The past life is cold and the present life is warm

Chapter 194
Su Kanghui saw Han Heng's hesitation, shook his head helplessly and said, "Master Han, you should do your best. I know this matter is difficult. I came to see His Majesty this time to see if I can do it again." Approve some money. If it’s really not possible, I may have to give up my job.”

Han Heng nodded and said, "I'll try my best, but Mr. Su, don't have too much hope."

Su Kanghui gave a salute and said gratefully: "It's really troublesome Mr. Han."

The two chatted for a few more words.Then I saw Master Li, Minister of the Ministry of War, coming in a sedan chair.Han Heng quickly winked at Su Kanghui.Then he greeted Master Li.

Han Heng welcomed Master Li into the court room.Su Kanghui was copying his hands under the porch, and couldn't help sighing.Just as he was sighing, he saw Eunuch Fu, who was beside the emperor, approaching.

Eunuch Fu asked Su Kanghui with a smile like a Maitreya Buddha: "Hey, isn't this Mr. Su? Why are you standing here and sighing so early in the morning? If you plan to see the emperor later, you must not Like this."

Su Kanghui hurriedly saluted and said repeatedly: "What Eunuch Fu said is true, what Eunuch Fu said is true. I wonder how Your Majesty is feeling today?"

Eunuch Fu continued to say cheerfully: "It's neither good nor bad. Now the son of the protector of the country is inside. When the son comes out later, you can go in first."

Su Kanghui quickly waved his hand and said, "I won't be the first to go in. After I go in, His Majesty's mood will probably become bad. I'll go in after the other people finish their business."

Eunuch Fu looked at Su Kanghui in surprise, but quickly recovered his smile: "Then Master Su should wait in the court room, after all, the weather is turning cold now. You have to wait here all the time, don't hurt me any more. I have a cold. Then I will inform the other adults first."

"Eunuch Fu, please let me go." After Su Kanghui said this, he hurriedly gave way.After returning the gift, Eunuch Fu shook his whisk and walked past Su Kanghui towards the Zen room.

During this period, officials from the court and the central government came to the court room one after another.He looked at Su Kanghui who was standing outside the court room with a strange face.After waiting for a while, Master Li followed Eunuch Fu and took Han Heng to Ziying Hall.

Master Li glanced sideways at Su Kanghui when he passed by, and passed by without saying a word.And Han Heng frowned and shook his head when he passed by Su Kanghui.

Su Kanghui sighed and cupped his hands towards Han Heng.This time he turned around and walked towards the chamber.As soon as I entered the court room, I saw several adults sitting there drinking tea and chatting.

At this time, Yan Xiuqi, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, also came to the court room. When he saw Su Kanghui coming in, he frowned and asked with some dissatisfaction: "Master Su is going to help Master He's family organize the Qiuju Banquet? Why do you still have time to come to Ziying Hall?" Huh? And what were you doing standing outside just now?"

Su Kanghui hurriedly saluted and said, "It is precisely because I encountered some problems in the operation that I came here to ask His Majesty for instructions."

Yan Xiuqi continued to ask with a puzzled look: "If you want to have an autumn chrysanthemum banquet and alarm the emperor, what are you going to do? Don't you think it through with Mr. He first."

Su Kanghui replied neither humble nor overbearing: "It's because of the discussion, Mr. He can't do anything, so the subordinates came to the emperor. But don't worry, Mr. Yan. The subordinates will not delay your discussion of the business."

Yan Xiuqi frowned and said, "That's good." After finishing speaking, he stood up and cupped his hands at the other adults in the room, "Ms. Yan went to see if Master Li came out?"

Everyone else saluted back and said, "Thank you, Mr. Yan." But everyone knew in their hearts that Mr. Li would come out as soon as he entered.Mr. Yan obviously ran to inform Mr. He.

Everyone in the room disdains Yan Xiuqi.The dignified minister of the Ministry of Rites wants to curry favor with a third-rank servant in turn.It's really too impatient to go and send someone to notify in person.

Then many ministers looked at Su Kanghui with some sympathy.He has been in the fourth-rank position for almost ten years, and although he has been worrying about Ding Ding in the middle, it is time for him to make a move.Even if it's outside.But the emperor didn't mean that at all.

As for Su Kanghui, after greeting a few familiar adults, he found a corner and sat down, paying no heed to the eyes and inner thoughts of these adults.

After waiting for about an hour, a young eunuch finally pushed aside Su Kanghui and said, "Master Su, Eunuch Fu said you can go over."

After thanking the little eunuch, Su Kanghui strode towards Ziying Hall.

As soon as he passed through the outer shop of Ziying Hall, Su Kanghui saw Shao Zhiyan drinking tea and eating snacks on the side of the inner hall before he entered the side hall.And He Liangde, the servant of the household department, was already standing in front of the Longshu case.

Su Kanghui's heart immediately burst into anger.He tried his best to calm down, but he thought in his heart: It is an exception for the Ministry of Rites to help them with the Ban Qiuju Banquet in Hefu.Unexpectedly, there are many things more troublesome than a royal banquet or a prince's wedding.Even though he thought so, Su Kanghui still stepped forward to salute.

The emperor looked at Su Kanghui, then at He Liangde who was bowing his head aside, a trace of impatience flashed across his face.But the past was quickly covered up.Su Kanghui got up and asked with a smile: "Master Su, what do you want to say today? Hearing what Eunuch Fu said may affect my mood."

Su Kanghui lowered his head and replied: "Your Majesty, the banquet at Mr. He's family may not be held as scheduled."

The emperor said with a look of surprise: "Lord Su raised his head to speak. Why can't it be held as scheduled?"

Su Kanghui replied with a serious face: "The steward of He's house said that the money is not enough. I have also confirmed this matter with Mr. He. He also agreed with this statement. Therefore, the money is not enough. The follow-up request made by Mr. He's house later It can’t be satisfied. If it can’t be satisfied, the people in Lord He’s house will not hold the banquet. Moreover, even if the follow-up request is given enough money, the minister may not be [-]% sure that it will be satisfied on time.”

The emperor frowned when he heard this and said, "Is it because of a lack of money or because of a lack of time?"

He Liangde lowered his head and wiped his sweat while saying: "Lack, money." Su Kanghui replied together with him: "All are missing."

The emperor continued to ask with a puzzled expression: "Lord Su, I remember that when I first started preparing, I allocated 5000 taels of silver to you from my private treasury. Moreover, it is impossible for Master He's house to hold a banquet and leave it to you." Have you gone bankrupt? You have to tell me about this in detail. Did He Mansion buy any rare treasures and delicacies from mountains and seas? It’s really difficult. If it’s really difficult, the banquet will not be held. The eldest lady of the mansion just asks for a marriage."

Hearing that the emperor wanted to marry He Yinghuai, He Liangde recalled how his daughter was crying, making trouble and hanged herself, and hurriedly said: "Brother-in-law, you don't need to marry him. It's better for Yinger to choose by himself. I won't bother my brother-in-law." This is the will."

Su Kanghui and Shao Zhiyan, who was sitting beside him, couldn't help but glance at He Liangde, and then secretly glanced at the emperor together.The impatience on the emperor's face became more and more obvious.But He Liangde, who lowered his head, didn't notice all this.
