Just now, the emperor said he wanted to eat grilled fish with the queen, but now he wanted to give Xu Guangqi the first fish he caught, which shows the significance and the importance he valued Xu Guangqi.

Chen Hong hurriedly bowed and said, "Don't worry, I know how to do it."

After Chen Hong left, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Empress Zhang. Seeing her smiling sweetly at her, Zhu Youxiao also smiled gently and said, "I'll catch a big one for you later."

After hearing this, Queen Zhang shook her head.

"Your Majesty cherishes his ministers, but he is a wise monarch. How could I have any thoughts because of a fish?" Queen Zhang said with a smile: "I am happy for Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao smiled and pulled Queen Zhang into his arms, and said loudly: "That won't work. You must eat grilled fish today."

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's serious and funny appearance, Queen Zhang fell into his arms with a smile.

Xu Guangqi's home.

Since returning from the cabinet duty room, Xu Guangqi's face has not looked very good.

Although he was put on a trick today, he wasn't really angry about this incident. After all, this is what he wants to do.

What he was angry about was the attitude of those people in the cabinet, and he was simply a vain of being a minister. However, he could only be angry and could not drive all of them out.

So Xu Guangqi went to the study and started writing the question book. He still had to do the main business, and this should not be delayed, and he would not be able to make things worse than those people getting angry.

But soon the old servant came into the study and came to Xu Guangqi to report: "Master, someone has come from the palace and said he has followed His Majesty's will."

Hearing this, Xu Guangqi put down the pen in his hand, stood up and walked out.

In fact, the entire Xu family is familiar with this kind of thing, because people often come to the palace, and His Majesty often gives some rewards, which basically does this way.

So if nothing unexpected happens, this time I should have been rewarded again.

After walking outside and seeing Chen Hong, Xu Guangqi hurriedly bowed and said, "Eunuch Chen."

Chen Hong naturally did not dare to neglect and bowed quickly and said, "We have met Mr. Xu."

Among the several great masters in the cabinet, Chen Hong valued the most is this Xu Guangqi and the Master Xu, because he knew how much his emperor valued this Master Xu.

The other people are not that important to the emperor, so Chen Hong has always been very polite to Xu Guangqi.

"I don't know what to do to trouble Eunuch Chen to come here in person?" Xu Guangqi asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty has rewarded me." Chen Hong said with a smile.

After saying this, Chen Hong waved to the back.

The two little eunuchs standing not far away walked over with a bucket of water, and there was also a rustling sound of water coming from inside.

Xu Guangqi was stunned. What did he reward him?

There was not much suspense, Chen Hong said directly: "Today, Your Majesty and the Queen were fishing in Xiyuan, discussing catching fish and grilling them. Unexpectedly, when he really caught fish, His Majesty remembered Mr. Xu."

"This is the first fish that Your Majesty caught today. Let us send it to Mr. Xu. His Majesty also said that Mr. Xu worked hard all day long and could not eat well or sleep well. His body was afraid of collapse, so he had to take good care of this fish. He stewed soup for Mr. Xu and asked him to replenish it well."

Chen Hong said, looking at Xu Guangqi with a smile on his face.

At this time, Xu Guangqi was really moved, and the grievances suffered in the cabinet disappeared.

This is what Your Majesty values ​​you. Just do things to Your Majesty. Those people are actually not important.

After thinking of this, Xu Guangqi quickly knelt down and said gratefully: "My minister Xu Guangqi, thank Your Majesty for the reward."

In fact, there is no need for such a reward like Xu Guangqi to have such a great gift, but that's what he did.

Because not doing this is not enough to express his gratitude.

This is not a matter of fish, it is His Majesty's attitude that is showing. With His Majesty's support, you can hold your head up and be fearless.

Chen Hong didn't expect Xu Guangqi to give such a big gift, so he quickly walked to his side, reached out to help him up, and said with a smile: "Old Master Xu's heart will be submitted to His Majesty by our family."

Xu Guangqi didn't say anything, and personally took the bucket over and took it under the eaves and placed it.

When Xu Guangqi turned around and came back, Chen Hongzheng looked at him with a smile on his face and bowed his hands and said, "The things have been delivered, and our family has also brought the words of Your Majesty. In this way, our family will say goodbye."

Xu Guangqi hurriedly said, "I'll send Eunuch Chen."

When Chen Hong returned to Xiyuan, Zhu Youxiao had already burned a fire here.

The charcoal fire was burning very vigorously, and the pickled fish had been arranged next to it. Zhu Youxiao prepared to put the fish on the charcoal fire to roast it.

Queen Zhang, on the other side, looked at Zhu Youxiao excitedly like a little girl, with admiration in her eyes.

Seeing the emperor and the queen, Chen Hong did not dare to come over to disturb him, and stood not far away and watched quietly.

In other words, everyone around was watching quietly, which made you more aware of the emperor's favor for the queen.

The palace was quiet and peaceful, but there were constant troubles outside the palace.

The incident of adding royal logos to the business account has caused quite a stir. With a question book by Xu Guangqi, this incident once again pushed it to the forefront.

Because Xu Guangqi asked the court to set up a yamen, the content of this yamen management is also very simple, that is, it is to specifically manage businessmen's cheating.

After receiving the reward from Zhu Youxiao a fish, Xu Guangqi became fierce this time.

In Xu Guangqi's words, this yamen can be managed by the Ministry of Revenue, which is specifically responsible for the fraud of merchants.

In this question book, Xu Guangqi also explained why this yamen was established.

Because many businessmen do not do cheating in their own local areas. In their own villages, they are all good people; but when they go out of the villages, they do some cheating in their own villages. At the same time, because they commit crimes across provinces, it is difficult to investigate.

Therefore, such a yamen is needed in the court. Once there are businessmen cheating, this yamen is used to investigate.

As soon as this proposal came out, it caused an uproar.

The news of this proposal was quickly spread because someone opposed the royal business of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

They believe that once those businessmen commit crimes, they will damage His Majesty's reputation. In this case, such cooperation with businessmen should not exist.

But Xu Guangqi didn't think so. He thought it was because of the choke, so he put it on such a question book. He hoped that the court could set up such a yamen to supervise merchants; once someone commits a crime, they will be arrested and severely punished.

Since he is in charge of businessmen, it is impossible for him to just stare at the Office of the Internal Affairs, so Xu Guangqi directly expanded the matter and expanded it to all businessmen.

That's why this question book caused an uproar because it included all the merchants of the Ming Dynasty.

Several cabinet masters in the cabinet looked very good, especially Sun Chengzong and others.

I originally thought that this incident would cause Xu Guangqi to suffer a loss, but I didn't expect that he was so brave that he had to do such a thing directly, and he had to put the yamen in the Ministry of Revenue.

You should know that Xu Guangqi is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which is blatantly expanding power for the Ministry of Revenue.

Once this matter is achieved, it means that the Ministry of Revenue has another yamen, and it is also a yamen that manages all businessmen.

How powerful is this yamen? As long as people who are in the officialdom are not unaware of it. Under such circumstances, who would be willing to Xu Guangqi do this?

You should know that there is only so much power in the officialdom. If you take away part of it, others will lose part of it. This is absolutely not allowed.

Of course, some people support the proposal of establishing a new yamen, which is people from the faction Xu Guangqi; at the same time, there are people who want to be promoted in the Ministry of Revenue, who want more power.

For a moment, the court had a mess of arguments last time and there was endless quarrel.

Countless question books were sent to the palace like this and placed directly in front of Zhu Youxiao.

When they couldn't make a comeback, they would naturally think of letting the emperor Zhu Youxiao make the decision.

Zhu Youxiao still likes this kind of referee role.

However, what Xu Guangqi did this time shocked Zhu Youxiao.

Unexpectedly, Xu Guangqi would come up with such an idea, which was quite advanced. Zhu Youxiao thought it was a good idea.

Of course, this yamen cannot be used to manage the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but it does not mean that it does not care about the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Although the Interior Affairs Office was Zhu Youxiao's yamen, he really didn't dare to say that he trusted them very much. You should know that the Interior Affairs Office in the Qing Dynasty was famous for its corruption in later generations.

Absolute power leads to absolute corruption. Without supervision, it will definitely not work.

Although I have established a regulatory system within the Office of the Internal Affairs, it is still not comprehensive enough and it is easy for me to supervise myself to have problems.

So Zhu Youxiao thinks that Xu Guangqi is a good idea, a killing two birds with one stone.

In this case, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be supervised by this yamen, and the yamen can also take care of other businessmen. This is a very good idea.

Once this yamen is established, a merchant management law can be formulated and all merchants can be included in it. In this way, it will be much more convenient for the court to do things.

However, there is a fierce debate outside now. Zhu Youxiao was not ready to stand up for a while, wanting to see how far the two sides can fight.

However, Zhu Youxiao guessed that Xu Guangqi would suffer a loss, after all, he was weak. Although he was a cabinet master and the Minister of Revenue, he was in office for too short and had no choice in many things. Those who supported him had not been promoted yet, so he had to suffer a loss.

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, and such a debate could not change the result at all. In fact, as long as someone supports him and is willing to do things for him, then he, as the emperor, has the final say.

In this case, you have absolute authority and can decide anything.

Zhu Youxiao is in this state now. Some people in the court are willing to do things for him, so he can decide many things.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao took over the Donglin Party after he took office; it is also the reason why Zhu Youxiao left so many parties in the court.

Because only in this way can the emperor balance all parties and then let them do what the emperor wants to do, rather than letting the ministers do what they want to do. This is crucial for an emperor.

Whether it is Xu Guangqi or anyone else, if they have all the power, they will plan and do things according to their ideas. This is common to anyone.

Zhu Youxiao will not pin his hopes on others, he just needs to make decisions on his own.

However, the yamen proposed by Xu Guangqi gave Zhu Youxiao some ideas, but he didn't know who to find a suitable person, or what kind of regulations should be built.

According to Xu Guangqi's opinion, this yamen is more like an urban management office in the future market or an industrial and commercial bureau.
