Xu is because the new pavilion marquis has returned victoriously, and the autumn harvest is about to begin, and the emperor has been in a particularly good mood for the past two days.

Therefore, the more troublesome excerpts in the six parts were sent one after another, and they were approved by the emperor in the hope that he would raise his noble hand.

At this time, the head of the household and the head of the Ministry of Industry are in the imperial study, one wants to press the pension silver, the other wants to ask for silver, taking advantage of the lack of rain this year, quickly repair the river.

The emperor was a little troubled by them.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The emperor wants to treat the soldiers who died in battle, and he also wants to take precautions and repair the river, but he is powerless, because the treasury is empty!

But the soldiers who died in the war sacrificed for the country, and they all had parents and parents at home.

Tianwu couldn't take the life of someone else's son, but he didn't even give a little compensation.

Besides, rivers are the foundation of people's livelihood.

There is less rain this year, and there may be more rain next year, and if you want to protect the harvest at that time, you will have to rely on river drainage.

To protect the river is to ensure next year's harvest......

finally sent away the two important ministers, and the emperor really couldn't drink a mouthful of tea.

The chief eunuch secretly scolded the two important ministers in his heart, but they patted their butts and left, leaving them to face an irritable emperor, which was really a chore.

He was thinking about what to make the emperor happy, or to go to the harem to invite the emperor's favorite concubine to "extinguish the fire".

As a result, a little eunuch came to say, "Chief Administrator, Master Hou is here." ”

Hou Ye is here?

The chief eunuch's eyes lit up, and he hurried to greet him in person.

Hou Ye has a waist card that can walk at will, and he can enter the palace at any time without passing it on, but Hou Ye understands the rules, and when he always arrives at the palace gate, he sends the little eunuch to come in in advance to report the news.

And every time he gives a reward, he is also generous, so from the chief eunuch to the little eunuch below, they all like Hou Ye to enter the palace.

Seeing the chief eunuch come in, the Hou Ye arched his hand and asked with a gentle smile, "Chief Yi, is the emperor receiving the courtiers at this time?" ”

"No, no." The chief eunuch bowed down and replied, and the smile on his face was sincere.

Before he entered the palace, his family's name was Yi, but on weekdays, the courtiers came to meet the saint and called him a father-in-law or a manager, and few people called him by his surname like Hou Ye, which made him feel respected.

He took the initiative to say a few more words, "Hou Ye doesn't know, the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry have just left, the emperor is worried, he refuses to take a sip of tea, Hou Ye is too good to come over at this time, the emperor must be happy to see Hou Ye." ”

Hou Ye nodded and handed over the basket in his hand.

The basket contained more than a dozen golden melons, each the size of a palm, and fragrant.

Manager Yi was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Oh, where did Master Hou find the golden fruit?" I've heard that it's out of season!

"A few days ago, the emperor said that the old slave specially sent someone to buy outside, and finally bought a basket, but unfortunately the taste is too far worse than that grown in Broken Gold Beach. The old slave didn't dare to send it to the emperor! ”

Hou Ye said with a smile, "This is what is planted in Broken Golden Beach, the old village chief is worried that I am out on the expedition, and I didn't eat this year's melons and fruits, so he specially planted a few rows of late melons, which are ripe at this time."

"Originally, I didn't think of bringing some to the emperor, but today, the county lord went into the city with me, and when she got up early, she personally led people to the ground to pick a basket."

"Oh, it's no wonder that the emperor also loves the county lord in every way, and the county lord is really smart and cute. If the emperor knew, he would be very happy. Mr. Yi happily held the basket of golden fruits, as if holding a basket of rare treasures.

First, the emperor likes to eat this thing, and second, the emperor prefers that the county lord really cares about him.

With this basket of golden fruits, as long as the emperor is in a bad mood in the past few days, he will send a plate, and the emperor will definitely not be angry.

In this way, the two walked all the way to the outside of the imperial study, and just as they were about to go up the steps, they saw a group of people walking out of the apse.

It was the third princess who brought two grandmothers and two palace maids.

The third princess looked a little excited, obviously because she couldn't deliver soup last time, and this time she came to offer her hospitality.

Unfortunately, she was so unlucky!

As soon as she looked up, she saw Manager Yi, and the cold expression of Master Hou behind Manager Yi.

She plucked up the courage and wanted to meet the marquis.

was so rude last time, after I went back, Mama had already said that she was a princess, and the Hou Ye would not treat her no matter how angry she was, just put up a shelf.

Unfortunately, it's too hard to do.

Hou Ye's eyes were like ten thousand years of ice, just one glance, she was so frightened that she fled.

The two palace maids with the tray couldn't dodge, the tray was knocked over, and the snacks were spilled all over the ground.

Manager Yi frowned, and shouted at the stunned grandmothers and palace maids, "What are you waiting for, don't chase the princess yet." The princess has a good job, you all have to play the board! ”

The two grandmothers and the two palace maids immediately lifted their skirts and ran away after them.

Mr. Yi led Hou Ye up the steps, and when Hou Ye entered the imperial study, he hurried to wash the gold fruit.

When the emperor heard the movement outside, he also frowned at this time, and asked, "Cousin, have you met the third princess again?" ”

Hou Ye nodded, but there was nothing to hide, and said directly, "Xu was guilty of bullying Fu Niu'er last time, for fear that I would trouble her, and she would be scared away when she saw me." ”

The emperor smiled bitterly, his own child was distressed, but he was too angry.

But having said this, he simply picked it away, and responded, "The third princess was pampered by the queen, and I have already moved her out of Kunning Palace." Cousin, don't worry about a child! ”

"No," Hou Ye shook his head, "The princess is still young, so Mama can teach more." Besides, this is a princess, not a prince, even if she can't teach it well, and her temperament is rude, it will not hurt the state affairs. ”

These words can be said to the emperor's heart, but he always feels that he let it go so lightly, unlike his cousin's temper......

"The head of the household department and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry are here?" Seeing that there were no eunuchs and palace maids in the house, Hou Ye spoke more casually, and changed his words.

The emperor sighed and replied, "Yes, they are all here to ask for money, I am like a money bag, everyone wants to pay from me!" ”

Hou Ye smiled, "The emperor is the great master of Tianwu, so naturally everyone has to count on the emperor to take the idea and issue silver money." ”

At this time, Manager Yi came in with the cut golden fruit.

The sweet aroma made the emperor's eyes immediately brighten up and asked, "Where did the golden fruit come from?" ”

Manager Yi stepped forward, took a silver fork and handed it to the emperor, and said with a smile what the Marquis said, and at the end he didn't forget to help invite merit, "Your Majesty, you see, it's still the county lord who cares about you the most!" ”

The emperor really smiled and asked the Hou Ye, "Since you brought Fu Niu'er into the city, why didn't you bring her over?" ”

Hou Ye responded, "I will leave her in the Hou Mansion to sort out the account books for the past few months, see how much income the industry has, and plan to make up for the casualty pension." ”

The emperor immediately felt that the melon in his mouth was not sweet, and sighed and said, "Those soldiers died for the country, and they should be cared for by the imperial court, but as a result, not only can they not get the pension, but they also need you to make up for it." ”

Hou Ye's expression was also gloomy, and he said, "I took them across the river to the north, but I didn't bring them back, I feel ashamed." ”

"Don't say that, cousin!" The emperor opened his mouth to stop him, "Even if you are ashamed, it should be the shame of those old foxes in the court, and it should be the shame of those wealthy families who are full of people's fat and people's cream!" My cousin is under the rain of swords, guns and arrows, protecting Tianwu and safety, what's wrong with my cousin! ”

The more he spoke, the more angry he became, "I hate that I can't catch all these moths!" None of them can easily take out these tens of thousands of taels of pension silver, but they all shout poor, they just want to see my jokes and Tianwu's jokes! ”

Hou Ye didn't look angry, took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "Some people, good words are useless. Only when it hurts can you become sober. ”

The emperor's heart jumped, and he looked up at Manager Yi.

Mr. Yi immediately retreated and personally guarded the door.
