Your Majesty, You Can't

Chapter 32 - When the Court is in Progress

He Lanzhi bid farewell to Su Nuo after tidying up the court clothes, and walked into the palace under the guidance of the eunuchs.

Although there was still time for a cup of tea before the official morning court, many courtiers had already arrived in front of the Jinluan Hall, bustling with each other holding memorial books.As soon as they saw Prime Minister He Lan who had not been in court for three days, most of the civil and military officials flocked to Prime Minister He Lan.

"I haven't seen Lord Helan for three days, it's like three years. I miss Li very much," said a courtier.

"When Sun heard that Xiangye had been ill for three days, he was very worried, so he prepared a lot of caterpillar fungus for Xiangye to nourish his body. Please accept it with a smile." Another courtier said.

"Prime Minister, is your body in good health? Qian's mansion has taken in two good-looking girls, how would you like to send them to your lord for help after the court?" the courtier No. [-] said.

With a smile on his face, He Lanzhi replied to the ministers around him in a hurry.The general content of the reply is: I am in good health, thank you for your concern, no supplements, no money, don’t give it to women, and don’t give it to men.

Seeing He Lanzhi's uncharacteristic reaction, all the courtiers looked suspicious, "My lord, is this...?"

"It's not suitable to talk about this in the imperial palace. Besides, the morning court is about to start. Let me go in soon." He Lanzhi interrupted everyone's suspicious topic, and entered the Golden Palace first with the memorial book in hand.

The rest of the courtiers saw that Prime Minister He Lan entered the hall with one hand covering the sky, and they didn't dare to stay on the steps for a while, so they entered the Jinluan Hall together, and lined up one by one according to their grades.

As soon as the five watch clappers were beaten, the imperial eunuch's sharp announcement resounded through the hall, "The emperor has arrived—"

He Lan's eyes looked in all directions, imitating the civil and military movements of the Manchu Dynasty and bowed down to congratulate him together, "I greet your majesty, all blessings, your majesty."

Zhao Yin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, raised his hand slightly, "Your Excellency, please excuse me."

"I am waiting to thank the emperor."

He Lanzhi got up and looked up, and saw Zhao Yin wearing a dragon robe with a crown on his head at a glance.

This was the first time that He Lanzhi saw Zhao Yin from a long distance. The little emperor, who usually only acted coquettishly and cutely in front of him, suddenly sat on the dragon chair and listened to the government seriously. This contrast made the little emperor's tight pink face cuter.

He Lanzhi stared at the little emperor, and the corners of his lips raised a slight arc unconsciously.

Zhao Yin, who had no expression on his face, listened to a certain courtier's nonsense report, clicked his tongue lightly, then moved his eyes away from him, and scanned all the civil and military officials.

It's all a bunch of mediocre, ignorant and incompetent waste.

Zhao Yin was about to withdraw his eyes and close his eyes to listen to the music, but suddenly he saw a slight smile on the lips of He Lanzhi, who stood at the top of all officials.

"He Lanqing has such an expression," Zhao Yin interrupted the courtier's cumbersome words, "but is there a performance to start?"

He Lan was taken aback, and couldn't help but look up at the little emperor, and asked with his eyes, "Let me tell?"

Zhao Yin nodded.

Eh? !Why did it come to him all of a sudden?Obviously, the other courtiers were only halfway through the talk before?There is absolutely no defense at all, and no worries at all!The little emperor doesn't play his cards according to routine!

Zhao Yin looked down at He Lanzhi's quietly changing expression, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something interesting in this boring court.

This was the first time he saw He Lanzhi showing a flustered look, and similarly, it was the first time he saw that beautiful father-in-law roll his eyes and ask him questions.

It is extremely rare.

"I report," He Lanzhi forced himself to calm down, and then said in a loud voice, "I heard that due to the floods in the Jianghuai area in recent months, many fields have been flooded, and many people have been unable to eat food. I hope the emperor will come down." for disaster relief."

"Oh?" Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows, "I remember allocating 1000 million taels of silver to let Xiangfu be responsible for disaster relief."

A certain person known as Xiangfu couldn't help but slander: who knows where the original prime minister got the 1000 million taels... probably all of them went to buy bird's nests.

He Lanzhi was a little helpless, so he had to play again, "Your Majesty is so generous, I thank the Emperor on behalf of the people of the world. But there are still some people who are not full, and I hope that Your Majesty can allocate some more money..."

"Then I will allocate another 500 million taels of silver." The little emperor stretched out his finger and nodded He Lanzhi, "Don't use all of it to buy candy?"

All the courtiers couldn't help laughing secretly when they heard the emperor's innocent and childlike words.

Only He Lanzhi nodded bitterly while holding the playbook, with a slightly sad expression on his face.

Alas, the remaining 500 million taels had to be paid out of private money.
