Reincarnated vassal system

A wonderful morning is accompanied by another morning morning. Generally speaking, if nothing special happens, the new morning morning should still be used with the original formula and original taste.According to international practice, first the ministers tried to shirk their responsibilities, and then the censor began to fight all kinds of scholars, picking on the emperor, kicking the little beggars on the side of the road, and not forgetting to give eye drops to his colleagues and friends. Make a kick or something.

But today's morning court had something to do, so His Majesty passed on with a cold look, and this usual scene was over.It's rare for Shangshu Hubu to take a break without crying, but Doctor Yushi is keeping a close eye on what the emperor is about to announce, planning to grab a chance to speak later.

Since he is a speaker, he would be ashamed to receive the imperial salary if he doesn't chatter, right?

The Jinluan Hall finally became quiet. Emperor Jianyuan coughed lightly twice, and eunuch Mu En went forward with an order, and directly announced the Empress Dowager's [-]th birthday. In previous years, this matter was handled in the harem, by Concubine Du Gui Taking the lead has been considered appropriate over the years.But today, because of her full age, Concubine Du Gui recently "recited scriptures wholeheartedly", so Emperor Jianyuan planned to have fun with the courtiers and hold a feast for his mother and queen.

As soon as Eunuch Mu En finished announcing the decree, the Minister of Rites immediately stood up.The affairs of guests and banquets have always been in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Rites thought that this time was probably no exception, so he directly asked the main point, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager, will the expenses be recorded in the national treasury or allocated by the Ministry of Internal Affairs?"

The emperor is holding a birthday banquet for his mother with all his filial piety. You said that the minister of the Ministry of Rites is so short-sighted. When you mention this matter, he looks like a vulgar man, and it makes the emperor unhappy.It stands to reason that the Minister of Rites has been in the officialdom for many years, so he wouldn't be so blind. This move is really forced and helpless.

Sure enough, as Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites was worried about, as soon as he finished speaking, the emperor hadn't expressed his displeasure. The Shangshu of the Ministry of Households jumped out and said the old routine of thousands of years, "Your Majesty, the treasury is empty, and the ministers have worked hard to plan. It is enough to support the operation of the imperial court, and there is really not much money to spend!"

Anyway, begging for nothing, opening his mouth, asking for money, or not giving it!

Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites gave his old colleague Lai a paralyzed look, and it was exactly as he expected.Fortunately, I spoke first, otherwise I didn't mention it now, and when I finished my busy work, the Ministry of Accounts would not pay the money, and the Ministry of Rites would be in short supply. Even if he was risking the world, he couldn't let this happen!

I have to say that few of the six Shangshu are not big bosses.

Emperor Jianyuan frowned fiercely when he heard the words, looked around at all the ministers, and bowed his head when he saw each of them, which made the emperor very angry.He swiped again, and suddenly saw a person raised his head slightly.

"Does Gu Aiqing have something to say?" Emperor Jianyuan directly called the name, with a line of big characters written in his eyes - "If you dissatisfy me, ha ha."

Gu Huai, who was suddenly named, paused slightly, with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, I believe that this sum of money can be allocated from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Emperor Jianyuan's face darkened even more.All the ministers also cast admiring glances at Gu Huai, and directly asked to get money from the palace treasury, they are really brave men.

However, Gu Huai continued, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has paid for many expenses during the imperial court. Therefore, the expenditure of the imperial palace's treasury has been increasing day by day, so that it can't make ends meet. I think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs can reduce this part of the expenditure as appropriate."

Emperor Jianyuan looked a little better, thinking about the feasibility of this matter slightly.Ignoring the bad faces of many ministers, he asked, "In Gu Qing's opinion, which areas of expenditure can be cut?"

Gu Huai looked frank, "I think that the cost of writing and ink used by the Secretary of General Administration to copy the imperial edicts can be moderately reduced."

As soon as these words came out, the entire court fell silent for an instant, followed by whispers that exploded.This person actually cut the source of money for the government office where he works. Is this selfless or just wanting to pat the emperor's fart?

"Just follow what Gu Aiqing said."

When the court ended and everyone dispersed, Gu Huai stood where he was, turned around, and saw Gu Yu looking at him with a pale face.He showed a very considerate smile, "Is the second brother unwell?"

Gu Yu gave him a stern glance, turned around and left the Jinluan Hall.At this moment, he was in a state of confusion, did Gu Huai know about the gold powder?

At the same time, the memorial of Wei Guogong's invitation to establish a son was also presented to Qianyuan Palace.

"Yo, it's strange, is this old Duke of Wei willing to have a son?" Emperor Jianyuan received the memorial, and before he could read it, eunuch Mu En came in with the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and directly handed over the account booklet of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Emperor Jianyuan was too lazy to read such a thick booklet, so he said lazily, "Which imperial offices have been allocated funds by the Ministry of Internal Affairs as usual, tell me."

The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs responded fluently, "Your Majesty, it is mainly for the six departments, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial Academy, the General Administration Department and other official departments. They are just for official business, and the amount is not large."

"Not much?" Emperor Jianyuan immediately lost interest when he heard it, and felt that Gu Huai's proposal was really tasteless.He signaled Mu En to leave the account books aside, and planned to read the memorial of Wei Guogong's invitation to establish a son, but when he saw the name on it, his lips tightened a little.

At this time, the voice of the inner supervisor's communication sounded, "Report to the emperor, the second prince asks to see you."

"Second? What is he doing here?" Emperor Jianyuan's voice was clearly displeased. Although he temporarily gave the power of the harem to Concubine De, it did not mean that he had any expectations for the mother and son. "Let him in."

The second prince agreed to enter. Compared with his brother, this person's appearance is not outstanding, and it can even be said that he has a simple and honest appearance that is rarely seen in the royal family.Holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, he came in in a daze, saluted dryly and said directly, "Father, my son has carved "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" on the bamboo slips, and I want to present it to the emperor's grandmother as a gift." Birthday, what do you think, father?"

Emperor Jianyuan once again suspected that the second child was not his own species.Seeing the stunned look of the second prince, he immediately lost his temper. He directly threw the things at hand at him, "Even if you copy this, it is better than Lao Shizi's nine chapters!"

"Yes, father." The second prince responded in a daze, flipping through the things thrown by the emperor and reading a few words, "In May of the 18th year of Jianyuan, the Department of General Administration and Experience Department, gold powder 50 taels, handled by: Gu Yu." He Holding the account book in his hand, he asked innocently, "Father, are you going to copy this?"

"Wait a minute, what did you say?" Emperor Jianyuan felt that he had heard it wrong, "Repeat it."

The second prince repeated again: "In May of the 18th year of Jianyuan, the Department of General Administration and Experience Department, 60 taels of gold powder, dealt with: Gu Yu. Father, do you want to copy this?"

Eunuch Mu En could not bear to look away.

Emperor Jianyuan squinted his eyes tightly, and tapped his index finger rhythmically on the table, as if inadvertently darting towards the head of the House of Internal Affairs, but an unknown light flashed in his eyes.His tone was very calm, "Second brother, read the entire context."

The second prince followed suit, "...in April 17th year of Jianyuan, the Department of General Administration and Experience Department, six taels of gold powder, dealt with: Gu He."

"...In May of the 17th year of Jianyuan, the Experience Department of the General Administration Department, six liang of gold powder, dealt with: Gu He."

"...In June of the 17th year of Jianyuan, the Experience Department of the General Administration Department, 15 taels of gold powder, handled by: Gu Yu."

"...In October of the 17th year of Jianyuan, the Experience Department of the General Administration Department, 35 taels of gold powder, handled by: Gu Yu."

"...January, 18th year of Jianyuan, Department of General Administration and Experience, 60 taels of gold powder, dealt with by: Gu Yu."

"...Jianyuan..."

"Emperor, don't read it." The first time Emperor Jianyuan spoke to the second prince in such a gentle tone, he was quite flattered. Emperor Jianyuan asked him softly, "Emperor, it may be from June three years ago. What is the total amount of gold dust that Yu has spent since the beginning of handling?"

"A total of two thousand one hundred and forty five taels of gold powder." The second prince calculated quickly.

"Two thousand one hundred and forty five taels." Emperor Jianyuan laughed outright when he heard the amount, and looked at the head of internal affairs standing below with his head bowed deeply, his sleeves trembling all the time, "It's not a big amount?"

"A slave deserves death!" The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately fell to his knees, his whole body lying on the ground, "Long live, please forgive me!"

"Just put the account book in front of me like this, and I don't even bother to make a fake account." Emperor Jianyuan's tone was still gentle, but his face changed in the next second, "You fool me like this, but you have a few brains!" With a flick of his sleeve, all the things on the table were swept away, and the heavy inkstone directly hit the head of the House of Internal Affairs, but the second prince just turned his body sideways to avoid the heavy object.

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Qianyuan Palace immediately fell to its knees.

"Why did I ever get angry?" He slapped the table directly with his palm, "Gu Yu, this name is familiar, the concubine's good nephew." He pointed to the head of the House of Internal Affairs, "You are also a good one, I remember your surname is Du, Is it right?"

The Chief of Internal Affairs was too frightened to answer.

"But I don't know, my favorite, you are so spoiled." Emperor Jianyuan's eyes fell on the memorial that was still left on the table, and it was opened, which happened to be the content of Duke Wei's request to make Gu Shiping his son.

……

"1 taels of silver?" Du Liyu swept the debt booklet re-sent by the governor of Jingzhao on the ground, "These people dare to open their mouths like a lion! What a joke!"

The young man who delivered the booklet licked his face and picked it up again, "Madam Gu, this is already the final amount after my lord helped sift out many fishers in troubled waters, my lord has ordered, I only hope that you will appreciate it, and everyone will be happy." gone."

Du Liyu always felt that this person's voice sounded familiar, but she didn't think about anything after hearing his words, "Hey, what is he, he dares to ask my wife to accept his love! What kind of love does he have to judge a muddled case? Blackmail me with 1 taels of silver? You let him snatch it!"

"That's not what you said, Mrs. Gu." The young man looked sincere, "My lord is really thinking of you. Let's take a step back, my lord respects Mr. Gu and his wife before you have time, so why would you say you're lying? Think about it, you will be the mistress of the Duke of Wei's mansion in the future, a mere 1 taels of silver is nothing, right?"

The mistress of the Duke of Wei's mansion obviously liked Du Liyu's words. She thought that the Duke had already handed in the memorial to invite him to be a son, and she felt very comfortable. She had endured it for decades, and it was time to turn around!As she thought about it, she couldn't help showing a little joy on her face.

The young man strikes while the iron is hot, "You say yes, Mrs. Shizi."

Mrs. Shizi!This title made Du Liyu's whole body smooth, and the face of the annoying debt collector in front of him didn't seem so ugly anymore.She raised her chin, "You can talk."

"Hey, right, Mrs. Shizi, looking at it this way, compared with the huge Duke of Wei's mansion, 1 taels of silver is only a drop in the bucket, right?" The young man put on a smiling face, and Du Liyu squinted at him, "That's right. so……"

She was talking, but suddenly the subject changed, "1 taels, you'd better go back and tell your adults that he will settle those troublesome people by himself, and my wife will not accept the debt."

The young man's facial features immediately went wrong, he frowned, immediately changed his soft-spoken attitude, and directly turned on the shrew cursing mode, "Oh, you old woman, I have talked to you so much , still with such a dead fish attitude, do you really think of yourself as the wife of the prince?"

He threw the booklet on the ground directly, "It's really shameless! It's natural to not pay back the debt, right! Shameless people are invincible!"

Being dumped by such a small official of Jingzhao Mansion, Du Liyu was also directly angry, "You dare to talk to me like that? Come on!"

"Come here—madam, what are you doing!" As soon as Du Liyu's voice fell, the young man sat on the ground with his hands tightly around his chest, but his voice increased countless decibels, "Come here! Madam Gu wants Molested people! Come here! Molested!"

When the guards of Duke Wei's mansion rushed to the reception room, they saw Du Liyu and her maid, Aunt Mu Zi, were stunned. When the two of them saw the guards coming, they rushed over shyly, "Brother, help me! Madame wants to molested me!"

Guard: ... Did they directly see the scene of the wife and concubine? It's scary...

Du Liyu was almost driven crazy by this person, "You—someone, throw this person out of the house for me!"

The guards looked at each other, and finally picked up the young man and threw him out of Duke Wei's mansion.

The young man who was directly thrown on the ground and gnawed on the mud uttered "Bah bah" twice at the Duke of Wei's mansion, and limped to the side. Just as he turned the corner, his body suddenly lightened, and he was picked up briskly. The ground was turned over the wall and returned to the place where it had just left.

After enjoying a high-altitude leap, he almost fainted and vomited while grabbing his bodyguard.Being carried directly to a quiet small building, Gu Huai raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Have you been molested?"

He breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh yes, your aunt is really fierce!"

"An Xiang, I remember seeing you a few months ago, but you didn't look like this."

Gu Huai looked at the young man in front of him. When he first found out through the system that the scolding champion hired by the secret guard in Dongnei Erhutong was An Xiang, he couldn't believe it. Jump like a firecracker.

An Xiang smiled and said, "For the sake of making a living! The Anxiangfang was left by my father, so it can't be lost to me. But these days, most of the works of the authors in the workshop are stolen by small stalls on the street. The price is really low. It is really difficult for the Anxiangfang to maintain itself."

Gu Huai didn't speak, but An Xiang just casually said a word and stopped talking, directly talking about the business that his employer entrusted to him, "It seems that your aunt is not willing to take out the 100 million taels."

"She failed to get 50 taels of silver from the shop my grandma left behind, no, or even if she got it, she wouldn't be willing to pay it back, let alone 100 million taels." Gu Huai didn't blame her. An Xiang didn't do anything good, but just took the booklet, "Don't worry, he will soon feel that 100 million taels is too little."

The 1 taels was just a price raised by Du Liyu himself, which was very empty.It can't compare to the thousands of taels of gold that Gu Yu actually took away from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

As if reflecting Gu Huai's words, after a while, the two people in the building heard the sound of the people in the mansion moving quickly, and the secret guard reported, "Someone is coming from the palace."

"Your Majesty acted swiftly this time." Gu Huai sighed slightly, "Sure enough, the kindness has passed away."

Listening to the imperial decree, the blood on Du Liyu's face faded inch by inch until she was pale.The eunuch who announced the decree was a new young eunuch, but he was a bit jealous. After reading the imperial decree, he threw it at Du Liyu, "Your Excellency is suspected of committing a crime, please ask Madam to let Mr. Gu Yu go with you."

"Elder-in-law, let's see if this is accommodating..." Once again, Du Liyu made up her mind to prevent her son from being imprisoned, so she hurriedly stuffed a few coins for the little eunuch Yinzi, thinking that this little eunuch might be a newcomer and not aware of his own dignity, made another sentence, "The imperial concubine will also remember you."

"The imperial concubine?" The little eunuch sneered, "Where is the imperial concubine? I don't know, we still have a noble concubine."

It really came out of the ravine!Du Liyu thought to herself, why would this second idiot be sent to the majestic Duke of Wei's mansion to announce the decree?Du Liyu cursed secretly in her heart, but looking at the battle, it really didn't look like she dared to pretend, she gritted her teeth and stuffed another piece of money, "Grandpa..."

The little eunuch collected the money without changing his expression, and when he turned around, he waved his sleeves, "Come here, please come out, Mr. Gu Yu!"
