Chapter 955 I don't give a penny

Yang Yi's palace is a long way from Taiji Palace, and even if he rides a horse, he has to walk for more than half an hour. However, there are almost no people on horseback in Chang'an, and unless it is an official emergency, even those gentlemen will not ride a high-headed horse to swagger through the market.

When Yang Yi had just succeeded to the throne, the Great Sui was still such an intoxicating and beautiful society.

The high-profile of the children of the family will definitely not be reflected in the flying and domineering, but in the secret competition between the same class. It is undeniable that those who come from famous families look down on ordinary people, but they will never show it stupidly. This is the difference between the children of the family and the scoundrels, in the previous dynasty of Da Zheng, maybe the two highly overlapped, but in the Great Sui it will not be like this.

Wu Yiyi changed into clean clothes, did not choose to walk, but spent five large sums of money to take a carriage through the city to the vicinity of Taiji Palace, and then sorted out his clothes and walked into this huge complex that he had entered for the first time.

"Stop"

Before entering the city gate, he was stopped by the people of the Ouchi Guard, and the Baihu of the Ouchi Guard, who was wearing brocade clothes, frowned and looked at Wu Yiyi, and then pointed to his right arm: "Take this off." ”

Wu Yiyi's right arm was wrapped in black yarn.

"No"

Wu Yiyi didn't have any explanation, just shook his head and refused.

"You can't enter the palace without taking this off."

"Good"

Wu Yiyi didn't argue anything, turned around and left.

As if nothing had happened, he returned to the palace the way he came, except that he did not take the carriage again when he returned, and walked all the way. When he returned to the palace, he changed his decent clothes, and then took from the little maid a little girl who could not speak the whole sentence, babbling excitedly and spreading her arms at the sight of him. Although the child is still so young, he looks exceptionally cute and pretty.

"Steward, didn't you enter the palace to face the saint? Why did you come back so soon? ”

He was asked a little girl who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old, the only little maid left in the yard today. Like Wu, she is also the person who was left here after the owner of this palace moved into the palace, whether it was when the palace was lively or deserted before, it seems that no one will be particularly concerned.

A large mansion is actually a microcosm of society.

Some people are favored, some people lose power.

Wu Yiyi didn't enter the mansion for a long time, shorter than this little maid named Xiu'e. In this huge courtyard, only Wu Yi and the three of them are left. The patrol guards in the mansion are not counted, they are the ones sent by the Ouchi Guards to guard a group of equally ineffective flying fish robes, and they almost have no intersection with the three of them.

A so-called steward, a daughter who is not yet a year old, and a little maid.

"Nothing"

Wu Yiyi shook his head and teased his daughter.

"By the way, stewardship...... They left without any money, and we didn't have much to offer. ”

Xiu'e glanced at Wu Yiyi with some sadness: "Your Majesty left so hurriedly when he entered the palace, and after hearing about this happy event, everyone else was just going crazy, leaving the two of us behind, and they didn't tell us how to solve the problem of food and clothing in the future, and where to get the monthly silver." ”

"I see."

Wu Yi fumbled through his cuffs for a while, and turned out some scattered silver: "You can use these first, and I will go to someone to ask about the silver." ”

Xiu'e glanced at the little silver in her palm, and after being silent for a while, she couldn't help but say: "We were just abandoned, and it sounds better to stay in the palace, but in fact, we are left here to fend for ourselves." When His Majesty entered the palace, all the people in the palace went crazy, and I don't know how many people fished in troubled waters and stole things. Now there are still some valuable ones in the house, and those flying fish robes are not strictly guarded, so it's really not good......"

"No, no, I can't."

Wu Yiyi shook his head: "You don't need to worry about these things. ”

Xiu'e opened her mouth, but finally just shook her head helplessly and walked away.

Wu Yiyi put his daughter into a wooden car, and her daughter could stand by holding on to the railing of the car. He pushed the cart to the shade of the trees in the yard and found scissors to trim the garden. His daughter was very well-behaved and played by herself in the car, not crying or making trouble. Such a small person is so lovable.

Wu Yiyi raised his head and glanced at the position of the sun, calculated the time, and then called Xiu'e over and asked her to carry her daughter to the house.

He sat down by the flower pond, and the muscles of his arms peeking out of the cuffs he pulled were beautiful.

"You know someone is going to come looking for you?"

Someone asked, not far away.

Wu Yiyi didn't answer, nor did he turn around: "I know." ”

The sound of footsteps came from behind to the front of him, and Wu Yiyi noticed that it was a man wearing the signature brocade robe of the Ouchi Guard, who looked about the same age as him. Medium-sized, not tall, not fat, white and clean, with somewhat collapsed eyebrows, but it does not affect his appearance.

"It's big and big, and it's small."

The man in brocade pointed to himself: "My name is Hou Wenji, a thousand households in the Ouchi Guard. What is big for you may become small after my report, and it can certainly become something bigger. So I hope you will give me a particularly perfect answer, perfect enough that I can please His Majesty without any embellishment. ”

Wu Yiyi didn't speak, and his face didn't change at all.

"I'm thinking, the reason why you entered the palace in the first place was because of your stinky virtue now, right? People like you are destined not to be liked by their own kind, and they are also capable, so whatever is destined to push you out, while your kind is sitting on the benefits. ”

Under Hou Wenji's seemingly lazy expression, there seemed to be some playfulness: "I heard that you used to be a businessman?" ”

"Now too"

Wu Yi opened his mouth and replied: "Those who take money to do things, no matter what they sell, even if they sell themselves, they are also businessmen." ”

"Makes sense"

Hou Wenji nodded: "Interesting...... I think people like you can be friends. ”

……

……

"How many years have you been in the house?"

The emperor, who was sitting cross-legged on the earthen kang of the Dongnuan Pavilion, glanced at Wu Yiyi lightly, and his gaze stayed on the black veil on his right arm for a moment. The new emperor ascended the throne, but the people who met the emperor wrapped black veils around their arms, which was a little unpleasant to the eye in any case.

"Back to Your Majesty, five months and four days a year."

"It's not too early to come in, who sent you in?"

The emperor said.

Wu Yi lowered his head: "The Great Prince"

He replied so naturally, without the slightest hesitation.

"Who in the family has died?"

The emperor didn't ask anything more about the eldest prince, but pointed to the black veil on his right arm.

"Wife"

Wu replied.

The emperor was silent for a while, bowed his head and continued to flip through the folds: "You should know that being stopped at the gate of the palace and not being able to enter may be a test of your ability, if you can't even pass this level, or miss a chance to change your fate." Not everybody, I will give a chance to explain. Not everyone can walk into my East Warm Pavilion. ”

"There are things to do, and there are things to do."

Wu Yiyi's answer was exceptionally simple.

The emperor seemed to be slightly stunned for a moment, and then raised his head again to look at Wu Yiyi: "When you entered the mansion, you came in with a purpose, and it is already lucky that a person like you did not die." The reason why I left you and the maid in the mansion is because neither of you has done anything too out of the ordinary. I clearly know who in the house is coming from and what I have done, so I am sure that those who die will not be wronged, and those who do not die are not indulgent. ”

"You say that you have something to do or not, then I ask you, why do you want to do things for the eldest prince?"

"Lack of money"

Wu Yi replied: "I lost money in business, and my wife was sick and pregnant. ”

"It may be strange for a person like you to do business without losing money."

The Emperor shook his head: "It seems that you are not the person I need. ”

When he said this, the emperor seemed to have really lost interest in Wu Yiyi.

"Doing business needs to be tactful, you need to judge the situation, you need to understand the general situation, and you need to look at the interests...... None of this has anything to do with you, you go. I have already commanded that the necessary silver in the house should be paid on time every month. ”

The Emperor waved his hand.

"How much money does Your Majesty need?"

Wu Yiyi suddenly asked.

I don't know what's wrong, the emperor really can't hate this person. Even if the emperor knew that this person had entered the mansion at the beginning, it was arranged by the eldest prince. Maybe it's because the two of them have something in common, or maybe it's Wu Yi's stubborn refusal to take off the black veil on his right arm.

"A lot"

The emperor didn't expect that he would pay attention to the man in front of him.

"Ministers don't make small money, they only make big money."

Wu Yi knelt down and kowtowed.

"How big?"

The emperor asked, but he didn't stop Wu Yiyi from claiming to be a minister.

Wu Yiyi lowered his head and replied: "There are two kinds of wealth, one is real money, which is actually easy to earn." The minister did lose money in business, and it was so bad that it was difficult to subsidize his family. But the minister remembered the character characteristics of each of the people who did business with the minister, and remembered the characteristics of each city he walked through. In fact, these are another kind of wealth, which are more precious than real money. ”

"Your Majesty, the first wealth can buy the second wealth, and the second wealth can expand the first wealth indefinitely."

"That's why you chose the Great Prince?"

The Emperor asked again.

"Yes"

Wu Yiyi's forehead touched the ground: "The minister didn't see it clearly." ”

The emperor couldn't help laughing: "Even I didn't see it clearly, let alone you?" Because this loss of money is a natural disaster, and it has nothing to do with people. ”

Su Bu, who was standing on the side of the earthen kang, looked sideways at the man kneeling on the ground, and then remembered the man's name in his heart. Wu Xiangsheng is a eunuch who wants to screen the twists and turns, so most of the time on weekdays, Su Buxing waits for the new emperor in the Dongnuan Pavilion.

"I'll give you an errand first."

The emperor got down from the earthen kang and walked in front of Wu Yiyi: "There is nothing too good about you, there are two things that make me very satisfied. First, you have your own persistence and don't change easily. Second, you know how to make trade-offs, and your eyesight is good. ”

Su Buxing also looked at Wu Yiyi, and said in his heart, how could this person see through the emperor's purpose of looking for him at a glance? And then have the audacity to ask Your Majesty, are you short of silver?

"I really need silver, and everything in the palace is now used by the savings of the original house, because I don't want people to say that I am extravagant behind my back, and I carefully plan to use the silver allocated by the household department, lest those officials let go of their tongues. But I don't want to lose myself to the people who follow me, so I want to get some silver subsidies. ”

"But ......"

The emperor glanced at Wu Yiyi: "I won't give you the capital, because I don't have any money." If you don't have the ability to get the money, then I will let you go back and continue to sweep the large courtyard of the palace. ”

"Don't give a penny?"

Wu Yiyi raised his head and asked.

The emperor nodded: "I won't give a penny." ”

Wu Yiyi was silent for a while and then said seriously: "Then this business needs to be done very much. ”
