Chapter 126
The sun is due south.

Tang Chongjian heard movement at the gate of the yamen, and immediately pretended to go out for a walk after lunch.

Among the six ministries, except for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials, all the rest went to Yangyuan Hall to ask His Majesty for money. He waited for a long time before he got any movement, so he naturally would not let it go.

However, when Tang Chongjian went out, he was dumbfounded.

The ministers returned in groups, each carrying a vegetable basket filled with green, juicy spinach.

This is, group grocery shopping?
The six parts are already so busy?

There were about a dozen people carrying the vegetable baskets, and there were representatives from each department. Tang Chongjian quickly stepped forward and stopped Liang Yanqing and Mencius Jin, who were the leaders.

Liang Yanqing didn't want to talk.

He was the first to dig spinach in the Royal Vegetable Garden. After visiting His Majesty's vegetable garden, not only did his anger completely dissipate, but he also admired His Majesty's hard work and thrift.Later, seeing people from other departments entering the garden to dig spinach one after another, he felt much more at ease.

Until he saw the triumphant Qin Shima in front of the Suzaku Gate, and learned that His Majesty allocated 100 million taels of silver to Taipu Temple, his anger was rekindled.

His majestic Ministry of Rites is actually not as important as Taipusi, which raises horses. His Majesty treats him so differently, and the Ministry of Rites is directly dumped by Taipusi by eighteen blocks.

After that, no matter what others asked or said, he was too lazy to answer.

Mencius touched his nose and said with a sneer, "It's all His Majesty's grace."

"Haha...haha..." Tang Chongjian laughed and clasped his fists in the sky, shaking his hands in a fake way, and sighed, "The emperor's grace is so great!"

"The sage has said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. No matter what situation you are in, Your Majesty can always adhere to the virtue of simplicity and thrift. Work hard."

Tang Chongjian's words were earnest, and he smiled awkwardly on the faces of everyone who pointed him out, wishing to stew this iron rooster directly in his heart.

The narrow-minded iron rooster, wasn't he blocked by them yesterday, and he still held grudges until now, looking at his gloating appearance, isn't he just mocking them for getting a slap in the face with His Majesty, and didn't gain any benefit?

How much better are you than us as the Minister of the Household Department?
Liang Yanqing finally couldn't stand it anymore, and said with a smirk: "It's better for Mr. Tang to relax. Now the Ministry of Household Affairs has nothing to do with it and hangs up high. I'm envious of waiting."

After speaking, Liang Yanqing went back to the office.In his view, no matter how much Tang Chongjian danced around, it could not change the fact that the household department was emptied by His Majesty.

Tang Chongjian was poked into a pain point, and angrily wanted to go to the Ministry of Rites to ask Liang Yanqing for an argument, but Jiang Yousi pulled him aside and made way with all his colleagues, "Masters, haven't you eaten yet? Please, please, today's lunch, Miao ah."

The six yamen are connected together, occupying an entire street, and ordinary people are not allowed to approach easily.Since the ancestors, the six yamen have the rule of managing meals at noon, and each yamen has a back kitchen. However, for the sake of fairness, the daily recipes of the six back kitchens are the same.

It used to be the same color, fragrance and variety with a variety of patterns, but now the same clear soup with little water and a single menu makes people lose their appetite at first sight.

Everyone knew that Jiang Youpan was talking nonsense, and the hungry people had no time to talk nonsense with Jiang Youpan, and soon Qi Chang was left alone on the street.

"Yo! Master Qi!" Jiang Yousi stared at his basket, and joked casually, "Is Jingzhao Mansion going to move? Why do I remember that Jingzhao Mansion and Liubu Mansion are not going along the way."

Qi Chang replied with a smile, "Xiaguan really has this idea. Seeing that your six movies are lively every day, I really envy others."

Qi Chang was short of the words "I'm just here to see the excitement" written on his face.

"Master Qi's basket is..." Jiang Yousi looked hesitant.

"Your Majesty Jiang, don't you know? Loofah vegetables! Your Majesty asked the officials if they like spinach, and the officials replied, "I prefer loofah vegetables." So, Your Majesty rewarded me with a basket of loofah vegetables."

After speaking, Qi Chang took his leave and walked away triumphantly, like a peasant woman who went to the market and took advantage of it.

……

When the three huge sums of silver were transferred to the Ministry of War, Dali Temple, and Taipu Temple, the officials finally knew what was the difference between those who got the food rewards and those who didn’t get the food rewards in the Yangyuan Temple that day, and at the same time, the dissatisfaction in their hearts was completely boiling .

It was difficult for them to lick their skins and ask for tens of thousands of taels of silver, but those three were better, starting with 100 million, and the Ministry of War even got 500 million in one go!

They are all working for the court from dawn to dusk. It is simply unjust for His Majesty to treat them so affectionately!

Just because they are not His Majesty's childhood sweethearts, not His Majesty's blood relatives, are they not worthy of a drastic career?
The crowd is excited, but they only dare to yell in the yamen, from morning to night.

Tang Chongjian directly filed for sick leave, and now he has been completely dismissed as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, staying in the Yamen not only has a splitting headache from the noise, but also endures ridicule from other departments everywhere.

A group of things that follow the wind, when the treasury was rich, who didn't rush to stick to his household department, but now that he is poor, they dare to push their noses on their faces and use him as a vent, so he won't suffer from this Idle!

Tang Chongjian went home with his bedroll in his hands, planning to take a long vacation. Before he could walk out of the household office, he was stopped by Jiang Yousang, "Listen to my brother's persuasion, go back, what to do. Your Majesty never cares about us laughing and cursing." , as long as it doesn't get in the way of her business, she will be happy to watch the show."

"However, if I get serious and block her way, she will definitely..." Jiang Youpan suppressed the last few words.

Tang Chongjian's heart trembled and trembled when he heard it, his heart was subdued, but his face was still stubborn, "I was also forced to do nothing, my brother didn't know, how they arranged me behind the scenes, others didn't care, yesterday I was under my command Those few actually called me in private..."

The words were so harsh that Tang Chongjian couldn't utter them.

Jiang Yousi patted him on the shoulder and said, "Endure the calm for a while, and take a step back to open up the sea and the sky. At this juncture, brother must hold back."

"Otherwise, Your Majesty really doesn't mind if you pack up and leave."

Tang Chongjian didn't dare to speak harshly again, "But my leave letter has already been handed in, alas, what should I do?"

Jiang Youpan smiled and took out a booklet from the sleeve.

"You're confused, aren't you? Forgot what I do?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and Tang Chongjian's depression dissipated a lot. In the next half month, no matter how others ridiculed the household department or sneered at him face to face, he just endured it and endured it. He couldn't help it, and endured it again.

Until one day, an urgent report came from Yongzhou, and Yin Qilei had confirmed that King Yong was collaborating with the enemy and treason. sweat.

Fortunately, he listened to Brother Jiang's advice and did not play petty temper in front of His Majesty.

"King Yong is collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, what do you think?"
