That day, Wei Yunyi got up early.
After breakfast.
I first went to the alchemy room, which was very nicely decorated.
Everything has been prepared, including an alchemy furnace left behind by Emperor Gaozong.
Afterwards, he ordered people to prepare the medicinal materials for refining Xiaohuandan. Because Wang Jin went to Longyang Prefecture to deal with Li Fang's affairs, Wei Yunyi was a little uncomfortable for a while.
After all, this man is witty, smart, capable, and much more comfortable to serve than other eunuchs.
But the person has already left, it’s impossible to call him back, right?
Moreover, Wei Yunyi was still expecting Wang Jin to make a big deal about Li Fang's matter.
This would cause unrest in the court.
This will ruin your luck.
That is the most important thing now.
After checking the alchemy room, Wei Yunyi went directly to the imperial study.
As early as yesterday, he had told Zhao Lingying that she could take a day off.
This is certainly not what he wants to see, but today is the time to hold a royal meeting.
As the name suggests, the Imperial Conference was a meeting held in front of the emperor. Unless there were special circumstances, only the Grand Secretaries of the Cabinet could attend, and the meeting took place in the Imperial Study.
Almost all of the cabinet ministers held tremendous power and were leading figures in their respective departments.
The imperial court meetings of the Great Wei were decided as early as the reign of Taizu.
It must be held once a month.
The purpose is to allow cabinet members to summarize the major events that happened last month.
At the same time, make plans for next month, which is simply equivalent to the end-of-month summary.
In fact, Wei Yunyi had no interest in these things and even thought about abolishing them directly.
After all, if this is the case, maybe you can gain some tyrant value.
But he had better plans.
Hasn’t my father-in-law been promoted to the position of Deputy Prime Minister of the Cabinet?
The other party has been reported all the time and must be resentful. I have to support him and let him play his role.
Soon, Wei Yunyi arrived at the imperial study.
As soon as he entered, he saw five cabinet ministers standing in a neat row. In the middle was the current Grand Tutor and the Chief Minister of the Cabinet, Zhang Zhengming.
Surrounding him were three other cabinet members, and Song Gongwen stood at the very edge, seemingly out of tune with the others.
Apparently, even though he has been in the cabinet for some time, he still hasn't integrated.
Just like when he was in the Dali Temple, he was ignored and excluded by his colleagues.
"Your Majesty!"
When the five cabinet ministers saw the emperor coming, they all bowed and saluted.
In the Wei Dynasty, no matter whether they were civil officials or military generals, they did not have to perform the kneeling ceremony unless it was an important occasion.
Seeing this, Wei Yunyi nodded, walked to the top of the dragon throne, and said, "My dear ministers, please don't be polite. Please take a seat."
The Grand Secretary bowed and said yes, then sat down in order of precedence. However, the strange thing was that Song Gongwen took over Li Fang's position, the second-in-command of the cabinet, but he sat at the back.
This is also normal. Ranking is just ranking and does not represent prestige. Others have served as Grand Secretaries for many years.
Even though they are not as good as Song Gongwen on the surface, they have seniority and deserve to sit in the upper seat.
Unless he can achieve some major achievements, he can only stand back.
At this time, Wei Yunyi was also observing his father-in-law.
I also met him several times at court meetings during that period.
But because it was far away, I couldn't see it clearly.
How should I put it, he really does look like a serious scholar.
There is some resemblance between her eyebrows and eyes and the queen's, but there is something wrong with her temperament.
He is totally different from Zhang Zhengming. He looks like a famous minister and a good prime minister. To put it simply, he looks very smooth.
He is not even as good as the other three cabinet ministers, and his aura is also inferior.
Wei Yunyi felt relieved and was not afraid of his father-in-law's ability.
I’m just afraid that he’s not mediocre enough.
very good.
I can now safely hand over the heavy responsibility of ruining my fortune to you!
Thinking of this, Wei Yunyi glanced around and said softly, "Okay, now that everyone is here, let's get started."
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then the normal process began. For example, a university scholar said that there was a flood in a certain place in the south, and silver was needed for relief. There was also a drought in the northwest, and silver was also needed.
Generally speaking, almost everything requires money, which is normal. Money is a good thing and has many uses.
Especially when it comes to governing a huge country, it is absolutely impossible to do so without money.
Fortunately, there were four generations of powerful rulers before the Wei Dynasty who used various means to govern the country.
So the money in the national treasury can still be considered sufficient.
To deal with some minor disasters in the local area.
Not a problem at all.
Of course, that’s all.
Because during the previous emperor's time, there were several wars, which consumed a lot of money.
The money in the national treasury today will not last long, and may be gone in a major disaster.
At this time, several cabinet ministers also used this as an excuse to argue with each other.
But as before, there is no conclusion.
In the end, I can only say.
Is there any way to save some money?
After all, compared to open source, saving money is relatively simpler.
In response to these words, Wei Yunyi just nodded silently from time to time.
Are you kidding? Even if he knew of a way to increase finances, he would never tell it.
Because once the economy gets going, won't his luck also rise? This is not what he wants.
In this way, half an hour passed and everyone gave up the topic.
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
