Naturally, Ji Hao didn't know what happened after he left.
After he was dressed, he was escorted by a group of eunuchs as he headed towards the center of power in the Great Zhou Empire.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Before Ji Hao arrived, the eunuch's voice was heard.
By the time he arrived, all the officials had already arrived.
After Ji Hao sat on the dragon throne, everyone bowed to Ji Hao and said,""Greetings, my emperor. Long live my emperor!"
That's right, he was only bowing, not kneeling.
It wasn't that the Great Zhou Empire didn't have a kowtow ceremony, it was just that they didn't like it.
Ji Hao didn't like those kinds of kneeling and kowtowing, which were too enslaved.
Therefore, when the courtiers faced the Emperor, they would usually just bow with their hands folded in front.
"Everyone, rise!"
Ji Hao was no stranger to this procedure.
After all, it had been fifteen years since he ascended the throne at the age of sixteen.
"If there's anything, report it. If there's nothing, withdraw!"
The eunuch next to him also said in an orderly manner.
Ji Hao didn't take what he said seriously.
He knew very well that after his coma last night, there would definitely be a big show today.
He was already mentally prepared.
Therefore, he did not think of ending the morning court early and waited quietly.
As he waited, he sized up the officials below.
With just one look, he immediately discovered many " acquaintances."
"Left Prime Minister Cai Jing, Right Prime Minister Yan Song, Minister of Rites Qin Hui, Minister of Personnel Li Linfu, Minister of Revenue He Shen, Minister of War Gao Qiu…"
"This is simply full of treacherous officials. I'm really f * cking a dog.”
Looking at the group of ministers, Ji Hao almost vomited blood.
He didn't know if he should scold his past self for being blind or for being accurate.
Among so many officials in the Great Zhou, he had actually chosen this all-star lineup of treacherous officials.
The system of the Great Zhou Empire was a system of three provinces and six ministries.
The three provinces and six departments were the Ministry of Central Affairs, the Ministry of Menxia, the Ministry of History, as well as the six departments of Li, Li, Bing, Gong, Hu, and Xing.
The Left Prime Minister was in charge of the province under the door, which was responsible for reviewing the imperial edict, signing the chapter, etc., and had the power to seal and refute.
The Right Prime Minister was in charge of the Ministry of Central Affairs, which held the power to participate in politics, draft imperial edicts, and was responsible for some local administration.
The six departments belonged to the Shangshu Province and were under the direct command of the emperor. They were responsible for the administrative matters of the country.
In the past, Ji Hao didn't think that there was anything wrong with his team.
But now, he saw that his left and right prime ministers, as well as the four ministers, were all famous treacherous officials in the history of his previous life.
One could imagine how confused Ji Hao was right now.
He had nine sons who were as fierce as wolves and tigers.
Now there are treacherous officials all over the court.
Ji Hao seriously doubted whether he could really sit on the throne.
At this moment, Ji Hao couldn't help but feel a sense of danger.
……
While Ji Hao was thinking about all kinds of weird things, a series of quarreling noises from below pulled him back to reality.
"Your Majesty, in recent years, natural disasters have occurred everywhere. There have been droughts in the north and floods in the south. If we don't allocate funds for disaster relief, the world will probably be in turmoil.”
It was the Minister of Works, Ma Chang, who remonstrated.
Ma Chang, the Minister of Works, wasn't Ji Hao's 'familiar'.
However, Ji Hao knew him well.
Although Ma Chang wasn't very capable, he was diligent and honest.
The Ministry of Works was also responsible for the construction of the world's projects.
Therefore, Ji Hao trusted him and let him manage the Ministry of Works.
Just now, it was this Ma Chang who was arguing with a group of officials.
As he said, natural disasters were frequent in the world today, and the people were about to die.
Therefore, he suggested that Ji Hao allocate funds and let the Ministry of Works build water conservancy projects to deal with the disasters.
"Has the situation really reached such a critical stage?”
"If that's really the case, we should indeed allocate funds for disaster relief.”
Ji Hao, who had recovered his memory, naturally wanted to be a good emperor.
Knowing that building a water conservancy project was a good thing for the country and the people, he naturally supported it.
Unexpectedly, after Ji Hao said that, all the ministers glanced at each other.
Then, the Minister of Revenue, He Shen, stepped forward with a bitter expression.
"Your Majesty, building a water irrigation project requires a lot of money, but the national treasury is out of money now.”
"This lowly official is calculating carefully now. I'm only short of a penny to use as two cents. I don't have the money to build a water irrigation project at all.”
"Even if Your Majesty sold me, you wouldn't be able to take out so much money.”
If it was the old Ji Hao, he might have believed him.
But now, the dignified He Shen actually said that he had no money and was using a penny like it was two cents. Was this a joke?
By now, Ji Hao clearly understood that he might as well believe that the sun rose from the west.
"You really don't have money?"
Ji Hao stared at He Shen and asked.
He expressed that as the emperor, he only wanted to do some good things for the people. Could it be that this was not enough?
Your Majesty, I really don't have any money."
He Shen insisted.
Hearing He Shen's words, Ji Hao's eyes showed a trace of gloominess.
It seemed that his reputation as the emperor was not that good.
This made him finally realize that his authority was not as great as he had imagined.
No one knew what Ji Hao was thinking.
After He Shen spoke, Minister of War Gao Qiu also stood out.
"Your Majesty, the Minister of Works is full of nonsense.”
"Under His Majesty's light, the world is peaceful and the people are stable.”
"Even if there are some unruly people who cause trouble, under Your Majesty's dragon might, it's only a small illness.”
"This lowly official can easily suppress it. There's no need to alarm His Majesty at all. Minister Ma is making a mountain out of a molehill.”
Hearing Gao Qiu's words, Ji Hao couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Gao Qiu suppressed the rebellion?
Was this another joke?
Also, what did he mean by there was no need to disturb him at all?
Could it be that in their eyes, their emperor was just a decoration?
What kind of matter would they handle on their own without going through him?
Seeing that his emperor had become so powerful, Ji Hao could imagine how furious he was right now.
