Chapter 36 [Almsgiving is the official seal of the household department]
During dinner, Qi Yu's hidden guards brought a few more brochures, so he had no choice but to put down the bowl and go to the study in a hurry.Wen Yanzhi was holding an almond cake, and seeing Qi Yu's back disappearing at the entrance of the flower hall, he felt a little melancholy.
Li Gengnian picked up a chicken leg, smiled and teased, "Mr. Wen, why don't you go with me?"
Wen Yanzhi stared blankly at the bag on Li Gengnian's head, "...No, Liu Shilang must have something important to attend to."
But if you say you don't want to follow, it's a lie.He and Qi Yu have been together day and night since they met each other. Even if they are on break, they just don't see each other for a day and a night. This time, they have been apart for more than half a month. Zhou Lin conspired against Qingzhou and Qingzhou instigated rebellion. It is expected that Qi Yu has experienced many things, but he has always been in the mountains. Tell him to really stand in front of Qi Yu and have a good chat, maybe he doesn't know what to say.
After dinner, Wen Yanzhi was brought by his servants to a small courtyard, which was not big but very quiet.He put down his plain linen cloth bag, asked someone to call for hot water, and finally lay down on the bed after taking a bath.After traveling for five days, I didn't feel tired before, but I just wanted to see the emperor, and mentioned that now I finally saw him, and my heart was relieved, and he fell asleep after touching the pillow.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, he felt someone pulling his hair.He vaguely opened his eyes, and vaguely felt that it was already dark. He saw a gauze lantern lit in the room. Qi Yu was leaning against the bed frame and sitting on a stool next to the bed, looking at him with deep eyes, and twirling his slender fingers unconsciously. When he saw that he was awake, he froze for a moment.
Wen Yanzhi was stunned: "My minister, I have seen the emperor... Come on."
"No courtesy." Qi Yu smiled: "You sleep, I just came to see you."
Wen Yanzhi just woke up, and was about to get up quickly, but was held down by Qi Yu: "Don't get up. It's three o'clock, and I will fall asleep later."
Wen Yanzhi's arm was pressed by him, his body became stiff for a moment, his heart pounded and he lay on the bed, looked at him for a while, although there were countless questions in his heart, but when it fell into his mouth, he said dryly: " Then, the emperor, go and rest."
Qi Yu tucked in the quilt for him, and looked at him with a smile: "You want me to leave that much?"
——Actually, I don’t want to.Wen Yanzhi swallowed his saliva.But if you say you don't want to at this moment, you don't know what will happen later...
Wen Yanzhi licked his lips and changed the topic: "What is the emperor's plan for tomorrow?"
Qi Yu raised the corners of his lips: "Tomorrow I'm going to beg for alms, so I just take you out to play."
Wen Yanzhi was dumbfounded: "What do you mean by turning into fate?" The emperor lived in the temple for a few days, and he became a monk.
Qi Yu said with a smile: "Almsgiving is the jargon of the Ministry of Household Affairs. To put it bluntly, it is to raise money. Your water control strategy looks simple, but do you know how much it will cost?"
Wen Yanzhi shook his head blankly.
Qi Yu said: "The layout of the ditches and the narrowing of the river will cost 300 million taels of silver, and it is estimated that it will cost more than 2000 million taels when the project is completed. The Nine Mansions are under the pressure of the severe drought in the northwest, and they can't get enough money. Although the virtuous king and University scholar Cai and his party have already raised a lot, but it is not enough."
Wen Yanzhi sighed, "Who else can I ask to raise so much money?"
Qi Yu smiled: "Have you heard of 'the richest man in the Northland'?"
Wen Yanzhi thought for a moment, "...Shen Youfang?"
I heard that Shen Youfang is a big boss who started from the salt industry and mining industry. He had no background before, but in just a few years, he has become the leading businessman in the Northland. He has many shops and amazing assets.
"Well, Shen Youfang is the one I want to meet tomorrow." Qi Yu looked down at Wen Yanzhi, "He's in Xuzhou right now, and we agreed to meet on the boat."
Wen Yanzhi nodded and stared at him, his eyes seemed to be full of words, but his face was very serious.
Qi Yu couldn't help stretching out his hand to pinch his cheek, "A few days in the mountains, okay?"
Wen Yanzhi's snow-white face was pinched pink, looking like a peach formed in midsummer, he shrank into the quilt, and asked: "Where is the emperor, he is in the army, okay?"
These words were like a trickle of warm water coming from Qi Yu's touch of Wen Yanzhi's fingertips, making him feel warm all over, and he only said: "What's wrong with it."
In fact, what good can there be in the army?Lying down under the stars at night, not being able to take a bath for several days, traveling hundreds of miles during the day, carrying a heart at all times, and even having trouble sleeping, but he has been used to it for many years, so he doesn't care about it.This time, it's the court's own people killing their own people again, and the heart is sour and desolate, how can it be an outsider's way?
He sighed softly, and raised his hand to stroke Wen Yanzhi's hair.
Wen Yanzhi's eyes looked at Qi Yu's thin black eyes, and his slightly thin face, he sniffed and said, "The emperor is troubled."
Qi Yu gave a fake sigh: "I'm tired. I read the book again tonight. My eyes are blurred now, and I can't walk very well. But what should I do?"
Wen Yanzhi swallowed his saliva, "I'm going to invite Li Shiwei to help the emperor go back to his room to rest." After saying that, he really wanted to get up.
Qi Yu pressed him down: "Li Shiwei is asleep." This idiot, he didn't think of Li Shiwei when he complained in the afternoon, but now he thinks about it again.
Wen Yanzhi said solemnly: "The emperor is still asleep. As a guard in the palace, how can Guard Li sleep? My minister goes and wakes him up." After finishing speaking, he struggled to get up again.
This time Qi Yu simply got up and went to bed, pressed Wen Yanzhi under his body, and looked at him with a smile: "It's fine if I sleep here."
Wen Yanzhi was stiff, and looked at Qi Yu who was close at hand with wide eyes: "Your Majesty... absolutely not."
"No, what?" Qi Yu turned sideways, put his right hand around Wen Yanzhi's waist with a smirk, and supported his head with his left hand.Come on, let me hear what you idiot want to call that thing.
Wen Yanzhi slowly moved in: "The emperor has a body of ten thousand gold, don't...don't jostle with humble ministers."
——Oh, it turned out that the idiot called that thing "squeezing".
Qi Yu trapped him with one hand casually, looked around the bed, about four or five people could sleep, "I don't think it's crowded."
Wen Yanzhi choked up his breath, and said again: "Actually, my minister, when he sleeps and dreams, he can beat people."
Qi Yu smiled: "Anyway, I probably can't beat me."
Wen Yanzhi was choked again, and said again: "This minister can still talk in sleep, for fear of disturbing the emperor, Long An."
After hearing this, Qi Yu was very satisfied: "Then Zhen and Yanzhi, just don't sleep tonight."
Wen Yanzhi: "...!" What does it mean not to sleep!
Qi Yu turned his head and kissed him on the lips, "It seems that Yan Zhi is very hopeful."
Wen Yanzhi: "...?" The minister's expression seemed to be hopeful?
Seeing his stunned expression, Qi Yu suppressed a smile and hugged him into his arms, and patted him twice, "Forget it, although Yanzhi is impatient, I don't want to suffer from Yanzhi's exhaustion. The future will be long, Let's find an auspicious time in the future. Go to sleep."
——What do you mean although I am impatient?
——What is finding an auspicious time?
——Your Majesty, I really do not understand what you are talking about.
At the beginning of the morning glow, Gong Zhiyuan had a good night's sleep, he packed up and went to the small courtyard to find Wen Yanzhi, and as soon as he reached the corner of the stone steps, he saw Wen Yanzhi coming out of the small courtyard.He was about to raise his hand to greet Wen Yanzhi, but he saw a tall and handsome man coming out from behind, it was Qi Yu.
Gong Zhiyuan was shocked: Liu, waiter, Lang? !
——Why did Liu Shilang come out of Brother Wen's room early in the morning?Could it be that last night...
They discussed the matter of flood control all night? !
Ah, as expected of Brother Wen, he is indeed the pillar of the future imperial court!
Gong Zhiyuan raised his hand movedly to beckon, and ran over with tears in his eyes: "Brother Wen! Liu Shilang!"
That party Qi Yu followed out and was about to take Wen Yanzhi to eat, but after hearing the roar, he had no choice but to retract his half-stretched hand, and immediately felt a little black wind.
Wen Yanzhi turned around and smiled: "Brother Gong, you got up early. Let's have breakfast together?"
Being able to eat with the pillars of the court, Gong Zhiyuan was very excited: "Okay, what to eat? I heard that Xuzhou's pancakes are delicious."
Qi Yu felt that familiar mouthful of blood choked in his throat again.
——Who wants to eat pancakes with you?Who made you promise?
"Everyone is up!" Li Gengnian came out from the other side, and greeted the three of them: "I just heard you talking about eating pancakes? Where are you going to eat them?"
Qi Yu turned to stare at Li Gengnian again.
—Where did you get out of?What does it have to do with you?
I just want to have a meal with the idiot alone.
Why is it so difficult.
In the end, the four of them walked out of the house together.Qi Yu had a bright smile on his face, Wen Yanzhi followed behind blankly, but Li Gengnian was very relieved, feeling that yesterday's temptation to Mr. good.
"Mr. Wen," Li Geng asked in a young voice, "Do you need it? I'll help you buy some... Quyu Powder? Gold sore medicine?"
Wen Yanzhi was stunned and said, "Why did Li Shiwei help me buy blood stasis dispelling powder and golden sore medicine? I'm not injured."
Li Gengnian narrowed his eyes: "...you, last night, were you injured?"
Wen Yanzhi shook his head: "No."
——You didn’t, so could it be…
Li Gengnian's frightened eyes suddenly cast on Qi Yu's back.
——Could it be that the emperor, unexpectedly, was given by Wen Yuanwai...
Li Gengnian covered his heart in grief.
At this time, just as he was walking to the tea house at the entrance of the street, Qi Yu happened to turn around and said, "Li Gengnian, I want to drink something hot, so go and buy some hot tea."
Li Gengnian said with tears in his eyes, "Okay, let's go!"
——Your Majesty, I will buy as much hot tea as you want, my lord.It is best to add some brown sugar wolfberry, which can make up a little bit, a little bit.
Li Gengnian was about to walk into the tea house in front, but the four of them heard a commotion from the terrace on the second floor of the tea house. Although they couldn't see anyone, they heard a series of sounds of porcelain being smashed, and a woman scolded: "You ruined it." I have a marriage, so let’s just forget about it! Who do you think I am, Yun Wuyan, and what face do I have to stay in Xuzhou from now on!"
I don't know what the other party said, but the woman spoke softly, and after listening to it, the woman shouted angrily: "Then why didn't you say it when you proposed marriage!" Then a flower pot flew out from the second floor!
Qi Yu subconsciously retreated a few steps to pull Wen Yanzhi away, and Li Gengnian pushed away Gong Zhiyuan who was in a daze.The flowerpot fell to the ground and shattered, but there was another sound of fighting upstairs. The next moment, a snow-white figure was pushed out of the railing and fell straight down!
Li Gengnian raised his head in shock, and found that the white shadow seemed to be hitting him directly.
