Immediately, he summoned the palace maid, washed up, and went straight to bed.
Early the next morning.
A month after the court was suspended, Chengtian Hall finally welcomed the morning court again.
Just as Wei Yunyi expected, some officials did not like to write memorials. If something happened, they would say it directly in person.
Some time ago, because of the court strike, he did not meet with any officials except the cabinet ministers, just because he did not want to cause trouble.
After all, if something really big happens, a cabinet minister will naturally speak up.
So even though we resumed the morning court today, all we talked about were trivial matters.
Of course, there is a saying that no matter how small the matter is, it is important for the country.
But the problem is.
What some officials said could be directly handled by the cabinet and there was no need to bring it up at the morning court.
Therefore, this time, Wei Yunyi did the same as usual. He just listened and threw all these problems to the cabinet. Anyway, they would not affect the overall situation.
But apart from that, there are still some things worth paying attention to.
For example, the silver needed by the navy to build warships has been reported and requires approval from the court.
In response, the Ministry of Industry was the first to stand up and oppose it.
Originally, they were responsible for building warships, but now the navy is required to take full control. Some officials in the Ministry of Works already had some opinions, and now that the required silver is being reported, they will naturally object.
Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, what's the point of having a Ministry of Industry? Just abolish it.
However, facing the opposition from the Ministry of Works officials, Wei Yunyi didn't care at all.
What he was most concerned about was how much silver his brother-in-law needed to build warships. Judging from the current situation, it should cost a lot. And now it was only the first step. If he wanted the navy to be truly equipped with warships and form combat effectiveness, he would need at least dozens of ships, right?
Therefore, Wei Yunyi simply waved his hand and agreed to the Ministry of Revenue to allocate funds to the navy.
As for how much pressure this will bring to the Ministry of Revenue.
He doesn't care.
Just spend money and consume national strength.
Song Gongwen had anticipated this, so he did not object. He already had a way to get the money, and he also guessed that His Majesty might want to reform the navy, and he just needed to support it.
The second thing was about the decree given to the Protector of Usudurya a few days ago, asking him to gather an army to help King Ali quell the rebellion.
Undoubtedly, this was once again opposed by many ministers, who felt that it was meaningless and would only bring disaster upon themselves.
If the other party quells the civil unrest and then turns their guns on us, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Wei Yunyi had also anticipated all of this.
He simply repeated what he had said to Concubine Ying before.
Officials can refute other explanations one by one. After all, they are all scholars and are best at analyzing word by word and finding loopholes.
But when they heard about Emperor Gaozu, no one could say anything. If they continued to oppose, they would be targeting Emperor Gao, and no matter how brave these people were, they would not dare to do so.
Emperor Gao, the founding emperor, was so powerful that he unified the country and his prestige was unparalleled.
Anyone who opposes at this time is truly standing against imperial power.
No one can bear it.
so.
At this point, when the discussion came to the end, this matter finally fulfilled Wei Yunyi's wish.
The last thing to mention was the northern border. The Minister of War said that the Khans of the ten grassland tribes seemed to have gathered together, and were likely planning an all-out battle. This would put a lot of pressure on Zhenbei Pass.
Although the old marquis is in charge, several months have passed since the war started, and many soldiers are tired.
I am afraid that by then, even if we can hold on, the soldiers stationed at Zhenbei Pass will suffer many losses.
Wei Yunyi naturally knew that the matter was serious.
Once Zhenbei Pass is breached.
Even tens of thousands of people will suffer.
However, he believed in Marquis Shenwu, who was the undisputed number one commander-in-chief of the Wei Dynasty.
Besides, the soldiers of Zhenbei Pass have gone through months of fighting, and the same is true for the army on the grassland.
Therefore, Wei Yunyi expected that this would most likely be the final blow from the ten tribes of the grassland. As long as they could get through it, there would be no major war at least from this year to the beginning of next spring.
Finally, he ordered more food and fodder to be dispatched from various prefectures in the northern border.
Defending the grassland tribes and protecting the country is a great achievement.
Of course, we cannot be unfair in this regard.
To this.
The officials did not say much because they also believed in Marquis Shenwu.
However, the Minister of War Lin Yuansong opened his mouth, but in the end he did not say anything.
Because he thought that the old marquis was indeed powerful, and he was very clear about it, but it would be better if His Majesty could send the Marquis of Guanjun who was guarding Gaoyang to help at this time.
If the old marquis and the upstart young marquis were to guard Zhenbei Pass together, it would be impossible to break through even if all eighteen tribes came out, let alone the ten tribes from the grassland.
But he also knew that Marquis Guanjun had only been the Protector of Gaoyang for a short time, and it was unlikely that he would be transferred to the northern border, so he gave up in the end.
At this point, the court meeting, which had been absent for a month, officially ended.
Wei Yunyi didn't stay long.
After leaving court, he went directly to Jingde Palace.
I had a breakthrough yesterday, so I went to Concubine Ying to exchange ideas. This has always been my routine.
As for the ministers, they all left and went about their business.
There is a cabinet.
Even if the emperor is not in charge of affairs, the court will still function normally and there will be no problems.
In this way, the days passed one by one. Since the last time the gentry came to the capital, nothing major happened and it was extremely quiet.
