I am also waiting for the hero to usurp the throne today [Transmigration Book]

Prime Minister Ye was very efficient in handling affairs, and soon presented part of the memorial.

Li Jinyu excitedly took them to Jiaolan Palace, and patted them in front of Huo Caiyu: "These are for you."

Huo Caiyu looked at the memorials with black and gold seals in surprise, but didn't reach out: "What's the meaning of this, Your Majesty?"

"Didn't you teach me how to read?" Li Jinyu coughed, and sat down on the pear blossom wooden chair a little far away from Huo Caiyu, "Just use these few books."

Huo Caiyu frowned, feeling a little weird.

How can there be a memorial for literacy as a model?

He still had doubts about whether Li Jinyu was really illiterate.

Opening a booklet, Huo Caiyu's expression became even weirder when he saw the contents inside.

After a long time, Huo Caiyu frowned and closed, pushed the memorial aside, and couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty dealt with these before?"

Li Jinyu was a little confused, so in order to maintain his incompetent image, he shook his head: "I never cared about government affairs before, this was handed over by the prime minister."

Huo Caiyu lowered his eyes, pursed his lips and said, "It may not be appropriate to use these as literacy textbooks. Please use "Sheng Lun", "National Policies" and other sage documents as models."

Li Jinyu originally used the excuse of literacy to let Huo Caiyu get in touch with the government, so he would not choose other documents, and immediately refused: "I haven't approved the memorial yet! I just want to use these."

Huo Caiyu was silent for a while, and then picked up a memorial again: "Cao Min obeys the order."

……

Most of the memorials submitted by Prime Minister Ye were the death penalty.

According to the laws of the Di Dynasty, the death penalty needs to be reported at all levels, and can only be executed with the emperor's personal approval, so as not to kill innocent people unjustly.

Of course, the actual implementation is another matter.

The case they are reading now is a murder case in a village on the outskirts of Beijing.

In a family surnamed Ge, the eldest son died of a sudden illness after a few years of marriage, leaving behind a widow, mother and younger brother.Years ago, Mother Ge couldn't sleep well in the middle of the night. When she heard the noise, she got up and found that the widow's daughter-in-law had stabbed her uncle's throat with scissors, so she hurriedly reported it to the police.

During the interrogation by the county government, the little widow confessed that she couldn't bear the poverty and wanted to steal the family's money and escape. She didn't want to be discovered by her uncle, so she punctured his throat with scissors in desperation.

The case was simple, and no one rejected it all the way, so it was delivered directly to the Holy Master.

Huo Caiyu taught Li Jinyu how to distinguish characters, while pursing his lips and waiting for Li Jinyu's reaction.

Li Jinyu was still learning how to hold a pen, and the handwriting on the rice paper was distorted and distorted, and his ears could not understand: "The widow killed my brother-in-law for money. I need to decide whether to execute him or not?"

"Yes."

Li Jinyu had no idea about these, so he took the opportunity to ask Huo Caiyu, "How do you think the sentence should be judged?"

Huo Caiyu didn't expect Li Jinyu to ask his opinion, his eyes glanced at the expression on Li Jinyu's face, he gritted his teeth slightly, and replied seriously: "There is something wrong with this case."

Li Jinyu's eyes brightened: "What's wrong?"

Huo Caiyu was not sure whether Li Jinyu used these memorials to test him or if he was really illiterate and asked him for advice, but he couldn't tolerate unjust, false and wrong cases happening in front of his eyes.

He clicked on the memorial and said: "First, from the facts of these cases, the Ge family's money is kept in Ge's mother's room, but the murder took place in Ge'an's room; As an adult and working hard at home, how could Ge An, a weak woman, stab Ge Shi to death with scissors on the premise that Ge Shi found out that she was stealing? The third..."

Huo Caiyu clicked on a part of the case report on the memorial, "When Ge Shi was discovered, his lower body was naked..."

Li Jinyu didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Huo Caiyu glanced at him, a flash of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and then he became a little vigilant, pursed his lips and said: "The grass people speculated that perhaps Ge Shi had something wrong with his widowed sister-in-law, and Ge An used scissors to pierce his wife while struggling Ge Shi's throat... for the details, His Majesty needs to call it back for retrial."

What the future emperor said was naturally correct, Li Jinyu nodded happily: "I'll call back now."

Huo Caiyu was taken aback by such a happy promise.He met Li Jinyu's unconscious "seeking praise" eyes when he turned around, rubbed his fingertips lightly on the memorial, and held back what he wanted to say.

Huo Caiyu opened a few more memorials, all of which were murder cases of this type without exception, and almost all of them had obvious doubts.

Huo Caiyu dismantled and analyzed them one by one for Li Jinyu.

Li Jinyu was dizzy and couldn't understand the inexplicable mutual harm between human beings, let alone why those suspects all pleaded guilty.

There was a trace of mockery in Huo Caiyu's eyes: "It's just a trick of torture."

Today's Dadi Dynasty is full of sewage in the officialdom, and even the important border military salaries can be deducted shortfalls, so what are the few murder cases of Ququ?

Li Jinyu took the opportunity to say: "Now we need a wise person to rectify it."

That's right it's you!Hurry up and rise up in anger!I will immediately kneel down and surrender the throne to you!

Huo Caiyu's eyes flickered slightly, but in the end he couldn't hold back, showing a strange expression.

Li Jinyu stared at him blankly.

If he read it right, that look seemed to be... mocking?

……

After going back, Li Jinyu kept thinking about the meaning of Huo Caiyu's mocking eyes.

——Could it be that he is laughing at himself that he has the delusion of stretching out his hand to be a dragon despite his white body?

You can't think like that!You are the future emperor!The whole world is yours!

Li Jinyu sent all the approved memorials to the prime minister, and told the eunuch who passed the decree: "Ask for more memorials for me!"

I want to build Huo Caiyu's self-confidence with state affairs!

Even though the eunuch who passed the decree was exquisite, he had never seen their majesty be so diligent for a day. His throat moved and he swallowed the words abruptly.

——That Mr. Huo is really so charming that His Majesty is not thinking about food and drink now, and even started to work hard and love the people?

The eunuch who passed the decree left with a memorial and confusion, and came back with another memorial.

Li Jinyu went to look for Huo Caiyu excitedly with the new memorial.

Huo Caiyu opened one, looked at it, frowned, and closed the memorial again: "Your Majesty, these memorials are not suitable."

"Why is it inappropriate?"

Huo Caiyu said bluntly: "These memorials should have been handled by the Minister of Dali Temple, but now they are handed over to His Majesty intact. Either the Minister of Dali Temple has neglected his duties, or..."

Or, the prime minister's faction is fooling the present majesty.

Most of these murders were caused by a short story told by a parent, and they should have been dealt with in the county government, and only had to wait for the trial at the top.

As a result, these cases have been judged hastily. From Huo Caiyu's point of view, there are doubts about the demand. Obviously, no official from top to bottom is really performing their duties!

Huo Caiyu's eyes sank, and he glanced slightly at Li Jinyu who was still a little confused.

He thought that His Majesty the Emperor was the root cause of the rotten imperial court, but now it seems...

It took Li Jinyu a long time to understand, and he opened his mouth in surprise, "Is the prime minister fooling me?"

He wants government affairs because he wants Huo Caiyu to be familiar with government affairs and cultivate the basic abilities of a future wise king, not just to be a judge!

Huo Caiyu was silent.

Li Jinyu stood up and walked around: "No, I'm going to talk to the prime minister again."

He was about to go out when he suddenly remembered something, turned his head to look at Huo Caiyu, and said seriously, "You come with me."

……

The emperor summoned Ye Guixiang and came quickly.

After entering the palace gate, Prime Minister Ye saw Huo Caiyu standing beside Li Jinyu at a glance, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he saluted and took his seat.

"Your Majesty's dragon and phoenix posture..."

Li Jinyu couldn't stand Ye Guixiang's long string of flattery last time, so he quickly interrupted him: "I'm looking for the prime minister this time to discuss something."

The one next to him can afford those compliments, how can he deserve it!

Ye Guixiang didn't show any strange expression when he was interrupted: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

"Aren't the memorials you gave me too perfunctory?" Li Jinyu tapped the seal of the memorial on the table, "I want serious state affairs!"

Ye Guixiang coughed slightly, looked at Li Jinyu secretly, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty has not asked about political affairs for a long time, and it may be difficult to deal with the affairs of the court rashly. You might as well start from the subtleties and learn slowly."

If it were Li Jinyu himself, he would not dare to directly take care of major affairs; but beside him is the future emperor with the talent of a wise king.

Li Jinyu insisted: "I am the Son of Heaven, it's no problem to take care of the government, the Prime Minister doesn't have to worry about it."

Prime Minister Ye was silent for a while, and then backed down very eloquently: "What aspect of government affairs does Your Majesty want to deal with?"

Li Jinyu was stunned for a moment, and looked at Huo Caiyu for help.

Four eyes facing each other.

... didn't see anything.

He and Huo Caiyu haven't had such a good understanding.

Prime Minister Ye noticed Li Jinyu's movements, and his eyes sank slightly.

Li Jinyu withdrew his gaze for help, coughed, tried to recall the content of the original work, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "It's about taxes!"

He remembered that in the original book, Huo Caiyu later seized the throne, and the reforms brought about included important content about taxation.

Standing behind Li Jinyu, Huo Caiyu listened to the conversation between Li Jinyu and Prime Minister Ye. He didn't say a word at first, but now he slightly raised his head and looked at Ye Guixiang.

——Taxation is the most important source of income for the national treasury. Even Ye Guixiang himself is from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Will he be willing to let go of this part of the power?

Contrary to Huo Caiyu's expectations, Ye Guixiang readily agreed: "I asked the Ministry of Household Affairs to prepare a copy and present it to His Majesty for review."

Huo Caiyu was a little stunned.

Then he keenly noticed that Prime Minister Ye glanced at him slightly.

There was a slight malice and disgust in that gaze, completely different from the curiosity and purity that His Majesty often looked at.

Huo Caiyu subconsciously looked at Li Jinyu, meeting Li Jinyu's appreciative eyes, with a smug smile on his lips.

I don't know if it's a malicious comparison with the prime minister, but Huo Caiyu somehow feels that such a majesty is kind of cute.
