This prince is going to heaven

Chapter 234
Tea was immediately sprinkled all over his body. This 40-year-old man with a kind face was also full of panic at the moment.

"Master Ye, what's the matter? Are you dissatisfied with the tea served by the king?" Wen Ruyan was still smiling, and there was a hint of cynicism on his handsome face.

After all, Ye Hongyuan had been in the officialdom for many years. After hearing Wen Ruyan's words, he reacted extremely quickly.

Seeing that he hastily wiped the water droplets on the hem of his clothes with his hands, he quickly picked up the teacup with his bow, and put it on the table safely, then he smiled and said, "Your Highness, please don't misunderstand me." , Xiaguan has never tasted such good tea, in a moment of impatience, he forgot that the tea is boiling hot, so he scalded his hands and knocked over the cup, which made His Highness laugh."

This old fellow reacted quite quickly.Wen Ruyan thought secretly.

"So that's the case. I thought Mr. Ye was frightened by what I said just now." Wen Ruyan said meaningfully.

Ye Hongyuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't make fun of taking down the official."

The two people in the study were all smiling, but they both had their own calculations in their hearts.

"Why, Lord Ye thinks what I said just now was a joke to you?" Wen Ruyan asked again.

"Isn't it?" Ye Hongyuan asked back.

This amount of information is really too big, he really couldn't accept it for a while, he really couldn't understand, why this highness suddenly said such a word without beginning and end, could it be because of that girl Lin Xue, who made him feel sad Dissatisfied with life, and then want to take advantage of it to suppress yourself?
Or was it true that someone from the household department said something about himself in front of this highness, which made him dissatisfied?Taking the opportunity to beat yourself up?

He thought Wen Ruyan's 'jump out of the household department' just now was telling him to abandon his official position and return to his hometown.

Wen Ruyan glanced at him, and then said straight to the point: "Master Ye, I'm not joking with you, and it's not because I'm dissatisfied with you because of other things, you don't have to guess, I There is really no malice in inviting you here today."

"Ok?"

Ye Hongyuan really doesn't understand now, is there any malice?This is true, ever since I came, this Highness greeted me with a smile and served tea warmly, it really didn't look like he was looking for trouble for me, but what exactly did his words mean? meaning?

I saw Wen Ruyan continue to say: "Master Ye, as the servant of the household department, you must be familiar with the world's money and grain, right?"

Ye Hongyuan nodded slightly, and said: "This is the job of a subordinate official, so naturally I dare not be careless."

"Then why the national treasury is in short supply, you should know the reason, right?"

Ye Hongyuan smiled wryly, and said: "Didn't Your Highness make it clear in the hall that day? Now that the national treasury is not making ends meet, it is inevitable to go short! But it is really admirable that Your Highness can personally experience the suffering of the people." .”

At the end, he didn't forget to flatter Wen Ruyan a little.

Wen Ruyan smiled again, Ye Hongyuan looked at him with a relaxed expression, but his next words directly frightened him and made him turn pale.

"The landlords and squires all over the world want to steal their posts and avoid taxes. How could they bypass the checkpoint of the transfer department? Without the nod of several senior officials of the household department, how could they have such courage? Master Ye, do you think so? ?"

Ye Hongyuan's heart was already in turmoil at this moment, and there was a little trickiness in the household department. As the servant of the household department, he naturally knew it very well.Although he didn't participate in it, how could he not be afraid to hear His Highness say it so blatantly?
Could it be that someone sued him in front of him and blamed him?

"Your Highness was joking, and the officials really don't know about this." Ye Hongyuan couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his brow.

Wen Ruyan restrained the smile on his face, turned the corner of his mouth slightly, and said lightly: "Master Ye, you really don't know anything?"

"The officer really doesn't know anything."

At this moment, Ye Hongyuan could only deny it categorically. Of course, he understood the truth that too many words would lead to mistakes, and now he has not figured out what the situation is right now. It is always right to be cautious.

Wen Ruyan walked slowly to the side of the main seat in the study, and sat down gently, without the slightest expression on his face, not giving Ye Hongyuan the slightest chance to see through him.

Ye Hongyuan lowered his head and raised his eyes to secretly look at the handsome young man in front of him, his heart was really ups and downs.

Who said that His Royal Highness Prince Jing is a dandy, just by the inconspicuous expression on his face, it is enough to make people look sideways. This immobile skill is actually better than that of him in the officialdom. People who have been immersed for many years are much deeper.

"Master Ye, you have really developed the skill of being wise and protecting yourself to the extreme." Wen Ruyan took a sip of tea and said lightly.

Ye Hongyuan was taken aback again, this His Highness seemed to have seen him through.

That's what he thought. He didn't get involved in the tricks of the household department, because he was worried that the emperor would rectify the household department in the future. At that time, he would have a clean foundation and he would naturally escape.

But right now he doesn't intend to tell all these tricks, because he dare not, and now because he refuses to participate in this matter, he has already provoked many officials of the household department, if he really tells it, the emperor will believe it, if not , the unlucky one is himself.

At that time, dozens of officials will identify themselves together and blame him alone, then the gains will outweigh the losses.

He alone is no match for a group of people.

"Your Highness was joking. The officials really don't understand what you said."

Seeing that he was still denying it, Wen Ruyan also became a little angry: "I told you this, not only I know about the tricks of the Ministry of Accounting, but the emperor knows it, and even the emperor knows about it. The Ministry of Accounting will sooner or later It was rectified, but the current situation is precarious, and it is really inappropriate to make a big move. After this period of time, some things will naturally have to be settled, Mr. Ye, too much prudence and self-defense, it is misleading others and yourself!"

Ye Hongyuan was shocked. Although he pretended to be calm, the cold sweat on his forehead still betrayed him.

Wen Ruyan didn't give him the slightest chance, and then said deceitfully: "Master Ye, although you didn't participate in this matter, you can be regarded as the same crime if you don't report the knowledge."

Ye Hongyuan's face turned pale again: "How did Your Highness know that the lower officials did not participate?"

At this moment, he didn't want to deny it anymore. Seeing that he was so confident, and he had already put his words on the surface, then what's the point of denying it?Just make him angry.

Wen Ruyan twitched at the corner of his eyebrows, and said very naturally: "Since I invited Mr. Ye to the house today, I naturally have some evidence. I think you should have guessed this, so don't worry about it." I hope you can see clearly that if you think wisely and protect yourself until the end, you will be able to avoid disaster."
