The saint happened to be in a good mood today, so he thought that it would be okay to be idle and listen to it. On weekdays, he doesn't receive such trivial complaints.

After listening, seeing Jia Yu kneeling behind him with a look of grievance, the sage asked him by name: "Jia Yu, are you guilty again?" ”

Jia Liang hurriedly bowed to the ground, and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, the minister also acts according to the rules." This mission does not have uniform formal attire, how can it show the demeanor of our great country? But you can't wear out the formal court clothes, and if you travel a long distance, if it breaks and breaks, it's also a shame.

Therefore, the minister prepared two sets of formal clothes for each envoy and officer, which would take several months, to say the least, and prepared two seasons of clothing. The minister didn't understand how such a reasonable thing could be an autumn breeze.

"That Lord Zhang also said to Zhou Shilang that the minister is ...... Be...... Mountain bandits! Woo...... Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged. The minister devoted himself to doing things for the Ministry of Rites, and the money he wanted was used properly, and he was not greedy for money. was described like this by the two adults, and the ministers were unwilling. ”

Zhang Bingquan twitched the corner of his mouth, this is not right, let's talk about the silver, why did you come to complain.

"Then you still call me your grandson!"

"That's not right, how can Master Zhang take it out of context. What I said was, 'If you don't dare to go to the front of the palace to confront, you are my grandson', but now that Master Zhang is here, since he is here, it is not my grandson, so I didn't scold you for being my grandson."

"Besides, when Master Zhang grabbed me by the collar and dragged me all the way, didn't he also say that if I run away, I will be your grandson? But I didn't complain to Your Majesty about this, did I? But you told Master Zhou that I was a mountain bandit, but it was real, wasn't it? It's still a book, it's so stingy. ”

Jia Liang's words were loud and not loud, saying that the small voice could be heard by everyone in the house, Zhang Bingquan had the heart to die at the moment, and wanted to refute it, but seeing that His Majesty's face was not safe, he had to quickly kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Zhang Bingquan! You're not finished, and you're just as careless as him, and you're not a person who hasn't read a book? The saint's face was blank, and he finally got angry. Do you think it's a big deal, and the relationship is this little dispute? "And you, Jia Yu! It's just muddy outside, and you dare to make muddy things in the palace, I think you have itchy skin! ”

Jia Liang hurriedly kowtowed to make amends, and couldn't stop saying in his mouth: "Your Majesty spares Your Majesty's life, Your Majesty wants to punish him, just open his mouth, but as long as the household department gives the silver that should be given." ”

Zhang Bingquan was not to be outdone with a crying voice: "The minister is the same, Your Majesty will punish if he wants, but this money can't be given!" ”

The saint was annoyed by the quarrel between the two of them, and he was in a good mood, but he was not very beautiful at the moment. He grabbed the fold on the table and threw it down, scolding: "It's not a fuel-efficient lamp." ”

Zhang Bingquan hurriedly shut up and didn't dare to speak again, but he had been an official for a long time, and when he heard His Majesty's words, he knew that there was an eighty percent chance that the money would not have to be given.

Jia Liang also heard it, but this person wilted, didn't speak, and only half-raised his head and squeezed his eyes at the saint.

The saint originally wanted to drive these people out, but when he saw Jia Yu squeezing his eyebrows at him, and remembering the real purpose of this mission, he wondered in his heart, is this money used for other purposes in the name of making clothes?

After pondering this in his heart, the saint hesitated, and then looked at Jia Yu's eyes, which was quite meaningful.

Although Zhou Zhengping has been silent since he came in, he also secretly observed the movements of the saint. At this time, he turned his back to Jia Yu and couldn't see what the other party was doing, but when he saw that the saint's eyes were wrong, he also understood, and he was afraid that things had changed.

The sage swept his head again, and suddenly pointed at Zhou Zhengping and asked: "The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable, Zhou Qingjia, you come and tell me, should this money be given?" ”

Zhou Zhengping chuckled in his heart, and suddenly burst into tears.

Why did you name him? There is still a book in the household department in this matter, what is the matter with him, the squire!

Zhang Bingquan was also stunned, and secretly said in his heart. This week, Zhengping's wife and his wife are the best on weekdays, and they are his subordinates, so they will be on their side at this time.

It seems that His Majesty gave him a step to let his subordinates.

Who knew that when he thought of this, he listened to Zhou Zhengping behind him and said: "The matter of sending an envoy is a major matter of the country, and we have not sent an embassy since the first emperor." Now it seems that the surrounding feudal states are no longer as backward as they used to be, and if they go out in tatters, it will indeed be humiliating to the national body. According to the minister's opinion, this silver is not much, and the minister made a preliminary estimate, and it seems that Master Jia has reduced some of it. ”

The saint laughed, it was really a comfort to have a minister who could read his face. This Jia Yu is not a thing, Zhang Bingquan is also a little more rigid, or Zhou Zhengping will come to do something.

"Then go on as it is, what is the dispute? Besides, Jia Aiqing is also working for the DPRK and China, and Zhang Qing's family doesn't have to be so serious. He's a little muddy, but he's okay. If you think he's greedy for ink, just ask someone to find out. ”

Zhang Bingquan didn't dare to be tough at this time, so he had to bow down and say: "The minister doesn't dare, the minister is also joking, and he still looks at Jia Lang Zhonghaihan." ”

The sage waved his hand: "If it's okay, just retreat, I'm tired." ”

After the three of them left the imperial study, Zhang Bingquan had no mood to argue anymore, and took Zhou Zhengping back to the household yamen with his head down. After approving the instructions and sending Jia Yu away, Zhang Bingquan glared at Zhou Zhengping.

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Zhengping felt bitter in his heart but couldn't say it, so he had to bow and bow to his boss and say: "Your Excellency is angry, your Excellency didn't see Your Majesty's eyes, it seems that there is some tacit understanding between General Jia and Your Majesty, and Your Majesty has loosened up." If the minister didn't agree at that time, I was afraid that the adults would not be able to run away today. ”

Zhang Bingquan was stunned and asked, "Have you read carefully?" ”

Zhou Zhengping smiled bitterly and nodded: "In the past, ministers and adults were of the same mind, how could they temporarily turn against each other in this matter." The minister saw that His Majesty's eyes looking at General Jia were a little serious at first, but then he became puzzled again, and finally seemed to understand something, and turned his head to ask the minister's opinion.

"My lord, do you think, if there is no tacit understanding between General Jia and His Majesty, how can His Majesty come to ask the minister? I'm afraid it's not as simple as an envoy. His Majesty and General Jia didn't want anyone to know, so they sent General Jia privately. If we block it again, it will ruin Your Majesty's big business, but it will be a big trouble. ”

Zhang Bingquan was a little reluctant at first, but in the end he could only sigh: "That's it, let this muddy boy be satisfied, and I don't know how to talk to us in the future." ”
