Chapter 551 The Emperor and Qianqiu

Today, several prime ministers stayed until sunset after the morning court, and even lunch was used in the side hall of the Chuigong Hall. They discussed how to implement several important government decrees in recent times and how to deal with some headaches of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Of course, the most important thing was that the Northern Yan rebellion was quelled, and the Northern Yan Emperor returned to Shangjing and issued an edict to guilty himself.

For Beiyan, who has always attached more importance to military power, and the Beiyan Emperor, who has always used extraordinary strength to sweep all opponents since the beginning of his ascension, this is very abnormal, and it is enough to make the emperor and ministers of the Great Wu worry that the north will not give up after the rebellion has just subsided and still want to go south to the Central Plains. Therefore, the various possibilities and response plans alone have discussed seven or eight kinds.

Therefore, the emperor had just watched a group of prime ministers leave, and before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he could not help but be stunned when he heard Yue Qianqiu ask for a meeting. You must know that Yue Qianqiu now has no fixed responsibilities - the one who was barely missing in the past was also given to the little girl Zhou of Bailian Sect - and, when the sunset was setting, Yue Qianqiu ran away to say what?

For the sake of Xuanwuze, killing and murdering for the so-called poisoning of the King of Jin's mansion? That should have come a long time ago, how could it be delayed until now?

But the emperor was too lazy to think too much, so he nodded and ordered the pass to see him. After a while, he saw Yue Qianqiu coming to the front of him excitedly, and bowed and sang a big bow without saying a word.

"Good Emperor."

"It's not good at seeing you! Tell me, something happened again, do you want me to have a preparation?"

"Uh..." Yue Qianqiu straightened his waist and said with a grievance, "Master, I have not entered the palace every time for bad things. Didn't I tell you good things or good suggestions in the past?"

"Well, there are occasionally, but your good advice can scare people every time." The emperor didn't take Yue Qianqiu's costume seriously. Dong Dong tapped the table twice with his finger and said bluntly, "When I'm mentally prepared, you can say, what's the matter? I'll agree if I can. Don't mess with me if I can't!"

Although the emperor's tone seemed very rude and even a little impatient, Chen Wuliang, who was beside him, knew that the emperor was always gentle and tolerant in front of the officials outside, and that was, he was easy-going and unruly towards the people close to him. He gestured to turn away other eunuchs and followers who served him, and then put a piece of attention at the emperor's hand.

Forget the time now, I should have had dinner... Yue Qianqiu was a little foodie, and he couldn't see or touch it. He should be short-stood and not delay the emperor's time to eat, right?

The emperor knew the little thoughts of Chen Wuliang, a loyal servant of the emperor, and Yue Qianqiu... also knew them well. After all, he was very familiar with the chief executive. Seeing the snacks, he had taken stock of the shops all day today. Even if he used lunch a little, he immediately felt a croaking sound in his stomach, and then his face drooped.

But at least he knew that he really wanted to eat at this moment. Although the emperor might not refuse to give it, it was too casual. He could only say hungry: "Your Majesty, Your Highness, King Jin has given me some things and ask me to speed up the time to help him find his nephew."

This opening remark successfully aroused the emperor's interest. He immediately put down his hand that had just reached out to pick up some snacks and asked thoughtfully: "I handed this to your master before, but I didn't expect Xiao Jingxian to stare at you. Then how are you going to help him find it?"

When Yue Qianqiu found out that the emperor obviously did not care about delivering things, he laughed dryly: "How can I find me, there is no clue at all, after all, I don't even have any clues. But the emperor knows what His Highness King Jin gave me? There are eight famous old shops in Jinling. Today, I took a rough inventory. It is worth about 400,000 taels, which is 400,000 taels and 400,000 jin and 400,000 jin, and 400,000 jin."

Yue Qianqiu converted it in different units, and the last number successfully made Chen Wuliang take a breath. It is true that the king of a country is rich in all over the world, and the expenses for the emperor every year are definitely not just this number. If Xiao Jingxian had this little family fortune in Beiyan people, it would be nothing, but he had secretly accumulated such a family fortune in Dawu, which would be completely different.

This means that Xiao Jing had already been secretly running in Nanwu, and this man had long wanted to come from Beiyan to Dawu!

The emperor also lost the joking look just now. His fingers couldn't help but rub the handrail. After a while, he laughed and said, "Xiao Jingxian, I really like to surprise everything. But, Qianqiu, you come here to report this to me, and you are not afraid that Xiao Jingxian will know and turn against you. He is crazy, and Emperor Beiyan wants to give him three points. Why do you have to tease him? He gives it to you, and you accept it with peace of mind. Could it be that I will still be thinking about this little money?"

"Instead of letting the ears report to the emperor, I might as well say it first, and I have my own ideas."

Yue Qianqiu turned Wude Si into a god of ears and heard that Shen Zheng was called the Lord of the Ears, and then he smiled and said, "I am the grandson of my grandfather, the ninth son of the third generation of the Yue family. He is of a young age and the Yue family has not yet separated. What excuse should I use to save private wealth? Now I am so hated. If this matter is spread, whether it is Yue family, inside and outside the court, wouldn't people who originally dislike me be more envious and jealous? Moreover, it is not a shop, but eight families. I feel ashamed of such a gift."

Chen Wuliang, who was standing behind the emperor, nodded secretly, thinking that it was no wonder that the emperor was relieved to be with Yue Qianqiu and King Ying Li Yiming. With such a smart and clear companion who knew how to behave, the prince has become much more sensible over the years.

The emperor also said with approval: "If everyone in the world can be as greedy as you, there will be less disputes."

"Thank you for the praise of the emperor. However, I don't want the things I gave me, but I don't want them to say good intentions. With the character of King Jin, I might even be angry. However, after he arrived in Jinling, he had only a little salary and raised so many people. If he gave me these things, wouldn't he beggared? So, this requires the emperor."

The emperor was laughed at Yue Qianqiu: "Oh, I couldn't imagine that I could still help with this?"

"It's very simple. King Jin borrowed my hand and presented the industries he had run in Dawu over the years to the emperor, thus expressing his loyalty to Dawu. The emperor felt the sincerity of King Jin, so he gave these things back to the King of Jin so that his family could rest and recuperate. In this way, these industries that were originally shameful would pass the bright road."

The emperor stared at Yue Qianqiu with strange eyes, looking up and down, and then laughed at the end: "Let me tell you what is good? Since Xiao Jingxian is willing to give you something, maybe it is to leave a way out, maybe it is to have other plans. You clearly agreed to take it away, but you went back to him in such a big circle, and you might risk offending him. Is it worth it?"

I don’t want to do it either, but who has made the relationship more and more unrest? Now it’s getting deeper and deeper!

Yue Qianqiu sighed deeply without pretending, and then said word by word: "The hands of people are short, and the mouth of eating people are short. When I was in Beijing, there was no way to get along with Emperor Beiyan and him. Now that he has come to Dawu, I just hope he is honest and not to make trouble. After I make such a struggle, everyone knows that the emperor is a wise ruler, a loyal minister, and is good to him and the emperor. As for myself, it is just a loss of money that may not be a good thing!"

Seeing that the emperor's mouth curled, Chen Wuliang was obviously in a good mood, so he simply put on fun and said, "So this is actually a kill of three birds with one stone?"

"That's the reason." Yue Qianqiu said, then grinned, and then said with a smile, "And, I deliberately scattered the city and took stock of those industries today, hoping that someone would help me spread the news, so it would be better to come and find a quarrel between me and King Jin. By the way, can I draw a memorial directly from the emperor, so that it can hit some people's faces at that time?"

The request for such a playful joke was that no one dared to mention it. However, the emperor smiled and patted the handrail and ordered Chen Wuliang: "Go, serve Qianqiu's pen and ink. When he has finished writing, you will go to archive it. This kid's right to be straightforward has never been put seriously, but it can be used at this time, but it has finally failed to let me favor him over the years."

"Thank you for your favoritism!" Yue Qianqiu said a big look again. As Chen Wuliang walked away, he slid to the emperor's side, but made a face. Then he quickly grabbed a piece of pine nut with his eyes and stuffed it directly into his mouth. After taking a few bites, the feeling of being so hungry that he was sweating was finally suppressed.

Before he could get another piece of cushion, he saw that the snack was suddenly handed directly to him. He looked up and saw that it was the emperor. He didn't care about being polite. After taking it, he stuffed two walnut cakes. Then he took it and took a look at Chen Wuliang, who was still busy fiddling with paper and pen, and quietly thanked him.

"You, why are you always starving to death and reincarnated?"

"I can't take care of it if I'm anxious... Besides, I seem to have a little hypoglycemia..." As soon as the three words "hypoglycemia" were expressed, Yue Qianqiu, who had not swallowed the food in his mouth, immediately coughed twice and explained, "I mean, I can't afford to be hungry, but I always forget to eat when I get anxious."

The emperor did not think it was offended, but instead said with a smile: "I left four prime ministers to eat at noon today. The three of them were all regular steps. They put down their chopsticks after they were slightly dipped in their mouths. Only your grandfather would eat and chew. As a result, after a while, after a while, the three of them were younger than your grandfather, and they were so energetic that they were old."

Yue Qianqiu said with a smile: "Because you are a broad-minded and benevolent monarch who doesn't care about small matters, so my grandfather is not afraid of the emperor's fault for his misconduct, and I dare to be so presumptuous."

"I can let you eat without any scruples and be kind-hearted? Then this benevolent is really easy to make!" The emperor was so happy that his two wisps of his jaw that showed great majesty on weekdays trembled. He pointed to the young man in front of him and shouted, "Go and write your memorials. After writing and copying, I won't give you any meals. I will be unkind once today!"

"Yes, yes..." Yue Qianqiu agreed seriously, but he went there with a snack in his hand.

Chen Wuliang, who was waiting at the desk over there, saw the emperor shook his head and shook his head, but he smiled. He clearly did not care about this lazy behavior, so he would not remind or blame him. After laying out the big paper, he handed Yue Qianqiu a pen full of thick ink.

Although Yue Qianqiu, a sixth-rank official, almost never went to court and only wrote a few times, Chen Wuliang, as the most capable confidant around the emperor, did not miss every book, including the feasibility report on the Wuying Pavilion's school operation. At this moment, he was just able to see every word written by Yue Qianqiu, and he could not realize it.

When he used to read memorials, he felt that Yue Qianqiu was young and that stroke was quite readable. Now, when he saw him picking up his pen and using it, he saw that he had a lot of rules. Thinking that Yan Xu had no actual duties because he was the eldest princess' son. In fact, when he was fourteen years old, he was sent to the Ming people to try his best in the imperial examination hall under the operation of the eldest princess. Chen Wuliang couldn't help but sigh that he had his master and had his disciples.

But no matter how civil and military skills are, what is the difference between Yue Qianqiu and Yan Xu's background, it is also difficult to become a general and a prime minister. It is a pity for such a smart and clever child since childhood.

For Yue Qianqiu, who is familiar with the format of melody, it took a lot of effort to finish writing this draft of the melody of four or five hundred words without adding a little bit. He himself did not notice the passage of time at all. By the time he finished copying it well, half an hour had passed.

Chen Wuliang, who had been with him, noticed the sky until this time. Seeing the emperor sitting there thinking, he couldn't help but hurried over. Before he could apologize, the emperor smiled and said, "Chiqiu, who was reincarnated from a starving ghost, can survive for so long, let alone me? Instruct the meal to prepare more for Qianqiu and let him eat in the side hall. I am worried that when I see him swaying in the wind, I will eat too much without realizing it. I can't digest so much dinner!"

Yue Qianqiu rubbed his wrist and stood up. He heard this and immediately looked up: "Your Majesty knows me, the emperor. Thank you for your kindness!"

In the early years, most of the food in the imperial kitchen was the same old tricks. The emperor couldn't help but eat whatever he wanted. Over the years, the emperor never rashly set up a house for his own food. Chen Wuliang personally pointed out his disciples to be responsible for purchasing, so the four dishes, one soup and two snacks that came here were placed in front of Yue Qianqiu like beads, but they were all full of colors and fragrance.

Yue Qianqiu, who didn't know what was polite, moved his chopsticks without saying a word, but after eating it, his saliva when he saw the dishes disappeared without a trace. Because those imperial meals that looked exquisite like works of art were really average, even a little inferior to the level of Yuefu kitchen, and were not as delicious as imagined.

In other words, it is similar to many so-called molecular cuisine and Michelin, which means it has a good look and atmosphere.

After all, eating imperial meals in the palace is a higher level than eating imperial meals in the Forbidden City in later generations.

Just when he was secretly whispering that the king of a country was not as good as a foodie, there was a sudden unexpected sound from the emperor who was clearly enjoying dinner outside.

"The emperor, the outside world reported that the King of Jin's Mansion and the Princess Mansion... seemed to have thieves in the middle of the battle."

When Yue Qianqiu heard the last word, he felt angry and funny. Some people were not seeking death, but... stupid!

Just as he was thinking this way, he suddenly heard the emperor's voice coming from outside: "Qianqiu!"

Yue Qianqiu, who had basically had enough food, quickly got up and went out, and saw that the emperor had already pointed at him with his fingers.

"If you cause trouble, go to the Princess Mansion to cook it yourself! If it weren't for you, how could there be a bunch of women in the Princess Mansion today?"
