Chapter 1177: Collecting Debts with the Emperor!
Liu Zhiheng had a chill down his spine, "The most ruthless emperor family!" Luckily, the boys were sent away. ”
The two didn't say anything more, and went their separate ways.
Jiayin coaxed her grandmother to go to bed early and entered the space.
Now only here, looking at the supplies in her eyes, can she feel a little safe.
In particular, the few boxes that were transported back from the south were touched by her over and over again.
This thing, once taken out, will definitely shake the earth and shock the world.
Therefore, she has to keep guarding, and she will never use it until the critical time, until it is absolutely necessary.
Compared with high-yield food, the appearance of this thing will make those in power crazy......
On the second day, Li Lao Er should not have attended, but he stood in the queue.
Some officials were puzzled, so they asked, "Why is Uncle here today?" Isn't it busy outside the city? ”
Li Lao Er smiled harmlessly, and responded, "It's really busy outside the city, after all, there are more than 10,000 displaced people who need to be resettled, and I'm also anxious." But there is no way, there is one more important thing that needs to be decided by the emperor. ”
If others don't want to ask again, they will shut up.
When he was able to go to the court, the emperor really saw Li Laoer, but he didn't inquire as cordially as before, just as if he couldn't see it.
But Li Lao Er didn't want to go in vain, so after the important political affairs were disposed of, he stepped forward, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a book." ”
The emperor frowned and glanced at the crown prince.
The prince hurriedly responded, "Uncle Li, but there is a change in the displaced people outside the city?" ”
"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the displaced people outside the city are all good, but the minister's family is not good." Li Lao Er had a bitter face and continued, "At the beginning, the first batch of military rations of the Northern Expeditionary Army was destroyed, and it was impossible to raise it for a while, but it was our family's guarantee, and the families in the same new capital borrowed food, so that they could be quickly replenished, and the soldiers of the Northern Expeditionary Army were not allowed to starve and kill the barbarians.
"But now that the Northern Expedition has been won, people have also come to collect debts and ask for food!
"The emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also know that we only have a broken gold beach at home, and we don't produce food, and now we can't even sell blood even if we smash bones.
"Therefore, the minister can only hurry up and ask the emperor and the prince to decide."
Where is this decision, it is obviously a debt collection and an invitation to merit.
The emperor's face was not good, but the officials were even more puzzled.
According to the Li family's previous style of acting, they often took the initiative to share their worries for Tianwu and the emperor, and they were never willing to be greedy for merit.
Even if everyone praises it, it is also necessary to be humble.
What's going on today?
actually took the initiative to collect debts and got it in front of the emperor!
It seems that everyone is afraid that everyone will forget that their family is borrowing grain for the court as a guarantee!
But no matter how doubtful it is, no one dares to show it on their faces.
Pretending to be dumb at this time is the wisest way to save your life!
The prince's gaze swept between the terrified Li Lao Er and the emperor, and opened his mouth to relieve the siege.
"Uncle Li, when your family stepped forward and relieved the crisis for the imperial court and the Northern Expeditionary Army, my father and His Royal Highness both remembered it. It's just that the government is chaotic, the queen mother wields power before and after, and the queen mother dies, so I can't care about it for a while.
"You step aside for the time being, and after His Highness has discussed with the six important ministers, he will dispose of it."
Li Lao Er hurriedly thanked him, and then quietly retreated.
The hall was silent for a while, after all, the emperor had a cold face, and no one dared to speak again.
The prince nodded with Manager Yi, and Manager Yi understood, and immediately shouted, "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat!" ”
Everyone quickly knelt down in unison and sent the emperor and the crown prince away.
Everyone walked out slowly against the sun.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, everyone was far away from Li Laoer.
Li Lao Er didn't seem to notice it, and when he arrived at the gate of the palace, he got into the carriage and left with everyone else.
The feelings of everyone were very complicated, and there was one who couldn't hold his breath and said, "What kind of wind did this Li Lao Er smoke, and at this time he actually collected debts in front of the emperor!" ”
But some people say fairly, "Debt collection should also be!" I did borrow food for the Northern Expeditionary Army before, and I also relieved the siege for the imperial court! Now that people want to return food, they should also find the imperial court.
"After all, the Northern Expeditionary Army is the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Imperial Court, and the Northern Expedition is for the safety of Tianwu, not for the Li family!"
Not to mention how everyone talked about it, they all insisted on their own words.
It is only said that in the imperial study, the emperor has already drunk two cups of tea with a black face.
The prince tentatively persuaded him, "Father, the original batch of military rations has indeed been in arrears for a long time. It just so happens that the warehouse is open now, do you want to return this batch of grain? ”
The emperor put down the teacup heavily and replied, "The Northern Expeditionary Army is now surnamed Ye, and no one is loyal to me!" Now the credit for recovering the mountains and rivers is in hand, but the military rations have to be disposed of! Hmph, what a good calculation! ”
In the prince's lowered eyes, a dark color flashed, and he wanted to say something, but he endured it in the end.
Xu Shi also realized that his words were unfair, and the emperor directly changed his words.
"You gather with the Ministry of Rites to discuss the matter of praying for rain."
Praying for rain?
The crown prince raised his head and asked hesitantly, "Father, the rumors of the legends outside are not credible. You won't ......"
The emperor waved his hand and refused to respond positively, but said, "You check the classics first, try not to waste the people and money, but be more solemn." As for the rest...... We'll talk about it later. ”
The prince couldn't, so he could only respond, and then retreated.
Mr. Yi was guarding the door, and he was very surprised to see the prince come out with a bad face.
Although the prince grew up in the people, the city is very deep, and he never wants to show his joy and anger.
What is the purpose of this today?
The prince didn't even say hello to Manager Yi, and he didn't stop until he walked to Xilong Pavilion.
Gonggong Feng followed all the way, trotting with beads of sweat, and before he could wipe it, the prince ordered, "Go and bring a bowl of ice cream." ”
"Hey, yes, yes!" Gonggong Feng hurriedly went to the imperial dining room again.
Soon, the ice cream with peach jam was placed on the prince's table.
The prince scooped a spoonful and frowned as soon as he ate it.
Gonggong Feng asked tentatively, "Your Highness, is it the wrong taste?" ”
The prince threw the spoon and said, "Nothing is right! The peach jam is so sweet, the ice cream is not dense enough, and it is not even half as good as the white clouds! ”
Gonggong Feng shrank his neck and didn't dare to speak.
Because the emperor and the prince like it, the imperial chef has deliberately pondered this ice cream method for a long time, and he identifies that the white clouds are almost the same.
And he secretly ate one on the way before rushing back.
He really didn't taste it, what a difference!
The prince didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't get Gonggong Feng out until the ice cream was half melted.
Gonggong Feng went out with the ice cream bowl, breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave the ice cream to the little eunuch, and pondered.
It's a pity that he had a headache and didn't understand what happened to the prince.
At this time, he envied Mr. Yi, people were like fish in water with the emperor, and it was so difficult to serve a young prince to him!
Sure enough, the goods are more than thrown away, and people have to die more than people!
