Chapter 60

"Draft?"

Emperor Qin Cang raised his eyes and asked the eunuch who came to pass the message.

"Report to the emperor, the Empress Dowager's meaning is that, firstly, there is no understanding concubine in this harem, who can relieve the emperor's worries. Secondly, you have few children under your knees, so you should think about the country."

"I understand, go back to the Queen Mother, I will consider it."

The emperor frowned slightly, looked at the memorials stacked like mountains on the table, and sighed. The Empress Dowager was very reasonable, but how could he have the intention now?

He had just punished Concubine Jing, and the Secretary-General Wei Kang said that he had not been to court for several days in a row. No one had to sort out these memorials, and all the major and minor matters were piled up in front of his case.

When the morning came, Song Zhang, the magistrate of the northwest, rushed to send news that there was no snow last winter and no rain in spring. Seeing that the drought was approaching, the people now have become a problem for drinking water and the grain will not be harvested.

Qin Cang mentioned this matter to the court officials during the morning court.

But the Minister of Revenue, Shao Zimin, who was promoted by Wei Kang, actually knelt down on the ground with a thunderous voice and cried, "Emperor! The national treasury has been empty for years, and there is really no money to buy grain to provide disaster relief! I am so embarrassed, I am so happy that I can turn the money out..."

Wei Kang seemed to be trying to use this method to tell the emperor that he would severely punish his daughter Wei Jingshu, so he quit.

These things made him, the emperor, feel a headache.

People in the world only know that the Supreme Lord of Nine Five has the right to kill and kill, but who can understand that the front harem and the harem of the front harem can move the whole body, and he is unable to do anything in the middle!

Originally, he had a long-standing Prime Minister He who was good at dancing, but he sent Prime Minister He to Yanjing to build a canal three months ago. Now it is really beyond the reach.

Qin Cang gritted his teeth, "What a great Wei Kang!"

At this time, the Secretariat Wei Kang, who was hated by the emperor, was fishing leisurely in his back garden.

He stared at the undulating fish floating on the water without blinking, and said lightly to the chief of the mansion,

"The northwest is severe drought? I see the northwest magistrate Song Zhang, but it's my timely rain! As soon as he delivered his memorial, the emperor was even more worried, and there were more places to use his official position. The emperor was so wise, so naturally he would not make things difficult for Jingshu anymore."

"Sir, you are so scheming! The emperor knows the importance of you when you are sick! Of course, you can also understand that for so many years, you have not relied on you, so you can be so leisurely!"

Wei Kang curled the corners of his lips and smiled proudly.

He experienced three emperors of the Dashun Dynasty and was well versed in the way of becoming an official. In his opinion, this little thing was nothing.

"You don't have to flatter me here. Jingshu is right. It is indeed not easy for the second prince to sit in that position without the support of the general behind him. You might as well think about how he ruined the engagement between the eldest lady of the Yun family and the prince!"

"Yes! Yes! The villain follows the instructions of the master!" The chief responded quickly.

Wei Kang waved his hand indifferently, "Okay, go back, don't block me from fishing!"

Anyway, the emperor has issued a ban on the matter at the Spring Flower Banquet, and no one is allowed to discuss it. The second prince's reputation is not damaged. After a while, the two girls, Xincheng and An Yi, are both innocent girls, and their good stubble are waiting.

He pretended to be sick and had a lot of fun, but he didn't expect an uninvited guest to suddenly come to the mansion.

"Mr. Wei, I'm so happy!"

A cold sound came out of nowhere, causing Wei Kang to tremble. His hand slipped, alarming the fish that was biting the hook. The best fish food was wasted.

Wei Kang was angry. He threw down the fishing rod and looked back. He saw Qin Xuanling wearing black clothes standing behind him.

The breeze blew, and the wide clothes made him look more and more tall, and his straight body was as tough as bamboos beside him.

Looking up, the sharp peach blossom eyes were like ice and frost, like a cold pool, making people feel cold all over and dare not look directly at them.

"Your Highness Xuan? I don't know if you are here, but I am missing the welcome..."

Wei Kang hurriedly stood up to salute, but his heart was stunned. He and the great devil had no grudges in the past, but he had no grudges in recent days. What did he do in his house?

After saying that, he angrily scolded the servants beside him, "I am confused, the prince has arrived, and I don't know how to inform you!"

Although he was scolding the servants, he was referring to Sang and Huai, saying that Qin Xuanling had trespassed his mansion.

But Qin Xuanling obviously would not take his words to heart and continued to say to himself, "Well. I heard that Lord Wei is sick? I came to take a look... Hiss, when he saw it, Lord Wei seemed to be in great spirits!"

"Uh... the prince doesn't know that although the Weichen seems to be insignificant, it hurts the heart. Moreover, the doctor said that this disease is suspected of being contagious, so, the Weichen is really unable to attend court..."

Wei Kang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and felt that the servants in his mansion were useless, so he let the plague god come in.

"Well, it doesn't matter if you don't go to court. Lord Wei is so kind. I have no other intentions today. I just talk to the Lord about the severe drought in the northwest..."

As soon as he heard this, Wei Kang felt relieved in his heart. It seemed that Prince Xuan was here to be a lobbyist for the emperor today.

He immediately took the words, "Prince, I am worried about this! This severe drought in the northwest and the people are living in poverty is really heartbreaking. Shao Zimin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is really a fool, and he can't even handle this well!"

It was revealed in and out of the words that the Minister of Revenue was not good, but I have an idea. Come and beg me!

Qin Xuanling really followed his words and nodded.

"What Mr. Wei said is that the responsibility of the Ministry of Revenue is to raise money, fill the treasury, and control the country's expenses. But Shao Shangshu couldn't even do this. How could he keep the face of being a teacher?"

Wei Kang's face became more and more proud, but Qin Xuanling changed his mind, "So, I have already suggested to the emperor that such a useless fool should be killed!"

When Wei Kang heard this, he was so upset in his heart, "Prince, you... this... this court is using people. Such strict means may cause dissatisfaction in the court officials..."

Qin Xuanling suddenly curled the corners of his lips and smiled like a monster. "The court officials are dissatisfied? I found the money for disaster relief for the Minister of Revenue. Who dares to be dissatisfied?"

Wei Kang widened his eyes, and an ominous premonition suddenly rose in his heart, "Prince, what do you mean?"

Qin Xuanling said calmly, "I came to visit the Wei Mansion today. Mr. Wei is seriously ill and is still worried about the drought in the northwest. He expressed his willingness to pay the 300,000 taels of disaster relief money for the court."

Wei Kang covered his heart: "Don't joke, prince, I have been an official for many years and have been honest, so how can I get so much money??"

Qin Xuanling walked behind his hands to look at the koi in the fish pond, "It's true. I asked the imperial guards to search your mansion for a while, but only found more than 260,000 taels..."

He pondered for a moment, "Let's do this, you still owe more than 30,000 taels of silver to the treasury. Pay it back earlier, don't worry the emperor."

Wei Kang: "!!!!!!"
