bai Qingyan's words, quickly put down his chopsticks, and saluted Bai Qing. Before he could say anything, he was choked by the snacks, swallowed hard, and said: "Your Majesty, this is still Weichen borrowed someone from the Minister of Industry and estimated the money needed in the most frugal way. At the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there is a lot of waste waiting to be done, so we should come as soon as possible."
Bai Qingyan nodded, then unfolded the bamboo slips beside him, and said, "Master Wei thinks that building a school is compared to building an imperial mausoleum... the imperial mausoleum is the top priority?"
Wei Bugong looked up at Bai Qingyan with a puzzled face, this is naturally the top priority...
