Chapter 34 To each his own
What should be spent and what should not be spent, it is not up to him Xu Huai to have the final say. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, Xu Huai stood on the moral high ground of remembering the emperor and mourning the ancestors, who would dare to pull him down?
It is unfaithful to pull him down, and it is unrighteous not to spend this money!
"Okay, okay, don't argue with each other."
Murong Jun finally couldn't listen anymore and spoke.
"The silver that should be spent does have to be spent, but respecting the emperor is not reflected in how much silver is spent." Murong Jun has been hungry for the past few days, and his brain is finally hungry and understands, although he is the Son of Heaven, once the balance in the court is broken, he will not even be able to eat supper.
Murong Jun didn't know Xu Huai's wishful thinking, but if he rejected him, a great moral man, at this moment, he was afraid that he would not even be able to eat dinner soon.
Murong Qing and his father-in-law fought in the court, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty dared to come forward to persuade them, and they all said that it was difficult for Qing officials to decide family affairs, not to mention royal family affairs.
"The anniversary ceremony of the first emperor will be handed over to Shangguan Xue, and as for how much silver to allocate, this matter is not difficult. If the silver does not come out of the treasury, then it can only be saved from the expenses of the six palaces, and how much can be saved is everyone's filial piety, Xu Qing, it will not make it difficult for your daughter-in-law to cook without rice. ”
What's what? Reducing the expenses of the 6th house?
Murong Qing is really a ruthless move, these **** are really not hungry in vain. When he can't eat every day, what he hates the most is the person who makes him unable to eat, and he asks the Sixth Palace to save money and run the anniversary festival of the first emperor, which is not equivalent to letting Xu Huai stand on the opposite side of the Sixth Palace. Which of those old ladies in the harem is easy to deal with?
Today, there is such a quarrel in the court, and everyone knows that the silver for this anniversary sacrifice was made by Xu Huai, an old demon.
However, Jiang is still old and spicy, how can he Xu Huai carry this black pot?
"Holy Wisdom." Xu Huai knelt down and said, "It's just that the old man is old, although he has the intention to raise money to hold an anniversary ceremony for the emperor, but he has felt weak recently, and he occasionally feels powerless." Fortunately, the sixth prince is young, and between his words, he can calculate the expenses of the imperial kitchen, so why not leave this matter to him. First, it is more convenient for the prince to enter and exit the six palaces than the old man, and secondly, it is also an experience for the younger generations. ”
Xu Huai unloaded the black cauldron on his shoulder and immediately put it on Murong Qing.
"You!" Murong Qing lost the chess, and he really forgot that he was Xu Huai's son-in-law. Xu Huai's words seemed to be an elderly Taishan promoting his virtuous son-in-law, and no one in the court could refute it. It is said that no one in the court is an official, and the officials who climb up by nepotism are the majority, how many officials in the court have been promoted by their fathers-in-law, and how many have promoted their sons-in-law. Refutating Xu Huai at this moment, isn't it just a slap in the face?
Cui Mei had the intention to stand up and say a word or two for Murong Qing, but he was okay with a knife and a gun, and he was really not good at this rhetoric. Besides, his father Cui Guangsheng stood in front of him without saying a word, and it was not his turn to speak.
But Murong Qing asked himself before, Cui Mei is a very trustworthy person, and he can only bite the bullet at this moment.
"Your Majesty, let your ministers say the last sentence." Cui Mei took a step forward.
Murong Jun was stunned, is the sun coming out in the west today? Did Cui Mei speak in the court? Murong Jun has always trusted Cui Mei to be strong in martial arts and a stable person, but every day he goes to the court like a pillar in the Qianqing Palace, people stand there and never make a sound.
"Aiqing, please speak."
Since the person who doesn't speak well has spoken, then Murong Jun must let him finish his words.
"The minister is brave, the sixth prince is in the royal family, he has been dressed and eaten since he was a child, there was a queen mother to cook the harem, and now there is a queen, and he has the lord of Jingshu in his own family, how can he ever worry about it. Not to mention the prince, let's start with a middle-sized family like the minister, the housekeeper has parents and grandmothers, and there are housekeepers and slaves, and the ministers are only in charge of reading and writing, riding horses and shooting arrows at home. ”
Cui Mei really had never said so many words, and when he opened his mouth by chance today, it really scared Murong Jun. And, he continued.
"My father often told his subordinates at home that good men have ambitions in all directions, so in Weichen's house, my grandmother and my mother are all responsible for their diligence and thrift, which permeate their diet and daily life, and their subordinates can get used to it, so they don't need to worry about it. My father often admonished Weichen that the boy has more important things to do, that is, to protect the family and defend the country! Cui Mei is the way.
Murong Jun probably heard what Cui Mei meant, turned his head and smiled at Cui Guangsheng, the general of Fuyuan, and said, "Cui Aiqing, the door style is very strict, and it should be a model for all ministers to follow." and taught Cui Mei to be such a loyal son, you two are comparable to Yue Fei's father and son! I am very relieved, I am very relieved! Hahahaha! ”
"Weichen doesn't dare!" Cui Guangsheng didn't expect that his taciturn son would get involved in the dispute between Xu Huai and Murong Qing today, and he was worried about him, and the emperor praised himself at the moment, and he was very honestly afraid. Their Cui family has always been immediately leveling the world, talking with the barrel of a gun, never getting involved in court disputes, so routine, there have been three generations, as silent as a family rule, but I don't know what kind of evil style their youngest son is smoking today.
Xu Huai's lungs were about to explode when he heard this, and they all said that beating people does not slap their faces, and exposing people does not expose their shortcomings. This Xu Huai has no sons, and only gave birth to a few daughters, so it is most annoying for people to talk about their sons on weekdays. What does Cui Mei mean by this? Isn't this an insinuation that Xu Huai was in the position of being troubled by his son-in-law in the court because he had no son? also keeps saying that a good man is ambitious in all directions, but Cui Guangsheng is galloping on the battlefield, and the military silver is tens of millions of taels, and there is also food. As soon as he Xu Huai was a civil official, did he deserve to be made fun of in the court for the sake of money?
At this time, it is indeed not a wise move for Cui Mei to stand up.
But the donkey has already been pulled to the front of the mill, and it can only turn down one by one.
"The anniversary of the first emperor is imminent, if you wait for the six princes to be carved into a weapon, I am afraid that it will be delayed. Therefore, the emperor is also asked to come up with a foolproof plan for this matter. ”
After Cui Mei finished speaking, the ministers also hurriedly agreed: "Please also ask the Holy Lord to take it!" ”
Okay, you Cui Mei is, I talked a lot of nonsense, and finally kicked the problem kick the ball to me, Murong Jun was a little unable to sit still on the dragon chair.
However, he also knew that Xu Huai and Murong Qing had just made a fuss like that, and only when he finally stood up could it end, Cui Mei just stood up and paved the way for himself, suppressing Xu Huai's arrogance.
However, Murong Jun can't help it, Xu Huai is strong, his platform naturally can't be dismantled, but it can't extinguish Rong Qing's arrogance, and it's not easy for him to say this. originally wanted to use the reduction of harem expenses to shake the matter of allocating money, but who knew that Xu Huai, the old fox, had led the disaster to his younger brother again.
"That's it, that's it. The affairs of the six palaces were handed over to the queen to take care of, and the silver money saved this month was allocated to the Ministry of Rites to handle the anniversary of the king. If the money is not enough, then it is not impossible to allocate some money from the treasury. It's just that I still say that everything depends on the heart, not on how much money is made. Murong Qing looked at Xu Huai as he spoke, and his face seemed to be a little better.
As for Murong Qing, what Xu Qing said is reasonable, although it is a good man's ambition in all directions, but if he doesn't sweep a house, how can he sweep the world, and it is a man's duty to rule the country and level the world. Therefore, this month, Murong Qing went to rectify the imperial kitchen and learn to balance income from one drink and one meal, and Cui Mei went with him. Murong Jun announced. To deal with this kind of thing, there is only fifty boards each, and if the board does not fall on Murong Qing, then Xu Huai still has to find other excuses to continue to make trouble.
Murong Qing couldn't ask for it in his heart, but he still suppressed it on the surface.
Murong Jun saw that the matter was basically resolved, and he didn't forget to make a joke: "Sixth brother, I heard that the imperial kitchen has always been a very 'oily and water' place, this time you just went to rectify and rectify, and the money saved can be regarded as your filial piety to the emperor." ”
"Hmph, then the old man wants to see how big the filial piety of the sixth prince is?" Xu Huai blew his beard and glared at him.
Murong Jun shook his head helplessly and announced his retreat from the dynasty. This is the emperor, this is simply a market vegetable market, and he Murong Jun is a rack.
