You'd better listen carefully, how I cleaned up the mess for Daxia, and even for the previous dynasty!
Lian Hang didn't know if it was his own illusion, he felt that after Xu Lang finished listening to his words, when he turned around and looked at Jieyu Teahouse again, there seemed to be a light in his eyes.
Xu Yanmiao turned around and looked at Lian Hang expectantly: "Lian Lang! I'm very curious about the inside of the teahouse!"
Lian Hang understood: "Let's go! Take a look!"
He had never been curious, so he only knew roughly that there was such a teahouse, and knew nothing else.
The two of them walked to the door and were stopped.
The four masters who returned to secular life lined up in two rows, two of them wore strong clothes with bulging muscles, and two of them wore Confucian robes, with delicate looks and gentle temperaments.
- The main focus is to quickly and accurately catch the eyes of passing young girls, young wives, and noble ladies. Try not to lose customers because of a single image.
At this moment, a master who returned to secular life smiled and said, "This gentleman, this teahouse only accepts female guests."
[Wow! Precise customer base! ]
Xu Yanmiao regretted but respected.
"Then we..." He turned to Lian Hang and said halfway, and saw the Jinyiwei wearing flying fish clothes walking not far away. He quickly stepped aside.
The Jinyiwei rushed straight to the teahouse. Just when the four masters who returned to secular life asked cautiously, "Does this gentleman want to..." and were worried about whether they would stop or not if the other party insisted on intruding, the Jinyiwei was also very polite: "Please tell everyone to ask Her Royal Highness Princess Qinghe to move out of the building. There is something important."
——Princess Qinghe came in her real name.
Someone entered the teahouse. After a while, Princess Qinghe appeared at the door of the teahouse and asked with a fake smile: "What's the matter?"
The Jinyiwei led the person aside and whispered a few words. Princess Qinghe's dissatisfaction with being disturbed instantly turned into worry, and her brows frowned.
She came back and told the teahouse staff to treat the distinguished guests she brought with her well, and asked them to tell them that she had something to do at home and left first.
Before leaving, Princess Qinghe saw Xu Yanmiao standing aside and watching curiously. She roughly estimated his weight in her heart and raised her voice: "Xu Lang, follow me into the palace! There is something important!"
*
Xu Yanmiao got into the princess' carriage, and the carriage went to the palace at the fastest speed.
Xu Yanmiao also learned the situation in the carriage: "Your Majesty is ill?!"
Princess Qinghe, who was sitting on the right side of the carriage, frowned slightly: "Yes. He said he suddenly fell down and now he is lying on the bed and can't get up."
Xu Yanmiao asked hesitantly: "But your Majesty summoned me?"
"No!" Princess Qinghe leaned lazily against the carriage and smiled charmingly: "I just guessed that my father might want to see all his relatives at this time."
Xu Yanmiao: "?"
The Jinyiwei outside: "..."
It turns out that in addition to the King of Tang, Princess, you also guessed that Xu Lang is the illegitimate son of your Majesty?
Then your highness, you guessed wrong.
- Whether it is the guess of the illegitimate son or the guess that your Majesty wants to see Xu Lang.
＊
When the old emperor saw Xu Yanmiao, he frowned: "Why are you here?"
Xu Yanmiao: "Your Highness said that His Majesty is ill, and I am worried about His Majesty. Fortunately, Princess Qinghe was kind enough to give me a ride."
The old emperor secretly glared at the concubine who made things worse.
I wonder if he is too late to hide from Xu Yanmiao now! You are so good, you just bring the person in front of you!
After glaring, he looked at Xu Yanmiao: "Okay, I have nothing to do. Now that you have finished reading, you can leave. If you care about me, go and review those nonsense memorials."
Review memorials? !
Princess Qinghe sneered at the side.
That's it, and you still say he is not a illegitimate child.
After hearing what the old emperor said, Xu Yanmiao could only bow and leave: "Then I will go to Wuying Hall."
By the way, he glanced around and found that it was not only him who came to visit the emperor. Several prime ministers and ministers were there. There were also some second- and third-rank officials. Today was a day off, and these people had been discussing matters in Wuying Hall before. Officials who were not in the discussion did not know that the emperor was ill.
——The old emperor was afraid that Xu Yanmiao would know, so he deliberately blocked the news.
[But it's strange, is it because he is the emperor now, he is still full of energy even though he is sick? He doesn't look sick at all! ]
[Let me see...]
[Oh! I thought it was a cold and fever or something, but it turned out that he sprained his waist. ]
[It seems to be quite serious, and his waist can't bend down? ! ]
[Fortunately, fortunately, the imperial physician said it can be cured. 】
When Xu Yanmiao left the room, she could still hear the old emperor talking to Princess Qinghe in a particularly loud voice: "Well! When people get old, their bones become soft, and their waists are prone to problems! It's okay! What can happen to me - Oh, by the way, go and see Xu Yanmiao off. Since you brought him here, send him to Wuying Palace. Go quickly, so that he won't get sick."
【The old emperor really loves his daughter. He is still thinking about the illness at this time. 】
The old emperor was about to push: "Go quickly! Qinghe."
【I don't know if the Bagua system can find the root of the disease. I looked it up. Although the imperial physician said it can be cured, who knows if it will be painful in the process. 】
【The old emperor is almost seventy years old. What kind of suffering can he endure? 】
The old emperor sat up with a "squeak" and lay down again with a "hiss".
The Empress Dou, who was also nearly 70 years old, didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't bother yourself, it won't hurt to be criticized."
The old emperor's eyes were filled with tears: "Sister, you don't understand..."
[Huh? The old emperor's backache is caused by sleeping with the former Minister of Revenue? ]
The old emperor: "..."
Empress Dou: "..."
The officials who were visiting the patient almost twisted their waists.
What do you mean by sleeping? !
A 66-year-old man surnamed Gao felt the shocked look of his first wife and felt very sad: "Sister, believe me, I just slept normally with Jin Ke last night."
Empress Dou: "..."
In fact, she was just shocked why she had a backache just by sleeping. She never thought about other things.
How could she not notice that her husband's thoughts were different from before, and very strange.
——Who would doubt that a 66-year-old man would make love with a 64-year-old man!
...No one should doubt it?
Empress Dou glanced at the prime ministers and ministers who had abnormal expressions, and began to doubt her own judgment.
It's not that they really believed it...right?
The left and right prime ministers and several ministers noticed the queen's gaze, and felt a little itchy in their throats for a while, and they wanted to cough a few times.
＊
And a certain culprit who caused all this is still enthusiastically honing the acceptance of the monarchs and ministers of Daxia: [Wow! Swear to the sky! Sweet words! Sleeping with feet touching! The highest standard of treatment for a feudal emperor! 】
【Minister Yuan was so moved——】
The other ministers looked at Minister Yuan in shock.
"You're so good!"
This time, His Majesty actually asked the person to go back so quickly. All in all, it's been less than five months!
The shortest time before was half a year!
Minister Yuan smiled.
【Then when he slept with his feet together at night, he had a bad sleeping posture and kicked the old emperor on the waist hahahahahahahaha!"
Yuan Shangshu smiled awkwardly.
The old emperor also smiled awkwardly.
The two looked at each other, and they didn't know how this incident would be recorded in the daily records!
The good story of the monarch and his ministers reconciled and sleeping together hand in hand has now been turned into "the minister kicked the emperor on the waist". Is this unreasonable!
The history books of their Great Xia are already unreadable, and now even the daily records are starting to have problems!
【Wait a minute! 】
【Although Minister Yuan was moved by the old emperor's humble attitude, he was also angry, so did he kick the emperor's waist on purpose? ! 】
【He knew that he had a bad sleeping posture, but deliberately didn't tell the old emperor! 】
【666! 】
Xu Lang was shocked and amazed.
How deep must his relationship with the old emperor be to dare to be so pretentious!
The old emperor just felt dizzy.
It's over, even "the minister put his foot on the emperor's waist" is not enough! It should be changed to: The emperor apologized to the minister by sleeping with his feet against his waist, but the minister was dissatisfied in his heart, so he deliberately concealed his bad sleeping posture.
What a good story between the emperor and his ministers!
Under the weird gazes of his colleagues, Minister Yuan silently turned his eyes away and admired the five-clawed golden dragon on the pillar.
As for Empress Dou, it can be said that this was the first time she faced such a sudden turn of events, and she almost couldn't keep the steady smile on her face.
[Eh? Why did the old emperor ask Minister Yuan to return to the Ministry of Revenue? ]
Others: Is there any need to guess? It must be because the treasury doesn't have enough money.
[Oh no! There is a problem with the treasury's money, and there is no money to turn around! ]
Others: Look, let's say...
[Oh oh! The old emperor designated Yunnan as the first place in the south to pay taxes in silver, mainly because Yunnan is far away, and every time the tax grain is transported, at least one-third of it will be consumed! ]
[The summer tax cannot be caught up, and Yunnan's first payment of taxes in silver will be when the autumn tax is paid. ]
[Therefore, before paying the autumn tax, the old emperor sent people to collect copper coins from the people of Yunnan with silver, so that they would have silver to pay taxes in the future. ]
[But the copper coins in Yunnan were too chaotic, and the people in charge of collecting them suffered a lot of losses, resulting in the silver expenditure being at least 30% more than the original expenditure. ]
[Hiss! So much! Wasn’t it really embezzled? ]
The old emperor’s eyes lit up and he stood up in shock.
Although he sent the Jinyiwei to check and found no embezzlement, it was really because of the chaos in the currency system, but, what if the Jinyiwei didn’t find it out!
[Let me see...]
The old emperor: Yes, yes, yes! You must take a closer look!
[It was indeed not embezzled. 】
【Yunnan...or the currency system of the whole country is indeed very chaotic. 】
The former Minister of Revenue suddenly sneered, without any concealment.
The left prime minister asked cautiously: "Minister Yuan, are you...okay?"
The expression on the face of the former Minister of Revenue gradually became grim: "I'm fine."
You'd better listen carefully to how I clean up the mess for Daxia and even the previous dynasty! Do
you think it's easy to be a Minister of Revenue, and you only need to manage money!
Do you know that according to Xiao Bai Ze, the previous dynasty directly collapsed the financial system!
Do you know that it took me more than 30 years to barely make the national economy look decent!
