Chapter 397 I just don't want to give him the Murong family life
"I just don't want to give birth to a child for our Murong family."
It’s a headache…
There was a hint of regret in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor.
"Then do we want to stop Princess Lie?" the secret guard asked.
If Princess Lie continues to instigate fights among several big families, she will then intervene in the battles between several princes for the right to inherit the throne.
If this continues, Northern Qi will basically be destroyed by her.
The Supreme Emperor squinted his eyes, puffed out smoke, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about it, Gu Dao wants to see what else she can do."
…
"Your Majesty, the Shen family has sent one hundred thousand taels." Gao Feng took the banknote and entered the study, but did not send it to Xingyue Tower.
Murong Xiao put down the book of war and glanced at the brocade box, "In addition, prepare another hundred thousand taels to send to the princess, and these one hundred thousand taels will be given to me."
Saying that, he hugged the brocade box and entered the palace.
At this time, Shen Jing was in the imperial study room explaining to Emperor Beiwu that he had finally managed to persuade Emperor Beiwu not to punish him too severely by selling him miserably.
They just removed Shen Liu's first-grade wife.
A small punishment but a big warning.
Shen Jing secretly breathed a sigh of relief as the Shen family was not held accountable, "Thank you, Your Majesty... I will personally go to Changning Marquis tomorrow to apologize to the eldest princess."
Emperor Beiwu was worried about military pay and didn't want to worry about their nonsense, "Well..."
I was planning to discuss with him how to raise 100,000 taels of military pay to pay salaries to some military camps first.
At this time, the young eunuch came in and reported, "Your Majesty, Prince Lie wants to see you."
"pass."
Murong Xiao came in holding the brocade box, "I have met my father."
Emperor Beiwu saw him holding the brocade box and frowned, "What are you holding?"
When Shen Jing saw the brocade box, his heart skipped a beat because it belonged to the Shen family.
Murong Xiao glanced at Shen Jing coldly, raised his lips and smiled: "Weier heard that my father was worried about insufficient military pay, so I asked my son to send a hundred thousand taels to my father to solve his urgent need."
"Where did she get one hundred thousand taels? Didn't she say she had no money?" Emperor Beiwu was suddenly surprised.
"It was Mr. Shen who sent someone to the palace to ask Wei'er to prepare a pill for Mr. Shen to cure the problem."
"My son, I didn't expect that the Shen family is so rich. They actually prepared one hundred thousand taels of silver notes in less than a day." Murong Xiao's face was expressionless, but those words were simply killing people.
Now the treasury of the Northern Qi Dynasty is empty, and the imperial court has not paid salaries to several officials.
But the Shen family still has so much money.
Emperor Beiwu immediately stared at Shen Jing with cold eyes. The first thing he thought of was that the money from his treasury had been taken away by him.
Shen Jing almost wanted to curse, but he had to hold it back and said with a smile: "It's Princess Lie who asked for one hundred thousand taels of pills. I was anxious to cure Yan'er's hidden disease, but there was no way. The lady used her dowry to get it together." Collect these 100,000 taels of silver notes."
Murong Xiao raised the corners of his lips, "Mrs. Shen's dowry is so generous, it seems that the Liu family is also very rich."
Shen Jing's expression changed, he looked at the emperor, and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, in addition to the wife's dowry, there is also Zhuo'er who has a good relationship with Bai Yisheng of the Divine Medical Pavilion. Not all the money she borrowed from him came from the Shen family."
Murong Xiao smiled and said no more.
Emperor Beiwu's expression did not soften.
The Divine Medical Pavilion had a close relationship with the Shen family, a mutually beneficial relationship. Emperor Beiwu knew that he had tacitly approved of this. Every month, the Divine Medical Pavilion would send 100,000 taels of silver notes to him through the Shen family.
I just didn’t expect that the Divine Medical Pavilion still has so much money?
Then asking him to pay a tribute of 100,000 taels every month seems to be too little.
Next month, the Bai family will be asked to pay tribute of 200,000 taels.
Emperor Beiwu stared at Shen Jing with a gloomy look and said, "Well, Princess Lie is interested. Ask her if there is anything she likes and tell me. I will reward her."
After Murong Xiao achieved his goal, he handed over his hand and said, "It is what a son should do to share the worries of the father. It is getting late, so I should leave first."
With that said, he exited the imperial study, regardless of how Emperor Beiwu got angry and scolded Shen Jing.
Anyway, the Shen family and Bai Luochen will be in bad luck next time.
This is just a warning. If you dare to attack his woman again, he will not show mercy next time.
Murong Xiao's lips curled up coldly, and his eyes darkened as he walked out of the imperial study.
…
Bai Luochen almost vomited blood after hearing the news.
A monthly tribute of two hundred thousand taels?
He brought so much money!
One hundred thousand taels is already the limit for the Divine Medical Pavilion, because the Bai family does not only open medicine shops in Northern Qi.
There are miracle medical pavilions in other countries, but the model is the same.
They all hugged the thighs of local dignitaries and secretly wanted to pay tribute a lot of money.
After layer upon layer of exploitation, in fact, the money they received from the Bai family was just recouping the cost.
Shen Zhuo hurriedly came over to comfort him, "Brother Bai, I'm sorry, we didn't expect Murong Xiao to be so insidious. He deliberately sent one hundred thousand taels to the palace at this time."
