Yan Song, Liu Ru, and two concubines sat at a table and started eating New Year's Eve dinner. Recently, Yan Song's attitude had become more and more like a spring breeze, so the two concubines also mustered up their courage to sit and play around like little girls. They weren't old, only around 20 years old. They had followed Yan Song for a few years, but they had always been timid and didn't have anything to be happy about. Now that Yan Song had let go, their little girl personalities had revived.
Not long after, the servants prepared firecrackers."Master, it's time to set off the firecrackers."
Yan Song smiled." You guys have fun. Have fun. Put whatever you want."”
"Thank you, Master!" The servants were beaming with joy.
The two concubines were eager to try. Yan Song shook his head and laughed."Go if you like, but be careful.”
"Thank you, Master." They brought their maids and ran out excitedly. Old Master's state surprised them.
Soon, crackling sounds could be heard in the courtyard.
"Bang bang bang ~~"
With a loud bang, countless fireworks appeared in the sky, incomparably brilliant and beautiful.
……
Naturally, there was no need to go to court during the Spring Festival. Everyone had a five-day holiday to visit their relatives and friends, pay their respects, and congratulate the new year.
However, on the first morning of the first day of the new year, Yan Song went to the Imperial Palace to pay his respects to the Emperor. Not only Yan Song, but there were also other officials. Naturally, they had to give gifts.
When Yan Song went to see the Emperor, he found that the palace had changed. It was newer, and there were new lanterns and red silk everywhere.
Yan Song shook his head. As expected, Jiajing had plundered some houses last year and gained nearly 1 million yuan. Now, he could not help but squander.
Emperor Jiajing was used to being poor. Now that he had a large sum of money, he began to spend like a nouveau riche.
Thinking of this, Yan Song couldn't help but frown. What if Jiajing was used to such squandering and suddenly ran out of silver in the palace treasury? Could it be that they were going to confiscate the house again?
He reckoned that this matter would fall on his head again.
……
In the royal study.
After all the ministers left, Jiajing looked at the gifts in front of him, his eyes uncertain.
"This minister's gift is very valuable. Why do I feel that the emperor is living a more pitiful life than them?”
As he thought about it, he felt depressed.
"I wonder if the Yan family has any ideas.”
After thinking for a night, Jiajing finally had a plan in his heart.
The next day, Yan Song was summoned to the palace.
Before Yan Song could speak, Emperor Jiajing spoke directly.
"Minister Yan, I have something to ask of you.”
Eh, this tone? It looked like he was pleading. It seemed that things were not easy.
Yan Song had a bad feeling.
"Your Majesty, please instruct me."
Emperor Jiajing pondered for a moment and said with some difficulty,""There's still a month before my longevity arrives. Logically speaking, it should be more than half. However, the palace is really short of money.“
Yan Song was dumbfounded.
Hearing Jiajing's tone, it seemed like he was going to hold a grand banquet, and there was no silver.
