[Now the Ministry of Household Affairs no longer has a minister, nor does it have Qi An, an honest and stubborn minister, and all that is left is wine bags and rice bags. 】
The emperor was indeed thinking about this issue. He stared at the speaker for a long time.
"Why not? Go and ask Qi An to come back?"
When several people thought that the emperor was going to be angry, they heard the emperor say: "It's okay. You can think of your own solution and let Qi An take the blame."
"Yes." Several people bowed their hands and exited the imperial study, raised their sleeves and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.
In the future, whoever said that the emperor bringing the little princess would be a bad influence, they were the first to refuse. If the little princess hadn't come, the emperor's teacup plans would have been thrown at them.
Fortunately, the little princess is here.
[I watched a big drama today, and I’m just waiting for Shen Yu to discover the secret of King Yueqing. Now I’m sleepy, so I’ll take a nap first. 】
emperor:"……"
He still wanted to know what the secret was and why Luo'er was so sleepy. He wanted to tell more.
…
Several people from the household department immediately went to look for Qi'an after leaving the palace.
Qi An was playing with his son at the house and was a little surprised when he heard that someone was looking for him.
He raised his hand and touched his son's head, "Go find mom, dad has something to do."
Watching his son run away, Qi An smiled and looked away and went out to see who was looking for him.
He walked to the door, saw several people frowning, and raised their hands to close the door.
"Master Qi," one of them quickly put a leg on the threshold to stop Qi An from closing the door.
"My lords, do you have anything to do with the common people?"
Qi An held the door and asked indifferently.
He is just a commoner now. Are these people trying to cause trouble for him?
Remembering that he had found many faults with these people before, Qi An was even more convinced that his guess was correct.
"We are here today to ask for something from Mr. Qi, why don't we go into the house and tell him?"
Seeing that Qi An still looked unwelcoming, another adult said: "Master Qi, we know that you were beaten by your ex-wife so you are embarrassed to see others. Don't worry, as long as you return to the household department, we will not make fun of you."
They are still counting on Qi An to rescue them.
Are you embarrassed to see people after being beaten by your ex-wife?
Qi An's mind kept swirling with these words. Who had said it?
If he remembered correctly, only Mr. Yang and the emperor knew about it, but now people from the Ministry of Revenue also knew about it.
Could it be the emperor?
It must be the emperor, otherwise it wouldn't have spread so quickly.
Seeing Qi An's expression changing, several people were a little undecided.
Aren't you happy to be able to return to Hubu Qian?
"How do you know this?" Qi'an came back to his senses and looked at a few people.
Several people were stunned, "The emperor said it in the morning, don't be embarrassed, Mr. Qi, it's not like you can't beat me. We know that you are a good man and don't fight with women."
He is really the emperor. Qi An raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
That’s all, just know it if you know it.
Seeing that Qi An stopped talking again, one of them continued: "Master Qi, the Ministry of Revenue cannot live without you. The emperor said that as long as you can recover the foreign debt, you can atone for your sins."
Now Qi An fully understood the purpose of their visit. He let them in and took them to the study.
"How many days did the emperor give you?"
Qi An closed the study door and asked how many people there were.
"Three days, Mr. Qi, we are all counting on you."
Three days is enough time. The emperor said that the merits will be offset by the crimes, so let's do it.
"You go and report it to the emperor, and I will definitely handle this matter."
…
Qi An worked very efficiently, so he agreed and started collecting debts one by one in the afternoon.
If the door is not opened, he shouts at the top of his lungs. If the door is not opened, he sits at the door until the door is opened.
He could shout in the front, but if his voice became hoarse in the back, Qi An asked the guards following him to shout.
It is natural to pay back debts, and it is not difficult to repay debts.
Some people who liked to join in the fun found it interesting and helped to shout out, so they only ordered a few. Qi An found that the team had grown a lot.
The emperor was very pleased to see this scene while sitting in a carriage not far away.
This is the kind of minister he wants, one who can bend and stretch, and who is not afraid of offending others.
Nowadays, there is really no one available in the Ministry of Household Affairs, so Qi An can be of great use.
The emperor had seen enough, so he returned to the palace in a carriage.
In just two days, Qi'an had settled the foreign debt matter.
Looking at the silver in front of him, the emperor raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it all ready?"
Qi An cupped his hands and said, "Go back to the emperor, they are all here."
[Is the tyrant surprised that the Zhu Mansion could not pay off the debt? They sold their yard in the capital and have probably left the capital now. 】
So that was the case, so he said that he had taken away all the money Zhu Li had received from selling his official position, so how could he still have any money?
Zhu Li was also a smart man and did not accept the olive branch from King Yueqing.
But according to King Yueqing's temperament, will Zhu Li's family be touched?
…
King Yueqing can be said to be very anxious at the moment.
First, I heard that Zhu Li left the capital overnight, and then Qi An returned to the Ministry of Finance.
He had been focusing on Meng You and Qin Qianqian these past two days, but he didn't expect Qi An to return to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"Your Majesty, what should Qi'an do now?" the subordinate asked cautiously.
King Yueqing placed the tea cup heavily on the table, "Maybe the emperor has already doubted me by doing this, so don't act rashly."
If the emperor brother has already suspected him and wants to use Qi'an to lure him out, he can't take action against Qi'an now no matter what.
Thinking of this, King Yueqing's face became even darker. He wanted to kill Shen Huai, but Shen Huai was killed by someone unknown.
He wanted to kill Shen Yu, but the Yao family couldn't kill him. Now that Qi An is right under his nose, he still can't kill him.
He always felt as if there was a pair of invisible hands blocking him, but he also felt ridiculous.
Who would be so aware of his every move? He is surrounded by trustworthy people. He must be overthinking.
King Yueqing put his thoughts back, but still holding a fire in his heart. He stood up and asked his subordinates to prepare the carriage to go to the palace.
He had to go see the emperor's attitude.
When King Yueqing left, the emperor happened to be dining in the Qingxin Hall. When he saw him coming, the emperor probably guessed something.
"The emperor's brother is here, come and have dinner together."
The emperor warmly asked Eunuch Cao to add a pair of chopsticks.
[The King of Yueqing can't sit still. He feels aggrieved when he can't kill anyone he wants to kill, hahaha. 】
King Yueqing refused, but finally sat down to dine with the emperor.
"Why did the emperor think of coming to see me today?"
[Come to test you, otherwise I will drink with you. 】
King Yueqing poured a glass of wine for the emperor and said with a smile: "I heard that Qi'an returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs. I heard some remarks that were not conducive to the emperor's brother, so I went to the palace to report it."
The emperor chuckled lightly, "I am very relieved that my brother is worried about me. This is not the first time that he has made unfavorable remarks about me. The same happened with the fifth princess before. I don't know if I thought someone was adding fuel to the fire."
