The wife is the king of the palace

Hearing this, the head eunuch hurriedly called someone to find the rubbings that had been stored in the study room before and packed them up, then went out with Jin Qi holding them in a cold sweat.

Jin Qi had already taken advantage of this time to change his clothes. He took off his dragon robe and changed into a dark-colored strong suit. Without the loose robe, it was very convenient for him to move around, and it also made his figure more tall and straight.

Jin Qi strode towards the prime minister's mansion with the fastest speed.

In the prime minister's mansion, Lin Xu put the bucket he brought back on the ground, and the housekeeper immediately came forward to greet him. He was a little puzzled when he saw the fish in the bucket when he lowered his head, and then he immediately recognized the fish, and cold sweat followed.

"My lord, this?" The butler was in a cold sweat. He still remembered the last time Lin Xu brought the fish back to cook.

Lin Xu looked down at the two buckets in front of him. He frowned slightly, "Pour it into the pool in the backyard first."

Lin Xu took half of the fish in Jin Qi's pond in one breath, big and small, and filled two buckets.

Putting so many fish in the bucket is a little crowded. If left alone, most of them will definitely die in less than two days.

"Yes." The housekeeper and the guards were relieved to hear that Lin Xu didn't ask them to prepare pots and pans.

However, after Lin Xu saw the two of them carrying a bucket of fish to the backyard, he squeezed his chin with one hand, and seriously thought about how long these dozens of fish would last.

"My lord, I don't know what to feed this fish?" The butler stopped after walking a few steps.

This dragon carp is not an ordinary carp, it is extremely rare and rare, and it should not be common to eat.

"Just throw in some coarse grain crops, anyway, they will eat everything." Lin Xu recalled the scene in the past that no matter what he threw down, the fish would gather around to grab it.

While talking, Lin Xu glanced at some of the small fish fry in the bucket again, and decided with a serious face to raise them first, and then eat them when they grow bigger.The big ones can be fished first, but there are so many fish that can’t be eaten in a day or two, so release them first to avoid spoilage.

The butler was slightly surprised, but in the end he didn't say anything, but secretly thought about how to be careful, so as not to really blame the palace man to death.

After finishing eating, Lin Xu also walked towards the backyard with the two of them.

The prime minister's mansion existed in the previous dynasty, and after Lin Xu became prime minister, Jin Qi ordered people to renovate the mansion for him. Therefore, although Lin Xu was incorruptible and didn't pay much attention to these things, the prime minister's mansion is very large, with the front yard, the back yard, the hall and the living room There are all kinds of wing rooms, and there are several garden pools.

After Lin Xu moved in, he didn't like crowds or troubles, so he only rested in the master bedroom and a few places he needed on weekdays, and many places in the mansion were left unused.

The backyard that Lin Xu and the housekeeper mentioned before was a garden not far from his bedroom. Although it was not as good as the imperial garden in the palace, it was unique because of the proper care.

Lin Xu followed behind the two of them. He watched them pour all the fish in the bucket into the pool, and stood aside to watch the fish wagging their tails and sinking to the bottom before going to the study.

Lin Xu just entered the study, when there was a hasty knock on the door, it was the butler who came to find him.Lin Xu raised his head when he heard the sound, and before he had time to ask what happened, Jin Qi's voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Where did you get my baby?" Jin Qi hurried over.

Lin Xu looked up at him, ignored him, and sat back at the desk to continue flipping through the map in his hand.

"You guy, you don't take me seriously any more!" Jin Qi was ignored, and slapped the table, wishing he could go up and snatch the documents and drawings from Lin Xu's hand.

"How does the emperor want the minister to put the emperor in his eyes?" Lin Xu asked without raising his head.

"I am the emperor, you see that I am neither standing up nor saluting, and even ignoring me, how do you think about it?" Jin Qi slapped the table.

"Since the emperor knows his identity, please do what the emperor should do first." Lin Xu

Turn the page of the information in your hand.

These materials he got back from the Ministry of Industry are the map materials of the provinces along the way from the back of Dayu to the capital, which recorded the land, water conservancy and mountain conditions in several provinces in detail.

The post station route from the border gate adjacent to the Xia Kingdom to the capital is already being repaired, but it seems that this line is far from enough. A main road should also be built behind Dayu, just in case, and it can also serve as a deterrent to other countries. effect.

"What did I do that the emperor shouldn't do?"

"The problem of the treasury deficit has just been resolved, the border war situation has been unstable, the food and payment problem has not been resolved, and the renovation of the station still needs a lot of money. At such a juncture, the emperor is still extravagant and wasting. Is this what the emperor does?"

Jin Qi choked when he heard the words, Lin Xu's words were out of bounds and not polite at all, but they were not unreasonable.

If you really want to say that Dayu still needs money everywhere now, especially the situation at the border has been unstable, and war might start at any time. The two had already discussed this matter when they were still in Lin Xu's hometown, and they both agreed. It is agreed that it is necessary to make preparations in advance to store grain and money.

It's just that Jin Qi understands the truth, but the moment he heard Lin Xu's words, he still felt a little angry in his heart.It's not because Lin Xu doesn't treat him as the emperor and his words and deeds are beyond the rules, but because of Lin Xu's words themselves.

As the lord of a country, he was restricted everywhere, restricted by the officials of the court and the people of the Li people. Even if he just wanted to rebuild a pond, Lin Xu stopped him.

It's not a good feeling, it's very frustrating, and it's very irritating.

Jin Qi suppressed his anger and stared at Lin Xu in front of him. Lin Xu was really daring, if someone else dared to be so arrogant and unreasonable in front of him, he would have been separated by now.

It's just that this kind of emotion didn't stay in Jin Qi's heart for too long, and Jin Qi let out all his unhappiness with a silent long sigh.

As the emperor, if he wants to rebuild a pond, no one dares to say it, and no one will say it. The world belongs to him, not to mention rebuilding a small puddle. Say a few words.

But Jin Qi also understands that Lin Xu is not the kind of person who thinks highly of himself and takes transgressive behavior for granted because the relationship between the two is different from before, because he knows he likes him. He is not the superficial kind of person .

Jin Qi took a deep look at the person behind the table, took a deep breath to fill his chest, and then let it out again.

After taking two deep breaths back and forth, Jin Qi completely calmed down.

Lin Xu didn't want to stop him from renovating the pool.Although Lin Xu is a clean and honest man, he doesn't feel sorry for the money just because he built a pool. He never cared too much about money, let alone being stingy.

Jin Qi is not a stupid person, and it is not just ruthless methods and bloody hands that can secure his current position. After calming down, Jin Qi's thoughts turned quickly, and he quickly understood.

He has indeed slacked off a lot recently, because of his closer relationship with Lin Xu and because of his negligence. After nearly ten years, his dragon chair has been firmly seated, and no one in the court dares to disobey him. Now, except Xia Guo It can be said that nothing can shake his current status.

The days of being supreme and no one dared to disobey were too comfortable. Although he tried his best to restrain himself, he had to admit that he was much more lax and negligent now.

They had already agreed on the matter of the military pay at the border, and it had been almost a month since they came back, but he never thought about it at all.Although he believed that Lin Xu was willing to leave everything to him, it was not a reason for him to forget about it completely.

Besides, this is not a small matter, it is related to the war at the border, and if there is a slight mistake, it will affect the survival of the whole country. Although it is just a precaution, it should not be ignored by him as the emperor.

"Give me back my fish!" Jin Qi was a little weak, but he was still fierce, but the anger in his words had completely disappeared.

Lin Xu is really unlikable sometimes. He can clearly remind him directly, but he chooses such an annoying method, which makes him feel like a sap. If he is sober, he is sober, and he has a deep memory Yes, but it's really suffocating

Big.

Lin Xu heard the change in Jin Qi's tone, he finally put down the document in his hand and looked up, seeing that Jin Qi's eyes were clear, and Lin Xu's eyes softened a bit.

"What are you doing?" Jin Qi felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, because Lin Xu's cold eyes seemed to see through his thoughts, together with his anger before and depression after waking up.

Leaving aside the ambiguity between him and Lin Xu, Lin Xu is a person like a mirror. As the head of the officials, his duties of supporting and assisting the emperor and supervising the officials are not ambiguous at all, and he is too dedicated to his duties.

Lin Xu knew that his meaning had been conveyed, so he only glanced at the manager next to him.

"Back to the emperor, it's all in the backyard." The housekeeper said with a cold sweat.

"Backyard?" Jin Qi thought that Lin Xu must have boiled his treasure in the pot again, why not?

The housekeeper looked at Lin Xu, and seeing that Lin Xu didn't pay attention at all, he explained in cold sweat, "My lord ordered the fish to be put into the pond."

"Pond?" Jin Qi was slightly surprised.

"This... is the emperor going to take a look?" The butler hurriedly led the way.

Lin Xu kept silent, which made the housekeeper a little uncertain whether he was trying to embarrass Jin Qi or what?

"Lead the way!" Jin Qi said.Although he was sap, but this baby is still ready to go back.

The butler glanced at Lin Xu again, and seeing that Lin Xu didn't stop him, he hurriedly led Jin Qi towards the pool in the backyard.

When they arrived at the pool, the housekeeper pointed at the water surface with cold sweat. The pool in the Prime Minister’s Mansion is not like the shallow pool dug for these dragon carps in Jinqi Palace. trace.

Jin Qi glanced at the pool, but didn't see half of the blisters.

"Your Excellency told us to put all the fish in." The manager groaned in his heart, and it would be feasible to fish all the fish up now, and it would be feasible to scoop up all the water in the pool.

Jin Qi's eyes widened slightly, and the butler beside him was secretly complaining, but there was a smile on his face, Lin Xu didn't eat his treasure?

"Your servant will let people scoop up all the water in the pool, but it may take some time. Please return to the palace and wait. Once the servant catches all the fish, he will send them to the palace as soon as possible." The main pipe, now In this situation, it is already a gift for Jin Qi not to blame.

"No need, let's raise it here first, anyway, the pool in the palace is not enough now." Jin Qi had an uncontrollable smile on his face, Lin Xu is quite a caring person!

Although they went around and around a big bend, Lin Xu said fiercely but didn't really move them. Isn't this a good way to raise them?

Thinking of this, the smile on Jin Qi's face suddenly became brighter.He knew that although Lin Xu had a bad mouth, he was still very gentle to him.
