A large number of people went back to the palace, the emperor's guard of honor opened the way, gongs and drums were noisy, and the weather was very powerful. The eunuchs and eunuchs accompanied them, and the imperial guards escorted them. All the officials and people fell on their knees.
Until the emperor's motorcade disappeared in front of him, the ministers and Yang Haisheng bid farewell one by one. The bustling Yang's house suddenly calmed down, and the maid's guard, under the arrangement of the housekeeper Ji Shu, straightened up and swept away.
Yang Yangui, holding an account book in his hand, carefully came to the door of Yang's house.
”Go to the study.” Yang Haisheng said lightly, turned and walked back.
With a bitter face, Yang Yan comes to the study with Yang Haisheng.
”Tell me, how much money has been spent on banquets in recent months.” Yang Haisheng asked.
Yang Yangui unfolded the account book and said, ”my father, it cost nearly 100000 taels of silver to prepare for the birthday banquet. The money was mainly spent on the warm Pavilion for the emperor and hundreds of other courtyards for guests to rest and play.”
”The rest of the money is spent on the payment of the maids and eunuchs from the palace and the running water banquet of the birthday party. Especially after your majesty comes here today, the dishes at the banquet cost more.”
”In the early days, the gentry and dignitaries in the capital came to see his majesty and paid 150000 taels of silver for the entrance fee. After removing the investment in the birthday banquet, we earned about 50000 taels of silver. Generally speaking, it was a balance of payments.” Yang Yangui finished and sent the account book to Yang Haisheng's desk.
Yang Haisheng looked down and turned over the account book. He was silent for a long time. He sighed: ”you've worked hard, Yan GUI. You've had a good rest these days. As a father, you've fallen down this time. Unexpectedly, a good birthday party was defeated in the fight between the Prince and you Wang. Although they are fighting against the most powerful prince and you wang in the dynasty, these things happened in our Yang mansion and spread And make the world laugh. ”
”Although your majesty came down to Yang's house to participate in his father's birthday banquet, my official is just a little servant of the Ministry of official affairs. He is not qualified to receive the honor of your Majesty's presence. All this is just your Majesty's face.”
”It's a pity. After all, it's a dream, and the banquet is ruined.” Yang Haisheng's face presents a kind of unspeakable disappointment, and his eyes are deeply unwilling.
Yang Yangui hesitated for a long time, then slowly spit out: ”father, you have done very well.”
”No, I didn't do enough! How about getting your Majesty's attention! The king of you didn't even say a word of greeting, so he was in trouble with the prince at my official's birthday party. He pushed my official and Yang's house to the top of the storm and made his Majesty's Long Yan angry. He almost was accused by his majesty! In the future, I'm afraid I'll get in touch with your royal highness! ”
”Yan GUI, you are not young now. Your father can't keep you around any more. It's time to find a good son for you. At the birthday party today, my father carefully considered the three princes that his majesty valued most. The prince is young and impulsive. He can't succeed and can't be entrusted. Liang Wang has a humble status. Although he has made military contributions, his fiefdom is in a remote place, and his future is gloomy. ”
”Now it seems that the most worthy object is you Wang! His biological mother, Princess Luo, is deeply loved by his majesty. His uncle is in the prime minister's position. After you marry in the past, you may be the queen in the future! Yang's house will also be favored by you and become a big family in Beijing! ”
Yang Haisheng said here, eyes shining, staring at Yang Yangui, like looking at a rare treasure!
