When tragedies were staged everywhere, Lu Pei's family sang every night.

He has a fief and a salary, and he doesn't scatter money like Lu Li. Coupled with the profits he shared in Runze hall some time ago, even if the ice disaster really lasts for a year, he won't delay eating, drinking and having fun.

Several courtiers who made friends with Li Rusu could not help pointing out what the seventh palace had done. The Imperial Palace began to spend money frugally. It's really unreasonable for a palace to eat fish and meat all day and sing all night at this special time.

That day, Li Rushu passed by the gate of the seventh Prince's house and saw a carriage carrying waste come out of the house. There were several buckets on the carriage, which were filled with all kinds of leftover food. Although it was frozen, he could still see the appearance of chicken, duck and fish.

Every other day, there was a carriage to transport waste outside the palace. Li Rusu stopped the people and saw how extravagant life was in the house.

After returning to the palace, she revised the number of silver in the lower house of internal affairs, reducing the silver in the seventh house by half.

Wang Guiquan was a little embarrassed. Facing the booklet changed by Li Rushu, he said: "Madam Li, this is not only the seventh Prince's house, but also the eldest prince's house and the second and third prince's house. You only changed the cost of the seventh Prince's house. I'm afraid the seventh Prince won't accept it."

Although Lu Pei's official position is not high, he is the prince after all. If he competes with him, the head of the interior government, he really can't stand it, but he doesn't dare to contradict Li Rushu, so he is full of embarrassment.

Li Rusu gave a meaningless hum and explained: "except for the seventh Prince's residence, all the other princes have handed in grain to the porridge shed. Besides, the seventh Prince lives alone in the residence and has no family members, so the expenses are naturally small. He is treated specially under special circumstances. As a prince, he naturally wants to share happiness and hardship with the people. If he comes to ask you, You just let him come to me. "

With these words, Wang Guiquan's face looked much better. He bent down and said with a smile: "female official Li has a detached position in the palace. Naturally, she will cover us."

Li Rushu didn't talk to him, so he took away the recent expense account book of the seventh Prince's house and asked him to implement a new policy from this month. Thinking that he hadn't walked outside the city today, he went out of the palace early to understand the people's feelings.

On the tenth day of the lunar new year, the palace began to issue regular silver, and Lu Pei soon found it.

At that time, Li Rusu was checking the accounts at home. Lu Li went out of the city to inspect the porridge tent. He directly entered the study and threw a booklet in front of her.

Li Rusu looked down and saw that it was his strategy just decided in the house of interior. It seemed that he had come back from Wang Guiquan.

"Li Rujing, what do you mean?" Lu Pei has rarely had a face-to-face fight with them since he tore his face. When he met them again this time, his eyes were burning with anger and his whole body was filled with anger.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Li Rushu's face was light and he was not afraid of his momentum, but sitting so quietly seemed more powerful than the other party's momentum.

"Why did you subtract the king's silver?"

Lu Pei's face turned red, pointed to Li Rusu and asked loudly, "how much money is spent every month in the palace? It's a rule left by the ancestors. It's to maintain the face of the Royal descendants. Now you've lost half of your life. What's the difference between this king and those people?"

He was angry, but Li Rusu was angry and laughed.

"Compared with the people?" Li Rushu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "do you know what life the people outside the city live? Now they are forced to sell their children and women. In order to get free porridge once a day, they line up outside in the cold wind early. Your family is good, singing and singing, drinking and meat, and the waste in the kitchen is pulled out by car. Don't you have a bad conscience compared with them? "

Li Rusu said more and more, and finally her face turned red. She got up, pulled the booklet to the ground, and threw out an account book on her desk.

Lu Pei was very angry, but he looked down at the account book and his face relaxed a lot.

At a glance, he saw that it was the detailed account book of his family, and the font size of the seven kings' house at the top was very large.

"You... Where did you get it?"

However, Lu Pei calmed down after he was angry. The accounts of the palace were sent to the warehouse of the interior government every month. There was a special accountant in charge. Although Li Rusu was the first female official, he was mostly responsible for the women's family members in the palace, and his hand could not reach the palace.

Thinking like this, Lu Pei raised some sharp eyes.

"Don't worry about this."

Li Rusu sneered, pointed to the above figures and said, "last month, the seventh Prince's mansion brought in ten little goats, two little suckling pigs, 20 pieces of fat pork, hundreds of live fish, 50 kilograms of chicken, duck and goose, two baskets of vegetables and fruits, 280 taels of silver for head fat powder sesame oil candles, 500 taels of silver for repair offensive, and thousands of taels of newly bought singers... I won't point out them one by one, These things can be used by the people of the whole village for two or three years, and your palace will waste them in a month. Don't you think it's too much? "

Looking at a long list of figures, Lu Pei was anxious. He reached out and grabbed the posting book, tore it hard, and said, "no matter how much you say, these have nothing to do with you. The king has no corruption. If you have the ability, go and tell your father. Anyway, the king spends legitimate silver."

Li Ru gave him a crisp white look and said faintly, "Lord, don't show your teeth. I know these are yours. Your regular silver plus the silver distributed in Runze hall in the past is enough to deal with these expenses, but don't forget when it is."

"So what? God is going to have an ice disaster. Ben tightened his belt. Will the ice disaster be gone? " Lu Pei disdained and said, "it's no use pulling these things. Isn't it that the king has offended you? Have you come for public and private revenge?"

"Public revenge for private revenge?"

Li Rushu chewed two words and understood in his heart that no matter how much he said, the other party couldn't listen. He simply said, "the Lord must think so. Let's do it. I'll just buckle your silver. If I'm not convinced, I'll go to the emperor to see whether the emperor is facing you, a son who only knows how to waste all day, or me?"

Later, the unhappiness accumulated in her heart disappeared. Looking at the other party's angry appearance, her eyes showed some happiness.

He really pissed me off.

Unexpectedly, the look in Lu Pei's eyes turned red. Naked provocation, he opened his eyes and punched Li Rusu on the head.

"Do it?"

Li Rushu was also angry. The anger in her chest broke out. She didn't avoid it for a moment. She felt a pain in her head. She simply didn't hide back, but picked up her chair on the spot and swung it at the other party.

"Lu Pei! I'm not easy to mess with Li Rujing! "
