After a puzzling meal, Xu Yi also went to find Eunuch Mu Ru, but he only got 10,000 taels of silver notes.
Eunuch Mu Ru said disdainfully: "Only ten thousand taels?
How about sending beggars away?"
Xu Yi was startled, why did Eunuch Mu Ru speak like this?
Ten thousand taels was much better, and he tried his best.
But after spending so many years with Eunuch Mu Ru, I respected him as an elder. I didn’t want to offend him, so I had to say, “I only have so much left. I’ll think of something for you later.”
Eunuch Mu Ru took the 10,000 taels of silver notes and left without giving him a good look.
In the evening, Eunuch Mu Ru saw Xu Yi and said, "Our family has lost the ten thousand taels today, so we can't pay it back for the time being. We will pay it back to you in a few years when we have enough money."
When Xu heard this, he immediately jumped, "What?
Lost?
Not buying a house?
How can you gamble?"
Eunuch Mu Ru glanced at him sideways, "It's not like I won't give it back to you. Why are you angry?"
Xu Yi turned red with anger and shouted, "I couldn't bear to say anything about that money myself. I thought it was for you to buy a house, but you actually used it for gambling. It's really too much."
"It's not like I forced you to borrow it, you lent it to us willingly."
After Eunuch Mu Ru finished speaking, he walked away proudly.
Xu Yi did not expect that Eunuch Mu Ru was such a person. In a rage, he went in to find an argument with the emperor and queen.
After hearing Xu Yiyi's indignant words, Yu Wenhao asked, "Do you think Lao Mu Ru needs to buy a house?"
"No need, he said before that he wanted to die in the palace, so why buy a house?
When he borrowed money from Wei Chen, Wei Chen felt that he didn't need to buy it."
"In that case, why don't you advise?"
"Weichen thinks that this old man has big ideas. Since he wants to buy it, let him go. Who would have thought that he would use it for gambling."
"He said he wanted to buy a house, and he borrowed such a large amount of money from you. Why didn't you go check it out?"
"check?"
Xu Yi was startled, "If Wei Chen goes to check, wouldn't it mean that he doesn't trust him?"
Yu Wenhao continued to ask: "Then can you explain yourself?
You lent such a huge sum of money without investigating."
"I never thought he was gambling."
Xu Yi beat his chest and stamped his feet. He was really angry.
"How do you know he is gambling?"
"That's what he said. He just said he lost."
Yuan Qingling listened and laughed, "Xu Yi, you believe it when he says it?
Why don't you go investigate?
You lent him the money for just one day, where did he go and lose the bet?"
Xu Yiyi patted his head, "Yes, gambling is strictly prohibited in the palace, where did he go to gamble?
Your Majesty is still smart, Wei Chen will ask him now."
"stop!"
Yu Wenhao shouted at him, "Sit down and I'll talk to you."
"Wei Chen, go and ask first. I'm more worried about the money."
Xu Yi said and ran out.
Yu Wenhao slapped the table and said angrily: "Sit down!"
Xu turned around and saw that the emperor was furious, so he had to go back and sit down, murmuring: "Why do we have to talk about it now?"
Yu Wenhao looked at the face of a half-familiar man and sighed, "Xu Yi, I wonder if your brain is filled with water. Why can't you do anything now?"
Xu Yi said depressedly: "Wei Chen has been friends with Eunuch Mu Ru for more than ten years, who knows?"
"Not only about Mu Ru, but also what people outside said about you, I know. You also knew about it, right?"
Xu frowned and said, "I know."
Yu Wenhao said angrily: "Since you know it, why do you let others talk about it?
Do you not know martial arts or are you handicapped?"
Xu Yi pretended to be carefree and said: "They are all ministers working for the emperor. I don't want to conflict with them. If there is a quarrel or a fight, if you help Wei Chen, it will be partiality. If you don't help Wei Chen, it will be selfish."
, I felt uncomfortable in my heart, so I simply endured it, so as to save the emperor from trouble."
Yu Wenhao said: "You don't want to embarrass me, and I don't want you to be wronged. Moreover, it's not the time when I first ascended the throne, but now I am helping you. Who dares to say a word?"
"I just don't think it's necessary," Xu paused, then pretended to smile indifferently, "Actually, it's no wonder that others look down on it. It's not like I've never been an official before, and now I'm in a temporary position, but it's true.
If you don’t get ahead, you won’t even be able to pass the exam.”
Yu Wenhao really felt sorry for this fool, "That's because I didn't arrange you in the right position. I hope you can relax a little more and spend more time with your family and me. Haven't you suffered enough?
Looking at all your old illnesses and the scars on your chest and back, I feel sorry for you when I think of it. I still remember how brave you were on the battlefield."
Xu Yihan smiled naively, "That humble minister would rather be mediocre than show any more bravery."
