Qiu Anren's stature is not low, a pair of long legs and a step away, the little waiter in the green shirt behind him can only keep up with the trot, he returned to his house in a few steps, and the smile on his face was subdued in an instant.

Seeing that Qiu Anren didn't have a smiling face, the little waiter stood aside trembling and didn't dare to speak, lest this master would be angry with him.

Qiu Anren's face was cloudy, and it took a long time before he slammed the box of pearl powder in his hand on the table.

This thing is expensive, and even the box containing it is a precious item of cloisonné enamel, and the little waiter is afraid that he will break this thing, so he shuddered suddenly.

Qiu Anren looked up.

His eyes slanted and raised, and he glanced at the little waiter in the green shirt: "What's the matter?" ”

The little chamberlain knelt down as soon as his knees weakened, trembled like chaff, and shrunk and said, "The slave and maid should die, the slave and maid should die." ”

Qiu Anren lifted Erlang's legs, and his tone was heavier: "Since you know that you deserve to die, why do you still beg for mercy." ”

The little chamberlain froze, obviously not expecting him to say such a thing, and fell to his knees at a loss.

Qiu Anren lowered his head, sneered "hum", and said, "Go and receive the punishment yourself, don't let me see you standing in front of me tomorrow." ”

The little inner servant did not give up, and went out of the door three times in one step.

Only Qiu Anren was left alone in the house.

He frowned at the two amorous sideburns, and the center of his eyebrows was twisted, and he looked at the distant mountains like Danqing, stretched out two slender and white fingers, and picked up the small box, as if he was about to throw the woman's household things to the ground.

After hesitating for a long time, I finally grabbed it in the palm of my hand.

There was a gold-inlaid glass mirror on the table, and he pulled it to his hand and placed it in his face.

He looked in the mirror and gently brushed his fingers over his eyebrows, the look in his eyes was almost sad for a moment, but soon, he laughed again, charming and misty.

He opened the small cloisonné enamel box, dipped a little bit on his hand, and wiped it off his face.

No one knows what Daheng's first favorite eunuch is thinking.

On the second day, above the court, Bai Fuchen sprinkled the red python pattern, and he was still the Yin Gong who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

Qiu Anrenfang loudly announced "There is a book to play, no book to retreat from the dynasty", and before everyone began to discuss the matter of Gan Cao, the newly appointed head of the household department Shangshu Tian Xin first grabbed the conversation with a straight face, and bowed down and said: "The minister has been in charge of the household department for more than a month, but somehow, many omissions have been found. ”

Empress Dowager Lin said in a deep voice: "There is such a thing, Tian Aiqing, please tell me." ”

Tian Xin thanked him and said: "Originally, port merchants, no matter how big or small, were required to pay taxes, which were no different from tariffs of 15 taxes and 1, but since the second half of this year, they have been changed to 10 taxes and 1 tax. ”

Empress Dowager Lin said: "Not bad. ”

"It's just ......" Tian Xin frowned, paused, and then said, "It's just that the ministers combed through the top and bottom, and found that there were mistakes in the tax accounts, and most of them were wrong...... On top of taxes and customs duties on the seaport. The minister thinks about it, this household has been a minister for a long time, and all of them have been carefully assessed by the emperor's mother and the ministers, and there will probably be no confused people who can't even do the accounts correctly, that is, it can be ......"

It can only be a mess left by Shan Hongguang when he was there.

After the crowd was pressed, there was a Tan Huaiyu standing with his head down, he seemed to want to move his boots, but after all, he held back, and said in his heart, Master Shan has been buried for a long time, and he still doesn't let it go, do you have to open the coffin and pull it out and whip the corpse?

There are many opinions in the court, and no one can say a reason.

Without waiting for him to think about anything, he only heard someone say loudly: "You have all heard the new school remarks before, the so-called 'industry and commerce are all the foundation, and the sea trade is prosperous', and now it seems that this has opened up the sea trade, which may not be the purpose of prospering the country." Gan Cao, as a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion and a new school, has to be said to be very familiar with the city boss who manages the Thirteen Ports, so ...... Most of the people who did not follow the words of the sages and established themselves, but went to learn the barbarian theory, are selfish, and Lord Gan is afraid that he is also making it convenient for himself? ”

Tan Huaiyu looked up, and saw that it was a man from the year of destiny who spoke, with a red face and a beard two or three inches long, who was a person he knew.

There are not many people in the cabinet, but surprisingly the old and new factions are fighting each other, this person is the old cabinet minister Wan Chengping, quite square, but he is a little old-fashioned, often does not know how to be flexible, and has always had some complaints about the exchange of contacts with foreign countries.

Tan Huaiyu opened his palm slightly, and was shocked to find that in the palm of his hand, on the wat board, there were cold sweat stains - Master Wan was probably used as a gun by Tian Xin's gang!

I only heard that Wan Chengping said: "I said that I wanted to open peace for Daheng, but in private it was just for personal gain, so that I could do some pickled things." The ministers privately thought that this case must be thoroughly investigated, and Gan Cao had close contacts with the city department, so he should also carefully investigate it. Another word, I hope that the emperor does not care about the minister's inappropriate words - the matter of the thirteen ports is by no means overnight, it is really full of mistakes and omissions, and it is useless, and I hope that the emperor will be cautious. ”

This is...... This is to be checked as "smuggling opium".

The little emperor He Xiao was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what he wanted him to be cautious, so he subconsciously turned his head to see her mother.

Before the Empress Dowager Lin could say something again, she heard a young man come out of the crowd and say, "The minister has a word." ”

Empress Dowager Lin glanced down, she didn't remember who this handsome young man was, and was about to wave his hand to ask him to wait first, but after answering Wan Chengping, he didn't expect him to open his mouth.

"The minister thinks that Lord Gan should investigate this matter, but it is definitely not such an investigation." The young man behaved respectfully, but there seemed to be something beside him on his face.

"First, Lord Gan's words and deeds, you adults are not uncommon, although reading Western books and doing new things, but it has never been contrary to my great balance of etiquette, and there has never been a discord with the words of the saint, and the solemnity is obvious to all. Why did he suddenly do such a thing now, whether it was really a moment of lard blinding, or there was something else hidden, naturally it is necessary to investigate it thoroughly. I, Daheng, have always been strict and innocent, so naturally I can't let anyone be wronged. "Now the court is one-sided, all the eunuchs are stirring up, the old school is charging, and the new school knows that it is wrong and is incompetent to refute, and no one has ever said such a statement.

The young man didn't seem to be happy: "Second, my generation has read the Bible and history since childhood, so naturally I should know 'think twice', but now this matter has not yet been concluded, and I should not investigate it with the mind of 'the city must be a smuggler', that is, if there is nothing to do, it should be found out." Third, although our dynasty is based on agriculture, the people of the merchant and the sea trade still have to make a living, and the people of the thirteen ports depend on the people, and the women and children all know. Cutting off an arm due to a finger injury, and then cutting off half of his body, is not a good strategy. Minister......"

"What's your name?" Empress Dowager Lin interrupted this generous statement halfway, rubbed her eyebrows and asked.

The young man bowed to the end and said loudly: "Chen Dali Temple is Tan Huaiju." ”
