Chapter 34 The good wind and bright moon will come (5)
If everything is in love with one's own will, there will be no tragedy such as fighting for power and intrigue. Therefore, there is a word in the world called "unrequited love".
Wu Weiye didn't think it was a good thing to be a section chief at all. - Although the word "section chief" sounds domineering, it was a title that only the top leaders of each department of the Sixth Science and Technology Corridor had.
But... I am transferred to an official position, why should I become a retainer like a eunuch?
The official position of "官网" has a long history. As early as the Warring States Period, the powerful appointed their confidants as "官网" to manage their disciples. Their first work was to help the prince manage their subordinates. However, as time went by, the title and power had already changed. Now, the concubine's sons are only transferred to officials and cannot manage other subordinates under the Eastern Palace.
Not to mention having to work with a group of palace maids and eunuchs under the same roof, Wu Weiye felt like the sky fell when he thought about it.
"Son Wu, go to work before the morning of tomorrow." Zhu Cixuan said.
"Your Highness," Wu Weiye hardened his head, "My duties are in the Zhanshi Mansion, and I'm afraid I can't leave the post without permission."
"Who is in charge of the Zhan Mansion now?" asked the prince.
Wu Weiye was almost speechless when he was choked: That was your official!
Well, but after thinking about it, it was right. Many officials from the Eastern Palace had never seen what the Eastern Palace looked like.
"Your Highness, it's Young Master Xiang Yu." Wu Weiye said.
"Oh, tell him, it's my arrangement."
Wu Weiye gritted his teeth and said, "Your Highness, I am a minister of the country..."
"Well, do you want to take care of both sides?" Zhu Cixuan was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a diligent minister now.
Wu Weiye only felt the blue veins on his forehead rushing, but he was embarrassed to say discriminatory words in front of Liu Ruoyu and the female official. Although he had the superiority of a Jinshi, he thought he belonged to the "romantic and suave" faction and was not the same as those censors who raised their sleeves to fight.
"Your Highness, I have limited energy..."
"So you should take good care of this place first." Zhu Cixuan said: "There should be nothing wrong with the Zhan Shi Mansion. I have no impression of them."
"If Your Highness is a little careful when he is giving a lecture, he may still be able to have some impression." Wu Weiye couldn't help but say.
"Oh, that's it, let's talk about it." Zhu Cixuan said again: "Once you start training troops... I mean disaster relief, there will be no less work here. You should do your job here first, which is much more meaningful than if you are busy waiting to die in the Zhanshi Mansion."
——Why am I just scrambling to death in the Zhan Shi Mansion?
Wu Weiye's nose suddenly turned sour: "Your Highness, I have been serving as the Eastern Palace since the eleventh year of Chongzhen, and I have worked diligently and unremittingly..."
"Okay, OK, this matter is settled." Zhu Cixuan didn't like this sensational expression of loyalty. It was serious to work hard to do his job well. He waved Wu Weiye backed away, and said to Yao Tao: "Yao Tao, from tomorrow, your two departments will clearly list every income and expenditure in the outer residence of the East Palace, and enter the journal of the same day at the hour of Hai every day."
——The prince actually remembers my name!
Yao Tao was dizzy and stood up, but he couldn't remember what the prince said just now.
"These 5,300 taels of silver are only used to purchase items for disaster relief. They must be recorded separately and recorded in the journal." Zhu Cixuan said: "Every ten-day report is combined, and any donated money will be given one."
"Yes, Your Highness." Yao Tao did not miss a word this time, and the prince's explanation gradually emerged in his mind.
"If you want to continue to do the fundraising, you must let people know where your money is used." Zhu Cilang said bitterly: "The gentry and others think that the emperor's family is too much to eat, but they don't know that Taicang is already exhausted. Otherwise, can you watch the Lu Chou rage!"
Everyone was silent.
The Qing soldiers in the 15th year of Chongzhen entered the pass, plundering the huge population of silver and grain, and slaughtering the people, which was a major tragedy in China. The generals' unwillingness to fight was completely exposed to the world. With the Liao salary alone, the country collected 9 million taels of kilowattack, but with such a result, who would be willing to give the money?
Zhu Cilang paused and turned to Zhou Jing and said, "Five thousand three hundred taels, this is the number in the account, and the actual thing I want to see must be this number. If you dare to add private energy to the fire, or you can't control your subordinates' secretly asking for it, don't expect me to protect you."
Zhou Jing shivered and complained in his heart: It seems that he has to pay for money...
He didn't know what he had committed in the past two days, and a evil wind suddenly blew in the court, staring at him and impeached him all day long, and all kinds of strange words were all over the place. Not only did His Majesty the Emperor angry and ordered the official to come home to scold him. Even the Empress sent a close servant out, which really cursed.
If the prince hadn't kept it, he would have been dismissed from office and stayed idle long ago!
——The old eunuch looked more important than me, and he should contact him another day.
Zhou Jing looked at the unfathomable Liu Ruoyu and made a secret decision in his heart. However, he didn't know that the censor's impeachment was all the ideas that the old eunuch came up with.
Although the effect is gratifying, the prince is happy, and it is definitely not included, Zhou Jing, the person involved.
The hour of the meeting was over, and everyone who came out of the house had an indescribable mood. Unlike Zhou Jing's bitterness and Wu Weiye's frustration, Yao Tao felt quite happy. She thought that her rights and responsibilities had been taken away a lot, but she became the prince's account.
Since the palace requested to use the Eastern Palace Finance Method to keep accounts, the status of the account office has been higher than that of all other officials. Any department, as long as it dares to cheat, will be reflected in the accounts in detail. This is why Liu Gongzheng must hold the financial power in his hands.
Now that he has also mastered the financial power of the East Palace, Yao Tao is even more grateful to Aunt Liu for sending her there.
Yao Tao walked to the door and saw that the female Shi who came with her was waiting outside the door. She nodded and signaled that she could leave together. The two returned to the servant room one by one. Yao Tao distributed various accounts needed by the East Palace to people, set rules of power and responsibility, and was busy until the middle of the night before she dismissed everyone and asked them to go back to sleep.
"Yingyue, wait." Yao Tao called out to the female official who had just followed her.
"What is Si Zheng's order?" The female official always had a smile on her face, which made people feel relieved.
"When did you enter the palace?" Yao Tao asked.
"Returning to Sizheng was June of the 12th year of Chongzhen."
"It's exactly four years." Yao Tao smiled and said, "I'm two years ahead of you, so I'll say your sister won't offend you."
"You are the seventh-rank Si Zheng, the leader of the East Palace maid. If you can call you sister, it is Yingyue's blessing." Yingyue smiled sweetly.
Yao Tao couldn't help laughing: "What a good mouth. It's this. I think you do things quickly. From tomorrow on, you can follow me to do things."
"Thank you sister!" Yingyue covered her mouth gently: "Yes, Si Zheng!"
Yao Tao patted her hand gently: "It will be funny. Go and have a rest early."
"Sister, don't you go?" Yingyue widened her eyes.
"There are still errands." Yao Tao suddenly felt her cheeks hot for some reason.
Watching Yingyue go to the backyard, Yao Tao raised her hand and printed her cheeks. Then she saw a team of interior decorations coming out of the study with lanterns and walking towards the dormitory. She quickly moved over, stopped her feet after a dozen steps apart, and said, "Your Highness Rong Bing."
Zhu Cilang stopped and said, "Say."
"Your Highness, do you have to arrange someone to bed tonight?" Yao Tao said as much as possible in a formal tone.
"Sitting for bed?" Zhu Cixuan was a little surprised: "Can female officials also serve bed?"
The female officials of the Ming Dynasty were not responsible for meeting the physiological needs of His Majesty the Emperor. Although there were female officials who came to the emperor, it was very rare and would be unwilling tolerated by matters.
Yao Tao's face became even hotter, and she insisted on calming herself: "There are teachers and palace maids."
"Well." Zhu Ciyang then remembered that his mother said that he would be married next year. The reserved Crown Princess was a daughter of Ning, who seemed to be a scholarly family, but according to the Emperor Ming Dynasty, her family would definitely not be a senior official of the fifth rank or above. Zhu Ciyang had never met his fiancée, but according to the aesthetic standards of the Emperor's aunt and Queen Mother, it would definitely not be ugly.
"No need, take a break early." Zhu Cixuan refused Yao Tao indifferently and said to himself: I really look down on me. Do you need someone to teach me that kind of thing?
Teacher Cang has done enlightenment work long ago!
