Chapter 162: Taking His Wife to Court (5)
The two of them were still chatting privately about what to eat for lunch today, when the majestic voice of the emperor came from above.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of this matter?"

Mo Lianchen raised his head with a puzzled expression, "Huh?"

"You..." The emperor held back his anger, and said it again, "What do you think of this trip to the south to repair the dam? The national treasury is overwhelmed and cannot make ends meet. Stop building. How do you feel about this?"

"If you want to stop building dams, then stop it!"

Mo Lianchen said indifferently, this matter is related to tax collection, and the household department has been controlled by King Xuan in recent years, so he has no way to talk about it!

"No, the dam has been repaired more than halfway. If it stops here, it will not only waste the money that the treasury gave out earlier, but also not conducive to the suppression of floods, and will cause people to be displaced. It is not conducive to the next treasury revenue. Such a vicious circle, this is the The country is in great trouble!"

Behind him, an old man with a gray beard held a wat board and knelt on the ground, knocking his head loudly.

Yi Jinning narrowed his eyes and nodded approvingly.A rare good official who knows how to think about the people and can take a longer-term perspective.

"Okay!" The emperor patted the dragon chair, "Department of Households, from now on, Qi Xing will be collecting money for building the dam, and you will be given half a month to complete this matter!"

King Xuan and Mo Yixuan suddenly turned their heads to look at the Minister of the Household Department, and then quickly looked elsewhere.From Yi Jinning's angle, he happened to see the Hubu Shangshu's look for help from Mo Yixuan.

Sure enough, there is an inside story!
The emperor's announcement was not over yet, he glared at the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and said to the ministers with disappointment, "The matter of the Ministry of household affairs has come to an end, and now we need to choose an imperial envoy to go to the south to supervise the construction of the dam. The person who recommended it?"

The underground discussions sounded again, the emperor looked around and stopped his eyes on Mo Lianchen.At this moment, he could only trust Mo Lianchen.There is a problem with the household department, and the national treasury is already empty, how can he not know?However, Marquis Changyi had grasped the lifeblood of almost the entire imperial court, so he had to pretend not to know for the time being.

If King Qing can successfully complete the task here, not only will he be able to accumulate popularity, but he will also win over those who cannot stand on his feet in the future.Now the situation is still changing, and it is twisting towards him. The recovery of King Qing is a good time!
"Go back to the emperor, I recommend King Xuan!"

An old man who supported King Xuan stood up, and a few more came out after him, and it was more appropriate to go along with King Xuan.

"The minister recommends the King of Qing!"

A clear baritone came from behind Yi Jinning, it was Yi Changhua's voice, didn't he belong to King Xuan's side?
Mo Lianchen also frowned. Is this father-in-law crazy?
"The minister suggested that the prince should be supervised. First, the prince represents the emperor, to show the emperor's kindness and love for the people. Second, since the prince is the prince, he should fulfill his responsibility for the people."

People who stand on the prince's side, except for the Taifu, are the prince's diehard loyalists.The official Tai Tuo who spoke, his gray beard flickered when he spoke, Yi Jinning found it very interesting to watch.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and it was not clear who would be more suitable for a while.After weighing the matter, the emperor felt that it was not good for him to ask Mo Yichen to be the imperial envoy, so he decided to ask an exam question to decide to supervise the construction of a large water conservancy project this time.If the dam can be repaired this time, it will be more than a great achievement?
The emperor asked someone to write the exam questions on the cloth. There were three exam questions. King Qing, King Xuan and the crown prince each had one, and each exam question was different.The emperor asked the three of them to answer him before the court tomorrow morning, and then announced their withdrawal from the court.

Yi Jinning was holding Mo Yichen's exam questions in his hand, and he didn't even intend to open it to read.Mo Lianchen put his arms around her slender waist, looked at his frowning wife, and smiled wickedly.

"Why, don't you want to open it and take a look?"

He grabbed the exam question and stuffed it into his arms.In fact, he didn't want to see it either.That imperial envoy is not something he can think about overnight, King Xuan's power is too weird, he suspects that "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" is the person of King Xuan.

"Haven't you decided too?"

Yi Jinning smiled, took his arm, and strode forward.Suddenly, a cry from behind stopped her.

"Ning'er, wait!"

Yi Changhua!
Her face became tense, and Yi Changhua would definitely have nothing good to do with her.

"Ning'er, wait for your father!"

Seeing that she didn't stop, Yi Changhua yelled again.It may be that the voice was indeed a bit loud, which attracted the attention of other ministers walking together.Yi Changhua lowered his head apologetically, and chased after Yi Jinning.

"What's the matter?"

Yi Jinning finally stopped leaving, but turned to stare at his father, without addressing him, and his tone was a little impatient.

"I have something to tell you, you can't see..."

He glanced at Mo Lianchen, who was standing beside Yi Jinning, and turned to him, "Master Qing, I didn't know Taishan before, and I apologize to you. Can you see that I am Ning'er's father?" In order to save face, let me and Ning'er have a few words alone?"

Mo Lianchen obtained Yi Jinning's consent and agreed to Yi Changhua's request, "Time for a cup of tea!"

"This...good!"

Yi Changhua thought for a while, and pulled Yi Jinning to leave, but was stopped by Mo Lianchen.

"Ning Ning, I'll be waiting for you at the north gate!" Mo Lianchen didn't even look at Yi Changhua. This snobbish father-in-law didn't treat Ning Ning as his daughter at all, let alone treat him as a fool. The son-in-law took it seriously.Since he was the one who disliked people in the past, don't blame them for disliking him now.

"it is good!"

Leaving Mo Lianchen a reassuring smile, Yi Jinning followed Yi Changhua to the tower at the south gate.

The breeze caressed, Yi Jinning's long hair was lifted by the wind, and the tip of the hair covered one of her eyes, passed over her bright red lips, and fell on her snow-white neck.

She reached out and brushed up the strand of hair, tucking it behind her ear.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

Yi Changhua looked at his daughter with his back turned away, feeling infinitely sad in his heart.He was choked up and unable to speak, as long as he could take a good look at her at this moment, he felt satisfied.

"What's the matter? I'll leave without saying anything. I don't have time to blow with you here!"

"I……"

Yi Changhua hesitated to speak, and Yi Jinning was so angry that he wanted to beat him up.She clenched her fist, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by Yi Changhua behind.

"Ning Ning!" He walked over and faced her, "Your sister... Yi Jin'an, I didn't kill that fake Yi Jin'an!"

He thought he was angry with him because of Yi Jin'an's affairs?

Yi Jinning rolled his eyes at him, "I don't blame you, she deserves it!"
