After stealing the divorce book, Princess Salted Fish fell off her horse

Chapter 410 I Make You a Beggar

The little eunuch hurried forward and said cautiously: "Report to the emperor, Empress Defei..."

"Let her in!" The emperor frowned.

The little eunuch was even more cautious: "The empress has already gone back, and she left the ginseng chicken soup stewed by herself, saying that it will make up for the emperor!"

The emperor was slightly displeased at first, but when he heard that Concubine De had gone back, the displeasure dissipated immediately, this is what Concubine De would do.It was true that she was worried about Chu Jingxian, but she had a sense of proportion.

The emperor said: "Bring it in!"

He called out again: "Li Yu!"

Eunuch Li quickly trotted forward.

"You make a trip yourself, go to the prison, and release Lao Qi!" Jun Wu joked, since he promised Concubine De yesterday, if he releases Lao Qi today, he must keep his word.It also saves Concubine De from holding a sick body and worrying about her.

"The slave obeys the order!"

After Eunuch Li left, the emperor shouted again: "Where is Liu Dazhu! Tell him to come and see me!"

Liu Dazhu is the emperor's Eunuch Liu, a chief eunuch and a deputy chief.

Liu Dazhu's name is too down-to-earth, he was originally serving the emperor, so he wanted to change it, but when he was first transferred to the emperor's side, the emperor knew his name, and he had some bad tastes, so he kept the name.

He wasn't on duty today, but someone outside the hall called him.

After the court, Kong Xi was full of anger.

Another half-year salary is gone, and after this calculation, he will have no salary until June next year.

Others have a shop, farmland, and Zhuangzi to subsidize, but his family has nothing, only two debt collectors, and the next step is to drink the northwest wind.In the carriage, he couldn't help but slap the fist he used to hit someone several times.You can't help it, you can't help it, it's all right now, you'll be poor.It's really fun to beat someone for a while, and I'll punish you for a salary!

Now that there is no war on the frontier, he, a general, cannot go out to fight, and has no extra income.I really worry about him!
Ming old fox must have done it on purpose.

According to the normal situation, the civil servants were beaten in front of the palace, and the emperor beat dozens of boards at most.He is thick-skinned and not afraid of being beaten, so why deduct his salary?What an old fox, murderous!

If this idea is known to others, he will definitely think he is crazy.

Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to hit the board in front of the hall in public?Such things as fines and salaries are decent, right?

But Kong Xi felt that if he loses someone, he loses face, so what face is there?
Can face be exchanged for a few bags of rice?Can face be exchanged for silver?

He went back angrily, but when he got back to the General's Mansion, he was dejected again.

When I entered the door, I saw that the two debt collectors were not at home.

There used to be more than 80 servants in the huge general's mansion, but they couldn't afford to support them, so they were slowly dismissed.

Now there are only three servants.

A porter who looks after the gate and cleans the front yard.

A cook who is responsible for shopping and cooking.

a butler.

Inner yard cleaning?No, the father, son, father and daughter are responsible for cleaning the yard by themselves.

Maid boy?No, I can't afford it, I've already been fired!
Washing the old woman?No, the laundry matter, the father, son, father and daughter are in charge of themselves!

gardener?What are you kidding?What kind of flowers and plants can be planted when people can't support them?
nursing home?Not to mention that the General's Mansion is so poor that mice don't even come to patronize it, let's talk about the three of them, which one is not the devil, the overlord, and the little witch?Who dares to steal?
groom?This could be, but they don't!There is a stable in the General's Mansion, and the butler has several jobs, including raising horses!
……

In short, this should be the poorest general's mansion in history, and it is getting poorer and poorer!
The reason for the poverty, Kong Xi thinks, is because there are two debt collectors in the family.

But in fact, he is more capable than two debt collectors!
He has not received his salary normally a few times.

He sat in the house and sighed. After another half a year, the rice at home was only enough for half a month.

He touched himself, touched all the places where money could be placed all over his body, and found three pennies, three small coins with a square inside and a circle outside, in his big hands, it was really shabby!
He sighed and put it in his arms like a baby.

At this time, the porter hurried over to report: "My lord, there are people coming from the palace!"

Kong Xi: "..."

The salary has already been deducted, the emperor will not send someone to scold him, right?

That's not his fault, if that crooked mouth Tao Dun comes with a sword and a sharp spear, even if he points his nose and scolds him, he still respects that Tao Dun is a man, and he won't do anything. In fact, he is a gentleman!
As a result, Si Guang knew how to play dirty tricks, and even dared to set him up with oblique words, if he didn't hit him, who would he hit?
Thinking about it, not feeling angry, he still hurried out to greet her.

Someone from the palace represents the emperor!
It was Liu Dazhu who came.

Kong Xi laughed and said: "It turned out to be Eunuch Liu. Eunuch Liu came in and sat down. Housekeeper, go make tea!"

The housekeeper was tangled in a dilemma, and finally said cautiously: "Master, our family hasn't drunk tea since last year, can white water work?"

Kong Xi: "..."

Eunuch Liu: "..."

Kong Xi waved his hand: "Then white water!"

Eunuch Liu hurriedly said: "No, no, no! General, our family is here to preach the imperial decree!"

Kong Xi looked him up and down: "Where is the imperial decree?"

Eunuch Liu said: "It's an oral order!"

Sure enough, he rushed to the mansion and scolded him, it was a real blow!
Alas, don't be so impulsive next time.

Eunuch Liu saw that he became sleepy in an instant, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he straightened his face and said, "Kong Xi accepts the order!"

Kong Xi knelt down.

Eunuch Liu doesn't care about anything else. After all, a person who entertains guests can only use plain water, so how can you expect him to set up an incense table?

He opened his mouth and said in a straight voice: "Kong Xi, you old boy, how do you feel about deducting your salary? I have a good temper, and I am used to you, an old boy, to be lawless, right? I heard that you are so poor that you tighten your pants. What’s wrong with your belt? The rope of your trouser belt can’t tie your hands? If you dare to beat Lao Tzu’s civil officials in public in the court, I will make you a beggar!”

Sure enough, scold him, he knows it!
Eunuch Liu's face is very strange, this is the weirdest imperial decree he has ever passed on, it's plainly said.

However, he also understood that the emperor was sympathetic to General Kong.

General Kong Da is a military commander. Although he seems to be ignorant with his vulgar words, I heard that he is very talented in fighting. do not give.

The emperor was probably afraid that the imperial edict was too literary and General Kong would not be able to understand it, so General Kong would naturally understand it when he said it this way.

Kong Xi said dejectedly: "My minister Kong Xi accepts the order!"

Eunuch Liu laughed and said, "It's not over yet!"

He said again: "The emperor said, 'I see you are pitiful, old boy, I will reward you with some money!'"

After finishing these words, Kong Xi suddenly raised his head, his eyes were shining, looking at Eunuch Liu with burning and eager eyes.

Eunuch Liu: "..."
