Chapter 986： First time in court

Chapter 986: Going to court for the first time

Today it is still three days per day.

At the morning court meeting three days later, the ministers were surprised to find that there was another high chair next to the emperor's throne.

Him level with the throne.

The emperor and the queen sat on it neatly.

A woman appeared in the court openly and openly.

All the ministers are not used to it.

However, this woman is very beautiful, so beautiful that they have the urge to worship her.

The ministers were not used to it at first, and then they winked at each other.

This emperor wants to lead the expedition himself, leaving this fairy-like queen to supervise the country. Is this a joke?

Chaotang is not a place where you can dominate by relying on your beauty!

Besides, I heard that the queen was born as a peasant girl. Is she literate? Can you understand the memorial? Do you know how to handle state affairs?

Gu Fei could probably guess what the courtiers were thinking.

She said she felt no pressure sitting here.

After all, someone once said that the easiest thing in the world is to be an official.

The bigger the official, the better he can do it. All he needs to do is move his mouth.

There are emperors in history who did not eat minced meat, emperors who insisted on being calligraphers, emperors who devoted themselves to writing lyrics, emperors who liked to be carpenters, and emperors who did not go to court for decades. They can all sit firmly in this position. position, and she is only temporarily supervising the country and handling political affairs. There are so many ministers here, what is she afraid of?

Just let the ministers take care of things.

Gu Fei sat high on it and could clearly see the expressions of the courtiers below.

Her eyes suddenly fell on her eldest brother.

Gu Qing is now a seventh-rank editor of the Hanlin Academy. As a Beijing official, he also has to go to court.

He looked at Gu Fei with tears in his eyes.

Gu Fei nodded slightly to him with a smile in her eyes.

Gu Qing felt a surge of passion in his heart. His sister was his belief, and he would sacrifice everything for her in his life.

Su Chen also looked at the woman sitting on it silently. At this moment, he finally understood that she was right to marry Xiao Yu.

Only she is worthy to sit in that supreme place.

This is his country and her country. They will both give everything for this land and the people on this land.

Xue Chen’s eyes also showed enthusiasm.

He did not follow the wrong person, he regarded her as his master, and he is where he is today just because he followed the right person.

Such a woman is worth everything you pay for her.

After a brief exchange of eyebrows and whispers in the court, the Minister of Household Affairs came out and said: "Your Majesty, the taxes of the northern counties this year are only one-tenth of what they were before the drought. In addition, with the continuous wars in recent years, the population of the north has declined, and it is still There’s a lot of land left vacant.”

“I petitioned the emperor to issue an imperial edict that if a woman is fifteen years old and unmarried, she will be taxed one hundred and twenty dollars a year until the woman gets married.”

Xiao Yu raised his brows slightly and said nothing, but turned to look at Gu Fei.

Gu Fei quickly understood what the Minister of the Ministry of Finance meant. The drought, several years of war, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Daqi now all resulted in a serious shortage of working population.

The purpose of this move is to stimulate fertility.

Gu Fei said slowly: "A woman who marries indiscriminately can easily cause family disharmony. Too much family disharmony can easily cause public resentment."

“I have some suggestions, please see if they are feasible.”

“First, disarmament. Now that Da Qi Dynasty has 800,000 troops, part of the army can be disbanded.”

“Second, reward fertility. In the five northern counties, anyone who gives birth to a child will be rewarded with one tael of silver."

“Third, encourage widows to remarry.”
