I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Is His Majesty the emperor really the kind of person who can be foolish?

Of course it is!

To be an emperor, one must not only be wise and powerful, but also develop in all aspects. Naturally, the face must also develop. Today's Holy One is definitely the most cheeky person in the world.

When the flower picker almost picked Princess Ruihua, the emperor was of course furious.It's not that he has a good relationship with Princess Ruihua, but it's mainly because he feels that he can't bear face.Regardless of whether Princess Ruihua is favored or not, she is also a princess of the royal family. If a flower picker dares to touch her, isn't that just flirting with his dragon beard and not paying attention to him?Based on this alone, these little thieves deserve to die, they must be killed!

As a result, the group of flower picking thieves were too skillful in escaping, and most of them ran away.The angry real dragon emperor was so angry that he waved his dragon claws and issued a sea arrest document, offering a huge reward.

When the flower picker was caught, transported to Jingzhou City and beheaded, the emperor saved face, calmed down, and returned to his senses.

This person was captured by him, but he was reluctant to pay the money.How about a few thousand taels of silver? Although His Majesty the Emperor is sitting on the world, this money can be taken out.It's just that Princess Ruihua doesn't have the same mother as him. If it was Yunluo, he would definitely not hesitate to pay.However, His Majesty the Emperor would not be happy if he wasted money for a princess whose relationship was not very good, and had to take it from his private treasury, why not!

Since he succeeded to the throne, he has always been at war, and the money in the treasury has been flowing out like running water. The old fox who is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs cries poorly to him every day. Whenever he asks him for money, it is like asking for his life. He will hit the post in minutes kind of.Not only is he very stingy, but he also stares at the emperor's private treasury all day long, wanting to dig it out at any time to release the emperor's blood.

However, don't think that the ministers of the household department are all corrupt officials. Before taking this position, almost all the ministers of the household department are clean people who treat money like dirt.But once you sit in this position, you will become that kind of virtue.No matter how many times he has changed, he always looks like a vice miser.As long as he leaves this position, he will be a hero who treats money like dung.

The treasury has no money, and the Minister of the Household Department can only stare at the emperor's small treasury.How rich is the emperor? The emperor is the richest person in Dachu. The details of the emperors of all dynasties are stored there, and there are countless treasures in the private treasury. It is really not an exaggeration to say that the country is so rich.

You can just stare at it, and there will be no loss of meat, the emperor is not willing to take out his small coffers.The money in the national treasury is a public account, which can be used by the court, but the money in the private treasury is his private property.Public is public, private is private, the emperor can clearly distinguish.What are you doing staring at his small coffers? Why don't you take out your own private property? If you want him to take money, there is no way.

Of course, there are no doors, but windows still exist.Although the emperor was reluctant in his heart, in order to stabilize the court, raise private soldiers, and dispatch troops urgently, the emperor still had to spend money.After all, when he first came to the throne, the court was really unstable, many government orders were difficult to issue, and a bunch of people were waiting to trip him up.In order to eliminate public opinion, stabilize the throne, and stabilize the country, the emperor's private treasury was bleeding heavily, and the blood has not been recovered yet. How could the emperor be willing to spend money for a princess with an average relationship.

No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, the emperor feels sorry for it.Princesses are all rich, even if they are not favored princesses, there are thousands of rich women.If he had thought about it earlier, he would not have been taken advantage of. Now if he regretted it, it would be embarrassing. It would be great if Princess Ruihua could pay the money herself.

After pondering for a long time, the emperor still decided that the bounty must be given, otherwise it would be embarrassing.But it will definitely not be given according to the truth, just give a verbal reward, just mean it.Anyway, he is the emperor, even if he repudiates, who dares to say anything, don't want his head?Anyway, it was his subordinate who caught the person this time, just a small official, the kind he was quite optimistic about. Isn't his favor worth a few thousand taels of silver?

The Emperor Laipi, who felt good about himself, became confident again. In order to show his importance, the emperor also specially sent a supervisor next to him to announce the decree, and the pomp was also great.Of course, when these people are on business trips, all the expenses are paid by the public account, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't feel bad at all.

"Master Ji, why don't you hurry up to accept the order!" The eunuch Yingxian, who had a feminine face and was even more exquisitely dressed than a woman, tugged

Thin voice reminded.

Although there is no money, verbal praise is also a reward, Ji Zihe knelt down, raised his hands high, "I accept the order."

Eunuch Yingxian placed the imperial decree in his hands, and Ji Zihe shouted again, "Long live my emperor."

"Master Ji, it's cold on the ground, get up quickly." Eunuch Yingxian smiled and helped Ji Zihe up with his own hands, which made Ji Zihe a little flattered. Not a little high.

"Thank you, General." Ji Zihe thanked.But all eunuchs don't like people talking about their status as eunuchs every day, especially eunuchs with great power.Yan Ruyu reminded in advance that Ji Zihe didn't want to break the taboo, anyway, Eunuch Yingxian still has the title of a mighty general from the second rank, so he simply called him a general.

In this dynasty, there is no saying that eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. As long as their talents are recognized by the emperor, even eunuchs will be used by the emperor.Especially when the emperor first came to the throne, the eunuchs played a big role, so there were eight great supervisors.

Of course, there are indeed many officials who look down on eunuchs, even though some eunuchs are very favored by the emperor, but they just look down on these eunuchs who are not even men.He thinks that he is a virtuous minister, and eunuchs are all villains, and the emperor must be close to virtuous ministers and be far from villains.However, there were not many courtiers who dared to open up to the eunuch when they just got up, most of them clamored fiercely in private. After all, offending the eunuch is not a good thing.

Ji Zihe didn't think there was anything wrong with eunuchs. After all, the eunuchs in this dynasty were capable of reciting poems and fighting against each other. There were precedents for Wu Neng to kill enemies on the battlefield with a sword. If he had no skills, how could the emperor appoint him an official.Although the emperor withheld his money, Ji Zihe still had to say something fair. It was absolutely impossible for His Majesty to reuse someone just by listening to a few flattering words. After all, raising idlers also cost money.

Eunuch Yingxian was very satisfied with Ji Zihe's understanding, so he waved his hand, and a guard in brocade clothes came over with a wooden tray covered with a red cloth.

"Your Majesty Ji caught several flower-picking thieves in a row. His Majesty was very happy after hearing about your deeds. He ordered our family to come here in person to show his favor. This is a reward from His Majesty, and I hope you will continue to work hard in the future. Another great achievement." Eunuch Yingxian said with a smile.

Eunuch Yingxian didn't mention anything about the bounty for the sea arrest documents, he only said that His Majesty rewarded Ji Zihe after hearing about Ji Zihe's story, as if the guy who offered the bounty wasn't the rambling emperor.Probably the father-in-law was reminding Ji Zihe that exchanging 4000 taels for the emperor's blue eyes was definitely a lucrative deal. Ji Zihe also understood this truth, but he didn't really pursue promotion or anything that much.

Ji Zihe glanced at the silver under the red cloth with his spiritual sense, four thousand changed to four hundred, how could His Majesty be so good at doing business?

However, Ji Zihe had to pretend to be grateful, bowed in the direction of Jingzhou City in fear and respect, and shouted a few words of thanks to His Majesty, before letting the servants around him take the money.

"The general has worked hard all the way, and my subordinate has already set up a banquet in Deshun Tower to welcome you, please move forward." Ji Zihe said.

Eunuch Yingxian smiled at the corner of his eyes, raised his orchid fingers, and said slowly, "Master Ji really has a heart."

Ji Zihe's heart trembled, and for some reason, he thought of Yan Ruyu again.But when Yan Ruyu was a woman, she didn't say that Tian Tian raised her orchid fingers. This father-in-law is more like a woman than a woman!

It's not that Ji Zihe doesn't want to receive this group of people in the county government, it's because the county government can't afford the food.Uncle Gao's cook will offend his boss every minute.

Deshun Building is the largest and most luxurious restaurant in Ning'an County. It is said that this restaurant is still a chain with branches all over Dachu, even in the capital city.With this confidence to open a branch, the taste of the food is naturally very delicious. Of course, the price is also very good.

Ji Zihe hadn't been to Deshun Tower a few times since he took office, but this time, in order to entertain the Xuanzhi team, he was so proud that he booked the entire restaurant.

Cough, it's not that he's suddenly rich. For receiving leaders and so on, the higher-ups set aside special funds every year.but

This place in Ning'an County has not been able to wait for a leader to inspect it for a few years. Although Ji Zihe's predecessor was greedy, he did not dare to touch the money, so the money has been accumulated quite a lot, so it is useless.

In addition, Ji Zihe's generosity is due to the people in this team.Don't think this job is easy, but the people in this team are not small.In addition to the largest official, the second-rank father-in-law Yingxian, there are also quite a few young generals. Each of these young generals has titles, and they can be seen at a glance as noble children who came to gain experience through the back door.This job is not difficult, just to protect a eunuch.With so many guards, there is no danger.Just take a trip to the mountains and rivers, and it can be counted as political achievements when you go back. Don't take it too easy.

If conditions permit, don't neglect if you can. To be honest, Ji Zihe doesn't want to offend this group of people.You have to be tactful when you should be tactful, why bother to make enemies for yourself.

After the welcome banquet, Ji Zihe placed them in the county government office, and then began to deal with the 400 taels of silver.

Ji Zihe ordered the yamen servants to send Feng Yunlin's 100 taels over, and the remaining 300 taels were divided among the yamen servants who contributed.There was not much money, but there were many people, and Ji Zihe didn't ask for more. After the distribution, he was left with a pitiful 40 taels of silver.

Let’s do it, change from four thousand to forty, it’s just a matter of missing strokes, it’s not a big problem.Mosquitoes are meat no matter how small they are, and forty is not a lot. Later, I will use the money to make some good clothes for Grandpa and Bones.

Just when Ji Zihe was hiding in the house, Rong Ge suddenly barged in and said angrily, "My lord, I want to report to the police!"

Ji Zihe opened his mouth in a daze, "Huh?"

"My lord, this subordinate wants to report to the officials." Rong Ge said again.

Ji Zihe sat up straight, who would dare to mess with the policeman in the county government, or this female policeman with strong martial arts skills, is she going to kill her?
