He heard it.
This thought appeared in the minds of the group of people at the same time, and they couldn't help but panic.
"Master Liu, we..."
However, Liu Wenan looked at them casually and said, "You are right. The Empress is indeed just a princess of a concubine."
"But so what? You all have to kneel down to pay her respects, don't you? If she wants your lives... "
Liu Wenan smiled, "It's easy, isn't it?"
"Yes, yes, yes."
They lowered their heads and felt a little cold.
It was hot in June...
"Before gossiping behind people's back, you have to think about whether you can do that. If you can't, you'd better keep your mouth shut. "
"After all, misfortune might come from your words."
"Yes, Master Liu is right." They answered in succession.
Liu Wenan glanced at them and took two steps forward. When he arrived at the side of the Minister of Rites, he suddenly stopped and said, "Official Wu, you must have just been promoted to the position by his majesty, right?"
"Yes." Official Wu's hand in his sleeve suddenly trembled, and his lips also trembled. "Just half a year ago."
"Hm... Not long. " Liu Wenan smiled and said, "I've served in this palace for many years, and I've seen many changes of officials in this court. Some could hold his position for years, but some could only hold it for One month. "
"Official Wu, you are a smart man. I hope I can hold your position longer."
After saying that, Liu Wenan left with the servants.
Beads of sweat began to form on Offical Wu's forehead, but his back was cold. Only when the footsteps behind him faded away did he heaved a long sigh of relief.
"Official Wu..."
An official's voice came from behind. Official Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Shut up. Let's go back to the Ministry of Rites."
They didn't say anything and just walked along the long palace road towards the palace gate with their heads down.
Liu Wenan took the servants to the gate of the Taiji Palace and walked in with a smile.
Seeing that Yun Shang was sitting on the chair and looking at the folded pieces in her hands, he hurried forward to greet her, "Greetings, your majesty."
Yun Shang lifted her eyelids, "Why are you here alone? Where is his majesty? "
Naturally, the Ministry of Revenue would be annoyed if the Ministry of Rites spend money at random.
Yun Shang smiled, "You are quite right. I didn't think of this. I'm not the only one."
Yun Shang smiled and said, "Then ask the Ministry of Revenue to discuss how to hold the celebration for Wanshou Festival with the Ministry of Rites. Thank you for your advice... "
The method to keep balance had been applied since ancient times and was never out of date.
Seeing that Yun Shang understood, Liu Wenan smiled even more brightly. "I didn't do anything. Your majesty is so smart. They can quarrel with each other. In this way, your majesty don't have to offend them and they won't gossip about you. "
Hearing what Liu Wenan said, Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and thought about all the words Liu Wenan had said just now. She smiled and said, "What's wrong? Did you meet people from the Ministry of Rites on your way here? Did they gossip about me behind my back? "
Liu Wenan realized that he had made a slip of the tongue. He raised his hand and patted his mouth, "Oh, look at my mouth. I can't speak at all."
But he nodded honestly, "Yes, they did. I just heard it. I was so angry that I scolded them on the spot. "
"Your majesty is the apple of his Majesty's eye. How can they gossip? They are all not as smart as your majesty. "
"If your majesty is a man, you must be a man of power. How can they gossip about you?"
Hearing Liu Wenan's praise, Yun Shang couldn't help but chuckle.
Master Liu was getting more and more interesting.
