"Old Summer Palace...... After taking the name of the Yuanmingyuan ......", Zhu Youxiao still felt very satisfied, and repeated it twice in his mouth, patted Yue Su's shoulder, and said: "Aiqing is really my humerus, and any problem can be solved when it comes to Qing." Without you, what can I do with my country? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. By the way, Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, and he still wants to start playing. Yue Su bowed and said.

"Don't be rigid, just say anything." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile.

"The minister inspected Henan this time, investigated and dealt with many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, copied and killed many local tyrants and inferior gentry, their family property was used by the minister for disaster relief, but it was not exhausted, there are still 380,000 taels, all have been brought back by the minister, and now they are outside the palace, and the emperor will be sent down." Yue Su said.

"Ah...... Hahahaha...... "After listening to Yue Su's words, Carpenter Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "When others go to disaster relief, they all spend the silver of the imperial court, but I didn't expect Aiqing to go to disaster relief and earn me silver." Good, good, I didn't praise you in vain, you are really my humerus! I swore on the same day today that I am willing to be a pair of eternal monarchs and ministers with Yue Aiqing! ”

"I don't dare." Yue Su hurriedly knelt down and said, "How can you dare to be so important to Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will retract what you just said." ”

"No jokes! Does Aiqing want me to be a faint king who lives up to his word? Zhu Youxiao said, dragged Yue Su up, and said: "You are virtuous and capable, of course you can get my respect." ”

Seeing the emperor say this, Yue Su was grateful, and hurriedly knelt down again, "Your Majesty is gracious, and the ministers will repay with death." The minister also swears here, willing to be Your Majesty, willing to be my Ming, bow to the end of the death! ”

"How to say a word, you just kneel, tired or not. I believe your words, get up quickly, if you kneel again, I will be angry. After speaking, Zhu Youxiao reached out again and helped Yue Su up. Then he said: "Aiqing, sit with me." ”

The two sat down to the side, Zhu Youxiao picked up an apple, handed it to Yue Su, and said, "Aiqing, eat." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youxiao also took an apple for himself, put it to his mouth, and said, "Aiqing, eat together." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The two of them ate in large gulps, as if there were no outsiders.

The apples eaten by the emperor are naturally the best. Zhu Youxiao knew that if he wanted to give it to Yue Su or not, he borrowed Yue Su's two guts, and Yue Su didn't dare to do it himself. After the two of them finished eating the apple, Zhu Youxiao said: "The 380,000 taels of silver you sent, leave 360,000 taels as internal money, and leave 20,000 taels as a reward." ”

"The minister didn't dare to ......"

As soon as Yue Su excused himself, he was interrupted by Zhu Youxiao before he could say three words.

"If you don't dare, this is my reward for you, tell you to take it, you will take it, there is no need to say more."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"That's what it sounds like. Okay, you and I will rest for a while, and then we will have another battle. Seriously, if you don't compete with me in Jingshi, I feel itchy. I haven't practiced much in carving, and when you come back, it's fine, and I can't find anyone to learn from. Last time, you won three bronze guillotins, and I am still unwilling, but fortunately, you lived up to my expectations and killed many corrupt officials for me. This time, I must win you. In the end, Zhu Youxiao's eyes were full of light, obviously full of fighting spirit.

This emperor is stuck in the palace all day, not good at women, not good at drinking, just such a hobby, when there is no opponent, just play alone, with an opponent, don't you want to have a good competition.

Yue Su made a trip to Henan, which was hard work, and this carpenter's craft was also neglected to practice, so he was expected to definitely not be the emperor's opponent. In the past, it was a draw, and it was certainly not very good. After a little thought, an idea came to mind.

"Your Majesty, I remember the last time you told the minister that you wanted to develop a movable wooden man, and the minister has now come up with a way."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, and he looked surprised, and said, "Come and tell me how the wood moves." ”

Yue Su pretended to be dead in the carriage during this time, his body did not move, and his mind kept spinning. I thought in my heart that if I wanted to be a more eunuch in the emperor's mind, I had to at least come up with some new tricks. Didn't His Majesty say that he wanted to make a moving wooden man, and he pondered every day how to design a bearing that could make the wooden man move.

It's a time in time, don't look at the toys I didn't play with when I was a child in my previous life, but when I grew up, as compensation for myself, I still bought myself a transformer.

Thinking back to the appearance of that transformer, Yue Su really figured out a set of ways to make the wooden man move. At that moment, he told the emperor about his plan from beginning to end, and after he finished speaking, he drew a rough drawing and asked the emperor to take a look.

How smart Carpenter Zhu is, Yue Su said it again, and he probably had an idea in his heart, and when he looked at the drawings, it was even clearer. immediately said: "Okay, good, Aiqing is really a genius, I didn't see the wrong person." Come, come, come, let's first carve a wooden figure, but this wooden figure, the limbs must be spread. ”

Good guys, it's still better to compare.

The emperor said so, and Yue Su couldn't recommend it, so they went out with their own knives, chose wood, and carved them.

One is to practice every day, and the other is to fight for a long time, where can Yue Su compare to Carpenter Zhu, this time he was defeated, fortunately, the difference is not very much, and it is just a breath. Winning Yue Su, Carpenter Zhu was extremely happy, coupled with the method of making the movable wooden figure provided by Yue Su, he was really happy for a long time.

The emperor was happy, Yue Su was also happy, and he accompanied the emperor to do some work, and then he said goodbye and returned home. Carpenter Zhu was reluctant, but thinking that Yue Su had returned to Beijing and would be able to meet every day in the future, he was allowed. After leaving the Forbidden City and handing over the silver, Yue Su returned to Shuntian Mansion with the 20,000 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor.

The news of Yue Su's return to Beijing was already known throughout the city at this moment, and almost all officials knew about his trip to see the emperor. Yue Su took dozens of carts to the Forbidden City, and when he left, almost all the boxes on the cars were left there, what was in the boxes, most people also knew that the silver you copied in Henan was not handed over to the household department, but given to the emperor.

The officials became active, whether it was in public places, such as restaurants, scholars' houses, or private mansions, the big guys were talking about Yue Su.

There is definitely not a good word in the content of what is said, villains, ministers, and cool officials are all descriptions of Yue Su. However, this is all light, and the heavy one is stealing fame, stealing a high position, flattering and flattering, and bringing disaster to the country and the people. How can such a person be worthy of being called a man in Shilin, how can we be like him? When the court meeting tomorrow is held, we must join him in front of the emperor and in front of Yue Su, and we will not force the emperor to remove his official position, and it will never be finished.

All the officials are running around with each other, not only the eunuchs, but also those Qingliu who are alone, and everyone has only one purpose, when the court meeting tomorrow, do not pull you Yue Su off the horse, and swear not to give up. Participate in the twists and turns, the emperor can stay in the middle and scold in person, see what you do.

There was a lot of hustle and bustle all over the city, but there was one place that was quiet. This place turned out to be the mansion of Grandpa Wei. Today's guests came to the door in an endless stream, except for Tian Ergeng, Gu Bingqian, Cui Chengxiu, and Feng Quan, Father-in-law Wei didn't see one, and they all let the porter send them away.

In the flower hall of Wei Mansion, because of the small number of people, it seems very quiet.

"Duke, the big guy came to the door today, all to discuss with you, Ming said that the last dynasty impeached Yue Su's countermeasures, why did you close the door and not see you?" Father-in-law Wei has always been tolerant of all rivers, and today's actions are very abnormal, which inevitably makes people wonder. Feng Quan, on behalf of the other three, spoke his mind.

"What's the use of seeing it, it's useless to discuss it. The emperor's thoughts, can't you still see it, he didn't plan to deal with Yue Su at all. Impeachment is also impeachment for nothing, such a thankless thing, what do I do in it. Wei Zhongxian replied bluntly.

"Governor, that's what you say, but you have to do your best in everything. In this chapter of the impeachment of Yue Su, the emperor can stay in the lawless, and he will be impeached in person tomorrow, so he has to give an explanation. Didn't the emperor also say that he would wait until Yue Su came back and then deal with it. Gu Bingqian said.

"If the emperor wants to deal with it, he will already deal with it when Yue Su pleads guilty himself, so why wait until he comes back. However, the whole court is impeached in person, but it can force the emperor to give an explanation, but what the emperor wants to do, even I can't guess. Killing the head and dismissing the official, the old man thinks it is unlikely, at most, it is to demote and retain, or take the title of Shaobao, if you want other words, it is difficult......" Wei Zhongxian still understood the emperor, shook his head and sighed.

According to the Father-in-law, what is the difference between this disposition and non-disposition? Yue Su's fame was obtained by cheating, and it stands to reason that he is not qualified to be an official. Now that I'm in a high position, let me wait for these Kejia to come out, how can I be convinced. Cui Chengxiu's voice was a little louder, obviously really unconvinced.

Cui Chengxiu is not only the head of the Five Tigers under Father-in-law Wei, but also the adopted son of Father-in-law Wei, but he looks like this, he took the initiative to find Father-in-law Wei's door, kowtow and cry.

"Chengxiu, what you said is right, now the officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all thinking this way. Tomorrow, when the court meets, they will naturally say, you don't have to say anything, it's better not to even make a move. I will also follow the emperor to the court tomorrow, and when the time comes, look at my gestures and act, let a few of you say, a few of you will say again, and you will not be allowed to say anything, and you will not say a word. ”

"Yes, Governor." "Yes, father-in-law." ...... "What is the ending of tomorrow's court, there are not many variables, Yue Su is overthrown, it is the best, but the surname may be too small, let's not count on it." Speaking of this, Wei Zhongxian looked at Tian Ergeng and asked, "Ergeng, where is Ruan Zhenmei now?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, I have to report it today, saying that I have entered the ground in Henan, and I have calculated the distance, and I should be able to get to Zhengzhou today." Tian Ergeng said.

"Very well, are all the people the old man ordered to let go now?" Wei Zhongxian asked again.

"Yesterday it was here." Tian Ergeng replied.

"That's the right move, it's up to them." After Wei Zhongxian finished speaking, he picked up the teacup.
