Yin Rou has known Tang Yin for a long time, but she has never seen what Tang Yin looks like when dealing with government affairs. In her mind, he is not such an unreasonable and willful person.
When the ministers in the hall saw Yan Rou, they came forward as if they had seen the Savior and knelt down to salute. Several ministers cried with a trembling voice of snot and tears: "princess, find a way to save the minister..."
Yan Rou was just a princess without real name before. She had never encountered such a scene. Looking at the ministers of the wind Kingdom who knelt down in front of her, she was also a little flustered and didn't know what to do.
"The princess will beg the king for us!"
Listening to the cries of the people, Yan Rou's not hard heart became softer. She turned back and said coldly to the guards, "go and prepare the food immediately. This is the order of the palace. Those who disobey the order will be killed!"
The bodyguards were sweating. The king's order was not to prepare meals, and the princess's order was just the opposite. Who should I listen to?
Just when the guards felt embarrassed, Su Wan and Zeng die, the head and deputy leaders of the guard camp, came. The second daughter first saluted Yan Rou, and then said to the bodyguards, "since it's the princess's order, go and obey it quickly!"
The immediate boss stood up and spoke, so that all the bodyguards on the scene breathed a sigh of relief. People stepped in and saluted one after another, and all agreed.
Su Wan came to Yan Rou and said, "princess, the king is now in the garden of the front palace. Does the princess go to see the king..."
"Of course I want to go." Yan Rou looked back at the ministers and said to Su Wan, "lead the way ahead!"
"Yes, my subordinates!"
Led by Su Wan, Yin Rou came to the garden. When she saw Tang Yin, before she could speak, Tang Yin grabbed a smile, grabbed her little hand first and let her sit on her lap.
"Rou'er just went to the main hall?"
"Yes." Yan Rou pouted and looked at him discontentedly.
"And made people prepare meals for the ministers?" Tang Yin continued with a smile.
"Why?" Yan Rou suddenly asked.
"What? Why?" Tang Yin blinked.
"Why torture the ministers so much?" Yan Rou's big eyes were full of confusion and doubt.
"That's their punishment." Tang Yin raised his mouth and said, "they should be punished for their selfish interests. They are hungry for only one day. The punishment is light enough."
"For personal gain?" Yin Rou didn't understand.
Tang Yin explained: "Why are ministers unwilling to give up the recommendation system? That's because many of them take bribes privately by recommending officials. To put it bluntly, they are selling officials."
"Is there such a thing?" Yan Rou was surprised, silent for a moment, and said unconvinced, "but... There must be many ministers who are honest and should not be punished together..."
"Of course they should also be punished." Tang Yin shrugged and said, "because they are stupid and stubborn, they clearly have a good resolution in front of them, but they regard the Pearl as mud and have no eyes. Shouldn't they be punished?"
Yan Rou was almost angry and said, "why do you say your decision is a pearl, but the ministers' mind has become mud?"
"I beat down the wind country with one hand. Will I fail it?"
"However, today, the wind country, all the ministers are also dedicated, and they will not harm the wind country!"
"So, ah, this is the difference in concept and thought. I can't wake them up with my talent. The most effective way is to use an iron fist."
Tang Yin patted Yin Rou's jade back with a smile and said softly, "Rou Er still doesn't care about the government affairs. I have a sense of propriety in my heart."
The words were like this, but Yan Rou was still worried. She said, "you are stubborn, and the ministers are also stubborn. What should you do in the end? And how should it end?"
Tang Yin smiled up and said confidently, "don't worry, I'll let them accept my decision."
"How? Keep them trapped in the palace without food or water?" Yan Rou puffed up her cheeks and asked, "will all the ministers die of thirst and hunger?" This is nonsense. There is no such way to deal with the government.
Tang Yin laughed and said, "I said that if there is a way, there will be a way. Rou'er should also have confidence in her husband!" Then he stood up and said, "come on, I'll take you back!"
Yin Rou wanted to continue to persuade him, but Tang Yin had taken her out of the garden.
Send her back to the bedroom. Tang Yin comforted her for a while before he got up and left. Instead of going back to the main hall immediately, he went to the Huaying palace of Wumei first.
Seeing Tang Yin coming, Wu Mei was a little surprised and asked, "is the front palace scattered?"
Tang Yin smiled, walked inside and said, "mei'er knows!"
"How can you not know such a big thing!"
"The dynasty hasn't dispersed yet. It is estimated that the ministers are eating in the hall."
Tang Yin went to the bookshelf, took out a book box from inside, opened the cover and looked inside. The book box was filled with large and small notes. After confirming that it was correct, he covered the cover again and clamped the book box under his arm, He hummed: "these guys, if you don't give the king face, then don't think the king will give you face again... Dare to fight with me and don't weigh your weight first... Give you steps and don't know how to borrow a donkey from a slope, fool and idiot..."
Listening to Tang Yin's childish muttering, Wu Mei was happy. She came to him and asked in a low voice, "does the king want to announce these in public?"
"I wanted to press it down, but now it's the only way." Tang Yin walked out with a book box in his hand.
Wu Mei looked at Tang Yin's back and sighed gently. She could have a hunch that there would be bad luck for a minister next.
Tang Yin returned to the main hall. The ministers who were wolfing down dinner hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks. The surrounding palace ladies also quickly came forward, took away all the dishes and chopsticks and sent them outside the hall.
"Did you adults eat well? How's it going? Has the discussion come to an end now?" Tang Yin sat on the throne and looked down at the crowd.
"Report back to the king, the minister and other opinions have not changed, the minister and other officials still believe that it is not appropriate to change now, and the system of recommending officials is still effective." Zhang Zhe was the first one to stand up and speak.
Tang Yin nodded, ignored him, looked at the other ministers, smiled and asked, "your views are the same as adults Zhang?"
"Yes, your majesty!" Many ministers fell to their knees and said, "the world is uncertain and disputes continue. Now if China abolishes the system of recommending officials, it will cause panic. At that time, China will be in danger of domestic and foreign troubles!"
"Knowing that the disadvantages of the old rules outweigh the advantages, we still have to adhere to the old ones. They are pedantic, stupid and hateful."
Tang Yin said something, put the book box on the desk, opened it, took out a note from it, looked at it roughly, and then raised his head and said, "where is shixinrui, the right mayor?"
"I'm here!" At the back of the civil service queue, a man stepped out quickly and bowed to Tang Yin.
"Lord Xin, the king asks you, how many officials do you recommend to the imperial court as the right Prime Minister?" Tang Yin narrowed his eyes and commented on him coldly.
"Er... Report back to the king. Wei Chen recommended a total of 27 people."
"That's a lot!" Tang Yin sneered and said, "let's see who you recommend! Lu Che, the current post of Fengcheng Dachang, 5000 liang of silver; Qian Hao, the current post of Yongzhou vice mayor, 8000 Liang; Mao Wenyuan, the current post of Shunchang city guard, 8000 Liang... Lord Xin, do you want me to go on?"
Xinrui heard it clearly. The whole person was stunned and stunned. As if he had been drained of his strength for a moment, he fell to his knees with a plop, and the beads of bean sweat kept dripping down.
What Tang Yin said may not be understood by others, but Xinrui knows that the silver number mentioned by the king is the reward he received at the beginning.
I only record the remuneration I received in the secret account book. No one knows where the account book is hidden except myself, but how does the king know this?
"Big... King, micro and micro ministers are guilty, big and king, spare your life..." Xinrui repeatedly kowtowed and banged his forehead against the marble on the ground.
"Spare your life? You have earned more than 100000 Liang just by recommending officials. How do you want the king to spare you?"
Tang Yin took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "besides, I have just given you a chance. You don't know how to grasp it. No wonder I'm not considerate. Come and escort Xin Rui to the Lieutenant's house to find out the case and punish him severely!"
With his voice, the bodyguard outside the hall came in. One of them grabbed Xinrui's arm and dragged it away.
"Your Majesty, spare your life... Prime minister, save the next Officer -" Xinrui was completely stunned and shouted.
He is the chief historian of Youcheng and the subordinate of Shangguan Yuanji. Although the latter doesn't know the specific situation, he can guess the general situation. At this time, even Shangguan Yuanji, who is so smooth and sophisticated, looks ugly and doesn't speak.
Save him? He doesn't know who to save himself! His subordinates have engaged in malpractices for personal gain and perverted the law. Naturally, he is also to blame.
"Where is Zuo Chengchang Shi Hu Yong?"
"Micro... Micro minister is here!" An official came out of the line of generals on the left and knelt on his knees.
Tang Yin is lazy to ask more questions, Looking directly at the note, ye Pei and Ye Yu said: "Ye Pei and Ye Yu, the current leader of Chongcheng city and the current guard of Chongcheng City, 10000 liang of silver per person; Gong Bing, 13002; Yan Ping, 17500 Liang; hey hey, there are even more. Ren Jie, the County lieutenant of Zhongshan County, Gaoyang County, 22002. When he spent so much money for the first time, how long will he have to search and get back..."
Listening to Tang Yin's words, not to mention that Hu Yong was trembling. Even Qiu Zhen couldn't stand aside. He stepped out of the line and fell to his knees.
"The rats are greedy for money. I'll die in your hands sooner or later! Come on, pull Hu Yong out. There's no need to interrogate him and put him to death immediately!" Tang Yin didn't look at these things. He became more and more angry. His chest was as stuffy as a big stone, and his eyes seemed to burst out fire.
