The New Year... Logically speaking, it should not end until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
At least for ordinary people, that's the case.
It's a pity... Yan Bing... is not an ordinary citizen...
According to Daliang's holiday rules, officials only have five days of vacation at the end of the year, from the 28th to the 29th of the twelfth lunar month, until the third day of the first lunar month of the following year. On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Yan Bing should go to court.
…
In addition, she was living in Tongshun City at this time, far away from the Imperial City, so she had to get up in the middle of the night, wash her face, twist her hair, and gargle. She almost did it with her eyes closed, and she was so sleepy.
Obviously, looking at Li Lingyue who was still sleeping soundly, it was clear at a glance that she was envious.
But there is no way, who made her be dragged into the water by He Yougui and became the right minister...
At this time, she just wished she could still fight outside, at least that way she could have more freedom. She got into the carriage with difficulty, and almost as soon as she closed her eyes, and then opened them again, she was in front of the imperial city... She was so angry in her heart...
...Why didn't she feel that Tongshun City was so close to the capital in the past? Even if she was allowed to sleep for two more moments, it would be enough.
I mustered up my energy, pulled out the mirror, smoothed my hair that was messed up while sleeping, jumped out of the carriage, and followed the officials towards the main hall...
"Oh! Your Highness the Princess! I wish you a happy New Year!!"
"Shilang Zhou! You are polite, we share the same interests!"
"Your Highness Princess! I wish you good luck in your old age, and wish you good luck and great blessings!"
"Zheng Shangshu, you are so polite..."
"Your Highness, Sun Ruoyu, would like to say hello to Your Highness the Princess. Has Your Highness the Princess made any new items recently? Would you like me to open your eyes too?"
"New item? This hairpin on my head is a new one. Why don't I take it off and show it to you?"
"Hahahaha, Your Highness the Princess is joking. If you are willing to pick the seeds, I will definitely take them back and give them to my wife. Just say that Your Highness the Princess rewarded them!!"
"Go, go, go...go away!! I know you didn't hold your fart in well!!"
"Hahaha……"
………………
……………………
Yan Bing walked all the way, being polite to others and laughing with his friends, until he saw the familiar back of a skinny old man. He quickly picked up the hem of his skirt and chased after him, patting the other person's right shoulder, but he didn't know where to start.
The man from the left came out, cupped his hand, and said loudly: "Yan Mou wishes Mr. He a happy New Year!!"
"snort!!"
He Yougui snorted coldly, ignored Yan Bing, turned around and left...
Yan Bing chuckled and didn't care. She knew why He Yougui was angry. Wasn't it because she had agreed to take Mr. He to participate in the war against the Japanese, but something happened suddenly, and she finally let others off the hook...
There was nothing I could do. If she hadn't run so fast at that time, she would have had to limp through the war against the Japanese. She had to follow him and explain with a smile on her face. When she got to the palace to walk, what was wrong?
Kei also listened to the general idea
, replied directly with a sarcastic face: "Prince Yan, I'm afraid he will have this problem for his whole life, right? I may not be as good as you in fighting, but this family has a strict tradition, so I still do my part, hahahahaha..."
"Haha... Just keep pretending. When I sent you back to your son, I was the one who tried to persuade you and the old lady didn't hit you. What's wrong? Are you getting older? Did you forget it so quickly?
?”
"Hey! There are so many people!!" He Yougui blushed instantly and raised his hand to cover Yan Bing's mouth, but Yan Bing, who was quick-witted and quick-witted, stepped back and pointed at his hand and shouted.
:
"Put it down!! Your hand that just touched your shoes!! Put it down now!!"
He Yougui was stunned for a moment, looked at his hands, and then at the shoes on the ground. Then he smiled, dusted his hands, and said kindly: "Okay, I won't poke you, so don't say anything either."
I, but you remember!! You still owe me a war!!"
"Okay! That's easy! I'll take you with me next time!" Yan Bing smiled slightly and agreed smoothly.
As a result, the speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Wu Guangxiao, the Minister of Household Affairs on the side, immediately pulled a donkey face and came over... He stepped forward and bowed...
"Auntie!! Who are you trying to beat!? Our treasury only has so little money in total, can't you just calm down for a while?"
When Yan Bing heard this, he was not happy at the time. He frowned and asked: "Stop it? Why should we stop it? Now our army is at its peak! If we don't take advantage of now to expand our territory, how can we wait until this moment?
Do you want all the soldiers who are good at fighting to become old men before they start fighting?"
Halfway through his words, he suddenly caught a glimpse of He Yougui next to him, his face darkening, and he quickly consoled him cheerfully: "I'm not talking about you, you are not old at all! On the battlefield, at least one of you is as good as ten!!"
"Hmph!! You still look down on me!! I can at least hold up to forty people!! You guys are talking about your own business. I am not very good at walking, so I went in first!! Huh!!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves and walked into the hall, making Sun Ruoyu on the side cover his mouth and rejoice wildly. It wasn't until Yan Bing and Wu Guangxiao stared at him that he hurriedly cleared his throat and forced a calm face.
With an expression on his face, he also walked in...
When Wu Guangxiao saw that both of them were walking away, he came closer to Yan Bing and said in a low voice: "It's not that I don't know that Your Highness the Princess is speaking for the sake of the country and the people, but you really don't know how expensive firewood and rice are.
, when you defeated the late emperor, Ping Beizhen, conquered Varro, defeated Goryeo, and now you have sent troops to the Japanese country and defeated the Netherlands... Do you know how much silver has been destroyed in these years??"
Speaking of this, Wu Guangxiao quickly turned around and looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then whispered: "I will tell you the truth. Five years ago, our treasury was at this figure!!"
As he spoke, he shook his right hand out of his sleeve and made an "eight" sign in the air.
"As of now, our treasury only has this amount left!!"
After saying that, he gestured "one" in the air again...
"You think...is this still worth the trouble!? It really can't be worth the trouble...just stop for two years! Within two years! I guarantee that I can save this amount!!"
As he said that, he made a "six" sign in the air again!
"When the time comes... I'll have no problem with whoever you want to beat!" After saying that, he bowed his head towards Yan Bing again, with embarrassment written all over his face...
"Hiss... Wu Shangshu... the numbers you compared just now... are they tens of millions of taels... or are they 100 million taels??"
"Ah!??" When Wu Guangxiao heard this, he was stunned. He quickly opened his eyes and replied softly: "Of course it is ten million taels! How dare you daydream about hundreds of millions of taels?"
Why have you approved memorials for so long and been in the cabinet for so long...don’t you even know this??" 81Zw.????m
Yan Bing pursed his lips, smiled awkwardly, and replied in a low voice: "The memorials of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Personnel... are usually issued by His Majesty himself. Yan... has never seen it..."
"Oh..." Wu Guangxiao nodded thoughtfully after listening...but before he could speak again, Yan Bing's next words scared him out of his wits!!
"It turns out that our court is so poor... If you had told me earlier, could all the money for this war come from my fief? Alas... it's such a hassle..."
