Shen Zhiyi's youthful voice made the old emperor feel that he could live for a few more decades.
But as soon as he entered Concubine Zhang's palace, he felt as if his life span might be shortened.
After returning home, Shen Zhiyi lay down on the soft couch. Winter was about to come and it was very cold at night. She curled up in the quilt, thinking about whether to hire a sister.
You also need to find a strong older sister, because chopping wood is a strenuous job.
The job of a waiter leaves little private time for one, and when Shen Zhiyi returns home, he has no time to add firewood to the kang.
"Ah, when I get home, I feel cold and think that this is how my life will be."
Shen Zhiyi wrapped himself up like a silkworm pupa, turned on the surveillance system, and began his day's pre-bedtime entertainment.
*
[On the 23rd, he gave lectures in the Yanying Palace.]
After the pen falls...
[Old Emperor, you are considerate of officials below the fifth rank. You didn't attend the court because the weather was too cold. Look at me, I am also below the fifth rank! ]
All the civil and military officials in the court asked: If you run away, who will write the daily records?
The old emperor had a stern face and looked unhappy.
[It's fine to get up early in the morning, but I also have to face the old emperor's sour face. ]
[Hmm? No wonder you have such a stinky face, hahahaha. ]
All the civil and military officials in the court pricked up their ears subconsciously.
[Last night, the old emperor went to Concubine Zhang's place. He had just warmed up the bed when he was driven out by Concubine Zhang not long after.]
[It’s not kind in such a cold weather, but the old emperor is often driven out by the Empress and Concubine Zhang. The old emperor should reflect on himself.]
The old emperor blew his beard angrily.
[Let me see what the old emperor did to be driven out by Concubine Zhang Shu. ]
[Oh, you deserve it. Who told you to say that Concubine Zhang was rude? The old emperor is old and has low emotional intelligence.]
The old emperor became even angrier.
He just wanted Concubine Zhang to be more ladylike. Is there anything wrong with that?
"Ahem."
The old emperor began today's morning court session with his habitual cough.
The first thing that happened was an imperial decree appointing the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue as the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
Many people were shocked, but the officials who got some information looked calm.
The Minister of Personnel is a very important position, and many people want this position to fall into the hands of their family members.
But there's nothing wrong with being the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue now. This guy is not in anyone's camp. In a sense, he is neither good nor bad.
The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue did not expect that this would fall on him.
Wasn't his promotion too fast?
The young man received the imperial edict, and at this moment a slightly excited voice sounded in his mind.
[Oh my, this guy is so handsome, much more handsome than this year's third place winner.]
[Ah, seeing a young and handsome face among a group of old guys, all my resentment this morning disappeared completely, so can this guy come out more often in the future? Every time I stand in the crowd, there is an old guy in front of me, which made me see it clearly today. ]
The old man in front is the Minister of Revenue.
What did he do to offend anyone?
Shen Zhiyi would not care about the thoughts of an old man at all. At this moment, her eyes seemed to be glued to the new Minister of Personnel.
【His lips look soft! 】
【When asked what I like to eat most, I like tofu the most. 】
[I really want to swing on my brother's eyelashes and slide on his abdominal muscles! ]
[You are so sweet, I want to taste you from beginning to end! ]
All the civil and military officials in the court asked: What’s wrong with Shen Zhiyi today?
The newly appointed Minister of Personnel felt uneasy and wanted to fly to his workstation immediately to start his day's work.
"yue."
[Hmm? Who vomited in Yanying Hall early in the morning? ]
The person who vomited was the Minister of Revenue who couldn't hold it in.
The Minister of Revenue saw that everyone was looking at him, and silently glanced at the doctor behind him.
Ministry of Revenue Doctor: ...No way?
The doctor of the Ministry of Revenue closed his eyes and began to drink madly, apologizing as he drank: "Your Majesty, I am really sorry. I felt a little nauseous this morning. Drink."
The old emperor looked at the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue with pity and said nothing more.
[I take back the compliments I just gave to the Minister of Revenue, ah no, the newly appointed Minister of Personnel. Damn, such a stingy person. Such a stingy person.]
Everyone: Why did you suddenly change your tone?
[Old Emperor, why didn't you transfer him to the Ministry of Revenue earlier? And this Minister of Revenue is really something, how could he allow such an inhumane suggestion to pass. ]
[Hey, they are also canceling our year-end bonuses! This is intolerable!]
Everyone around him gasped and looked at the Minister of Revenue and the new Minister of Personnel with eyes as sharp as knives.
I'm not afraid of stingy people, I'm just afraid of a group of stingy people gathering together.
Fortunately, one of the stingy guys has left and gone to cause trouble in the Ministry of Personnel.
The Minister of Revenue raised his head and made a simple proposal to the Secretary of the Central Secretariat. Whether the cancellation of unnecessary year-end rewards could be passed first depends on whether the Secretariat is willing to draft it. If so, it also depends on whether the Ministry of Personnel and the old emperor can approve it.
In short, he just mentioned it verbally.
When the old emperor heard the news, his eyes lit up and he looked at the Minister of the Secretariat.
The Secretary-General pretended not to see anything.
He has a problem. He wants to reduce his already meagre salary.
[Damn it, no wonder there are still so many corrupt officials even after the old emperor cracked down on them. It's because you're too stingy with your salaries. You're already so stingy, but the two stingy guys in the Ministry of Revenue still want to cut back.]
Minister of Revenue: What do you know? The national treasury is so empty that we have to find ways to squeeze it out.
