After leaving the imperial study room, Li Yaonan was completely powerless, the emperor only acted according to his mood, so he wouldn't care about his subordinates.Useless chess pieces will be discarded, and the same goes for useless courtiers.The emperor's thighs are really not that easy to hug.

General Lian reprimanded him in front of the palace gate, Li Yaonan was irrefutable, he knew that General Lian was worried about him, but he had no way out now, he had to follow the emperor's footsteps closely to share his worries, otherwise he would lose the emperor's support. Asylum, the dignitaries in Beijing will not let him go easily.

He has no regrets in admonishing him today. He knows that his position as Minister of the Household Department cannot be shaken by his own words, but as long as the emperor is dissatisfied, it will be a matter of time before Lord Liao steps down. This move is tantamount to helping General Lian. Everything has gains and losses. If there is a mess today, no matter how it is dealt with in the end, it is a fact that there is no money, and it is good to share it evenly. It doesn’t matter whether the emperor pays for it from the inner treasury. He has offended more than one person. Man, he knows this account very well.

After weighing the pros and cons, he decided to point the finger at Shangshu Hubu. Facts proved that he was right, and the emperor was very satisfied with him.

This is the imperial power society. Li Yaonan deeply understood how simple his thoughts were before, and every step in the court was frightening. No wonder many people like to be wise and protect their lives. Isn't he walking on thin ice step by step?

When he got home and saw Fulang, his heavy heart was slightly relieved, and he was relieved from the exhaustion of the day. For the sake of Fulang and his son, he felt that it was worth it. As long as he survived three years in the Hanlin Academy and was admitted to the Shuji, he would have qualifications and a career. It will be much smoother. His only shortcoming now is that his qualifications are too low. If he is two years later, he is very sure that the emperor will not let him stay in the position of editor. It's just that he prefers outsiders to walk in front of the imperial court. Let it go, that is the real political achievement, and it is no longer the illusory favor of the superiors.

"Husband."

"Father."

There were two people, one big and one small, with exactly the same expression, looking at him with wide eyes, with the words "I want to hug" clearly written on their faces.

Li Yaonan smiled lowly, picked up his son with one hand, and hugged her husband with the other, holding both of them in his arms at the same time.

Lin Yixuan hurriedly took his son over: "You've been tired all day, Xu'er is sinking, so I'll come and hug her."

Xiao Xu'er pursed her mouth in dissatisfaction. He could only see his father at night, and his father wanted to rob him.

Lin Yixuan glared at his son, then turned his head to look at her husband with a smile, and said distressedly: "You must be tired today, the food is ready, you must eat more."

Li Yaonan was in a happy mood, how could he not notice Fu Lang's little moves, he just let him do it because he thought it was cute, to make Fu Lang carefree and Xu'er grow up healthily, his wish in this life was enough.

After dinner, Xiao Xu'er hugged her father and acted cute. Unlike when she was a child, after one year old, he liked to cling to Li Yaonan and listen to his father telling him stories.Lin Yixuan would listen to it sometimes, and then wrote down the story and edited it into a book for his children and grandchildren. Mother Lin laughed at him when she found out.

Li Yaonan played with his son for a while, Xiao Xu'er yelled to shush, Lin Yixuan took him out for a while, and when he came back, he saw her husband leaning on the couch and falling asleep, Lin Yixuan patted his son's head, and made a silent gesture to him With a gesture of sound, he tiptoedly covered the husband with a quilt, and then walked out of the house with his son in his arms. The appearance of the husband made people feel distressed.

Xiao Xu'er is very sensible, seeing her father fell asleep, even though she still wanted to listen to the story, she was still very obedient and didn't cry or fuss, and obediently let her father hug him, her big innocent eyes were black and white: "Father will meet you tomorrow!" have time?"

Hearing his son's question, Lin Yixuan felt sour in his heart, and wanted to answer that he was free, but her husband was already very tired at the Yamen, and if he couldn't rest well when he returned home, he would not bear it. He had already heard about the recent wind direction in the court, and now his husband is walking on eggshells How could he have the heart to let her husband return home still tired.

He only hates being above the court, he can't help her husband, so he can only try to make him happy, he knows that he likes himself to be carefree, likes the warm and peaceful atmosphere at home, he will put everything in order Take care of it, so that your husband will not have any worries, and he will have a peaceful habitat when he is tired.

"Hey, my father is tired. I will definitely accompany you when my father is free some other day."

Xiao Xu'er pursed her lips and counted with her fingers: "Father has been, one day, two days, three days... Father has not been with Xu'er for five days."

Lin Yixuan chuckled: "Our Xu'er is a good boy, he can count at the age of two, really amazing."

Little Xu'er's jaw went up, not to mention his frightened appearance, she was somewhat similar to Li Yaonan: "Xu'er is the most powerful."

Children are easily diverted from the topic, Lin Yixuan accompanied Xiao Xu'er, put him to sleep, and then returned to the bedroom.

Li Yaonan was already sound asleep at this time, Lin Yixuan gently helped him twist the quilt, and sat quietly beside her husband, feeling extremely distressed, her husband frowned, and seemed unable to rest even in his sleep.Yesterday, Princess Lianjun called him to scold him. It is not a good thing that your husband is too popular these days.It's just that who knows the embarrassment of the husband, the emperor is unpredictable, what can the husband do, the blame is only that their husband and wife have too little foundation, if there is family support behind them, others will definitely be scruples, and the emperor will not use it. Being so unscrupulous is clearly pushing her husband to the forefront.

The next day when they went to the Imperial Academy, as expected, everyone looked at Li Yaonan with different eyes, but they did not avoid them like snakes and scorpions like last time. After all, Li Yaonan now occupies the favor of the emperor, but how long this favor can last, everyone will wait and see.

Li Yaonan was well aware of this, but there was no turning back when he opened his bow, so he could only go forward bravely and follow the path arranged by the emperor.

"Master Li, the emperor announces that you go to the imperial study to have an audience." The prince's shrill voice sounded.

Li Yaonan gave a wry smile, and under the jealous eyes of his colleagues in the Imperial Academy, he followed the prince, wondering why the emperor was looking for him this time?

Wang Gonggong glanced at him and said: "Lord Liao asked to see the emperor just now, Lord Li should be more careful."

Li Yaonan understood in an instant, he did not expect revenge to come so fast, he only got Lord Liao together yesterday, and today he is going to return him, Li Yaonan is not afraid, as long as he takes advantage of everything, as long as he has something to offer, he believes in the emperor Will not dispose of myself at present.

After several layers of notifications, Li Yaonan stepped into the imperial study room, knelt down respectfully and saluted: "My humble minister joins the emperor."

"Get up." The emperor said lightly, without much expression on his face, and pointed to the Hubu Shangshu next to him: "Come and listen to what Master Liao just said."

"My minister complies with the order." Li Yaonan stood up respectfully, his eyes drooping slightly, and he put the emperor first in every move.

Master Liao sneered coldly, and looked down on Li Yaonan's attitude, and said bluntly: "Yunnan has been in arrears with taxes for years, and last year it only paid less than [-]% of the tax. I heard that Tanhua Lang has a wonderful idea, I wonder if there is a solution? "

Li Yaonan lowered his brows and did not answer, he would not seek his own government if he was not in his position, so what if he had countermeasures, with his current qualifications, there is absolutely no possibility of promotion, so why should he show off again, and said lightly: "Lord Liao It's embarrassing to step down, and you should ask the governor of Yunnan about this matter."

"I also said that Tanhualang knew everything, so it turned out to be nothing more than me."

"I am ashamed to be an official." Li Yaonan was as immobile as a mountain.

Lord Liao looked at the emperor: "Since you are ashamed, you should be cautious in your words and deeds in the future. I also ask the emperor to learn from you. In Yunnan and Guangxi, taxes have been in arrears for years, and Shandong and Hubei have suffered disasters one after another. The emptiness of the national treasury is not what I want, but powerlessness." , I am very cautious every time I use a piece of silver, I really can't afford to be a Tanhualang who is incompetent and famous."

Li Yaonan was silent in his heart, Mr. Liao was looking for a place for himself, and by the way to restore the impression in the emperor's heart, this move was good, Li Yaonan quietly glanced at the emperor, sure enough, the emperor's expression eased.

However, how could Li Yaonan let him succeed, and retorted: "Your Majesty Liao is serious. As a subject, it is your duty to share the emperor's worries. Since you are the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, you should know the importance of the treasury. You must not only reduce expenditure but also increase revenue. For silver, no matter what the reason is, the adults should be responsible, and the default of taxes in various places is not the reason for the empty treasury."

The emperor's face darkened, and when he heard the increase in income and the reduction of expenditure, he couldn't help but think of Li Yaonan's policy theory, the way to make a country rich, the way to make a country rich. Before that time, the relationship between the DPRK and China will be complicated. If reforms are implemented, the interests of too many people will be affected, which is really inappropriate.

Mr. Liao's face was ashen. He didn't expect that he would be suppressed by Tanhualang again after a few words of argument. Not only did he fail to save face, but it made the emperor dissatisfied.

Li Yaonan's face was pale, he always believed in killing snakes and sticking to them, since he had already offended Shangshu Hubu, he would not be able to turn an enemy into a friend before he had any bargaining chips, so it would be better to offend him thoroughly, even if he could not be pulled off the horse, You have to leave a bad impression on the emperor.

"My Majesty, I thought about it all last night. The Military Aircraft Camp, the Fire Gun Camp, and the Northwest Camp, as well as the construction factory of the Ministry of Industry, can pay more than 300 million taels of silver on average." Lord Liao said hastily.

A smile appeared on the emperor's face: "Okay, Liao Qing's family is indeed the pillar of the country, I am very relieved."

Li Yaonan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly. Master Liao made a bad move this time. According to his understanding, in the past years, there may have been many disputes among officials over the account of the Ministry of Finance. Now it was only one night. Master Liao thought about it. If there is no countermeasure, then why did he go earlier, the emperor will definitely be dissatisfied with this.

Master Liao heaved a sigh of relief and felt at ease. It seemed that the emperor still valued him, so he hurriedly knelt down and thanked him: "I can't deserve the emperor's praise. I am ashamed. I took out the money after thinking about it. I didn't have Tan Hualang's ingenuity. I can't find it." Out of the open source."

The emperor smiled lightly, but the meaning of protection was obvious: "He is still young, you are an important minister in the court, what are you fussing about with a brat like him."

Unwilling to be reconciled, Mr. Liao continued to speak: "Yunnan has changed a few magistrates, and the tax has not been raised. Tan Hualang is young and promising, why not share the emperor's worries."

Li Yaonan quickly calculated the gains and losses in his heart, tried his best to suppress himself, so as not to let him show his emotions, he heard his calm voice: "I obey the emperor's decision."

Lord Liao hurriedly took advantage of the heat to strike the iron: "Tanhualang is dedicated to serving the people, so why don't your majesty help him, and my minister also hopes that the treasury will increase tax revenue."

The emperor had no expression on his face, and his faint voice was majestic: "Tanhualang, what do you mean?"

Li Yaonan knelt on the ground: "I respectfully obey the emperor's orders."

Satisfied, the emperor asked with a smile, "It's all right, Tanhua Lang can speak bluntly, if he sends you to Yunnan, he can be sure to govern one side."

"I will do my best." Li Yaonan held back the excitement in his heart, and said firmly, if Mr. Liao wanted to kick him out of the capital, he didn't know that it was in the right hands. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

The emperor felt a little regretful, originally wanted to keep Li Yaonan by his side and cultivate him as a confidant, but now it seemed that it might be better to let him out, after all, Tanhualang was too young, he didn't know how to hold back his edge, after a few years of training outside, he came back just to be used by him, This can be regarded as an explanation to Chaozhong Xungui, he knows that Tan Hwa Lang has offended many people recently.

The emperor waved his hand to let the two of them back down, Li Yaonan knew in his heart that it might be a foregone conclusion to let them go outside, and he didn't know what position they would be in, but no matter what, it was better than trembling in Beijing.He never thought that the surprise would come so quickly, so abruptly, it was a joyous surprise, and it still delayed Mr. Liao's blessing. He liked this kind of revenge.

Lord Liao snorted coldly, and glanced at Li Yaonan disdainfully, he was just a yellow-haired kid, he dared to fight with him, let's see how many years he would be able to dance around outside the capital.

In short, this trip to the imperial study, the emperor was satisfied, Li Yaonan was satisfied, and Lord Liao was also satisfied, all three of them achieved their goals.
