"I can't live like this anymore!"
"Sigh."
"I'm so worried."
Imperial City, Shangshu Province.
The civil and military officials who had just returned from court were all gathered in Shangshu Province.
Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, Xiao Yu, and Pei Ji hurried back to Shangshu Province from Prince Qin's Mansion and heaved a sigh of relief.
Old Emperor, you should just stay in Prince Qin's Mansion and enjoy your life. What are you thinking about?
With the little Emperor in the court, we civil and military officials are not worried, so what are you worried about?
Every time Pei Ji thought of how Li Chengdao had handled the affairs of the three provinces, six ministries, and twelve divisions before the Li Palace, he felt incredulous.
He had never seen an emperor as diligent as Li Chengdao.
Compared to Li Chengdao, Li Yuan had been slacking off for the past few years!
The four of them walked into Shangshu Province and heard sighs coming from within. They couldn't help but be stunned.
Pei Ji looked at the main hall of the government office in confusion. He saw all the officials who had just dismissed from court gathered there, sighing and sighing helplessly.
Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu walked over and looked at them curiously.
"Fellow colleagues, why do you have such expressions? There are so many important matters in the court, and you still have the time to stand here?”
Hearing this, all the officials raised their heads and looked at them.
"Is there anything important in the court?"
Fang Xuanling pointed at the small mountain of memorials Wang Yu had just sent over and said with a bitter smile,
"Even if there was a big matter, wasn't it all resolved by the little Emperor?”
Hearing this, Pei Ji walked to the front of the case with a suspicious expression. He bent down and picked up a memorial to read.
The memorial was filled with the little Emperor's handwriting.
The delicate and pretty words made people's eyes light up, but Pei Ji's expression gradually became solemn.
The memorial in his hand.
It was about how much silver was left in the treasury.
Pei Ji remembered that the National Treasury would come twice a year, once in the middle of the year and once at the end of the year.
Every calculation would take at least two months.
As the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Sun Fu Jia, who was seventy-eight years old, had a headache over the matter of statistics.
However, at this moment, the memorial in Pei Ji's hands had already finished counting the national treasury silver. It was written in detail line by line.
In the end, Li Chengdao gave a clear number," The amount of money in the national treasury is 89342 strings.
Pei Ji frowned." His Majesty has only been back for half a day. How can he calculate so clearly?" Assistant Minister Sun, have you checked to make sure that His Majesty didn't make a mistake?”
"Even if I miscalculated, His Majesty would not be wrong.”
Sun Fujia walked out, cupped his hands at him, and said bitterly,"
"This official has already asked the people from the Ministry of Revenue to calculate it. Of course, they didn't calculate it in such detail, but the numbers recorded in the front are exactly the same as the numbers calculated by Your Majesty.”
Hearing this, Feng Deyi, Chen Shuda, and Xiao Yu hissed.
"How did Your Majesty do it?" Xiao Yu asked in disbelief. I remember that it would take at least two months for the Ministry of Revenue to calculate the money in the national treasury.”
"If you want to know, I also want to know.”
Sun Fujia said with a worried expression,"
"No matter how it was done, the amount of silver in the national treasury has already been calculated. Not only that, everything in the Ministry of Revenue is written clearly in these memorials, making our Ministry of Revenue a leisurely government office.”
"Do you know what the people from the Ministry of Revenue are doing now? They're fighting to sweep the floor. Look at how idle they are!”
Pei Ji, Chen Shuda, Feng Deyi, and Xiao Yu looked at each other. They never thought that the usually busy Ministry of Revenue would have such a free day.
After Sun Fujia finished speaking, the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, who was sitting on the Hu stool, said with a frown,"
"Not only your Ministry of Revenue, but our Ministry of Works as well. From repairing roads and bridges to disaster relief in various provinces and counties, His Majesty has helped to deal with all the big and small matters.”
"In the past, I still had to wrangle with the Ministry of Revenue about the allocation of funds. Now, with a wave of his hand, His Majesty has directly allocated money to those who should be allocated.”
Duan Lun stomped his feet angrily and said bitterly,"
"Tell me, how am I supposed to continue being the Minister of Works? When I sat in the hall of the government office, there used to be people coming to ask questions, but now there's nothing! I'm f * cking bored out of my mind!"
The Minister of Justice, Li Daozong, sneered." That's nothing. The Ministry of Justice is even worse off."”
Under the gazes of the officials, Li Daozong gritted his teeth and said,
"You all know that the Ministry of Justice deals with unjust cases that cannot be decided by the various states.”
"All these years, there have been at least 49 cases of unjust and suspicious cases piled up in the Ministry of Justice. This is not counting the cases submitted by the various provinces and counties since the beginning of this year.”
"His Majesty is really amazing. With a single memorial, everything was resolved.”
Li Daozong opened his palm and said with a livid expression,
"I don't even know how I can continue being the Minister of Justice. Those who know that I'm the Minister of Justice, those who don't know might think that I'm going to the Ministry of Justice to laze around.”
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Gao Shilian, who had gray hair at his temples, hugged his black gauze hat and said with a gloomy expression,
"Our Ministry of Personnel Affairs is the same."
"The Ministry of Personnel is in charge of the promotion and dismissal of officials. I haven't had the time to ask about the promotion and dismissal of officials in the second half of the year.”
"I've read the memorial, and it's been handled so well that everyone is convinced. Every official who was promoted or dismissed has given a sufficient reason, and we don't even need to investigate.”
"I had my doubts at first, but after sending people out to investigate, guess what? His Majesty was right.”
Gao Shilian glanced at the officials and said,"
"For example, there is a person. I won't name him. According to the conclusion of the Ministry of Personnel, this person should be promoted, but His Majesty said in the memorial that there is a problem with his private morals.”
"I sent someone to investigate. As expected, not only did this person keep a concubine outside, but he also got into a fight with someone because of gambling and injured someone. At this moment, this person is crying for injustice in the Supreme Court.”
Gao Shilian said in a melancholic tone," I'm the Minister of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. I'm so aggrieved. I can do anything in the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs. There are even people fighting to sweep the floor. What do you think this is?!"”
Suddenly, the refined Minister of Rites, Doulu Kuan, walked up to him with a black face and said angrily,
"Do you want to try coming to our Ministry of Rites? I'll let you know what it means to be miserable!"
Feeling everyone's gaze, Doulu Kuan said angrily,"
"As you know, our Great Tang has a large number of ceremonial documents, and we still inherited them from the previous Sui Dynasty. Some of the ceremonial documents have yet to be sorted out. What our Ministry of Revenue is currently doing is to sort out some of the ceremonial documents left behind by the previous Sui Dynasty.”
As he spoke, Doulu Kuan picked up a memorial on the table and raised it high in the air. With a sullen expression, he said,
"Do you see this memorial? His Majesty has already gathered all the etiquette discussions together. Moreover, it's written one by one.”
"We casually checked, and it was indeed exactly the same as what was written in the memorial.”
" There are more than a hundred officials in the Ministry of Rites," Doulu Kuan said sadly." We'll have to rely on this matter for the rest of the year. Now that His Majesty has dealt with this matter, what do you think the Ministry of Rites will do? We might as well take a vacation!"”
