After Zhu Ping'an entered the office room, he did not boil water and make tea as usual, but sat at the desk while reading "Tang Taizong Li Weigong Asks Right", while waiting for King Yu to announce.

Sure enough, Zhu Ping'an only turned two pages of the book, and an attendant came to invite Zhu Ping'an to go to King Yu's study to discuss matters.

The name of Yuwang's study is said: Yuantang, engraved on the door plaque in gilt italics.

When he saw the name of Yuwang's study for the first time, Zhu Ping'an thought of the "I Ching" hexagram "The hidden dragon is in the abyss, and Tengbi is nine days". A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, and a prince who doesn't want to be an emperor is not a good prince. Zhu Ping'an believed that King Yu's name for the study "Yuantang" must have this meaning.

Yuwang's study is a three-bedroom room, a relatively rare layout of one front and two back, the front is the most spacious, the standard study layout, and the back is Yuwang's temporary living room, as for what the room is doing in the next room, Zhu Ping'an doesn't know.

However, Zhu Ping'an has heard that the innermost room is also a bedroom, but it is quite secretive, and I heard that occasionally there may be palace maids serving King Yu who are called by King Yu to make beds in it, and often more than an hour before their hair is messy and staggering......

"Tall, morning."

When he walked to the study, he encountered a high arch coming from another direction, and Zhu Ping'an took the initiative to bow his hand.

"Zihou, early." Gao Gong smiled and nodded, "Yesterday I got a new copy of Mi Fu's line of calligraphy, I heard that Zihou likes calligraphy, every morning to practice the pen, you can play with Zihou for more than a month. ”

"Really? Then I'll thank you very much. Zhu Ping'an's eyes lit up, and he thanked him.

After a simple greeting, he entered the study from the front of the high arch, followed by Zhu Ping'an.

"Chen Gaogong/Zhu Ping'an, I have seen His Royal Highness King Yu." After entering the study, Gao Gong and Zhu Ping'an bowed to King Yu at the same time.

"Master Gao, Zihou is exempt, please take a seat." When King Yu saw the two of them coming in, he quickly stepped forward and helped them up, and asked the two of them to sit down without courtesy.

"Your Highness."

Zhu Ping'an and Gao Gong thanked them.

Gao Gong sat down directly, and Zhu Ping'an said hello to Chen Yiqin and Yin Shidan, who arrived early, before taking a seat.

After the small cabinet arrived, King Yu directly dismissed the servants and strictly ordered no one to approach the study.

"Today, I invite you to come, and I think you all know the reason."

After dismissing the subordinates, King Yu paced to the chair and sat down tired, glanced around at everyone, and said hoarsely.

Yuwang sat very low, as if he was about to sink into a chair, and it felt like he had walked sleepless for three days and three nights, and still did not reach the end, and finally couldn't hold it anymore and collapsed halfway.

Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Yin Shidan, and Zhu Ping'an all nodded lightly.

Gifts.

Everybody gets it.

King Yu has not received the annual gift for three years, which is no secret in the government and the opposition, not to mention the subordinate officials of King Yu's Mansion.

"Yes, Lone is now exhausted, and to tell you, Lone now has less than a hundred copper plates left on his books." Yuwang leaned back in his chair, patted the seat handle gently, and confessed with an anxious and tired face.

Well, what does it feel like to be a dignified prince, who is worth less than a hundred copper plates left.

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he repaid deep sympathy for King Yu.

In addition, there is also a feeling that the end of the world has fallen into the world. King Yu has not received the annual gift for three years, and he himself has also been punished, and he has not received the money for two months, and this kind of zero money will last for ten months before it ends. Moreover, not long ago, Chaku had meritorious service, and was fined 160 taels of silver by the black-hearted Jiajing Emperor, if it weren't for Li Shu's support for him, he wouldn't even be able to make up the fine......

Of course, since opening Zhu Ji Fast Food, Zhu Ping'an's life has been much better.

Although Zhu Ji's store is not big, but the business is very hot, although it cannot reach the level of daily income, but every day to remove the cost of labor, ingredients and other costs, there can still be three or five taels of silver into the account, a month, much more than Yulu.

"Your Highness, don't worry, the minister will go to the household department today to urge him, and he has repeatedly not given His Highness the New Year's gifts, what is the reason. If the annual gift is distributed on time, why should His Highness be so worried. Hearing this, Yin Shidan got up and said angrily.

King Yu shook his head when he heard this, stretched out his hand and pressed down, motioned for Yin Shidan to sit down, and then laughed self-deprecatingly: "Master Yin doesn't need to go, the household department will not allocate funds." Gu had already sent three people to the household department yesterday to urge, and three times for three reasons, or pressure or delay, were not issued. Hehe...... Lonely, the son of the dignified son of heaven, feels like a joke, like a beggar in the household, begging again and again, being turned away again and again......"

The son of his own dignified son of heaven, who belonged to his own year, was detained for three years, sent people to the household department to collect it again and again, and was sent away like a beggar again and again, it was a big joke......

Smiling and smiling, thinking about it, King Yu felt powerless and uncomfortable in his heart, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help but moisten......

"As the saying goes: there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and His Royal Highness King Yu will relax."

"There are always more ways than difficulties, Your Highness, and don't be impatient."

Seeing King Yu like this, Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin hurriedly got up to comfort King Yu and cheer him up.

From Zhu Ping'an's point of view, Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin were like two old birds, comforting Yuwang, an injured young bird.

Zhu Ping'an is familiar with history, and knows that Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin are both in Yuwang, and they are also masters and fathers, both of them are sincerely for the sake of Yuwang, during the time when Yuwang Qianlong was in the Yuan, thanks to the two of them, otherwise Yuwang would have been out of the game a long time ago.

King Yu was in need of comfort the most at this time, and he couldn't let Gao Gong and Chen Yiqin specialize in the front, so Zhu Ping'an also got up with the two of them, and said with a serious face to King Yu: "The lord is worried about the humiliation of the minister, and the lord is humiliated and the minister is dead." Today, His Highness is frustrated, and the ministers dare not die, and they will share their worries for His Highness. ”

"Your Highness rest assured, the ministers will share your worries and solve problems for Your Highness." Yin Shidan also got up to comfort King Yu.

"Thank you, teachers." King Yu in Gao Gong, Zhu Ping'an and others under the repeated relief, a little calmed down a little, but it was only a little, as long as he thought that the current financial constraints could not even provide food, King Yu could not help but be at a loss, after speaking, he got up with a worried face and asked Gao Gong, Zhu Ping'an and others: "It's just that now the mountains and rivers are exhausted, three meals a day and can not be continued, and the household department does not issue annual gifts, what can I do?" I also ask the teachers to give me advice. ”

The people live on food.

When marching to war, the soldiers will mutiniate if they cannot supply military rations; It's the same thing when you put it in the palace, if the palace can't even provide three meals a day, how can you expect the officials and subordinates of the palace to work for you again.

How could King Yu not be worried.
