An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going, and An Zheng said "private matter" and left immediately. Chen Shaobai knew An Zheng's temper, and he couldn't keep up with it. An Zheng had been less impulsive recently, so he went to the agreed-upon inn to book a room for Qu Liuxi and the others.
The Yang family's mansion is located on Chengfeng Street in Jinling City, which is the most prosperous area in Jinling City. The mansion covers an area of more than a hundred acres, making the family even more powerful in a place like Jinling City where every inch of land is at a premium.
Chen Xiaochen paused and looked back at the guard: "I didn't expect that you are also a somewhat knowledgeable person. I know that you two are afraid, and I am afraid too. However, eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor. Since I When I put on this official uniform, I have to work for Da Xi, for His Majesty, and for the people of the world. There are more than 10 million hungry people and troops outside the city. I can't just watch them starve to death. I beg. I opened the city gate and was rejected three times in a row. All I can do is find another bite to eat for them.”
Principal Chen just couldn't get up, so he made up his mind to kowtow to Yang Huishan and said: "Sir, the students really have no choice now. If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
Some of the people at the lower level of the imperial government came from poor families, and the greater part were raised by people from major families. Once these big families say something, who of the petty officials will do anything
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families. This completely angered these powerful people, so much so that now the Holy Court can hardly function normally.
An Zheng followed Chen Xiaochen and found that the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War was really a poor guy. There were only two guards with him, and they looked more scared than him. Thinking about it, a person like Chen Xiaochen, who came from a poor family, had been working as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his salary was enough to support his family in the capital.
Yang Huishan has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for a long time. The Ministry of Hubu controls the country's economic lifeline, which shows the importance of the Yang family in Daxi. This man has disciples all over the world. Some people say that when he gives an order, one-fifth of the people in the officialdom will stand up and support him.
"Students know that sir's character must have been framed by villains. When students first met sir, they were impressed by his demeanor. He has worked hard in the Holy Court for many years, and students have seen it."
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
Outside the living room, Chen Xiaochen arranged his clothes again and then stepped in. On the main seat, the gray-haired Yang Huishan was sitting there waiting for him. Principal Chen walked over in three steps at a time, lifted up his robe and knelt down on the ground: "Student pays homage to Sir."
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
Chen Xiaochen walked to the door of Yang's house, arranged his clothes, and then handed it over with both hands.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
The Yang family's mansion is located on Chengfeng Street in Jinling City, which is the most prosperous area in Jinling City. The mansion covers an area of more than a hundred acres, making the family even more powerful in a place like Jinling City where every inch of land is at a premium.
Chen Xiaochen carried his clothes up the steps, thought about it, and then turned around and told Liu Lie to wait for him at the door. Liu Lie wanted to follow, but Principal Chen scolded him for not knowing the rules, so he had to wait outside the door. In fact, he knew very well that Principal Chen did not allow him to follow him in because he knew how dangerous it was inside.
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
"Who believes that stuff?"
"Pooh!"
"Bring me the knife!"
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Chen Xiaochen paused and looked back at the guard: "I didn't expect that you are also a somewhat knowledgeable person. I know that you two are afraid, and I am afraid too. However, eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor. Since I When I put on this official uniform, I have to work for Da Xi, for His Majesty, and for the people of the world. There are more than 10 million hungry people and troops outside the city. I can't just watch them starve to death. I beg. I opened the city gate and was rejected three times in a row. All I can do is find another bite to eat for them.”
Chen Xiaochen quickly explained: "Qianshan, you know me well. You and I have had many interactions in the past. You know that I am not that kind of person."
Yang Qiande walked up to Chen Xiaochen, leaned over and looked at him condescendingly: "You leave some vouchers, and we will give you food relief for the victims. It cannot be some paper vouchers, because those things are unreliable. People must see it at a glance, and it is true It’s what you, Master Chen, left behind.”
Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
Yang Huishan squinted his eyes and waved his hand: "Get up quickly, why should we be so indifferent between you and me?"
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Chen Xiaochen said quickly: "I am willing to write an IOU!"
Chen Xiaochen waved his hand: "You two, let's go. There is actually not much difference between you two and without you two. They won't be afraid just because I brought two guards. Let's go, let's all go." "
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
Outside the living room, Chen Xiaochen arranged his clothes again and then stepped in. On the main seat, the gray-haired Yang Huishan was sitting there waiting for him. Principal Chen walked over in three steps at a time, lifted up his robe and knelt down on the ground: "Student pays homage to Sir."

If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
"Wait a moment!"
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.

An Zheng followed Chen Xiaochen and found that the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War was really a poor guy. There were only two guards with him, and they looked more scared than him.

"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
The remaining one swallowed and gritted his teeth: "My subordinate Liu Lie has been with you since seven years ago. At that time, you were an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I will follow you. My duty is to protect you, and I can't leave you even an inch." ”
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Yang Huishan's youngest son, Yang Qiansheng, sneered: "You are really a villain. You were promoted directly from a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs to a third-rank minister in the Ministry of War. It can be said that you have soared into the sky. Why, now you have gained power. Are you here to show off your power to your husband?"
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
"Blood cannot stain my official uniform."
The servant took the name card and glanced at Chen Xiaochen, said nonchalantly, "Wait," then turned around and entered the door.
Chen Xiaochen carried his clothes up the steps, thought about it, and then turned around and told Liu Lie to wait for him at the door. Liu Lie wanted to follow, but Principal Chen scolded him for not knowing the rules, so he had to wait outside the door. In fact, he knew very well that Principal Chen did not allow him to follow him in because he knew how dangerous it was inside.
He raised his hand and took off Principal Chen's official hat and looked at it over and over: "The official hat of the third grade is so majestic... Oh, look, our Master Chen is in his forties too, right? My hair is pretty good, and it doesn’t seem to be losing hair on weekdays. Well, if you pluck out a strand of hair, I’ll give you a pound of grain. At any rate, we can get tens of thousands of pounds of grain. It’s obvious that you are bald when you go out and leave your hair at my house.”
Yang Qiansheng spat: "Communicating with you? Are you worthy? That's just a show. You have seen me so many times that even stray dogs on the street will wag their tails at me. I know that dog, and so does the dog. Me, does that mean I’m friends with my dog?”
"Please inform Mr. Yang that his student Chen Xiaochen wants to see you."
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
Liu Lie shook his head: "I feel at ease when I follow you, sir, and I won't lose sleep. Sir, let's go. Even the Yang family is just a gate of hell at most. Once we go in, I will still follow you."
Chen Xiaochen said quickly: "I am willing to write an IOU!"
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
Yang Qiande smiled and said: "Isn't it just food? If the Yang family tightens their belts, they can still save some."
"Blood cannot stain my official uniform."
Yang Huishan's face darkened: "You are here to question me, right? If Beishan Granary had not been short-sold, we would not be in the current situation. And as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I had no idea about the short-selling of the granary. Qing... Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"

Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"
Chen Xiaochen choked and turned around, but his steps became more determined.
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
Because Chen Wunuo got rid of some big families in Jinling City through An Zheng's troubles, they went through a period of dormancy, but with the rebellions in various places, their arrogant energy emerged again. Because they were sure that Chen Wunuo could not live without them. The more serious the rebellions in various places, the more Chen Wunuo needs them.
"Students know that sir's character must have been framed by villains. When students first met sir, they were impressed by his demeanor. He has worked hard in the Holy Court for many years, and students have seen it."
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.

Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
"Shut up!"
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.
Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly: "You are slandering! Private warehouse? Who dares to build a private warehouse behind the imperial court's back? That is a serious crime of treason! Chen Xiaochen, you are so ambitious, you actually framed your mentor like this! "
People like Chen Xiaochen are now an anomaly in the Holy Court. He is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of walking on the road to death.
Chen Xiaochen waved his hand: "You two, let's go. There is actually not much difference between you two and without you two. They won't be afraid just because I brought two guards. Let's go, let's all go." "
Yang Qiande shook his head: "No, no, no, Mr. Chen must have heard wrong. I said pulling out, not cutting. Pull it out one by one. If Mr. Chen is afraid of pain, then that's it. If I don't dare, I will I can help you.”
Chen Xiaochen straightened up suddenly: "Without a private warehouse, how could you possibly have tens of thousands of kilograms of grain?!"
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families. This completely angered these powerful people, so much so that now the Holy Court can hardly function normally.
The servant took the name card and glanced at Chen Xiaochen, said nonchalantly, "Wait," then turned around and entered the door.
"Chancellor, you are now the minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has so many things to do, how do you have time to see the teacher?"

"What do you want? As long as I have it, I'm willing to keep it."
Chen Xiaochen knelt down with a plop: "The student didn't dare. It's just that the student really had nothing to do, so he came to ask for help from the teacher. The student doesn't know many people in the Holy Court. After thinking about it, only the teacher can help me."

Principal Chen's expression changed: "Qianshan, what you said is a bit hurtful."
"He's the principal."
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
Yang Qiande shook his head: "No, no, no, Mr. Chen must have heard wrong. I said pulling out, not cutting. Pull it out one by one. If Mr. Chen is afraid of pain, then that's it. If I don't dare, I will I can help you.”
"I'm really sorry. I've hurt your pitiful self-esteem. For a person from a poor family like you, you care about your face the most, right? You'd better put away your self-esteem. My father doesn't need students like you. You don't need a gentleman like my father if you are so prosperous. You should get out. My Yang family is in a state of decline. How can we accommodate such a big shot like you?"
The servant took the name card and glanced at Chen Xiaochen, said nonchalantly, "Wait," then turned around and entered the door.

"He's the principal."
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
"I am no longer an official. I was dismissed from all official positions by His Majesty in a very disgraceful manner, which shows that I am a loser. What questions do you have to ask me? You have found the wrong person."
"He's the principal."

Yang Huishan squinted his eyes and waved his hand: "Get up quickly, why should we be so indifferent between you and me?"
"Sir, the student has no such intention. I just ask you to take a look at the tens of millions of hungry people outside the city. They are just one human life after another."
"Sir, the student has something that he can't solve, so he came here specifically to ask for advice."
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.
"What do you want? As long as I have it, I'm willing to keep it."

Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
Some of the people at the lower level of the imperial government came from poor families, and the greater part were raised by people from major families. Once these big families say something, who of the petty officials will do anything
Yang Huishan's youngest son, Yang Qiansheng, sneered: "You are really a villain. You were promoted directly from a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs to a third-rank minister in the Ministry of War. It can be said that you have soared into the sky. Why, now you have gained power. Are you here to show off your power to your husband?"
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.
Yang Qiande smiled even more proudly: "My Yang family has a lot of connections. Even if my family can't borrow it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me do the math for you. One pound of grain and porridge can make more than ten or two people. Ten people can drink a bowl. Tens of thousands of catties of food are needed by the victims outside. Since Mr. Chen is so loyal to the emperor, why don’t you give up your hair? "
"Chancellor, you are now the minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has so many things to do, how do you have time to see the teacher?"
Yang Qiansheng spat: "Communicating with you? Are you worthy? That's just a show. You have seen me so many times that even stray dogs on the street will wag their tails at me. I know that dog, and so does the dog. Me, does that mean I’m friends with my dog?”
Yang Qiande walked up to Chen Xiaochen, leaned over and looked at him condescendingly: "You leave some vouchers, and we will give you food relief for the victims. It cannot be some paper vouchers, because those things are unreliable. People must see it at a glance, and it is true It’s what you, Master Chen, left behind.”
"I am no longer an official. I was dismissed from all official positions by His Majesty in a very disgraceful manner, which shows that I am a loser. What questions do you have to ask me? You have found the wrong person."
"Sir, the student has something that he can't solve, so he came here specifically to ask for advice."
Yang Qiande smiled even more proudly: "My Yang family has a lot of connections. Even if my family can't borrow it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me do the math for you. One pound of grain and porridge can make more than ten or two people. Ten people can drink a bowl. Tens of thousands of catties of food are needed by the victims outside. Since Mr. Chen is so loyal to the emperor, why don’t you give up your hair? "
"Pooh!"
"I am no longer an official. I was dismissed from all official positions by His Majesty in a very disgraceful manner, which shows that I am a loser. What questions do you have to ask me? You have found the wrong person."
"Pooh!"
An Zheng followed Chen Xiaochen and found that the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War was really a poor guy. There were only two guards with him, and they looked more scared than him. Thinking about it, a person like Chen Xiaochen, who came from a poor family, had been working as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his salary was enough to support his family in the capital.
Chen Xiaochen straightened up suddenly: "Without a private warehouse, how could you possibly have tens of thousands of kilograms of grain?!"
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families. This completely angered these powerful people, so much so that now the Holy Court can hardly function normally.
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly: "You are slandering! Private warehouse? Who dares to build a private warehouse behind the imperial court's back? That is a serious crime of treason! Chen Xiaochen, you are so ambitious, you actually framed your mentor like this! "
"Students know that sir's character must have been framed by villains. When students first met sir, they were impressed by his demeanor. He has worked hard in the Holy Court for many years, and students have seen it."
Principal Chen just couldn't get up, so he made up his mind to kowtow to Yang Huishan and said: "Sir, the students really have no choice now. If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
"Sir, the student has no such intention. I just ask you to take a look at the tens of millions of hungry people outside the city. They are just one human life after another."
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
Chen Xiaochen paused and looked back at the guard: "I didn't expect that you are also a somewhat knowledgeable person. I know that you two are afraid, and I am afraid too. However, eating the emperor's salary means being loyal to the emperor. Since I When I put on this official uniform, I have to work for Da Xi, for His Majesty, and for the people of the world. There are more than 10 million hungry people and troops outside the city. I can't just watch them starve to death. I beg. I opened the city gate and was rejected three times in a row. All I can do is find another bite to eat for them.”
Yang Huishan's expression became slightly more relaxed, and he smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
"Chancellor, you are now the minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has so many things to do, how do you have time to see the teacher?"
After sorting out his words, Chen Xiaochen said: "Sir, you also know that there are tens of millions of refugees outside the city and two million troops. The daily expenses are really not a small amount. The national treasury is almost empty again. How to deal with this situation next? It’s a difficult situation, and the students have tried their best but can’t think of a solution.”
The remaining one swallowed and gritted his teeth: "My subordinate Liu Lie has been with you since seven years ago. At that time, you were an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I will follow you. My duty is to protect you, and I can't leave you even an inch." ”
An Zheng followed Chen Xiaochen and found that the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War was really a poor guy. There were only two guards with him, and they looked more scared than him. Thinking about it, a person like Chen Xiaochen, who came from a poor family, had been working as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his salary was enough to support his family in the capital.
An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going, and An Zheng said "private matter" and left immediately. Chen Shaobai knew An Zheng's temper, and he couldn't keep up with it. An Zheng had been less impulsive recently, so he went to the agreed-upon inn to book a room for Qu Liuxi and the others.

People like Chen Xiaochen are now an anomaly in the Holy Court. He is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of walking on the road to death.
Yang Qiansheng spat: "Communicating with you? Are you worthy? That's just a show. You have seen me so many times that even stray dogs on the street will wag their tails at me. I know that dog, and so does the dog. Me, does that mean I’m friends with my dog?”
Yang Huishan's face darkened: "You are here to question me, right? If Beishan Granary had not been short-sold, we would not be in the current situation. And as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I had no idea about the short-selling of the granary. Qing... Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"
Some of the people at the lower level of the imperial government came from poor families, and the greater part were raised by people from major families. Once these big families say something, who of the petty officials will do anything
Outside the living room, Chen Xiaochen arranged his clothes again and then stepped in. On the main seat, the gray-haired Yang Huishan was sitting there waiting for him. Principal Chen walked over in three steps at a time, lifted up his robe and knelt down on the ground: "Student pays homage to Sir."
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families. This completely angered these powerful people, so much so that now the Holy Court can hardly function normally.
Chen Xiaochen knelt down with a plop: "The student didn't dare. It's just that the student really had nothing to do, so he came to ask for help from the teacher. The student doesn't know many people in the Holy Court. After thinking about it, only the teacher can help me."
Because Chen Wunuo got rid of some big families in Jinling City through An Zheng's troubles, they went through a period of dormancy, but with the rebellions in various places, their arrogant energy emerged again. Because they were sure that Chen Wunuo could not live without them. The more serious the rebellions in various places, the more Chen Wunuo needs them.
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.

It cannot be some paper vouchers, because those things are unreliable. People must see it at a glance, and it is true It’s what you, Master Chen, left behind.”
The Yang family's mansion is located on Chengfeng Street in Jinling City, which is the most prosperous area in Jinling City. The mansion covers an area of more than a hundred acres, making the family even more powerful in a place like Jinling City where every inch of land is at a premium.
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiaochen quickly explained: "Qianshan, you know me well. You and I have had many interactions in the past. You know that I am not that kind of person."
The remaining one swallowed and gritted his teeth: "My subordinate Liu Lie has been with you since seven years ago. At that time, you were an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and I will follow you. My duty is to protect you, and I can't leave you even an inch." ”
Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
Yang Huishan's eldest son Yang Qiande stood up with a smile: "Although my family does not have a private warehouse, we still have some food. Since Mr. Chen is so considerate of the hungry people, we are also willing to give some food to the victims. However, we cannot give it away in vain. , hundreds of people in my Yang family also need to eat. If Mr. Chen refuses to pay it back to us, won’t we be the ones who starve to death in the future?”
Yang Huishan squinted his eyes and waved his hand: "Get up quickly, why should we be so indifferent between you and me?"
Principal Chen just couldn't get up, so he made up his mind to kowtow to Yang Huishan and said: "Sir, the students really have no choice now. If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
"I'm really sorry. I've hurt your pitiful self-esteem. For a person from a poor family like you, you care about your face the most, right? You'd better put away your self-esteem. My father doesn't need students like you. You don't need a gentleman like my father if you are so prosperous. You should get out. My Yang family is in a state of decline. How can we accommodate such a big shot like you?"
Yang Huishan's eldest son Yang Qiande stood up with a smile: "Although my family does not have a private warehouse, we still have some food. Since Mr. Chen is so considerate of the hungry people, we are also willing to give some food to the victims.

"Pooh!"
"Bring me the knife!"
Yang Huishan's face darkened: "You are here to question me, right? If Beishan Granary had not been short-sold, we would not be in the current situation. And as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I had no idea about the short-selling of the granary. Qing... Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"
Chen Xiaochen carried his clothes up the steps, thought about it, and then turned around and told Liu Lie to wait for him at the door. Liu Lie wanted to follow, but Principal Chen scolded him for not knowing the rules, so he had to wait outside the door. In fact, he knew very well that Principal Chen did not allow him to follow him in because he knew how dangerous it was inside.
People like Chen Xiaochen are now an anomaly in the Holy Court. He is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of walking on the road to death.
Not long after, the servant came out and glanced at Chen Xiaochen: "Go in, my master is waiting for you in the living room."
Chen Xiaochen knelt down with a plop: "The student didn't dare. It's just that the student really had nothing to do, so he came to ask for help from the teacher. The student doesn't know many people in the Holy Court. After thinking about it, only the teacher can help me."

"What do you want? As long as I have it, I'm willing to keep it."
"Please inform Mr. Yang that his student Chen Xiaochen wants to see you."
Chen Xiaochen shouted loudly: "I will cut it off to you now!"
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
Chen Xiaochen walked to the door of Yang's house, arranged his clothes, and then handed it over with both hands.
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.
Principal Chen's expression changed: "Qianshan, what you said is a bit hurtful."
An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going, and An Zheng said "private matter" and left immediately. Chen Shaobai knew An Zheng's temper, and he couldn't keep up with it. An Zheng had been less impulsive recently, so he went to the agreed-upon inn to book a room for Qu Liuxi and the others.
"Chancellor, you are now the minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has so many things to do, how do you have time to see the teacher?"
Yang Qiande smiled even more proudly: "My Yang family has a lot of connections. Even if my family can't borrow it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me do the math for you.

Since Mr. Chen is so loyal to the emperor, why don’t you give up your hair? "
The guard who spoke before was silent for a while, then clasped his fists, turned around and ran away.
Yang Huishan has been the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for a long time. The Ministry of Hubu controls the country's economic lifeline, which shows the importance of the Yang family in Daxi. This man has disciples all over the world. Some people say that when he gives an order, one-fifth of the people in the officialdom will stand up and support him.
Yang Huishan's eldest son Yang Qiande stood up with a smile: "Although my family does not have a private warehouse, we still have some food.

Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"
"Shut up!"
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly: "You are slandering! Private warehouse? Who dares to build a private warehouse behind the imperial court's back? That is a serious crime of treason! Chen Xiaochen, you are so ambitious, you actually framed your mentor like this! "
"Students know that sir's character must have been framed by villains. When students first met sir, they were impressed by his demeanor. He has worked hard in the Holy Court for many years, and students have seen it."
Chen Xiaochen waved his hand: "You two, let's go. There is actually not much difference between you two and without you two. They won't be afraid just because I brought two guards. Let's go, let's all go." "
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going, and An Zheng said "private matter" and left immediately. Chen Shaobai knew An Zheng's temper, and he couldn't keep up with it. An Zheng had been less impulsive recently, so he went to the agreed-upon inn to book a room for Qu Liuxi and the others.
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
Some of the people at the lower level of the imperial government came from poor families, and the greater part were raised by people from major families. Once these big families say something, who of the petty officials will do anything
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families.

Yang Huishan's expression became slightly more relaxed, and he smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
However, after Chen Wunuo came back from the Immortal Palace a few days ago, he dismissed more than two-thirds of the officials in the Holy Court in one go, and those who were promoted were all people from poor families. This completely angered these powerful people, so much so that now the Holy Court can hardly function normally.
Yang Qiande smiled and said: "Isn't it just food? If the Yang family tightens their belts, they can still save some."
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
Chen Xiaochen said quickly: "I am willing to write an IOU!"
People like Chen Xiaochen are now an anomaly in the Holy Court. He is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of walking on the road to death.
Principal Chen just couldn't get up, so he made up his mind to kowtow to Yang Huishan and said: "Sir, the students really have no choice now. If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
He raised his hand and took off Principal Chen's official hat and looked at it over and over: "The official hat of the third grade is so majestic... Oh, look, our Master Chen is in his forties too, right? My hair is pretty good, and it doesn’t seem to be losing hair on weekdays. Well, if you pluck out a strand of hair, I’ll give you a pound of grain. At any rate, we can get tens of thousands of pounds of grain. It’s obvious that you are bald when you go out and leave your hair at my house.”
Chen Xiaochen carried his clothes up the steps, thought about it, and then turned around and told Liu Lie to wait for him at the door. Liu Lie wanted to follow, but Principal Chen scolded him for not knowing the rules, so he had to wait outside the door. In fact, he knew very well that Principal Chen did not allow him to follow him in because he knew how dangerous it was inside.
Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
He raised his hand and took off Principal Chen's official hat and looked at it over and over: "The official hat of the third grade is so majestic... Oh, look, our Master Chen is in his forties too, right? My hair is pretty good, and it doesn’t seem to be losing hair on weekdays. Well, if you pluck out a strand of hair, I’ll give you a pound of grain. At any rate, we can get tens of thousands of pounds of grain. It’s obvious that you are bald when you go out and leave your hair at my house.”
Chen Xiaochen waved his hand: "You two, let's go. There is actually not much difference between you two and without you two. They won't be afraid just because I brought two guards. Let's go, let's all go." "
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
Principal Chen just couldn't get up, so he made up his mind to kowtow to Yang Huishan and said: "Sir, the students really have no choice now. If possible, please open the private warehouse, and I will borrow some grain from you to appease the people outside." Victims of the disaster. When there is a good harvest next year, I will return double the amount to you."
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
Not long after, the servant came out and glanced at Chen Xiaochen: "Go in, my master is waiting for you in the living room."
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
Yang Qiansheng stood up abruptly: "You are slandering! Private warehouse? Who dares to build a private warehouse behind the imperial court's back? That is a serious crime of treason! Chen Xiaochen, you are so ambitious, you actually framed your mentor like this! "
Chen Xiaochen straightened up suddenly: "Without a private warehouse, how could you possibly have tens of thousands of kilograms of grain?!"
Chen Xiaochen said quickly: "I am willing to write an IOU!"
Yang Qiande smiled and said: "Isn't it just food? If the Yang family tightens their belts, they can still save some."
Yang Qiande walked up to Chen Xiaochen, leaned over and looked at him condescendingly: "You leave some vouchers, and we will give you food relief for the victims. It cannot be some paper vouchers, because those things are unreliable. People must see it at a glance, and it is true It’s what you, Master Chen, left behind.”
"Pooh!"
Yang Huishan's face darkened: "You are here to question me, right? If Beishan Granary had not been short-sold, we would not be in the current situation. And as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, I had no idea about the short-selling of the granary. Qing... Chen Xiaochen, are you here to question me on His Majesty's orders, or are you here to slap me in the face as the Minister of War?"
"Sir, the student has no such intention. I just ask you to take a look at the tens of millions of hungry people outside the city. They are just one human life after another."
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
"Who believes that stuff?"
Yang Qiande smiled even more proudly: "My Yang family has a lot of connections. Even if my family can't borrow it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me do the math for you. One pound of grain and porridge can make more than ten or two people. Ten people can drink a bowl. Tens of thousands of catties of food are needed by the victims outside. Since Mr. Chen is so loyal to the emperor, why don’t you give up your hair? "
Yang Huishan's expression became slightly more relaxed, and he smiled and said, "If you have anything to ask, just tell me."
The Yang family's mansion is located on Chengfeng Street in Jinling City, which is the most prosperous area in Jinling City. The mansion covers an area of more than a hundred acres, making the family even more powerful in a place like Jinling City where every inch of land is at a premium.
Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
"Bring me the knife!"
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn. Chen Shaobai asked An Zheng where he was going, and An Zheng said "private matter" and left immediately. Chen Shaobai knew An Zheng's temper, and he couldn't keep up with it. An Zheng had been less impulsive recently, so he went to the agreed-upon inn to book a room for Qu Liuxi and the others.
Liu Lie shook his head: "I feel at ease when I follow you, sir, and I won't lose sleep. Sir, let's go. Even the Yang family is just a gate of hell at most. Once we go in, I will still follow you."
Although it is a bit exaggerated, the influence of this person is still evident.
People like Chen Xiaochen are now an anomaly in the Holy Court. He is afraid of death, but he is not afraid of walking on the road to death.
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
Chen Xiaochen shouted loudly: "I will cut it off to you now!"
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
An Zheng found Chen Shaobai who was waiting for support outside and told him in a low voice that he would leave for a while and let Chen Shaobai arrange the inn.

"Sir, the student has no such intention. I just ask you to take a look at the tens of millions of hungry people outside the city. They are just one human life after another."
"Chancellor, you are now the minister of the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War has so many things to do, how do you have time to see the teacher?"
A guard said tremblingly: "That is the Yang family, a land of tigers and wolves. His Majesty just demoted a large number of people from these wealthy families a while ago, and appointed good officials like you who work wholeheartedly for Da Xi, but this angered those people. People. If you want to ask for food now, they will never treat you well. "
Chen Xiaochen knelt down with a plop: "The student didn't dare. It's just that the student really had nothing to do, so he came to ask for help from the teacher. The student doesn't know many people in the Holy Court. After thinking about it, only the teacher can help me."
An Zheng followed Chen Xiaochen and found that the newly promoted minister of the Ministry of War was really a poor guy. There were only two guards with him, and they looked more scared than him. Thinking about it, a person like Chen Xiaochen, who came from a poor family, had been working as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and his salary was enough to support his family in the capital.
"Who believes that stuff?"
Yang Qiande shook his head: "No, no, no, Mr. Chen must have heard wrong. I said pulling out, not cutting. Pull it out one by one. If Mr. Chen is afraid of pain, then that's it. If I don't dare, I will I can help you.”
Chen Xiaochen shouted loudly: "I will cut it off to you now!"
Principal Chen was startled, feeling annoyed and regretful in his heart. How could I forget it? No big family would admit to building private warehouses to store grain. This is treason, and once confirmed, the family will be destroyed.
"Sir...Sir, why don't we go?"
Chen Xiaochen knelt down with a plop: "The student didn't dare. It's just that the student really had nothing to do, so he came to ask for help from the teacher. The student doesn't know many people in the Holy Court. After thinking about it, only the teacher can help me."
Chen Xiaochen said quickly: "I am willing to write an IOU!"
Chen Xiaochen quickly explained: "Qianshan, you know me well. You and I have had many interactions in the past. You know that I am not that kind of person."
Chen Xiaochen's eyes turned red: "Actually, you have wronged you by following me. In the past seven years, if you had followed those officials who came from wealthy families, you might have become famous."
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
Yang Qiande smiled even more proudly: "My Yang family has a lot of connections. Even if my family can't borrow it, I can still borrow it for you. Let me do the math for you. One pound of grain and porridge can make more than ten or two people. Ten people can drink a bowl. Tens of thousands of catties of food are needed by the victims outside.

Yang Qiansheng said: "It's none of my business. No one in my Yang family is an official anymore, and this matter is not our responsibility. Get out of here, or I'll have you beaten out."
"Blood cannot stain my official uniform."
"Not only do you have it, you also have a lot."
Chen Xiaochen waved his hand: "You two, let's go. There is actually not much difference between you two and without you two. They won't be afraid just because I brought two guards. Let's go, let's all go." "
Chen Xiaochen's face kept changing, and he suddenly stood up, took off his official uniform, and folded it neatly.
He looked at Yang Qiande: "I'll do it myself, I won't bother you to do it!"
"Wait a moment!"
Chen Xiaochen stood up and found that there were many people from the Yang family sitting around, but there was no empty seat for him. He had to stand there, feeling a little embarrassed.
Yang Qiande shook his head: "No, no, no, Mr. Chen must have heard wrong. I said pulling out, not cutting. Pull it out one by one. If Mr. Chen is afraid of pain, then that's it. If I don't dare, I will I can help you.”
