Young Master Liu's eyes immediately became strange. He looked up and down at Song Qing, who was laughing endlessly across from him, and shook his head with disgust.
"Boss, you are really nothing. You support your sister-in-law outside your home, and you are not afraid of thunder.
If you want to take a concubine, you can just find a concubine with two rooms in an open and honest manner, why do you have to do it secretly?"
"Hey, let's not talk about our eldest brother, our second brother, you and that pretty girl you call Sister Tao..."
"Well, well, if you don't talk about this anymore, aren't you the King of Ginseng?
have!
However, this ginseng king is a life-threatening treasure, and one is hard to find even for a million dollars in the private market.
We are brothers who are so close and have been together for decades. I won’t ask you for more. Just give me one thousand taels of silver for each one!
Brother, how about selling you five of them? That’s interesting."
"Bullshit, why don't you go and grab it! The salary you gave me for one year is only more than two thousand taels. You want to take away my salary for two and a half years with just one mouthful. How will I explain it to your sister-in-law and the others?
I don’t want it anymore, I don’t want it anymore!”
Young Master Liu nodded playfully: "Okay, business cannot be done without righteousness.
After drinking tea, you leave and I won’t send you far away!”
"If you don't drink it, won't it just be Jinshan Yunwu? I've drunk it before, and it's as good as yours or two."
Longjing and Biluochun can also quench your thirst. I have plenty of tea at home. Farewell!"
"please!"
Song Qing put down the teacup heavily, stood up and walked out of the screen. Young Master Liu smiled and sipped the tea without stopping him!
After a while, Song Qing came back with his head tilted and looked at Young Master Liu helplessly.
"You...you should try to stop me!"
"I never like to buy or sell by force. If we can't talk it through, let's forget it."
"You're asking for a high price, and I'll pay you back. At least it's cheaper! Twenty...no, no, no...how about fifty taels a piece?"
"I'll use what you just said to reply to you, why don't you go and grab it?"
"Your Majesty, the hot water for bathing is ready."
Young Master Liu raised his eyebrows, put down his teacup and stretched, looking at Song Qing's bitter look: "Little Chengzi."
Xiao Chengzi came over in a hurry: "Your Majesty?"
Young Master Liu pointed at Song Qing casually: "Take this guy to the inner treasury and give him whatever he wants except gold and silver."
"According to the order!"
"Your Majesty, please come with us."
"Goodbye, Zhengyi.
Eunuch Cheng, please wait for me.
Hey, hey, don't be empty-handed, take the inventory with you on the way and let me look at the list first!"
Listening to Song Qing's rogue voice outside the hall, Young Master Liu nodded with a wry smile and walked towards the steaming bathtub.
Song Qing's behavior showed that he was still the big brother he was familiar with, and he did not have any grudge in his heart because of the problem he just had.
In this way, I feel relieved.
Otherwise, it would be too lonely to be a ruthless, merciless, and unlucky loner.
Just like his father Li Zheng in the past, although he was rarely ambiguous with him in official matters, in private the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law was extremely harmonious.
People all over the world say that emperors are emotionless and lonely, but this statement is a bit too biased.
Emperors are human beings too!
Liu Mingzhi stretched out his hand to test the water temperature and silently untied the jade belt around his waist.
Seeing eight young and beautiful palace maids coming over to undress him and take care of him for a bath, Liu Mingzhi raised his hand to stop them.
"No, I'm still used to bathing by myself. Please step aside first. If you're busy with other things, just work on it for a while. If you're not busy, just go and rest."
The palace maids were obviously used to Liu Mingzhi's unique style of acting. They were no longer the same as when they first came into contact with Liu Mingzhi. Their pretty faces were full of fear and worry.
Putting the things in their hands on the changing rack next to the bathtub, the eight palace maids obediently bowed to Liu Mingzhifu: "Yes, I will leave you!"
"Your Majesty, your servant Cai'er is the female officer on duty at the Guangming Palace today. Your servant will be waiting outside the palace. If your Majesty has any instructions, just call Cai'er loudly."
"Okay, back off first!"
"Yes, slave, please retire!"
After the eight palace ladies closed the palace door and left, Liu Mingzhi walked to the back hall of Guangming Palace, opened the window and made a few gestures, then turned back, took off his clothes and jumped into the tub.
The hot water silently infiltrated the fatigue of sitting for a day, and Liu Mingzhi squinted his eyes and waited.
In about half a stick of incense, a fiery red figure came through the back window of Guangming Palace, and rushed towards the place where Liu Mingzhi was bathing.
"Master."
Liu Mingzhi slowly opened his eyes, looked behind him with a smile, and raised his eyebrows when he saw Suzaku's hot attire: "We're here, do you want to come with us?"
Suzaku's enchanting eyes narrowed and curved into a crescent shape. Without hesitation, she untied the ribbon around her waist. In the blink of an eye, her naked and flawless body jumped into the tub and directly into Young Master Liu's arms.
He held a floating petal and teased the tip of Young Master Liu's nose.
"Qier, the young master is polite to you, but you are really rude."
Suzaku turned around and snuggled into Liu Mingzhi's arms, humming softly and silently cleaning her long, round arms.
"You became polite after eating the sparrow? When you rushed towards me like a hungry ghost, I didn't see you being polite to me.
Master, your life is very comfortable. You are soaking in a hot bath, the water is sprinkled with flower petals sealed in the ice cellar in spring and summer, and you have a beautiful woman waiting by your side. This life is more enjoyable than that of a god.
How can I be like this concubine? If the young master just says a word, I will run away and break my legs. I will sleep in the open air and have three meals a day.
Your life is not as good as that of the maid serving you, but I am miserable to death."
Liu Mingzhi laughed a few times, raised his hand and took off the hairpin from the red silk hair. The beauty's bunted hair immediately fell into the bathtub like a waterfall.
Washing the beauty's black hair carefully, Mr. Liu said calmly: "Thank you for your hard work. Regarding the officials of the DPRK and the Central Government being close to each other, Chengzhi... you don't need to worry about their affairs anymore. From now on, we will take care of them."
It’s like this never happened.”
Suzaku suddenly turned around and looked at his beloved in surprise. The sound of water rushing and steaming steam made Suzaku shrouded in mist, adding a hazy beauty.
"Master, have you thought of a solution?"
Brushing away Suzaku's wet hair sticking to his face, Liu Mingzhi shook his head lightly.
"There is no solution for the moment, but I have figured it out. Some things are better blocked than unblocked.
To put it bluntly, it is partly my fault that I, the young master, have not established a throne. It is inevitable that these young successor officials will be taken advantage of by people with malicious intentions and do some stupid things.
Officials are working closely with Chengzhi and others for the party. Why are they all young and backward officials? There are no old foxes or important ministers in the court?
It's just that these old foxes know in their hearts that young master, I am now in the prime of life, but they are in their twilight years.
After they retire and return home, or even after they die, the young master may still be in charge of the world's mountains and rivers.
Therefore, who they appoint as the prince has nothing to do with them. After all, the people who will assist the prince in the future are not them, but these young officials who will succeed him.
That's why they honestly assisted me, the young master, in governing the country. They knew in their hearts that as long as they did not interfere with the prince's affairs, they would all end well and have a good reputation.
After we expand our territory in the future, we will all retire with success and leave our names in history."
Suzaku looked at Liu Mingzhi's shining eyes in confusion: "Isn't this good? One generation comes after another.
As long as the most powerful ministers in the court do not get involved in the future status of these young masters, it is expected that they will not be able to stir up any big troubles with the help of those young and backward officials who do not have much power!"
"Silly Queer, if only things were as simple as you think.
After these old ministers retire, the mainstay of the imperial court will be these young and backward officials who gradually move into the imperial court and take charge of the power of life and death granted by the emperor.
As the saying goes, a new generation replaces an old one, and the change of power in the court is inevitable and a normal thing.
If these backward young officials can be ranked in the second class, will they not know that sooner or later it will be their turn to take charge of power in the future court?
In this case, their immediate superiors are helping me to manage the country honestly, why do they still rush to get close to Chengfeng, Chengzhi, Yue'er and other princes and princesses?"
Suzaku bit her red lips and was silent for a while, then her beautiful eyes lit up: "The young master just said that they will inevitably be used by people with malicious intentions. Is someone taking advantage of them? But who is so bold as to reach out to the ministers in the second class?
Where is it?"
"Haha...of course it's their immediate superiors, these old foxes from the Six Departments and Nine Ministers!"
"Ah? But didn't the young master just say that they understand in their hearts that he will retire and return to his hometown in a few years, and he will retire with success and be famous... Oh... I understand, for the sake of my children and future generations!"
