Chapter 44: Royal Front Meeting

On this day, Wei Yunyi got up early.

After using up breakfast.

I first went to the alchemy room and the layout was very good.

All kinds of things have been prepared, and there is also a elixir furnace inside, which was left by Emperor Gaozong.

Then, he ordered people to prepare to refine Xiaohuandan medicinal materials. Because Wang Jin went to Longyang Mansion to deal with Li Fang's affairs, Wei Yunyi was still a little uncomfortable for a moment.

After all, this person is smart, smart, and can do things. He is much more comfortable than other young eunuchs.

But everyone has left, it is impossible to recall the other party again, right?

Moreover, Wei Yunyi is still looking forward to Wang Jin making a big deal about Li Fang.

This can cause turmoil among the court.

Use this to ruin your luck.

That's the most important thing now.

After checking the Danfang, Wei Yunyi went directly to the Imperial Study Room.

As early as yesterday, he had already told Zhao Lingying that he could take a day off.

Of course, this is not what I want to see, but today is the time to hold the imperial meeting.

As the name suggests, the imperial meeting is a meeting held in front of the emperor. In the absence of special circumstances, only the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet can participate, and the location is in the Imperial Study Room.

The Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, almost all hold huge powers and belongs to the leading figures in each department.

The imperial meeting of the Great Wei Dynasty was decided as early as the Taizu period.

It must be held once a month.

The purpose is to let the cabinet members summarize the major events that happened last month.

At the same time, it is formulated for the next month, which is simply equivalent to a summary at the end of the month.

In fact, Wei Yunyi had no interest in these things, and even thought about abolishing them directly.

After all, if this is the case, you might even get a wave of foolish lords.

But he has better plans.

Hasn’t the father-in-law been promoted to the position of secondary assistant in the cabinet?

The other party has been reported all the time, so he must have complaints in his heart. He has to support himself and let the other party play his role.

Soon, Wei Yunyi came to the imperial study room.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw five cabinet ministers standing neatly beside me. The one in the center was the current Taifu, the cabinet chief minister, and Zhang Zhengming.

There are three other cabinet members around him, and Song Gongwen stands at the very side, as if he is out of place with other people.

Obviously, even though he had been in the cabinet for a while, he still hadn't integrated.

Just like in Dali Temple, he was ignored and excluded by his colleagues.

"See Your Majesty!"

When the five cabinet ministers saw His Majesty the Emperor arrive, they bowed their hands.

In the Great Wei Dynasty, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a military general, as long as it is not an important occasion, there is no need to kneel down and worship the great ceremony.

Seeing this, Wei Yunyi nodded, walked to the top of the dragon throne, and said, "You are so kind, don't be polite, please sit down."

The Grand Secretary bowed and said yes, and then did it in sequence according to the ranking. But strangely, Song Gongwen replaced Li Fang's position, belonging to the second-ranked person in the cabinet, but he sat at the end.

This is also normal. Ranking is ranking and does not represent prestige. Others have served as Grand Secretary for many years.

Even though they are not as good as Song Gongwen on the surface, they are old enough to sit in the seat.

Unless he can make any major achievements, he can only lean back.

At this time, Wei Yunyi was also observing his father-in-law.

I have also seen it several times during the court meeting.

But because I am far away, I can't see clearly.

How to say it, he really looks like a serious scholar.

The eyebrows and eyes were also slightly similar to the queen, but it was just that temperament, something was wrong.

It's completely different from Zhang Zhengming. It looks like a famous minister and a good minister. To put it simply, it looks very smooth at first glance.

Even the other three cabinet ministers were not as good as those of them, and they were even less powerful.

Wei Yunyi was relieved, not afraid that his father-in-law would be capable.

I'm afraid he's not mediocre enough.

very good.

I can hand over the burden of ruining luck to you with confidence!

Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi glanced around and then said softly: "Okay, since everyone is here, let's start."

Everyone nodded and said yes, and then there was a normal process. For example, a Grand Secretary said that somewhere in the south suffered some flood and needed money to provide relief, and there was also a drought in the northwest region, which also needed money.

Overall, almost everything is inseparable from money, which is normal. Money is a good thing and has many uses.

Especially for governing a huge country, it is absolutely impossible to have no money.

Fortunately, there were four powerful rulers in front of the Great Wei Dynasty, who used various means to work hard to govern.

So now the money in the treasury can still be considered full.

To deal with some minor disasters in the local area.

Not a problem at all.

Of course, that's all.

Because during the reign of the late emperor, several major wars were experienced and a lot of money was consumed.

Now the money in the treasury cannot be used for too long, and perhaps a major disaster will be gone.

At this time, several cabinet ministers also used this excuse to argue.

But as before, there is no conclusion.

In the end, I can only say.

Can you save some money in some areas?

After all, compared to increasing revenue, reducing expenditure is relatively simple.

When Wei Yunyi faced these words, he just nodded silently from time to time.

Just kidding, even if he knows that there is a way to increase finances, he will never say it out.

Because once the economy is improved, will the luck rise slowly? This is not what he hopes.

In this way, half an hour passed and everyone gave up on this topic.

But the imperial meeting was not over.

Because at this time, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Minister of War came out and said something.

That is, in recent times, the number of trips to the north of the grassland tribes has gone south more frequently than before, and several teams have almost crossed the border. Although they have not caused much damage, they have damaged a large number of soldiers.

Because of this, the General of Zhenbei also asked the Ministry of War to find a way to issue some silver as a way to provide pensions.

Upon hearing this, Wei Yunyi's heart moved.

General Zhenbei, isn’t that the eldest brother of the imperial concubine and his brother-in-law?

You know, the other party is the son of Shenwu Hou, and is called the last person who may succeed Shenwu Hou in the famous family.

The succession here is not a title, because Emperor Taizu Gao had long given the honor of hereditary succession to the Marquis of Shenwu.

Therefore, what we call succession is influence, the future number one general of the Wei Dynasty.

However, Wei Yunyi didn't care about this.

But he heard the other party's implicit sound.

have to!

After going around, we came to the money again.

So the plot just now was staged again.

Several cabinet ministers began a new round of debate, but still had no new ideas.

However, during this period, neither Zhang Zhengming nor Song Gongwen spoke from beginning to end.

Zhang Zhengming and Wei Yunyi could understand that the other party was the chief minister of the cabinet and would not have such a debate at all. He would only say a few words at the end.

But why did my father-in-law do so silently?

Immediately, he was about to ask.

But at this moment, Song Gongwen stood up first and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way to increase fiscal revenue, so my colleagues can also listen."
