"Mama, you're the only one left in this palace." Concubine Bo eased her heart, and her beautiful eyes were sad.

The gray sky obscured the hatred in Concubine Bo's eyes, she couldn't accept the feeling of falling from the clouds, even if those damn minions came to harass her every day, they couldn't make her back down!

Mama Li didn't notice her thoughts, and felt sorry for the old master who quietly accompanied her to comfort her.

Now there are no other concubines in the harem, and the queen mother and the concubine Bo are wary of each other and have installed a lot of eyeliner. Her actions in the past few days have already spread to Cining Palace.

The queen mother has also been sick recently, but she did not let anyone inform the emperor, she is a wise woman, and now the situation of internal and external troubles in Daqi, Murong Hao will not allow anything to happen.

If no one is in charge of the overall situation, Daqi will be in chaos.

Qinglan has always been by the side of the Queen Mother, and she knows no less news than the Queen Mother, she massaged the Queen Mother's shoulders with moderate strength, and said softly: "Queen Mother, the tricks made by the Queen Mother this time can indeed confuse the sight, and the emperor doesn't seem to believe it." ”

The Queen Mother did not apply rouge and gouache, her long dark hair was coiled up, wrinkles climbed into the corners of her eyes, and the face that once made people stop to admire was now old-fashioned. She was dressed simply, leaning on the warm kang, wearing a plush blanket on her body, holding a hand stove in her hand, and it was very warm to look at.

The Queen Mother was originally closing her eyes to recuperate, but she smiled when she heard Qinglan's words, "Looking at this situation, it's not like the woman is pretending, she just came out of the cold palace and made this movement that is not good for her, but it's not true." ”

What the Queen Mother said was ambiguous, Qinglan secretly figured it out, and didn't say what she guessed. It's just that he waits for the master more attentively.

"She's very ambitious, and she won't give up so easily." The Queen Mother seemed to think that this empty room was too quiet, and said more.

Qinglan had an epiphany, "Niangniang, we have been waiting for the best time to make a move for a long time. ”

The queen mother felt very tired, but she couldn't say it, although she was the queen mother, she didn't have real power in her hands, but over the years, Concubine Bo has used the power behind her to control many servants and officials.

Some time ago, the emperor killed the Maitreya Sect and also pulled many officials who had been bribed to dismount, but it was impossible to get rid of all the Maitreya Sects, and this kind of cult was most likely to resurge. Therefore, the Empress Dowager was able to monitor Concubine Bo but could not find substantial evidence.

Every time you put in the eyeliner, you will soon make a mistake or the reason for angering the concubine will disappear without a trace.

"The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, we can only continue to wait, she is the emperor is the biological mother, when the emperor can't stand her, he will naturally deal with it, if it is brought up by us, I am afraid that the emperor will feel uncomfortable."

Qinglan understood the truth, nodded and didn't say much, but she was thinking in her heart, how could it be a simple matter to deal with Concubine Bo, that was the emperor's biological mother, and if she didn't handle it well, it would have a great impact on the emperor.

The Queen Mother closed her eyes again and said softly: "We quietly watch her play, and one day she will die." ”

Qinglan suddenly had nothing to say, unless the country was destroyed, there was really no one who could shake the position of the queen mother.

This rain...... Always non-stop.

The twists and turns about the flood were constantly sent to Murong Hao in the early dynasty, and the treasury was not sufficient, so he was really anxious and pretended to be calm and was trying to find a way.

At this time, in the imperial study. The three adults in charge of this area were anxiously waiting for the emperor's instructions.

Murong Hao glanced at them, flipped through the treasury account books handed over by the slave with a cold face, and was very dissatisfied with these ministers who couldn't deal with anything.

He closed the undeniable account book, and recorded every single one, most of which were the soldiers and horses that flowed into the barracks. There are only one million taels of silver left in the entire treasury, and the affected area continues to expand, and this million taels is definitely not enough to resettle. He restrained the unhappiness in his heart, tried his best to keep a calm voice and asked, "Is there any way for the three Aiqing to solve the problem of the deficit of the treasury?" ”

These three ministers are nothing more than the servants of the Ministry and the remaining two third-grade officials. If they had a way, they wouldn't be standing here, and the three of them looked at each other.

"Huh?" Murong Hao's nasal voice put a lot of pressure on the minister.

Lord Zhao, the servant of the ministry, knew the situation of the treasury, and dared to offer advice to Murong Hao: "Your Majesty, if the King of Zhongshan is willing to lend a helping hand at this time, he can solve the problem of insufficient treasury. Because at this time we can't go to taxes. ”

As soon as he spoke, the other two third-grade officials hurriedly chimed in, "Yes, Your Majesty, the King of Zhongshan and the Princess of Zhongshan have always been kind and generous to the Bodhisattva, if they knew the situation in the court, they would definitely be generous." ”

Speaking of the King of Zhongshan, Murong Hao thought of Chenxi, although he hadn't seen her for a long time, but her voice, smile, and various expressions existed in her mind, the more she missed it, the clearer it became, he seemed to be a little stunned, and only Chenxi was in his eyes and his heart in the world.

Seeing that he couldn't wait for the emperor's answer, he dared to look up at the emperor.

This look happened to see the corners of Murong Hao's mouth raised, obviously agreeing with his method, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief,

Murong Hao noticed the gaze of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and quickly came back to his senses, retracted his smile and said expressionlessly: "Do you think that the King of Zhongshan will hand over the silver to us, instead of directly exchanging the silver for supplies to the victims?" ”

Being said like this, the heart of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites was half raised, and he didn't take this problem into account, but now that he thinks about it, it's really the case, the King of Zhongshan will not put the silver in their hands, they are all officials, who doesn't know whose virtue, you and I don't take much, but when it reaches the hands of the victims, it's really pitiful.

This is all a secret rule, when the silver taels pass through your hands from above, can you take it if the adults above tell you to take it? Do you dare to spread it after you take it? It's all pulling you into the same situation.

How could a ceremonial waiter who had also done so say it?

They could only bow their heads even more weakly, "What the emperor said is reasonable. "But at this moment, wouldn't it be nice to be able to solve the deficit of the national treasury and solve the problem of the victims! What's the problem with the silver not going through the court!

Murong Gai snorted coldly, and slapped the music in his hand on the bookcase, which frightened the hearts of these ministers.

"Lord Zhao, what kind of existence do we have in the hearts of the people? What is the country? Every time there is a disaster when the people need to be appeased, the king of Zhongshan comes forward, and the people only have the king of Zhongshan and the princess of Zhongshan in their hearts, so what's the use of me, what is the use of you! ”

Once the weight of faith exceeds that of the imperial court, the king of Zhongshan is the king.

Moreover, the voice of the king and his wife in the people is very high, and if it goes on like this, he ...... How can there be no sense of crisis.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites understood as soon as he heard it, and quickly admitted his mistake and patted his ass and said: "The emperor is worthy of being the emperor, and he sees things much longer than Weichen, and it is true that going on like this will have an impact on my dynasty." If you can persuade the king of Zhongshan to transfer the silver two to the imperial court......"

"Lord Zhao! Are you kidding? It is enough for the news of the victims to reach the ears of the King of Zhongshan, and the court must come out! Besides, is there any way to get silver? ”

The three ministers stood there respectfully, worried, even if they spit out all the food they ate, it was not enough to see, not to mention who wants to spit it out!

Murong Hao only made a statement in front of them, and specifically let them think about it, these ministers were not raised to be rice buckets! He himself was trying to think about it.

The time for a cup of tea passed, and Father-in-law De quietly stepped forward to replace the emperor with freshly brewed hot tea, and silently retreated.

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites braved great pressure to admonish, and he knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is really no way to find so many silver taels in the short term, Weichen has an idea, but it still needs to be decided by the emperor." ”

"Say!"

"Your Majesty, this businessman is everywhere, in addition to the princess of Zhongshan's family, there are also the second richest man and the third richest man, and their financial resources cannot be underestimated. I heard that the princess of Zhongshan temporarily sealed half of her property, and the emperor could let potential businessmen be promoted as imperial merchants. ”

When Murong Hao heard this, his mind just turned and said, "Then ask this businessman who is promoted as an imperial merchant to automatically replenish it when the treasury is in deficit?" Lord Zhao, what is the reason why these businessmen are willing to compete for the imperial merchants! They are interested in silver! As a result, you let them eat it from over there and spit it it out here? You go to find such a profitless businessman. ”

Servant of the Ministry of Officials: "......" His face turned pale, knowing that he hadn't thought it through, but the emperor personally issued an order to convey it, which businessman dared to resist the decree?

Alas...... The emperor is still too young, thin-skinned, and has a good face!

As soon as he did this, he heard the emperor say directly above him: "Do you think I can do it with a holy decree?" Who have I become? Even if they are willing to give their money, they will want to make a good name, and you expect to take a sword around someone's neck, rob them of their property, and order them not to say anything? ”

"The emperor is angry, and Weichen is not thoughtful."

The waiter of the Ministry of Rites knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.

Murong Hao was not lightly angered by this group of pig-brained ministers, although Lord Zhao's method was not impossible, how could he dare not send silver to the door when he ordered the businessman, but he was the king of a country, how could he be reduced to the point of robbing it openly, and if he wanted silver, he would let the other party send it willingly. He took a deep breath and looked at the other two third-grade officials who had a low sense of presence and were speechless.

"What can you do about it?"

The emperor was obviously talking to them, and they knelt down with them, unable to speak.

Murong Hao's patience was about to be exhausted, and one of the short officials, Master Lian, said even more worriedly, "Back to the emperor, tens of millions of wealth is rich, it is reported that he has an only daughter, who looks beautiful and beautiful, and tens of millions of dollars especially want to take this antenna in the palace." ”

There was a lot of information in this sentence, Murong Hao thought to himself, and then asked for a moment: "Who is this tens of millions of wealth?" ”

"Back to the emperor, tens of millions of wealth is the second richest man in the middle of the Zhongshan Princess, he runs a lot of shops, and he is also very wide-ranging, except for the canned food of the Zhongshan Princess's characteristics, he can't get it, the others are almost the same." Master Lian saw that there was a play, and the bamboo tube poured beans 1510 and confessed.

Murong Hao stared at him meaningfully, and there was something sadistic. "What does Lian Aiqing have to do with this tens of millions of dollars?"

Lord Lian's heart tightened, and he tried to calm down: "Your Majesty, Weichen has nothing to do with this tens of millions of wealth!" ”

Lord Zhao, who was kneeling on the ground, glanced at him, full of disbelief.
