Luo nine needles

Chapter 63

Concubine Liu didn't know whether it was a compliment or a derogation.

Uncle Li Guo said with a smile: "Liu Concubine is trying to do something in his position. Next time I see your father, I have to say a few words about him. My son will compare him to this old man."

Is this a boast?No one has praised him before, and Concubine Liu doesn't know what to say.

"Okay, you guys go down first." The emperor said, pointing to the back, "Don't go in a hurry, go back after dinner."

Uncle Li Guo saluted, and he did not forget to give Liu Concubine a hug, and Liu Concubine hurriedly saluted, and the two retreated.

As soon as he came out, Concubine Liu hurriedly asked: "Lord Li, I didn't upset His Majesty, did I?"

Uncle Li Guo looked at him and said, "You have done meritorious service."

achievement?Concubine Liu was not happy, but was at a loss: "What have I done?"

Uncle Li Guo laughed: "What does Your Majesty lack the most and what does he like the most? Don't you know it at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"

Concubine Liu seemed to understand but didn't understand: "Money."

The emperor is always short of money, and the emperor likes the treasury to be full.

"The Momen is really rich?" Uncle Li Guo asked curiously, "How do you know?"

Concubine Liu nodded again and again: "I'm really rich, I didn't know it at first, and you also know, Mr. Li, that I've always been idle and like to hunt for novelties."

When he said this, he looked around and saw that there was no eunuch following him, so he lowered his voice.

"After the king of Jin recruited Momen to rebel, I went to Jin because of curiosity, and heard a lot of unofficial rumors there."

"For example, when casting the artifact, the money needed was not paid by the King of Jin, but a cartload of money from Momen. It was spent like splashing water, and a cast iron pool was erected in a short period of time."

Hearing this, Uncle Li Guo smiled with shock on his face.

What shocked me was not Motu's scene.

"You boy," he said with a glare, "you are so brave!"

King Jin's rebellion is forbidden by the royal family, and no discussion is allowed. This Liu Xiaolang even went to Jindi to watch the excitement out of curiosity.

"You don't need to tell your Majesty or anyone else about this." Uncle Li urged Liu Concubine, "Remember, you are working in the household department, caring about the treasury and people's livelihood, and worrying about money and food, so you came up with this idea."

Concubine Liu said: "I know, I won't say anything."

He was just timid, not stupid, and immediately thanked Uncle Li Guo.

Uncle Li Guo laughed and pulled him up. He wanted to make good friends with the two princesses, so as to help the empress stabilize the middle palace. Although His Majesty is not greedy for women, he doesn't mind that the harem is full. In just two years, there are already many concubines. I don't know how much it will be.

"But." Concubine Liu said in a low voice, "Lord Li, do you want to know what kind of cast iron pool Momen built?"

Uncle Li Guo shook his sleeves angrily and left first, "I don't want to know."

The two walked towards the back garden one by one, the imperial city in winter was a bit solemn, and the laughter of women and children came from the back garden from time to time, adding a bit of agility.

"How is it?"

"Hey, the heights are staggered, the furnace is like stars hanging high above, and the pool is like rivers and lakes below."

"Have you seen it with your own eyes?"

"It hasn't been a long time ago. I heard the description from the local people, but this cast iron pool not only looks gorgeous, but also scarier is that it can move."

"What a lie!"

"Really, some people have seen it with their own eyes. When the rebellion is fighting, the stars will fall that day, the rivers and lakes on the ground will move, and countless people will be swallowed in it-it is said that the prince died in this way, no matter how many personal guards There is nothing to do like a mud cow entering the sea.”

When the two relatives of the emperor were whispering and lying in private, the imperial study fell into silence, and the emperor looked at the chessboard and thought for a moment.

"You want to go out of Beijing to check Momen because of money?" he asked.

Huo Lian shook her head: "I don't know about this, it's just that there have been reports from various places recently that hidden Mo disciples occasionally make trouble. I don't know what they want to do, so I want to take a look."

The emperor shook his chess piece and nodded: "King Jin and those officials have ransacked their homes. These Mohists, I let them go as if they were homeless and propertyless. It seems negligent. Their homes should also be ransacked."

Home raids are a great way to fill the treasury.

When he first ascended the throne, the household department came to cry for poverty every day, and he was not willing to make a fuss when he married the queen. After three or four years of ransacking the house in the name of tracking down the remnants of the king of Jin, not only did the court gradually become what he wanted, but the household department also changed to He only cries once in half a year and is poor. As an emperor, he can still choose a few concubines with dignity.

Next, we need to enjoy the flowers in spring, escape the heat in summer and hunt in autumn.

When he became the emperor, he couldn't be more miserable than when he was the sixth prince who was ignored.

The emperor looked at Huo Lian.

"Since Mo Tu is still alive and Mo Sect is still there, let's go and steal their home."

Huo Lian leaned over and responded: "The minister accepts the order."

Duchasili was a little busy because of this decree.

Two personal guards brought Huo Lian's knife.

Huo Lian reached out to take it, and called Zhu Chuan again.

Without waiting for his order, Zhu Chuan had already agreed, and stepped forward holding the six-foot sword.

"Captain, I'll take it." He said, "Since you're going to catch the thief, of course you have to bring evidence."

Huo Lian smiled, the smile flashed by, and the calmness returned to her face.

"Go." He said, got on his horse, and walked forward.

Zhu Chuan responded loudly, and followed closely behind.

However, unlike in the past, there was no horse hooves outside the Duchasi, and the soldiers and guards were like clouds, but the cloaks covered the body, the hats covered the face, and the horses walked lightly, like a flash of lightning, rushing out of the city, and the people on the street did not even See who it is.

The people don't know, but Huo Lian's inner house has to be known.

"Has the governor gone out?"

In the inner house, Liang Siwan, who seemed to have just woken up and opened the door, looked at the maidservant who came to tell her, and asked with a slightly surprised expression.

"Did you say when you'll be back?"

The maid shook her head: "I don't know."

That's right, how would a maid know Huo Dudu's whereabouts.

Liang Siwan nodded: "I see, you go down." She said again, "Since the governor is not at home, I will rest, don't bother me."

The servant girl bowed her head and stepped back.

Liang Siwan closed the door, feeling the silence around her.

This is Duchasi, and it is also Huo Lian's home. Without Huo Lian, there is no one at home.

"He, didn't he tell you when he went out?"

A soft voice suddenly sounded from behind, with suppressed anger in the voice.

Liang Siwan turned around and looked at the man who came out from behind the curtain.

It was Liang Liuzi who was almost hacked to death by Huo Lian on the street that day.

Liang Siwan looked at him and laughed.

"Sixth brother, what are you talking about? Why did he tell me when he went out?"

"Huo Dudu just needs to tell the emperor when he goes out."

Liang Liuzi looked at her, she smiled briskly, with a casual expression, just like she was amused by the jokes of her foster brothers at home.

Nothing seems to have changed.

But the content of the talk is no longer those delicious and fun trifles of life.

Their identities were no longer brothers and sisters. If he had to talk about it, he would either call Huo Lian his brother-in-law or Liang Siwan his younger brother and sister.

But either way, it's disgusting.

Liang Liuzi clenched his hand hanging by his side: "It's not that he treats you as a treasure, and when he returns to Beijing, he doesn't go to see His Majesty first, but to see you."

How could such a cherished person go out without saying goodbye?
Even common people's husbands have to say goodbye to their wives when they go far away.

Are these all fake?
