Chapter 75 Reform

"Marquis Fu'an, what do you think?" Rong Yue pointed at Marquis Fu'an, who was the imperial concubine's brother Wu Jing.

Marquis Fu'an wore a Liang crown, a leather belt, and a scarlet Qilin brocade robe, which made his round belly look very festive.

His handsome, chubby face was filled with respect and flattery, and he smiled with his eyes narrowed. "Your Majesty, I think the shepherd's purse you gave me is very delicious, it's simply a delicacy on earth."

Rong Yue couldn't bear to see that the Marquis of Fu'an, who was only 7 feet 5 inches (1.75 meters) tall, weighed more than 200 pounds and was as round as a ball. Most importantly, the weight was growing on his belly.

He quickly turned his head to look at Su Qiyang to wash his eyes. Ziyun seemed to have maintained a better figure and had not gained weight in middle age.

Nowadays, most military generals have big bellies because they need enough calories to maintain energy consumption. In addition, armor and weapons weighing dozens of kilograms also consume physical strength.

There are not many civil servants like Su Qiyang who are both civil and military. How can Rong Yue not be biased?

Su Qiyang is so famous because of his outstanding fighting skills. When he was young, no one could beat him in the fights at Xuanwumen. He was able to convince people with reason. What's more, what about now?

He said nonchalantly: "Can you tell me in detail?" Seeing that His Majesty was in the leisure time to chat with him, Marquis Fu'an Wu Jing was glad that he had asked the servants about cooking yesterday, and luckily he had guessed the question correctly.

"Your Majesty, my humble cook blanched the mustard greens in water, then stir-fried them with chicken tongues, and then mixed them with eggplant and turtle. The taste is quite good."

If Su Zhenzhen were here, she would be shocked. This would require dozens of chickens, and the other parts would definitely be discarded.

Rong Yue's eyes dimmed slightly. "My dear, your description is quite good, but I don't know how many chickens should be used to match it?" The sound of the Canaan Fragrance, Gold Millet and Longevity Eighteen-Bead bracelet in his hand was crisp and dull, and he did not stop.

Rong Jinyu thought to himself that it was not good, but his uncle did not react and said casually: "Your Majesty, about thirty chickens." The ones used for eggplant turtles were naturally not counted.

"What about the rest?" he asked again. By this time, the clever man had already lowered his head silently. "Of course, it was discarded," said Fu Anhou.

Rong Yue smiled, "Very good. Kneel down." His voice turned cold. Marquis Fu'an opened his eyes wide in confusion. Wasn't the emperor praising him? But he didn't dare to speak and knelt quickly.

Su Qiyang tried hard to suppress his laughter and smiled secretly with his head down. Is this guy a fool?

It was as if he hadn't brought his brain to court just now.

Your Majesty just mentioned the locust plague in Guizhou. If you have any political awareness, you should not say the following sentence at this time.

Your Majesty is a wise and enlightened emperor, not a wasteful and incompetent ruler.

It made him laugh to death.

Rong Jinyu's face darkened. Had his uncle been praised for too long and lost his sensitivity?

The locust plague father must be unhappy, as he is being so extravagant and walking into trouble.

Moreover, he thought more deeply: his father had just embarrassed the Crown Prince in public, and in order to check and balance him, he would definitely suppress him...

At this time, the magnificent hall was so quiet that even the sound of breathing could be faintly heard, and you could hear a pin drop on the ground.

After what seemed like a lifetime, His Majesty finally spoke, "My dear ministers, do you know what mustard greens are?"

No one dared to speak.

They don't know each other.

Su Qiyang's heart finally died. He felt the gaze of His Majesty on him, raised his eyes slightly, and whispered: "Your Majesty, they are wild vegetables." His beloved daughter and His Majesty's beloved son dug wild vegetables together, although the ones given by His Majesty were definitely not dug by them.

Not to mention His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, even His Majesty is not the kind of person who would be generous enough to share the gifts given by his beloved son, not to mention that the quantity is not enough.

Marquis Fu'an's forehead instantly dripped with beads of sweat, his face as pale as paper. He understood, Your Majesty!

Give him another chance!

Woo woo woo…

Rong Yue looked at Su Qiyang's elegant posture and looked at him with admiration, "Minister Su is right, it is a wild vegetable." He then glanced at the ministers leisurely, "You are the parents of the people, but you don't know the five grains, and you don't know the sufferings of the world. I am not happy." His voice was as cold as ice. He had a high position and a generous salary, but he had raised a group of pleasure-seeking rats.

At this moment, even Su Qiyang knelt down, complaining in his heart, "Your Majesty, you didn't even inform me first, so I will definitely be the one to take the blame in the end. Please don't bring hatred to him like this."

Who made His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan send the wild vegetables without telling anyone yesterday?

If we inquire about it today, the whole capital will know about it.

Most importantly, who made his precious daughter so greedy?

Forget it.

He suffered for his daughter, whom he had loved since she was a child.

Rong Jinchen did not kneel this time, he just bowed and saluted, mainly because he was unhappy.

What if his father takes advantage of the situation and all the firepower is directed at his father-in-law?

Who made Qingqing the beloved daughter of his father-in-law?

Then Qingqing will definitely be unhappy.

How should he coax Qingqing?

We have to find a way to deal with this.

"The court pays you so much salary every year, but as a senior official, you don't even care about the locust plague. I thought the hint you gave yesterday was very clear, and I am very sad." Rong Yue had a sad expression on his face.

The ministers remained silent, as they were a little frightened by His Majesty's sentimentality.

Can you please be reasonable?

His Majesty!

They just learned about the locust plague in Guizhou!

Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, then do it to your heart's content!

Rong Yue didn't listen. Who said that the small-scale locust plague half a month ago was not a natural disaster?

In other words, he sent Lord Li to provide disaster relief in time, otherwise the people would definitely revolt.

"Marquis Fu'an will be confined to his home for three months to reflect on his mistakes, and his salary will be fined ten thousand taels." Rong Yue's voice was cold, and he waved his hand again, "I want to reform the law."

The ministers' worries finally settled.

They just know it.

well.

never mind.

Let Your Majesty change.

It's no use for them to object.

What if the Jinyiwei raids your house?

These people are not innocent. What if Your Majesty thinks that they are too extravagant by stir-frying meat with wild vegetables?

It’s better to be careful.

To be honest, they didn't expect that His Majesty didn't pursue the victory last time.

Given Your Majesty's prestige, their opposition will be futile.

Who told them to be just a worker?

Learn the literary and martial arts, and sell them to the imperial family.

"Your Majesty, I obey your orders. Your Majesty is wise." They all echoed.

Rong Yue looked at their reluctant expressions and said calmly, "Lord Su."

Su Qiyang thought to himself, now it's here, he will know. It's not easy to be the emperor's confidant.

"I'm here." He said loudly, sighing in his heart.

Forget it.

If I don't go to hell, who will?

Rong Yue calmly ordered, "The current Minister of Revenue and Grand Secretary Su Qiyang has been promoted to Chief Minister of the Cabinet, in charge of the reform."

Ministers: Holy shit!

His Majesty!

You shouldn't be so biased!

You've gone too far!

cabinet!

Su Qiyang is the only Grand Secretary in the Cabinet!

Now he's the Prime Minister!

The relationship between you two, king and minister, is a story that will be passed down through the ages.

Are they all nameless passersby?

They are so jealous!

Woo woo woo…

There is a reason why the ministers are so jealous. Your Majesty has been on the throne for so many years, and in the past ten years or so, the Grand Secretaries were replaced every two or three years, which is faster than the imperial examination system.

In the past ten years, Su Qiyangjian has been the only one in the emperor's heart, and His Majesty is very fond of this only child.

In addition, the Prime Minister passed away a few years ago, and out of the original cabinet of one to five people, only Su Qiyang was left with the last laugh.

What is a powerful official?
