Chapter 750 How Much Can You Save?
When Su Wei rushed into the Houde Hall and escorted Yu Fan away, Yu Fan looked calm, without any panic, as if he had been invited, and left the Houde Hall swaggeringly. I can't bear it anymore, it's because I'm too kind, which makes these people dare to say anything, even I dare to design, which makes Liu Xi a little unbearable.

Liu Xi didn't think about these things anymore. There are many talents in the mansion. Chen Lin and others can take over Hua Xiong's position. They don't need to care about these things at all. In the middle of the night, his eyes were a little blurred, he had just put down the paperwork, Qi Yue stood at the door, waiting, the emperor walked out of Houde Hall, and walked towards the apse.

After entering the hall, the empress had already coaxed the little guy to sleep. Seeing the emperor walking in, she didn't make a sound, for fear of waking the little guy up. Liu Xi sat on the side exhaustedly, his whole body was sore, and his whole body was sore. After softening, the queen came to his side, helped him, and took off the clothes, leaving only obscene clothes, Liu Xi drooped his head.Close your eyes.

"Your Majesty." Empress Lu called out, gently rubbing his temples for him, Liu Xi put her hands on the back of her neck, and the Queen gently rubbed the back of her neck again, Liu Xi turned her head, It seems to feel better.

Ever since she married the Son of Heaven, this has become normal for Empress Lu. The Son of Heaven would wake up very early every day, and before she even opened her eyes, she would leave here and go to Houde Hall, at noon and at night , it was difficult for the whole family to have a meal together, because the emperor was too busy, and seeing him working so hard, but not being able to help her, made the queen feel very uncomfortable.

Sometimes, the queen really wanted to scold all the ministers in the temple face to face, and ask them what they eat, why the king of a country is so tired, and where did the ministers go?

The original Liu Xi didn't show such exhaustion yet. When he first ascended the throne, he was still extremely energetic. Every day, he walked into the Hall of Houde with a smile, and told Empress Lu about interesting things in the temple. The two often laughed. Laughing, I found it very interesting, but as the days went by, Liu Xi seemed to be unable to bear the fatigue more and more, walking into Houde Hall so weakly all day long, he was so tired that he couldn't even raise his head .

Liu Xi's appearance really made Empress Lu feel distressed.

Liu Xi raised his head slowly, looked at the sleeping little guy, and asked, "Why did he sleep so early today?"

"Taking him around in the palace today, I must be tired."

"Queen."

"kindness?"

"I'm tired too"

"I know, Your Majesty." Empress Lu said, placing her head lightly on Liu Xi's shoulder, and Liu Xi put his head on her face and closed his eyes.

The next day
Sikong Mansion

Hua Xin went out early in the morning and rushed to Sikong's door. Yesterday, after coming out of the Hall of Houde, he arrived at Sikong's mansion, but he waited for nearly two ministers, but he still couldn't see Sikong. Everyone in the mansion didn't know where Sikong was going, which was very puzzling. Hua Xin couldn't wait for Sikong to return to the mansion until late at night. This was the first time he hated the abolition of the curfew so much!
So, Hua Xin had already rushed to the gate of Sikong's mansion at Chenshi today, not giving Sikong a chance to leave.

Knocking on the gate of Sikong Mansion, Hua Xin waited for a while, and then a servant came out, the servant opened the door, paid homage to Hua Xin, and asked, "Old man, what do you want?"

Hua Xin asked, "I'm here to see Liu Sikong. I don't know if Sikong is here?"

"Sikong is not with this old man, let's come back later!" The servant said, but Hua Xin was so angry that he almost jumped up. He looked at the servant in front of him angrily, and said, "I waited here yesterday. For a long time, Sikong didn't know, it was fine if he didn't get to see him, but today, he should know that I'm looking for him, so how can he still go out?"

"What's more, it's only dawn, where can Sikong go? Could it be that he deliberately avoided seeing me?? I came here under the order of the emperor, and if I delayed an important matter, even Sikong will be questioned!", Hua Xin As he spoke forcefully, the servant in front of him looked distressed, and said, "Forgive me, it's not that Sikong is hiding, but he's gone to have breakfast so he's not here."

"Dining?? Nuoda's Sikong Mansion doesn't even have a meal?? Going out to eat?? You're fooling me!" Hua Xin was furious and said, "I'm going to Houde Hall now , Sue Sikong!" As he said that, he was about to leave, but the servant quickly stopped in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Don't dare to lie to you, if you don't believe me, you can go and see for yourself."

"Sikong often goes to a restaurant in the east of the city. If you go to the east of the city, turn left at Jimin Mansion, and you will see an alley. Sikong should be there!" the servant said, remembering something, and suddenly Then he said: "By the way, Sikong always wears casual clothes. It's not easy to show his public identity to others. I hope you don't want to say anything." Hearing the servant's words, Hua Xin was dubious.

My burly man, Sikong, a majestic Sangong, still wants to eat on the street? ?

However, there is no need for this servant to deceive himself, he just went to the street to have a look, if Sikong was not there, he went to Houde Hall to impeach him.

Hua Xin thought to himself, got into the carriage, and drove slowly towards the place the servant said.

In the Wangji meat porridge shop, Liu Bei was in a happy mood, eating the meat porridge, watching the daily life of the people on the street, with a smile on his mouth, watching, a carriage suddenly stopped opposite, and the people who were chopping meat The old Wang was always looking around vigilantly, when he suddenly saw the carriage, he was startled, and said in a low voice: "If there is any situation, everyone should go first, and the meal payment will be settled tomorrow."

Liu Bei and others nodded.

Hua Xin got down from the carriage, and looking at it this way, hey, Sikong is really sitting there, wearing that clothes, if you don't look carefully, you might think he is an old farmer from somewhere, he can't see the air of wealth at all, Hua Xin Thinking in her heart, Xin walked straight towards him, seeing Hua Xin, Liu Bei frowned, thought for a moment, and then remembered who he was.

The two were ministers in the same dynasty. What's more, Liu Bei had met this person before because of the ownership of the official school platform, and finally belonged to Situ. Yesterday, Liu Bei had a busy day and returned to the mansion. When Xin came to visit, he thought about his purpose in his heart, but he didn't think of the reason. He didn't expect that all the fellows came here after him.

In the anxious eyes of the old Wangtou, Hua Xin came to Liu Bei, saluted Liu Bei, and said: "Brother, so you are here!" Liu Bei nodded, and the old Wangtou who was about to run away looked at him. Then he stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead. It turned out to be the younger brother of the third child, no, this person looked older than him anyway, and besides, aren't they the third brother? ?

Before Liu Bei could speak, someone suddenly said, "Ah, Shiro is here, come, sit down!"

Hua Xin was stunned, and looked beside Liu Bei. Looking at it this way, Hua Xin's legs gave way and he almost fell down. Damn, isn't this the current court Situ?And the current court captain? !

From their addresses, Hua Xin understood what they were thinking, so he bowed and said, "Greetings, big brother, second, third brother?"

"You are so strange, you don't even know your brother's rank?" Old Wang muttered, Cao Cao said with a smile: "He was adopted to someone else when he was a child, it's normal if he doesn't remember, Old Wang Head, give my fourth brother a bowl to eat too."

Hua Xin sat down carefully, Cao Cao looked at him with a smile, Liu Bei's face was serious, and Sun Jian's eyes were more scrutinizing, as if he felt that he came here with ulterior motives. Looking at Liu Bei, he didn't even notice that the three men of the Han Dynasty were all sitting here. Compared with these three, his official position was still very different. Sitting together, he felt a lot of pressure.

"Sien, brother, I came to you because of some important matters. It was the one from the north who asked me to come."

Hua Xin looked at Liu Bei and said in a low voice.

Liu Bei nodded, and said: "Eat something, let's talk about this." Hua Xin immediately agreed, and Lao Wang had porridge on his head. Looking at the four of them, he couldn't help shaking his head, "I have lived for so long. I have seen such strange brothers like you, who have no similar looks and heights. Forget it." Old Wangtou seemed to have noticed something, but he didn't say much.

Cao Cao just smiled, ate the meat porridge, looked at Hua Xin beside him, and asked with a smile, "Fourth brother, what's the matter, do you need to come to Erlang in person?"

"Well, I don't know what the three brothers know. It is said that this government school and Taixue will charge money. In the future, higher education institutions will collect extra money, especially Taixue. Ordinary people may not be able to pay. Of course, for the poor The common people still have support, and besides, government schools too, starting from this year, they will charge fees, maybe the three elder brothers don’t know?” Hua Xin asked.

When Hua Xin said this, the three of them immediately understood his purpose.

Cao Cao squinted his eyes and asked, "Does that one seem to think this is a good thing?"

Before Sun Jian could speak, Liu Bei slapped his knee happily, and shouted: "That's great! This should have been done long ago!" Seeing Liu Bei's appearance, the old Wang in the distance was stunned, and he stared. His eyes widened, and he asked, "You think it's good?? Is it okay to collect money? Don't you have any children at home?" Liu Bei cleared his throat and said, "Old Wangtou, you don't know. The treasury is almost out of money."

"I heard that temples don't have any money to help disaster victims in some places. What's more, these young children, who enter government schools for free, don't cherish such an opportunity at all, and don't care at all. I think, if they charge , even if they continue to not care, as parents, they will definitely care, what do you think?"

Liu Bei asked, Old Wang was silent for a moment, nodded, and said: "That's right, the first two of my three children refused to go to school, and I didn't supervise them well, so they ended up like this. Taixue, hum, it’s not too much to charge, anyway, children from ordinary families can’t get in at all!", he said, suddenly glanced at Hua Xin, and then refused to speak.

From his point of view, the people who came here in a carriage were naturally not ordinary people. The old Wang felt a little uneasy when he said those words just now.

Liu Bei still seemed quite excited. He very much agrees with the decision made by His Majesty. He is the only one present here who knows how much money the government school has spent on the national treasury. Seeing his appearance, Cao Cao shook his head disdainfully. It's really embarrassing for Sangong to be too old, he shook his head and said, "Second brother, you can just listen to these things, just be more steady."

"Brother, you don't know something. I've heard that the national treasury spends more than [-] million yuan on official education every year!"

"What?!", Cao Cao almost jumped up, his eyes widened, showing no signs of stability.
