Ma Shaoxing smiled heartily: "Your Highness, no need!"
"I'll just resign myself!"
"However, I still hope that Your Highness can understand that every word I say comes from the bottom of my heart, and I have your Highness in mind!"
After saying that, Ma Shaoxing saluted Song De and was dragged out of the yard by his servants.
Song De seemed to be extremely angry, and his chest kept rising and falling violently.
"Lao San, Lao San, what are you looking for for me?"
"You keep saying you have some unique political opinions!"
"I bother!"
"Next time you find me these poor scholars who can't get on the stage, don't blame me for completely falling out with you!"
The expression on Song Liang's face was extremely embarrassing, and he couldn't help but scold Song Huan silently in his heart.
What kind of talent are you recommending to Song De?
You just started talking nonsense, aren't you looking to embarrass yourself!
That is to say, Song De's temper is pretty good today. If his temper gets worse, he might kill that Ma Shaoxing on the spot!
Faced with Song De's irritability, Song Liang had no choice but to forcefully explain: "Maybe they scholars all have such strange ideas!"
"Second brother, don't worry. There are plenty of good counselors. At worst, third brother, I'll just find them for you!"
"Don't take this person to heart!"
"It's getting late today, so I won't bother my second brother anymore."
Song Liang just stood up and wanted to leave, but Song De stopped him again.
"Third brother, I have something to ask you."
"You know the most about the harem. Do you know what happened to my mother-in-law?"
Song Liang's heart stopped for half a beat!
No!
That boy Song Huan, is he so fast?
Didn't he start taking action not long after I told him about Concubine Shu's affair with the eunuch?
Song Liang cleared his throat unnaturally: "Ahem... Well, second brother, why did you suddenly ask about this?"
"But what happened?"
Song De was worried: "My mother and concubine did not attend the ceremony last night."
"She is the concubine whose status is second only to the queen. There is no way she will not show up for such a ceremony!"
"I worry……"
Song De did not tell what Emperor Liang said in anger last night.
On the one hand, he himself was not sure what was going on.
On the other hand, naturally he didn’t want Song Liang to see his joke!
When Song De said this, Song Liang immediately guessed what happened to Concubine Shu.
What else could be wrong?
Naturally, Emperor Liang noticed the affair!
But the reason for this incident was still because of Song Liang's informant.
Facing the frowning Song De at this moment, how could Song Liang dare to take the initiative to mention this matter?
Of course, the farther away the better!
"Third brother, I haven't heard any news either!"
"Second brother, don't think too much. Maybe Concubine Shu is not feeling well, so she didn't attend?"
"Have you ever visited the empress?"
Song De became even more anxious: "As soon as I woke up this morning, I immediately went to look for my mother and concubine."
"But the door of the mother-in-law's Ganquan Palace is closed. The two guards guarding the door said that the mother-in-law is not feeling well, and no one is allowed to disturb her for the past few days!"
Song Liang couldn't help but think silently. It seemed that his father had the intention to put Concubine Shu into the cold palace!
"Second brother, don't be anxious. You see, Concubine Shu herself said that she is not feeling well, so she doesn't want anyone to disturb her these days."
"Why don't you, second brother, go visit your mother-in-law in a few days? Maybe your mother-in-law will be well!"
Song De was skeptical: "Is this true?"
"Seriously!" Song Liang nodded repeatedly, "Second brother, there is no need to be anxious!"
"Now let's think about how we can use what happened last night to completely bring down the prince!"
Song De didn't say anything more, but nodded thoughtfully.
It is not easy to bring down the prince.
Is it true that, as Ma Shaoxing said, under such a situation, we have to plan for the future early?
…
Crows circle the trees and the sun sets in the west.
In the imperial study room.
"Your Majesty, these are all the assets that our Daliang currently has in the treasury and grain depot."
"Winter came extremely early this year, and there are signs of a cold winter!"
"So, we must keep enough food in case of emergency."
"Although the national treasury can still balance the balance of payments, it is just a balance of payments!"
"If there is another unexpected expenditure, the national treasury will be in crisis again..."
Liu Delin, the Minister of Household Affairs, reported to Emperor Liang tremblingly and cautiously.
Seeing that Emperor Liang's face was not so good, Liu Delin was even more frightened, fearing that the news he reported was too serious and that Emperor Liang would be angry.
But there is no way, what I reported is exactly the real situation of Daliang now!
Now that everything has just returned to normal, we are facing this rare cold winter.
The situation is really not optimistic...
Emperor Liang's face was ashen, and he seemed to be thinking about countermeasures in his mind.
"Liu Delin, I ask you!"
"How much of these silver and grain reserves can be used for disposal?"
Liu Delin was startled, thinking he had heard wrongly!
The situation is already so serious. Your Majesty still needs to control money and food?
What is this going to do?
Is it possible that Your Majesty wants to follow the example of a cowardly king and disregard the life and death of the people in the world?
We don’t dare to ask, and we don’t dare to tell!
Liu Delin racked his brains, frightened and hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't answer Emperor Liang's question.
It's not that he didn't dare to answer, but that the money and food had a fixed amount.
Even if he wanted to extract it, he wouldn't be able to extract much!
Emperor Liang sighed, knowing that the question he raised was embarrassing the other party.
"Okay, I understand."
"Go down!"
After Liu Delin left, Emperor Liang leaned back on his chair and breathed a long sigh of relief.
I think that if I put down the war, suppress the horse bandits, and gain peace in the world, I would be considered a hero for the rest of my life.
Today, it would actually fall into the hands of such a fool as Xia Wenqi!
Moreover, I was worried about money and food for the winter!
This made Emperor Liang couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
"Prince Rong is here and is seeking an audience outside."
"Let him in!"
Seeing that Song Huan was coming, Emperor Liang's tired face regained some energy.
"Fourth child, you are here."
Song Huan put down the food box in his hand. Seeing the tired look on Emperor Liang's face, Song Huan couldn't help but asked with concern: "Father, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you still worried about what happened last night?"
Emperor Liang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Let's not talk about this first."
"You came just in time. What did you bring to eat?"
"I'm hungry. If you have anything to say, let's talk after dinner!"
Song Huan grinned: "My father really understands my son, he knows that he will not come empty-handed!"
"I prepared a lot of steaks and oysters earlier, but now there are still a lot left."
"The sunset is beautiful tonight. Why don't we set up a small stove under the eaves and put an iron plate on it, and we, father and son, can barbecue and eat together? Wouldn't it be nice?"
Emperor Liang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay!"
"Fourth, just do as you say!"
