Chapter 2168： Wealthy idlers

Zhao Shu asked: "What did Ouyang and Lao Meng say?"

Zhao Yuanjing said, "They didn't say anything except for telling me to drink medicine. They only said that they didn't pay attention to maintenance after the winter, and they suffered a bit of wind and cold, which caused the previous symptoms."

As he said, he coughed twice again.

He doesn't care much about it himself, he's been this way since he was a child, and he's used to it.

That is to say, after encountering Yundai, the queen fell from power. He found the root of this illness and was treated by Ouyang for a few years before he recovered. Otherwise, they may not be able to live to this age.

Zhao Shu sighed, "You are a child with excellent roots. In the past few years... you have been killed by the first queen. I am also to blame for being outside and not seeing you."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said: "Even the emperor didn't notice it, so how about you, the little emperor? This matter has nothing to do with you, so don't blame yourself. Besides, I am very well now."

"The six yamen are all sealed off. In the next half a month, you don’t do anything, so you can rest and adjust your body. Although your cough is not serious, it will be troublesome if it stays lingering. ."

Zhao Yuanjing said with a smile: "The Queen said the same thing. It just happened to be the Chinese New Year. I have been busy for a year, and I have a few days off. Be a rich idler. I haven't been able to accompany the Queen well in the past few years, so I want to take her out. "

Zhao Shu didn't speak.

"At that time, I am afraid I will have to trouble the little emperor to look after the prince and princesses."

"This is a trivial matter." Zhao Shu said.

Zhao Yuanjing pushed a box next to his hand forward, and said, "I asked Xiaohuangshu to come over today, there is something for you. Open it and take a look."

Zhao Shu opened the box and saw a stack of silver bills neatly placed inside.

He frowned.

Zhao Yuanjing said: "This is two million taels of silver bills, which the little emperor took. Last year, the court spent a lot of money to fight the war. Thanks to the money that the little emperor changed from the seller, he was able to overcome the difficulties."

Zhao Shu shook his head: "Those money is not borrowed, but given to the court. I keep the money, and there is nothing to spend. It would be better to give the court where it should be used."

"No. The little emperor has been born and died for the court over the years, and he has made great contributions. I haven't rewarded the little emperor. I can't even take money from the little emperor's pocket to fill the shortfall of the court. This is not what it looks like."

Zhao Shu said: "Now the court has just been able to relax, and it is far from the time when Guotai Min'an. This money will be used by the state treasury first. The flooded areas in the south will be treated well. Flooding occurs every year, which is a big trouble. ."

"This part of the budget has been set aside."

Zhao Yuanjing smiled and said, "Actually, I don't have much. This is mainly the Queen's meaning. She said that she had borrowed the money from Xiaohuangshu. Since it was borrowed, she has to pay it back."

Zhao Shu was silent for a moment, and said: "If this is the case, the minister will put it away first. If you need it in the future, please come and get it at any time."

Zhao Yuanjing coughed in a low voice, gathered the Greatcloak, and said: "This is a young year. I don't have much to look at. It's rare to be free. Our uncle and nephew haven't played for a long time. Is the little emperor interested in having a game?"

"Great."

Zhao Shu went to sit opposite him and set up a chessboard.

In the past, the two of them often played against each other, playing on the chessboard in a dark and dark environment, and sometimes even quarreling.

Most of the time, poor Zhao Yuanjing would be crushed by Zhao Shu with force.

Of course, that was when Zhao Yuanjing was still the prince.

Now that he is an emperor, he can't do anything casually.

But Zhao Yuanjing still loses to Zhao Shu from time to time.
