Emperor Changxing had a look of panic on his face and hurriedly knelt down: "Father, I have absolutely no intention of doing this!"

"Look!" The Supreme Emperor said calmly as he asked someone to help him up, "I'm not talking angrily.

"It's true. Don't the imperial doctors also say that people of my age should pay attention to health care? A simple diet is more beneficial than delicacies from the mountains and seas.

“I already have a lot of clothes and I can’t wear them all, so why bother making new ones?
"And these concubines, their money for makeup can also be reduced by a few percent. I have long since lost all those extravagant thoughts. What do they do with dressing up every day?
“In this way, you can save a lot of money.

“In addition, Your Majesty, as the so-called increase in revenue and reduce expenditure, blind frugality cannot fundamentally solve the problem, you must also think about how to increase revenue.

"I am not asking you to increase taxes. You have just ascended the throne and it is not convenient for you to increase taxes.

"But we can also think of other ways. For example, think of ways in border trade.

"I am old and can't think of many. You young people have many ideas. Now that you have thought of it, you should try to do it. How will you know if it works if you don't try?
"Don't be afraid of making mistakes. Who hasn't grown up by stumbling?
"Furthermore, if you conduct repeated deductions before doing something, the possibility of failure will be greatly reduced."

Emperor Changxing repeatedly said so, "My father imparts a little experience, and my sons will benefit a lot."

"Alas," the Supreme Emperor waved his hand, "When people get old, they tend to nag and say whatever comes to mind. As long as it's useful, it's good!"

He glanced at Juncker and others who were standing below, "What are these people doing here? Are they here to pay my respects?"

Emperor Changxing had some doubts on his face and glanced at the eunuch serving the Supreme Emperor. The eunuch showed a bit of sadness on his face and shook his head slightly.

Emperor Changxing stated his intention again.

The Supreme Emperor nodded, "This is their intention, how can they refuse? They only do this because they have a place to live. If they don't have a place to live, they won't have such thoughts.

"Take your uncle for example. He lives with your Aunt Jingyang in the Princess's Mansion all the year round. The Zhenbei Hou Mansion is vacant. This is not good. They have to send people to take care of, clean and repair it, which is a huge sum of money. Small overhead.

"It would be better to return it to save trouble. Once it is in the hands of the court, we can make other arrangements.

"If you feel that you owe something, you can give him some compensation from other places!"

Emperor Changxing still looked embarrassed.

Juncker and others knelt down again: "Your Majesty, please grant me your sincerity!"

Before Emperor Changxing said anything, the Supreme Emperor should have said in confusion: "Why did you kneel down again? What day is it today? Why is the emperor here too? There is no court meeting today?"

Emperor Changxing was slightly startled and said hurriedly: "Father, I brought these people here to visit you. Just now they said they wanted to return to the mansion..."

"Oh oh oh," the Supreme Emperor nodded, "Ask them why. If they return it sincerely, then let's accept it.

"There is no shortage of places for them to live. If you feel that you can't bear it, just provide compensation from other places."

After talking for a while, I found that the Supreme Emperor was quite normal most of the time, but occasionally he would be confused.

Before leaving, Emperor Changxing called out the eunuch serving the Supreme Emperor: "Father, what's going on?"

The great eunuch looked sad, "Actually, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, has been in this situation for some time, but it was not serious at first..."
