The Princess of Northern Land

Chapter 378 The alternation between old and new (4)

The emperor's words completely blocked what the prince and grand master could continue to say.

"The Emperor is wise," a group of ministers shouted.

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Grand Master is also thinking about the imperial court. Although Beidi is the fiefdom of King Ling, it is better for important officials to send ministers from the imperial court to supervise." Yuan Yanzhao, the previous number one scholar, stood up and reported.

The courtiers all nodded in agreement after hearing this. Although the Northland is barren and the climate is not ideal, it is very important. The Northland is the rear barrier of the Qin Dynasty. It seems unreasonable to let Prince Ling's family become the sole leader.

The emperor frowned slightly when he heard Yuan Yanzhao's performance. "What do you think Yuan Aiqing said?"

"Your Majesty, I think what Yuan Shi said makes sense." The prince glanced at Yuan Yanzhao in approval.

"My dear friends, who do you think is better to go?" the emperor asked.

As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence.

The Northland is a bitter cold zone, and the people sent there every year are either people who have committed serious crimes or conscripts sent by the imperial court. Who is willing to let these officials who enjoy the pleasures of the imperial court go to the bitter cold to work as minor officials?

For a moment, the entire court was silent, and there was no longer any lively discussion.

The Eighth Prince smiled bitterly, this was an official of Great Qin. The emperor was greedy for pleasure, and countless beauties entered the harem every year. All the money in the treasury was spent on debauchery. The officials below followed suit, and they were all very greedy, but the emperor didn't care. Even though he had no interest in court affairs, he knew that the treasury was extremely empty.

Now, how easy is it to let these people go to the North to endure hardship?

"Dear ladies, what you just said was very lively, but why is it happening now?" The emperor's face looked very ugly.

The ministers collectively lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

"We are willing to share the emperor's worries." Just when the atmosphere was tense, someone was finally willing to stand up.

The ministers turned around and saw that it was Shao Liufeng who was the new champion.

"Weak ministers are also willing to share the emperor's worries." Yuan Yanzhao stood up.

"The humble minister is willing to share the emperor's worries." This time it was Wu Zhuangyuan Wu Jie who stood up.

The prince frowned slightly. There were three civil and military champions in the last term and this term. Why did he feel that something was wrong?

"Your Majesty, even the humble ministers are willing to share the Emperor's worries." Academician Mei Da, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, finally stood up.

"Father, why are there too many officials sent to the north? I think it's enough to send just one." The prince stood up and objected. Mei Hanqing was a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and had a great influence among the students. If he went If you go to Beidi, it will inevitably affect the young students who come later.

"Your Majesty." Mei Hanqing handed over his hand, "Wei Chen feels that the Northern Territory is vast and the area under the jurisdiction of King Ling is too wide. How can it be effective if only one or two officials are involved. Only a few people around the Emperor in the past can interact with each other. Only with support can we threaten King Ling." Mei Hanqing said. "Wei Chen is willing to go there with his family and take root in the north to share the emperor's worries."

Although the emperor was a little fatuous, he also knew Mei Hanqing's personality. This minister was very upright and had offended many officials in the court, but he had a huge influence among young students.

It's safe to use such a person. Look at the two people below, Yuan Yanzhao and Shao Liufeng, plus Wu Zhuangyuan. You are glaring at me, and I am glaring at you. It seems that no one of the three is convinced by the other. Thinking of what their spies had reported, none of these three seemed convinced of anyone else. The emperor immediately had an idea in his mind.

"Mei Aiqing is absolutely loyal, I have approved you."
