Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

It was rare to see such a vivid expression on the face of the calm old fox. Wan Yanxu couldn't help but gloated and said, "Master Hu has been in charge of the salt administration for more than [-] years, and he has made a contribution to the imperial court." Many..."

The old fox Hu Shining narrowed his eyes slightly, but did not speak.

"The sage said, a gentleman loves money, and he gets it in a proper way. Does Mr. Hu think so?"

Why bother to ask knowingly?

Hu Shining's complexion changed, and he remained silent angrily. It is estimated that the person sitting in front of him is not Wanyan Xu, a noble clan and nobleman, but this old man who has held a high position and authority for most of his life may turn his back on him and leave at any time.

Wan Yanxu didn't care, and continued to grin and say: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm here to raise funds for disaster relief under the order of the emperor's grandfather. Everything is to alleviate the disaster situation and relieve the victims. I don't have time to take care of other things at the moment, and I won't be fine. Look for things to go back to the past, and make things happen for nothing."

After hearing His Royal Highness's words, more than half of the officials present couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief.

"As for the accounts of the three politics of salt, iron, and copper, I believe the three adults know it well, so I don't need to waste my words." Looking over one by one, every official who was stared at by Wanyan Xu couldn't help but hold his head high. , sat up straight, Wanyan Xu was amused when he saw it, coughed lightly, pretended to be mature and prudent, and said solemnly: "Nowadays, the heavens are warning and disasters are coming, why don't you adults generously donate money and food, and treat it as a donation for your descendants Future generations will do good deeds."

After being coerced and lured by His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, all the officials present wanted to understand a truth. If the emperor wanted his ministers to die, the ministers had to die, let alone donating money and food. A resolute attitude of swearing not to give up until the goal is achieved, saying that it is 300 million taels is 300 million taels, and there is not even a slight grace. It can be seen that there is no room for maneuver in the matter of fundraising and disaster relief.

"What His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson said is very true. The officials have been taught." The big fat magistrate took the lead to show his loyalty, and other officials, big and small, followed suit, vying to express their opinions first, lest they be left behind.

Wan Yanxu nodded in satisfaction.

In a harmonious atmosphere, only the officials responsible for the three policies of salt, copper and iron were still looking at each other. They had just been criticized by Wan Yanxu, especially Hu Shining, who was already old and famous. He is highly respected, yet he is still being ridiculed and criticized by a yellow-mouthed child with eccentricities. You can tell from the old man's expression at this time that he is suffocating, and he probably won't be so easy to submit obediently.

Wanyan Xu knew everything in his mind, so he wasn't afraid of the old fox Hu Shining's schemes. Anyway, his primary goal was to raise funds. As for the rest, we will discuss it later.

Hu Shining really wanted to make a small stumbling block with Wanyan Xu, but it was not a good time right now, especially when more than half of his colleagues had already defected. Hu Shining also had no way to challenge Wan Yanxu openly at this time and place.

At this point, the old fox Hu Shining could only sigh, gritted his teeth and said: "His Royal Highness is young, but he can suffer from the suffering of the people and worry about the people's worries. This official admires him. If His Royal Highness does not dislike it, I am willing to help you His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, is doing the work of a dog and a horse to do his best."

Wan Yanxu couldn't help being happy after hearing this, even though he knew that Hu Shining was acting in favor of others, and his verbal treatment of himself might not represent his sincerity, but Wanyan Xu still felt a sense of accomplishment when he had the opportunity to see the old fox show weakness After all, winning the first battle is something worth celebrating no matter how you look at it.

"Lord Hu, you are polite." Wanyan Xu showed a generous smile, with a hint of complacency, but compared to Wanyan Chuo's flamboyance, with his calm and introverted personality, showing off is also very reserved. "It's just to share the worries of Grandpa Huang, but I'm still young, and there are still many things I don't understand. I would like to ask Mr. Hu to enlighten me."

"Don't dare! Don't dare!" Hearing this tone, the old fox Hu Shining was so angry that his teeth were almost gnawed. "Since that's the case, the officer will take his leave first."

"Master Hu has something to do, so I won't stay any longer." Seeing that Hu Shining has been an official for more than [-] years, Wanyan Xu respected the old and cared for the young, got up and made a gesture of seeing off the guests, showing all the courtesy Said: "Master Hu, go slowly, don't send it off!"

Hu Shining was full of anger, and bowed tremblingly to salute Wan Yanxu. When he straightened his waist, he didn't know whether it was from a rush of anger, or because he was old and lacked energy. Falling backwards, Hu Shining would have almost fallen to the ground if the colleague behind him hadn't been quick to help him.

Seeing this, Wan Yanxu took advantage of the situation to persuade him: "Master Hu is old, you should take care of your health, feed your grandchildren, take care of your life, don't worry too much about state affairs!"

A child with a yellow mouth is a child with a yellow mouth, with only a sharp mouth left, who will not forgive others if he is reasonable, and will disturb others even if he is unreasonable.

Hu Shining was indignant, but he also knew in his heart that he had stumbled today, and he could only blame himself for looking away. He didn't expect that His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the emperor, who has always been calm, would be such a difficult role. To know yourself and the enemy, you deserve what you deserve.

"My condolences to His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson of the Emperor Lao."

Under Wanyan Xu's smiling and well-hidden gaze, Hu Shining brushed away his colleague's hand that was supporting him, and pretended to leave calmly, leaving behind a stooped, staggering back figure, revealing A sense of despondency.

Without Hu Shining who was in charge, none of the other officials, big or small, dared to make decisions without authorization. They immediately followed suit and left after leaving. After receiving the consent of His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, they filed out and left cleanly.

There was a large table of delicacies from mountains and seas, delicious wine and delicacies, but few people really moved their chopsticks. Although the cups and plates were not messed up, the wine glasses placed on the table were lonely. No one drank or touched. It looked very pitiful.

After everyone had left, Wanyan Xu picked up the flagon and poured himself a glass of wine. Through the half-closed screen window, with the bright silver light of a new moon, he drank and entertained himself.

"His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson!"

When Si Tui rushed in in a panic, Wanyan Xu was raising his head and drank the glass of wine in his hand in one gulp. He was so happy that he couldn't swallow the aroma of the wine in his mouth.

"His Royal Highness... something is wrong!" Si Tui fell to his knees on the cold and hard ground with a plop as soon as he entered the door, kept kowtowing, and cried in a crying voice: "His Royal Highness... please You help me..."

"Speak well!" The confrontation with the old fox Hu Shining just now did not fall short, Wanyan Xu was very happy, Si Tui's offense did not spoil his good mood, so Wanyan Xu did not sternly reprimand Si Tui He was too reckless and didn't know the rules. Seeing Wanyan Chuo's face, Wanyan Xu just frowned slightly, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "What a fuss, what a shame! Is that what Shi Ziye taught you? ?”

"The eldest son is gone!" Si Tui's eyes were already swollen from crying, and he buried his head and choked with sobs, "His Royal Highness, the eldest grandson, the eldest son... all blame Si Tui for failing to protect the eldest son!"

"What did you say?" Wanyan Xu paled in shock, stood up in a panic, and even accidentally knocked down the wine glass that was just put down, the empty wine glass rolled several times on the table and fell to the ground, making a crisp sound The sound of cracking was drowned by Wanyan Xu's angry roar: "What's going on? Tell me clearly."

Wanyan Xu was angry and impatient, and stared at Si Tui angrily, so frightened that Si Tui couldn't help shivering, full of fear, he could not help but see from His Royal Highness's livid face and undisguised killing intent. It's hard to guess, if something really happened to Shi Ziye, I'm afraid he would not be enough to be buried with Shi Ziye if he was cut alive.

"His Royal Highness..." Si Tui raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said sobbingly: "My son said staying in the inn was too boring and wanted to go out for a stroll, but...the result..."

"I can't even look down on the elder son! What's the use of you slaves!" The more Wanyan Xu listened, the more angry he became, pointing at Si Tui's nose, and yelling: "It's fine if you mess around, how do you serve the elder son? If you don’t grow your brains, why don’t you bring a few more people with you when you go out? Even if it’s just a small knife or a small bone! One more person can take care of multiple people, and no matter what happens, you won’t lose all of your son? What is your identity, don’t you, a dog slave, not know? My Uncle Six, that is, His Royal Highness King Rong, has only one son, who is delicate and expensive, and has a body of ten thousand gold. If something goes wrong, you, a dog slave, will be responsible for it. Can you afford it?"

Si Tui lowered his head and cried aggrievedly, without making any excuses.

In fact, after scolding, Wan Yanxu also knew that he was probably wronged and wanted to retire. With Wanyan Chuo's willfulness, even eight cows could not pull back the decision. what Lord?It's not that he can only follow Wanyan Chuo's orders.

"Say it, you dog slave! How did you lose the son?"

Only then did Si Tui tell Wan Yan Xu all the ins and outs in a choked voice, after hearing this, Wan Yan Xu's face turned ashen, what kind of status is the majestic Prince Rong's son?Just for a meat bun?Come up with such a big thing!Wanyan Xu was so angry that he didn't even know what to say. After Wanyan Chuo was found, he must teach this ignorant brat a good lesson. Wanyan Chuo must have a long memory. It's too hateful!

Wanyan Xu was so anxious that he took a few deep breaths before he calmed down a little. He called for Xiaodao and Xiaogu, and ordered them to go to the fat man's magistrate overnight, lead the troops to search the whole city, and bring the Shizi back as soon as possible without any mistakes.

Xiaodao and Xiaogu also knew that the matter was of great importance, so they took orders to leave.

Si Tui knelt on the ground and kept crying, Wan Yan Xu was upset when he heard it, and he said, "What's the use of crying! You dog slave, if something happens to the son, be careful of your head!"

"Si Tui is willing to suffer any punishment!" Si Tui kowtow respectfully, he is not afraid of death, what he is worried about is Wanyan Chuo's safety. "The son of the world has the grace of rebuilding Si Tui, and Si Tui has a humble life. There is no repayment for Si Tui, only death."

Wanyan Xu didn't even look at Si Tui who was kneeling on the ground, snorted coldly, and walked away.
