On the morning of the second day, the emperor ordered Qi Huan, a cabinet scholar, to be the governor of Cangzhou, and concurrently served as an inspector, and went to Cangzhou to preside over the rebuilding of the embankment.

The amount of silver taels needed is communicated directly to the household, and there is no need to go through him, only the silver taels spent after the embankment is repaired and the whereabouts can be reported.

He also sent some people to assist Qi Huan and obeyed Qi Huan's dispatch.

Three days later, Qi Huan wrote that everything had been prepared and asked to go to Cangzhou to repair the embankment.

The emperor happily agreed, and ordered Lu Yuanfeng, the son of the general of Zhenguo, and a thousand Yulin troops to accompany him and escort Yin Liang.

……

"This Qi Huan is really a talent, in just three days, Xu Shangshu gave him two pieces of silver, I originally thought it would take at least seven days, but I still underestimated him."

In the Imperial Concubine's Mingyue Palace, the emperor who had stolen half a day of leisure was playing chess with Ke Xi, remembering Xu Shangshu's black face in the early dynasty, he was in a very happy mood, and couldn't help but chat with the prince on the side again.

Before the prince could speak, Ke Xi, who was playing chess with the emperor, was unhappy: "Father, play chess!" How can you get distracted halfway through! ”

Ke Xi was fierce: "Father, do you look down on me!" Don't go down, you and the prince's brother can discuss your political affairs! ”

Say put your hand on the chessboard......

Emperor: "...... Who did you learn from this Lai Pi look? ”

Ke Xi looked innocent and said, "Father, I don't understand what you're saying!"

The prince chuckled, and while fiddling with the chessboard that had been messed up by Ke Xi, he said: "Shan Qi Huan can ask Xu Shangshu to take out this silver within three days, and the people in the court are afraid that they will be impressed by Qi Huan, and they will not dare to underestimate him when dealing with Qi Huan." ”

In the past, whenever you needed to ask the household department for money, when did Xu Shangshu not push back? finally quarreled with him for ten days and half a month, and when he got the silver, it was indeed not half a point different from the silver he expected to get.

So under normal circumstances, everyone doesn't like to deal with Xu Shangshu very much.

Because no matter how good you are with Xu Shangshu, as long as you ask for money, Xu Shangshu will immediately turn his face and not recognize anyone!

The emperor was also very satisfied with Qi Huan, and at the same time he was a little curious, "I just don't know what handle Qi Huan has in hand with Xu Shangshu." ”

"Qi Huan, Erchen can't see through him, but he can't guess what method he used this time."

The words fell, and the last two chess pieces were also placed by the prince.

Ke Xi watched the chess game being restored by the prince little by little, and with the emperor's playful eyes, he decided to be angry with the prince for three days, the kind that was not good!

Ke Xi ignored the chess game that would be restored, pretended to be very interested in the topic that the emperor and the crown prince said, and asked, "Is this Qi Huan that my father said the same Qi Huan who is connected to the third yuan?" ”

Originally, he was just playing with Ke Xi to pass the time, and Ke Xi didn't play tricks once or twice, the emperor foresaw the current situation from the beginning, and put back the chess pieces that were still in his hand.

"It's that Qi Huan, did Pingle hear the prince talk about it?"

Ke Xi snorted at the crown prince and expressed her dissatisfaction with the prince's behavior just now: "Brother the prince is a busy man, where is the time to find me to gossip about those courtiers." ”

The prince smiled, picked up a piece of chestnut cake that Ke Xi liked and handed it to Ke Xi's mouth.

Ke Xi only hesitated for a moment, and then took the chestnut cake into his mouth.

Ke Xi sighed in his heart while eating: Who can refuse the temptation of chestnut cake!

Although she was angry, she couldn't get along with the chestnut cake.

After all, chestnut cake is innocent!

Emperor: "...... So who are you listening to? ”

Ke Xi still had the pastry in his mouth and didn't swallow it, and he couldn't say clearly: "At the emperor's grandmother." ”
