Temple of Light.

It's the Hall of Light again, and the magnificent hall is once again displayed in the eyes of Liuchuan Feng, and it is still so shocking.

The early morning sun shone into the vast hall, and everything seemed shining and divinely beautiful.

The court meeting opened as usual, and the emperor exchanged greetings with the hundred officials and then entered the daily question and answer session.

Liu Jing took a step forward and said loudly: "The minister has his own music." ”

"What?"

"Weichen occasionally got an account book, which recorded some not very good things, and I hope Your Majesty will see it."

Liu Jing obviously wanted the emperor to see it for himself, he thought about it for most of the night, and finally decided to take it out and put it on his face, even if he knew that the content on it was not necessarily true.

The eunuch took the ledger away, opened the package, and handed it to the emperor with the paperwork inside.

Liuchuan Xinghe looked at it for a while, he was furious, but a little unbelievable, he looked at the crowd in the audience, did not speak, but felt his angry aura.

What's the matter, Your Majesty? Why did you turn blue after reading that thing? Is there something wrong with us that causes him to stare at himself like this?

This is the feeling in the hearts of the ministers, one by one silently, looking at others with their spare eyes to see their reactions.

After being silent for a while, Liuchuan Xinghe said lightly: "Why didn't Zhong Aiqing say a word? ”

Of course, no one will come up at this time, otherwise it will be unpleasant for himself, even Rukawa Kaede is silently standing in place, looking at his nose and nose, he has some guesses, there is something wrong with this ledger.

"Humph!"

With a cold snort, the emperor with an angry face focused his eyes on He Fang: "Lord He, you can explain and explain, what is going on with your roster and account book of the Ministry of Rites?" ”

He Fang looked very frightened, he stood in the center of the main hall, and said, "Back to Your Majesty, these written things are all done by Lord Mi, and Wei Chen doesn't know much about it. ”

Mi Zhu, who had already colluded with him, looked very calm, and he came out and said, "Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with Lord He, it is all the fault of Wei Chen. ”

"Negligence?"

The emperor replied coldly, such a big mistake, you want to bring it over with a single mistake? You really know how to use words, he thought to himself.

"This is some of the relevant etiquette matters recorded by Weichen, which also has the corresponding officials and specific amounts, but this is all in line with common sense, all of them are formal ways, a few days ago Weichen was drunk and lost his words, which led to the leakage of the news of this account book, and was robbed by thieves, I don't want it to be in the hands of Lord Liu, and I didn't keep the important documents of the court, and Weichen's crime is also." Mi Zhu said.

"Really? I don't know that your Ministry of Rites still has a lot of rules! Even the princes have participated, including the Taishi and some ministers who are far away from the government, you can explain it well. ”

Mi Zhu was confident and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Liuchuan Yunshizi, because of the hardships of the students who came to Beijing to take the exam, in order to reduce their burden, he specially built the 'Shiziju' for their temporary residence. ”

"This is what I've heard as well, but does it cost a little scholar to live in a house for eleven thousand taels of silver? Are you the ones who paved the floors with gold? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the reason why the fee is so high is mainly because of the precious calligraphy and paintings and garden landscaping, and the prince of Liuchuan Yun specially instructed to treat the scholars well, so all the decorations and furnishings are made of high-quality materials."

Mi Zhu replied, in fact, it didn't cost more than 10,000 taels of silver, but half of it was there, and of course these were privately divided between him and He Fang.

"Even if you are right, what about the other son? It cost 20,000 taels of silver! The Emperor continued to ask.

"His Royal Highness Liuchuan Yushizi settled in Jiangnan, wasn't it a flood in Jiangnan some time ago, at that time, in order to save people and appease the victims, a large amount of silver taels were needed, and it was not enough for him to put almost all his belongings into it, so he applied to the imperial court for 20,000 taels of silver for disaster relief, which can be testified by the local Taishou and the people."

Although the words are good, it is estimated that no more than 8,000 taels of silver really fell into the hands of the people, and the rest were divided and swallowed by them.

"I don't know! Don't you know how to warn me of such a big silver tael! The Emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, He Shangshu mentioned it to you before, but you seem to have drunk too much, and the disaster is urgent, so this matter is like this." Mi Zhu said aggrievedly.

"Humph! So what's going on with the Taishi? He has always been honest and honest, how could he spend so many silver taels? ”

"The eight thousand taels of silver in Master Jiang's name were lent to the master." Mi Zhu said, this time it is the real thing, the Taishi is the Taishi after all, and they don't dare to mess around.

"What about the Queen?"

"The queen's nine thousand taels were exchanged for some of our Dalie's rare and precious things, which were gifts for her granddaughter, Princess Lechuan Eve, and also to make the Dafan Empire feel our friendship."

"Well, she mentioned it to me once, but she didn't expect her to use so many silver taels, what a loser." The Emperor muttered to himself.

Then, Mi Zhu explained the larger amount of expenditure items in the ledger one by one, so that the emperor could not find fault with them, but the money of several ministers who were known to be clear was somewhat unclear, which made him very disappointed, and he ordered a thorough investigation of these courtiers.

Rukawa Kaede faintly felt that although these things seemed to be invulnerable, he always felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't come out to say anything.

Although the floods in Jiangnan have disappeared, the situation of the victims is still grim, and even many rebels and rebels have become the climate, and a few forces have even developed a certain scale and system, and have become veritable warlords.

Yan Ku didn't elaborate on these things in the letter, and Rukawa Kaede didn't know it very well, but someone in the court today brought up this matter, so it made him feel a little bad, and he planned to write back to Yan Ku and ask him what the situation was.

This court meeting ended in a completely different mood, some people were happy and some were sad, of course Rukawa Kaede couldn't be happy, he walked back, recuperated, he decided to deal with his body first and then go to the harem to visit the beauty in his heart and get the poor worm in the prison out.

——

The time dimension is June, and the ordinal number is the end of summer.

Shiziju has already been inhabited by scholars from all over the world, and August is autumn, and some of them are in distant places, so as not to make mistakes.

Today the sun is just right, and the breeze is not dry.

The scholars either had lupine scarves or straw sandals, cloth clothes or luxurious robes...... They were all gathered in a pavilion in the bamboo garden, and the core surrounded by everyone was a young man with sword eyebrows and starry eyes.

There is also a brocade guard wearing a flying fish suit on the side, she is Gan Lin, after this period of hard investigation, it is said that Liuchuan Yun knows some insiders, and it is not the first time she has looked for him, but unfortunately the other party has been tight-lipped about it, and it is not the matter of the princess in advance.

"I'm in a good mood today, and everyone is quite here, why don't you do something fun to pass the summer heat?" Rukawa Yun sat at the round table, sipping tea and saying to everyone with a smile.

"Yun Shizi said it well, with such a beautiful day, how can you be without poetry?" Said a teenager dressed as a playboy.

"Yes, the lotus flowers in this small pond are also blooming, why don't we have a poetry conference, and the first place will be rewarded by me." Rukawa Xue said that she is Rukawa Yun's younger sister and prefers to play with him and these literate scholars.

"Yes, the top three are rewarded, I will be the referee myself, everyone will play their own role, who will start first and bring a good luck?" Rukawa Yun said with a smile.

"Then it's up to me, I'll use this pond as a theme."

The playboy immediately stood up and walked to the front of the pavilion, looking down at the clear pond below, his eyes full of thought.

"Brother Tang Mao is known to be a great talent, and he must have a peerless masterpiece, you might as well talk about it and listen to it with you, maybe this first will fall into your family again." There was a teenager who flattered.

"The grass by the green pond is free, and the fish are free in the water. Lotus rain, happy Shizi residence. ”

"Okay, Brother Tang is really talented, and the export is a chapter, not bad." Rukawa Yun praised.

"The prince of the world is too famous, but Xiao Daoer, the imperial examination is a big deal." Tang Mao said.

"That's the case, but poetry is also a big deal, don't be sloppy, which of you can catch this pond poem of Brother Tang?" Rukawa asked.

Everyone also began to chant poems against each other, one by one with gorgeous rhetoric, but some of them were really bullshit.

"Wind and snow, beautiful rivers and mountains, beautiful scenery and beautiful people as companions......"

These are the words they used next, and they talked about it, and in their mouths, the world was peaceful, as beautiful as a prosperous dynasty......

"I'll come."

At this time, Liuchuan Xue stood up, she was very disdainful, and her eyes were full of elegance and pride. However, the hundreds of scholars present did not make any dissatisfaction because of her arrogance, but began to brag about her beauty and talent, and remained silent and respectful before she spoke.

She ignored the crowd and muttered, "The lotus flowers bloom one by one, and the fish come in flocks. Don't envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I only want to live freely in this life. ”

The crowd applauded loudly and gave wonderful explanations and compliments.

"Snow Princess said well, people live for a lifetime, and freedom is the best destination."

"Yes, although the words are plain, but the meaning is lofty, what a good poem! can intersect with Brother Tang's "Pond". ”

"Yes, yes, not only does the Snow Princess look like a fairy, but I didn't expect even the poems to be so good, it's really amazing."

Tang Mao smiled faintly, and said politely: "The Snow Princess is naturally brilliant, and she is willing to admit defeat and be at ease, which is an extremely profound realm." ”

Rukawa Xue, who was dressed in a white dress, was like a victorious rooster, swaggering, and snorted coldly disdainfully, as if he didn't put these people in front of him in his eyes, and everyone was embarrassed.

Liuchuan Yun scolded her, and also said a little to everyone, he is a person with great ambitions, subduing the hearts of the world's scholars, and that big thing is half done!

So the two of them are so red-faced and black-faced, scholars usually want to save face, they all cast a grateful and respectful look at Liuchuan Yun, and they agree with him in their hearts, after all, a prince of the family, with a noble status, it is rare to lower his body to apologize to himself, and some of them are even planning to help him become the emperor in the future......
