After the father of the subjugated country secretly read my heart, he became angry.

The breeze blows slowly in the Bamboo Garden, where the literati are reciting poems and writing poems, which is the most elegant.

Xu Jijiu even boasted, "I look at bamboo every day just to remind myself to learn from its unbreakable character."

Oh my god.

Mr. Liu was speechless, people from this scholarly family were just different.

No wonder the emperor thought he was stupid before.

Look, a big corrupt official pretended it to himself!

"Yes, I also feel that there is a lot of poetry in this courtyard. If you let me go around for a while, I might be able to imitate Cao Zhi's seven-step poem and make a good one."

As Master Liu spoke, he put his hands behind his back and walked in a circle in the bamboo garden.

Xu Jijiu hesitated to speak, but it was too late to stop him.

Mr. Liu seemed to be walking around in the bamboo garden, reciting poems and poems, and he looked very comfortable.

But he was actually paying attention to his feet.

The soil was the wrong color, it was new.

Um? It looked like it had just been turned over last night.

Looking at the entire yard, Mr. Liu noticed that the color of the soil was the same as that of one or two years ago. It did not look like old soil where bamboos had been planted for a long time.

Others can't see it, but Mr. Liu was still studying hard in the village when he was a scholar, and he usually helped in the fields when he was busy in autumn.

He grew up in the fields and could cultivate with a hoe with his eyes closed.

Mr. Liu read a messy poem and gave his wife a look.

Then he followed Xu Jijiu to the pavilion to drink tea, "Come on, I was about to congratulate you on your great-grandson."

Mrs. Liu immediately turned around and walked towards the place where Master Liu had stepped on just now.

She smiled slightly at Mrs. Xu, who was coming to entertain her, "I'm really greedy after seeing so many fresh bamboo shoots at your house."

Mrs. Xu stiffened after hearing this, but quickly smiled, "You go to my room and sit for a while. I will bring you a basket home later."

"Sure! Then I'm welcome." Mrs. Liu smiled, but she slowly squatted down where Mr. Liu had stopped just now.

"Don't give us big ones either. I think this newly planted small bamboo shoot will do just fine."

As she said this, she was about to stand up, but soon she fell down and fell to the ground.

The body quickly acted like it could only hold on to the bamboo shoots in a hurry!

As a result, with just one pull, she pulled out several bamboo shoots nearby, including the roots and mud!

Mrs. Xu was shocked and rushed over to cover it up!

Xu Jijiu in the pavilion stood up suddenly and knocked over the tea on the table!

I saw that the roots of the tender bamboo shoots in Mrs. Liu's hand were not even stained with soil!

*

In Chonghua Palace, the emperor smiled and took over the daughter Chu Chu sent by Wei Zheng.

"My little princess, is it cold?"

He quickly touched Chu Chu's pink and tender little hands.

I was about to ask someone to light another pot on the stove in the palace.

He saw his daughter Chu Chu turning over and looking out the window with interest.

She murmured, then thought in her heart, "The Queen's family actually sent someone to tell my grandfather to help the eldest prince become the crown prince." 】

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.

[They actually threatened my grandfather, saying that the emperor would not allow the prince and mother to have a high position in the family and do things for the world. He told my grandfather that if he wanted to be promoted, he could only help the eldest prince ascend the throne. 】

Xiao Yunzhou's chest heaved and his vision went dark.

The hands of the queen's party are really stretching longer and longer!

In their eyes, do they still have him as an emperor? ?

Is it to make them happy if he is ignored?

Xiao Chuchu watched the live broadcast of the system and didn't notice Xiao Yunzhou's anger at all. She looked at Mr. Liu and said happily, "Hey, grandma didn't pay attention to him at all. He said that in his heart, he was only loyal to the emperor and worked for the people." 】

Xiao Yunzhou's expression suddenly turned from anger to joy.

The Liu family is decent.

In this way, he felt relieved to establish the fifth prince.

Even if he does die young in the future, the Liu family will not do anything to shun the Xiao royal family!

[Hey, why did my grandfather go to Xu Ji Restaurant? ] Xiao Chuchu was surprised and made a sound in her heart while watching the live broadcast.

Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows, a little unhappy.

The empress's father was a veteran of three dynasties. He presided over the imperial examinations and accepted many new scholars as students.

As a result, although the Queen's father is no longer in the court, he has a group of helpers who speak for the Queen's family.

What happened to Mr. Liu?

Being stimulated by the people sent by the Queen, he also followed the example of the Queen's father and went to the Imperial College to offer wine and drink?

The Imperial College is the place where talents from the Hanlin Academy come from!

Could it be that the Liu family still wants to learn to be the second queen's family? Recruit students and control the court?

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but be suspicious.

Xiao Chuchu didn't notice the emperor's father's emotions, and soon realized after watching the live broadcast, [It turns out that my grandpa went to congratulate him on his great-grandson. 】

Xiao Yunzhou still did not relax.

There are superficial reasons for the movements of these officials.

But privately they are cliques.

Do they think he doesn't know?

If Liu Lao really did that, he would at most not punish him severely for the sake of Xiao Gege and the Fifth Prince, but he would have to leave him idle in the future.

He had no choice but to do it not for himself, but for the future that Jingguo would still be named Xiao instead of Liu!

Xiao Yunzhou thought so.

But in an instant, his daughter's next words made his unhappiness disappear, and he still blamed himself.

【ah! Grandfather went to Xu Jiujiu Bamboo Forest! Ah, he discovered millions of taels of silver buried under the bamboo forest! 】

[Oh, it turns out that my grandpa is not there to congratulate him, but to catch bribery criminals for the emperor’s father! 】

"!"

Xiao Yunzhou: "!"

Xiao Yunzhou was shocked, and unprecedented self-blame and shock surrounded him!

He mistakenly blamed Mr. Liu for his loyalty!

In an instant, he stood up.

"Wei Zheng, I remember that Xu Jijiu got a great-grandson recently, but is that so?"

"Come here, prepare a car. I want to pay a private visit incognito to Xu Ji Restaurant to 'congratulate' him!"

Xiao Chuchu blinked her big, watery grape eyes, and soon she became happy, "Emperor Dad, take me with you~"

[Oh, I want to go too~ I want to go dig for money~ and watch the corruption criminals be caught on the spot! 】

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou immediately became happy and said, "Sangege will go with me."

Halfway through, he stopped again and said, "Wei Zheng, go to the front and call the cabinet and the six people on duty!"

Cabinet Chamber.

Several first and second assistants were talking to the Imperial Court and Dali Temple when they heard the emperor's order.

"What? The emperor asked us to put down what we were doing and go offer wine to Xu to congratulate our great-grandson on his full moon?"

What play is this singing about?

"The emperor is getting a little younger after all," Mr. Fuchage was the first to smile. "Before, he was reprimanding officials in court, but now he can put down his dignity and repair the relationship with his ministers."

When everyone heard it, they all thought it made sense.

"The emperor wanted to save face and couldn't come to talk to us in person, so he took advantage of the Imperial Academy's wine ceremony to show that he didn't want to have a quarrel with the officials."

"That's right." The Minister of Civil Affairs followed his beard and said, "The emperor cannot control the world by himself, he still has to rely on the cabinet and the six ministries."

They were also happy to give the emperor a step up.

I quickly packed my things and went to accompany the emperor.

But willingly, the cabinet and the six ministries still refused to admit defeat easily.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet is very busy today. The performance evaluation of officials from various places has not yet been completed, and we have to prepare for the imperial examination at the beginning of the new year. You asked us to go to the Jijiu house to meet Xu Jijiu. It is really a mobilization of troops and people."

"Yes, Your Majesty, my staff also has a lot of things to do."

"Our military department is the same, we can't leave at all!"

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou laughed angrily and remained silent all the way.

Until I entered the gate of Xu Jijiu, I heard the sound coming from the small courtyard behind -

"Ah Xu Jijiu, your bamboo shoots are so clean, but there is a little bit of mud on them when you pull them out..."

"It turns out it was planted on boxes of silver coins!"

Mr. Liu shouted loudly and looked strangely angry.

"You actually have so much silver hidden under your bamboo garden! Xu Jijiu, you corrupt and corrupt person!"

The first assistant, second assistant, and six department officials at the door were all dumbfounded!
