The Minister of Revenue has been in high spirits recently. Who told him to be the first in the world?
Faced with the moody emperor, he successfully dissuaded His Majesty from the shocking idea of increasing the six ministries to eight.
Everyone knows that the old rules of our ancestors cannot be violated.
But I don't have the courage to persuade him.
The Minister of Revenue did this, even at the risk of losing his head.
All the civil and military officials in the court cheered for him.
Minister Sun was also somewhat pleased with himself, not because he felt that he had made any contribution, but because he was proud of upholding the ancestral system.
As a student, he should study poetry and books diligently and uphold the teachings of the ancients.
The carriage moved forward slowly, and the wheels rolled over the blue bricks, making muffled sounds.
Minister Sun closed his eyes to rest, his knees tapping against the swaying carriage.
Suddenly, he paused, opened his eyes, and asked in surprise, "Why did you stop?"
The groom seemed extremely frightened and said in panic, "Master, please come out and take a look."
Minister Sun has no objection.
As soon as he stuck his head out, he saw groups of people in different clothes surrounding the carriage.
Not just the people of Dazhao.
Minister Sun shook his clothes, got off the carriage, and asked, "Do you have anything important to do?"
Unexpectedly, the leaders glared at him fiercely and said, "Lord Sun has always been honest, so why can't you let us live a good life today?"
The Minister of Revenue was completely confused. He had held this lucrative position, but had never been greedy for anything.
"Where is this coming from?"
"My Lord, why are you playing dumb? My little immortal is devoted to serving the people. It is only for the sake of the people of all nations that I want to allow women to serve as officials. But your words seem quite contemptuous of women, and you are leading your ministers to strongly oppose it!"
"That's right, no matter if she's a woman or a man, you can actually force His Majesty to retreat!" said a rough voice.
Minister Sun was stunned. He was forcing His Majesty? Bullying the Crown Prince?
He has a brain, so does he think his life is too long?
It’s just opposition to the establishment of two departments. What does it have to do with the people?
No, people over there, listen to me.
This old man did not mean that, I was just following the way of the saints!
After a long time, a team of imperial guards arrived and rescued Minister Sun, who was talking dry-mouthed.
Minister Sun was self-aware of his integrity and debated with the scholars.
When he finally got home, he found that his wife and granddaughter didn't pay much attention to him.
As soon as he spoke, his wife retorted coldly: "Master, it's not that you look down on women, what are you saying to me?"
Minister Sun: “…”
I have a miserable life!
In the Purple Palace, His Majesty drank tea and watched the little fat boy playing by himself.
Wu Zhonghe leaned over and whispered something in his ear. His Majesty, who was as calm as snow, curled up the corners of his lips slightly and his eyes were dark.
The Minister of Revenue is a man of great talent and is the most suitable person for this position.
He is just a straight-laced person who always speaks the words of a sage.
He may look down on women, but he is definitely not a wicked person.
Such a person can be turned around if he knows his mistakes.
The emperor also wants Minister Sun to stay in this position until he is old, so that he can manage the Ministry of Revenue for his children in the future.
He cannot be killed, but Minister Sun will definitely obstruct his child's political orders in the future.
It’s better to set a trap early and let him fall into it.
Emperor Mingxi stopped smiling when he thought of this. He said to the little fat boy in a gentle voice, "I heard that the Minister of Revenue has been blamed by the people, and there are constant rumors in the capital. The old man is pitiful. Would my son be willing to go and visit him?"
The chubby kid who was playing with his butt sticking out threw the cube away, clapped his hands, and said crisply: "Father, let's go~"
He knew that Minister Sun was a rather serious grandfather.
But he was very kind to the fish, and the little fat boy remembered him.
After Yu'er was born, Minister Sun cried more than once. He was truly a loyal and patriotic man.
It’s just that the thoughts that are deeply rooted in the bones are difficult to eradicate.
Otherwise, given His Majesty's temper, anyone who dared to oppose him would have been killed long ago, so how could he allow Minister Sun to jump around like that?
Emperor Mingxi's trip this time was different from his previous ones.
He hated extravagance and waste the most, but this trip was carried out with great fanfare, fully demonstrating his imperial power.
The Royal Guards, armed with bows, crossbows and long whips, numbered two hundred men and were called the Qingyou Guards, who were to clear away everything along the way.
After that, there were twelve hand-held banners with various patterns printed on them.
Further on, there are the compass chariot and the egret chariot pulled by a craftsman and four horses.
Even though His Majesty has reduced his entourage, there are still more than 300 people accompanying him on this trip.
Emperor Mingxi and the little fat boy sat upright on the dragon chariot, looking straight ahead, showing their noble appearance.
Upon hearing that the emperor was about to arrive, countless people came to pay their respects. The crowd was excited and shouted "Long live the emperor!"
The little fat boy had a serious round face and nodded to the people along the way without blinking.
Knowing that no one could hear him, the little fat boy asked softly, "Father, why are we coming out like this? It's not like before."
Emperor Mingxi saw his rosy little face and chuckled, "My son, don't you like this?"
The little fat boy was shy and hesitant, not saying a word for a long time.
"Um?"
"I like it." The voice was muffled.
How could a fat baby who has loved luxury, gold and praise since childhood not like it?
He felt his blood boiling and he wished he could hold up the banner and wave it a few times on behalf of others.
The emperor's carriage did not stop, so the people followed. When they saw that it was heading towards Ling'anfang, they suddenly realized what was going on and shouted excitedly, "The emperor is going to Lord Sun's residence!"
"Your Majesty is truly merciful. Lord Sun had just contradicted you when you went to see him."
"I'm afraid this was the idea of the little immortal. Your Majesty would never do this."
