Master Ma said: "General Zhou is so capable, he even looted a beautiful woman and came back, is this a plan to marry a few concubines?" ”

He said this with a gun and a stick, and anyone could hear that he was really deliberately finding fault. But the timing of the arrest is better, and as soon as these words are said, the weight is enough. What's the matter, you Zhou Xiaocao is so lustful, the emperor sent you on a business trip, and after you return to Beijing, you will go to your mother-in-law first, this lustful is also; Then, you also collected a few beauties along the way, this lustful two also. Although Meng Shengren said that "food and color, sex is also", but you are too blatant, right? This is in front of the emperor, in the Wenxuan Palace, which deals with political affairs, what do you want to do?

Zhou Xiaocao said: "What did Lao Ma say? There are still some secrets about the origins of these women, so I can't tell them to my face. ”

Master Ma immediately argued with reason, and even ignored the title of "old horse" that he hated the most: "Hmph, between monarchs and ministers, everything must be said to others, what is there to push?" It's clear that you have a ghost in your heart! ”

Liu Mingli also said: "Zhou Xiaocao, let's say, here are all people I can trust. ”

After saying that, I didn't forget to glance at Master Ma, I'm afraid this kid is not a person he can trust as an emperor, right?

Zhou Xiaocao said: "Then can I say it?" Emperor Qiqi, when he was in Xingyang, Weichen caught the local corrupt official Kang Boquan, and most of the silver taels brought back by Weichen were searched from his home. The people of Xingyang have two major disasters, one is the mountain bandits, but Xingyang Ling Kang Boquan. The mountain thief Kou collapsed after the imperial army drove over, and this Kang Boquan spent a lot of effort on the ministers to get the real evidence. Bring them to justice. Weichen cut first and then played, and had already executed Kang Boquan. Please punish the emperor! ”

Liu Mingli waved his hand and said, "Okay, that thing." I already know. Not to mention that Kang Boquan harmed the local people, he even dared to harm my army, but I heard that eight to nine out of ten of those thieves originated from the original Xingyang garrison. This is really called the official forcing the people to rebel. Under my rule, such scum has appeared, and it is not a pity to kill them! ”

"The emperor is wise!"

Although everyone's purpose is not the same, they are still in place in terms of timing the sycophancy, and no one is far behind.

Zhou Xiaocao had a wicked smile on his face. The heart said that Lao Tzu would have to pull a cushion when he died, so he said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the reason why Kang Boquan is so arrogant and unscrupulous is that he is the brother-in-law of Master Ma and has a backer in Beijing. ”

Liu Mingli tilted his head and said, "Oh? Is there such a thing? ”

Master Ma immediately blushed, he didn't dare to accept this charge. In ancient times, if one person sinned, he had to sit together. The son-in-law committed the case, and the father-in-law and brother-in-law were all unlucky. So ancient weddings were very careful.

Master Ma defended: "Your Majesty, Zhou Xiaocao is talking nonsense!" Where is Kang Boquan the minister's brother-in-law, and he is clearly the younger brother of an aunt of the loyal prince! ”

Liu Mingli smiled knowingly: "Oh, so that's the case. It has nothing to do with Ma Aiqing. It's just that this Kang Boquan seems to be bigger, no wonder he is so perverse. It's just that in my opinion, the prince broke the law. is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and Zhou Xiaocao is good at killing. Not only will I not blame, but I will also be rewarded! ”

Master Ma really wanted to slap himself in the face. This time, Zhou Xiaocao was encircled again. Do you think, Kang Bo is all about the cheap uncle of the loyal prince, does the emperor really not know the way? As soon as I say it here, it's not the same as someone making a small report to the emperor. In this court, as long as you are not blind, you can see that you are a die-hard fan of the loyal prince, and if you say it, as long as it is related to the loyal prince, in the eyes of others, then it can be conclusive. Anyway, Kang Boquan died in vain this time, not to mention, he will also be affected by the loyal prince.

Sure enough, Liu Mingli continued: "As my brother, King Zhong did not teach his family and relatives well, this is a crime of ignorance, and he will be punished and enshrined for half a year, and he will pass on the edict to the world to set an example." ”

Fines are trivial matters, and the property of the Zhongwang Mansion is not just dependent on the offerings allocated by the imperial court, if that is the case, how can you afford such a large family?

It's just that this edict to the world will be a loss of adults, and it will make those officials who were originally swaying from side to side stand on the emperor's side all of a sudden.

It's just that Master Ma is too optimistic, the emperor in the world is the Ninety-Five, and few people are willing to follow those who want to rebel. If it is really the loyal prince who ascends to the heights and shouts, and from this like a cloud, it can only show that Liu Mingli is really bad.

Liu Mingli said to Zhou Xiaocao again: "Zhou Xiaocao! ”

Zhou Xiaocao hurriedly lowered his head and responded: "The minister is here!" ”

Liu Mingli said: "You went to Xingyang this time, and got 30 million taels of silver for military expenses, which solved the urgent need of the imperial court, this is a great achievement, and you should be rewarded!" However, after you returned to the capital, you didn't report to me first, this is a crime of disrespect, and you should be punished! Today, I will spare you once, let you redeem your merits for your sins, and cancel out your merits, what do you think? ”

Zhou Xiaocao immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are terrified, and there is no dissent!" ”

Nonsense, didn't you see that Master Ma wanted to kill himself wholeheartedly, at this time the emperor was relieved, so why don't you hurry up and hit the snake with the stick, what are you waiting for?

Liu Mingli nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good!" Your merits and demerits this time are all due to the credit of Du Shangshu and others. After you leave the palace, you must find an opportunity to visit people and express your gratitude, do you understand? ”

Hey? It seems that the emperor still wants to explain some things to himself, and it is inconvenient to say it now, so he has to discuss it with Lord Du. I'll just say that the emperor's life has not been easy these days. The fact that Lord Ma could think of using military pay to make a big deal happen must be more than one end. I helped him solve the problem of military spending, but what about the other problems that followed? It has to rely on people like Master Du. Thinking of this, when Zhou Xiaocao looked at the white-haired Du Shangshu again, a trace of respect inexplicably rose in his heart. Such an old minister is the pillar of the court. Which is like himself, at most he is a little anxious, it is an appetizer, it is a dim sum, only Lord Du is a staple food like steamed rice.

Zhou Xiaocao kowtowed and said: "Minister Zhou Xiaocao thanked the emperor for mentioning something, and Weichen will definitely not forget to visit Lord Du." ”

Liu Mingli touched the armrest of the chair, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was asking them, and as if he was talking to himself: "As for those beautiful women?"

"Of course it was sent to the palace, do you still need to think about it?"

When the emperor speaks, who dares to interject? And this voice still came from the door, Zhou Xiaocao couldn't help but look towards the door, wanting to see who was so bold and didn't want to die? You must know that Lu Dao was hovering on the death line for a while just now, and he would not doubt at all that as long as he showed a little bit of inappropriateness just now, Liu Mingli would not mind killing himself.

At the door, a white shirt floated in, bringing bursts of incense. Zhou Xiaocao had long heard that incense was used to dry clothes in the palace, and it was true. In this summer, everyone else is sweaty at every turn, how can a girl be happy like this?

Liu Mingli said helplessly: "Minjun, why are you here?" I've got something going on here, so you should get out of the way first, okay? ”

In the whole world, the only person who can make Liu Mingli, the emperor, feel helpless and persuade him with good words, is afraid that there is only his sister-in-law, Princess Minjun. (To be continued......)
