Chapter 889
Just in time to take a nap, today's morning court session was treated as a night's sleep.
The minister who had something to report heard that Jiang Zhao was really going to adjourn the court, and was a little panicked, and hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"You speak." Jiang Zhao leaned against him in a different position, and he said it. After all, it is a country, how can there be no problems? Besides, given the current situation of the Chu Dynasty, there should be a lot of things. Liu Cheng and Huo Wei have done everything to ruin the reputation of the emperor of the Chu Dynasty. Fortunately, it is just a beginning now, and it has not reached the point of irreversibility, so it is not troublesome to deal with. It is also because the original body is still young and has not been the emperor for many years.
The minister who stood up was the Minister of Revenue, named Li Hongyan.
"Your Majesty, I propose to stop building the temporary palace and the moon-watching platform." When he opened his mouth, Li Hongyan was ready to be dragged out, but he had to stand up. If he insisted on building the temporary palace and the moon-watching platform, it would definitely cost a lot of money and labor. Moreover, the harvest in the past two years was not good, and the people's lives were not easy. In his opinion, the temporary palaces built by successive emperors were enough, and there was no need to build a new one. This was simply extravagant and wasteful. Of course, he didn't dare to say this so directly.
No one stood up to stop him. Li Hongyan continued to express the reason for this proposal, and finally flattered Jiang Zhao: "Your Majesty is wise and brave, kind-hearted, and loves the people like his own children. I believe he doesn't want to see the people suffer because of the construction of the temporary palace and the moon-watching platform."
Knowing that it was of no use, Li Hongyan could only choose to do so. On the surface, the temporary palace and the moon-watching platform were all built by His Majesty. The regent will definitely refute, but he can't not do it.
After the speech, the court was quiet for a while.
According to the expectations of the ministers, the Regent's lackeys would soon jump out to oppose.
They expected it right. A minister stood up immediately. It was the Minister of War Lin Yunkui: "I object."
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven and should enjoy the blessings of the world. You are obstructing the construction of a small palace and a moon-viewing platform. Do you think Your Majesty does not deserve these?"
"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven. You should have whatever you want. I propose not only to build a palace and a moon-viewing platform, but also to expand the scale..." Lin Yunkui smiled and flattered, but his eyes were aggressive, without much respect. Everyone knows that the most important person here is the Regent, but the window paper has not been broken yet.
Does the little emperor dare to make a decision on his own? He dare not.
Lin Yunkui just looked at Jiang Zhao, waiting for the little emperor to look at the Regent with a frustrated and embarrassed look. Every time at this time, he found it very interesting.
The others were also waiting, and even though they knew the result, they were still very nervous at this moment.
The Golden Palace became quiet again, and everyone raised their heads involuntarily. Even the royalists, because the little emperor really had no power, they didn't care about not looking directly at the emperor's face at this moment.
Jiang Zhao held his chin and his eyes fell on Lin Yunkui: "How big do you think it should be?"
"The temporary palace is a place for your majesty to rest, so naturally the bigger the better." Lin Yunkui said with a flattering face, no matter how big it is, the little emperor can't live there. On the surface, it is a practice palace and a moon-viewing platform, but in fact it is just the regent's attempt to make money from the national treasury. The temporary palace and the moon-viewing platform can be fooled casually, anyway, no one lives there. The regent eats meat, and people like them can naturally drink soup with it.
"Sounds good." Jiang Zhao raised his eyebrows, and countless ministers shook their heads and sighed. No wonder the Regent was not in a hurry. His Majesty knew how to speak to satisfy the Regent.
They were very happy about what happened in the palace yesterday. Now it seems that the Regent wanted to do something, so he borrowed His Majesty's hand.
"Your name is Lin Yunkui." Jiang Zhao spoke again, "I also like the big and comfortable palace and the moon viewing platform where I can enjoy the moon, but... I don't want to spend my own money to build it."
At this point, there was no commotion in the Golden Palace. All the ministers couldn't help but look up at the figure above. What does His Majesty mean? Isn't it going to increase taxes?
"I think you are loyal," Jiang Zhao ignored the reactions of the ministers below and laughed, "Why don't you pay for this silver? You are so loyal to me and you also support the construction of the palace and the moon viewing platform. You think I enjoy such a blessing, so you are very happy to pay for it, right?"
Li Hongyan, who thought he would be beaten out, was a little dumbfounded. Is this still the emperor who was suppressed by the regent everywhere? He couldn't help rubbing his face and pinching his thigh. After feeling the pain, he finally believed that this was not a dream.
Speaking of it, your majesty has been resisting the regent, but the result is not very good. Will it be useless this time? Your majesty's idea is very good, but it is very likely that it will not succeed. Li Hongyan sighed secretly. If your majesty is not in such a difficult situation, he may not be a bad emperor.
Lin Yunkui was so angry that he laughed: "Your Majesty, are you joking with me?"
"I am the emperor, my words are my bond, how could I joke with you?" Jiang Zhao patted the armrest and called, "Mo Wu, follow Minister Lin home to get the silver."
After speaking, Mo Wu came out with a group of masked people in black. For the sake of appearance, Xuan Lingwei replaced the mask with a mask.
I thought there wouldn't be too many people, but when the last person came out, the whole court looked like a huge crowd.
Jiang Zhao leaned back in his chair, and was somewhat speechless when he saw these people coming out. The people of Xuanlan Continent have seen the outside world, and they know that there is a chance to come out and play in this world, so they are ready to wait for his call. Yesterday, the men of Xuanlan Continent were envious of those who came out to play as palace maids. Today, they can come out to work, and everyone is very happy.
Jiang Zhao looked at Lin Yunkui with a little pity, and he estimated that the other party's land would be dug three feet.
Lan Siyu was also there, perhaps she was the Lanlan in history, or it might be that her performance yesterday satisfied His Majesty, so she, the tea maid, naturally followed along.
