Liu Juma didn't know for a while whether this was a compliment or a derogation.

Uncle Li Guo said with a smile: "Liu Juma is planning in his position, the next time I see your father, I have to say a few words about him, and my son will compare him to this old man." ”

Is this a boast? No one had praised him before, and Liu Juma didn't know what to say.

"Alright, you guys go down first." The Emperor said, pointing to the back, "Don't be in a hurry to leave, and then go back after dinner." ”

Uncle Li Guo gave a salute, and did not forget to pull the willow horse, and the willow horse was busy giving the salute, and the two retreated.

As soon as he walked out, Liu Juma hurriedly asked, "Lord Li, I didn't upset Your Majesty, did I?" ”

Uncle Li looked at him and said, "You, you have made meritorious service." ”

Merit? Liu Juma did not rejoice, but was at a loss: "What have I set up?" ”

Uncle Li Guo smiled: "What does Your Majesty lack the most, what does you like the most?" Isn't it clear to you in the household department? ”

Liu Juma seemed to understand: "Money." ”

The emperor was forever short of money, and the emperor also liked the treasury to be full.

"Then Momen is really rich?" Uncle Li asked curiously, "How do you know?" ”

Liu Juma nodded again and again: "It's really rich, I didn't know it originally, Lord Li, you also know, I have nothing to do, and I like to hunt around." ”

When he said this, he looked left and right, and no eunuch followed, so he lowered his voice.

"After the King of Jin recruited Momen to rebel, I deliberately went to Jin because of curiosity, and I heard a lot of wild history rumors there."

"For example, when the artifact was cast, the money needed was not from the King of Jin, but a cart of money from Momen was transported over, and it was spent like splashing water, and a cast iron pool was erected from the ground in a short time."

Hearing this, Uncle Li Guo's face was shocked.

It wasn't the scene of the Mo disciples that was shocked.

"You kid." He glared and said, "You're so bold! ”

The rebellion of the King of Jin is forbidden by the royal family, and it is not allowed to be discussed, but this Liu Xiaolang actually went to the Jin land to see the excitement in order to hunt for curiosity.

"You don't have to tell your majesty or anyone about this." Uncle Li Guo pulled the willow horse and advised, "You remember, you are in the household department, you care about the treasury and people's livelihood, and you are worried about money and food, so this idea came to you." ”

Liu Juma sighed: "I know, I won't say it." ”

He was just cowardly, not stupid, and immediately thanked Uncle Li.

Uncle Li Guo smiled and picked him up, he wanted to make friends with the two princesses, so as to help the queen stabilize the middle palace, although His Majesty is not greedy for women, but he doesn't mind the harem is full, there are already a lot of concubines in just two years, and I don't know how many there will be next.

"Still." Liu Juma whispered, "Lord Li, do you want to know what kind of cast-iron pool Momen has built?" ”

Uncle Li Guo flicked his sleeves in annoyance and left first, "I don't want to know." ”

The two walked to the back garden one after the other, the imperial city in winter was a little solemn, and the laughter of women and children came from time to time in the back garden, adding a little agility.

"How's that?"

"Hey, the heights are staggered, the refining furnace is like the stars hanging high above, and the pool is like rivers and lakes below."

"You saw it with your own eyes?"

"No.... It's been flat for a long time, and I've heard people in the area describe it, but this cast-iron pool is not only beautiful to look at, but what is even more terrifying is that it moves. ”

"What a lie!"

"Really, some people have seen with their own eyes that when the rebellion is fighting, the stars in the sky can fall, the rivers and lakes on the earth will move, and countless people will be swallowed up in it - it is said that the crown prince died in it, and no matter how many guards he has, there is no way to do it."

......

......

When the two imperial relatives whispered in private, the imperial study fell silent, and the emperor looked at the chessboard and thought for a moment.

"You want to go out of Beijing to check Momen because of money?" He asked.

Huo Lian shook his head: "The minister doesn't know this, it's just that the recent reports from all over the place, the hidden ink disciples occasionally make trouble, and I don't know what the intention is, so the minister wants to take a look." ”

The emperor pinched the chess pieces and nodded: "The King of Jin and those officials have raided their homes, these ink disciples, I have let them go as homeless people, it seems that they are negligent, and their homes should also be copied." ”

Raiding homes is really a good way to fill the treasury.

When he first ascended the throne, the household department came to cry poverty every day, and he was not willing to do a big job when he married the queen, and after three or four years of copying the house in the name of tracing the remnants of the Jin king, not only did the court gradually become what he wanted, but the household department also changed to cry once in half a year to be poor, and he, the emperor, could choose a few concubines decently.

Next, you need to enjoy the flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer, and hunt in autumn.

When he became the emperor, he couldn't be more bitter than when he was the sixth prince who was ignored.

The emperor looked at Huo Lian.

"Since the Mo disciples are not dead yet, and the Mo Men are still there, then go and raid their homes."

Huo Lian leaned over and responded: "The minister's order." ”

......

......

The Governor was a little busy because of this will.

The two guards brought Huo Lian's knife.

Huo Lian stretched out his hand to take it, and called Zhu Chuan again.

Without waiting for him to command, Zhu Chuan had already answered the call and stepped forward with the six-foot sword.

"Governor, I'll take it." He said, "If you want to catch a thief, of course you have to bring evidence." ”

Huo Lian smiled, a flash of laughter, and her face regained her calm.

"Let's go." He said, got on his horse, and walked forward.

Zhu Chuan shouted yes and followed.

However, unlike in the past, there were no horses' hooves trampling on the outside of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the guards were like clouds, but cloaks to cover their bodies, hats to cover their faces, and light horses ran out of the city like a bolt of lightning, and the people on the streets did not even see who it was.

The people don't know, Huo Lian's inner house can't be unaware.

"The Governor is out?"

In the inner house, Liang Siwan, who seemed to have just woken up and opened the door, looked at the maidservant who came to tell her, and asked with a slightly surprised expression.

"Did you say when you would be back?"

The servant girl shook her head: "The slave doesn't know." ”

Yes, how can a servant girl know the whereabouts of Huo Dudu.

Liang Siwan nodded: "I know, you go down." He added, "Since the governor is not at home, I will rest, don't bother." ”

The handmaid bowed her head and retreated.

Liang Siwan closed the door, feeling the silence around her.

This is the Metropolitan Inspector, and it is also Huo Lian's home, Huo Lian is not there, and the family is like no one exists.

"He, won't he say a word to you when he goes out?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded behind him, and his voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Liang Siwan turned around and looked at the man who came out from behind the curtain.

It was Liang Liuzi who was almost hacked to death by Huo Lian on the street that day.

Liang Siwan looked at him and sneered.

"Sixth brother, what did you say, how could he tell me when he went out?"

"Huo Dudu only needs to tell the emperor when he goes out."

Liang Liuzi looked at her, she smiled briskly, her expression was casual, as if she had been teased by the banter of her righteous brothers at home before.

Nothing seems to have changed.

But the content of the words is no longer those delicious and fun life trivialities.

The identity between them is no longer brother and sister, if he has to talk about it, he will either call Huo Lian his brother-in-law, or Liang Siwan as his younger brother and sister.

But either way, it's disgusting.

Liang Liuzi's hand hanging on his side squeezed: "It's not that he treats you as a treasure, and when he returns to Beijing, he doesn't go to see Your Majesty first, but sees you....."

How can such a cherished person go out without saying a word and say goodbye?

Even the husbands of ordinary people have to say goodbye to their wives when they go far away.

Could it be that these are all fake?
