“…… Zhao Chongguo...... Water scale......"

Liu Fuling muttered, and even the ruler in his hand slipped off, but he didn't react. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoEveryone on the left and right bowed their heads, and no one wanted to speak.

"Heh......" Liu Fuling laughed.

A slightly hoarse laughter echoed in the hall, making everyone in the hall hold their breath.

-- The official of the ancient mountains and forests said Heng, who was in charge of the ponds, so it was called the water balance.

Shui Heng Duwei, Emperor Wu Yuanding was placed at the beginning of the second year, and the palm of Lin Yuan was ranked, with a rank of 2,000 stones. The subordinate officials include Shanglin, Junyi, Yusha, Forbidden Garden, Jihao, Zhongguan, Skill, Six Stables, Nine Officials Lingcheng, as well as Hengguan, Shui Sikong, Dushui, Nongcang, and Ganquan Shanglin, Dushui Seven Officials Changcheng.

The palace garden pond is nothing, and the most important power of the Shui Heng Lieutenant lies in the three subordinate officials of Junyi, Zhong Guan, and Debate Copper.

- To put it bluntly, Shui Heng Du Wei was nominally in charge of Shanglin Yuan, but in fact, this official position was in charge of various taxes added by Emperor Xiaowu, and the other was to make money.

-- At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, the people's livelihood withered, and the Qin money in circulation at that time weighed 12 baht, which was really inconvenient to be used for trading. When Emperor Xiaowen, because the elm pod money was too light, he cast four baht money, but the people could also cast themselves, the country of Wu at that time was the mountain to cast money, rich in the world, when Emperor Xiaojing, Wu dared to rebel, and it was not unrelated. Therefore, Emperor Xiaojing began, the Han began to prohibit the people from minting money, however, the counties can still mint money, and the county coins are mostly mixed with lead and tin, the money is light and cheap, even if the county officials repeatedly change the money system, and send personnel to supervise, it is impossible to curb the development of this situation, and there are many people who are tricky to prohibit the theft of coinage, to the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, Emperor Xiaowu finally banned the county from minting money, and changed to the three officials of Shanglin to specially mint money. Later, he made it impossible for the world's non-three officials to make money, and the money minted in front of the counties and states was abolished, and its copper was lost to the three officials. This will make the price of money recover, and the actual income of the imperial court will naturally increase greatly.

It seems that Huo Guang's appointment of Zhao Chongguo as the lieutenant of Shui Heng is just a reward for military merits, which is no matter how natural, but, unlike other official positions, Shui Heng is a real treasury.

-- The tax revenue is counted, but the water balance can make money.

The fifteen-year-old Son of Heaven may not understand the difference between minting money and other incomes, but the eight-year career of the Son of Heaven has made him clearly aware of one thing - every practice of his imperial examination is of great significance to the emperor's power!

-- Every official added to his imperial examination was extremely meaningful and necessary.

- That must increase the authority of the emperor!

Liu Fuling understands this, and it is precisely because of this that he reacts so violently to the news of this award.

- Every time Huo Guang appoints a cronie to such an official position, he, the emperor, will be emptied!

Liu Fuling is indeed smart, but smart...... Sometimes...... It didn't work!

Laughing quietly for a while, Liu Fuling coughed uncontrollably, and the eunuch stepped forward to serve, but he raised his hand and waved it away.

After covering his mouth and coughing for a while, Liu Fuling gradually calmed down.

"Lord ......" Xiao Huangmen knelt in front of the emperor's bed and called out uneasily.

Liu Fuling didn't respond, and after a while, she put down her hand and said to the little yellow door: "Empress Zhao is here...... See me. ”

"Yui." Xiao Huangmen's heart tightened, but he couldn't help it.

No matter how unwilling Xi Jun was, after listening to Xiao Huangmen's retelling, he only came immediately.

As usual, the queen was accompanied by Zhong Changqiu, Fu Mu, nanny, Changyu, eunuchs, and palace people.

The mighty group of people all entered the emperor's bed.

Although the Son of Heaven's dormitory is very spacious, there are many people serving in the palace, and the queen's close attendants are not much worse than the emperor. As a result, the palace, which was originally quite empty, immediately became a little crowded.

Liu Fuling didn't like this feeling of crowding, so he frowned, looked at Xijun and said, "The queen can wait outside." ”

Xijun was unwilling, and said, "The etiquette should be like this." ”

―― After meeting several times, neither of them was happy, and this time, no matter what, Xijun didn't want to face this alone...... It's already a bit inexplicable!

Everyone in the middle palace was also very well-behaved, and after seeing the salute, they bowed their heads and sat down, looking like they didn't know anything.

Looking at the queen who knelt down far from the bed, Liu Fuling squinted slightly, and said after a long time: "The queen doesn't want to go to Qingpu?" ”

Qingpu, with green rules, is the inner court of the Son of Heaven, only the queen can enter directly without edict.

Xijun raised her head and looked at Liu Fuling, but she couldn't help but be stunned when she saw him lowering his eyes slightly and his expression was gloomy.

The girl was soft-hearted, and as soon as her eyes moved, she saw the Qingyuan mat in front of the bed of the Son of Heaven, and she couldn't help but be stunned again.

After being stunned for a while, Xijun finally stood up, walked to the bed of the Son of Heaven, and slowly sat down on Qingpu.

"Your Majesty's edict and concubines meet, is there any fatwa?" Xijun's body was stiff, and his voice was very stiff.

Seeing Shangguan Yan approaching and sitting down, Liu Fuling was not without a trace of emotion, but when he heard his queen ask in such a blunt tone, Liu Fuling's heart tightened, but he could only sigh helplessly.

-- This is the situation...... After all, he caused himself......

Hearing the sigh of the Son of Heaven, Xijun couldn't help but be startled, and his whole body stiffened even more.

-- What happened to the DPRK and China?

Although she is young, Xi Jun has already summed up a rule - this young son of heaven will only directly ask her to meet when there is something in the court.

Xijun smiled bitterly - did this young emperor realize that she was just his queen!

- She's just clinging to his existence!

Liu Fuling looked at the girl who was obviously more nervous, and felt even more powerless in his heart, but after pondering for a while, he still asked: "What I asked before, did the queen answer?" ”

――What you asked earlier?

Xijun looked up in confusion: "I saw you before, Your Majesty asked a lot, and the concubine doesn't know what Your Majesty is referring to?" Furthermore, His Majesty's question, are there any concubines who have not yet answered? ”

Xijun really can't think of it.

Seeing that the queen's expression did not seem to be fake, the corners of Liu Fuling's mouth twitched, but after looking at the people on the left and right, he didn't repeat the question, but after being silent, he said to the queen: "Does the queen know that I am not yet in the Yang Palace?" ”

Xi Jun naturally knows, but do you want to say it?

"I have agreed with the general that next spring, I will not be in the Yang Palace." Liu Fuling did not wait for Shangguan's answer.

The Son of Heaven used an informative tone, and the young queen simply bowed her head and agreed.

After that, Xijun raised his head and looked at Liu Fuling with a puzzled expression.

――Why did you tell her?

Liu Fuling smiled: "I have not yet moved to the Yang Palace, and the concubines should also be moved to the Weiyang Palace." ”

Xijun bowed his head again: "No." ”

-- And rightfully so.

Xijun thought that Liu Fuling still had orders, but after waiting for a while, she still didn't hear the voice of the young man, she couldn't help but raise her eyes to look, but she was facing Liu Fuling's scrutinizing gaze.

Xijun was startled, and quickly lowered his eyes, his heart full of chagrin - he was so anxious!

"Although there is an order in the court, the queen still needs to worry about this matter." Liu Fuling commanded softly, but his gentle tone made Xijun feel frightened.

"No." Xijun can only respond like this again.

Liu Fuling was silent again. There was silence in the temple. Faintly, Xijun felt that Liu Fuling would say something more.

- It won't be anything!

The feeling in Xijun's heart was very ominous.

――What's even more unfortunate is that this feeling has never been tried in the face of this young genius!

"I don't know what the general means, I think that the front hall also needs the queen to worry." Liu Fuling said slowly, his tone mixed with undisguised ridicule.

After all, she is a girl who has been pampered for many years......

- His Queen...... At least, in front of him, he still can't hide his thoughts.

…… Really!

Xijun sneered in his heart.

――Is this dissatisfied with the general, or is it dissatisfied with her?

- Would she have taken the initiative to take on these things?

- Always vent those emotions at her......

――What's the point?

Xijun can understand the thoughts of the young Tianzi.

--He was clearly the Son of Heaven, but he couldn't do what he wanted, and he had to submit to his subordinates.

――Dissatisfied......

――Unwilling......

Xijun can understand it, but she doesn't agree.

- Just like she's still a queen......

――Something...... If you can't change it, you can only accept it......

――Not satisfied...... Unwilling to ......

…… Did it work?

Xijun really felt that he couldn't understand the thoughts of this Son of Heaven.

- He should know these things better than himself, right?

-- This kind of meaningless thing, do it once in a while, vent it...... Forget it......

……

Xijun's idea is not wrong, but Liu Fuling is not really what she thinks.

-- Just like this order, it seems to be a superfluous move, but in fact, it is to avoid the situation where Huo Guang directly speaks.

-- It doesn't make much sense, but at least, it can maintain the rain of the monarch and the minister.

It's not that the young son of heaven doesn't know how to compromise, it's not that he doesn't know what he should do, it's just that recently, every time he sees her, Liu Fuling vents these meaningless emotions to her......

- This ...... It seems to have become a habit of the young emperor......

Xijun was young after all, and she didn't realize that this kind of unscrupulous venting actually had a deeper meaning. And around her, those who understand this...... I didn't want to explain that to her.

-- Those ...... It's just speculation......

For those people, Xi Jun's current move to stay away from Liu Fuling as much as possible is the most appropriate!

- They don't need to make the Empress care too much about the Emperor!

After all, no one can see the future of the emperor clearly.

Therefore, Xijun can only be silent.

- She couldn't express her pleasure, so she could only accept it in silence.

Similarly, Liu Fuling was a little disappointed.

- His Queen...... Didn't care so much about him......

- Even after all these things, she didn't want to lean towards him in the slightest......

- Is this blood thicker than water?

Liu Fuling lowered his eyes.

He told himself - for now, he could only accept the arrangement.

- He had no choice but to compromise with Huo Guang.

- If he is so, what can his queen do?

-- maybe...... That's all......
