Chapter 291 Let my highness go down to celebrate?

The next day, the memorial to the impeachment of Yin Xu still drifted into the palace like snowflakes, and there were a few more ministers who reported sick leave to the court.

Someone jokingly asked: "Did the elders turn upside down last night, and the red candles kept the tent warm, and they were reluctant to get up?"

Of course, some people think that these elders are sick from Yin Xu's anger, and it's no wonder they are not sick to make such jokes at a very old age.

As for the actual situation, the old ministers were neither unable to get up nor ill, but had no face to go out.

"Why is the court so quiet today? There is nothing to play?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sat upright beside the dragon chair in the Chengde Hall. After half a month of repairs, the hall became even more resplendent.

The ministers complained: Your Highness, are you blind? You just pretended not to see so many memorials, what do you want everyone to read?

"Since there is nothing wrong, let's retreat." After finishing speaking, Teng Yu got up and left.

A young official hurriedly stood up, "Your Highness, I have a book to play."

"Oh? This palace remembers you. You are Prime Minister Zuo's favorite student." Teng Yu said flatly.

All the ministers present bowed their heads, some couldn't help but a gloating smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and some mourned the young man in silence.

"Yes." The young official froze for a moment, and his expression became uneasy.

"What do you want to play?" Teng Yu assumed a listening posture, with a very good attitude, as if the sentence just now was just a casual question.

The young man was a little hesitant, but remembering the teacher's explanation last night, he still bite the bullet and said: "The emperor gave His Highness a marriage before. Although the wedding date was not specified, His Highness is old enough to be crowned, and should get married as soon as possible."

"Oh? Get married..." Of course Teng Yu also thought about it, but at this time the government is not stable, the emperor is still "seriously ill", Huo Zhengquan and his son are still in the south to suppress bandits and can't come back, there are too many variables, he doesn't want their wedding Something happened in the middle.

"Yes, the emperor is seriously ill, and His Highness should get married as soon as possible. Since ancient times, there has been a saying that the emperor will recover after hearing the happy event."

"You said let my highness go down to celebrate?" Teng Yu's mouth twitched, feeling that this young man was quite courageous.

Not only did he think so, but the ministers present also took a second look at him, secretly praising him: How courageous!

"That's not what Weichen means, but as a child, it is also necessary to congratulate your parents."

"What else?" Teng Yu didn't believe that they would care so much about his marriage with Yin Xu.

Sure enough, the young man said in the next sentence: "Since Commander Huo is going to marry the royal family, his official position can't be retained. Not only that, he should also concentrate on the backyard from now on, and he should not go out to show his face again."

Someone who was sleeping late in the palace sneezed, turned over and continued to sleep with his arms around the quilt.

"..." The expressions of the ministers were different, but most of the civil servants supported it. Since ancient times, I have never heard of any family's crown princess who still holds an important position and shows her face outside.

Of course, since ancient times, I have never heard of a princess who is a man.

Teng Yu's expression became very strange, and he asked in disbelief: "You mean...you want Huo Tian to be locked in the backyard all day long to grow flowers?"

There will only be Yin Xu in his backyard, what else can he do without growing flowers?

"I have something to mention..." The young man shrank his neck, feeling that he would not be able to get out of Chengde Hall today, "According to the etiquette system, His Royal Highness should have one main concubine, four side concubines, and how many Liang concubines?" , Now that the position of Concubine has been determined, the Ministry of Rituals should quickly select suitable beautiful women for His Highness to enrich the backyard of the Prince's Mansion."

Teng Yu suddenly laughed, the laughter was thick and carried a different meaning, "I see, there is some truth to what I said."

The young civil servant heaved a sigh of relief. He felt that His Highness didn't need to refute him at all. The etiquette is there. If he doesn't mention it today, others will mention it in the future. What's more, His Highness doesn't like to ignore them. That's it.

Of course, in the eyes of the ministers, as long as His Highness can take this first step, the second step of having a child will come naturally. After all, there are a few men who will marry someone back without even touching them.

"Your Highness is wise, the old minister thinks the words of the doctor of the Ministry of Rites are very reasonable. The emperor's dragon body is in trouble, and the palace needs such a happy event."

"Yes, if His Highness doesn't like the beautiful girls selected by the Ministry of Rites, the ministers will try their best to find girls of the right age from the people so that His Highness can select them."

The civil servants were the best at watching their faces. Seeing that Teng Yu was not angry, but showed signs of being persuaded, they jumped out one by one to add fuel to the flames. In the end, they almost dug out all the daughters of the right age from the families of all the officials present.

"It seems that you ladies are so busy, you even know how many daughters there are." Teng Yu's mouth was slightly raised, but there was a cold look in his eyes, which unfortunately couldn't be seen by the lower officials.

"Since everyone agrees, the hall will call the names directly... I heard that Prime Minister Zuo's family has a granddaughter who looks like a fish and a wild goose. She is knowledgeable, virtuous and gentle. Send the daughter of the prime minister's family to the prince's mansion in a few days, so let's seal it as Di Liang."

"..." Everyone was dumbfounded. They didn't expect that His Royal Highness would play cards so unreasonably, and let the granddaughter of a first-rank official enter the mansion to become Liangdi. enough.

And listen to what he said, let the Ministry of Rites pick a day to send people into the mansion without even a ceremony, if this word reaches Prime Minister Zuo's ears, I'm afraid the old man will die again.

Now everyone can see that Prime Minister Zuo and His Highness the Crown Prince are not only at odds with one another politically, but also have a very tense relationship in private.

Everyone began to sympathize with Prime Minister Zuo, and when His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, he was bound to sit on the bench.

This old man is really getting more and more confused as he gets older. If you fight against anyone, you can't fight against the future emperor.

However, those who are interested also speculated that the reason why His Highness made it difficult for Prime Minister Zuo was because the emperor had given the prime minister's granddaughter to Huo Qi.

Ouch, this messy relationship is really a headache!

Of course, there are also many people who are eager to make a move. If the position of Prime Minister Zuo is vacant, can he compete for it?

This generation of monarchs and courtiers, the officials who can still stand firmly on this temple will be the final winners.

And if you want to gain the favor of His Highness the Crown Prince, you must first not make His Highness unhappy about the matter of the Crown Princess. Many ministers who wanted to speak shut up.

When everyone was silently mourning for Prime Minister Zuo, Teng Yu suddenly added: "However, the affairs of the backyard of this mansion should be handed over to the future Crown Princess, and the granddaughter of Prime Minister Zuo must obtain the consent of the Crown Princess if she wants to enter the house. This hall will discuss it after asking the Crown Princess-to-be."

Everyone's face turned white and blue, and their moods also went up and down. After talking for a long time, they still came back to the original point. They had to agree with the Crown Princess before they could be carried into the mansion. Wouldn't that mean that they indirectly rejected the concubine?

Women in the world are required to be generous and decent, and there are many concubines for their husbands, otherwise they will be labeled as "jealous", but Huo Qishao is not these women, let him agree to take concubines for His Royal Highness, Unless the sun comes out in the west.

Yin Xu didn't know at this time that he had become the subject of the morning court today. When he woke up, Teng Yu had already changed into court clothes and was sitting in the room watching the memorial.

He got up with his sore waist, wrapped himself in a thin gauze and got out of bed, lying on Teng Yu's lap and looking at him.

"What's the matter? Hurry up and wash up, I have someone bring breakfast."

Yin Xu simply sat on his lap and leaned against his chest to read the memorial together, "Why do you have to make decisions on everything? Can you finish reading?"

Teng Yu rubbed his lower back with one hand, "Most of the cabinets will approve these first, and the hall only needs to take a look at them, and correct them if there are unreasonable things."

If the emperor is stupid, these memorials can be completely ignored. As long as the cabinet and the six ministries are still functioning healthily, the world will not be in chaos for a while.

But Teng Yu didn't intend to be a foolish ruler, and he had just started supervising the country, so naturally he watched as much as he could, and worked as much as he could.

He put the memorial in front of Yin Xu and explained in detail: "Look, there was a flood in Changshun County in the south. I asked the imperial court to order relief for the disaster. The countermeasures approved by the Neiguan were nothing more than how much food and money to send. You can find these in the old calendar. It's just simple addition and subtraction."

"Well, then what?"

"Do you know how much silver is a stone meter?"

Yin Xu shook his head, of course he didn't know, he didn't even know how the rice was made.

"When we went to Huizhou for disaster relief, I paid attention to this. The south is a land of fish and rice. The price of food is lower than that in the north. There is also a lot of adjustable food nearby. There is no need to pay money from the treasury, but those officials don't care about it. How much is the price of rice? It will remain the same for ten years, and the money will be paid at the highest level, so I don’t know how many of them fell into the hands of corrupt officials.”

Yin Xu thought, this is normal, he has studied hard for so many years before finally getting ahead, you can't let him live a hard life anymore, the salaries of officials are not high, it is not enough to support a large family, so they just Can get money from other places.

Teng Yu knew what he was thinking just by looking at his expression, and pressed hard on his lower back, "It is very difficult to clear up the government and the opposition, and it is impossible to do without a single corrupt official. I don't care about the business, accepting bribes to a certain extent is also acceptable, but anyone who dares to use disaster relief money will not be let go!"
