Chapter 45 The Ministers Were Taken to the Silver Digging Site by the Emperor

The breeze in the bamboo garden was gentle, and the scholars were reciting poems and writing couplets in it, which was the most elegant.

Xu Jijiu was even more shameless, "I watch bamboo every day just to remind myself from time to time to learn its unyielding character."

Oh my god.

Master Liu was speechless, people from this scholarly family are different.

No wonder the emperor thought he was stupid before.

Look, a big corrupt official pretended to be himself!

"Yes, I also feel that this yard is very poetic. Let me turn around, maybe I can imitate Cao Zhi's seven-step poem and write a good one."

Master Liu said, and then he put his hands behind his back and walked around in the bamboo garden.

Xu Jijiu wanted to say something but stopped, but it was too late to stop him.

Master Liu walked around in the bamboo garden like a walk, reciting poems and writing couplets in his mouth, looking very comfortable.

But he was actually always paying attention to his feet.

The color of this soil is wrong, it is new.

Hmm? That piece looked like it had just been turned over last night.

Mr. Liu looked at the whole yard and found that the color of the soil was one or two years old, not like the old soil where bamboo had been planted for a long time.

Others could not see it, but Mr. Liu was still studying hard in the village when he was a scholar, and he had to help in the fields during the autumn busy season.

He grew up in the fields and could use a hoe to cultivate the land with his eyes closed.

Mr. Liu recited a messy poem and gave his wife a look.

Then he followed Xu Jijiu to the pavilion for tea, "Let's go, I was just about to congratulate you on the birth of your great-grandson."

Mrs. Liu immediately turned around and walked towards the place where Mr. Liu had just stepped on.

She smiled at Madam Xu who was coming to entertain her, "I'm really a little greedy to see so many fresh bamboo shoots in your house."

Madam Xu stiffened when she heard this, but soon smiled, "Go sit in my room for a while, I'll bring you a basket back home later."

"Okay! Then I won't be polite." Madam Liu smiled, but she slowly squatted down where Mr. Liu had just stopped.

"Don't give us big ones, I think this newly planted small bamboo shoot is okay."

She was about to stand up, but soon she made a sound, and pretended to fall to the ground.

Her body quickly made a look as if she could only hold the bamboo shoots in a hurry!

As a result, she pulled out several bamboo shoots beside her with roots and mud!

Madam Xu was shocked and rushed over to cover it!

Xu Jijiu in the pavilion stood up even more suddenly, knocking over the tea on the table!

I saw that the tender bamboo shoots in Madam Liu's hand had a large part of the root without soil!

In Chonghua Palace, the emperor took his daughter Chuchu from Wei Zheng with a smile.

"My little princess, are you cold?"

He quickly touched Chuchu's pink and tender little hand.

Just when he was about to ask someone to light another pot on the stove in the palace.

He saw his daughter Chuchu turned over and looked out the window with interest.

She smacked her lips and thought to herself, [The queen's family actually sent someone to talk to my grandfather to help the eldest prince become the crown prince. ]

Xiao Yunzhou was stunned.

[They actually threatened my grandfather, saying that the emperor father would definitely not tolerate the crown prince's mother's family being powerful and doing things for the world. They told my grandfather that if he wanted to get promoted, he could only help the eldest prince ascend the throne. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's chest rose and fell, and his eyes went dark.

The queen's party's hands are really getting longer and longer!

In their eyes, do they still have him as the emperor! ?

Are they happy to sideline him?

Xiao Chuchu was watching the live broadcast of the system, and didn't notice Xiao Yunzhou getting angry at all. She was still looking at Master Liu, and was very interested. [Hehe, my grandfather didn't pay any attention to him. He said that he only served the emperor and worked for the people. ]

Xiao Yunzhou's expression suddenly turned from anger to joy.

The Liu family is upright.

In this way, he was relieved to establish the fifth prince.

Even if he really died early in the future, the Liu family would not do anything to undermine the Xiao royal family!

[Hey, why did my grandfather go to Xu Jijiu's house? ] Xiao Chuchu was surprised and said in her heart while watching the live broadcast.

Xiao Yunzhou raised his eyebrows and was a little unhappy.

The queen's father was a veteran of three dynasties. He presided over the imperial examinations and accepted many new scholars as students.

As a result, although the queen's father is not in the court now, he has a group of helpers who speak for the queen's family.

What's wrong with Master Liu?

The people sent by the queen were stimulated, and they also followed the queen's father's example and went to hang out with the chief priest of the Imperial College?

The Imperial College is where the talents of the Hanlin Academy come from!

Could it be that his Liu family wants to become the second queen's family? To recruit students and control the court?

Xiao Yunzhou couldn't help but be suspicious.

Xiao Chuchu didn't notice the emperor's father's mood, and soon realized it while watching the live broadcast, [So the grandfather went to congratulate the chief priest on having a great-grandson. ]

Xiao Yunzhou still didn't relax.

These officials have superficial reasons for their movements.

But they are all forming cliques in private.

Do they think he doesn't know?

If Old Liu really did that, he would at most not punish him severely for the sake of the little princess and the fifth prince, but he would have to leave him idle in the future.

There was no other way. He did it not for himself, but for the future Jingguo to still have the surname Xiao, not Liu!

Xiao Yunzhou thought so.

But in a flash, his daughter's next words made his unhappiness disappear, and he still blamed himself.

[Ah! Grandfather went to Xu Jijiu's bamboo forest! Ah, he found several million taels of corrupt silver buried under the bamboo forest! ]

[Oh, it turns out that grandfather didn't go to congratulate, but to catch bribe-takers for the emperor father! ]

"!"

Xiao Yunzhou:!"

Xiao Yunzhou was shocked, surrounded by unprecedented self-blame and shock!

He had wrongly blamed Master Liu for his loyalty!

In an instant, he stood up.

"Wei Zheng, I remember that Xu Jijiu recently got a great-grandson, is that true?"

"Come here, prepare the car, I want to go to Xu Jijiu's house in disguise to 'congratulate' him!"

Xiao Chuchu blinked her big watery grape eyes, and soon she was happy, [Emperor father, take me~]

[Oh, I want to go too~ I want to watch the silver digging~ watch the scene of catching corrupt officials! ]

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou was immediately happy, "The third princess will go with me."

Halfway through, he stopped again, "Wei Zheng, go to the front and call the cabinet and six ministries on duty!"

Cabinet meeting room.

Several chief and deputy chief assistants were talking to the Censorate and the Dali Temple when they heard the emperor's order.

"What? The emperor asked us to put down our work and go to congratulate Xu Jijiu on the full moon of his great-grandson?"

What drama is this about?

"The emperor is indeed a little young," said Fu Cha, the first to laugh. "He reprimanded the officials in the court before, but now he has lowered his status and repaired the relationship with his ministers."

Everyone thought it made sense.

"The emperor wanted to save face, so he couldn't come to talk to us in person. He used the happy event of the Imperial College's chief priest to show that he didn't want to fall out with the officials."

"That's right." The Minister of Personnel stroked his beard, "The emperor can't rule the world alone, he still has to rely on the cabinet and the six ministries."

They were also happy to give the emperor a way out.

They quickly packed up their things and went with the emperor.

But although they were willing, the cabinet and the six ministries were still unwilling to admit defeat easily.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet is very busy today. The performance evaluation of officials from all over the country has not yet ended, and we have to prepare for the imperial examinations at the beginning of the year. You asked us to go to the home of the chief priest to meet Xu Jijiu. It is really a big deal."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have a lot of things to do in the Ministry of Personnel."

"The same goes for our Ministry of War. We can't leave at all!"

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou was so angry that he laughed and kept silent all the way.

Until he entered the gate of Xu Jijiu and heard the voice from the small courtyard behind-

"Ah, Xu Jijiu, your bamboo shoots are so clean, they only have a little mud when you pull them out..."

"It turns out that they are planted on boxes of silver!"

Master Liu shouted loudly, with a yin and yang tone.

"You actually hid so much silver under your bamboo garden! Xu Jijiu, you corrupt and law-breaking thing!"

The first assistant, the second assistant, and the officials of the six ministries at the door were all stunned!
