Tang's dining table

Liu Rengui smiled at Yun Chu and said, "Thank you, thank you."

Yun Chu said with a downcast face: "It should, it should!"

It was difficult to talk in the main hall, so the two of them could only continue to wait for the emperor's orders.

After punishing Yunchu and Liu Rengui, the censor naturally mentioned the missing five hundred kilograms of gunpowder.

Now, everyone knows that this thing will explode, and if it explodes, his whole family will be finished.

So they are very concerned about it.

Xin Maojiang, the minister of Dali Temple, simply said that he was investigating and didn't want to talk anymore.

Why don't you just answer the censor's question if you don't want to?

As a result, people began to ask about the extermination of the Tibetan mission and the Xianyang Bridge explosion.

The Minister of Dali Temple is still investigating.

Then, like mad dogs, the censors began to attack in groups.

Then, Yunchu saw Dali Temple Minister Xin Maojiang take off his hat, stuff it into the arms of a yelling censor, bow to the emperor, and leave the hall in large strides.

Yunchu asked Liu Rengui in a low voice: "Are all prime ministers so powerful?"

Liu Rengui didn't move, moved his mouth and said: "You are a very human minister, and you must have some temper."

General Xin Mao left, but the censors became even more crazy. Looking at their posture, they wanted to divide General Xin Mao and eat him.

Li Zhi said calmly that we would discuss it again, and today's court meeting was over. Everyone except Yun Chu seemed to be extremely satisfied.

After leaving the Golden Palace, Yun Chu looked Liu Rengui up and down: "Everything about him is not worth the money. Other people's wat boards are either ivory or jade. Why is your wat board made of wood?"

Liu Rengui put his elm wat board into his belt in a smart way and said: "It's just a stick on it. The jade one is heavy to hold, the ivory one is too precious, and the wood one is neither light nor heavy.

Just because of this wooden wat board, Your Majesty knows that I have no money, so I punish you.

But it's okay, His Majesty has begun to make it clear that he was wronged, and he will always find it in other matters.

You see, you, a sixth-grade county magistrate, will soon become a sixth-grade county magistrate. These five hundred kilograms of copper are worth it. "

Yun Chu grabbed Liu Ren and said, "Isn't he a fifth-level county magistrate?"

Liu Rengui chuckled and said: "It took me more than twenty years to get to the fifth rank. Do you really think that my official rank in the Tang Dynasty is not valuable?

Nowadays, official positions have reached the point where they are stacked on top of each other, but their ranks have never changed.

Just like a person, you can develop horizontally and be fat, but you cannot be tall. You are young and now you are in a high position. This is actually not a good thing for you.

The official system of the Tang Dynasty was actually designed to be very benevolent, protecting officials rather than harming them.

If you don’t believe it, if you go back and look through the documents issued by the Ming Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, you will find that officials who climbed up one step at a time were rarely deposed, while those who soared to the sky were easily pulled back by the court because they were useless. Come out and be slaughtered as a pig to set the record straight. "

Yun Chu looked at Li Ji's back and whispered, "Is it similar to the fact that Ying Gong likes to kill his son-in-law?"

Liu Rengui flicked his official hat and said: "Just like the chickens my wife raises at home, my wife who lays eggs diligently is willing to kill them for your sister to eat?

The chickens that were killed were all chickens that did not lay eggs and only knew how to eat. "

As he spoke, Liu Rengui looked at the rising sun, opened his arms and said, "Okay, my wife doesn't have to worry about me being beheaded by His Majesty, and there's no need to be busy building the thatched house in my hometown.

I heard that my wife and your wife are learning to do some business? "

Yun Chu said coldly: "From now on, whether your family can eat meat every day depends on your wife. With your salary, you can hardly even support your family."

Liu Rengui's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "Open a big canteen too?"

Yun Chu looked at Liu Rengui: "Do you expect Mrs. Sister-in-law to cook noodles in public?"

Liu Rengui smiled awkwardly and said, "This is inappropriate."

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Rengui said seriously: "You can't do any business that has anything to do with cotton."

Yun Chu looked at Liu Rengui with disdain: "The business they actually want to do is how to make gunpowder."

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "This business is good. As soon as the business opens, both your and my family will have heads falling on the ground. Haha, heads will be rolling all over the floor, and we will not be able to distinguish you. We will really become the best of the whole family."

Just as the two were chatting about their plans to make a fortune, a yellow gate stopped them in front of the palace gate.

At this time, a large number of officials were leaving the palace city, and they heard this Huangmen roaring with a voice that could break their eardrums.

"Wu Zhaoyi issued an order saying: Liu Rengui is loyal to the government, unparalleled in diligence, and has no time to care about anything else. In order to save Liu Qing from any worries, he specially commends Liu Rengui's wife, Feng Shi, for fifty pieces of gold, five hundred pieces of silk, and five hundred pieces of silk. A house in Yifang."

Liu Rengui, who had been having a lively chat with Yun Chu, suddenly received such a reward order, and his old face immediately pulled down.

He cupped his hands toward the Huangmen Gate and said, "If your Majesty wants to reward Liu Rengui, please personally issue an order and pass it on to Liu Rengui through the sect, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials. Liu Rengui will be grateful."

After saying that, he ignored the arrogant Huang Men, turned around and walked out of the palace gate with Yun Chu.

Yun Chu said regretfully: "It's such a big sum of money. The fifty gold mentioned here means fifty kilograms of gold, not fifty gold, right?"

Liu Rengui: "It should be fifty yi, which makes it a thousand taels of gold."

"Why not?"

Liu Rengui looked into Yun Chu's eyes and said, "Give it to you. Do you want it?"

Yun Chu curled his lips and said, "I'm not short of money."

Liu Rengui said with a smile: "I am not short of money either."

After saying that, the two laughed.

"Tell me about that thing about earthworms raising chickens. I think there's a lot to be done."

"That's natural. Chickens that grew up eating meat can't be compared to those chickens that grew up eating grain..."

Li Zhi, who had just gone to court, lay lazily on a soft bed, his feet hanging down and stepping on the giant bear's thick neck, while the giant bear coveted the cake in Li Zhi's hand.

Li Zhi took a bite of the cake and felt it tasted bad, so he spit it on the plate. He lowered his hand and stuffed the cake into the giant bear's mouth.

The giant bear swallowed the cake in one gulp and rubbed his head against Li Zhi's legs. Li Zhi took another piece of cake from the table and stuffed it into the bear's mouth.

Wu Mei walked in angrily from the outside and said to Li Zhi: "It's all your Majesty's bad idea to let this concubine be humiliated in public."

Li Zhi lazily raised his head, glanced at Wu Mei and said, "You don't want Liu Rengui?"

Wu Mei rolled her eyes and said, "As I said, if your Majesty wants to reward Liu Rengui, please issue an edict and go through the sect, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Personnel.

I, a second-grade Zhaoyi, am not qualified to reward him. "

Li Zhi waited for the giant bear to take the cake from his hand, then nodded and said: "It seems that this is my fault, it is indeed a bit frivolous.

Liu Rengui has always been upright and old-fashioned, and cannot be compared to someone like Yunchu who is blind to money.

Don't be angry. It doesn't sound good to reward foreign officials with the name of Zhaoyi. In a few days, when you can be canonized as a queen, you will be able to teach the queen. At that time, Liu Rengui will not be able to help him. "

Wu Mei pretended to be angry and said: "When I become the queen, I will no longer have the thought of rewarding you."

After Wu Mei put on the soft shoes for him, Li Zhi stood up, patted the giant bear who was still looking at the cake, and walked out, saying to Wu Mei: "It's good that everyone abides by their own rules."

As soon as Yunchu returned home, people from the Ministry of Rites came. They had no other purpose. They came just to fulfill the emperor's will.

Seeing Mrs. Cui carefully pulling out one thousand kilograms of copper from the money bank, totaling one hundred and thirty thousand coins, Yun Chu said to Yu Xiurong sadly and angrily: "See clearly, this is your husband who did something wrong and was blamed for it." cost."

From the Ministry of Rites was a doctor who was also very interesting. While instructing his subordinates to load money into their cars, he said to Yun Chu: "Congratulations to Yun County Prime Minister. In three days, he will be called the county magistrate.

The Ministry of Rites is making seals and ribbons and formulating decrees. In three days, the Prime Minister of Yun County will become the Magistrate of Yun County. A mere hundred years of money will not matter. "

Yun Chu looked even more sad and angry, pointing at the money and said: "It is easy for people to think that my position as county magistrate was not obtained by my own merit, but more like I bought it with money."

The doctor laughed loudly and said: "With more than one hundred guan, you also want to buy a magistrate of Jingxian County?

At that time, Yao Yurong, a wealthy cinnabar businessman in Sichuan Province, was willing to pay 5,000 guan in order to find a seventh-grade county magistrate for his son. Our Ministry of Rites refused and fined Yao Yurong 2,000 guan. A dignified county magistrate of ten thousand years, How can money buy it? "

Anyone who can talk is popular there. Yunchu was overjoyed when he heard this and wanted to order Mr. Cui to prepare a banquet, but the doctor refused.

He is here to collect a fine. This kind of thing is easy to be resented by others. If you take other people's money and then eat and drink at others, it is easy to be plotted.

After sending away the people who came to collect fines, Yun Chu told Yu Xiurong about Liu Rengui's refusal to accept Wu Mei's reward today.

Yu Xiurong sighed and said: "These truly lively people are really enviable."

Without saying a word, Yun Chu began to pull out the shining golden hairpin on Yu Xiurong's head, pluck out the priceless jade bracelet on her wrist, and take off the pair of boots on her feet that were said to be made of pig-pork dragon skin.

"Husband, what are you doing?"

Unable to resist, Yu Xiurong held her hair that was about to fall out and asked funnyly.

Yun Chu said fiercely: "From today on, our family will begin to live a life of true integrity as you said.'

I hope that in a hundred years I can live a life of integrity that everyone gives thumbs up and praises.

Also, Naha, donate your black horse to the army tomorrow. Such a good horse will be lost in your hands. "
