Li Xuan changed his approach and explained: "Mother, when I was in court, I was really not just joking around, but talking about serious things. If you don't believe me, ask Jia Qiang if he is talking about a 200 million yuan matter with my son. Two silvers for a living? Jia Qiang, tell the queen mother quickly!"

After seeing Yin, Jia Qiang looked over, nodded and said: "Madam, it's really like this. I found a prescription, which is dedicated to making a living from coal. Yesterday, I was appointed by the emperor as the Minister of Internal Affairs. I thought I couldn't do this job empty-handed." Officer, it is better to bring a meeting gift, and just bring out this prescription. How to do it, let Rong Chen be a fool. In short, the 200 million taels of silver are not included in the 1000 million taels of silver set by the emperor. 200 million taels are exclusively for the emperor and empress to repair the garden."

When Empress Yin heard the words, surprise appeared on her extremely beautiful face, and she said, "Really? Where did you get these prescriptions?"

Jia Qiang laughed, and said with a smile: "This minister can't say that, I rely on this to make a living."

Empress Yin gave him an angry look, and then put the matter aside.

She is a queen, so it's not good to mention these things all the time, she also needs to be decent.

Just be happy...

Empress Yin said to Jia Qiang: "These days the imperial concubine is not comfortable. She is in the palace and has to worry about your family. Jia Qiang, tell me about your Jia family, is there anyone else who is reliable?"

Jia Qiang looked at Jia Yuanchun, saw that her eyes were red, and wondered: "What is the imperial concubine worrying about the family? The old lady is in a strong body, and she is happy with Baoyu and the others every day. The old man will not be an official in the past few days." , life is like a fairy. Immediately, I will go to Zhuangzi outside the city to live a quiet and comfortable life, nourish my body and bones. Does the imperial concubine know that our family has a Zhuangzi outside the city?

There is also the second master, who is reading leisurely at home now, reciting poems and composing right, very at ease.As for the second wife, she worshiped the Buddha at home, and she is about to achieve the right result of cultivation and become a bodhisattva... Not to mention the aunts in the family, who just came back from the Taoyuan Manor outside the city today.It's making peach wine again, and washing warm soup again. Don't mention how happy you are stubborn.

What rumors did the imperial concubine hear?Why are you still worried about your family? "

Jia Yuanchun was not a person who was in a hurry, now seeing Jia Qiang's words were so logical, it seemed like that, and he didn't know what to say...

Jia Qiang smiled, and said again: "The imperial concubine has received a lot of favor from the emperor, especially the empress, so it is still important to focus on the errands in the palace, and there is no need to worry about the family. When the year is over, I will invite you Grace, come to take the imperial concubine home to visit relatives, don't you know it at first sight? Now the minister has also tidied up the Jia family's studies. Although Jia Lan is not very old, he has already shown a high spirit. Jia Lan returned home on vacation At that time, the aunt also specially arranged wine, and invited only one minister, thank you very much, the empress is at ease."

When Queen Yin heard this, she looked at Jia Qiang meaningfully.

She naturally knew the truth about Jia's family, Jia Qiang didn't tell the truth, but he almost toppled Jia's family!

It's just that in front of Jia Yuanchun, Jia Qiang said so calmly, as if Jia's family is still a happy and happy family.

Seeing Jia Yuanchun's expression of turning worry into joy, Empress Yin also felt ironic in her heart.

Sure enough, it doesn't matter if this man is naughty, as long as he can stand up at critical times.

Although Jia Qiang and Li Xuan are usually very out of tune, they are not like the others, they behave in a well-behaved manner.

But Empress Yin thought that Li Xuan and Jia Qiang were no worse than the others even in terms of capabilities.

Li Xuan has always had a pure and filial heart, and sometimes his intelligence is no less than that of his elder brothers.

And Jia Qiang possessed the power of Tao and Zhu, which in Empress Yin's opinion was even more useful than most of the courtiers.

Seeing that the two began to mock and laugh at each other again, a strange color flashed in Empress Yin's eyes, and the corners of her mouth curled into a beautiful and thrilling arc...

Chapter 6 Sister Feng: Bah!man!

"Why is the emperor here?"

In Fengzao Palace, before chatting with Li Xuan and Jia Qiang, it was said that Emperor Long'an had arrived, and Empress Yin hurriedly stood up to welcome everyone.

Emperor Long'an didn't come alone, besides Dai Quan with a bruised forehead holding a tray, he was followed by two ugly but rather tall servants.

Empress Yin felt a little murmured when she saw it, let alone Jia Qiang and Li Xuan who were guilty of thieves.

Should it be another beating?

Emperor Long'an caught a glimpse of the surprised and uncertain expressions of the two, sneered, and said to the queen after sitting down: "This scoundrel has become the commander of the embroidery guards, but he is like a normal person. I think he probably wants to be like the commander of the soldiers and horses. It is difficult to enter the yamen once in a month, so I came here to remind him! No matter how lazy I am on this job, I will be a board member, and I will not be like a court staff anymore. You still have to yell and make people lighten up Already!"

Jia Qiang hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm not being lazy. I'm not worried. The Military Aircraft Department has objections to important ministers like me serving as the commander of the embroidered guards. I just want to stop irritating them and take it easy..."

"fart!"

Emperor Long'an scolded: "You treat this as a joke?"

Empress Yin pursed her lips and said with a smile: "I am used to it, but now I have to change it. The commanders of the embroidery guards are all third-rank officials, and the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is even a second-rank official. No matter how nonsense it is. "

When Jia Qiang heard this, she smiled unnaturally...

Empress Yin laughed and said: "Others are only afraid of small officials, but now the emperor Long En, you are fine, look at your face full of reluctance. If the emperor does not favor you, and for your husband's sake, you will definitely eat me." I can’t walk around! However, I should be sensible.”

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Madam, I have no reluctance, but I am frightened. As a commander of soldiers and horses, I can do what I can do, and I don't want to belittle myself. I can do it well if I persist. Facts have also proved that I have done a lot. good……"

"Hahaha! Jia Qiang, you are too shameless! You... uh!"

Li Xuan almost died laughing at the side, and wanted to punch him with his hands, but he felt something was wrong. The eyes of Emperor Long'an and Empress Yin were a little hostile, and they hurriedly restrained themselves.

After Jia Qiang glanced at him sideways, she continued: "Is the minister self-aware? The head of the House of Internal Affairs, to put it bluntly, is to earn money? The conditions of the House of Internal Affairs are so good, can you earn some money for the emperor and the empress? I think I can do it too." It can be done. But the commander of the Embroidered Clothes Guard? I find it difficult to judge the scale. If the force is too light, maybe even the empress is not satisfied. Too much force? I am afraid that the emperor will feel bad..."

"Why are you talking nonsense? Why do I feel bad?"

Emperor Long'an's face turned black?scolded.

Jia Qiang hurriedly said: "Sir, servant? For example, Dai Quan, if the minister catches him and makes people deal with him severely, the emperor won't feel sorry for him?"

Dai Quan: "..."

Queen Yin covered her mouth and chuckled?Warned: "Jia Qiang? Don't be naughty, the emperor is telling you something serious!"

Look at Emperor Long'an's frown?Jia Qiang behaved?Said: "In short, I still feel that there must be a reliable person beside me to give me some advice... I am really afraid of spoiling the emperor's important affairs."

Emperor Long'an heard the words?His face softened a little, and he said slowly: "It's better to know how to be afraid than to be really lawless."

Empress Yin smiled and said: "He and the fifth emperor are playful in small things, but they still know how to measure in big things. Just now, the two of them said that they want to run a business in the Ministry of Internal Affairs? They didn't tell the concubine when they were talking about it. They say they can earn 200 million taels of silver, and they want to build gardens for the emperor and his concubines."

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, his heart softened a little, he glanced at the two of them, and said: "There is no rush, even if you don't mention the worries of the world first, and the joys of the world later, but the millions of people in the world are still struggling. How can the empress and I spend 200 million taels to build a garden to enjoy ourselves?"

Jia Qiang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, in fact, I still said that. A rich person like the Emperor can spend more money. It is best to drive the clan princes, relatives of the emperor and the rich to spend money together. Ordinary people can spend more money. I have the opportunity to earn money to support my family and improve my livelihood. The last time I learned from the emperor, I went back and thought about it. The reason why so many dynasties in history books declined due to extravagance is because there was a problem of excess Second, the money they spent did not benefit the people at all, and was all corrupted by the corrupt officials below.

For example, if Tang Minghuang spent 1000 million yuan and it fell into the hands of ordinary craftsmen who did things, he might not even have a million yuan.The rest of the money was divided among the eunuchs, senior officials and dignitaries, and it was used to buy fields, which in turn aggravated the suffering of the people!But it is different now, the prince and his ministers are in charge of the House of Internal Affairs, and there is no guarantee for anything else. Seventy percent of the money spent by the House of Internal Affairs is guaranteed to fall into the hands of the people who actually do things. The emperor builds a garden, which can make thousands of The talented craftsmen, together with the family members behind them, tens of thousands of people live a good life!

Therefore, I feel that this money should be spent or it should be spent! "

"Jia Qiang, you are such a lucky minister!"

Emperor Long'an, who was always strict, was stunned for a while after hearing this, and then couldn't help but curse.

Empress Yin and Li Xuan laughed together, while Jia Yuanchun, Concubine Duan, Zhou Guiren, Yun Guiren, etc. beside them had their eyes wide open...

Li Xuan laughed and said, "If these words reach Yu Shi's ears, Jia Qiang will be dead!"

Jia Qiang sneered and said, "It's not that we spend the money from the treasury of the household department, but we earn the money we earn to honor the emperor and empress. Can those balls...that group of censors be in control?"

"Hahahahaha..."
