"The emperor, the chief minister of the cabinet, the official, and the ministers of the two ministries of the Ministry of Revenue jointly submitted a memorial, asking the court to quickly discuss the new money law and eliminate Liao funds to relieve the people's worries."

After the eunuch Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Silijian, reported to Zhu Youxiao that the memorial was sent to the ban court without a cabinet ticket, he read the content of the joint memorial.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao laughed: "This Fang Congzhe did not disappoint me. He knew what I was thinking! He was an old minister of the three dynasties!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "I sent an order to set up a government affairs hall in the duty room on the side of the Longzong Sect in the Ganqing Gate. The regent minister was designated as the first rank. Fang Congzhe was promoted to the regent minister and was given a carriage in the Forbidden City to enter the forbidden city. Later, he was on duty in the Political Affairs Hall to handle urgent military and civil affairs matters, and facilitate my inquiries at any time."

"I obey the order!"

Liu Ruoyu opened his mouth in surprise and replied.

Next.

Liu Ruoyu came to the cabinet in person to pass the imperial edict.

At the beginning, Liu Ruoyu met Han Du first.

When Han Yu saw that it was Liu Ruoyu, he asked with a smile: "Liu Neijing is here in person! But what is the important decree of Your Majesty?"

The eunuchs who are in charge of the seal and the pen of the Daming Silis are usually respected as the inner minister, just as the Grand Secretary is respected as the Pavilion Master.

Therefore, Han Du called Liu Ruoyu the inner minister.

Liu Ruoyu also smiled politely, without saying what the order was, and just asked: "Is Yuan Fu here?"

"I'm here, how can I ask your Majesty what instructions do you have?"

At this time, Fang Congzhe walked out in person.

Liu Ruoyu ran up quickly, half bent, held Fang Congzhe's arm, and said with a inferior smile: "How dare you work Yuanfu, you came out in person, it's just a dictator. I'll just go to your room to pass the order."

"If you are from your Majesty, you are here to pass the imperial edict. How dare you not come out to receive the imperial edict? Besides, you came to pass the imperial edict in person this time. I wonder what His Majesty's will?"

Fang Congzhe asked.

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly conveyed Zhu Youxiao's will and said, "I have congratulated Yuanfu first, so please ask Yuanfu to draft the order quickly."

After hearing this, Fang Congzhe pursed his lips hard to cover up his inner excitement, and knelt down vigorously, thanking the emperor for his kindness.

"Put the order, Yuanfu."

Liu Ruoyu continued to say with a smile.

"Okay, okay, drafting."

Fang Congzhe hurriedly stood up, and his hand trembling slightly began to prepare for the pen. However, when Liu Ruoyu handed over, he had to hurry up and get up and take the pen with both hands. But as soon as he stood up, he sat back, and then took the pen from Liu Ruoyu with one hand and started drafting the order.

The cabinet secretary next to him glanced at Liu Ruoyu and said to himself: "This father-in-law, are you not busy with the ritual supervision? How can you steal my job?"

After drafting the edict, Liu Ruoyu left the cabinet with the imperial edict and went to the rank of the literati.

After the rebuke, Liu Ruoyu personally took the imperial edict and sent it to the cabinet. He personally walked into Fang Congzhe's room and said, "Please, Yuanfu, the carriage is ready."

"Thank you, my father-in-law."

Fang Congzhe said something and walked out of the cabinet, entered the carriage, carried it into Zuoshun Gate from the two palaces, and headed to the Ganqing Palace.

Han Yu read the content of the imperial edict in the imperial edict room, and thus learned that the emperor set up a political affairs hall and promoted Fang Congzhe to the regent minister to work in the Qing Palace.

Now, when Han Yu saw Fang Congzhe sitting on his shoulder, he was naturally very envious and could not help but think: "The other Fang Daxing is better than himself! A minister of the two ministries of households and households submitted a memorial to reform the money law, so he went to a place closer to the emperor to do things. Why didn't I realize that the emperor always said that if the world is in chaos, he would return to Fengyang to make righteousness and reform the Zhongxing?"

"Yuan Fu didn't come to pay the day?"

Wang Xianggan came to the cabinet at this time, and when he saw that Fang Congzhe was not here, he asked about Han Du.

Han Du said so sourly: "I went into the palace! And I went there on my shoulder! From now on, we will be the two of us in the cabinet."

After hearing this, Wang Xiang understood immediately and followed Han Yu's gaze toward the Ganqing Palace.

Therefore, the two of them stood outside the cabinet door.

From time to time, Han Du asked Wang Xiang and said, "It should be very different to do business in a place closer to the emperor, right?"

...

Fang Congzhe had to admit that the government office was not as spacious as the cabinet office, but when he saw the emperor's bedroom outside the window, he could know the emperor's whereabouts before any official at any time. He suddenly felt that working here was quite comfortable, at least quieter than the cabinet.

"Your Majesty is here!"

At this time, the Nei Guan shouted.

Fang Congzhe hurried out of the government affairs hall and knelt under the jade steps.

Zhu Youxiao walked towards the Political Affairs Hall at this time.

The Ganqing Palace is indeed not far from the Zhengshi Hall, and it is only a few dozen meters away.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe did not kneel for long, and Zhu Youxiao came to him and said, "Please get up, and you will not kneel at other times unless you have other foreign ministers in the ceremony."

Zhu Youxiao didn’t know if Fang Congzhe had high blood pressure. If he often knelt like this, he would cause cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases to occur suddenly, so he gave Fang Congzhe a grace to avoid kneeling.

After entering the Political Affairs Hall, Zhu Youxiao also pointed to the Grand Master's chair in front of the case and said, "This is where you sit. In the future, in the Political Affairs Hall, you can sit even if I come in person. This is my grace to the Minister of the Respondent, and it is also to facilitate the handling of government affairs. Otherwise, how can I review the question book while standing?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Fang Congzhe had to admit that although the emperor is tough and ruthless, he knew how to be polite when he should be polite.

Fang Congzhe sat on the Taishi chair, like a clay statue of Buddha.

Zhu Youxiao, who was already sitting opposite him, said at this time: "I have read the memorials from several old ministers who jointly named Liao pay. The Liao pay is indeed abolished. Even if the court lacks money, it cannot add more money to the people. The people only have much money and food. Before the extra money to the famine, they will have to go hungry. Will this extra salary be hungry even in a good year? If the people really want to rebel, the court's finances will be even worse! However, the rebellion of the Donglu must be pacified, and therefore the increased money and food must continue to increase. However, the deficit of the court is getting worse and worse, so the tax and finance need to be reformed, but it is not necessary to change from the people."

"Your Majesty said that, in my opinion, if the court catches up with a tax, the Liao pay will not need to be collected, which is enough to spend at present. Not to mention dealing with the rebellion of the Donglu, even if there are a few more places, the phenomenon of arrears of food and wages has become increasingly serious in recent years. Not to mention anything else, the salt tax and silver in Taicang alone cannot be collected! There is also the gold and silver that needs to be given to His Majesty every year, and it cannot be collected!"

Fang Congzhe began to say that he knew that the emperor was to become a reform official, so he actively expressed his opinions.

Zhu Youxiao therefore pointed out and asked: "In the view of Yuanfu, how should we collect all the taxes and grains that we owe? Recover this tax?"
