"Something to do!" This time it was Xu Shilang who stood up, that is, Xu Yan'er's uncle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu Shilang has always been good at speculation, and now that a great promotion opportunity is in front of him, how could he let it go?!

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the Ministry of Industry mentioned that the flood season of the Turbid River is imminent, and it is necessary to inspect and repair the flood control embankment. The household department has always shirked the lack of money and food, and the minister thinks that food is not a problem. Xu Shilang said this, and deliberately paused.

"Oh? What does Aiqing mean? Han Xiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately raised his interest.

"The minister thought that the summer harvest was imminent in July, and this year's taxes and rents could be collected in early August. The remaining money and food of the household department are enough to meet the previous expenditures, and there is no need to be so cautious. Xu Shilang took a step forward and talked loudly.

Han Xiu's eyes narrowed, and the hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly clenched into fists, and scolded sharply: "Where is the Hubu Shangshu?" ”

He knew that the money and food of the household department would not be so embarrassed, and the military salary was sufficient every time, so why couldn't he get it out of this repair of the embankment?

Really! Shi Wen, the old fox, must have colluded with the Hubu Shangshu and deliberately made trouble for him, so that he could not interfere in the government!

Do you really think this is the world of the Shi family?

If it weren't for Shi Wen's illness, would he have been a puppet emperor all the time, and he wouldn't even know how much food was left in the imperial court?!

"Back to the emperor, Hubu Shangshu was sick at home and did not come to the court." A trace of excitement flashed in Xu Shilang's eyes, and he quickly restrained himself.

Finally to the point!

Tobe Shangshu is sick! According to the emperor's will, all the officials who complain of illness will be demoted! Tobe Shangshu has become a squire!

So, what about the vacated slot of Shangshu?

Does he have a chance to fill the gap?

Xu Shilang lowered his head, waiting for Han Xiu's decision.

"How much grain is left in the household?" Han Xiu pondered for a moment and looked up and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the general ledger of the household department is in the hands of Zhou Shangshu, and the ministers don't know how much is left. But judging from the several granaries near the capital, the surplus grain is enough to support the people of the capital for three months. Xu Shilang replied unhurriedly.

These figures were obtained by him after several days of hard work, repeated calculations and verifications, and on-the-spot investigations.

He is indeed good at speculative drilling, but he is by no means only speculative! Otherwise, Shi Wen, the old fox, would not have kept him in the household department.

Sure enough, Han Xiu nodded with satisfaction: "Xu Aiqing has worked hard." Taxes are about to be levied, and the household department cannot be left without the person in charge. In this way, Xu Aiqing temporarily took the position of Shangshu. ”

"Thank you, Lord Ronne! The ministers will be loyal to their duties and live up to the emperor's grace! Xu Shilang immediately knelt on the ground to thank him, and did not forget to show his loyalty.

……

After the early dynasty.

"Zhou Guang, wait!" Liu Yongan called out to several brothers in front of him, along with General Zhou, who had just asked for his life.

Han Xiu thought that Shi Wen suddenly fell ill, and the riot was only in the civil official circle, but he didn't know that the generals had already been in chaos.

"Brother Liu!" Zhou Guang's complexion changed slightly, and he seemed unwilling to say more to Liu Yongan, but after hesitating for a moment, he still stayed where he was.

"Zhou Guang, our brothers haven't been together for a long time. Go to the Drunken Immortal Building today and have a good drink, all as if the brothers practiced it for you! ”

Liu Yongan patted Zhou Guang's shoulder, his face was a little regretful, but he didn't say anything bad about the scenery.

"This ...... All right! Zhou Guang's expression softened a little, and he looked around at the brothers, hesitating slightly, but he didn't refuse after all.

After all, they are brothers who have been married for many years, although everyone's pursuits are different and their choices are different, but the friendship over the years is not fake.

……

Drunken Immortal Building.

The brothers sat in a circle.

"Big brother, hasn't Brother Shen Yi been found yet?" Liu Yongan looked up at Zhou Bo. As the eldest brother of righteousness, Zhou Bo is still quite good.

Shen Shijun has been missing for so long, Zhou Bo has never given up, and even sent his own relatives back to specifically supervise the investigation.

"Didn't find it. But......" Zhou Bo frowned, "I found a person, and the description of his body is very similar to Shijun. ”

"Did you say where you found it? What happened to the injuries on the body? Liu Yongan had already decided in his heart that this person was Shen Shijun.

After all, the general who guarded the riverside was Juan, the sworn brother. With Juan's tracking, it is impossible not to find a single wounded.

"On the side of the Northern Jin Dynasty......" Zhou Bo hesitated for a moment, but still said it, he was afraid that his brothers would misunderstand, and explained, "It's not that I went to the King of Jin, but I have been going north." ”

Because of this, Shen Shijun was not found in the first place. After all, everyone searched in the direction of Nanxiang, and no one thought that he would go to the Northern Jin Dynasty.

What did he go to the Northern Jin Dynasty for?

Zhou Bo felt strange and couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't guess what Shen Shijun had planned.

The crowd fell silent.

"If it weren't for the emperor's ......" someone muttered in a low voice, but was dragged hard and swallowed back again.

"Come, come, let's drink! Don't forget, today is to see off Brother Zhou! Liu Yongan raised his glass and resolved the embarrassment.

"Come, big brother will also toast you! I wish you a speedy and victorious start! Zhou Bo followed and raised his glass.

(It's not over, I'm still writing, I'll make it up later)

"Now, reward the meritorious man. The Shi family has made such a big contribution, but it has not even been sealed by a king with a different surname, does the emperor want to cross the river and tear down the bridge? ”
