Chapter 551: The Emperor and Qianqiu

Today, several prime ministers stayed until sunset from the morning dynasty to the side hall of the vertical arch hall, discussing how to implement several important decrees and how to deal with several natural and man-made disasters that caused headaches. Of course, the most important thing is that the Northern Yan rebellion was quelled, and the Northern Yan Emperor returned to Shangjing, and at the same time issued an edict against himself.

For the Northern Yan, who has always attached more importance to military power, and the Northern Yan Emperor, who has always swept away all opponents with extraordinary strength since he ascended the throne, this is very abnormal, enough to make the Great Wu Junchen worry that the north will not give up after the rebellion has just been quelled, and still want to go south to the Central Plains. Therefore, the various possibilities and countermeasures alone are enough to discuss seven or eight types.

Therefore, the emperor had just watched a group of prime ministers leave, and before he had time to take a breath, he couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Yue Qianqiu asking to see him. You must know that Yue Qianqiu does not have a fixed job now-the one who was barely lacking in the past was also given to the little girl Zhou of the White Lotus Sect - and, when the sun was setting, what did Yue Qianqiu run to say?

For the sake of Xuanwu Ze robbery? For the so-called poisoning murder of the Jin Palace? That should have come a long time ago, how could it have dragged on until now?

The emperor didn't bother to think about it, nodded straight and ordered to be seen, and after a while, he saw Yue Qianqiu rushing to the front, and without saying a word, he bowed down and sang a big song.

"Your Majesty is well."

"It's not good at all to see you! Tell me, what's wrong, so that I have to be prepared? ”

"Uh......" Yue Qianqiu straightened up and said with a face full of grievances, "Your Majesty, I haven't entered the palace every time for bad things, didn't I have good things or good advice to you before?" ”

"Well, once in a while, but your good advice scares people to death every time." The emperor didn't take Yue Qianqiu's pretending to be pitiful at all, Dong Dong tapped his fingers on the table twice and said bluntly, "While I am mentally prepared, you say, what's the matter?" If you can agree, I will agree, and if you can't, don't stalk and fight! ”

Although the emperor's tone seemed very unpolite, and even a little impatient, Chen Wuliang on the side knew that this Son of Heaven had always been a gentle and tolerant monarch in front of the officials outside, that is, he would have such an easy-going and informal attitude towards the people close to him. He gestured to the rest of his chamberlain and attendants, and then put a plate of snacks in the emperor's hand.

After counting the hour, it should have been dinner...... Yue Qianqiu's kid is a snack, so he can't see it, touch it, and can't eat it, it should be a long story short, so as not to delay the emperor's meal, right?

Chen Wuliang, the loyal slave of the Son of Heaven, knows a little bit of caution, and the emperor knows it, and the more he will ...... I also know it. After all, he and the chief steward are really familiar with each other. Seeing that plate of dim sum, he had been taking stock in various shops all day today, and even used a little casually for lunch, he immediately felt a rumbling in his stomach, and then lowered his face.

But he at least knew that he really wanted to eat at this time, although the emperor might not give it, but it was too casual, so he could only say hungry: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin gave me something and asked me to hurry up and help him find a nephew." ”

This opening remark successfully aroused the emperor's interest, and he immediately put down the hand he had just stretched out to pluck the snack, and asked thoughtfully: "I handed over this matter to your master before, but I didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to still stare at you." So how are you going to help him find it? ”

Finding that the emperor obviously didn't care about sending things, Yue Qianqiu laughed dryly: "I don't have a clue how to find me, after all, I don't even have a clue." But does the emperor know what His Royal Highness the King of Jin sent me? There are a total of eight well-known old shops in Jinling, and I took a rough inventory today, which is worth about four or five hundred thousand taels, that is, four or five hundred thousand yuan, four or five billion yuan. ”

Yue Qianqiu converted it with different units, and the last number successfully made Chen Wuliang gasp. It is true that the king of a country is rich all over the world, and the annual expenses for the internal use of the Son of Heaven are definitely more than this number, if Xiao Jingxian has this kind of family background in Beiyan, it is nothing, but people have secretly accumulated such a family background in Dawu, it is completely different.

This means that Xiao Jingxian has been quietly operating in Nanwu for a long time, and this person has long wanted to come from Beiyan to Dawu!

The emperor also lost the bit of banter just now, his fingers involuntarily rubbed the armrest, and after a while, he smiled dumbly and said: "Xiao Jingxian is a person who really likes to be unexpected. It's just that Qianqiu, if you come over and report this matter to me, aren't you afraid that Xiao Jing will know about it first, and turn around and turn against you? He went crazy, and Emperor Beiyan wanted to give him three points, so why did you bother to provoke him? He gave it to you, and you accepted it with peace of mind, could it be that I would still be thinking about this money? ”

"Instead of letting the ears report to the emperor, I should talk about it first, and besides, I also have my own thoughts."

Yue Qianqiu didn't care about beating Shen Zheng into an ear, and then said with a smile: "I am the grandson of my grandfather, the ninth son of the third generation of the Yue family, the generation is young, and the Yue family has not been divided, what excuse do I use to accumulate private wealth?" Now I am so hateful, if this matter spreads, whether it is the Yue family, the central government or inside and outside, wouldn't the people who already looked at me unpleasant be even more envious, jealous and hateful? Moreover, it is not one shop, but eight, and I deserve such a gift. ”

Chen Wuliang, who was standing behind the emperor, nodded secretly, thinking that it was no wonder that the emperor was very relieved that Yue Qianqiu and King Li Yiming were mixed together. With such a smart and clear companion, but who knows how to be measured, that prince is really much more sensible over the years.

The emperor also said approvingly: "If all the people in the world can be as ungreedy as you, then there will be a lot less strife." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's compliment. It's just that I don't want the things sent by others, and I don't want to say anything about the kindness of others, with the temperament of King Jin, maybe I will be annoyed and angry. However, after he arrived in Jinling, in addition to the officials and the palace, he had just a little money, and he also raised so many people, and these things were given to me, wouldn't he sit on the mountain and eat nothing? Therefore, this requires the emperor. ”

The emperor couldn't help but laugh when Yue Qianqiu said: "Oh, I didn't think that I could still help with this matter?" ”

"It's very simple, the King of Jin borrowed my hand to dedicate the industry that he had operated in Dawu over the years to the emperor, so as to show his loyalty to Dawu. And the emperor deeply felt the sincerity of the king of Jin, and returned these things to the king of Jin as they were, so that his family could recuperate. In this way, these industries, which were originally not visible, have passed the clear road. ”

The emperor's eyes magically stared at Yue Qianqiu up and down, left and right, and finally laughed: "Let me say what is good for you?" Since Xiao Jingxian is willing to give you something, maybe it is to leave a way back, maybe there are other plans, you obviously agreed to accept it, but you went around in such a big circle to return it to him, and you may risk offending him, is it worth it? ”

I don't want to either, but who let this evil fate continue to break more and more, and now it is getting deeper and deeper!

Yue Qianqiu sighed deeply without pretending at all, and then said word by word: "The hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people is short, when I was in Beijing, there was no way to get entangled with Emperor Beiyan and him, and now that he has come to Dawu, I just hope that he will be honest and don't be a moth." I tossed like this, everyone knows that the emperor is a Ming monarch, he is a loyal minister, and he is good to the emperor. As for myself, it's just a loss of money that may not be a good thing in the first place! ”

Chen Wuliang saw that the corners of the emperor's mouth were hooked, and he was obviously in a good mood, so he simply joked: "So this is actually killing three birds with one stone?" ”

"That's it." Yue Qianqiu grinned as he spoke, and then said with a smile, "Moreover, I deliberately swaggered through the market today to take stock of those industries, just hoping that someone will help me spread the news, and it is best to come to me and King Jin for stubble." By the way, can I directly draft a recital from you, Your Majesty, so that it can be smashed in the face of some people at that time? ”

Such a child's play, another person didn't dare to mention it at all, but the emperor smiled and patted the armrest, and instructed Chen Wuliang: "Go, serve Qianqiu with pen and ink, and when he finishes writing, you go to file, this kid's right to play directly has never been put in a serious place, but it can be used at this time, but it finally lives up to the fact that I have favored him for so many years." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's favoritism!" Yue Qianqiu sang a big song again, and when Chen Wuliang walked away, he slid to the emperor's side, but he made a grimace, and then quickly grabbed a piece of pine nut cake and stuffed it directly into his mouth.

Before he could come back to the plate, he saw that the plate of snacks was suddenly handed directly to him. When he looked up and saw that it was the emperor, he couldn't be polite when he sneered, and after taking it, he stuffed down two walnut cakes, and then glanced at Chen Wuliang, who was still busy fiddling with paper and pencil over there, and quietly thanked him.

"You, why do you always starve to death and reincarnate?"

"I can't take care of it in a hurry...... Besides, I seem to be a little hypoglycemic......" As soon as the vague three words of hypoglycemia came out, Yue Qianqiu, who had not yet swallowed the food in his mouth, immediately coughed twice and explained, "I mean, I can't afford to be hungry, but I always forget to eat when I get up in a hurry." ”

The emperor didn't think it was wrong, but said with a smile: "At noon today, I left four prime ministers to eat in the hall, and those three were all in a proper manner, and they put down their chopsticks after a little dipping, only your grandfather, if no one is eating and munching." As a result, after staying up all afternoon, the three of them were all tired when they were younger than your grandfather, but he was in good spirits at his age. ”

Yue Qianqiu said with a smile: "Because the emperor is a benevolent monarch who is broad-minded and does not care about small things, so grandpa is not afraid that the emperor will blame him for the loss of honor, so I dare to be so presumptuous." ”

"I can let you eat without any scruples, is it Renjun? Then this Renjun is really easy to do! The emperor was so happy that the two strands of his beard, which were usually more dignified, trembled, and pointed to the young man in front of him and shouted, "Go and write your recital, and after you finish copying, if you can't finish copying, I won't give you food today!" ”

"Yes, yes......" Yue Qianqiu agreed seriously, but he went directly with a snack in one hand.

And Chen Wuliang, who was waiting at the desk over there, saw the emperor shaking his head and shaking his head, but he was smiling on his face, and he clearly didn't care about this lazy behavior, so he wouldn't remind or blame, and after laying out the big note, he handed the pen full of thick ink to Yue Qianqiu.

Although Yue Qianqiu, a six-rank official, almost did not go to court, and only a few times he went to the book, Chen Wuliang, as the most powerful henchman by the Son of Heaven, still did not leave behind every book, including the feasibility report of the Wuying Pavilion to run a school. At this moment, he was acting as a humanoid paperweight next to him, and he could read every word written by Yue Qianqiu clearly, and he unconsciously watched it.

In the past, when he only watched the music, he felt that the more Qianqiu was young, the word was quite readable, and now he saw that he was lifting the pen and moving the pen, and he saw that there was a lot of rules, thinking that Yan Xu had no practical role because he was the son of the eldest princess in the past, in fact, as early as the age of fourteen, he was sent to the famous people under the operation of the eldest princess to try the knife in the field, Chen Wuliang couldn't help but sigh secretly that there must be his apprentice.

But no matter what the literary and martial arts are, and what is the difference between Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu's background, it is also difficult to get in and out of the phase. It's a pity that such a smart and clever child has been there since childhood.

For Yue Qianqiu, who is familiar with the format of the recital, it took a lot of effort to write this draft of a total of four or five hundred words without adding points. He himself was not aware of the passage of time, and by the time he had copied it word for word, half an hour had passed.

And Chen Wuliang, who had been accompanying him, only noticed the sky at this time, and saw that the emperor had been sitting there thoughtfully waiting, and he couldn't help but hurry over. Before he could plead guilty, the emperor smiled and said, "The thousand autumns of the reincarnation of a hungry ghost can survive for so long, let alone me?" Tell him to pass the meal, prepare one more for Qianqiu, and let him go to the palace to feast. I was worried that when I saw him there, I would eat too much before I knew it. I can't digest it after eating so much for dinner! ”

Yue Qianqiu rubbed his wrist and stood up, and when he heard this, his eyebrows immediately fluttered: "The emperor who knows me is also." Thank you for your kindness! ”

In the early years, most of the food in the imperial dining room was those old tricks, the emperor couldn't help but eat what he wanted, the emperor did not rush to move elsewhere over the years, but set up a small room for his own food, Chen Wuliang personally pointed out an apprentice grandson to be responsible for purchasing, so the four dishes, one soup and two dim sum that came up at this time were placed in front of Yue Qianqiu, but they were also full of color and fragrance.

I don't know what politeness is Yue Qianqiu moved the chopsticks without saying a word, but after eating, his salivation at first sight of the dish disappeared without a trace. Because those imperial meals that look exquisite like works of art are really average, even a little lower than the level of Yuefu kitchen, and they are not as delicious as imagined.

In other words, it's similar to a lot of so-called molecular cuisine and Michelin, that is, it looks good and has an atmosphere.

After all, eating imperial meals in the palace is a higher grade than eating imperial meals in the Forbidden City in later generations.

Just when he secretly slandered that the king of a country was not as good as a gourmet, the emperor, who was obviously enjoying dinner outside, suddenly heard a little unexpected voice.

"Your Majesty, the outside world reported that the Jin Palace, the Eldest Princess's Mansion...... It seems that they have all entered the thief. ”

Hearing the last word, Yue Qianqiu only felt angry and funny. Some people are not looking for death, but ...... Stupid death!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly only heard the emperor's voice outside: "Qianqiu! ”

Yue Qianqiu, who was basically full, hurriedly got up and went out, only to see that the emperor had already pointed over with his finger.

"What you caused was done, go to the eldest princess's mansion to clean it up! If it weren't for you, how could the Eldest Princess's Mansion be crowded with a bunch of women today? ”

Yue Qianqiu was stunned. A bunch of women? He doesn't know any woman, what does that have to do with him?
