Ren Xiaoyao's face is as thick as a city wall, even if it is exposed. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info still did not change color, and justice said awe-inspiringly: "The emperor has misunderstood!" Wechen will never be greedy for a penny of silver, if the emperor doesn't believe it, Wechen can make a poisonous oath......"

"Then you can send one."

Ren Xiaoyao raised his right hand. A serious way: "Ahem...... If Weichen is greedy for every penny of silver, God will punish Weichen for being beaten by his wife every day. Three times a day, on the first day of the new year, and then on the fifteenth day of the new year, add a supper......"

"Get out! Is my Qianyun so spicy? Ren Xiaoyao once again succeeded in provoking the emperor's raging anger.

Of course, without exception, the monarch and the minister broke up again unhappily, and Ren Xiaoyao was kicked out of the imperial study by the emperor and returned home in disgrace.

However, Ren Xiaoyao is now full of joy, before being kicked out, the emperor finally relented and promised to copy Pan Shangshu's mansion first, but the emperor did not allow Ren Xiaoyao to be greedy for ink, and the emperor refused without thinking about the old rule of 19 points proposed by Ren Xiaoyao.

If you don't be greedy, it's not a penny, just now I swore that I only said that I was not greedy for a penny of silver, of course I don't look down on a penny, but a hundred taels, a thousand taels of silver, then it is not necessarily, the house was burned like that, and I didn't see the emperor compensate me.

The carriage traveled to the square in front of the Ren Mansion, and Ren Xiao was surprised to find that the repair work in the front yard of the Mansion had begun to operate, the charred gate and plaque had been replaced, the mud craftsmen were directing the labor to tear down the wall, and everyone was busy with their own work.

There was also a large group of people standing at the door, these people were dressed in court official uniforms, each holding a prayer note in their hands, and they were eagerly looking forward to it. Seeing Ren Yao's carriage slowly coming, all the officials brightened their eyes, rushed forward to meet them, and shouted: "Lord Ren is back!" ”

"Marquis Ren, in the prefect of Xiayangzhou, I came to meet Marquis Ren, congratulations to Marquis Ren, congratulations to Marquis on his promotion to ......"

"Ren Hou Ye, in the lower household department, meet Ren Hou Ye, this is the lower official's greeting post......"

"Get out of the way, it's my turn! Ren Hou Ye, the lower officials ......"

"Ouch! Who stepped on me......"

"Are you hungry, adults? Try the little old man's sesame cake, a penny a ......"

“…………”

Ren Xiaoyao was stunned by the scene in front of him, such a large group of people surrounded him, who knows if they are officials or not, in case there are remnants of the Pan Party among them, take advantage of the chaos to stab themselves a few times, who will I reason with when I die?

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to get off the carriage, he made a decision immediately, lifted the curtain, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on!" There are assassins! ”

"Who? Where are the Assassins? "The officials were also frightened, the rebellion in the city was initially decided, and there were many remnants of the Pan Party who slipped through the net. -- The world is as black as a crow, and this group of officials went with Ren Xiaoyao.

At this time, the officials were not polite to Ren Xiaoyao, and they all rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao's carriage in horror. Miasma. Ren Yao struggled in the crowd in a frustrated manner, sank, and then was submerged again, leaving only one hand, lonely and powerless stretched out in the crowd. He gestured his middle finger with all his might. Finally drooped softly......

When the subordinates of the shadow and the subordinates of the Ren Mansion heard the news, they rushed to separate the people, and found that the young master Ren was at the bottom of the carriage, and his face was pale. Dying, his whole body twitched......

Ren Xiaoyao sat in the side hall of Ren's mansion with a gloomy face, and dozens of court officials with sneering faces stood or sat in front of him.

Pointing to the large and small gift boxes piled up in the corner of the hall, Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "You are here to give gifts?" ”

The officials nodded their heads busily and gave them extremely flattering smiles.

"Fart!" Ren Xiaoyao slapped the table fiercely: "Are you giving a gift?" It's clearly for me to see me off! ”

The officials were horrified. Repeated reparations.

When I think about it, I feel scared, if the shadow subordinates and subordinates come a little later......

Ren Xiaoyao snorted, and sorrow came from it: "Lao Tzu Hero I, for the country and the emperor several times, born and died, the enemy failed to take my life, I didn't expect to be almost crushed to death by your group of corrupt officials...... What a! ”

The officials hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them, saying that they were unintentional, and they didn't know which bastard shouted an assassin. This person should really be arrested and paraded naked in the streets for three months to dispel the anger of the marquis......

…………

It wasn't until everyone presented the gift list they brought to Ren Xiaoyao that Ren Houye's face improved a little.

An official walked beyond the crowd, walked up to Ren Xiaoyao and nodded with a smile: "Now Ren Hou Ye has the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, that is to say." You are our top boss, please take care of the lower officials in the future, the lower officials will present you with a hundred top East Pearls this time, and I hope that the Hou Ye will smile and accept ......"

"Master Ren. Xia Guan sent five red coral ...... in the East China Sea"

"Lord Ren, the lower official sent twenty pairs of five-hundred-year-old ginseng to nourish the old ginseng ......"

“…………”

"Wha. Polite, too polite, don't take it as an example, I'll accept it this time, I will accept it all......" Ren Xiaoyao was so happy that his face was red, and the face of the corrupt official was clear at a glance. Ren Cai's little unhappiness has long been thrown out of the clouds, so many valuable gifts, even if Young Master Ben is crushed half to death by them, it is worth it......

"Wait! Ren Hou Ye, the gift of the lower official is the best, the lower official heard that the Hou Ye Ren has always been honest as water, and it is difficult to live a difficult life......"

Including Ren Xiaoyao, everyone looked at the official who spoke dumbfounded, and this fart was ...... It's too shameless, isn't it? is incorruptible, and it is still difficult to live......

Ren Xiaoyao's face has always been as thick as the city wall, and when he heard the words, he was rarely red, and it was fleeting, and he was secretly alert in his heart, this person's sycophant work is still above me, I have to be careful......

The official who spoke triumphantly continued: "...... Xia Guan heard that in Ren Houye's residence, there is only one wife, not even a maid to call, Xia Guan is moved by Ren Houye's noble sentiment of being willing to be poor, and at the same time he is distressed for Ren Hou Ye, so Xia Guan sent four beautiful maids to Ren Hou Ye, and follow you to warm the bed and add fragrance to the red sleeves......"

Saying that, he also squeezed Ren Yao's eyes ambiguously, revealing a ** smile that all men understand, and said with a smile: "They haven't been done yet......

Ren was overjoyed, and was about to open his mouth to accept it, but he saw the official who gave the gift screaming, and then the person had already flown five feet away, lying on the ground foaming at the mouth, and sobbing all over......

Ren Xiaoyao was so frightened that he drilled under the table, holding his head in his hands and shouting, "Assassin! There are assassins! This time it's real......"

"There's a fart assassin! You come out for the old lady! Bai Liyun took Ren Xiaoyao out from under the table with a majestic hand.

Ren Xiaoyao took a look and saw that Bai Liyun's female guards were standing all around, and a group of officials looked at Bai Liyun dumbfounded.

And the official on the ground was sobbing all over,...... He's still pumping.

Pointing to the official lying on the ground, Ren Yao stammered, "This ...... He...... Did you do this? ”

Baili Yunfeng's eyes were full of anger, and he glanced at the officials viciously, and said angrily: "It's just a gift for my husband, but you dare to give a woman to my husband, don't you want to die?" ”

Ren Xiaoyao immediately wilted when he heard this, his wives still didn't deal with each other for three days, this will require four more beautiful maids, it is estimated that in a few days, the fishermen of the Qinhuai River outside the city will salvage four beautiful nameless corpses, they are all immersed in the pig cage......

"You...... How can you treat an official of the court like this! An official who seemed to have a good relationship with the man lying on the ground angrily accused.

Ren Xiaoyao raised his head in surprise, ho! Dare to argue with the princess of the dynasty, this kid has a kind!

In fact, Ren Xiaoyao misunderstood. Ren Xiaoyao married the princess, all the big and small officials in the capital knew, but the low-level officials who came to Beijing from other places did not necessarily know, they rushed to the Ren Mansion to give gifts after entering Beijing, and they didn't have time to inquire about Ren Xiaoyao's wife who was sacred. Otherwise, they wouldn't dare to argue with the princess.

Bai Liyun raised her eyebrows when she heard this. The murderous aura appeared, and he sneered: "I didn't expect that my Hua Dynasty would have such a backbone official as you, it's very good......"

Ren Xiaoyao knew that it was going to be bad, and others were kind enough to give gifts. It's not good to look like it's bloody. ――If you are so scared that others don't dare to come to give gifts in the future, won't this young master die at a loss?

"This adult, this monkey...... The wife of this marquis is the second daughter of the current saint, Princess Bailiyun. Don't be reckless...... this lord."

"What? This beautiful and dignified woman turned out to be the second daughter of the saint, Her Royal Highness Princess Bailiyun, no wonder the lower officials felt that Mrs. Hou Ye was so graceful and luxurious at first sight, more than three points more beautiful than the most beautiful woman in the world...... "The official who collided with Bailiyun just now saw the wind and made the rudder fast, which was surprising, and it was rare that he didn't blush and pant at all, as if this was what he was talking about.

"You...... You...... What is your name? What is the official position? This time, Ren Yao stammered. Such a shameless person must be included in the monkey's account, and the prince can't be allowed to go, and having Xiao Huaiyuan under the prince is enough to make Ren Xiaoyao worry.

"Back to the words of the Hou Ye, the next official Ye Donghui. He lived in the prefect of Changzhou. Ye Donghui stood up and replied respectfully.

"Ye Donggue? What a strange name, okay, this marquis remembers you. ”

"Master Hou, the lower official's name is Ye Donghui. Don't call Ye Donggua ......," Ye Donghui shouted and corrected.

"Oops, winter melon and winter glow. Aren't they all the same......" Ren Xiaoyao said impatiently.

Ye Donghui cried silently in his heart, it's different, it's so different!

-----------------------------

Prince's Mansion.

The day after the rebellion ended, the prince quietly returned to the city from the camp of the Shence army.

Fan Rui was hunching his waist and kept congratulating the prince.

"Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the emperor has allowed His Royal Highness to enter the court to supervise the country, which is a great joy for His Royal Highness."

The prince also had a relieved smile on his face, which made his whole person look more elegant.

"Lone has finally waited for this day, his father is old, and Lone should really share his father's worries." The prince's tone was very embarrassed, and he didn't know if he was sighing for himself, or the emperor.

Fan Rui looked at the prince's face, saw the prince's face was happy, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Forgive your presumptuousness, Your Highness is not the time to be happy now......"

The prince's face sank, and then he said slowly: "What does Mr. mean is that the fourth brother of Lone, King Fu, was also arranged by his father to serve in the Ministry of Officials?" ”

"Exactly, the emperor's move is quite meaningful, and His Royal Highness must not ignore it."

"My father has been on the throne for decades, and he has been playing with trade-offs all his life, and he has arranged King Fu into the Ministry of Officials, and Lone doubts whether he has learned that on the day of the rebellion, Lone suppressed the Shence army and did not move, so his father has become dissatisfied with Lone......" The prince hesitated.

"This matter can not be guarded against, His Royal Highness entered the court to supervise the country, and King Fu entered the most important ministry of the six departments, originally His Royal Highness did not need to be too afraid, but the problem is that now Ren Xiaoyao is reused by the emperor, with the power of supervising hundreds of officials, and also guarding the capital, integrating civil and military power, as we all know, Ren Xiaoyao is the family of King Fu, if the two join forces in the court, His Royal Highness will be constrained everywhere to manage state affairs."

The prince's face was gloomy and said: "I don't know Lonely, I didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao to be so reused, he has a shadow in his hands, supervises hundreds of officials, and leads the post of defense general in the capital, faintly after Pan Rebellious, the first person in the court, if it takes time, let him cultivate forces in the court, pull parties and factions, and in the future, the court will have a place for Lonely?" ”

"But...... I can't figure it out, why does the emperor use him so much? In terms of qualifications and officials, there are many people in the court who are stronger than Ren Xiaoyao, even if he has made a few insignificant contributions, the emperor has no reason to praise him so high. ”

"Lone also thought about it for a long time, and Lone guessed that this might be the father and emperor planning for the future......"

"What's going on?"

"Yes, my father is nearly seventy years old, and the eunuch in the palace said that my father has been suffering from constant illness in recent years, and he can barely support himself by taking decoction. A few days ago, Pan's rebellion was a huge blow to his father, and Lone thought that his father might be exhausted and wanted to abdicate early. ”

Fan Rui said happily: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you are getting closer and closer to the day of your accession to the throne......

The prince shook his head and said: "Don't be happy too early, blessings and misfortunes are relied on, and it is true that my father wants to abdicate, but I faintly feel that my father has wavered about the position of the prince, and King Fu's entry into the Ministry is a good proof." What Lone is worried about is that Pan rebelled, and Lone forced the Shence army to stand still outside the city, if this matter was known by his father, Lone's position as the crown prince would definitely not be guaranteed. ”

Fan Rui said in a low voice: "This matter should be resolved as soon as possible, only Liu Changsheng, the general of the Shence Army, and his two lieutenant generals know that His Highness has entered the Shence military camp, His Highness should make a decision as soon as possible, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and don't leave a disaster for himself......"

The crown prince glanced at Fan Rui and said slowly: "My father is extremely angry because of the ineffective rescue of the Shence army, if the general dies for no reason at this time, wouldn't it make my father even more suspicious?" ”

Fan Rui lowered his head and said in a flat tone: "Prince, please rest assured, Liu Changsheng will definitely die of a violent illness, even if the imperial doctor in the palace goes to check, he won't be able to see anything wrong......"

The prince stared at Fan Rui gloomily for a long time, and saw that Fan Rui was drenched in cold sweat behind him, and then the prince yawned lightly, and said lightly: "I'm tired ...... lonely."

Fan Rui bowed his head respectfully, and said with a pun: "Arrange it for the prince below." ”

After a bloody rebellion, the people of the capital have also returned to a peaceful life, the dead are gone, and the living have to continue to run for their livelihood.

The curfew in the city has been lifted, many people in the city wrap white cloth on their heads, light white candles, burn paper money, and faint cries can be heard from all corners of the capital, which are the people who mourn the innocent and tragic death of their relatives and friends during the rebellion.

Renfu is also brightly lit.

The repair work in the front yard is still in full swing, and Ren Xiaoyao is patrolling the construction site.

An official of the Ministry of Industry nodded and smiled flatteringly: "Master Ren, the craftsmen who repaired the courtyard for you are directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, and their ancestors have been repairing gardens and building halls for the palace for generations. ”

Ren Xiaoyao was surprised: "The one who repaired the palace will repair the courtyard for me?" This one...... Overkill, right? How can I afford it? ”

The official of the Ministry of Industry said with a smile: "You can afford it, you can afford it completely, besides, to repair the courtyard for you, it is all the money that the officials of our Ministry of Industry have paid for themselves, and they have not used a penny from the treasury, which can be regarded as a small intention of the Ministry of Industry to Hou Ye." I hope that the Hou Ye will not shirk......"

The official's eyes looking at Ren Xiaoyao were extremely warm, like a microscope that could magnify countless times, and the slightest change in expression on Ren Xiaoyao's face was deeply reflected in the official's eyes, and then in his mind he judged whether the Shangguan with a strong background behind him liked or disliked. The official's face still had a flattering sneer, Ren Xiaoyao's heart was like a mirror, he was not pleasing himself, but the aura behind him.

Power, it turns out that this is called power. It is no wonder that from ancient times to the present, so many people are still happy to hit their heads and bleed in pursuit of power, and even their families are ruined, and the word power is so tempting.

Ren Xiaoyao, who was in charge of real power for the first time, couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, he was just a young man less than twenty years old, he was just a poor college student who couldn't even find a job in his previous life, how could he have thought that he would have such a beautiful day? The officials of the imperial court tried their best to please themselves. Crying and shouting, he stuffed gifts and silver tickets for himself, not to mention anything else, and looked at the posture of the Ministry of Labor to help him repair the front yard, counting left and right. It must cost at least 120,000 taels of silver, right?

However, the officials of the Ministry of Labor are indeed very rich. The emperors of the past dynasties have never stopped repairing the palace, and the expenses used are extremely extravagant, so the Ministry of Industry has also become a fat yamen, and a little bit of it is cut out of the repair funds allocated by the state treasury at will. It's enough for them to eat for the rest of their lives. Ren Xiaoyao didn't expect that they would also have their own day.

Be calm, be calm! Ren Xiaoyao was not only proud, but also secretly reminded himself in his heart that power is a double-edged sword. If you are not careful, you will hurt yourself, and the more power you have, the more careful you must be, and you will not be able to give people a handle.

"You're not doing that!" Ren Xiaoyao lowered his face and said solemnly: "Are you bribing this marquis?" ”

The officials of the Ministry of Industry were shocked, their faces turned white, and they said in a trembling voice: "Master Hou...... Master Hou forgives his sins! Xiaguan, Xiaguan just expressed his heart to you on behalf of the Ministry of Industry, how can you say bribes? Look at the Hou Ye Mingjian! ”

He pointed to the front yard in full swing. Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice: "These have to cost a lot of silver, right?" This marquis has always been as honest as water, with clean sleeves, whether in the court or among the people, he has a high reputation, isn't it harmful for me to do this? ”

The Ministry of Industry officials were so angry that they were about to vomit blood. Are you still incorruptible? Still two sleeves breeze? These **** count the silver tickets are all cramps, right? Taking advantage of the advantage and selling well, it is simply shameless!

He was extremely disdainful in his heart, but he had to smile with a smile on his face: "Master Hou is serious, these don't cost a few silver." Really, the emperor ordered the marquis to supervise hundreds of officials. How could the lower officials let Hou Ye bear the notoriety of taking bribes? Master Hou, you should only regard it as a courtesy exchange between officials......"

"How's that going to work?" Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand like a great man, and said categorically: "This marquis is deeply favored by the emperor, and everything he thinks about is the state affairs and people's livelihood, how can he take advantage of such a small advantage?" The wages of these craftsmen, the food and the materials needed to repair the courtyard, the marquis paid for it out of his own pocket, and said, how much silver is needed in total? ”

The officials of the Ministry of Industry have a big difference in their hearts, and they know that this person is greedy for money and lustful, and often unscrupulous means to make money, but it seems that this is not the case today, is the legend not accurate, this person is really a clean official? That's not going to be easy......

"Master Hou...... You, why do you bother? Xia Guan didn't mean anything else...... "The official of the Ministry of Industry said Ai Ai.

Ren Xiaoyao grabbed the official of the Ministry of Industry, pulled him closer, and said with a righteous face: "This marquis is ordered by the emperor to supervise hundreds of officials, of course, he has to set an example, how can he give people the handle of greedy ink and silver money?" Besides, this marquis's family is well-off, is there a lack of this little money? ――Is ten taels enough? ”

"Huh?" The officials of the Ministry of Industry were intimidated by Ren Yaoyao's righteousness and did not react for a while.

Ren Xiaoyao said unhappily: "Look, you are also a five-grade official, why are your ears bad?" This marquis asks you, the wages of these craftsmen, as well as the materials together, is ten taels of silver enough? ”

"Ten...... Ten taels? The Ministry of Works' eyes widened and he stammered.

Ren Xiaoyao frowned: "Could it be less?" ”

"No, no, it's not a lot......" The official used all his strength to squeeze out a smiling face, but his face was a little ugly.

Ren Xiaoyao patted the official's shoulder with satisfaction, and his smile was full of relief: "Very good, this Hou Ye never takes advantage of others, others give me gifts, and this Hou Ye has always paid it back ten times, fair and reasonable, Tong Su is not ...... bullied"

As he spoke, Ren Xiaoyao took out a silver ingot of ten taels from his arms and slapped it in the official's hand, glanced at the hot repair site with emotion, and said in an aria full of emotion: "It's good, it's really-good-ah!" ”

patted the official's shoulder encouragingly, and Ren Yao walked to his small courtyard satisfied.

The official of the Ministry of Industry looked at the white silver ingot in his hand, which looked so dazzling under the illumination of the torches on the construction site......

"That's right," after walking a few steps, Ren Xiaoyao seemed to suddenly remember something, turned around and said, "...... The old father of this marquis likes vases, you go to Tao for change, get two antique vases from the previous dynasty and put them in the front hall of my house, you want the real thing, don't fake it......"

Seeing that the official was still holding the silver and looking at him stupidly, Ren Xiaoyao frowned and emphasized: "...... Don't embezzle! Otherwise, don't blame Lord Ben for ...... you shuanggui"

After speaking, Ren Xiaoyao waved his sleeves, and Shi Shiran returned to the small courtyard.

After a long time, the officials of the Ministry of Industry fell to the construction site with a thud, and the craftsmen were shocked.

"My lord! What's wrong with you, adult? ”

"Quick! Get a doctor! ”

"............" (To be continued.) )
