Chapter 687 689. Foreboding
Another person persuaded Zhou Shicong from the household department to make a concession, and Zhou Shicong's face darkened.

He and Zhou Shixiong belonged to the same clan, and they also occupied two Shangshu, so he had a faint premonition in his heart.

Even if the current emperor loves talents, it is impossible for the same family to be in charge of the household department and the military department.

Zhou Shixiong has a queen and military exploits behind him, so those who back down are easy to choose.

In order to compete for a place in the court, he has been trembling enough these days.

Originally, this matter should not be attributed to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but these people want to spread the matter on him, which is really tricky.

If you want to catch yourself, it depends on whether you give it a chance.

Zhou Shicong looked at everyone coldly, they were all old courtiers, and he couldn't believe that they didn't see through the Holy Majesty's thoughts.

Now these people are besieging him, and they are also trying to please the Holy One in a disguised form.

"This money was embezzled by Liu Xuan. It is impossible to destroy it. There must be a place to go. It depends on the adults of the Ministry of Punishment to figure out a way."

If he approves the money lightly this time, there will be more appropriation requests in the future.

The treasury doesn't have a steady stream of money that can be squandered like this, so he has to cut it off at the source, so that these people can rest their minds.

There was a stalemate here, Hua Shunming had already sent someone over to urge them, and asked how the discussion was going?

Xu Zhiwen was silent until now, and finally spoke, "It's a pity that Lord Zhou is busy with his marriage at home, maybe he will have better ideas."

There are two Zhou Shangshu in the imperial court, and everyone can only use Hou Ye and adults to distinguish them.

"What does this have to do with the Ministry of War?" Niu Hai'an didn't know that Xu Zhiwen wanted to drag more people into the water.

Chen Zishu from the Ministry of Rites also said, "It's always bad if one of the six ministers is missing him.

We are here to discuss matters, and we cannot exclude him.

I heard that Gu Wenheng cooperated well with him in Lucheng before, maybe he will have a better idea. "

It was these two people who played around with the pawns he placed in Lucheng.

Even when I left, I didn't forget to put a dish, and brought people back.

Now Li Ji comes to see him every day, and wants to make himself fulfill the previous promise.

Heh, if it was in the past, he would have done it without hesitation, and it would definitely help Li Ji change a good position.

now what?He is a minister of the Ministry of Rites, so he can't stretch his arms that long.

Because he didn't help him solve it, the man almost stayed in the mansion with a face.

"Would you like Master Chen to inform you?" Yu Ligao didn't think it was a big deal when he saw the excitement, but he agreed, "I heard that a relative of Master Chen has also served as a general under Lord Zhou for many years, and this time, he deliberately brought him back to the capital. .

Thinking about this level of relationship, Mr. Chen is more talkative than us, maybe Zhou Houye would be willing to give this little face, let go of lifelong affairs, and come to the palace to discuss state affairs. "

Speaking of this, he shook his head tut-tut-tut, "Master Zhou is very old in order to guard the border. It was hard for him to marry a wife. I didn't expect everyone to be so inseparable from him that he even had to invite him in for vacation."

"..."

Zhou Shixiong, who was resting at home, was not as busy as they thought.

Married by decree, and there are no elders in the family, the queen sent several female officials to be busy in the Hou's mansion.

And he, the client, was leading people to hunt in the mountains.

Even if they knew that these people were plotting behind them, they would at most smile.

Hua Shunming saw that they did not discuss a charter, and directly ordered the Ministry of Accounts to allocate funds directly.

Zhou Shicong still wanted to struggle for a while, "My lord, Gu Wenheng was in Lucheng a few years ago, and he was able to revitalize Lucheng without asking for funding. Now, the situation in Yi Province is much better than that in Lucheng, can it be possible..."

"Master Zhou really does not hurt his back while standing and talking. If this matter is so easy, why don't Master Zhou take the credit." Niu Hai'an said coldly, "Does it mean that the officials sent abroad in the future will have to rely on themselves."

These words are not cruel, if Zhou Shicong dares to answer, then most of the court will be offended.

Zhou Shicong, "..."

Gaoling Village

After Li Cuicui saw off the last guest, she returned to the courtyard with Liu Liu's support.

"This matter has finally been settled. I have worked hard for you guys today. It is such a cold day that I let you run in and out."

Liu Liu, "Mother, why do the family say these things? You have been busy all day, why don't you take a rest first, and leave the rest to me."

Li Cuicui went back to the house and sat on the kang, feeling warmer at last, "It's a matter of my heart to decide on Chuncao's marriage.

From now on, it's fine for both her sisters to stay with Yuan Feng, but they are still mother and daughter, so let them do as they please. "

Liu Liu had already heard that the old lady was not feeling well, but she didn't know how to persuade her.

Said it was a happy event, but everyone was unhappy.

After comforting the old lady a few more words, Liu Liu followed the busy sister-in-law and left.

"What do you call this?" Wang Caiyue complained as soon as she left the old lady's yard.

"This mother and daughter married a father and son, which really ruined our family's reputation."

"Back then, Gu Yuanfeng shouldn't have brought people back. Now that it's done like this, I feel extremely ashamed when I go out these days."

Everyone complained one sentence at a time, and finally found an outlet for the breath they had been holding back these days.

In front of the old lady before, they dared not speak, for fear of irritating the old lady.

Now there are no outsiders, and few people have no worries.

Gu Yuanfeng took the two children over, saying that it was a marriage, but he didn't know what happened inside. He came back a few days ago and said that he married Li Chuncao to her stepson Shi Laicai.

When the old lady heard it, she fainted and frightened everyone.

I don't know what the mother and daughter said when they were locked up, but Li Cuicui gritted her teeth and recognized this relative.

In fact, they all have suspicions in their hearts, but they just don't want to explain the matter thoroughly.

Li Xiaohua, "It's better to find someone outside than Shi Laicai, I really don't know what our sister-in-law is thinking.

I suspect that their mother and daughter must have been plotted against by others. I don't see much joy on Chuncao's face. "

Liu Liu, "That's inevitable, a girl like Chuncao has a high spirit, how can she think of a farmer like Shi Laicai.

In fact, after all, I have to blame Yuanfeng, this person can't tell the difference between the inside and the outside, just looking at her expression, she seems very happy. "

Xie Ruyi, "This must be a joy, you think about being a daughter-in-law and being a daughter-in-law, it's just that we think it's easy to say or not.

Maybe he is proud of himself, holding the Shi family father and son firmly in his hands. "

"Can't you?"

Xie Ruyi also watched Gu Yuanfeng grow up, so she has some understanding of her nature, "She has always been selfish, when has she ever considered other people's thoughts?

You see, this time our family's reputation was trampled on, but she was the one who really benefited. "
