The fragrance spreads into the nose.

Han Mo did not hesitate at all and immediately replied: "My impulsive heart has disappeared before, so he is not impulsive now!"

"Oh!" Princess Xiu's eyes flashed with strange colors, staring at Han Mo and said, "So you are still a gentleman!"

Han Mo shook his head and said calmly: "Everyone is a flesh and blood body, and seven emotions and six desires are inevitable. But this time I asked His Royal Highness the Princess to meet him. I only thought about one thing in my heart, and I just wanted to do my own thing well, so I focused on it!"

Princess Xiu smiled charmingly and said softly: "Birth, old age, illness, death, meeting with enemies and hatreds, separation from love, not seeking, the troubles in the world are always more than joy."

"What the princess said!"

Han Mo replied, his eyes accidentally swept over the two palace maids who were massaged by Princess Xiu. This sweep almost made him sweat in a cold sweat. He clearly saw that the two so-called "palace maids" had slightly raised throats, and they had Adam's apples.

Looking at the "palace maid" dressed in palace maids' clothing and the face was painted like a monkey's butt, Han Mo almost vomited it out.

These two "palace maids" were actually dressed up by men.

"Director Han, what's the matter with you coming to see me?" Princess Xiu started to do it lazily, stretched her waist, and the two beautiful balls on her chest were even more amazingly proud, and the grape-like highlight was also bulging, extremely conspicuous.

Han Mo said calmly: "I am here to get the money!"

"Take the money?"

"Yes!" Han Mo said: "I have calculated that the salary and messy expenses of Xihua Hall for three years are totaling 2,300 taels, so I come and get them back."

Princess Xiu was not surprised, but smiled even more charmingly: "Director Han is here for this little thing?"

"I don't think this is a trivial matter. It's a matter of loyalty to the emperor, and eating the king's salary. Everyone from top to bottom of the West Flower Hall is loyal to the emperor, so letting everyone have a full meal is also the duty of the court. I just do things according to the court's rules." Han Mo stared at Princess Xiu's beautiful face full of mature charm and said with a smile.

Princess Xiu giggled and said, "It seems that Director Han is really a competent official. Before you, the Director of Xihua Hall did not devote so much effort to serve their subordinates."

Han Mo kept a smile and said, "I am grateful to the emperor for being kind to the emperor. If I get this job, I will naturally do everything well. Only in that way can I not let down the emperor’s favor and the position of the director."

Princess Xiu's beautiful eyes flowed and she said softly: "It seems that Director Han is really a loyal minister of our Yan State." She paused and shook her head gently and said: "It's just that Director Han is not the time to come!"

"Oh!" Han Mo's expression remained unchanged: "The princess's words must have profound meanings. Please give me some advice!"

Princess Xiu said quietly: "The salary in Xihua Hall is indeed issued by the inner treasury. There was no mistake at all, but... but... I have done too many things in the inner treasury in the past few years, and the silver in the inner treasury was spent like flowing water. It was okay to spend some money, after all, the inner treasury always had inputs. In the eyes of outsiders, officials, businessmen, prefectures and counties, and foreign congratulations silver, seem to have a lot of money in the inner treasury. In fact, they don't understand that over the years, the inner treasury has become tighter and less than enough money. Although there is still some money, the thousand words in the palace always have to eat. Not to mention the salary of the palace maids and eunuchs, just about the expenses of the empresses, the inner treasury sometimes cannot afford it, but I am responsible for the position of the general manager of the inner treasury and cannot ignore it. It's really a dilemma... Alas, I sometimes don't want the inner treasury!"

Han Mo just listened to the previous words and thought it was nonsense, but the last sentence really made his heart beat. This was really shocking.

He glanced at Princess Xiu's legs quietly, tightly wrapped in black, and he couldn't tell whether there were so-called "underwear" inside!

"Princess, take care of yourself!" Han Mo responded.

Princess Xiu smiled softly and continued: "Actually, I have deducted the salary from the East Flower Hall for a while. You have few people in the West Flower Hall, so I am sometimes neglected...!"

"What the princess said is very true. The princess is busy with all kinds of things and cannot remember them. It is normal for human beings to come here to remind the princess that there is still this matter. The Xihua Hall is a secret servant in the end, and the people inside are all loyal ministers who are loyal to the emperor. It doesn't matter if they can't remember them occasionally, but they can't think they don't exist. In this way, everyone always feels cold!" Han Mo said calmly, looking at Princess Xiu's charming eyes without any concessions.

Several tall and large plump female guards in the room were wearing waist knives, all looking at Han Mo tightly. However, the two feminine male servants gave Han Mo a few glances inadvertently. In their eyes, Han Mo was really an ignorant man.

"Han Mo, you don't understand. After Bozhou County suppressed the rebellion, the emperor drew a lot of silver from the inner treasury to reward meritorious officials. Now the inner treasury is even more nervous. I'm afraid there is some difficulty in the two thousand taels of silver in Xihua Hall...!" Princess Xiu seemed a little embarrassed.

Han Mo did not hesitate at all because of Princess Xiu's embarrassing expression, and said clearly and clearly: "Your Highness, the salary of the West Flower Hall has reached the time when it must be distributed. The West Flower Hall has been waiting for three years and there is no time to wait any longer."

Princess Xiu frowned slightly and stared at Han Mo and said, "Han Mo, I don't like you to speak like this."

"The loyal words are unpleasant, and they have been there since ancient times." Han Mo said calmly: "I came here this time just to get the money I deserved from the West Flower Hall, and I also have to report to His Royal Highness the Princess that the West Flower Hall has three hundred people. I have received the holy grace and dare not slacken. I will definitely fill the staff as soon as possible. Therefore, I hope that the princess can pay the actual staff to our West Flower Hall on time in the future."

"What if I say there is no?" Princess Xiu sighed quietly and asked at Han Mo.

"Since the Xihua Hall is the yamen institution of the Yan State, it is the official agency of the country before the emperor explicitly ordered the abolition." Han Mo said calmly: "If the inner treasury cannot pay the money, I will apply for the cabinet, and the cabinet will negotiate, and the Ministry of Revenue will issue the money of the Xihua Hall in the future!"

Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in her beautiful eyes.

Han Mo said this sentence lightly, but how could Princess Xiu not know the weight of it?

...

The flower hall received the salary from the inner treasury, which means that the emperor used his own money to raise the flower hall, thus ensuring absolute independence. Because of this, the cabinet and the aristocratic forces could not be inserted in at all.

The power of aristocratic families is everywhere in Yan State, and there are shadows of aristocratic families in almost every corner. As for Yanjing City, the capital of Yan State, the shadows of aristocratic families are everywhere.

The authority of the emperor today is actually a big deal in the eyes of the aristocratic families, no more than in the early days of the founding of the Yan State.

When the Yan State was first established, although King Wu of Yan relied on the power of aristocratic families to establish the country, he was a monarch of a great generation and was issued too many measures to suppress the power of aristocratic families in order to guard against the threat of the power of the aristocratic families. His measures did suppress the power of the aristocratic families. Therefore, for decades of the founding of the country, the imperial power was the only one who was in control of the aristocratic families.

However, Yan State started with aristocratic families, and the foundation of the aristocratic families was deeply rooted. Although the emperor was determined to attack, the entire Yan State was actually a mountain with aristocratic families as its foundation. Without peerless talents, it was difficult to get along with the method of eliminating the aristocratic families without causing the Yan State to collapse. Although King Wu of Yan had this talent and was gradually implementing his inner methods after ascending the throne, such political changes could never be completed in a short period of time. Although he was in power for eleven years, he only started and died without achieving his long-cherished wish.

The successor king did not have the peerless talent of King Wu of Yan. The political reform was not strongly continued, and the forces that were once suppressed were restored to death. The internal and external troubles of Yan State made Yan State begin to rely on the forces of the aristocratic families to stabilize the foundation of the country, resist the enemy country outside and suppress bandits inside. The aristocratic families quickly rose up with the help of these factors. By the time of the late emperor, the power of the aristocratic families had reached its peak, and the establishment of the cabinet system made the power of the aristocratic families overwhelmed the imperial power.

Today's imperial power actually does not have much deterrence to the aristocratic families. The royal family can be safely superior, but only internal and external reasons.

The internal reason is that the royal family also controls two powerful forces.

First, the Imperial Guards, the five major Imperial Guards in Yanjing, are strong in soldiers and horses, good at fighting, and well-equipped. Although there must be no less power from aristocratic families in the middle, overall, they are still the most powerful military force that the royal family relies on the most.

The second is the Dark Institution Flower Hall that no force can penetrate the power of any aristocratic family. From a certain level of consciousness, the Dark Flower Hall is an absolute force that the royal family regards as the pearl in their palms.

As for external factors, it is even more simple. Aristocratic families fight each other, restrain each other, and cheat each other, and cannot be unified. In this case, in order to protect their own interests, they will naturally show awe of the imperial power on the surface.

Despite this, the weak imperial power and the strong power of the aristocratic family have become an undisputed fact that the Yan State has not to be argued about.

Whether it is the West Flower Hall or the East Flower Hall, they are all institutions that receive wages from the inner treasury, that is, the emperor's private institutions, which are completely obeying the emperor and serving the royal family's rule.

Han Mo immediately said that he would report to the cabinet and collect money from the Ministry of Revenue. Once it became a fact, the Xihua Hall would fall from the emperor to the cabinet, that is, to the aristocratic family, and thus become part of the aristocratic family's power. Such a good thing would naturally be unlucky, and the cabinet would like to support it.

Although Xihua Hall is vulnerable now, as long as it has support, it will soon grow and grow legitimately.

After all, nominally, all the kings under the world are kings, and all the kings are kings. All the institutions of Yan State belong to the emperor's subordinates. In name, whether in the flower hall, the Ministry of Revenue or even the cabinet, they are institutions ruled by the emperor. In this way, the inner treasury and the Ministry of Revenue are also royal institutions. No matter where the West Flower Hall receives the salary, they are nominally the salary of the king.

How could Princess Xiu not understand the meaning of it? So as soon as Han Mo said that, a strange color flashed in her eyes, with anger, surprise, and even a hint of murderous intent.

In her opinion, such an idea was definitely not something that a young official like Han Mo could think of. It was probably a solution discussed by the upper class of the Han family, but she was just wrong. This attention was just that Han Mo had a little understanding of the situation of the Ministry of Revenue and the Inner Trust, and had thought it out without much effort.

Princess Xiu quickly laughed and said, "Director Han is threatening me?"

"I dare not!" Han Mo said seriously: "I just feel that to be loyal to the emperor, one must live a life of talents. If all starve to death, how can I talk about loyalty to the emperor and serving the country?" He bent down and said: "If I have any inappropriate words, I will ask the princess to surrender to the palace. The words I have made have been completed, so please retreat to the princess!"

"Are you leaving?" Princess Xiu blinked and said softly.

"After I surrender, I will wait in Xihua Hall for the princess to send someone to send money to the money..." Han Mo said lightly: "If the princess is punished, I will wait in Xihua Hall for the will of the emperor to remove the position of director!" He bowed deeply again and then slowly retreated. Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the sexy body wrapped in black stockings.

After Han Mo retreated, Princess Xiu sighed softly, lay down again, closed her eyes, as if she was thinking about something.

The male servant next to Princess Xiu said in a strange voice: "Princess, Han Mo is too rude. He is just a dog under the princess. How dare he be so arrogant!"

Princess Xiu didn't even open her eyes, but said lightly: "Get him a tongue knife!"

A female guard in red armor immediately took out a curved knife and threw it next to the male servant.

The male servant immediately understood something, knelt down on the ground, and cried: "Princess, the villain is speechless... Princess, please spare your life, the princess, please spare your life, the little one will never dare to do it again!"

"Your tongue is not for speaking, since you have said it, there is no need to stay." Princess Xiu still closed her beautiful eyes and her voice was calm: "You don't even have the qualification to let him take a look at the person you scolded!"

The male servant knew that it was useless to ask for it again, so he trembledly picked up the tongue knife, stretched out his tongue, and pointed the blade at his tongue. In horror, his hands trembled, but he finally cut it hard.

A scream, blood splattering, it looks so beautiful!
