Chapter 453 King Dongshan Slips Away
Chapter 453 King Dongshan Slips Away
Mu Feng clasped his fists and saluted, saying politely:
"Master Lu, the prince said that from now on this Supervisory Office will be Master Lu's office, and the backyard will be where you and your group will live. Don't be shy, just feel free to live there."
Lord Lu also clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. I will go to meet Your Highness after I settle down." He didn't expect that he would be able to live in such a large mansion as soon as he arrived.
Mu Feng reminded: "Lord Lu has just arrived, so there is no need to rush to see him. The prince is not in a good mood today and probably doesn't want to see anyone.
Lord Lu, there is still a long way to go, so there is no need to rush." Save you from having to read his face.
Lord Lu looked at Mu Feng in surprise for a moment, then smiled more sincerely, shook Mu Feng's hand warmly to express his gratitude, and stuffed something into Mu Feng's hand.
Mu Feng remained calm. He exchanged a few polite words with Lord Lu and then turned back.
On the way, he opened his hand and saw that it was a banknote. He opened it and saw, wow! One hundred taels.
Haha, I wonder if his master still has a hundred taels in his hand.
Lord Lu is really generous.
After returning, Mu Feng presented the hundred taels of silver to the prince.
This was not his hidden pocket money; it was forced upon him by someone else.
King Dongshan stroked his chin and thought:
People around him can get a silver note of one hundred taels just by passing on a message. If he creates even a little obstacle for Lord Lu, he will have to pay a huge amount of silver as a tribute.
(ˉ▽ ̄~) Cut~~
He still has a bottom line. Although he is poor, he still has his dignity!
However, why are all these officials richer than me?
Let's talk about Lord Lu, well, if you think about it carefully, the Lu family has been passed down for many generations. The Lu family is a prestigious family in Kyoto. It seems, possible, and probably makes sense that their family background is richer than his.
Who made his mother a grassroots?
His father did have a lot of wealth, but unfortunately he didn't like him and didn't give him any wealth.
The emperor's brother! Hey! He is also a poor man.
The Ministry of Revenue is almost labeled poor.
Prince Dongshan still doesn't know that the emperor now has a lot of wealth in the national treasury, not counting the gold mines seized from the eldest prince.
They also moved all the gold, silver and treasures that the old emperor had looted from their father's tomb back to the national treasury.
Although the Ministry of Revenue is not so arrogant now, at least it doesn't have to hide from others anymore.
They no longer have to be afraid of the approval documents that are piled on their desks and require urgent funding. They will approve the documents when necessary and allocate funds when necessary.
The south was in urgent need of dredging rivers, and the northern army needed cotton-padded clothes for the winter, so the Ministry of Revenue quickly allocated silver.
Even if a large amount of money was allocated, the deposits in the treasury were still considerable.
Prince Dongshan has been busy suppressing private armies in Panlong Mountain for a while now, and has paid less attention to court affairs, so he didn't know about this matter yet.
He thought the national treasury was still as empty as before, and he had no other choice but to ask his brother for money every time.
If there was any way, he would not have the heart to ask his brother for money.
Forget it, Weidong is not here. He doesn’t like Lord Lu, who is richer than him.
I can't admit that I am just envious and jealous!
He is a prince, huh? He has less money than others give him!
How can he feel good?
Weidong left, taking his good mood with him. He quit!
He wanted to relax, and then go back to Kyoto to wait for Weidong.
Well, it’s such a happy decision.
Therefore, when Lord Lu dressed up and came to pay a visit to King Dongshan the next day, he only saw the prince's clerk who stayed there waiting for him.
Liu Shuli conveyed the prince's intention:
It probably means that he had left first because of something, and the clerk was aware of all the trivial matters, so Lord Lu and Clerk Liu could just work together.
Shuli Liu handed over the work to Lord Lu on behalf of the prince.
Lord Lu was confused: He didn't offend the prince, so why did the prince slip away as soon as he arrived?
Shuli Liu comforted him, "Lord Lu, you don't have to think too much. The prince has stayed here for too long and has wanted to leave a long time ago." The implication is that it is not because of your personal reasons.
Lord Lu: "Oh! If that's the case, then I feel relieved." He thought the prince didn't like him!
Little did he know that half of the reason the prince wanted to marry into the family was because he didn't like the way he spent money lavishly on other people.
Because the prince himself is poor and cannot do it.
Therefore, he took his anger out on Lord Lu and so capriciously took a vacation to relax.
Lord Lu: The prince left just after he arrived, which made him feel very uneasy.
Clerk Liu smiled and handed over the registration book to be checked next. There was a lot of official work waiting for them!
There's no time for you to think about it.
Lord Lu had no choice but to take over King Dongshan's job in Panlong Mountain without complaint.
King Dongshan, along with Mu Feng and a group of guards, set out on a journey of entertainment.
Mu Feng: "Prince, shall we go back to Kyoto?"
King Dongshan: "Don't rush back. Let's go to any interesting places along the way and go back by the end of the month."
Mu Feng: "Yes! Your Majesty."
With the prince's instructions, there is no need to rush on the journey.
The subordinates were very happy when they heard that the prince was going to take them out for a trip.
After all, I have been very busy since the war.
After experiencing several riots, their nerves were always on edge, fearing that something might happen to the prince.
After finally leaving the troubled Panlong Mountain, it is very necessary to relax for a while.
Everyone was very happy to hear the good news and couldn't help researching where there were fun places along the way and which places had famous food.
King Dongshan heard his subordinates laughing and discussing, but he did not scold them.
When nothing was happening, he also hoped that his men could live an easier life, because all his original guards and secret guards had died while protecting him.
After all, those people had been with him for several years and were people he was familiar with.
He died in an instant, even his shadow died.
The men around him now are all new, and were selected by his royal brother after he escaped death.
Because of the guilt he felt for the dead, he is not so harsh on his subordinates now.
Although the royal family had many rules, he would try to avoid them whenever possible in private.
The young men from the guard team were also trying to get along with the prince and found that he was surprisingly easy to talk to.
As long as the job is done well, King Dongshan rarely puts on airs at other times.
They were not punished for every little thing.
The secret guards had dealt with the prince before, and because the prince was the chief minister, he would always send them on official errands.
Si Dian and the secret guards are similar in that they cannot reveal their identities.
King Dongshan used to have a bad temper, but now he is completely different from before.
After all, as someone who has experienced life and death, I understand some changes.
Everyone likes the current prince very much. Who wants a master who is difficult to serve?
