The morning court time is coming soon.

Under the steps of Fengtian Hall, more than 100 important civil and military officials who need to attend court every day have basically arrived, with low voices everywhere, and occasionally laughter sounds.

Unlike when the imperial court was rebuilt, civil and military officials were no longer so distinct. They should speak and talk, and they should talk, and they should talk, and they should talk, and they should talk, which seemed very harmonious.

It has been more than a month since Wu Xukuan died. In this month, officials of the fourth rank and above have changed almost every day, and today, they have almost been "definitely".

These people will be officials of the dynasty for a long time in the future, and no one will deliberately break the relationship. Although political enemies exist, the relationship between the major giants in the dynasty is not bad at present, and the lower level dare not act rashly.

The most important thing is that the mountain that pressed on everyone's heads has disappeared for a long time, so everyone is relaxed.

The mountain is naturally not the empress.

But Zhou An, the chief supervisor of the inner corps.

Zhou An's hands were too long, or Dongchang's hands were too long, which made many old ministers who came back very uncomfortable. Although Kang Longji was still attacked as a eunuch party when he was alive, in fact, Kang Longji rarely interfered in matters that had nothing to do with the inner court.

At most, it is to compete with the cabinet, and it is inevitable that it has the right to criticize the winner.

But Zhou An is different.

The existence of the East Factory can be said to have made everyone in the court's civil and military affairs. The secret detective originally had the right to supervise the world, but the secret detective commander was just a third-rank official and would be subject to checks and balances between the Censorate and the Ministry of Justice. The big bosses in the court did not take the secret detective seriously at all.

But now Dongchang is another matter.

The only one who can manage the East Factory is directly controlled by the main and the main control and balances is beyond all the yamen.

But the right to monitor the world has not changed.

The longer the time is, the more uncomfortable it is, and because Zhou An's power tentacles have spread throughout the government and the public, this has really revived the eunuch party.

For example, Yuan Shengshi was considered a member of the eunuch party.

This guy is still unable to move, and his status is extraordinary!

Fortunately, Yuan Shengshi only protected the East Factory, but he did not fight back. He has such a personality, so the big bosses in the court have a bad impression of him.

The so-called long-term preservation will lead to failure.

Several old officials who insisted on losing the East Factory firmly believed that Yuan Sheng would not be able to protect the East Factory for long.

Although the people stood loose under the steps, they could be roughly divided into four groups.

The group of military generals headed by the Grand Marshal of the Zhongzhou Army, the group of civil servants headed by the cabinet chief Jia Linbo, the group of censors headed by Tian Wenwei, the group of eunuchsung party headed by Yuan Shengshi.

This is generally the case, but in fact, the group they are in is not divided according to their status and position.

They are related to each other, and some even have multiple identities.

For example, the Ministry of Justice and the Censorate are now wearing pairs of pants, and Jia Linbo is the leader of civil servants. In theory, civil servants are all his people, but some of them don’t listen to him.

"Gei Master, the senior official will hand in the letter today... If you can support one or two, the senior official will be grateful!" Tian Wenwei was whispering to Jia Linbo.

Jia Linbo glanced at Tian Wenwei and said lightly: "Since you have made up your mind, I will no longer advise you. This matter... needs to be decided by the emperor."

On the other side.

Master Yuan Sheng was talking to Li Guangshan, but what the two of them were talking about was not the affairs in the court, but the martial arts.

It was because I was close to the station and I said a few gossips.

Master Yuan Sheng is a dull man, and he doesn't come to court every day, so he only comes to have nothing to do. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is not good at speaking.

Li Guangshan would say that, but because he made too much money before, he now holds the military power of Zhongzhou, and he dare not get too close to anyone, especially Jia Linbo, Yuan Shengshi and others, it is a taboo to get closer.

Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!

The bell to go to court has rang.

The steps quickly became quiet. The civil and military officials with messy standing quickly moved and stood left and right. They were all in Li Guangshan and Jia Linbo, Yuan Shengshi was the second person behind Li Guangshan.

He is stronger than Li Guangshan and has great potential, but his current status is still not as good as Li Guangshan.

Go up the steps and enter the hall.

In the hall, the empress was already sitting on the high platform, standing next to her with the eunuch Liao Fu, the eunuch of the Inner Court's Lecture Supervisor.

"Go to court!"

"See the Lord, long live my emperor!"

"The Lords are calm."

"If you have something to report, you will leave the court without a foundation!"

After the custom of going to court, Li Guangshan first stepped out and bowed and said, "The old minister has a memorial..."

Li Guangshan is talking about military expenditure.

He has almost started fighting with the Ministry of Revenue in the past few days. He knew that the Ministry of Revenue had money and confiscated Wu Xukuan's house. He had not spent the money yet, but he just refused to give it to him.

In fact, the Ministry of Revenue is not blamed for this matter, because Li Guangshan was overspending, and the Zhongzhou Army was expanding its enrollment to prepare for a possible war. The Ministry of Revenue has given Li Guangshan nearly 6 million taels of silver.

Six million taels have not been spent, but the budget is not enough.

On the one hand, it was the cost of building a new military camp. On the other hand, Li Guangshan wanted to rebuild the cavalry because there were not enough horses and they needed to be purchased. The price of a good horse was more than 100 taels of silver.

Li Guangshan wants to buy 30,000 pieces!

The Ministry of Revenue and Li Guangshan have been in front of the empress for several days.

Li Guangshan loved soldiers like his son, so he wanted everything good, which made it difficult for the empress to support him unconditionally. After all, the imperial court now has to spend too much on military expenditures to suppress rebellions in various places.

"Li Shuai, do you still dare to ask for money? I know that the expansion of the army is of great importance, but you haven't explained the account of the six million taels clearly..."

As soon as Li Guangshan finished his complaint, the new Minister of Revenue Yuan Wenxun jumped out. This was also an old minister who made a comeback. He was an official in the same dynasty as Li Guangshan decades ago, so he was not afraid of him!

The two started to squirt.

The empress couldn't bear to listen at all and asked the Ministry of Revenue to allocate another 3 million taels to Li Guangshan. Yuan Wenxun immediately complained to the empress, saying that the money was not enough, and the Yuezhou was consuming money... In the end, he tried to persuade him and gave him two million taels!

Forget this matter, the Minister of War took the lead and reported on the rebellion in various places. He also discussed the rebellion of Wu Chonglie.

Wu Chonglie was originally the commander of the Sazhou Guard. At the beginning of the rebellion, he controlled the entire Sazhou area. The empress dispatched troops from four surrounding states to besiege Wu Chonglie, and is still in battle.

After an hour of morning court.

The Minister of Works has also filed a complaint with the empress and asked the Ministry of Revenue for money... What he wanted was the money for the river construction. The south suffered years of flooding, and the situation this year has been much better, but it is hard to say whether the dam will burst.

The Minister of Works means to repair and strengthen it to ensure that there is no accident.

Yuan Wenxun blasted the Minister of Works, saying that he was wasting money from the court. This year's spring rain was 50% less than in previous years, and the possibility of another flood was not high...

This time the empress stood on Yuan Wenxun's side.

"But there is something else?" The empress asked when the two of them retreated.

If nothing happens, Liao Fu will announce as usual, "If you have something to report, you will leave the court without anything to do", and then he will leave the court.

"Master, old minister, I have a memorial!" But the fourth person behind Jia Linbo, an old minister with a goatee walked out.

This person is the left censor of the Censorate and Tian Wenwei!

"What's your fault?" The empress asked when she saw Tian Wenwei dragging her hands.
Chapter completed!
