Chapter 272 Prince's whimsy

After the ceremony of enthroning the crown prince was carried out, His Highness of Qin officially entered the Eastern Palace and became the crown prince of the Chengde Dynasty.

At the same time, Emperor Chengde no longer involved in the government affairs and lived in Changle Palace, no longer seeing anyone. All the government affairs of the court were sent to the East Palace, and were handled by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and several prime ministers from the Shangshutai.

In the first few days, because His Highness of the King of Qin had never handled government affairs, he was relatively humble, and the affairs in the court were basically decided by several prime ministers.

If he had always had this attitude, then he might have a chance to firmly sit in the Eastern Palace.

After all, if he did not express his opinions, these ministers would not be able to guess his thoughts, and if these prime ministers were in charge of political affairs, they would not be too chaotic.

The ministers all wanted a nodding emperor.

But after the first few days passed, the crown prince began to point fingers at the government affairs.

After all, he is not the young crown prince. As the eldest son of the emperor, he is already in his thirties this year. It is unlikely that he will obey others in everything at this age, so the crown prince began to use his "strange ideas".

At this time, if he was just a prince and studied at the Shangshutai, the prime ministers would not have to pay attention to him. However, now Emperor Chengde cannot leave and clearly stated that the prince would govern the country. Then the prince was actually the true king of the Great Jin Dynasty, and what he said was equivalent to what the emperor said.

Several prime ministers had to listen.

First of all, memorials from all over the country requested disaster relief, river embankment funding, or applied for exemption from taxes due to disasters. Because it was for money, these memorials were naturally written quite tragic. After reading it, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was very moved and with a big stroke, he accurately wrote them all.

The Minister of Revenue's eyelids shook, gritted his teeth, and said nothing.

These are not bad things, so what should be accurate is naturally accurate, but it is not such a correct method.

Take disaster relief as an example. At least, people from the Censorate should send people to inspect the actual situation before making a decision. Even if the disaster is urgent, some money must be given first. After the people from the Censorate are determined, they will allocate money and food one after another.

As for things like exempting taxes, the censor must be sent to the on-site inspection before considering exempting taxes.

This is not a question of whether there is a kindness or not. If you don’t take a clear examination, you will be granted funds and exempted from tuition. Over time, local people will find this loophole and make a lot of money by reporting fake news.

However, no matter how you say these things, they are still good. In addition, under the management of the Emperor Chengde Dynasty for so many years, the treasury was still abundant, and the Ministry of Revenue could afford money.

Moreover, it is understandable that the prince supervises the country and wants to show kindness to the world. These prime ministers didn't say much and accepted it with their noses.

However, on the fifth day of the crown prince's rule, the crown prince began to read the unauthorized memorials in the Censorate, but he found another one to ask for money.

When His Highness saw that the soldiers in the army suffered heavy casualties and wrote a memorial to ask for pensions. The memorial was written in the memorial that more than 10,000 people were sacrificed in the army, but only more than 1,000 people were given a pension. The army was wailing, and the situation was quite pitiful.

However, this memorial was suppressed by the Censorate for several months and had no approval. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious after reading it.

"How can the soldiers of the border army use their lives for the country? Even their pensions can be dragged down?"

So he immediately waved his pen and criticized the memorial.

Obviously, he wanted to win over the army.

After seeing this, the preachers all had their eyes twitched.

This memorial was written by Li Shen, the general of Pingnan Army!

His Majesty did not reply to this memorial and threw it back to the Shangshutai. Naturally, the Shangshutai did not dare to do anything randomly, so he could only throw it aside and eat it ashes.

Until now, even the Pingnan Army has not continued to write a letter to ask for money, so how could it be approved for this memorial?

Could this prince really not understand the court at all?

At this time, Huan Chu, the minister of the Menxia Province, was also working with the prime ministers in the East Palace Hui. Seeing this, he couldn't bear it anymore. He stood up from his position.

"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, this memorial was brought back to the Shangshutai by His Majesty. Isn't it appropriate to be accurate?"

His Royal Highness blinked and asked, "Did Father have this memorial?"

Huan Xiang gritted his teeth secretly.

How could the emperor expressly reject such memorials that require pension? If you fight back to the Shangshutai, you will have already decided!

He said in a muffled voice: "No."

His Highness the Crown Prince smiled.

"Since my father has never refused, then there is no problem if he is alone?"

Huan Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Your Highness, political affairs are not as simple as you think. You can do it well by nodding and shaking your head. The old minister suggested that your Highness watch a few more months and then do your business..."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced at Huan Chu with some displeasure.

This old man publicly opposed himself as the crown prince in Changle Palace a few days ago. Now he is in charge of his own administration and he sang against him in the East Palace, which is really annoying.

"Xiang Huan, Gu is going to do this. If you don't agree, you will leave the Eastern Palace and return to the gate to the province!"

The minister of the ministry is the chief of the ministry. The minister of the ministry is in charge of the emperor's orders, courtesy and courtesy, and all the affairs of the country. He is a real prime minister with the Secretary of the Secretariat and the General Secretary of the Secretariat. Even if Emperor Chengde has any problems on weekdays, he still has to discuss with Huan Chu and others. At this time, the crown prince actually wants Huan Chu to leave the Eastern Palace!

Huan Chu looked embarrassed. He asked the prince to study for another few months, out of his kindness, and now he is going to be driven out by the prince?

He groaned, stood up, bowed to the Shangshu Zuo Pushe Zhang Qu: "Zhang Xiang, the lower official is sick, I will take you a leave of absence for a few days!"

Zhang Qu is Haoran Gong, now the head of the court civil servants. He shook his head, stood up from the chair, pulled Huan Chu's sleeve and walked out.

"Why are Brother Huan so irritable? The prince is in charge of state affairs for the first time, and it is inevitable that he will have a new official. Just let him go, there is no need to argue for right or wrong..."

Huan Xiang and Zhang Qu walked side by side, shook their heads and sighed: "Haoran Gong, I am so old, how could I have any more strife with young people? What I just advised was entirely for the prince and for the sake of the great Jin!"

Zhang Qu said in a deep voice: "Why did Brother Huan say this?"

Huan Chu sneered: "In the eyes of Mr. Haoran, can this prince be firmly in the position of the prince if he continues like this?"

Zhang Qu frowned: "This is the prince personally conferred by His Majesty. How can he not sit steadily?"

"He has no foundation, no reputation, and now he is so unvirtuous. If he continues like this, the court will be in chaos for at most three months!"

"When I was in Changle Palace, the reason why I spoke at the risk of offending the crown prince was that I didn't want to see this happen. Now the crown prince can be weak in his mental state and re-cultivate his virtues. With this crown prince's title, no one can move him and he can succeed in the future. However, the crown prince is so ruthless now. In my opinion, the capital is in chaos!"

Haoran Gong frowned slightly.

"Your Majesty should be able to think about these things. Since Your Majesty is interested in the prince, nothing should happen..."

Huan Chu took a deep breath and looked towards Changle Palace.

"Haoran Gong, say something very disrespectful."

"The current scene...is probably..."

"Forget it, I won't say it anymore. I'm not feeling well and I'm going to take a leave!"
