Chapter 12: Dragon boat

The eight years of Xiande coincided with midsummer.
The head of the Ministry of Households Wang Xian's collar shirt was soaked with sweat. He was sitting on a chair like a needle felt, and once more, he lifted the black hat to wipe the sweat.
"Mr. Xiao," Wang Xian murmured, "No, it's not that the Ministry of Households will not give you money, but at the moment the Treasury and Banking expenses have not yet been calculated, and Grandpa Pan doesn't approve the red, we really can't do it!"
"Accounting takes time." Xiao Chiye took a few sips of tea, "Isn't I waiting? Don't worry."
Wang Xian slipped between his throat, watching the calm Xiao Xiaoye and the motionless embargo under the outer porch.
"Sir." Wang Xian almost begged. "It's hot, and it's uncomfortable for the sergeants to stand outside. I invite you to drink some cold drinks and reserve ice--"
"No power is not allowed," Xiao Chi said with a smile on his face. "Our embargo is thick-skinned and hard-working. What's so important about standing for a few hours? Adults don't care and concentrate on accounting."
Wang Xian was holding the account book, and he couldn't get down.
Today the spring, the emperor is seriously ill. For this matter, the queen mother asked people to build civil works in the palace and build a brahma to add blessings to the emperor. The Ministry of Industry had an errand, had to welcome timber from Duanzhou, and in order to save money, he called the embargo to carry it. The embargo brought timber to Batu, and the queen mother withdrew her plan to build a temple because of the old harpoon. The Hubu lacked the money on hand, dragged the embargo for two months, and didn't pay the knot.
There is not much money. When the treasury is full, this is not a problem. Who wants to offend Xiao Ergong for this money? But the Ministry of Households is also suffering. Last year's Queen Mother's birthday, she spent nearly one million on the banquet and the reward of gold and silver.
Wang Xian paused and said, "Sir, this money can't be produced right now. Let me tell you something. According to today's account, the expenditure at the end of the year is not in line with the budget. Come down. There is really no money. You gave me Wang Shoucheng today, and I ca n’t help it! "
"The military camps of the Eighth Battalion are not wrong, and we banned the army, just to die and have no money to live on. They are all for the emperor's business. It's deserving of me, Xiao Ce'an, I have to hold this account and wait for your turnover." Xiao Chiye "Dangdang" threw tea cups on the table, "The Ministry of Households cries poorly every year, but what does this have to do with me? Collecting money and power, white paper and black letters. When we're done, the silver will be tied. Don't talk to me about anything else, then It ’s not my responsibility. If the problems with the Ministry of Households depend on others' understanding, what else do you do? Make room for others as soon as possible. "
Wang Xian told him to be sturdy, and stood up and said, "Since the emperor has been erected, why is the adult forced to be so tight! Who is rich who is unwilling to tie it? The embargo really has the ability, what the hard work, and the eight camps! Who dare not give money! "
Seeing the bad atmosphere between the two parties, he was lifting his robes into a man.
"Why is Mr. Wang angry? The second son is also a quick man." He took off his sun hat [1], wiped his hands with a papa, and said, "Xue Xiuzhuo gave the matter to the family department, just for this account."
The Family Superintendent gave this post only seven grades, which is reasonably not even an official in Badu. However, it is special. It can not only monitor the progress of the missions of various ministries and gates, but also participate in the evaluation of Baiguande's administrative performance every six years in Duduchali. It can also open six directly to the emperor.
Wang Xian could not afford to guilty, and swallowed down the with patience, saying, "How dare you get angry? The forbidden army has put out a lot of force. I don't want Master Xiao to do it for free. But Yanqing, you have to look at this account, and the department can't dial it out. "
Xue Xiuzhuo extended his character to Yanqing, and people looked particularly elegant. He didn't look at the account, and said to the two, "I know the difficulties of the Ministry of Housing. Second son, look at it like this. Quancheng offered silk for a few days ago. Let's convert the silver and give you the silk as much as you want. It's done, okay? "
As soon as Xiao Chiye left, Wang Xian froze, and said to Xue Xiuzhuo, "Why did he want money for the embargo? Most of them used it to splurge. The two sons became the day since they became the governor of the embargo. Spending time and time, people have been forced to do nothing, and they are uncomfortable at all! "
Xue Xiuzhuo laughed and didn't answer.

Xiao Chiye left the office of the Ministry of the Ministry and went to Donglong Street. He was taller than he was five years ago, and saw that momentum had faded.
The king of Chu Li Jianheng waited for him all morning and saw someone hurriedly saying, "Why did you go? But I'm in a hurry!"
"Wave." Xiao Chiye sat down and drank his cold drink. When he saw the ice basin in the room, he stretched his limbs and lay down on the Lohan bed, and said, "It's comfortable here, and the heat is dizzy outside. I sleep. child."
"That won't work!" Li Jianheng shook his Maozhu fan vigorously, sighing openly, "you have to wait until I finish talking before going to sleep!"
Xiao Chiye didn't know why he went at night, and now he was so distressed that he inadvertently said "um".
Li Jianheng first drank ice wine on the delicate hand and said, "Do you remember the woman I said to you last time? I raised it in Zhuangzi five years ago, and prepared to collect it myself. The blessed king and eight lambs took the filial piety to Pan Rugui's gangster! "
Xiao Chiye said "Oh".
Li Jianheng even more vigorous, said: "I went out to escape the summer a few days ago, and saw her again at Zhuangzi! The little lady raised fine skin and tender meat, and looked more pleasant than five years ago. It's a horrible thing! The dog thief robs love and breaks a good marriage for me. Can this be done? Can't be done! "
Xiao Chiye yawned.
Li Jianheng said, "Are you a brother? You have to give me a way to get him done once! If Pan Rugui can't touch him, he will be beaten!"
Xiao Chiye was so tired, he said, "How do you do that? Do you drag people out of the palace?"
Li Jianheng pushed away the servant's pets and closed the fan, saying, "Immediately on Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor will go to Xiyuan to watch the dragon boat race. At that time, Pan Rugui will need to follow, and he will follow, and Xiao Fuzi will also follow. Let's get him out and kill him! "
Xiao Chiye seemed to be asleep. When Li Jianheng saw that he was silent, he said, "Ce'an, you're not listening."
"It's impossible to kill." Xiao Chiye closed his eyes and said, "If Pan Rugui hates you because of this, there will be trouble in the future."
Li Jianheng said, "Well, let ’s hit the assembly? I ca n’t even use the meal without this bad breath. What ’s wrong with you lately? It ’s always a bad mood. What did I do at night? I went back last time. Why did you pay for the chicks you picked! "
Xiao Chiye was completely silent, waving his hand to signal that he knew. He had no bones on his thumb, but his teeth had left marks. After Li Jianheng said something else, he turned a deaf ear to nothing.

At the back of the luncheon for a few days, Emperor Xiande, who hadn't been to the dynasty for a long time, moved the patient to Xiyuan. The family members of the driving palace all wore gauze clothes. Ji Lei and the Eighth Battalion Commander Tong Gu'an escorted the driver.
By the time Xiao Chiye was full, Emperor Xiande had inserted the willow and was waiting for the horse racing to begin. The accompanying Guanglu Temple next to the seat was cornered and pastries, Li Jianheng stayed at the Prince's seat and beckoned Xiao Chiye.
Xiao Chiye threw the whip to Chen Yang behind him, and while untied his arms, he entered the table.
Li Jianheng was still holding the bamboo fan today and said, "Why did you come here, you can kill me!"
Xiao Chiye said, "All day long, is it okay?"
Li Jianheng fanned the wind and said, "Did I not get used to it! Hey, did you see that? Xiaofuzi was waiting there."
Xiao Chiye glanced at and saw Xiao Fuzi smiling happily and speaking in Pan Rugui's ear. He said, "Don't rush up later, just give someone a fight."
Half an hour later, Xiao Fuzi was stepping on the edge of Maokeng and was preparing to release water. He suddenly got dark and was completely covered with sacks.
"G!" Xiao Fuzi shouted screaming, but was stunned by a punch.
Li Jianheng saw the sack and said nothing. He lifted his robe first and lifted his feet. Little Fuzi covered his mouth while covering his sack, and hummed with pain on the ground.
The horse race ahead was at a critical moment, and no one was listening.
Xiao Fuzi was beaten for a little while, but Li Jianheng was stopped by Chen Yang before he felt angry. The guards at the Wangfu behind Chen Yang Chong winked, and the guards quickly sacked and ran.
"His Royal Highness," said Chen Yang, "you will die if you fight again. Next time."
Li Jianheng pulled the robe, looked at him, and said, "Where do you throw people?"
"The governor ordered it and threw it into the woods by the lake. After a banquet, the servants' nephew all passed there, and he would be able to untie it."
Li Jianheng took another sip at the place where Xiao Fuzi Shi rolled over and returned to the table.

At the banquet, Li Jianheng had forgotten people. Xiao Chiye looked at Pan Rugui's side carefully, but did not see Xiao Fuzi.
Li Jianheng picked vegetables with chopsticks and said, "Baicheng feels ashamed, and ran back to change clothes. The imprisonment they served before the emperor was most afraid that their bodies were not clean, which made them suspicious. Will they go to my village in a few days to play? Let you see that little lady. "
Xiao Chiye drank cold tea and said, "I'm busy."
Li Jianheng grinned and said, "Pretend to me too? You are busy, and the embargo is about to dissolve. What can be done for this idle duty?"
"Busy to drink." Xiao Chiye also laughed, staring at the tea in his hand, his face was a bit unruly, "All autumn is checked, you have to invite someone to drink to keep this idle duty. "
"Being a man." Li Jianheng nodded his chopsticks and said, "Just having brocades and food to raise them, and eat them together to die for life. What do they say about Pan Dang and other relatives who fight to survive or not? Are they all interesting?"
"Yeah." Xiao Chiye laughed worse and worse, "Isn't that putting a stop on yourself? It's the best thing to play."
Li Jianheng looked at him with a smile, and said, "Don't hesitate what happened, who dare to wipe out my brother's official? You are the emperor's close, we are going to confuse the day. So go ahead before the autumn I'll have a flower-viewing feast in the house, and you invite everyone. "
"Don't worry." Xiao Chiye said looking at Xiyuan, and saw the treasure hall of Zhao sin Temple from the edge of the undulating eaves. He frowned, and said, "Here is Zhaozi Temple."
"Still remembering it," Li Jianheng said, "That's been a long time since I pulled my fingers."
Xiao Chiye habitually rubbed his thumb.
"That Shen's guilt has been closed for five years, and I have never heard anything. Whether a person is dead or crazy, the emperor has never asked." Li Jianheng said, "If it's me inside, don't say five Years, even half a month, I have to go crazy. "
Xiao Chi's wild tiger had a pain and didn't want to mention this person.
Just as a drum sounded by the lake, Li Jianheng lost his chopsticks and stood up to urge: "Let's go! Dragon boat racing, they guarantee that they will gamble!"
Xiao Chiye was about to get up, but saw Ji Lei walking through the crowd quickly, and leaned over to Pan Rugui and said something. Pan Rugui turned his head abruptly, and remade the table case just for a moment.
Xiao Chiye immediately looked at the morning sun behind him.
Chen Yang froze and said, "Always ..."
"Emperor!" Ji Lei was already kneeling at the imperial palace, and said loudly, "I am afraid that the dragon boat race will not be completed. Only before the Weichen led the inspection of Jin Yiwei, he actually picked out the small lucky son on duty from the water!"
Emperor Xiande coughed violently, and Pan Rugui stepped forward to stroke Emperor Xiande's back. Emperor Xiande eased a little, and then asked, "What is he doing in the water?"
Ji Lei looked up, and wondered whether he was looking at Emperor Xiande or his queen mother. Shen Sheng said, "People have drowned."
There was a commotion in the house, and they covered her mouth with silk.
Li Jianheng immediately knocked down the teacup on the table, and he stood up in panic and looked at Xiao Chiye: "I'm just talking ..." 2k novel reading network
