Chapter 872
The Emperor's Grandson who pees in the Imperial Study Room
The Empress Dowager's people were smiling and had their own thoughts in their hearts. The four adults who came to look for the emperor in the imperial study were also complicated. The emperor actually hugged the little emperor grandson to handle government affairs. When they were talking about government affairs, the little emperor grandson stared at them curiously with their eyes and laughed at them from time to time.
The little doll's smile was innocent and pure. Even the adults were full of anger and now the tone of their speech became a little gentler.
Lord Gu took the lead in talking about the triumphant victory of the army in Japan. Although the emperor did not like the general at this moment, he had to give enough pomp and welcomed it himself to show his importance.
Lord Lei from the Ministry of War and Lord Qin from the Ministry of Revenue were talking about rewarding the three armies. He heard that in order to prevent the mutton from getting worse, he had to send live sheep into the military camp directly. At this time, Xiao Xiurui laughed out loud. In his eyes, he could not hear what these adults were saying, but the beard on Lord Lei's mouth that was up and down as he spoke was very interesting.
The emperor adjusted his position, put his little head on his arms and his little face leaning against his heart, "Grandfather wants to talk to the adults, will Xiu Rui sleep for a while?"
The answer was Xiao Xiurui's giggle, but after laughing, he opened his mouth and yawned. As he had been going to bed, he had just felt fresh today and had been holding on for so long. When the little baby sleeps, he just slept. He just slept. In just a while, only the little nose was left breathing gently.
Lord Gu was very interested, "The little emperor and grandson are so cute, they look very similar to the emperor. The heaven is full of pavilions, with a radiant pavilion hanging like a gallbladder like a star. At first glance, they are the fate of wealthy princes, princes, generals and ministers."
Lord Lei glanced at Lord Gu and immediately understood it. "What Lord Gu said is that the little emperor's eyes are so vivid after only a hundred days of life, and he is also very energetic when dancing. Although the old minister can't see people's faces, he also thinks that the little emperor's faces are extraordinary."
Lord Qin secretly complained that the two of them were flatterers. The little prince was born as a prince. Even if he did nothing in his life, he would naturally become a prince. But he was a prince, a prince, a general, and a minister. If they wanted to say it?
My heart was full of smiles, "The old minister doesn't know how to look at the face, but I think the little emperor and grandson look like the emperor. Just this is a blessing."
Master Wei from the Ministry of Works felt that everyone was flattering him and he didn't look so kind, so he spoke happily, "The three adults all said what Wei Chen said in the hearts of Wei Chen. Wei Chen's father kept praising him when he came home last time, and he wanted to take the young emperor back to his house to raise him."
The emperor laughed out loud and looked at Xiao Xiurui who was already asleep carefully. He felt that the little look looked like him no matter how he looked. He expressed his comfort in the flattery of the three adults, and at the same time decided to take care of his grandson more in the future.
He saw the other grandsons very little. How could he play with his grandson even if he didn't kiss him?
Although we can't blame the young grandchildren, we know that as long as he gets closer to his grandchildren, he doesn't have that much energy, so it's better to just "do" this good grandson who doesn't know anything. Anyway, good grandsons don't care about him.
Xiao Xiurui, who was completely worried about by his grandfather, was sleeping soundly. Only the nanny outside was a little anxious. The little prince should pee, but she didn't dare to tell the emperor that she was worried.
The time of happiness is always short, and the adults did not forget the purpose of coming. They all talked about their difficulties, such as moving the people, and those who entertained envoys, and the soldiers also needed pensions. All the problems added up were actually a problem--no money!
When the emperor heard the word "money" and his mood disappeared, the emperor's mood disappeared. The clerk encouraged the bastard to say that he had no money in the letter and was hungry everywhere. He was very confident in writing a letter and scolding him. Turning back, the bastard almost started fighting because he had no money.
"The autumn grain has not arrived yet?"
Lord Qin bowed, "The autumn taxes in various places will take some time to arrive. This far water cannot quench the near thirst. The few things currently need to be allocated immediately."
"This year, new soldiers have been recruited everywhere, and veterans have retired, and military pay has been increased. In addition, this time, the funds for rewarding the three armies and pensions for the soldiers, and the reconstruction of Chaoyang City are not much left. "
"This has not yet mentioned the money for the expansion of the capital."
Lord Qin talked about the difficulties in front of everyone, "The attack on Beixiang is huge. Although it was to conquer half of Beixiang, Beixiang became Beixiangzhou, and the generals did not dare to plunder it. Except for the treasury sent back by the general to the emperor, there was no money for the treasury."
"The battle of Huya Pass is even more expensive. I heard that there are some treasures in the Eagle Domain Imperial City, but no one dares to get involved in that place now, and there is no money left."
To put it bluntly, after fighting for so long, besides adding new land and people, I have not seen any profit. Tomorrow, the army will have to reward merits and do not promote it. When I think of this, Lord Qin's hair turned two whiter again.
The emperor felt his head buzzing. He had always felt that he was rich and suddenly realized that he was so poor.
How could he show off his power in front of the general? How could he throw the Zhezi on the general without mercy? How could he scold him with great anger?
If he was afraid, he agreed and asked him to build a warship for hundreds of thousands of taels, what would he give?
I shot myself in the foot, and the instep hurts so much!
"The Ministry of Commerce has not allocated silver?"
Lord Qin smiled bitterly, "The Ministry of Commerce has allocated several times this year, but it is not easy for the Ministry of Commerce. King Annan is busy at the Ministry of Commerce almost every day and tries his best to make money. If the Ministry of Revenue does not ask for money all day, the Ministry of Commerce will be really rich now."
This is a conscience, "If the emperor had not decided to add a Ministry of Commerce, if King Annan had outstanding business skills, he would have to increase taxes."
Increase taxes to the people is tantamount to killing chickens to keep warm. The emperor is unwilling to take this step unless he has to.
Xiao Xiurui, who was sleeping in his arms, suddenly cried twice. The emperor felt the legs heat up. He immediately hugged Xiao Xiurui and turned sideways, and pulled off his diapers. Then there was a clattering sound. The valuable carpet in the imperial study room was soaked by the boy's urine.
After urinating, Xiao Xiurui felt relieved. He didn't even open his eyes and continued to sleep. The emperor looked carefully and his pants were not wet. After he wanted to continue holding them, the eunuch thoughtfully brought a small bed with a mat inside. The emperor was happy, "This is the small bed I used when I was young, and this kid is cheap."
Xiao Xiurui was a little dissatisfied when he fell asleep. He frowned and wanted to make trouble. The emperor gently shook the small bed. Xiao Xiurui quickly stretched down again and fell asleep with peace of mind.
Lord Gu sighed, "The little emperor grandson is really big in urinating. The old saying goes, a boy brings money to pee. I don't know if the little emperor grandson will bring some wealth to the treasury after peeing."
I am really poor and I am a little evil, hoping that a soak of boy urine will bring wealth.
But the surprise arrived soon.
