Chapter 997 Leaving

Xue Han explained, "Mr. Li, the Minister of War."

Li shut her mouth, so her dream of raising a puppy was out of the question. She could only get it by relying on her father-in-law's face. She looked at her mother-in-law with envy. She thought her father-in-law still doted on her mother-in-law even at such an old age. She couldn't help but glare at her husband!

Boss Zhou felt his wife's glare and thought to himself, Dad has money in his pocket but he doesn't. His wife envied him for preparing a bouquet of flowers for her, so he also prepared one, but even though it was a field of wild flowers all over the mountains, his wife still rejected it.

He also wanted to plant the flowers in the garden, but he didn't dare to, mainly because he had no money.

Boss Zhou stared at the puppy in the mother's arms. He couldn't get a puppy of this breed. Ahem, he didn't have any money. However, he could get a puppy to guard the house. He estimated that he would be beaten if he brought it back. He felt that his life was really difficult!

Mrs. Zhao also wanted to raise a child. She didn’t feel lonely raising a young lady before. But now the little girl disappeared in the morning and she couldn’t leave the house often. She missed her husband. “Mother, Mrs. Hu said that Mr. Gu has been extended to the ancestral tree. Liufeng is already a branch of Mr. Gu.”

Zhulan saw her granddaughters still staring at the puppy, smiled, and handed the puppy to Yushuang, "You guys go play in the inner room."

After the granddaughters left, Zhu Lan said, "Master Gu is really anxious."

Even though people couldn't leave the capital, they still got the job done.

Su Xuan continued, "If Hu was not still alive, Master Gu would have wanted to take Liu Feng over to his family."

Zhao thought to herself, fortunately Hu was here. The more she knew Hu, the more confident she would be about her daughter's future marriage. But Ding was a mother-in-law who could manipulate her daughter-in-law and was very scheming.

In the Ministry of Rites, Wu Ming was holding the old priest records in his arms. Gu Zhuomin stepped forward to help, but he was wondering in his heart when these days of being bullied would end.

Gu Zhuomin looked at Wu Ming with admiration. Wu Ming was the one who was bullied the most. Even when he was scolded, he remained calm. He couldn't do that at Wu Ming's age. "Is the Minister still not satisfied?"

Wu Ming, "Yeah."

Gu Zhuomin frowned, "Aren't you leaving very late again today?"

Wu Ming smiled. He couldn't say that he hadn't changed at all and that he was just pretending to stay late. The Shangshu thought that he was being made difficult by the vice minister. In fact, every time the vice minister refuted, he would write some news to him.

Gu Zhuomin patted Wu Ming on the shoulder and said, "If I had your mentality at the beginning, I wouldn't have done that. Forget it, it's all over."

Wu Ming wanted to say that even if Gu Zhuomin had his mentality, it would be useless without someone to protect him. He could only be where he is today thanks to the protection of his godfather. Without his godfather, he would not be able to collect dowry for his sister or betrothal gifts for his brothers, and it is hard to say whether the Wu family can be safe.

Gu Zhuomin thought for a moment and continued, "Liu Feng has already passed on to my branch. From now on, he will be my nephew."

Wu Ming raised his head and said, "Congratulations, your wish has come true."

Gu Zhuomin was somewhat embarrassed, his thoughts were too obvious, the future of Liu Feng depended on their branch, and he had to do the same for the sake of his sons and grandsons.

The next day, in the government hall, Zhou Shuren listened to the scholars discussing the development of the next few years. He kept rolling his eyes in his heart. It was really unrealistic, and they were not afraid of making a fuss. "

The emperor asked Xiao Qing, "What do you think, my dear?"

Xiao Qing listened very seriously at first, but then he stopped paying attention. "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue has no money."

He didn't refute it and just started crying.

Mr. Ding did his homework. "The Ministry of Revenue's taxes are increasing year by year. Mr. Xiao, how can the Ministry of Revenue be out of money?"

Xiao Qing directly retorted, "Master Ding, you only see the money coming in, but have you seen the money spent? Building a navy, ships, and researching technology, have you considered it? If Master Ding has the ability to solve these money issues, I will support whatever Master Ding says."

Lord Ding blushed. He had no such ability. "Lord Xiao, I am not an official of the Ministry of Revenue."

Xiao Qing said with disdain, "Your Excellency knows that he is not an official of the Ministry of Revenue!"

Zhou Shuren thought to himself that it was a good retort, it was easy for him to talk without any hesitation, bah, couldn't he be a little more pragmatic?

Lord Ding was furious, "Your Majesty."

The emperor was tired of listening. He was a pragmatic person. When chatting with Zhou Shuren, the old fox was cunning, but some of his words could give him some enlightenment. If it weren't for the purpose of restraining the six ministries, he would not want to listen today. He raised his hand and signaled, "Let's stop here today."

Lord Ding opened his mouth, his brows furrowed particularly deeply. Several scholars looked at each other and had no choice but to retreat.

Zhou Shuren and Lord Xiao walked together. Xiao Qing was still in a good mood. Before the lords left the palace, she met several princes who had entered the palace.

Before Zhou Shuren turned his head, Xiao Qing coughed and said, "It's getting late. There are still a lot of things waiting for us at the Ministry of Revenue."

Zhou Shuren was wronged, he just wanted to see whether Zhang Yang's legs were completely healed or not, he really didn't want to watch a show!

Zhengdian, the Emperor did not intend to let the Crown Prince be in charge of building the garden all the time. He just waited for a few days and no one applied. This son has learned his lesson. This time, he really did not want to cheat his sons of their money. He just wanted to find something for his sons to do. Unfortunately, his sons did not believe him!

The princes of Qi stood there and listened to their father's words. None of them said a word, as the bloody lesson was still vivid in their minds.

Prince Qi did have some money, but after the Chen family kept getting into trouble, he had to save it for the future.

The King of Chu really had no money, and the Qi family could no longer supply him with money, so he had to spend his money carefully.

The King of Liang had no money either, and he spent almost all of it on building up momentum, bribery, and supporting his subordinates.

Zhang Yang did have money, but the counselor beside him was right: he did not make much contribution to the construction of the garden.

The emperor put the book heavily on the table and said, "Since no one is talking, I will give it to the four of you. Each of you will be in charge of a certain area."

The princes of Qi raised their heads and looked at their father in disbelief. How could this be possible?

The emperor thought to himself, I gave you the chance but you didn't take the initiative and insisted that I distribute it. The emperor is very unhappy and doesn't even want to take all the money.

The prince thought the weather was really good today. He had given many hints, but no one believed him and he was very sad. Now it’s time!

The emperor motioned the prince to bring a piece of paper over, wrote east, west, south, and north on it, and then rolled it into a few balls. "Alright, you guys draw lots!"

How many kings of Qi are there? "......."

I don’t want to catch you, I really don’t want to catch you.

At the Zhou family, Zhulan was talking to her two brothers. The two brothers had not lived in the capital for a few days since they went to the seaside. They had just returned from Zhulan's family's farm.

Yang Zhumu received a reply from his son. His son wanted to discuss the future with him in detail. Yang Zhumu was also worried and said, "We plan to go back early."

Zhulan, "So fast?"

Yang Zhulin looked at his grandson and said, "It's not fast anymore. Winter is almost here."

Zhulan was reluctant to leave, "Then wait a few days, I'll prepare some New Year gifts to take back with you."
