When Han You left the palace, he was filled with emotions.
Lao Ba, you can call him Der, but you can’t call him stupid!
This is the wisdom that an emperor should have, or in other words, Lao Ba has been acting.
An actor who has acting skills and wants to win awards does not need to put in all his efforts in any movie, because he knows which movie is a bad movie.
He just needs to devote all his acting skills in an award-winning film and finally win the award.
Lao Ba is this kind of actor. When he went to court, he rarely spoke and always carefully managed the persona that he was a general who would soon become an emperor.
Seeing Han You come out, Lu Baichuan, who had been waiting for a long time, said unintentionally: "Why did it take so long to enter the palace this time?"
Han You got on his horse and said, "It's only been more than half an hour."
"Long."
Lu Baichuan really felt that it was a long time, and it usually only lasted a quarter of an hour for him to enter the palace.
I was scolded for the first five minutes, then I talked back for three minutes, and then I ran away for the last seven minutes.
Han You looked at Lu Baichuan and suddenly asked out of nowhere: "Do you think His Majesty is smart?"
"Smart."
Lu Baichuan didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "Your Majesty has the most clever ideas. When he was in the army, when he encountered troubles, all the brothers turned to him for big and small things."
The two guards at the door looked at each other.
What, what are you doing, we are still here, your majesty, can you stay away?
Han You didn't ask any more questions. He didn't know why he asked this question. Maybe it was because the three-province system surprised him.
Originally, he thought that Lao Ba would take his time and wait until the courtiers and the aristocratic family slowly lowered their guard and sat firmly on the throne before he started thinking about it. Unexpectedly, Lao Ba had already laid out a big plan silently.
Thinking of this, Han You's expression changed drastically.
He suddenly realized a problem.
When he and Shen Tugang were fighting, Lao Ba... never seemed to seriously stop him!
He had previously confronted Shen Tu Gang in the court. When Boss Zhou saw the result, he immediately sentenced Shen Tu Gang to death and reacted very quickly.
Thinking back to the first few times when he first entered the palace, Boss Zhou was not willing to touch several principals, but he was like this when he touched the prime minister and assistant of a country.
Han You laughed dumbly.
It seems that Lao Ba had come up with the three-province system as early as when Shen Tugang was still in power.
"Your Majesty told me something. I need to investigate the Zhao family."
Han You said to Lu Baichuan: "Ah Zhui and I will go back first. You go to Jingzhao Mansion to find Wang Shan and ask Wang Shan to inquire about the Zhao Mansion, whether it is Zhao Tai or Zhao Feiyu."
"Go back to the villa for dinner first. I'll go back after dinner."
"Then don't you have to make one more trip?"
Lu Baichuan checked his nose: "I'm hungry."
Han You rolled his eyes, clamped the horse's belly, and urged the horse to gallop towards the city gate.
When he was approaching the city gate, Han You suddenly turned around, looked deeply at Dachuan'er, and smiled inexplicably.
Perhaps this is the reason why Boss Zhou is arrogant and indulgent to Lu Baichuan. Wang Hai will temporarily serve as Zhao Feiyu's follower. Now the only ones protecting Han You are him, Lu Baichuan and Jiang Zhui. If they go to Jingzhao Mansion to look for Wang Shan, they will leave Jiang behind. After chasing, Lu Baichuan was worried.
"correct."
Han You patted his chest: "I almost forgot about business, let's go to the bank first."
…………
At this time, in the palace.
Lao Ba was sitting behind the desk, approving the memorial.
After looking at it, Lao Ba raised his head and said, "Is King Yan's biological mother celebrating her 60th birthday next month?"
Wen Wu shook his head: "I've never heard of it."
"Prince Yan's Mansion has received a message. It is said that Prince Yan's mother will be celebrating her 60th birthday next month. She wants to reduce or reduce the taxes in Dingjun City, Xiguan. If there is any shortfall from the court, Prince Yan's Mansion will make up for it at the end of the year."
Wen Wu recalled something: "It seems to be the end of the year. I heard it from my elder brother a few years ago."
The eldest brother refers to Boss Zhou's late confidant Wen Yong, who once held a military position in the West.
"Before I ascended the throne, I had never been to the West. After I ascended the throne, I have been ignoring Prince Yan's Mansion intentionally or unintentionally. I should express my gratitude."
"What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The Yan Prince's family is loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They guard the gates of the country and should be given some favors."
The searching Lao Ba said: "Then let's seal him."
"The mother of King Yan is a second-grade destined woman."
"Yes, I almost forgot." Lao Ba closed the memorial and began to worry: "It's not a good time to celebrate my birthday. It has to be at the end of the year. Where do I get the spare money and how much silver do I still have in the internal treasury."
"Excluding the expenses of the Yuanri Palace, I owe more than 2,400 guan."
Lao Ba was stunned: "Why do you still owe money?"
"Didn't you say that all the money Han You sent to the palace was sent to Beiguan, leaving only 20,000 guan for palace expenses?"
The boss suddenly lost his mood and asked with squinting eyes: "Then do you have money?"
Wen Wu nodded: "Yes."
"How many."
"Eighty-five strings and four hundred and sixty essays."
"That's enough." Lao Ba smiled and stretched out his hand: "Lend it to me first."
Wen Wu said expressionlessly: "I can't borrow it."
"What the hell do you mean, I am the emperor, I can borrow money from whomever I want!"
Wen Wu remained expressionless: "Because the palace hasn't announced anything yet."
Lao Ba was speechless.
Eighty-five strings and four hundred and sixty articles were the civil and military salary for more than a year, including the military salary owed by Lao Ba in the previous six months before entering the palace.
To put it in layman's terms, before and after Boss Zhou ascended the throne, he did not make any money in the civil and military divisions, so the main character just accompanied him.
Wen Wu suggested: "Or, I can go to Four Seasons Villa and ask Captain Han to borrow it."
"It's just a few hundred dollars. Excuse me. If you want to borrow it, just borrow a big one."
"Okay, then I'll go now."
Lao Ba looked suspicious: "You went to the villa just to borrow money?"
"Of course it is."
"Forget it. If the amount is too much, that kid won't lend it. If the amount is too small, I'm not embarrassed enough."
Lao Ba started to make calculations and thought for a while: "I saw a lot of calligraphy and paintings placed in Concubine De's bedroom a few days ago. Did the Xu family give her money?"
"No, the gifts are all calligraphy and paintings. Concubine De likes to dance with words and calligraphy."
"It's useless, why don't you give me money? By the way, that one...the one who cries and cries as soon as he gets on the bed, screams, screams, what's his name?"
When he heard that he could not go to the Villa, Wenwu said absently: "Your Majesty, please be gentle."
Lao Ba cursed: "I asked her what her name was, who the hell asked you what her name was!"
"Oh, Chang is here."
Wen Wu is also not happy, so just ask her what her name is. If you have to mention something in the first half of the sentence and get into bed, who knows what you are asking.
"Isn't she from the Zhang family in the south? The Zhang family is very rich. Is she rich? Also, when I go to bed from now on, you should go away and find a real eunuch."
"You already borrowed it six days ago, two thousand strings."
"Isn't I borrowing Concubine Xu?"
"Concubine Xu is the one who robbed you of the trousseau jewelry."
"Isn't that the trousseau jewelery from noble Zhou?"
"Your Majesty Zhou, you are the one who stole the calligraphy and paintings and sold them."
"Oops." Boss Zhou scratched his forehead irritably: "I always take care of thousands of ladies, and I am fooling around every day. Who among the ladies in the harem still has money?"
"Concubine Rong must be a little bit good. I heard a few days ago that she always rewards palace maids."
"Then he must be rich." Lao Ba laughed and stood up: "Let's go to Taiyun Palace."
Wenwu reminded: "Taiyun Palace is the palace of the noble Lord. When you first came to the throne, you asked me to steal her banknotes."
"You fucking have the nerve to say that." Lao Ba yelled: "I was outside in the cold for more than half an hour, and you just stole six fucking coins. If I had known that I only had six coins, I would sleep with her all night. You can come if you want, you trash!"
