October.
Xu Da and Xu Yungong returned to the capital.
Lao Zhu immediately sent Zhu Biao to express condolences.
Yang Xuan also returned to Wei Guogong's mansion immediately.
"Teacher." Seeing Xu Da's head full of white hair and his body losing weight several times, Yang Xuan felt indescribably uncomfortable.
"You kid, what's wrong with me makes me feel like I'm going to die." Xu Da was in a good mood and taught Yang Xuan a lesson.
"Aren't disciples worried about you?" Yang Xuan said.
"Okay, I'm fine as a teacher." Xu Da waved his hand.
Yang Xuan was speechless. Is it wrong to care more?
But he knew Xu Da, who hated seeing a grown man crying in front of him.
Yang Xuan didn't take it seriously. The teacher could teach him a lesson, so it didn't seem to be a big problem.
Then he found Zhu Biao and the two started chatting.
When Zhu Biao came this time, he brought many supplements that Lao Zhu had given to Xu Da, all of which were treasures from the palace.
It can be seen that Lao Zhu attaches great importance to and worries about Xu Da.
After all, Lao Zhu's nephew Li Wenzhong died of illness just before spring began.
In the yard, Zhu Biao was complaining about Yang Xuan.
"What's going on with you these days?"
"You don't even come to the East Palace to help me."
"Government affairs are so busy that I am almost overwhelmed."
Since Lao Zhu abolished the Zhongshu Province, the level of the six departments has been improved, and the rank of Shangshu has changed from the third rank to the second rank.
The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion was split into the Five Army Governor's Mansion.
The Yushitai was also changed to the Inspectorate.
All matters were reported directly to the emperor.
Coupled with Lao Zhu's attitude towards officials, many things were within the scope of their duties, but officials did not dare to make their own decisions and chose to report to the emperor.
After all, if you do well, there will be no reward. If you do poorly, you might even lose your head.
So most officials choose to live one day at a time.
This also resulted in many government affairs that could only be handled by Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao.
Even with the cabinet sharing the burden, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were extremely busy.
Faced with Zhu Biao's complaint, Yang Xuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Tomb of Heroes of Wenwen Township, I am not willing to do it, but I am really powerless!"
Recently, Anqing has just started its personnel affairs, and Yang Xuan is busy imparting experience. He has no time to talk to Zhu Biao, an old man.
Zhu Biao: Bah, you scumbag!
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes silently in his heart, and then said quietly: "I see, it's my fault for not being considerate of you."
"Let's do this. I'll let my little sister go back to the palace to stay for a while, so that you can have a good rest."
(⊙_⊙)?? ? ?
Yang Xuan looked at Zhu Biao, his head filled with questions.
But he saw Zhu Biao's playful smile.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart: "You, Mr. Zhu, only gave me one salary, and you still want me to work two jobs. You are even more ruthless than capitalists."
"Your Highness, I am a military general..." Yang Xuan refused to give up and wanted to continue trying, but was interrupted by Zhu Biao.
"Okay, you've been using this excuse for so many years, it's worn out long ago."
"Are you coming or not? If you don't come, I will let my little sister go back to the palace."
You boss Zhu with thick eyebrows and big eyes, why did you catch a sheep like me... Yang Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly.
But now that his weakness is being taken advantage of, Yang Xuan can only give in.
"Your Highness, we agreed that we can help."
"But I am just a military commander, doing the work of a civil servant."
"You have to pay more!"
This was his last bit of stubbornness.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Biao's forehead was covered with black lines.
He said angrily: "Why are you so obsessed with money?"
"ah?"
"The salary for your title plus the salary for your military service."
"And when you and my little sister got married, your father gave you a lot of rewards."
"Not to mention, the dowry, village property, land and other properties that my little sister brought over."
"So much money, isn't it enough for you?"
"Your Highness, who would think money is too much?"
"Besides, it costs a lot of money."
Yang Xuan spread his hands and looked like I won't work if you don't pay more.
That is, in front of Zhu Biao. If he said this in front of Lao Zhu, he would definitely want to compete with Lao Zhu's knife to see which one is harder.
"I don't even ask you where you spent your money."
"Anyway, you must report to the East Palace tomorrow."
"As for money, how much do you want?"
Zhu Biao asked.
"This, Your Highness, please give it to me!"
"I won't mind if I'm missing you."
"I'm just afraid that if the news spreads, it will bring bad reputation to His Highness."
Yang Xuan looked at Zhu Biao and said.
Zhu Biao's veins were twitching on his forehead, wasn't he just trying to make more money?
He also said something bad about his reputation.
How could there be such shameless people in this world.
"I know." Zhu Biao glared at Yang Xuan angrily.
"Oh, by the way, Your Highness, I only accept gold!" Yang Xuan said again, fearing that Zhu Biao would give him the treasure banknotes.
"Get out of here!" Zhu Biao broke his guard and said through gritted teeth.
"Yes, I will retire first." Yang Xuan happily returned to his home.
Then he told An Qing about the matter.
"Xiao Xuanzi, why are you so bad!"
"That is to say, the prince brother has a good temper. If he were the emperor, you would be punished if you didn't say anything today." An Qing gave Yang Xuan a very seductive look.
"I'm not stupid. Why bother His Majesty for nothing?" Yang Xuan's throat rolled as he looked at An Qing's appearance at this moment. He couldn't help but pick An Qing up by the waist and went to the bedroom.
"Xiao Xuanzi, what are you doing?"
"It's daytime now!" An Qing was startled and said angrily.
"Of course!" Yang Xuan said matter-of-factly.
He closed the door directly with his heel.
Soon, a creaking sound came from the room again, and Yang Xuan cursed:
"This bed isn't good. I'll change it tomorrow."
…
In the evening, Zhu Biao sent someone to deliver gold.
…
The next day, Yang Xuan came to the East Palace as promised.
Zhu Biao directly handed Yang Xuan an account book.
"It's almost the end of the year, and you will be responsible for reviewing the accounts of the Account Department."
"In December, all reviews must be completed."
"Your Highness, I did it all by myself?" Yang Xuan asked.
This is an extremely complicated job. The Ministry of Household Affairs manages the country's money, food, taxes and other matters.
There are many accounts.
This is not the future, where there are computers, but now it all depends on manpower.
Even if Yang Xuan is broken into eight pieces, nothing will be done!
Fortunately, Zhu Biao also took this into consideration and did not let Yang Xuan do it all by himself.
"I've arranged some people to help you."
"Don't let me down!"
"I paid you."
"Your Highness, please rest assured that I will live up to Your Highness's expectations." Yang Xuan said, patting his chest.
"Well, go get busy!"
Yang Xuan spent the next day busy at work.
It wasn't until evening that I dragged my exhausted body back to the house.
"Anqing, I'm back."
"Anqing?" Seeing no response, Yang Xuan called again.
"Little princess?"
"Xiuhe? Xiuhe?"
Yang Xuan searched all over the mansion but could not find An Qing or Xiuhe.
Um? Where is my grown-up wife?
Yang Xuan's mind was filled with questions.
He stopped a maid and asked about the whereabouts of Anqing and Xiuhe.
"Uncle, this afternoon, the prince sent someone to come, saying that he would take the princess back to the palace to stay for a few days."
the maid answered.
Um?
Hearing the maid's answer, Yang Xuan was stunned for a moment.
He immediately sent the maid away, and when there was no one around, he yelled!
"Damn it!"
"Damn it!"
"Boss Zhu, Boss Zhu, you stole the house while I was away, right?"
At the same time, the East Palace.
Zhu Biao closed the folder in his hand and looked out the window with a smile.
"Yang Xuan, my money is not so easy to get!"
…
