It's a coincidence that the eldest princess of Pingyao converted to Buddhism a few days ago, and King An was going to give out money for disaster relief a few days ago. The timing seems too coincidental. Could it be that those rumors are not groundless, but have evidence.
Follow?
A family member went to attend the flower viewing party of Princess Pingyao. They thought that the incident involving the daughter of the Chu family and the targeting of the prince today seemed to connect the truth of the matter, and they were even more frightened.
Your Highness, is this your strength to protect your wife? It seems that Your Highness is really interested in Chu Yunxi, and for her, he will not hesitate to attack his own siblings. His methods are still so ruthless and decisive, and he can win with one move.
The emperor pondered, could it be that Lao Wu really had so much money?
"When did His Highness the Crown Prince talk to Prince An about everything? I just went to see Prince An yesterday, why didn't I hear him mention it?"
Xiao Guogong was quite angry at this time.
"Xu is the fifth brother, and he doesn't plan to go with Duke Xiao Guo. Otherwise, Duke Xiao would think that why the fifth brother has stayed behind closed doors these days? The fifth brother cares about the victims of the disaster, and said that he would not leave the house if he could not raise one hundred thousand taels of silver!
"
Duke Xiao snorted coldly, Jun Hongyan was banned not because of Chu Yunxi! This woman is really a scourge. The prince meant to let Jun Hongyan buy his freedom with one hundred thousand taels of silver.
The courtiers are not fools. It doesn't matter whether the prince and Prince An are not on good terms or whether Prince An will take the initiative to pay 100,000 taels of silver for the victims.
The important thing is that if the prince's hat is slapped on Prince An's head, Prince An will inevitably lose his money.
Tsk tsk, after offending the crown princess Chu Yunxi, a princess has to shave her head and become a monk, and a prince has to have his pockets emptied. It is really miserable.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to assist the Ministry of Revenue to collect the silver from Prince An's Mansion and escort it into the treasury."
Seeing the excitement, General Chu didn't think it was a big deal. He took the initiative to ask for a escort to escort the silver tael. After all, one hundred thousand taels is not a small amount.
Duke Xiao was so angry that he turned away. It was not difficult for the Xiao family to come up with one hundred thousand taels, but who wanted to let others take away the money in his pocket for nothing?
The emperor's face was as usual, but his heart was cloudless and clear, and the depression caused by the incident of Princess Pingyao was gone.
He is worthy of being his prince. In this way, the royal reputation is preserved, and so is his son. It only costs a little money to give Jun Hongyan a long memory, and he can give an explanation to the Chu family.
Anyway, the Xiao family is behind Lao Wu, so it’s okay to let the Xiao family contribute some blood. In this way, part of the disaster relief money will be solved. It’s really a good strategy to kill two birds with one stone.
"Then let's do it this way. King An volunteered to provide one hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief. General Chu will assist the Ministry of Household Affairs and return the silver taels to the treasury. All courtiers should follow King An's example."
"Yes, your Majesty is wise!"
The ministers shouted wisely, and felt bitter in their hearts. What did the emperor's last sentence mean? Wasn't it just to let everyone have money to contribute? The small treasury couldn't hold it back. They were all implicated by King An.
of.
Of course, the prince who raised this matter dared not speak out in anger, but in the final analysis, it was not King An who offended the prince first.
"Okay, if you have nothing to do, leave the court!" The emperor stood up simply this time.
"Your Majesty!" The courtiers, who had been jumping around for several days, finally stopped.
Just when the courtiers were bending down, a smile appeared on the emperor's face. Today's matter was done really beautifully. The big rocks that had been blocking his heart in the past few days were all solved perfectly. How could the emperor be unhappy?
When General Chu saw that the emperor had left, he grabbed the Minister of the Ministry of Finance who was also about to leave and said, "Master Liu, let's go to Prince An's Mansion to get money."
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance has a long face. He was promoted by Duke Xiao, but now he wants to steal his grandson's money. Maybe he will get something good in the future?
"Master Chu is too anxious. You must give King An a few days to prepare."
"Alas~, Mr. Liu, this is your fault. Are you looking down on King An? Or are you looking down on Concubine Xiao? Or are you looking down on Duke Xiao? It's only a hundred thousand taels of silver, how can you embarrass King An? Go quickly, go quickly,
Don't delay the errands assigned by the emperor."
As a civil servant, the Minister of Hubu was not as strong as General Chu who practiced martial arts all day long. Although he was reluctant, he could only be pushed away and dragged away.
In Prince An's Mansion, Jun Hongyan's injuries finally didn't hurt anymore. They only hurt his muscles and bones for a hundred days, and his arm still needs some time to heal. He was grounded by the emperor again and had nothing to do. He was basking in the sun on a recliner.
.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, it's not good, the Minister of Hubu and the General of Chu are here."
"Hiss~" Jun Hongyan was startled by the boy's sudden sound and sat up, pulling at his wound: "Why are you so surprised? Who is coming?"
The boy knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the Minister of Hubu and the General of Chu said that they came here with orders and wanted to get one hundred thousand taels of silver from you for disaster relief."
"What order? What one hundred thousand taels of silver?" Jun Hongyan looked confused.
"I've met King An!" The emperor ordered, and the two of them entered uninvited. Of course, the Minister of Hubu was dragged along by General Chu.
When Jun Hongyan saw General Chu, he thought of Chu Yunxi and Jun Lingyun, and who gave him this injury. But he did not forget that the purpose of doing all this was to get the Chu family.
power.
His eyes were stern for only a moment, and then he changed to a warm face: "I wonder, you two adults, why are you here with me?"
The Minister of Hubu looked at General Chu and thought, "Can't you do it?"
Since General Chu saw Jun Hongyan, he wished he could punch him in the face to avenge Chu Yunxi. Fortunately, the prince had already done this, so he held back.
He stretched out his hand to signal the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue to please say: "Master Liu, this is an errand for your Ministry of Revenue. I'm just here to escort you. You declare the order!"
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance had a dark look on his face. Originally, the emperor had told him that he did not need to declare the decree, and it would be okay to do things directly. But when General Chu said this, he had to declare the decree. In this way, King An had to kneel down to receive the decree.
"What is your father's will?"
Jun Hongyan frowned and looked at the Minister of Household Affairs. He remembered the one hundred thousand taels of silver that the boy had just mentioned for disaster relief, and felt something was wrong.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was put on the fire, and he could only catch the duck and put it on the shelf: "Pass the emperor's oral message!"
Jun Hongyan could only kneel on his knees: "I accept the order!"
General Chu and the Minister of Hubu stood together, straightening their backs, and comfortably accepted Jun Hongyan's kneeling.
Shangshu Hube took a deep breath, lest he wanted to punch General Chu's serious face, but failed and was killed instead. He could only continue to declare:
"King An volunteered to provide one hundred thousand taels of silver for disaster relief. General Chu will assist the Ministry of Household Affairs and return the silver taels to the treasury. All courtiers should follow King An as an example."
Jun Hongyan opened his eyes wide with a look of disbelief. Father, is this a robbery? Or a punishment?
"Did your father really say that?"
"Prince An is righteous! I believe that with Prince An taking the lead, the Ministry of Revenue will be able to successfully raise enough silver for disaster relief this time."
General Chu's words almost made Jun Hongyan blush. Damn it, Chu Yunxi, if only he were still as stupid as before. He would have followed him long ago, and he wouldn't have to go to such great lengths. Unexpectedly
A vulgar warrior's daughter has become his biggest stumbling block now.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance was also worried. His job was really thankless. He seemed to have forgotten that when he fought hard to get this position, it was because it was convenient for him to make money.
Jun Hongyan didn't want to spend a penny to provide disaster relief? The life and death of those stupid people was none of his business? But his father had already issued an order, so what could he do? In his heart, he cursed Jun Lingyun and Chu Yunxi for causing him to lose money.
After a while.
