After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The current Hubu Shangshu is 58 years old, with gray hair and gray beard.

The two servants on the left and right, one 42 and the other 37, have already grown beards.

Three bearded old men knelt on the main hall of the Qianqing Palace, crying with snot and tears. The scene was quite spectacular.

The sixth master stood in a row of princes, buried his head low, and minimized his sense of existence.

——As a very face-saving person, he really didn't want people to associate him with the three on the ground.

It's a pity that this kind of thing can't be done if he doesn't want to.

Standing behind him is the Seventh Prince, who was granted the title of King Zhongping when the title of saint was given away last time.

The Seventh Prince himself is just like the title given to him by a sage, with mediocre intelligence.

He was not from a high family background, and his biological mother was a concubine.

Because his biological mother, Concubine Liang, lived in Concubine Duan's palace, the seventh prince had been with the third prince since he was a child, and now he is also the core figure of the third prince's party.

The sixth prince supports the prince, so it is impossible for the seventh prince to please him.

Therefore, he wished that the affairs of the household department would involve Liu Ye.

Therefore, during the interval between the sage's questioning, the Seventh Prince stepped out, and with a face of worrying about the country and the people, he said: "Sage, although the three adults are all talents in the palm of the household department, there are many things that I am afraid of." You have to act according to people's eyes."

This is a bit embarrassing to say.

Hubu Shangshu is already a heavenly official with the palm seal, and everyone in the Hubu must act according to his wishes. Who else does he need to look at?

Everyone's eyes were on Liu Ye who had been walking in the household department for many years.

The sixth master wished to tear the seventh prince apart, but he also knew that he couldn't avoid this matter.

"The sage's enlightenment." The sixth master came out and said sincerely, "The sage doesn't think the minister is stupid, so he let the minister study in the household department. Fortunately, several adults in the household department can teach the minister, and the minister has benefited a lot. However, even if I have the heart to help several adults share the affairs of the Ministry, I still have more than enough energy. If you speak out, you are not afraid of the saint's jokes, and the minister is just dawdling in the household department."

The sage has always been lenient to this son who has never shown any ambition and has never taken power.

At this time, the saint's expression softened a little, and he said to Liu Ye: "You have always been lazy, I know it. But you have been in the household department for many years, and you have always seen the account books of the household department, right?"

The sixth master felt a "thud" in his heart, he had a bad intuition, and he smiled bitterly in his heart: he has shrunk like this, but in the end, he still can't escape this muddy water?

But the seventh prince couldn't hear the voice of the saint, and wanted to embarrass the sixth master, so he booed from the side: "That's right, that's right, the sixth brother has been in the household department for so many years, he doesn't know anything else, he can always understand the account books, right?"

The sixth master ignored the seventh prince, and did not dare to go to see the Minister of the Household Department at this time, so he quietly raised his eyes, trying to see the expression of the saint.

But the nine layers of jade steps are like a moat, and the sage wears a crown on his head. How can the sixth master see clearly?

He had no choice but to follow the sage's mind and say something that was destined to offend the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty: "Of course the account book minister has read it, and there is still 2000 million taels of silver in the account. It's just..."

The seventh prince provocatively said: "Just how? Could it be that this treasury is not the treasury of the saint, but the treasury of your household department? Since there is money in the account, the saint allocates funds for disaster relief, why do you push back?"

This time, the sixth master wanted to thank the seventh prince, thank his good seventh brother, and "forced" him to tell the truth.

"Reporting to the saint, non-officials and others shirk and disrespect the holy order. It is true that there is silver in the account, but there are only two boxes of IOUs left in the treasury, nothing else!"

All of a sudden, the complexions of all the princes in the court changed, and the Seventh Prince's complexion suddenly turned red, and slowly turned white again.

Obviously, he himself realized that he was spontaneous and took away half of the hatred for Liu Ye.

The third prince standing in front glared at the seventh prince bitterly, then turned his head and winked at those who supported him.

Then, the topic of discussion in the court hall changed from the relief food to whether the borrowed money should be paid back.

As expected by the sage, no matter the nobles or the officials, there was a cry of poverty, and the few princes who opened the mansion also told their noses and tears that it was not easy, and the cost of the mansion was high.

Liu Ye knelt in the crowd, his bad premonition became stronger and stronger, and finally became a reality when the sage spoke and he presided over the debt collection.

He subconsciously went to see the prince.

For such a big event, it's normal that he didn't get any news beforehand. The prince must have heard something, right?

However, the prince just showed him an encouraging smile, nothing more.

Sixth Master took a deep breath and knelt down to accept the order, but he didn't know anything about it in his heart.

As a prince, he only fooled those nobles and petty officials who had no real power.

For those officials above the third rank, who would put him in the eyes of a prince who has neither the emperor's favor nor influence?

Let him ask for debts, who will buy his account?

After the court, Liu Ye went to the East Palace to find the prince.

One is to ask about the regulations, and the other is to ask what is going on?

The sage calls himself a sage, and never mentions the matter of his ministers borrowing from the treasury. Why is he suddenly thinking of collecting the debt now?

The prince had known that he was coming, and asked Wang Zhu to wait for him outside the study door.As soon as he arrived, he was ushered into the study by Wang Zhu.

The prince likes gold and stone. As soon as he enters the door of the study, there are four bluestone screens facing him.

There are naturally formed patterns on the screen, which are bluegrass, lotus, camellia and green bamboo.

Although there is no scene of four seasons, but such a natural thing, the background color is bluestone with similar texture, it is not easy to find these four pieces.

Walking around the screen, he saw the prince standing in front of the desk with a long body standing tall, playing with a pair of jade lion paperweights with his sideways body.

The sixth master was in a trance for a while, only to realize that the prince's waist has shrunk by two inches after not seeing him very much in the past two months.

Jun Yan, who was originally handsome and handsome, had sunken cheeks, prominent cheekbones, and sharp edges on his chin.

"Brother Prince..." Liu Ye's eyes were a little hot, and he called out to the prince, but suddenly he didn't know what to ask.

The prince came back to his senses, turned his head and smiled at him: "The sixth son is here?"

Vaguely, it was still the romantic, noble, magnanimous and graceful crown prince.

The sixth master suddenly woke up, and hurriedly saluted and greeted him: "See His Royal Highness the Prince."

The prince's expression darkened: the sixth younger brother is also separated from him!

But he knew that Liu Ye had always been cautious, and he could understand that Liu Ye was so wise and safe in this extraordinary period.

It's just that I still feel uncomfortable in my heart.

"Get up. You and my brother, don't be too polite." The prince personally helped the sixth master, and pulled him to sit down with him, "Wang Zhu, go and make the snow top pekoe that your sixth master loves to drink."

The tea was served soon, and the crown prince told him, "Taste it, and see if it's hot enough."

"Thank you, Prince." The sixth master took a sip from the gaiwan, savored it carefully for a moment, and smiled, "The tea here is still the best."

The prince smiled and asked directly: "You are looking for me today, but because of the saint asking you to collect debts?"

The sixth master turned his face back: "That's right. I don't understand, how can a saint, as a man, take the initiative to provoke this matter?"

What is a saint?

It can be summed up in one sentence:

——It's shameless!

I don't know who influenced him. Although the saint also cares about his martial arts and martial arts, he only wants to be a benevolent king.

For Liu Ye, what is the use of the name of a benevolent monarch?

Song Renzong is a benevolent king, right?

That's because he didn't have a son and lacked confidence. He was sprayed all over his face by admonishing the doctor's spitting stars, so he could only wipe his face and admit it.

The minister under him had his pulse on his pulse, and he was even more courageous and dared to do anything.

Song Renzong himself endured it all his life, but he endured it and made a name in history.

But only a few generations from him, the Northern Song Dynasty was conquered by Jin people.

Look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty again. How many people said that he was militaristic?

But so what?

The Han Dynasty was really strong, and for many years to come, the neighboring countries of the four kingdoms would only have their eyebrows bowed in front of the big Han.

He dared to think about these words alone, and would never dare to slander a saint if he said it.

He was really tricked by the saint today, so he couldn't help showing his tone in front of the prince.

Of course, there is also a reason in his subconscious mind that the prince will not harm him.

Even the sixth prince himself had to admit that the person he trusted the most was the prince, the elder brother who protected him growing up.

This is even worse than his wife, who is supposed to be closest to him.

The prince laughed, and the discomfort caused by Liu Ye's subconscious alienation from him was swept away.

Then, he threw two thunderbolts at Liu Ye: "The sage has this idea, and it is operated by someone alone. As for why he entrusted this matter to you, it is also recommended by him."

"What?" Sixth Master's eyes widened, "Brother Prince, this... you are not cheating brother!"

The prince showed a smile of unknown meaning, and said to Liu Ye: "Just do your job well. As for other things, don't worry too much, don't ask too much, and don't even listen too much."

Master Liu's expression turned cold: "Is there something important going to happen?"

The prince's face darkened: "Lao Liu, don't you even listen to Gu's words? Didn't I tell you not to ask more questions?"

It's not a good feeling to be kept in the dark.

But the sixth master knew that the prince was doing it for his own good, so he resisted the desire to know more, and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't listen, ask, or ignore!"

The prince smiled again, and changed the topic to a more relaxed one: "I heard that the princess, side concubine, and concubine in your backyard are all pregnant?"

"Yes." Speaking of the upcoming heir, Liu Ye couldn't help showing a happy expression, "The side concubine Wang's month is the oldest, it's almost eight months. The princess He's month is the youngest, less than three months. "

The prince said: "You have been having a hard time with your sons all these years, but now that your sons are prosperous, I am relieved."

He called out, "Wang Zhu."

"Hey, the slaves are here." Wang Zhu led several young eunuchs into the room, and the little eunuchs were all holding things in their hands.

The prince said: "It's not easy for me to go out of the palace. These are gifts for the children's three-year baptism, full moon, and first birthday. Since you are here today, you can take them back by yourself."
