The melon-eating system, everyone listens to my voice

Liu Yanshen actually had something else to say, which was that he had to be more restrained when talking to the concubines in the harem. As they get older, they naturally have to take care of their bodies, and greed is not good!

Liu Yanshen didn't say it, but the emperor guessed from Liu Yanshen's strange and hesitant feeling that Liu Yanshen had misunderstood him.

The ministers who met Liu Yanshen for the first time in the court also looked at this colleague curiously. They were all amazed, their eyebrows moving slightly, and "exchanging glances" with the people next to them. They could point at the emperor's face and say that he was old and a ruthless man!

Everyone looked left and right, but no one looked at how ugly the emperor's face was.

What can the emperor do? He has to force himself to save his dignity. The words he said were squeezed out from his teeth.

"I appreciate your kindness, Lord Liu, but I was in a good mood last night and was a little late in reviewing the memorials.

But with you, my dear ministers, I hope that I will receive fewer memorials in the future.

I also have time to take care of my body, just like Liu Aiqing said, go to bed early. "

The emperor pronounced the three words "approved memorials" heavily and slowly, as if he was emphasizing something!

Liu Yanshen suddenly realized,

"Your Majesty, you were reviewing memorials until late at night. You should review them faster next time.

As long as your efficiency is improved, you won’t have to spend so much time on folding papers. ”

The ministers who had been holding their heads up all lowered their heads the moment Liu Yanshen finished speaking, shrinking their necks, moving their bodies slightly, and shrugging their shoulders on both sides. They were trying to hold back their laughter.

What kind of fool is this? He doesn't even give the emperor face.

At the morning court session that day, the emperor had a stern face the whole time and mercilessly criticized the minister who made the report.

Especially Liu Yanshen, the emperor often asked him to answer questions, with a fake smile on his face. As a result, Liu Yanshen answered sincerely,

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better if you didn't smile. It would make you look more majestic."

The emperor left court early that day!

Later, Liu Yanshen would occasionally utter some cautious words, which could be said to alarm the emperor and his ministers, because in the end all the ministers would be implicated by him.

The emperor was unhappy, and they also started to look sad.

Only Liu Yanshen had a smiling face.

Later, the emperor found a way to punish Liu Yanshen. Whenever he said something that displeased the emperor, he would simply find a reason to deduct money from him, a month's salary for each word.

Liu Yanshen really restrained himself. The specific manifestation was that after every word he said, he realized that he should not have said it, and he would take back his words and quickly apologize to the emperor.

However, the morning court always talks about serious matters. Liu Yanshen is an excellent official and often completes the tasks assigned by the emperor quickly and well. The emperor loves and hates him.

It had been a long time since the emperor had heard someone speak carefully, so when he heard Liu Yanshen's words after a long time, he was magnanimous and didn't take it to heart.

As for the matter of appointing a crown prince, the emperor looked at Liu Yanshen sideways for a few times, which made Liu Yanshen extremely flustered. The emperor finally spoke.

"Lord Liu, you will know when I appoint a crown prince.

If someone didn't know, they would think you accepted some favor from one of my princes and are doing things for him?"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, his majestic aura rushed straight towards Liu Yanshen. His meticulous expression and pursed lips revealed that the emperor was unhappy about the matter of "appointing a crown prince."

Liu Yanshen knelt down directly, and he skillfully slapped himself twice, begging for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I have always stood by your side, and the heavens can bear witness to my love for you.

I was not in my right mind just now. I only wanted to care about your majesty's health, not to force your majesty to appoint a crown prince."

When Liu Yanshen was moved, he wiped his eyes with his sleeve and his body twitched.

Shen Zhao noticed the movement over there and asked Gua Gua curiously,

[Guagua, who is that official kneeling on the ground? Why does he look like he is crying?

He is not young anymore, but this is the first time I have seen an official crying during a court meeting.

Not to mention that the sleeves of his official uniform covered half of his face, so I really couldn’t see what his expression was.]

Shen Zhao's eyes lit up. Did the emperor's uncle scold someone and make her cry?

Guagua said excitedly,

[Host, this person was transferred from the local area. His name is Liu Yanshen. He usually speaks without restraint.

Didn't the Emperor's uncle cough a few times just now? He thought something had happened to the Emperor's uncle, so he asked the Emperor's uncle to appoint the crown prince.

Liu Yanshen did such things several times, and each time his uncle the emperor deducted his salary.

When the monthly salary was paid, Mr. Liu could only go home empty-handed.

Every time, Madam Liu would twist his ears and scold him for half an hour, and make him reflect on his mistakes facing the wall for half an hour.

Because Lord Liu came from a farming family, his family was not well-off even when he became an official.

Mr. Liu’s salary is the main source of monthly income for the Liu family, and his monthly salary is gone.

Although the family would not go hungry because of this month's salary, Mrs. Liu was still very distressed.

However, Lord Liu is an honest official, a loyal husband, and a kind father. He is a rare good official, good husband, and good father.

The emperor did not expect that this salary was an important source of income for Liu Yanshen's family. No wonder Liu Yanshen never said anything nice since his salary was deducted.

The emperor decided to find an opportunity to return the salaries to Liu Yanshen next time. After all, he was a proven good minister.

Liu Yanshen's colleagues did not expect that Liu Yanshen was so henpecked that he did not even take a concubine. Is he still a man?

Not to mention that they always have several concubines in their family, those families with some extra money will also take concubines. It can't be that Liu Yanshen doesn't have the money to support a concubine.

The more some people thought about it, the more they felt that their guess was true. Since they were colleagues, they naturally wanted to make Liu Yanshen live more comfortably.

Of course, the concubines sent by those people were finally returned by Liu Yanshen, and he even filed a complaint in front of the emperor.

The emperor withheld half a year's monthly salary from those people and gave it to Liu Yanshen. Liu Yanshen was so happy that he took the initiative to find those people after leaving the court and asked them to continue sending money next time.

Of course, this is a follow-up.

Guagua is still going on.

Madam Liu grew up with Lord Liu and they were childhood sweethearts. She married Lord Liu smoothly.

However, Lord Liu's words had offended Madam Liu when he was young.

Every time he tried to express his concern for Mrs. Liu, things went against his wishes and he always made Mrs. Liu angry.

The most serious incident was when Mrs. Liu said she would not marry him.

What Lord Liu said to the Emperor's uncle is nothing compared to the skills he displayed when he was young. 】

Shen Zhao was curious and asked,

[Guagua, please tell me in detail how Lord Liu obtained Madam Liu's forgiveness? ]

Guagua said calmly,

[Host, Lord Liu went to many stores and bought a lot of storybooks, learning how to coax people from them.

For example, there is a classic saying in the storybook: A woman may say no, but she actually wants it very much in her heart.

This sentence came from the most popular script on the market at that time, and Lord Liu believed it very much.

But it was completely useless. Lord Liu tried many methods, but finally his good friend couldn't stand it anymore and gave him some advice: pretend to be aggrieved.

For half a month, Mr. Liu went to Madam Liu to pretend to be wronged, deliberately making himself sound pathetic, and even cried directly in front of Madam Liu.

cry?

Liu Yanshen looks a bit stout, and his stern face makes others feel oppressive.

Just now, when he used the sleeves of his official uniform to cover his face and eyes, everyone present twitched their lips.

They all tended to think that Liu Yanshen was too ashamed to see His Majesty and was ashamed of what he had just said, so he did not dare to face others.

But Shen Zhao said that Liu Yanshen was crying, and many people looked at Liu Yanshen who was kneeling on the ground curiously.

Upon taking a closer look, he discovered that Liu Yanshen had already put down his sleeves. His face was clean, but his expression was ugly.

A minister nudged the arm of the person next to him and whispered,

"Look, isn't the corner of Master Liu's eyes red?

Wow, did he really cry just now? "

The official who was speaking couldn't control his tone in the end, and his voice was actually a bit loud.

When he saw the gaze from the official next to him, there was another cold look that seemed to be following him like a shadow.

The official didn't dare to look up, but just shrank closer to the person next to him.

[Host, Lord Liu is not crying.]

He really cried the first time in front of Mrs. Liu, but later he felt that crying was not manly.

He was just pretending. In fact, Mrs. Liu knew it, but she didn't expose Lord Liu.

Even when he covered his face just now, Lord Liu felt that if he took the initiative to show his sadness.

The Emperor's uncle is too embarrassed to punish him any more, so he won't have to deduct his salary! 】

Shen Zhao observed carefully again and finally commented,

[Gua Gua, Lord Liu’s acting skills are very good. Even I was fooled by him.

The corners of the eyes are slightly red, probably from rubbing them.]

Liu Yanshen......

Finally, the morning court ended in a strange atmosphere.

Liu Yanshen’s salary was not deducted, but the emperor assigned him a lot of work, which made Liu Yanshen work until three o’clock in the morning every day for the rest of his life!
