After breaking the leg of a powerful minister, I begged him to be regent

Xie Honggui stepped in and looked at it for a while with his hands behind his back. Before, he sat outside far away and didn't look carefully. Now, when he looked closer, he once again lamented that this world is too unreasonable.Even if the prime minister in the legend is young, he still has a handsome appearance and handsome bones. Whether viewed from the side or the front, the lines of his face are very perfect!I just don't know what the covered eyes look like.

Xie Honggui looked at it for a while, and then ordered: "Get rid of his chains!"

Han An raised his head in panic, and it was fine to open the cell door. If the chains were removed, who knows whether Chu Yanting would suddenly rise up and assassinate His Majesty.

You know, this Chu Yanting is an all-rounder with both civil and military skills!Although he is now crippled, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and with just one hand, he can easily kill His Majesty. What's more, His Majesty doesn't like martial arts, and his body is weak. Can't stand it at all.

Han An was very worried: "Your Majesty... this..."

Xie Honggui knew what he was worried about, but he didn't want to explain to him, he just stared and said, "Go!"

Han An didn't dare to disobey the order, so he had to let go.

Chu Yanting was also puzzled, and said coldly, "What does your majesty mean?"

Xie Honggui said: "Since I want you to do things for me, of course I can't wrong you too much. If something good or bad happens, wouldn't it be worth it?"

Chu Yanting rubbed his wrist, which had been imprisoned for a long time, and said coolly: "What is it that can make Your Majesty come to me? The guilty minister is really curious."

Xie Honggui said: "This matter is actually not a big deal for you. It's just that I've been exhausted recently, so I really don't want to take care of it. But if I don't do it, it's really a big problem."

Chu Yanting: "..." I am afraid that this little trash is the only one who can say the word incompetence so freshly and refinedly.

Xie Honggui tried his best to ignore the look of contempt, and continued: "You must have heard that the Yellow River broke its embankment and hundreds of thousands of refugees fled. Although a relief grain has been allocated, it is far from enough. But now the national treasury is also tight. There is a way to use the extra relief funds. I planned to ask officials from all over the country to donate some, but they all cried to me that they were poor. I really don’t understand. The whole country is poor, so where does the money of this country of Xiao go? gone?"

Of course Chu Yanting knew that although he had been in prison for the past two years, he was not isolated from the world.Since Xie Honggui put him in prison, he has been like a runaway horse. He has become more and more willful in handling political affairs. The court meeting has changed from once every two days at the beginning to once a month later, and the form is perfunctory.Spending most of the time away from the world and having fun.The government is in ruins, and the natural affairs of the country are in decline.

It seems that the money bag is flat and I asked him to fill it.

Sure enough, I just heard Xie Honggui say: "I remember that when you were prime minister, you knew very well about tax collection and Yantian water conservancy, and you were in charge of the treasury's revenue and expenditure. I think you must have a way to raise disaster relief funds for me again. treasury."

This sounds simple, but in fact it is no less than invigorating a country's economy.Xie Honggui opened his mouth loudly, in fact, to make Chu Yanting not suspicious.

But this was just Xie Honggui's conjecture. He was really not sure what Chu Yanting would think.

Xie Honggui retreated to advance, "I know you blame me, if you don't..."

"Since His Majesty has come to see the minister in person, how dare I entrust you with such a thing. As long as His Majesty needs it, I am willing to serve His Majesty."

He actually agreed!Xie Honggui was very excited and was stunned for a while.

"However, I have conditions."

I knew it wouldn't be that simple!

"Say!"

Chu Yanting said: "When I am doing business, I hope that any matter can be decided by the minister himself. Even your Majesty, you should not interfere too much."

Eunuch Han scolded: "Presumptuous! How dare you, a criminal, order Your Majesty?!"

Chu Yanting didn't even pay attention to the emperor, let alone a eunuch, he retorted: "I'm talking to His Majesty, Eunuch Han, why are you in a hurry?"

Xie Honggui motioned for Han An to back down, but Han An's words stuck in his neck, so he had to back down obediently and shut his mouth.

Unexpectedly, even if he became a prisoner, Chu Yanting could still step on his head and do his best.Han An gritted his teeth.

Chu Yanting said: "If Your Majesty is willing to agree, I will do my best to share your Majesty's worries and problems."

Xie Honggui pondered for a while, then flicked his sleeves, "Sure."

3. Chapter 3

After the emperor's driver left, Xue Ming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, dismissed all the guards and went to the cell where Chu Yanting was held alone.

Xue Ming looked at the chains on Chu Yanting's body, and there was a soft chair rewarded by the emperor beside him, and said in shock, "This is it, Your Majesty?"

Chu Yanting patted his dusty prison clothes, and said calmly: "This little trash wants me to help him raise funds for the disaster, and pay off the merits."

Xue Ming said strangely: "Raising funds for disasters? Taking credit for crimes? This is really a strange thing."

Putting his hands on his unconscious knees, Chu Yanting said, "If something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Help me keep an eye on that little trash to see what he wants to do?"

Xue Ming said: "Okay. But... How are you going to raise this disaster fund?"

Chu Yanting's eyes became sharper, piercing Xue Ming like a sword, "Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask, you just need to call someone over for me."

Xue Ming panicked, "No... I don't know who it is?"

Chu Yanting said: "Anyone, as long as they can read and write."

……

The emperor issued an imperial decree to temporarily release Chu Yanting who was imprisoned, and let him take charge of raising food for the disaster.

This matter soon spread throughout the court.

"What does the emperor want to do? Doesn't this make you, the current prime minister, empty?"

"What nonsense! How can a criminal take on such a big responsibility, isn't this messing up the court?"

"Master Shangshu, do you have anything to say? Although the emperor didn't say it clearly, this is cutting your power!"

"The emperor's actions are always unpredictable, so how can we talk about it in private. Let's talk about it when the emperor comes."

In the court hall, a group of ministers were waiting for the emperor to discuss matters.

Going to court today is the first big scene that Xie Honggui has faced since he came here through the book.The court clothes had been put on a long time ago, but Xie Honggui's weakened legs still couldn't move.

"Han An, is today the day of the morning court?"

Your Majesty, you have asked this question three times!Han An bowed his head, "Yes, Your Majesty."

It took a long time to build up his mind, and when Xie Honggui walked into the court hall, someone was already yawning.

Although he knew that the emperor was always tired and lazy when he was in court, it was rare for him to be late for such a long time and not come out.

Xie Honggui accepted the worship of all the officials with shaking legs, and then pretended to be lazy, and read the lines of the novel: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to leave the court."

That’s what I said, but in fact, Xie Honggui is begging his grandpa to tell his grandma not to worry about it. The knowledge capacity of me, a modern ordinary person, is not much more than that of the waste emperor in my original body. Don’t say anything about what you want to say I don't understand, even if I understand, I don't know how to do it.If you must give it to me, then I have no choice but to turn around and give it to Chu Yanting.

At this time, the right minister Su Tong stood up, "Your Majesty, I have something to say. I heard that your Majesty has entrusted the matter of raising funds for the disaster to the prisoner Chu Yanting. Dare I ask your Majesty, why?"

Xie Honggui calmly said: "The food disaster is in a difficult situation. Since Prime Minister Liang, Jin Shangshu, and Su Youxiang can't do anything, then I have no choice but to invite the former prime minister who knows people well. If he really has a way to solve the disaster Even if he is a prisoner, what does it matter?"

Su Tongdao: "But Chu Yanting has a history of corruption after all, I really can't believe it."

You can rest assured that he was truly wronged.Xie Honggui propped up his temple with one hand, and replied: "I don't doubt the employing person, and don't use the suspicious one. I can trust him."

Su Tong looked troubled, as if he wanted to say something more.At this moment, Prime Minister Liang Cihai stepped forward.

This prime minister was directly appointed by "Xie Honggui" after Chu Yanting was dismissed. He used to be the right minister and the right-hand man of the former prime minister Chu Yanting. The boss, not him, is the proud son of heaven.

With Liang Cihai's eyes, Chu Yanting, who was in prison, could see every move of "Xie Honggui", big or small, in the court.

Except for Liang Cihai, the ministers of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of War... all work in the same nest as Chu Yanting, even though these people were newly appointed after the original "Xie Honggui" overthrew Chu Yanting.Xie Honggui sighed, "Xie Honggui" spent a lot of effort to update the personnel system, but in the end, it was all about making wedding dresses for his enemies.

Liang Cihai knelt on the ground holding the wat board, and said: "Your Majesty, I think there is nothing wrong with appointing Chu Yanting. Although Chu Yanting is guilty, but this moment, that moment. The current disaster relief is the top priority. As the Prime Minister of a country, I am guilty of failing to handle this matter well. If Chu Yanting has a countermeasure, I am willing to help. I only hope that the victims of the disaster can settle down as soon as possible and no longer go into exile."

Xie Honggui flicked his sleeves, and said in a deep voice: "Since Prime Minister Liang has no objection, there is no need to discuss this matter again. Although Chu Yanting has jurisdiction over disaster funds, he is still working in prison. Without my permission, he will not was let out."

Prime Minister Right shook his head slightly, sighed, and stepped back.

After dealing with the court affairs, Xie Honggui was about to go back to the bedroom and take a good night's sleep.Holding a pile of memorials, Han An reminded: "Your Majesty, these memorials..."

As an emperor, reviewing memorials is a daily routine.Xie Hong said in his heart: Although I am still a novice as the emperor, I can't just be a useless person who doesn't do anything. Besides, isn't it just a memorial, just read the article and write a comment.

Xie Honggui pretended to be old-fashioned and said "hmm".
