Chapter 281 The minister is terrified, how dare the minister play tricks on His Highness?
Ye Li was anxious and hopeful, but Qian Jin came late.

"I see Your Highness! There are too many things to do, and I can't get away. It is my fault for keeping Your Highness waiting for a long time. Please forgive me!"

His attitude was so sincere that Ye Liyou couldn't vent his anger.

He raised his hand impatiently: "Get up. Qian Jin, this king is looking for you for disaster relief in Jingcheng."

Qian Jin immediately smiled with admiration: "I have heard about this matter. Your Highness has been thinking of sharing the worries of the emperor and solving problems for the people at a young age. Gao Fengliang is a good example for you. I wish your Highness a smooth trip. , I believe that with His Highness in charge of the overall situation, the people of Jingcheng will definitely get out of trouble as soon as possible!"

Ye Liyou never thought that his mouth could speak so well, but it is undeniable that this flattery made him very comfortable.

"How did Qian Shangshu pick up such beautiful words?" Ye Liyou put his hands on the armrests of the chair, contentedly.

Qian Jin's small eyes were full of sincerity: "Your Highness, this is not a flattering word, but a sincere admiration. As for how to do it, just one sentence, just tell the truth."

Ye Liyou laughed out loud, this remark really won his heart!

"Okay, let's stop talking nonsense. Ling Lie said that the money for the disaster relief came to you. Do you know about this?"

"I know, Prime Minister Ling has already told the minister."

"Then get someone to bring the money over now. The queen will set off tomorrow, and there will be a lot of supplies to buy tomorrow."

Qian Jin took out a stack of bank notes from his sleeve, and respectfully put them on the case: "Your Highness, don't lift them, I have already brought them."

"Bring it?"

Ye Liyou's eyes were confused, "You can't just do that, can you?"

Qian Jin was inexplicably surprised: "Your Highness, this is a lot, a full 5 taels!"

Looking at his serious eyes, Ye Liyou had the illusion that it was not 5 taels, but 500 million taels.

Picking up the bank note and counting it, it was indeed 5 taels.

Immediately angry: "Qian Jin, are you playing tricks on me?"

Qian Jin immediately knelt down: "I am terrified, how dare I play Your Highness?"

Ye Liyou threw the banknotes on his body, and the snowflakes fell to the ground one after another, as if mocking him.

His fingers trembled: "Hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, you give me 5 taels, how dare you say that you are not playing me?"

Qian Jin let out a long sigh, his brows and eyes were full of worry.

"Your Highness, this year's harvest is not good, and the tax money collected from various places is one-third less than in previous years. Some time ago, there were pests and earthquakes, and the household department is running out, so the 5 taels are still scraped together. of."

The huge household department even has to raise a mere 5 taels. Does this mean that he is being treated as an ignorant child?
Raising a cup and throwing it hard in front of him, Qian Jin didn't change his face, kneeling extremely respectfully.

"Your Highness, calm down!"

Ye Liyou rushed in front of him, and said word by word: "How can I appease my anger? Qian Jin, this is the first time this king has taken over such a major event. Do you have to make things difficult for me?"

Qian Jin quickly kowtowed, very audible.

"Your Highness, I am afraid! Your loyalty to Your Highness can be learned from the sun and the moon, and the sky can prove it"

At this moment, Ye Liyou felt that his loyalty was like this casual flattery, which passed without a trace and left behind a bad smell to disgust him!

With a cold snort, he looked at him maliciously.

"Qian Jin, the jade wrench in your hand is worth a lot, right? The household department has no money, but you are so extravagant. Are you filling your own pockets?"

Qian Jin unhurriedly took off the jade ring finger: "Your Highness, this is really worthless. If His Highness thinks it is worth a lot and you are willing to donate it, then you should do your part for the people of Jingcheng! There is a jade pendant!"

After the jade pendant, Qian Jin also took off the gold bracelet on his wrist. If Ye Liyou didn't stop him, he could even pick off the jade on his belt
Looking at the scattered piles on the desk, Ye Liyou was really speechless, and his heart was even more blocked.

Qian Jin felt very happy in his heart.Fortunately, I kept an eye out and changed into cheap ones before going out.

Another long sigh, deep sadness and loneliness in this sigh.

"Your Highness said just now that the minister is full of private pockets. This minister is really chilling. Even though the minister's loyalty can be shown to the sun and the moon, he cannot be trusted by His Highness. If His Royal Highness doubts, you can ask an imperial decree to go to the Ministry of Accounts to check the accounts. The minister will never complain! "

Ye Liyou narrowed his eyes slightly, and stared at him with a fat face through gritted teeth, "You're determined to make life difficult for me!"

"I'm terrified!" There was another sound.

"Qian Jin, don't toast and refuse to eat fine wine, you will end badly if you offend me!" Ye Liyou was already furious, and when he came to power, the first thing to do would be to take him to death!

"I dare not!"

One bite at a time, "The minister is terrified", "The minister dare not", and everything he does is to make him angry.

Ye Li was worried and irritable, and told him to get out.

Qian Jin slowly rolled out of the palace, what's the use of being brave and ruthless?Some people will eat this kind of boring loss in the future!
Ye Liyou had no choice but to pick up the 5 taels of silver note, but finally couldn't swallow this breath, and entered the palace again.

Hibiscus Hall.

The emperor leaned on the reclining chair and watched Concubine Ning make tea intently.

Ye Shijing was also there, but he didn't practice calligraphy this time.

The pen, ink, paper and inkstone have all been dropped, and they will not be touched in the short term.

The cold wind blows outside, and the hall is warm as spring.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Highness, please see me." Qing Xing, the maidservant of the palace, interrupted the warmth.

This was expected by the emperor, "Let him in."

Ye Shijing wasn't too surprised, but it was slower than expected, presumably Qian Jin was delaying it.

Ye Liyou tightened her clothes outside the hall, took a deep breath, and walked in slowly.

"My sons and ministers see father, imperial concubine Ning and empress."

The emperor raised his hand and took the tea from Concubine Ning Gui.

Smell it, the fragrance is pleasant.

Take a sip, refreshing.

"I'm going to Jingcheng the day after tomorrow, why are you still free?" The emperor glanced at Ye Liyou lightly, then looked away, and landed on the ups and downs of tea in the cup.

Ye Liyou said respectfully: "Royal father, Minister of the Household Department Qian Jin deliberately made things difficult for my ministers, so I ask you to be the master."

"Qian Jin? He dares to make things difficult for you?" The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched, "Let's just talk about it."

Ye Liyou drooped her head, extremely wronged.

"Father, my son asked him for relief money, but he only gave 5 taels. If he asked for more, he started to cry poorly. Father, how could 5 taels be enough for the 10 taels of disaster victims? He clearly I just want to embarrass my son!"

The emperor put down his cup, looking displeased.

"Why did he make a fool of you?"

Ye Li looked at Ye Shijing resentfully: "Qian Jin belongs to the third brother, and he deliberately tripped up his ministers just to please the master!"

Ye Shijing's eyes were calm, and he slowly raised the hem of his clothes and knelt down: "Father, the fourth brother is purely fabricated out of nothing. My son behaves upright and sits upright. How could he instruct Qian Jin to make things difficult for him when the people of Jingcheng are in dire straits? Please father Huang Mingcha!"

The emperor motioned him to stand up.

"Liyou, don't make false statements. Although 5 taels is not much, but there are too many natural disasters this year, it seems to be the limit of the household department. Besides, Qian Jin has been the secretary of the household department for many years, and he acts very well. It is impossible for him to be here Make things difficult for you."

"Father, that old guy Qian Jin is just an old fox. His salary is only so much, and he donated jade fingers, gold bracelets, and jade pendants without blinking. He must be greedy for a lot of people's fat to be so willing!"
