Chapter 30 Future Father-in-law and Son-in-law Work Together
It was dawn, inside the Taiji Hall.
The officials who had eaten clove wontons or hundred-flavor wontons forced themselves to stay awake and listened to their colleagues' calm voices reporting to the emperor.
Rong Jinchen observed everyone casually.
Today happens to be the grand court meeting held once every ten days.
Rong Jinchen, wearing a prince's uniform, stood at the front on the right, and on the left was Crown Prince Rong Jinyou, who was half a step ahead of Prince Jin and Rong Jinchen. In this dynasty, the left is the most respected.
Emperor Rong Yue tried hard to keep his eyelids open, feeling drowsy. He had been dragged by Chen'er to show off and chat for too long yesterday, so he was very sleepy now.
The white-bearded Imperial Censor downstairs was spouting long-winded nonsense. He was so sleepy...
I was upset about not wearing a crown, because the Tongtian crown doesn't cover my face!
He glanced at his sons, each with a different expression, and his eyes darkened. He waited for a long time for the censor to finish his report.
He said impatiently, "I understand. The Left Censor will submit his memorial at that time. My dear ministers, do you have anything else to say?"
Everyone was secretly glad that Censor Zuo had finally stopped his long speech.
Don't want to have a meeting.
Finally, I heard His Majesty throw a royal bomb.
"It has been three days since the Prince of Yan returned to the capital. I am hosting a celebration banquet in Wuying Palace this evening. All the nobles and their wives are attending. Ziyun's maid Zhenzhen is also here. The Prince of Yan will be attending the Ministry of Revenue today. Court is dismissed."
All the ministers were shocked. Your Majesty's words revealed too much information.
Seeing His Majesty stand up, he hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I respectfully bid you farewell. Long live Your Majesty."
The Jin prince's faction left with cold faces, and those who stayed were either the royalists or the East Palace faction.
Crown Prince Rong Jinyou wore an apricot-yellow court robe with a five-clawed golden dragon pattern. The pattern of four five-clawed golden dragons was the same as that of the prince.
The crown prince and princes of this dynasty all wear the nine-chapter imperial crown. However, as the heir to the throne, the crown prince wears the same black top as the emperor.
His gentle and handsome face was full of joy for his younger brother. "Achen, you must learn well from Scholar Su in the future." He reached out and patted his shoulder.
Then he turned to Su Qiyang and said, "Master Su, thank you for taking good care of my younger brother."
Su Qiyang looked at the two brothers in front of him, holding the tablet in one hand and stroking his newly trimmed beard with the other. "Your Highness the Prince of Yan is so young and promising. I will do my best to help him."
Rong Jinchen ignored the gazes of those around him. He cupped his hands slightly and said, "Master Su, please give me your guidance."
In fact, Rong Jinchen wanted to call him father-in-law, but why was it only three days after the marriage was granted?
He really lives a life of misery...
Su Qiyang pretended not to notice the Prince of Yan's hesitant expression. He turned to the Crown Prince and said, "Your Highness, your Highness, your Highness and I will take our leave."
Rong Jinyou smiled slightly. He was indeed a man as beautiful as jade, a young man unparalleled in the world, and had the bearing of a crown prince.
"Master Su, please do as you please."
Rong Jinchen reached out and patted his second brother, the Crown Prince, on the shoulder, then followed Su Qiyang.
Rong Jinyou laughed and said to the people around him, "Let's go too. We have to do what the emperor arranged for us this morning."
The offices of the six ministries are located inside the Meridian Gate, in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
Since ancient times, the Ministry of Revenue has been in charge of all the financial levies and taxes of the Qin Dynasty, including land, household registration, taxes, grain transport, etc.
As the Minister of Revenue and Grand Secretary of the Cabinet, Su Qiyang can be said to be the emperor's most trusted confidant.
Although the Minister of Personnel had the power to promote and transfer officials throughout the country, the final decision was actually made by the emperor.
The funds for the six ministries and other institutions were all approved by the Ministry of Revenue, so the position of Minister of Revenue was very difficult to be.
Su Qiyang has been sitting firmly in the position of Minister of Revenue for ten years. He governs strictly, has a good reputation, and his abilities are indeed outstanding.
The Ministry of Revenue in this dynasty is divided into thirteen departments. Under the Minister of Revenue of the second rank are two Vice Ministers of Revenue of the third rank or so.
Listening to Su Qiyang's detailed introduction, Rong Jinchen said gently, "Thank you, father-in-law."
The words he was about to use to explain to Rong Jinchen from the bottom of his heart got stuck in his throat. Su Qiyang stared at him without saying a word.
What happened to His Royal Highness Prince Yan?
Didn’t you just call him Lord Su?
Now that you know there are no outsiders around, you might as well take advantage of the situation, right?
Rong Jinchen watched Su Qiyang silently take him to the Ministry of Revenue's office.
Not long after, he looked at the pile of account books in front of him and said, "Your Highness Prince of Yan, these are the account books of the Ministry of Revenue last year. Can you finish reading them within three days? I believe that Your Highness, such a talented and extraordinary person, can definitely do it." Su Qiyang smiled.
Rong Jinchen pursed his lips and was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, he asked, "Master Su, must it be within three days?"
Is that a bit too much?
How long will it take him to finish reading it?
I have to go back this afternoon to change clothes and pick up Qingqing to go to the palace to attend the celebration banquet!
The officials from the Ministry of Revenue hid quietly aside and watched the fight between the future father-in-law and son-in-law.
Rong Jinchen pulled the corners of his lips and looked at Su Qiyang with deep eyes, "Sir Su, I have to go pick up Qingqing and bring her to the palace this afternoon."
The implication is whether you can let me go.
Su Qiyang smiled. Although he was forty years old, he was still as tall and straight as a pine tree and was not much shorter than Rong Jinchen.
"Your Highness, His Majesty has asked me to take good care of you, and I will do my best. As for my daughter, she will naturally enter the palace with my wife when the time comes."
You've only been back in Beijing for three nights. How many times have you kidnapped my precious daughter?
Even if the current atmosphere is open, we can't see it every day!
Yesterday was even worse, I didn't get home until sunset!
How can this be possible!
Rong Jinchen was silent. He knew that he had sent Qingqing back to the Su Mansion too late last night.
But she wanted to see Wangshu Lake at dusk, so what could he do?
Qingqing's wet eyes looked at him eagerly, and it was hard for Rong Jinchen not to feel soft-hearted.
I didn't expect that my father-in-law didn't care about it yesterday.
It turned out that she was waiting for him here.
well.
Everyone in the Ministry of Revenue ate melons in silence. Their Shangshu was so brave!
His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan is His Majesty's most beloved prince!
Another glorious battle!
I heard that he is aloof and unkind. Lord Su is just a minister. Isn't this a bad thing?
But then again, their Lord Su is His Majesty's most beloved minister.
The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh and blood, and they are worried about His Majesty...
If the two of them get into a quarrel, will Your Majesty give both of them fifty lashes, or will you stand on the side of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and go back to appease Lord Su?
Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan just kept a cold face and said to Lord Su politely: "I thank my father-in-law for his thoughtful consideration for me."
After saying that, he sat down and started looking at the account book.
Everyone in the Ministry of Revenue: Holy crap!
Aren’t you angry about this?
Rong Jinchen was already holding the account book in one hand and starting to flip through it with the other.
He must go to pick up Qingqing in the afternoon. One day without seeing her feels like three years.
At worst, he can stay up late tomorrow or the day after.
Anyway, it’s not strange to not sleep for three days and three nights on the battlefield.
After all, Rong Jinchen had kidnapped the apple of someone's eye, whom he had loved for more than ten years, so he had some awareness of this.
He knew his own limitations. If he wasn't the emperor's favorite son, Su Qiyang would really have beaten him up.
After all, his father-in-law's nickname, the emperor's confidant, is not an adjective.
Su Qiyang's eyes darkened. He couldn't tell what His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan was thinking.
