The ministers were silent, and Lord Zhou, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, frowned: "The emperor only said this?" Another scholar of Wenhua Palace, Lord Yang, pondered for a moment: "This is only half of what I said, it's hard to guess." ”

The three halls and three pavilions, in the Tianyou Dynasty are the head of the civil officials, and the prime minister is side by side, and his protégés are all over the world, so the attitude of these two scholars basically represents the attitude of the entire court.

Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, was promoted by the new emperor when he ascended the throne, and this time he followed several Shangshu from the six ministries to speak together, and most of them did not open the face of their colleagues. At this time, seeing the two scholars groaning, Lord Zhao relied on his youth, his legs and feet were sharp, and he caught up with Sixi in a few steps, grabbed Sixi's sleeve, and stuffed a heavy bag of silver into Sixi's sleeve.

"Hey, Father-in-law, don't go, I haven't finished saying this yet." Lord Zhao firmly grabbed Sixi's sleeve and didn't let go.

Sixi touched the sleeve of the falling hand, and said in a dragging voice: "What is this for, our family is just passing on an emperor's message, if you adults have anything to say, then you have to go to the emperor, it's useless to find our family." ”

Lord Zhao smiled hehehe: "Look at what Father-in-law Xi said, in addition to the Queen Mother, who else in this world can understand the emperor's meaning better than Father-in-law Xi." ”

At this time, all the ministers who came back to their senses also hula and surrounded Sixi's way, and said in a gossiping voice: "Father-in-law, what does the emperor mean by this?" ”

"Father-in-law, will this seat continue to be sold or not?"

Sixi and the other ministers' inquiries came to an end, and only then did they show a sad expression: "Scholars, generals, scholars, scholars, you are all the pillars of the court, a member of the first rank, and the emperor's arm. And you, Fellow Young. said that the emperor's policy towards southern Xinjiang is too harsh, and he should be more than Zheng, as well as your general Wuda, this matter of grain and grass. When you go to court one day, don't mention it in front of the emperor? ”

Scholar Zhou frowned slightly, and stroked his beard: "The old man is not wrong, if the emperor does not change, the old man will admonish him again tomorrow."

Scholar Yang said coldly: "It's not wrong to say it in the next, under the harsh government." If the people are uneasy and the people are not happy, the officials will force the people to rebel."

This adult really dares to say, Sixi glared at Scholar Yang, and turned to General Wuda, who is a military general and doesn't know how to speak, but he just smiled and said: "General Ben naturally wants to talk about it every day, otherwise what will our sons and daughters on the front line eat." ”

Sixi took a breath: "Ladies and gentlemen, you know why Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites and Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Households. Didn't you come today? ”

Lord Zhao said: "I know this, Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites is old and old, and it is not very convenient, and Lord Zhang of the Ministry of Household Affairs is busy with official business and can't get out." ”

Sixi sneered: "The Ministry of Rites is a big family that spends money every year, and Lord Wang is indeed old and old, and he is a few years younger than Scholar Zhou. Can Tobe Zhang-sama not be busy? ”

Obedient and listening, several ministers couldn't help but show a deep look when they saw Sixi repeatedly mentioning the matter of silver.

In the end, the Zhou scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion were full of poetry and books, and they had been in the court for many years. He realized the taste first, and said hesitantly: "Hello father-in-law, but there is a problem with the treasury?" ”

Sixi's face turned pale: "What treasury, Scholar Zhou, our family is just a small servant, what treasury is not treasury." We don't know. ”

Seeing that the faces of several ministers were ugly, Sixi smiled slightly, took out the invitation from his sleeve, and shook it: "All the adults have received this invitation, right?" ”

"Not bad"

Seeing this invitation, Scholar Zhou's face sank, isn't it because of this invitation that this incident started today?

"Do you know that eighty percent of the income from the silver of this seat is going to the treasury?" Sixi continued: "Not only that, but eighty percent of all the profits of this flower god meeting must be handed over to the treasury. ”

"The god of flowers, will there be any gains?" Lord Zhao of the Ministry of Industry said in surprise, in his impression, isn't this annual cocktail party and banquet a place to smash silver?

Sixi smiled lightly: "Otherwise, why do you think our emperor would let the people host the flower god meeting this time?" Is it just for the sake of freshness? ”

Sixi saw that all the adults showed a thoughtful look, and lightly added a handful of firewood: "What about this first-class seat, it is only limited to ten seats, ten seats, my lords, even if the emperor is happy with the people and summons ten people, why not, not to mention that this move is beneficial to the country."

Scholar Yang heard a little taste: "Father-in-law, do you mean that these ten seats are extra?" Not in the seat of the Flower God Society of the past? ”

Sixi laughed: "Naturally, don't you adults still think that you have to spend money to buy seats?" The seats of the adults have naturally been arranged a long time ago, and this new seat is actually prepared for those who have show girls, during this draft, who is not willing to sit forward, so that the emperor can see it clearly, but this seat is limited after all, and the net worth of the show girls is almost the same, you say that this is to arrange who and not to arrange whom? Therefore, Boss Shao came up with such a solution, one is to generate income for the country, and the other is to seek fairness. ”

As soon as he said this, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that they thought badly, and the powerful people were angry for a while, mainly thinking that their favor was now going to be bought for silver, if the silver was not enough, wouldn't it be that the favor was not there, so how to do it.

Sixi coughed lightly: "Everyone, the seats are limited to ten, how expensive is it, we don't need to say it, look at the enthusiasm of your adults, let's reveal one more thing, I heard that at the beginning of the afternoon, a businessman paid 50,000 taels and bought a seat, what do you guess the emperor said?" "It's obviously 10,000 taels, but Sixi opened his eyes and said nonsense, saying 50,000.

"What did the emperor say?" Lord Zhao cooperated with the authentic.

"Your Majesty" Sixi glanced at these important ministers, and said slowly: "The emperor said that the case was good, saying that this son's loyalty is visible and commendable."

After speaking, Sixi stared at everyone meaningfully, turned around and left.

Lord Zhao didn't stop anymore, and looked thoughtfully in the direction where Sixi left.

Scholar Zhou and Scholar Yang glanced at each other, and suddenly arched their hands at the same time: "I suddenly remembered that there was something at home, so I said goodbye."

Scholar Zhou took the lead and walked out quickly, and Scholar Yang smiled and followed.

The two of them were still looking at Sven, and then looking at the Lord Zhao, who was already carrying a robe and a hat, and ran ahead at a trot.

Scholar Zhou sighed: "What kind of system"

Before the words fell, he was almost squeezed down by a group of martial artists who rushed up from behind.

"Reckless, reckless" Lord Yang jumped to his feet in anger, and several scholars pulled each other and ran outside the hall, shouting one after another: "Prepare the sedan chair, prepare the sedan chair"

Sixi, who was hidden outside the door of the hall, looked at this group of first-class ministers who had come back to taste with a smile, and rushed to go, before he took out the bag of silver from his sleeve and checked it: "Heh, this Lord Zhao is really generous." While smiling, he went to the emperor's Chengming Palace. To be continued
