Shen Kang nodded: "Yes, remember, eldest sister, second brother, me, and Siniang, haha." Speaking of this, he suddenly slapped his head: "Eh! ”

Shen Ning raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?" ”

Shen Kang looked embarrassed and replied: "I forgot to buy a candy man for Siniang, when I left the village, my second brother and I promised Siniang that every time I returned to the village, I would bring her a sugar man." In a hurry to come back this time, I forgot to buy it, and Xiao Nizi must be displeased. ”

Shen Ning covered his lips and smiled, and said, "That's it, then I owe it, and I'll make it up next time." ”

Shen Kang scratched the back of his head and said with a smile: "There's no way to do it." ”

The car marched to Xianan Village, and Shen Kang and Shen Ning got off the car and walked. Seeing Ma Su and the village old man sitting under the tree at the entrance of the village chatting, the two stepped forward and saluted.

"Haha, Shen San, you kid is back!" Maucer said with a smile, taking a sharp drag on his cigarette.

Shen Kang said: "How is Ma Sue feeling lately?" ”

"Okay, very good." He replied with a smile, and then said, "Your mother just went up the mountain to bring them food, if you are looking for her, go directly to the mountain." ”

"Huh! Thank you Macer. Shen Kang replied with a smile.

Shen Ning said: "Ma Sue sit slowly, let's go to see my father and mother first." ”

"Okay, good boy, go ahead."

But at this moment, Runing Mansion is not calm.

The victims were surprised that when they woke up in the morning, the students in long shirts who helped them were gone!

Bai Zhifu was even more uncalm when he learned of this, he never expected that Shen Kang's children would be so righteous, and they worked hard for days to help the victims of Runing Mansion under his rule, and things had just improved, but they didn't take credit or ask for gratitude, so they left.

It wasn't until this moment that he understood why Luming Academy could stand tall, their students, their virtues, and the students who came out of their academy had to be praised for their integrity!

He can't let these kids pay for nothing!

At that moment, he put up a pen to ask the court to play for them and ask for credit.

At the same time, in Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Houxi has not been able to sleep for two consecutive days.

Just spent the winter, but heard about the disaster in Runing Mansion, as the king of a country, how could he be safe?

"Your Majesty, please let the concubine play a song for you?" Jin Xianxian is tender like water.

Zhu Houxi raised his eyes to look at her, couldn't help sighing, shook his head and said, "How can I have the heart to listen to the music, you go back first." ”

Jin Xianxian thought for a while, stepped forward to pour tea for him, and said softly while pouring tea: "The concubine doesn't know about the affairs of the previous dynasty, but the things in the mansion can be said a thing or two, I don't know Your Majesty, would you like to hear it?" ”

Zhu Houxi smiled, took the tea from her hand, and said, "Let's hear it." ”

Jin Xianxian said: "In a house, if everything has to be taken care of by the family, purchase, expenses, favors, and cooking porridge, won't the family be tired?" So, naturally, these people have to do their own duties. It is said that each performs its own duties, but there are ten people in one position, isn't that a waste? It is necessary to open source and reduce expenditure, firstly, it can save unnecessary expenses, and secondly, it is necessary to reduce bloated personnel, so that the family can see it at a glance, if something happens, you don't have to look at those people, you push me, I push him, so that the family can prosper. ”

Zhu Houxi listened, listened, and couldn't help laughing: "You are smart, you know that as a palace concubine, you can't participate in state affairs, so you changed your way to say it." ”

Jin Xianxian covered her lips and smiled, and said: "The concubine is from a humble background, she doesn't understand those big truths, she just wants to share her worries for Your Majesty, you are happy, and the concubine will be satisfied." ”

Zhu Houxi has read countless women, what kind of woman has not been seen?

But Jin Xianxian is different.

She is intelligent, gentle, cautious, knows how to grasp her own proportions, and even if she is favored, she will not conflict with any palace concubine, let alone interact with others. It seems that she is a flower of interpretation that has no quarrel with the world, which makes people can't help but feel pain, pity and pity.

He was an emperor and a man, and he took pity on the women who loved him.

He took Jin Xianxian's hand and said, "You're right, the court is bloated, and those ministers blame each other when something happens, which is the source of my troubles." The prefect of Runing Prefecture has done things neatly, and has stabilized the disaster situation, which is quite useful. After he passes the three exams, promotion is inevitable. ”

"It's those old ministers in the household department who will cry poor! The Ministry of Industry wants silver, the Ministry of War wants silver, and there is no one who is worry-free! ”

Jin Xianxian didn't say anything, just listened, always remembered his identity, and only smiled and said: "Your Majesty, there are also capable ministers in the court, so don't worry." The ginseng soup that the concubine cooked for you is going to be cold. ”

Zhu Houxi realized that he had said so much. He smiled and said, "Good fairy." He took the ginseng tea and drank it slowly.

The next day, upward. Ministers talk about things.

With the rising cigarette smoke, seven copper chimes sounded, and Zhu Houxi sat high in the hall.

Xia Yan arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, the governor of the salt land has returned to Beijing." ”

Zhu Houxi asked, "Oh? Have you found anything? ”

Xia Yan smiled: "Exactly." He sighed for a while, and then said: "The salt officials cover each other, and the salt that has been corrupted several times a year is not mentioned, and these salts are circulated, and they are related to Cao Yun, and they are circulated all over the country, and the specific people involved in the case have been seized, and the red book has been presented to Your Majesty, and your Majesty is asked to read it before making a decision." ”

How can Zhu Houxi not hate?

These people stole and stole it, and that was his Ming treasury!

He gritted his teeth and said, "Hmph, good! Well done! I'm going to see how many heads they have! As he spoke, he looked at the recital in front of him, and at this glance, officials from all salt-producing places were involved.

"Xia Yan! There you go! Hell-bouting! ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Yan Song quietly raised his eyes to look at Zhu Houxi, and then at Xia Yan, his heart was flustered, but his face was full of smiles, and he arched his hand and said: "Xia Ge Lao cleared the salt government, and this time he has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty!" ”

What is it?

Stick a needle in your face!

Zhu Houxi said whatever he was afraid of, Xia Yan smiled, but he was not angry, he only said: "Your Majesty is good at choosing, we are all used by Your Majesty, where is the credit?" ”

Xia Yan has been getting weirder and weirder lately, shouldn't he be angry and reprimand when he heard such words in the past?

Yan Song responded to all changes with no change, and said with a smile: "Xia Shoufu is benevolent and righteous, and the officials admire it." ”

Zhu Houxi knew much more than these ministers thought. He had seen the portrait sent by the Jinyi Guard, Yan Song knelt down to invite Xia Yan to a banquet, and he also saw Xia Yan angrily scolding Yan Song "The tail hangs down as a wolf, and the upper erection (Shangshu) is a dog." ”

He turned a blind eye to the struggles of these courtiers, because he could not lack any one side to contain his opponents, and he was happy to see their struggles, so that he could better control the situation and make himself feel at ease.

Zhu Houxi squinted at the two of them, snorted, and said, "They are all humerus of the country, so don't be humble to each other." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." The two bowed and did not dare to say a word more.
