Chapter 43 Grandfather, the Imperial College’s Chief Academic Officer Has Embezzled Money!

His grandson will ascend the throne in the future! ?

His Liu family will be the emperor's maternal family in the future!

From now on, under one family, above all other families! ?

Mr. Liu was so excited that he almost fell down, his old face flushed!

Ancestors, the Liu family has made progress!

Mr. Liu looked at his daughter, Concubine Liu, who was watering flowers on the windowsill, and then at his grandson Cheng Gan, who was holding the hand of the little princess and reading.

Oh my God, such a big happy event, only he knows it! ?

Neither the daughter nor the grandson can hear the voice of the granddaughter, and they don't know about this big happy event yet?

Oh my God, what a pity.

Such a surprise, no one can share it, no one can tell it, life... lonely as snow!

Mr. Liu was so sad that he wanted to fly back home immediately and tell his wife.

But when he couldn't help but feel happy, he heard his granddaughter with a tender face in the cradle sigh again, [Alas, but there is nothing to be happy about. Our Jing Kingdom is about to perish, and the national strength is only a fraction of Yuanmu Kingdom. ]

[My brother took over a mess. ]

The master of the Liu family is really up and down in a second.

He was dumbfounded.

His precious grandson will be the king of a fallen country in the future? !

What a joke!

Then it is better to give the crown prince to someone else!

It is clearly a hot potato!

[It is understandable that the country will perish. Our military is weak, the civil officials are not good, there are internal and external troubles, and there is no money. ]

[Many corrupt ministers are richer than my emperor father! For example, my grandfather's old boss, Xu Jijiu of the Imperial College, he alone embezzled a full million taels of silver and hid hundreds of precious calligraphy and paintings. Who could have thought...]

The master of the Liu family opened his mouth.

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince, who had been pretending to be calm, almost dropped the shower and book in their hands.

Xu Jijiu of the Imperial College, Mr. Liu's boss for more than three years, embezzled a million taels of silver?

Mr. Liu almost thought he had heard wrong.

He had never seen so much money in the Imperial College!

[There are too many parents in this world who are willing to give everything for their children. ]

[Many people gave money to Xu Jijiu. ]

Xiao Chuchu muttered as she thought about it. In the original novel, after Yuanmu invaded Jing, King Yuan found that Jing's treasury did not have much money, and he was very angry.

So King Yuan killed a wave of Jing's ministers to vent his anger.

As a result, the Jing ministers had unexpected surprises when their homes were confiscated.

Xu Jijiu of the Imperial College was one of them.

[The results of the confiscation of the home frightened King Yuan. Xu Jijiu usually lived in a clean style, simple in clothing and food, and spent all day in the bamboo garden at home, reciting poems and drinking tea. 】

【But who would have thought that in that bamboo garden, after pulling up the bamboo and digging up the soil, there were boxes of silver, porcelain, and jewelry underneath. The people who went to confiscate the house counted them for a whole day and counted out things worth a million taels! 】

Master Liu stretched out his hand, held the door frame, and walked into the inner room tremblingly.

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince woke up as if from a dream, and stood up to greet him.

"Father, you are back. Come on, serve tea quickly."

"Grandfather, are you in good health?"

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince's expressions were not very good. According to Chuchu, Master Liu used to work under such a corrupt person!

For more than three years, Master Liu didn't even find that the other party had any problems.

No wonder the emperor gave him the evaluation of being dull.

Master Liu used to praise Xu Jijiu for being friendly and doing things personally.

Concubine Liu and the fifth prince looked at Master Liu with very complicated expressions.

"All good, all good, how is the little princess?" Master Liu replied with a fake smile, his body already stiff.

His back was covered with sweat, what kind of people did he work with before!

Master Liu suppressed the turmoil in his heart, pricked up his ears, and unconsciously sat on the empty seat closest to the little princess's rocking chair.

As he sat down, he smelled a faint fragrance.

[Ding, Liu Wenchang has entered the fragrance range of your body. ]

[Liu Wenchang's intelligence is 61, and his intelligence has doubled, temporarily rising to 122. ]

Xiao Chuchu was stunned.

The system has been upgraded again?

There was no such reminder yesterday, but today she can actually see everyone's intelligence attributes after the skill is performed.

Grandfather's IQ is really... not high.

Just over 60 points.

Xiao Chuchu closed her eyes, and her black eyelashes trembled.

[Grandfather smelled the fragrance on my body, and now his intelligence has doubled. I hope Grandfather can notice that Xu Jijiu is greedy for money. 】

The old man of the Liu family was about to sit down when he paused.

The milky scent of his granddaughter can also make people smarter! ?

What kind of fairy is this reincarnation?

Amitabha!

Old man Liu couldn't help but get closer to his granddaughter's rocking bed.

Xiao Chuchu also kept muttering in her heart, [Although my grandfather is now an imperial censor and has been transferred from the Imperial College, he has worked with Xu Jijiu for three years. It seems that he would also go to his bamboo garden thatched cottage to drink tea? ]

[Maybe with a high IQ, my grandfather can find out that something is wrong under the thatched cottage. ]

[Ah, but my fragrance enhancement is only effective for one day. ]

Concubine Liu and the Fifth Prince looked nervously at Master Liu who was touching the daffodils on the table.

Concubine Liu took a deep breath and said after thinking, "Father, you have come back from suppressing the rebellion. In the eyes of others, you must be a big shot in front of the emperor. You are now at the center of the storm."

The Fifth Prince nodded secretly when he heard his mother say this.

Thinking about it, he also said, "Mother is right. I also heard the master in the study say last time that prosperity will inevitably decline."

Master Liu's mouth twitched.

Usually, he might not understand what his daughter and grandson said.

But now, he sat next to his granddaughter, Xiao Gege, and really felt that he had become smarter!

In an instant, he actually understood their hidden meaning, "Are you afraid that I will take all the credit for suppressing the rebellion this time, and my foundation in the court is unstable, and I will be feared by others?"

Concubine Liu took a deep breath. Her father really became smarter!

So, recently she felt that she could understand the book on weaving technology after reading it several times, and could draw inferences from it. Was it also due to her body fragrance?

Liupin was surprised and happy, "That's right, father. Our Liu family has no background in the court, and you can't do it alone."

The master of the Liu family slapped his thigh.

"I know, I will go to contact my old friends and superiors and drink more tea."

He was still thinking about how to find an excuse to visit his old boss Xu Jijiu and expose his corruption!

Now, the reason is here.

Master Liu smelled the faint fragrance of the little princess and instantly came up with a way to kill three birds with one stone. "Well, I will visit my old boss, Xu Jijiu, when I leave the palace later."

"First, let other people in the court see that I, Liu Wenchang, did not get carried away by my success and ignore others."

"Second, Prince Liao is plotting a rebellion and has asked a few scholars to give me advice. I will go to the Imperial College to talk to Xu Jijiu and ask him to tell his students to keep their integrity and not do anything disloyal or unjust."

"Third, Xu Jijiu had a great-grandson a while ago, and I missed the full moon ceremony outside. Now, it's a good time to visit him."

When Concubine Liu and the fifth prince heard this, their eyes lit up.

It's really as Chuchu said, Master Liu has become smarter!

They don't even need to point it out, just ask him to find Xu Jijiu, and he wants to go by himself!

"Well, father, this is a good idea." Concubine Liu praised immediately, "Let all officials know that you are not a petty person who tramples on officials just because you are a little successful."

"By the way, I heard that Xu Jijiu is also very close to several ministers." She stopped there.

Mr. Liu really understood the meaning and thought of the key.

Being close to people, could it be that he accepted money from those people?

Did the students enter the Imperial College by giving money to Xu Jijiu?

He was thinking about things, with a thoughtful and enlightened look on his face, which made Concubine Liu and the fifth prince feel relieved.

At lunch time, Emperor Xiao Yunzhou came and had lunch with them.

Xiao Yunzhou held Chuchu and walked around the room, but Chuchu had no choice but to toss for a whole morning, drawing lots and studying national strength, and was already tired and fell asleep.

Even the fragrance on her body was much lighter because it was contaminated by Concubine Liu, the fifth prince, and the master of the Liu family.

If you don't smell it carefully, you can't smell it.

"Your Majesty, the little princess is still growing." Concubine Liu was so distressed that she was afraid that the emperor would wake up his daughter if he wanted to hear her inner voice.

Xiao Yunzhou felt a little regretful, but looking at his daughter's rosy face, he couldn't bear to wake her up.

"Let her sleep. When she wakes up later, let the nanny bring her to my study."

As he said that, he ordered Wei Zheng, "Go get my mink cloak. When you take the little princess out in the future, wrap her up and don't let her catch a cold."

Wei Zheng hurriedly agreed.

The emperor stayed for a moment, then hurried away to deal with the follow-up of Prince Liao.

Master Liu also said goodbye to his daughter and grandson without stopping, and went straight home after leaving the palace.

In the front yard of the Liu family, Madam Liu was still drying corn, and he was urged by her continuously.

"Hurry up, prepare some gifts for me."

"I'm going to expose the corrupt ministers!"

Madam Liu was confused.

Master Liu still lived in a remote corner of the capital.

There are not many neighbors around.

However, he still went over and lowered his voice to speak to Old Lady Liu.

"Come with me to Xu Jijiu's house later, and tell him that you want to eat bamboo. Dig two bamboos from the bamboo garden."
