"I've seen Lord Yan."

Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin bowed their hands to greet Yan Shifan at the same time after Yan Shifan entered the door.

After the salute, Zhu Ping'an replied with a fan in his hand, "Today we are specially here to meet Lord Yan." ”

"Oh, what an honor it was for me to come and visit me." Yan Shifan sighed, then laughed, and stretched out his hand to beckon the two of them to sit down, "Sit, sit, don't be polite, just treat it as your own home." ”

"Thank you, Lord Yan." Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin thanked each other, and then sat down.

After taking their seats, according to the usual practice, the three of them exchanged nourishment for a while, and then got to the point.

"Lord Yan, don't hide it, the life of Yuwangfu is really difficult now, the finances are tight, and the official chefs of Yuwangfu can't make ends meet this morning." Chen Yiqin took the initiative to confess the financial embarrassment of Yuwangfu.

"Not really, right?" Yan Shifan looked surprised.

"It's true." Chen Yiqin nodded vigorously, and his words were convincing.

Zhu Ping'an also nodded.

"With the identity of King Yu, how can this be?" Yan Shifan shook his head, and then sighed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that not long ago, because of the negligence of Taicang, I just smashed the pot and sold iron to make up a fine of 12,000 taels of silver, and I would have taken out 1,800 taels of silver to turn over with King Yu today, hey, it's a pity that I am powerless now." ”

Taicang, Taicang, this is me.

When Zhu Ping'an heard this, he got up from his seat, bowed to Yan Shifan, and said with a guilty and ashamed look: "It's all the incompetence of the lower officials, and the failure to clearly investigate the Taicang moths, which has involved many innocent officials like Lord Yan, Ping'an is really guilty and ashamed......"

Zhu Ping'an confessed like this on his face, but in his heart, he slandered Yan Shifan's belly, you are the fattest one among the Taicang moths.

"Zihou, what are you doing here. You uncovered the serious theft case in Taicang, which contributed to my Daming Jiangshan Society, so what is the crime. Moreover, when I checked the warehouse, I was indeed negligent in inspecting Taicang because of the busy affairs of the Ministry of Industry, which is the truth. If you really talk about it, Zihou is the one who was involved, obviously he had a meritorious job in inspecting Taicang, but he was still fined silver. ”

Yan Shifan was very open-minded and righteous, stretched out his hand to help Zhu Ping'an, and patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder, complaining for Zhu Ping'an.

"Lord Yan understands righteousness, and peace is not as good as being ashamed." Zhu Ping'an slapped a sycophant at the right time.

"Haha...... What kind of righteousness is this...... Yan Shifan shook his head with a smile, the flesh on his face swayed left and right with his movements, and then looked at Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin, "Oh, by the way, where did I just go?" ”

"Lord Yan just said......" Zhu Ping'an repeated Yan Shifan's previous words softly and simply.

"Well, yes, it's a pity that Yan is powerless now, otherwise how could he have given his father and collected 1,800 taels of silver for King Yu."

Yan Shifan slapped his thigh hard, a big fat face full of annoyed expressions, and one eye was shining.

"It's enough for Lord Yan to have this heart, and the lower official and King Yu thank you Lord Yan." Chen Yiqin got up and arched his hand.

"Lord Chen is polite." Yan Shifan waved his hand.

"Don't hide it from Lord Yan, in fact, His Royal Highness King Yu's life could not have been so difficult, all because the household department has not issued His Royal Highness King Yu's annual gifts for three consecutive years." Chen Yiqin raised his head, looked at Yan Shifan, and said slowly.

"Oh, I thought that only our regular rewards had stopped, and it turned out that the household department did not give His Royal Highness King Yu's gifts...... Also, in recent years, our Ming Dynasty has been full of disasters and difficulties, in addition to the Japanese in the south, there are also displaced people, and the north must not be stopped, coupled with the continuous natural disasters, as well as those guards in Taicang who steal the moths, this treasury is really tight, and it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and it is also difficult for the household...... In order to share the worries of the saint, my father has not gone to the household department to withdraw his money for a year. ”

Yan Shifan sighed, then nodded, and began to worry about the country and the people, and also cited the example of his old father.

Yan Shifan's remarks took him and Yan Song out of it, and also created a high image of Weiye.

but

No matter what Yan Shifan said, Chen Yiqin and Zhu Ping'an would never believe it.

Especially Chen Yiqin, even when Yan Shifan is fart, it is obviously your Yan Shifan who instructed the household department to deduct the gift of His Royal Highness King Yu, this will be clean! What household is tight, it's all an excuse, if it's tight, why can His Royal Highness King Jing's New Year's gift be ignored, but he just deducted His Royal Highness Yuwang's New Year's gift.

It's not your Yan Shifan's ghost!

"Lord Yan, I still want to be ......" Chen Yiqin saw that Yan Shifan had picked it clean, and he looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he was excited in his heart.

Raise your hand?!

Zhu Ping'an saw that Chen Yiqin was about to say that Chu Gao raised his noble hand, so he couldn't help but take the lead and interrupted Chen Yiqin's words.

can't say that you raise your noble hand, wouldn't it be equivalent to saying that all this is Yan Shifan's ghost.

Although, this is the ghost he did, but it is good to know it, and the words cannot be spoken, otherwise Yan Shifan will definitely be annoyed and angry, and His Royal Highness King Yu really has no choice.

"Lord Yan, I still want to hang the Qin Mirror high, and make special arrangements, now the financial crisis of Yuwangfu is imminent, the pot is no longer revealed, it is difficult to continue, and hundreds of people in the palace are waiting for money and food to save the emergency. Although the treasury is tight now, and the household department is also in difficulty, I still hope that Lord Yan can say hello to the household department for the sake of the hundreds of people in Yuwang's mansion, and I hope that the household department can do special things and reissue the annual gift of His Royal Highness King Yu. His Royal Highness King Yu, as well as our subordinate officials, and hundreds of people in the palace will be grateful. ”

Zhu Ping'an interrupted Chen Yiqin's words in time, changed his noble hand to a high-hanging Qin mirror, and took the opportunity to explain his intentions.

Chen Yiqin listened to Zhu Ping'an's words, and then he reacted, he was almost about to say the wrong thing just now, but fortunately, he was thick and witty, Chen Yiqin gasped for breath in fear, and his back was already sweaty clothes.

"This ......," Yan Shifan pondered for a moment.

"Lord Yan, the life of King Yu's Mansion is really difficult now, and he urgently needs to be rescued, so please speak up. His Royal Highness King Yu also heard that Lord Yan is the most anxious and righteous, so he specially ordered me and Zihou to come and ask Lord Yan for help. If it weren't for the urgency of His Highness's official business, he really couldn't get out, and His Highness would have come in person. ”

Chen Yiqin was reminded by Zhu Ping'an, and he knew what to do at this moment, got up and left the table, and said to Yan Shifan with a moving face.

"Please also ask Lord Yan to speak up." Zhu Ping'an followed and stood up and took a long look.

Just like diplomatic envoys representing the country abroad, Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin represent Yuwangfu.

Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin bowed in front of him, which was equivalent to King Yu bowing in front of him.

Not only that, but the two are also sincere in their words and attitudes...... Oh, by the way, and the fifteen hundred taels of silver.

Ha ha......

Seeing this, Yan Shifan felt a great sense of satisfaction in his heart, and a refreshing feeling of overriding and conquering the imperial power arose.

"This, alas, doesn't it make me embarrassed, I'm in the Ministry of Industry, not the Ministry of Households, so I can only try it, and I'll let people say hello to the Ministry of Households later. No matter how tight the treasury is, it can't shorten the years of His Royal Highness King Yu. It's just that the household department doesn't listen to persuasion, then I really can't control it......" Yan Shifan pretended to speak.

"I understand, thank you Lord Yan for speaking up......" Zhu Ping'an and Chen Yiqin were overjoyed when they heard this, and thanked them.
