Some people are walking on the road, day by day.
Some people carry them in the palace, day by day.
Beijing, Imperial Palace, Ci'an Hall.
Ci'an Hall was newly renovated. It was more than a year after the emperor ascended the throne. For the first time, he spent five figures of money to renovate Ci'an Hall openly and honestly.
Ci'an Palace was the residence of the former empress. After Han Bairen seized the palace, the former empress knew that she would not survive, so she set a fire to wonder if anyone was in the palace, but no one was there. As a result, half of it was burned and she found it too hot, so she couldn't help but run away. He came out and was stabbed to death by the rebels.
Lao Ba suddenly spent money to repair Ci'an Hall, which caused speculation among the outside world.
You must know that after the new king ascended the throne, he neither established a prince nor a queen. Now, he suddenly built a special place for the queen to live. Maybe he wanted to establish a queen who will be the mother of the world. After the queen was established, the prince was still far away.
Only one of the few first-hand empresses and concubines in the palace can make the old man, who has always been stingy, spend 13,216 coins.
It is a very strange thing that the emperor spent money to decorate his palace.
It was originally free of charge, so Lao Ba Fei looked for the construction team of Four Seasons Villa.
Four Seasons Villa is not used to this problem. You can pay as much as you need, no less.
This is also a very strange thing. If Han You doesn't give Lao Ba face, why don't Beimen Yuyong, Zhu Shang, Ji Ying and others do the same?
Because Lao Ba was too cheap, he would always go to the villa to blackmail him. If nothing happened, he would ask Sun An to take Situ Yu, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, to the villa to check the accounts.
According to Lao Ba's opinion, he and Han You are good brothers. Now that his good brother has gone to the Southland, the gangsters under the good brother may dare to cheat and make some money.
The good brother lost money, so Lao Ba, who was the dividend sharer, would naturally lose money, and then asked Situ Yu, the dignified left servant of the Ministry of Revenue, to check the accounts.
Situ Yu felt ashamed every time he went there, because the latest accounting methods of the Ministry of Accounts were taught by the old masters and a few stewards at Four Seasons Villa.
You must know that even when Han You was here, he rarely checked the accounts, let alone asked this and that as if to guard against thieves.
In addition, Beimen Yuyong also knew what kind of face Lao Ba was. Not only did he not have many people to renovate the palace, but he also spent a lot of money. All the leftover materials from the construction of the stadium were used.
Even so, Lao Ba was extremely happy.
This idiot was very clear about his calculations. He spent money to decorate his house. Han You got the money for him.
The money Han You gave him, that is, the money to decorate the house, was earned by the construction team of Four Seasons Villa.
As for the construction team, not only did they have to pay taxes to the court, but they also essentially belonged to the Four Seasons Villa, and the Four Seasons Villa had to share dividends with the palace.
Therefore, Lao Ba is almost a prostitute for nothing, from beginning to end.
Not to mention prostitution in a renovated palace, Empress De Fei who entered Ci'an Palace was moved to tears and was served by Lao Ba.
Whether it's a person or a dog, it's obvious that Lao Ba is in charge.
After the clouds and rain passed, Lao Ba sat there with his butt naked, and Concubine De gently squeezed his shoulders.
The old man was like this. Before he came, he stood straight and straight, as if he had never seen a woman in his eight lives. After he was done, he started to pretend to be a wise king again, opening and closing his mouth to speak to the people of the world at dawn.
"Hey, it's rare for me to be extravagant. If I hadn't doted on you the most, I wouldn't have spent so much money to repair the palace. Do you know that the people in the city have not been seen even by the eight, eighteen, and eighty-eighth generations? Millions of money."
Concubine De was so angry that she had no idea how much money you had borrowed from me before and after you ascended the throne. This was enough to build the palace many times.
Thinking so, Concubine De still couldn't say, who calls him the emperor? When he mentions money, he mentions the people, the army, and the country.
Concubine De really couldn't say anything. She knew it well. Lao Ba did not enjoy much happiness, and all the money he had was given to the army.
"By the way, have you read the letter that bastard the second brother wrote a few days ago?"
I have seen it. "
Concubine De originally smiled, but she didn't know what she was thinking of, so she sighed quietly.
"Why sigh?"
"My concubine has used up all the soap in the villa a few days ago. Originally, the villa sent soap to the palace on time. Since Ci'an Palace was built, for some reason, no one from the villa sent soap to the palace."
The emperor blushed.
It was what he had asked Sun An and Beimen Yuyong to say before. The villa cannot always be taken advantage of. Every expense must be recorded, no matter how small it is. Don't spend anything that shouldn't be spent, especially Stop giving away "free" things randomly. If anyone is dissatisfied, come to the palace and talk to him, the emperor.
Concubine De didn't take it seriously and said to herself: "There is someone in the palace. When I get to the south of the city, I want to rent a carriage from the horse and carriage shop..."
"Oh, Luo Li, I'm sorry. I've been looking at Wan Ji all day long. How can I have the time to listen to you talking about such trivial matters?"
Concubine De slapped Lao Ba on the back and continued: "The people below have heard a lot of rumors about Commander Han."
"Is it a rumor?" Lao Ba turned his head calmly: "What rumors are there? Tell me about it."
"It's about the Villa, the Confederate Army, and General Han Bairen."
Concubine De was slightly suspicious: "Your Majesty, didn't you hear?"
"I heard about it, but I didn't ask about the gossip."
Concubine De did not hide anything and told the rumors she knew.
First of all, there is the villa. Many scholars in Beijing said that the villa is the most despicable place in the world. The etiquette and music are ruined and morals are corrupted. This dancer and that artist are just showing off, and they have squandered the ambitions of many heroes. The Great Zhou Dynasty is dead. Chao's writing style, and the gambling stalls are full of bone-sucking and marrow-eating demon caves.
Let’s talk about the Southern Army again. Rumor has it that many foreign barbarians have been brought in from Nanguan. The former enemies have become today’s friends. Is it possible for the South to rebel?
Even Han Bairen, who is now qualified to be the general of Zhuguo and in charge of the Eighth Battalion of the Imperial Guard, has been criticized for abuse of lynching, unclear rewards and punishments, arrogance and domineering, etc.
Concubine De spoke in a nutshell, and glanced at Lao Ba's face: "I am from a woman's family, and I am a member of the country. I don't understand, and I don't dare to say anything. I only know that there is no such thing as Commander Han in the court." He is such a loyal minister, I only know that there is no one as friendly as Commander Han next to His Majesty."
As she spoke, Concubine De put on her clothes, her eyes a little red.
"I don't know if you have read Tong'er's letter. If you haven't read it, I will tell you that Han You has such a strong body, but he personally led people out of the customs and walked for several days and nights in the dark mountains and forests. , I don’t know how many risks I took to rescue Xiaoer, and now I have to bear a huge responsibility..."
"enough!"
Lao Ba's face was as gloomy as water: "I know everything you said. You don't understand the things in the court. If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense."
Concubine De's heart skipped a beat and she frowned: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I don't know how many people in the capital want to throw dirty water on Commander Han. I know you, how could you not know the intention of the foreign minister? Since You know it, why let it go..."
"Just rest."
Lao Ba stood up: "I still want to approve the memorial..."
"Zhou Ke!"
Concubine De, who called Lao Ba by his first name, suddenly stood up, pointed at the emperor's nose and scolded him.
"Well, Zhou Ke, now that you have become the emperor, you have learned to be ruthless. Now Han You has become the target of public criticism. You knew it but didn't say anything. Don't forget that it was Han You who restored Tong'er's face. Yan'er I owe my current ambition to Han You, and Xiaoer's life was saved by Han You. Back then, you told me that the ruthlessness of the Tian family was a joke, and you would never become a ruthless emperor. If you didn't say that you, Zhou Ke, Of blood and flesh, just talking about your throne, others don’t know it, don’t you Zhou Ke know this throne..."
"Jiang Rongde."
The wooden table was kicked over, and Zhou Ke's face was full of anger: "Don't forget who you are talking to!"
Not only was Concubine De not afraid, she puffed out her chest and shouted: "Talk to you, talk to you Zhou Ke, how can you chop off my head if you can!"
"you…"
The emperor's face was uncertain, and finally he snorted heavily and walked away with his sleeves waving.
