Chapter 236 Prince Consort, this is not what I mean.
Jinling City.
Royal Palace.
Huide Hall.
Emperor Wei has not seen anyone today and has been waiting for Qin Yu in the hall for a long time.
The only one who could make the Emperor Wei and others in Manchu Wei could make the Emperor Wei go to.
But Emperor Wei was not in a hurry.
In the three years since he ascended the throne, he has not slept for a few nights and was at ease.
Now that the imperial court has been cleared, the ministers of the three provinces and six ministries are all loyal and good ministers, and the Emperor Wei has been much more relaxed.
By the end of the year, he would rarely be quiet for a while.
Not long.
Under Fu'an's leadership, Qin Yu and Xiao Nan walked in from outside the hall.
"I've seen Your Majesty (Father)."
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan stepped forward and bowed.
Emperor Wei smiled and said with a smile: "No need to be polite, you two can sit down."
As he said that, he went straight to the topic, "Qin Yu, I have heard of the method of the Qianshou Banquet. I have a very good idea and I am very satisfied. So I want to hand over this task to you and the prince.
What do you think?”
"You also know that it is not easy for the queen to command the three palaces and six courtyards. If I press such a big deal on the queen, I'm afraid there will be no time."
Qin Yu: "..."
What can I think?
I stood and watched...
He really didn't expect that he had an idea and even brought someone else in.
However, Emperor Wei brought out Empress Chen, and Qin Yu was not able to refuse.
After all, there is really not much time left.
During this period, Qin Yu was so idle that he could change his mind after taking on this job.
Qin Yu nodded slightly and responded: "Okay, I'll be there next."
“Hahaha…”
Emperor Wei smiled and then said seriously: "I did not read you wrongly. I knew you were reliable, but I still have a few points to explain to you."
"First, we must avoid the suspicion of embellishing peace. Nowadays, the internal and external troubles of the Wei Dynasty are still serious, and the people's lives are still suffering. We should not engage in "the great emperor's grace", "peace in the world", "rich people", etc.
Things that are virtual and stupid should focus on reality."
"Secondly, although it is the Banquet of Thousand Old Ones I have set up, it should be mainly affordable. Don't do the show that it costs too much. Don't waste extravagance and waste in order to demonstrate the royal dignity. The people can't even have enough food. What kind of royal dignity do you do?
Isn’t the people poking my backbone?”
"Today I mentioned this in the court, and some people suggested that it would be a good idea to give each old man who came to the banquet some rewards, but the things they suggested were too expensive, and I felt that it was unnecessary, so I would still give them a reward.
Some gold and silver are the most realistic.”
"There is also a standard for the meal costs of each table. I am not afraid of spending money, but it is really unnecessary to waste it. Therefore, you are responsible for the dishes at Qianshou Banquet, which is better to be economical."
"In short, I held the Banquet of Thousand Old Ones this time to listen to the voices of the people, to enjoy the people, and to narrow the distance between them, and to be sure not to whitewash the peace and pretend to be the prosperous era of the Great Wei."
Emperor Wei said this sentence very heartily.
He expressed his true thoughts.
If Emperor Wei had not had these heart-to-heart words, Qin Yu would really not be willing to care about this matter.
He didn't want it, either. Qianshou Banquet was to dress up in prosperity and whitewash the peace.
Paused.
Qin Yu nodded and responded, "I understand your Majesty's words. If you want to invite someone, you must be simple and not extravagant, real and lively!"
Emperor Wei smiled and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Your brain is so fast, you will definitely understand my good intentions. This matter is under the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. You can talk to Su Maode, the Minister of Rites.
Let’s discuss it.”
As he said that, he looked at Xiao Nan again, "Crown Prince, you must listen to Qin Yu and assist him in doing this."
Xiao Nan bowed and said, "Don't worry, Father."
After discussing this matter.
Qin Yu and Xiao Nan left.
On the way.
Qin Yu was thinking about this.
The Banquet of Thousand Old Ones is simple but not simple, lively but not extravagant.
What does Qin Yu feel? Is Emperor Wei trying to spend a small amount of money to do big things?
Emperor Wei’s idea is really fine, but he always feels that Emperor Wei is stingy and doesn’t want to spend money.
However, this is really not a difficult task for Qin Yu.
The Qianshou Banquet is nothing more than three things: meals, gifts and rituals.
Qin Yu doesn’t have too many things to do, so there is no need to worry about these things.
......
Ministry of Rites.
Council Room.
Qin Yu, Xiao Nan, Minister of Rites Su Maode and Minister of Rites Zuo Quan were discussing the banquet of Qianshou.
"Mr. Prince Consort, Your Majesty has mentioned this matter in the court today, but... but the old minister said something that should not be said. Will this be suspected of whitewashing the peace?"
"The people of the Great Wei Dynasty were not doing well, and the land annexation phenomenon was very serious. We were holding a banquet for Thousand Old Man in the palace this year. Isn't this fooling ourselves?"
Su Maode looked at Qin Yu and said with certainty.
Su Maode was originally an Imperial College supervisor, with strong abilities and a very good relationship with Zhang Zi'an.
If it weren't for Zhang Zi'an's sake, he wouldn't have been the Minister of Rites.
However, like Zhang Zian, he admired Qin Yu very much.
If it weren't for the Qiansou Banquet proposed by Qin Yu today, Su Maode would have refuted Emperor Wei on the spot, and this thing is very suspicious of deceiving oneself.
But Qin Yu could turn decay into magic every time, so he forced himself to say nothing.
Listening to Su Maode's concerns.
Qin Yu smiled indifferently, "Old Su, I can understand your concerns completely. Not only do I understand them, but Your Majesty is also afraid of backfiring."
"So your Majesty made a few requests for me..."
Then, he told Su Maode about what Emperor Wei said, "Don't embellish the peace, do not waste extravagance and other precautions."
Su Maode listened, his face looked much better and asked, "So, the prince, the prince, and the Ministry of Rites are fully responsible for this matter?"
"That's right."
Qin Yu nodded, "Old Su, it's actually said it's a banquet for thousands of people, but it's not easy for Manjingzhou to invite hundreds of people in such a short time, so the budget shouldn't be very high."
"Let me do this, I will take care of the banquet, gifts and ceremony items, and the budget is about 5,000 taels of silver. How about the Ministry of Rites' work such as banqueting the elderly and the arrangement?"
Hearing this.
Don't talk about Xiao Nan.
Even Su Maode and Zuo Quan were confused.
Five thousand taels of silver?
The Banquet of Thousand Old Ones, as well as civil and military officials and royal families, can be copied by thousands of people.
Just spend 5,000 taels of silver?
I was stunned when I saw a few people.
Qin Yu stopped, frowned slightly, and said in confusion: "Five thousand taels of silver, still... is it too much? Shouldn't you reduce it?"
Chapter completed!
