Chapter 152 Shock! The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is like this!
After eating the melon of the third prince, Emperor Deyuan was not in the mood to look for any auspicious signs, and hurried back to the Golden Throne Hall to accept the kneeling worship of the court officials.
After sending away the court officials, Emperor Deyuan returned to the study.
Before the New Year's Eve banquet, as usual, Emperor Deyuan would gather his trusted ministers together to review the past and look forward to the future.
In the study, the ministers were making a year-end summary.
However, the ministers did not seem to be paying attention.
Pei Junfei, the Minister of War, winked at Pang Lianggong, the Minister of Works: You said that the third prince took pepper and garlic, does he want to cut off his hemorrhoids and take them? What does he want to replenish?
Pang Lianggong, the Minister of Works: How do I know, you might as well ask the one who drank dog milk.
The Minister of the Imperial Household had a dark face: I haven't drunk it for a long time!
Prime Minister Su Xuelin: Really? I don’t believe it!
Imperial Household Minister: “…”
Minister of Rites: You should eat what you need to replenish your body. It should be chrysanthemum.
Puff——
Emperor Deyuan: “…”
How could I have given birth to such a stupid son! He
is so stupid and vicious!
Give him a fiefdom and send him away early.
Emperor Deyuan listened absent-mindedly and asked someone to call Jian Ruonan.
After eating the melon of the third prince, Jian Ruonan sneaked back to the warm room to continue playing with the princesses. She followed Emperor Deyuan after making sure that it was Emperor Deyuan who came to call. It was
New Year’s Day and there was nothing important to do. The court officials could go to the banquet after reporting. When they saw the baby who was confiscated, their originally relaxed mood was lifted again.
After giving her the seat, Emperor Deyuan asked, "Mr. Jian, I heard that during your tenure in the Imperial Academy, you invented papermaking and movable type printing, and taught the people to read for free, which has boosted their enthusiasm for learning. You are worthy of being the first female official of Daxia appointed by me, and you have not lost face for me."
Jian Ruonan: "Your Majesty, thank you for the award."
Emperor Deyuan: "Do you have any requests when you go to the Ministry of Revenue next year?" Jian
Ruonan did have a request: "Your Majesty, can you let Hou Bianxiu and I be transferred together?"
Emperor Yuan: "Hou Bianxiu?"
Hou Wenyao, the Minister of Revenue, wiped the cold sweat from his head and said, "Hou Bianxiu is my son. My son is not talented. He won the third place in the imperial examination last year and is now an editor in the Hanlin Academy."
Emperor Deyuan: "Why did Jian Yuanwailang want Hou Bianxiu to be transferred together?"
Jian Ruonan said, "Hou Bianxiu is a man of great talent and strategy. With Hou Bianxiu here, everything can be done with half the effort."
Minister of Revenue: "..."
Are you sure you are talking about his son who is ambitious but incompetent?
[The melon dart + hexagonal warrior that we finally found, we can't lose it! ]
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
What can you guess about the melon dart, and what the hell is the hexagonal warrior.
"Okay."
Since it's the person that the little cutie wants, just give it to him.
Emperor Deyuan suddenly remembered that Hou Bianxiu was not the youngest third place in the imperial examination in Daxia.
During the palace examination, the top three papers were of similar level, but Hou Yuchen was very good-looking, so he was selected as the third place.
Thinking of that beautiful young man, Emperor Deyuan suddenly became interested: "Hou Tanhua is indeed quite talented, I wonder if he has a marriage partner?"
Several of my princesses have grown up, and the one chosen by the little cutie must be good.
He is so beautiful, and the children he gave birth to are also beautiful.
Hou Wenyao, the Minister of Revenue, was stunned.
It was obvious that Emperor Deyuan wanted his son to marry a princess.
Daxia did not have a rule that the prince consort could not participate in politics. The Hou family was a noble family. As the saying goes, the noble family is permanent, and the dynasty is changing. It doesn't matter whether the prince consort marries a princess or not.
If he can marry a princess, it will be the icing on the cake.
Hou Wenyao, the Minister of Revenue: "They are not married yet. My wife is looking for someone."
"That means there is no marriage." Emperor Deyuan was in a good mood, secretly thinking about which princess to marry. Suddenly, a voice came from his heart -
[Hou Tanhua is the brother-in-law I have my eyes on. Old Emperor, please don't make random choices! ! ! ]
[My brother-in-law Zhua!!!]
The voice was very crazy.
Jian Zhang stood in the middle and immediately broke out in a sweat.
Hou Wenyao, the Minister of Revenue: "..."
When did his son who was not in tune with the world and only cared about making money become so popular?
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
What does Zhua brother-in-law mean?
Hou Tanhua doesn't look like a Zhua?
[My mother is ready to ask someone to come to the house to ask, but my sister is so poor. She is so beautiful, dignified, generous, virtuous, elegant, and sensible...but her marriage is so bumpy. ] [
At first, she met Gao Yang, that bastard who kept three concubines. Now she finally met Hou Tanhua, but was snatched away by the old emperor! ]
[My poor sister! If she can't get married again, she will become an old maid! ] She
felt aggrieved.
Jian Zhang: "..."
Well, thank you for your publicity, now everyone knows that Xilu is an old maid.
The court officials in the front row pricked up their ears.
! !
What? !
Gao Yang kept three concubines? !
The Minister of Works Pang Lianggong looked at the Minister of War Pei Junfei: I heard that your granddaughter and Gao Yang are just engaged.
The Minister of Works was rather gloating over the misfortune.
The eldest granddaughter of the Minister of War Pei Junfei ran away with an actor, and after being caught, she was engaged to the grandson of the Minister of Works.
Fortunately, it was exposed by Yuanwailang Jian, and the Minister of Works regretted the marriage in time.
The Minister of War Pei Junfei then engaged his granddaughter to Gao Yang, the second son of the Duke of Heping, and after the engagement, she still showed off her military prowess in front of him.
Hahaha, you are so proud!
You swindler
, you've fallen this time! ! Those who swindle others will always be swindled by others! !
Minister of War Pei Junfei: "..."
That swindler of Duke Ping said that the eldest daughter of the Jian family had a serious disease and that's why he broke off the engagement. So that's what happened! !
[My brother-in-law, who I found with great difficulty, is gone just like that——]
Hou Wenyao: "..."
You are howling, if you don't know, you would think my son is dead.
[Can the old emperor do something about this? ! ]
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
"Minister Jian."
Jian Zhang: "I am here."
Emperor Deyuan: "I heard that your eldest daughter is not married, I will match you with the son of Minister Hou's family."
Jian Zhang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Minister of Revenue Hou Wenyao: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Emperor Deyuan immediately asked someone to draft an imperial decree to grant the marriage.
Jian Ruonan went from hell to heaven in a second, happy as if it was the New Year.
[Old Emperor, good job! ! ! ! You are my idol! ! ! ]
Emperor Deyuan smiled.
Oh, I'm embarrassed to suddenly become the idol of a little cutie.
After the marriage, Emperor Deyuan did not let Jian Ruonan go down, but asked her to continue sitting. He called up Bian Yingyi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, from the back row: "Bian Yingyi, what did you want to report before?" Bian
Yingyi, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was the old man who had fooled the old emperor into opening his private treasury to provide disaster relief.
Last time, An Yushi lost his manners in front of the palace, but Bian Yingyi escaped because of illness.
This time he can't run away.
The courtiers in the front row pricked up their ears and their eyes lit up: after discussing the serious business, they can finally eat melons with ease.
Bian Yingyi: "Your Majesty, the disaster is getting worse. I request that your Majesty open your private treasury and release low-priced grain for disaster relief."
"Approved."
The disaster is serious. If I don't increase the relief efforts, my people will soon be gone.
This money is considered as a loan from me to the Ministry of Revenue. When Xiao Ke'ai helps me earn money, she will return it to me.
Bian Yingyi didn't expect that your Majesty would agree so easily. He was stunned for a moment before he turned overjoyed: "Your Majesty is wise! Your Majesty's move is a blessing for the people!"
"My dear Bian has a straightforward personality and is upright."
When Emperor Deyuan praised Bian Yingyi, his eyes occasionally looked at Xiao Ke'ai.
[Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Bian Yingyi...]
Emperor Deyuan: Here it comes!
You tricked me into opening your private treasury, how can you get away with it so easily? !
Bian Yingyi: “Beep beep——” (save the surprise)
[…Wearing a red bellyband with a pattern of goose playing in water, are you afraid of having a cold stomach? ]
Front row courtiers: ! !
Oh, I can’t tell, Lord Bian, your hobbies are a bit peculiar~
[Oh, it turns out that you are not afraid of having a cold stomach, but you are planning to dress up as a woman and have a night out with the Minister of Works! ]
Bian Yingyi: “…”
Front row courtiers: Oh, Lord Bian, you really know how to have fun!!
[Oh my god, your circle is so chaotic, but Bian Yingyi is still a pure love war god, who has been under pressure to be unmarried and has always been one-on-one with the Minister of Works! ! 】
【Hey, the Minister of Works was also looking at Lord Bian with affection in the back. The two of them stood together on purpose every morning court, and hooked their fingers when no one was paying attention. How shameless! 】
【Do these court officials think the Golden Palace is a vegetable market? Someone peed in the Golden Palace before, and now someone is dating in the Golden Palace! 】
【The morning court is really exciting! 】
【If I could get up, I would want to come and see it every now and then. 】
Emperor Deyuan: "..."
Bian Yingyi looked at An Yushi. He finally understood why An Yushi failed by hitting the pillar. So this is what happened!
The guy who peed in the Golden Palace must be Old An!!!
