Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

At this time, Fan Puchang and Xue Wenyu looked at Brother Hui together, with some worry in their eyes.

Shi Ran, before this, I had told my children that the things they would face after ascending the throne might be very severe, but when this moment really came, they felt even more stressed.

You know, the empty treasury would probably be a headache for even Zhou Zhian.

Brother Hui officially ascended the throne yesterday and today is his first day in court.

"My dear Shui, I already know about the empty treasury. Let me tell you about the specific solution." Brother Hui said calmly.

When everyone in the court heard the new emperor's response, they were impressed at first. He responded so calmly!

However, after admiring him, I also wondered, could it be that the emperor had been with Prince Xue for a long time, and his grandfather had not taught him that when there were difficult issues in the court, the emperor would usually throw the problems to the ministers for discussion?

They actually told him to think about it for a while. The treasury is empty. Can it be solved by just thinking about it?

Or maybe, when the emperor said to think about it, he meant to delay for a while and go back to discuss countermeasures with Prince Xue, now Duke Xue?

"Okay, who else has a book to play? Go ahead." Brother Hui ignored everyone's expressions and spoke again in a very calm voice.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Dozens of ministers have been lost in the court. It would be inappropriate if we don't quickly select people to fill their places." Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Qiu Fuxing stepped forward and reported.

Brother Hui nodded when he heard this. "Ai, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Ain has decided to issue an imperial edict to publicly recruit talents. The three dukes, nine ministers and state ministers will recommend outstanding talents that they have discovered or that have been evaluated by their fellow villagers to the court. After assessment, the best ones will be awarded official positions.

I wonder what you think, my dear ministers?"

Ah? So? When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other in surprise, yet felt it was reasonable.

Throughout the dynasties, there were generally two ways for the court to select officials: the recommendation system and the recruitment system.

What the new emperor just mentioned is the first type of so-called recommendation. The other type is called recruitment, which means that the emperor issued an edict to recruit more prestigious people in the country to participate in politics. Most of those summoned are respected and well-educated people, like Fan Puchang.

The system of recommendation was a relatively progressive system of selecting officials. The king openly and on a large scale recommended talented people and selected officials across the country. At the same time, he also adopted appropriate methods to examine those talented people and recruited the best ones.

The emperor decided on the recommendation system on the spot. What does this mean? It only means that the new emperor had already considered this matter. Or perhaps it can be said that Fan Puchang and Xue Wenyu had already given him guidance.

"Your Majesty is wise and I have no objection." Qiu Fuxing responded respectfully.

"Your Majesty is wise and we have no objection." The other ministers echoed him. It seemed that their plan to take advantage of the opportunity to recommend their own people to the position would not work.

The first thing the emperor did at the morning court was to give him time to think about it, and the second thing he did was to make a decision immediately.

The emperor did not show any nervousness in his responses to the two questions in a row. He did not even glance at Fan Puchang and Duke Xue. He just made the decision on his own!

With these two ministers taking the lead, the other ministers no longer had so many concerns and submitted their reports one after another.

Sitting on Brother Hui's lower left is his uncle Fan Weiting, who is now also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy and is responsible for recording morning court events.

It records the date of today, which minister reported what, and the emperor's instructions.

As Fan Weiting recorded, he became more and more shocked.

I've long known how capable my nephew is, but I didn't expect him to be so calm and composed.

He handled the problem very calmly and without any panic. Most importantly, this nephew rarely brought issues to the ministers for discussion, and almost all the decisions were made by himself.

Even if I occasionally asked for other people's advice, I didn't adopt all of it.

However, whenever he made a decision, even if some ministers disagreed, no one stood up to express opposition.

It’s the first day, so take it easy!

What Brother Hui didn't know was that although these ministers did not believe in him, the little emperor, they were all very conflicted in their hearts.

On the other hand, they also hope that there will be an emperor in the palace, no matter if he is a wise ruler or a foolish ruler, at least the government affairs of Yan State can be considered normal.

Otherwise, for example, if the previous emperor suddenly disappeared and the throne was vacant for more than half a year, although there was no major chaos in the court and no one in the country started a rebellion, there would still be chaos in the end.

They don't care whether the people live in peace or not. What they worry about is that if things go on like that for a long time, their own official positions and lives will be in jeopardy.

It’s just like the selection of a new monarch this time. Everyone has chosen a master they think is suitable and wants to support him.

However, in the open and covert struggles among these candidates for the new monarch, it is actually these supporters who are sacrificed and suffer.

If you are lucky enough to survive and support a candidate who gets elected, then you will have a bright future.

Of course, we also have to be on guard against the possibility that the new emperor will destroy our bridges after ascending the throne.

Those who are unlucky will just be cannon fodder in the internal struggles of the royal family.

However, who could have thought that after so many choices, the one who finally took the top position would be the youngest and most unlikely one.

Can this emperor sit on the throne for long?

Or, should I consider paving the way for the future and serve obediently as soon as possible, so that if Duke Xue really comes to power in the future, he can keep me?

On the first morning of the court, Brother Hui managed to respond calmly, while some civil and military officials were indecisive and couldn't make up their minds.

After retiring from court, Brother Hui did not go to the imperial study to rest, but went straight back to the Yangxin Palace.

"Dad, how did I perform today?" Brother Hui asked in a low voice halfway through the journey.

"Very good." Xue Wenyu praised sincerely.

After returning to the Palace of Tranquil Longevity, Yadan immediately pointed towards the kitchen.

Brother Hui and his father went straight into the kitchen and saw the man busy at the stove.

"You're back. Just sit there and wait. Everything will be fine." Mu Yingbao looked back at the expressions of the father and son, and judged that today should go smoothly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

The father and son did not sit down, but greeted her and went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Although the morning court session is very early and people go there before daybreak, government affairs are only handled in the morning and there are usually no special matters. The afternoon is for entertainment and rest.

Of course, the diligent emperor would review memorials sent from various places in the afternoon.

Therefore, the father and son thought that since they didn't have to go to court in the afternoon, they might as well change their robes and feel more comfortable.

After changing into my robe and entering the kitchen, I saw Yadan had already started serving dishes to the table.

"Mother, I have something to discuss with you and father." As soon as Brother Hui opened his mouth, Xue Wenyu knew that he must be referring to the empty national treasury.

Xue Wenyu wanted to talk to this kid, why did he consult her on all kinds of issues? She was very capable, but the father and son did not sit down. Instead, they greeted her and went back to their rooms to change their clothes.

Xue Wenyu wanted to talk about this child. Why did he consult her on all kinds of issues? She was very capable, but the empty treasury was a headache for the emperors of all dynasties, and the ministers were helpless. Why did he consult her on such a problem?
