I won't be a courtier anymore

The wind in autumn is a bit presumptuous, blowing off all the leaves on the branches like the wind and clouds, and the capital has gradually shown signs of depression.

The door of the household department was half open, Xie Feng was familiar with the way to the door, and the guard bowed and let Xie Feng in.

"Master Xie from the Ministry of War is here!" The master shouted from outside, and invited Xie Feng in, and showed Xie Feng some tea.

Wei Hong, Minister of the Household Department, was reading the official documents in the hall, and his subordinates were rushing around. When the master shouted, the entire Household Department fell silent.

Sure enough, after waiting for two breaths, there was a shout in the lobby: "Who! Close the door!"

It's not that Mr. Wei didn't react, but he brewed his feelings, and his voice was not loud enough to express his anger.

Xie Feng subconsciously scratched his ears to block the lion's roar.

"Master Wei." Xie Feng said with a smile.

Wei Hong pointed at Xie Feng's smiling face and said, "Don't smile at me, as soon as you smile at me, I know nothing is good!"

While Wei Hong accused, he secretly hated himself for being unable to resist Xie Feng's face.

"You don't want to hit the smiling face, Mr. Wei." Xie Feng said with a smile, "It's really nothing to me, it's just—"

"Don't! I don't have any money!" Wei Hong quickly walked down from his seat, still holding the account book in his hand, and pulled Xie Feng to the front of the account book, pointing to the few remaining silver and said to Xie Feng, "Look clearly, Mr. Xie, how can there be any money in our household department! We are not money bags, and we don't have endless money! Mr. Xie, are you forcing us to do business without capital?"

Xie Feng hurriedly comforted the excited Master Wei and said, "Master Wei, don't worry, you have no money, let's find a way, how can we let you do business without capital?"

Wei Hong sat back angrily, and said to Xie Feng: "Master Xie, look, you took 30 taels from me two months ago, and now you are here again, half of the money from the Ministry of Households this year has been given to you!"

"No way." Xie Feng said with a smile, "You gave His Majesty more than that to build temples."

Wei Hong paused, pulled Xie Feng's clothes and pulled Xie Feng to his side, and said in a low voice: "How did you talk, if this word reaches His Majesty's ears, something will happen, you can't even protect Dingguo Houfu. "

Xie Feng nodded and smiled.

Wei Hong said again: "I think you are also a young man who is motivated and has a good mind. Don't let it be because you are young and vigorous."

Xie Feng nodded.

Wei Hong said again: "That's it, wait a little longer, I really can't pay the money here, and see if this year's tax comes up, can I give you some."

When Xie Feng heard this, his heart sank. Three to four out of ten of the country's taxes came from Jiangnan. Now that Jiangnan has been hit by disasters and cannot make ends meet, even if the taxes come up, there is not much money.

"Then wait for the good news from your lord." Xie Feng said.

"Why are we being polite?" Wei Hong said, and at the end Wei Hong seemed to think of something again, and whispered to Xie Feng, "I heard that His Majesty wants to imitate the Jokhang Temple in Xijiang in the suburbs of Beijing at the end of the year, and build another Jokhang Temple. If you can get some money out of it, it will be enough to solve your urgent needs."

Sure enough, even the construction of the Jokhang Temple did not escape.

Xie Feng nodded.

"Yesterday, I greeted you in the palace. I saw the doctor invited by the second prince. He seemed to be quite capable. Your Majesty's face has turned ruddy a lot in the past few days, and his body seems to have become stronger, full of energy." Wei Hong said, " When will you please go back and show it to your old master Hou, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."

"The second prince only invited one?" Xie Feng asked.

"There is also a young man. I heard that they are two senior brothers. They are not very old." Wei Hong said with a smile, "They both look good."

"Where are they staying now?" Xie Feng asked.

"It was placed in the palace by His Majesty, and he was treated with him." Wei Hong pointed his fingers, "I heard that His Majesty named the doctor a great national doctor, tsk tsk, a hero is indeed a boy."

Xie Feng nodded and said: "Then I will also find an opportunity to enter the palace."

The subordinate officials came in with another pile of case files, and Wei Hong hurriedly got up and sent Xie Feng away: "Hurry up and go into the palace to have a look, I'm busy here too."

When Xie Feng heard that Li Bai was coming, he couldn't stand still, so he stood up and left without saying a word.

The subordinate officer looked at the back of Xie Feng leaving in a hurry, lowered his head in surprise and said to his lord: "My lord, why did lord Xie leave so quickly today?"

Wei Hong was so frightened that he pulled the subordinate officer in, and said in a low voice, "It's hard to fool you away, don't call it back, our treasury is almost empty."

The subordinate officials were too frightened to keep quiet.

After Xie Feng left the household department, he couldn't wait to go to the palace.

His Majesty lives in the Qianyuan Hall, the center of the entire palace.

"Master Xie, this way please." The little eunuch respectfully led Xie Feng, "This way please."

Xie Feng followed the little eunuch all the way, before reaching the Qianyuan Hall, he heard the sound of Qiang flute, Xie Feng couldn't help but stop and listen carefully.

Seeing this, the little eunuch explained in a low voice: "Mr. Li blew it."

"The one invited by the second prince?" Xie Feng pretended not to know, and asked casually.

"Exactly." The little eunuch said.

"Lead the way." Xie Feng wished he could fly to Li Bai's side with the sound of the Qiang flute, but the palace walls were so deep that there was no room for him to run around.

When we arrived at the main hall of Qianyuan Hall, we could hear some of the Qiang flute.

Xie Feng entered the door and knelt down and said, "My minister, Xie Feng, sees Your Majesty."

Hearing the sound, the old emperor glanced at Xie Feng, smiled in surprise and said, "Why do you remember to come to see me today? Could it be that you came to ask for money again?"

The old emperor seemed to be in a good mood, and casually made a joke with Xie Feng, Xie Feng hurriedly replied: "I met Mr. Wei at the household department today. Mr. Wei said that your majesty looks very good these days, so I went to the palace to see look."

"It's better." The old emperor laughed, and walked a few steps. Although his feet were a little staggered, he felt very good.

Xie Feng also has a bottom line.

"I heard that this is all due to the famous doctor invited by the second prince. I wonder if I will be lucky enough to meet this famous doctor?" Xie Feng said.

"Doctor Cheng went to see a doctor for the old prince today. He is not in the palace. Let him take a look at the old prince some other day." The old emperor said, and sighed again, "Our generation is old and sick. It hurts more."

"Has your Majesty heard the Qiang flute?" Xie Feng asked.

The old emperor was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid it's the kid brought by Dr. Cheng who is blowing. I'm getting old, and my ears are not working well, so I can't hear."

"Your Majesty can call this child to listen to it. The sound of the flute really has a taste of the Northwest. When I hear it, I feel as if I have seen the vast desert in the Northwest." Xie Feng said.

"Then let me hear it." The old emperor couldn't die for the time being, and he was in a very good mood.

Xie Feng's heart jumped suddenly, the little eunuch went to summon Li Bai, Xie Feng unconsciously looked towards the door, after a while, the little eunuch came in first, followed by a boy in white.
