"Your Majesty."

Prime Minister Fu spoke again, interrupting Li Yan's contemplation.

Li Yan looked up.

"What else can the prime minister do?"

"Your Majesty, this year, the queen Qianqiu has also prepared a sum of money, and the minister wonders if he can also take it out for emergency purposes first."

As soon as Prime Minister Fu Cheng's words came out, everyone in the hall looked at him.

Li Yan did not speak.

Li Yi glanced at Li Yan's expression, and smiled at Prime Minister Fu Cheng: "Prime Minister, if the queen Qianqiu is omitted, I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Li Yan said: "What the prime minister said is right, I and the queen are still young, so there is no need to be like this every year, and there is no need to prepare for a long life this year." ”

Prime Minister Fu was stunned for a moment, but did not say anything more.

Li Rong said: "This matter is decided first, and the things you are told to do will be done first, Li Rong will lead people to check the account books of the household department, and first allocate the money to Linchuan to be handled by the prime minister, and send it to Linchuan as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

The Heart Cultivation Hall dispersed, it was already the middle of the moon, the two household servants left alone, and Li Rong left with Prime Minister Fu Cheng.

On the way, Li Rong said: "My father-in-law is just in the Heart Cultivation Palace, and he seems to be thinking about other things, do you still have any concerns in your heart?" ”

Prime Minister Fu shook his head, but he didn't hide it from his son-in-law, and sighed: "It's just that I was ready to say goodbye to the old man before, but now that something like this has happened, it's not easy to hand over the old man's recital." ”

Li Rong never found out that Prime Minister Fu had any intention of resigning, and looked at Prime Minister Fu in surprise.

"Father-in-law, why is that?"

"I'm getting old......"

Prime Minister Fu Cheng sighed and looked at Li Rong again.

"Besides, you are young and promising now, and you have taken over the household department with one hand, these are two extremely important positions, the emperor uses you so much, if I occupy the position of this prime minister, things will be reversed, but I am afraid that it is not a good thing."

"Father-in-law......"

Prime Minister Fu waved his hand and interrupted Li Rong's words.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to feel guilty, the Fu family also has a queen, if the lady is still the same as before, to be honest, my worries are a little less, at least the emperor won't think about anything else. And the emperor probably has the intention of abolishing the official position of prime minister, if I can resign on my own, wouldn't it be better for both sides? ”

In the final analysis, he, the prime minister, originally didn't have much power, and the six ministries had the right to report to the emperor on their own, and the deliberations in the southern study room have always been held together by several important ministers of the court.

The prime minister can be regarded as in name only.

But now it's in a different form than it used to be.

Li Rong thought for a while and said: "The emperor trusts his father-in-law very much now, if his father-in-law resigns at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will not agree, and even if the emperor wants to abolish the prime minister, I am afraid that he will wait for his father-in-law, why should my father-in-law think so much at this time?" Do your best to do the things ordered by the emperor, the emperor is not an unreasonable person, and there is also the queen's mother, even if it is in the face of the queen, the emperor will not be good. ”

"I just don't want that." Fu Cheng said.

He knew that the emperor still liked his daughter now, so that the emperor didn't get angry at all when his daughter was so angry, and even blindly connived.

But the emperor's connivance is just a matter of affection between them, and they can make trouble no matter how much they want.

But once he needs to exchange the friendship between his daughter and the emperor for his status in the court, these feelings between the emperor and his daughter will deteriorate.

He has been an official for decades, and he doesn't care about the power in the next few years, and as long as his daughter and the emperor do well, even if he resigns, he will live well.

Why did he cling to it?

Thinking of this, Fu Cheng was even more relieved.

"You naturally have your own way to go, and as for the matter of resignation, I'm afraid it will have to wait until this matter is over. Let's go, go back first, or Miaomiao will worry about you at home. ”

Li Rong was silent for a moment and nodded slowly.

When he returned home, Li Rong found that Fu Miao had not rested, but just changed his clothes and leaned against the collapse to read, and when he saw him come in, Fu Miao immediately asked the maid to prepare hot water, and then walked up to Li Rong, put aside the official hat he had taken off, and pulled Li Rong to sit down.

"The emperor summoned you into the palace and talked about it for so long, what happened?"

"Zhang Jiqian, who went to Linchuan to be in charge of the flood, sent the chapter back, the silver money for the flood control was not enough, the previous time there was a queen mother from the obstruction, and the silver money sent over at one time was not much, and now it is not enough, the emperor wants to allocate funds from the household department again, but found that the household department does not have much money, so he discussed it in the palace."

"Don't have enough money in the household?"

Fu Miao was stunned for a moment.

Next to her, the maid handed over the wrung hot cloth, Fu Miao took it and handed it to Li Rong, and quickly came back to her senses.

"In that case, this matter is very serious, the emperor is determined to completely solve the flooding along the river, but he is afraid that he will not give up if he has no money, is there any way to get along?"

"The emperor sent me to check the account books of the household department, and at the same time asked my father-in-law to send the money that could be made up to Linchuan first, for this, the emperor Neicuri was originally going to repair the palace, as well as the emperor's longevity festival, the queen's thousand autumn festival is over, and all the silver money will be sent to Linchuan with the household."

"That's ......"

Fu Miao muttered.

Li Rong said: "Not only that, once the inventory of the household department begins, I am afraid that other officials will be implicated this time, and the two household servants seem to know that there was a problem with the treasury before, but they have not said it, and now something has happened to let the emperor know, once the household department has checked the account books, these two people and other people involved may also be replaced, and this time the household department may have to replace a lot of people." ”

Fu Miao's eyes flashed.

"This is also something that can't be helped, but the emperor has just left the capital to take office in various places, if the household department wants to change blood, I don't know if there will be anyone who can do anything at that time."

"This matter has not yet been determined, but the emperor said that he would check the household department, but I am afraid that he already has a plan in his heart."

Li Rong said as he got up and went to wash his hands.

Fu Miao followed and handed him the dry handkerchief.

Li Rong wiped his hands and said, "By the way, my father-in-law has the intention of resigning, have you heard my father-in-law mention it before?" ”

"Resigned?" Fu Miao shook her head in confusion: "I've never heard my father mention this matter, where did you hear it?" ”

"My father-in-law said it himself, if there is no such thing, I am afraid that in two days, the son-in-law's resignation will appear on the emperor's imperial case."

"But I've never heard my father mention it, why is he suddenly about to resign?"

"My father-in-law is worried that the Fu family is too powerful and will affect the emperor's feelings for the queen." Li Rongdao.

When Fu Miao heard this, she subconsciously frowned, hurriedly lowered her head, and calmed down for a while before saying, "This is also a father's loving heart." ”
