Chapter 14: He Arrived
"Hmm."
"There's one thing I forgot to tell you, didn't you accidentally sit on the couch in the main hall yesterday? Today, I can vaguely hear someone spreading it. ”
"Pass what?"
"It is said that the mother is dissatisfied with the emperor's neglect, so she has a grudge against the emperor and does something arrogant."
Ming Weiran shook his head, what does it mean to go away, this is it.
"This Luomei ......" Ming Weiran sighed, this Luomei is not simple, "It's probably because Concubine Yan is bad." ”
He Yanhong really doesn't know how to converge, is he really going to pull himself down?
"Niangniang, what do you say?"
"Let's see."
……
Daiei Cabinet
I saw a handsome face, a man with deep eyes was frowning, showing a tired state, this person was wearing a dark purple official robe, combing a regular bun, tall and tall, with a serious demeanor, quietly looking at the two "bosses" in front of him, silent.
The other two people in the hall wore black gauze hats, but the starry white of their sideburns was faintly visible.
The one on the right is the first assistant Xu Si, like a crane has to stand there, although he is already sixty-five people, but he is still full of energy, in the cabinet, often stay all day, the affairs of the provinces, large and small, he has to be clear, if there is something important, he can not be arbitrary, the next day, when the next day, you need to discuss with other cabinet members, and then report to the emperor, the wrinkles on his face can not block the determination of his gaze, but he always slightly bows his head.
The one on the left is the second assistant Xu Tian, slightly chubby, with his hands behind his back, quite a bit of "don't offend me" majesty, now he is also sixty people, he has to come to this place every three or five days, he shouldn't have come today, but he had to come.
Xu Tian cleared his throat: "Yu Moxue, 200,000 taels of silver is not enough to build a palace?" ”
This person is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Yu Moxue: "It's not enough, there are less than 10,000 taels of silver left in the Ministry of Households, and the project has only been completed less than seventy percent." ”
His voice was steady, and he was obviously not afraid of Xu Tian.
Xu Tian stepped forward, "When this palace was built at that time, it was all calculated, 200,000 taels, why is it not enough now?" ”
"These 200,000 taels of silver are not what I want." In a word, in the hall, there is silence.
"You!" Xu Tian glared at Yu Moxue.
A year and a half ago, the emperor wanted to build a palace, when the project had just begun, it was taken over by the household servant, because of the floods in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the emperor thought that it was not suitable to build a large number of buildings, so the project was stopped, put on hold for a period of time, and started construction seven months ago, because Mo Xue took over, and now the money is not enough to repair here.
Xu Tian snorted coldly: "Now that there are so many things in the imperial court, what money do you want for the cabinet?" ”
Seeing that the situation was not appropriate, Xu Si, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke: "With 200,000 taels, it is more than enough to repair this palace." Does Mo Xue want to ask if anyone has touched this money during the period when the project has been on hold. ”
Yu Moxue arched his hand: "My subordinates don't dare, when I accepted this project seven months ago, I still had 150,000 taels of silver, and the project just started, how could a quarter of the money be used, I also reported this matter at that time, but Xu Cifu said that it was because the construction had just started, and various matters were prepared, and the expenses would inevitably be larger, and now the money was not enough, and the subordinates felt that the 50,000 taels were probably not used in the right place." ”
Yu Moxue really didn't want to ask for money, so he could only come hard, there was no way, the silver was used up immediately, and he couldn't delay it, but why was the money not enough, and why did he use 50,000 taels just after the start of construction, he had to ask to understand.
"What? What do you mean kid? Xu Tian's voice was very loud, "You ask us?" How do we know that this is the business of the Ministry of Works? ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence again.
The squire of the Ministry of Works died a year ago because of the fall of his young son, and he was so traumatized that he committed suicide by taking medicine.
Xu Si said: "Xu Tian! Don't talk about the deceased. ”
He looked at Yu Mo Xue again and said: "Mo Xue, this matter, when we discuss it tomorrow, we will discuss it again to see if the household department can allocate some more silver taels, in short, we must build the palace as soon as possible, the emperor means to reward Concubine Yan during the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”
"The subordinates retired." When Yu Moxue heard this, she knew that it was useless to stay longer, let's go, and see how they discuss it tomorrow.
Only Xu Tian and Xu Si were left in the hall, looking at the back of Yu Moxue leaving, Xu Tian shouted: "Unruly!" The entire cabinet counts him with little experience! The arrogance is high! ”
"Okay, let's think about what to do." Xu Si sighed.
Xu Tian was a little worried, "Elder Ge, what do you say?" ”
In the Dayong Cabinet, only the first assistant has a "cabinet elder", and the second assistant is called "cabinet chief" by others.
"As long as there is no greed in this, it is a matter of appropriating some silver taels."
"Will Yu Moxue be ......" I didn't say everything, but the meaning is very clear, whether Yu Moxue will be greedy!
"No, Mo Xue is very high, and the most disdainful thing is greed for money."
When Xu Tian heard this, he nodded, looked to the side, and arched his hand to Xu Si: "It's not too early, and the subordinates will retire." ”
Xu Tian also left this main hall, the Wenhua Palace.
After Xu Tian walked away, Xu Si walked out of the gate of Wenhua Palace, and the subordinate who came with him said: "You go back first, I still have some things." ”
Outside the Imperial Study.
The imperial eunuch guarding the door saw Xu Si coming from a distance, and hurriedly greeted him, "Old Xu Ge, have you come to find the emperor?" It's really unfortunate, Your Majesty, just left. I went to the Queen's Palace. ”
"The Queen?" Xu Si was surprised, the emperor hadn't been to see the queen for half a year.
"Why don't I go and spread the word?" The little eunuch whispered.
"No, it's great that the emperor can go to see the queen, and I am here for this." Xu Si felt a little relieved that the emperor was finally willing to see the queen.
At this time, it was already Shen Shi [afternoon]
Ming Weiran sat in the pavilion for a while, and then went to the study, "Dayong Official System" has been turned over most of the time, Ming Weiran was a little tired, and walked to the pavilion to rest, Xiaolu alone has to tidy up the whole palace, and has to urge the people in the kitchen, there are only two people in the kitchen, very lazy, and now he has just changed to new tea, so he came to accompany Ming Weiran.
The two of them didn't have much to say this time.
At this time, Ming Weiran faintly heard the footsteps of many people, and saw four eunuchs wearing brown-red plain silk walking in, and they were still followed by people, before Ming Weiran could see who was behind them.
An old man's voice came: "The emperor has arrived." ”
What the!? Ming Weiran and Xiao Lu looked at each other, Ming Weiran expressed surprise, and Xiao Green expressed surprise.
Before they could react, the group had already entered the palace and stood in the courtyard, Ah Cai and Xiao Quanzi heard the sound and were already kneeling there, Xiao Lu helped up Ming Weiran, who didn't know what to do, and walked to the courtyard, and when he saw the person in front of him, he immediately knelt half-kneel, put his hands on the right side of his waist, and said: "Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”
Ming Weiran still stood still, looking at the person in front of her.
He frowned slightly, quite impatient, looking at the uninhibited self-esteem, a green silk was tied up by a dark purple ribbon, hanging behind his back, his eyes flowed, breathtaking, it was really charming and difficult to describe the meaning of these eyes, and there was quite a contempt to play. The lips are red and the teeth are white, and the next second it actually hooks up an arc, so it is a, upright posture, giving people a sense of oppression that is difficult to breathe. This is beauty regardless of gender......
What is like a god, what is like a knife-like outline, what is charming and seductive, Ming Weiran can be regarded as seeing.
Jing Shen looked at the woman in front of him, a little contemptuous, every time he saw himself, he was like this, why didn't he salute after only four months?
Ming Weiran finally came back to her senses and scolded herself secretly, she didn't make a difference, didn't she say that she was not confused by appearance? What's going on now, but such a face is really imaginative.
Xiao Lu was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat, why didn't her mother salute? The emperor has come over!
Jing Shen was still smiling, he walked over slowly, his steps were elegant, but he had an invincible attitude, approaching Ming Weiran,
Ming Weiran's brain spun rapidly, kneeling? Wrong wrong! How is the emperor? Huang Ama auspicious? The emperor Wan'an? What to say!
"Long live the emperor." At the moment when Jing Shen approached, Ming Weiran stiffly and quickly said these four words, and then stepped back, keeping a "safe distance" from the emperor
