Chapter 146 Fighting for fame and fortune

"I'll give it fifteen taels and give it to me."

"Twenty taels."

...

The crowd was calling for a price in the street passionately, and suddenly a somewhat old voice came slowly.

"One hundred taels." The Minister of Revenue immediately raised the price of the ticket to a level that it could not have reached.

However, he didn't feel that he had lost, nor did anyone think he had lost, and many people even blamed him for not having so much money.

The Minister of Revenue, who had obtained the ticket, left happily.

Yan Ruomeng and Tang Yuchuan, who were sitting in the window of the restaurant on the street, witnessed it with their own eyes.

Yan Ruomeng smiled and leaned back and forth, "I'll just say these old guys will go sneaking."

In fact, it is not just here, they have already inquired about it. Many court officials have been passing through every day, and in those places.

I heard that the Prime Minister has been bidding for 500 taels.

However, some people have failed, such as the Minister of Rites. Who made him meet Chen Zheng by chance and was there, and he was still there, and he couldn't call Chen Zheng before.

"You really don't plan to open the back door for those courtiers and let them in?" Yan Ruomeng asked.

Tang Yuchuan shook his head, "If this precedent is opened, they will only be lucky in the future."

"But you can earn more money like that, think about your arsenal." Yan Ruomeng tried to convince him.

"Making money has to be done carefully. With this reference, they will only be more active in the future."

Tang Yuchuan completely convinced her, and Yan Ruomeng did not ask questions again.

But she didn't ask, someone would ask.

When it was Tang Yuchuan's turn to supervise the country again, the adults who did not get the ticket were hugged.

"Your Highness, why don't we join in the auction at the Cloud Tower?" asked the Minister of Rites.

Tang Yuchuan pretended not to know, "I am clearly open to the entrance qualification. If you want to go there, you can go to Dengyunlou to register to buy tickets."

The Minister of Rites stammered, "There are too few tickets to enter..."

Tang Yuchuan was also in a dilemma, "It's just that Dengyun Tower is limited and he can't sit there. Since he can't go, Lord Shangshu can just listen to the fun."

As an old minister who has been standing in the court for decades, how could he be so easily willing?

"I don't understand why Your Highness wants to engrave his name and leave his surname?"

The Minister of Revenue did not need Tang Yuchuan to reply to this complaint. The ministers who had grabbed the tickets in the court had already taken the initiative to help him speak out.

"What's wrong with carving names and surnames? You said that you would build a new Fengyuan so that the gods can understand the people and the royal family. Now we carving names and surnames will only seem more sincere. Could it be that you think it's inappropriate?" The speaker was the Minister of Revenue.

The Prime Minister also gave the Ministry of Revenue a affirmation, "Minister of Rites, it's really wrong for you this time. Since the Fengyuan and Money matters have been resolved, you really shouldn't say this."

The Minister of Rites, including a group of ministers who had previously stood by the Prime Minister and decided not to go to the Yunlou, looked at the Prime Minister incredibly.

"Did the Prime Minister buy the ticket?"

"From the relationship between the old minister and Your Highness, we naturally have to support Your Highness. Why not be a matter of benefiting others and oneself? Even if you don't leave a name, your subordinates will support you with all their strength." Cheng bent down at Tang Yuchuan and bowed to him.

The courtiers who were stabbed by his back all changed their faces.

"Did you hear it clearly? If you can all look like the Prime Minister, the emperor will have to worry a lot."

The ministers bent down and said, "I've been taught."

Things in the court were revealed like this.

When the Empress Dowager heard that the Prime Minister was the first to help Tang Yuchuan, she was furious and threw a teacup on the spot.

"Bather and daughter are both unreliable."

Lu Miao, who entered the palace to serve, hurriedly walked to the empress dowager and gave him her a sense of peace. "Empress dowager, please calm down. The Prime Minister is probably also for the Prime Minister's Mansion."

"He clearly thinks about him. When the big things of the Ai family are done, isn't it easy for him to leave a name? "

Seeing the Queen Mother so angry, Lu Miao kept feeling glad.

When the empress dowager became angry, she looked at Lu Miao and looked at her for a few times.

"You Lu family shouldn't have such shallow eyes, right?"

"I dare not. My father is an official Qinglian, and he does not seek these false reputations. The Lu family is not involved in this matter."

Yes, the Lu family did not participate, but she asked Pei Yi to participate, and Pei Yi would leave her name Lu Fei, which was her brother's name.

When the empress dowager heard her answer, she nodded with satisfaction, "Let your father prepare to pick your brother back to the capital!"

After following the empress dowager, she finally got what she wanted. Lu Miao knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

"The Queen Mother is very wise."

Lu Miao left the palace happily, and the auction with Tang Yuchuan also started to be organized.

Yan Ruomeng was willing to make a fortune, so he arranged for some shopkeepers in Lianlou District to set up stalls. As long as there are many people, the stalls can make more money.

As for her, she hasn't entered the kitchen for several days and is busy helping Tang Yuchuan count 100 auction items.

"I think this teacup is not an ordinary person. It seems that I have seen it in the palace. I think it was given by the emperor." Yan Ruomeng picked up an ice cracked teacup casually.

In fact, she couldn't tell whether it was ice cracks, because the teacup would leak even if it poured water.

However, Tang Yuchuan took a look, nodded, and wrote on the paper: Imperially awarded a set of tea cups for official kilns. Because I didn’t pay attention to many bumps when I was a child, there is only one orphan product left. The starting price is 10 taels of silver, and the upper limit is not covered.

Yan Ruomeng was amazed, "Are we considered forged imperial gifts?"

"No one will investigate, will the Empress Dowager and the Prime Minister's family still be punished?"

Yan Ruomeng gave him a thumbs up, "You are still great."

Three days later, the auction was in full swing.

As soon as it darkened, the direction of climbing the cloud tower became lively, and the people and officials were heading towards this place.

Yan Ruomeng and Tang Yuchuan sat in the private room on the fifth floor early in the morning. On the display stand in the middle was someone borrowed from Tang Heng, two handsome book boys, who were temporarily called Book boys A and B.

"Congratulations to everyone who came to Dengyun Tower. Being able to come here shows that your names are likely to be lucky enough to stay on the wall of the Fengyuan Temple. Since it is such an important matter, I won't say much, so I will start to display the first imperial gift item."

Shutong Yi opened the red cloth on the display stand, and the "ice crack" tea cup that Yan Ruomeng finally found to make up the number.

Shutong Jia began to introduce, "This item was given by the old emperor when His Highness the Crown Prince was a child. At that time, he gave a set of tea sets. Later, because His Highness was naughty when he was young, he bumped a few times. Now there is only one orphan product left, starting at 10 taels."

Everyone sighed in the cloud tower, but no one shouted.

Is it because ten taels of silver expensive?

Of course, ten taels of silver are not expensive. Those who can come here tonight also paid at least ten taels of silver. But they couldn't believe that they were only ten taels of silver from celebrities for generations.

After this shock, all parties in the town of Yunlou began to shout for yelling one after another.

"I'll give you ten taels."
