The Jinxiang Hall in the spring is bright, with the exquisitely carved window lattices and piles of desks, the green trees swaying gently in the wind add a bit of vitality and warmth to everything.
Jingniang walked through the study and saw Zuo You and other ministers looking up at her slightly, and speechless to each other. She walked in silently and came to the secret room inside.
This room was jokingly called the secret room by people in the palace because it did not have a large window and some of the emperor's personal belongings were placed.
The door was not closed, and Guo Shao seemed to be waiting for the person he was about to meet.
Jing Niang stepped into the threshold and was about to speak up when she saw him sitting in front of a pair of lock armors, and was actually wiping the armor of the armor with a handkerchief... After all, there were too many people working in the palace, so the emperor really didn't need to do such trivial matters.
Jing Niang didn't say anything about her etiquette, and she couldn't help but look at Guo Shao.
This room has only a small window, which is very high and has poor lighting.
A ray of light came in from the small window, and the light seemed to be a cloud of fog, making this quiet wooden house seem to be shrouded in a halo fog.
A large colorful map was hung on the wall, and the territory controlled by Daxun was dyed in yellow. On the table next to the picture was a wooden model of a Mulan ship presented by the Southern Han people.
In this situation, the scene of Guo Shao wiping his armor made Jing Niang suddenly feel the man's burning ambition...even in such a quiet wooden house.
Jing Niang's heart tightened, as if she was touched by something.
In fact, she didn't even have any interest in how big the territory of Daxu Dynasty was. In Jingniang's heart, the royal family's wealth had been spent and its glory and wealth reached its peak. She couldn't even understand why the emperor was so enthusiastic about expansion and enterprising!
However, the ambitious Guo Shao made her a little obsessed with her. She had no idea why. Perhaps it was his focused look and his eyes looking at the armor that had been galloping on the battlefield. Jing Niang felt a certain feeling from him.
She was not interested in what feelings she felt, and a man who really possessed such things was very interested.
Jingniang.Guo Shao turned his head to look at her, pressed the handkerchief that had just wiped the armor in his hand to his mouth, coughed gently, and stuffed it into his sleeve bag.
Only then did the girl come to her senses, her movements were a little flustered, and she hurriedly clasped her fists and said: I am hereby an edict to meet you, and I will pay my respects to Your Majesty.
Guo Shao nodded and pointed to a round waisted stool with a futon beside the table: Sit.
Jingniang then stepped forward as she said, and couldn't help but whisper: Your Majesty is not feeling well?
Guo Shao frowned slightly and said: It's just a little uncomfortable, but this is true for people. As long as there is a little discomfort in one place, it will affect the whole body, mind and mood.
At this moment, a tall and strong eunuch walked to the door. Jing Niang was always very comfortable with the eunuchs in the court and recognized it as Yang Shiliang.
I will bow to Your Majesty.Yang Shiliang kowtowed when he came in. This action made Jing Niang feel that her respect was far from enough. Some people said bad things behind their backs that she was arrogant because of her favor, and it seemed that it was not completely wrong.
Get up, get up.Guo Shao said casually.
Yang Shiliang got up and bowed and stood there. He would never dare to sit without asking him to sit. Guo Shao seemed too lazy to talk too much.
Jingniang and Yang Shiliang both stayed in this small room respectfully and remained silent for a while.
At this time, Guo Shao pondered for a moment and said: I just talked to Jing Niang about something that was uncomfortable and all over the body.The same is true for the dynasty. Once there is a problem, the entire empire will be implicated.
Yang Shiliang held up the whisk and said: Your Majesty is extremely true.
Guo Shao's eyes swept across Jing Niang's face. His expression was solemn and his eyes were full of perseverance. However, a heart that was always paying attention to him, but he saw a subtle and gentle thing in his firm eyes.
Jing Niang probably understood the reason why her heartstrings occasionally trembled. This ambitious man, a man holding the power of life and death and a violent institution, was not violent. He often showed a gentle side.
She listened to the low and low magnetic gentleness in the heavy tone:
So I want a way out to let me know what went wrong, even if it was a small problem.
Jingniang and Yang Shiliang still didn't quite understand the emperor's holy intention at this time, but they didn't rush to ask, but kept calm and listened again.
The light from the small window sprinkled on his face, and the texture of the sweat hair and the white collar were clearly visible. It seemed that the first time Jing Niang looked at Guo Shao in such a detailed look.
Guo Shao's expression was quiet, and his eyes seemed like a deep pool of water. He continued to say that the court had censors and censors of various names, but these people might not tell the truth.Because interests are involved...
He thought about it and said more specifically that the Censorate and the Privy Council may not have any powers to do with the Six Ministry, and no one can control each other. However, what if the son of a Privy Council official and the nephew of a six minister are classmates, or if two officials have a family friendship?Even when talking about some national policies, the families of civil officials and even civil officials and generals have the same interests, and then they will exhale their anger... In this world, the most difficult thing to do is human favors.
Guo Shao paused, I wanted an institution, but could not be handed over to the Privy Council for management. After thinking about it, I could only entrust it to the provincial eunuch.
Yang Shiliang asked carefully: I'm brave, what does Your Majesty want this yamen to do for Your Majesty?
Good question.Guo Shao praised it, as if he felt that the eunuch Yang Shiliang was very clear-headed. The government office could be called the "internal factory supervisor". There are many links from mining, rough refining, sea transportation, and refining to minting coins, and how many coins were minted.I must send my own people to monitor these links to avoid the loss of coins.
People must be placed in the open and the dark. After all, the eyeliner placed in the open is easy to be strictly guarded by others.The people used are not limited to eunuchs and palace ladies, and some fine undercover work can be cultivated.
Guo Shao said calmly, from minting money to the sea trade money shop, the royal treasury is the largest shareholding, and I have enough reason to send someone to supervise... Moreover, the ministers such as the Privy Council, the Political Affairs Hall, and the Cabinet Auxiliary Office also own shares in the sea trade money shop; however, they cannot interfere in these matters, so they cannot control their own profits.If I come forward to restrain control and supervise and protect the legitimate benefits of the bank, this is something that the ministers are happy to see.
He thought about what he did, and people were often willing to see what was consistent with his own interests.
Yang Shiliang nodded seriously and praised respectfully: Your Majesty is a high-level and has a good plan!
Jingniang finally couldn't help but speak: Your Majesty's implicit meaning is to monitor Shi Jianyinshan to the inner treasury and the money shop... What does that have to do with the "son of the Privy Council and the nephew of the Sixth Ministry'?
When Yang Shiliang heard such straightforward words, he couldn't help but look sideways and looked shocked.But Jingniang sat calmly on the round stool on her waist.
Sure enough, Guo Shao had no intention of blame. He seemed very cautious and was silent for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Bank Supervision" was just an entry point and a reason.The responsibilities of the "Inner Factory Supervisor" are not limited to this. Do you know what the Privy Council Military Affairs Office is doing and what methods are using?
After hearing this, Jingniang nodded as if she was pecking at the rice field. After a while, Yang Shiliang seemed to come back to his senses. This was not in accordance with etiquette, and quickly said: Go back to Your Majesty, I understand.
Guo Shao's eyes became brighter and he looked at them and said: Just do that!The difference is that your goal is not abroad, but internal!All kinds of people, places...all industries and levels.
He paused for a moment and continued: This yamen does not need to let any official office such as the Privy Council intervene, and the accounts do not need to be made public. He just needs to report to me and the provincial eunuch.
After hearing this, Jingniang accidentally discovered that Yang Shiliang's expression was extremely nervous and solemn. At this time, Jingniang also realized: The so-called internal factory supervisor is probably more dangerous and more hidden than the military commander.
Because internal struggle is often more cruel than war.
Jingniang asked: If you need to take out the news from others, can you arrest and interrogate the target?
After hearing this, Guo Shao thought for a long time before he said: The internal factory supervisor can only inquire about information and collect evidence, and has no right to torture.but……
Jingniang and Yang Shiliang both listened in a slant.
Guo Shao picked up a booklet and opened it, and said quietly: But you can install people in Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. If you need a confession, you can use the Ministry of Justice of Dali Temple to achieve your goal.If neither Dali Temple nor the Ministry of Justice can be detained, I am afraid that the internal factory supervisor will not be able to move easily.
The two of them held a ritual with a serious expression: Obey the order!
Wow, wow!Guo Shao tore off a few pages of paper from the booklet and put it on the table. I have written some ideas, you can refer to them.You will first deploy and handle other things.I have a lot of things to worry about and cannot do this in person.
Yang Shiliang said: I will do my best to share your worries for Your Majesty.
Guo Shao raised his robe sleeve and waved it gently to the outside. The two of them bowed in time and said, "I, please leave."
Jing Niang retreated to the wooden door, turned around and looked inside again when she looked around. Seeing Guo Shao pressing one hand on the map on the wall and holding a brush in the other hand, his face flashed through Jing Niang's eyes.
Perhaps the woman was careful after all, and Jing Niang accidentally noticed that there seemed to be a hint of gloom in Guo Shao's eyes.
Moreover, his actions seem to be different from before. Guo Shao was more confident in the past. He believed that he could control the overall situation. Now, what kind of internal factory supervisor is to use power techniques to assist in control?
In Jingniang's knowledge, Guo Shao's throne is more stable and has greater power and prestige. His military achievements and accumulated prestige on the throne have made his prestige reach the pinnacle... In the past, the general trend was only forced to recognize by domestic ministers, and now the emperor's martial arts have been recognized by foreign countries.
But why did he worry about it?
Jing Niang walked out of the study room. After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't figure it out. She still shook her head, her unintentional movements seemed to be about to throw her doubts behind her head.
Jingniang walked through the study and saw Zuo You and other ministers looking up at her slightly, and speechless to each other. She walked in silently and came to the secret room inside.
This room was jokingly called the secret room by people in the palace because it did not have a large window and some of the emperor's personal belongings were placed.
