Lu Zhen easily walked away the dark clouds, and said proudly: "Such a barbarian who doesn't know the number of etiquette, and actually let a woman come out, it can be seen that it is vulnerable!" ”

There are subordinate officials around him who praise and say: "The adult swayed freely, but a few words made the woman ashamed of herself, no one in the Ministry of Rites has this means, the lower officials admire!" ”

Lu Zhen stroked his beard and secretly smug: "This woman is stupid, she should go to the household department, Xia Yuanji has a lot of things to do every day, and he is most annoyed by such pestering things, and he will definitely show her the way." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xia Yuanji was very busy, and after listening to Fang Xing's suggestion, he went back and convened a few subordinates who would not leak secrets, the purpose of which was to discuss whether Fang Xing's suggestion was feasible.

"My lord, the lower officials think it's feasible, those wealthy businessmen are not short of money! If it is tempted by profit, most of them will take the bait, and then we can reduce a lot of investment in the early stage, and we can be much more relaxed in the second half of the year.

The household department has to make careful calculations every year, and what they are most afraid of is emergencies, which means that they need to draw materials and money from other places to disrupt the plan.

"That's right! As long as someone starts, those wealthy businessmen will inevitably worry that they will not be able to get the store, and they will definitely scramble, and others will naturally follow up, after all, doing business and being an official is a truth, such as sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat! ”

At this time, being an official depends on your political performance, and it also depends on whether there is anyone above you.

If you don't have anything, you're going to apologize, and you're probably going to go further and further.

Xia Yuanji lowered his eyes and thought about it, and Zuo Shilang coughed dryly: "My lord, there is a lot of money and food in the household, and it may be possible to save a little bit!" ”

This is a sentence that strengthens Xia Yuanji's belief, he raised his head and said: "That's it, this official will go to find Your Majesty, and I have to find a few relatives who have recently clamped their tails." ”

Zuo Shilang was surprised and said, "My lord, Your Majesty won't make a move in this matter, right?" ”

Will Zhu Di make a move on this matter?

Xia Yuanji glared and said: "This official is dedicated to the public, even if Emperor Taizu Gao is here, this official dares to go!" ”

This is Xia Yuanji, only doing things, regardless of people!

After Xia Yuanji went out, Zuo Shilang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty only tolerates Lord Xia, if we dare to anger Your Majesty, tsk!" Go to prison! ”

……

Sure enough, when he arrived at Zhu Di, when Xia Yuanji said his request, Zhu Di's beard was windless, and he held the paperweight with his big hand and smashed it out hard.

Xia Yuanji's head tilted, the paperweight wiped his ears, and he raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is right to ask himself, Your Majesty throws the minister with a paperweight, and the surrender is not satisfied!" ”

"You're not convinced? Come! ”

"Your Majesty!"

Wang Fusheng came in with a knife and stared at Xia Yuanji. In his eyes, except for Zhu Di, everyone else can be killed!

Zhu Di's eyes flashed, the green tendons on his neck flickered, and when he saw that Xia Yuanji was still holding his neck and was not convinced, he said angrily: "Xia Yuanji, do you think I can't kill you?" ”

Xia Yuanji's eyes were firm, and he said with a posture of looking at death as if he were at home: "Your Majesty, if this matter is successful, the overall situation of the outer city will be decided, and the ministers dare not slack off, isn't it worth it to come forward with those honorable relatives?" The minister wants to suggest that Your Majesty give up all those useless relatives, it is useless for the country and the people, what good is it for such people to stay? ”

The big eunuch secretly smiled bitterly on the side, feeling that Xia Yuanji's approval of dragon scales this time was too much, and if he didn't get it right, he would have to go to prison.

"Get out!"

Zhu Di was looking for things everywhere angrily, Xia Yuanji was a good man who didn't suffer the loss in front of him, and said after saluting: "The minister is guilty, so go back and think of other ways." ”

Watching Xia Yuanji leave, Zhu Di got up and went around in circles, and even the big eunuch felt the murderous aura.

"This insult is like this, it should be killed!"

Zhu Di, who was huffing, didn't even approve the chapter and went to Wang Guifei.

Wang Guifei didn't need to look at it, just by listening to the weight and rhythm of the footsteps, she knew that Zhu Di was in a bad mood, so she got up and said, "Your Majesty is angry?" The state ministers and concubines don't dare to speak presumptuously, but there are six books in the court, as well as scholars, why don't your majesty take your time. ”

Zhu Di snorted, then sat on the wide chair prepared for him by Wang Guifei, took the teacup casually and took a sip, and then said in amazement: "Is it cold tea?" ”

Wang Guifei nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this is a new recipe from the Tai Hospital, with some medicinal herbs, and drinking it cold can better reconcile the body." ”

Zhu Di's anger is great, and the hospital has done its best for this.

After drinking it all, Zhu Di said hatefully: "That Xia Yuanji regarded me as his subordinate, and he was arrogant, and he actually wanted me to threaten a few relatives to do things for him, I really wanted to kill him!" ”

Wang Guifei sighed and said: "Your Majesty, that Xia Yuanji's concubine has heard Your Majesty say it many times, but she is a person who only knows how to do things, why should Your Majesty be angry for him?" It is a trivial matter to hurt the harmony between the monarch and the ministers, but it is a big thing if His Majesty's body is angry! ”

Seeing that Zhu Di's face was slightly softened, Wang Guifei sent him another cup of hot water to rinse his mouth, and only after serving him did he smile and said: "Originally, the talents in the court and China withered, and it was His Majesty who promoted them in an eclectic manner. Now they dare to admonish directly, in the eyes of the concubines, this is His Majesty's merit compared to Tang Zong and Song Zu! ”

Zhu Di stroked his beard, his face was better, and then he snorted lightly: "The former Tang Dynasty grovelled to the Turks, and was controlled by foreign races, and I don't like it. The former Song Dynasty abolished martial arts and allowed the literati to climb to the top of the emperor's head, which is not worthy of comparison with the Ming Dynasty! ”

"My Da Ming shouldn't be like this!"

Zhu Di's eyes widened, and Wang Guifei couldn't help but show a look of intoxication, and slowly fell on his lap, listening carefully to this man's words.

"The dignity of our dynasty's national power, beyond the ancient times, its control of the north and the west of the South Island, the Western Ocean, no Han harmony, no Tang alliance, no Song Dynasty's year-old coins, and no brothers' gifts to the enemy."

Zhu Di got up, helped Wang Guifei away with one hand, and the voice of exhalation was clearly audible, "My children and grandchildren should be like this, they are all guarding Beiping, whoever comes, just fight!" But you can't take half a step back! You can't even be a slave to your knees and steal your life! The backbone can't be bent! Can't bend! ”

"If anyone retreats, then he is not my descendant, and the whole world should abandon him!"

This voice was thick and powerful, and Wang Guifei only felt intoxicated, this is the most powerful man in the world!

The big eunuch glared at him when he saw that several palace maids were also fascinated, but he himself was also excited!

Zhu Di looked at the spring outside and said sonorously: "Zhan Ji has grown, even if I am gone, but there is Zhan Ji, the prince will not dare to be weak, otherwise he will ......"

This proud emperor couldn't tolerate the weakness of his descendants, let alone the surrounding countries that could compete with the Ming Dynasty, so he was willing to go deep into the grassland again and again, defeat those ambitious enemies, and let them dare not peep south!

"Someone!"

The big eunuch hurriedly raised his head, and Zhu Di said without any condensation: "Appreciate Xia Yuanji's brocade robe, and let people send it immediately." ”

……

Xia Yuanji returned to the household department, and Zuo Shilang hurriedly asked about the situation.

"This official thinks it's not a big problem, Your Majesty will definitely agree!"

Xia Yuanji said stubbornly, but Zuo Shilang knew that things were not very good.

If it goes well, then Xia Yuanji should arrange the follow-up when he comes back.

"Hurry up, this matter is done, and the days of Daming will be much better this year."

Xia Yuanji shook his head, forgetting about the quarrel that had occurred in the palace, and continued to deal with the affairs of the household department until he was interrupted by a sharp voice.

"Your Majesty rewards Xia Shangshu ......"
